The
business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known
or or
unknown, including but not limited to those described below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the
Company’s Company’s
actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial
condition and operating
results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the
Company’s business, financial condition,
operating results and stock price. References to past events are provided by way of
example only and are not intended to be a complete listing or a representation as to whether or not such factors have occurred in
the past or their likelihood of occurring in the future. Because of the following factors, as well as other factors affecting the
Company’s financial
condition and operating results, past financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable
indicator of future performance,
and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future
periods.
We
have incurred significant losses since our inception, and we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. Accordingly,
our financial condition raises substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
We
incurred a net loss of $3.0 million and negative cash flows from operations of $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. As
of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $91.8 million and cash and cash equivalents of $0.9 million. For the year ended
December 31, 2024, we experienced an average net cash burn from operations of approximately $0.2 million per month. We expect to continue
to have a net cash outflow from operations for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop our product portfolio and invest in developing
new video game titles.
As
a result of our financial condition, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern.
The reports of our independent registered public accountants on our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024
and 2023 also include explanatory language describing the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
There have been no adjustments to the accompanying financial statements to reflect this uncertainty. See Part II, Item 7, “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” of this Report and
Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Risks and Uncertainties in our consolidated financial statements
for additional information.
If
we are unable to satisfy our capital requirements, we could be required to adopt one or more of the following alternatives:
There
can be no assurance that we would be able to take any of the actions referred to above because of a variety of commercial or market factors,
including, without limitation, market conditions being unfavorable for an equity or debt issuance or similar transactions, additional
capital contributions and/or loans not being available from Driven Lifestyle or affiliates and/or third parties, or that the transactions
may not be permitted under the terms of our various debt instruments then in effect, such as due to restrictions on the incurrence of
debt, incurrence of liens, asset dispositions and related party transactions. In addition, such actions, if taken, may not enable us
to satisfy our capital requirements if the actions that we are able to consummate do not generate a sufficient amount of additional capital.
If we are ultimately unable to satisfy our capital requirements, we would likely need to dissolve and liquidate our assets under the
bankruptcy laws or otherwise.
We
willmay require additional capital to meet our financial obligations, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms or at
all.
We
expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to incur significant expenses. Accordingly, as a result
of our financial condition, we willmay need to engage in equity and/or debt financing arrangements or similar transactions (collectively,
“Capital Financing”)
to secure additional funds to continue our existing business operations and to fund our obligations. Other than the line of credit that
Therewe entered into with Citibank, N.A. (the “Citibank Line of Credit”), there are currently no commitments in place for future
financing and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds on
commercially acceptable terms, if at all. In addition,
there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the covenants that we are required to comply with in order to access the
Citibank Line of Credit.
Even
if we do secure additional Capital Financing, our liquidity position may continue to be insufficient to satisfy our future capital requirements
requirements if our anticipated level of revenues is not achieved because of, for example, decreased sales of our products due to
the disposition
of key assets, such as the sale of our NASCAR License, further changes in our product roadmap and/or our inability
to deliver new products for our various other licenses;
less than anticipated consumer acceptance of our offering of products and
events; less than effective marketing and promotion
campaigns, decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions
or weakness in the overall electronic games category;
adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates; decreased sales of our
products and events as a result of increased competitive
activities by our competitors; changes in consumer purchasing habits, such
as the impact of higher energy prices on consumer
purchasing behavior; retailer inventory management or reductions in retailer
display space; less than anticipated results from our existing or new products or from its advertising and/or marketing plans;
or if
our expenses, including, without limitation, for marketing, advertising and promotions, or product returns or price protection
expenditures,returns, exceed the anticipated level of expenses.
LimitsRestrictions
on our borrowing capacity under the $12Credit millionAgreement Linewith of CreditCitibank may affect our ability to finance our operations.
The Credit Agreement (as defined below) with Citibank (as defined below) and related documents require us to abide by certain restrictive covenants, including covenants related to conducting our business and maintaining certain levels of cash flow and fixed charges. To the extent we require additional funding while any borrowing remains outstanding under the Citibank Promissory Note (as defined below), we will therefore be limited in the types of fundraising transactions that we are able to pursue in compliance with the Credit Agreement. In addition, the Citibank Promissory Note is secured by a lien on substantially all our assets, and if we were to default Citibank could foreclose on our assets. If funding is not available or not available at terms acceptable to us, we may be compelled to further reduce overhead costs and our cash obligations in the short term. In addition, we may look to divest or bring in equity partners for our various divisions and bring in near term capital.
Our
ability to borrow additional funds under the $12 million Line of Credit is limited by Driven Lifestyle’s ability to fund such borrowing
requests. If and to the extent that Driven Lifestyle were to be unable to fund any such requests, we will not have complete access to
some or all of the commitment available under the $12 million Line of Credit, but rather would have access to a lesser amount as determined
by Driven Lifestyle’s ability to fund our borrowing requests. Given the state of the financial markets, we have recently assessed
our exposure to any potential non-performance by Driven Lifestyle and believe that there is a substantial likelihood that Driven Lifestyle
may not fulfill our future borrowing requests. Because of these limitations, we do not rely on being able to meet our cash requirements
with any additional fundings under the $12 million Line of Credit. If Driven Lifestyle is unable to fulfill their commitment to advance
funds to us under the $12 million Line of Credit, it would impact our potential sources of liquidity and, depending upon the amount involved
and our liquidity requirements, it could have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our operations, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
In
order to remain competitive, we must continuously develop new products or enhancements to our existing products. Consumer preferences
for games are usually cyclical and difficult to predict, and even the most successful content remains popular for only a limited period
of time unless refreshed or otherwise enhanced. These products or enhancements may not be well-received by consumers, even if well-reviewed
and of high quality. Further, competitors may develop content that imitates or competes with our best-selling games, potentially taking
sales away from us or reducing our ability to charge the same prices we have historically charged for our products. These competing products
may take a larger share of consumer spending than anticipated, which could cause product sales to fall below expectations. If we do not
continue to develop consistently high-quality and well-received games, if our marketing fails to resonate with our consumers, if consumers
lose interest in a genre of games we produce, if the use of cross-promotion within our mobile games to retain consumers becomes less
effective, or if our competitors develop more successful products or offer competitive products at lower prices, our revenues and profit
margins could decline. For example, our NASCAR 21: Ignition game released in October 2021 was generally not well-received and, as a result,
our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were adversely affected due to lower game sales. Further, a failure by us
to develop a high-quality product, or our development of a product that is otherwise
not well-received, could potentially result in additional
expenditures to respond to consumer demands, harm our reputation, and increase
the likelihood that our future products will not be well-
received. The increased importance of downloadable content to our business
amplifies these risks, as downloadable content for poorly-received
games typically generates lower-than-expected sales. In addition,
our own best-selling products could compete with our other games, reducing
sales for those other games.
Consumer
expectations regarding the quality, performance and integrity of our products and services are high. Consumers may be critical of our
brands, games, services and/or business practices for a wide variety of reasons, and such negative reactions may not be foreseeable or
within our control to manage effectively. For example, if our games or services, such as our creation and organization of esports leagues
and events, do not function as consumers expect, whether because they fail to function as advertised or otherwise, our sales may suffer,suffer.
as was the case with our NASCAR 21: Ignition game as discussed above. If any of these issues occur, consumers may stop playing the game
and may be less likely to return to the game as often in the future,
which may negatively impact our business.
Additionally,
delays in product releases or disruptions following the commercial release of one or more new products could negatively impact our business,
our revenues and reputation and could cause our results of operations to be materially different from expectations. This is particularly
the case where we seek to release certain products in conjunction with key events, such as the beginning of a racing season or a major
racing event. If we fail to release our products in a timely manner, or if we are unable to continue to improve our existing games by
adding features and functionality that will encourage continued engagement with these games, our business may be negatively impacted.
Moreover, if we or our third-party developers experience unanticipated development delays, financial difficulties, or additional costs,
for example as a result of the COVID-19a pandemic or the current labor supply constraints affecting many industries, we may not be able
to release
titles according to our schedule and at budgeted costs. There can be no assurance that our products will be sufficiently successful so
so that we can recoup these costs or make a profit on these products.
We
may not be successful in identifying and implementing one or more strategic alternatives for our business, and any strategic alternative
that we may consummate could have material adverse consequences for us.
Due
to the uncertainty surrounding our ability to raise funding in the form of potential Capital Financing, and in light of our
liquidity position and anticipated future funding requirements, we continue to explore other strategic alternatives and potential
options for our business (a “Strategic Transaction”), including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of certain of
our assets in addition to the sale of our NASCAR License to iRacing on October 3, 2023 or the sale of Traxion in April 2024 or entering into collaborations or a merger. Any Strategic Transaction that we
consummate could harm our business, brand, operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurances that any particular
Strategic Transaction, or series of Strategic Transactions, will be pursued, successfully consummated, lead to increased shareholder
value, or achieve the anticipated results.
Any
Strategic Transaction could involve a number of other risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to:
Additionally,
even if we are successful in implementing one or more Strategic Transactions, we will continue to require additional funding and/or further
cost reduction measures in order to continue operations, which includes further restructuring of our business and operations.
Our
business is subject to economic, market and geopolitical conditions, which are beyond our control. In particular, our
product purchases are predominately driven by discretionary spending by consumers. We believe that consumer spending is influenced by
general economic conditions and the availability of discretionary income. This makes our products particularly sensitive to general economic
conditions and economic cycles as consumers are generally more willing to make discretionary purchases, including purchases of products
like ours, during periods in which favorable economic conditions prevail. Adverse economic, market and geopolitical conditions, such
as a prolonged U.S. or international general economic downturn, whether or not caused by the COVID-19a pandemic or geopolitical issues,
including the ongoing wars between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas, could result in further periods of increased inflation,
unemployment levels, tax rates, interest rates, energy prices, or declining consumer confidence, which would also reduce consumer spending.
Reduced consumer spending may in the future result in reduced demand for our products and may also require increased selling and promotional
expenses, which has had and may continue to have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition,
during periods of relative economic weakness, our consolidated credit risk, reflecting our counterparty dealings with distributors, customers,
capital providers and others may increase, perhaps materially so. Furthermore, uncertainty and adverse changes in the economy could also
increase the risk of material losses on our investments, costs associated with developing and publishing our products, the cost and availability
of sources of financing, and our exposure to material losses from bad debts, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and operating results. If economic conditions worsen, our business, financial condition and operating results
could be adversely affected.
We
follow a franchise model and a significant portion of our revenues has historically been derived from products based on a relatively
small number of popular franchises, including our NASCARLe products,Mans Ultimate franchise, which havenow historically accountedaccounts for the majority of our revenue.
revenue. For the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, revenues associated with our NASCARLe Mans Ultimate franchise accounted for approximately
52%78% and 72%34% of our total revenue, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, sales through our threetwo main distribution
channels accounted for approximately 86% and 46% of our consolidated revenues, respectively. Two other distribution channels accounted
for 40% of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, sales through our two main
distribution channels accounted for approximately 86%76% and 83% of our consolidated revenues, respectively. No other distribution
channel accounted for 10% or more of our revenues in those periods. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, sales through
our three main distribution channels accounted for approximately 77% and 89%45% of our accounts receivable, respectively. NoOne other distribution channel
accounted accounted
for 10% or more12% of our accounts receivable inas thoseof periods.December 31, 2025 and two other distribution channels accounted for 32% of our accounts
receivable for the year ended December 31, 2024. A reduction in sales from or loss of these distribution channels would have a material
material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Due
to this dependence on a limited number of franchises, the failure to achieve anticipated results by one or more products based on
these franchises, or the loss of any franchise, could negatively impact our business. For example, with the consummation of the sale
of our NASCAR License to iRacing on October 3, 2023, we are no longer the official video game developer and publisher for the NASCAR
video game racing franchise and no longer have the exclusive right to create and organize esports leagues and events for NASCAR
using our NASCAR racing video games. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2024 we no longer had the right to use
the NASCAR brand for our products other than a limited non-exclusive right and license to, among other things, sell NASCAR games and
DLCs that were in our product portfolio through December 31, 2024, and since that date we have no further right to use the NASCAR brand for our products. Similarly, our BTCC license agreement and INDYCAR
license agreements were terminated by the respective licensors, effective November 2023. We believe this will require us to
modify our existing business model and significantly alter the risk profile relating to our operations. As a result, we may
encounter difficulties or challenges in continuing operations due to the sale of our NASCAR License and the termination of our BTCC
license agreement and INDYCAR license agreements, and our cash flows and results of
operations will likely be materially adversely impacted as we anticipate no more revenues to be generated from our NASCAR
products.
Due to this dependence on a limited number of franchises, the failure to achieve anticipated results by one or more products based on these franchises, or the loss of any franchise, especially our two main distributors, could negatively impact our business. Additionally, if the popularity of a franchise declines, we may have to write off the unrecovered portion of the underlying intellectual property assets, which could negatively impact our business. In the future, we expect this trend to continue with a relatively limited number of franchises producing a disproportionately high percentage of our revenues and profits.
Most
of our products and services are based on or incorporate intellectual property owned by others. For example, we have obtained exclusive
exclusive licenses to develop multi-platform games, as well as to create and organize esports leagues and events, for the 24 Hours
of Le Mans race
and the WEC. Competition for these licenses and rights is intense and could result in increased minimum guarantees
and royalty rates
payable to licensors and developers, which would significantly increase our costs and reduce our profitability.
Furthermore, if we are
unable to maintain these licenses and rights or obtain additional licenses or rights with significant
commercial value, our ability to
develop successful and engaging games and services may be adversely affected and our revenue,
profitability and cash flows may decline
significantly. For example, as discussed elsewhere in this Report, we sold our NASCAR
License to iRacing on October 3, 2023 and our cash flows and results of operations will likely be materially adversely impacted as
we anticipate no more revenues to be generated by our existing NASCAR products subsequent to December 31, 2024. Additionally, our
BTCC license agreement and INDYCAR
license agreements were terminated by the respective
licensors, effective November 2023.
We could be
subject to unanticipated adverse effects arising from our inability to fully repay Luminis International B.V. and Technology In Business
B.V., the sellers of Studio397, relating to our acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Studio397 in April 2021.
On April 20,
2021 we acquired 100% of the share capital of Studio397 from Luminis International B.V. and Technology In Business B.V.
(collectively, the “Sellers”). The purchase price originally consisted of a cash payment at closing and payments due at
a later date. To date, we have not paid all of the payments due subsequent to the closing. Pursuant to the terms of agreements that
we entered into, we are required to pay interest on the amounts owed but unpaid. The remaining balance owed as of December 31,
2024, was $0.6 million with unpaid accrued interest of $0.3 million. As security for payment of the amounts owed, we pledged 20% of
the share capital of Studio397 (the “Pledged Shares”) to the Sellers. The terms of the sale provide that, in the event
we fail to make any payment due subsequent to the closing, the Sellers would become entitled to exercise the voting rights and
receive any dividends or distributions associated with the Pledged Shares. On February 20, 2025, we entered into a Settlement
Agreement with the Sellers, pursuant to which and subject to the satisfaction of certain payment conditions, we will pay the Sellers
in full satisfaction of all amounts due, the sum of $750,000 payable in five (5) equal installment payments of $150,000, commencing
on March 5, 2025 and thereafter continuing on April 2, 2025, May 5, 2025, June 4, 2025 and July 3, 2025. We made the first
installment payment of $150,000 by March 5, 2025. If we default on any payment, the Sellers could exercise their rights with respect
to the Pledged Shares, including the right to claim a share of Studio397’s profits, which represented approximately 11% of our
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024. As shareholders of Studio397, the Sellers would have the right to compel us to call a
meeting of the shareholders of Studio397 for the purpose of discussing a proposal to effect the public sale of all assets owned by
Studio397, including software. In addition to such rights, the Sellers would further be entitled to retain any payments that we make pursuant
to the Settlement Agreement.
We
plan to derive significant revenues from the distribution of certain of our future products on third-party mobile and web platforms,
such as the Apple App Store, Steam, and the Google Play Store, and Facebook.Store. These platforms may also serve as significant online distribution platforms
platforms for, and/or provide other services critical for the operation of, a number of our games. If these platforms modify their current
or future
discovery mechanisms, communication channels available to developers, operating systems, terms of service or other policies
(including
fees), or they develop their own competitive offerings, our business could be negatively impacted. Additionally, if these
platform providers
are required to change how they label free-to-play games or take payment for in-app purchases or change how the personal information
information of consumers is made available to developers, our business could be negatively impacted.
Many
elements of our business are unique, evolving and relatively unproven. In particular, our esports business and prospects will depend
on the
continuing development of live streaming of competitive esports gaming. During 2025 and 2024, we did not generate any revenue
from esports and there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate revenue from esports in the future. The market for
esports and amateur online gaming competitions
is relatively new and rapidly developing and is subject to significant challenges.
Our Ouresport business relieswill rely upon our ability to cultivate
and grow an active gamer community, and our ability to successfully
monetize such community, including, for example, through tournament
fees, subscriptions for our esports gaming services, and
advertising and sponsorship opportunities. In addition, our continued growth
of our esports business depends, in part, on our
ability to respond to constant changes in the esports gaming industry, including rapid technological evolution,
continued shifts in
gamer trends and demands, frequent introductions of new games and titles and the constant emergence of new industry
standards and
practices. Developing and integrating new games, titles, content, products, services or infrastructure could be expensive and
and time-consuming, and these efforts may not yield the benefits we expect to achieve. We cannot assure you that we will succeed in any
of these aspects or that the esports gaming industry will continuegenerate to grow as rapidly as it hasrevenue in the past.future or grow.
We
plan to continue to generate a portion of our revenues from advertising and sponsorship during our esports events. If we fail to attract
more advertisers and sponsors to our gaming platform, tournaments or competitions, our revenues may be adversely affected.
We
plan to continue to generate a portion of our revenues from advertising and sponsorship during our esports events as online
viewership viewership
of our esports gaming offerings expand. Our revenues from advertising and sponsorship will partly depend on the continual
development of the
online advertising industry and advertisers’ willingness to allocate budgets to online advertising in the
esports gaming industry.
In addition, companies that decide to advertise or promote online may utilize more established methods or
channels, such as more established
internet portals or search engines, over advertising on our gaming platform. If the online
advertising and sponsorship market does not
continue to grow, or if we are unable to capture and retain a sufficient share of that
market, our ability to increase our current level
of advertising and sponsorship revenue and our profitability and prospects may be
materially and adversely affected.
Because
we are a consumer brand, we rely on marketing and advertising to increase brand visibility with potential customers. We currently advertise
through a blend of direct and indirect advertising channels, including through activities on Facebook, Twitter,X (formerly Twitter), Twitch,
YouTube and other
online social networks, online advertising, public relations activity, print and broadcast advertising, coordinated
in-store and industry
promotions (including merchandising and point of purchase displays), participation in cooperative advertising programs,
direct response
vehicles, and product sampling through demonstration software distributed through the Internet or the digital online
services provided
by our partners. If we are unable to recover our marketing costs, or if our broad marketing campaigns are not successful
or are terminated,
it could have a material adverse effect on our growth, results of operations and financial condition.
We
are subject to a number of foreign and domestic laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the Internet. In
addition, addition,
laws and regulations relating to user privacy, electronic contracts and communications, mobile communications, data
collection, retention,
consumer protection, and publishing activities, including production and delivery of content, advertising,
localization, and information
security have been adopted or are being considered for adoption by many jurisdictions and countries
throughout the world. These laws,
including the General Data Protection Regulation and the California Consumer Privacy Act, which have restrictedmay
restrict our ability to gather
and use data about our users, and could harm our business by limiting the products and services we
can offer consumers or the manner in which
we advertise and offer them. Data privacy, data protection, localization, security and
consumer-protection laws are evolving, and the interpretation
and application of these laws in the United States (including
compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act), Europe (including
compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation), and
elsewhere often are uncertain, contradictory and changing. It is possible
that these laws may be interpreted or applied in a manner
that is adverse to us or otherwise inconsistent with our practices, which could
result in litigation, regulatory investigations and
potential legal liability or require us to change our practices in a manner adverse
to our business. As a result, our reputation and
brand may be harmed, we could incur substantial costs, and we could lose both gamers
and revenue. Furthermore, the costs of
compliance with these laws may increase in the future as a result of changes in interpretation. As our business expands to include
new uses or collection of data that are subject to privacy or security regulations, our compliance requirements and costs will
increase, and we may be subject to increased regulatory scrutiny. The online gaming industry in particular has attracted regulatory
attention regarding issues such as in-game purchases, age verification, and the protection of younger players, and additional
regulation in these areas could impact our business practices or product offerings. Any failure on our part to comply with these
laws or the application of these laws in an unanticipated manner may harm our business and
result in penalties or significant legal
liability.
In
the course of our business, we may collect, process, store and use gamer and other information, including personally identifiable information,
passwords and credit card information. Our security controls, policies and practices may not be able to prevent the improper or unauthorized
access, acquisition or disclosure of such information. The unauthorized access, acquisition or disclosure of this information, or a perception
that we do not adequately secure this information, could result in legal liability, costly remedial measures, governmental and regulatory
investigations, harm our profitability and reputation and cause our financial results to be materially affected. In addition, third-party
vendors and business partners receive access to information that we collect. These vendors and business partners may not prevent data
security breaches with respect to the information we provide them or fully enforce our policies, contractual obligations and disclosures
regarding the collection, use, storage, transfer and retention of personal data. A data security breach of one of our vendors or business
partners could cause reputational harm to them and/or negatively impact our credibility to our gamer community.community as well as subject us to significant legal and financial exposure.
We
rely on data servers, including those owned or controlled by third parties, to enable our customers to download our games and other downloadable
content, to access our online gaming platform, and to operate other products with online functionality. Events such as limited hardware
failure, any broad-based catastrophic server malfunction, a significant intrusion by hackers that circumvents security measures, or a
failure of disaster recovery services would likely interrupt the functionality of our games with online services and could result in
a loss of sales for games and related services. An extended interruption of service could materially adversely affect our business, financial
condition and operating results. See the risk factor titled “—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—A significant disruption in service
on our website or platforms could damage our reputation and result in a loss of traffic and visitors, which could harm our business,
brand, operating results and financial condition” for additional information.
In
February 2022, Russian forces launched significant military actions against Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region
remains ongoing. We have no way to predict the progress or outcome of the current situation in Ukraine, as the conflict and governmental
reactions are rapidly developing and beyond our control. Potential impacts related to the conflict include further market disruptions,
including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, supply chain and logistics disruptions, adverse global
economic conditions resulting from escalating geopolitical tensions, volatility and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and
interest rates, inflationary pressures on raw materials and heightened cybersecurity threats. Additionally, in September 2022, we transitioned
from using development staff in Russia to using development staff in other countries, including the Republic
of Georgia, for game development. Any technical, operational or other difficulties related to the transition away from using Russian
development staff could result in, among other things, increased costs, disruptions to our operations and delays in the release of our
game titles. The termination of the employment arrangements with our Russian development staff could also cause us to incur certain liabilities
and severance obligations under local labor regulations, which may include payment of up to three months’ salary for each staff
member terminated. Any of the foregoing could adversely impact our business, financial condition, liquidity and/or results of
operations in various manners.
Natural
disasters, cyber-incidents, weather events, wildfires, power disruptions, telecommunications failures, public health outbreaks, such
as the COVID-19a pandemic, failed upgrades of existing systems or migrations to new systems, acts of terrorism, acts of war, including
the ongoing wars between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas, geopolitical and social turmoil or other events could cause
outages, disruptions and/or degradations of our infrastructure, including our or our partners’ information technology and network
systems, a failure in our ability to conduct normal business operations, or the closure of public spaces in which players engage with
our games and services. The health and safety of our employees, suppliers, business partners and others could also be affected, which
may prevent us from executing our business strategies or cause a decrease in consumer demand for our products and services. For example,
several of our key locations experienced temporary closures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, throughout the initial
outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, several retailers experienced reduced operating hours and/or other restrictions as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic, which negatively impacted the sales of our products from such retailers primarily in 2020 and 2021. Further, system
redundancy may be ineffective and our disaster recovery and business continuity planning may not be sufficient for all eventualities.
Such failures, disruptions, closures, or an inability to conduct normal business operations could also prevent access to our products,
services or online platforms selling our products and services, cause delays or interruptions in our product or live services offerings,
allow breaches of data security or result in the loss of critical data. An event that results in the disruption or degradation of any
of our critical business functions or information technology systems and harms our ability to conduct normal business operations or causes
a decrease in consumer demand for our products and services could materially impact our reputation and brand, financial condition and
operating results.
Driven
Lifestyle currently owns all of the shares of our Class B common stock and 1,480,3851,214,699 shares of our Class A common stock, which
together represents approximately 83.28%66.0% of the combined voting power of both classes of our common stock as of March 20,6, 2025.2026. Our
Our Class B common stock has ten times the voting power per share of our Class A common stock. As long as Driven Lifestyle continues to
to control a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock, it will generally be able to determine the outcome of all
corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors. Even if Driven Lifestyle were to
control less than a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock, it may be able to influence the outcome of such
corporate actions so long as it owns a significant portion of our common stock. In the event Driven Lifestyle or its affiliates
relinquish beneficial ownership of any of the DL Initial Class A Shares at any time, one share of Class B common stock held by
Driven Lifestyle will be cancelled for each such DL Initial Class A Share no longer beneficially owned by Driven Lifestyle or its
affiliates. If, however, Driven Lifestyle does not dispose of its DL Initial Class A Shares, it could remain our controlling
stockholder for an extended period of time or indefinitely. If Driven Lifestyle were to sell all of its shares of Class A common stock, and all shares of Class B common stock
are cancelled, then any stockholder that acquires all of the shares of Class A common stock sold by Driven Lifestyle would have significant
influence over our Company, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially
all of our assets, and if Driven Lifestyle’s Class A common stock were sold to anyone already holding a large number of shares
of Class A common stock, the sale could result in a change of control.
If
we are no longer controlled by or affiliated with Driven Lifestyle, we may be unable to continue to benefit from that relationship, which
may adversely affect our operations and have a material adverse effect on us and our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Driven
Lifestyle is one of the leading global motorsport and automotive data-driven digital platforms that owns and operates a unique collection
of digital media motorsport and automotive brands. We have historically relied, in part, on Driven Lifestyle to provide digital access
to its audience to market, communicate and engage with users regarding our product offerings and services. In June 2023, Driven Lifestyle
sold a portion of its media business and, as a result, we no longer have direct access to some of the digital audience of Driven Lifestyle
prior to such sale, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, we believe
our relationship with Driven Lifestyle has historically helped us to secure our current and former joint ventures, game development and/or
esports related rights for various racing series, including for NASCAR, Le Mans, BTCC and INDYCAR. In the event that we are no longer
controlled by or affiliated with Driven Lifestyle, our ability to secure future joint ventures, game development and/or esports related
rights for other racing series may be adversely impacted.
If
Driven Lifestyle sells a controlling interest in our Company to a third party in a private transaction, you may not realize any change-of-control
premium on shares of our Class A common stock. Further, we may become subject to the control of a presently unknown third party in such
instance or in the event Driven Lifestyle pledges a controlling interest in our Company that is foreclosed upon.
Driven
Lifestyle has the ability, should it choose to do so, to sell some or all of its shares of our Class A common stock in a privately negotiated
transaction, which, if sufficient in size, could result in a change of control of our Company. The ability of Driven Lifestyle to privately
sell its shares of our Class A common stock, with no requirement for a concurrent offer to be made to acquire all of the outstanding
shares of our Class A common stock, could prevent you from realizing any change-of-control premium on your shares of our Class A common
stock that may otherwise accrue to Driven Lifestyle on its private sale of our Class A common stock. Additionally, if Driven Lifestyle
either privately sells a controlling interest in our Company, or pledges such shares in the future and secured parties foreclose on the
shares, then we may become subject to the control of a presently unknown third party. Such third party may have conflicts of interest
with those of other stockholders. In addition, if Driven Lifestyle sells a controlling interest in our Company to a third party, any
outstanding indebtedness may be subject to acceleration and our commercial agreements and relationships could be impacted, all of which
may adversely affect our ability to run our business as described herein and may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations
and financial condition.
As
of December 31, 2024,2025, we had intangible assets, net of $3.4$3.8 million. We are required under accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) to review our intangible assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate
the carrying value may not be recoverable. Some factors that may be considered events or changes in circumstances that would require
our intangible assets to be reviewed for impairment include, among other, general economic conditions, industry and market considerations,
cost factors, overall financial performance, entity-specific factors such as changes to our product road map and restructuring changes,
and changes in our share price. We may be required to record non-cash impairment charges during any period in which we determine that
our intangible assets are impaired, which has had, and in the future could have, a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
For example, for the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded impairment of intangible assets of $4.0 million.
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a 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 financial statements will not be prevented or
detected detected
and corrected on a timely basis. In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the yearyears ended
December 31,
2025 and 2024, we identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that continue to
exist. The material
weaknesses identified relate to (i) our failure to design and maintain effective monitoring procedures and
controls to evaluate the effectiveness
of our individual control activities and; (ii) a lack of sufficient number of personnel with an
appropriate level of accounting knowledge,
training and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters
timely; timely.and (iii) documentation of certain complex accounting analyses and significant accounting positions that were not
contemporaneously reviewed independently of the preparer.
We
may remain an emerging growth company until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our
IPO,IPO (December 31, 2026), though we may cease to be an emerging growth company earlier under certain circumstances, including if (i) we have $1.235
billion billion
or more in annual revenue in any fiscal year, (ii) we become a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in Rule
12b-2 under
the Exchange Act; or (iii) we issue more than $1.0 billion of non- convertible debt over a three-year period.
We
may not successfully manage the transitions associated with certain of our executive officers, which could have an adverse impact on
us.
On
November 3, 2023, Jason Potter resigned as our Chief Financial Officer, effective as of November 8, 2023. Effective November 8,
2023, Stanley Beckley was appointed as our Interim Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Beckley was appointed as our permanent Chief
Financial Officer on May 16, 2024. Additionally, on April
14, 2023, the Company’s board of directors determined to terminate Dmitry Kozko’s employment with the Company as its Chief
Executive Officer without “Cause” (as such term is defined in Mr. Kozko’s employment agreement) effective as of
April 19, 2023. In connection with Mr. Kozko’s termination, the Company’s board of directors appointed Stephen Hood as
the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer and President. Leadership transitions may be inherently difficult to manage, and
inadequate transitions to a new Chief Executive Officer and/or a permanent Chief Financial Officer may cause disruption within the
Company. In addition, our financial performance and ability to meet operational goals and strategic plans may be adversely impacted,
particularly if we are unable to attract and retain a qualified candidate for any vacant executive office in a
timely manner. This may also impact our ability to retain and hire other key members of management.
On April 15, 2025, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Staff stating that based on our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2025, Nasdaq had determined that we complied with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. Nasdaq will continue to monitor our ongoing compliance with the continued listing requirements for The Nasdaq Capital Market and, if at the time of our next periodic report we do not evidence compliance we may be subject to delisting. As of December 31, 2025, our stockholders’ equity was $7,581,231.
Nasdaq has proposed that the SEC adopt a rule change which would require Nasdaq listed companies to maintain a minimum market capitalization of $5 million, with immediate suspension and delisting upon thirty (30) consecutive business days of non-compliance. Market capitalization is a function of trading price multiplied by outstanding shares and is therefore inherently volatile. Although we have direct control over the number of securities issued, we do not have control over our stock price. Our market capitalization could fall below $5 million due to a decrease in our stock price.
In
accordance with NASDAQ rules, we had until January 6, 2025 to submit a plan to the NASDAQ Staff to regain compliance with the
Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, which plan we submitted by such date. On March 3, 2025, NASDAQ notified us that based on NASDAQ’s review
of the materials we submitted to NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Staff has determined to grant us an extension to regain compliance with the Stockholders’
Equity Requirement, until April 14, 2025, subject to us regaining and evidencing compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement
by such date. In the event we do not regain and evidence compliance with the Stockholders’
Equity Requirement by April 14, 2025, Nasdaq’s staff will provide written notification to us that our securities may be subject
to delisting.
To
regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, we plan to negotiate and implement equity financing transactions and
negotiate a reduction or extinguishment of our purchase commitment liabilities; provided that there can be no assurances that such financing
transactions and reductions of our purchase commitment liabilities will be consummated or that they will achieve their intended effects.
Any
delisting of our Class A common stock from NASDAQ,Nasdaq, including as a result of our inability to regainmaintain compliance with the Stockholders’
Equity Requirement, could adversely affect our ability to attract new investors, reduce the liquidity of our outstanding shares of Class
A common stock, reduce our ability to raise additional capital, reduce the price at which our Class A common stock trades, result in
negative publicity and increase the transaction costs inherent in trading such shares with overall negative effects for our stockholders.
We cannot assure you that our Class A common stock, if delisted from NASDAQ,Nasdaq, will be listed on another national securities exchange or
quoted on an over-the-counter quotation system. In addition, delisting of our Class A common stock could deter broker-dealers from making
a market in or otherwise seeking or generating interest in our Class A common stock and might deter certain institutions and persons
from investing in our securities at all. For these reasons and others, delisting could adversely affect our business, financial condition
and liquidity.
On March 6, 2026, Driven Lifestyle and Mike Zoi announced in a Schedule 13D that it had entered a Rule 10b5-1 plan that specifies that 1,480,385 shares of our Class A common stock would be sold at market by the broker listed in the Rule 10b5-1 Plan starting after 31 days from the adoption date of the Rule 10b5-1 Plan. Between February 20, 2026, and March 6, 2026, Driven Lifestyle sold 265,686 shares of our Class A common stock.
We have only a minimal number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for equity award grants under the Motorsport Games Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
As of the date of this Report, we have a minimal number of shares of Class A common stock available for the granting of equity awards under the Plan. Nasdaq requires that, subject to certain limited exceptions, equity awards be granted to employees and directors pursuant to a Plan approved by the stockholders. We have sought stockholder approval of an increase in the number of shares available for grant pursuant to awards under the Plan and have been unsuccessful in obtaining approval of such an increase. Unless we obtain approval of such an increase, we will be unable to compensate employees and directors with equity, which puts us at a competitive disadvantage and forces us to use more cash for compensation than we otherwise would.
We
have never declared nor paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the
operation operation
and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. In
addition, the Citibank Credit Agreement imposes certain limits on our ability to pay dividends. Accordingly, investors
must rely on
sales of their Class A common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future
gains on
their investments.
We
are subject to a requirement, pursuant to Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to conduct an annual review and evaluation of our
internal control over financial reporting and furnish a report by management on, among other things, our assessment of the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting each fiscal year. However, for as long as we are an emerging growth company or a non-accelerated
filer,smaller reporting company, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b). Ensuring that we have adequate internal control over financial reporting in place
so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that must be evaluated frequently.
Establishing and maintaining these internal controls will be costly and may divert management’s attention.
The shutdown of the U.S. federal government may adversely affect our business.
A prolonged or recurring shutdown of the U.S. federal government may adversely affect our business operations and regulatory compliance. During such shutdowns, while the SEC’s EDGAR system remains operational, the unavailability of SEC staff to review filings, issue comments, or declare registration statements effective may delay our ability to complete public offerings, respond to comment letters, or obtain timely regulatory approvals. These delays could impact our access to capital markets, hinder strategic transactions, and create uncertainty around our disclosure obligations. Additionally, the lack of interpretive guidance or exemptive relief during a shutdown may increase legal and compliance risks. We continue to monitor developments and adjust our regulatory strategies accordingly, but there can be no assurance that future shutdowns will not materially affect our operations or financial condition.

We
develop and publish multi-platform racing video games including for game consoles, personal computers (PCs) and mobile platforms through
various retail and digital channels, including full-game and downloadable content (“DLC”). We have obtained the official
licenses to develop multi-platform games for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race and the WEC. We are also striving to become a leader in organizing
and facilitating esports tournaments, competitions, and events for our licensed racing games.
On February 20, 2024, we released Le Mans Ultimate on PC in early access. Le Mans Ultimate is the official game of the WEC and 24 Hours of Le Mans, and is the first officially licensed and dedicated 24 Hours of Le Mans video game release in over twenty years. On July 22, 2025, we released Le Mans Ultimate Version 1.0. This milestone marks the completion of the title’s Early Access phase and ushers in a new era of continued development and expansion for the official game of the FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
On
October 3, 2023, we sold our NASCAR licensed rights under that certain Second Amended and Restated Distribution and License Agreement
with NASCAR Team Properties (“NTP”) (the “NASCAR License”) to iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations, LLC. Prior
to the sale of our NASCAR License, we had been the official video game developer and publisher for the NASCAR video game racing franchise
and had the exclusive right to create and organize esports leagues and events for NASCAR using our NASCAR racing video games, in each
case, subject to certain limited exceptions. Concurrently with the sale of our NASCAR License, we entered into an agreement with NTP
pursuant to which we had a limited non-exclusive right and license to, among other things, sell our NASCAR games and DLCs that were
in our product portfolio through December 31, 2024 (the “NASCAR New Limited License”). For fiscal years 2024 and 2023, 52%
and 72% of our total revenue, respectively, was generated from sales of our NASCAR racing video games.
On
October 26, 2023, BARC (TOCA) Limited (“BARC”), the exclusive promoter of the British
Touring Car Championship (the “BTCC”), delivered notice to the Company terminating the license agreement between the
parties relating to the Company’s development of video games and the organization and facilitation of esports events for the BTCC
(the “BTCC License”), effective as of November 3, 2023. As a result, the Company
no longer has the right to develop and publish the video games for the BTCC racing series or to create and organize its esports leagues
and events.
Furthermore,
on November 8, 2023, INDYCAR, LLC delivered notice to the Company terminating the license agreements between the parties relating to
the Company’s development of video games and the organization and facilitation of esports events for the INDYCAR racing series
(collectively, the “INDYCAR License”), effective immediately. As a result, the
Company no longer has the right to develop and publish the video games for the INDYCAR racing series or to create and organize its esports
leagues and events.
We are required to continually meet NASDAQ’s listing requirements, including, among other things, a minimum
stockholders’ equity requirement of at least $2,500,000 for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). As described in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed
with the SEC on November 22, 2024, we received a deficiency letter from NASDAQ’s Listing Qualifications Department (the “NASDAQ
Staff”) on November 20, 2024 notifying us that we were not in compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. In our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we reported stockholders’ equity of $2,170,911, which was
below the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. Additionally, we did not meet either of the alternative Nasdaq continued listing standards
under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, which include (i) a market value of listed securities of at least $35 million or (ii) net income of $500,000
from continuing operations in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years. As
of December 31, 2024, our stockholders’ equity was $1,226,002. In accordance with NASDAQ rules, we had until January 6, 2025 to
submit a plan to the NASDAQ Staff to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, which plan we submitted by such
date. If the plan is accepted, NASDAQ can grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Letter for the Company to
evidence compliance.
Due
to the uncertainty surrounding our ability to raise funding, and in light of our liquidity position and anticipated future funding
requirements, we continue to explore other strategic alternatives and potential options for our business, including, but not limited
to, the sale or licensing of certain of our assets, collaborations and/or merger in addition to the sale of our NASCAR License and Traxion, which was our motorsport and racing games community content platform. If
any such additional strategic alternative is executed, it is expected it would help to improve our working capital position and
reduce overhead expenditures, thereby lowering our expected future cash-burn, and provide some short-term liquidity relief.
Nonetheless, even if we are successful in implementing one or more additional strategic alternatives, we will continue to require
additional funding and/or further cost reduction measures in order to continue operations, which includes further restructuring of
our business and operations. There are no assurances that we will be successful in implementing any additional strategic plans for
the sale or licensing of our assets, or any other strategic alternative, which may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions
beyond our control.
Restructuring
Initiatives
As
previously disclosed, the Company announced an organizational restructuring program on September 8, 2022 (the “2022 Restructuring
Program”) designed to reduce the Company’s marketing, general and administrative expenses, improve the Company’s profitability
and maximize efficiency, cash flow and liquidity, with a goal of achieving annualized savings of $4 million by the end of fiscal year
2023. The Company achieved $2.5 million of this cost reduction target by the end of 2022, and as of December 31, 2023, the Company increased
its savings under the 2022 Restructuring Program to $6.7 million, while having incurred restructuring costs of approximately $1.3 million.
In
addition to the 2022 Restructuring Program, on October 29, 2023, the Company announced a further restructuring of its business due
to its ongoing liquidity constraints. The announcement confirmed the closure of the Company’s Australian development studio
and resulted in a reduction of the Company’s workforce by approximately 40 employees, the majority of whom were based in
Australia and the United Kingdom, representing approximately 40% of the Company’s global workforce at that time. The Company recorded a
restructuring expense of approximately $0.5 million related to the workforce reduction, primarily consisting of severance and
redundancy costs, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023. The implementation of the workforce reduction, including cash payments,
was substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023.
On
October 3, 2024, the Company implemented additional measures intended to continue to bring down its year-over-year operating expense
through a reduction of the Company’s workforce primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom by approximately 23
employees and contractors. The workforce reduction impacted approximately 38% of total employees worldwide. The Company recorded a
restructuring charge related to the workforce reduction, primarily consisting of severance and redundancy costs of approximately
$0.2 million. The Company recognized and paid out the majority of the restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2024.
The
Company continues to seek to reduce its monthly net cash-burn by reducing its cost base through maintaining and enhancing cost control
initiatives and is evaluating the structure of its business for additional changes in order to improve both its near-term and long-term
liquidity position.
We
continually evaluate our planned product release schedule and modify the timing of upcoming products based on developments in our business,
or if we believe it will result in a better consumer experience. The sale of our NASCAR License and the termination of our BTCC License
and INDYCAR License, as disclosed elsewhere in this Report, has impacted our long-term product release schedule as we will no longer
be producing NASCAR, BTCC and INDYCAR titles moving forward.
As
we continue to evaluate the cost saving initiatives and explore other strategic alternatives and potential options for our business,
including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of certain of our assets, further adjustments to our product roadmap may be required.
WeIn
derivethe past, we derived most of our revenue from the sale of products made for PCs and video game consoles manufactured by third parties,
such as Sony
Interactive Entertainment Inc.’s (“Sony”) PlayStation and Microsoft Corporation’s (“Microsoft”)
Xbox Xbox
consoles, which comprised approximately 45%2% and 62%45% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, the sale of products for Microsoft Windows via Steam comprised approximately 45%64% and
27%44% of our total revenue, respectively, and the sale of products forvia mobile platformsGenba comprised approximately 2%18% and 4%1% for the years
ended December
31, 20242025 and 2023.2024. We expect to derive the vast majority of our revenues via Steam and Genba during
the next twelve months. The success
of our business is dependent upon consumer acceptance of video game console/PC platforms
and continued growth in the installed base of
these platforms. When new hardware platforms are introduced, such as those released by
Sony and Microsoft in November 2020, demand for interactive entertainment used on older platforms typically declines, which may negatively
affect our business during the market transition to the new consoles. The latest generation of Sony and Microsoft consoles provide “backwards
compatibility” (i.e., the ability to play games for the previous generation of consoles), which could mitigate the risk of such
a decline. However, we cannot be certain how backwards compatibility will affect demand for our products.
OurPrior
to January 1, 2025, our NASCAR products have historically accounted for the majority of our revenue. However, we have worked to diversify
our product offerings
and revenue from other sources by introducing titles such as KartKraft, rFactor 2, Le Mans Ultimate andto the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual esports event to
our portfolio of product
offerings and thereby reducing our dependency on the NASCAR franchise as our substantially sole source of revenue. Revenues
For example, revenues associated with our NASCARLe Mans Ultimate franchise accounted for approximately 52%78% and 72%34% of our total revenue for the years ended
ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively. FollowingWe theaim saleto ofexplore ourways NASCARto Licensecapitalize on new trends and the termination of the NASCAR New Limited
License, which allowed us to sell our NASCAR games and DLCs that were indiversify our product portfolio through December 31, 2024, we do not anticipate
any more revenues to be generated by NASCAR products.mix.
Retail
Distribution
Our
physical gaming products are sold through a distribution network with an exclusive partner who specializes in the distribution of games
through mass-market retailers (e.g., Target, Wal-Mart), consumer electronics stores (e.g., Best Buy), discount warehouses, game specialty
stores (e.g., GameStop) and other online retail stores (e.g., Amazon). Due to our modified product
release schedule, we recognized minimal revenue from sales of physical gaming products for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Players
increasingly purchase our games as digital downloads, as opposed to purchasing physical discs. All of our titles that are available through
retailers as packaged goods products are also available through direct digital download. For the yearsyear ended December 31, 20242025, andsubstantially 2023,all of our revenue from sales of video games for PCs was through digital channels. For the year ended
December 31, 2024,
approximately 88% of our revenue from sales of video games for game consoles and PCs was through digital channels.
We believe this trend
of increasing direct digital downloads is primarily due to benefits relating to convenience and accessibility that
digital downloads
provide. In addition, as part of our digital business strategy, we aim to drive ongoing engagement and incremental
revenue from recurrent
consumer spending on our titles through in-game purchases and extra content.
We
are strivingintend to becomegenerate afuture leaderrevenue infrom organizing and facilitating esports tournaments, competitions, and events for our licensed
racing racing
games as well as on behalf of third-party racing game developers and publishers. In 2023, we organized the
grand finale of the Le Mans Virtual Series 2022/23, the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual event, which had a cumulative total of
approximately 8.8 million video views with approximately 27 million minutes watched. The 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual event had a
global audience of 5 million across television (TV)/over-the-top (OTT) channels. Although we did not organize the Le Mans Virtual
Series for the 2023/24 or24, 2024/25 or 2025/26 seasons, we currently plan on organizing the 20252026/2627 Le Mans Virtual Series to commence
this year.
We also intend to continue exploring opportunities to expand the recurring portion of our esports segment outside of Le
Mans.
Our
business model includes revenue that we deem recurring in nature, which historically consisted primarily of revenue from our annualized
NASCAR video game racing franchise for game consoles, PC, and mobile platforms.platforms, as well as our RaceControl subscription service. We historically
have been able to forecast the revenue
from this area of our business with greater relative confidence than for new games, services,
and business models. Following the sale
of our NASCAR License and as we continue to incorporate new business models and modalities of
play into our games, our goal is to continue
to look for opportunities to expand the recurring portion of our business, including through
subscriptions. theWe plannedplan

We
have historically derived substantially all of our revenue from sales of our games and related extra content that can be played by customers
on a variety of platforms, including game consoles, mobile phones, PCs and tablets. Starting in 2019, we began generating sponsorship
revenues from our production of live and virtual esports events; however, during 2025 and 2024 we did not generate any revenue for esports events as we did not organize any such
events. In early 2022, we also began offering software development services
for racing simulators.simulators and in December 2024, we started offering a subscription service via RaceControl, our matchmaking and online racing
platform.

reduction in sales and marketing expenses was primarily driven by a $0.9$0.1 million
reduction in payroll and employee-related expense as
a result of lower headcount, as well as a $0.1 million reduction in software expenses,
when compared to the prior year.

Once technological feasibility was reached in 2025, relevant development costs were capitalized and amortized to cost of revenue over
the estimated lives of the products.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $5.1 million and $6.9 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 25.4%, when compared to the prior year. The reduction in G&A expense was primarily driven by a $2.1 million decrease in legal and professional fees from the settlement of litigation-related matters, a $0.4 million reduction in insurance costs, and a $0.2 million decrease in severance costs and filing and compliance fees, respectively, offset by a $0.6 million increase in stock-based compensation due to the increase in fair value related to the increase in our stock price and a $0.1 million increase in board of director fees, when compared to the prior year.

$2.5 million, or 26.5%, when compared to the prior year. The reduction in G&A expense was primarily driven by a $1.4 million reduction
in payroll and employee-related expenses due to lower headcount period over period, a $0.6 million reduction in severance and insurance
costs, respectively, as well as a $0.3 million reduction in rent and office expense. This was partially offset by a $0.4 million increase
in legal and professional fees.
Impairment
of Intangible Assets
Impairment
of finite-lived intangible assets was $0.0 million and $4.0 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The trigger for the impairment in
2023 was our decision to explore strategic alternatives and potential options for our business, resulting in a probable likelihood of
the sale of certain licensing rights that would result in our inability to comply with the terms of a licensing agreement by the end
of the year and the resulting reduction in expected future revenues.
Other

Other operating income of $1.6 million for 2025 primarily includes $0.8 million from the Wesco Insurance Company settlement, $0.5 million
from a settlement agreement with HC2 Holdings 2 Inc. (now known as Innovate 2) and $0.3 million related to discounts negotiated on a
few outstanding vendor invoices. Other operating income of $0.8 million for 2024 is comprised of $0.5 million related to the sale of
our NASCAR License to iRacing in
October 2023 and a $0.3 million gain from the sale of Traxion, which was our motorsport and racing games
community content platform,
in April 2024. Other operating income of $3.0 million for 2023 is entirely comprised of the gain related to the sale of our NASCAR License
to iRacing in October 2023.
Interest
ExpenseExpense, Net
Interest expense was approximately $19,000 and $121,000 for 2025 and 2024, respectively. Interest expense primarily relates to non-cash interest accretion of purchase commitment liabilities relating to the acquisition of Studio397 from Luminis International B.V. and Technology In Business B.V. (collectively, the “Sellers”) in April 2021. In February 2025, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with the Sellers pursuant to which certain interest expenses relating to amounts owed to the Sellers for the acquisition of Studio397 were not incurred after February 2025.
Interest
expense was $0.1 million and $0.8 million for 2024 and 2023 primarily from non-cash interest accretion of our INDYCAR and BTCC license
liabilities, which were both fully settled in the second quarter of 2024.
Other income, net was $3.4 million for 2025, compared to other expense of $1.2 million for 2024, an increase of $4.6 million compared to the prior year. Other income, net of $3.4 million for 2025 was primarily comprised of $3.2 million in foreign currency gains arising from remeasuring transactions denominated in a currency and a $0.2 million gain from the Settlement Agreement entered into with Luminis on February 20, 2025. Other expense, net of $1.2 million for 2024 was primarily comprised of $1.3 million in foreign currency losses arising from remeasuring transactions denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, offset by $0.1 million in rental income.
Provision for Income Taxes

loss attributable to non-controlling interest was $0.3approximately million$83,000 and $295,000 for 20242025 and $02024, forrespectively, 2023.and The variance wasis attributed
to an increase in net
losses in the Le Mans Esports Series Ltd joint venture.
Since
our inception and prior to our IPO, we financed our operations primarily through advances from Driven Lifestyle, which were subsequently
incorporated into a line of credit provided by Driven Lifestyle pursuant to the $12 million Line of Credit, as described below.
On
January 15, 2021, we completed our IPO of 345,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price to the public of $200 per share, which includes
the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase from us an additional 45,000 shares of Class A common stock. We
received net proceeds of approximately $63.1 million from the IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses paid
by us in 2020 and 2021.
Following
After our IPO,IPO in
2021, we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operations, advances from Driven Lifestyle pursuant to the
the $12 million Line of Credit and sales of our equity securities. We have entered into a line of credit with Citibank N.A. that will provide us with up to an additional $3 million provided we meet the requirements for use of the line of credit.
On
July 29, 2024, we completed a registered direct offering and a concurrent private placement (the “July 2024
Offerings”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acting as the exclusive placement agent, which offerings raised approximately
$1.0 million in gross proceeds before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses. We intend to use the
net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.
For
the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred a net loss of $3.0 million and negative cash flows from operations of approximately
$2.8 million. As of December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $91.8 million and cash and cash equivalents of $0.9 million,
which increased to $1.2 million as of February 28, 2025. We do not believe that our current capital resources will be sufficient to
fund our operations over the next year. Based on our current expected level of operating expenditures and cash and cash equivalents
on hand and anticipated revenue, management concludes that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at
least 12 months subsequent to the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. Historically, we have financed our operations
primarily through revenue generated from operations, loans and sales of our securities, and we expect to continue to seek and obtain
additional capital in a similar manner. Management is actively pursuing financing and other strategic plans, however, we do not have
any committed sources of financing at this time, and it is uncertain whether any additional funding will be available when we need
it on terms that will be acceptable to us, or at all. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise funds by selling
additional securities, which sales, if successful, could dilute the ownership interest of our existing shareholders. The issuance of
debt can result in restrictive covenants that limit operations. If funding is not available or not available at terms acceptable to
us, we will seek to further reduce overhead costs and our cash obligations in the short term, as needed. In addition, we may look to
divest or bring in equity partners for our various divisions and bring in near term capital.
For
the year ended December 31, 2024, we experienced an average net cash burn from operations of approximately $0.2 million per month,
and while we have taken measures to reduce our costs, we expect to continue to have a net cash outflow from operations for the
foreseeable future as we continue to develop our product portfolio and invest in developing new video game titles. Based on our cash
and cash equivalents position and our average cash burn, we believe that we do not have sufficient cash on hand to fund our
operations over the next year and that additional funding will be required in order to continue operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, we generated net income of $6.8 million and positive cash flows from operations of approximately $4.1 million. As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $84.9 million and cash and cash equivalents of $5.0 million, which increased to $6.0 million as of February 28, 2026. We expect that our cash on hand will fund our operations for at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. Our future liquidity and capital requirements include funds to support the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital, support the development and introduction of new products and maintain existing titles, and certain capital expenditures.
Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through revenue generated from operations, loans and sales of our securities, and we expect to continue to seek and obtain additional capital in a similar manner. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise funds by selling additional securities, which sales, if successful, could dilute the ownership interest of our existing shareholders. In addition, our ability to sell additional securities may be limited by the terms of the right of first refusal granted to the purchasers in the private placement offering that closed on April 11, 2025 (the “April Private Placement”). The issuance of debt can result in restrictive covenants that limit operations. If funding is not available or not available at terms acceptable to us, we will seek to further reduce overhead costs and our cash obligations in the short term, as needed. In addition, we may look to divest or bring in equity partners for our various divisions and bring in near term capital.

We
follow a franchise model and a significant portion of our revenues has historically been derived from products based on a relatively
small number of popular franchises, including our Le Mans Ultimate franchise, which now accounts for the majority of our
revenue. revenue.
For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, revenues associated with our Le Mans Ultimate franchise accounted
for approximately
76% 75% and 82%76% of our total revenue, respectively. For the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025,2026, our top three customers
accounted for 83% of our revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, our top two customers accounted for 81% of our
revenues. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, revenues associated with our Le Mans Ultimate franchise accounted

Ourapproximately 88% of our accounts receivable as of June 30, 2026 and our top four customers accounted for approximately 99% and 98% of our
accounts receivable as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025,
respectively.2025. No other distribution channelcustomer accounted for 10% or more of our accounts receivable in those
periods. A reduction in sales
from or loss of these distribution channelscustomers would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and
financial condition.
Due
to this dependence on a limited number of franchises, the failure to achieve anticipated results by one or more products based on these
franchises, or the loss of any franchise, especially our two main distributors,customers, could negatively impact our business. Additionally, if
the popularity of a franchise declines, we may have to write off the unrecovered portion of the underlying intellectual property assets,
which could negatively impact our business. In the future, we expect this trend to continue with a relatively limited number of franchises
producing a disproportionately high percentage of our revenues and profits.

The complete terms of the Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2026, with ClearTrust, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, as rights agent. In general terms, subject to certain exceptions, the Rights Agreement imposes significant dilution upon any person or group (other than us and certain other Exempt Persons (as defined in the Rights Agreement)), that becomes the beneficial owner of twelve and a half percent (12.5%) or more of the Class A Common Stock following our first public announcement of the adoption of the Rights Agreement. The term “beneficial ownership” is defined in the Rights Agreement and includes, among other things, certain derivative arrangements. The significant dilution caused by the exercise of the rights makes an unsolicited acquisition of the company prohibitively expensive without approval from our Board of Directors. In connection with the Rights Agreement, on July 22, 2026 our Board also designated a new series of participating preferred stock. In addition, the Amended and Restated Bylaws adopted on July 22, 2026, among other things, enhance our advance notice procedures and disclosure requirements for stockholder nominations and proposals. We are also subject to provisions of Delaware law that may have anti-takeover effects.
These provisions, alone or in combination, could make it more difficult, or discourage, a merger, tender offer, or assumption of control by a substantial holder of our securities, or for our stockholders to change the composition of our Board, even in a transaction that some or all of our stockholders might consider to be in their best interests or in which our stockholders might receive a premium over the then-current market price of our Class A Common Stock. As a result, these provisions could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our Class A Common Stock and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the ability of our stockholders to realize a premium for their shares.
As a result, third parties may be deterred from pursuing a merger, tender offer, or takeover attempt that stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best financial interest.
Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue “blank check” preferred stock, which could dilute the voting power and economic rights of holders of our Class A Common Stock and delay or prevent a change in control.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions thereof—including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, and sinking fund terms—without any further vote or action by the holders of our Class A Common Stock.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock could adversely affect the holders of our Class A Common Stock in several ways, including:
As of the date of this filing, our Board of Directors has no immediate plans or commitments to issue any shares of preferred stock other than pursuant to the Rights Agreement. However, we cannot assure you that our Board of Directors will not issue preferred stock in the future.
Actions of activist stockholders could be disruptive and costly and could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, and/or share price
While we strive to maintain constructive communications with our stockholders, we may, from time to time, be subject to demands from activist stockholders. Any activist campaign against the Company that contests, conflicts with, or seeks to change, our board composition, leadership, strategic direction, or business mix could have an adverse effect on us because: (i) responding to actions by activist stockholders could disrupt our operations, be costly or time-consuming, or divert the attention of our board of directors and senior management from their regular duties, including diverting their attention from the operation of our business and the execution of our strategic plans, which could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition; (ii) perceived uncertainties as to our future direction, including as a result of possible changes to the composition of our board, may lead to the perception of a change in the direction of the business or lack of continuity, any of which may be exploited by our competitors, cause concern to our customers, employees, and/or business partners and result in the loss of potential business opportunities, or make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners, and may adversely affect our relationships with vendors, customers, business partners, and other third parties; (iii) these types of actions could cause significant fluctuations in our share price based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business; and (iv) if individuals are elected to our board of directors with a specific agenda, it may adversely affect our ability to effectively implement our business strategy and create additional value for our stockholders.

Revenues
associated with our
Le Mans Ultimate franchise accounted for approximately 76%75% and 82%76% of our total revenue for the three months ended
June March30, 31,2026 and 2025, respectively, and for approximately 76% and 78% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and
2025, respectively. We aim to explore ways to capitalize on new trends and diversify our product mix.
Players
increasingly purchase our games as digital downloads, as opposed to purchasing physical discs. All of our titles that are available through
retailers as packaged goods products are also available through direct digital download. For the three and six months ended MarchJune 31, 30,
2026 and
2025, substantially all of our revenue from sales of video games for PCs was through digital channels, respectively.
We believe
this trend of increasing direct digital downloads is primarily due to benefits relating to convenience and accessibility that digital
digital downloads provide. In addition, as part of our digital business strategy, we aim to drive ongoing engagement and incremental revenue
revenue from recurrent consumer spending on our titles through in-game purchases and extra content.
We
intend to generate futureesports revenuerevenues from organizing and facilitating esports tournaments,
competitions, and events for our licensed racing
games as well as on behalf of third-party racing game developers and publishers. In 2023,
we organized the grand finale of the Le Mans
Virtual Series 2022/23, the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual event, which had a cumulative total
of approximately 8.8 million video views
with approximately 27 million minutes watched. The 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual event had a global
audience of 5 million across television
(TV)/over-the-top (OTT) channels. Although we did not organize the Le Mans Virtual Series for
the 2023/24, 2024/25 or 2025/26 seasons,
we currently plan on organizing the 2026/27 Le Mans Virtual Series to commence this year. We
also intend to continue exploring opportunities
to expand our esports segment outside of Le Mans. During the three months ended June 30,
2026, we generated esports revenues from facilitating esports events on behalf of others.
Our business model includes revenue that we deem recurring in nature, which consists primarily of revenue from our annualized video game racing franchise for PC, as well as our RaceControl subscription service. We historically have been able to forecast the revenue from this area of our business with greater relative confidence than for new games, services, and business models. As we continue to incorporate new business models and modalities of play into our games, our goal is to continue to look for opportunities to expand the recurring portion of our business, including through subscriptions. We plan to drive ongoing engagement and incremental revenue from recurrent consumer spending on our titles through in-game purchases, RaceControl subscription offerings and extra content. As of June 30, 2026, we had more than 40,500 paid RaceControl subscribers. RaceControl revenues were approximately $1.4 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
We
derive substantially all of our revenue from
sales of our games and related extra content that can be played by customers
on a PC platform. StartingWe inalso 2019, we began generatinggenerate sponsorship revenues
revenues from our production of live and virtual esports events; however, during 2025 and 2024 we did not generate any revenue for esports
events as we did not organize any such events. In early 2022, weWe also began offeringoffer software development services for racing simulators
and in December 2024, we started offeringoffer a subscription service via RaceControl, our matchmaking and online racing platform.
Development expenses consist of the cost to develop the games we produce, which includes salaries, benefits, and operating expenses of our in-house development teams, as well as consulting expenses for any contracted external development. Development expenses also include expenses relating to our software licenses, maintenance, and studio operating expenses. Costs incurred internally in developing a software product to be marketed or sold to external users are charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, software costs are capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. Technological feasibility for our software products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved through coding and testing. Generally, this occurs shortly before the products are released to production. The amortization of these costs is included in cost of revenue over the estimated life of the products.
