NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 - Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies Principal Business Activity

 

Signing Day Sports, Inc. (formerly known as Signing Day Sports, LLC) (“Company”) was formed and began operations in January 2019 and provides a digital ecosystem to help high school athletes get discovered and recruited by college coaches across the United States of America.

 

The Company’s website and mobile phone application provides an opportunity for athletes to create a personal profile by uploading measurables, videos of key drills, testing stats, academics and demographic information. Coaches can evaluate a prospect’s video, watch two separate prospects side by side simultaneously, and perform other actions with the video to visually evaluate talent. Intangible assets consist of development software, customer lists, trademarks, software IP, and customer data in the form of verifiable video uploads, player statistics, and academic records.

 

Going Concern Considerations

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. We sustained significant losses and negative cash flows from operations and are dependent on debt and equity financing to fund operations. We incurred a net loss of approximately $1.602 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $0.920 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. We incurred a net loss of approximately $5.413 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $2.676 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We had cash used in operating activities of approximately $3.489 million and $1.497 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $22.372 million and $16.959 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is continuing its path to profitability through increased business development, marketing and sales of the Company’s multiple lines of subscriptions.

 

Failure to successfully continue to grow operational revenues could harm our profitability and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We face all of the risks inherent in a new business, including the need for significant additional capital, management’s potential underestimation of initial and ongoing costs, and potential delays and other problems in connection with establishing sales channels.

 

We are continuing our plan to further grow and expand operations and seek sources of capital to pay our contractual obligations as they come due. Management believes that its current operating strategy will provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern as long as we are able to obtain additional financing; however, there is no assurance this will occur. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments, including certificates of deposit (“CDs”) purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash deposits are held with financial institutions with investment-grade ratings in the United States of America, or U.S. Cash deposits typically exceed federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash on deposit with banks denominated in U.S. dollars and investments in money market funds.

 

6

 

 

Short-term Investments

 

The Company classifies its certificates of deposit as short-term investments and reassesses the appropriateness of the classification of its investments at the end of each reporting period. Certificates of deposit held for investment with an original maturity greater than three months are carried at amortized cost and reported as short-term investments on the balance sheets. The type of certificates of deposit that the Company invests in are not considered debt securities under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, Investments - Debt Securities.

 

As of September 30, 2024 the Company had $0 in certificates of deposit and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $2.1 million in certificates of deposit. The Company classified $2.1 million of its certificates of deposits as short-term investments on its balance sheets as of December 31, 2023.

 

Receivables and Credit Policy

 

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. There were $23,668 of open receivables at September 30, 2024 and $58,775 at December 31, 2023. The Company reviews its receivables in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”), which currently has a minimal impact on the Company. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company believes the accounts receivable are fully collectable.

 

Payment Terms

 

Users may access the Company’s website and application on either a free-trial or paid basis. Users that are not eligible or no longer eligible for free-trial access are required to have subscriptions by making payment to the Company prior to access to the Company’s website and application, except that user organizations may have subscriptions by agreeing to make payment on a monthly installment basis.  If a required payment is not made, access to the Company’s website and application is suspended until the required payment is received.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income.

 

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets which range from three to five years.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Based on this assessment there was no impairment at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Internally Developed Software

 

Software consists of an internally developed information system for use by the Company in matching athletes with qualified coaches. The Company has capitalized costs incurred with development and upgrades of the information systems in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Costs incurred up to and including the feasibility stage of development as well as maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company amortizes these capitalized costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset of five years.

 

7

 

 

The Company periodically performs reviews of the recoverability of such capitalized technology costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on estimated cash flows to be generated from technology; any remaining capitalized amounts are written off. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have an impairment charge.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of purchased development software, customer lists, trademarks, software IP, and customer data in the form of verifiable video uploads, player statistics, and academic records. Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the assets are tested periodically for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition.

 

Stock Subscription Revenue

 

The Company records stock issuances at the effective date. If the subscription is not funded upon issuance, the Company records a stock subscription receivable as an asset on the balance sheet. When stock subscription receivables are not received prior to the issuance of financial statements at a reporting date in satisfaction of the requirements under ASC 505-10-45-2, the stock subscription receivable is reclassified as a contra account to stockholder’s equity (deficit) on the balance sheet.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments consisting of CDs. Total cash balances exceeded insured balances by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as of December 31, 2023. The company has cash equivalents that are invested in highly rated money market funds invested only in obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company uses the fair value framework that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques for recognizing financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis and for non-financial assets and liabilities when these items are re-measured. Fair value is considered to be the exchange price in an orderly transaction between market participants, to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. The Company categorizes each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

These levels are:

 

Level 1 – This level consists of valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are identical to the assets or liabilities being measured.

 

Level 2 – This level consists of valuation techniques in which significant inputs include quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are similar to the assets or liabilities being measured and/or quoted prices for assets or liabilities that are identical or similar to the assets or liabilities being measured from markets that are not active. Also, model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets are Level 2 valuation techniques.

 

Level 3 – This level consists of valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are valuation technique inputs that reflect assumptions about inputs that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

The Company’s financial instruments also include accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, their fair values approximate their carrying values on the balance sheet.

 

8

 

 

ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.

 

The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.

 

Due to the short-term nature of all financial assets and liabilities, their carrying value approximates their fair value as of the balance sheet dates.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of internally developed software and net operating loss and research and development tax credit carry forwards for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company converted to a C corporation in August of 2021. As a limited liability company for the 2020 year and through the date of conversion in 2021, the Company’s taxable loss was allocated to members in accordance with their respective percentage of ownership. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the financial statements for the period prior to the Company’s conversion to a C corporation.

 

The Company evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unrecognized tax benefits accrual was zero. The Company will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if incurred. As of September 30, 2024, the 2020 through 2023 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal and state authorities.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenues are contract liabilities for collections on subscription agreements in excess of revenue recognized.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for revenue under the guidance of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers (“ASC 606”).

 

ASC 606 prescribes a five-step model that focuses on transfer of control and entitlement to payment when determining the amount of revenue to be recognized. Under the ASC 606 guidance, an entity is required to perform the following five steps:

 

(1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Revenue from performance obligations satisfied at a point in time consist of sales to individuals representing a one-month subscription and are recognized at the end of the subscription.

 

Revenue from performance obligations satisfied over time consists of the sale of subscription agreements to individual organizations or customers that are more than one month in duration and are recognized on a monthly basis over the life of the subscription agreement. There were $23,668 of open receivables at September 30, 2024 and $58,775 at December 31, 2023.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the period the related obligation is outstanding using the straight-line method. The straight-line method is a reasonable estimate of the effective interest method due to the relatively short maturities of the related debt. Debt issuance costs are included within long-term debt on the balance sheet. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense in the accompanying financial statements. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, unamortized debt issuance costs are $0 and $0, respectively.

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs amounted to ($1,319) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to a refund received and $75,565 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Such costs amounted to $92,290 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $312,295 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Advertising costs are included in advertising and marketing expenses in the statements of operations.

 

Contract Costs

 

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed as incurred as the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is estimated to be one year or less.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, officers, and directors based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported. Stock-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period and over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the common stock equivalents. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, 296,000 and 488,800, respectively, stock options were excluded from dilutive loss per share as their effects were anti-dilutive.

Leases

 

At the inception or modification of a contract, the Company determines whether a lease exists and classifies its leases as an operating or finance lease at commencement. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent their obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

 

As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the lease liability is calculated at lease commencement as the present value of unpaid lease payments using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term and is determined using a portfolio approach based on information available at the commencement date of the lease.

 

The lease asset also reflects any prepaid rent, initial direct costs incurred and lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include optional extension periods when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised.

 

Leases with an initial expected term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Balance Sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For certain classes of underlying assets, the Company has elected to not separate fixed lease components from the fixed non-lease components.

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

The Company capitalizes certain legal, accounting, and other third-party fees that are directly related to the Company’s equity financings, including the Company’s initial public offering, until such financings are consummated. After consummation of an equity financing, these costs are then recorded as a reduction of the proceeds received as a result of the financing. Should a planned equity financing be abandoned, terminated, or significantly delayed, the deferred offering costs would be immediately written off to operating expenses. Upon the closing of the initial public offering in November 2023, all deferred offering costs in the accompanying balance sheets were reclassified from prepaid expenses and other current assets and recorded against the initial public offering proceeds as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. There were no deferred offering costs capitalized as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, such as accounts receivable. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it which are listed below:

 

ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

 

On November 4, 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses," that improves financial reporting by requiring public companies to disclose additional information about certain expenses in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments in the ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07 and intends to adopt and report on this topic as required by this ASU.

6% Convertible Unsecured Promissory Notes

 

On October 15, 2021, the Company entered into nine unsecured convertible notes payable, for $3,300,000, bearing interest of 6% with no monthly payments, and that automatically converted at 50% (as adjusted) of the IPO Conversion Price (as defined in such notes) upon an initial public offering (IPO). The Company had the option to prepay the notes prior to March 31, 2022.

 

On November 12, 2021, the Company entered into twelve unsecured convertible notes payable, for $1,205,000, bearing interest of 6%, with no monthly payments, and that automatically converted at 50% (as adjusted) of the IPO Conversion Price upon an IPO. The Company had the option to prepay the notes prior to March 31, 2022.

 

On December 23, 2021, the Company entered into six unsecured convertible notes payable, for $1,800,000, bearing interest of 6%, with no monthly payments, and that automatically converted at 50% (as adjusted) of the IPO Conversion Price upon an IPO. The Company had the option to prepay the notes prior to March 31, 2022.

 

In connection with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering on November 16, 2023, the Company’s 6% convertible unsecured promissory notes with aggregate outstanding principal of $6,305,000 automatically converted into an aggregate of 2,774,200 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.50 per share in accordance with the terms of these promissory notes and a settlement notice issued on November 13, 2023, undertaking to effect conversions of principal as if 110% of the principal being converted was being converted to address possible claims with respect to the increase of the outstanding principal under the convertible notes to 110% of the outstanding principal amount. All accrued interest on the principal under the notes was waived in accordance with the terms of the notes.

 

8% Convertible Unsecured Promissory Notes

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into thirteen unsecured convertible notes payable, for $1,315,000 bearing interest of 8%, with no monthly payments, and that automatically converted at 50% of the IPO Conversion Price upon an IPO. Notes may only be prepaid by the Company with the written consent of the holder prior to the maturity date, which was initially August 8, 2023.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into two unsecured convertible notes payable, for $150,000 bearing interest of 8%, with no monthly payments, and that automatically converted at 50% of fair value (less any accrued interest) upon IPO or other “sale of control” as defined in the agreement. Notes may only be prepaid by the Company with the written consent of the holder prior to the maturity date, which was initially August 8, 2023.

 

On August 7, 2023, the fifteen 8% convertible notes payable with outstanding balances of $1,465,000 and maturity date of August 8, 2023, were amended by written agreement. The agreement amended the maturity date of all of these convertible notes to August 8, 2025. Pursuant to the agreement, a provision in the convertible notes providing for an increase of the outstanding balance under the convertible notes to 120% of the original principal amount upon non-repayment by the maturity date was accelerated, and the outstanding balance under the convertible notes was increased in aggregate to $1,758,000. The agreement also provided for the immediate conversion of the additional amount of the outstanding balance under the convertible notes into 146,500 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share instead of the applicable optional conversion price, approximately $3.29 per share at the time of the conversion, not including any accrued but unpaid interest, which was waived with respect to the converted outstanding balance. As a result, the 8% convertible unsecured promissory notes’ aggregate underlying principal was $1,465,000 both before and after such increase of the outstanding balance and conversion of such increase.

 

In connection with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, the Company’s 8% convertible unsecured promissory notes with aggregate outstanding principal of $1,465,000 automatically converted into an aggregate of 586,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.50 per share in accordance with their terms.

The proceeds were automatically used to repay the outstanding principal underlying the 8% nonconvertible promissory notes consisting of $2,350,000. On the same date, a total of $113,304 in accrued interest under the promissory notes became due. The outstanding accrued interest balance under these promissory notes was $101,468 as of September 30, 2024.

In December 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease their office space to an unrelated party under an operating lease agreement.

In November 2022, the company signed a 6-month short-term lease for office space which expired on April 30, 2023. Rent for the first month was $6,742 and was $7,491 plus rental tax for each subsequent month through April 2023. The Company amended and renewed this office space lease under a long-term operating lease which commenced on May 4, 2023. Monthly rent ranged from $7,359 to $8,042 per month plus tax. The lease contains escalating rental payments and one option to renew for up to three years. The exercise of the lease renewal option is at the Company’s sole discretion. The lease agreement does not include any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Lease expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $21,155 and $63,465, respectively. Lease expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $21,155 and $141,867 respectively.

 

Leases with an initial expected term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Balance Sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For certain classes of underlying assets, the Company has elected to not separate fixed lease components from the fixed non-lease components. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were leases with an expected term greater than 12 months. The weighted average remaining lease term (in years) is 1.83 and the weighted average discount rate is 3.47%.

 

Total lease assets and liabilities were as follows:

 

   September 30,   December 31, 
   2024   2023 
         
Operating lease right of use asset  $259,121   $259,121 
Less: operating asset lease accumulated depreciation   (109,113)   (50,678)
Net operating lease right of use asset  $150,008    208,443 
Current operating lease liability  $87,994   $83,736 
Noncurrent operating lease liability   77,761    144,325 
Total operating lease liability  $165,755   $228,061 

 

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases as of September 30, 2024 were as follows:

Note 9 - Income Taxes

 

There was deferred tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $0 and no current tax expense or deferred tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Deferred tax income was $65,000 as of December 31, 2023.

 

Deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

 

   September 30,
2024
   December 31,
2023
 
Deferred Tax Asset        
Net operating loss carryforwards  $4,710,000   $3,240,000 
Internally developed software / Intangibles   750,000    880,000 
Furniture and fixtures   (5,000)   (1,000)
Charitable Contribution Carryforward   3,000      
R&D Tax Credit Carryforwards   59,000    199,000 
AZ Refundable R&D Tax Credit   0    65,000 
           
Net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance  $5,517,000   $4,383,000 
           
Less valuation allowance   (5,517,000)   (4,318,000)
           
Net deferred tax assets  $0   $65,000 

 

The Company has a valuation allowance against most of the amount of its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realization of the deferred tax assets due to the operating loss history of the Company. The Company currently provides a valuation allowance against deferred taxes when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance could be reduced or eliminated based on future earnings and future estimates of taxable income.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate is lower than what would be expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to income from continuing operations primarily because of expenses deductible for financial reporting purposes that are not deductible for tax purposes and tax-exempt income.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $18,200,000 and $12,500,000, respectively, of federal net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. Under current tax law, the federal net operating losses generated do not expire and may be carried forward indefinitely. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has approximately $59,000 and $264,000, respectively, of federal and state research and development credits. The 2023 Arizona research and development credit of $65,000 is refundable, and the remaining federal credit from 2023 will expire in 2043, the 2022 credits expire in 2042, and the 2021 credits expire in 2042.

In March 2023 and April 2023, the Company conducted one private placement, and in May 2023 the Company completed a subsequent private placement in which the Company entered into subscription agreements with a number of accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company issued 8% unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,350,000, which bear interest at the annual rate of 8%, and accompanying warrants to purchase an aggregate of 940,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $2.50 per share. The warrants may be voluntarily exercised for cash prior to the maturity date of the promissory notes or will be automatically exercised as described below. The amount outstanding under the 8% unsecured promissory notes must be repaid upon the earlier to occur of the consummation of a Liquidity Event or the second anniversary of the initial closing date of the respective private placement (March 17, 2025 as to $1,500,000 principal and May 2, 2025 as to $850,000 principal). If a Liquidity Event occurs before the second anniversary of the initial closing date of the applicable private placement, the warrants will be automatically exercised as to the unexercised portion of the warrants, the outstanding balance under the 8% unsecured promissory notes will be deemed repaid in the amount of the exercise price for the automatic exercise of the unexercised portion of the related warrants, with any remaining balance owed on the promissory notes to be repaid in cash. If a Liquidity Event does not occur before the second anniversary of the initial closing date of the applicable private placement, then both principal and interest outstanding under the notes must be repaid in cash. The Company agreed to register the resale all of the shares of common stock that such warrants may or shall be exercised to purchase with the shares being registered for sale in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The Company must generally keep the registration statement effective for a period as shall be required to permit the investors to complete the offer and sale of their shares. The Company and the investors also provided customary mutual indemnification relating to any damages arising from such registration.

 

Boustead acted as placement agent in these private placements. Pursuant to the Company’s engagement letter agreement with Boustead, in addition to a commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised in the private placements, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross proceeds raised in the private placements, and payment of certain other expenses, the Company agreed to issue Boustead five-year warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 7% of the common stock underlying the warrants accompanying the 8% unsecured promissory notes at an exercise price equal to the exercise price as defined in such warrants. Under the engagement letter with Boustead, its placement agent’s warrants must be registered for resale with the Company’s initial public offering. However, Boustead has informally deferred these registration rights with respect to the registration statement for the initial public offering.

  

Under the subscription agreements with the investors in the first of these two private placements, the Company was required to use the first $450,000 of the net proceeds from the private placement to expand its current operations, including its technology and intellectual property portfolio, and to fund the costs of its initial public offering. The Company was required to use the next $800,000 of the net proceeds from the private placement for the Repurchase. The Repurchase was required to be consummated only to the extent that it did not impair the Company’s capital within the meaning of Section 160 of the DGCL or the Company’s ability to pay down its debts as they become due. The Company was required to enter into an agreement with Mr. Gile providing that Mr. Gile will use the proceeds of the repurchase to settle an existing lawsuit filed against Mr. Gile by John Dorsey, a former officer and director of the Company, subject to a full release of Mr. Gile and the Company, and that Mr. Gile will resign from the board of directors of the Company and from any officer position with the Company upon the repurchase. The Company was required to use any remaining net proceeds from the private placement, which consisted of $250,000 less placement agent fees and expenses, for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Subsequently, the Company used the net proceeds as required.

Claim of John Dorsey

 

On or about November 29, 2022, John Dorsey, a former Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, through his counsel, sent the Company a letter demanding full payment on a $50,000 loan that Mr. Dorsey allegedly made to the Company on or about July 21, 2022 while Mr. Dorsey was the Chief Executive Officer of the Company that was due and payable two weeks thereafter (the “Alleged Loan”). The Company has generally denied entering into a binding agreement with Mr. Dorsey on those terms and that payment is due and owing (the “Loan Dispute”).  Under the Settlement Agreement, Release of Claims, and Covenant Not To Sue, dated as of January 12, 2023, between the Company and Mr. Dorsey (the “January 2023 Dorsey Settlement Agreement”), Mr. Dorsey agreed to a discharge of the Alleged Loan and waiver and release of claims relating to the Alleged Loan and Loan Dispute and covenant not to sue on the basis of such claims or otherwise commence any action or proceeding that would be inconsistent with the release of such claims. The Company agreed to pay Mr. Dorsey $10,000 and issue a promissory note to Mr. Dorsey in the principal amount of $40,000 payable on the earlier of ten business days following the successful closing of an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock that generates at least $1 million in net proceeds to the Company or July 1, 2023. Mr. Dorsey orally waived enforcement of the repayment obligation until the tenth day following the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering. The net balance of this promissory note was $40,000 as of September 30, 2023. On November 16, 2023, in connection with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, the balance of $40,000 became due and payable within ten days. The balance was fully repaid as of November 22, 2023.

 

Amendment to Midwestern Settlement Agreement

 

On April 11, 2024, under an Amendment No. 1 to Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Amendment to Midwestern Release Agreement”), dated as of April 11, 2024, between the Company and Midwestern Interactive, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (“Midwestern”), the Company and Midwestern agreed to amend the Settlement Agreement and Release, dated as of December 12, 2023, between the Company and Midwestern (the “Midwestern Release Agreement”). Pursuant to the Midwestern Release Agreement, the Company was required to pay Midwestern a total of $600,000 (the “Midwestern Release Amount”), of which $300,000 was to be paid within three business days of December 12, 2023, and the remaining $300,000 (the “Second Tranche”) was to be paid on or before April 12, 2024. The Company paid the first amount of $300,000 timely and in full. Under the Amendment to Midwestern Release Agreement, the Second Tranche must be paid with interest on the outstanding amount at 6% per annum commencing April 13, 2024, according to the following schedule: $200,000 must be paid on or before April 12, 2024; $25,000 with accrued interest must be paid on or before May 31, 2024; $25,000 with accrued interest must be paid on or before September 30, 2024; $25,000 with accrued interest must be paid on or before July 31, 2024; and $25,000 with accrued interest must be paid on or before August 31, 2024.

 

In addition, the Company agreed to execute an Amended Stipulation to Final Judgment and Confessed Judgment (the “Midwestern Stipulation”) and an Amended Affidavit of Verified Confession of Judgment in favor of Midwestern as to the obligations to pay the Midwestern Release Amount plus interest accruing on the unpaid portion of the Midwestern Release Amount from and including April 13, 2024 plus any costs or expenses, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and costs expended to pursue the matter to judgment, and to enforce and collect the judgment, if necessary, if the terms and conditions of the Midwestern Settlement Agreement, as amended, and the Midwestern Stipulation are not fully adhered to.

 

The Company and Midwestern entered into the Midwestern Release Agreement, as amended, to resolve a dispute between them involving allegations, on the one hand, by Midwestern that it performed work on behalf of the Company for which Midwestern had not been paid pursuant to a Work for Hire – Acknowledgement and Assignment, dated December 21, 2022 (the “Work For Hire Agreement”), and, on the other hand, by the Company that Midwestern did not perform as required by the Work For Hire Agreement.

The Termination Agreement Amendment amends and supplements the Boustead Termination Agreement (as defined in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations – Termination Agreement with Boustead Securities, LLC”) to provide that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable to Boustead pursuant to the Boustead Termination Agreement will be limited to no more than 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to the execution of the Boustead Termination Agreement, or 3,621,725 shares of common stock, which number of shares shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number of shares of common stock issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by the Boustead Termination Agreement under applicable rules of the NYSE American (the “Termination Shares Exchange Cap”), unless the Company’s stockholders have approved the issuance of common stock pursuant to the Boustead Termination Agreement in excess of that amount in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE American (the “Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval”).

The Termination Agreement Amendment states that the Company will be required to file a registration statement on Form S-4 that includes a joint proxy statement/prospectus relating to a stockholders meeting of the Company (the “DRCR Transaction Stockholders Meeting”) pursuant to a stock purchase agreement to be entered into in connection with the DRCR Term Sheet. The Termination Agreement Amendment provides that the Company will solicit proxies to vote for the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval at the DRCR Transaction Stockholders Meeting and to include all necessary information to obtain the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval in the related proxy statement. If the Company files a proxy statement in connection with any other meeting of stockholders, or an information statement in connection with a written consent of stockholders in lieu of a stockholders meeting, prior to the DRCR Transaction Stockholders Meeting, it will include a proposal to obtain the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval in such proxy statement and solicit proxies for such Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval, or include disclosure of the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval in such information statement, in each case in accordance with applicable rules of the SEC to obtain the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval.

 

The Termination Agreement Amendment provides that if the Company fails to obtain the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval by the Extended Meeting Deadline (as defined in the Termination Agreement Amendment), then the Company will promptly, and in any event within 15 days of the Extended Meeting Deadline, make a true up cash payment to Boustead in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of additional shares of common stock that Boustead would have received pursuant to the Boustead Termination Agreement, but for the Termination Shares Exchange Cap, multiplied by (ii) the value weighted average price of the common stock for the 30-day period ending on the day of the Extended Meeting Deadline.

 

The execution of the Termination Agreement Amendment was determined to be necessary in order for the Company and Boustead to effectuate the Termination Agreement.

 

On October 17, 2024, the Company issued the Initial Termination Shares (as defined in “—Contractual Obligations – Termination Agreement with Boustead Securities, LLC”) to Boustead, resulting in the termination of the Boustead Engagement Letter (as defined in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations – Termination Agreement with Boustead Securities, LLC”) and the Boustead Right of First Refusal (as defined in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations – Termination Agreement with Boustead Securities, LLC”).

The October 2024 Reduced Exercise Price Offer was subject to certain terms and conditions, including the following: (i) The FirstFire Warrants may only be exercised at the October 2024 Reduced Exercise Price on or prior to November 8, 2024; (ii) no adjustment to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the FirstFirst Warrants could occur as a result of the October 2024 Reduced Exercise Price Offer or any exercise of the FirstFire Warrants according to its terms; (iii) the October 2024 Reduced Exercise Price Offer had no effect on the terms and conditions of the Redemption Agreement, such that any exercise of the FirstFire Warrants at the Reduced Exercise Price would reduce the Redemption Price for the remaining unexercised portion of the FirstFire Warrants by the same amount as would apply to an exercise of the FirstFire Warrants at the initial exercise price of $0.30 per share; and (iv) the October 2024 Reduced Exercise Price Offer was conditioned on its approval by the board of directors of the Company. In addition, under the terms of the October 2024 Reduced Exercise Price Offer, any attempt to exercise the FirstFire Warrants by cashless exercise at the Reduced Exercise Price will be null and void.

 

We have evaluated subsequent events through November 14, 2024, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Based on our evaluation, no additional events than listed above have occurred that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.

Overview

 

We are a technology company developing and operating a platform to give significantly more student-athletes the opportunity to go to college and continue playing sports. Our platform, Signing Day Sports, is a digital ecosystem to help student-athletes get discovered and recruited by coaches and recruiters across the country. We fully support football, baseball, softball, and men’s and women’s soccer, and we plan to expand the Signing Day Sports platform to include additional sports. Each sport is led by former professional athletes and coaches who know what it takes to get to the big leagues.

 

Signing Day Sports launched in 2019. During the first nine months of 2024, 6,762 aspiring high school athletes and groups throughout the United States subscribed to the Signing Day Sports platform. Colleges in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I, Division II, and Division III, and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), have utilized our platform for recruitment purposes.

 

In short, we offer a comprehensive solution that services the needs of all participants in the sports recruitment process. Our goal is to change the way sports recruitment is done for the betterment of everyone.

Our Historical Performance

 

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. We have incurred losses for each period from our inception and a significant accumulated deficit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our net loss was approximately $5.413 million and approximately $2.676 million, respectively, and our net cash used in operating activities was approximately $3.489 million and approximately $1.497 million, respectively. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our net loss was approximately $5.478 million and approximately $6.674 million, respectively, and our cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.848 million and approximately $4.928 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $22.372 million and $16.959 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, we had total current liabilities of approximately $2.605 million, compared to approximately $1,000 in cash and cash equivalents. For more information regarding our financial condition, see “Our current liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition or liquidity, and we could have difficulty fulfilling our financial obligations, which may have a material adverse effect on us.” in Part II. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

In anticipation of a transaction intended to allow us to continue as a going concern, on September 18, 2024, the Company entered into a Binding Term Sheet to acquire 99.13% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of DRCR, in exchange for, among other consideration, the issuance of common stock and preferred stock to the stockholders of DRCR that would constitute approximately 91.76% of the as-converted and fully-diluted shares of the Company. We believe that DRCR’s reported growth, revenue generation, profitability, financial resources, and capital-raising abilities, following the Company’s acquisition of DRCR, if successful, will significantly enhance the Company’s revenue generation, technical capabilities, profitability, and ability to raise capital. The transaction remains subject to execution of definitive stock purchase agreement(s) and the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions and post-closing conditions. There can be no assurance that definitive stock purchase agreement(s) will be entered into or that the transaction will be consummated. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources – Recent Developments – Amendment to Binding Term Sheet” and “—Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations – Binding Term Sheet”. We are also actively seeking to raise funds, primarily to pay off existing liabilities, rather than for growth or expansion. If we are successful in these regards, we will seek substantial additional capital to fund our planned operations and growth until September 30, 2025 and for at least 12 months beyond that period in order to transition to profitable operations and finance operations primarily from profits. Such acquisition and funding, if obtained, is expected to mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these regards, or that its financial resources will be sufficient to remain in operation or that necessary financing will be available on satisfactory terms, if at all. The Company may be forced to significantly reduce its spending, delay or cancel its planned activities, sell off substantial assets, or substantially change its business plans or corporate or capital structure. There can also be no assurance that the Company will ever succeed in generating sufficient revenues to continue its operations as a going concern. For further discussion, see “We will need to obtain additional funding to continue operations. If we fail to obtain the necessary financing or fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then we may be unable to continue our operations and be forced to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue our operations or explore other strategies.” in Part II. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and “—Liquidity and Capital Resources – Going Concern” below.

 

Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

have an auditor report on our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”);

 

present three years, and may instead present only two years, of audited financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure in certain filings with the SEC;

 

comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

 

comply with certain greenhouse gas emissions disclosure and related third-party assurance requirements;

 

submit certain executive compensation matters to stockholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and

 

disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

29

 

We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1,235,000,000, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including as to: (i) the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) scaled executive compensation disclosures; (iii) presenting two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years; and (iv) compliance with certain greenhouse gas emissions disclosure and related third-party assurance requirements.

 

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

 

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

 

our ability to acquire new customers and users or retain existing customers and users;

 

our ability to offer competitive product pricing;

 

our ability to broaden product offerings;

 

our ability to leverage technology and use and develop efficient processes;

 

our ability to attract and retain talented employees;

 

industry demand and competition; and

 

market conditions and our market position.

32

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,408. As of September 30, 2024, we also had total current liabilities of $2,604,701. As of September 30, 2024, we have financed our operations primarily from private placements of securities and our initial public offering.

 

As of September 30, 2024, our levels of cash will only be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for our operations and other cash requirements until September 30, 2025 and for at least 12 months beyond that period, including our costs associated with being a public reporting company, if we receive additional financing. We may also in the future require additional or alternative cash resources due to changing business conditions, pursuit of rapid product development, significant expansion or introduction of major marketing campaigns, or to fund significant business investments or acquisitions. Since our own financial resources may be insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities in public offerings, private placements or credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Our auditor’s opinion included in our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 contain an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In recent years, we have suffered recurring losses from operations, negative working capital and cash outflows from operating activities, and therefore have been dependent upon external sources for financing our operations.

 

In anticipation of a transaction intended to allow us to continue as a going concern, on September 18, 2024, the Company entered into a Binding Term Sheet to acquire 99.13% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of DRCR, in exchange for, among other consideration, the issuance of common stock and preferred stock to the stockholders of DRCR that would constitute approximately 91.76% of the as-converted and fully-diluted shares of the Company. We believe that DRCR’s reported growth, revenue generation, profitability, financial resources, and capital-raising abilities, following the Company’s acquisition of DRCR, if successful, will significantly enhance the Company’s revenue generation, technical capabilities, profitability, and ability to raise capital. The transaction remains subject to execution of definitive stock purchase agreement(s) and the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions and post-closing conditions. There can be no assurance that definitive stock purchase agreement(s) will be entered into or that the transaction will be consummated. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources – Recent Developments”. We are also actively seeking to raise funds, primarily to pay off existing liabilities, rather than for growth or expansion. If we are successful in these regards, we will seek substantial additional capital to fund our planned operations and growth until September 30, 2025 and for at least 12 months beyond that period in order to transition to profitable operations and finance operations primarily from profits. Such acquisition and funding, if obtained, is expected to mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these regards, or that its financial resources will be sufficient to remain in operation or that necessary financing will be available on satisfactory terms, if at all. The Company may be forced to significantly reduce its spending, delay or cancel its planned activities, sell off substantial assets, or substantially change its business plans or corporate or capital structure. There can also be no assurance that the Company will ever succeed in generating sufficient revenues to continue its operations as a going concern. For further discussion, see “We will need to obtain additional funding to continue operations. If we fail to obtain the necessary financing or fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then we may be unable to continue our operations and be forced to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue our operations or explore other strategies.” in Part II. Item 1A. “Risk Factors”.

 

The financial statements that accompany this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On August 31, 2022, the Company adopted the Signing Day Sports, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Plan”) for the purpose of granting restricted stock, stock options, and other forms of incentive compensation to officers, employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. On February 27, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved Amendment No. 1 to the Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan. On September 18, 2024, the stockholders of the Company approved the Signing Day Sports, Inc. Amended and Restated 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, which further increased the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan to 4,500,000 shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2024, stock options have been granted under the Plan to certain officers, directors, employees, and consultants that may be exercised to purchase a total of 296,000 shares of common stock, not including stock options that terminated without exercise. In addition, as of September 30, 2024, a total of 1,924,417 shares of restricted stock have been granted under the Plan, not including restricted stock grants that had been forfeited due to employee, officer, or director departures prior to vesting.

Amendment to Termination Agreement; Termination of Engagement Letter and Right of First Refusal of Boustead Securities, LLC

 

On October 15, 2024, the Company entered into a letter agreement, dated as of October 15, 2024 (the “Termination Agreement Amendment”), between the Company and Boustead Securities, LLC, a California limited liability company and a registered broker-dealer (“Boustead”). The Termination Agreement Amendment amends and supplements the Boustead Termination Agreement (as defined in “—Contractual Obligations – Termination Agreement with Boustead Securities, LLC”) to provide that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Boustead Termination Agreement, the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable to Boustead pursuant to the Boustead Termination Agreement will be limited to no more than 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to the execution of the Boustead Termination Agreement, or 3,621,725 shares of common stock, which number of shares shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number of shares of common stock issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by the Boustead Termination Agreement under applicable rules of the NYSE American (the “Termination Shares Exchange Cap”), unless the Company’s stockholders have approved the issuance of common stock pursuant to the Boustead Termination Agreement in excess of that amount in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE American (the “Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval”).

 

The Termination Agreement Amendment states that the Company will be required to file a registration statement on Form S-4 that includes a joint proxy statement/prospectus relating to a stockholders’ meeting of the Company (the “DRCR Transaction Stockholders Meeting”) pursuant to a stock purchase agreement to be entered into in connection with the DRCR Term Sheet. The Termination Agreement Amendment provides that the Company will solicit proxies to vote for the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval at the DRCR Transaction Stockholders Meeting and to include all necessary information to obtain the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval in the related proxy statement. If the Company files a proxy statement in connection with any other meeting of stockholders, or an information statement in connection with a written consent of stockholders in lieu of a stockholders meeting, prior to the DRCR Transaction Stockholders Meeting, it will include a proposal to obtain the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval in such proxy statement and solicit proxies for such Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval, or include disclosure of the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval in such information statement, in each case in accordance with applicable rules of the SEC to obtain the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval.

 

The Termination Agreement Amendment provides that if the Company fails to obtain the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval by the Extended Meeting Deadline (as defined in the Termination Agreement Amendment), then the Company will promptly, and in any event within 15 days of the Extended Meeting Deadline, make a true up cash payment to Boustead in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of additional shares of common stock that Boustead would have received pursuant to the Boustead Termination Agreement, but for the Termination Shares Exchange Cap, multiplied by (ii) the value weighted average price of the common stock for the 30-day period ending on the day of the Extended Meeting Deadline.

 

The execution of the Termination Agreement Amendment was determined to be necessary in order for the Company and Boustead to effectuate the Termination Agreement.

Binding Term Sheet

 

On September 18, 2024, the Company entered into the DRCR Term Sheet among the Company, DRCR, Gibbons, and Link (together with Gibbons, “the Sellers”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein and in one or more stock purchase agreements to be entered into among the Company, DRCR, the Sellers and any additional stockholders of DRCR, the Company will acquire from the Sellers and any such additional stockholders of DRCR shares of DRCR common stock and preferred stock constituting between 95% and 99% of the issued and outstanding shares of DRCR’s share capital. In consideration for the acquired shares, the Sellers and the other stockholders of DRCR whose shares are acquired by the Company will be issued shares of the Company’s common stock constituting approximately 91.76% of the post-transaction shares of the Company’s common stock on an as-converted and fully-diluted basis, and the pre-transaction stockholders of the Company will hold approximately 8.24% of the Company’s post-transaction shares of common stock on an as-converted and fully-diluted basis, subject to certain assumptions and adjustments. 19.99% of the shares that the Company will issue to the Sellers and other stockholders of DRCR will be common stock and the remainder will be shares of Company preferred stock that will have no voting or dividend rights and that, upon approval by the Company’s stockholders, will automatically convert into such number of shares of Company common stock as is applicable based upon the percentage of the post-transaction shares of Company common stock that they are entitled to on an as-converted basis minus the shares of Company common stock issued to them by the Company upon the closing of the transaction contemplated by the DRCR Term Sheet (the “DRCR Term Sheet Closing”).

 

37

 

 

The DRCR Term Sheet also provides that the Company and DRCR will use commercially reasonable efforts to secure funding of at least $2.0 million as soon as possible, the net proceeds of which will be equally split between the Company and DRCR and are to be used for operations and, in the case of the Company, to pay down its indebtedness and other liabilities. Such division of the net proceeds of any such funding will be effected by the Company loaning one-half of such proceeds to DRCR, which loans will be forgiven (i) upon the DRCR Term Sheet Closing or (ii) upon DRCR’s payment of the break-up fee as described below.

 

The DRCR Term Sheet also provides that the assets of each of the Company and DRCR will be separately held in newly-formed subsidiaries of the Company, and contains provisions relating to certain changes to the Company’s management and board of directors, including that Gibbons will be appointed the chief executive officer of the Company at the DRCR Term Sheet Closing, that two members of the board of directors of the Company will be replaced by nominees of DRCR at the DRCR Term Sheet Closing, and that, subject to stockholder approval, three of the Company’s post-Closing board of directors will be nominees of DRCR’s board of directors, one nominee will be of the Company’s board of directors, and one will be a joint nominee of DRCR’s and the Company’s boards of directors.

 

Although the DRCR Term Sheet Closing will not be subject to stockholder approval, the conversion of the preferred stock issuable to the Sellers and other sellers at the DRCR Term Sheet Closing and the related change in control that will occur upon such conversion will be subject to stockholder approval. Stockholder approval will also be required for the election of the parties’ nominees to the Company’s board of directors. Prior to the conversion of the preferred stock or appointment of each party’s nominees to the Company’s board of directors, the Company will seek and must obtain the approval of a new listing application from the NYSE American.

 

The DRCR Term Sheet provides that the DRCR Term Sheet Closing will occur as soon as reasonably practicable and that the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the Closing on or before October 31, 2024.

 

The DRCR Term Sheet also provides that the Company, DRCR, and the Sellers will be subject to a non-solicitation period and a no-shop provision for 30 days following the date of the DRCR Term Sheet. The DRCR Term Sheet further provides for a $500,000 break-up fee upon termination of the DRCR Term Sheet due to an undisputable uncured material breach by the Company, on the one hand, or DRCR or either of the Sellers, on the other hand, upon demand by the other.

 

All of the foregoing terms are subject to change upon the negotiation and execution of definitive stock purchase agreement(s). The DRCR Term Sheet Closing will be subject to the terms and conditions of the definitive stock purchase agreement(s), including completion of due diligence and satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions. There can be no assurance that definitive stock purchase agreement(s) will be entered into or that the proposed transactions will be consummated.

 

The DRCR Term Sheet is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such exhibit.

Termination Agreement with Boustead Securities, LLC

 

On September 18, 2024, the Company entered into a Termination Agreement, dated as of September 18, 2024 (the “Boustead Termination Agreement”), with Boustead.

The Boustead Termination Agreement also provides for the termination of the right of first refusal (the “Boustead Right of First Refusal”) provided under the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of November 13, 2023, between the Company and Boustead, as representative of the underwriters in connection with the Company’s firm commitment underwritten initial public offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”), in exchange for the issuance of the Termination Shares (as defined below).

 

38

 

 

The Boustead Termination Agreement provides that the Company will issue to Boustead 3,000,000 shares (the “Initial Termination Shares”) of the Company’s common stock by the later of the date that is (i) five business days after the date of the Boustead Termination Agreement and (ii) the date that the NYSE American authorizes the issuance of the Initial Termination Shares (the “Termination Date”). On the Termination Date, the Boustead Engagement Letter and the Boustead Right of First Refusal and rights and obligations pursuant to the Boustead Engagement Letter and the Boustead Right of First Refusal will be terminated except with respect to certain customary surviving provisions.

 

The Boustead Termination Agreement provides that upon issuance of common stock or other securities that are exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, common stock of the Company to any third party (other than Boustead or any affiliate of Boustead), the Company will issue to Boustead a number of shares of common stock equal to 10.35% of the shares of common stock (or other securities) so issued by the Company in any such transaction other than a Change in Control (as defined in the Boustead Termination Agreement) (the “Additional Termination Shares,” and, together with the Initial Termination Shares, the “Termination Shares”), by the later of (i) five business days after the date of such issuance and (ii) the date that the NYSE American authorizes the issuance of the Additional Termination Shares. The Company’s obligation to issue Additional Termination Shares will cease immediately prior to the effective date of a Change in Control and, for the avoidance of doubt, Boustead will not be entitled to any percentage of the securities issued by the Company in connection with the Change in Control.

 

The Termination Shares have piggyback registration rights. The Boustead Termination Agreement provides that Boustead will not sell more than 10% of the total trading volume on any trading day, provided that the Termination Shares are registered for resale under an effective registration statement. Boustead will also agree to any leak-out provisions requested by the Company, which will be consistent with any leak-out agreement signed by other parties in connection with a Change in Control.

 

In addition, the Boustead Termination Agreement requires that if the Company raises at least $1 million in gross proceeds from a financing, the Company will pay Boustead $100,000 as partial consideration under the Boustead Termination Agreement and $68,467.43 to pay an existing account payable owed by the Company to Boustead.

 

The Boustead Termination Agreement was entered into due to the interest of each party to the Boustead Termination Agreement to end all material remaining obligations to the other party in an amicable manner. In addition, the execution of the Boustead Termination Agreement was determined to be necessary in order for the Company and DRCR to enter into the DRCR Term Sheet.

 

The Boustead Termination Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such exhibit.

On July 23, 2024, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement (the “Adams Consulting Agreement”), dated as of July 23, 2024, with Clayton Adams (“Adams”). The Adams Consulting Agreement provided that Adams will provide certain consulting services to the Company on mergers, acquisitions, financing sources, public company and governance matters, building market awareness, and other duties as may reasonably be requested by the Company. In consideration for these services, the Company granted Adams 127,826 shares of common stock (the “Plan Shares”) under the Plan. In addition, the Consulting Agreement provided that the Company will grant Adams 668,841 shares of common stock (the “Adams Deferred Shares”), as a private placement not subject to the terms of the Plan, under a separate Non-Plan Restricted Stock Award Agreement entered into between the Company and Adams on July 23, 2024, dated as of July 23, 2024 (the “Adams Deferred Award Agreement”), within one (1) business day of the date of the later of the authorization of the grant of the Adams Deferred Shares by (i) the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) and (ii) the board of directors of the Company or the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee approved the grants of the Plan Shares and the Adams Deferred Shares on July 22, 2024.

 

On July 25, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Consulting Agreement with Adams, dated as of July 25, 2024 (the “Adams Consulting Agreement Amendment”).

The Compensation Committee approved the grant of the Birddog Deferred Shares on July 25, 2024. The Birddog Deferred Award Agreement provides certain registration rights with respect to the Birddog Deferred Shares and also provides that the grant of the Birddog Deferred Shares is subject to authorization by the NYSE American. Pursuant to the terms of the Adams Consulting Agreement Amendment, the Company will not grant the Adams Deferred Shares. On August 2, 2024, the NYSE American authorized the issuance of the Birddog Deferred Shares, and the Birddog Deferred Shares were issued on August 5, 2024.

 

In addition, on July 23, 2024, the Company entered into a subscription agreement, dated as of July 23, 2024, with Adams (the “Subscription Agreement”). The Subscription Agreement provided for the payment of $100,000 by Adams to the Company and the issuance of a pre-funded warrant to purchase 333,333 shares of common stock of the Company to Adams at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Adams Warrant”). The Subscription Agreement also provided certain registration rights with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Adams Warrant. The Adams Warrant was subject to a limitation on beneficial ownership to 4.99% of the common stock that would be outstanding immediately after exercise. The Adams Warrant became exercisable on the date that the NYSE American authorized the issuance of shares pursuant to exercise of the Adams Warrant with respect to the number of shares authorized for such issuance, or the date that the Company is no longer listed on the NYSE American. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company issued the Adams Warrant to Adams on July 23, 2024.

Placement Agent Compensation Relating to Adams Warrant Transaction

Contractual Obligations to Boustead Securities, LLC

 

Prior to its termination pursuant to the Boustead Termination Agreement, under the Boustead Engagement Letter, we were required to compensate Boustead with a cash fee equal to 7% and non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of securities in an investment transaction, or up to 10% of the gross proceeds from certain other merger, acquisition, or joint venture, strategic alliance, license, research and development, or other similar transactions, with a party, including any investor in a private placement in which Boustead served as placement agent, or in our initial public offering in November 2023, or who became aware of the Company or who became known to the Company prior to the termination or expiration of the Boustead Engagement Letter, for such transactions that occur during the 12-month period following the termination or expiration of the Boustead Engagement Letter (the “Tail Rights”). The Boustead Engagement Letter would have expired upon the later to occur of November 16, 2024 (12 months from the completion date of the initial public offering), or mutual written agreement of the Company and Boustead. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Boustead Engagement Letter had been terminated for “Cause,” which shall mean a material breach by Boustead of the Boustead Engagement Letter, and which such material breach is not cured, no Tail Rights would have been due.

 

Prior to the termination of the Boustead Engagement Letter and the Boustead Right of First Refusal pursuant to the Boustead Termination Agreement, the Boustead Engagement Letter and the Underwriting Agreement provided Boustead the Boustead Right of First Refusal, which was a right of first refusal of Boustead for two years following the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering on November 16, 2023, or 18 months following the termination or expiration of the engagement with Boustead to act as financial advisor or to act as joint financial advisor on or at least equal economic terms on any public or private financing (debt or equity), merger, business combination, recapitalization or sale of some or all of our equity or our assets.  In the event that we had engaged Boustead to provide such services, Boustead would be required to be compensated consistent with the Boustead Engagement Letter, unless we mutually agreed otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Boustead Engagement Letter was terminated for “Cause,” which shall mean a material breach by Boustead of the engagement agreement, and which such material breach is not cured, the Boustead Right of First Refusal would have terminated, and the Company would have been entitled to pursue any future transaction without adhering to the terms of the Boustead Right of First Refusal. The exercise of such right of termination for cause would have eliminated the Company’s obligations with respect to the provisions of the Boustead Engagement Letter relating to the Boustead Right of First Refusal.

 

Under the Boustead Engagement Letter, in connection with a transaction as to which Boustead had duly exercised the Boustead Right of First Refusal or was entitled to the Tail Rights, Boustead was required to receive compensation as follows:

 

other than normal course of business activities, as to any sale, merger, acquisition, joint venture, strategic alliance, license, research and development, or other similar agreements, a percentage fee of the Aggregate Consideration (defined to include amounts paid or received, indebtedness assumed or remaining outstanding, fair market value of excluded assets, fair market value of retained or non-acquired ownership interests, and contingent payments in connection with the transaction) calculated as follows:

 

o10.0% for Aggregate Consideration of less than $10,000,000; plus
o8.0% for Aggregate Consideration between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000; plus
o6.0% for Aggregate Consideration between $25,000,001 and $50,000,000; plus
o4.0% for Aggregate Consideration between $50,000,001 and $75,000,000; plus
o2.0% for Aggregate Consideration between $75,000,001 and $100,000,000; plus
o1.0% for Aggregate Consideration above $100,000,000;

 

for any investment transaction including any common stock, preferred stock, convertible stock, limited liability company or limited partnership memberships, debt, convertible debentures, convertible debt, debt with warrants, or any other securities convertible into common stock, any form of debt instrument involving any form of equity participation, and including the conversion or exercise of any securities sold in any transaction, upon each investment transaction closing, a success fee, payable in (i) cash, equal to 7% of the gross amount to be disbursed to the Company from each such investment transaction closing, plus (ii) a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross amount to be disbursed to the Company from each such investment transaction closing, plus (iii) warrants equal to 7% of the gross amount to be disbursed to the Company from each such investment transaction closing, including shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of the securities sold in any transaction, and in the event that warrants or other rights were issued in the investment transaction, 7% of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants or other rights, and in the event of a debt or convertible debt financing, warrants to purchase an amount of Company stock equal to 7% of the gross amount or facility received by the Company in a debt financing divided by the warrant exercise share. The warrant exercise price would have been the lower of: (i) the price per share paid by investors in each respective financing; (ii) in the event that convertible securities were sold in the financing, the conversion price of such securities; or (iii) in the event that warrants or other rights were issued in the financing, the exercise price of such warrants or other rights;

 

42

 

 

any warrants required to be issued to Boustead as compensation as described above were required to be transferable in accordance with the rules of FINRA and SEC regulations, exercisable from the date of issuance and for a term of five years, contain cashless exercise provisions, be non-callable and non-cancelable with immediate piggyback registration rights, have customary anti-dilution provisions, have exercise price adjustment provisions in the event that other Company outstanding warrants are re-priced below their exercise price or issues securities at a price below the exercise price per share, have terms no less favorable than the terms of any warrants issued to participants in the related transaction, and provide for automatic exercise immediately prior to expiration; and

 

reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the performance of its services, regardless of whether a transaction occurs.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of November 13, 2023, we are subject to a lock-up agreement that provides that we may not, for 12 months, subject to certain exceptions, (i) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant or modify the terms of any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company; (ii) file or cause to be filed any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company (other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8 for employee benefit plans); or (iii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of capital stock of the Company, whether any such transaction described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of capital stock of the Company or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. These restrictions do not apply to certain transactions including issuances of common stock under the Company’s existing and disclosed stock option or bonus plans, shares of common stock, options or convertible securities issued to banks, equipment lessors, other financial institutions, real property lessors pursuant to an equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, or shares of common stock, options or convertible securities issued in connection with sponsored research, collaboration, technology license, development, marketing, investor relations or other similar agreements or strategic partnerships approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company.

The Company also entered into a Security Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2024, between the Company and FirstFire (the “May 2024 FF Security Agreement”), under which the Company agreed to grant FirstFire a security interest to secure the Company’s obligations under the May 2024 FF Note in all assets of the Company except for a certificate of deposit account with Commerce Bank of Arizona (“CBAZ”) with an approximate balance of $2,100,000 together with (i) all interest, whether now accrued or hereafter accruing; (ii) all additional deposits made to such account; (iii) any and all proceeds from such account; and (iv) all renewals, replacements and substitutions for any of the foregoing (the “CBAZ Collateral”), which is subject to that certain Assignment of Deposit Account, dated as of December 11, 2023, between the Company and CBAZ (the “CBAZ Assignment of Deposit”), until the full repayment of that certain promissory note in the original principal amount of $2,000,000 issued by the Company to CBAZ, dated as of December 11, 2023 and maturing on December 11, 2024 (the “Second CBAZ Promissory Note”), pursuant to that certain Business Loan Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2023, between the Company and CBAZ (the “Second CBAZ Loan Agreement”).

 

The closing of the initial transaction contemplated by the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, including FirstFire’s payment of the purchase price of $375,000, was subject to certain conditions. On May 20, 2024, such conditions were met. As a result, the May 2024 FF Commitment Shares, the May 2024 FF Note and the May 2024 FF Warrants were released from escrow and issued as of May 16, 2024, and FirstFire paid $375,000, of which the Company received $336,500 in net proceeds after deductions of the placement agent’s fee of $26,250 and non-accountable expense allowance of $3,750, and FirstFire counsel’s fees of $8,500.

 

May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement

 

Under the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, until the May 2024 FF Note was fully converted or repaid, the May 2024 FF Note holder had participation rights and rights of first refusal on any offers of the Company’s securities other than offerings previously disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC or any Excluded Issuance (as defined in the May 2024 FF Note and the June 2024 FF Note (as defined in “—June 2024 Private Placement of Convertible Senior Secured Promissory Note and Warrants”)), and most favored nation rights on any offers of the Company’s securities other than for an Excluded Issuance. The Company was also prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement (as defined in “—June 2024 Private Placement of Convertible Senior Secured Promissory Note and Warrants”) and the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement) other than pursuant to an “at-the-market” agreement with a registered broker-dealer, whereby such registered broker-dealer would be acting as principal in the purchase of common stock from the Company or an Equity Line of Credit (as defined in the May 2024 FF Note and the June 2024 FF Note), without the consent of FirstFire, not to be unreasonably withheld. In addition, the Company was required not to issue or agree, propose, or offer to issue any shares of common stock or securities with underlying common stock prior to the 30th calendar day after the date of the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement.

 

The May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement (as well as the May 2024 FF Note and the May 2024 FF Warrants) provided that the maximum amount of shares of common stock issuable under the May 2024 FF Note and the May 2024 FF Warrants was limited to the FF Exchange Limitation (as defined below) until we had obtained stockholder approval (the “FF Stockholder Approval”) to issue shares in excess of 19.99% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company as of the date of the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, or 3,074,792 shares of common stock, which number of shares shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number of shares of common stock issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement under applicable rules of the NYSE American (“FF Exchange Limitation”). The Company was required to hold a meeting of stockholders on or before the date that was six months after the date of the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, for the purpose of obtaining the FF Stockholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors that such proposal be approved; the Company was required to solicit proxies from the Company’s stockholders in connection with the proposal in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement; and all management-appointed proxyholders must vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. In addition, all members of the Company’s board of directors and all of the Company’s executive officers were required to vote in favor of such proposal, for purposes of obtaining the FF Stockholder Approval, with respect to all of the Company’s securities then held by such persons, and the Company was generally required to use the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the FF Stockholder Approval. If the Company had not obtained the FF Stockholder Approval at the first meeting at which the proposal was voted upon, the Company was required to call a stockholder meeting as often as possible thereafter to seek the FF Stockholder Approval until the FF Stockholder Approval was obtained.

 

48

 

 

On September 18, 2024, the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “2024 Annual Meeting”) was held. At the 2024 Annual Meeting, the stockholders approved a proposal to approve the issuance of all of the shares of common stock, issued or issuable pursuant to the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, and the Boustead Engagement Letter, in connection with the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, in accordance with Section 713(a) of the NYSE American LLC Company Guide (the “NYSE American Company Guide”). As a result, the FF Stockholder Approval was obtained.

 

May 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement

 

As required by the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2024, between the Company and FirstFire (the “May 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the resale of the May 2024 FF Commitment Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the May 2024 FF Note and the May 2024 FF Warrants under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement. The Company agreed to file the registration statement with the SEC within 90 calendar days from the date of the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 120 days from the date of the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement. The Company also granted FirstFire certain piggyback registration rights pursuant to the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement. A registration statement was filed with the SEC on July 5, 2024 in order to comply with these requirements. Pursuant to the May 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement, if the total number of shares issuable upon conversion of the May 2024 FF Notes or upon exercise of the May 2024 FF Warrants becomes greater than the number that may be offered for resale by means of the prospectus that forms a part of such registration statement, then the Company will be required to register the additional shares of common stock for resale by means of one or more separate prospectuses.

 

May 2024 FF Note

 

The principal amount of the May 2024 FF Note was based on an original issue discount of 10% and interest at the rate of 10% per annum on a 365-day basis. The interest was guaranteed, which required that the first 12 months of interest (equal to $41,250) be paid. The May 2024 FF Note was to mature on the earlier of the 12-month anniversary date of the issuance date, or May 16, 2025, and the date of the consummation of a sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Company with or into any other entity when the Company is not the survivor.

 

Under the May 2024 FF Note, the Company was required to make eight monthly amortization payments of $56,715 each, commencing September 16, 2024, and pay the entire remaining outstanding balance on May 16, 2025. The Company was permitted to prepay the May 2024 FF Note any time prior to an FF Notes Event of Default on 15 trading days’ prior written notice for an amount equal to 110% of the principal amount then outstanding and 110% of the accrued and unpaid interest outstanding.

 

Under the May 2024 FF Note, the holder of the May 2024 FF Note was permitted, at any time and from time to time, subject to a limitation on beneficial ownership to 4.99% of the common stock that would be outstanding immediately after conversion or exercise (the “FF Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) and the FF Exchange Limitation (before the FF Stockholder Approval was obtained), to convert the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest under the May 2024 FF Note into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment, including adjustments under full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions for any issuances of securities at a lower price per share or per underlying share of common stock to match the price of such lower-priced securities, other than for an Excluded Issuance (the “FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price”). If the Company failed to make an amortization payment when due under the May 2024 FF Note, the balance remaining under the May 2024 FF Note would have become convertible, and the conversion price would have become the lower of the then-applicable FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price and 80% of the lowest closing price of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the date of a conversion of the May 2024 FF Note. If an FF Notes Event of Default had occurred, then the balance remaining under the May 2024 FF Note would have become convertible at the lower of the FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price, the closing price of the common stock on the date of the FF Notes Event of Default (or the next trading day if such date is not on a trading day), and $0.195 per share.

 

49

 

 

An FF Notes Event of Default would have occurred upon the occurrence of any of the following: The failure to pay obligations when due; failure to issue shares upon conversions as required; a material breach of representations and warranties or covenants; the entry of material judgments against certain of the Company’s subsidiaries; the initiation of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of certain of our subsidiaries; defaults on other indebtedness; failure to remain subject to and compliant with the Exchange Act; failure to maintain intellectual property and other necessary assets; the restatement of any financial statements; disclosure or attempted disclosure of material non-public information to the May 2024 FF Note holder; unavailability of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) for resales of the Company’s securities on or after six months from the issuance date of the May 2024 FF Note; and the delisting or suspension of listing of the Company’s common stock by the NYSE American. The occurrence of an FF Notes Event of Default would have resulted in a number of additional obligations to the May 2024 FF Note holder, including acceleration and multiplication by 125% of the May 2024 FF Note balance; default interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) 15% per annum and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law from the due date thereof until the same is paid; and the increase of the principal balance of the May 2024 FF Note by $3,000 each calendar month until the May 2024 FF Note is repaid in its entirety.

 

If, at any time prior to the full repayment or full conversion of all amounts owed under the May 2024 FF Note, the Company had received cash proceeds from any source or series of related or unrelated sources on or after the date of the May 2024 FF Note, including but not limited to, payments from customers, the issuance of equity or debt, the incurrence of Indebtedness (as defined in the May 2024 FF Note and the June 2024 FF Note), a merchant cash advance, sale of receivables or similar transaction, the exercise of outstanding warrants of the Company, the issuance of securities pursuant to an Equity Line of Credit or the Company’s offering of securities under Regulation A under the Securities Act, or the Company’s sale of assets (including but not limited to real property), the Company was required, within one business day of the Company’s receipt of such proceeds, to inform the holder of the May 2024 FF Note of or publicly disclose such receipt, following which the holder of the May 2024 FF Note had the right in its sole discretion to require the Company to immediately apply up to 100% of such proceeds to repay all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and interest (including any default interest) then due under the May 2024 FF Note. The 110% prepayment premium would have applied to any repayment of the May 2024 FF Note pursuant to this requirement prior to the occurrence of an FF Notes Event of Default.

 

The May 2024 FF Note was a senior secured obligation of the Company, with priority over all existing and future indebtedness of the Company, except that the May 2024 FF Note was junior in priority to the Second CBAZ Promissory Note and, in accordance with the Amendment to May 2024 FF Transaction Documents, pari passu in priority to the June 2024 FF Note. The May 2024 FF Note prohibited the Company from incurring any Indebtedness that was senior to or pari passu with the obligations under the May 2024 FF Note. During the period that any obligation under the May 2024 FF Note remained outstanding, the Company was prohibited, without the May 2024 FF Note holder’s prior written consent, from declaring or paying any dividends or other distributions on shares of capital stock except in the form of shares of common stock or distributions pursuant to a stockholders’ rights plan approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested directors. The Company also was prohibited from repurchasing any capital stock or repaying any indebtedness other than the May 2024 FF Note and the Second CBAZ Promissory Note while the Company had any obligation under the May 2024 FF Note without FirstFire’s written consent. The Company was also prohibited from (a) changing the nature of its business; (b) selling, divesting, changing the structure of any material assets other than in the ordinary course of business; (c) entering into a Variable Rate Transaction; or (d) entering into any merchant cash advance transaction, sale of receivables transaction, or any other similar transaction, without the consent of FirstFire, which could not be unreasonably withheld. The May 2024 FF Note also contained a most favored nations provision with respect to the issuance of any debt securities of the Company. 

 

On August 23, 2024, FirstFire converted $41,250 of the outstanding balance under the May 2024 FF Note into 137,500 shares of common stock at the FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price ($0.30 per share). On September 16, 2024, the Company made the first amortization payment required under the May 2024 FF Note of $56,715. On September 19, 2024, FirstFire effected two conversions of the May 2024 FF Note, which in aggregate converted the remaining balance of $355,785 under the May 2024 FF Note into 1,185,950 shares of common stock at the FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price.

May 2024 FF Warrants

 

First May 2024 FF Warrant

 

The First May 2024 FF Warrant will be exercisable for up to 1,375,000 shares of common stock from the date of issuance until the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The holder may exercise the First May 2024 FF Warrant by a “cashless” exercise if the Market Price (as defined below) is less than the exercise price then in effect and there is no effective registration statement for the resale of the shares. The “Market Price” is defined as the highest traded price of the common stock during the 30 trading days before the date of the cashless exercise. The number of shares issuable upon cashless exercise will equal (i) the product of (a) the number of shares of common stock that the holder elects to purchase under the First May 2024 FF Warrant, times (b) the Market Price less the exercise price, divided by (ii) the Market Price.

 

Under the First May 2024 FF Warrant, the holder of the First May 2024 FF Warrant may at any time and from time to time, subject to the FF Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the FF Exchange Limitation (before the FF Stockholder Approval was obtained), exercise the First May 2024 FF Warrant to purchase shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment, including adjustments under full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions for any issuances of securities at a lower price per share or per underlying share of common stock other than for an Excluded Issuance, or for any issuances of securities at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of the common stock, to match the price of such lower-priced or variable-priced securities, or for other dilution events. Simultaneous with any adjustment to the exercise price as a result of an anti-dilution adjustment, the number of shares underlying the First May 2024 FF Warrant will be adjusted proportionately so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable under the First May 2024 FF Warrant for the adjusted number of shares underlying the First May 2024 FF Warrant will be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise). The First May 2024 FF Warrant also contains rights to any rights to purchase securities of the Company distributed pro rata to the stockholders of the Company.

 

Second May 2024 FF Warrant

 

The Second May 2024 FF Warrant was exercisable for up to 250,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share from the date (the “Second FF Warrants Trigger Date”) of an FF Notes Event of Default until the fifth anniversary of the Second FF Warrants Trigger Date, subject to the FF Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the FF Exchange Limitation. The Second May 2024 FF Warrant would have been automatically canceled if the May 2024 FF Note had been fully repaid in cash prior to any FF Notes Event of Default. The Second May 2024 FF Warrant otherwise had the same terms and conditions as the First May 2024 FF Warrant.

 

On September 19, 2024, the remaining balance of the May 2024 FF Note was converted into shares of common stock. The Second May 2024 FF Warrant is therefore no longer exercisable.

 

The May 2024 FF Note, the First May 2024 FF Warrant, the Second May 2024 FF Warrant, the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, the May 2024 FF Security Agreement, the May 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement, and the Amendment to May 2024 FF Note and May 2024 FF Warrants were filed as Exhibit 4.4, Exhibit 4.5, Exhibit 4.6, Exhibit 10.16, Exhibit 10.17, Exhibit 10.18, and Exhibit 10.19 to the 2024 Second Quarter Report, respectively. The description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such exhibits.

 

June 2024 Amendment to May 2024 Transaction Documents with FirstFire

 

On June 18, 2024, the Company entered into the Amendment to May 2024 FF Transaction Documents. The Amendment to May 2024 FF Transaction Documents contained agreements relating to the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and the May 2024 FF Note and an amendment to the original May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement.

 

The Amendment to May 2024 FF Transaction Documents provided that neither the Company’s execution of the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and the related transaction documents, nor the Company’s issuance of securities to FirstFire pursuant to the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and the related transaction documents, will cause a breach of any provision of the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement or an FF Notes Event of Default. The Amendment to May 2024 FF Transaction Documents further provided that the issuance of the June 2024 FF Note was permitted, and that the June 2024 FF Note will be pari passu in priority to the May 2024 FF Note, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement or the May 2024 FF Note. In addition, the original May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement was amended to delete a provision that, upon meeting certain terms and conditions, at the Company’s option, FirstFire would be required to fund the purchase price of at least an additional $175,000 under the same terms and conditions as the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and related transaction documents.

Placement Agent Compensation Relating to May 2024 Private Placement

 

Under the Boustead Engagement Letter and the Underwriting Agreement, under which Boustead acted as the placement agent in connection with the initial transaction contemplated by the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, the Company paid to Boustead a cash fee of $26,250, equal to 7% of the purchase price of the May 2024 FF Note, and a non-accountable expense allowance of $3,750, equal to 1% of the purchase price of the May 2024 FF Note. The Company also issued Boustead 13,125 shares of common stock, equal to 7% of the May 2024 FF Commitment Shares. In addition, the Company issued a placement agent warrant to purchase up to 7% of the shares issuable upon exercise of the First May 2024 FF Warrant, or 96,250 shares, with an exercise price of $0.30 per share (the “FF Placement Agent Warrant”). The number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of the FF Placement Agent Warrant was limited by the FF Exchange Limitation until the Company obtained the FF Stockholder Approval. The FF Placement Agent Warrant will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance, contains cashless exercise provisions, and may have certain registration rights.

 

Under the Boustead Engagement Letter, the Company also issued to Boustead a placement agent warrant to purchase up to a number of shares equal to 7% of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Second May 2024 FF Warrant, or 17,500 shares, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Second May 2024 Placement Agent Warrant”), exercisable for five years from the Second FF Warrants Trigger Date.

 

On June 18, 2024, the Company entered into a Warrant Cancellation Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2024, between the Company and Boustead (the “Warrant Cancellation Agreement”), which provided that the Second May 2024 Placement Agent Warrant was cancelled and of no further effect, and that no other compensation will be issued to Boustead by the Company in lieu of the Second May 2024 Placement Agent Warrant. No portion of the Second May 2024 Placement Agent Warrant had been exercised prior to its cancellation.

On June 18, 2024, the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2024 (the “June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and FirstFire, pursuant to which, as a private placement transaction, the Company issued FirstFire a senior secured promissory note in the principal amount of $198,611 (the “June 2024 FF Note” and together with the May 2024 FF Note, the “FF Notes”); 90,277 shares of common stock (the “June 2024 FF Commitment Shares”), as partial consideration for the purchase of the June 2024 FF Note; a warrant at an initial exercise price of $0.30 per share (the “First June 2024 FF Warrant”) for the purchase of up to 662,036 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.30 per share, as partial consideration for the purchase of the June 2024 FF Note; and a warrant (the “Second June 2024 FF Warrant” and together with the First June 2024 FF Warrant, the “June 2024 FF Warrants”) for the purchase of up to 120,370 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share exercisable from the Second FF Warrants Trigger Date, that we issued to FirstFire as partial consideration for the purchase of the June 2024 FF Note.

 

The Company also entered into a Security Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2024, between the Company and FirstFire (the “June 2024 FF Security Agreement”), under which the Company agreed to grant FirstFire a security interest to secure the Company’s obligations under the June 2024 FF Note in all assets of the Company except for the CBAZ Collateral, until the full repayment of the Second CBAZ Promissory Note, pursuant to the Second CBAZ Loan Agreement.

 

The closing of the transaction contemplated by the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, including FirstFire’s payment of the purchase price of $175,000, was subject to certain conditions. On June 18, 2024, such conditions were met. As a result, the June 2024 FF Commitment Shares, the June 2024 FF Note and the June 2024 FF Warrants were issued as of June 18, 2024, and FirstFire paid $175,000, of which the Company received $154,500 in net proceeds after deductions of the placement agent’s fee of $12,250 and non-accountable expense allowance of $1,750, and FirstFire counsel’s fees of $6,500.

June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement

 

Under the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, until the June 2024 FF Note was fully converted or repaid, the June 2024 FF Note holder had participation rights and rights of first refusal on any offers of the Company’s securities other than offerings previously disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC or any Excluded Issuance, and most favored nation rights on any offers of the Company’s securities other than for an Excluded Issuance. The Company was also prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement involving a Variable Rate Transaction other than pursuant to an “at-the-market” agreement with a registered broker-dealer, whereby such registered broker-dealer would be acting as principal in the purchase of common stock from the Company or an Equity Line of Credit, without the consent of FirstFire, not to be unreasonably withheld. In addition, the Company was required not to issue or agree, propose, or offer to issue any shares of common stock or securities with underlying common stock prior to the 30th calendar day after the date of the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement other than an Excluded Issuance.

 

The June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement (as well as the June 2024 FF Note and the June 2024 FF Warrants) provided that the maximum amount of shares of common stock issuable under the June 2024 FF Note and the June 2024 FF Warrants was limited to the FF Exchange Limitation until the we had obtained the FF Stockholder Approval. The Company was required to hold a meeting of stockholders on or before the date that was six months after the date of the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, for the purpose of obtaining the FF Stockholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors that such proposal be approved; the Company was required to solicit proxies from the Company’s stockholders in connection with the proposal in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement; and all management-appointed proxyholders must vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. In addition, all members of the Company’s board of directors and all of the Company’s executive officers were required to vote in favor of such proposal, for purposes of obtaining the FF Stockholder Approval, with respect to all of the Company’s securities then held by such persons, and the Company was generally required to use the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the FF Stockholder Approval. If the Company had not obtained the FF Stockholder Approval at the first meeting at which the proposal was voted upon, the Company was required to call a stockholder meeting as often as possible thereafter to seek the FF Stockholder Approval until the FF Stockholder Approval was obtained.

 

On September 18, 2024, 2024 Annual Meeting was held. At the 2024 Annual Meeting, the stockholders approved a proposal to approve the issuance of all of the shares of common stock, issued or issuable pursuant to the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, and the Boustead Engagement Letter, in connection with the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, in accordance with Section 713(a) of the NYSE American Company Guide. As a result, the FF Stockholder Approval was obtained.

 

June 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement

 

As required by the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2024, between the Company and FirstFire (the “June 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the resale of the June 2024 FF Commitment Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the June 2024 FF Note and the June 2024 FF Warrants under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement. The Company agreed to file the registration statement with the SEC within 90 calendar days from the date of the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 120 days from the date of the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement. The Company also granted FirstFire certain piggyback registration rights pursuant to the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement. A registration statement was filed with the SEC on July 5, 2024 in order to comply with these requirements. Pursuant to the June 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement, if the total number of shares issuable upon conversion of the June 2024 FF Note or upon exercise of the June 2024 FF Warrants becomes greater than the number that may be offered for resale by means of the prospectus that forms a part of such registration statement, then the Company will be required to register the additional shares of common stock for resale by means of one or more separate prospectuses.

 

June 2024 FF Note

 

The principal amount of the June 2024 FF Note was based on an original issue discount of 10% and interest at the rate of 10% per annum on a 365-day basis. The interest was guaranteed, which required that the first 12 months of interest (equal to approximately $19,861) be paid. The June 2024 FF Note was to mature on the earlier of the 12-month anniversary date of the issuance date, or June 18, 2025, and the date of the consummation of a sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Company with or into any other entity when the Company is not the survivor.

Under the June 2024 FF Note, the Company was required to make eight monthly amortization payments of approximately $27,309 each, commencing October 18, 2024, and pay the entire remaining outstanding balance on June 18, 2025. The Company was permitted to prepay the June 2024 FF Note any time prior to an FF Notes Event of Default on 15 trading days’ prior written notice for an amount equal to 110% of the principal amount then outstanding and 110% of the accrued and unpaid interest outstanding.

 

Under the June 2024 FF Note, the holder of the June 2024 FF Note was permitted, at any time and from time to time, subject to the FF Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the FF Exchange Limitation (before the FF Stockholder Approval was obtained), to convert the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest under the June 2024 FF Note into shares of common stock at the initial FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price. If the Company failed to make an amortization payment when due under the June 2024 FF Note, the balance remaining under the June 2024 FF Note would have become convertible, and the conversion price would have become the lower of the then-applicable FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price and 80% of the lowest closing price of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the date of a conversion of the June 2024 FF Note. If an FF Notes Event of Default had occurred, then the balance remaining under the June 2024 FF Note would have become convertible at the lower of the FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price, the closing price of the common stock on the date of the FF Notes Event of Default (or the next trading day if such date is not on a trading day), and $0.195 per share.

 

An FF Notes Event of Default would have occurred upon the occurrence of any of the following: The failure to pay obligations when due; failure to issue shares upon conversions as required; a material breach of representations and warranties or covenants; the entry of material judgments against certain of the Company’s subsidiaries; the initiation of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries; defaults on other indebtedness; failure to remain subject to and compliant with the Exchange Act; failure to maintain intellectual property and other necessary assets; the restatement of any financial statements; disclosure or attempted disclosure of material non-public information to the June 2024 FF Note holder; unavailability of Rule 144 for resales of the Company’s securities on or after six months from the issuance date of the June 2024 FF Note; and the delisting or suspension of listing of the Company’s common stock by the NYSE American. The occurrence of an FF Notes Event of Default would have resulted in a number of additional obligations to the June 2024 FF Note holder, including acceleration and multiplication by 125% of the June 2024 FF Note balance; default interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) 15% per annum and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law from the due date thereof until the same is paid; and the increase of the principal balance of the June 2024 FF Note by $3,000 each calendar month until the June 2024 FF Note is repaid in its entirety.

 

If at any time prior to the full repayment or full conversion of all amounts owed under the June 2024 FF Note the Company had received cash proceeds from any source or series of related or unrelated sources on or after the date of the June 2024 FF Note, including but not limited to, payments from customers, the issuance of equity or debt, the incurrence of Indebtedness, a merchant cash advance, sale of receivables or similar transaction, the exercise of outstanding warrants of the Company, the issuance of securities pursuant to an Equity Line of Credit of the Company or the Company’s offering of securities under Regulation A under the Securities Act, or the Company’s sale of assets (including but not limited to real property), the Company was required, within one business day of the Company’s receipt of such proceeds, to inform the holder of the June 2024 FF Note of or publicly disclose such receipt, following which the holder of the June 2024 FF Note had the right in its sole discretion to require the Company to immediately apply up to 100% of such proceeds to repay all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and interest (including any default interest) then due under the June 2024 FF Note, not including any such proceeds used to repay the May 2024 FF Note. The 110% prepayment premium would have applied to any repayment of the June 2024 FF Note pursuant to this requirement prior to the occurrence of an FF Notes Event of Default.

 

The June 2024 FF Note was a senior secured obligation of the Company, with priority over all existing and future indebtedness of the Company, except that the June 2024 FF Note provided that it was pari passu in priority to the May 2024 FF Note, and junior in priority to the Second CBAZ Promissory Note. The June 2024 FF Note prohibited the Company from incurring any Indebtedness that is senior to or pari passu with the obligations under the June 2024 FF Note. During the period that any obligation under the June 2024 FF Note remained outstanding, the Company was prohibited, without the June 2024 FF Note holder’s prior written consent, from declaring or paying any dividends or other distributions on shares of capital stock except in the form of shares of common stock or distributions pursuant to a stockholders’ rights plan approved by a majority of the Company’s disinterested directors. The Company also was prohibited from repurchasing any capital stock or repaying any indebtedness other than the May 2024 FF Note and the Second CBAZ Promissory Note while the Company had any obligation under the June 2024 FF Note and the Second CBAZ Promissory Note while the Company had any obligation under the June 2024 FF Note without FirstFire’s written consent. The Company was also prohibited from (a) changing the nature of its business; (b) selling, divesting, changing the structure of any material assets other than in the ordinary course of business; (c) entering into a Variable Rate Transaction; or (d) entering into any merchant cash advance transaction, sale of receivables transaction, or any other similar transaction, without the consent of FirstFire, which could not be unreasonably withheld. The June 2024 FF Note also contained a most favored nations provision with respect to the issuance of any debt securities of the Company.

On September 19, 2024, FirstFire converted the entire balance under the May 2024 FF Note of $218,472 into 728,240 shares of common stock at the FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price ($0.30 per share).

 

June 2024 FF Warrants

 

First June 2024 FF Warrant

 

The First June 2024 FF Warrant will be exercisable for up to 662,036 shares of common stock from the date of issuance until the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The holder may exercise the First June 2024 FF Warrant by a “cashless” exercise if the Market Price is less than the exercise price then in effect and there is no effective registration statement for the resale of the shares. The number of shares issuable upon cashless exercise will equal (i) the product of (a) the number of shares of common stock that the holder elects to purchase under the First June 2024 FF Warrant, times (b) the Market Price less the exercise price, divided by (ii) the Market Price.

 

Under the First June 2024 FF Warrant, the holder of the First June 2024 FF Warrant may at any time and from time to time, subject to the FF Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the FF Exchange Limitation (before the FF Stockholder Approval was obtained), exercise the First June 2024 FF Warrant to purchase shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment, including adjustments under full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions for any issuances of securities at a lower price per share or per underlying share of common stock other than for an Excluded Issuance, or for any issuances of securities at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of the common stock, to match the price of such lower-priced or variable-priced securities, or for other dilution events. Simultaneous with any adjustment to the exercise price as a result of an anti-dilution adjustment, the number of shares underlying the First June 2024 FF Warrant will be adjusted proportionately so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable under the First June 2024 FF Warrant for the adjusted number of shares underlying the First June 2024 FF Warrant will be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise). The First June 2024 FF Warrant also contains rights to any rights to purchase securities of the Company distributed pro rata to the stockholders of the Company.

 

See “—Recent Developments – Exercise of First June 2024 FF Warrant” for related recent developments.

 

Second June 2024 FF Warrant

 

The Second June 2024 FF Warrant was be exercisable for up to 120,370 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share from the Second FF Warrants Trigger Date until the fifth anniversary of the Second FF Warrants Trigger Date, subject to the FF Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the FF Exchange Limitation. The Second June 2024 FF Warrant would have been automatically cancelled if the June 2024 FF Note had been fully repaid in cash prior to any FF Notes Event of Default. The Second June 2024 FF Warrant otherwise had the same terms and conditions as the First June 2024 FF Warrant.

 

On September 19, 2024, the entire balance of the June 2024 FF Note was converted into shares of common stock. The Second June 2024 FF Warrant is therefore no longer exercisable.

Revolving Lines of Credit with Commerce Bank of Arizona

 

Under a Business Loan Agreement, dated October 6, 2023, between the Company and Commerce Bank of Arizona (“CBAZ”) (the “First CBAZ Loan Agreement”), the Company and CBAZ entered into a $350,000 secured revolving line of credit (the “First CBAZ LOC”). In connection with the First CBAZ LOC, CBAZ issued a promissory note to the Company, dated October 6, 2023 (the “First CBAZ Promissory Note”), with an initial principal amount of $350,000.

Under a Business Loan Agreement, dated December 11, 2023, between the Company and CBAZ (the “Second CBAZ Loan Agreement”), the Company and CBAZ entered into a $2,000,000 secured revolving line of credit (the “Second CBAZ LOC”). In connection with the Second CBAZ LOC, CBAZ issued a promissory note to the Company, dated December 11, 2023 (the “Second CBAZ Promissory Note”), with principal of $2,000,000. The Company paid loan origination and other fees totaling $5,500 and CBAZ immediately disbursed $334,625 of the funds in connection with the Second CBAZ LOC for crediting the full prepayment of the balance in that amount outstanding in connection with the First CBAZ LOC. The principal balance under the Second CBAZ Promissory Note incurred interest at a fixed rate per annum of 7.21% per annum, and would have matured on December 11, 2024. There was no penalty for prepayment of the Second CBAZ Promissory Note. The Second CBAZ LOC was required to be secured by a 12-month certificate of deposit account held with CBAZ with a minimum balance of $2,100,000 (the “CD Collateral”) under the Assignment of Deposit Account, dated December 11, 2023, between the Company and CBAZ (the “Assignment of Deposit Account”).

 

In connection with the Second CBAZ LOC, the Company agreed to the following negative covenants: (i) incurring any other indebtedness; (ii) permitting other liens on its property; (iii) selling any of its accounts receivable with recourse to any third party; (iv) engaging in substantially different business activities; (v) ceasing operations, engaging in certain corporate transactions, or selling the CD Collateral; or (vi) paying cash dividends on its stock except to pay certain income taxes of stockholders or repurchasing or retiring any of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The following events would have constituted a default under the Second CBAZ LOC: (i) failing to comply with the negative covenants described above; (ii) any change in ownership of 25% or more of the common stock of the Company; (iii) a material adverse change in the Company’s financial condition or CBAZ believing the prospect of payment or performance under any loans under the Second CBAZ LOZ is impaired; and (iv) other customary events of default including insolvency, foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, and failure to make payment when due. Any late payments due would have been charged 5% of the regularly scheduled payments. Upon an event of default, the interest rate on the Second CBAZ Promissory Note would have increased to 13.21%; all indebtedness under the Second CBAZ Promissory Note would have become due at the option of CBAZ, except that if an event of default occurred due to an insolvency or certain similar events, the indebtedness would have become due immediately automatically; all of CBAZ’s obligations under the Second CBAZ Loan Agreement would have terminated; and CBAZ could have taken any actions permitted under the Assignment of Deposit Account, including application of account proceeds under the CD Collateral to outstanding indebtedness, and use of all rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Arizona Uniform Commercial Code. The Second CBAZ LOC was also subject to certain other terms and conditions.

 

On July 26, 2024, the Company fully repaid the Second CBAZ Promissory Note. The certificate of deposit account underlying the CBAZ Collateral was closed and redeemed, and the CBAZ Assignment of Deposit and the Second CBAZ Loan Agreement are no longer in effect.

 

The First CBAZ Loan Agreement, the First CBAZ Promissory Note, the Second CBAZ Loan Agreement, the Second CBAZ Promissory Note, and the Assignment of Deposit Account were filed as Exhibit 10.36, Exhibit 10.37, Exhibit 10.38, Exhibit 10.39, and Exhibit 10.40 to the 2023 Annual Report, respectively, and the description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such exhibits.

Leases

 

The Company leases its corporate offices consisting of approximately 3,154 square feet under a lease agreement dated November 1, 2022, as amended by an addendum dated November 2, 2022 (the “Amendment to Office Lease”), and as further amended under a first amendment to lease dated April 1, 2023 (as amended, the “Office Lease”). The Office Lease’s initial term from November 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023 was extended for a 39-month term beginning on May 4, 2023 and ending on August 3, 2026. Under the Office Lease, rent for the first month was $6,742 and was $7,491 for each subsequent month through April 2023, plus applicable rental taxes, sales taxes, and operating expenses. Monthly rent was $7,359 from May 4, 2023 to May 3, 2024, abated for the first three months of this period; and will be $7,580 from May 4, 2024 to May 3, 2025; $7,808 from May 4, 2025 to May 3, 2026; and $8,042 from May 4, 2026 to August 3, 2026, plus applicable rental taxes. Parking fees were $290.50 for the first month and will be $325.00 for each subsequent month. The Company also paid an initial security deposit of $8,000 in November 2022 and a second security deposit of $16,000 in May 2023. The initial security deposit will be refunded and credited toward monthly rent for the months beginning May 4, 2024 and May 4, 2025 if the Company has performed all obligations under the Office Lease, including making all rent payments when due. The Company may exercise a one-time option to extend the Office Lease for an additional three-year term upon 9-12 months’ notice for the fair market rent at the time of the extension, as determined in accordance with the Office Lease, and which will not be less than 103% of the final rent amount under the current term. Under the Office Lease, the Company must pay for any tenant improvements above the allowance provided for such improvements of $37,848 or that are not in compliance with the terms of the amended lease agreement.

 

The Office Lease and the Amendment to Office Lease were filed as Exhibit 10.12 and Exhibit 10.22 to the 2023 Annual Report, respectively, and the description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such exhibits.

In December 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sublease its office space. The sublease ended on May 31, 2023 and included fixed rent of $9,894 per month.

 

Common Stock Purchase Agreement

 

Under a Common Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2024 (the “Tumim Purchase Agreement”), and a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2024 (the “Tumim Registration Rights Agreement”), each between the Company and Tumim Stone Capital LLC (“Tumim”), Tumim had committed to purchase, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Tumim Purchase Agreement and the Tumim Registration Rights Agreement, up to $25 million of the Company’s common stock. Under the Tumim Purchase Agreement, we sold a total of 114,496 shares of common stock to Tumim at an average price per share of approximately $0.44 for aggregate gross proceeds of $50,627.

 

As consideration for Tumim’s commitment to purchase shares of common stock upon the terms of and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Tumim Purchase Agreement, on the date of the initial filing with the SEC of the registration statement to register under the Securities Act the offer and resale by Tumim of all of the shares of common stock that may be issued and sold by the Company to Tumim from time to time under the Tumim Purchase Agreement pursuant to the Tumim Registration Rights Agreement (the “Tumim Registration Statement”), the Company was required to pay $500,000 in cash or issue to Tumim shares of common stock as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of our common stock from time to time at our direction under the Tumim Purchase Agreement (the “Tumim Commitment Shares”) in an amount valued at $500,000 in the aggregate, subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by Tumim and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) (the “Tumim Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The per share value of the Tumim Commitment Shares was required to be calculated by dividing (i) a $500,000 commitment fee (the “Tumim Commitment Fee”), by (ii) the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices (“VWAPs”) during the five consecutive trading day period ending on (and including) the trading day immediately prior to the date of the initial filing of the Tumim Registration Statement. If any shares that were otherwise required to be issued as Tumim Commitment Shares were not permitted to be issued due to the Tumim Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Company was required to pay to Tumim in cash the amount equal to the product of (i) the number of shares that may not be issued as Tumim Commitment Shares due to the Tumim Beneficial Ownership Limitation and (ii) the average of the daily VWAPs during the five consecutive trading day period ending on (and including) the trading day immediately prior to the date of the initial filing of the Tumim Registration Statement. Accordingly, on the date of the initial filing with the SEC of the Tumim Registration Statement, the Company issued 661,102 shares of common stock as the Tumim Commitment Shares to Tumim, which were valued at $470,360.45 in the aggregate, based on the average of the daily VWAPs during the five consecutive trading day period ending on (and including) the trading day immediately prior to the date of the initial filing of the Tumim Registration Statement, which constituted approximately 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock, and, due to the Tumim Beneficial Ownership Limitation and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Tumim Purchase Agreement summarized above, we paid Tumim $29,639.55 in cash, which equaled the value of the Tumim Commitment Shares that would have been issued but for the application of the Tumim Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In addition, as required under the Tumim Purchase Agreement, the Company reimbursed Tumim for the reasonable legal fees and disbursements of Tumim’s legal counsel in the amount of $75,000.

On May 16, 2024, the Company and Tumim agreed by mutual written consent and pursuant to its terms to terminate the Tumim Purchase Agreement, effective immediately.

 

In connection with this termination, Tumim also waived the prohibition under the Tumim Purchase Agreement on the Company entering into a transaction defined as a “Variable Rate Transaction” under the Tumim Purchase Agreement, which otherwise would have survived termination of the Tumim Purchase Agreement for a six-month period.

 

Under the Boustead Engagement Letter, Boustead acted as the placement agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Tumim Purchase Agreement. We agreed to issue Boustead 49,193 shares of common stock in connection with our issuance of the Tumim Commitment Shares to Tumim on January 26, 2024, equal to 7% of the number of Tumim Commitment Shares that would have been issued but for the application of the Tumim Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as a fee pursuant to the Boustead Engagement Letter. Under the Boustead Engagement Letter, the Company was also required to pay Boustead cash in the amount of 8% in aggregate of the amount actually paid by Tumim to the Company pursuant to the Tumim Purchase Agreement. The Company was also required to issue to Boustead warrants to purchase a number of shares equal to 7% of the shares of common stock issued to Tumim pursuant to purchases under the Tumim Purchase Agreement, with an exercise price equal to the applicable purchase price per share. In March 2024, we therefore issued Boustead warrants to purchase up to 8,014 shares of common stock in aggregate with a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $0.44 per share. The warrants that were required to be issued to Boustead will be exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance and contain cashless exercise provisions. Boustead also has certain registration rights with respect to these warrants. Boustead and its affiliates are not in any manner related to Tumim or any of Tumim’s affiliates. Boustead’s compensation under the Boustead Engagement Letter in connection with the Tumim Purchase Agreement is subject to reduction or adjustment to the extent that such compensation is determined to be in excess of or otherwise noncompliant with applicable rules of FINRA.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments.

 

See Note 1 – Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies in the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of our other significant accounting policies. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of internally developed software and net operating loss and research and development tax credit carry forwards for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

59

 

 

The Company converted to a C corporation in September 2021. As a limited liability company for the 2020 year and through the date of conversion in 2021, the Company’s taxable loss was allocated to members in accordance with their respective percentage of ownership. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the financial statements for the period prior to the Company’s conversion to a C corporation.

 

The Company evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unrecognized tax benefits accrual was zero. The Company will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if incurred. As of September 30, 2024, the 2020 through 2023 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal and state authorities.

 

Internally Developed Software

 

Software consists of an internally developed information system for use by the Company in matching student-athletes with qualified coaches. The Company has capitalized costs incurred with development and upgrades of the information systems in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Costs incurred up to and including the feasibility stage of development as well as maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company amortizes these capitalized costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset of five years.

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, “Internal-Use Software,” amortization of internal-use software should begin when the software is ready for its intended use. Software is ready for its intended use after all substantial testing is completed. On January 1, 2023, all substantial testing of the Company’s platform for purposes of football recruitment was completed. Amortization of the platform’s capitalized costs for purposes of football recruitment therefore started on January 1, 2023, due to its ready-for-use status. 

  

In accordance with ASC Subtopic 350-40-25, during the application development stage, some costs are capitalized while other costs are expensed as incurred. In general, costs that are directly attributable to the development of the software are capitalized.  The Company’s platform remained in the application development stage for soccer, baseball, and softball recruitment and additional feature development and enhancements for purposes of football recruitment during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Capitalized costs associated with the platform during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 consisted of fees paid to third parties for services provided to develop the software during the application development stage, costs incurred to obtain computer software from third parties, and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use computer software project, to the extent of the time spent directly on the project.  The following other costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were incurred as expenses and were not capitalized: Training costs, data conversion costs except for costs to develop or obtain software that allows for access or conversion of old data by new systems, and general and administrative costs and overhead costs.

 

The Company periodically performs reviews of the recoverability of such capitalized technology costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on estimated cash flows to be generated from technology; any remaining capitalized amounts are written off. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company wrote off net capitalized software development costs of $0.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for revenue under the guidance of ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts from Customers” (“ASC 606”).

 

60

 

 

ASC 606 prescribes a five-step model that focuses on transfer of control and entitlement to payment when determining the amount of revenue to be recognized. Under the ASC 606 guidance, an entity is required to perform the following five steps:

 

(1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Revenue from performance obligations satisfied at a point in time consist of sales to individuals representing a one-month subscription and are recognized at the end of the subscription.

 

Revenue from performance obligations satisfied over time consists of the sale of subscription agreements to individual organizations or customers that are more than one month in duration and are recognized on a monthly basis over the life of the subscription agreement. There were $23,668 of open receivables at September 30, 2024 and $58,775 at December 31, 2023.

 

In accordance with ASC 606, contracts may be amended to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Contract modifications exist when the amendment either creates new, or changes existing, enforceable rights and obligations. When contract modifications create new performance obligations and the increase in consideration approximates the standalone selling price for goods and services related to such new performance obligations as adjusted for specific facts and circumstances of the contract, the modification is considered to be a separate contract and revenue is recognized prospectively. If a contract modification is not accounted for as a separate contract, the Company accounts for the promised goods or services not yet transferred at the date of the contract modification (the remaining promised goods or services) prospectively, as if it were a termination of the existing contract and the creation of a new contract, if the remaining goods or services are distinct from the goods or services transferred on or before the date of the contract modification. The Company accounts for a contract modification as if it were a part of the existing contract if the remaining goods or services are not distinct and, therefore, form part of a single performance obligation that is partially satisfied at the date of the contract modification. In such case the effect that the contract modification has on the transaction price, and on the entity’s measure of progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) at the date of the contract modification (the adjustment to revenue is made on a cumulative catch-up basis).

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC Topic 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, consultants, officers, and directors based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported. Stock-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period and over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services. The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award.

 

The fair value of options on the grant date is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the use of certain subjective assumptions including expected term, volatility, risk-free interest rate and the fair value of our common stock. These assumptions generally require significant judgment. The resulting costs are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The Company amortizes the fair value of stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur as a reduction to stock-based compensation expense and to additional paid-in-capital.

 

Expected term. Using the simplified method, the expected term is estimated as the midpoint of the expected time to vest and the contractual term, as permitted by the SEC. For out-of-the-money option grants, we estimate the expected lives based on the midpoint of the expected time to a liquidity event and the contractual term.

 

Volatility. With respect to grants of equity awards made prior to the listing of our common stock on the NYSE American on November 14, 2023, given the absence of an active market for our common stock, the Company’s expected volatility was derived from the historical volatilities of several unrelated public companies in the digital media and social platform industries because we had little information on the volatility of the price of our common stock because we had no trading history. When making the selections of our industry peer companies to be used in the volatility calculation, we consider operational area, size, business model, industry and the business of potential comparable companies. These historical volatilities are weighted based on certain qualitative factors and combined to produce a single volatility factor. With respect to grants of equity awards made after the listing, the Company determines the expected volatility by weighing the historical average volatilities of publicly traded industry peers and its own trading history. The Company intends to continue to consistently apply this methodology using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of the Company’s own common stock price becomes available, unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to the Company, in which case more suitable companies whose stock prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation.

 

61

 

 

Risk free rate. The risk free interest rate is based on the yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities similar to the expected term of the options for each option group.

 

Dividend yield. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we use an expected dividend yield of zero.

 

Fair Value of Common Stock. With respect to equity grants made before the listing of our common stock on the NYSE American on November 14, 2023, given the absence of an active market for our common stock, the estimated fair value of restricted stock grants and common stock underlying grants of stock options was determined using a modified probability-weighted expected return methodology (“PWERM”). For valuations after our listing on November 14, 2023, the fair value of restricted stock grants and common stock underlying grants of stock options is calculated utilizing the daily closing price as reported by the NYSE American.

 

If in the future the Company determines that another method is more reasonable, or if another method for calculating these input assumptions is prescribed by authoritative guidance, and, therefore, should be used to estimate volatility or expected life, the fair value calculated for our stock options could change significantly. Higher volatility and longer expected lives result in an increase to stock-based compensation expense determined at the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expenses affect our general and administrative expenses.

 

The following table presents, on a weighted average basis, the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant-date fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:

 

   Nine Months Ended

Independent Third-Party Valuation

 

A third-party independent valuation firm’s valuation report concluded that as of August 31, 2022, which the Company considered representative of the fair value of the underlying common stock of the options granted on September 9, 2022 and September 28, 2022 and modified on October 18, 2022 as described above, the fair value of the Company’s common stock was $1.74 per share. The valuation report as of August 31, 2022 applied a PWERM analysis that reflected a 45% probability that the Company would complete an initial public offering, and a 55% probability that the Company would continue to operate privately. The Company performed a retrospective analysis based on the valuation on the financial statements previously issued and determined that any difference to stock compensation expense previously booked is not material to the financial statements as a whole for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. A valuation analysis as of March 31, 2023, which the Company considered representative of the fair value of the underlying common stock of the options granted on March 14, 2023, April 5, 2023, April 11, 2023, April 19, 2023, May 3, 2023 and May 9, 2023, concluded that the fair value of the Company’s common stock was $2.22 per share. The valuation report as of March 31, 2023 applied a PWERM analysis that reflected a 70% probability that the Company would complete an initial public offering and a 30% probability that the Company would continue to operate privately.

 

After taking into consideration each PWERM analysis, the Company calculated the grant date fair value for financial reporting purposes of grants of options and restricted stock prior to the date of the listing of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE American on November 14, 2023 based on additional factors not taken into account by the valuation reports.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

The information in Part I. Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations – Midwestern Settlement Agreement” is incorporated by reference herein. Other than as disclosed above, during the three months ended September 30, 2024, there were no material pending legal proceedings or material developments in pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which the Company is a party or of which any of their property is the subject.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 

Our current liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition or liquidity, and we could have difficulty fulfilling our financial obligations, which may have a material adverse effect on us.

 

As of September 30, 2024, we had outstanding indebtedness and other liabilities totaling approximately $2.682 million, compared to approximately $1,000 in cash and cash equivalents. Our current level of indebtedness and other financial obligations increases the risk that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay amounts due in respect of our indebtedness and other financial obligations. The level of our indebtedness and other financial obligations could have other important consequences on our business, including:

 

making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to indebtedness and other financial obligations;

 

increasing our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry, and competitive conditions;

 

requiring us to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flows from operations to make payments on our indebtedness and other financial obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital and other general corporate purposes;

 

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;

 

restricting us from capitalizing on business opportunities;

 

placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt and other financial obligations;

 

limiting our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy, or other general corporate purposes;

 

requiring us to provide additional credit support, such as letters of credit or other financial guarantees, to our customers or suppliers, thereby limiting our availability of funds;

 

limiting our ability to enter into certain commercial arrangements because of concerns of counterparty risks; and

 

limiting our ability to adjust to changing market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt.

 

The occurrence of any one or more of these circumstances could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Our ability to pay off our indebtedness and other financial obligations depends on and is subject to our financial and operating performance, which in turn is affected by general and regional economic, financial, competitive, business, and other factors (many of which are beyond our control), including the availability of financing in the international banking and capital markets. We cannot be certain that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that capital will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay off our indebtedness and other financial obligations, or to fund our other liquidity needs.

 

If we are unable to meet our debt and other financial obligations or to fund our other liquidity needs, we will need to restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt and other financial obligations. Failure to successfully restructure or refinance our debt and other financial obligations could cause us to default on our debt and other financial obligations and would impair our liquidity. Our ability to restructure or refinance our debt and other financial obligations will depend on the condition of the capital markets, which is outside of our control, and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt and other financial obligations could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants that could further restrict our business operations.

 

64

 

 

Moreover, in the event that we fail to make a required payment on our debt and other financial obligations when due, if not cured or waived, the affected creditor could elect to declare all the funds borrowed or owed to be immediately due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest. Our assets or cash flows may not be sufficient to fully pay off debt and other financial obligations upon such demand. Any failure to repay our indebtedness or other financial obligations when due, if not cured or waived, could force us into bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, or liquidation.

 

We will need to obtain additional funding to continue operations. If we fail to obtain the necessary financing or fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then we may be unable to continue our operations and be forced to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue our operations or explore other strategies.

 

Our current cash runway is insufficient for us to be able to achieve or maintain positive cash flow. We have incurred losses for each period from our inception and a significant accumulated deficit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our net loss was approximately $5.413 million and approximately $2.676 million, respectively, and our net cash used in operating activities was approximately $3.489 million and approximately $1.497 million, respectively. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our net loss was approximately $5.478 million and approximately $6.674 million, respectively, and our cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.848 million and approximately $4.928 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $22.372 million and approximately $16.959 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, we had total current liabilities of approximately $2.605 million, compared to approximately $1,000 in cash and cash equivalents.

 

As a result of our critical financial condition, we are actively seeking to raise funds, primarily to pay off existing indebtedness and accounts payable to avoid loan defaults, lawsuits, bankruptcy, and liquidation, rather than for growth or expansion. Even if we are successful in this regard, we will require substantial additional capital to fund our planned operations, and if we fail to obtain necessary financing, our business plans may not be successful.

 

Our ability to obtain the necessary financing to carry out our operating plans or remain in operation is subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions and investor acceptance of our business model. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of such financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds on acceptable terms, we will have to significantly reduce our spending, delay or cancel our planned activities, substantially change our corporate or capital structure, terminate major unprofitable business operations that have defined our company since inception, and sell the related assets. Any of these contingency plans may at minimum change our business focus to one with which you do not agree or that may not meet your investment objectives, and if they are not successful, we may be forced into bankruptcy or dissolution and your investment could lose all value.

Note 1 - Principal Business Activity and Significant Accounting Policies Principal Business Activity

 

Signing Day Sports, Inc. (formerly known as Signing Day Sports, LLC) (“Company”) was formed and began operations in January 2019 and provides a digital ecosystem to help high school athletes get discovered and recruited by college coaches across the United States of America.

 

The Company’s website and mobile phone application provides an opportunity for athletes to create a personal profile by uploading measurables, videos of key drills, testing stats, academics and demographic information. Coaches can evaluate a prospect’s video, watch two separate prospects side by side simultaneously, and perform other actions with the video to visually evaluate talent. Intangible assets consist of development software, customer lists, trademarks, software IP, and customer data in the form of verifiable video uploads, player statistics, and academic records.

 

Going Concern Considerations

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. We sustained significant losses and negative cash flows from operations and are dependent on debt and equity financing to fund operations. We incurred a net loss of approximately $1.602 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $0.920 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. We incurred a net loss of approximately $5.413 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $2.676 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We had cash used in operating activities of approximately $3.489 million and $1.497 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $22.372 million and $16.959 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company is continuing its path to profitability through increased business development, marketing and sales of the Company’s multiple lines of subscriptions.

 

Failure to successfully continue to grow operational revenues could harm our profitability and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We face all of the risks inherent in a new business, including the need for significant additional capital, management’s potential underestimation of initial and ongoing costs, and potential delays and other problems in connection with establishing sales channels.

 

We are continuing our plan to further grow and expand operations and seek sources of capital to pay our contractual obligations as they come due. Management believes that its current operating strategy will provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern as long as we are able to obtain additional financing; however, there is no assurance this will occur. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments, including certificates of deposit (“CDs”) purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash deposits are held with financial institutions with investment-grade ratings in the United States of America, or U.S. Cash deposits typically exceed federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash on deposit with banks denominated in U.S. dollars and investments in money market funds.

 

Short-term Investments

 

The Company classifies its certificates of deposit as short-term investments and reassesses the appropriateness of the classification of its investments at the end of each reporting period. Certificates of deposit held for investment with an original maturity greater than three months are carried at amortized cost and reported as short-term investments on the balance sheets. The type of certificates of deposit that the Company invests in are not considered debt securities under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, Investments - Debt Securities.

 

As of September 30, 2024 the Company had $0 in certificates of deposit and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $2.1 million in certificates of deposit. The Company classified $2.1 million of its certificates of deposits as short-term investments on its balance sheets as of December 31, 2023.

 

Receivables and Credit Policy

 

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. There were $23,668 of open receivables at September 30, 2024 and $58,775 at December 31, 2023. The Company reviews its receivables in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”), which currently has a minimal impact on the Company. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company believes the accounts receivable are fully collectable.

 

Payment Terms

 

Users may access the Company’s website and application on either a free-trial or paid basis. Users that are not eligible or no longer eligible for free-trial access are required to have subscriptions by making payment to the Company prior to access to the Company’s website and application, except that user organizations may have subscriptions by agreeing to make payment on a monthly installment basis.  If a required payment is not made, access to the Company’s website and application is suspended until the required payment is received.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income.

 

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets which range from three to five years.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Based on this assessment there was no impairment at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

Internally Developed Software

 

Software consists of an internally developed information system for use by the Company in matching athletes with qualified coaches. The Company has capitalized costs incurred with development and upgrades of the information systems in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Costs incurred up to and including the feasibility stage of development as well as maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company amortizes these capitalized costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset of five years.

 

The Company periodically performs reviews of the recoverability of such capitalized technology costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on estimated cash flows to be generated from technology; any remaining capitalized amounts are written off. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have an impairment charge.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of purchased development software, customer lists, trademarks, software IP, and customer data in the form of verifiable video uploads, player statistics, and academic records. Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the assets are tested periodically for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition.

 

Stock Subscription Revenue

 

The Company records stock issuances at the effective date. If the subscription is not funded upon issuance, the Company records a stock subscription receivable as an asset on the balance sheet. When stock subscription receivables are not received prior to the issuance of financial statements at a reporting date in satisfaction of the requirements under ASC 505-10-45-2, the stock subscription receivable is reclassified as a contra account to stockholder’s equity (deficit) on the balance sheet.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments consisting of CDs. Total cash balances exceeded insured balances by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as of December 31, 2023. The company has cash equivalents that are invested in highly rated money market funds invested only in obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company uses the fair value framework that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques for recognizing financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis and for non-financial assets and liabilities when these items are re-measured. Fair value is considered to be the exchange price in an orderly transaction between market participants, to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. The Company categorizes each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

These levels are:

 

Level 1 – This level consists of valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are identical to the assets or liabilities being measured.

 

Level 2 – This level consists of valuation techniques in which significant inputs include quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are similar to the assets or liabilities being measured and/or quoted prices for assets or liabilities that are identical or similar to the assets or liabilities being measured from markets that are not active. Also, model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets are Level 2 valuation techniques.

 

Level 3 – This level consists of valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are valuation technique inputs that reflect assumptions about inputs that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

The Company’s financial instruments also include accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, their fair values approximate their carrying values on the balance sheet.

 

ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.

 

The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.

 

Due to the short-term nature of all financial assets and liabilities, their carrying value approximates their fair value as of the balance sheet dates.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of internally developed software and net operating loss and research and development tax credit carry forwards for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company converted to a C corporation in August of 2021. As a limited liability company for the 2020 year and through the date of conversion in 2021, the Company’s taxable loss was allocated to members in accordance with their respective percentage of ownership. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the financial statements for the period prior to the Company’s conversion to a C corporation.

 

The Company evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unrecognized tax benefits accrual was zero. The Company will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if incurred. As of September 30, 2024, the 2020 through 2023 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal and state authorities.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenues are contract liabilities for collections on subscription agreements in excess of revenue recognized.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company accounts for revenue under the guidance of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers (“ASC 606”).

 

ASC 606 prescribes a five-step model that focuses on transfer of control and entitlement to payment when determining the amount of revenue to be recognized. Under the ASC 606 guidance, an entity is required to perform the following five steps:

 

(1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Revenue from performance obligations satisfied at a point in time consist of sales to individuals representing a one-month subscription and are recognized at the end of the subscription.

 

Revenue from performance obligations satisfied over time consists of the sale of subscription agreements to individual organizations or customers that are more than one month in duration and are recognized on a monthly basis over the life of the subscription agreement. There were $23,668 of open receivables at September 30, 2024 and $58,775 at December 31, 2023.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the period the related obligation is outstanding using the straight-line method. The straight-line method is a reasonable estimate of the effective interest method due to the relatively short maturities of the related debt. Debt issuance costs are included within long-term debt on the balance sheet. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense in the accompanying financial statements. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, unamortized debt issuance costs are $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs amounted to ($1,319) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to a refund received and $75,565 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Such costs amounted to $92,290 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $312,295 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Advertising costs are included in advertising and marketing expenses in the statements of operations.

 

Contract Costs

 

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed as incurred as the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is estimated to be one year or less.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, officers, and directors based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported. Stock-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period and over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the common stock equivalents. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, 296,000 and 488,800, respectively, stock options were excluded from dilutive loss per share as their effects were anti-dilutive.

Leases

 

At the inception or modification of a contract, the Company determines whether a lease exists and classifies its leases as an operating or finance lease at commencement. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent their obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

 

As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the lease liability is calculated at lease commencement as the present value of unpaid lease payments using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term and is determined using a portfolio approach based on information available at the commencement date of the lease.

 

The lease asset also reflects any prepaid rent, initial direct costs incurred and lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include optional extension periods when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised.

 

Leases with an initial expected term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Balance Sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For certain classes of underlying assets, the Company has elected to not separate fixed lease components from the fixed non-lease components.

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

The Company capitalizes certain legal, accounting, and other third-party fees that are directly related to the Company’s equity financings, including the Company’s initial public offering, until such financings are consummated. After consummation of an equity financing, these costs are then recorded as a reduction of the proceeds received as a result of the financing. Should a planned equity financing be abandoned, terminated, or significantly delayed, the deferred offering costs would be immediately written off to operating expenses. Upon the closing of the initial public offering in November 2023, all deferred offering costs in the accompanying balance sheets were reclassified from prepaid expenses and other current assets and recorded against the initial public offering proceeds as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, such as accounts receivable. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The amendments in the ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.

6% Convertible Unsecured Promissory Notes

 

On October 15, 2021, the Company entered into nine unsecured convertible notes payable, for $3,300,000, bearing interest of 6% with no monthly payments, and that automatically converted at 50% (as adjusted) of the IPO Conversion Price (as defined in such notes) upon an initial public offering (IPO). The Company had the option to prepay the notes prior to March 31, 2022.

 

On November 12, 2021, the Company entered into twelve unsecured convertible notes payable, for $1,205,000, bearing interest of 6%, with no monthly payments, and that automatically converted at 50% (as adjusted) of the IPO Conversion Price upon an IPO. The Company had the option to prepay the notes prior to March 31, 2022.

 

On December 23, 2021, the Company entered into six unsecured convertible notes payable, for $1,800,000, bearing interest of 6%, with no monthly payments, and that automatically converted at 50% (as adjusted) of the IPO Conversion Price upon an IPO. The Company had the option to prepay the notes prior to March 31, 2022.

 

In connection with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering on November 16, 2023, the Company’s 6% convertible unsecured promissory notes with aggregate outstanding principal of $6,305,000 automatically converted into an aggregate of 2,774,200 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.50 per share in accordance with the terms of these promissory notes and a settlement notice issued on November 13, 2023, undertaking to effect conversions of principal as if 110% of the principal being converted was being converted to address possible claims with respect to the increase of the outstanding principal under the convertible notes to 110% of the outstanding principal amount. All accrued interest on the principal under the notes was waived in accordance with the terms of the notes.

 

8% Convertible Unsecured Promissory Notes

 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into thirteen unsecured convertible notes payable, for $1,315,000 bearing interest of 8%, with no monthly payments, and that automatically converted at 50% of the IPO Conversion Price upon an IPO.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into two unsecured convertible notes payable, for $150,000 bearing interest of 8%, with no monthly payments, and that automatically converted at 50% of fair value (less any accrued interest) upon IPO or other “sale of control” as defined in the agreement.

On August 7, 2023, the fifteen 8% convertible notes payable with outstanding balances of $1,465,000 and maturity date of August 8, 2023, were amended by written agreement. The agreement amended the maturity date of all of these convertible notes to August 8, 2025. Pursuant to the agreement, a provision in the convertible notes providing for an increase of the outstanding balance under the convertible notes to 120% of the original principal amount upon non-repayment by the maturity date was accelerated, and the outstanding balance under the convertible notes was increased in aggregate to $1,758,000. The agreement also provided for the immediate conversion of the additional amount of the outstanding balance under the convertible notes into 146,500 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share instead of the applicable optional conversion price, approximately $3.29 per share at the time of the conversion, not including any accrued but unpaid interest, which was waived with respect to the converted outstanding balance.

Rent for the first month was $6,742 and was $7,491 plus rental tax for each subsequent month through April 2023. The Company amended and renewed this office space lease under a long-term operating lease which commenced on May 4, 2023. Monthly rent ranged from $7,359 to $8,042 per month plus tax.

Note 9 - Income Taxes

 

There was deferred tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 of $0 and no current tax expense or deferred tax income for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Deferred tax income was $65,000 as of December 31, 2023.

 

Deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

 

   September 30,
2024
   December 31,
2023

Net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance  $5,517,000   $4,383,000 
           
Less valuation allowance   (5,517,000)   (4,318,000)
           
Net deferred tax assets  $0   $65,000 

 

The Company has a valuation allowance against most of the amount of its net deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of realization of the deferred tax assets due to the operating loss history of the Company. The Company currently provides a valuation allowance against deferred taxes when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance could be reduced or eliminated based on future earnings and future estimates of taxable income.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate is lower than what would be expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to income from continuing operations primarily because of expenses deductible for financial reporting purposes that are not deductible for tax purposes and tax-exempt income.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $18,200,000 and $12,500,000, respectively, of federal net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. Under current tax law, the federal net operating losses generated do not expire and may be carried forward indefinitely. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has approximately $59,000 and $264,000, respectively, of federal and state research and development credits. The 2023 Arizona research and development credit of $65,000 is refundable, and the remaining federal credit from 2023 will expire in 2043, the 2022 credits expire in 2042, and the 2021 credits expire in 2042.

Equity Incentive Plan

 

In August 2022, the board of directors adopted the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Plan”), effective as of August 31, 2022. Awards that may be granted under the Plan include: (a) Incentive Stock Options, (b) Non-qualified Stock Options, (c) Stock Appreciation Rights, (d) Restricted Awards, (e) Performance Share Awards, and (f) Performance Compensation Awards. The persons eligible to receive awards are the employees, consultants and directors of the Company and its affiliates and such other individuals designated by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors (the “Compensation Committee”) who are reasonably expected to become employees, consultants and directors after the receipt of awards. The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain the types of employees, consultants and directors who will contribute to the Company’s long-term success; (b) provide incentives that align the interests of employees, consultants and directors with those of the stockholders of the Company; and (c) promote the success of the Company’s business. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee or, in the board’s sole discretion, by the board. Subject to the terms of the Plan and the provisions of Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (if applicable), the Compensation Committee’s charter and applicable laws, and in addition to other express powers and authorization conferred by the Plan. The board initially reserved 750,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the grant of awards. On February 27, 2024, the stockholders of the Company and the board approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan from 750,000 shares of common stock to 2,250,000 shares of common stock.

The restricted stock generally vests based on one to two years of continuous service.

 

Share-Based Payment Valuation

 

Stock Options

 

The grant date fair value of stock options granted containing service-based vesting conditions and generally vesting in certain increments over time is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Prior to the start of trading of the Company’s common stock on November 14, 2023 on the NYSE American LLC stock exchange, the grant-date fair value of the underlying common stock was calculated utilizing a probability-weighted expected return valuation model as of the date the awards are granted. Beginning November 14, 2023the grant-date fair value of the underlying common stock is calculated utilizing the daily closing price as reported by NYSE American LLC.

 

The outstanding options at September 30, 2024 consisted of the following:

 

       Weighted     
       Average   Intrinsic

Private Placement

 

In March 2023 and April 2023, the Company conducted one private placement, and in May 2023 the Company completed a subsequent private placement in which the Company entered into subscription agreements with a number of accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company issued 8% unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,350,000, which bear interest at the annual rate of 8%, and accompanying warrants to purchase an aggregate of 940,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $2.50 per share. The warrants may be voluntarily exercised for cash prior to the maturity date of the promissory notes or will be automatically exercised as described below. The amount outstanding under the 8% unsecured promissory notes must be repaid upon the earlier to occur of the consummation of a Liquidity Event or the second anniversary of the initial closing date of the respective private placement (March 17, 2025 as to $1,500,000 principal and May 2, 2025 as to $850,000 principal). If a Liquidity Event occurs before the second anniversary of the initial closing date of the applicable private placement, the warrants will be automatically exercised as to the unexercised portion of the warrants, the outstanding balance under the 8% unsecured promissory notes will be deemed repaid in the amount of the exercise price for the automatic exercise of the unexercised portion of the related warrants, with any remaining balance owed on the promissory notes to be repaid in cash. If a Liquidity Event does not occur before the second anniversary of the initial closing date of the applicable private placement, then both principal and interest outstanding under the notes must be repaid in cash. The Company agreed to register the resale all of the shares of common stock that such warrants may or shall be exercised to purchase with the shares being registered for sale in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The Company must generally keep the registration statement effective for a period as shall be required to permit the investors to complete the offer and sale of their shares. The Company and the investors also provided customary mutual indemnification relating to any damages arising from such registration.

 

Boustead acted as placement agent in these private placements. Pursuant to the Company’s engagement letter agreement with Boustead, in addition to a commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised in the private placements, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross proceeds raised in the private placements, and payment of certain other expenses, the Company agreed to issue Boustead five-year warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 7% of the common stock underlying the warrants accompanying the 8% unsecured promissory notes at an exercise price equal to the exercise price as defined in such warrants. Under the engagement letter with Boustead, its placement agent’s warrants must be registered for resale with the Company’s initial public offering. However, Boustead has informally deferred these registration rights with respect to the registration statement for the initial public offering.

  

Under the subscription agreements with the investors in the first of these two private placements, the Company was required to use the first $450,000 of the net proceeds from the private placement to expand its current operations, including its technology and intellectual property portfolio, and to fund the costs of its initial public offering. The Company was required to use the next $800,000 of the net proceeds from the private placement for the Repurchase. The Repurchase was required to be consummated only to the extent that it did not impair the Company’s capital within the meaning of Section 160 of the DGCL or the Company’s ability to pay down its debts as they become due. The Company was required to enter into an agreement with Mr. Gile providing that Mr. Gile will use the proceeds of the repurchase to settle an existing lawsuit filed against Mr. Gile by John Dorsey, a former officer and director of the Company, subject to a full release of Mr. Gile and the Company, and that Mr. Gile will resign from the board of directors of the Company and from any officer position with the Company upon the repurchase. The Company was required to use any remaining net proceeds from the private placement, which consisted of $250,000 less placement agent fees and expenses, for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Subsequently, the Company used the net proceeds as required.

The Company may be a party to various legal actions arising from the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, the Company has adequate legal defenses and/or insurance coverage and does not believe the outcome of such legal actions will materially affect the Company’s operation and/or financial position.

 

Claim of John Dorsey

 

On or about November 29, 2022, John Dorsey, a former Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, through his counsel, sent the Company a letter demanding full payment on a $50,000 loan that Mr. Dorsey allegedly made to the Company on or about July 21, 2022 while Mr. Dorsey was the Chief Executive Officer of the Company that was due and payable two weeks thereafter (the “Alleged Loan”). The Company has generally denied entering into a binding agreement with Mr. Dorsey on those terms and that payment is due and owing (the “Loan Dispute”).  Under the Settlement Agreement, Release of Claims, and Covenant Not To Sue, dated as of January 12, 2023, between the Company and Mr. Dorsey (the “January 2023 Dorsey Settlement Agreement”), Mr. Dorsey agreed to a discharge of the Alleged Loan and waiver and release of claims relating to the Alleged Loan and Loan Dispute and covenant not to sue on the basis of such claims or otherwise commence any action or proceeding that would be inconsistent with the release of such claims. The Company agreed to pay Mr. Dorsey $10,000 and issue a promissory note to Mr. Dorsey in the principal amount of $40,000 payable on the earlier of ten business days following the successful closing of an initial public offering of the Company’s common stock that generates at least $1 million in net proceeds to the Company or July 1, 2023. Mr. Dorsey orally waived enforcement of the repayment obligation until the tenth day following the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering. The net balance of this promissory note was $40,000 as of September 30, 2023. On November 16, 2023, in connection with the closing of the Company’s initial public offering, the balance of $40,000 became due and payable within ten days. The balance was fully repaid as of November 22, 2023.

On April 11, 2024, under an Amendment No. 1 to Settlement Agreement and Release (the “Amendment to Midwestern Release Agreement”), dated as of April 11, 2024, between the Company and Midwestern Interactive, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (“Midwestern”), the Company and Midwestern agreed to amend the Settlement Agreement and Release, dated as of December 12, 2023, between the Company and Midwestern (the “Midwestern Release Agreement”). Pursuant to the Midwestern Release Agreement, the Company was required to pay Midwestern a total of $600,000 (the “Midwestern Release Amount”), of which $300,000 was to be paid within three business days of December 12, 2023, and the remaining $300,000 (the “Second Tranche”) was to be paid on or before April 12, 2024. The Company paid the first amount of $300,000 timely and in full. Under the Amendment to Midwestern Release Agreement, the Second Tranche must be paid with interest on the outstanding amount at 6% per annum commencing April 13, 2024, according to the following schedule: $200,000 must be paid on or before April 12, 2024; $25,000 with accrued interest must be paid on or before May 31, 2024; $25,000 with accrued interest must be paid on or before September 30, 2024; $25,000 with accrued interest must be paid on or before July 31, 2024; and $25,000 with accrued interest must be paid on or before August 31, 2024.

 

In addition, the Company agreed to execute an Amended Stipulation to Final Judgment and Confessed Judgment (the “Midwestern Stipulation”) and an Amended Affidavit of Verified Confession of Judgment in favor of Midwestern as to the obligations to pay the Midwestern Release Amount plus interest accruing on the unpaid portion of the Midwestern Release Amount from and including April 13, 2024 plus any costs or expenses, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and costs expended to pursue the matter to judgment, and to enforce and collect the judgment, if necessary, if the terms and conditions of the Midwestern Settlement Agreement, as amended, and the Midwestern Stipulation are not fully adhered to.

 

The Company and Midwestern entered into the Midwestern Release Agreement, as amended, to resolve a dispute between them involving allegations, on the one hand, by Midwestern that it performed work on behalf of the Company for which Midwestern had not been paid pursuant to a Work for Hire – Acknowledgement and Assignment, dated December 21, 2022 (the “Work For Hire Agreement”), and, on the other hand, by the Company that Midwestern did not perform as required by the Work For Hire Agreement.

On October 7, 2024, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to DRCR, dated October 7, 2024, in the principal amount of $150,000 (the “October 2024 Note”).

The conversion right is subject to prior authorization (“Exchange Authorization”) of the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”). The October 2024 Note will be amended to incorporate any modifications requested by the NYSE American in order to provide the Exchange Authorization.

 

Amendment to Termination Agreement; Termination of Engagement Letter and Right of First Refusal of Boustead Securities, LLC

 

On October 15, 2024, the Company entered into a letter agreement, dated as of October 15, 2024 (the “Termination Agreement Amendment”), between the Company and Boustead Securities, LLC, a California limited liability company and a registered broker-dealer (“Boustead”). The Termination Agreement Amendment amends and supplements the Boustead Termination Agreement (as defined in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations – Termination Agreement with Boustead Securities, LLC”) to provide that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable to Boustead pursuant to the Boustead Termination Agreement will be limited to no more than 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to the execution of the Boustead Termination Agreement, or 3,621,725 shares of common stock, which number of shares shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number of shares of common stock issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by the Boustead Termination Agreement under applicable rules of the NYSE American (the “Termination Shares Exchange Cap”), unless the Company’s stockholders have approved the issuance of common stock pursuant to the Boustead Termination Agreement in excess of that amount in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE American (the “Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval”).

 

The Termination Agreement Amendment states that the Company will be required to file a registration statement on Form S-4 that includes a joint proxy statement/prospectus relating to a stockholders meeting of the Company (the “DRCR Transaction Stockholders Meeting”) pursuant to a stock purchase agreement to be entered into in connection with the DRCR Term Sheet. The Termination Agreement Amendment provides that the Company will solicit proxies to vote for the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval at the DRCR Transaction Stockholders Meeting and to include all necessary information to obtain the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval in the related proxy statement. If the Company files a proxy statement in connection with any other meeting of stockholders, or an information statement in connection with a written consent of stockholders in lieu of a stockholders meeting, prior to the DRCR Transaction Stockholders Meeting, it will include a proposal to obtain the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval in such proxy statement and solicit proxies for such Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval, or include disclosure of the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval in such information statement, in each case in accordance with applicable rules of the SEC to obtain the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval.

 

The Termination Agreement Amendment provides that if the Company fails to obtain the Exchange Cap Stockholder Approval by the Extended Meeting Deadline (as defined in the Termination Agreement Amendment), then the Company will promptly, and in any event within 15 days of the Extended Meeting Deadline, make a true up cash payment to Boustead in an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of additional shares of common stock that Boustead would have received pursuant to the Boustead Termination Agreement, but for the Termination Shares Exchange Cap, multiplied by (ii) the value weighted average price of the common stock for the 30-day period ending on the day of the Extended Meeting Deadline.

 

The execution of the Termination Agreement Amendment was determined to be necessary in order for the Company and Boustead to effectuate the Termination Agreement.

 

On October 17, 2024, the Company issued the Initial Termination Shares (as defined in “—Contractual Obligations – Termination Agreement with Boustead Securities, LLC”) to Boustead, resulting in the termination of the Boustead Engagement Letter (as defined in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations – Termination Agreement with Boustead Securities, LLC”) and the Boustead Right of First Refusal (as defined in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations – Termination Agreement with Boustead Securities, LLC”).

 

October 2024 Voluntary Temporary Offer of Reduced Exercise Price of Warrants Issued to FirstFire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC

On the same date, FirstFire accepted and executed the October 2024 Reduced Exercise Price Offer. The October 2024 Reduced Exercise Price Offer was subject to certain terms and conditions, including the following: (i) The FirstFire Warrants may only be exercised at the October 2024 Reduced Exercise Price on or prior to November 8, 2024; (ii) no adjustment to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the FirstFirst Warrants could occur as a result of the October 2024 Reduced Exercise Price Offer or any exercise of the FirstFire Warrants according to its terms; (iii) the October 2024 Reduced Exercise Price Offer had no effect on the terms and conditions of the Redemption Agreement, such that any exercise of the FirstFire Warrants at the Reduced Exercise Price would reduce the Redemption Price for the remaining unexercised portion of the FirstFire Warrants by the same amount as would apply to an exercise of the FirstFire Warrants at the initial exercise price of $0.30 per share; and (iv) the October 2024 Reduced Exercise Price Offer was conditioned on its approval by the board of directors of the Company. In addition, under the terms of the October 2024 Reduced Exercise Price Offer, any attempt to exercise the FirstFire Warrants by cashless exercise at the Reduced Exercise Price will be null and void.

Going Concern Considerations

Going Concern Considerations

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. We sustained significant losses and negative cash flows from operations and are dependent on debt and equity financing to fund operations. We incurred a net loss of approximately $1.602 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $0.920 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. We incurred a net loss of approximately $5.413 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $2.676 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We had cash used in operating activities of approximately $3.489 million and $1.497 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $22.372 million and $16.959 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company is continuing its path to profitability through increased business development, marketing and sales of the Company’s multiple lines of subscriptions.

Failure to successfully continue to grow operational revenues could harm our profitability and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We face all of the risks inherent in a new business, including the need for significant additional capital, management’s potential underestimation of initial and ongoing costs, and potential delays and other problems in connection with establishing sales channels.

We are continuing our plan to further grow and expand operations and seek sources of capital to pay our contractual obligations as they come due. Management believes that its current operating strategy will provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern as long as we are able to obtain additional financing; however, there is no assurance this will occur. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Estimates

Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments, including certificates of deposit (“CDs”) purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash deposits are held with financial institutions with investment-grade ratings in the United States of America, or U.S. Cash deposits typically exceed federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash on deposit with banks denominated in U.S. dollars and investments in money market funds.

 

Short-term Investments

Short-term Investments

The Company classifies its certificates of deposit as short-term investments and reassesses the appropriateness of the classification of its investments at the end of each reporting period. Certificates of deposit held for investment with an original maturity greater than three months are carried at amortized cost and reported as short-term investments on the balance sheets. The type of certificates of deposit that the Company invests in are not considered debt securities under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, Investments - Debt Securities.

As of September 30, 2024 the Company had $0 in certificates of deposit and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $2.1 million in certificates of deposit. The Company classified $2.1 million of its certificates of deposits as short-term investments on its balance sheets as of December 31, 2023.

Receivables and Credit Policy

Receivables and Credit Policy

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. There were $23,668 of open receivables at September 30, 2024 and $58,775 at December 31, 2023. The Company reviews its receivables in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”), which currently has a minimal impact on the Company. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company believes the accounts receivable are fully collectable.

Payment Terms

Payment Terms

Users may access the Company’s website and application on either a free-trial or paid basis. Users that are not eligible or no longer eligible for free-trial access are required to have subscriptions by making payment to the Company prior to access to the Company’s website and application, except that user organizations may have subscriptions by agreeing to make payment on a monthly installment basis.  If a required payment is not made, access to the Company’s website and application is suspended until the required payment is received.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income.

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets which range from three to five years.

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Based on this assessment there was no impairment at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Internally Developed Software

Internally Developed Software

Software consists of an internally developed information system for use by the Company in matching athletes with qualified coaches. The Company has capitalized costs incurred with development and upgrades of the information systems in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Costs incurred up to and including the feasibility stage of development as well as maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company amortizes these capitalized costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset of five years.

 

The Company periodically performs reviews of the recoverability of such capitalized technology costs. At the time a determination is made that capitalized amounts are not recoverable based on estimated cash flows to be generated from technology; any remaining capitalized amounts are written off. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have an impairment charge.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of purchased development software, customer lists, trademarks, software IP, and customer data in the form of verifiable video uploads, player statistics, and academic records. Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For intangible assets that have finite lives, the assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. For intangible assets with indefinite lives, the assets are tested periodically for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition.

Stock Subscription Revenue

Stock Subscription Revenue

The Company records stock issuances at the effective date. If the subscription is not funded upon issuance, the Company records a stock subscription receivable as an asset on the balance sheet. When stock subscription receivables are not received prior to the issuance of financial statements at a reporting date in satisfaction of the requirements under ASC 505-10-45-2, the stock subscription receivable is reclassified as a contra account to stockholder’s equity (deficit) on the balance sheet.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments consisting of CDs. Total cash balances exceeded insured balances by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as of December 31, 2023. The company has cash equivalents that are invested in highly rated money market funds invested only in obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses the fair value framework that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques for recognizing financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis and for non-financial assets and liabilities when these items are re-measured. Fair value is considered to be the exchange price in an orderly transaction between market participants, to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. The Company categorizes each of its fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

These levels are:

Level 1 – This level consists of valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are identical to the assets or liabilities being measured.

Level 2 – This level consists of valuation techniques in which significant inputs include quoted prices from active markets for assets or liabilities that are similar to the assets or liabilities being measured and/or quoted prices for assets or liabilities that are identical or similar to the assets or liabilities being measured from markets that are not active. Also, model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets are Level 2 valuation techniques.

Level 3 – This level consists of valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are valuation technique inputs that reflect assumptions about inputs that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company’s financial instruments also include accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, their fair values approximate their carrying values on the balance sheet.

 

ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.

The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.

Due to the short-term nature of all financial assets and liabilities, their carrying value approximates their fair value as of the balance sheet dates.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of internally developed software and net operating loss and research and development tax credit carry forwards for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company converted to a C corporation in August of 2021. As a limited liability company for the 2020 year and through the date of conversion in 2021, the Company’s taxable loss was allocated to members in accordance with their respective percentage of ownership. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the financial statements for the period prior to the Company’s conversion to a C corporation.

The Company evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the unrecognized tax benefits accrual was zero. The Company will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if incurred. As of September 30, 2024, the 2020 through 2023 tax years generally remain subject to examination by federal and state authorities.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenues are contract liabilities for collections on subscription agreements in excess of revenue recognized.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenue under the guidance of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers (“ASC 606”).

ASC 606 prescribes a five-step model that focuses on transfer of control and entitlement to payment when determining the amount of revenue to be recognized. Under the ASC 606 guidance, an entity is required to perform the following five steps:

(1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Revenue from performance obligations satisfied at a point in time consist of sales to individuals representing a one-month subscription and are recognized at the end of the subscription.

Revenue from performance obligations satisfied over time consists of the sale of subscription agreements to individual organizations or customers that are more than one month in duration and are recognized on a monthly basis over the life of the subscription agreement. There were $23,668 of open receivables at September 30, 2024 and $58,775 at December 31, 2023.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized over the period the related obligation is outstanding using the straight-line method. The straight-line method is a reasonable estimate of the effective interest method due to the relatively short maturities of the related debt. Debt issuance costs are included within long-term debt on the balance sheet. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense in the accompanying financial statements. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, unamortized debt issuance costs are $0 and $0, respectively.

 

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs amounted to ($1,319) for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to a refund received and $75,565 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Such costs amounted to $92,290 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $312,295 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Advertising costs are included in advertising and marketing expenses in the statements of operations.

Contract Costs

Contract Costs

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed as incurred as the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is estimated to be one year or less.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation costs under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense recognized includes the compensation cost for all stock-based payments granted to employees, officers, and directors based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. ASC 718 is also applied to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled during the periods reported. Stock-based compensation is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite vesting period and over the nonemployee’s period of providing goods or services.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the common stock equivalents. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, 296,000 and 488,800, respectively, stock options were excluded from dilutive loss per share as their effects were anti-dilutive.

Leases

Leases

At the inception or modification of a contract, the Company determines whether a lease exists and classifies its leases as an operating or finance lease at commencement. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent their obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the lease liability is calculated at lease commencement as the present value of unpaid lease payments using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term and is determined using a portfolio approach based on information available at the commencement date of the lease.

The lease asset also reflects any prepaid rent, initial direct costs incurred and lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include optional extension periods when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised.

Leases with an initial expected term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Balance Sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For certain classes of underlying assets, the Company has elected to not separate fixed lease components from the fixed non-lease components.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred Offering Costs

The Company capitalizes certain legal, accounting, and other third-party fees that are directly related to the Company’s equity financings, including the Company’s initial public offering, until such financings are consummated. After consummation of an equity financing, these costs are then recorded as a reduction of the proceeds received as a result of the financing. Should a planned equity financing be abandoned, terminated, or significantly delayed, the deferred offering costs would be immediately written off to operating expenses. Upon the closing of the initial public offering in November 2023, all deferred offering costs in the accompanying balance sheets were reclassified from prepaid expenses and other current assets and recorded against the initial public offering proceeds as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. There were no deferred offering costs capitalized as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, such as accounts receivable. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it which are listed below:

ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

On November 4, 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses," that improves financial reporting by requiring public companies to disclose additional information about certain expenses in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments in the ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07 and intends to adopt and report on this topic as required by this ASU.
