Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Motorsport Games Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTE 1 -BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, AND RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Organization and Operations
Motorsport Gaming US LLC (“Motorsport Gaming”) was established as a limited liability company on August 2, 2018 under the laws of the State of Florida. On January 8, 2021, Motorsport Gaming converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to a statutory conversion and changed its name to Motorsport Games Inc. (“Motorsport Games” or the “Company”). Upon effecting the corporate conversion on January 8, 2021, Motorsport Games now holds all the property and assets of Motorsport Gaming, and all of the debts and obligations of Motorsport Gaming were assumed by Motorsport Games by operation of law upon such corporate conversion.
Risks and Uncertainties
Liquidity and Going Concern
The Company generated net income of $1.0 million and positive cash flows from operations of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $90.7 million, working capital deficit of $1.9 million, and cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million, which increased to $3.1 million as of April 30, 2025. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to $2.35 million in net proceeds from a private placement of the Company’s Class A common stock and issuance of a pre-funded warrant, which closed on April 11, 2025.
The Company generated an average positive cash flow from operations of approximately $0.1 million per month for the three months ended March 31, 2025 that was primarily due to a gain from the Innovate Settlement Agreement entered on March 27, 2025. Whileit has taken, and continues to take, measures to reduce its costs, the Company expects to have a net cash outflow from operations for the foreseeable future as it continues to develop its product portfolio and invest in developing new video game titles.
The Company’s future liquidity and capital requirements include funds to support the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital, support the development and introduction of new products, maintain existing titles, and certain capital expenditures.
In order to address its liquidity shortfall, the Company continues to explore several options, including, but not limited to: i) additional funding in the form of potential equity and/or debt financing arrangements or similar transactions (collectively, “Capital Financing”); ii) other strategic alternatives for its business, including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of the Company’s assets; and iii) cost reduction and restructuring initiatives, each of which is described more fully below.
On October 3, 2024, the Company implemented additional measures intended to continue to bring down its year-over-year operating expense through a reduction of the Company’s workforce primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom by approximately 23 employees and contractors. The workforce reduction impacted approximately 23 individuals or 38% of the Company’s employees worldwide. The Company recorded a restructuring charge related to the workforce reduction, primarily consisting of severance and redundancy costs of approximately $0.2 million. The Company recognized and paid out the majority of the restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024.
On July 29, 2024, the Company completed the July 2024 Offerings (as defined below), a registered direct offering and concurrent private placement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acting as the exclusive placement agent, which offerings raised approximately $1.0 million in gross proceeds before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.
On April 11, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with several institutional and accredited investors for the issuance and sale in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) of the following securities for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million: (i)1,894,892 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Class A Common Stock”) and (ii) a pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”) to purchase up to 377,836 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The purchase price for one share of Class A Common Stock was $1.10 and the purchase price for one pre-funded warrant was $1.0999 per share, representing a premium of approximately 33% to the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock as of April 10, 2025. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $2.35 million from the Private Placement, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds received from the Private Placement primarily for working capital and general corporate expenses and other strategic initiatives approved by the Company’s board of directors.
Due to the continuing uncertainty surrounding the Company’s ability to raise funding in the form of potential Capital Financing, and in light of its liquidity position and anticipated future funding requirements, the Company continues to explore other strategic alternatives and potential options for its business, including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of certain of the Company’s assets in addition to the past sales of its NASCAR License and Traxion.
If any such additional strategic alternative is executed, it is expected it would help to improve the Company’s working capital position and reduce overhead expenditures, thereby lowering the Company’s expected future cash-burn, and provide some short-term liquidity relief. Nonetheless, even if the Company is successful in implementing one or more additional strategic alternatives, the Company will continue to require additional funding and/or further cost reduction measures in order to continue operations, which includes further restructuring of its business and operations. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in implementing any additional strategic plans for the sale or licensing of its assets, or any other strategic alternative, which may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions beyond the Company’s control.
As the Company continues to address its liquidity constraints, the Company may need to make further adjustments to its product roadmap in order to reduce operating cash burn. Additionally, the Company continues to seek toimprove its liquidity through maintaining and enhancing cost control initiatives. The Company plans to continue evaluating the structure of its business for additional changes in order to improve both its near-term and long-term liquidity position, as well as create a healthy and sustainable Company from which to operate.
There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to take any of the actions referred to above because of a variety of commercial or market factors, including, without limitation, market conditions being unfavorable for an equity or debt issuance or similar transactions, loans not being available from third parties, or that the transactions may not be permitted under the terms of the Company’s various debt instruments then in effect, such as due to restrictions on the incurrence of debt, incurrence of liens, asset dispositions and related party transactions. In addition, such actions, if taken, may not enable the Company to satisfy its capital requirements if the actions that the Company is able to consummate do not generate a sufficient amount of additional capital.
Even if the Company does secure additional Capital Financing, if the anticipated level of revenues are not achieved because of, for example, decreased sales of the Company’s products due to the disposition of key assets, such as the sale of its NASCAR License and/or the Company’s inability to deliver new products for its various other licenses; less than anticipated consumer acceptance of the Company’s offering of products and events; less than effective marketing and promotion campaigns, decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the overall electronic games category; adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates; decreased sales of the Company’s products and events as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company’s competitors; changes in consumer purchasing habits, such as the impact of higher energy prices on consumer purchasing behavior; less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for marketing, advertising and promotions, product returns or price protection expenditures, exceed the anticipated level of expenses, the Company’s liquidity position may continue to be insufficient to satisfy its future capital requirements. If the Company is ultimately unable to satisfy its capital requirements, it would likely need to dissolve and liquidate its assets under the bankruptcy laws or otherwise.
If the Company is unable to satisfy its capital requirements, it could be required to adopt one or more of the following alternatives:
| ● | delaying the implementation of or revising certain aspects of the Company’s business strategy; |
| ● | further reducing or delaying the development and launch of new products and events; |
| ● | further reducing or delaying capital spending, product development spending and marketing and promotional spending; |
| ● ● | selling additional assets or operations; seeking additional loans from third parties; |
| ● | further reducing other discretionary spending; |
| ● | entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms; and/or |
| ● | significantly curtailing or discontinuing operations. |
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40,Going Concern, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The factors described above, in particular the lack of available cash on hand to fund operations over the next year, have raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
NOTE 2 –BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2025 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the years then ended which are included in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
The Company’s significant estimates used in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition criteria, offering periods for deferred net revenue, valuation allowance of deferred income taxes, and stock-based compensation valuation. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and may cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the prior year’s net loss.
Correction of an Immaterial Error in Previously Issued Financial Statements
The Company has revised the presentation of net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest in the joint venture with Automobile Club de l’Ouest discussed in Note 9 –Commitments and Contingencies, to correct an immaterial error in the presentation of the non-controlling interest. This increased net loss per Class A common share attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $0.01 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
In addition, the Company has revised the statement of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to revise the presentation of net cash used in operating activities to include a loss on foreign currency exchange rates that was previously included in the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents and other foreign currency-related adjustments to the changes in working capital. As a result, net cash used in operating activities and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time as the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election.
On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280), which was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) on November 27, 2023. The new guidance improves reportable segment disclosures primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and by requiring current annual disclosures to be provided in interim periods. The new guidance is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented unless impracticable to do so. As the guidance requires only additional disclosure, there are no effects of this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. This adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, as included in the 2024 Form 10-K.
NOTE 3 –INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Licensing Agreements
In March 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to facilitate the Le Mans Esports Series as part of a joint venture with Automobile Club de l’Ouest (“ACO”), the organizer of the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. Through the Company’s ownership interest in this joint venture, which was increased to 51% from 45% in January 2021, the Company secured the rights to be the exclusive video game developer and publisher for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race and the FIA World Endurance Championship (the “WEC”), which the 24 Hours of Le Mans race is a part of, for a ten-year period. In addition, through this joint venture with ACO, the Company has the right to create and organize esports leagues and events for the Le Mans Esports Series.

In 2021, the Company also acquired intangible assets comprising the KartKraft computer video game as well as software, tradename and non-compete agreements related to its acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Studio397 B.V.
In October 2023, the Company sold its NASCAR License to iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations, LLC (“iRacing”). As consideration for such sale and assignment of the NASCAR License and all rights related thereto (“the Assignment”), iRacing paid the Company $5.0 million at closing of the transactions contemplated by the Assignment. In addition, iRacing was obligated under the Assignment to pay the Company an additional (i) $0.5 million payable on the date that is 6 months following such closing and (ii) $0.5 million on the earlier of such date when all NASCAR Games have been removed by the Company from the websites, smart phone applications or other digital portal engaging in sales or providing access to the NASCAR Games, including without limitation Xbox, PlayStation and Switch and all other domain names, web addresses and websites used by the Company in the its business (collectively, the “Business Platforms”), or December 31, 2024, provided that all NASCAR Games have been removed by the Company from the Business Platforms; and in any event no earlier than such date that is one (1) year following the closing of the Assignment. In accordance with this sale, the Company recognized a gain of $0.5 million and $3.0 million, which are included in other operating income on the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, iRacing had paid the full $6.0 million due to the Company under the Terms of the Assignment.

Revenue recognized in the period from amounts included in contract liability at the beginning of the period was approximately $0.3 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
NOTE 5 –RELATED PARTY LOANS
The Company has a $12 million line of credit with its majority shareholder, Driven Lifestyle (the “$12 million Line of Credit”), which bears interest at an annual rate of 10%, the availability of which is dependent on Driven Lifestyle’s available liquidity. The $12 million Line of Credit does not have a stated maturity date and is payable upon demand at any time at the sole and absolute discretion of Driven Lifestyle, and any principal and accrued interest owed will be accelerated and become immediately payable in the event the Company consummates certain corporate events, such as a capital reorganization. The Company may repay the $12 million Line of Credit in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without penalty or charge.
On September 8, 2022, the Company entered into a support agreement with Driven Lifestyle (the “Support Agreement”) pursuant to which Driven Lifestyle issued approximately $3 million (the “September 2022 Cash Advance”) to the Company in accordance with the $12 million Line of Credit. Additionally, the Support Agreement modified the $12 million Line of Credit such that, among other things, until June 30, 2024, Driven Lifestyle would not demand repayment of the September 2022 Cash Advance or other advances under the $12 million Line of Credit, unless certain events occurred, as prescribed in the Support Agreement, such as the completion of a new financing arrangement or the Company generates positive cash flows from operations, among others. All principal and accrued interest owed on the $12 million Line of Credit were exchanged for equity following the completion of two debt-for-equity exchange agreements with Driven Lifestyle on January 30, 2023 and February 1, 2023, relieving the Company of approximately $3.9 million in owed principal and unpaid interest in exchange for an aggregate of 780,385 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.
As of March 31, 2025, the $12 million Line of Credit remains in place. However, the Company believes that there is a substantial likelihood that Driven Lifestyle will not fulfill any future borrowing requests, and therefore does not view the $12 million Line of Credit as a viable source for future liquidity needs.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there wasno balance due to Driven Lifestyle under the $12 million Line of Credit.
NOTE 6 –RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In addition to the $12 million Line of Credit, the Company had other related party receivables and payables outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Specifically, the Company owed approximately $13,000 and $26,000 to its related parties as a related party payable as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately $0.1 million was paid to related parties in settlement of related party payables. The Company’s corporate headquarters, located in Miami, Florida and consisting of approximately 2,000 square feet of office space, are owned by Driven Lifestyle.
On May 3, 2024 (but effective as of October 1, 2023), the Company entered into a new lease agreement with Lemon City Group, LLC, an entity controlled by Driven Lifestyle, for approximately 800 square feet of storage space located in Miami, Florida. The term of the lease was initially nine months, with a commencement date of October 1, 2023, consistent with the Company’s initial date of occupancy, and expiring on June 30, 2024, terminable with a 60-day written notice with no penalty. The base rent from the lease commencement date through June 30, 2024 was fixed at approximately $1,800 per month. The Company extended the lease for five additional months at the same terms through November 30, 2024.
Backoffice Services Agreement
On March 23, 2023 (but effective as of January 1, 2023), the Company entered into a new Backoffice Services Agreement with Driven Lifestyle (the “Backoffice Services Agreement”) following the expiration of the Company’s prior services agreement with Driven Lifestyle. Pursuant to the Backoffice Services Agreement, Driven Lifestyle will provide accounting, payroll and benefits, human resources and other back-office services on a full-time basis to support the Company’s business functions. The term of the Backoffice Services Agreement is 12 months from the effective date. The term will automatically renew for successive 12-month terms unless either party provides written notice of nonrenewal at least 30 days prior to the end of the then current term. The Backoffice Services Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time with 60 days prior notice. Pursuant to the Backoffice Services Agreement, the Company is required to pay a monthly fee to Driven Lifestyle of $17,500.
On August 8, 2024 (but effective as of July 1, 2024), the Company amended its Backoffice Services Agreement with Driven Lifestyle (the “Amended Backoffice Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended Backoffice Services Agreement, Driven Lifestyle will provide office space, accounting, payroll and benefits, human resources and other back-office services on a full-time basis to support the Company’s business functions. The term of the Amended Backoffice Services Agreement is 12 months from the effective date. The term will automatically renew for successive 12-month terms unless either party provides written notice of nonrenewal at least 30 days prior to the end of the then current term. The Amended Backoffice Services Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time with 60 days prior notice. Pursuant to the Amended Backoffice Services Agreement, the Company is required to pay a monthly fee to Driven Lifestyle of $12,500.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the Company incurred $37,500 and $52,500, respectively, in fees in connection with the Backoffice Services Agreement, which is presented in general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Holders of Class A and Class B common stock are entitled to one-vote and ten-votes, respectively, for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.
704Games Warrants
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 704Games LLC (“704Games”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorsport Games Inc., has outstanding 10-year warrants to purchase 4,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $93.03 per share that were issued on October 2, 2015.

Registered Direct Offerings and the Wainwright Warrants
On February 1, February 2 and February 3, 2023, the Company completed three separate registered direct offerings (the “Offerings”) priced at-market under Nasdaq rules with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acting as the exclusive placement agent for each transaction (the “Agent”). In connection with the Offerings, the Company paid the Agent a transaction fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each offering, non-accountable expenses and certain other closing fees. In addition, the Company granted warrants to the Agent (or its designees) to purchase shares of the Company’s Class Acommon stock equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock placed in each Offering(collectively, the “Wainwright Warrants”). The Offerings are summarized as follows:
| Offering Date · Shares Issued · Gross Proceeds · Net Proceeds · WainwrightWarrantsIssued · Warrant Strike Price · Warrant Term | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Registered direct offering 1 | February 1, 2023 | 183,020 | $ | 3.9 million | $ | 3.6 million | 10,981 | $26.75 | 5 years |
| Registered direct offering 2 | February 2, 2023 | 144,366 | $ | 3.4 million | $ | 3.1 million | 8,662 | $29.38 | 5 years |
| Registered direct offering 3 | February 3, 2023 | 232,188 | $ | 4.0 million | $ | 3.7 million | 13,931 | $21.74 | 5 years |
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Wainwright Warrants were assessed to have a fair value of approximately $2,000 and $4,000, respectively, and deemed to be liability-classified awards, which were recorded within other non-current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company utilized a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair value of the Wainwright Warrants. The Black-Scholes model requires management to make a number of key assumptions, including expected volatility, expected term, and risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is estimated using the rate of return on U.S. treasury notes with a life that approximates the expected term. The expected term assumption used in the Black-Scholes model represents the period of time that the Wainwright Warrants areexpected to be outstanding and is estimated using the contractual term of the Wainwright Warrants.
July 2024 Securities Purchase Agreement
On July 26, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors.

NOTE 9 –COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, except as otherwise disclosed below. In light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular period. Litigation or other legal proceedings, with or without merit, is unpredictable and generally expensive and time consuming and, even if resolved in the Company’s favor, is likely to divert significant resources from the Company’s core business, including distracting its management personnel from their normal responsibilities.
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. The Company recognizes legal costs associated with loss contingencies in the period incurred.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
On February 11, 2021, HC2 Holdings 2 Inc. (now known as Innovate 2) (“Innovate”) and Continental General Insurance Company (“Continental”), former minority stockholders of 704Games, filed a complaint (the “HC2 and Continental Complaint”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against the Company, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, and the manager of Driven Lifestyle. The complaint was later amended and added Leo Capital Holdings LLC (“Leo Capital”) as an additional plaintiff and the controller of Driven Lifestyle as an additional individual defendant. The complaint alleges, among other things, purported misrepresentations and omissions concerning 704Games’ financial condition made in connection with the Company’s purchase of these minority shareholders’ interest in 704Games in August and October 2020. The complaint asserts claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act; Section 20A of the Exchange Act; breach of the Company’s obligations under the Stockholders’ Agreement dated August 14, 2018; fraudulent inducement; breach of fiduciary duties; and unjust enrichment. The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, damages from the defendants, jointly and severally, based on the alleged difference between the fair market value of the shares of common stock of 704Games on the date of plaintiffs’ sale and the purchase price that was paid, as well as punitive damages and other relief. In May 2021, the Company, along with the other defendants, filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ complaint. On March 28, 2022, the court entered an order denying the motion to dismiss.
On January 11, 2023, in connection with the HC2 and Continental Complaint, the Company, along with other defendants, entered into a settlement agreement with one of the plaintiffs, Continental, to settle the claims made by Continental against the defendants and the claims made by the defendants against Continental. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company was obligated to pay the sum of $1.1 million to Continental. The Company paid an initial payment of approximately $0.1 million on January 17, 2023, and was obligated to make payments of no less than approximately $40,000 every 30 days after the initial payment date until the settlement amount of $1.1 million was paid in full. As of March 31, 2025, all required payments under the settlement agreement with Continental have been made in full.
On October 14, 2023, the Company, along with other defendants, reached and executed a settlement agreement with Leo Capital in connection with the HC2 and Continental Complaint, which settles the claims made by Leo Capital against the defendants, as well as the claims made by the defendants against Leo Capital. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company was obligated to pay the sum of $0.2 million to Leo Capital. The Company paid the full $0.2 million settlement on October 16, 2023, as required by terms of the settlement agreement.
In respect of Innovate, on February 26, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) granted the summary judgment motion filed by the Company and the other defendants, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, and the Manager of Driven Lifestyle Group LLC., in the case titled Innovate 2 Corp., Motorsport Games Inc., et al., No. 1:21-cv-165-SB. The judgment entered by the Court held in favor of the Company and the other defendants on all counts and also granted the Company summary judgment against Innovate on the Company’s claim for breach of the stock purchase agreement entered into between the parties. Pursuant to the Court order, the parties submitted a joint status report on March 12, 2025 regarding the remaining issues in the case, including Motorsport’s damages on its counterclaim. On March 27, 2025, the Company entered in a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) regarding the HC2 and Continental Complaint and in which the Company asserted a breach of contract counterclaim against Innovate seeking damages for the Company’s attorneys’ fees and costs. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Innovate has agreed to pay the Company Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), of which $300,000 was paid on March 31, 2025 (“Initial Payment”), $100,000 shall be paid on August 15, 2025 and $100,000 shall be paid on October 31, 2025. The Settlement Agreement provides that the parties caused all of their claims in the Action to be dismissed with prejudice within three (3) business days after receipt of the Initial Payment. The $500,000 gain from the Settlement Agreement is recorded as other operating income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining $200,000 payment expected from Innovate under the Settlement Agreement is recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
On July 28, 2023, Wesco Insurance Company (“Wesco”) filed a complaint in state court in Florida against the Company, as well as the other defendants involved in the litigation related to the HC2 and Continental Complaint (the “Underlying Action”). The Company had previously submitted the Underlying Action for coverage under a management liability policy issued by Hallmark Specialty Insurance Company (“Hallmark”) and an excess policy with Wesco (the “Wesco Policy”). Wesco’s complaint seeks declaratory relief to determine Wesco’s obligations to the defendants under an excess policy of insurance issued to the Company by Wesco for the Underlying Action. Wesco claims that there is no coverage afforded to the defendants for the Underlying Action under the Wesco Policy. The Company disagrees with and disputes Wesco’s position regarding coverage for the Underlying Action under the Wesco Policy and is defending its position.
On November 22, 2023, the Company entered into an insurance policy and claims release with Hallmark (the “Hallmark Settlement”) related to a previously submitted Underlying Action for coverage under a management liability policy issued by Hallmark. Under the terms of the Hallmark Settlement, Hallmark agreed to pay $1.75 million, which was fully paid by Hallmark within 30 days of execution of the Hallmark Settlement.
Commitments
On January 25, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Le Mans Amendment”) to the Le Mans Esports Series Ltd joint venture agreement, which resulted in an increase of the Company’s ownership interest in the Le Mans Esports Series Ltd joint venture from 45% to 51%. Additionally, through certain multi-year licensing agreements that were entered into in connection with the Le Mans Amendment, the Company secured the rights to be the exclusive video game developer and publisher for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race and the WEC, as well as the rights to create and organize esports leagues and events for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, the WEC and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual event.

The Company is obligated to pay ACO an annual royalty payment beginning from the time of the launch of the first video game product and continuing through each anniversary thereof for the term of the license.

Purchase Commitment Liabilities
On April 20, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the share capital of Studio 397 B.V. (“Studio397”) from Luminis International B.V. and Technology In Business B.V. (collectively, the “Sellers”). The purchase price originally consisted of (i) $12.8 million paid at closing and (ii) $3.2 million payable April 2022 on the first anniversary of closing, as deferred consideration (the “Deferred Payment”). On April 22, 2022 and July 21, 2022, the Company entered into certain letter agreements with the Sellers pursuant to which, among other things, the Deferred Payment installment amount due to be paid by the Company on the first anniversary of closing was reduced from $3.2 million to $1 million with the remaining $2.2 million to be settled in installments of: $330,000 to be paid on July 31, 2022; for the period August 15, 2022, through December 15, 2022 monthly installments of $100,000 and for the period beginning on January 15, 2023, monthly installments of $150,000 until the remaining Deferred Payment amount is satisfied. The letter agreements also call for 15% interest on the Deferred Payment balance effective on July 19, 2022. As security for payment of the amounts owed, we pledged 20% of the share capital of Studio397 (the “Pledged Shares”) to the Sellers. The terms of the sale provide that, in the event the Company fails to make any payment due subsequent to the closing, the Sellers would become entitled to exercise the voting rights and receive any dividends or distributions associated with the Pledged Shares.

Upon receipt of the entire Settlement Payment by the Sellers, all amounts owed by the Company under the Studio397 Purchase Agreement, including the Deferred Payments, shall be deemed to have been paid and settled in full and the Sellers shall release their security interest in the pledged stock of Studio397. If the Company fails to make any Settlement Payment when due and the breach is not cured within five (5) days of receipt of written notice thereof, the Agreement may be terminated by the Sellers. The remaining balance of the Deferred payment as of March 31, 2025 was $0.6 million, which is recorded as purchase commitments on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 11 –SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company’s principal operating segments coincide with the types of products and services to be sold. The products and services from which revenues are derived are consistent with the reporting structure of the Company’s internal organization. The Company’stwo reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were (i) the development and publishing of interactive racing video games, entertainment content and services (the “Gaming segment”); and (ii) the organization and facilitation of esports tournaments, competitions and events for the Company’s licensed racing games as well as on behalf of third-party video game racing series and other video game publishers (the “esports segment”). The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Segment information is presented based upon the Company’s management organization structure as of March 31, 2025 and the distinctive nature of each segment. Future changes to this internal financial structure may result in changes to the reportable segments disclosed. There are no inter-segment revenue transactions and, therefore, revenues are only to external customers. As the Company primarily generates its revenues from customers in the United States, no geographical segments are presented.
Segment operating profit is determined based upon internal performance measures used by the CODM. The Company derives the segment results from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies the Company uses to derive reportable segment results are the same as those used for external reporting purposes. Management measures the performance of each reportable segment based upon several metrics, including net revenues, gross profit and operating loss. Management uses these results to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the reportable segments. The Company manages certain operating expenses separately at the corporate level and does not allocate such expenses to the segments. Segment income from operations excludes interest income/expense and other income or expenses and income taxes according to how a particular reportable segment’s management is measured. Management does not consider impairment charges, and unallocated costs in measuring the performance of the reportable segments.
