Current report
The SEC’s charges against our former independent auditor, Olayinka Oyebola & Co., could impact the credibility of our financial statements and those of YYEM, potentially leading to restatements and other adverse effects.
Current report
In addition to serving as our former independent auditor, OOC was also the independent registered public accounting firm for YYEM for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024. As a result, the SEC action could impact the credibility of YYEM’s financial statements audited by OOC. If a restatement of YYEM’s financial statements is required, it could materially affect our reported financial condition and results of operations, particularly given the impact of the Acquisition. Specifically, any potential restatement could affect the accounting treatment of the acquisition, our historical and pro forma financial statements, and the value of YYEM’s assets on our balance sheet. Furthermore, if any deficiencies in OOC’s audit work necessitate reauditing YYEM’s financial statements, it could result in delays in our SEC filings and increased costs associated with obtaining new audits. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business operations, and the value of our securities.

Previous report
A market for our Common Stock may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our Common Stock.
Previous report
Following the Acquisition, the market price of our Common Stock may continue to fluctuate significantly due to the market’s reaction to the Acquisition and general market and economic conditions. An active trading market for our Common Stock following the Acquisition may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. In addition, the market price of our Common Stock after the Acquisition may vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, our general business condition and the release of our financial reports. Additionally, if our Common Stock becomes delisted from Nasdaq for any reason and is relegated to the OTC Bulletin Board (an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange), the liquidity and price of our Common Stock will be more limited than if we were quoted or listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your shares of Common Stock unless a market for our Common Stock can be established or sustained.

References in this section to “we,” “us,” “our,” “YYEM” and the “company” refer to YYEM giving effect to the Acquisition.
Previous report
We have limited financial resources. Our former independent registered auditors’ report includes an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Previous report
As a result of our deficiency in working capital on April 30, 2024 and other factors, our former auditors have included a paragraph in their audit report regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Previous report
We have recorded net losses since inception and have significant accumulated deficits. We have relied upon loans and equity financings for operating capital. Total revenues may be insufficient to pay off debt and fund operations. We may be required to rely on further debt financing, further loans from related parties, and private or public placements of shares of Common Stock for our additional cash needs. Such funding sources may not be available, or the terms of such funding sources may not be acceptable to the Company.
Previous report
Any acquisitions we make could disrupt our business and seriously harm our financial condition.
Previous report
We have in the past made (and may, from time to time, consider) acquisitions of complementary companies, products or technologies. A primary component of our growth strategy has been to acquire complementary businesses to grow our Company. For example, we acquired the business of Foundation Sports Systems, LLC, in our fiscal year ended April 30, 2021, and the acquisitions of PlaySight and Gameface closed in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022. In the Company’s fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2023, the Company divested PlaySight and 75% of its interest in Foundation Sports as the required monthly cash burn became increasingly difficult to manage as inflation rose and the cost of manufacturing the Company’s non-technological products grew. As a result, the Company sold PlaySight back to its original owners in November 2022, and the Company sold most of Foundation Sports back to their original owners, with an option to purchase any remaining interests. We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions of complementary technologies, products. and businesses as a primary component of our growth strategy to enhance the features and functionality of our technology offerings, expand our customer base, and provide access to new markets and increase economies of scale. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the acquired businesses, the diversion of our management’s attention from other business concerns, and potential adverse effects on existing business relationships, all of which could cause our actual growth or operating results to differ from our expectations. In addition, any acquisitions could involve the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully integrate any acquisitions that we pursue or that such acquisitions will perform as planned or prove to be beneficial to our operations and cash flow. Any such failure could seriously harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Connexa has not historically paid cash dividends on its capital stock. Whether any dividends are declared or paid to stockholders of Connexa following the Acquisition, and the amounts of any such dividends that are declared or paid, are uncertain and depend on a number of factors.

Our revenue from licensing agreements increased significantly in the year ended January 31, 2024 and increased further in the three-month period ended April 30, 2024, constituting substantially all of our revenue, and our results of operations have been, and may continue to be, affected by such arrangements. Licensing agreements involving our intellectual property are subject to various risks. Our licensees may fail to comply with their obligations set out in the respective agreements. If the licensees generate insufficient revenue from their operations, they may be unable to meet the minimum payments required under the agreements. Our licensees may elect to cease the licensing arrangements due to a change in their strategic focus, the availability of funding, or other external factors. Termination of any licensing arrangements may result in a reduction in our revenue and the need for replacement arrangements with other licensees.

Previous wording
While we expect that any mobile applications that we may develop will be free to download from intermediary platforms like the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store, we intend to offer our users the opportunity to purchase subscriptions and features within the applications. These purchases will in most cases be required to be processed through the in-app payment systems provided by the intermediary, thus requiring us to pay them a meaningful share of the revenue we receive from these transactions.

We will continue to rely on a combination of laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. For example, we continue to apply to register, or secure by contract where appropriate, trademarks and service marks as they are developed and used, and we may reserve, register, and renew domain names as we deem appropriate. Effective trademark protection may not be available or sought in every country in which our services are made available, and contractual disputes may affect the use of marks governed by private contract. Similarly, not every variation of a domain name may be available or registered by us, even if available.

Previous wording
Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including lower consumer confidence, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, the availability and cost of credit, and weakness in the economies in which we or our licensees and the users of our services or those of our licensees are located may continue to adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In recent years, the United States, Europe, and other key global markets have experienced historically high levels of inflation, which have impacted, among other things, employee compensation expenses. If inflation rates rise again or continue to remain historically high or further increase in those locations where inflation rates remain elevated, it will likely affect our expenses, and may reduce consumer discretionary spending, which could affect the buying power of our users and lead to a reduction in demand for our services. Other events and trends that could result in decreased levels of consumer confidence and discretionary spending include a general economic downturn, recessionary concerns, high unemployment levels, and increased interest rates, as well as any sudden disruption in business conditions. Economic growth in Mainland China has declined notably in recent years, affecting us through the impact on Hong Kong’s economy and potentially on a China-based licensee. Additionally, geopolitical developments, such as wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, tensions between the United States and China, climate change, and the responses by central banking authorities to control inflation (in some economies of the West) or boost growth (in China), can increase levels of political and economic unpredictability globally and increase the volatility of global financial markets.

Previous wording
Our cash on hand, together with cash generated from product sales, services, cash equivalents, and short-term investments may not meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. We may need to raise additional funds to finance our operations and implement our growth strategy, or to respond to competitive pressures or perceived opportunities, such as investment, acquisition, marketing, and development activities.
Current wording
We have and expect to continue to have substantial working capital needs. Our cash on hand, together with cash generated from product sales, services, cash equivalents, and short-term investments will not meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. We may be required to raise additional funds throughout 2024 or we will need to limit operations until such time as we can raise substantial funds to meet our working capital needs. In addition, we will need to raise additional funds to fund our operations and implement our growth strategy, or to respond to competitive pressures or perceived opportunities, such as investment, acquisition, marketing, and development activities.
Previous wording
If we experience operating difficulties or other factors, many of which may be beyond our control, that cause our revenue or cash flow from operations, if any, to decrease, we may be limited in our ability to spend the capital necessary to complete our development, marketing, and growth programs. Additional financing, if required, might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures may be significantly limited. In such a capital restricted situation, we could be compelled to curtail our marketing, development, and operational activities or be forced to sell some of our assets on an untimely or unfavorable basis.

Our internal controls over financial reporting may have weaknesses and conditions that could require correction or remediation, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of the Common Stock. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely affect our public disclosure regarding our business, prospects, financial condition, or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or any disclosure of management’s critical assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of the Common Stock.

Our former independent auditor, OOC, has been charged by the SEC in connection with allegedly aiding and abetting violations of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. The SEC also charged OOC’s principal, Olayinka Oyebola, with allegedly aiding and abetting his client’s violation of lying to auditors. The SEC complaint seeks civil penalties as well as permanent injunctive relief, including an order permanently barring Olayinka Oyebola and OOC from acting as auditors or accountants for U.S. public companies or otherwise providing substantial assistance in the preparation of financial statements filed with the SEC. This action could affect the credibility of the financial statements audited by OOC. If their audit work is found to be deficient, our financial reporting could be questioned, leading to potential restatements, delays in regulatory filings, or reputational harm. If OOC is barred from acting as auditors or accountants for U.S. public companies, we will be unable to include the financial statements reviewed by OOC in any filing made after that date, and our financial statements will need to be reaudited. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and stock price, which could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment.

Previous wording
Neither our current auditor, B&A, nor our former auditor, OOC, is headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong. Nevertheless, should B&A or OOC in the future have any work papers in China or Hong Kong that the PCAOB is unable to fully inspect, it will be difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of B&A or OOC’s audit procedures or equity control procedures, and investors could consequently lose confidence in our reported financial information and procedures or the quality of our financial statements, which could adversely affect us and our securities. Furthermore, if trading in our securities is prohibited under the HFCAA in the future because the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate B&A at such future time, an exchange will likely delist our securities.
