(a) |
As part of the Merger, the Company assumed certain
liabilities from a previous member of A Squared which has claimed certain liabilities totaling $925,000. The Company disputes
the basis for this liability. |

(b) |
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company entered into an
exclusive three year agreement with Sony DADC, the optical disc manufacturing and fulfillment arm of Sony, to provide all
CD, DVD and BD replication, packaging and distribution to Genius Brands International’s direct customers. Under the
terms of the long-term, exclusive supply chain services agreement, the Company will order a minimum level of disc replication,
packaging and distribution services for its content across all physical media, including DVD, CD, and Blu-ray from Sony DADC.
As consideration for these minimum order levels, the Company received a total of $1,500,000, $750,000 during the first quarter
of 2014 and $750,000 during the first quarter of 2015. At the end of the term, the Company is obligated to repay
a pro-rata portion of the advance if it has not ordered a minimum number of DVD/CD units during the term. |
