Current report
The risk factors below which we have marked with an asterisk (*) reflect substantive changes from, or additions to, the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Current report
Elray Resources, Inc., beneficially owns a significant percentage of our common stock and as such may be able to exercise significant voting control over us, which could limit other stockholders’ abilities to influence corporate matters and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control.*
Current report
Mr. Jay Goodman, a director of the Company, is the adult son of Mr. Anthony Brian Goodman, who serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Elray and is deemed to beneficially own the securities held by Elray in the Company.
Current report
Elray may have interests, with respect to its Company securities, that are different from other investors and the concentration of voting power held by Elray may have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
Current report
Pursuant to certain Voting Agreements previously entered into, stockholders holding an aggregate of 1,561,166 voting shares or 27.4% of our outstanding voting shares have agreed to vote such shares as recommended by the Board of Directors of the Company, at any meeting of stockholders or via any written consent of stockholders.
Current report
On February 5, 2025, the Company, the Mr. Blair Jordan, our Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Dr. James Woody, entered into a Voting Agreement, whereby Dr. Woody agreed to vote a total of 43,166 shares of the Company’s common stock, as recommended by the Board of Directors of the Company, at any meeting of stockholders or via any written consent of stockholders, which may occur prior to February 5, 2026, the date after August 5, 2025, that Dr. Woody has sold all of the shares, or the date that the Company terminates the Voting Agreement. In order to enforce the terms of the Voting Agreement, Dr. Woody provided Mr. Jordan (or his assigns), solely for the benefit of the Company, an irrevocable voting proxy to vote the 43,166 shares pursuant to the guidelines set forth above at any meeting of stockholders or via any written consent of stockholders.

Removed paragraphs (112)
Previous report
As of the date of this Report, we had 22,891 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, with a weighted average exercise price of $61.92 per share; (a) 15,132 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding public warrants exercisable at an exercise price of $4,370.00 per share, (b) 6,748 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of certain outstanding private placement warrants at an exercise price of $1,900.00 per share, (d) 6,579 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of certain outstanding private placement warrants at an exercise price of $2,850.00 per share, (e) 4,049 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of certain outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.23 per share, (f) 3,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.68 per share, (g) 168 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants which expire on May 2, 2025, and (h) 1,900,138 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.50 per share; and up to a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of 1,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
Previous report
The exercise of such outstanding options or warrants or the conversion of outstanding convertible securities will result in further dilution of your investment. If our existing stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or if the public perceives that such sales could occur, this could have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock, even if there is no relationship between such sales and the performance of our business.
Previous report
Our current cash balance is only expected to be sufficient to fund our planned business operations until approximately December 2025. If additional capital is not available, we may not be able to pursue our planned business operations, may be forced to change our planned business operations, or may take other actions that could adversely impact our stockholders, including seeking bankruptcy protection.
Previous report
We are a clinical stage biotechnology company that is transitioning into the iGaming industry which currently has no revenue. Thus, our business does not generate the cash necessary to finance our planned business operations. We will require significant additional capital to: (i) protect our intellectual property; (ii) attract and retain highly-qualified personnel; (iii) respond effectively to competitive pressures; and (iv) acquire complementary businesses or technologies.
Previous report
Our future capital needs depend on many factors, including: (i) the scope, duration and expenditures associated with our research, development and commercialization efforts as they relate to iGaming; (ii) the outcome of potential partnering or licensing transactions, if any; (iii) competing technological developments with regards to our iGaming platform; and (iv) protecting and supporting our proprietary patent positions.
Previous report
We will need to raise substantial additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or strategic alliances and licensing arrangements to finance our planned business operations. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. General market conditions, rising interest rates and inflation, as well as global conflicts such as the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and Israel and Hamas, may make it difficult for us to seek financing from the capital markets, and the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders. For example, if we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, further dilution to our stockholders will result, which may substantially dilute the value of their investment. Any equity financing may also have the effect of reducing the conversion or exercise price of our outstanding convertible or exercisable securities, which could result in the issuance (or potential issuance) of a significant number of additional shares of our common stock. In addition, as a condition to providing additional funds to us, future investors may demand, and may be granted, rights superior to those of existing stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that could limit our flexibility to conduct future business activities and, in the event of insolvency, could be paid before holders of equity securities received any distribution of our assets. We may be required to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates, or grant licenses through alliance, joint venture or agreements on terms that are not favorable to us, in order to raise additional funds. Our current cash balance is only expected to be sufficient to fund our planned business operations until approximately December 2025. If adequate funds are not available, we may have to delay, reduce or eliminate one or more of our planned activities with respect to our business, or terminate our operations, or may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection. These actions would likely reduce the market price of our common stock.
Previous report
Our accounts payable are significant, and we do not currently have sufficient funds to pay such accounts payable, a large portion of which are past due.
Previous report
We do not currently have adequate cash on hand, and do not expect to generate revenues, sufficient to pay down our significant accounts payable balance. A large portion of our accounts payable balance represents amounts which are past due. While we are actively working with creditors to attempt to satisfy amounts owed in shares of common stock, the issuance of which may cause dilution to existing stockholders, there can be no assurance that such creditors will agree to accept equity in lieu of cash. Such creditors may in the future exercise remedies, including suing the Company for nonpayment or attempting to force the Company into receivership. Creditor litigation may be costly and resource intensive, which could deplete our already limited available cash and/or force us to raise additional funding, which may be dilutive to existing stockholders or seek bankruptcy protection. In the event of a bankruptcy proceeding or insolvency, or restructuring of our capital structure, holders of the Company’s common stock could suffer a total loss of their investment.
Previous report
We will need to raise additional capital, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, causing dilution to our stockholders, restricting our operations or adversely affecting our ability to operate our business.
Previous report
We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all, including as a result of macroeconomic conditions such as a severe or prolonged economic downturn. Disruption, uncertainty or volatility in the capital markets could increase our cost of capital or limit our ability to raise funds needed to operate our business. Disruptions could be caused by Federal Reserve policies and actions, currency concerns, inflation, economic downturn or uncertainty, monetary policies, failures of financial institutions, U.S. debt management concerns, and U.S. debt limit and budget disputes, including government shutdowns, European and worldwide sovereign debt concerns, other global or geopolitical events, or other factors. Current macroeconomic conditions have negatively impacted the U.S. banking sector, including for example, the recent closures and FDIC receiverships of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. Although we do not have any accounts at or business relationships with these banks, we may be negatively impacted by other disruptions to the U.S. banking system caused by these or similar developments.
Previous report
We recently purchased intellectual property and source code relating to the backend of an online casino; however, we have no experience operating in the gaming industry and may not be successful in this endeavor. We also need to purchase or develop a front end for our online casino intellectual property.
Previous report
As described in greater detail above under “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Business Overview—Planned iGaming Casino Operations—Asset Purchase Agreement”, on September 30, 2024, we completed the acquisition of source code and intellectual property relating to the backend of an online blockchain casino. Neither we, nor our officers, have significant experience in operating an online casino, provided that our current Chief Financial Officer previously served as Chief Financial Officer of an online gaming company. We may not be able to retain, hire or train personnel as quickly or efficiently as we need or on terms that are acceptable to us. An inability to efficiently operate our businesses would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, results of operations, and prospects.
Previous report
Additionally, before being able to monetize the acquired assets we will need to either purchase or create a front end for the online casino and obtain required permits and licenses. The purchase or creation of such front end may be more time consuming or expensive than we anticipate, and we may never generate significant revenues from such assets or operations. Additionally, it may be difficult, costly or too time consuming to obtain required licenses and permits, and as a result, we may never generate revenues through such acquisition.
Previous report
We depend on our key personnel and our ability to attract and retain employees.
Previous report
Our future growth and success depend on our ability to recruit, retain, manage and motivate our employees. We are highly dependent on our current management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer, Blair Jordan and our Chief Financial Officer, Omar Jimenez. The inability to hire or retain experienced management personnel could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan and harm our operating results. The competition for qualified personnel is intense and we may be unable to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel necessary for the development of our business or to recruit suitable replacement personnel.
Previous report
Our industry and the broader U.S. economy have experienced higher than expected inflationary pressures during 2022 and 2023, related to continued supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and geopolitical instability. Should these conditions persist, our business, future results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
Previous report
During 2022 and the early part of 2023, there were significant increases in the costs of certain materials, products and shipping costs, as a result of availability constraints, supply chain disruption, increased demand, labor shortages associated with a fully employed U.S. labor force, high inflation and other factors. Supply and demand fundamentals have been further aggravated by disruptions in global energy supply caused by multiple geopolitical events, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas, which threatens to spread to other Middle Eastern countries. Service, materials and shipping costs have also increased accordingly with general supply chain and inflation issues seen throughout the U.S. leading to increased operating costs. Supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures have in the past and may in the future, adversely impact our operating costs and may negatively impact our future product costs, consulting costs and expenses which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Previous report
Our License Agreements with the University of Oxford and other licensors may be terminated in certain circumstances without our consent.
Previous report
All of our License Agreements with the University of Oxford and other licensors remain subject to various conditions and covenants, and provide for certain termination rights to the licensors. Those agreements typically allow termination by the licensor for our failure to pay amounts due timely, our failure to cure a material breach under the terms of the applicable license agreement, our insolvency, and certain changes in our operations, including operating in areas or industries which Oxford deems outside of its guidelines, including the gambling industry. As a result, if we are deemed insolvent, or in the event we seek bankruptcy protection, or we continue to operate in the gambling industry, the licensors of our license agreements may terminate their license agreements with us. In the event such license agreements are terminated, we could lose the right to develop all of our platforms and technologies, may lose any investments made towards developing such platforms and technologies, and may be left without any intellectual property, product pathways, or development opportunities. Such terminations may result in the value of our securities declining in value or becoming worthless, the need for us to change our business plan, and may result in the Company seeking bankruptcy protection.
Previous report
On June 29, 2022, AmTrust International Underwriters DAC (“AmTrust”), which was the premerger directors’ and officers’ insurance policy underwriter for KBL, filed a declaratory relief action against us in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Declaratory Relief Action”) seeking declaration of AmTrust’s obligations under the directors’ and officers’ insurance policy. In the Declaratory Relief Action, AmTrust is claiming that as a result of the merger, we are no longer the insured under the subject insurance policy, notwithstanding the fact that the fees which we seek to recover from AmTrust relate to matters occurring prior to the merger. The parties filed various answers and the Company filed counterclaims against AmTrust between September 2022 and November 2022, when the Company filed a Motion for Summary Adjudication against both AmTrust and Freedom. The Motion was fully briefed and a hearing was held on March 9, 2023. The standard to prevail on a Motion for Summary Adjudication in the Court is high to prevail and requires a judge to find that there are no disputed issues of fact so that they can rule on the issues as a matter of law. In this instance the judge found three major issues could be decided as a matter of law in the Company’s favor and that one issue, the Change in Control exclusion, requires further discovery.
Previous report
On April 21, 2023, the Court issued an Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part the Company’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. Specifically, the Court granted summary adjudication in favor of the Company on the following issues: (a) that the Company is, in fact, an insured under both the AmTrust and Freedom insurance policies; (b) that certain SEC subpoena related expenses for defendants Dr. Marlene Krauss, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Director, and George Hornig, the former Chairman of the Board, are within the basic scope of coverage under both the AmTrust and Freedom insurance policies; and (c) that the Insured vs. Insured exclusion relied upon by AmTrust and Freedom is not applicable to bar any such coverage.
Previous report
The Court also found that there were issues of disputed facts as to the Change in Control exclusion contained within the policies, which therefore precluded the Court from granting the remainder of the Company’s requests for summary adjudication as a matter of law. Accordingly, the Court, at this time, denied the Company’s further requests for summary adjudication and deemed that for the time being, the Change in Control issue is to be determined at the time of trial, in order to find that the policies provide (i) coverage for the fees which the Company has advanced and will advance to Dr. Marlene Krauss and George Hornig; (ii) that AmTrust has breached the policy; (iii) that AmTrust must pay such expenses of the Company; and that, once the AmTrust policy has been exhausted, (iv) that Freedom will be obligated to pay such expenses of the Company pursuant to its policy.
Previous report
On August 4, 2023, the Court granted the Company’s request to file a second motion for partial summary judgment in this case, this one being on the issue of whether AmTrust should be required to advance to the Company the defense costs being incurred by Dr. Marlene Krauss and George Hornig during the pendency of the case. The Company filed such Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, and it has now been fully briefed by the parties. The hearing for such motion was held on January 11, 2024. After the matter was taken under submission, on February 12, 2024, the Court granted the Company’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment against both AmTrust and Freedom, and ordered as follows: (a) AmTrust is obligated under its insurance policy with the Company to advance to the Company all defense costs in excess of the deductible that the Company has advanced, or will advance, to Dr. Krauss and Mr. Hornig in connection with certain SEC Subpoenas, and (b) upon exhaustion of the AmTrust insurance policy, Freedom is obligated to do the same pursuant to its excess liability insurance policy with the Company. This Order applies throughout the interim of the case, but does not constitute a final judgment, and both the Company and the two insurers retain their rights to contest all applicable issues at trial, which is scheduled for May 12, 2025. A final judgment following trial could potentially confirm these obligations of the insurers or, alternatively, reverse and require the Company to repay all or portions of such advance payments. There is no assurance at this time as to what the final judgment may entail.
Previous report
On April 16, 2024, AmTrust paid the Company $2.27 million in reimbursement of fees which the Company has advanced to Dr. Marlene Krauss and George Hornig, of which the Company received $1.5 million after the payment of attorney’s fees. On May 9, 2024, AmTrust paid the Company $300,140 in reimbursement of fees which the Company had advanced to Dr. Marlene Krauss and George Hornig, of which the Company has received $200,093 after the payment of attorney’s fees.
Previous report
The Company, Freedom and Amtrust held a mediation conference on August 21, 2024, during which, the Company agreed to the terms of a settlement with Freedom, pursuant to which Freedom agreed to pay $125,000 to the Company, of which the Company received approximately $83,333 after the payment of legal fees.
Previous report
Amtrust and the Company have commenced written discovery proceedings against each other and anticipate that depositions will also occur. The Company intends to continue to vigorously pursue this matter in order to establish the Company’s entitlement to full and final payment by AmTrust of the subject advancement expenses of the Company. While the Company continues to believe it has a strong case against AmTrust, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in this action. The final outcome of the litigation is unknown at this time and such final outcome could be materially adverse to the Company.
Previous report
We are currently subject to, and expect to continue to be regularly subject to, actual and threatened claims, litigation, reviews, investigations, and other proceedings. In addition, we have filed lawsuits against certain parties for matters we discovered which related to KBL, prior to the November 6, 2020, business combination. Any of these types of proceedings may have an adverse effect on us because of legal costs, disruption of our operations, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, and other factors. The outcomes of these matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. Determining legal reserves and possible losses from such matters involves judgment and may not reflect the full range of uncertainties and unpredictable outcomes. Until the final resolution of such matters, we may be exposed to losses in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts could be material. Should any of our estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, it is possible that a resolution of one or more such proceedings, including as a result of a settlement, could require us to make substantial future payments, prevent us from offering certain products or services, require us to change our business practices in a manner materially adverse to our business, requiring development of non-infringing or otherwise altered products or technologies, damaging our reputation, or otherwise having a material effect on our operations.

Risks Relating to our Planned Online Casino Operations
Previous report
We have no operating history in the gaming industry and have incurred significant operating losses since inception. We may never become profitable or, if achieved, be able to sustain profitability.
Previous report
We have no operating history in the gaming industry upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that our gaming operations will prove successful, and we may never achieve profitable operations. We currently expect to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. Even if we do achieve profitability, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to sustain profitability. As a result of the acquisition of certain blockchain casino intellectual property, we plan to focus a portion of our attention on the online gaming industry, and we have limited experience in that industry. If we are unsuccessful in operating our business, it will have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Previous report
The online gaming industry is highly competitive, and if the Company fails to compete effectively, it could experience price reductions, reduced margins or loss of revenues.
Previous report
The online gaming industry is highly competitive. A number of companies offer products and services that are similar to the Company’s planned online casino. The majority of the Company’s current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources, greater name recognition, broader or more integrated product offerings, larger technical staffs and a larger installed customer base. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, develop superior products, and devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of online gaming operations than the Company can.
Previous report
Because of the rapid growth of the gaming industry, and the relatively low capital barriers to entry in the software industry, the Company expects additional competition from other established and emerging companies. Additionally, the Company’s competitors could combine or merge to become more formidable competitors or may adapt more quickly than we can to new technologies, evolving industry trends and changing customer requirements.
Previous report
Competition within the global entertainment and gaming industries is intense and the future offerings of the Company may not be able to compete against other competing forms of entertainment such as television, movies and sporting events, as well as other entertainment and gaming options on the Internet. If the Company’s offerings are not popular, the Company’s business could be harmed.
Previous report
The Company plans to begin operating in the global gaming industry. The users of the Company’s planned online casino offering will face a vast array of entertainment choices. Other forms of entertainment, such as television, movies, sporting events and in-person casinos, are more well established and may be perceived by users to offer greater variety, affordability, interactivity and enjoyment. The Company’s planned products and services will compete with these other forms of entertainment for the discretionary time and income of end users. If we are unable to sustain sufficient interest in the Company’s planned products, services and offerings in comparison to other forms of entertainment, including new forms of entertainment, the Company’s business model may not be viable.
Previous report
The Company will face the risk of fraud, theft, and cheating.
Previous report
The Company will face the risk that third-parties, employees or consultants may attempt or commit fraud or theft or cheat using the Company’s products. Such risks include backdoors, nefarious code and other efforts. Failure to discover such acts or schemes in a timely manner could result in losses in the Company’s operations and those of the Company’s future customers. Negative publicity related to such acts or schemes could have an adverse effect on the Company’s reputation, potentially causing a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.
Previous report
The Company will rely on third party cloud services and such providers or services may encounter technical problems and service interruptions.
Previous report
The Company expects to host its future services on a combination of proprietary and cloud servers. Such servers have in the past and may in the future experience slower response times or interruptions as a result of increased traffic or other reasons. The Company will not have control over the operations of the facilities or infrastructure of the third-party service providers that they use. Such third parties’ facilities are vulnerable to damage or interruption from natural disasters, cybersecurity attacks, terrorist attacks, power outages and similar events or acts of misconduct. We expect that the continuing and uninterrupted performance of the Company’s platform will be critical to our success. The Company may experience, interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability from these third-party service providers from time to time due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, website hosting disruptions and capacity constraints. In addition, any changes in these third parties’ service levels may adversely affect our ability to meet the requirements of the Company’s users. Since our platform’s continuing and uninterrupted performance is expected to be critical to our success, sustained or repeated system failures would reduce the attractiveness of our offerings. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our performance, especially during peak usage times, as the Company expands, and the usage of our offerings increases. Any negative publicity arising from these disruptions could harm our reputation and brand and may adversely affect the usage of our offerings. Any of the above circumstances or events may harm our reputation, reduce the availability or usage of our platform, lead to a significant loss of revenue, increase our costs, and impair our ability to attract new customers, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, under “Risk Factors” and below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.
Current wording
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Commission on March 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”), under the heading “Risk Factors”, except as discussed below, and investors should review the risks provided in the Form 10-K, and below, prior to making an investment in the Company. The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in the Form 10-K, under “Risk Factors” and below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial conditions and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.
Previous wording
The Company has not generated any revenues and has incurred significant losses since inception. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $129,238,340 and a working capital deficit of $5,158,449, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a net loss of $1,894,683 and cash used in operating activities of $529,906. The Company expects to invest a significant amount of capital to commercialize its iGaming assets and fund research and development. On September 29, 2024, the Company acquired certain source code and intellectual property relating to an online blockchain casino and plans to build and launch a fully operational casino operation as part of its future operations. The Company expects to invest a significant amount of capital to fund the development and operation of this business. As a result, the Company expects that its operating expenses will increase significantly, and consequently will require significant revenues to become profitable. Even if the Company does become profitable, it may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. The Company cannot predict when, if ever, it will be profitable. As of November 14, 2024, we had cash on hand of approximately $2.7 million, which we expect will last us until December 2025. The Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. As we are not generating revenues, we need to raise a significant amount of capital in order to pay our debts and cover our operating costs. While we have raised funds in the past through debt and the sale of equity, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional needed capital or that such capital will be available under favorable terms.
Current wording
The Company has not generated any revenues and has incurred significant losses since inception. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $143,892,576 and working capital of $86,956, and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a net loss of $2,369,232 and cash used in operating activities of $853,723. The Company expects to invest a significant amount of capital to commercialize its iGaming assets and fund research and development. On September 29, 2024, the Company acquired certain source code and intellectual property relating to an online blockchain casino and plans to build and launch a fully operational casino operation as part of its future operations. The Company expects to invest a significant amount of capital to fund the development and operation of this business. As a result, the Company expects that its operating expenses will increase significantly, and consequently will require significant revenues to become profitable. Even if the Company does become profitable, it may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. The Company cannot predict when, if ever, it will be profitable. As of May 15, 2025, we had cash on hand of approximately $2.6 million, including certain funds with certain restrictions on use (including, restrictions on repaying existing indebtedness) which we expect will last us until December 2025. Our Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. As we are not generating revenues, we need to raise a significant amount of capital in order to pay our debts and cover our operating costs. While we have raised funds in the past through debt and the sale of equity, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional needed capital or that such capital will be available under favorable terms.
Previous wording
We currently have a monthly cash requirement spend of approximately $200,000. We believe that in the aggregate, we will require significant additional capital funding to support and expand our iGaming assets, the research and development and marketing of our products, fund future clinical trials, repay debt obligations, provide capital expenditures for additional equipment and development costs, payment obligations, office space and systems for managing the business, and cover other operating costs until our planned revenue streams from products are fully-implemented and begin to offset our operating costs, if ever.

We currently have a highly sporadic, illiquid and volatile market for our common stock, which market is anticipated to remain sporadic, illiquid and volatile in the future. During the last 52 weeks our common stock has traded as high as $17.75 per share and as low as $1.16 per share. The market price of our common stock may continue to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Our financial performance, government regulatory action, tax laws, interest rates, and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our common stock.

Previous wording
Stock markets in general and our stock price in particular have recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies and our company. For example, during 2022, the closing sales prices of our common stock ranged from a post-split adjusted high of $1,482.04 per share to a low of $23.56 per share, during fiscal 2023, the closing sales prices of our common stock ranged from a high of $100.70 per share to a low of $3.21 per share and during fiscal 2024 (through the date of this Report), the closing sales prices of our common stock ranged from a post-split adjusted high of $6.47 per share to a low of $1.18 per share. During this time, we do not believe that we have experienced any material changes in our financial condition or results of operations that would explain such price volatility or trading volume; however, we have sold equity which was dilutive to existing stockholders. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our securities. Additionally, these and other external factors have caused and may continue to cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent our stockholders from readily selling their shares of our common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock.

As a result, following Stockholder Approval, the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock will have significant influence on the stockholder vote. Consequently, they will have the ability to influence matters affecting our stockholders and therefore exercise significant control in determining the outcome of a number of corporate transactions or other matters, including (i) making amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation; (ii) election of directors; and (iii) any merger or significant corporate transactions. As a potential investor in the Company, you should keep in mind that even if you own shares of our common stock and wish to vote them at annual or special shareholder meetings, your shares will have little effect on the outcome of corporate decisions immediately following Stockholder Approval. The interests of the holders of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may not coincide with our interests or the interests of other shareholders.
Current wording
Elray beneficially owns 1,318,000 shares of common stock, 23.1% of our total voting shares; however such shares are subject to the Voting Agreement, discussed in greater detail above underNote 12 Subsequent Events—Elray and Luxor Settlement Agreement, in the footnotes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included above under “Part I – Financial Information” – “Item 1. Financial Statements”, pursuant to which Elray provided Blair Jordan, our Chief Executive Officer and director the right to vote such shares (as discussed in greater detail below), and also holds warrants to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.68 per share, which if exercised for cash, would result in Elray holding 4,318,000 voting shares, or 49.7% of our then total voting shares. As a result, Elray, if it exercises its warrants, could have a significant influence on the stockholder vote. Consequently, it could have the ability to influence matters affecting our stockholders and therefore exercise significant control in determining the outcome of a number of corporate transactions or other matters, including (i) making amendments to our certificate of incorporation; (ii) whether to approve the issuance additional shares of common stock and preferred stock, including to itself; (iii) election of directors; and (iv) any merger or significant corporate transactions, including with itself or other related parties. As a potential investor in the Company, you should keep in mind that even if you own shares of our common stock and wish to vote them at annual or special stockholder meetings, your shares may have little effect on the outcome of corporate decisions due to Elray’s potential ownership. The interests of Elray may not coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders.

We may not receive any further amount under our pre-merger directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in connection with certain litigation matters.
Current wording
Separately, the risk factor from the Form 10-K entitled “We may not receive any additional amounts under our pre-merger directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in connection with certain litigation matters and may be forced to repay $2.57 million previously received”, is no longer a material risk to the Company, as the Company has entered into a settlement agreement with AmTrust, as discussed in greater detail above underNote 12 Subsequent Events—AmTrust Settlement Agreement, in the footnotes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included above under “Part I – Financial Information” – “Item 1. Financial Statements”.

Consequently, the Board of Directors has the ability to influence matters affecting our stockholders and therefore exercise significant control in determining the outcome of a number of corporate transactions or other matters, including (i) making amendments to our certificate of incorporation; (ii) whether to approve the issuance of additional shares of common stock and preferred stock; (iii) election of directors; and (iv) any merger or significant corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of voting rights might adversely affect the market price of our common stock by: (1) delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of our Company; (2) impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving our Company; or (3) discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company.

Wherever possible, our Board will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock or where shares are to be issued to our officers, directors and applicable consultants. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the stockholders, but subject to Nasdaq rules and regulations (which generally require stockholder approval for any transactions which would result in the issuance of more than 20% of our then outstanding shares of common stock or voting rights representing over 20% of our then outstanding shares of stock, subject to certain exceptions), to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In addition, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing stockholders, which may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of the Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.
