Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the 2024 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the 2024 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or if we identify additional material weaknesses in the future, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect our business and the trading price of our Class A common stock.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, we identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that continue to exist as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The material weaknesses identified relate to (i) our failure to design and maintain effective monitoring procedures and controls to evaluate the effectiveness of our individual control activities; (ii) a lack of sufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, training and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely; and (iii) documentation of certain complex accounting analyses and significant accounting positions that were not contemporaneously reviewed independently of the preparer.

If we are unable to successfully remediate our existing or any future material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or identify any additional material weaknesses, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected, we may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports and applicable listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting, and the share price of our Class A common stock may decline as a result. In addition, we could become subject to investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources. See Part II, Item 9A – “Controls and Procedures – Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Item 4 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on material weaknesses and our remediation plans.

Limits on our ability to sell securities under the April Purchase Agreements may affect our ability to finance our operations.

The April Purchase Agreements prohibited us from issuing, entering into any agreement to issue or announcing the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Class A common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into Class A common stock for a period commencing April 11, 2025, and expiring four and one-half (4½) months thereafter in connection with a financing transaction without the prior written consent of purchasers that purchased at least 50.1% in interest of the shares of Class A common stock and pre-funded warrants issued in the April Private Placement based on the initial subscription amounts under the April Purchase Agreements. The April Purchase Agreements further provide that, pursuant to the Right of First Refusal, until the first anniversary of the closing date, the purchasers have the right to participate in certain subsequent financings in an amount equal to 100% of the amount of the subsequent financing (or 80% in the case of a public offering or an offering of securities registered under a shelf registration statement on Form S-3) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the subsequent financing. To the extent we required additional funding, we will therefore be limited in the types of fundraising transactions that we are able to pursue in compliance with the April Purchase Agreements. If funding is not available or not available at terms acceptable to us, we may be compelled to further reduce overhead costs and our cash obligations in the short term. In addition, we may look to divest or bring in equity partners for our various divisions and bring in near term capital.

If we fail to maintain compliance with the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market our Class A common stock could be delisted, which could affect the market price and liquidity of our Class A common stock.

We are required to continually meet Nasdaq’s listing requirements, including, among other things, the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, which requires a minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of at least $2,500,000 for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). As described in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 22, 2024, we received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Staff on November 20, 2024 notifying us that we were not in compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. In our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we reported stockholders’ equity of $2,170,911, which was below the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. Additionally, we did not meet either of the alternative Nasdaq continued listing standards under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, which include (i) a market value of listed securities of at least $35 million or (ii) net income of $500,000 from continuing operations in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years. As of December 31, 2024, our stockholders’ equity was $1,226,002.

In accordance with Nasdaq rules, we had until January 6, 2025 to submit a plan to the Nasdaq Staff to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, which plan we submitted by such date. On March 3, 2025, Nasdaq notified us that, based on Nasdaq’s review of our submission, Nasdaq’s staff has determined to grant us an extension to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement until April 14, 2025, subject to our regaining and evidencing compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement by such date.

On April 15, 2025, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Staff stating that based on our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2025, Nasdaq had determined that we complied with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. Nasdaq will continue to monitor our ongoing compliance with the continued listing requirements for The Nasdaq Capital Market and, if at the time of our next periodic report we do not evidence compliance we may be subject to delisting. As of September 30, 2025, our stockholders’ equity was $6,794,835.

Any delisting of our Class A common stock from Nasdaq, including as a result of our inability to maintain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, could adversely affect our ability to attract new investors, reduce the liquidity of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock, reduce our ability to raise additional capital, reduce the price at which our Class A common stock trades, result in negative publicity and increase the transaction costs inherent in trading such shares with overall negative effects for our stockholders. We cannot assure you that our Class A common stock, if delisted from Nasdaq, would be listed on another national securities exchange or quoted on an over-the-counter quotation system. In addition, delisting of our Class A common stock could deter broker-dealers from making a market in or otherwise seeking or generating interest in our Class A common stock and might deter certain institutions and persons from investing in our securities at all. For these reasons and others, delisting could adversely affect our business, financial condition and liquidity.

We depend on a relatively small number of franchises for a significant portion of our revenues and profits.

We follow a franchise model and a significant portion of our revenues has historically been derived from products based on a relatively small number of popular franchises, including our NASCAR products, which have historically accounted for the majority of our revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, our top two customers accounted for 80% and 81% of our revenues, respectively. Our top three customers accounted for approximately 85% and 77% of our accounts receivable as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, revenues associated with our NASCAR franchise accounted for approximately 52% and 72% of our total revenue, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, sales through our three main distribution channels accounted for approximately 86% and 83% of our consolidated revenues, respectively. No other distribution channel accounted for 10% or more of our revenues in those periods. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, sales through our three main distribution channels accounted for approximately 77% and 89% of our accounts receivable, respectively. No other distribution channel accounted for 10% or more of our accounts receivable in those periods. A reduction in sales from or loss of these distribution channels would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Due to this dependence on a limited number of franchises, the failure to achieve anticipated results by one or more products based on these franchises, or the loss of any franchise, could negatively impact our business. For example, with the consummation of the sale of our NASCAR License to iRacing on October 3, 2023, we are no longer the official video game developer and publisher for the NASCAR video game racing franchise and no longer have the exclusive right to create and organize esports leagues and events for NASCAR using our NASCAR racing video games. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2024 we no longer had the right to use the NASCAR brand for our products other than a limited non-exclusive right and license to, among other things, sell NASCAR games and DLCs that were in our product portfolio through December 31, 2024, and since that date we have no further right to use the NASCAR brand for our products. Similarly, our BTCC license agreement and INDYCAR license agreements were terminated by the respective licensors, effective November 2023. We believe this will require us to modify our existing business model and significantly alter the risk profile relating to our operations. As a result, we may encounter difficulties or challenges in continuing operations due to the sale of our NASCAR License and the termination of our BTCC license agreement and INDYCAR license agreements, and our cash flows and results of operations will likely be materially adversely impacted as we anticipate no more revenues to be generated from our NASCAR products.

Additionally, if the popularity of a franchise declines, we may have to write off the unrecovered portion of the underlying intellectual property assets, which could negatively impact our business. In the future, we expect this trend to continue with a relatively limited number of franchises producing a disproportionately high percentage of our revenues and profits.

The shutdown of the U.S. federal government may adversely affect our business.

A prolonged or recurring shutdown of the U.S. federal government may adversely affect our business operations and regulatory compliance. During such shutdowns, while the SEC’s EDGAR system remains operational, the unavailability of SEC staff to review filings, issue comments, or declare registration statements effective may delay our ability to complete public offerings, respond to comment letters, or obtain timely regulatory approvals. These delays could impact our access to capital markets, hinder strategic transactions, and create uncertainty around our disclosure obligations. Additionally, the lack of interpretive guidance or exemptive relief during a shutdown may increase legal and compliance risks. We continue to monitor developments and adjust our regulatory strategies accordingly, but there can be no assurance that future shutdowns will not materially affect our operations or financial condition.
