 Explanatory Note

 Restatement Background

 On March 21, 2024, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company, after discussion with the Company's management, concluded that the Company's audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and each of its interim periods ended March 31, 2022 through September 30, 2023 (the "Non-Reliance Periods") included in the associated Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q for each of the Non-Reliance Periods, filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), should no longer be relied upon because of material misstatements contained in those consolidated financial statements and should be restated. The Company's management and the Audit Committee discussed the matters with Frank, Rimerman + Co. LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm since November 3, 3023 and for the fiscal year 2023 through the current fiscal year, and with Armanino LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2022 and prior fiscal periods.

 As described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024, during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company identified certain prior period misstatements in relation to the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the Non-Reliance Periods.

 Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

 This Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as the relevant unaudited interim financial information for the quarterly Non-Reliance Periods. The Company has restated certain information within this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the relevant unaudited interim financial information for the quarterly Non-Reliance Periods. In addition to the restatement errors described below, the Company has corrected certain items that were concluded as immaterial, individually and in the aggregate, to the consolidated financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods.

 See Note 3 ("Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements"), in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for additional information on the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 See Note 17 ("Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited)"), in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for such restated information as of and for the quarterly Non-Reliance Periods.

 We have not filed and do not intend to file amendments to our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for any of the quarterly Non-Reliance Periods. Accordingly, investors should rely only on the restated consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included in this Annual Report for the applicable periods or in future filings with the SEC (as applicable), and not on any previously issued or filed reports, earnings releases or similar communications included the above referenced consolidated financial statements.

 Control Considerations

 As described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2024, in connection with the restatement, management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, the Company identified certain material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting resulting in the conclusion by the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that the internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023. Management is taking additional steps to remediate the material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting. See Item 9A, Controls and Procedures, for additional information related to these material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and the related remedial measures.

 The Streaming Video Market and Gaia

 Consumption of streaming video is expanding rapidly as more and more people augment their use of, or replace broadcast television with, streaming video to watch their favorite content on a growing array of digital streaming services. The streaming video market includes various free, ad-supported and subscription service offerings focused on various genres, including films, broadcast and original series, fitness and educational content.

 Gaia's position in the streaming video landscape is firmly supported by its wide variety of exclusive and unique content and lifestyle events, which provides a complementary offering to other, mostly entertainment-based, streaming video services. Our original content is developed and produced in-house in our lifestyle campus near Boulder, Colorado. Over 88% of our content is available for streaming exclusively on Gaia to most

 internet-connected devices. By offering exclusive and unique content over a streaming service, we believe we will be able to significantly expand our target member base. Gaia believes the current size of our potential target market can be defined as approximately 15% of internet users that currently pay for a subscription streaming video service.

 Competitive Strengths

 We believe that we differentiate ourselves from our competition and have been able to grow our business through the following demonstrated competitive strengths:

 Exclusive Content and Ubiquitous Access – We have amassed a library of unique content for which we hold exclusive worldwide streaming distribution rights and have established exclusive relationships with certain key talent in our areas of focus. Over 88% of our titles are available to our members for streaming on most internet-connected devices exclusively on Gaia.

 Proprietary and Curated Content – Proprietary and curated content lies at the core of our business model. Our media offerings introduce members to us and help establish Gaia as an authority in the conscious media market. Our in-house produced and owned content comprises approximately 75% of our members' viewing time. Our licensed content has initial terms ranging predominately from 3 to 10 years. With the growth in demand for digital rights, we expect that our large library of produced and acquired content combined with our internal production capabilities, live events and community will be a key driver in our ability to grow efficiently and act as a hedge against the rising costs of digital rights.

 International Rights – The strength of our proprietary content library created by our original content production strategy and our unique approach to content licensing have provided us with a library of niche content to which we hold exclusive worldwide distribution rights that we believe would be difficult to acquire in today's market. By obtaining these rights, we have created a meaningful barrier to entry for competitors in our content niches and have given ourselves the potential to reach a worldwide member base with no additional licensing costs. Over 98% of our titles are available worldwide.

 Unique Member Base – We believe that our unique and exclusive content allows us to cater to a member base that traditional media companies have mostly ignored. We believe this member base can be significantly expanded as more and more people enter our niche categories and begin accessing streaming content over the internet.

 Unique Content Strength – We believe that our unique focus, combined with our content exclusivity, positions us as a complementary service to larger streaming video providers who are primarily entertainment driven. In addition, this focus has allowed an opportunity for significant advantages:

 • Yoga— We continue to build on our yoga heritage by expanding the teachers and styles in our vast content library. We understand yoga is more than just a physical practice and have a variety of content focused on the lifestyle and philosophy of yoga, which helps set us apart from other yoga streaming providers.

 • Transformation— We bring a unique focus to an otherwise crowded field. This channel empowers members through programs about meditation to expand consciousness, develop and understand spirituality in a modern world, and includes other shows on conscious topics that puts Gaia in the center of a rapidly growing market.

 • Alternative Healing— We offer depth and breadth of content on emerging topics including neuroplasticity, alternative and integrative medicines, holistic healing and longevity. Included in this channel are hundreds of recipes to help our members put their new knowledge into practice in the kitchen.

 • Seeking Truth— We offer category-leading talent that enables us to draw the most popular and authentic speakers, authors and experts in the alternative media world.

 Growth Drivers

 Our core strategy is to grow our subscription business domestically and internationally using the following drivers:

 Investment in Streaming Content – We believe that our investment in streaming content leads to more awareness and viewership of our unique content. This leads to member acquisition and revenue growth, allowing us to invest more into our content library and enabling the growth cycle to continue. By investing in our in-house studios, digital asset management system and digital delivery platforms, we can produce and distribute new digital content at low incremental costs. With our end-to-end production capabilities and unique, exclusive relationships with thought leaders in our areas of focus, we believe we can develop content much more efficiently than our competitors.

 Continuous Service Improvements – We have found that incremental improvements in our service and quality enhance our member satisfaction and retention. We have built our platform to optimize the speed and performance of streaming video playback, provide a unique and customized site experience for every member and provide the foundation for our expansion into foreign languages. We continue to refine our technology, user interfaces, recommendation algorithms and delivery infrastructure to improve the member experience as the underlying technology continues to evolve.

 Overall Adoption and Growth of Internet TV on Every Screen – Domestically, cable TV members have been declining, while the demand for digital content services accessible on various devices has continued to grow. Gaia is accessible on a broad array of devices, including, but not limited to: Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, Android devices, Roku, Amazon Fire, select smart TVs, and Chromecast. Through this accessibility, we believe that we enhance the value of our service to members as well as position ourselves for continued growth as internet and mobile delivery of content continues to become the preferred method for more consumers globally.

 International Market Expansion – We believe the international streaming segment represents a significant long-term growth opportunity as people around the world begin to adopt the viewing behaviors of the U.S. market. Our exclusive worldwide streaming rights have allowed us to expand internationally by adding foreign language support to our service without having to invest in local foreign operations. Today, approximately 43% of our members are outside of the United States.

 Events+ Premium Membership and GaiaSphere – In 2019, we held our inaugural event at the GaiaSphere, a 300-person live event studio located on our campus in Colorado. With the opening of the GaiaSphere, we also launched the Events+ premium annual membership to allow for digital access to these exclusive events via live streaming and on demand. Through GaiaSphere and the Events+ premium offering, we have expanded our reach to a larger audience of talent that will contribute to our content library, as well as drive incremental revenue growth. Our Events+ offering consists of on-demand access to past events and the ability to participate via live streaming while events are happening.

 Member Driven Growth Enablement – We believe the empowerment of our existing members to drive awareness of and interest in Gaia will be a key driver of future growth and engagement of the Gaia global community. To support this awareness, we allow existing members the ability to share Gaia content with their connections free of charge over a limited time window. This product feature allows us to leverage our existing members' desire to share our content to ultimately drive more interest and awareness, which will lead to member growth that is not wholly dependent on marketing expenditures.

 Complement our Existing Business with Selective Strategic Acquisitions – Our growth strategy is not dependent on acquisitions. However, we will consider strategic acquisitions that complement our existing business, increase our content library, expand our geographical reach and add to our member base. When evaluating potential acquisitions, we focus on companies with unique media content, a strong brand identity and members that augment our existing member base.

 Marketing

 We build awareness and demand for the Gaia brand through various channels focusing on mobile and video. Organic search, paid search, digital and social media, email marketing, ambassador marketing, as well as various strategic partnerships make up our continually optimized portfolio of member acquisition and retention tools. Rejoining members are an important source of member additions, many of which come back to Gaia after receiving special communications via email or seeing our digital advertising for new content.

 History

 Incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on July 7, 1988, Gaia started as a conscious media and products company distributing conscious and non-theatrical media.

 In October 2012, we launched our streaming video service and focused our efforts on growing domestically and internationally by expanding our streaming content, enhancing our user interface and extending our streaming content to even more internet-connected devices. In 2016, we divested all of our product businesses and focused on scaling our streaming video service and community. Since then we have launched Spanish, German and French language offerings. We have continued to invest in our international offerings, including original programming in these languages.

 In 2019, we further expanded the alternative healing content available to our members and expanded our presence and member base in this growing area of interest through our acquisition of Food Matters TV.

 These investments in our subscription business have been instrumental in our ability to grow by expanding our streaming video on demand capabilities and increasing our library of unique content of transformational media, intended to awaken and inspire viewers around the world.

 Business Segments

 We operate in a single reporting segment. Our revenues are primarily derived from subscription fees for services related to streaming content to our members. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Segment Information, and Note 16, Segment Information and Geographic Information, in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements for further detail.

 Regulatory Matters

 The media landscape and the internet delivery of content have seen growing regulatory action. Historically, media has been highly regulated in many countries. We are seeing some of these legacy regulatory frameworks be updated and expanded to address services like ours. In particular, we are seeing some countries update their cultural support legislation to include services like Gaia. This includes content quotas, levies and investment obligations. In certain countries, regulators are also looking at restrictions that could require formal reviews of and/or adjustments to content that appears on our service in their country. In general these regulations impact all services and may make operating in certain jurisdictions more expensive or restrictive as to the content offering we may provide.

 Competition

 While our content offering is unique, the market for subscription-based content delivered over the internet is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. Many consumers maintain simultaneous relationships with multiple providers and can easily shift spending from one provider to another. We are a focused provider within the streaming video market that is able to compete by providing exclusive content available on almost any device. Our principal competitors vary by world geographic region and include multichannel video programming distributors and internet-based movie and TV content providers, including those that provide legal and illegal (pirated) streaming video content and various communities. We believe that due to the exclusivity of our content, we are positioning ourselves as a complementary service to large general content providers such as television broadcasters, cable television channels, and an array of other entertainment based streaming services, including those that have recently launched.

 Seasonality

 Our member base reflects seasonal variations driven primarily by periods when consumers typically spend more time indoors and, as a result, tend to increase their viewing, similar to those of traditional TV and cable networks. We have generally experienced the greatest member growth in the fourth and first quarters (October through February), and slowest during May through August. This drives quarterly variations in our spending on member acquisition efforts and the number of net new subscribers we add each quarter but does not result in a corresponding seasonality in net revenue. As we continue to expand internationally, we expect regional seasonality trends to demonstrate more predictable seasonal patterns as our service offering in each market becomes more established and we have a longer history to assess such patterns.

 Human Capital

 We view our employees and our culture as keys to our success. As of February 29, 2024, Gaia had approximately 109 full time employees, all of which are located in the United States. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We supplement our full-time employees, with services provided by staffing organizations in other countries to support our customer service, content production and software engineering needs. We believe a critical component of our success is our company culture, which begins with focusing our hiring on our current member base. The majority of our current employees came to work at Gaia after discovering our content offering and have become passionate team members that continue to help expand the impact of our mission globally.

 Intellectual Property and Other Proprietary Rights

 We regard our trademarks, service marks, copyrights, domain names, trade secrets, proprietary technologies and similar intellectual property as important to our success. We use a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws and confidentiality agreements to protect our proprietary intellectual property. Our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights is subject to certain risks, and from time to time we encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. We cannot provide assurance that we will prevail in any intellectual property disputes.

 Website and Available Information

 Our corporate website www.gaia.com provides information about us, our history, goals and philosophy, as well as certain financial reports and corporate press releases. Our www.gaia.com website also features a library of information and articles on personal development and healthy lifestyles, along with an extensive offering of video content. We believe our website provides us with an opportunity to deepen our relationships with our members and investors, educate them on a variety of issues, and improve our service. As part of this commitment, we have a link on our corporate website to our Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including our reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and amendments thereto. We make those reports available through our website, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after these reports are filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 We have included our website address only as inactive textual reference, and the information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K.

 Item 1A. Risk Factors

 We caution that there are risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different from those indicated by forward looking statements that we make from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, news releases, reports, communications to shareholders and other written and oral communications. These risks and uncertainties include those risks described below of which we are presently aware. Historical results are not necessarily an indication of future results. The risk factors below discuss important factors that could cause our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows to be materially adversely affected.

 Risks Related to our Business and Industry

 If our efforts to attract and retain members are not successful, our business will be adversely affected.

 We have experienced significant member growth since we began our digital subscription business in 2013. Our ability to continue to attract members will depend in part on our ability to consistently provide our members with a valuable and quality streaming experience. Furthermore, the relative service levels, content offerings, pricing and related features of our competitors may adversely impact our ability to attract and retain members. We compete for screen viewing time with multichannel video programming distributors providing free-on-demand content through authenticated internet applications, internet-based movie and TV content providers, including both those that provide legal and illegal (or pirated) streaming video content, and streaming video retail stores, video game providers, as well as user-generated content and, more broadly, other sources of entertainment among others. If consumers do not perceive our service offering to be of value, or if we introduce new or adjust existing features or change the mix of content in a manner that is not favorably received by them, we may not be able to attract and retain members. Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, may also adversely impact our ability to attract and retain members.

 In addition, many of our members originate from word-of-mouth advertising from existing members. If our efforts to satisfy our existing members are not successful, we may not be able to attract new members, and as a result, our ability to maintain and/or grow our business will be adversely affected. Members cancel our service for many reasons, including a perception that they do not use the service sufficiently, the need to cut household expenses, unsatisfactory availability of content, competitive services providing a better value or experience and customer service issues not satisfactorily resolved. We must continually add new members both to replace members who cancel and to grow our business beyond our current member base. If too many of our members cancel our service, or if we are unable to attract new members in numbers sufficient to sustain and grow our business, our operating results will be adversely affected. If we are unable to successfully compete with current and new competitors in both retaining our existing members and attracting new members, our business will be adversely affected. Further, if excessive numbers of members cancel our service, we may be required to incur significantly higher marketing expenditures than we currently anticipate in order to replace these members with new members.

 If we are unable to compete effectively, our business will be adversely affected.

 The market for streaming content is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. New technologies and evolving business models for delivery of streaming content continue to develop at a fast pace. Through new and existing distribution channels, consumers are afforded various means for consuming streaming content. The various economic models underlying these differing means of streaming content delivery include subscription, transactional, ad-supported and piracy-based models. All of these have the potential to capture meaningful segments of the streaming content market. Several competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, and stronger brand recognition than we do and have significant financial, marketing and other resources. They may secure better terms from suppliers, adopt more aggressive pricing and devote more resources to technology and marketing. New entrants may enter the market with unique service offerings or approaches to providing streaming content and other companies also may enter into business combinations or alliances that strengthen their competitive positions. In addition, new technological developments, including the development and use of generative artificial intelligence, are rapidly evolving. If we are unable to successfully compete with current and new competitors, programs and technologies, our business will be adversely affected, and we may not be able to increase market share and revenues, and achieve profitability.

 We have had operating losses, and we cannot assure future profitability.

 We reported net loss of $5.6 million in 2023 compared to net loss of $3.6 million in 2022. Additionally, we reported net losses during several prior years as a result of continued investment in member acquisition efforts to drive revenue growth. No assurance can be made that we will operate profitably in future periods and, if we do not, we may not be able to meet any future debt service requirements, working capital requirements, capital expenditure plans, production slate, acquisition plans or other cash needs. Our inability to meet those needs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.

 If we are not able to manage change and growth, our business could be adversely affected.

 We are expanding our operations internationally, scaling our streaming service to effectively and reliably handle anticipated growth in both members and features related to our service. As we expand internationally, we are managing our business to address varied content offerings, consumer customs and practices, in particular those dealing with e-commerce and internet video, as well as differing legal and regulatory environments. As we scale our streaming service, we are developing technology and utilizing third-party internet-based or "cloud" computing services. If we are not able to manage the growing complexity of our business, including improving, refining or revising our systems and operational practices related to our streaming operations, our business could be adversely affected.

 If our efforts to build unique brand identity and improve member satisfaction and loyalty are not successful, we may not be able to attract or retain members, and our operating results may be adversely affected.

 We must continue to build and maintain a unique brand identity. We believe that a unique brand identity will be important in attracting and retaining members who have a number of choices from which to obtain streaming content. To build a unique brand identity, we believe we must continue to offer content and service features that our members value and enjoy. We also believe that these must be coupled with effective consumer communications, such as marketing, customer service and public relations. If our efforts to promote and maintain our brand identity are not successful, our ability to attract and retain members may be adversely affected. Such a result may adversely affect our operating results.

 With respect to our expansion into international markets, we will also need to establish our brand identity in new markets and languages, and to the extent we are not successful, our business in new markets may be adversely impacted.

 Changes in our member acquisition sources could adversely affect our marketing expenses and member levels may be adversely affected.

 We utilize a broad mix of marketing and public relations programs, including social media websites such as Facebook and YouTube, to promote our service to potential new members. We may limit or discontinue use or support of certain marketing sources or activities if advertising rates increase or if we become concerned that members or potential members deem certain marketing practices intrusive or damaging to our brand. If available marketing channels are limited or curtailed, our ability to attract new members may be adversely affected.

 Companies that currently promote our services may cease promoting our services, may determine to compete more directly with our business or enter a similar business, or may decide to exclusively support our competitors. If we no longer have access to such marketing channels, our marketing efforts may be adversely affected. If we are unable to maintain or replace our sources of members with similarly effective sources, or if the cost of our existing sources increases, our member levels and marketing expenses may be adversely affected.

 We face risks, such as unforeseen costs and potential liabilities in connection with content we produce, license and/or distribute through our service.

 As a producer and distributor of content, we face potential liability for defamation, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, misinformation, personal injury torts or other claims based on the nature and content of materials that we produce, license and/or distribute. We also face potential liability for content used in promoting our service, including marketing materials and features on our platform such as member reviews. Allegations of impropriety, even if unfounded, could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and our business.

 We are responsible for production costs and other expenses related to our original content. We also take on risks associated with this production, such as completion and key talent risk. To the extent we do not accurately anticipate costs or mitigate risks, or if we become liable for content we produce, license and/or distribute, our business may suffer. Litigation to defend these claims could be costly and the expenses and damages arising from any liability or unforeseen production risks could harm our results of operations. We may not be indemnified to cover claims or costs of these types and we may not have insurance coverage for these types of claims.

 Problematic content accessed through our service, including content that violates our content guidelines or the content guidelines of our partners, could damage our reputation and hurt our ability to retain and expand our base of members and partners.

 Our ability to maintain and protect our brand depends, in part, on our ability to maintain the quality and integrity of the content and other information accessed through our streaming service. While we undertake efforts to detect and prevent problematic content and to ensure our content complies with our content guidelines and the content guidelines of our third-party partners, no assurance can be given that such efforts will be error-free.

 If we fail to either detect and prevent problematic content or effectively promote high-quality content, it could hurt our reputation and confidence in our brand, thereby negatively affecting the use of our service and our financial performance. In addition, our partners may refuse to carry the Gaia "app" on their platform if our content violates their content guidelines. Problematic content accessed through our service may also subject us to media, legal or regulatory scrutiny, which could adversely affect our reputation and brand.

 If we fail to maintain a positive reputation concerning our service and the content we offer, we may not be able to attract or retain members, we may face regulatory scrutiny and our operating results may be adversely affected.

 We believe that a positive reputation concerning our service is important in attracting and retaining members. To the extent our content, in particular, our original programming, is perceived as low quality, offensive or otherwise not compelling to consumers, our ability to establish and maintain a positive reputation may be adversely impacted. To the extent our content is deemed controversial or offensive by government regulators, we may face direct or indirect retaliatory action or behavior, including being required to remove such content from our service, our entire service

 could be banned and/or become subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny across our business and operations. We could also face boycotts which could adversely affect our business. Furthermore, to the extent our response to government action or our marketing, customer service and public relations efforts are not effective or result in negative reaction, our ability to establish and maintain a positive reputation may likewise be adversely impacted. There is an increasing focus from regulators, investors, members and other stakeholders on environmental, social and governance ("ESG") matters, both in the United States and internationally. To the extent the content we distribute and the manner in which we produce content creates ESG related concerns, our reputation may be harmed.

 Increases in payment processing fees, changes to operating rules, the acceptance of new types of payment methods or payment fraud could increase our operating expenses and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 Our members pay for our services predominately using credit and debit cards. Our acceptance of these payment methods requires our payment of certain fees. From time to time, these fees may increase, either as a result of rate changes by the payment processing companies or as a result of a change in our business practices which increase the fees on a cost-per-transaction basis. Such increases may adversely affect our results of operations.

 We are subject to rules, regulations and practices governing our accepted payment methods. These rules, regulations and practices could change or be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply. If we fail to comply with these rules or requirements, we may be subject to fines and higher transaction fees and lose our ability to accept these payment methods, and our business and results of operations would be adversely affected.

 We accept payment methods other than credit and debit cards. As our service continues to evolve and expand internationally, we will likely continue to explore accepting various forms of payment, which may have higher fees and costs than our currently accepted payment methods. If more consumers utilize higher cost payment methods our payment costs could increase and our results of operations could be adversely impacted.

 In addition, we do not obtain signatures from members in connection with their use of payment methods. To the extent we do not obtain members' signatures, we may be liable for fraudulent payment transactions, even when the associated financial institution approves payment of the orders. From time to time, fraudulent payment methods are used to obtain service. While we do have safeguards in place, we nonetheless experience some fraudulent transactions. We do not currently carry insurance against the risk of fraudulent payment transactions. A failure to adequately control fraudulent payment transactions would harm our business and results of operations.

 We rely upon a number of partners to offer instant streaming of content to various devices.

 We currently offer members the ability to receive streaming content through a host of internet-connected devices, including internet-enabled TVs, digital video players and mobile devices. We intend to continue to broaden our capability to instantly stream content to other platforms over time. If we are not successful in maintaining existing relationships and creating new ones, or if we encounter technological, content licensing or other impediments to our streaming content, our ability to grow our business could be adversely impacted.

 We have agreements with third party partners, pursuant to which each makes available an "app" for viewing our content on its platform. Our agreements with our partners are typically between one and three years in duration and our business could be adversely affected if, upon expiration, our partners do not continue to provide access to our service or are unwilling to do so on terms acceptable to us, which terms may include the degree of accessibility and prominence of our service. We may be further harmed if these partners decide to remove our apps from their respective platforms for any other reason at any time.

 Furthermore, the devices consumers use to access our content are manufactured and sold by entities other than Gaia and the devices' performance and the connection between these devices and our service may result in consumer dissatisfaction that could result in claims against us or otherwise adversely impact our business. In addition, technology changes to our streaming functionality may require that partners update their devices. If partners do not update or otherwise modify their devices, our service and our members' use and enjoyment could be negatively impacted.

 We may face quarterly and seasonal fluctuations that could harm our business.

 Our revenues and results of operations have fluctuated in the past, and will likely continue to fluctuate, on a quarterly basis. Such fluctuation is the result of a seasonal pattern that reflects variations when consumers are typically spending more time indoors and, as a result, tend to increase their viewing, similar to those of general video streaming services. We have generally experienced the greatest member growth in the fourth and first quarters (October through February), and slowest during May through August. This drives quarterly variations in our spending on member acquisition efforts and the number of net new subscribers we add each quarter but does not result in a corresponding seasonality in net revenue. As we continue to expand internationally, we also expect regional seasonality trends to demonstrate more predictable seasonal patterns as our service offering in each market becomes more established and we have a longer history to assess such patterns.

 Acquisitions and new initiatives may harm our financial results.

 We have historically expanded our operations in part through strategic acquisitions and through new initiatives that we generate. We cannot accurately predict the timing, size and success of these efforts. Our acquisition and new initiative strategies involve significant risks that could inhibit our growth and negatively impact our operating results, including the following: our ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates or new initiatives at acceptable prices; our ability to complete the acquisitions of candidates that we identify or develop our new initiatives; our ability to compete effectively for available acquisition opportunities; increases in asking prices by acquisition candidates to levels beyond our financial capability or to levels that would not result in the returns required by our acquisition criteria; diversion of management's attention to expansion efforts; unanticipated costs and contingent liabilities associated with acquisitions and new initiatives; failure of acquired businesses or new initiatives to achieve expected results; our failure to retain key customers or personnel of acquired businesses and difficulties entering markets in which we have no or limited experience. In addition, the size, timing and success of any future acquisitions and new initiatives may cause substantial fluctuations in our operating results from quarter to quarter. Consequently, our operating results for any quarter may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for any subsequent quarter or for a full fiscal year. These fluctuations could adversely affect our results.

 Risks Related to Information Technology and Privacy

 We could be harmed by data loss or other security breaches.

 As a result of our services being internet-based and the fact that we process, store, and transmit data, including personal information, for our members, failure to prevent or mitigate data loss or other security breaches, including breaches of our suppliers' technology and systems, could expose us or our members to a risk of loss or misuse of such information, adversely affect our operating results, result in litigation or potential liability for us, and otherwise harm our business. We use third-party technology and systems for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, encryption and authentication technology, employee email, content delivery to members, back-office support, and other functions. Although we have implemented systems and processes that are designed to protect member information and prevent data loss and other security breaches, including systems and processes designed to reduce the impact of a security breach at a third-party supplier, such measures cannot provide absolute security.

 Any significant disruption in our network or information systems or those of third parties that we utilize in our operations could result in a loss or degradation of service and could adversely impact our business.

 Our reputation and ability to attract, retain and serve our members is dependent upon the reliable performance of our network and information systems and those of third parties that we utilize in our operations. We experience occasional system interruptions and delays that make our websites and services unavailable or slow to respond and prevent us from efficiently providing services to our members, which may reduce the attractiveness of our services. If we are unable to effectively upgrade our systems and network infrastructure, and take other steps to improve the efficiency of our systems, we could face system interruptions or delays that may adversely affect our operating results.

 Our systems may be subject to damage or interruption from adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, public health issues such as pandemics or epidemics, national or international conflicts, including war, civil disturbances and terrorist attacks, rogue employees, power loss, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, computer denial of service attacks, or other attempts to harm these systems. Interruptions in these systems, or to the internet in general, could make our service unavailable or degraded or otherwise hinder our ability to deliver content to our members. Service interruptions, errors in our software or the unavailability of network or information systems used in our operations could diminish the overall attractiveness of our membership service to existing and potential members.

 We utilize third-party internet-based or "cloud" computing services in our business operations. We also utilize third-party content delivery networks to help us stream content in high volume to our members over the internet. Problems with these systems faced by us or our service providers, including technological or business-related disruptions, could adversely impact the experience of our members.

 Any significant disruption in or unauthorized access to our network or information systems or those of third parties that we utilize in our operations arising from cyber-attacks could result in a loss or degradation of service, unauthorized disclosure of data (including member and corporate information), or theft of intellectual property, including digital content assets, which could adversely impact our business.

 Our network and information systems and those of third parties we use in our operations are vulnerable to cybersecurity threats, including cyber-attacks such as computer viruses, denial of service attacks, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions. These systems may experience directed attacks intended to lead to interruptions and delays in our service and operations as well as loss, misuse or theft of data or confidential information. Additionally, outside parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees or users to disclose sensitive or confidential information in order to gain access to data. Any successful attempt by hackers to obtain our data (including members and corporate information) or intellectual property (including digital content assets), disrupt our service, or otherwise access our systems (or those of third parties we use), could harm our business, be expensive to remedy and damage our reputation. We have implemented certain systems and processes to thwart hackers and protect our data and systems, but techniques used to gain unauthorized access to data and software are constantly evolving, and we may be unable to anticipate or prevent unauthorized access. To date hackers have not had a material impact on our service or systems, although a risk remains that hackers may be successful in the future. Our insurance does not cover expenses related to such disruptions or unauthorized access. Efforts to prevent hackers from disrupting our service or otherwise accessing our systems are expensive to develop, implement and maintain. These efforts require ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become more sophisticated and may limit the functionality of or otherwise negatively impact our service offering and systems. Any significant disruption to our service or access to our systems could result in a loss of members and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Further, a penetration of our systems or a third party's systems or other misappropriation or misuse of personal information could subject us to business, regulatory, litigation and reputation risk, which could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 Our reputation and relationships with members would be harmed if our member data, particularly payment data, were to be accessed by unauthorized persons.

 We maintain personal data regarding our members, including names and payment data. This data is maintained on our own systems as well as that of third parties we use in our operations. With respect to payment data, such as credit and debit card numbers, we rely on licensed encryption and authentication technology to secure such information. We take measures to protect against unauthorized intrusion into our members' data. Despite these measures, our payment processing services or other third-party services we use, could experience an unauthorized intrusion into our members' data. In the event of such a breach, current and potential members may become unwilling to provide the information to us necessary for them to remain or become members. We may also be required to notify regulators about any actual or perceived data breach (including the EU Lead Data Protection Authority) as well as the individuals who are affected by the incident within strict time periods. Additionally, we could face legal claims or regulatory fines or penalties for such a breach. The costs relating to any data breach could be material, and we currently do not carry insurance against the risk of a data breach. For these reasons, should an unauthorized intrusion into our members' data occur, our business could be adversely affected.

 We rely on proprietary technology to stream content and to manage other aspects of our operations, and the failure of this technology to operate effectively could adversely affect our business.

 We continually enhance or modify the technology used for our operations. We cannot be sure that any enhancements or other modifications we make to our operations will achieve the intended results or otherwise be of value to our members. Future enhancements and modifications to our technology could consume considerable resources. If we are unable to maintain and enhance our technology to manage the streaming of content to our members in a timely and efficient manner, or if our technology, or that of third parties we utilize in our operations, fails or otherwise operates improperly, our ability to retain existing members and to add new members may be impaired. Also, any harm to our members' personal computers or other devices caused by software used in our operations could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 Changes in how network operators handle and charge for access to data that travel across their networks could adversely impact our business.

 We rely upon the ability of consumers to access our service through the internet. To the extent that network operators implement usage-based pricing, including meaningful bandwidth caps, or otherwise try to monetize access to their networks by data providers, we could incur greater operating expenses and our member acquisition and retention could be negatively impacted. Furthermore, to the extent network operators were to create tiers of internet access service and either charge us for, or prohibit us from, being available through these tiers, our business could be negatively impacted.

 Our online activities are subject to a variety of laws and regulations relating to privacy which, if violated, could subject us to an increased risk of litigation and regulatory actions.

 In addition to our websites and applications, we use third-party applications, websites, and social media platforms to promote our service and engage consumers, as well as monitor and collect certain information about users of our service. There are a variety of laws and regulations governing individual privacy and the protection and use of information collected from such individuals, particularly in relation to an individual's personally identifiable information (e.g., credit card numbers). Many foreign countries have adopted similar laws governing individual privacy, some of which are more restrictive than similar U.S. laws. If our online activities were to violate any applicable current or future laws and regulations, we could be subject to litigation and regulatory actions, including fines and other penalties.

 Risks Related to Intellectual Property

 If our trademarks and other proprietary rights are not adequately protected to prevent unauthorized use or appropriation, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished, and our business may be adversely affected.

 We rely and expect to continue to rely on a combination of confidentiality and license agreements with our employees, consultants and third parties with whom we have relationships, as well as trademark, copyright and trade secret protection laws, to protect our proprietary rights. We may also seek to enforce our proprietary rights through court proceedings. We may file trademark applications from time to time. These applications may not be approved, third parties may challenge any trademarks issued to or held by us, third parties may knowingly or unknowingly infringe our trademarks and other proprietary rights, and we may not be able to prevent infringement or misappropriation without substantial expense to us.

 We currently hold various domain names, including www.gaia.com and www.gaiamtv.com. Failure to protect our domain names could adversely affect our reputation and make it more difficult for users to find our website and our service. We may be unable, without significant cost or at all, to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that are similar to, infringe upon or otherwise decrease the value of our trademarks and other proprietary rights.

 Intellectual property claims against us could be costly and result in the loss of significant rights related to, among other things, our website, title selection processes, content and marketing activities.

 Our intellectual property rights extend to our technology, business processes and the content on our website. We use the intellectual property of third parties in marketing and providing our services through contractual and other rights. From time to time, third parties may allege that we have violated their intellectual property rights. If we are unable to obtain sufficient rights, successfully defend our use, or develop non-infringing technology and content or otherwise alter our business practices on a timely basis in response to claims of infringement, misappropriation, misuse or other violation of third-party intellectual property rights, our business and competitive position may be adversely affected.

 Many companies devote significant resources to developing patents that could potentially affect many aspects of our business. There are numerous patents that broadly claim means and methods of conducting business on the internet. We have not searched patents relative to our technology. Defending ourselves against intellectual property claims, whether they are with or without merit or are determined in our favor, will result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel. Infringement claims also may result in our inability to use our current website, streaming technology, our recommendation and personalization technology or inability to market our service. As a result of disputes, we may have to develop non-infringing technology, enter into royalty or licensing agreements, adjust our merchandising or marketing activities or take other actions to resolve the claims. These actions, if required, may be costly or unavailable on terms acceptable to us.

 Piracy of video, including digital and internet piracy, could adversely affect our business.

 Video piracy is extensive in many parts of the world and has been made easier by technological advances and the conversion of video into digital formats. These trends facilitate the creation, transmission and sharing of high-quality unauthorized copies of content on DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and the internet. We may have to implement elaborate and costly security and anti-piracy measures, which could result in significant expenses and losses of revenue. We cannot provide absolute assurance that security and anti-piracy measures will prevent the piracy of our content. The proliferation of unauthorized copies of our content could have an adverse effect on our business, by reducing the revenues we receive from our subscription service.

 Risks Related to Litigation, Regulatory Proceedings and Government Regulation

 We may be subject to litigation or regulatory proceedings that could cause us to incur substantial losses.

 From time to time during the normal course of operating our businesses, we are subject to various litigation claims, regulatory proceedings and legal disputes. Some of these matters may not be covered under our insurance policies, or our insurance carriers may seek to deny coverage. As a result, we might be required to incur significant legal fees, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial position. In addition, because we cannot accurately predict the outcome of any dispute, it is possible that, as a result of current and/or future matters, we will be subject to adverse judgments or settlements that could significantly reduce our earnings or result in losses.

 If government regulations relating to the internet or other areas of our business change, we may need to alter the manner in which we conduct our business or incur greater operating expenses.

 The adoption or modification of laws or regulations relating to the internet or other areas of our business could limit or otherwise adversely affect the manner in which we currently conduct our business. In addition, the continued growth and development of the market for online commerce may lead to more stringent consumer protection laws, which may impose additional burdens on us. If we are required to comply with new regulations or legislation or new interpretations of existing regulations or legislation, this compliance could cause us to incur additional expenses or alter our business model.

 The adoption or modification of any laws or regulations that adversely affect the growth, popularity or use of the internet, including laws impacting internet neutrality, could decrease the demand for our service and increase our cost of doing business. For example, as a result of the repeal of internet neutrality regulations in the United States,

 broadband internet access providers may be able to charge web-based services such as ours for priority access to members, which could result in increased costs and a loss of existing users, impairment of our ability to attract new users, and material adverse effects on our business and opportunities for growth. Additionally, as we expand internationally, government regulation concerning the internet, and in particular, network neutrality, may be nascent or non-existent. Within such a regulatory environment, coupled with potentially significant political and economic power of local network operators, we could experience discriminatory or anti-competitive practices that could impede our growth, cause us to incur additional expense or otherwise negatively affect our business.

 Risks Related to our Material Weakness and Restatements

 We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and those weaknesses have led to a conclusion that our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023. Our inability to remediate the material weaknesses, our discovery of additional weaknesses, and our inability to achieve and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, could adversely affect our results of operations, our stock price and investor confidence in our company.

 Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that companies evaluate and report on the effectiveness of their internal control over financial reporting. As disclosed in more detail under Item 9A, "Controls and Procedures" below, we have identified material weaknesses as of December 31, 2023 in our internal control over financial reporting. Due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we have also concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023.

 Failure to have effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures can impair our ability to produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis and has led and could again lead to a restatement of our financial statements. For example, the identified material weaknesses resulted in material adjustments to the consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2022, and each of the interim periods ended March 31, 2022 through September 30, 2023. If, as a result of the ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, we cannot provide reliable financial statements, our business decision processes may be adversely affected, our business and results of operations could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information and our ability to obtain additional financing, or additional financing on favorable terms, could be adversely affected.

 Our management has taken action to begin remediating the material weaknesses; however, certain remedial actions have not started or have only recently been undertaken, and while we expect to continue to implement our remediation plans throughout the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, we cannot be certain as to when remediation will be fully completed. Additional details regarding the initial remediation efforts are disclosed in more detail in Part II, Item 9A, "Controls and Procedures" below. In addition, we could in the future identify additional internal control deficiencies that could rise to the level of a material weakness or uncover other errors in financial reporting. During the course of our evaluation, we may identify areas requiring improvement and may be required to design additional enhanced processes and controls to address issues identified through this review. In addition, there can be no assurance that such remediation efforts will be successful, that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective as a result of these efforts or that any such future deficiencies identified may not be material weaknesses that would be required to be reported in future periods.

 If we fail to remediate these material weaknesses and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to rely on the integrity of our financial results, which could result in inaccurate or additional late reporting of our financial results, as well as delays or the inability to meet our future reporting obligations or to comply with SEC rules and regulations. This could result in claims or proceedings against us, including by shareholders or the SEC. The defense of any such claims could cause the diversion of the Company's attention and resources and could cause us to incur significant legal and other expenses even if the matters are resolved in our favor.

 We reached a determination to restate certain of our previously issued consolidated financial statements, which resulted in unanticipated costs and may affect investor confidence and raise reputational issues.

 As discussed in Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," we reached a determination to restate our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2022, and each of the interim periods ended March 31, 2022 through September 30, 2023. The restatement also included other immaterial adjustments to historical periods. As a result, we have incurred unanticipated costs for accounting and legal fees in connection with or related to the restatement, and have become subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, which may affect investor confidence in the accuracy of our financial disclosures and may raise reputational issues for our business.

 Risks Related to International Operations

 We could be subject to economic, political, regulatory and other risks arising from international operations.

 Operating in international markets requires significant resources and management attention and will subject us to regulatory, economic and political risks that may be different from and incremental to those in the United States. In addition to the risks that we face in the United States, our international operations may involve risks that could adversely affect our business, including the following: the need to adapt our content and user interfaces for specific cultural and language differences, including licensing a certain portion of our content library before we have developed a full appreciation for its performance within a given territory; difficulties and costs associated with staffing and managing foreign operations; management distraction; international conflicts, including war, civil disturbances and terrorist attacks; political or social unrest and economic instability; public health issues such as pandemics or epidemics; compliance with U.S. laws, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, export controls and economic sanctions, and local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials; unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; less favorable foreign intellectual property laws; adverse tax consequences such as those related to repatriation of cash from foreign jurisdictions into the United States, non-income related taxes, changes in tax laws or their interpretations, or the application of judgment in determining our global provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities given inter-company transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain; fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could impact revenues and expenses of our international operations and expose us to foreign currency exchange rate risk; profit repatriation and other restrictions on the transfer of funds; differing payment processing systems as well as consumer use and acceptance of electronic payment methods, such as credit and debit cards; new and different sources of competition; different and more stringent user protection, data protection, privacy and other laws; and availability of reliable broadband connectivity and wide area networks in targeted areas for expansion.

 Our failure to manage any of these risks successfully could harm our international operations and our overall business, and results of our operations.

 We must comply with indirect tax laws in multiple jurisdictions. Taxing authorities have in the past and may successfully in the future assert that we should have collected or in the future should collect non-income related taxes, and we could be subject to liability with respect to past or future sales, which could adversely affect our business. Our operations are routinely subject to audit by tax authorities in various countries. Many countries have indirect tax systems where the sale and purchase of goods and services are subject to tax based on the transaction value. Several taxing jurisdictions have presented or threatened us with assessments, alleging that we are required to collect and remit certain taxes there. While we believe we are in compliance with local laws, we cannot assure that tax and customs authorities will agree with our reporting positions and upon audit, such tax and customs authorities may assess additional taxes, duties, interest, and penalties against us. We also expect additional jurisdictions may make similar assessments or pass similar new laws in the future, and any of the jurisdictions where we have sales may apply more rigorous enforcement efforts or take more aggressive positions in the future that could result in greater tax liability allegations. Such tax assessments, penalties and interest or future requirements by any government agencies related to indirect tax laws could harm our international operations and our overall business, and results of our operations.

 Risks Related to Liquidity

 We may seek additional capital that may result in shareholder dilution or that may have rights senior to those of our common shareholders.

 From time to time, we may seek to obtain additional capital, either through equity, equity-linked or debt securities. Our cash flows provided by our operating activities have been positive since 2020. To the extent we are unable to maintain positive cash flows from operations, we may seek additional capital. The decision to obtain additional capital will depend on, among other things, our business plans, operating performance and condition of the capital markets. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, our shareholders may experience dilution, and such securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock. Any large equity or equity-linked offering could also negatively impact our stock price.

 Risks Related to Human Resources

 We may lose key employees or may be unable to hire qualified employees.

 We rely on the continued service and performance of our senior management. In our industry, there is substantial and continuous competition for highly skilled business, product development, technical and other personnel. Hiring qualified management is difficult due to the limited number of qualified professionals in our industry. Failure to recruit, attract and retain personnel, particularly management personnel, could materially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock

 Our founder and chairman, Jirka Rysavy, has voting control over us.

 Mr. Rysavy holds 100% of our 5,400,000 outstanding shares of Class B common stock and also owns 575,061 shares of Class A common stock. The shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at any time. Each share of Class B common stock has ten votes per share, and each share of Class A common stock has one vote per share. Consequently, Mr. Rysavy holds approximately 76% of our voting stock and is able to exert substantial influence over and control matters requiring approval by shareholders, including the election of directors, increasing our authorized capital stock, or a merger or sale of substantially all of our assets. As a result of Mr. Rysavy's control of us, no change of control can occur without Mr. Rysavy's consent.

 Our business is subject to reporting requirements that continue to evolve and change, which could continue to require significant compliance effort and resources.

 Because our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal, state and financial market exchange entities charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These entities, including the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ, periodically issue new requirements and regulations. Legislative bodies also review and revise applicable laws. As interpretation and implementation of these laws and rules and promulgation of new regulations continues, we will continue to be required to commit significant financial and managerial resources and incur additional expenses.

 Risks Related to our Ownership of Real Property

 Liability relating to environmental matters may impact the value of our real property.

 We may be subject to environmental liabilities arising from our ownership of real property. Under various U.S. federal, state and local laws, an owner or operator of real property may become liable for the costs of removal of certain hazardous substances released on its property. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release of such hazardous substances.

 The presence of hazardous substances on real property owned by us may adversely affect our ability to sell such real property and we may incur substantial remediation costs, thus harming our financial condition. The discovery of material environmental liabilities attached to such real property could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 Any of these events, in combination or individually, could disrupt our business and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

 Not applicable.

 Item 1C. Cybersecurity

 Gaia recognizes the critical importance of maintaining robust cybersecurity measures to protect our systems, data, and operations and to maintain the trust and confidence of our customers, clients, business partners and employees. Our board of directors is actively involved in oversight of our risk management program, including the management of risks arising from cybersecurity threats. It is our policy to provide regular updates to our shareholders regarding material cybersecurity incidents and the steps taken to address them. We believe that transparency in this area is crucial to maintaining trust and confidence in our operations.

 We have implemented a comprehensive cybersecurity program designed to identify, assess, and mitigate potential threats and vulnerabilities, while also implementing controls and procedures that provide for the prompt escalation of certain cybersecurity incidents so that decisions regarding the public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management in a timely manner. Our cybersecurity program includes regular risk assessments, network monitoring, penetration testing and incident response protocols. We also provide regular, mandatory training to our personnel regarding cybersecurity threats to educate employees with effective tools and knowledge to address cybersecurity threats, and to communicate the Company's evolving information security policies, standards, processes and practices. Our Senior Director of Operations/IT and his team work collaboratively across the Company and with our board of directors and management to maintain our cybersecurity program and to promptly respond to any cybersecurity incidents in accordance with our incident response and recovery plans. Our board of directors and management receive periodic cybersecurity updates from our Senior Director of Operations/IT, which may include recent material cybersecurity incidents and related responses, if any, changes to the risk landscape, and updates or changes to our cybersecurity program. The Company's Senior Director of Operations/IT has served in various roles in information technology and information security at Gaia for over 17 years.

 Our commitment to cybersecurity extends beyond our internal operations. We work closely with trusted third-party vendors and partners to ensure that they also meet our rigorous security standards. We utilize third-party cloud computing services as part of our global business operations. We also employ the use of third-party content delivery networks (CDN) to help us stream content in high volume to our members over the internet. Problems faced by Gaia or any of our third-party cloud computing or other network providers, involving technological or business-related disruptions, as well as cybersecurity threats, may have an adverse impact on the member experience.

 Cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have not materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect the Company to date, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.

 On September 9, 2020, our wholly owned subsidiary Boulder Road sold a 50% undivided interest in a portion of our Colorado campus to Westside Boulder, LLC. Boulder Road retained a 50% undivided interest in the property as well as full ownership of our studio and production facilities. In connection with the transaction, Boulder Road leased the property pursuant to a master lease for a term extending through September 30, 2030, with two five-year extensions. Gaia guaranteed Boulder Road's obligations under the master lease. Our Colorado facility is subject to a $13.0 million mortgage with First Interstate Bank as lender.

 Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 In the normal course of business, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including employment disputes, disputes on agreements, other commercial disputes, and tax matters, including non-income tax matters. We record accruals that can be reasonably estimated for losses related to matters against us that we consider to be probable. In the opinion of management, based on available information, settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, that are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or arbitration in existence at December 31, 2023 and that can be reasonably estimated are either reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2022

 Revenues, net. Revenues, net decreased $1.6 million, or 2.0%, to $80.4 million during 2023, compared to $82.0 million during 2022. The primary contributing factor to the decrease in revenue is a lower average-subscriber count for 2023 versus 2022. The reduced count is due to the industry-wide post-COVID subscriber contraction in the second half of 2022 and subsequent recovery.

 Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues increased $0.7 million, or 6.4%, to $11.6 million during 2023 from $10.9 million during 2022, with gross profit margin of 85.5% in the current year compared to 86.7% in 2022. The increase in the cost of revenues is driven mainly by increased paid advertising costs. The gross profit margin decrease is due to the combination of increased costs with lower revenues.

 Selling and operating expenses. Selling and operating expenses increased $3.0 million, or 4.7%, to $67.2 million during 2023 from $64.2 million during 2022 and, as a percentage of revenues, increased to 83.5% during 2023 from 78.2% during 2022. The increase was primarily driven by tax accruals for 2023.

 Corporate, general and administration expenses. Corporate, general and administration expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 13.9%, to $6.2 million during 2023 from $7.2 million during 2022 and, as a percentage of net revenue, decreased to 7.7% during 2023 from 8.8% during 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by higher legal fees and stock compensation expense during 2022.

 Interest and other income (expense), net. Interest and other income (expense), net decreased $(0.2) million to $(0.5) million during 2023 compared to $(0.3) million during 2022. The bulk of interest paid is attributed to the loan on our building and the line of credit discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

 Provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Provision for income taxes reflects a current year provision of $0.1 million compared to the prior year provision of $0.2 million from income taxes due to the partial valuation allowance release related to the recognition of deferred tax liabilities associated with the acquisition of Yoga International, Food Matters, and My Yoga Online.

 Our member base growth reflects seasonal variations driven primarily by periods when consumers typically spend more time indoors and, as a result, tend to increase their viewing. We have generally experienced the greatest member growth in the fourth and first quarters (October through February), and slowest during May through August. This drives quarterly variations in our spending on member acquisition efforts and the number of net new subscribers we add each quarter but does not result in a corresponding seasonality in net revenue. As we continue to expand internationally, we also expect regional seasonality trends to demonstrate more predictable seasonal patterns as our service offering in each market becomes more established and we have a longer history to assess such patterns.

 Critical Accounting Estimates

 We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K summarizes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 We believe the following to be critical accounting policies whose application has a material impact on our financial presentation, and involve a higher degree of complexity, as they require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

 Media library

 Media library represents the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value of capitalized costs to produce our proprietary media content, rights obtained through license arrangements and digital media content acquired through asset purchases or business combinations.

 The value of our produced media library consists of capitalized costs incurred to produce original media content, including salary and overhead costs of our in-house production team and other third-party costs.

 Our licensed media library is obtained through license arrangements. Generally, we pay an advance against a percentage royalty or an upfront license fee in exchange for the distribution rights for a specific license window, but we may also obtain a license for a fixed fee for perpetuity. These payments are capitalized at the time of payment. Certain agreements also include an ongoing royalty obligation, which entitles the licensor to a share of the revenues generated from the licensed works. These expenses are calculated and accrued on a monthly basis and included in costs of revenues. We pay these accrued royalties on a quarterly basis and therefore have included the related liability in accrued liabilities.

 The value of our acquired media library consists of the acquisition date fair value of media assets obtained through asset acquisitions and business combinations recorded at the estimated fair value of the titles acquired, which is based on a number of factors, including the number of titles, the total hours of content, the production quality and age of the acquired media assets.

 We amortize our media library in cost of revenues on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the license period or the estimated useful life of the titles, which typically ranges from 12 to 90 months. The amortization period begins with the first month of availability on our service.

 Management reviews content viewership to determine whether viewing patterns correlate with initial estimates supporting the amortization period utilized. If current estimates indicate that viewing is significantly higher in earlier periods relative to the remaining amortization period, we will begin amortizing the respective titles on an accelerated basis over the amortization period. Due to our exclusive content and growing member base, our viewership trends have continued to support both the amortization period and the straight-line basis of amortization with no additional amortization recorded.

 Our media library is reviewed for impairment at the film group level when an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of the film group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the film group is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the film group to estimated discounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the film group. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. No impairment charges were recorded during 2023 or 2022.

 Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of assets acquired less liabilities assumed in a business acquisition. We have only one reporting unit; therefore, goodwill is assessed at the enterprise level. We review goodwill for impairment annually as of October 1 or more frequently if indicators of impairment are identified. We have the option of first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of goodwill exceeds its carrying amount, we consider the goodwill to not be impaired. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value, we use both a comparable market approach and an income approach to test for potential impairment. The market approach follows the guideline public company method to establish valuation multiples for comparison. The income approach follows a traditional discounted cash flow model. Primary assumptions for each approach include revenue projections, operating expenses, discount rate, control premium, and terminal growth rate. Projections are dependent on management assumptions, which are partly based on the Company's historical experience. The results of these approaches are evaluated against the Company's market capitalization for reasonableness. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. Application of alternative assumptions and definitions could yield significantly different results. During 2023 and 2022, no impairment of goodwill was indicated.

 Income Taxes and Deferred Tax Balances

 Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded with respect to temporary differences in the accounting treatment of items for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes. The tax expense or benefit related to ordinary income or loss must be computed at an annual effective tax rate and the tax expense or benefit related to all other items must be individually computed and recognized as a discrete item when it occurs. Where, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some amount of recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established for the amount that, in management's judgment, is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. As we have historically had cumulative losses, we have not released the current valuation allowance. The timing of the release of the valuation allowance will be dependent on cumulative income for a period of 36 months and an expectation that we will not have cumulative losses in the future.

 A tax position must meet a minimum probability threshold before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

 Non-Income Taxes

 The Company accrues for non-income tax assessments from foreign jurisdictions related to prior periods and recognizes the expense within selling and operating, when deemed probable and estimable. Once the requirement to remit non-income taxes to foreign jurisdictions has been established, we present revenues net of the non-income taxes collected from members and remit such amounts to foreign tax authorities.

 Share-Based Compensation

 We recognize compensation cost for share-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the award on the date of grant. We measure compensation cost at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognize compensation cost upon the probable attainment of a specified performance condition over the estimated performance period or for time-based awards over the service period. Since 2019, we have only granted restricted stock units, for which we utilize the market price of our common stock on the date of grant to estimate fair value.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

 Our capital needs arise from working capital required to fund operations, capital expenditures related to acquisition and development of media content, development and marketing of our digital platforms, acquisitions of new businesses and other investments, replacements, expansions and improvements to our infrastructure, and future growth. These capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including the rate of market acceptance of our offerings, our ability to expand our customer base, the cost of ongoing upgrades to our offerings, our expenditures for marketing, and other factors. Additionally, we will continue to pursue opportunities to expand our media libraries, evaluate possible investments in businesses and technologies, and increase our marketing programs as needed.

 On December 28, 2020, Boulder Road and Westside Boulder, LLC entered into a loan agreement with First Interstate Bank, as lender, providing for a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $13.0 million. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.75% per annum and matures on December 28, 2025. Westside and Boulder Road each received 50% of the proceeds and are each responsible for 50% of the monthly installments. The loan is secured by a deed of trust, assignment of rents, security agreement and fixture filing on our corporate campus and is guaranteed by Gaia.

 On August 25, 2022, Gaia entered into a Credit and Security Agreement with KeyBank National Association. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $10.0 million with a sublimit of $1.0 million available for issuances of letters of credit. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are

 available for working capital and general corporate purposes, but not to fund any permitted acquisitions or other investments.

 We began to generate positive cash flows from operations since 2020 and have continued to generate cash flows from operations each subsequent quarter. We expect to continue generating positive cash flows from operations during 2024. We generated approximately $5.9 million in cash flows from operations during 2023, which helped fund the ongoing investment in our content library and the technology platform we use to deliver the content to our members.

 We intend to invest approximately 10%-20% of our consolidated revenues each year to support continued investment in our content library and technology platform. This spending is entirely discretionary in nature with no contractual commitments and due to our in-house production capabilities, we can scale our content investment based on the cash flows generated from operations if necessary to ensure we have sufficient liquidity to operate our business into the future. As of December 31, 2023, our cash balance was $7.8 million.

 In the normal course of our business, we investigate, evaluate and discuss acquisition, joint venture, minority investment, strategic relationship and other business combination opportunities in our market. For any future investment, acquisition or joint venture opportunities, we may consider using then-available liquidity, issuing equity securities or incurring indebtedness.

 While there can be no assurances, we believe our cash on hand, cash expected to be generated from operations, and potential capital raising capabilities should be sufficient to fund our operations on both a short-term and long-term basis. However, our projected cash needs may change as a result of acquisitions, product development, unforeseen operational difficulties or other factors.

 Class A Common Stock Offering

 On October 2, 2023, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC (the Underwriter) relating to the offer and sale of 1,855,000 shares of our Class A common stock ($0.0001 par value) (the Shares). We sold the Shares to the Underwriter at the public offering price of $2.70 per share less underwriting discounts and commissions, resulting in net proceeds of $4.7 million. We provided a 30-day option to the Underwriter to purchase up to an additional 278,250 Shares to cover over-allotments. On November 3, 2023, the Underwriter purchased an additional 203,754 Shares generating additional net proceeds of $0.5 million pursuant to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option.

 2023 Compared to 2022

 Operating activities. Cash flows from operations increased $4.2 million during 2023 compared to 2022. This increase was primarily driven by improvements in working capital driven by several factors including timing of payments to vendors and an increase in direct membership subscriptions.

 Investing activities. Cash flow used in investing activities decreased $4.0 million during 2023 compared to 2022 due to impacts from investments and planned decrease in capital expenditures.

 Financing activities. Cash flows from financing activities decreased $13.3 million during 2023 compared to 2022 primarily related to debt repayments in 2023. Debt repayments were partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock. We had no outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2023.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Gaia, Inc.

 Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Gaia, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows, for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 Basis for Opinion

 These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 Critical Audit Matter

 The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements - Refer to Note 3 in the Consolidated Financial Statements

 During the audit of the year ended December 31, 2023 consolidated financial statements, we identified material misstatements that impacted the prior year consolidated financial statements, which caused the need for them to be restated by the Company. These misstatements also impacted the current year consolidated financial statements to ensure that the consolidated financial statements were presented fairly in all material respects. The material

 misstatements identified that were corrected through the restatement of the consolidated financial statements are discussed within Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements.

 We identified the Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements as a critical audit matter because of the complexity of the items that are being restated, as well as the judgment used in determining the misstatements are quantitatively and qualitatively material to the users of the consolidated financial statements.

 How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

 Our audit procedures related to the misstatements identified resulting in the restatement of the prior year consolidated financial statements, as well as the impact to account balances, class of transactions, and disclosures impacting the current year consolidated financial statements, which include the following, among others:

 • We evaluated the internal control environment and determined whether there were internal control deficiencies, as well as the magnitude of those deficiencies, that related to the material misstatements identified.

 • We assessed the accounting implications of each of the misstatements and the impact that each of them had in regards to the current year and prior year consolidated financial statements.

 • We examined the prior year restated consolidated financial statements to determine if the misstatements that were identified had been appropriately accounted for within the restated prior year consolidated financial statements.

 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 References in this report to "we", "us", "our", "Company" or "Gaia" refer to Gaia, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless we indicate otherwise.

 1. Organization and Nature of Operations
 Gaia, Inc. operates a global digital video subscription service and on-line community that strives to connect a unique and underserved member base. Our digital content is available to our members on most internet-connected devices anytime, anywhere commercial free. Through our online Gaia subscription service, our members have unlimited access to a vast library of inspiring films, cutting edge documentaries, interviews, yoga classes, transformation related content, and more – exclusively available to our members for digital streaming. A subscription also allows our members to download and view files from our library without being actively connected to the internet. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on July 7, 1988.

 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 Basis of Presentation
 We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, and they include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries, over which we exercise control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 Cash represents on-demand accounts with financial institutions that are denominated in U.S. dollars. We consider financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. We also classify transactions that we expect to settle within several days as cash equivalents.

 Concentration of Risk
 During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, one third-party platform partner ("Partner") accounted for 15 % and 14 % of the Company's revenues, respectively. Additionally, two Partners accounted for 51 % and 26 % of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023, respectively and 64 % and 16 % of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022, respectively.

 Accounts Receivable
 Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due from Partners who have the billing relationship with the member and collect subscription fees on our behalf. We evaluate the need for an allowance for credit losses based on historical collection trends and changes in our customer payment patterns, current and expected conditions and market trends along with our operating forecasts, concentration, and creditworthiness and determined no allowance was needed at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 Property and Equipment, Net
 We state property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We include in property and equipment the cost of internal-use software, including software used in connection with our websites. We expense all costs related to the development of internal-use software other than those incurred during the application development stage. We capitalize the costs we incur during the application development stage and amortize them over the estimated useful life of the software. We compute depreciation of property and equipment on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. We amortize building improvements over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or remaining life of the building. See Note 5 for a description of estimated useful lives. Depreciation expense is included in selling and operating expense, and corporate, general and administration expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 Media Library, Net
 Media library represents the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value of capitalized costs to produce our proprietary media content, rights obtained through license arrangements and digital media content acquired through asset purchases or business combinations.
 We amortize our media library in cost of revenues on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the license period or the estimated useful life of the titles, which typically ranges from 12 to 90 months. The amortization period begins with the first month of availability on our service.
 Our media library is reviewed at the film group level for impairment when an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the film group to estimated discounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the film group. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.

 Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of assets acquired less liabilities assumed in a business acquisition. We have only one reporting unit; therefore, goodwill is assessed at the enterprise level. We review goodwill for impairment annually on October 1 or more frequently if indicators of impairment are identified. We have the option of first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined that the estimated fair value of goodwill is more likely than not greater than the carrying amount of goodwill, then an impairment test is unnecessary. If it is determined that an impairment test is necessary, then we compare the estimated fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of goodwill exceeds its carrying amount, we consider the goodwill not impaired. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value, we will record an impairment loss for the difference. We use both a comparable market approach and an income approach to test for potential impairment. The market approach follows the guideline public company method to establish valuation multiples for comparison. The income approach follows a traditional discounted cash flow model. Primary assumptions for each approach include revenue projections, operating expenses, discount rate, control premium, and terminal growth rate. Projections are dependent on management assumptions, which are partly based on the Company's historical experience. The results of these approaches are evaluated against the Company's market capitalization for reasonableness. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. Application of alternative assumptions and definitions could yield significantly different results. During 2023 and 2022, no impairment of goodwill was indicated.

 Long-Lived Assets
 We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets held and used, other than goodwill, when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We consider the carrying value of a long-lived asset impaired when the total projected undiscounted cash flows from such asset are separately identifiable and are less than the carrying value. We recognize a loss based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset. We determine the estimated fair value primarily using the projected cash flows from the asset discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. During 2023 and 2022, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.

 Income Taxes
 We provide for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires recognition of deferred income taxes based on temporary differences between financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, using current enacted income tax rates and regulations. These differences will result in taxable income or deductions in future years when the reported amount of the asset or liability is recovered or settled, respectively. Considerable judgment is required in determining when these events may occur and whether recovery of an asset, including the utilization of a net operating loss or other carryforward prior to its expiration, is more likely than not.

 The Company does no t recognize certain tax benefits from uncertain tax positions within the provision for income taxes. The Company may recognize a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. See Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding income taxes.
 Non-Income Taxes
 The Company accrues for non-income tax assessments from foreign jurisdictions related to prior periods and recognizes the expense within selling and operating, when deemed probable and estimable. Once the requirement to remit non-income taxes to foreign jurisdictions has been established, we present revenues net of the non-income taxes collected from members and remit such amounts to foreign tax authorities.

 Revenue Recognition
 Revenues consist primarily of subscription fees paid by our members. We present revenues net of the taxes that are collected from members and remitted to governmental authorities. Members are billed in advance and revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription term. Deferred revenues consist of subscription fees collected from members that have not been earned and are recognized ratably over the remaining term of the subscription. We recognize revenue on a net basis for relationships where our Partners have the primary relationship, including billing and service delivery, with the member. We recognize revenue on a gross basis for members whose primary relationship is with Gaia. Payments made to Partners to assist in promoting our service on their platforms are expensed to marketing expenses in the period incurred. We do not allow access to our service to be provided as part of a bundle by any of our Partners.
 As of December 31, 2023, total deferred revenue was $ 15.9 million and is expected to be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months.
 We also earn revenue from advertisements presented on our streaming service. Revenues earned from sources other than monthly membership fees were $ 2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $ 1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 Discontinued Operations
 Yoga International historically had a line of business focused on transactional course sales. This content was rolled into the subscription offering at the end of 2021 and this line of business was discontinued in 2022 as the contractual commitments related to this line of business lapsed. There are no other assets or liabilities associated with this revenue stream. As this represents a strategic shift with a major effect on our operations and financial results, we have presented the results of operations related to winding up this line of business as discontinued operations on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

 Business Combinations
 Gaia recognizes identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. While we use our best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed, these estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. The authoritative guidance allows a measurement period of up to one year from the date of acquisition to make adjustments to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price. As a result, during the measurement period we may record adjustments to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill to the extent that it identifies adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation. Upon conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments will be recorded to the consolidated statement of operations.

 Marketing
 Marketing costs consist primarily of advertising expenses, which include promotional activities such as online advertising and public relations expenditures. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and operating expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During 2023 and 2022, we expensed marketing and advertising costs of $ 33.1 million and $ 30.5 million, respectively.

 Share-Based Compensation
 We recognize compensation cost for share-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the award on date of grant. We measure compensation cost at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognize compensation cost upon the probable attainment of a specified performance condition over the estimated performance period or for time-based awards over the service period. Since 2019, we have only granted restricted stock units, for which we utilize the market price of our common stock on the date of grant to estimate fair value. We account for forfeitures as they occur.

 Segment Information
 Gaia's Chief Executive Officer is the chief operating decision maker, who reviews Gaia's financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating our financial performance. Accordingly, we have determined that we operate in a single reporting segment.

 Reclassifications
 We reclassed amounts in our fiscal 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements to conform with current period presentation. As a result, we made the following adjustments:
 On the Consolidated Balance Sheets:
 Amounts from Prepaid expense and other current assets have been reclassed into Other receivables;
 Amounts from Media library, software and equipment, net and Real estate, investment and other assets, net have been reclassed into Media library, net; Property and equipment, net; Equity method investment and Investments and other assets, net;
 Amounts from Accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities have been reclassed into Accounts Payable and Accrued and other liabilities;
 Amounts from Short-term debt and lease liability have been reclassed into Short-term debt and Operating lease liability, current portion.
 On the Consolidated Statements of Operations:
 Amounts from Interest and other expense, net have been reclassed into Equity method investment losses and Interest and other expense, net.
 On the Consolidated Statements of Equity:

 Amounts from Issuance of Gaia, Inc. common stock for RSU releases, employee stock purchase plan, and share-based compensation have been reclassed into Issuance of Gaia, Inc. common stock for RSU releases; Issuance of Gaia, Inc. common stock for employee stock purchase plan and Share-based compensation.
 On the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
 Amounts from Depreciation and amortization have been reclassed into Media library amortization and Depreciation and amortization;
 Amounts from Accounts payable and accrued liabilities have been reclassed into Noncash operating lease expense; Accounts Payable; and Accrued and other liabilities;
 Amounts from Accounts receivable have been reclassed into Other receivables;
 Amounts from Additions to Media library, software and equipment and other assets have been reclassed into Additions to media library and Additions to property and equipment.

 Defined Contribution Plan
 We have adopted a defined contribution retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Internal Revenue Code"), which covers substantially all employees. Eligible employees may contribute amounts to the plan, via payroll withholding, subject to certain limitations. The 401(k) plan permits, but does not require, us to make additional matching contributions to the 401(k) plan on behalf of all participants in the 401(k) plan. The plan allows us to determine the match contribution percentage, if any. We made matching contributions to the 401(k) plan of $ 0.2 million and $ 0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 Fair Value Measurements
 Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Assets and liabilities are valued based upon observable and non-observable inputs. Valuations using Level 1 inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs utilize significant other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly; and valuations using Level 3 inputs are based on significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair values.

 Leases
 As discussed in Note 8, we entered into an operating lease in connection with the sale of a portion of our corporate campus. We record the ROU asset for the operating lease term as an asset and our obligation to make lease payments as a liability. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the consolidated balance sheet and the expense for these short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are not included in the lease payments used to measure the lease liability and are expensed as incurred.

 Noncontrolling Interest
 Gaia holds certain interests in entities where Gaia is the majority owner but not sole owner. These investments are included in our consolidated financial statements. The minority-owned portion of these investments is presented as Noncontrolling Interest ("NCI") on the consolidated financial statements. Any changes of the ownership interest of NCI are accounted for as equity transactions and adjustments in the consolidated financial statements.

 Loss Per Share
 Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Potential shares of common stock consist of incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units utilizing the treasury stock method.

 Investments
 The Company classifies investments at the acquisition date and re-evaluates the classification at each balance sheet date and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there is a change in the Company's ability to exercise significant influence. The ability to exercise significant influence over, but not control, the operating and financial policies of the investee is presumed to exist when the Company owns 20 % or greater of the voting interests in the investee, but the Company also applies judgment regarding its level of influence over the investee by considering key factors such as representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions, and material intercompany transactions. The Company accounts for its investments in other entities over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, using the equity method of accounting.
 Under the equity method of accounting, the Company's investment is initially recorded at cost within Investments in Equity Method Investees on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company adjusts its investment for contributions made, its proportionate share of net earnings, declared dividends, and distributions of the investee. To the extent there is a basis difference between the amount invested and the Company's proportionate share of the underlying net assets of the investee, the Company allocates such differences amongst the recorded assets of the investee. The basis differences are amortized on a straight-line basis over the underlying assets' estimated useful lives when calculating the attributable earnings or losses. The Company records in the statements of operations its share of income or loss of the investee, including any amortization of basis differences, within interest and other expense, net, which results in an increase or decrease to the carrying value of the investment. Any dividends received from the investee are recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the investment.
 The Company assesses investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an investment may not be recoverable. If the investment is determined to have a decline in value deemed to be other than temporary, it is written down to estimated fair value. We did no t record any impairment charges on our investments during the years 2023 or 2022.

 Use of Estimates
 The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and disclosures. Although we base these estimates on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates.

 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments' significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU 2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.

 In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for

 fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09

 3. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

 After the issuance of the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company identified certain prior period misstatements in relation to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 Description of Misstatement Adjustments

 (a) Media Library, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Impact

 As part of the Company's operations, it spends a significant amount of resources on developing media library content that is made available to its subscribers. Historically, the Company has classified amounts spent to produce media content as investing cash outflows. However, the Company revisited the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 920, Entertainment-Broadcasters ("ASC 920") and ASC Topic 926, Entertainment-Films ("ASC 926") and determined that the nature of the media library costs is consistent with the capitalizable costs described in ASC 920 and 926 and, therefore, applying this guidance to the Company's media library costs is appropriate. This guidance requires these costs to be classified as operating cash outflows rather than investing cash outflows. Therefore, the Company determined the prior year presentation was incorrect resulting in a $ 9.8 million overstatement of net cash used in investing activities and corresponding understatement of net cash provided by operating activities for periods ended March 31, 2022 through September 30, 2023.

 (b) Line of Credit, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Impact

 In August 2022, the Company obtained a new line of credit for which the first draw occurred in September 2022 in the amount of $ 7.5 million. In October 2022, the outstanding balance was paid off with no amount outstanding. Shortly thereafter, in November 2022 and December 2022, respectively, the Company drew down $ 2.7 million and an additional $ 6.3 million, resulting in an outstanding total balance of $ 9.0 million as of December 31, 2022. In the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company presented the borrowings and payments on a net basis, resulting in $ 9.0 million presented as "Proceeds from borrowings under revolving line of credit". However, GAAP required companies to present the gross borrowings and payments for cash flow presentation purposes. Therefore, the Company should have presented proceeds from borrowings under revolving line of credit of $ 16.5 million and included $ 7.5 million in the Repayment of debt line item. The misstatement did not have any impact on the net cash provided by financing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows, or any impact on the consolidated statement of operations, or consolidated balance sheet as of or for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 (c) Equity Method Investment

 In September 2016, the Company purchased a 10 % equity ownership interest in an entity called Telomeron, Inc. ("Telomeron"), wherein the parent company of Telomeron, Exagon Industries Limited ("Exagon") contributed intellectual property with an agreed upon value of $ 100.0 million and the Company paid Exagon $ 10.0 million in exchange for the 10 % equity ownership interest. The Company's historical accounting conclusion was that the ownership interest represented an investment in equity securities rather than an equity method investment. However, the Company revisited the original conclusion and concluded that the Company had the ability to exercise influence over Telomeron and therefore, should have been accounted for and disclosed as an equity method investment from inception. As Telomeron holds certain contributed technology from its parent that does not have a recognized carrying value, the Company's cost of the investment exceeds its proportionate share of the net assets by $ 10.0 million. Management of the Company determined that the excess basis allocated to amortizable assets should have been recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated 20 -year life of the contributed technology at a rate of $ 0.5 million per year. The accumulated impact of the misstatement as of December 31, 2021 was an overstatement of the equity method investment by $ 2.6 million and a corresponding understatement of the accumulated deficit.

 During the year ended December 31, 2022, equity method investment losses should have been $ 0.5 million with a corresponding decrease to the equity method investment.

 (d) BioWell Noncontrolling Interest

 The Company holds a 51 % controlling equity ownership in Bio-Well, LLC ("BioWell"), an entity that sells certain goods and services to customers and has had activity since 2015. The Company has historically consolidated the results of BioWell; however, the Company did not appropriately record, present or disclose a noncontrolling interest in relation to the 49 % portion of BioWell not controlled by the Company within either the consolidated statement of operations or the consolidated balance sheet. The noncontrolling interest that should have been presented on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022 was $ 0.8 million and $ 1.1 million, respectively. The portion of the Company's net income attributable to noncontrolling interest holders for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $ 0.3 million.

 The following tables represent the restated consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022. These tables also present a reconciliation from the prior period as previously reported to the restated amounts.

 8. Leases
 In connection with the sale of a portion of our corporate campus as further discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, we leased the property pursuant to a master lease for a term extending through September 30, 2030, with two five-year extensions. The extension options are not recognized as part of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. We record the right to use the underlying asset for the operating lease term as an asset and our obligation to make lease payments as a liability, based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. At December 31, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term was 6.75 years and the weighted average discount rate was 3.75 %.

 Because the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Information related to our right-of-use asset and related lease liability were as follows:

 9. Debt

 On September 9, 2020, our wholly owned subsidiary Boulder Road LLC ("Boulder Road") sold a 50 % undivided interest in a portion of our corporate campus to Westside Boulder, LLC ("Westside"). Boulder Road retained a 50 % undivided interest in the property as well as full ownership of our studio and production facilities. Boulder Road received consideration of $ 13.2 million in the transaction.
 On December 28, 2020, Boulder Road and Westside ("Borrower") entered into a loan agreement with First Interstate Bank, as lender, providing for a mortgage loan in the principal amount of $ 13.0 million. The mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.75 % per annum, matures on December 28, 2025, is secured by a deed of trust on our corporate campus, a portion of which is owned by Boulder Road and Westside as tenants-in-common and the remainder of which is owned by Boulder Road. Westside and Boulder Road each received 50 % of the loan proceeds and are each responsible for 50 % of the monthly installments. Gaia guaranteed payment of the mortgage. The mortgage contains customary affirmative and negative covenants (each with customary exceptions), including limitations on the Borrower's ability to incur liens or debt, make investments, or engage in certain fundamental changes. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires Boulder Road to maintain a minimum Debt Service Ratio – Pre Distribution of 1.35 to 1.00 annually and a minimum Debt Service Ratio – Post Distribution of 1.15 to 1.00 annually. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all related covenants.
 On August 25, 2022 (the "Closing Date"), Gaia, as borrower, and certain subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with KeyBank National Association ("KeyBank"). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $ 10 million with a sublimit of $ 1 million available for issuances of letters of credit. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are available for working capital and general corporate purposes, but not to fund any permanent acquisitions or other investments. There were no outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2023.
 Loans made, or letters of credit issued, under the Credit Agreement mature on August 25, 2025 and are secured (subject to permitted liens and other exceptions) by a first priority lien on all business assets, including intellectual property, of Gaia and the subsidiary guarantors.
 Any advance under the Credit Agreement shall bear interest at the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") (subject to a floor of 0.00 %), plus, the SOFR Index Adjustment of 0.10 %, plus a margin of 2.00 %; provided, that, during the existence of a Benchmark Unavailability Period or a SOFR Unavailability Period, advances shall bear interest at the Base Rate, which is a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50 %, (ii) KeyBank's "prime rate," (iii) SOFR and (iv) 3.00 %, plus, in each instance, a margin of 1.00 %.
 The aggregate outstanding amount of advances under the Credit Agreement is required to be $ 0 for at least 30 consecutive days during the period commencing on the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the 24-month anniversary of the Closing Date. The Company satisfied this requirement during October and November 2023.
 The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants (each with customary exceptions), including limitations on the Company's ability to incur liens or debt, make investments, pay dividends, enter into transactions with its affiliates and engage in certain fundamental changes. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires Gaia to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 and to not permit the Leverage Ratio to exceed 1.50 to 1.00 for any computation period. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all related covenants.

 10. Contingencies
 From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that we consider to be in the normal course of business. We record accruals for losses related to those matters against us that we consider to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated. Based on available information, in the opinion of management, settlements, arbitration awards and final judgments, if any, that are considered probable of being rendered against us in litigation or arbitration in existence at December 31, 2023 and that can be reasonably estimated are either reserved against or would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 The Company is subject to tax examinations for non-income taxes in foreign jurisdictions where it provides services to consumers residing in foreign jurisdictions. A number of these examinations are ongoing and, in certain cases, have resulted in assessments from foreign tax authorities. An accrual for non-income tax liability is recognized for foreign jurisdictions when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the non-income tax exposure can be reasonably estimated. For other foreign jurisdictions requiring non-income taxes, the Company has determined that the non-income tax exposure is reasonably possible. However, due that the Company is in early stages of the examination or a lack of communication from foreign tax authorities, and the Company's prior experience with foreign tax authorities, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of non-income tax exposure that may be incurred.

 11. Loss Per Share
 Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock and, when dilutive, potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period ("Common stock equivalents"). Common stock equivalents consist of incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units utilizing the treasury stock method. There were no common stock equivalents for 2023 and 2022. The computation of loss per share is as follows:

 12. Shareholders' Equity
 Our common stock has two classes, Class A and Class B. Each holder of our Class A common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Each holder of our Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. There are no cumulative voting rights. All holders of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock vote as a single class on all matters that are submitted to the shareholders for a vote, except as provided by law or as set forth in our charter. Shareholders may consent to an action in writing and without a meeting under certain circumstances. Jirka Rysavy, our chairman, holds 100 % of our 5,400,000 outstanding shares of Class B common stock and also owns 575,061 shares of Class A common stock. Consequently, our chairman holds approximately 76 % of our voting stock and is able to exert substantial influence over and to control matters requiring approval by shareholders, including the election of directors, increasing our authorized capital stock, or a merger or sale of substantially all of our assets. As a result of Mr. Rysavy's control of us, no change of control can occur without Mr. Rysavy's consent.
 We have 50 million preferred shares authorized, with no ne issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, the Board of Directors can, at any time, and without stockholder approval, issue one or more new series of preferred stock, with such designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights as shall be expressed in articles of amendment, however, the Board of Directors shall not issue or authorize any voting preferred stock without the consent or approval of a majority of the Class B common stock.
 Our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Gaia, our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock are entitled to share ratably in our assets remaining after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities. Holders of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock have no preemptive, subscription or redemption rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our Class A common stock or our Class B common stock.
 Our Class B common stock may not be transferred unless converted into our Class A common stock. Shares of our Class B common stock are convertible one -for-one into shares of our Class A common stock, at the option of the holder of the Class B common stock.
 During 2023 and 2022, we issued shares of our Class A common stock as shown in the table below under our 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan") and the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2009 Plan").

 Class A Common Stock Offering
 On October 2, 2023, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC (the "Underwriter") relating to the offer and sale of 1,855,000 shares of our Class A common stock ($ 0.0001 par value) ("the Shares"). We sold the Shares to the Underwriter at the public offering price of $ 2.70 per share less underwriting discounts and commissions, resulting in net proceeds of $ 4.7 million. We provided a 30-day option to the Underwriter to purchase up to an additional 278,250 Shares to cover over-allotments. On November 3, 2023, the Underwriter purchased an additional 203,754 shares generating additional net proceeds of $ 0.5 million pursuant to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option.

 As of December 31, 2023, we had the following Class A common shares reserved for future issuance:

 During 2023, we entered into various treasury stock transactions to buy and hold shares of our Class A common stock. We repurchased a total of 64,805 shares of our Class A common stock at an average price of $ 2.62 per share. We used the cost method to account for the repurchase.

 13. Share-Based Compensation
 The Company's 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") became effective on April 29, 2019. The purpose of the ESPP is to provide eligible employees an opportunity to purchase shares of our Class A common stock over time through regular payroll deductions. The ESPP initially reserved and authorized the issuance of up to a total of 300,000 shares of our Class A common stock to participating employees, subject to certain adjustments. The number of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the ESPP will be increased on the first day of each year beginning with 2020 in an amount equal to the number of shares issued under the ESPP in the prior year. No participant may purchase more than 1,000 shares of our Class A common stock during any offering period under the ESPP. In addition, under applicable tax rules, an employee may purchase no more than $ 25,000 worth of shares of our Class A common stock, valued at the start of the offering period, under the ESPP for each calendar year.
 On April 29, 2019, the 2019 Plan became effective. This replaced the 2009 Plan, which lost the authority to grant new options under the 2009 Plan on April 23, 2019. The purpose of the 2019 Plan is to advance the interests of our company and its shareholders by providing incentives to certain employees and other key individuals who perform services for us, including those who contribute significantly to the strategic and long-term performance objectives and growth of our company. No more than 1.8 million shares of our Class A common stock, subject to certain adjustments, may be issued under the 2019 Plan, and the 2019 Plan terminates no later than April 25, 2029.
 In 2015, we commenced issuing restricted stock units ("RSUs"). The RSUs entitle the recipient to receive one share of Class A common stock for each RSU upon vesting. The RSUs are issued with cliff vesting in five years for employees and one year for directors, provided that the recipient is still an employee or director of Gaia on such date. The RSUs will be automatically forfeited and of no further force and effect if the vesting conditions are not met. We value our RSUs using the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted during the year. No options were granted during 2023 or 2022. The exercise price of our legacy outstanding options is generally equal to the closing market price of our stock at the date of the grant. We recognize the compensation expense related to share-based payment awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which are generally five years for employees, and one year for board members.

 During 2023 and 2022, we recognized approximately $ 1.1 million and $ 1.8 million, respectively, of share-based compensation expense. Total share-based compensation expense is reported in selling and operating expenses and corporate, general and administration expenses on our consolidated statements of operations. The total income tax impact on provision was $ 1.2 million and $ 1.1 million, for 2023 and 2022, respectively. There were no options exercised during 2023 or 2022. We issue new shares upon the exercise of options and vesting of RSUs.
 As of December 31, 2023, there was $ 3.9 million of unrecognized cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the 2009 and 2019 Plans. We expect that cost to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.37 years.

 Periodically, we perform assessments of the realization of our net deferred tax assets considering all available evidence, both positive and negative. We determined that a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets of $ 17.8 million and $ 16.1 million for 2023 and 2022, respectively, was necessary due to the cumulative loss incurred

 over a three-year period. We have federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 79.3 million and $ 25.7 million, respectively, of which $ 10.4 million in federal net operating losses expire after 2037. Net operating losses generated in 2018 and beyond do not expire. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) is a stimulus bill which was in response to economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act provided an employee retention credit, which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. During the second half of 2023, we recorded $ 1.75 million related to the employee retention credit in Selling and operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations with a related receivable balance from the United States government related to the CARES Act, which is recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets.
 We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. We measure the tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, we are required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding our income tax exposures. Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax law and regulations change over time and may result in changes to our subjective assumptions and judgments which can materially affect amounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations.
 The result of our assessment of our uncertain tax positions did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Our federal and state tax returns for all years after 2015 are subject to future examination by tax authorities for all our tax jurisdictions. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in interest and other income (expense) and corporate, general and administrative expenses, respectively.

 15. Equity Method Investment
 The Company holds a 10 % equity interest in the common stock of Telomeron, Inc., which it acquired in 2016 for $ 10.0 million. The Company determined it has the ability to exercise influence over Telomeron and, therefore, uses the equity method of accounting to account for its equity interest. Telomeron holds certain contributed technology from its parent that does not have a recognized carrying value and, as such, the Company's cost of the investment exceeds its proportionate share of the net assets by $ 10.0 million. The Company's excess basis allocated to amortizable assets is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contributed technology, which is estimated to be 20 years. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $ 0.5 million, and was recorded within interest and other expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Telomeron has not recorded any other activity, including declaring any dividends; therefore, no other earnings, losses or adjustments to the carrying value of the investment have been recorded to date. The carrying value of the Telomeron investment as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $ 6.4 million and $ 6.9 million, respectively, as a result of the amortization of the basis difference.

 16. Segment Information and Geographic Information
 As discussed in Note 2, our chief operating decision maker reviews operating results on a consolidated basis and we therefore have one reportable segment.
 Geographic Information
 We have members in the United States and over 185 foreign countries. The major geographic territories are the U.S., Canada and Australia based on the billing location of the member.
 The following represents geographical data for our operations:

 17. Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)

 The previously reported condensed consolidated financial information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, have been corrected. As part of the restatement, the Company recorded adjustments to correct the misstatements in the impacted periods. See Note 3 for further information regarding the restatement.

 Description of Misstatement Adjustments

 (a) Media Library, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Impact

 As further described in Note 3, the Company determined the prior quarterly presentation was incorrect in relation to its presentation of additions to its media library content, resulting in an overstatement of investing cash outflows and corresponding overstatement of cash provided by operating activities. Refer to the tables below for the amount of these corrections within each respective period.

 (b) Line of Credit, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Impact

 During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company identified an overstatement of the proceeds from short-term borrowings and a corresponding overstatement of the repayment of debt in relation to the Company's line of credit arrangement. The misstatement did not have any impact on the net cash provided by financing activities, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows or the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 (c) Equity Method Investment

 As further described in Note 3, the Company has an excess basis allocated to amortizable assets in relation to its equity method investment that should have been recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated 20 -year life of the contributed technology at a rate of $ 0.5 million per year. Therefore, the Company recorded a correction to the beginning investment balance with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated deficit to reflect the appropriate carrying value of the investment, as well as the associated equity method investment loss related to the continuing amortization of the excess basis. Refer to the tables below for the amount of these corrections within each respective period.

 (d) BioWell Noncontrolling Interest

 As further described in Note 3, the Company identified misstatements due to its lack of presentation of the noncontrolling interest and corresponding net income attributable to noncontrolling interest holders associated with

 its investment in BioWell. Refer to the tables below for the amount of these corrections within each respective period.

 The following tables represent the restated condensed consolidated balance sheet and the restated condensed consolidated statements of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2023. These tables also present a reconciliation from the prior period as previously reported to the restated amounts.

 18. Subsequent Events

 We have evaluated all events that occur after the consolidated balance sheet date through the date when the consolidated financial statements were issued to determine if they must be reported. We determined that there were no reportable subsequent events to be disclosed.

 Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 None.

 Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K were not effective at a reasonable assurance level based on the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described below. Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Gaia have been detected.

 Reported Material Weaknesses in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 In the course of preparing our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, we identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of December 31, 2023.

 Specifically, we determined that we did not have appropriate technical accounting and financial reporting capabilities to properly record in our financial statements certain complex or unusual transactions.

 Additionally, we determined our financial close and reporting process was inadequate due to insufficient analysis of certain accounts and inadequate financial reporting systems.

 These material weaknesses resulted in incorrect accounting entries that were identified and corrected through the audit of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. In addition, these material weaknesses resulted in errors in the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 through September 30, 2023, as more fully described in Note 3 ("Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements"), and Note 17 ("Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)"), to the consolidated financial statements included herein.

 This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting because that requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 does not apply to smaller reporting companies.

 Remediation Efforts to Address Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 We have evaluated the material weaknesses and are developing a plan of remediation to strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting which includes implementing new controls over financial reporting that will identify non-routine complex or unusual transactions during the review process and ensure appropriate evaluation

 and accounting treatment application. Some remediation efforts have been implemented, while others are in the process of being implemented. The remediation efforts are intended to address the deficiencies and enhance our overall internal control environment.

 In order to address these material weaknesses, we plan to hire additional accounting and finance personnel with technical accounting and financial reporting experience as well as implement procedures and controls in the financial statement close and reporting process, which include enhanced system capabilities in most areas, enhanced reconciliation controls, enhanced review controls and financial close checklists which ensure all necessary reviews and reconciliations are occurring as designed. Additionally, we plan to enhance access to accounting training, literature, research materials and plan to increase communication channels among our personnel and outsourced third-party professionals with whom we may consult regarding the application of complex accounting transactions.

 We believe the measures described above along with other elements of our remediation plan will remediate the material weaknesses identified and strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and have begun to implement the measures described above. We will also continue to review, optimize and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to address control deficiencies or we may modify certain of the remediation measures described above. We will not consider our material weaknesses remediated until the applicable remediated controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

 Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 Other than the material weakness remediation activities described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, the effectiveness of our controls in future periods is uncertain and subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 using the criteria set forth in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in its "Internal Control-Integrated Framework." Our management identified control deficiencies, as previously disclosed, that, individually or in the aggregate, constitute material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. While our management, with the oversight of our Audit Committee, has made progress toward remediating the material weaknesses, our management has determined that the material weaknesses have not yet been fully remediated. Consequently, our management has concluded our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023.
