Risks
Related to Our Business and Industry
Because
we have a limited operating history, you may not be able to accurately evaluate our operations.
We
have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our business plan or performance and prospects can be made. The business
and prospects of VIP Play, Inc. must be considered in the light of the potential problems, delays, uncertainties and complications encountered
in connection with a newly established business and new industry. The risks include, but are not limited to, the possibility that we
will not be able to raise sufficient capital to meet our ongoing operating needs and to fund our growth plans, develop functional and
scalable products and services, or that although functional and scalable, our products and services will not be economical to market;
that our competitors hold proprietary rights that preclude us from marketing such products; that our competitors market a superior or
equivalent product; that we are not able to upgrade and enhance our technologies and products to accommodate new features and expanded
service offerings; or the failure to receive necessary regulatory clearances for our products. To successfully introduce and market our
products at a profit, we must establish brand name recognition and competitive advantages for our products. There are no assurances that
we can successfully address these challenges. If unsuccessful with one or more of these issues, our business, financial condition and
operating results could be materially and adversely affected.
Our
investors may lose their entire investment because our financial status creates a doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.
We
have a limited operating history and have incurred recurring losses from operations. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024,
we incurred a net loss of $18,881,931 and $30,385,693, respectively. We do not have a history of generating revenues and only recently
began to generate any revenues from our sports betting operations, further our projected revenues do not currently cover our expenses
and we are dependent on outside capital to continue our operations. We may not be able to continue as a going concern without additional
financing, and if such financing is not available to us or is not available to us on acceptable terms, we may be forced to cease operations.
We
are dependent on outside financing for continuation of our operations.
Our
business is in start-up mode building out our platform capability. We are currently licensed for gambling only in Tennessee and West
Virginia and as such, we are currently generating de minimis revenues and in some instances losses from our sports betting App and are
precluded from generating any revenues from our gambling technology outside of Tennessee and West Virginia. We generate no other revenues
and we are completely dependent on the continued availability of financing in order to continue our business.
We
are dependent upon, among other things, achieving a level of profitable operations and receiving additional cash infusions including
securing additional lines of credit and raising additional capital through placement of preferred and/or common stock in order to implement
our business plan. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in order to continue as a going concern. We are funding its initial
operations by a related party demand line of credit, a related party demand note payable, issuing preferred stock, and issuing common
stock through private placements.
We
cannot be certain that capital will be provided when it is required or in amounts sufficient to meet our operating requirements. Management
believes the existing stockholders, prospective new investors, and future revenues will provide the additional cash needed to meet our
obligations as they become due and will allow the expansion of the sports betting technology into additional jurisdictions. No assurance
can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even
if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause
substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity financing.
Our
failure to obtain future financing or to produce levels of revenue to meet our financial needs could result in our inability to continue
as a going concern and, as a result, our investors could lose their entire investment.
Reductions
in discretionary consumer spending could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Our
business is particularly sensitive to reductions from time to time in discretionary consumer spending. Demand for entertainment and leisure
activities, including online gaming, can be affected by changes in the economy and consumer tastes, both of which are difficult to predict
and beyond our control. Unfavorable changes in general economic conditions, including recessions, economic slowdowns, sustained high
levels of unemployment, and rising prices or the perception by consumers of weak or weakening economic conditions, may reduce our prospective
users’ disposable income or result in fewer individuals engaging in entertainment and leisure activities. As a result, we cannot
ensure that demand for our offerings will materialize or remain constant. Adverse developments affecting economies throughout the world,
including a general tightening of availability of credit, decreased liquidity in certain financial markets, increased interest rates,
foreign exchange fluctuations, increased energy costs, acts of war or terrorism, transportation disruptions, natural disasters, declining
consumer confidence, sustained high levels of unemployment or significant declines in stock markets, as well as concerns regarding pandemics,
epidemics and the spread of contagious diseases, could lead to a further reduction in discretionary spending on leisure activities, such
as online gaming.
Our
projections are subject to significant risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties, including assumptions regarding future legislation
and changes in regulations, both inside and outside of the U.S. As a result, our projected revenues, market share, expenses and profitability
may differ materially from our expectations.
We
operate in rapidly changing and competitive industries and our projections are subject to the risks and assumptions made by management
with respect to our industries. Operating results are difficult to forecast because they generally depend on our assessment of the timing
of adoption of future legislation and regulations by different states, which are uncertain. Furthermore, if we invest in the development
of new products or distribution channels that do not achieve significant commercial success, whether because of competition or otherwise,
we may not recover the often substantial “up front” costs of developing and marketing those products and distribution channels
or recover the opportunity cost of diverting management and financial resources away from other products or distribution channels.
Additionally,
as described above under “Reductions in discretionary consumer spending could have an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects,” our business may be affected by reductions in consumer spending from time to time
as a result of a number of factors which may be difficult to predict. This may result in decreased revenue levels, and we may be unable
to adopt measures in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in income. This inability could cause our operating results
in a given quarter to be higher or lower than expected. If actual results differ from our estimates, analysts may react negatively, and
our stock price could be materially impacted.
Despite
our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee
error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed,
publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings,
liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, and regulatory penalties, disruption of our operations and the
services we provide to users, damage to our reputation, and a loss of confidence in our products and services, which could adversely
affect our business.
The
secure maintenance and transmission of user information is a critical element of our operations. Our information technology and other
systems that maintain and transmit user information, or those of service providers, business partners or employee information may be
compromised by a malicious third- party penetration of our network security, or that of a third-party service provider or business partner
or impacted by intentional or unintentional actions or inaction by our employees, or those of a third- party service provider or business
partner. As a result, our users’ information may be lost, disclosed, accessed or taken without our users’ consent. We expect
that we will be subject to attempts to gain unauthorized access to or through our information systems or those we develop for our customers,
whether by our employees or third parties, including cyber-attacks by computer programmers and hackers who may develop and deploy viruses,
worms or other malicious software programs. We cannot provide assurance that they will not have a material impact in the future.
We
rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from third parties in an effort to securely transmit confidential and sensitive
information, including credit card numbers. Advances in computer capabilities, new technological discoveries or other developments may
result in the whole or partial failure of this technology to protect transaction data or other confidential and sensitive information
from being breached or compromised. In addition, websites are often attacked through compromised credentials, including those obtained
through phishing and credential stuffing. Our security measures, and those of our third-party service providers, may not detect or prevent
all attempts to breach our systems, denial-of-service attacks, viruses, malicious software, break-ins, phishing attacks, social engineering,
security breaches or other attacks and similar disruptions that may jeopardize the security of information stored in or transmitted by
our websites, networks and systems or that we or such third parties otherwise maintain, including payment card systems, which may subject
us to fines or higher transaction fees or limit or terminate our access to certain payment methods. We and such third parties may not
anticipate or prevent all types of attacks until after they have already been launched. Further, techniques used to obtain unauthorized
access to or sabotage systems change frequently and may not be known until launched against us or our third-party service providers.
In
addition, security breaches can also occur as a result of non-technical issues, including intentional or inadvertent breaches by our
employees or by third parties. These risks may increase over time as the complexity and number of technical systems and applications
we use also increases. Breaches of our security measures or those of our third-party service providers or cybersecurity incidents could
result in unauthorized access to our sites, networks and systems; unauthorized access to and misappropriation of user information, including
users’ personally identifiable information, or other confidential or proprietary information of ourselves or third parties; viruses,
worms, spyware or other malware being served from our sites, networks or systems; deletion or modification of content or the display
of unauthorized content on our sites; interruption, disruption or malfunction of operations; costs relating to breach remediation, deployment
of additional personnel and protection technologies, response to governmental investigations and media inquiries and coverage; engagement
of third-party experts and consultants; litigation, regulatory action and other potential liabilities. If any of these breaches of security
should occur and be material, our reputation and brand could be damaged, our business may suffer, we could be required to expend significant
capital and other resources to alleviate problems caused by such breaches, and we could be exposed to a risk of loss, litigation or regulatory
action and possible liability. We cannot guarantee that recovery protocols and backup systems will be sufficient to prevent data loss.
Actual or anticipated attacks may cause us to incur increasing costs, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies,
train employees and engage third-party experts and consultants. While we expect to obtain and maintain cybersecurity insurance coverage
that we believe is adequate for our business, such coverage may not cover all potential costs and expenses associated with cybersecurity
incidents that may occur in the future.
In
addition, any party who is able to illicitly obtain a user’s password could access the user’s transaction data or personal
information, resulting in the perception that our systems are insecure. Any compromise or breach of our security measures, or those of
our third-party service providers, could violate applicable privacy, data protection, data security, network and information systems
security and other laws and cause significant legal and financial exposure, adverse publicity and a loss of confidence in our security
measures, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. We devote
significant resources to protect against security breaches or we may need to in the future to address problems caused by breaches, including
notifying affected subscribers and responding to any resulting litigation, which in turn, diverts resources from the growth and expansion
of our business.
We
rely on other third-party service providers and if such third parties do not perform adequately or terminate their relationships with
us, our costs may increase and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our
success depends in part on our relationships with other third-party service providers. For example, we rely on third parties for content
delivery, load balancing and protection against distributed denial-of-service attacks. If those providers do not perform adequately,
our users may experience issues or interruptions with their experiences. Furthermore, if any of our partners terminates its relationship
with us or refuses to renew its agreement with us on commercially reasonable terms, we would need to find an alternate provider, and
may not be able to secure similar terms or replace such providers in an acceptable time frame. We also rely on other software and services
supplied by third parties, such as communications and internal software, and our business may be adversely affected to the extent such
software and services do not meet our expectations, contain errors or vulnerabilities, are compromised or experience outages. Any of
these risks could increase our costs and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, any negative
publicity related to any of our third-party partners, including any publicity related to regulatory concerns, could adversely affect
our reputation and brand, and could potentially lead to increased regulatory or litigation exposure.
We
incorporate technology from third parties into our offerings. We cannot be certain that our licensors are not infringing the intellectual
property rights of others or that the suppliers and licensors have sufficient rights to the technology in all jurisdictions in which
we may operate. Some of our license agreements may be terminated by our licensors for convenience. If we are unable to obtain or maintain
rights to any of this technology because of intellectual property infringement claims brought by third parties against our suppliers
and licensors or against us, or if we are unable to continue to obtain the technology or enter into new agreements on commercially reasonable
terms, our ability to develop our offerings containing that technology could be severely limited and our business could be harmed.
Additionally,
if we are unable to obtain necessary technology from third parties, we may be forced to acquire or develop alternate technology, which
may require significant time and effort and may be of lower quality or performance standards. This would limit and delay our ability
to provide new or competitive offerings and increase our costs. If alternate technology cannot be obtained or developed, we may not be
able to offer certain functionality as part of our offerings, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
If
Internet and other technology-based service providers experience service interruptions, our ability to conduct our business may be impaired
and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
A
substantial portion of our network infrastructure is provided by third parties, including Internet service providers and other technology-based
service providers. We require technology-based service providers to implement cyber-attack-resilient systems and processes. However,
if Internet service providers experience service interruptions, including because of cyber-attacks, or due to an event causing an unusually
high volume of Internet use (such as a pandemic or public health emergency), communications over the Internet may be interrupted and
impair our ability to conduct our business. Internet service providers and other technology-based service providers may in the future
roll out upgraded or new mobile or other telecommunications services, such as 5G or 6G services, which may not be successful and thus
may impact the ability of our users to access our offerings in a timely fashion or at all. In addition, our ability to process e-commerce
transactions depends on bank processing and credit card systems. To prepare for system problems, we continuously seek to strengthen and
enhance our current facilities and the capabilities of our system infrastructure and support. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance
that the Internet infrastructure or our own network systems will continue to be able to meet the demand placed on us by the continued
growth of the Internet, the overall online gaming industry and our users. Any difficulties these providers face, including the potential
of certain network traffic receiving priority over other traffic (i.e., lack of net neutrality), may adversely affect our business, and
we exercise little control over these providers, which increases our vulnerability to problems with the services they provide. Any system
failure as a result of reliance on third parties, such as network, software or hardware failure, including as a result of cyber-attacks,
which causes a loss of our users’ property or personal information or a delay or interruption in our online services and products
and e-commerce services, including our ability to handle existing or increased traffic, could result in a loss of anticipated revenue,
interruptions to our offerings, cause us to incur significant legal, remediation and notification costs, degrade the customer experience
and cause users to lose confidence in our offerings, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects.
We
may invest in or acquire other businesses, and our business may suffer if we are unable to successfully integrate acquired businesses
into our company or otherwise manage the growth associated with multiple acquisitions.
As
part of our business strategy, we have made, and may continue to make, acquisitions as opportunities arise to add new or complementary
businesses, products, brands or technologies. In some cases, the costs of such acquisitions may be substantial, including as a result
of professional fees and due diligence efforts. There is no assurance that the time and resources expended on pursuing a particular acquisition
will result in a completed transaction, or that any completed transaction will ultimately be successful. In addition, we may be unable
to identify suitable acquisition or strategic investment opportunities or may be unable to obtain any required financing or regulatory
approvals, and therefore may be unable to complete such acquisitions or strategic investments on favorable terms, if at all. We may decide
to pursue acquisitions with which our investors may not agree, and we cannot assure investors that any acquisition or investment will
be successful or otherwise provide a favorable return on investment. In addition, acquisitions and the integration thereof require significant
time and resources and place significant demands on our management, as well as on our operational and financial infrastructure. In addition,
if we fail to successfully close transactions or integrate new teams, or integrate the products and technologies associated with these
acquisitions into our company, our business could be seriously harmed. Acquisitions may expose us to operational challenges and risks,
including:
Our
acquisition strategy may not succeed if we are unable to remain attractive to target companies or expeditiously close transactions. Issuing
shares of common stock to fund an acquisition would cause economic dilution to existing stockholders. If we develop a reputation for
being a difficult acquirer or having an unfavorable work environment, or target companies view our common stock unfavorably, we may be
unable to consummate key acquisition transactions essential to our corporate strategy and our business may be seriously harmed.
Our
growth prospects depend on the legal status of online sports betting and online gaming in various jurisdictions, predominantly within
the U.S., and legalization may not occur in as many states as we expect or may occur at a slower pace than we anticipate. Additionally,
even if jurisdictions legalize online sports betting and online gaming, this may be accompanied by legislative or regulatory restrictions
and/or taxes that make it impracticable or less attractive to operate in those jurisdictions, or the process of implementing regulations
or securing the necessary licenses to operate in a particular jurisdiction may take longer than we anticipate, which could adversely
affect our future results of operations and make it more difficult to meet our expectations for financial performance.
A
number of states have legalized, or are currently considering legalizing, online sports betting and online gaming, and our business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects are significantly dependent upon legalization of online sports betting and online
gaming. Our business plan is partially based upon the legalization of online sports betting and online gaming for a specific percentage
of the population on a yearly basis and the legalization may not occur as we have anticipated. Additionally, if a large number of additional
states or the federal government enact online sports betting and online gaming legislation and we are unable to obtain or are otherwise
delayed in obtaining the necessary licenses to operate online sports betting or online gaming websites in U.S. jurisdictions where such
games are legalized, our future growth in online sports betting and online gaming could be materially impaired.
As
we enter into new jurisdictions, states or the federal government may legalize online sports betting and online gaming in a manner that
is unfavorable to us. As a result, we may encounter legal, regulatory, and political challenges that are difficult or impossible to foresee
and which could result in an unforeseen adverse impact on planned revenues or costs associated with the new opportunity. For example,
states may require us to have a relationship with a retail operator for online sports betting access, which tends to increase our costs
of revenue. States that have established state-run monopolies may limit opportunities for private sector participants like us. States
also impose substantial tax rates on online sports betting and online gaming revenue, in addition to the federal excise tax of 25 basis
points on the amount of each wager. As most state product taxes apply to various measures of modified gross profit, tax rates, whether
federal- or state-based, that are higher than we expect will make it more costly and less desirable for us to launch in a given jurisdiction,
while tax increases in any of our existing jurisdictions may adversely impact our profitability.
Therefore,
even in cases in which a jurisdiction purports to license and regulate online sports betting or online gaming, the licensing and regulatory
regimes can vary considerably in terms of their business-friendliness and at times may be intended to provide incumbent operators with
advantages over new licensees. Therefore, some “liberalized” regulatory regimes are considerably more commercially attractive
than others.
Failure
to comply with regulatory requirements in a particular jurisdiction, or the failure to successfully obtain a license or permit applied
for in a particular jurisdiction, could impact our ability to comply with licensing and regulatory requirements in other jurisdictions,
or could cause the rejection of license applications or cancellation of existing licenses in other jurisdictions, or could cause financial
institutions, online and mobile platforms, advertisers and distributors to stop providing services to us which we will need to rely upon
to receive payments from, or distribute amounts to, our users, or otherwise to deliver and promote our services.
Compliance
with the various regulations applicable to online sports betting and online gaming is costly and time-consuming. Regulatory authorities
at the non-U.S., U.S. federal, state and local levels have broad powers with respect to the regulation and licensing of online sports
betting and online gaming operations and may refuse to issue, revoke, suspend, condition or limit our online sports betting or online
gaming licenses, impose substantial fines on us and take other actions, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. These laws and regulations are dynamic and subject to potentially
differing interpretations, and various legislative and regulatory bodies may expand current laws or regulations or enact new laws and
regulations regarding these matters. We will strive to comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to our business. It is
possible, however, that these requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another
and may conflict with other rules. Non-compliance with any such law or regulations could expose us to claims, proceedings, litigation
and investigations by private parties and regulatory authorities, as well as substantial fines and negative publicity, each of which
may materially and adversely affect our business.
Any
online sports betting or online gaming license could be denied, and if issued could be revoked, suspended, or conditioned at any time.
The loss of a license in one jurisdiction could trigger the loss of a license or affect our eligibility for such a license in another
jurisdiction, and any of such losses, or potential for such loss, could cause us to cease offering some or all of our offerings in the
impacted jurisdictions. We may be unable to obtain or maintain all necessary registrations, licenses, permits or approvals, and could
incur fines or experience delays related to the licensing process, which could adversely affect our operations. Our delay or failure
to obtain or maintain licenses in any jurisdiction may prevent us from distributing our offerings, increasing our customer base and/or
generating revenues. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain and maintain the licenses and related approvals necessary to
conduct our planned business operations. Any failure to obtain, maintain or renew licenses, registrations, permits or approvals could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
The
success, including win or hold rates, of existing or future sports betting product offerings depends on a variety of factors and is not
completely controlled by us.
The
sports betting industry is characterized by an element of chance. Accordingly, we employ theoretical win rates to estimate what a certain
type of sports bet, on average, will win or lose in the long run. Net win is impacted by variations in the hold percentage (the ratio
of net win to total amount wagered), or actual outcome, on our sports bets we offer to our users. We use hold percentage as an indicator
of a sports bet’s performance against its expected outcome. Although each sports bet generally performs within a defined statistical
range of outcomes, actual outcomes may vary for any given period. In addition to the element of chance, win rates (hold percentages)
may also (depending on the game involved) be affected by the spread of limits and factors that are beyond our control, such as a user’s
experience and behavior, the financial resources of users, the volume of bets placed and the amount of time spent engaging with our product
offering. As a result of the variability in these factors, the actual win rates on our sports bets may differ from the theoretical win
rates we have estimated and could result in the winnings of our users exceeding those anticipated. The variability of win rates (hold
rates) also has the potential to negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
We
rely on third-party providers to validate the identity and identify the location of our users, and if such providers fail to perform
adequately or provide accurate information or we do not maintain business relationships with them, our business, financial condition
and results of operations could be adversely affected.
There
is no guarantee that the third-party geolocation and identity verification systems that we rely on will perform adequately, or be effective.
We rely on our geolocation and identity verification systems to ensure we are in compliance with certain applicable laws and regulations,
and any service disruption to those systems would prohibit us from operating our product offerings, and would adversely affect our business.
Additionally, incorrect or misleading geolocation and identity verification data with respect to current or potential users received
from third-party service providers may result in us inadvertently allowing access to our product offerings to individuals who should
not be permitted to access them, or otherwise inadvertently deny access to individuals who should be able to access our product offerings,
in each case based on inaccurate identity or geographic location determination. Our third-party geolocation services provider relies
on its ability to obtain information necessary to determine geolocation from mobile devices, operating systems, and other sources. Changes,
disruptions or temporary or permanent failure to access such sources by our third-party services providers may result in their inability
to accurately determine the location of our users. Moreover, our inability to maintain our existing contracts with third-party services
providers, or to replace them with equivalent third parties, may result in our inability to access geolocation and identity verification
data necessary for our day-to-day operations. If any of these risks materializes, we may be subject to disciplinary action, fines or
lawsuits, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our
business model depends upon the continued compatibility between our app and the major mobile operating systems and upon third-party platforms
for the distribution of our product offerings. If the Apple App Store, or the Google Play Store once we’re approved, prevents users
from downloading our app or augments the restrictions on advertising to our users, our ability to grow our revenue, profitability and
prospects may be adversely affected.
The
substantial majority of our users access our products primarily on mobile devices, and we believe that this will continue to be increasingly
important to our long-term success. Our business model depends upon the continued compatibility between our app and the major mobile
operating systems. Third parties with whom we do not have any formal relationships control the design of mobile devices and operating
systems. These parties frequently introduce new devices, and from time to time they may introduce new operating systems or modify existing
ones. Network carriers may also impact the ability to download apps or access specified content on mobile devices.
In
addition, we rely upon third-party platforms for distribution of our product offerings. Our sports betting product is primarily distributed
through the Apple App Store and a traditional website. We are currently working with Google to adhere to their modified approval process
for downloading the Android app from the Google Play Store. We believe we will be approved by Google in the near future. The Google Play
Store and Apple App Store are global application distribution platforms and the main distribution channels for our apps. As such, the
promotion, distribution and operation of our apps are subject to the respective distribution platforms’ standard terms and policies
for application developers, which are broad and subject to frequent changes and interpretation. Furthermore, the distribution platforms
may not enforce their standard terms and policies for application developers consistently and uniformly across all applications and with
all publishers.
There
is no guarantee that popular mobile devices will start or continue to support or feature our product offerings, or that mobile device
users will continue to use our product offerings rather than competing product offerings. We are dependent on the interoperability of
our technology with popular mobile operating systems, technologies, networks and standards that we do not control, such as the Android
and iOS operating systems, and any changes, bugs, technical or regulatory issues in such systems, our relationships with mobile manufacturers
and carriers, or in their terms of service or policies that degrade our product offerings’ functionality, reduce or eliminate our
ability to distribute our product offerings, give preferential treatment to competitive product offerings, limit our ability to deliver
high quality product offerings, or impose fees or other charges related to delivering our product offerings, could adversely affect our
product offering usage and monetization on mobile devices.
Moreover,
our sports betting product requires high-bandwidth data capabilities in order to place time-sensitive bets. If the growth of high-bandwidth
capabilities, particularly for mobile devices, is slower than we expect, our user growth, retention, and engagement may be seriously
harmed. Additionally, to deliver high-quality content over mobile cellular networks, our product offerings must work well with a range
of mobile technologies, systems, networks, regulations, and standards that we do not control. In particular, any future changes to the
iOS or Android operating systems may impact the accessibility, speed, functionality, and other performance aspects of our product offerings,
which issues are likely to occur in the future from time to time. In addition, the adoption of any laws or regulations that adversely
affect the growth, popularity, or use of the Internet, including laws governing Internet neutrality, could decrease the demand for our
product offerings and increase our cost of doing business. Specifically, any laws that would allow mobile providers in the United States
to impede access to content, or otherwise discriminate against content providers like us, such as providing for faster or better access
to our competitors, over their data networks, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects.
Furthermore,
we may not successfully cultivate relationships with key industry participants or develop product offerings that operate effectively
with these technologies, systems, networks, regulations, or standards. If it becomes more difficult for our users to access and use our
product offerings on their mobile devices, if our users choose not to access or use our product offerings on their mobile devices, or
if our users choose to use mobile product offerings that do not offer access to our product offerings, our user growth, retention, and
engagement could be seriously harmed. In addition, if any of the third-party platforms used for distribution of our product offerings
were to limit or disable advertising on their platforms, either because of technological constraints or because the owners of these distribution
platforms wished to impair our ability to serve ads on them, our ability to generate revenue could be harmed. Also, technologies have
been, and may continue to be, developed by companies, such as Apple and Google, that, among other things, block or limit the display
of our advertisements and some or all third-party cookies on mobile and desktop devices, limit cross-site and cross-device attribution,
prevent measurement outside a narrowly-defined attribution window and prevent advertisement re-targeting and optimization. These developments
could require us to make changes to how we collect information on, and track the actions of, our users and impact our marketing activities.
While these changes have not had a material adverse impact on our business to date, they could materially impact the way we do business
in the future, and if we or our advertising partners are unable to quickly and effectively adjust to new changes, there could be an adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
Our
growth prospects and market potential will depend on our ability to obtain licenses to operate in a number of jurisdictions, and if we
fail to obtain and subsequently maintain such licenses, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could
be impaired.
Our
ability to grow our business will depend on our ability to obtain and maintain licenses to offer our product in a large number of jurisdictions
or in heavily populated jurisdictions. Regulated gaming license applications and audits frequently involve an in-depth suitability review
of the applicant’s business and operations and associated individuals including certain officers, directors, key employees and
significant stockholders. These applications and audits take substantial time to prepare, submit, and complete, often requiring the production
of multiple years’ worth of business and personal financial records and disclosures which take considerable time to compile, followed
by the regulator’s investigatory process which may take months to complete. If we fail to obtain and maintain licenses in large
jurisdictions or in a greater number of mid-market jurisdictions, this may prevent us from expanding the footprint of our product offerings,
increasing our user base and/or generating revenues. We cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain and maintain licenses and related
approvals necessary to conduct our sports betting operations in a timely manner or at all. Any failure to obtain and maintain licenses,
registrations, permits or approvals could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects.
Palpable
(obvious) errors in odds making may occasionally occur in the normal course of business, sometimes for large liabilities. While it is
a worldwide standard business practice to void bets associated with palpable errors or to correct the odds, there is no guarantee regulators
will approve voiding palpable errors in every case.
Our
sports betting product offers a competitive set of bet offerings involving popular professional sports leagues within the United States,
and limited offerings for most international sports leagues. Odds are set through a combination of algorithmic and manual odds making.
Bet acceptance is always a manual process performed by the customer. In some cases, the odds offered on our sport betting product constitute
an obvious error. Examples of such errors are inverted lines between teams, or odds that are significantly different from the true odds
of the outcome in a way that all reasonable persons would agree is an error. It is generally commonplace worldwide for operators to void
bets associated with such palpable errors, and, in most mature jurisdictions, these bets can be voided without regulatory approval at
operator discretion. In the U.S., it is unclear long term if state-by-state regulators will consistently approve the voiding of bets
or re-setting odds to correct odds on such bets. In some cases, we require regulatory approval to void palpable errors ahead of time.
If regulators were to not allow voiding of bets associated with large obvious errors in odds making, we could be subject to covering
significant liabilities.
Negative
events or negative media coverage relating to, or a declining popularity of, sports betting, online sports betting or the underlying
sports or athletes in general, or other negative coverage may adversely impact our ability to retain or attract users, which could have
an adverse impact on our business.
Public
opinion can significantly influence our business. Unfavorable publicity regarding us, for example, our product changes, product quality,
litigation, or regulatory activity, or regarding the actions of third parties with whom we have relationships or the underlying sports
(including declining popularity of the sports or athletes) could seriously harm our reputation. In addition, a negative shift in the
perception of sports betting by the public or by politicians, lobbyists or others could affect future legislation of sports betting,
which could cause jurisdictions to abandon proposals to legalize sports betting, thereby limiting the number of jurisdictions in which
we are permitted to operate. Furthermore, illegal betting activity by athletes could result in negative publicity for our industry and
could harm our brand reputation. Negative public perception could also lead to new restrictions on, or the prohibition of, sports betting
in jurisdictions in which we currently operate. Such negative publicity could also adversely affect the size, demographics, engagement
and loyalty of our customer base and result in decreased revenue or slower user growth rates, which could seriously harm our business.
Given
our business, we may be the subject of governmental investigations and inquiries with respect to the operation of our businesses and
we could be subject to future governmental investigations and inquiries, legal proceedings, and enforcement actions. Any such investigation,
inquiry, proceeding or action could adversely affect our business.
We
may receive formal and informal inquiries from time to time, from government authorities and regulators, including tax authorities and
gaming regulators, regarding compliance with laws and other matters, particularly as we grow and expand our operations. Violation of
existing or future regulations, regulatory orders or consent decrees could subject us to substantial monetary fines and other penalties
that could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, it is possible that future orders issued
by, or inquiries or enforcement actions initiated by, government or regulatory authorities could cause us to incur substantial costs,
expose us to unanticipated liability or penalties, or require us to change our business practices in a manner materially adverse to our
business.
We
may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, credit card issuers and payment processing services providers, which may make it
difficult to sell our products and services.
Although
financial institutions and payment processors are permitted to provide services to us and others in our industry, banks, credit card
issuers and payment processing service providers may be hesitant to offer banking and payment processing services to online sports betting
and online gaming businesses. Consequently, those businesses involved in our industry, including our own, may encounter difficulties
in establishing and maintaining banking and payment processing relationships with a full scope of services and generating market rate
interest. If we were unable to maintain our bank accounts or our users were unable to use their credit cards, bank accounts or e-wallets
to make deposits and withdrawals from our offerings it would make it difficult for us to operate our business, increase our operating
costs, and pose additional operational, logistical and security challenges which could result in an inability to implement our business
plan.
If
we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may not be able to implement our business plan.
Due
to the specified nature of our business, having certain key personnel is essential to the development and marketing of the products and
services we plan to sell and thus to the entire business itself. Our Chief Executive Officer, Les Ottolenghi, is instrumental in the
viability of our business and our future success. Consequently, the loss of this individual may have a substantial effect on our future
success or failure. We may have to recruit qualified personnel with competitive compensation packages, equity participation, and other
benefits that may affect the working capital available for our operations. Management may have to seek to obtain outside independent
professionals to assist them in assessing the merits and risks of any business proposals as well as assisting in the development and
operation of many company projects. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain such needed assistance on terms acceptable
to us. Our failure to attract additional qualified employees or to retain the services of key personnel could have a material adverse
effect on our operating results and financial condition.
We
may be adversely affected by the failure of third-party providers
We
rely on certain third-party providers, including those that supply sportsbook algorithms and related services. Our dependence on these
providers subjects us to risks relating to the reliability, availability, and quality of their services. If any such provider were to
experience service interruptions, fail to maintain regulatory compliance, increase its fees, or terminate its agreement with us, our
operations, reputation, and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.

Overview
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Company completed a significant strategic transformation. In April 2026, management approved a plan to discontinue the Company’s Tennessee online sportsbook operations and redirect its resources toward the development of proprietary artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies, software applications, and related intellectual property. Customer wagering operations ceased on April 30, 2026, and the Company’s Tennessee Sports Gaming Operator license expired on May 24, 2026.
The Company’s current operations consist principally of software development activities, corporate administration, financing activities, and the continued development of proprietary AI technologies. As of June 30, 2026, and through the date of this Annual Report, the Company’s AI and software technologies remained in the development stage and had not generated revenue from commercial operations. The Company continues to develop and evaluate potential applications and commercialization opportunities for these technologies. The timing and extent of commercialization will depend on the successful development of the Company’s technologies and its ability to identify and secure customers and other commercial opportunities. Accordingly, the Company may experience a period of limited or no revenue while these development and commercialization efforts continue, and operating results during this period are not necessarily indicative of future operating performance.
Fiscal
Year Ended June 30, 2025, Compared to Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024
RevenuesGaming
Revenue and CostsCost of RevenuesGaming Revenue
Gaming revenue was approximately $184 thousand for the year ended June 30, 2026, compared to negative gaming revenue of approximately $86 thousand for the year ended June 30, 2025. Gaming revenue reflects the Company’s historical online sportsbook operations in Tennessee, which ceased accepting customer wagers on April 30, 2026.
Cost of gaming revenue was approximately $1.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2026, compared to approximately $510 thousand for the year ended June 30, 2025. The increase primarily reflects gaming platform costs, including fees paid to Kambi as the betting service provider for the VIP Play application, as well as promotional and bonus-bet costs, payment processing fees, and other direct gaming costs incurred through the wind-down of the sportsbook operations. As a result, the Company incurred a net gaming loss of approximately $1.0 million during fiscal 2026 compared to approximately $596 thousand during fiscal 2025.
The Company ceased its sportsbook operations during fiscal 2026 and does not expect to generate gaming revenue from these operations in future periods. The cessation of the Company’s sportsbook operations did not meet the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations under ASC 205-20; accordingly, the historical results of the sportsbook operations are included in continuing operations for all periods presented.
Salaries and Wages
Negative
gaming revenues for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 were $(86,473) and $(2,299,532), respectively. Costs of gaming revenues for
the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 were $509,585 and $1,320,380, respectively. The decrease in gross gaming loss and negative gross
margin for the year ended June 30, 2025 compared to June 30, 2024 is a result of lower promotional credits and a more efficient acquisition
mix, partially offset by the impact of lower incentive-driven top-line activity.
Operating
Expenses
Salaries
and wages ofincreased $4,463,405to wereapproximately incurred$5.2 duringmillion for the year ended June 30, 2025,2026 comparedfrom toapproximately $4,358,140$4.5 million during the yearprior ended June 30, 2024.year.
The increase was primarily attributable to personnel costs associated with the Company’s software development activities, including artificial intelligence initiatives, together with stock-based compensation recognized during the year.
The
$105,265 increase is primarily due to increased headcount as a result of increased sports betting activity.
General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $3.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2026, compared to approximately $2.6 million for the prior year, primarily due to a $1.2 million write-off of prepaid assets related to the Company’s gaming operations. General and administrative expenses otherwise primarily consist of public company costs, professional fees, consulting expenses, insurance, and other corporate overhead.
General
and administrative costs for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 were $2,579,252 and $2,902,706, respectively.
The
$323,454 decrease was primarily due to a decrease in legal fees and filing fees of approximately $483,000 during the year ended June
30, 2025 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to elevated legal and filing fees in the year ending June 30, 2024
related to the ZenSports acquisition arbitration which was settled during that year. The decrease was also due to a decrease in consulting
fees of $81K for advisory agreements that ended during the year ended June 30, 2025. The total decrease was partially offset by an increase
in auditing and accounting fees of $188K due to higher financial statement audit fees and AML compliance audit fees, and an increase
in travel expenses of $45K due to increased travel in the current year for investor meetings and a leadership summit.
Depreciation
and amortization expense decreased to approximately $458 thousand for the yearsyear ended June 30, 2025,2026 andfrom 2024approximately were$993 $992,719thousand andduring
the $1,785,522,prior respectively.year.
Asset Impairment
The Company recognized impairment expense of approximately $831 thousand during the year ended June 30, 2026, related to the developed technology and other intangible assets associated with the Company’s VIP Play gaming application, compared to approximately $5.9 million during the year ended June 30, 2025, related to the intangible assets associated with the Company’s former ZenSports application.
The
$792,803 decrease is principally due to sunsetting our former ZenSports app in December 2024 and writing down the assets related to it.
Impairment
of developed technology and tradename
Impairment
of developed technology and tradename for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 were $5,909,318 and $0, respectively.
The
$5,909,318 increase is principally due to sunsetting our former ZenSports app in December 2024 and writing down the assets related to
it.
Sales and marketing expense totalled approximately $590 thousand during fiscal 2026 compared to $1.1 million during fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced marketing and promotional activities associated with the Company’s sportsbook operations as those operations were wound down during fiscal 2026.
Sales
and Marketing for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 were $1,138,891 and $2,248,099, respectively.
The
$1,109,208 decrease is principally related to a decrease in promotional non-cash bonuses awarded to players during the current year.
OtherInterest
ExpensesExpense
Interest expense and related-party interest expense remained significant during fiscal 2026 as the Company continued to rely on related-party financing and convertible debt to fund operations.
Interest expense totalled approximately $173 thousand, while related-party interest expense totalled approximately $3.2 million during the current year, compared to approximately $483 thousand and $3.0 million, respectively, during the prior year.
Gain on Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
The Company recognized a gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of approximately $5.7 million during fiscal 2026 compared to approximately $47 thousand during fiscal 2025.
The derivative liabilities arise from embedded conversion features associated with certain related-party line of credit arrangements and convertible promissory notes. These liabilities are remeasured at fair value each reporting period, with changes recognized in earnings. The increase in the gain during fiscal 2026 primarily resulted from changes in the estimated timing and economics of conversion under the underlying instruments, which reduced the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities, partially offset by changes in other valuation assumptions, including expected volatility. The resulting gain was noncash.
Total
other expenses for the years ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 were $3,202,288 and $15,471,314, respectively.
The
$12,269,026 decrease is primarily due to a gain on the change in fair value of the derivative liability of $47,000 during the year ended
June 30, 2025 as compared to a loss on the change of fair value of the derivative liability of $9,532,758 during the year ended June
30, 2024. The derivative is related to a conversion feature associated with the line of credit and convertible debt which is remeasured
each reporting period.
In
addition, interest expense – related party for the year ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $1,811,279 compared to the year ended
June 30, 2024. The decrease was due to the debt issuance costs being fully amortized during the year ended June 30, 2025 as compared
to a full year of amortization in the year ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest expense
on the related party line of credit due to an increase in principal balance on the LOC during the year ended June 30, 2025.
Net loss for fiscal 2026 totalled approximately $9.5 million, compared to approximately $19.2 million during fiscal 2025.
The decrease in net loss was primarily attributable to the approximately $5.7 million non-cash gain recognized on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities during fiscal 2026 and the decrease in impairment expense from approximately $5.9 million in fiscal 2025 to approximately $0.8 million in fiscal 2026. These decreases were partially offset by an approximately $1.2 million increase in general and administrative expenses associated with the write off of gaming-related prepaid assets recognized during fiscal 2026 and higher salaries and wages.
Our
net loss for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $18,881,931 and $30,385,693, respectively.
The
significant decrease in the net loss is primarily related to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities and the decrease
in net gaming loss. This decrease is partially offset by the increase in impairment of developed technology and trade name during the
year ended June 30, 2025.
Liquidity is the ability of the Company to generate sufficient cash to fund its operations, satisfy its obligations, and support future business activities. During the year ended June 30, 2026, the Company completed the strategic exit of its Tennessee sportsbook operations and redirected its resources toward the development of artificial intelligence technologies, software applications, and related intellectual property. As a result, the Company’s future liquidity requirements are expected to be driven primarily by software development activities, corporate operating expenses, working capital requirements, and investments in new technologies.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had current assets of approximately $887 thousand, current liabilities of $42.2 million, and a working capital deficit of $41.3 million, compared to current assets of $2.9 million, current liabilities of $35.5 million, and a working capital deficit of $32.7 million as of June 30, 2025.
Management expects to continue funding operations through a combination of cash on hand, borrowings under related-party financing arrangements, primarily with Excel Family Partners, LLLP, and additional capital raising activities as necessary. The Company is dependent on continued related-party financing to fund a significant portion of its operating and liquidity needs. If such financing were reduced, terminated, or otherwise unavailable, the Company would need to obtain alternative sources of financing and/or reduce or delay expenditures, including expenditures related to its software development activities. There can be no assurance that related-party or other financing will continue to be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
Operating Activities
Liquidity
is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate
on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts payable
and accrued expenditures, and capital expenditures, including the costs associated with internally developed software and attaining Gaming
licenses.
As
of June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024, we had total current assets of $2,858,752, and $1,245,426, a working capital deficit of $31,919,904
and $20,782,894, respectively.
Net
cash used in operating activities during the year ended June 30, 2025,2026 was $10,430,726$8.9 million, compared to $11,301,366,$10.4 formillion during the year ended
June June
30, 2024.2025.
Operating cash flows primarily reflected the Company’s net loss, adjusted for significant non-cash items, including gains from changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and changes in working capital accounts. Cash used in operating activities also reflected the continued funding of corporate operations and software development activities.
Investing Activities
The
$870,641 decrease in negative operating cash flow from operations during the year ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the year ended
June 30, 2024, is principally the result of the $11,503,762 decrease in net loss primarily related to an decrease in net gaming loss
of $3,023,854 and a $1,109,208 decrease in Sales and Marketing costs, partially offset by an $5,909,318 increase in impairment of developed
technology and tradename expense.
Our
net cash flows used in prepaid and other current assets increased by $1,948,491 during 2025 compared to 2024 primarily as a result of
the increased payments of prepaid annual gaming license during the year ended June 30, 2025.
Our
cash flows used in accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $526,315 during 2025 compared to 2024 primarily as a result of
an increase in legal and other professional fees.
Our
cash flows from accrued expenses related-party increased by $334,254 during 2025 compared to 2024, primarily as a result of the increase
in accrued interest associated with the increase in related party borrowings on the LOC.
Our
cash flows from players balances decreased by $156,180 during 2025 compared to 2024, as result of our players withdrawing their balances
upon sunsetting the ZenSports app in May 2025.
Net
cash used in investing activities during the year ended June 30, 2025,2026 was $1,022,622$406 thousand, compared to $476,956$1.0 formillion during the year ended
June 30,
2024. 2025.
Investing activities during fiscal 2026 consisted of approximately $338 thousand of capitalized software development costs, primarily related to enhancements to the Company’s sportsbook application, and $68 thousand of other gaming-related intangible assets.
Financing Activities
The
increase is principally related to the investments in our new technology related to the VIP Play app.
Net
cash provided by financing activities during the year ended June 30, 2025,2026 was $11,443,186$9.0 million, compared to $11,872,689$11.4 formillion during the year
ended ended
June 30, 2024.2025.
Financing activities during fiscal 2026 primarily consisted of approximately $10.2 million of borrowings under the Company’s related-party line of credit and $100 thousand of proceeds from convertible notes, partially offset by approximately $500 thousand of convertible note repayments and $858 thousand of repayments of other notes payable.

We previously operated a mobile sportsbook platform in Tennessee, where we were licensed to offer mobile sports betting. In West Virginia, we previously received interim approval for an iGaming and mobile sports betting license in connection with a potential expansion of our gaming operations; however, operations never commenced, and the interim approval has since expired.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, we initiated a wind-down of our sports wagering operations following regulatory approval from the Tennessee Sports Wagering Council (“SWC”). These operations represent substantially all of our historical revenue. We expect to complete the wind-down of these operations by the end of May 2026.
In connection with this transition, we currently estimate that we will incur costs of $2.0 million to $2.5 million, primarily related to contractual termination costs associated with technology and service provider agreements. These estimates are preliminary and subject to change as the wind-down progresses.
Following the wind-down of our sportsbook operations, we intend to transition our business model toward enterprise-focused offerings, including artificial intelligence consulting services, development of a fan engagement and data intelligence platform, and data analytics and marketing optimization solutions.
We have limited operating history in these new business areas, and there can be no assurance that we will successfully execute this strategic transformation, develop commercially viable products, secure enterprise clients, or achieve profitability sufficient to replace our historical gaming revenue.
We expect this transition to negatively impact our near-term revenue and operating results and may result in a period of reduced or limited revenue as we develop our new business lines.

Results
of Operations for the Three Months Ended DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026, and 20242025
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company generated gaming revenues of $102 thousand and $1 thousand, respectively. The $101 thousand increase in gaming revenues during the 2026 period was primarily attributable to increased operating activity following the launch of the Company’s VIP Play application in May 2025, including increased player engagement and deposit activity supported by expanded payment processing capabilities.
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was minimal, reflecting reduced operating activity on the Company’s legacy platform. While the ZenSports application remained in service during the period, the Company had ceased further development and was transitioning to its new VIP Play application, which did not commence operations until May 2025.
For
the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had gaming revenues of $72 thousand and $22 thousand, respectively. Our gaming
revenues increased by approximately $50 thousand during the three months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended
December 31, 2024, primarily due to the Company’s addition of an external payment processor which increased betting activity as
a result of the addition of debit cards, as well as general improvements to the mix of customer base in the current period.
For
the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20252026 and 2024,2025, we had costs of revenues of $267$415 thousand and $108$143 thousand, respectively. Our costs
of revenues increased by approximately $159$272 thousand during the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20252026 as compared to the three months ended
ended DecemberMarch 31, 20242025 primarily due to increased costs related to platform fees incurred in connection with the new Player Account Management
Management Services Agreement entered into in February 2025.
Salaries
and wages of $1.3 million were incurred during the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026, compared to $1.1$956 millionthousand during the three months
ended DecemberMarch 31, 2024.2025. The approximately $269$385 thousand increase is primarily due to increased headcount, including 3 new executives in
in June 2025.
Depreciation
and amortization for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026, and 20242025 were $105$125 thousand and $482$1 thousand, respectively. The increase of
approximately
$377 $124 thousand decrease is principallyprimarily dueattributable to a higher value allocated to our former ZenSports app which was discontinued in April 2025
as compared to the valueamortization of the newCompany’s internally developed VIP Play app application,
which was placed into service in May 2025. Prior to being placed into service, costs associated with the development of the application
were capitalized and not subject to amortization.
Impairment
of developed technology and tradename for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 were $0 and $5.9 million, respectively.
The $5.9 million decrease is principally due to discontinuing our former ZenSports app in April 2025 and writing down the assets related
to it.
Sales
and Marketing for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026, and 20242025 were $158$124 thousand and $394$412 thousand, respectively. The approximately
$236$288 thousand decrease is principally related to shifteda focusshift toin marketing strategy toward lower-cost digital and social media channels during
the current period, resulting in reduced overall marketing during the three months ended December 31, 2025

General
and administrative costsexpenses for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026 and 20242025 were $589$503 thousand and $651$456 thousand, respectively. The
increase of approximately $62$47 thousand decrease was primarily dueattributable to higher accounting and audit fees, including incremental costs associated
with the Company’s auditor transition and increased involvement of audit specialists related to the valuation of derivative liabilities.
The increase was also related to a decreasenew inadvisory accountingagreement andentered auditing feesinto during the three months ended December
31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 due the timing of services provided. The decrease was also due to a
decrease in consulting fees for advisory agreements that ended during the year ended June 30, 2025. The total decrease was partially
offset by an increase in legal fees due to the West Virginia matter.period.
Other
IncomeExpenses
Total
other incomeexpenses for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026, and 20242025 were $10.2$9.0 million and $2.7$3.2 million, respectively.
The
approximately $7.5$5.8 million increase is primarily due to a gainloss on the change in fair value of the derivative liability of $11.0$8.1 million
for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20252026 as compared to a gainloss of $3.7$2.4 million for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2024.2025. The derivative
derivative is related to a conversion feature associated with the line of credit and convertible debt which is remeasured each reporting
period.
In
addition, interest expense – related party for the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20252026 decreasedincreased by approximately $126$203 thousand compared
compared to the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2024.2025. The decreaseincrease was dueprimarily attributable to higher average outstanding borrowings under the debt issuance costs being fully amortized into
Company’s related
party interestline expenseof credit during the threecurrent months ended September 30, 2024.period.
Interest
expense decreased by approximately $86$78 thousand during the three months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20252026 primarily due to the debt discount
being being
fully amortized during the three months ended December 31, 2025 for the convertible notes as well as the repayment of a $500
thousand thousand
convertible note in October 2025.
Net
Income (Loss)
Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $11.4 million, compared to a net loss of $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $6.2 million increase was driven primarily by an $8.1 million non-cash loss on the change in fair value of our derivative liability, which is remeasured each reporting period and is sensitive to changes in our common stock price and other valuation inputs. Excluding the impact of this non-cash derivative remeasurement, our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 would have been approximately $3.3 million, compared to approximately $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, with the remaining increase primarily attributable to higher salaries and wages associated with expanded headcount and higher interest expense on increased borrowings under our related party line of credit.
Our
net income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $7.8 million and our net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2024
was $5.9 million, respectively.
Results
of Operations for the SixNine Months Ended DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026, and 20242025
For the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we had gaming revenues of $178 thousand and $18 thousand, respectively. Gaming revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 increased by approximately $160 thousand compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the launch and ramp-up of the Company’s VIP Play application in May 2025, which resulted in increased player activity and wagering volumes during the current period. In addition, the Company’s implementation of an external payment processor, including the introduction of debit card funding options, contributed to increased customer spending activity. The prior year period also included reduced operating activity as the Company transitioned between platforms, contributing to lower comparative revenues.
For
the six months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had gaming revenues of $77 thousand and $18 thousand, respectively. Our gaming revenues
increased by approximately $59 thousand during the six months ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the six months ended December 31,
2024. During the period, we began utilizing an external payment processor which increased betting activity due to the addition of debit
cards and experienced general improvements to the mix of our customer base.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a working capital deficit of $39.5 million, recurring losses from operations, and negative cash flows from operating activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company initiated a wind-down of its sports wagering operations following regulatory approval from the Tennessee Sports Wagering Council (“SWC”), which is expected to significantly impact future revenue-generating activities and change the Company’s future operations and capital requirements.
The Company’s ability to continue operations is dependent upon, among other things, its ability to obtain additional financing and manage operating costs during and following the wind-down process. Management’s plans include seeking additional capital through debt and/or equity financings, reducing certain operating costs as wagering activities are discontinued, and evaluating alternative business strategies. However, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Since
our current business has a limited history of generating revenues or operating successfully, we will be dependent upon, among other things,
achieving a level of profitable operations and receiving additional cash infusions including securing additional lines of credit and
raising additional capital through the placement of preferred and/or common stock in order to implement our business plan. Because of
our limited operating history, it is difficult to predict our capital needs on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. We will have limited
capital available to us if we are unable to raise money through private equity offerings or find alternate forms of financing.
We
expect our revenues to increase over time but we lack sufficient history to accurately forecast the amount or time required to generate
sufficient revenues to cover our current or future burn rate.
We
expect to incur significant increases in operating costs. The expected significant increases in costs will include, but not be limited
to, costs relating to license maintenance, technology development and maintenance, sales and marketing, labor for both existing and new
personnel, and other operating cost increases due to the current inflationary market place we operate in. The expected increase in operating
costs is a byproduct of transitioning from a development stage business to a revenue generating operating business.
As
of DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
