NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The
Company and Nature of Business
Video
River Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) is a technology firm that operates and manages a portfolio of Electric Vehicles, Artificial
Intelligence, Machine Learning and Robotics (“EV-AI-ML-R”) assets, businesses and operations in North America. The Company’s
current and target portfolio businesses and assets include operations that design, develop, manufacture and sell high-performance fully
electric vehicles and design, manufacture, install and sell Power Controls, Battery Technology, Wireless Technology, and Residential
utility meters and remote, mission-critical devices mostly engineered through Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Robotic technologies.
Our
current technology-focused business model was a result of our board resolution on September
15, 2020 to spin-in our specialty real estate holding business to an operating subsidiary and then pivot back to being a technology company.
The Company has now returned back to its original technology-focused businesses of Power Controls,
Battery Technology, Wireless Technology, and Residential utility meters and remote, mission-critical devices. In addition to above list,
the Company intends to spread its wings into the Electric Vehicles, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Robotics (“EV-AI-ML-R”)
businesses/markets, targeting acquisition, ownership and operation of acquired EV-AI-ML-R businesses or portfolio of EV-AI-ML-R businesses.
Video
River Networks, Inc., prior to September 15, 2020, used to be a specialty real estate holding company, focuses on the acquisition, ownership,
and management of specialized industrial properties. Prior to its real estate business model, the
Company’s Power Controls Division has used wireless technology to control both residential utility meters and remote, mission-critical
devices since 2002.
The
current management of the Company resulted from a purchase of voting control of the Company by Community Economic Development Capital
LLC, (“CED Capital”) a California limited liability company. After the change of control transaction, CED Capital spun out
the control-stock to its sole unitholder before being sold to the Company for $1. Thereafter CED Capital became an operating subsidiary
of the Company. We used the acquisition of method of accounting for acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group method to account for this
transaction. The cost of the acquisition was measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities
incurred or assumed at the date of exchange.
As
previously disclosed on our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on December 8, 2019, on October 29, 2019, the
company sold one (1) Special 2019 series A preferred share (one preferred share is convertible 150,000,000 share of common stocks) of
the company for Fifty Thousand and 00/100 ($50,000/00) Dollars, to Community Economic Development Capital LLC, a California limited liability
company. The Special preferred share controls 60% of the company’s total voting rights. The issuance of the preferred share to
Community Economic Development Capital LLC gave to Community Economic Development Capital LLC, the controlling vote to control and dominate
the affairs of the company theretofor.
On
September 15, 2020, Video River Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a stock purchase agreement with Kid Castle Educational
Corporation (“Kid Castle”), an entity related to, and controlled by our President and CEO with respect to the purchase through
private placement, of 900,000 shares of its preferred stock at a purchase price of $3 in cash and a transfer of 100% interest in, and
control of Community Economic Development Capital, LLC (a California Limited Liability Company). The shares were issued to the investors
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 based upon exemptions from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Act
and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The issuances did not involve any public offering; no general solicitation or general advertising
was used in connection with the offering. As at the time of this transaction, all four businesses involved in the transaction were controlled
by Mr. Frank I Igwealor. Because both the buyer and seller in the above acquisitions were under the control of the same person, the transaction
was classified as “common control transaction and therefore fall under “Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control
“subsections of ASC 805-50. Following the acquisition, the Company now has 55% (which has now grown to 97.58%) of the voting control
of and 100% of the operating and financial control of Kid Castle.
On
April 21, 2021, the Company sold Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. (“CBDX”), a California corporation, to Premier Information
Management, Inc. for $1 in cash. As further consideration pursuant to the stated sales, CBDX returned Kid Castle Educational Inc., the
parent Company of GMPW, the 100,000 shares of KDCE preferred stock and 900,000,000 shares of KDCE common stock that CBDX bought in October
of 2019. Pursuant to the April 21, 2021 transaction, CBDX ceased from being a subsidiary of GMPW, effective April 1, 2021.
On
December 30, 2021, in exchange for its 87% control block in GiveMePower Corporation, the Company received 100% stake in Alpharidge Capital
LLC from GiveMePower, in a cashless transaction, resulting in each public company going its separate way and an independent company.
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company therefore include Video River Networks, Inc. and subsidiaries of its subsidiary, Alpharidge
Capital, LLC (“Alpharidge”), and subsidiaries, in which it has a controlling voting interest and entities consolidated under
the variable interest entities (“VIE”) provisions of ASC 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”), after
elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts.
Following
the completion of the transaction with Kid Castle, the Company having been partly freed of the internally-managed real estate holding
business that focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of specialized industrial properties, affordable housing and opportunity
zone real estate properties and businesses, has decided to return back to its original technology-focused businesses of Power
Controls, Battery Technology, Wireless Technology, and Residential utility meters and remote, mission-critical devices. In addition to
above list, the Company is spreading its wings into the Electric Vehicles, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Robotics (“EV-AI-ML-R”)
businesses/markets, targeting acquisition, ownership, and operation of acquired EV-AI-ML-R businesses or portfolio of EV-AI-ML-R businesses.
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company therefore include Video River Networks, Inc., whose main operating subsidiary Alpharidge
Capital, LLC (“Alpharidge”), and subsidiaries, in which the Company has a controlling voting interest and entities consolidated
under the variable interest entities (“VIE”) provisions of ASC 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”),
after elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, in which the Company has a controlling voting
interest and entities consolidated under the variable interest entities (“VIE”) provisions of ASC 810, “Consolidation”
(“ASC 810”). Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
ASC
810 requires that the investor with the controlling financial interest should consolidate the investee/affiliate. ASC 810-10 requires
that an equity interest investor consolidates a VIE when it retains an investment in the entity, is considered a variable interest investor
in the entity, and is the primary beneficiary of the entity. An investor in a VIE is a “variable interest beneficiary” when,
per an arrangement’s governing documents, the investor will absorb a portion of the VIE’s expected losses or will receive
a portion of the entity’s “residual returns.” The variable interest beneficiary retaining a controlling financial interest
in the VIE is designated as its “primary beneficiary” and must consolidate the VIE. A variable interest beneficiary retains
a “controlling financial interest” in a VIE when that beneficiary retains the power to direct the activities of the VIE that
have the greatest influence over the VIE’s economic performance and retains an obligation to absorb the VIE’s significant
losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Based on the ASC 810 test above,
Video River Networks Inc. is the primary beneficiary of Video River Networks, Inc. (the
“VIE”) because Video River Networks retained a controlling financial interest
in the VIE and has the power to direct the activities of the VIE, having the greatest influence over the VIE’s economic performance
and retains an obligation to absorb the VIE’s significant losses and the right to determine and receive benefits from the VIE.
NOTE
2. GOING CONCERN
Our
financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going
concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the period
ended March 31, 2023, we reported revenue of $380,932 and an accumulated deficit of $16,112,498 as of March 31, 2023. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities
that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to
raise debt or equity funding to meet our ongoing operating expenses and ultimately in merging with another entity with experienced management
and profitable operations. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in achieving these objectives.
NOTE
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
A
summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in the understanding of the financial statements. These policies conform
to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied. The Company has elected
a calendar year of December 31 year-end.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries, in which the Company has a controlling voting
interest and entities consolidated under the variable interest entities (“VIE”) provisions of ASC 810, “Consolidation”
(“ASC 810”). The consolidated financial statements include the Company and Video River Networks, Inc., and all its controlled
subsidiary companies. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in business entities in
which we do not have control, but we could exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies (generally 20% to 50%
ownership) are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Operating results of acquired businesses are included in the Consolidated
Statements of Income from the date of acquisition. We consolidate variable interest entities if we have operational and financial control
and are deemed to be the >50.1% beneficiary of the profit and loss of the entity. Operating results for variable interest entities
in which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income from the date such determination
is made.
COVID-19
Risks, Impacts and Uncertainties
COVID-19
Risks, Impacts and Uncertainties — We are subject to the risks arising from COVID-19’s impact on the residential real estate
industry. Our management believes that these impacts, which include but are not limited to the following, could have a significant negative
effect on our future financial position, results of operations, and cash flows: (i) prohibitions or limitations on in-person activities
associated with residential real estate transactions; (ii) lack of consumer desire for in-person interactions and physical home tours;
and (iii) deteriorating economic conditions, such as increased unemployment rates, recessionary conditions, lower yields on individuals’
investment portfolios, and more stringent mortgage financing conditions. In addition, we have considered the impacts and uncertainties
of COVID-19 in our use of estimates in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. These estimates include, but are not limited
to, likelihood of achieving performance conditions under performance-based equity awards, net realizable value of inventory, and the
fair value of reporting units and goodwill for impairment.
From
April 2020, following the government lockdown order, we asked all employees to begin to work from their homes and we also reduced the
number of hours available to each of our employees by approximately by approximately 75%. These actions taken in response to the economic
impact of COVID-19 on our business resulted in a reduction of productivity for the period ended March 31, 2023 and subsequent quarterly
periods. All costs related to these actions are included in general and administrative expenses, as these costs were determined to be
direct and incremental.
Use
of Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
We
maintain cash balances in a non-interest-bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For the statements
of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. as of March
31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 we did maintain $19,918 and $64,579 balance of cash equivalents respectively.
Financial
Instruments
The
estimated fair values for financial instruments were determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These
estimates involved uncertainties and could not be determined with precision. The carrying amount of our accounts payable and accruals,
our accruals- related parties and loans – related parties approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturities of
these instruments.
Fair
Value Measurements:
ASC
Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), provides a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value
and expands disclosures which are required about fair value measurements. Specifically, ASC 820 sets forth a definition of fair value
and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. ASC 820 defines the hierarchy as follows:
Level
1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The types of assets
and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities listed on
the New York Stock Exchange.
Level
2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets but are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported
date. The types of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts or priced
with models using highly observable inputs.
Level
3 – Significant inputs to pricing that are unobservable as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included
in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as complex and subjective models and forecasts
used to determine the fair value of financial transmission rights.
Our
financial instruments consist of accounts payable and accruals and our accruals- related parties. The carrying amount of the out accounts
payable and accruals, accruals- related parties and loans – related parties approximates their fair values because of the short-term
maturities of these instruments.
The
table below describes the Company’s valuation of financial instruments using guidance from ASC 820-10:

Investment
– Trading Securities
All
investment securities are classified as trading securities and are carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 320 Investments —
Debt and Equity Securities. Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments
are based on the first-in, first-out or the specific identification method. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are
recorded in the statements of operations as realized and unrealized gains or losses as net revenue. All investment securities are held
and transacted by the Company’s broker firm. The Company did not hold more than 4.9% of equity of the shares of any public companies
as investments as of March 31, 2023.
All
investments that are listed on a securities exchange are valued at their last sales price on the primary securities exchange on which
such securities are traded on such date. Securities that are not listed on any exchange but are traded over-the-counter are valued at
the mean between the last “bid” and “ask” price for such security on such date. The Company does not have any
investment securities for which market quotes are not readily available.
The
Company’s trading securities are held by a third-party brokerage firm, and composed of publicly traded companies with readily available
fair value which are quoted prices in active markets.
Related
Party Transactions:
A
related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of our membership interests including such person’s
immediate families, (ii) our management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control
with us, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence our financial and operating decisions. A transaction is considered to be a related
party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Revenue,
Assets and Liabilities of Consolidated Subsidiary and Financial Statement Relationship
As
at March 31, 2023 Video River Networks, Inc. has a 81.75% controlling stake in Kid Castle Educational Corporation. Because of the consolidated
subsidiary relationship between these two companies, the singular Revenue, Assets and Liabilities recognized and disclosed on the financial
statements of Kid Castle Educational Corporation are also recognized and disclosed on the financial statements of Video River Networks,
Inc. pursuant to ASC 810.
Leases:
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” that requires for leases longer than one year, a lessee to recognize
in the statement of financial condition a right-of-use asset, representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term,
and a lease liability, representing the liability to make lease payments. The accounting update also requires that for finance leases,
a lessee recognize interest expense on the lease liability, separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statements
of earnings, while for operating leases, such amounts should be recognized as a combined expense. In addition, this accounting update
requires expanded disclosures about the nature and terms of lease agreements. The Company has reviewed the new standard and does not
expect it to have a material impact to the statement of financial condition or its net capital.
Prior
to January 1, 2019, the Company accounted for leases under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Accounting for Leases. Effective
from January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset
and a lease liability for virtually all leases. On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases
(Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the
balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions. ASC 842 requires that lessees recognize right of use assets
and lease liabilities calculated based on the present value of lease payments for all lease agreements with terms that are greater than
twelve months. It requires for leases longer than one year, a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial condition a right·of·use
asset, representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability, representing the liability to make
lease payments. ASC 842 distinguishes leases as either a finance lease or an operating lease that affects how the leases are measured
and presented in the statement of operations and statement of cash flows. ASC 842 supersedes nearly all existing lease accounting guidance
under GAAP issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) including ASC Topic 840, Leases.The accounting update
also requires that for finance leases, a lessee recognize interest expense on the lease liability, separately from the amortization of
the right-of-use asset in the statements of earnings, while for operating leases, such amounts should be recognized as a combined expense.
In addition, this accounting update requires expanded disclosures about the nature and terms of lease agreements.
The
Company does not have operating and financing leases as of March 31, 2023. The adoption of ASC 842 did not materially impact our results
of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof. The Company has reviewed the new standard and does not expect it to have a material
impact to the statement of financial condition or its net capital.
Income
Taxes:
Under
the asset and liability method prescribed within ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for
the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in
the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred
tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The realizability of deferred tax
assets is assessed throughout the year and a valuation allowance is recorded if necessary, to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount
more likely than not to be realized. Certain prior period deferred tax disclosures were reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
ASC
740 provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will
be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of
the position. ASC 740 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition.
The
Company’s practice is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in selling
and administrative expense. as of March 31, 2023, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties on unrecognized tax benefits.
The
provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities,
and for operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted
tax rates that apply to taxable income in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized or settled. We record
a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
Uncertain
Tax Positions:
We
evaluate tax positions in a two-step process. We first determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained
upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold
it is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the
largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We classify gross interest and
penalties and unrecognized tax benefits that are not expected to result in payment or receipt of cash within one year as long term liabilities
in the financial statements.
Revenue
Recognition:
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires that five basic steps be followed to recognize revenue:
(1) a legally enforceable contract that meets criteria standards as to composition and substance is identified; (2) performance obligations
relating to provision of goods or services to the customer are identified; (3) the transaction price, with consideration given to any
variable, noncash, or other relevant consideration, is determined; (4) the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations;
and (5) revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customer with consideration given, whether that
control happens over time or not. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on our management’s judgments regarding the fixed
nature of the selling prices of the products and services delivered and the collectability of those amounts. The adoption of ASC 606
did not result in a change to the accounting for any of the in-scope revenue streams; as such, no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded.
The
Company generates revenue primarily from: (1) the sale of homes/properties, (2) commissions
and fees charged on each real estate services transaction closed by our lead agents or partner agents, and (3) sales of trading securities
using its broker firm, less original purchase cost. Net trading revenues primarily consist of revenues from trading securities earned
upon completion of trade, net of any trading fees. A trading is completed when earned and recognized at a point in time, on a trade-date
basis, as the Company executes trades. The Company records trading revenue on a net basis, trading sales less original purchase cost.
Net realized gains and losses from securities transactions are determined for federal income tax and financial reporting purposes on
the first-in, first-out method and represent proceeds on disposition of investments less the cost basis of investments. Sale of real
estate properties are recognized at the sales price/amount and the total cost (including cost of rehabilitations) associated with the
property acquisition and rehabilitation are classified in Cost of Goods Sold (COGS).
During
the period ended March 31, 2023, the Company did recognized revenue of $380,932 consisting $(111,630) in total principal transaction,
and $475,000 from the Entrepreneurship Development Initiative. The Company also recorded $17,562 in interest income from its Entrepreneurship
Development Initiative.
Entrepreneurship
Development Initiative (“EDI”) – Revenue
EDI
revenue comes from the sale of shell from Alpharidge Capital LLC (“Alpharidge”) list of portfolio companies of custodianship
companies. Alpharidge sells these custodianship or portfolio companies to ambitious entrepreneurs who have developed, or are developing
viable business plans. While the sale prices differ from one pubco to another, terms of payment is the major determinant of the sale-price.
All-cash deals are the cheapest at less than $75,000. While hybrid options that combined small cash outlay with 24 months Convertible
Notes are the most affordable. As at March 31, 2023, Alpharidge has sold fifteen shells altogether with prices ranging between $25,000
and $475,000 each in cash, equities, and convertible notes payable, totaling $3,760,033 for the period. The Company also recorded $195,376in
interest income from its Entrepreneurship Development Initiative.
Advertising
Costs:
We
expense advertising costs when advertisements occur. During
the period ended March 31, 2023, the Company did recognized advertising costs of $114.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
The
Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents.
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. The Company maintains cash balances
at financial institutions within the United States which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
up to limits of approximately $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is
not exposed to any risk of loss on its cash bank accounts. It is possible that at times, the company’s cash and cash equivalents
with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. In such situation, the Company’s
management would assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes
that any associated credit risk exposures would be addressed and mitigated.
Stock
Based Compensation:
The
cost of equity instruments issued to non-employees in return in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”
for goods and services is measured by the fair value of the goods or services received or the measurement date fair value of the equity
instruments issued, whichever is the more readily determinable. Measurement date for non-employees is the earlier of performance commitment
date or the completion of services. The cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments is based on the grant date
fair value of the equity instruments issued in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation.”

NOTE
8. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Net
Loss per Share Calculation:
Basic
net loss per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive earnings per share include the effect of any potentially dilutive debt or equity
under the treasury stock method, if including such instruments is dilutive, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued.
Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The
Company’s diluted earnings per share is the same as the basic earnings per share for the period January 1, 2023 to March 31, 2023,
as there are no potential shares outstanding that would have a dilutive effect.

NOTE
9. INCOME TAXES
Deferred
income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance is established against all net deferred tax
assets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 based on estimates of recoverability. While the Company has optimistic plans for its
business strategy, it determined that such a valuation allowance was necessary given the current and expected near term losses and the
uncertainty with respect to its ability to generate sufficient profits from its business model.
We
did not provide any current or deferred US federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented in these financial
statements because we have accumulated substantial operating losses over the years. When it is more likely than not, that a tax asset
cannot be realized through future income, we must record an allowance against any future potential future tax benefit. We have provided
a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has
determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry
forward periods.
The
Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements as of March 31, 2023
and December 31, 2022 as defined under ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” We did not recognize any adjustment to the
liability for uncertain tax position and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of the accumulated deficit
on the balance sheet.

The
Company has recorded as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, a valuation allowance of $4,189,249 and $4,262,546 respectively, as
it believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future years. Management has based its
assessment on the Company’s lack of profitable operating history.
The
valuation allowance $4,189,249 as at March 31, 2023 decreased by $73,297 compared to December 31, 2022 of $4,262,546, as a result of
the Company generating additional net operating income of $281,911.
The
Company conducts an analysis of its tax positions and has concluded that it has no uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2023 and December
31, 2022.
The
Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $16,112,498. Such amounts are subject to IRS code section 382 limitations
and expire in 2033.

10. RECENTLY ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
ASU
2019-12 — In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019- 12, Simplifying the
Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to
the general principles in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments also improve
consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 will
be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The transition requirements
are dependent upon each amendment within this update and will be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not
expect this ASU to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
ASU
2016-13 — In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends
FASB ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. In addition, in May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Targeted
Transition Relief, which updates FASB ASU 2016-13. These ASU’s require financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented
at the net amount to be collected and broadens the information, including forecasted information incorporating more timely information,
that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured. These ASU’s are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Most of our financial assets are excluded from the requirements of this standard as they
are measured at fair value or are subject to other accounting standards. In addition, certain of our other financial assets are short-term
in nature and therefore are not likely to be subject to significant credit losses beyond what is already recorded under current accounting
standards. As a result, we currently do not anticipate this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements,
which amends FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. This ASU eliminates, modifies and adds various disclosure requirements
for fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. Certain disclosures are required to be applied using a retrospective approach and others using a prospective approach.
Early adoption is permitted. The various disclosure requirements being eliminated, modified or added are not significant to us. As a
result, we currently do not anticipate this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement
That is a Service Contract, which amends FASB ASC Subtopic 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. This
ASU adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements.
The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract
with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements
that include an internal-use software license). This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either using a retrospective or prospective approach.
Early adoption is permitted. We currently do not anticipate this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
In
August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) –
Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance
in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to
continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update provide such guidance. In doing
so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management
to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently
in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation
every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s
plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans,
(5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a
period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this update
are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We currently
do not anticipate this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting
Assets and Liabilities.” This ASU clarifies that the scope of ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures
about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements,
and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in
FASB Accounting Standards Codification or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The amendments in this ASU are
effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. We currently do not anticipate
this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The ASU adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated
other comprehensive income by component and their corresponding effect on net income. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2013. We currently do not anticipate this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
In
February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU No. 2013-04, “Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations
Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date.”
This ASU addresses the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of certain obligations resulting from joint and several arrangements
including debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings. The ASU is effective for public
entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We currently do not anticipate
this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative
Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in
a Foreign Entity.” This ASU addresses the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells a
part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets
that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. The guidance outlines the events when cumulative translation adjustments
should be released into net income and is intended by FASB to eliminate some disparity in current accounting practice. This ASU is effective
prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We currently do not anticipate
this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-07, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting.”
The amendments require an entity to prepare its financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting when liquidation is imminent.
Liquidation is imminent when the likelihood is remote that the entity will return from liquidation and either (a) a plan for liquidation
is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective and the likelihood is remote that the execution
of the plan will be blocked by other parties or (b) a plan for liquidation is being imposed by other forces (for example, involuntary
bankruptcy). If a plan for liquidation was specified in the entity’s governing documents from the entity’s inception (for
example, limited-life entities), the entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting only if the approved plan for liquidation
differs from the plan for liquidation that was specified at the entity’s inception. The amendments require financial statements
prepared using the liquidation basis of accounting to present relevant information about an entity’s expected resources in liquidation
by measuring and presenting assets at the amount of the expected cash proceeds from liquidation. The entity should include in its presentation
of assets any items it had not previously recognized under U.S. GAAP but that it expects to either sell in liquidation or use in settling
liabilities (for example, trademarks). The amendments are effective for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. We currently do not anticipate this standard
to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We
have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements. Management does not believe that any recently
issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting
pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.
NOTE
11. INVESTMENT SECURITIES (TRADING)
The
Company applied the fair value accounting treatment for trading securities per ASC 320, with unrealized gains and losses recorded in
net income each period. Debt securities classified as trading should be measured at fair value in the currency in which the debt securities
are denominated and remeasured into the investor’s functional currency using the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
Trading
securities are treated using the fair value method, whereby the value of the securities on the company’s balance sheet is equivalent
to their current market value. These securities will be recorded in the current assets section under the Investment Securities account
and will be offset in the shareholder’s equity section under the unrealized proceeds from sale of short-term investments”
account. The Short Term Investments account amount represents the current market value of the securities, and the “Unrealized Proceeds
From Sale of Short Term Investments” account represents the cash proceeds that the company would receive if it were to sell the
investments at the end of the specified accounting period.

Long
term Investment – related parties: At numerous times during the year 2021, the Company acquired long-term equity positions

consist of free-trading shares, and were capitalized at cost plus transaction cost, finance fees and other acquisition costs. As
at March 31, 2023, the Company has $1,769,760 as Long term Investments - related parties. However, following the spectacular collapse
of Silicon Valley Bank due to inflated valuation of assets on its book which had obviously decline in value beyond recoverability,
the Company made a business judgment call to mark those securities to the fair market value as at March 31, 2023. The mark-to-market
excise resulted in impairment charge of $1,316,434, which the Company acknowledged immediately because management believes that the
value of those held to maturity securities have been impaired beyond recoverability. |

NOTE
15. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
On
September 15, 2020, Video River Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a stock purchase agreement with certain corporation
related to our President and CEO with respect to the private placement of 900,000 shares of its preferred stock at a purchase price of
$3 in cash and a transfer of 100% interest in, and control of Community Economic Development Capital, LLC (a California Limited Liability
Company). The shares were issued to the investors without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 based upon exemptions from registration
provided under Section 4(2) of the Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The issuance did not involve any public offering; no
general solicitation or general advertising was used in connection with the offering. Community Economic Development Capital, is a specialty
real estate holding company for specialized assets including, affordable housing, opportunity zones properties, medical real estate investments,
industrial and commercial real estate, and other real estate related services.
Similarly,
on September 16, 2020, as part of its purchase of unregistered securities from certain corporation related to our President and CEO,
the Company, received $3.00 in cash and 1,000,000 shares of its preferred stock, and in exchange transferred 100% interest in, and control
of Community Economic Development Capital, LLC (“CED Capital”), a California Limited Liability Company, and 97% of the issued
and outstanding shares of Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. (“CBDX”), to GiveMePower Corporation, a Nevada corporation. This
transaction gave the Company 88% of the voting control of GiveMePower. As at the time of this transaction, all four businesses involved
in the transaction were controlled by Mr. Frank I Igwealor. Because both the buyer and seller in the
above acquisitions were under the control of the same person, the transaction was classified as “common control transaction and
therefore fall under “Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control” subsections
of ASC 805-50. This transaction was therefore accounted for under the Consolidation Method using the variable interest entity (VIE) model
wherein we consolidate all investees operating results if we expect to assume more than 50% of another entity’s expected losses
or gains.
On
April 21, 2021, the Company sold Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. (“CBDX”), a California corporation, to Premier Information
Management, Inc. for $1 in cash. As further consideration pursuant to the stated sales, CBDX returned Kid Castle Educational Inc., the
parent Company of GMPW, the 100,000 shares of KDCE preferred stock and 900,000,000 shares of KDCE common stock that CBDX bought in October
of 2019. Pursuant to the April 21, 2021 transaction, CBDX ceased from being a subsidiary of GMPW, effective April 1, 2021.
On
December 30, 2021, GMPW repurchased back from KDCE, the 1,000,000 GMPW preferred share, which controls 87% voting block of GMPW, held
by Kid Castle Educational Corporation, a subsidiary of Video River Networks, Inc. both of which are publicly traded companies with ticker
symbols KDCE and NIHK respectively. In exchange, GMPW delivered 100% control of one of its subsidiaries, Alpharidge Capital LLC (“Alpharidge”)
to KDCE. Alpharidge is now a direct subsidiary of KDCE, which is a direct subsidiary of Video River Networks, Inc.
