Overview of the Company
Super League (Nasdaq: SLE) is an audience intelligence and media activation company operating at the intersection of a 3.3-billion-person global gaming population (Source: Exploding Topics, January 2026) and a $1.0 trillion global advertising market (Source: Dentsu Global, December 2025). The Company connects brands with consumers who play video games by leveraging an emerging data and activation platform that utilizes behavioral and psychographic signals to drive marketing outcomes. By combining differentiated insights, scaled media distribution, and interactive ad formats, Super League enables marketers to reach gamers, one of the largest and most influential audiences in modern culture, across gaming environments, digital video, social media, and connected television.
The Company’s operations are organized into three functional areas designed to operate as a connected growth engine.
|
● |
Product and Data Platform: The Product and Data Platform team focuses on (i) delivering scalable, productized solutions with reusable components that drive execution efficiency across branded programs and (ii) developing a data platform that provides insights into the preferences, behaviors, and motivations of key audience segments within the gaming ecosystem. |
|
● |
Advertising and Marketing Solutions: The Advertising and Marketing Solutions team manages programs designed to achieve client objectives. These programs incorporate proprietary solutions and third-party capabilities, including playable ads, rewarded video, immersive mini-games, in-game ads, interactive characters, brand lift studies, and creator-led amplification. Super League distributes campaigns across major gaming platforms as well as leading digital and social media channels. |
|
● |
Strategic Properties: The Strategic Properties function consists of partnerships and ownership interests in select gaming properties that provide access to advertising inventory and consumer gameplay data. |
Super League’s capabilities enable brands to differentiate culturally, build affinity, and drive measurable results in an attention-driven media environment.
The Company generates revenue from brands and agencies by executing programs targeting U.S. audiences that include (i) mini-games and experiences within Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite, (ii) playable and rewarded video ads in mobile and immersive environments, (iii) in-game ads within mobile, immersive and PC game titles, (iv) branded connected TV games and sponsorships of connected TV gaming applications, (v) custom integrations within video games across platforms, (vi) interactive characters, and (vii) influencer content across social and digital video platforms. An additional emerging revenue source includes participation in revenue generated by select game properties.
Super League was incorporated on October 1, 2014 as Nth Games, Inc. under Delaware law and subsequently changed its name to Super League Gaming, Inc. on June 15, 2015 and to Super League Enterprise, Inc. on September 11, 2023. The Company operates as a single reportable segment consistent with how management evaluates performance.
Business Strategy
Super League’s strategy is centered on driving revenue growth, expanding margins, and establishing a leadership position in helping brands reach consumers who play video games. In the United States, 80% of consumers play video games (Source: Newzoo Global Gamer Study, 2024), underscoring the scale and relevance of this audience. The Company is building a differentiated platform that combines audience intelligence, scalable media activation, and interactive formats to improve marketing outcomes across gaming and digital environments.
Audience-Centric Approach to a Mass Market
Super League’s strategy is grounded in the belief that gamers represent one of the largest and most influential audiences in modern media. The Company approaches this audience as a behavioral segment rather than a channel, defined by how individuals engage with content and make decisions.
Gameplay provides a unique window into consumer behavior. Individuals actively make choices, pursue goals, and engage in ways that reflect underlying motivations. Super League translates these behavioral and psychographic signals into insights that inform how brands design and deliver campaigns.
Driving Revenue Growth Through Expanded Media Activation
Super League generates revenue by executing programs across video games, social, digital video, web and connected television platforms. A key priority is expanding the scale and efficiency of its media activation capabilities.
Historically, revenue has been driven by custom programs combining creative development, media distribution, and influencer participation. While these remain important, the Company is increasing its focus on media-based solutions, including playable ads, rewarded video, and in-game advertising.
Shifting toward media programs is expected to improve scalability, increase predictability, and enable higher campaign volume across standardized formats.
Expanding Margins Through Productization and Operating Leverage
Super League is focused on improving margins through productization and operating leverage.
The Company has developed reusable frameworks, including interactive formats, content templates, and measurement tools, that can be deployed across campaigns. This approach enables customization for clients but with reusable assets and repeatable processes, reducing development time and cost.
The continued growth of media-based programs is expected to further improve efficiency and margin performance.
Building a Differentiated Data and Intelligence Layer
Super League is investing in a data and intelligence layer to enhance its ability to understand and influence consumer behavior.
The Company aggregates gameplay activity, campaign performance data, and partner inputs to generate insights into audience preferences and motivations. These insights are applied across planning, creative development, targeting, and optimization.
Over time, expanding data assets are expected to improve effectiveness, increase client retention, expand revenue opportunities, and support more efficient media allocation on behalf of brand and agency clients.
Expanding Access Through Partnerships and Strategic Acquisitions
Super League pursues partnerships and acquisitions to expand capabilities, enhance data and audience intelligence, and increase access to media inventory and distribution.
The Company evaluates and pursues opportunities that can:
|
● |
Expand access to scaled or differentiated inventory; |
|
● |
Deepen data and insight capabilities; |
|
● |
Enhance cross-platform execution; |
|
● |
Improve scalability and margin profile. |
These efforts are intended to broaden reach, diversify revenue, and strengthen the Company’s position in a complex media landscape.
Establishing a Scalable Platform for Long-Term Growth
Super League’s long-term objective is to build a scalable platform integrating audience intelligence, cross-channel media activation, and optimized distribution of advertising formats designed for gamers.
The strategy is being built to create a reinforcing, repeatable cycle:
|
● |
Data and insights secure increasing volume of campaigns; |
|
● |
Improved targeting and distribution drives superior campaign performance; |
|
● |
Premium results drive increased client spend and expand sources of revenue; |
|
● |
Increased volume and campaign execution expands data and capabilities. |
This model is intended to support sustained revenue growth, margin expansion, and increasing competitive differentiation.

Industry Overview
The global advertising industry is expected to exceed $1.0 trillion annually in 2026, with approximately $360 billion in U.S. digital advertising, inclusive of spend across video, social, and connected television. As media consumption fragments, advertisers seek more efficient and effective ways to reach consumers.
Video gaming has emerged as one of the largest forms of engagement globally, with an estimated 3.3 billion players worldwide and more than 200 million in the United States (Source: The Entertainment Software Association, 2025). Gaming is no longer a niche activity, but rather a mass-market behavior that spans demographic segments and age groups, particularly among younger consumers. Industry data indicates that approximately 90% of individuals under the age of 45 in the United States play video games, with participation rates reaching over 92% among Generation Z and 96% for Generation Alpha. (Source: Newzoo Global Gamer Study, 2024)
A gap has emerged between time spent and advertising allocation. U.S. consumers spend approximately 13.9 hours per week watching television, 13.1 hours on social media, and 11.8 hours gaming, while advertising spend is disproportionately weighted toward television and social relative to gaming (Source: Newzoo Consumer Research, 2022). U.S. advertising expenditures total approximately $67.6 billion for television and $65.3 billion for social media, compared to approximately $8.6 billion for gaming (Source: eMarketer, 2022). This misalignment presents an opportunity for advertisers to better align investment with attention.
Gaming, social, and digital video continue to converge, with gaming environments serving as interactive, community-driven spaces. This reflects a broader shift in consumer behavior from passive consumption to active participation in content experiences.
Gaming also represents a behavioral layer across media. Individuals who play video games are active across digital video, social media, and connected television, and their behaviors influence engagement across these channels and more. Insights derived from gaming behavior can therefore improve advertising effectiveness across media.
Companies that can translate these insights into actionable marketing strategies are positioned to help advertisers align investment with engagement. Super League focuses on enabling brands to identify and reach these audiences with superior data-driven intelligence and resulting premium performance against client-stated advertising objectives.
The combination of large-scale audience participation, high levels of engagement, and evolving consumer behavior presents a significant opportunity for companies operating at the intersection of gaming and digital advertising. At the same time, the continued evolution of digital media, advertising technologies, and platform ecosystems introduces complexity and competition, requiring advertisers to adopt more sophisticated approaches to audience targeting, creative development, and performance measurement.
Competitive Landscape
The markets for interactive advertising, playable media, and gamified brand experiences are highly competitive and rapidly evolving. The Company competes with a broad range of participants across several categories, including advertising technology platforms, in-game advertising networks, gaming media and monetization platforms, gaming platform operators, creative studios, and digital media agencies. Many of these competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing, or distribution resources than the Company. Competition is based on factors including technological capabilities, platform access, creativity, scalability of campaigns, analytics and measurement capabilities, brand relationships, and the ability to deliver measurable advertising performance.
The Company’s approach is differentiated by its focus on an audience-centric strategy and cross-platform execution rather than reliance on any single media channel, platform, or inventory source.
Advertising Technology and Playable Media Platforms
The Company competes with a variety of advertising technology platforms that deliver interactive advertising, playable ads, and programmatic ad distribution across mobile and digital media environments. These include large advertising technology providers such as AppLovin Corporation and Unity Technologies, which offer mobile gaming advertising networks and tools for delivering playable and rewarded ads within mobile games and applications. Platforms such as these connect advertisers with large developer ecosystems and provide machine-learning driven ad targeting, campaign optimization, and analytics capabilities.
The Company also competes with other in-game advertising technology providers including firms such as Anzu Virtual Reality Ltd., Bidstack Group plc, AdInMo Ltd., and Frameplay Pty Ltd., which provide tools for inserting advertising into digital gaming environments. These providers focus primarily on ad inventory monetization and in-game advertising placement rather than the creation of custom branded gaming experiences. In certain instances, Super League partners with such firms by including their inventory as part of a multi-faceted advertising program for a Super League brand client.
While these platforms provide scaled access to advertising inventory and advanced targeting capabilities, they are generally oriented around specific networks or supply sources. In contrast, the Company’s approach is designed to be platform-agnostic and audience oriented, enabling it to develop and execute campaigns across multiple environments based on client objectives rather than being tied to a single inventory source.
Gaming Media and Monetization Platforms
The Company also competes with gaming-focused media and monetization platforms such as Overwolf Ltd. and Playwire LLC, which provide advertising solutions, content distribution, and monetization tools within web and gaming environments. These platforms often aggregate gaming and digital audiences and enable brands to reach users through specific ecosystems, media properties, or publisher networks.
Gaming Platform Operators
The Company’s solutions are designed to operate within or alongside major gaming ecosystems that serve as distribution channels for branded content and immersive advertising experiences. Major gaming platforms include Roblox, Fortnite, and Minecraft, which often provide tools that allow developers and brands to create interactive virtual experiences and branded environments for users.
These platform providers may compete with the Company directly by offering their own native advertising products, development tools, and monetization frameworks that enable brands to build experiences directly within their ecosystems. For example, Roblox has expanded its advertising platform to enable brands to distribute advertising, build immersive marketing experiences and measure campaign performance directly within the Roblox environment.
In addition, platform owners such as Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, provide tools, services and infrastructure for immersive experiences and branded content that allow advertisers and creators to engage users within the game environment through collaborations, in-game items, and branded events.
Creative Development Studios and Gaming Content Agencies
The Company also competes with independent creative studios and development firms that specialize in building branded experiences within gaming platforms and within existing popular games on such platforms. These include studios that develop custom brand activations and gamified experiences for brands seeking to reach audiences of gamers. These studios typically compete on creative capabilities, platform expertise, and relationships with brand marketers.
Some studios focus specifically on developing branded experiences within platforms such as Roblox and Fortnite for global brands seeking immersive digital campaigns. These companies often operate as contract development partners to brands or agencies and may compete with the Company for project-based development engagements.
Digital Advertising Agencies
The Company also competes with traditional and digital advertising agencies that provide campaign strategy, creative services, and media buying for brands. Large global agencies including WPP plc, Publicis Groupe S.A., Omnicom Group Inc., and Dentsu Group Inc. manage substantial marketing budgets for major global brands and often determine the allocation of advertising spending across channels.
These agencies may compete with the Company by developing their own gaming marketing strategies, partnering with alternative technology providers, or internally producing immersive and interactive digital campaigns for their clients.
Competitive Factors
Key competitive factors in the Company’s industry include:
|
● |
The ability to create engaging and culturally relevant interactive experiences; |
|
● |
Access to major gaming platforms and creator communities; |
|
● |
Scalability of advertising technology and campaign distribution; |
|
● |
Data analytics and performance measurement capabilities; |
|
● |
Relationships with brand marketers and advertising agencies; |
|
● |
The ability to deliver measurable return on advertising spend; |
|
● |
The ability to understand and apply audience-level behavioral and psychographic insights across multiple media channels; |
|
● |
The ability to deliver both customized and scalable advertising solutions across diverse platforms and environments. |
The Company believes that its combination of audience-focused strategy, cross-platform execution capabilities, productized solutions, and network of creators enables it to compete effectively in this evolving market. However, the Company expects competition to continue to increase as brands allocate greater portions of their marketing budgets to interactive and gaming-related media channels.
Sales and Marketing
Super League generates revenue by delivering programs for brands and agencies seeking to reach consumers who play video games. Approximately 60% of revenue is derived through agency relationships and 40% through direct brand engagements.
Sales Approach
The Company utilizes a combination of direct sales efforts and agency partnerships to originate and execute business. The Company maintains a direct sales team responsible for developing relationships with brands and agencies, identifying opportunities, and structuring marketing programs aligned with client objectives.
Sales activity is driven by a mix of proactive outreach and participation in formal request-for-proposal (RFP) processes. The Company works closely with agency partners, including large global holding companies and independent agencies, which play a significant role in planning and allocating advertising budgets on behalf of brands.
Super League’s sales approach emphasizes its ability to help clients reach and influence audiences who play video games across multiple platforms and channels. By focusing on audience behavior rather than individual media channels, the Company positions its offerings as a way to improve marketing effectiveness wherever those consumers engage with content.
Program Structure
Super League delivers its solutions primarily through project-based engagements that fall into two general categories: custom programs and media programs.
Custom programs typically involve the development of tailored interactive experiences, branded content, and integrated campaigns that combine creative production, media distribution, and influencer or creator participation. Media programs focus on the deployment of advertising formats, including playable ads, rewarded video, and in-game advertising, across scaled digital inventory with greater standardization and repeatability. Historically, a majority of the Company’s revenue has been derived from custom programs. Super League is increasingly focused on expanding its media program offerings, which are designed to support higher levels of scalability, improved margin characteristics, and more predictable revenue streams over time.
Customer Relationships and Retention
Super League maintains ongoing relationships with a range of brands and agencies, many of which engage the Company across multiple campaigns. Repeat business represents a meaningful portion of total revenue, with over 50% of revenue generated from returning clients.
The Company seeks to grow these relationships by introducing unique audience insights that can expand the scope and breadth of engagements, and demonstrating the effectiveness of its data-driven approach. In addition to repeat engagements, Super League continues to pursue new client relationships through its sales efforts and industry presence.
Marketing Activities
Super League supports its sales efforts through a range of marketing activities designed to build awareness, establish credibility, and generate demand.
These activities include:
|
● |
Participation in industry events and conferences; |
|
● |
Development and distribution of case studies highlighting campaign performance; |
|
● |
Thought leadership and content shared through professional platforms such as LinkedIn; |
|

Ongoing relationship development with brands, agencies, and creators within the gaming and digital media ecosystem. |
Through these efforts, the Company seeks to position itself as a partner capable of helping brands understand and effectively engage consumers who play video games across a fragmented and evolving media landscape.
Intellectual Property and Patents
Similar to other interactive entertainment companies, our business depends on the creation, acquisition, licensing, use and protection of intellectual property. We have developed and own various intellectual properties, including pending and issued trademarks, patents, and copyrights.
As of the date of this Report, we have three issued patents and multiple trademark registrations covering our technologies and brands. Our issued patents relate to technologies that we are not presently utilizing as market opportunities relating thereto are de minimis. We do not presently intend to file additional patent applications and we are considering the merits of potentially licensing and/or selling our existing patents given none are core to our current business strategy and objectives.
To protect our intellectual property, we rely on a combination of patent applications, published and issued patents, copyrights, pending and issued trademarks, confidentiality provisions and procedures, other contractual provisions, trade secret laws, and restrictions on disclosure. We intend to vigorously protect our technology and proprietary rights; however, no assurances can be given that our efforts will be successful. Even if our efforts are successful, we may incur significant costs in defending our rights. From time to time, third parties may initiate litigation against us, alleging infringement of their proprietary rights or claiming they have not infringed our intellectual property rights. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” for additional information regarding the risks we face with respect to litigation related to intellectual property claims.

Seasonality
Our revenue may fluctuate quarterly and is historically higher in the second half of our fiscal year. Advertising spending is traditionally seasonally strong in the second half of each year, reflecting the impact of seasonal back to school and holiday season advertising spending by brands and advertisers. We believe that this seasonality in advertising spending affects our quarterly results, which generally reflect relatively higher advertising revenue in the second half of each year, compared to the first half of the year.
Employees and Labor Relations
As of December 31, 2025, we had 34 full-time and full-time equivalent employees. Additionally, we may enter into service agreements with independent contractors, on an as-needed basis, to perform certain services. As of December 31, 2025, three of our full-time employees were subject to fixed-term employment agreements with us, and all other employees served at-will pursuant to the terms set forth in their offer letters.
We believe that we maintain a good working relationship with our employees, and we have not experienced any labor disputes during the fiscal periods covered by this annual report. None of our employees are represented by labor unions.
Governmental Regulation
As a part of our experiences, our clients may offer prizes and/or gifts as incentives to play. We utilize third parties for all fulfillment activities associated therewith. The federal Deceptive Mail Prevention and Enforcement Act and certain state prize, gift or sweepstakes statutes may apply to certain experiences we run from time to time, and other federal and state consumer protection laws applicable to online collection, use and dissemination of data, and the presentation of website or other electronic content, may require us to comply with certain standards for notice, choice, security and access. We believe that we are in compliance with any applicable law or regulation when we run these experiences.
Cost of Compliance with Environmental Laws
We have not incurred any costs associated with compliance with environmental regulations, nor do we anticipate any future costs associated with environmental compliance; however, no assurances can be given that we will not incur such costs in the future.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
We have incurred significant losses since our inception, and we may continue to experience losses in the future.
The Company incurred net losses as disclosed in the accompanying statements of operations for the periods presented. As of December 31, 2025, including the impact of noncash stock compensation and intangible asset amortization, we had an accumulated deficit as disclosed in the accompanying balance sheet. We cannot predict if we will achieve profitability soon or at all. We have modified our approach to expenditures to better reflect our revenue and net revenue levels. Such ongoing expenditures are expected to include investments in, among other things:
|
● |
investments to expand and enhance our technology platform and technology infrastructure, make improvements to the scalability, availability and security of our platform, and develop new offerings; |
|
● |
expanding our customer acquisition and sales organization and marketing programs, and expanding our programs directed at increasing our brand awareness among current and new customers; |
|
● |
hiring additional employees; |
|
● |
expansion of our operations, both domestically and internationally; and |
|
● |
general administration, including legal, accounting and other costs related to being a public company. |
We may not generate sufficient revenue to offset such costs to achieve or sustain profitability in the future. We expect to continue to maintain a best-in-class operation and business development capability related to securing marketing and advertising brand and agency clients and delivering against their campaign objectives, to maintain as well as accelerate our market position, support anticipated future growth and to meet our expanded reporting and compliance obligations as a public company.
We intend to continue implementing our business strategy with the expectation that there will be no material adverse developments in our business, liquidity or capital requirements. If one or more of these factors do not occur as expected, it may have a material adverse impact on our activities, including (i) reduction or delay of our business activities, (ii) forced sales of material assets, (iii) defaults on our obligations, or (iv) insolvency. Our planned investments may not result in increased revenue or growth of our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset our expected costs and planned investments in our business and platform. If we fail to achieve and sustain profitability, then we may not be able to achieve our business plan, fund our business or continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern, we may require additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain.
Revenues generated from our operations are not presently sufficient to sustain our operations. Therefore, we may need to raise additional capital in the future to continue our operations. We anticipate that our principal sources of liquidity may not be sufficient to fund our activities to obtain long-term, sustainable profitability. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. We may be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments will be dilutive to existing stockholders. The terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, all of which will have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets and our history of losses, which could impact the availability and cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues and profits from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to curtail or cease operations.
Our business is highly competitive and subject to rapid changes. We face significant competition to attract and retain our customers that we anticipate will continue to intensify. Should we fail to attract and retain customers, our business and results of operations may suffer.
We compete for brand and agency customers.
Many of our existing competitors have, and some of our potential competitors could have, substantial competitive advantages, such as:
|
● |
larger sales and marketing budgets and resources; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
broader and more established relationships with brands and agencies; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
greater resources to make acquisitions and enter into strategic partnerships; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
lower labor and research and development costs; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
larger and more mature intellectual property portfolios; and |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources. |
We expect competition to continue to increase in the future. Conditions in our market could change rapidly and significantly as a result of technological advancements, the emergence of new entrants into the market, partnering or acquisitions by our competitors, continuing market consolidation, or changing customer preferences, which can be difficult to predict or prepare for.
Our competitors vary in size, and some may have substantially broader and more diverse offerings or may be able to adopt more lucrative payment policies or structures for brands and agencies. Failure to adequately identify and adapt to these competitive pricing pressures could negatively impact our business.
We may not be able to sustain our growth, effectively manage our anticipated future growth or implement our business strategies.
We have a somewhat limited operating history as a leading creator and publisher of content experiences and media solutions across the world’s largest immersive platforms and have experienced organic and inorganic growth during certain prior periods. However, recent growth rates may not be indicative of our future performance due to our limited operating history and the rapid evolution of our business model. We may not be able to achieve similar results or accelerate growth at the same rate as we have organically or following the completion of prior acquisitions and we may not achieve our expected results, all of which may have a material and adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
We believe that our future growth will depend on many factors, including our ability to continue diversifying and growing new sources of revenues, attract and retain a larger number of brand and agency clients, continue developing our data platform in a manner that increases demand for our products and services. We cannot assure you that we will achieve any of the above, and our failure to do so may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We are subject to risks associated with operating in a rapidly developing industry and a relatively new market.
Many elements of our business are unique, evolving and relatively unproven. Our business and prospects depend on the continuing development of a leading position as a provider of media solutions for brands interested in reaching and engaging audiences who play video games. The market for gaming media solutions has grown significantly in recent years and continues to rapidly develop, which may present significant challenges. Our business relies upon our ability to cultivate and grow a robust client and partner base and successfully achieve gross margins from our products and services that provide sufficient resources to fund our operations. In addition, our continued growth depends, in part, on our ability to respond to rapid technological evolution, continued shifts in gamer trends and demands and the constant emergence of new industry standards and practices and video game platform policies and terms of use.
Developing and integrating into new games, titles, content, products, services or infrastructure could be expensive and time-consuming, and these efforts may not yield the benefits we expect to achieve at all. We cannot assure you that we will succeed in any of these aspects or that the industry within which we operate will continue to grow as rapidly as it has in the past.
We generate the majority of our revenues from brands and agencies. If we fail to attract more brands and agencies, or if brands or agencies are less willing to partner with us, our revenues may be adversely affected.
We generate the majority of our revenues from brands and agencies who engage the Company to design, implement, and report upon marketing and advertising campaigns that reach audiences of video game players across gaming and social and digital platforms. We expect to expand our volume of brand and agency relationships in the near future. Our revenues from brand and agency campaigns partly depends on the continual development of the digital advertising industry and advertisers’ willingness to allocate budgets to digital advertising targeting gamers. In addition, companies that decide to advertise or promote online may utilize more established methods or channels, such as more established internet portals or search engines, over advertising through our products and services. If the digital advertising market does not continue to grow, or if we are unable to capture and retain a sufficient share of that market, our ability to increase our current level of revenue and our profitability and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
Furthermore, our core and long-term priority of utilizing unique data insights and intelligence to win more business, improve campaign performance for our clients, and expand our sources of revenue may not be fully realized. For example, our data platform may not produce valuable insights or may not enable the company to deliver superior performance relative to our competitors or when compared to alternative advertising channels chosen by our clients, or compel brands and agencies to expand their scope of business with us. While this outcome could adversely affect our operating results in the short and long-term, we believe the data platform will enable us to provide differentiated products and services in our industry.
Our revenue model may not remain effective and we cannot guarantee that our future monetization strategies will be successfully implemented or generate sustainable revenues and profit.
The Company generates revenue from (i) the creation and distribution of in-game interactive content and media products, (ii) the distribution of interactive and standard media products designed to reach gamers, and (iii) revenue share arrangements with select video game creators. We have generated, and expect to continue to generate, a substantial portion of revenues using this revenue model in the near term. Although our business has experienced periods of growth in recent years, there is no guarantee that our offerings will gain significant traction to maximize our growth rate in the future, as the demand for our products and services may change, decrease substantially or dissipate, or we may fail to anticipate and serve client demands effectively.
The loss of or a substantial reduction in activity by one or more of our largest customers and/or vendors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
For Fiscal Years 2025 and 2024, two customers accounted for 22% and two customers accounted for 20% of revenue, respectively. At December 31, 2025, three customers accounted for 57% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2024, three customers accounted for 45% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2025, one vendor accounted for 24% of accounts payable. At December 31, 2024, two vendors accounted for 21% of accounts payable. The loss of or a substantial reduction in activity by one or more of our largest customers and/or vendors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our marketing and advertising efforts may fail to resonate with brands and agencies.
Our service offerings are or may be marketed through a diverse spectrum of advertising and promotional programs such as online and mobile advertising, marketing through websites, event sponsorship and direct communications with our brand and agency contacts via email, blogs and other electronic means. A portion of our marketing activity takes place on social media platforms that are either outside, or not totally within, our direct control. Changes to user preferences, marketing regulations, privacy and data protection laws, technology changes or service disruptions may negatively impact our ability to reach target clients. If advertising rates or other media placement costs increase, our business and operating results could be harmed.
The video game industry is less advanced than other digital content ecosystems with regard to advertising solutions. There may not be enough spend from global brands to sustain our growth.
Brands and agencies have a level of expectation with regard to the features and functions required from the channels and platforms where they spend their marketing and advertising budgets. The largest digital advertising ecosystems such as those created by Meta and Google provide these necessary features. Video game companies, gaming platforms and the technology providers who provide third party solutions in the video game advertising space do not yet have equivalent functionality, creating hesitancy on behalf of brands and agencies to allocate significant regular spend within these channels. We remain one of the leading companies continuing to educate brands and agencies about the opportunities and advancements within these channels and have expanded our offerings to include additional channels such as social media, digital video, and connected TV. Nevertheless, brands and agencies may not elect to shift increasing levels of spend to video game platforms as rapidly as needed to support our growth and profitability objectives.
We have entered into partnership agreements with certain third parties or platforms that enhance our product offerings and capabilities. Without the continuation of these partnerships, we may not be able to offer the same capabilities to our clients.
We have established formal partnerships with multiple third parties to expand the products and services we offer our brand and agency clients. While we have certain protections with regard to our ability to maintain these relationships, these partners may choose to discontinue their relationship with the Company, thereby preventing us from offering the same products and services that currently generate a portion of our revenue. Should those partners choose not to allow us to offer their solutions to our clients, certain clients may be less likely to choose the Company to implement their marketing and advertising programs, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
If we fail to maintain and enhance our brand/or if we incur excessive expenses in this effort, our business, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
We believe that maintaining and enhancing our brand is of significant importance to the success of our business. A well-recognized brand is important to increasing the number of brands and agencies who elect to engage us to implement their marketing and advertising programs. Since we operate in a highly competitive market, brand maintenance and enhancement directly affect our ability to maintain and enhance our market position.
Although we have developed our brand through word of mouth referrals and key strategic partnerships, as we expand, we may conduct various marketing and brand promotion activities using various methods to continue promoting our brand. We cannot assure you, however, that these activities will be successful or that we will be able to achieve the brand promotion effect we expect.
In addition, any negative publicity in relation to our service offerings, or operations, regardless of its veracity, could harm our brand and reputation, in which case our market position could be significantly harmed, which may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects.
Technology changes rapidly in our business and if we fail to anticipate or successfully implement new technologies or adopt new business strategies, technologies or methods, the quality, timeliness and competitiveness of our offered services may suffer.
Rapid technology changes require us to anticipate, sometimes years in advance, which technologies we must develop, implement and take advantage of in order to be and remain competitive in both the content-creation and delivery market, social media markets, and the metaverse gaming market. We have invested, and in the future may invest, in new business strategies including technologies, products, or games or first-tier game titles to continue to persistently engage the user and deliver the best user experience. For example, if we are unable to react quickly to new technology trends—for example the continued growth of generative Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) solutions which disrupts the ways developers create experiences or may disrupt the way users consume virtual goods—it may harm our business and results of operation. Further, social and ethical issues relating to the use of new and evolving technologies such as AI in our offerings, may result in reputational harm and liability, and may cause us to incur additional research and development costs to resolve such issues. AI presents emerging ethical issues and if we enable or offer solutions that draw controversy due to their perceived or actual impact on society, we may experience brand/or reputational harm, competitive harm, or legal liability. Failure to address AI ethics issues by us or others in our industry could undermine public confidence in AI.
Such endeavors may involve significant risks and uncertainties, and no assurance can be given that the technology we choose to adopt and the features that we pursue will be successful. If we do not successfully implement these new technologies, our reputation may be materially adversely affected and our financial condition and operating results may be impacted. We also may miss opportunities to adopt technology, or develop technologies, products, or services that become popular with users and creators, which could adversely affect our financial results. It may take significant time and resources to shift our focus to such technologies, putting us at a competitive disadvantage.
Our development process usually starts with particular user experiences in mind, and a range of technical development and feature goals that we hope to be able to achieve. We may not be able to achieve these goals, or our competitors may be able to achieve them more quickly and effectively than we can based on having greater operating capital and personnel resources. If we cannot achieve our technology goals within the original development schedule, then we may delay their release until these goals can be achieved, which may delay or reduce revenue and increase our development expenses. Alternatively, we may be required to significantly increase the resources employed in research and development in an attempt to accelerate our development of new technologies, either to preserve our launch schedule or to keep up with our competitors, which would increase our development expenses.
We may experience security breaches and cyber threats.
We continually face cyber risks and threats that seek to damage, disrupt or gain access to our networks and our platform, supporting infrastructure, intellectual property and other assets. In addition, we rely on technological infrastructure, including third party cloud hosting and broadband, provided by third party business partners to support the in person and online functionality of our platform. These business partners are also subject to cyber risks and threats. Such cyber risks and threats may be difficult to detect. Both our partners and we have implemented certain systems and processes to guard against cyber risks and to help protect our data and systems. However, the techniques that may be used to obtain unauthorized access or disable, degrade, exploit or sabotage our networks and platform change frequently and often are not detected. Our systems and processes, and the systems and processes of our third-party business partners, may not be adequate. Any failure to prevent or mitigate security breaches or cyber risks, or respond adequately to a security breach or cyber risk, could result in interruptions to our platform, degrade the user experience, cause users and creators to lose confidence in our gaming platform and cease utilizing it, as well as significant legal and financial exposure. This could harm our business and reputation, disrupt our relationships with partners and diminish our competitive position.
Successful exploitation of our networks and platform can have other negative effects upon the user experience we offer. In particular, the virtual economies that exist in certain of our licensed game publishers’ games and developers’ outside platforms, such as Roblox, are subject to abuse, exploitation and other forms of fraudulent activity that can negatively impact our business. Virtual economies involve the use of virtual currency and/or virtual assets that can be used or redeemed by a user within a particular online game or service.
Our business could be adversely affected if our data privacy and security practices are not adequate, or perceived as being inadequate, to prevent data breaches, or by the application of data privacy and security laws generally.
In the course of our business, we may collect, process, store and use gamer and other information, including personally identifiable information, passwords and credit card information, the latter of which is subject to PCI-DSS compliance. Although we take measures to protect this information from unauthorized access, acquisition, disclosure and misuse, our security controls, policies and practices may not be able to prevent the improper or unauthorized access, acquisition or disclosure of such information. The unauthorized access, acquisition or disclosure of this information, or a perception that we do not adequately secure this information could result in legal liability, costly remedial measures, governmental and regulatory investigations, harm our profitability and reputation and cause our financial results to be materially affected. In addition, third party vendors and business partners receive access to information that we collect. These vendors and business partners may not prevent data security breaches with respect to the information we provide them or fully enforce our policies, contractual obligations and disclosures regarding the collection, use, storage, transfer and retention of personal data. A data security breach of one of our vendors or business partners could cause reputational harm to them and/or negatively impact our ability to maintain the credibility of our user community.
Data privacy, data protection, localization, security and consumer-protection laws are evolving, and the interpretation and application of these laws in the United States, Europe (including compliance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPA”), and elsewhere often are uncertain, contradictory and changing. It is possible that these laws may be interpreted or applied in a manner that is averse to us or otherwise inconsistent with our practices, which could result in litigation, regulatory investigations and potential legal liability or require us to change our practices in a manner adverse to our business. As a result, our reputation and brand may be harmed, we could incur substantial costs, and we could lose both users and creators and revenue.
Our advertising revenue is dependent on targeting and measurement tools that incorporate data signals from user activity on websites and services that we do not control, and changes to the regulatory environment, third-party mobile operating systems and browsers, and our own products have impacted, and we expect will continue to impact, the availability of such signals, which will adversely affect our advertising revenue.
We rely on data signals from user activity on websites and services that we do not control in order to deliver relevant and effective ads to our users. Our advertising revenue is dependent on targeting and measurement tools that incorporate these signals, and any changes in our ability to use such signals will adversely affect our business. For example, legislative and regulatory developments, such as the GDPR, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), have impacted, and we expect will continue to impact, our ability to use such signals in our ad products. In particular, we may see an increasing number of users opt to control certain types of ad targeting, which may increase further with expanded control over certain third-party data as part of our compliance with these laws and regulations, and we may have to introduce product changes that limit data signal use for certain users in California following adoption of the CCPA. Regulatory guidance or decisions or new legislation in these or other jurisdictions may require us to make additional changes to our products in the future that further reduce our ability to use these signals. In addition, mobile operating system and browser providers, such as Apple and Google, have implemented product changes and/or announced future plans to limit the ability of websites and application developers to collect and use these signals to target and measure advertising. These developments may limit our ability to target and measure the effectiveness of ads across platforms and may negatively impact our advertising revenue. If we are unable to mitigate these developments as they take further effect in the future, our targeting and measurement capabilities may be materially and adversely affected, which would in turn significantly impact our future revenue growth.
We may experience system failures, outages and/or disruptions of the functionality of our platform. Such failures, delays and other problems could harm our reputation and business, cause us to lose customers and potentially expose us to customer liability.
We may experience system failures, outages and/or disruptions, and our operations could be interrupted or degraded by any damage to or failure of:
|
● |
our computer software or hardware, or our customers’ or suppliers’ computer software or hardware; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
our network, our customers’ networks or our suppliers’ networks; or |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
our connections and outsourced service arrangements with third parties. |
Our systems and operations are also vulnerable to damage or interruption from:
|
● |
power loss, transmission cable cuts and other telecommunications and utility failures; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
a terrorist attack in the U.S. or in another country in which we operate; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
interruption of service arising from facility migrations, resulting from changes in business operations including acquisitions and planned data center migrations; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
computer viruses or software defects; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
loss or misuse of proprietary information or customer data that compromises security, confidentiality or integrity; or |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
errors by our employees or third-party service providers. |
Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our executive officers, key employees and qualified personnel, and our business operations may be severely disrupted if we lose their services.
Our future success depends substantially on the continued efforts of our executive officers and key employees. If one or more of our executive officers or key employees were unable or unwilling to continue their services with us, we might not be able to replace them easily, in a timely manner, or at all. Since our industry is characterized by high demand and intense competition for talents, we cannot assure you that we will be able to attract or retain qualified staff or other highly skilled employees. In addition, as the Company is relatively young, our ability to train and integrate new employees into our operations may not meet the growing demands of our business, which may materially and adversely affect our ability to grow our business and hence our results of operations.
If any of our executive officers and key employees terminates their services with us, our business may be severely disrupted, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected and we may incur additional expenses to recruit, train and retain qualified personnel. If any of our executive officers or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose users and creators, know-how and key professionals and staff members. Certain of our executive officers and key employees have entered into a non-solicitation and non-competition agreements with us. However, certain provisions under the non-solicitation and non-competition agreement may be deemed legally invalid or unenforceable. If any dispute arises between our executive officers and us, we cannot assure you that we would be able to enforce these non-compete agreements.
Our business is affected by seasonal demands, and our financial condition and results of operations will fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which makes our financial results difficult to predict and may not fully reflect our underlying performance.
Historically, our business has been highly seasonal, with the highest percentage of our revenues occurring in the second half of the fiscal year, with the fourth quarter typically representing our highest revenue quarter each year, when advertising spending is typically strongest due to the holiday seasons, and we expect this trend to continue. We may also experience fluctuations due to factors that may be outside of our control that affect user, developer, or creator engagement with our Platform.
Accordingly, our quarterly results of operations have fluctuated in the past and will fluctuate in the future, both based on the seasonality of our business as well as external factors impacting the global economy, our industry and our company, including, but not limited to our ability to maintain and grow our customer base, customer engagement, developer base and developer engagement; the level of demand for our service offerings; the ability of our developers to monetize their experiences; increased competition; our pricing model; the maturation of our business; our ability to introduce new revenue streams; legislative or regulatory changes; macroeconomic conditions, such as high inflation, recessionary or uncertain environments, and fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates; our ability to maintain operating margins, cash used in operating activities, and free cash flow; system failures or actual or perceived breaches or other incidents relating to privacy or cybersecurity; adverse litigation judgements, settlements, or other litigation and dispute-related costs; adverse media coverage or unfavorable publicity; the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting; changes in our effective tax rate; and changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations, or principles. As a result, you should not rely on our past quarterly results of operations as indicators of future performance. You should take into account the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in rapidly evolving market segments.
We may continue to make acquisitions and pursue other strategic transactions, which could require significant management attention, disrupt our business, dilute our stockholders, impact our financial condition or results of operations, significantly harm our business, and adversely affect the price of our common stock.
As part of our business strategy, we have made and may continue to make acquisitions to add specialized employees and complementary companies, products, or technologies, and from time to time may enter into other strategic transactions such as investments and joint ventures. We may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates, and we may not be able to complete acquisitions or other strategic transactions on favorable terms, or at all, including as a result of regulatory challenges. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur significant expenses related to identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated. In some cases, the costs of such acquisitions or other strategic transactions may be substantial, and there is no assurance that we will realize expected synergies from future growth and potential monetization opportunities for our acquisitions or a favorable return on investment for our strategic investments. Furthermore, our acquisition strategy may not succeed if we are unable to remain attractive to target companies or expeditiously close transactions. If we develop a reputation for being a difficult acquirer or having an unfavorable work environment, or if target companies view our common stock unfavorably, we may be unable to consummate key acquisition transactions essential to our corporate strategy and our business may be significantly harmed.
We may pay substantial amounts of cash or incur debt to pay for acquisitions or other strategic transactions, which has occurred in the past and could adversely affect our liquidity. The incurrence of indebtedness would also result in increased fixed obligations and increased interest expense and could also include covenants or other restrictions that would impede our ability to manage our operations. We may also issue equity securities to pay for acquisitions and may grant stock options or other equity awards to retain the employees of acquired companies, which could increase our expenses, adversely affect our financial results, and result in dilution to our stockholders. In addition, any acquisitions or other strategic transactions we announce could be viewed negatively by users, marketers, developers, or investors, which may adversely affect our business or the price of our common stock.
We may also discover liabilities, deficiencies, or other claims associated with the companies or assets we acquire that were not identified in advance, which may result in significant unanticipated costs. The effectiveness of our due diligence review and our ability to evaluate the results of such due diligence are dependent upon the accuracy and completeness of statements and disclosures made or actions taken by the companies we acquire or their representatives, as well as the limited amount of time in which acquisitions are executed. In addition, we may not successfully evaluate or use the acquired products, technology, and personnel, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition or other strategic transaction, including tax and accounting charges which could be recognized as a current period expense. Furthermore, it generally takes several months after the closing of an acquisition to finalize the purchase price allocation. Therefore, it is possible that our valuation of an acquisition may change and result in unanticipated write-offs or charges, impairment of our goodwill, or a material change to the fair value of the assets and liabilities associated with a particular acquisition, any of which would affect our balance sheet and could significantly harm our business. Acquisitions or other strategic transactions may also result in our recording of significant additional expenses to our results of operations and recording of substantial finite-lived intangible assets on our balance sheet upon closing. Any of these factors may adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
We may not be able to successfully integrate our acquisitions and we may incur significant costs to integrate and support the companies we acquire.
The integration of companies or assets we acquire requires significant time and resources, particularly with respect to companies that have significant operations or that develop products where we do not have prior experience, and we may not manage these processes successfully. We continue to make substantial investments of resources to support our acquisitions, which has in the past resulted, and we expect will in the future result in significant ongoing operating expense and the diversion of resources and management attention from other areas of our business. We cannot assure you that these investments will be successful. If we fail to successfully integrate the companies we acquire, we may not realize the benefits expected from the transaction and our business may be harmed.
We may encounter significant difficulties integrating acquired businesses.
The integration of any businesses is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. As a result, we have devoted, and will continue to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating acquired businesses. The failure to meet the challenges involved in integrating businesses and to realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition could cause an interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities of our combined business and could adversely affect our results of operations. The difficulties of combining acquired businesses with our own include, among others:
|
● |
the diversion of management attention to integration matters; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
difficulties in integrating functional roles, processes and systems, including accounting systems; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
challenges in conforming standards, controls, procedures and accounting and other policies, business cultures and compensation structures between the two companies; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
difficulties in assimilating, attracting and retaining key personnel; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
challenges in keeping existing clients and obtaining new clients; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from an acquisition; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex business; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
contingent liabilities, including contingent tax liabilities or litigation, which may be larger than expected; and |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
potential unknown liabilities, adverse consequences or unforeseen increased expenses associated with an acquisition, including possible adverse tax consequences to the combined business pursuant to changes in applicable tax laws or regulations. |
Many of these factors are outside of our control, and any one of them could result in increased costs, decreased expected revenues and diversion of management time and energy, all of which could adversely impact our business and results of operations. These difficulties have been enhanced further as a result of our office closures and work-from home policies, which may hinder the assimilation of key personnel.
If we are not able to successfully integrate an acquisition, if we incur significantly greater costs to achieve the expected synergies than we anticipate or if activities related to the expected synergies have unintended consequences, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected.
The preparation of our financial statements involves the use of good faith estimates, judgements and assumptions, and our financial statements may be materially affected if such good faith estimates, judgements or good faith assumptions prove to be inaccurate.
Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) typically require the use of good faith estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Often, different estimates, judgements and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material effect on such financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgements and assumptions may occur from period to period over time. Significant areas of accounting requiring the application of management’s judgment include, but are not limited to, determining the fair value of assets, share-based compensation and the timing and amount of cash flows from assets. These estimates, judgements and assumptions are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the risk that charges to income or other financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes would require a restatement of our financial statements and could harm our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgements and assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements and our business.
Regulatory and Legal Risk Factors
Our business is subject to regulation, and changes in applicable regulations may negatively impact our business.
We are subject to a number of foreign and domestic laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the Internet. In addition, laws and regulations relating to user privacy, data collection, retention, electronic commerce, virtual items and currency, consumer protection, content, advertising, localization, and information security have been adopted or are being considered for adoption by many jurisdictions and countries throughout the world. These laws could harm our business by limiting the products and services we can offer consumers or the manner in which we offer them. The costs of compliance with these laws may increase in the future as a result of changes in interpretation. Furthermore, any failure on our part to comply with these laws or the application of these laws in an unanticipated manner may harm our business and result in penalties or significant legal liability.
In addition, we include modes in our platform that allow players to compete against each other. Although we structure and operate these skill-based competitions with applicable laws in mind, our skill-based competitions in the future could become subject to evolving rules and regulations and expose us to significant liability, penalties and reputational harm.
Changes in tax laws or regulations that are applied adversely to us or our customers may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, financial condition or results of operations.
New income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be enacted at any time, which could affect the tax treatment of our earnings and adversely affect our operations, and our business and financial performance. Further, existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us. For example, on December 22, 2017, tax legislation was signed into law that contained many significant changes to the U.S. tax laws. The new legislation reduced the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, resulting in our deferred income tax assets and liabilities, including NOLs, to be measured using the new rate as reflected in the valuation of these assets as of December 31, 2017. As a result, the value of our deferred tax assets decreased by approximately $4.3 million, and the related valuation allowance has been reduced by the same amount. Our analysis and interpretation of this legislation is ongoing. Given the full valuation allowance provided for net deferred tax assets for the periods presented herein, the change in tax law did not have a material impact on our financial statements provided herein. There may, however, be additional tax impacts identified in subsequent fiscal periods in accordance with subsequent interpretive guidance issued by the SEC or the Internal Revenue Service. Further, there may be other material adverse effects resulting from the legislation that we have not yet identified. No estimated tax provision has been recorded in the financial statements included herein for tax attributes that are incomplete or subject to change.
The foregoing items could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, it is unclear how these U.S. federal income tax changes will affect state and local taxation, which often uses federal taxable income as a starting point for computing state and local tax liabilities. The impact of this tax legislation on holders of our common stock is also uncertain and could be adverse. We urge our stockholders and investors to consult with our legal and tax advisors with respect to this legislation and the potential tax consequences of investing in or holding our common stock.
Our online activities are subject to various laws and regulations relating to privacy and child protection, which, if violated, could subject us to an increased risk of litigation and regulatory actions.
In addition to our platform, we use third-party applications, websites, and social media platforms to promote our service offerings and engage users, as well as monitor and collect certain information about users in our online forums. A variety of laws and regulations have been adopted in recent years aimed at protecting children using the internet such as the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act of 1998 (“COPPA”). COPPA sets forth, among other things, a number of restrictions on what website operators can present to children under the age of 13 and what information can be collected from them. COPPA is of particular concern to us, and in an effort to minimize our risk of potential exposure, we retained a COPPA expert as a consultant and have posted a compliant privacy policy, terms of use and various other policies on our website. We undertake significant effort to implement certain precautions to ensure that access to our platform is COPPA compliant. Despite our efforts, no assurances can be given that such measures will be sufficient to completely avoid exposure and COPPA violations, any of which could expose us to significant liability, penalties, reputational harm and loss of revenue, among other things.
The laws and regulations concerning data privacy are continually evolving. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm our business.
Consumers are able to access our service offerings online through our platform. We collect and store information about our consumers both personally identifying and non-personally identifying information. Numerous federal, state and international laws address privacy, data protection and the collection, storing, sharing, use, disclosure and protection of personally identifiable information and other user data. Numerous states already have, and are looking to expand, data protection legislation requiring companies like ours to consider solutions to meet differing needs and expectations of creators and attendees. Outside the United States, personally identifiable information and other user data is increasingly subject to legislation and regulations in numerous jurisdictions around the world, the intent of which is to protect the privacy of information that is collected, processed and transmitted in or from the governing jurisdiction. Foreign data protection, privacy, information security, user protection and other laws and regulations are often more restrictive than those in the United States. In particular, the European Union and its member states traditionally have taken broader views as to types of data that are subject to privacy and data protection laws and regulations and have imposed greater legal obligations on companies in this regard. For example, in April 2016, European legislative bodies adopted the GDPR, which became effective on May 25, 2018. The GDPR applies to any company established in the European Union as well as to those outside of the European Union if they collect and use personal data in connection with the offering of goods or services to individuals in the European Union or the monitoring of their behavior. The GDPR enhances data protection obligations for processors and controllers of personal data, including, for example, expanded disclosures about how personal information is to be used, limitations on retention of information, mandatory data breach notification requirements and onerous new obligations on service providers. Non-compliance with the GDPR may result in monetary penalties of up to €20 million or 4% of annual worldwide revenue, whichever is higher. In addition, some countries are considering or have passed legislation implementing data protection requirements or requiring local storage and processing of data or similar requirements that could increase the cost and complexity of delivering our services. The GDPR and other changes in laws or regulations associated with the enhanced protection of certain types of personal data could greatly increase our cost of providing our products and services or even prevent us from offering certain services in jurisdictions in which we operate. The European Commission is also currently negotiating a new ePrivacy Regulation that would address various matters, including provisions specifically aimed at the use of cookies to identify an individual’s online behavior, and any such ePrivacy Regulation may provide for new compliance obligations and significant penalties. Any of these changes to European Union data protection law or its interpretation could disrupt and/or harm our business.
On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union, commonly referred to as “Brexit.” This decision created an uncertain political and economic environment, especially in regard to regulation of data protection, in the U.K. and other European Union countries, and the formal process for leaving the European Union has taken years to complete. The U.K. formally left the European Union on January 31, 2020 and began a transition period which expired on December 31, 2020. In particular, while the U.K. has implemented legislation that implements and complements the GDPR, with penalties of noncompliance of up to the greater of £17.5 million or four percent of worldwide revenues, it is unclear how data transfers to and from the United Kingdom will be regulated. The interpretation and application of many privacy and data protection laws are, and will likely remain, uncertain, and it is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing data management practices or product features. Although player interaction on our platform is subject to our privacy policies, end user license agreements (“EULAs”), and terms of service, if we fail to comply with our posted privacy policies, EULAs, or terms of service, or if we fail to comply with existing privacy-related or data protection laws and regulations, it could result in proceedings or litigation against us by governmental authorities or others, which could result in fines or judgements against us, damage our reputation, impact our financial condition and/or harm our business.
In addition to government regulation, privacy advocacy and industry groups may propose new and different self-regulatory standards that either legally or contractually apply to us. Any inability to adequately address privacy, data protection and data security concerns or comply with applicable privacy, data protection or data security laws, regulations, policies and other obligations could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales and harm our business. Further, our failure, and/or the failure by the various third-party service providers and partners with which we do business, to comply with applicable privacy policies or federal, state or similar international laws and regulations or any other obligations relating to privacy, data protection or information security, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release of personally identifiable information or other user data, or the perception that any such failure or compromise has occurred, could damage our reputation, result in a loss of creators or attendees, discourage potential creators and attendees from trying our platform and/or result in fines and/or proceedings by governmental agencies and/or users, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, given the breadth and depth of changes in data protection obligations, ongoing compliance with evolving interpretation of the GDPR and other regulatory requirements requires time and resources and a review of the technology and systems currently in use against the requirements of GDPR and other regulations.
We may be held liable for information or content displayed on, retrieved from or linked to our platform, or distributed to our users.
Our interactive live streaming platform enables users and creators to exchange information and engage in various other online activities. Although we require our users and creators to register their real name, we do not require user identifications used and displayed while using the platform to contain any real-name information, and hence we are unable to verify the sources of all the information posted by our users and creators. In addition, because a majority of the communications on our online and in person platform is conducted in real time, we are unable to examine the content generated by users and creators before they are posted or streamed. Therefore, it is possible that users and creators may engage in illegal, obscene or incendiary conversations or activities, including publishing of inappropriate or illegal content that may be deemed unlawful. If any content on our platform is deemed illegal, obscene or incendiary, or if appropriate licenses and third-party consents have not been obtained, claims may be brought against us for defamation, libel, negligence, copyright, patent or trademark infringement, other unlawful activities or other theories and claims based on the nature and content of the information delivered on or otherwise accessed through our platform. Moreover, the costs of compliance may continue to increase when more content is made available on our platform as a result of our growing base of users and creators, which may adversely affect our results of operations.
Intensified government regulation of the Internet industry could restrict our ability to maintain or increase the level of traffic to our platform as well as our ability to capture other market opportunities.
The Internet industry is increasingly subject to strict scrutiny. New laws and regulations may be adopted from time to time to address new issues that come to the authorities’ attention. We may not timely obtain or maintain all the required licenses or approvals or make all the necessary filings in the future. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the required licenses or approvals if we plan to expand into other Internet businesses. If we fail to obtain or maintain any of the required licenses or approvals or make the necessary filings, we may be subject to various penalties, which may disrupt our business operations or derail our business strategy, and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings.
From time to time, we may become subject to legal proceedings, claims, litigation and government investigations or inquiries, which could be expensive, lengthy, disruptive to normal business operations and occupy a significant amount of our employees’ time and attention. In addition, the outcome of any legal proceedings, claims, litigation, investigations or inquiries may be difficult to predict and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition.
Risks Related to Intellectual Property
We may be subject to claims of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights.
From time to time, third parties may claim that we have infringed their intellectual property rights. For example, patent holding companies may assert patent claims against us in which they seek to monetize patents they have purchased or otherwise obtained. Although we take steps to avoid knowingly violating the intellectual property rights of others, it is possible that third parties still may claim infringement.
Existing or future infringement claims against us, whether valid or not, may be expensive to defend and divert the attention of our employees from business operations. Such claims or litigation could require us to pay damages, royalties, legal fees and other costs. We also could be required to stop offering, distributing or supporting our platform, service offerings, or other features or services which incorporate the affected intellectual property rights, redesign products, features or services to avoid infringement, or obtain a license, all of which could be costly and harm our business.
In addition, many patents have been issued that may apply to potential new modes of delivering, playing or monetizing interactive entertainment software products and services, such as those offered on our platform or that we would like to offer in the future. We may discover that future opportunities to provide new and innovative services to users and creators may be precluded by existing patents that we are unable to license on reasonable terms.
Our technology, content and brands are subject to the threat of piracy, unauthorized copying and other forms of intellectual property infringement.
We regard our technology, content and brands as proprietary and take measures to protect our technology, content and brands and other confidential information from infringement. Piracy and other forms of unauthorized copying and use of our technology, content and brands are persistent, and policing is difficult. Further, the laws of some countries in which our products are or may be distributed either do not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States or are poorly enforced. Legal protection of our rights may be ineffective in such countries. In addition, although we take steps to enforce and police our rights, factors such as the proliferation of technology designed to circumvent the protection measures used by our business partners or by us, the availability of broadband access to the Internet, the refusal of Internet service providers or platform holders to remove infringing content in certain instances, and the proliferation of online channels through which infringing product is distributed all have contributed to an expansion in unauthorized copying of our technology, content and brands.
Third parties may register trademarks or domain names or purchase internet search engine keywords that are similar to our registered trademark or pending trademarks, brands or websites, or misappropriate our data and copy our platform, all of which could cause confusion, divert users and creators away from our platform and service offerings, or harm our reputation.
Competitors and other third parties may purchase (i) trademarks that are similar to our trademarks and (ii) keywords that are confusingly similar to our brands or websites in Internet search engine advertising programs and in the header and text of the resulting sponsored links or advertisements in order to divert users and creators from us to their websites. Preventing such unauthorized use is inherently difficult. If we are unable to prevent such unauthorized use, competitors and other third parties may continue to drive potential users and creators away from our platform to competing, irrelevant or potentially offensive platforms, which could harm our reputation and cause us to lose revenue.
We may not be able to prevent others from unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position.
We regard our registered trademark and pending trademarks, service marks, pending patents, domain names, trade secrets, proprietary technologies and similar intellectual property as critical to our success. We rely on trademark and patent law, trade secret protection and confidentiality and license agreements with our employees and others to protect our proprietary rights.
We have invested significant resources to develop our own intellectual property and acquire licenses to use and distribute the intellectual property of others on our platform. Failure to maintain or protect these rights could harm our business. In addition, any unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties may adversely affect our current and future revenues and our reputation.
Policing unauthorized use of proprietary technology is difficult and expensive. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Further, we require every employee and consultant to execute proprietary information and invention agreements prior to commencing work. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, third parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual property or seek court declarations that they do not infringe upon our intellectual property rights. Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly, and we cannot assure you that the steps we have taken will prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property. From time to time, we may have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources.
Our patent and trademark applications may not be granted and our patent and trademark rights, once patents are issued and trademarks are registered, may be contested, circumvented, invalidated or limited in scope, and our patent and trademark rights may not protect us effectively once issued and registered, respectively. In particular, we may not be able to prevent others from developing or exploiting competing technologies and trademarks, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business operations, financial condition and results of operations.
Currently, we have one patent application pending, and 187 registered trademarks, along with certain licenses from game publishers to utilize their proprietary games. For our pending patent application, we cannot assure you that we will be granted patents pursuant to our pending applications as well as future patent applications we intend to file. Even if our patent applications succeed, it is still uncertain whether these patents will be contested, circumvented or invalidated in the future. In addition, the rights granted under any issued patents may not provide us with sufficient protection or competitive advantages. The claims under any patents that issue from our patent applications may not be broad enough to prevent others from developing technologies that are similar or that achieve results similar to ours. It is also possible that the intellectual property rights of others will bar us from licensing and from exploiting any patents that issue from our pending applications. Numerous U.S. and foreign issued patents and pending patent applications owned by others exist in the fields in which we have developed and are developing our technology. These patents and patent applications might have priority over our patent applications and could subject our patent applications to invalidation. Finally, in addition to those who may claim priority, any of our pending patent and trademark applications may also be challenged by others on the basis that they are otherwise invalid or unenforceable.
Governance Risks and Risks Related to our Common Stock
Our amended and restated bylaws designate a state or federal court located within the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.
Pursuant to our amended and restated bylaws, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be a state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over indispensable parties named as defendants. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision. The forum selection clause in our amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against us or our directors and officers and may limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.
Because the applicability of the exclusive forum provision is limited to the extent permitted by law, we believe that the exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction or concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act. We note that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.
Although our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our shares may be thinly traded at times and an active market may never develop.
Although our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our shares of common stock may be thinly traded at times, and the price may not reflect our actual or perceived value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business, competitive forces, state of the live stream and gaming industry, growth rate and becoming cash flow profitable on a sustainable basis, among other things. We may, in the future, take certain steps, including utilizing investor awareness campaigns, press releases, road shows, and conferences to increase awareness of our business and any steps that we might take to bring us to the awareness of investors may require we compensate financial public relations firms with cash and/or stock. There can be no assurance that there will be any awareness generated or the results of any efforts will result in any impact on our trading volume. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business and trading may be at an inflated price relative to the performance of our company due to, among other things, availability of sellers of our shares. If a market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there may be a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms or clearing firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities or accept our shares for deposit in an account. Even if an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in the shares of our common stock, the combination of brokerage commissions, transfer fees, taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of low-priced shares of common stock as collateral for any loans.
Our stock price may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially. This may be especially true for companies with a small public float. The trading price of our common stock will depend on several factors, including those described in this “Risk Factors” section, many of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our operating performance. These fluctuations could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in our common stock since you might be unable to sell your shares at or above the price you paid. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the trading price of our common stock include:
|
● |
changes to our industry, including demand and regulations; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors; |
|
|
|
||
|
● |
competitive pricing pressures; |

● |
additions or departures of key personnel; |
|
|
|

economic, geo-political and other external factors. |
In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions or interest rate changes, may seriously affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. These fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the trading market for our stock shortly. If the market price of our common stock after our offering does not exceed what you paid per share, you may not realize any return on your investment in us and may lose some or all of your investment.
In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market prices of particular companies’ securities, securities class action litigations have often been instituted against these companies. Litigation of this type, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources. Any adverse determination in any such litigation or any amounts paid to settle any such actual or threatened litigation could require that we make significant payments.
If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our common stock could be negatively affected.
Any trading market for our common stock will be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We may not obtain any future research coverage by securities industry analysts. In the event we are covered by research analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our common stock could be negatively affected.
We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the future. Any return on investment will likely be limited to the value of our common stock.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our Board may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
Since we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future, stock price appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain.
We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. In addition, the terms of any future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, appreciation, if any, in the market price of our common stock will be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.
Our issuance of additional shares of preferred stock could adversely affect the market value of our common stock, dilute the voting power of common stockholders and delay or prevent a change of control.
Our Board has the authority to cause us to issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, up to an additional 6,545,580 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to designate the number of shares constituting any series, and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, redemption price or prices and liquidation preferences of such series. As of March 31, 2026, we had Preferred Stock outstanding as summarized at Note 7.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock with dividend or conversion rights, liquidation preferences or other economic terms favorable to the holders of preferred stock could adversely affect the market price for our common stock by making an investment in the common stock less attractive. For example, investors in the common stock may not wish to purchase common stock at a price above the conversion price of a series of convertible preferred stock because the holders of the preferred stock would effectively be entitled to purchase common stock at the lower conversion price causing economic dilution to the holders of common stock.
Further, the issuance of shares of preferred stock with voting rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our other classes of voting stock either by diluting the voting power of our other classes of voting stock if they vote together as a single class, or by giving the holders of any such preferred stock the right to block an action on which they have a separate class vote even if the action were approved by the holders of our other classes of voting stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by the stockholders, even where stockholders are offered a premium for their shares.
Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which would rank senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock.
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. In the event of bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our common stock. Moreover, if we issue preferred stock in the future, the holders of such preferred stock could be entitled to preferences over holders of common stock in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred securities in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our common stock must bear the risk that any such future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return they may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock.
We are a “smaller reporting company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make an investment in us less attractive to investors. In particular, our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act (“Rules 12b-2”). Rule 12b-2 defines a “smaller reporting company” as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent that is not a smaller reporting company and that:
|
1. |
had a public float of less than $250 million; or |
|
2. |
had annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year for which audited financial statements are available and either had no public float or a public float of less than $700 million. |
“Smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. To the extent we take advantage of some or all of the reduced reporting requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies, an investment in our company may be less attractive to investors.
Ineffective internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, and results of operations.
Our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, failure or interruption of information technology systems, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information accurately and within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC could be adversely affected. This could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and potentially result in a restatement of our financial statements, which in turn could lead to a loss of investor confidence and a decline in the trading price of our common stock, and could subject us to investigation or sanctions by the SEC. Any such consequence or other negative effect could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We have granted, and may continue to grant, share incentive awards, which may result in increased share-based compensation expenses.
On June 9, 2025, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2025 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”), for purposes of granting share-based compensation awards to employees, directors and consultants to incentivize their performance and align their interests with ours. We account for compensation costs for all share-based awards issued under the 2025 Plan using a fair-value based method and recognize expenses in our statements of comprehensive loss in accordance with GAAP. Under the 2025 Plan, we are authorized to grant options to purchase shares of common stock of our Company, restricted share units to receive shares of common stock and restricted shares of common stock. For Fiscal Year 2025 and Fiscal Year 2024, we recorded share-based compensation expense as disclosed at Note 8.
We believe the granting of share incentive awards is important to our ability to attract and retain employees, and we will continue to grant share incentive awards to employees in the future. As a result, our expenses associated with share-based compensation may increase, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Uncertainty in global economic conditions could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We have various intangible assets recorded on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. We will continue to evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our intangible assets on an ongoing basis, and we may incur substantial impairment charges, which would adversely affect our financial results. There can be no assurance that the outcome of such reviews in the future will not result in substantial impairment charges. Impairment assessment inherently involves judgment as to assumptions about expected future cash flows and the impact of market conditions on those assumptions. Future events and changing market conditions may impact our assumptions as to prices, costs, holding periods or other factors that may result in changes in our estimates of future cash flows. Although we believe the assumptions we used in testing for impairment are reasonable, significant changes in any one of our assumptions could produce a significantly different result.
Risks Related to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Integration of artificial intelligence into our operations could result in reputational or competitive harm, legal liability, and other adverse effects on our business.
We have integrated, and plan to further integrate where appropriate, AI in our operations. Such integration and use of AI may become more important in our operations over time. These AI-related initiatives, whether successful or not, could cause us to incur substantial costs and could result in delays in our product and service offerings. Our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI into their products or operations more quickly or more successfully than we do, which could impair our ability to compete effectively. Additionally, AI algorithms may be flawed and datasets underlying AI algorithms may be insufficient or contain biased information. If the AI tools we use in our operations produce analyses or recommendations that are or are alleged to be deficient, inaccurate, or biased, our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected. Other companies have experienced cybersecurity incidents that implicate confidential and proprietary company data and/or the personal data of end users of AI applications integrated into their product offerings or used in their operations. If we were to experience a cybersecurity incident related to our use of AI applications in our operations, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. AI also presents various emerging legal, regulatory and ethical issues, and the use of AI applications in our operations could require us to expend significant resources in developing, testing and maintaining our product and service offerings and may cause us to experience brand, reputational, or competitive harm, or incur legal liability. On October 30, 2023, the Biden administration issued an Executive Order to, among other things, establish extensive new standards for AI safety and security. Other jurisdictions may decide to adopt similar or more restrictive legislation that may render the use of such technologies challenging. These restrictions may make it harder for us to conduct our business using AI, lead to regulatory fines or penalties, require us to change our business practices, or prevent or limit our use of AI.
Issues in the use of AI or machine learning in our operations may result in reputational harm or liability.
Our employees and personnel may use AI, including generative AI, and machine learning (“ML”, and collectively with AI, “AI/ML” technologies) technologies to perform their work. AI/ML is a potentially growing element of our business. The development and use of AI/ML present various privacy and security risks that may impact our business. AI/ML technologies are subject to privacy and data security laws, as well as increasing regulation and scrutiny. Several jurisdictions around the globe, including Europe and certain U.S. states, have proposed enacted, or are considering laws governing the development and use of AI/ML, such as the EU’s AI Act. We expect other jurisdictions will adopt similar laws.
AI/ML models such as those used in our employees and personnel’s performance of their work may create flawed, incomplete, or inaccurate outputs, some of which may appear correct. This may happen if the inputs that the model relied on were inaccurate, incomplete or flawed (including if a bad actor “poisons” the model with bad inputs or logic), or if the logic of the model is flawed (a so-called “hallucination”). We or our customers may also use AI/ML outputs to make certain decisions. Due to these potential inaccuracies or flaws, the model could be biased and could lead us or our customers to make decisions that could bias certain individuals (or classes of individuals), and adversely impact their rights, employment, and ability to obtain certain pricing, products, services, or benefits or decisions that are otherwise harmful. If such AI-based outputs are deemed to be biased or otherwise harmful, we could face adverse consequences, including exposure to reputational and competitive harm, customer loss, and legal liability. Additionally, any sensitive information (including confidential, competitive, proprietary, or personal data) that we input into our own or third-party generative AI/ML models or platforms could be leaked or disclosed to others. Where AI/ML models ingest personal data or other sensitive information and make connections using such data, those technologies may reveal other personal or sensitive information generated by the model.
Certain privacy laws extend rights to consumers (such as the right to delete certain personal data) and regulate automated decision making in ways that may be incompatible with our use of AI/ML. These obligations may make it harder for us to conduct our business using AI/ML, lead to regulatory fines or penalties, require us to change our business practices, retrain our AI/ML models, or prevent or limit our use of AI/ML technologies. For example, the FTC has required other companies to turn over (or disgorge) valuable insights or trainings generated through the use of AI/ML where they allege the company has violated privacy and consumer protection laws. If we cannot develop or use AI/ML or such activities are restricted, our business may be less efficient, or we may be at a competitive disadvantage. The use of AI/ML to assist us or our customers in making certain decisions may also be regulated by certain privacy laws. For additional information on risks that privacy and data protection obligations could pose to our business, see the Risk Factor titled “The laws and regulations concerning data privacy are continually evolving. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm our business.”
We operate in an intensely competitive industry, and our competitors are developing products and solutions that incorporate AI and ML. We currently do not incorporate AI/ML into our products, which could adversely affect our business and profitability.
Our competitors may be larger, more diversified, better funded, and have access to more advanced technology, including AI and ML. These competitive advantages may enable our competition to innovate their products and solutions faster or better than we can, or to provide increased competition on quality and price, which could adversely affect our business and profitability. Burgeoning interest in AI/ML may increase competition and disrupt the Company’s business model. AI/ML may lower barriers to entry in our industry and the Company may be unable to effectively compete with the products or services offered by new competitors. Changes to the products and services we offer related to AI and ML may affect customer expectations, requirements, or tastes in ways that the Company cannot adequately anticipate or adapt to, causing its business to lose revenues.
General Risk Factors
Catastrophic events may disrupt our business.
Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce, and the global economy, and thus could harm our business. We have our headquarters in Santa Monica, California, an area which in recent years has been increasingly susceptible to fires, severe weather events, and power outages, any of which could disrupt our operations, and which contains active earthquake zones. In the event of a major earthquake, hurricane, or catastrophic event such as fire, power loss, rolling blackouts or power loss, telecommunications failure, pandemic, geopolitical conflict such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Hamas’ attack against Israel and the ensuing war, cyber-attack, war, other physical security threats or terrorist attack, we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in our service offering development, lengthy interruptions in our service offerings, breaches of security, and loss of critical data, all of which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Acts of terrorism and similar events would also cause disruptions to the internet or the economy as a whole. Global climate change could also result in natural disasters occurring more frequently or with more intense effects, which could cause business interruptions. The long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery from it on society and developer, creator, and user engagement remain uncertain, and a subsequent health crisis or pandemic, as well as the actions taken by various governmental, business and individuals in response, will impact our business, operations and financial results in ways that we may not be able to accurately predict. In addition, the insurance we maintain would likely not be adequate to cover our losses resulting from disasters or other business interruptions. Our disaster recovery plan may not be sufficient to address all aspects of any unanticipated consequence or incident, we may not be able to maintain business continuity at profitable levels or at all, and our insurance may not be sufficient to compensate us for the losses that could occur.
Changes in the state of the U.S. economy, such as rising inflation and a return to volatile or recessionary conditions in the United States or abroad, and volatile global economic conditions in general, could adversely affect our business or our access to capital markets in a material manner.
To date, our principal sources of capital used to fund our operations have been the net proceeds we received from sales of equity securities and proceeds received from the issuance of convertible debt, as described herein. We have and will continue to use significant capital for the growth and development of our business, and, as such, we expect to seek additional capital either from operations or that may be available from future issuance(s) of common stock or debt financings, to fund our planned operations.
Accordingly, our results of operations and the implementation of our long-term business strategy could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy, including conditions that are outside of our control, such as the historically high levels of inflation recently experienced by the United States, Europe and other key global markets. If the inflation rate continues to increase, it will likely affect all of our expenses, including, but not limited to, employee compensation expenses and energy expenses and it may reduce consumer discretionary spending, which could affect the buying power of individuals to which our advertisers promote, developers, and creators and lead to a reduced demand for our service offerings.
Geopolitical developments, such as the war in Ukraine, Hamas’ attack against Israel and the ensuing war, and tensions with China, and the responses by central banking authorities to control inflation, can increase levels of political and economic unpredictability globally and increase the volatility of global financial markets. Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including lower consumer confidence, persistent unemployment, wage and income stagnation, slower growth or recession, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, inflation, higher interest rates, currency fluctuations, economic and trade sanctions, the availability and cost of credit, and the strength of the economies in which we and our customers are located, have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. The most recent global financial crisis caused by COVID-19 resulted in extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to our business and could have a material adverse effect on us, including limiting our ability to obtain additional capital from the capital markets. We could also be adversely affected by such factors as changes in foreign currency rates and weak economic and political conditions in each of the countries in which we operate.
Our business is subject to risks generally associated with the entertainment industry.
Our business is subject to risks that are generally associated with the entertainment industry, many of which are beyond our control. These risks could negatively impact our operating results and include the popularity, price to play, and timing of release of third-party and our own games and interactive content, economic conditions that adversely affect discretionary consumer spending, changes in user demographics, the availability and popularity of other forms of entertainment, and critical reviews and public tastes and preferences, which may change rapidly and cannot necessarily be predicted.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
Risk Management and Strategy
Our cybersecurity program encompasses functions dedicated to both proactive and reactive management of cybersecurity threats. We implement our cybersecurity program internally through maintaining cybersecurity policies; deploying updated security technologies; and using
We assess cybersecurity contingencies within our overall business continuity risk management planning process. Our information technology and information security team utilizes various technology tools to prevent, monitor, detect, and respond to cybersecurity threats. Our incident response policy outlines processes, roles, responsibilities, notifications, and other communications applicable to the assessment, mitigation, and remediation of realized cybersecurity events. The nature and scope of assessed risk of a realized cybersecurity event dictates the pace and extent of relevant processes, and communications, including an evaluation of any necessary or required disclosure. Depending on its nature and scope, a cybersecurity threat may be managed within our IT Department, responsible for day-to-day management of cybersecurity risks, and escalated to our executive management team, the Board, and the Audit Committee, as appropriate.
Governance
Our IT Department updates management on cybersecurity matters, including risk assessments, security controls, incident response procedures, employee training and Third-Party Risk Management.
As of December 31, 2025 we maintain approximately 200 square feet of office space which is leased on an annual basis at a rate of approximately $3,000 per month. We anticipate no difficulty in extending the leases of our facilities or obtaining comparable facilities in suitable locations, as needed, and we consider our facilities to be adequate for our current needs.
We may from time to time be subject to various legal or administrative claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial cost and diversion of our resources, including our management’s time and attention. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, executive officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
As of the date hereof, except as described below under “Contingencies” and Note 10, “Commitment and Contingencies,” we are not a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings.

Entry into Asset Purchase Agreement – Misfits Ads Business
On March 16, 2026, the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Misfits Purchase Agreement”) with Esports Now, LLC (“Misfits”), pursuant to which Misfits has agreed to sell certain assets strictly constituting the Misfits Ads Business (the “Misfits Purchased Assets”) to the Company, and the Company has agreed to assume certain liabilities related to the Misfits Purchased Assets (the “Misfits Transaction”).
As consideration for the Misfits Purchased Assets, the Company has agreed to pay to Misfits the following guaranteed consideration for the Misfits Purchased Assets: (A) at the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (the “Misfits Closing”): (i) a cash payment in the amount of $1.5 million (the “Misfits Closing Cash Consideration”), (ii) 71,490 shares of common stock (the “Misfits Closing Shares”), (iii) a pre-funded common stock purchase warrant to purchase 456,631 shares of common stock (the “Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant”, and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant, the “Misfits PFW Shares”), and (iv) a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 528,121 shares of common stock, with an exercise price of $18.00 (the “Misfits Warrant”, and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Misfits Warrant, the “Misfits Warrant Shares”)(the Misfits Closing Shares, the Misfits PFW Shares, and the Misfits Warrant Shares are collectively, the “Misfits Closing Share Consideration”); and (B) on the one-year anniversary of the Misfits Closing, a cash payment in the amount of $300,000 (the “Delayed Cash Payment”).
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, up to an aggregate of (i) $1.2 million in cash (the “Misfits Earnout Cash”), and (ii) 105,571 shares of common stock, or, upon the election of Misfits, Misfits Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 105,571 shares of common stock (the “Earnout Shares”, and collectively with the Misfits Earnout Cash, the “Misfits Earnout Consideration”). The Misfits Earnout Consideration will be payable to Misfits in connection with: (x) the achievement of certain gross profit milestones for the period beginning on the Misfits Closing until the date that is one (1) year from the date of the Misfits Closing; and (xi) the Company’s market capitalization as of the one and two year anniversary of the date of Misfits Closing.
The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type. Misfits and the Company have, among other things as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, agreed to take all necessary action such that, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Misfits Closing, the Company will cause a vacant seat on the Company’s Board of Directors to be filled by appointment by a designee of Misfits; provided, that such designee must be qualified to serve on a public company’s board of directors and meet the requirements of an “independent director” pursuant to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq.
The obligations of the Company and Misfits to consummate the Misfits Transaction are subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the receipt of the approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s shares present in person or represented by proxy at a stockholder meeting, to be held by the Company in order to approve the issuance of the Misfits Closing Share Consideration and, if earned, the Earnout Shares, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), (ii) receipt of any necessary regulatory approvals, (iii) receipt of all necessary consents to the assignment of certain contracts from Misfits to the Company that make up a part of the Misfits Purchased Assets, and (iv) the execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement (as more specifically set forth below).
The Purchase Agreement contains: (i) representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and Misfits that are customary for a transaction of this nature, including among others, covenants by Misfits regarding the validity of certain material contracts entered into between Misfits and third-parties being assigned to the Company, title to the Misfits Purchased Assets, the condition and sufficiency of the Misfits Purchased Assets, Misfit’s ownership and rights to its intellectual property, and the investment representations of Misfits; and (ii) customary indemnification provisions whereby Misfits will indemnify the Company for certain losses arising out of inaccuracies in, or breaches of, the representations, warranties and covenants of Misfits and certain other matters, subject to certain caps and thresholds.
Upon issuance of the Misfits Warrant at the Misfits Closing, the Misfits Warrant will entitle the holders to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock (or Misfits Pre-Funded Warrants) issued at the Misfits Closing as Misfits Closing Shares and shares underlying the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant. The Misfits Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance, expire two years from the date of issuance, and have an initial exercise price of $18.00 (the “Initial Exercise Price”), subject to adjustment for any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and similar events.
The Misfits Warrants also contain a call feature, whereby, after the Company has registered the Misfits Warrant Shares on an effective registration statement filed with the SEC, the Company has the option, but not the obligation, and in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to purchase the Misfits Warrant from the Holder at a price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock underlying the Misfits Warrant (the “Call Option”), in the event the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock, as listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, is at or above $18.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days (the “Call Trigger”). The Company’s right to exercise the Call Option will begin on the day immediately following the Call Trigger until the day that is thirty (30) calendar days thereafter, by way of delivery of a notice to exercise the Call Option to the holders of the Misfits Warrants.
Upon issuance of the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant at the Misfits Closing, the exercise price per underlying share of common stock will be $0.001. Pursuant to the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant, a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause: (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise; or (ii) the combined voting power of the Company’s securities beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% of the combined voting power of all of the Company’s securities outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant, which percentage may be changed at the holder’s election to a higher or lower percentage not in excess of 9.99% upon 61 days’ notice to the Company. In addition, in certain circumstances, upon a fundamental transaction, a holder of Misfits Pre-Funded Warrants will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrants, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that such holder would have received had they exercised the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrants immediately prior to the fundamental transaction.
At the closing of the Misfits Transaction, the Company and Misfits will enter into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which, among other matters, Misfits will be granted certain customary mandatory registration rights with respect to the Misfits Closing Shares, the Misfits Warrant Shares, and the Misfits PFW Shares.
Acquisition of Let’s Bounce, Inc.
In January 2026 the Company acquired Let’s Bounce, Inc. (“Bounce”), a marketing technology company focused on enabling scalable, measurable brand engagement inside gaming and UGC environments. The total purchase price for Bounce, which was structured as an asset acquisition, was $200,000, payable as follows: (a) $75,000 at closing; (b) $25,000 on the three-month anniversary of closing; and (c) $100,000 on the six-month anniversary of closing.

Matters Affecting Comparability
Sale of Mineville
On May 19, 2025, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Mineville Purchase Agreement”) with Mineville, LLC a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and Purchaser agreed to purchase, 100% of the membership interests (the “Interests”) of InPvP, LLC (“InPvP”). Prior to the Mineville Sale, InPvP was a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that owned and operated the Company’s Mineville digital offering. The closing of the Mineville Sale occurred simultaneously with the execution of the Mineville Purchase Agreement. The Purchaser paid cash consideration totaling $350,000 at the Mineville Closing to acquire the Interests.
The parties also agreed upon separate terms for an ongoing commercial relationship whereby the Company was granted the rights to ad sales and brand integration (the “Sales Rights”) to all of Purchaser’s Microsoft servers for a term of two years (the “Sales Term”). The Company has exclusive Sales Rights for the first year of the Sales Term, and non-exclusive Sales Rights during the second year. During the Sales Term, the revenue generated from the Sales Rights will be allocated among the Company and Purchaser as follows: (i) the Company will retain 60% of the net revenue until gross sales revenue exceeds $1.0 million; (ii) after gross sales revenue exceed $1.0 million, the Company will retain 50% of the net revenue through the remainder of the Sales Term; and (iii) if gross sales revenue exceeds $1.5 million during the Sales Term, the Sales Term shall renew automatically for one additional year on the same terms as the second year of the Sales Term.

The 2026 Amendment became effective on January 23, 2026. As a result of the 2026 Reverse Split, every 12 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock.
On June 17, 2025, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “June 2025 Amendment”) to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which became effective as of June 23, 2025, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-40 (the “2025 Reverse Split”).

Executive Summary
We believe Fiscal Year 2025 marked a pivotal step forward for Super League as we streamlined our operations, executed key financial transactions resulting in a debt-free balance sheet, launched innovative partnerships, and re-aligned the Company’s focus toward reaching sustainable growth. We remain focused on the long-term growth opportunity at the intersection of interactive entertainment and playable media, and we continue to position Super League at the forefront of this dynamic space. During Fiscal Year 2025, we continued our mission of transforming how brands engage with consumers through the power of playable media, delivering ads, content, and immersive experiences that are seen and played, and therefore remembered, across mobile games and the world’s largest immersive gaming platforms. We continued to execute with respect to our revenue diversification strategy, our focus on significantly lowering our operating cost structure, our focus on turnkey low-friction product solutions, and continued to forge new partnerships that expand our brand partner and client base.
Fiscal Year 2025 and recent corporate and operational highlights included the following:
|
● |
In Fiscal Year 2025, the Company significantly reduced its costs structure through a 55% workforce reduction, reductions in facilities, corporate costs and other cost optimizations, and restructuring of management compensation. The measures, effective primarily as of April 14, 2025 and May 1, 2025, respectively, reduced fiscal year operating costs by approximately $5.3 million for Fiscal Year 2025, compared to Fiscal Year 2024. |
|
● |
In the second half of Fiscal Year 2025, as a component of certain corporate restructuring activities, we exchanged approximately $7.4 million of existing debt for equity (common and preferred stock), extinguishing the related higher interest debt and reducing our future debt service obligations with respect to the extinguished debt, as described at Note 6. |
|
● |
In the second half of Fiscal Year 2025, we worked with our various stakeholders to (i) convert the majority of our outstanding preferred stock to common stock, and or (ii) provide a pathway for the conversion of modified classes of preferred stock to common stock in the short term. Conversion of the previous classes of preferred stock allowed us to simplify our capital structure and provides us with the flexibility to pursue growth initiatives for the business going forward. |
|
● |
Despite macro headwinds largely due to tariff uncertainty, our gross margin improved year over year to 40%, compared to 38% in Fiscal Year 2024. |
|
● |
In October 2025, we closed a $20.0 million gross private placement financing, anchored by a $10.0 million strategic equity investment from Evo Fund, an internationally recognized sponsor of companies pioneering innovative digital-asset-based business models. The financing provides the Company with a strengthened balance sheet and enhances our overall financial flexibility, creating opportunities to accelerate growth at scale. |
|
● |
Our first-to-market programs in partnership with companies such as Universal Pictures, Panda Express, and The Many on Roblox and Fortnite Creative demonstrate how we’re driving measurable brand engagement through immersive, cross-platform activations. |
|
● |
In July 2025, we expanded our strategic commercial partnership with Meta-Stadiums Corp., a pioneer in mobile-first, gamified virtual entertainment and operator of AI-powered, next-generation creator networks. This expanded collaboration supports Super League’s revenue diversification strategy and accelerates its monetization roadmap by unlocking new revenue opportunities within the TikTok creator ecosystem across content, commerce, and campaign activations. |
|
● |
In May 2025, we acquired Supersocial, an award-winning production studio and creative agency that has been a pioneer on the Roblox platform since its founding in 2020. The acquisition expanded our roster of partnerships and reinforces the Company’s mission to connect brands with passionate consumer audiences through the power of play. Supersocial’s past clients and partners include Gucci, e.l.f. Cosmetics, NARS Cosmetics, Warner Bros., Walmart, Supermodel Heidi Klum, Universal Music Group, Bandai Namco, Jon Favreau’s Fairview Portals, Innov8 Creative Academy, and Legendary Entertainment. Through the acquisition, we acquired multiple live branded games and experiences on Roblox. Super League also will offer all Supersocial partners a broad set of additional opportunities to reach targeted audiences through turnkey playable advertising and playable content, opening up additional ways for brands to connect with focused consumers exactly how they want to be engaged while playing. |
|
● |
In May 2025, we expanded our partnership with AdArcade, creators of Native Playables®, a patented mobile ad format that delivers three times higher engagement than other mobile playable ads. This exclusive relationship enables Super League to offer consumer brands and media agencies a unique, scalable, full-funnel playable solution with access to 220 million monthly US gamers. |
Native Playables are interactive ads that match the gameplay a consumer is already enjoying and are available in more than 25 popular mobile game formats. Native matching leads to higher ad performance across key metrics, with return on ad spend as high as 13x compared to standard playable ads. A brand’s video creative can also run in sync with the playable unit, ensuring consumers both watch and interact with a brand’s tested and approved messaging, logos, and iconography.
Continued expansion into mobile games is a key pillar of our revenue diversification. We believe that this partnership strengthens Super League’s ability to deliver full-funnel value - from awareness to targetable, measurable conversion - through scalable, brand-safe media. Native Playables reach audiences who play the world’s most downloaded casual and hyper-casual mobile games, further broadening Super League’s solutions for brands and agencies to engage the tens of millions of Millennials and Gen X who play, alongside the Gen Z and Gen Alpha consumers who also play Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite.
|
● |
In October 2025, we announced an exclusive sales partnership with ES3, a leading technology and media solutions company specializing in interactive content experiences for connected TV (CTV) and traditional Pay TV environments. We will serve as the exclusive third-party sales partner for INGAGE, a gamified content module that is activated through ads on CTV devices and platforms, designed to transform how brands and advertisers connect with streaming audiences. ES3’s INGAGE interactive experiential ad platform has produced notable programs with Warner Bros. Discovery’s “Superman”, Game of Thrones, HBO, MGM+ and more. This partnership combines ES3’s advanced CTV media capabilities with Super League’s track record of delivering successful advertising programs that drive results through gameplay. Together, the companies will scale access to interactive, measurable ad experiences that merge entertainment, engagement, and commerce. |
|
● |
In January 2026 the Company acquired Let’s Bounce, Inc. (“Bounce”), a marketing technology company focused on enabling scalable, measurable brand engagement inside gaming and UGC environments. The Bounce acquisition provides the Company with an existing pipeline of opportunities, enabling more efficient in-game marketing programs, the addition of turnkey loyalty solutions to drive advertiser outcomes, and a roadmap to more automated campaign measurement. |
Summary Financial Results
Revenue for Fiscal Year 2025 and 2024 totaled $11.3 million and $16.2 million, respectively, reflecting a year over year decrease of 30%. The decrease in revenue for Fiscal Year 2025 reflected a mix of industry softness in ad sales, stemming from macro environmental factors and uncertainties, including uncertainties around the impact of shifting tariff policies, consumer spending softness, continued need for market education and adoption of immersive platforms as a marketing channel, the shift of certain revenues and program start delays to future periods by advertisers, and a reduction in direct to consumer revenues due to the sale of our Minehut digital property in the first quarter of 2024, and the sale of our Mineville digital property in May 2025. Cost of revenue for Fiscal Year 2025 and 2024 was $6.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively, reflecting a year over year decrease of 33%, driven primarily by the related decrease in Fiscal Year 2025 revenues, compared to the prior year. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit for Fiscal Year 2025 was 40%, compared to a gross profit percentage of 38% for the prior year period.
Total operating expense for Fiscal Year 2025 decreased to $17.6 million, compared to $22.9 million in the comparable prior year period. Excluding noncash charges, the decrease in total operating expense reflects decreases in cloud services and other technology platform costs and decreases in personnel, marketing and other corporate costs, resulting from ongoing cost reduction and optimization activities. Excluding noncash stock compensation expense, amortization expense, intangible asset impairment charges, legal settlement charges and mark to market related fair value adjustments, operating expense for Fiscal Year 2025 was $13.1 million, compared to $18.2 million, reflecting a 28% reduction in operating expense, compared to Fiscal Year 2024.
Net loss for Fiscal Year 2025, which includes the impact of significant mark to market related credits as described below, and noncash stock compensation, and amortization, as summarized below, was $20.7 million or $(40.43) per share, compared to a net loss of $16.6 million or $(1,123.63) per share, in the comparable prior year period. The net loss per share amounts for all periods presented retrospectively reflect the impact of the 2026 Reverse Stock Split described elsewhere herein.
Net loss for Fiscal Year 2025 included the impact of significant non-cash debt related fair value mark-to-market and extinguishment charges primarily associated with our debt and capitalization table restructuring, totaling $7.2 million, respectively. The calculation of net loss per share for Fiscal Year 2025 and 2024 included net noncash common stock dividend and deemed dividend (Fiscal Year 2025) related direct charges to accumulated deficit totaling $790,000 and ($4.4 million), respectively, as described at Note 2. Excluding the impact of the noncash common stock dividend and deemed dividend related direct charges to accumulated deficit, net loss per share for Fiscal Year 2025 and 2024 was $(42.03) and $(889.19), respectively. The net loss per share amounts for all periods presented retrospectively reflect the impact of the 2026 Reverse Stock Split described elsewhere herein.
Other
Sale of Minehut
On February 29, 2024, the Company sold its Minehut business unit (“Minehut”) to GamerSafer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GamerSafer”), in a transaction approved by the Board. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into by and between GamerSafer and the Company on February 26, 2024 (the “GS Agreement”), the Company will receive $1.0 million of purchase consideration for the sale of Minehut, which amount will be paid by GamerSafer in revenue and royalty sharing over a period of two years, as described in the GS Agreement. Other than with respect to the GS Agreement, there is no relationship between the Company or its affiliates with GamerSafer or its affiliates.
The two companies maintain a commercial relationship which ensures that Minehut can remain an ongoing destination available to Super League’s partners.
Equity Financings.
See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for equity financing activities for the periods presented.
Debt Financings
See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for debt financing activities for the periods presented.
Seasonality
Our revenue fluctuates quarterly and is generally higher in the second half of our fiscal year, with the fourth quarter typically representing our highest revenue quarter each year. Advertising spending is traditionally seasonally strong in the second half of each year, reflecting the impact of seasonal back to school, game release and holiday season advertising spending by brands and advertisers. We believe that this seasonality in advertising spending affects our quarterly results, which generally reflect relatively higher advertising revenue in the second half of each year, compared to the first half of the year.

Total revenue decreased $4.8 million, or 30% to $11.3 million, compared to $16.2 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease in revenue for the periods presented reflected a mix of industry softness in ad sales, stemming from macro environmental factors and uncertainties, including uncertainties around the impact of shifting tariff policies, consumer spending softness, continued need for market education and adoption of immersive platforms as a marketing channel, the shift of certain revenues and program start delays to future periods by advertisers, a strategic decrease in lower margin influencer marketing revenues and a reduction in direct to consumer revenues due to the sale of our Minehut digital property in the first quarter of 2024 and the sale of our Mineville digital property in May 2025. |
|
|
|
|
● |
Media and advertising revenue decreased $1.1 million, or 16%, to $5.6 million, compared to $6.7 million in the comparable prior year period. The change reflected a $1.7 million strategic decrease in lower margin influencer marketing revenue and a $0.8 million decrease in on-platform related media sales revenue, partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in off-platform related media sales revenue. Revenues for Fiscal Year 2024 included $1.6 million of influencer marketing revenue from our Ubisoft/Xdefiant program. Off-platform sales revenues as a percentage of total revenue for Fiscal years 2025 and 2024 were 46% and 16%, respectively, reflecting the impact of our strategic focus on diversifying our revenue streams and related opportunities. |

|
|
|
|
● |
Direct to consumer revenue decreased $566,000, or 64%, to $313,000, compared to $879,000 in the comparable prior year period, primarily reflecting the impact of the sale of our Minehut digital property in the first quarter of 2024 and the sale of our Mineville digital property in May 2025, which prior to the sale, generated direct to consumer Minecraft related digital goods revenues for the Company. |
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenue includes direct costs incurred in connection with the satisfaction of performance obligations under our revenue arrangements including internal and third-party engineering, creative, content, broadcast and other personnel, talent and influencers, internal and third-party game developers, third-party ad-platform, content capture and production services, direct marketing, cloud services, software, prizing, and revenue sharing fees. Cost of revenue fluctuates period to period based on the specific programs and revenue streams contributing to revenue each period and the related cost profile of our physical and digital experiences, media and advertising campaigns and publishing and content studio sales activities occurring each period.
Cost of revenue decreased $3.3 million, or 33%, driven primarily by the 30% decrease in related revenues for the fiscal year periods presented. The greater than proportional change in cost of revenue was primarily due to the impact of the strategic 62% decrease in influencer marketing revenues in the current period, which generally have a higher average direct cost profile and lower margins.

|
● |
Concurrent with the cancellation of the awards outstanding under the 2014 Plan, as described and defined in Note 2, the Board approved the issuance of 7,367 equity awards under the 2025 Plan, comprised of 3,342 stock options and 4,025 RSUs to employees with the following general terms: 1) exercise price of $60.96 per share for stock options, 2) shares of common stock associated with all RSUs valued at $60.96 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, and 3) RSU and Option grants to vest at the rate of 1/24th per month in arrears (“2025 Exchanged Awards”).
Unrecognized compensation expense related to the awards cancelled under the 2014 Plan totaled $443,000 which is being recognized prospectively over the remaining modified service period of two years.

Amortization expense for Fiscal Year 2025 decreased due primarily to a $211,000 reduction reflecting the completion of amortization (amortization period ended in the fourth quarter of 2024) of intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of Super Biz in October 2021, and a $146,000 reduction in amortization expense related to the sale of our Minehut assets in the first quarter of 2024, as described below. Fiscal Year 2024 amortization expense also included the acceleration of amortization related to a noncore digital asset totaling $133,000.
Selling, Marketing and Advertising
Selling, marketing and advertising expense decreased $2.3 million or 23%, primarily due to a $3.1 million, or 31% reduction in selling, marketing and advertising personnel costs in connection with the Second Quarter 2025 Headcount Reductions and ongoing cost optimization activities during Fiscal Year 2025, and a $107,000 decrease in amortization expense. The decrease was partially offset by a $509,000, or 36% reduction in selling, marketing and advertising personnel costs allocated to cost of revenue, consistent with the decrease in revenues for the periods presented, and credits reflected during Fiscal Year 2024 related to influencer marketing expense related estimates recorded in prior periods.
Engineering, Technology and Development
For the periods presented, components of our platform are available on a “free to use,” “always on basis,” and are utilized and offered as an audience acquisition tool, as a means of growing our audience, engagement, viewership, players and community. Engineering, technology and development related operating expense include the costs described below, incurred in connection with our audience acquisition and viewership expansion activities. Engineering, technology and development related operating expense includes (i) allocated internal engineering personnel expense, including salaries, noncash stock compensation, taxes and benefits, (ii) third-party contract software development and engineering expense, (iii) internal use software cost amortization expense, and (iv) technology platform related cloud services, broadband and other platform expense, incurred in connection with our audience acquisition and viewership expansion activities, including tools and product offering development, testing, minor upgrades and features, free to use services, corporate information technology and general platform maintenance and support. Capitalized internal use software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the software’s estimated useful life.
Engineering, technology and development costs decreased $1.5 million, or 35%, driven primarily by a reduction in product and engineering personnel expense totaling $1.5 million, or 50%, reflecting the impact of Second Quarter 2025 Headcount Reductions and a decrease in cloud services and other technology platform costs totaling $317,000, or 40%, relating to additional cost reduction activities, including the sale of our Minehut and Mineville digital assets, as described herein. The decrease was partially offset by a $688,000, or 82% decrease in engineering personnel costs allocated to cost of revenue, due in part to the decrease in revenues for the periods presented, and a reduction in capitalized internal use software cost during Fiscal Year 2025.

A summary of the main drivers of the change in general and administrative expense for the periods presented is as follows:
|
● |
Personnel and facilities costs decreased due to a reduction in various corporate, general and administrative costs in connection with the Second Quarter 2025 Headcount Reductions and ongoing cost reduction and optimization activities. |
|
● |
Noncash stock compensation expense increased primarily due to $63,000 of incremental expense recognized immediately in the statement of operations related to the vested portion of the 2025 Exchanged Awards, as described at Note 2. In addition, the increase reflects a $753,000 increase in noncash stock compensation expense incurred in connection with the utilization of third-party investor relations and other consultants, partially offset by a net reduction related to headcount reductions and the ending of amortization periods for equity awards granted in prior periods. |
|
● |
Amortization expense decreased due primarily to the completion of amortization, in the fourth quarter of 2024, of developer relationship related intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of Super Biz in October 2021, prior to January 1, 2025. |
|
● |
The decrease in other expense was primarily due to a reduction in information technology, insurance and other corporate costs in connection with ongoing cost reduction activities. In addition, other expense for Fiscal Year 2024 included a noncash legal settlement charge incurred in connection with the Pioneer Settlement, described above, comprised of $516,000 of noncash expense in connection with the issuance of 1,146 shares of common stock to Pioneer, and a noncash incremental fair value charge totaling $283,000, related to Pioneer AA AIRs, which were modified to include a reduction in conversion price and an extension of the exercise term in May 2024, as described at Note 10. Other expense for Fiscal Year 2024 also included a $164,000 noncash legal settlement charge related to the adjustment of the estimated fair value (i.e. mark-to-market), as of the issuance date, for common stock issued pursuant to the 2022 Note Holder Settlement Agreement, as described at Note 10. |
Other Income (Expense)
Sale of Mineville
On May 19, 2025, the Company entered into the Mineville Purchase Agreement with Mineville, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and Purchaser agreed to purchase 100% of the Interests of InPvP for cash consideration totaling $350,000, as described earlier in this Report. The net carrying value of Mineville assets sold totaled $350,000 as of May 19, 2025, which historically were included in intangible assets, net in the balance sheets, resulting in no gain or loss in connection with the Mineville Sale.
Gain on Sale of Minehut Assets
On February 29, 2024, the Company sold its Minehut Assets to GamerSafer in a transaction approved by the Board. Pursuant to the GS Agreement entered into by and between Super League and GamerSafer, the Company received $1.0 million of purchase consideration for the Minehut Assets, which amount was paid by GamerSafer in revenue and royalty sharing over a multiple-year period, as described in the GS Agreement. The transaction allows Super League to streamline its position in partnering with major brands to build, market, and operate 3D experiences across multiple immersive platforms, including open gaming powerhouses like Minecraft, and aligns with the Company’s cost improvement initiatives. Super League and GamerSafer will maintain a commercial relationship which ensures that Minehut can remain an ongoing destination available to Super League’s partners. The carrying value of Minehut related assets totaled $475,000 as of February 26, 2024, comprised of total carrying costs of $1,671,000, net of accumulated amortization of $1,196,000, and historically were included in intangible assets, net in the balance sheets.
The Company recorded a receivable for the total estimated Minehut Purchase Consideration totaling $619,000 and recognized an initial gain on sale of the Minehut Assets totaling $144,000, which is included in other income in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Minehut Purchase Consideration in the GS Agreement was variable pursuant to the guidance set forth in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606. Under ASC 606, purchase consideration is variable if the amount the Company will receive is contingent on future events occurring or not occurring, even though the amount itself is fixed. As such, the Company estimated the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled, in exchange for transferring the Minehut Assets to GamerSafer, utilizing the expected value method which is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration outcomes over the applicable contractual payment period, resulting in an estimated receivable of $619,000. Amounts collected in excess of the estimated purchase consideration recorded at contract inception, up to the $1.0 million stated contractual amount of purchase consideration, are recognized as additional gains on the sale of Minehut Assets when realized. Additional gains on the sale of the Minehut Assets subsequent to the initial accounting for the transaction for Fiscal Year 2025 and 2024 totaled $343,000 and $39,000, respectively. From the date of sale of the Minehut Assets through December 31, 2025, the Company calculated royalties due from GamerSafer, applied against the Minehut Purchase Consideration receivable pursuant to the GS Agreement, totaling $1,000,000.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities
Original YP Warrant
The initial fair value of the Original YP Warrant, totaling $1,935,000, was classified as a liability in the balance sheets, and was remeasured at fair value at each balance date. The change in fair value of the Original YP Warrant for Fiscal Year 2025 totaled $255,000 which is reflected in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The fair value of the Original YP Warrant during the applicable period was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions: expected volatility of 40%; risk free interest rate range of 3.66% - 3.88%; and expected life range of 3.83 - 4.0 years.
In conjunction with the Company’s October 2025 shareholder meeting, shareholders approved the issuance of the shares underlying the Original YP Warrant as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). As such, the fair value of the Original YP Warrant on the approval date totaling $1,679,000 was reclassified to equity, and therefore, subsequent to October 20, 2025 the Original YP Warrant was no longer required to be marked to market.
Series AAA Junior -3 and Series AAA Junior – 4 Warrants
The Series AAA Junior-3 and Series AAA Junior-4 subscription agreements entered into in September 2024, included the sale of an aggregate of 1,096 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one share of newly designated Series AAA-3 Junior Convertible Preferred Stock or Series AAA-4 Junior Convertible Preferred Stock, as reflected in the table above, and (ii) a warrant to purchase 3 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $1,096,000.
As described at Note 7, the September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants do not meet the requirements for equity classification, and therefore, the fair value of the September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The change in fair value for the September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants for the Fiscal Years 2025 and 2024 totaled ($346,000) and $2,000, respectively.
Placement Agent Warrants
As described at Note 7, the Placement Agent Warrants issued in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock, Series AA Preferred Stock and Series AAA Preferred Stock (including the Exchange) are not eligible for the scope exception under ASC 815, and therefore, the fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The change in fair value for the Placement Agent Warrants for the Fiscal Years 2025 and 2024 totaled ($581,000) and ($1.1 million), respectively.
Interest expense, including change in fair value of promissory notes carried at fair value
Interest expense, including change in fair value of promissory notes carried at fair value, primarily reflects the change in fair value of debt accounted for under the fair value option (“FVO”) as described at Note 2, including the incremental fair value changes recorded in connection with the exchange of debt accounted for under the FVO for equity securities of the Company as described at Note 6, and interest expense incurred on other notes outstanding during the periods presented. Interest expense, including change in fair value of promissory notes carried at fair value for the periods presented, was comprised of the following:

Loss on Extinguishment of Liabilities
Super Biz Notes
On July 8, 2025, the Company entered into the SB Exchange Agreements as described at Note 5, pursuant to which the Company and Khakshoor, Drozdov and Firepit (collectively, the “SB Note Holders”) agreed that in exchange for the surrender and forgiveness of the Super Biz Notes, with an aggregate principal and interest balance of $1.9 million, the SB Note Holders were issued 1,896,964 shares of the Company’s Series AAAA Jr. Convertible Preferred Stock. The July 8, 2025 exchange of the Super Biz Notes for shares of the Company’s Series AAAA Junior Preferred Stock was accounted for as an extinguishment of the related promissory note, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of liability of $161,000, included in the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In August 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Founders in connection with the remaining Super Biz Second Earn Out Period accrued contingent consideration outstanding, with a principal amount totaling approximately $1.8 million (“Super Biz Note”). Interest accrued on the outstanding principal at the rate of 8.5% per annum.
In addition, in connection with the issuance of the Super Biz Note the Company issued 547 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Founders, valued at $336,000, based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of issuance of the promissory note.
The issuance of the Super Biz Note in exchange for the related accrued contingent consideration balance was accounted for as an extinguishment of the original liability due to the fact that the present value of the cash flows under the terms of Super Biz Note was determined to be at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original obligation. As a result, a gain on extinguishment totaling $336,000 was recorded in the statement of operations, and credited to additional paid-in capital (included in “Other” in the statement of stockholder’s equity), for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily comprised of the fair value of the 547 shares of restricted stock (based on closing price of our common stock on the date of issuance of the Super Biz Note) to be issued, as described above.
Agile II Note
On July 10, 2025, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “Agile Exchange Agreement”) with Agile, pursuant to which the Company and Agile agreed that in exchange for the surrender and forgiveness of the Agile II Note, dated February 7, 2025, with the remaining amount of principal and interest thereunder being $1,331,250, Agile received (a) 3,678 shares of common stock (the “Agile Exchange Shares”), (b) pre-funded warrants to purchase 14,419 shares of common stock (the “Agile Pre-Funded Warrants”, and collectively with the Agile Exchange Shares, the “Agile Exchange Securities”), with the Agile Exchange Securities valued at a price of $68.04, such amount above the Nasdaq Minimum Price, and (c) four equal cash payments of $25,000 to Agile, totaling $100,000, beginning on July 10, 2025, and every seven days thereafter.
The July 10, 2025 exchange of the balance of the Agile II Note for shares of the Company’s Common Stock was accounted for as an extinguishment of the Agile II Note, resulting in the derecognition of the related liability and the recording of the fair value of the equity securities exchanged on the date of settlement. The Agile II Note was accounted for under the FVO, and therefore, the carrying amount of the Agile II Note immediately prior to settlement represented its fair value at the settlement date. The fair value of the common stock and cash payments exceeded the fair value of the Agile II Note on the date of the exchange resulting in a loss on extinguishment of a liability totaling $256,000, which is included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations.
Belleau Wood Note
Effective October 22, 2025, the Company and Belleau Wood Capital, LP (“Belleau”) entered into an exchange agreement (the “Belleau Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and Belleau agreed (a) to convert the remaining principal amount of $1.0 million due under the Belleau Note into 83,334 shares of Common Stock, valued at $12.00 per share, simultaneous with the close of the October 2025 PIPE (the “Note Exchange Consideration”), and (b) issue Belleau a common stock purchase warrant to purchase the sum of 10,417 shares of Common Stock, in form similar to the PIPE Warrants (the “Belleau Warrants”), except the warrants will be exercisable for a period of two (2) years.
The exchange of the remaining balance of the Belleau Note for common stock and common stock purchase warrants, as described above, was accounted for as an exchange of debt for equity, resulting in a loss on exchange totaling $1,871,000, reflected in other income (expense) in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Belleau Note was accounted for under the FVO, and therefore, the carrying amount of the Belleau Note immediately prior to the exchange represented its fair value at the exchange date. The fair value of the Belleau Warrants was estimated utilizing Black-Scholes, with inputs including: term of 2 years, stock price of $31.20, volatility of 93% and risk free interest rate of 3.45%
Related Party Promissory Note
On July 7, 2025, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with the Michael Keller Trust (the “Trust”) (“RP Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and the Trust agreed that in exchange for the surrender and forgiveness of RP Note, with the principal and interest thereon being equal to $1,878,082, the Trust would be granted (a) 1,500,000 shares of Series AAAA Jr. Convertible Preferred Stock, and (b) cash payments totaling $378,000, such payments to be made in equal monthly installments of approximately $63,000, commencing on October 15, 2025, and concluding on March 15, 2026 (the “Trust Agreement”).
The July 7, 2025 exchange of the balance of the RP Note for shares of the Company’s Series AAAA Junior Preferred Stock was accounted for as an extinguishment of the RP Note, resulting in the derecognition of the related liability and the recording of the fair value of the Series AAAA Jr. Preferred Stock exchanged on the date of settlement. The RP Note was accounted for under the FVO, and therefore, the carrying amount of the RP Note immediately prior to settlement represented its fair value at the settlement date, resulting in a loss on extinguishment totaling $26,000. The $378,000 of accrued cash payments were included as a component of the change in fair value of the RP Note for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations.
Yield Point Convertible Note
Effective October 22, 2025, the Company and Yield Point entered into an exchange agreement (the “YP Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and Yield Point would, on a date no earlier than ten (10) business days after the effectiveness of the YP Exchange Agreement, exchange up to 100% of unconverted and unpaid principal and interest under the YP Note, for: (i) that number of shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock; (ii) common stock purchase warrants to purchase 166,667 shares of Common Stock, on terms substantially similar to the PIPE Warrants, at an initial exercise price of $12.00 per share subject to adjustment as set forth therein (the “YP Exchange Warrant”); and (iii) the cancellation of all remaining common stock purchase warrants previously issued to Yield Point in connection with the sale to Yield Point of the YP Note, dated July 10, 2025 (“YP Note Exchange”). In addition, during the 10-day period from the effective date of the YP Exchange Agreement, Yield Point converted $1,953,000 of the outstanding principal balance under the YP Note, resulting in the issuance of 136,834 shares of common stock to Yield Point upon conversion, and the Company repaid in cash and additional $1,500,000 of outstanding principal on the YP Note. As a result, the remaining balance under the YP Note as of the YP Note Exchange date was $1,153,000.
The exchange of the remaining balance of the YP Note for Series C Preferred stock, as described above, was accounted for as an exchange of debt for equity, resulting in a loss on exchange totaling $196,000, reflected in other income (expense) in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The exchange of the Original YP Warrant for the YP Exchange Warrant, as described above, was accounted for as a modification of the Original YP Warrant, resulting in a loss on extinguishment totaling $1,459,000 reflected in other income (expense) in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Debt Issuance Costs
Other income (expense), net for Fiscal Year 2025 included debt issuance costs paid totaling $554,000, respectively, in connection with the issuance of the YP Note, Agile II Note, Diagonal I Note, and Diagonal II Note, as described at Note 6.
(Provision) Benefit for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes for Fiscal Year 2024, totaling $161,000, reflects noncash tax expense recorded in connection with the tax treatment of changes in contingent consideration payable as of December 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $14.4 million and $1.3 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had working capital and an accumulated deficit balance as reflected on the balance sheet provided herein. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred net losses, and cash outflows from operating activities as reflected in the accompanying statements of operations and cash flows, respectively. The change in cash and cash equivalents for the periods presented reflects the impact of operating, investing and financing cash flow related activities, as described below.
Improved Liquidity Due to Third and Fourth Quarter 2025 Restructuring Activities and Equity Financing
Equity Financing
The Company completed an equity financing, defined below as the October 2025 PIPE, totaling $20.0 million in gross proceeds ($18.5 million in proceeds net of offering costs), as described at Note 7. The proceeds provide significant working capital and liquidity to fund operations and meet the Company’s obligations as they arise. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the October 2025 PIPE for repayment of existing indebtedness totaling $1.5 million (refer to Note 6), implementation of a new corporate strategy, general corporate purposes and working capital.
Conversions of Debt to Equity
During the third and fourth quarters of 2025, holders of an aggregate of approximately $7.4 million of the Company’s outstanding promissory notes exchanged or converted such notes into either common stock or preferred stock of the Company pursuant to (i) executed exchange agreements, or (ii) the existing conversion terms set forth in the underlying promissory note agreements. As a result, the Company eliminated approximately $7.4 million of principal and accrued interest obligations that would otherwise have required cash settlement in future periods, eliminating the Company’s debt obligations and related future cash commitments. Refer to Notes 5 and Note 6 for additional information regarding the exchange or conversion of debt for equity during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Operating Cost Reductions
Since approximately May 2024, the Company implemented a number of operating expense reduction initiatives designed to decrease future operating cash outflow requirements. These actions included workforce optimization, vendor contract renegotiations, reduced discretionary spending, and restructuring of non-core activities. Excluding noncash charges, these operating expense reductions resulted in a decrease in operating expense of approximately 28% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
Considerations as of the Date of Issuance of Financial Statements
In connection with preparing the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, management evaluated whether conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, in accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”).
Based on, (i) cash and cash equivalents on hand as of the issuance date of these financial statements, (ii) net proceeds from the equity financings completed as of December 31, 2025, (iii) elimination of future cash obligations resulting from the conversion of debt into equity, and (iv) realized reductions in operating expense, management believes that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they become due for at least the twelve-month period following the issuance date of these financial statements as contemplated by ASC 205-40.

Equity Financings - Common Stock Issuances - Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2025
October 2025 PIPE Transaction
On October 22, 2025, October 24, 2025 and October 27, 2025, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “PIPE Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), relating to the Company’s offering of an aggregate of (a) 332,084 shares (the “PIPE Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, at a price per share equal to $12.00 and (b) Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 1,334,584 shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants”) at a price per PIPE Pre-Funded Warrant equal to same price as that for PIPE Shares minus $0.00001, and the remaining exercise price of each PIPE Pre-Funded Warrant will equal $0.00001 per share, for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $20,000,000, before deducting offering costs and expenses (“October 2025 PIPE”). For each one PIPE Share or PIPE Pre-Funded Warrant purchased in the Offering, each Purchaser also received Common Stock Purchase Warrants (“PIPE Warrants”), to purchase one share of Common Stock (“PIPE Warrant Shares”), with an exercise price of $144.00 per share. The PIPE Shares, PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants and PIPE Warrants sold in the Offering are sometimes hereafter referred to as, the “PIPE Securities.” The October 2025 PIPE, which was comprised of three separate closings, had a final close date of October 27, 2025. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for repayment of existing indebtedness totaling $1.5 million, implementation of a new corporate strategy, general corporate purposes and working capital. In connection with the consummation of the October 2025 PIPE, the Company issued additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of 766,667 shares of common stock to certain designees of the Lead Investor (as defined in the PIPE Placement Agreement) (“PIPE Lead Warrants”), as approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The Company and the Purchasers also executed a registration rights agreement (the “PIPE RRA”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the PIPE Shares, the shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants (the “PFW Shares”), and the PIPE Warrant Shares within thirty (30) days following the date of the issuance of the PIPE Securities, and to cause the PIPE RRA to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), no later than 90 days after the date on which the Purchase Agreements were entered.
The PIPE Warrants entitle the holders to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock (or PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants) purchased in the Offering. The PIPE Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance, expire five years from the date of issuance, and have an initial exercise price of $12.00 (the “Initial Exercise Price”), subject to adjustment in the event of any Warrant Dilutive Issuance (as defined below), or any stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, and similar events (the Initial Exercise Price as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms of the PIPE Warrant is referred to as, the “Exercise Price”).
The anti-dilution adjustments to the Exercise Price set forth that if the Company sells any shares of Common Stock or any securities of the Company that would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock, for effective consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such sale (the foregoing a “Warrant Dilutive Issuance”), then simultaneously with the consummation (or, if earlier, the announcement) of such Warrant Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the higher of (i) the New Issuance Price or (ii) the Warrant Floor Price (as defined below), provided, however, that no Exempt Issuance (as defined in the PIPE Warrants) shall be considered a Warrant Dilutive Issuance. The “Warrant Floor Price” means $6.84, such amount representing 20% of the Nasdaq Minimum Price of $34.20 on the date the Purchase Agreements were executed (the “PIPE Purchase Date”) (which price shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction).
The PIPE Warrants also contain a call feature, whereby, after the Company has registered the PIPE Warrant Shares on an effective registration statement filed with the SEC, the Company has the option, but not the obligation, and in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to purchase the PIPE Warrant from the Holder at a price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock underlying the PIPE Warrant (the “Call Option”), in the event the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock, as listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, is at or above $36.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days (the “Call Trigger”). The Company’s right to exercise the Call Option will begin on the day immediately following the Call Trigger until the day that is thirty (30) calendar days thereafter, by way of delivery of a notice to exercise the Call Option to the holders of the PIPE Warrants.
On October 22, 2025, the Company and Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”), entered into a Placement Agency Agreement (the “PIPE Placement Agreement”), pursuant to which Aegis acted as our exclusive placement agent in connection with the October 2025 PIPE. Pursuant to the PIPE Placement Agreement, the placement commission will be (I) (a) 2.0% for investments made by the Lead Investor (as defined in the PIPE Placement Agreement), and (b) 9.0% for all PIPE Securities placed by Aegis, excluding Lead Investor; (II) if investments placed by Aegis equal $5 million or more, the Company will pay Aegis an additional fee of $125,000; (III) Aegis will also receive a fee of 9.0% of the proceeds from the cash exercise of any warrants purchased by investors, excluding the Lead Investor, in each case payable on exercise; and (IV) as additional compensation for Aegis’s services, the Company shall issue to Aegis or its designees at the consummation of the October 2025 PIPE, warrants (the “PIPE Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to 5.0% of the aggregate number of PIPE Shares and PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the Placement other than to the Lead Investor. The Placement Agent Warrants will be exercisable at any time beginning and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the five (5) years commencing on the commencement of sales in the Placement, at a price per share equal to 100.0% of the offering price per share of the PIPE Securities sold in the October 2025 PIPE and such Placement Agent Warrants shall be exercisable on a cash basis or cashless basis.
The Company allocated the proceeds between the PIPE Securities based on the relative fair values of the PIPE Securities in accordance with ASC 505, “Equity.” The fair value of the common stock was based on the Company’s closing stock price on the respective closing dates, ranging from $22.20 per share to $31.20 per share.
The October 2025 PIPE proceeds, and related offering costs were allocated to the PIPE Securities issued as follows:

The amounts allocated to the PIPE Pre-Funded warrants and PIPE Warrants was recorded in Additional Paid-In Capital as the PIPE Warrants and PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants are equity-classified.
Offering costs, including placement agent fees, legal fees and accountant related expenses were recorded as a reduction to Additional Paid-In Capital in proportion to the allocation of proceeds between the equity instruments issued, as summarized above.

Exchange of Series AA, AAA and AAA Junior Preferred Stock for Series B Preferred Stock
On September 12, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended & Restated Exchange Agreement, Consent and Waiver (the “2025 AB Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders (the “2025 Exchange Preferred Stockholders”) of the Company’s Series AA, AAA and AAA Junior Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“2025 Exchanged Preferred Stock”), pursuant to which the Company and the 2025 Exchange Preferred Stockholders agreed that in exchange for the shares of 2025 Exchanged Preferred Stock held by the 2025 Exchange Preferred Stockholders, the 2025 Exchange Preferred Stockholders were granted shares of the Company’s newly issued Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“2025 Exchange”). Up to an aggregate of 16,426 shares of Series B Preferred were issuable pursuant to the 2025 AB Exchange Agreements.
In connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the 2025 Exchange Preferred Stockholders, among other things: (i) agreed to terminate their additional investment rights, or AIRs, granted to them in their respective subscription agreements; (ii) waived any issuances by the Company of securities below the respective prior conversion price floors prior to the Exchange; (iii) waived any incurrence of indebtedness by the Company prior to the Exchange; (iv) agreed, for a period of six months following the date of the Exchange Agreements, to attend any annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders and vote their shares in accordance with management’s recommendation; and (v) provided a general release of the Company from any obligations that may exist under the terms of the Preferred Stock.
The 2025 Exchange was accounted for as an extinguishment of the 2025 Exchanged Preferred Stock, and therefore the difference between the fair value of the new / modified preferred stock and the carrying value of the original preferred stock, totaling $7,685,000, was recognized as a decrease to accumulated deficit and a decrease in additional-paid-in capital in the balance sheet, as a deemed dividend.
On October 20, 2025, the Company issued certain common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of 194,422 shares of Common Stock (the “Series B Warrants”) to the holders of shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Holders”) (“Series B Preferred Modification”). Each Series B Warrant has an exercise price per share equal to $12.00 (the “Series B Exercise Price”). The Series B Warrants will be available for exercise only upon the first trading day following the one year anniversary of the Company’s issuance of the Series B Warrants, unless prior written approval is received from the Company during such one-year period, as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Warrant Stockholder Approval” and the first trading day following the one year anniversary of the Company’s receipt of Warrant Stockholder Approval being, the “Series B Warrant Initial Exercise Date”).
Each Series B Warrant offered will become exercisable beginning on the Series B Warrant Initial Exercise Date at the Series B Exercise Price, and will expire on the date that is one year from the Series B Warrant Initial Exercise Date, subject to the right to exercise during such one-year period with the prior written approval of the Company; provided that holders of the Series B Warrants will have the right to exercise their Series B Warrants during the time beginning on date the Company receives the Warrant Stockholder Approval and the Series B Warrant Initial Exercise Date in the event of a change of Control or other fundamental change (each as defined in the Series B Warrant).
The Series B Preferred Modification was accounted for as an extinguishment of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, and therefore the difference between the fair value of the new / modified preferred stock and the carrying value of the original preferred stock, totaling $6,296,000, was recognized as an increase to accumulated deficit and an increase in additional-paid-in capital in the balance sheet, as a deemed dividend.
Direct costs incurred in connection with the Series B Preferred Modification included the issuance of 29,167 common stock purchase warrants to the placement agent, with terms and conditions identical to PIPE Warrants, with a fair value of $945,000, which are recorded as a reduction to additional-paid-in-capital in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.

The July 10, 2025 exchange of the balance of the Agile II Note for shares of the Company’s Common Stock was accounted for as an extinguishment of the Agile II Note, resulting in the derecognition of the related liability and the recording of the fair value of the equity securities and other assets exchanged on the date of settlement. The Agile II Note was accounted for under the FVO, and therefore, the carrying amount of the Agile II Note immediately prior to settlement represented its fair value at the settlement date. The fair value of the common stock and cash payments exceeded the fair value of the Agile II Note on the date of the exchange resulting in a loss on extinguishment of a liability totaling $256,000, which is included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations.
1800 Diagonal Lending I
On March 26, 2025 (the “Diagonal Effective Date”), the Company and 1800 Diagonal Lending, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company, or registered assignees (“Diagonal”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Diagonal Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Diagonal Note”) in the principal amount of $300,000 (the “Diagonal Principal”), for which the Diagonal Note, among other things, (a) matured on December 30, 2025 (unless otherwise accelerated upon an Event of Default (as defined below)) (the “Diagonal Maturity Date”), (b) accrued interest at a rate of 10% per annum on the unpaid principal balance from the date the Diagonal Note was issued (the “Diagonal Issuance Date”) until the principal and interest became due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date or upon acceleration by prepayment or otherwise, (c) began to accrue interest on the Diagonal Issuance Date but was not payable until the Diagonal Note became payable, and (d) interest accrued at a rate of 22% per annum for any amount of principal or interest which is not paid as required under the Diagonal Note, or during an Event of Default.

Belleau Note Purchase Agreement
On March 28, 2025 (the “Belleau Effective Date”), we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Belleau Purchase Agreement”) with Belleau Wood Capital, LP, or its assignees, (“Belleau”). Pursuant to the Belleau Purchase Agreement, the Company will issue to Belleau a total of three Unsecured Promissory Notes (each, a “Belleau Note” and collectively, the “Belleau Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Belleau Principal”). Each of the Belleau Notes: (x) matured on the date that was 12 months from the date of the issuance of each respective Belleau Note (collectively, the “Belleau Maturity Date”); (y) may be prepaid in part or in full at any time by the Company without penalty; and (z) accrued interest at a rate of 20% simple interest per annum (the “Belleau Interest Rate”, and the dollar value of the accrued interest, the “Belleau Interest”). The Company used the proceeds from the sale of the Belleau Notes for working capital and general corporate purposes. Refer to Note 6 for additional details.
The Belleau Interest that accrued on each respective Belleau Note was payable on each respective Belleau Maturity Date in the form of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 20% of the Belleau Principal, calculated at a price per share of $168.00. In the event of a prepayment of any Belleau Note by the Company, the Belleau Interest would be payable in full at the time of such prepayment.
On August 11, 2025, the Company and Belleau entered into an Amended & Restated Unsecured Promissory Note, pursuant to which the Belleau Principal was reduced to $1,250,000. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repaid $250,000 of principal on the Belleau Note. Refer to Note 6 for additional information.
In September 2025, the Company prepaid $250,000 of principal on the Belleau Note.
Effective October 22, 2025, the Company and Belleau Wood Capital, LP (“Belleau”) entered into an exchange agreement (the “Belleau Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and Belleau agreed (a) to convert the remaining principal amount of $1.0 million due under the Belleau Note into 83,334 shares of Common Stock, valued at $12.00 per share, simultaneous with the close of the October 2025 PIPE (the “Note Exchange Consideration”), and (b) issue Belleau a common stock purchase warrant to purchase the sum of 10,417 shares of Common Stock, in form similar to the PIPE Warrants (the “Belleau Warrants”), except the warrants will be exercisable for a period of two (2) years.
The exchange of the remaining balance of the Belleau Note for common stock and common stock purchase warrants, as described above, was accounted for as an exchange of debt for equity, resulting in a loss on exchange totaling $1,871,000, reflected in other income (expense) in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Belleau Note was accounted for under the FVO, and therefore, the carrying amount of the Belleau Note immediately prior to the exchange represented its fair value at the exchange date. The fair value of the Belleau Warrants was estimated utilizing Black-Scholes, with inputs including: term of 2 years, stock price of $31.20, volatility of 93% and risk free interest rate of 3.45%.
Related Party Promissory Note
On November 19, 2024 (the “RP Effective Date”), we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “RP Purchase Agreement”) with a non-employee member of the Board (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the RP Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to the Purchaser an Unsecured Promissory Note (the “RP Note”) in the amount of $1,500,000 (the “RP Principal”), for which the RP Note (i) matured on the date that was 12 months from the RP Effective Date (the “RP Maturity Date”), (ii) may be pre-paid at any time by the Company without penalty, and (iii) accrued interest on the RP Principal at a rate of 40% simple interest per annum (the “RP Interest”). The RP Interest was payable on the RP Maturity Date. In the event of a prepayment of the RP Note by the Company, the RP Interest would be pro-rated for the period the RP Note was outstanding. The Company utilized the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. Refer to Note 6 for additional details.
On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the RP Note (the “RP Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment: (a) the maturity date of the RP Note was extended to November 19, 2026; (b) beginning on November 19, 2025, interest no longer accrued on the remaining Principal outstanding; and (c) the Company agreed to make monthly payments of $175,000, with such payments to start on November 19, 2025, and continue thereafter for twelve months, at which time the RP Note would be paid in full.
On July 7, 2025, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with the Purchaser (“RP Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and the Purchaser agreed that in exchange for the surrender and forgiveness of RP Note, with the principal and interest thereon being equal to $1,878,082, the Purchaser would be granted (a) 1,500,000 shares of Series AAAA Jr. Convertible Preferred Stock, and (b) cash payments totaling $378,000, such payments to be made in equal monthly installments of approximately $63,000, commencing on October 15, 2025, and concluding on March 15, 2026 (the “Trust Agreement”).
The July 7, 2025 exchange of the balance of the RP Note for shares of the Company’s Series AAAA Junior Preferred Stock was accounted for as an extinguishment of the RP Note, resulting in the derecognition of the related liability and the recording of the fair value of the Series AAAA Jr. Preferred Stock exchanged on the date of settlement. The RP Note was accounted for under the FVO, and therefore, the carrying amount of the RP Note immediately prior to settlement represented its fair value at the settlement date, resulting in a loss on extinguishment totaling $26,000. The $378,000 of accrued cash payments were included as a component of the change in fair value of the RP Note for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations.
Yield Point Convertible Note
On July 10, 2025, the Company and Yield Point NY, LLC (the “Yield Point”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell up to (i) an aggregate principal amount of $4,494,382 in 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes, maturing eighteen (18) months after the issue date, with original issue discount of 11%, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $81.78 per share, and if not converted then amortized over the final twelve (12) months concluding on the maturity date (“YP Notes”), and (ii) common stock purchase warrants to purchase 54,998 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $64.33 per share (the “Original YP Warrant”) (the “Offering”) (the YP Purchase Agreement”). The Company received $4,000,000 in gross proceeds from the Offering. The Company used the proceeds from the YP Notes for working capital and general corporate purposes. Refer to Note 6 for additional details.
The Original YP Warrant entitled the holders to purchase 54,998 shares of common stock, respectively. The Original YP Warrant was exercisable immediately and had a term of four years. The Original YP Warrant had an exercise price of $64.33 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth therein.
The terms of each of the YP Notes and the Original YP Warrant provided for anti-dilution protection for issuances of common stock at a price per share less than the price equal to the conversion price or exercise price, as applicable, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders.
In connection with the YP Purchase Agreement, the Company and Yield Point entered into the PIPE Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the Underlying Shares on the Registration Statement, to be filed with the SEC within 30 days after the date of the issuance of the YP Notes and Original YP Warrant and to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act no later than 90 days after the date of the Purchase Agreement. If certain of the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement are not met, the Company is required to pay partial liquidated damages to Yield Point.
The Company also entered into a Security Agreement (the “YP Security Agreement”) with Yield Point and such holders of the YP Notes as may be issued in the future (together with Yield Point, the “Secured Parties”). Pursuant to the YP Security Agreement, the Secured Parties were granted a security interest in certain of the Company’s personal property to secure the payment and performance of all of the Company’s obligations under the YP Notes, Original YP Warrant, Purchase Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and Security Agreement.
On September 30, 2025, the Company and Yield Point, entered into Amendment No. 1 to the YP Note (the “YP Note Amendment”), originally issued on July 10, 2025, pursuant to that certain YP Purchase Agreement, dated therewith. Pursuant to the YP Note Amendment: (i) the “Conversion Price” was amended to $71.40, subject to adjustment as set forth in the YP Note; and (ii) the “Floor Price” was amended to $14.28. All other terms and conditions of the YP Note remain in full force and effect.
The initial fair value of the Original YP Warrant, totaling $1,935,000, was classified as a liability in the balance sheets, and remeasured at fair value at each balance date. The change in fair value of the Original YP Warrant for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled $1,070,000 which is reflected in other income (expense) in the statements of operations. The fair value of the Original YP Warrant was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions: expected volatility of 40%; risk free interest rate range of 3.66% - 3.88%; and expected life range of 3.83 - 4.0 years. The fair value of the conversion feature embedded in the YP Note was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions: expected volatility of 40%; risk free interest rate range of 3.66% - 3.97%; and expected life range of 1.30 - 1.53 years. In conjunction with the Company’s October 2025 shareholder meeting, shareholders approved the issuance of the shares underlying the Original YP Warrant as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). As such, the fair value of the Original YP Warrant on the approval date totaling $1,679,000 was reclassified to equity.
Effective October 22, 2025, the Company and Yield Point entered into an exchange agreement (the “YP Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and Yield Point would, on a date no earlier than ten (10) business days after the effectiveness of the YP Exchange Agreement, exchange up to 100% of unconverted and unpaid principal and interest under the YP Note, for: (i) that number of shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock; (ii) common stock purchase warrants to purchase 166,667 shares of Common Stock, on terms substantially similar to the PIPE Warrants, at an initial exercise price of $12.00 per share subject to adjustment as set forth therein (the “YP Exchange Warrant”); and (iii) the cancellation of all remaining common stock purchase warrants previously issued to Yield Point in connection with the sale to Yield Point of that certain Convertible Promissory Note, dated July 10, 2025 (“YP Note Exchange”).
In addition, during the 10-day period from the effective date of the YP Exchange Agreement, Yield Point converted $1,953,000 of the outstanding principal balance under the YP Note, resulting in the issuance of 136,834 shares of common stock to Yield Point upon conversion, and the Company repaid in cash and additional $1,500,000 of outstanding principal on the YP Note. As a result, the remaining balance under the YP Note as of the YP Note Exchange date was $1,153,000.
The exchange of the remaining balance of the YP Note for Series C Preferred stock, as described above, was accounted for as an exchange of debt for equity, resulting in a loss on exchange totaling $196,000, reflected in other income (expense) in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. The exchange of the Original YP Warrant for the YP Exchange Warrant, as described above, was accounted for as a modification of the Original YP Warrant, resulting in a loss on extinguishment totaling $1,459,000 reflected in other income (expense) in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The fair value of the Original YP Warrant and the YP Exchange Warrant, on the date of the exchange was estimated utilizing Black-Scholes, with inputs including, Term of 4 years, stock price of $14.04, volatilities ranging from 40% and 103% and risk free interest rate of 3.58%.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements
As of December 31, 2025, other than as described herein, we had no significant commitments for capital expenditures, nor do we have any committed lines of credit, other committed funding or long-term debt, and no guarantees. As of December 31, 2025 we maintain approximately 200 square feet of office space which is leased on an annual basis at a rate of approximately $3,000 per month.
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financial guarantees or other off-balance sheet commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our financial statements included elsewhere herein. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or product development services with us.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the 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’s management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, 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, in consultation with legal counsel, 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 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 financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Global Leisure Partners, LLC, and Blackwatch Advisors, LLC vs. Super League Enterprise, Inc. On January 26, 2026, a complaint was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by Global Leisure Partners, LLC and Blackwatch Advisors, LLC (the “Plaintiff”). Formal service of process on the complaint occurred on February 12, 2026. The complaint alleges, among other things, breach of contract and related claims arising from the Company’s completion of a series of financing transactions during the fiscal year. The Plaintiff seeks unspecified damages, together with interest, attorneys’ fees and other relief.
The Company believes the claims are wholly without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. Based on the Company’s assessment of the facts currently known, and after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company believes that the likelihood of a material loss is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2025. Litigation is inherently uncertain, and while the Company believes the claims lack merit, an unfavorable outcome could occur. However, at this time, the Company does not see the need to, nor can it reasonably estimate any possible loss or range of loss associated with this matter.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements contained elsewhere in this Report.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make judgements and estimates. Some accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in our financial statements. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require a company to make its most difficult and subjective judgements. A summary of significant accounting policies and a description of accounting policies that are considered critical may be found in the audited financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein. The following accounting policies were identified during the periods presented, based on activities occurring during the periods presented, as critical and requiring significant judgements and estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenue from (i) innovative advertising including immersive game world and experience publishing and in-game media products, (ii) content and technology through the production and distribution of our own, advertiser and third-party content, and (iii) direct to consumer offers, including in-game items, e-commerce, game passes and digital collectibles.
Revenue is recognized when the Company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services and when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. In this regard, revenue is recognized when: (i) the parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally, or in accordance with other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations; (ii) the entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred; (iii) the entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred; (iv) the contract has commercial substance (that is, the risk, timing, or amount of the entity’s future cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract); and (v) it is probable that the entity will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer.
We make estimates and judgements when determining whether we will collect substantially all of the consideration to which we will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. We assess the collectability of receivables based on several factors, including past transaction history and the creditworthiness of our customers. If it is determined that collection is not reasonably assured, amounts due are recognized when collectability becomes reasonably assured, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met, which is generally upon receipt of cash for transactions where collectability may have been an issue. Management’s estimates regarding collectability impact the actual revenue recognized each period and the timing of the recognition of revenue. Our assumptions and judgements regarding future collectability could differ from actual events and thus materially impact our financial position and results of operations.
Depending on the complexity of the underlying revenue arrangement and related terms and conditions, significant judgements, assumptions and estimates may be required to determine each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred, each party’s performance obligations, whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time, estimates of completion methodologies, the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, whether we are a principal or agent in the arrangement and the appropriate period or periods in which, or during which, the completion of the earnings process and transfer of control occurs. Depending on the magnitude of specific revenue arrangements, if different judgements, assumptions and estimates are made regarding revenue arrangements in any specific period, our periodic financial results may be materially affected.
Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election
The Company accounted for certain promissory notes issued, as described at Note 6, under the fair value option election pursuant to ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” (“ASC 825”) as discussed below. The promissory notes accounted for under the FVO election are each debt host financial instruments containing embedded features which would otherwise be required to be bifurcated from the debt-host and recognized as separate derivative liabilities subject to initial and subsequent periodic estimated fair value measurements under ASC 815. Notwithstanding, ASC 825 provides for the “fair value option” election, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by ASC 825, to be afforded to financial instruments, wherein bifurcation of an embedded derivative is not necessary, and the financial instrument is initially measured at its issue-date estimated fair value and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date. The estimated fair value adjustments, subsequent to the issuance date, as required by ASC 825, are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) with respect to the portion of the fair value adjustment attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, with the remaining amount of the fair value adjustment recognized as other income (expense) in the accompanying statements of operations. With respect to the promissory notes described at Note 6, as provided for by ASC 825, the estimated fair value adjustments are presented in a respective single line item within other income (expense) in the accompanying statements of operations, since the change in fair value of the convertible notes payable was not attributable to instrument specific credit risk. The estimated fair value adjustment is included in interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations.
The fair value of the promissory notes described at Note 6 was estimated based on a calculation of the present value of the related cash flows (i.e. payments of principal and interest based on contractual agreement terms) using a discount rate that reflected market rates and related credit risk. The FVO was elected for the promissory notes described at Note 6 due to the short-term nature of the promissory notes and to provide relevant and timely information regarding the current market value of the debt, which is marked to market at each balance sheet date reflecting the effects of market fluctuations and other factors.
Significant judgements and estimates may be required in connection with the determination of whether or not to elect the FVO for specific assets and/or liabilities. In addition, significant judgements and estimates may be required in connection with the determination of appropriate discount rates utilized in connection with present value-related valuation techniques. Discount rate assumptions typically reflect the estimated yield to maturity of the debt instrument, incorporating the estimated market-implied rate of return an investor would receive if they held the debt until maturity, and taking into account all future cash flows and the current market price; adjusted for credit risk and market conditions. In addition, judgements and estimates are required in connection with the determination of the portion of subsequent fair value adjustments relate to instrument-specific credit risk, which are reflected in OCI, and the portion of subsequent fair value adjustments that relate to changes in interests rates or other variables, which are reflected in the statements of operations. Variations in any of these judgements and estimates could have a material impact on our financial results.
Determination of Fair Value – Warrants
During the period presented the Company issued certain common stock purchase warrants (“Warrants”) as described at Note 6 and 7 to the financial statements. The fair value of warrants are determined using a Black Scholes option price model, measured using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the warrants described above was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions for the applicable dates:
Significant judgements and estimates may be required in connection with determining the classification of warrants between liabilities and equity, as well as in connection with the assumptions utilized for the expected volatility, risk free interest rate and term in the Black Scholes calculations used to value warrants outstanding at each balance sheet date, if liability classified. Variations in any of these judgements and estimates could have a material impact on our financial results.
Modifications to Equity Linked Instruments
During certain of the periods presented herein, holders of our preferred stock with outstanding Additional Investment Rights (“AIRs”) received (i) a six (6) month extension of the exercise period of such AIRs; and (ii) an adjustment to the conversion prices for such AIRs, to the existing conversion price floors for each respective subseries of preferred stock, as described in Note 7 to the financial statements. In connection with the modifications, the AIRs with initial aggregate underlying common shares totaling 1.3 million, were modified as described above, resulting in an incremental increase in fair value totaling $364,000, of which $294,000 was charged to additional paid-in capital as a financing cost, and $70,000 which was charged to other expense in the statements of operations as a legal settlement cost.
Accounting standards require that a reporting entity recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange on the basis of the substance of the transaction in the same manner as if cash had been paid as consideration. As of each of the applicable AIR modification dates the Company utilized an option pricing model, employing the back solve method for purposes of determining the implied common stock value of the Company for input into a Black Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the AIRs immediately before and after the modifications described above, using Level 3 inputs. Weighted average assumptions utilized in the Black Scholes option pricing model included implied (derived) common stock prices from $0.72 to $0.86, conversion prices ranging from $22.20 to $13.25 (based on the applicable original and modified preferred stock conversion prices), risk free interest rates ranging from 4.64% to 5.36%, terms ranging from .24 years to .92 years and volatility assumptions ranging from 68% to 91%.
Significant judgements and estimates may be required in connection with the selection of the techniques and methods used in the determination of the implied common stock value of the company, including selection of the back solve method, and significant judgements and estimates may be required in connection with the assumptions utilized in the Black Scholes options pricing model, including assumptions for the remaining term of the applicable instruments, risk free interest rates and volatility. Variations in any of these judgements and estimates could have a material impact on our financial results.
Relaxed Ongoing Reporting Requirements
We qualify to report as a “smaller reporting company” (as defined in Rule 12b-2) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an “smaller reporting company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “smaller reporting companies,” including but not limited to not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements.
We are subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not “smaller reporting company,” and our stockholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.
We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer a smaller reporting company.
Upon the completion of our initial public offering in February 2019, we elected to report as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act, which allowed us to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including but not limited to:
|
● |
not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
|
|
● |
taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards; |
|
|
● |
being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and |
|
|
● |
being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
We were eligible to remain an “emerging growth company” for five years from the date of our initial public offering, and as such, ceased being an “emerging growth company” as of Fiscal Year 2024. However, as described above we continue to be a “smaller reporting company.”
As a result of no longer qualifying for “emerging growth company” status, our independent auditors, commencing with their audit of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, are required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) to include a description of Critical Audit Matters (“CAMs”) as a component of their audit opinion commencing with the audit of our financial statements for Fiscal Year 2024.
A CAM is defined as any matter arising from the audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee, as a component of typical and customary matters required to be communicated to the audit committee each year and that:
|
● |
Relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements; and |
|
|
● |
Involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex auditor judgment. |
The PCAOB requires auditors to communicate with the company's audit committee regarding certain matters related to the conduct of their audit, including information about the overall audit strategy, timing of the audit and the significant risks identified during the auditor's risk assessment procedures.
As described by the PCAOB, CAMs are intended to enhance the auditor’s report to provide audit-specific information that is meaningful to investors and other financial statement users. Further, the purpose of CAMs is to shed light on certain matters in an audit that involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex auditor judgment.
For the periods presented, our auditors have included descriptions of CAMs as described in their audit opinion under “Critical Audit Matters.”
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the ordinary course of our business, we are not currently exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, or that may otherwise arise from transactions in derivatives.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company believes that, of the significant accounting policies described herein, the accounting policies associated with revenue recognition, impairment of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, capitalized internal-use-software costs, accounting for business combinations and related contingent consideration, accounting for convertible debt, including estimates and assumptions used to calculate the fair value of debt instruments, accounting for convertible preferred stock, including modifications and exchanges of equity and equity-linked instruments, accounting for warrant liabilities and accounting for income taxes and valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets, require its most difficult, subjective, or complex judgements and estimates.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The financial statements and related financial information required to be filed hereunder are indexed under Item 15 of this report and are incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024 (“Evaluation Date”). Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgements and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This process includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to risk that the internal control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management’s Assessment of the Effectiveness of our Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In conducting its evaluation, management used the framework set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on our evaluation under such framework, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
We are an “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and, accordingly, we are not required to provide the attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our internal control over financial reporting required by Item 308(b) of Regulation S-K.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025.
During the three months ended December 31, 2025, of our officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) entered into contracts, instructions or written plans (each, a “Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plan” and collectively, the “Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans”) for the purchase or sale of our securities that are intended to satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act for an affirmative defense against liability for trading in securities on the basis of material nonpublic information, other than as described below:
During the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025, the following director(s) or officer(s) adopted or terminated a contract, instruction, or written plan for the purchase or sale of securities of the Company intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c):

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SUPER LEAGUE ENTERPRISE, INC.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Super League Enterprise, Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Super League Enterprise, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statement. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue Recognition- Fixed Fee
Description of the Matter
As disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company continues to generate revenue from (i) innovative advertising including immersive game world and experience publishing and in-game media products, (ii) content and technology through the production and distribution of our own, advertiser and third-party content, and (iii) direct to consumer offers, including in-game items, e-commerce and digital collectibles. A portion of the Company’s contracts with customers are recognized over time on a percentage of completion basis. In the case of a contract not being completed at period end, the Company estimates the percentage of contract completion at period end. The Company did so by using the input method, measuring the hours incurred against the total hours expected to be incurred throughout the entire contract to calculate the revenue to be recognized in the current period. Subjective auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort was required to evaluate the accounting for fixed fee revenue recognition due to the complexity involved in testing the Company’s total hours expected to be incurred throughout the contract.
Audit Response
Our audit procedures to test the estimates and assumptions surrounding the fixed fee revenue recognition included obtaining a report downloaded directly from the Company’s time-tracking software that detailed the hours incurred on a specific job. We obtained an understanding of the Company’s system configuration, user access controls, deal lifecycle, and revenue management processes, noting clearly defined roles and permissions, strong deal validation controls, and structured revenue tracking and reporting that support effective operational oversight and reliable financial reporting. We tested the estimated hours used by management to determine revenue recognition and retrospectively reviewed past fixed fee contracts to ensure total estimated hours were materially accurate. We obtained total hours incurred, then compared this against the total hours expected to be incurred throughout the contract to recalculate the revenue recognized. We also tested for proper revenue recognition cut-off.
Fair value/Classification of Equity Instruments - (Capital Raise - Equity Classified Warrants Issued in the $20M PIPE Financing)
Description of the Matter
As described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed a $20,000,000 private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) financing that included prefunded warrants and warrants to purchase common stock. This matter was critical because determining whether the warrants met the equity classification criteria under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815‑40 required significant auditor judgment, including the evaluation of complex contractual terms and settlement provisions. A different conclusion could have resulted in liability classification of the warrants and the recognition of changes in fair value through earnings, which would have had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Audit Response
Our audit procedures related to the evaluation of the warrants’ equity classification included, among others, reading and evaluating the warrant agreements; assessing management’s analysis of the warrants under ASC 815‑40; evaluating whether the warrants met the equity classification conditions; involving professionals with specialized accounting knowledge to assist in evaluating the technical accounting conclusions; and assessing the adequacy of the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Fair value of convertible debt/conversion - (YP Note/Warrant Exchange to Preferred Stock Series C and New YP Warrant)
Description of the Matter
As described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into exchange agreements with YP related to its outstanding convertible notes, pursuant to which a portion of the notes was converted into common stock and the remaining balance was exchanged for newly issued Series C Preferred Stock. In addition, the warrants issued in the original agreement were replaced with new warrants in the exchange agreement. We identified the accounting for the partial conversion and exchange of the convertible notes as a critical audit matter because the evaluation of whether the transaction qualified as a debt extinguishment under ASC 470 required significant auditor judgment, including the determination of the reacquisition price based on the fair value of the preferred stock issued and the incremental fair value of the replacement warrants, as well as the evaluation of key valuation assumptions.
Audit Response
We obtained and analyzed the technical memo from the Company to ensure it complied with ASC 470 and ASC 815. We utilized the knowledge, experience and expertise of our internal valuation specialists to execute the planned audit procedures related to the valuation by assessing the reasonableness of the methodologies employed to value the convertible debt, Series C Preferred stock, and both the original and new warrants. We also tested the underlying assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes option pricing models.
Fair value/Classification of Equity Instruments - (Down round - deemed dividend)
Description of the Matter
As described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, on July 10, 2025 the Company completed the YP financing transaction at a price below the conversion price of its outstanding convertible preferred stock, which resulted in a downward adjustment to the conversion price pursuant to anti‑dilution provisions and the recognition of a deemed dividend. We identified the accounting for the down round as a critical audit matter because the determination of the deemed dividend amount required significant auditor judgment, including the use of an option‑pricing model incorporating Level 3 inputs, and because the deemed dividend had a material impact on earnings per share.
Audit Response
We obtained and analyzed the technical memo from the Company to ensure it complied with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We utilized the knowledge, experience and expertise of our internal valuation specialists to execute the planned audit procedures related to the valuation by assessing the reasonableness of the methodologies employed to value the convertible preferred stock before and after the triggering of the down round provision. We also tested the underlying assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes option pricing models.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2023.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS |
Super League Enterprise Inc. (“Super League” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SLE) is an audience intelligence and media activation company operating at the intersection of a billion-person global gaming population and a $ trillion global advertising market. The Company connects brands with consumers who play video games by leveraging an emerging data and activation platform that utilizes behavioral and psychographic signals to drive marketing outcomes.

On January 16, 2026, the Company filed an amendment (the “2026 Amendment”) to the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $
Refer to Note 7 for additional information on reverse stock splits.
As a result of the 2026 Reverse Split, all references to Common Stock, warrants to purchase common stock and other rights, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock, share data, per share data and related information contained in the consolidated financial statements (hereinafter, “financial statements”) have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the 2026 Reverse Split for all periods presented.
References to “financial statements,” “balance sheets,” “statements of operations,” “statements of cash flows,” and “statements of stockholders’ equity,” refer to the “consolidated financial statements,” “consolidated balance sheets,” “consolidated statements of operations,” “consolidated statements of cash flows” and “consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity,” respectively, of the Company, including the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, if any. As of December 31, 2025, there were no wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The legal entity Mobcrush Streaming, Inc. was dissolved effective May 14, 2025. InPvP, LLC was sold in May 2025 as described at Note 4.
All references to “Note,” followed by a number reference, refer to the applicable corresponding numbered footnotes to these financial statements.

Operating Cost Reductions
Since approximately May 2024, the Company implemented a number of operating expense reduction initiatives designed to decrease future operating cash outflow requirements. These actions included workforce optimization, vendor contract renegotiations, reduced discretionary spending, and restructuring of non-core activities. Excluding noncash charges, these operating expense reductions resulted in a decrease in operating expense of approximately
Considerations as of the Date of Issuance of Financial Statements
In connection with preparing the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, management evaluated whether conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements”—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”).
Based on, (i) cash and cash equivalents on hand as of the issuance date of these financial statements, (ii) net proceeds from the equity financings completed as of December 31, 2025, (iii) elimination of future cash obligations resulting from the conversion of debt into equity, and (iv) realized reductions in operating expense, management believes that the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations as they become due for at least the twelve-month period following the issuance date of these financial statements as contemplated by ASC 205-40. Accordingly, management has concluded that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern has been alleviated.
Smaller Reporting Company Status and Disclosure of Critical Audit Matters in the Auditors’ Opinion
We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Upon the completion of the Company’s initial public offering in February 2019, the Company elected to report as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act, which allowed the Company to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including but not limited to, the following:
|
● |
not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
|
● |
taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards; |
|
● |
being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in the Company’s periodic reports and proxy statements; and |
|
● |
being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. |
We were eligible to remain an “emerging growth company” for five years from the date of the Company’s initial public offering, and as such, ceased being an “emerging growth company” as of Fiscal Year 2024. However, as described above the Company continues to be a “smaller reporting company.”
As a result of no longer qualifying for “emerging growth company” status, the Company’s independent auditors, commencing with their audit of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, are required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) to include a description of Critical Audit Matters (“CAMs”) as a component of their audit opinion commencing with the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
A CAM is defined as any matter arising from the audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee, as a component of typical and customary matters required to be communicated to the audit committee each year and that:
|
● |
Relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements; and |
|
|
● |
Involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex auditor judgment. |
The PCAOB requires auditors to communicate with the Company's audit committee regarding certain matters related to the conduct of their audit, including information about the overall audit strategy, timing of the audit and the significant risks identified during the auditor's risk assessment procedures.
As described by the PCAOB, CAMs are intended to enhance the auditor’s report to provide audit-specific information that is meaningful to investors and other financial statement users. Further, the purpose of CAMs is to shed light on certain matters in an audit that involved especially challenging, subjective, or complex auditor judgment.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s auditors have included descriptions of CAMs as described in their audit opinion under “Critical Audit Matters.”

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, if any. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, if any. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no wholly owned subsidiaries. Mobcrush Streaming, Inc. was dissolved effective May 14, 2025. InPvP, LLC was sold in May 2025, as described at Note 4.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company believes that, of the significant accounting policies described herein, the accounting policies associated with revenue recognition, impairment of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense, accounting for business combinations and related contingent consideration, derecognition of assets, accounting for debt, including estimates and assumptions used to calculate the fair value of debt instruments, accounting for debt modifications, exchanges and extinguishments, accounting for derivatives, including estimates and assumptions used to calculate the fair value of derivative instruments, accounting for convertible preferred stock, including modifications and exchanges of equity and equity-linked instruments, accounting for warrant liabilities and accounting for income taxes and valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets, require its most difficult, subjective, or complex judgements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the Company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services and when the customer obtains control of the goods or services. In this regard, revenue is recognized when (i) the parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally, or in accordance with other customary business practices) and are committed to perform their respective obligations; (ii) the entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred; (iii) the entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred; (iv) the contract has commercial substance (that is, the risk, timing, or amount of the entity’s future cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract); and (v) it is probable that the entity will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer.
Transaction prices are based on the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties, if any. The Company considers the explicit terms of the revenue contract, which are typically written and executed by the parties, the Company’s customary business practices, the nature, timing, and the amount of consideration promised by a customer in connection with determining the transaction price for the Company's revenue arrangements. Refunds and sales returns historically have not been material.
The Company generates revenue from brands and agencies by executing programs targeting U.S. audiences that include (i) mini-games and experiences within Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite, (ii) playable and rewarded video ads in mobile and immersive environments, (iii) in-game ads across mobile and PC, (iv) connected TV gaming applications and sponsorships, (v) custom integrations within games, (vi) interactive characters, and (vii) influencer content across social and digital video platforms. An additional emerging revenue source includes participation in revenue generated by select game properties.
The Company reports revenue on a gross or net basis based on management’s assessment of whether the Company acts as a principal or agent in the transaction and is evaluated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. To the extent the Company acts as the principal, revenue is reported on a gross basis net of any sales tax from customers, when applicable. The determination of whether the Company acts as a principal or an agent in a transaction is based on an evaluation of whether the Company controls the goods or services prior to transfer to the customer. Where applicable, the Company has determined that it acts as the principal in all of its media and advertising, publishing and content studio and direct to consumer revenue streams, except in situations where the Company utilizes a reseller partner with respect to media and advertising sales arrangements.
In the event a customer pays the Company consideration, or the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, prior to the Company’s transfer of a good or service to the customer, the Company reflects the contract as a contract liability when the payment is made or the payment is due, whichever is earlier. In the event the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, the Company reflects the contract as a contract asset, excluding any amounts reflected as a receivable.
Depending on the complexity of the underlying revenue arrangement and related terms and conditions, significant judgements, assumptions and estimates may be required to determine each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred, each party’s performance obligations, whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time, estimates of completion methodologies, the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, whether we are a principal or agent in the arrangement and the appropriate period or periods in which, or during which, the completion of the earnings process and transfer of control occurs. Depending on the magnitude of specific revenue arrangements, if different judgements, assumptions and estimates are made regarding revenue arrangements in any specific period, the Company’s periodic financial results may be materially affected.

Media and advertising revenue primarily consists of direct and reseller sales of the Company’s on-platform media (including off-platform media) and analytics products, and influencer marketing campaign sales to third-party brands and agencies (hereinafter, “Brands”).
On Platform Media
On platform media revenue is generated from third party Brands advertising in-game on Roblox or other digital platforms, and prior to the Minehut Sale, on the Company’s Minehut Minecraft platform (Refer to Note 4, “Sale of Mineville” and “Sale of Minehut” below for information concerning the sale of the related digital properties in May 2025 and February 2024, respectively). Media assets include static billboards, video billboards, portals, 3D characters, Pop Ups and other media products. The Company works with Brands to determine the specific campaign media to deploy, target ad units and target demographics. The Company customizes the media advertising campaign and media products with applicable branding, images and design and place the media on the various digital platforms. Media is delivered via the Company’s Super Biz Roblox platform, the Roblox Immersive Ads platform, other platforms, and prior to the Minehut Sale, on the Company’s owned and operated Minehut platform. Media placement can be based on a cost per thousand, other cost per measure, or a flat fee. Media and advertising arrangements typically include contract terms for time periods ranging from one week to two or three months in length.
For on-platform media campaigns, the Company typically inserts media products on-platform (in-game) to deliver to the Brand a predetermined number of impressions identified in the underlying contract. The benefit accrues to the Brand at the time that the Company delivers the impression on the platform, and the media product is viewed or interacted with by the on-platform user. The performance obligation for on-platform media campaigns is each impression that is guaranteed or required to be delivered per the underlying contract. Each impression is considered a good or service that is distinct under the revenue standard, and the performance obligation under the Company’s on-platform media contracts is the delivery of a series of impressions. Each impression required to be delivered in the series that the Company promises to transfer to the Brand meets the criteria to be a performance obligation satisfied over time, due to the fact that (1) the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company, and (2) the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date per the terms of the contract. Further, the same method is used to measure the Company’s progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation to transfer each distinct impression, as in the transfer of the series of impressions to the customer, which is based on actual delivery of impressions. As such, the Company accounts for the specified series of impressions as a single performance obligation.
The delivery of the impression on platform represents the change in control of the good or service, and therefore, the Company satisfies its performance obligations and recognizes revenue based on the delivery of impressions under the contract.
Influencer Marketing
Influencer marketing revenue is generated in connection with the development, management and execution of influencer marketing campaigns on behalf of Brands, primarily on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. Influencer marketing campaigns are collaborations between Super League, popular social-media influencers, and Brands, to promote a Brands’ products or services. Influencers are paid a flat rate per post to feature a Brand’s product or service on their respective social media outlets.
For influencer marketing campaigns that include multiple influencers, the customer can benefit from the influencer posts either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The Company’s influencer marketing campaigns for Brands (1) incorporate a significant service of integrating the goods or services with other goods or services promised in the contract (typically additional influencer posts) into a bundle of goods or services that represent the combined output that the customer has contracted for, and (2) the goods or services are interdependent in that each of the goods or services is affected by one or more of the other goods or services in the contract which combined, create an influencer marketing campaign to satisfy the Brand’s specific campaign objectives. The interdependency of the performance obligations is supported by an understanding of what a customer expects to receive as a final product with respect to an influencer marketing campaign, which is an integrated influencer marketing advertising campaign that the influencer posts create when they are combined into an overall integrated campaign.
Our customers receive and consume the benefits of each influencer’s post as the content is posted on the influencer’s respective social media outlet. In addition, the influencer marketing campaigns and videos created by influencers are highly customized advertising engagements, where Brand specific assets and collateral are created for the customer based on specific and customized specifications, and therefore, does not create an asset with an alternative use. Further, based on contract terms, the Company typically has an enforceable right to payment for performance to date during the term of the arrangement.
We recognize revenues for influencer marketing campaigns based on input methods which recognize revenue on the basis of the entity’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation. As such, revenues are recognized over the term of the campaign, as the influencer videos are posted, based on costs incurred to date relative to total costs for the influencer marketing campaign.
Publishing and Content Studio
Publishing and content studio revenue consists of revenue generated from immersive game development and custom game experiences within the Company’s owned and affiliate game worlds, and revenue generated in connection with the Company’s production, curation and distribution of entertainment content for the Company’s own network of digital channels and media and entertainment partner channels.
Publishing
Custom builds are highly customized branded game experiences created and built by Super League for customers on existing digital platforms such as Roblox, Fortnite, Decentraland and others. Custom builds often include the creation of highly customized and branded gaming experiences and other campaign specific media or products to create an overall customized immersive world campaign.
Custom integrations are highly customized advertising campaigns that are integrated into and run on existing affiliate Roblox gaming experiences. Custom integrations will often include the creation of highly customized and branded game integration elements to be integrated into the existing Roblox gaming experience to the customers specifications and other campaign-specific media or products. Prior to the Minehut Sale, the Company also created custom integrations on the digital property “Minehut” for Brands. Refer to Note 4, “Sale of Mineville” and “Sale of Minehut” below for information concerning the sale of the related digital properties in May 2025 and February 2024, respectively.
Our custom builds and custom integration (hereinafter, “Custom Programs”) campaign revenue arrangements typically include multiple promises and performance obligations, including requirements to design, create and launch a platform game, customize and enhance an existing game, deploy media products, and related performance measurement. Custom Programs offer a strategically integrated advertising campaign with multiple integrated components, and the Company provides a significant service of integrating the goods or services with other goods or services promised in the contract into a bundle of goods or services that represent the combined output or outputs that the customer has contracted for. As such, Custom Program revenue arrangements are combined into a single performance unit, as the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the Company typically has an enforceable right to payment for performance to date during the term of the arrangement.
We recognize revenues for Custom Programs based on input methods, that recognize revenue based upon estimates of progress toward complete satisfaction of the contract performance obligations, utilizing primarily costs or direct labor hours incurred to date to estimate progress towards completion.
Content Production
Content production revenue is generated in connection with the Company’s production, curation and distribution of entertainment content for the Company’s own network of digital channels and media and entertainment partner channels. The Company distributes three primary types of content for syndication and licensing, including (1) the Company’s own original programming content, (2) user generated content (“UGC”), including online gameplay and gameplay highlights, and (3) the creation of content for third parties utilizing the Company’s remote production and broadcast technology.
Content production arrangements typically involve promises to provide a distinct set of videos, creative, content creation and/or other live or remote production services. These services can be one-off in nature (relatively short services periods of one day to one week) or can be specified as monthly services over a multi-month period.
One-off and monthly content production services are distinct in that the customer can benefit from the service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer. Further, promises to provide one-off or monthly content production services are typically separately identifiable as the nature of the promises, within the context of the contract, is to transfer each of those goods or services individually. Each month’s content production services are separate and not integrated with a prior month’s or subsequent month’s services and do not represent a combined output; each month’s content production services do not modify any other prior period content production services, and the monthly services are not interdependent or highly interrelated.
As a result, each one-off or monthly promise to provide content production services is a distinct good or service that the Company promises to transfer and are therefore performance obligations. In general, content production contracts do not meet the criteria for recognition of revenues over time as the customer typically does not simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs, the Company’s performance does not typically create or enhance an asset that the customer controls, and while the Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use, the Company typically has a right to payment upon completion of each distinct performance obligation.
A performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time if none of the criteria for satisfying a performance obligation over time are met. For content production arrangements, the Company has a right to payment and the customer has control of the good or service at the time of completion and delivery of the one-off or monthly content production services in accordance with the terms of the underlying contract. As such, revenue is recognized at the time of completion of the one-off or monthly content production services.
Direct to Consumer
Direct to consumer revenue primarily consists of monthly digital subscription fees, and sales of in-game digital goods. Subscription revenue is recognized in the period the services are rendered. Payments are typically due from customers at the point of sale.
Refer to Note 4, “Sale of Mineville” and “Sale of Minehut” below for information concerning the sale of the related digital properties in May 2025 and February 2024, respectively.
InPvP Platform Generated Sales Transactions
Through a relationship with Microsoft, the owner of Minecraft, the Company operated a Minecraft server world for players playing the game on consoles and tablets. The Company was one of seven partner servers with Microsoft that, while “free to play,” monetize the players through in-game micro transactions. The Company generated in-game platform sales revenue from the sale of digital goods, including cosmetic items, durable goods, player ranks and game modes, leveraged the flexibility of the Microsoft Minecraft Bedrock platform, and powered by the InPvP cloud architecture technology platform. Revenue was generated when transactions were facilitated between Microsoft and the end user, either via in-game currency or cash.
InPvP revenues were generated from single transactions for various distinct digital goods sold to users in-game. Microsoft processed sales transactions and remitted the applicable revenue share to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Microsoft agreement.
Revenue for digital goods sold on the platform were recognized when Microsoft (our partner) collected the revenue and facilitates the transaction, including delivery of digital goods, on the platform. Revenue for such arrangements included all revenue generated, make goods, and refunds of all transactions managed via the platform by Microsoft. Payments were made to the Company monthly based on the sales revenue generated on the platform.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
Contract assets totaled $
In accordance with ASC 606-10-50-13, the Company is required to include disclosure on its remaining performance obligations as of the end of the current reporting period. Due to the nature of the Company’s contracts with customers, these reporting requirements are not applicable as per ASC 606-10-50-14 as the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original duration of one year or less.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues includes direct costs incurred in connection with the satisfaction of performance obligations under the Company’s revenue arrangements, including internal and third-party engineering, creative, content, broadcast and other personnel, talent and influencers, internal and third-party game developers, third-party ad-platform, content capture and production services, direct marketing, cloud services, software, prizing, and revenue sharing fees.
Engineering, Technology and Development Costs
Components of the Company’s platform are available on a “free to use,” “always on basis,” and are utilized and offered as an audience acquisition tool, as a means of growing the Company’s audience, engagement, viewership, players and community. Engineering, technology and development related operating expense includes the costs described below, incurred in connection with the Company’s audience acquisition and viewership expansion activities. Engineering, technology and development related operating expense includes (i) allocated internal engineering personnel expense, including salaries, noncash stock compensation, taxes and benefits, (ii) third-party contract software development and engineering expense, (iii) internal use software cost amortization expense, and (iv) technology platform related cloud services, broadband and other platform expense, incurred in connection with the Company’s audience acquisition and viewership expansion activities, including tools and product offering development, testing, minor upgrades and features, free to use services, corporate information technology and general platform maintenance and support.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly-liquid, short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, cash balances totaled $
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice amount, less allowances for credit losses, if any, and do not bear interest. At each balance sheet date, the Company provides an allowance for potential credit losses based on its evaluation of the collectability and the customers’ creditworthiness. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as the age of the receivable balances, historical experience, credit quality, current economic conditions, and reasonable forecasts of future economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Accounts receivable are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, no allowance for expected credit losses was deemed necessary.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy which requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2. Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices which are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3. Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and which are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Certain liabilities are required, or elected, to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with applicable guidance. As described in the notes below, certain promissory notes, convertible notes, contingent consideration, warrant liabilities and contingent interest derivatives outstanding during the periods presented are recorded at fair value. Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the periods presented.
Certain long-lived assets may be periodically required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including long-lived assets that are impaired. The fair value for other assets and liabilities such as cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, prepaid expense and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expense, and contract liabilities have been determined to approximate carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to a liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated, and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
Equity-linked instruments that are deemed to be freestanding instruments issued in conjunction with convertible debt, common stock or preferred stock are accounted for separately. For equity linked instruments classified as equity, the proceeds are allocated based on the relative fair values of the common stock or preferred stock and the equity-linked instrument following the guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 505, “Equity” (when issued in conjunction with common stock), and ASC Topic 470, “Debt” (“ASC 470”) (when issued in conjunction with debt).
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Major additions and improvements that materially extend useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged against the results of operations as incurred. When these assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related depreciation are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in the statements of operations for the period of sale or disposal. Depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, typically over a to -year period.
Acquisitions
Acquisition Method. Acquisitions that meet the definition of a business under FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration, when applicable, are recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The application of the acquisition method of accounting requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the allocation of the purchase price consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expense in the statements of operations.
Contingent consideration, representing an obligation of the acquirer to transfer additional assets or equity interests to the seller if future events occur or conditions are met, is recognized when probable and reasonably estimable. Contingent consideration recognized is included in the initial cost of the assets acquired, with subsequent changes in the recorded amount of contingent consideration recognized as an adjustment to the cost basis of the acquired assets. Subsequent changes are allocated to the acquired assets based on their relative fair value. Depreciation and/or amortization of adjusted assets are recognized as a cumulative catch-up adjustment, as if the additional amount of consideration that is no longer contingent had been accrued from the outset of the arrangement.
Contingent consideration that is paid to sellers that remain employed by the acquirer and linked to future services is generally considered compensation cost and recorded in the statements of operations in the post-combination period.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets primarily consist of (i) internal-use software development costs, (ii) domain name, copyright and patent registration costs, (iii) commercial licenses, (iv) developed technology acquired, (v) partner, customer, creator and influencer related intangible assets acquired and (vi) other intangible assets, which are recorded at cost (or in accordance with the acquisition method or cost accumulation methods described above) and amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from
Software development costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the application development stage are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the software’s estimated useful life, which is generally years. Software development costs incurred during the preliminary stages of development are charged to expense as incurred. Maintenance and training costs are charged to expense as incurred. Upgrades or enhancements to existing internal-use software that result in additional functionality are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the applicable estimated useful life.
Transfer or Sale of Intangible Assets
Upon the sale of an intangible asset, or group of intangible assets (hereinafter, “nonfinancial assets”), the Company initially evaluates whether the Company has a controlling financial interest in the legal entity that holds the nonfinancial assets by applying the guidance on consolidation. Any nonfinancial assets transferred that are held in a legal entity in which the Company does not have (or ceases to have) a controlling financial interest is further evaluated to determine whether the underlying transaction contract meets all of the criteria for accounting for contract under the revenue standard. Once a contract meets all of the criteria, the Company identifies each distinct nonfinancial asset promised to a counterparty and derecognizes each distinct nonfinancial asset when the Company transfers control of the nonfinancial asset to the counterparty. The Company evaluates the point in time at which a counterparty obtains control of the nonfinancial assets, including whether or not the counterparty can direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, each distinct nonfinancial asset.
If the consideration promised in a contract is variable or includes a variable amount, the Company estimates the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised assets to a counterparty. Purchase consideration is variable if the amount the Company will receive is contingent on future events occurring or not occurring, even though the amount itself is fixed. The Company determines the total transaction price, including an estimate of any variable consideration, at contract inception and reassesses this estimate at each reporting date. The Company estimates the transaction price utilizing the expected value method. The expected value is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts.
The accounting for an arrangement with a put option depends on the amount the Company must pay to the counterparty in the event the counterparty exercises the put option, and whether the counterparty has a significant economic incentive to exercise its right. The accounting for put options requires the Company to assess at contract inception, whether the counterparty has a significant economic incentive to exercise its right, including how the repurchase price compares to the expected market value of the nonfinancial assets at the date of repurchase and the amount of time until the right expires. A customer has a significant economic incentive to exercise a put option when the repurchase price is expected to significantly exceed the market value of the good at the time of repurchase. The Company accounts for a put option as a sale of an asset or group of assets with a right of return, if the repurchase price is less than the original sales price and the customer does not have a significant economic incentive to exercise its right.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important, which could trigger an impairment review, include the following: significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; significant changes in the manner of the Company’s use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business; significant negative industry or economic trends; significant adverse changes in legal factors or in the business climate, including adverse regulatory actions or assessments; and significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period. In the event the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recorded.
Other assets of a reporting unit that are held and used may be required to be tested for impairment when certain events trigger interim goodwill impairment tests. In such situations, other assets, or asset groups, are tested for impairment under their respective standards and the other assets’ or asset groups’ carrying amounts are adjusted for impairment before testing goodwill for impairment as described below. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions or demand for the Company’s products or services will not change, which could result in long-lived asset impairment charges in the future.
Goodwill
The Company currently has reporting unit. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, goodwill totaled $
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of the acquired business over the acquisition date fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis (December 31) and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company considers its market capitalization and the carrying value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, including goodwill, when performing the Company’s goodwill impairment tests. The Company operates in reporting segment.
If a potential impairment exists, a calculation is performed to determine the fair value of existing goodwill. This calculation can be based on quoted market prices and / or valuation models, which consider the estimated future undiscounted cash flows resulting from the reporting unit, and a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved. Third-party appraised values may also be used in determining whether impairment potentially exists. In assessing goodwill impairment, significant judgment is required in connection with estimates of market values, estimates of the amount and timing of future cash flows, and estimates of other factors that are used to determine the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit. If these estimates or related projections change in future periods, future goodwill impairment tests may result in charges to earnings.
When conducting the Company’s annual or interim goodwill impairment assessment, the Company has the option to initially perform a qualitative evaluation of whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. The Company is also permitted to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company considers the guidance set forth in ASC 350, which requires an entity to assess relevant events and circumstances, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, financial performance and other relevant events or circumstances.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company bypassed the optional qualitative assessment and performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company utilizes an estimate of the market capitalization of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, a Level 1 input, based on the 30-day volume weighted average of the Company’s stock price immediately prior to December 31, 2025, to estimate the fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit. Based on the analysis, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit totaled $
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation expense for stock-based awards is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense, typically on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award) which is generally two to four years. Compensation expense for awards with performance conditions that affect vesting is recorded only for those awards expected to vest or when the performance criteria are met. The fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards is determined by the product of the number of shares or units granted and the grant date market price of the underlying common stock. The fair value of stock option and common stock purchase warrant awards is estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model (“Black-Scholes”). The Company utilizes the simplified method for estimating the expected term for options granted to employees due to the lack of available or sufficient historical exercise data for the Company for the applicable options terms. The Company accounts for forfeitures of awards as they occur. Estimates of expected volatility of the underlying common stock for the expected term of the stock option used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model are determined by reference to historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock and historical volatilities of similar companies.
Grants of equity-based awards (including warrants) to non-employees in exchange for consulting or other services are accounted for using the grant date fair value of the equity instruments issued.
A condition affecting the exercisability or other pertinent factors used in determining the fair value of an award that is based on an entity achieving a specified share price constitutes a market condition pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 718, “Stock based Compensation” (“ASC 718”). A market condition is reflected in the grant-date fair value of an award, and therefore, a Monte Carlo simulation model is utilized to determine the estimated fair value of the equity-based award. Compensation cost is recognized for awards with a market condition, provided the requisite service period is satisfied, regardless of whether the market condition is ever satisfied.
Cancellation of an existing equity-classified award along with a concurrent grant of a replacement award is accounted for as a modification under ASC 718. Total compensation cost to be recognized in connection with a modification and concurrent grant of a replacement award is equal to the original grant date fair value plus any incremental fair value, calculated as the excess of the fair value of the replacement award over the fair value of the original awards on the cancellation date. Any incremental compensation cost related to vested awards is recognized immediately on the modification date. Any incremental compensation cost related to unvested awards is recognized prospectively over the remaining service period, in addition to the remaining unrecognized grant date fair value.
Financing Costs
Specific incremental costs directly attributable to a proposed or actual offering of securities are deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the equity financing. In the event that the proposed or actual equity financing is not completed, or is deemed not likely to be completed, such costs are expensed in the period that such determination is made. Deferred equity financing costs, if any, are included in other current assets in the accompanying balance sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, financing costs charged against gross proceeds in connection with equity financings totaled $
Specific incremental costs directly attributable to a proposed or actual debt offering are reported in the balance sheets as a direct deduction from the face amount of the debt instrument. In the event that the proposed or actual debt financing is not completed, or is deemed not likely to be completed, such costs are expensed in the period that such determination is made. In the event that the Company elects to use the fair value option to account for debt instruments, all costs directly attributable to the debt offering are expensed as incurred in the statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, debt financing costs expensed as incurred in connection with debt financings totaled $
Debt
Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election
The Company accounted for certain promissory notes and convertible notes issued, as described at Note 6, under the fair value option election pursuant to ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”), as discussed below. The promissory notes accounted for under the FVO election are each debt host financial instruments containing embedded features which would otherwise be required to be bifurcated from the debt-host and recognized as separate derivative liabilities subject to initial and subsequent periodic estimated fair value measurements under ASC 815. Notwithstanding, ASC 825 provides for the “fair value option” election, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by ASC 825, to be afforded to financial instruments, wherein bifurcation of an embedded derivative is not necessary, and the financial instrument is initially measured at its issue-date estimated fair value and then subsequently remeasured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis at each reporting period date. The estimated fair value adjustments, subsequent to the issuance date, as required by ASC 825, are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) with respect to the portion of the fair value adjustment attributed to a change in the instrument-specific credit risk, with the remaining amount of the fair value adjustment recognized as other income (expense) in the accompanying statements of operations. With respect to the promissory notes described at Note 6, as provided for by ASC 825, the estimated fair value adjustments are presented in a respective single line item within other income (expense) in the accompanying statements of operations, since the change in fair value of the convertible notes payable was not attributable to instrument specific credit risk. The estimated fair value adjustment is included in interest expense in the accompanying statements of operations.
The fair value of the promissory notes described at Note 6 was estimated based on a calculation of the present value of the related cash flows (i.e. payments of principal and interest based on contractual agreement terms) using a discount rate that reflected market rates and related credit risk (Level 3 inputs). The FVO was elected for the promissory notes described at Note 6 due to the short-term nature of the promissory notes and to provide relevant and timely information regarding the current market value of the debt, which is marked to market at each balance sheet date reflecting the effects of market fluctuations and other factors.
Significant judgements and estimates may be required in connection with the determination of whether or not to elect the FVO for specific assets and/or liabilities. In addition, significant judgements and estimates may be required in connection with the determination of appropriate discount rates utilized in connection with present value related valuation techniques. Discount rate assumptions typically reflect the estimated yield to maturity of the debt instrument, incorporating the estimated market-implied rate of return an investor would receive if they held the debt until maturity, and taking into account all future cash flows and the current market price; adjusted for credit risk and market conditions. In addition, judgements and estimates are required in connection with the determination of the portion of subsequent fair value adjustments relate to instrument-specific credit risk, which are reflected in OCI, and the portion of subsequent fair value adjustments that relate to changes in interests rates or other variables, which are reflected in the statements of operations. Variations in any of these judgements and estimates could have a material impact on the Company’s financial results.
The Company may issue convertible debt instruments that include detachable common stock purchase warrants. The Company evaluates the terms of each instrument to determine the appropriate accounting treatment under ASC 825-10, “Fair Value Option,” ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASC 815-40”). The Company has elected the FVO for certain convertible debt instruments, as described at Note 6. Under the FVO, the entire debt instrument, including any embedded conversion feature, is initially recognized and subsequently measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings within other income (expense) in the statement of operations each reporting period. The fair value election eliminates the need to separately account for the embedded conversion feature under ASC 815-40.
Detachable warrants issued in connection with convertible debt are evaluated separately from the debt instrument. If the warrants meet the criteria for equity classification under ASC 815-40 (including the fixed-for-fixed equity scope exception and no cash-settlement provisions), the warrants are recorded in additional paid-in capital and are not subsequently remeasured. If the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification, they are accounted for as derivative liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The classification equity-linked instruments is reassessed at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the applicable period, the equity linked instrument shall be reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. If an equity-linked instrument is reclassified from an asset or a liability to equity, gains or losses recorded to account for the equity-linked instrument at fair value during the period that the contract was classified as an asset or a liability are not reversed. The equity-linked instrument is marked to fair value immediately before the reclassification.
At issuance, proceeds are allocated between the fair-value-option debt instrument and any separately issued equity-classified warrants based on their relative fair values. Transaction costs related to fair-value-option debt instruments are expensed as incurred. For equity-classified warrants, issuance costs are recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. Changes in the fair value of convertible debt for which the FVO has been elected may reflect changes in the Company’s credit risk, market interest rates, and the value of the conversion feature.
Debt Modifications and Extinguishments
Modifications to debt obligations are initially analyzed to determine whether the modification qualifies as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). A modification is a troubled debt restructuring if both (1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and (2) the lender grants the borrower a concession. In determining if a company is experiencing financial difficulties for a TDR, as contemplated by the applicable standard, several factors are considered including whether the Company is currently in payment default on any debt, if there is a high probability of future default without modification, bankruptcy considerations, or if there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. A lender is granting a concession when the effective borrowing rate on the restructured debt is less than the effective borrowing rate on the original debt. The recognition and measurement of the impact of a TDR on the financial statements depends on whether the future undiscounted cash flows specified by the new terms are greater (gain is recorded in the statements of operations for the difference) or less (no gain is recorded in the statements of operations for the difference) than the carrying value of the debt.
For an exchange of debt instruments or a modification of a debt instrument by a debtor and a creditor in a nontroubled debt situation, the Company initially evaluates whether the modified debt terms are "substantially different" from the original debt. An exchange of debt instruments or a modification of a debt instrument by a debtor and a creditor is deemed to have been accomplished with debt instruments that are substantially different if the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument. If the terms of a debt instrument are changed or modified and the cash flow effect on a present value basis is less than 10 percent, the debt instruments are not considered to be substantially different.
If the modification is not deemed to be substantially different, the modification is accounted for as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the debt, with a recalculated effective interest rate. If the modification is deemed to be substantially different, then the modification is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original debt and issuance of new debt, requiring the recognition of a gain or loss on the extinguishment in the statements of operations.
In an early extinguishment of debt for which the fair value option has been elected, the net carrying amount of the extinguished debt is determined to be equal to its fair value at the reacquisition date. As such, there is no difference between the carrying amount of the debt and its reacquisition price for which to recognize a gain or loss. Upon extinguishment the Company includes in net income only the cumulative amount of the gain or loss previously recorded in other comprehensive income for the extinguished debt that resulted from changes in instrument-specific credit risk, if any.
Debt or Other Liabilities Exchanged for Equity or Equity-Linked Instruments - Fair Value Option
The Company may settle or exchange debt instruments by issuing equity securities (i.e., common stock or preferred stock). Upon settlement or exchange of FVO-elected debt for the Company’s equity securities, the carrying amount of the debt immediately prior to settlement represents its fair value at the settlement date. Any difference between the fair value of the equity instruments (or other assets) issued and the carrying amount of the debt extinguished is recognized as a gain or loss in earnings within other income (expense) in the statements of operations at the time of the exchange. Equity instruments issued in settlement of debt are recorded in stockholders’ equity at their fair value on the settlement date. Any incremental direct costs associated with issuing equity securities are accounted for as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
The exchange of a liability (for example a liability-classified common stock purchase warrant) for an equity-classified instrument (for example an equity classified common stock purchase warrant) is accounted for as an extinguishment of the liability and issuance of a new equity-linked instrument at fair value. Any difference between the fair value of the equity instruments issued and the carrying amount of the liability extinguished is recognized as a gain or loss in other income (expense) in the statements of operations, as described above.
Transfers of Financial Assets
The Company accounts for transfers of financial assets as sales when it has surrendered control over the related assets. Whether control has been relinquished requires, among other things, an evaluation of relevant legal considerations and an assessment of the nature and extent of the Company’s continuing involvement with the assets transferred. Gains and losses stemming from transfers reported as sales, if any, are included in the statements of operations. Assets obtained and liabilities incurred in connection with transfers reported as sales are initially recognized in the balance sheets at fair value.
Transfers of financial assets that do not qualify for sale accounting are reported as collateralized borrowings. Accordingly, the related assets remain on the Company’s balance sheets and continue to be reported and accounted for as if the transfer had not occurred. Cash proceeds from these transfers are reported as liabilities, with attributable interest expense recognized over the life of the related transactions. Commitment fees charged irrespective of drawdown activity are recognized as expense on a straight line basis over the commitment period and included in other income (expense) in the statements of operations.
Concentration of Credit Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash equivalents in highly rated money market funds. Cash equivalents are also invested in deposits with certain financial institutions and may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Risks and Uncertainties
Concentrations. The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, or whose accounts receivable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts receivable, and vendors whose accounts payable balances individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total accounts payable, as follows:

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the income or loss by the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock for the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the income or loss by the weighted-average number of outstanding shares of common stock for the applicable period, including the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. During the periods presented, potentially dilutive common stock equivalents primarily consist of common stock potentially issuable in connection with the conversion of outstanding preferred stock including related AIRs, convertible notes payable, employee stock options, warrants issued to employees and non-employees in exchange for services and warrants issued in connection with financings.
A reconciliation of net loss to net loss attributable to common stockholders is as follows for the periods presented:

The Company issued certain prefunded warrants with a nominal exercise price, as described in Note 7. Due to the fact that the holders of prefunded warrants to purchase Common Stock have the present ability to obtain common shares of the Company for little or effectively no additional consideration, the prefunded warrants are treated as common shares outstanding for purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share.
Modifications and Exchanges of Preferred Stock and Preferred Stock Instruments
Preferred Stock
Changes to the terms of the Company’s preferred stock or exchanges of shares of the Company’s preferred stock for another, are assessed to determine whether the changes or exchange should be accounted for as either a modification or an extinguishment. This assessment can be done either qualitatively or quantitatively based upon the significance of the change. When preferred stock is modified in a manner that cannot be reliably assessed qualitatively, the Company performs a quantitative test to determine whether the modification or exchange should be accounted for as a modification or an extinguishment.
The Company applies the cash flow model used to assess debt modifications in ASC 470-50, “Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments”, to determine whether a modification or exchange of preferred stock should be accounted for as a modification or extinguishment. Under that model, the present value of the contractual cash flows is compared before and after a modification or exchange. If the present value of the contractual cash flows is ten percent or more, the modification or exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment; if the present value of the contractual cash flows differs by less than ten percent, the modification or exchange is accounted for as a modification.
If the assessment results in an extinguishment, then the difference between the fair value of the new or modified preferred stock and the carrying value of the original preferred stock is recognized as a reduction of, or increase to, retained earnings, as a deemed dividend. The difference is also recognized as an adjustment to earnings available to common shareholders for purposes of calculating earnings per share. If the assessment results in a modification, the Company measures any transfer of value between preferred shareholders and common shareholders as the difference between the fair value of the preferred stock before and after the modification or exchange, measured on the modification or exchange date. Transfers of value are recorded as a reduction of, or increase to, retained earnings as a deemed dividend. In addition, transfers of value are recognized as an adjustment to earnings available to common shareholders for purposes of calculating earnings per share.
Preferred Stock Instruments
For preferred stock instruments classified as liabilities under ASC 480 (see placement agent and AAA Junior Preferred related warrants described at Note 7), the Company follows the accounting models for the modification or extinguishment of debt, which require that modifications or exchanges of preferred stock instruments classified as liabilities are considered extinguishments, with gains or losses recognized in current earnings if the terms of the new instrument and/original instrument are substantially different.
Preferred Stock Dividends
Dividends on preferred stock paid in another class of stock are recorded at the fair value of the shares issued as a charge to retained earnings. Dividends declared on preferred stock that are payable in the Company’s common shares are deducted from earnings available to common shareholders when computing earnings per share. Dividends on preferred stock that are due, but unpaid, are reflected in accrued liabilities in the balance sheet until paid.
Certain of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock contain a conversion price down round feature subject to a contractual floor pursuant to the underlying rights in the applicable certificate of designation. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event that results in a reduction of the conversion price for an equity-classified convertible preferred stock, the Company measures the value of the effect of the feature as the difference between the fair value of the financial instrument without the down round feature, with a conversion price corresponding to the currently stated conversion price of the issued instrument, and the fair value of the financial instrument without the down round feature with a conversion price corresponding to the reduced conversion price upon the down round feature being triggered. The value of the effect of a down round feature that is triggered is recognized as a charge to retained earnings and a reduction to income available to common stockholders in the computation of earnings per share. Refer to the statements of stockholders’ equity for total charges to accumulated deficit as a result of the triggering of down round features related to outstanding preferred stock for the periods presented.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or income tax returns. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if all, or some portion, of such assets will more than likely not be realized, or if it is determined that there is uncertainty regarding future realization of such assets.
Under U.S. GAAP, a tax position is a position in a previously filed tax return, or a position expected to be taken in a future tax filing that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Tax positions are recognized only when it is more likely than not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not thresholds are measured using a probability weighted approach as the largest amount of tax benefit being realized upon settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. Management believes the Company has uncertain tax positions for the periods presented.
On July 4, 2025, H.R.1 – 119th Congress (2025-2026) (“H.R.1”) was signed into law. H.R.1 introduces changes to United States tax policy, trade regulations, and federal spending priorities. Key provisions include the extension and modification of tax provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modification of certain energy-related tax credits and incentives, and timing of deductions related to certain domestic expenses. The enactment of H.R.1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s statements of operations, financial position or cash flows for the periods presented herein.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the 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’s management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, 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, in consultation with legal counsel, 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 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 financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

Acquisition of Melon, Inc. – Contingent Consideration
On May 4, 2023 (“Melon Acquisition Date”), Super League entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Melon Purchase Agreement”) with Melon, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Melon”), pursuant to which the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Melon (the “Melon Assets”) (the “Melon Acquisition”).
Contingent consideration related to the Melon Acquisition was recorded as a liability in the accompanying balance sheets in accordance with ASC 480, which requires freestanding financial instruments where the Company must or could settle the obligation by issuing a variable number of its shares, and the obligation’s monetary value is based solely or predominantly on variations in something other than the fair value of the Company’s shares, to be recorded as a liability at fair value and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The fair value of the Melon Contingent Consideration on the respective valuation dates through to the end of fiscal year 2024 final earn out period was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model and measured using Level 3 inputs, as described at Note 2. Assumptions utilized in connection with utilization of the Monte Carlo simulation model for the periods presented included risk-free interest rates ranging from

Acquisition of Super Biz – Contingent Consideration
On October 4, 2021 (“Super Biz Closing Date”), the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Super Biz Purchase Agreement”) with Super Biz Co. and the founders of Super Biz (the “Founders”), pursuant to which the Company acquired (i) substantially all of the assets of Super Biz (the “Super Biz Assets”), and (ii) the personal goodwill of the Founders regarding Super Biz’s business (the “Super Biz Acquisition”).
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Super Biz Purchase Agreement, up to an aggregate amount $
The Super Biz Contingent Consideration was accounted for as post-combination services and expensed in the period that payment of any amounts of contingent consideration is determined to be probable and reasonably estimable. Contingent consideration is recorded as a liability in the accompanying balance sheets in accordance with ASC 480, which requires freestanding financial instruments where the Company must or could settle the obligation by issuing a variable number of its shares, and the obligation’s monetary value is based solely or predominantly on variations in something other than the fair value of the Company’s shares, to be recorded as a liability at fair value and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations.
As described below, in August 2024 the accrued Super Biz Contingent Consideration, comprised solely of the cash portion of the continent consideration for the final earn out period, was converted into an unsecured promissory note. The net change in fair market value related to accrued Super Biz Contingent Consideration for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 totaled $

The issuance of the Super Biz Note in exchange for the related accrued contingent consideration balance was accounted for as an extinguishment of the original liability due to the fact that the present value of the cash flows under the terms of Super Biz Note was determined to be at least 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original obligation. As a result, a loss on extinguishment totaling $
On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into (a) Amendment No. 1 to Super Biz Note (the “Drozdov Amendment”), originally issued on August 1, 2024, to Sam Drozdov (“Drozdov”)(the “Drozdov Note”); (b) Amendment No. 1 to Super Biz Note (the “Khakshoor Amendment”), originally issued on August 1, 2024, to Ben Khakshoor (“Khakshoor”) (the “Khakshoor Note”); and (c) Amendment No. 1 to Super Biz Note (the “Firepit Amendment”, and collectively with the Drozdov Amendment and the Khakshoor Amendment, the “Super Biz Note Amendments”), originally issued on August 1, 2024, to Firepit Partners Co. (f/k/a Bloxbiz Co.) (“Firepit”, and collectively with Drozdov and Khakshoor, the “Super Biz Lenders”) (the “Firepit Note”, and collectively with the Drozdov Note and the Khakshoor Note, the “Super Biz Amended Notes”).
Pursuant to the Super Biz Note Amendments, (a) the maturity date for each of the Super Biz Amended Notes was extended to August 1, 2025 (the “Amended Maturity Date”); and (b) beginning on June 1, 2025, through the Amended Maturity Date, the interest rate on each of the Super Biz Amended Notes was increased to
The June 13, 2025 modification of the Super Biz Note was accounted for as a modification as the lender did not grant any concessions and the debt terms were not determined to be “substantially different” from the original debt, as described at Note 2.
On July 8, 2025, the Company entered into exchange agreements with (i) Khakshoor, pursuant to which the Company and Khakshoor agreed that in exchange for the surrender and forgiveness of that certain promissory note issued to Khakshoor, dated August 1, 2024, and amended on June 13, 2025, with the principal and interest thereon being equal to $

On June 17, 2025, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “June 2025 Amendment”) to its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which became effective as of June 23, 2025, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-
All references to common stock, warrants to purchase common stock, options to purchase common stock, restricted stock, share data, per share data and related information contained in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the 2026 Reverse Split (and all other reverse splits described herein) for all periods presented.
Bylaw Amendment
On June 4, 2024, the Board approved an amendment (the “2024 Amendment”) to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, effective June 4, 2024, to reduce the number of shares that are required to be present at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders (a “Meeting”) for purposes of establishing a quorum. Prior to the 2024 Amendment, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock was required to establish a quorum for the transaction of business at a Meeting. As approved in the 2024 Amendment, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of not less than one-third () of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at a Meeting.
The Board adopted the 2024 Amendment to more practically obtain a quorum and conduct business at a Meeting. The Board based its decision on the increasing prevalence of brokerage firms opting to forgo discretionary or proportionate voting of the shares held by them in street name, which is making it increasingly difficult for companies with a large retail stockholder base to obtain a quorum of the majority. The change to the quorum requirement was made to improve the Company’s ability to hold Meetings when called.

Fiscal Year 2024 and Prior Filings of Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Convertible Preferred Stock – General
Certificates of Designation. In connection with each of the fiscal year 2024 and prior Preferred Stock Offerings in the table below, the Company filed CODs for each series with the State of Delaware. Use of net proceeds included working capital, general corporate purposes, and certain indebtedness (Series A Preferred only), including sales and marketing activities and product development.
Conversion Feature. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of preferred shares to be converted, multiplied by the applicable stated value, divided by the conversion price in effect at the time of the conversion, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, certain fundamental transactions and future issuances of equity securities, as described herein. The conversion price is equal to the “Minimum Price,” as defined in NASDAQ Rule 5635(d)(1), on the Preferred Stock Offering closing date.
Voting Rights. Each individual series of preferred stock shall vote together with the common stock on an as-converted basis, and not as a separate class, subject to the primary market limitations, except that holders of each individual series of preferred stock shall vote as a separate class with respect to (a) amending, altering, or repealing any provision of the respective series’ COD in a manner that adversely affects the powers, preferences or rights of the series, (b) increasing the number of authorized shares of the series, (c) authorizing or issuing an additional class or series of capital stock that ranks senior to or pari passu with the existing series with respect to the distribution of assets on liquidation, or (d) entering into any agreement with respect to the foregoing. In addition, no holder of a series of preferred stock shall be entitled to vote on any matter presented to the Company’s stockholders relating to approving the conversion of such holder’s series of preferred stock into an amount in excess of the primary market limitations.
Dividends. Holders of preferred stock, excluding holders of the Series AAA, AAA-2, AAA-3 and AAA-4 Junior preferred stock (collectively, “Series AAA Junior Preferred Stock”), were or will be entitled to receive dividends, subject to the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations, payable in the form of that number of shares of common stock equal to
In addition, subject to the beneficial ownership and primary market limitations, holders of preferred stock will be entitled to receive dividends equal, on an as-if-converted to shares of common stock basis, and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock when, as, and if such dividends are paid on shares of the common stock.
Liquidation Preferences. Upon any dissolution, liquidation or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of preferred stock (together with any Parity Securities (as defined in the respective Certificates of Designations) will be entitled to first receive distributions out of the Company’s assets in an amount per share equal to the preferred stock applicable stated value plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, whether capital or surplus before any distributions shall be made on any shares of common stock (after the payment to any senior security, if any).
Registration Rights. The Company and Yield Point in the Preferred Stock Offerings (including the Exchange) also executed separate registration rights agreements, pursuant to which the Company filed applicable registration statements on Form S-3.

Placement Agent Fees. The Company sold and/or exchanged the shares of preferred stock pursuant to placement agency agreements (the “Placement Agency Agreements”) with Aegis Capital Corporation, a registered broker dealer, which acted as the Company’s exclusive placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) for each series of the Preferred Stock Offerings and the Exchange (as described below). Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agency Agreements, in connection with the Preferred Stock Offerings and the Exchange, the Company paid the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee and non-accountable expense allowance as described in the table above by series, and have or will issue to the Placement Agent or its designees warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase common stock at the amounts and conversion prices disclosed in the table above. With respect to shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock issued in connection with the Exchange, the Placement Agent exchanged previously issued placement agent warrants to purchase
Exchange of Series AA, AAA and AAA Junior Preferred Stock for Series B Preferred Stock
On September 12, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended & Restated Exchange Agreement, Consent and Waiver (the “2025 AB Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders (the “2025 Exchange Preferred Stockholders”) of the Company’s Series AA, AAA and AAA Junior Preferred Stock, par value $
In connection with the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, the 2025 Exchange Preferred Stockholders, among other things, (i) agreed to terminate their additional investment rights, or AIRs, granted to them in their respective subscription agreements; (ii) waived any issuances by the Company of securities below the respective prior conversion price floors prior to the Exchange; (iii) waived any incurrence of indebtedness by the Company prior to the Exchange; (iv) agreed, for a period of six months following the date of the Exchange Agreements, to attend any annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders and vote their shares in accordance with management’s recommendation; and (v) provided a general release of the Company from any obligations that may exist under the terms of the Preferred Stock.
The 2025 Exchange was accounted for as an extinguishment of the 2025 Exchanged Preferred Stock, and therefore the difference between the fair value of the new / modified preferred stock and the carrying value of the original preferred stock, totaling
On October 20, 2025, the Company issued certain common stock purchase warrants to purchase an aggregate of
Each Series B Warrant offered will become exercisable beginning on the Series B Warrant Initial Exercise Date at the Series B Exercise Price, and will expire on the date that is one year from the Series B Warrant Initial Exercise Date, subject to the right to exercise during such one-year period with the prior written approval of the Company; provided that holders of the Series B Warrants will have the right to exercise their Series B Warrants during the time beginning on date the Company receives the Warrant Stockholder Approval and the Series B Warrant Initial Exercise Date in the event of a change of Control or other fundamental change (each as defined in the Series B Warrant).
The Series B Preferred Modification was accounted for as an extinguishment of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, and therefore the difference between the fair value of the new / modified preferred stock and the carrying value of the original preferred stock, totaling $
Direct costs incurred in connection with the Series B Preferred Modification included the issuance of
Exchange of Series A and AA for Series AAA Preferred Stock
In November and December 2023, in connection with the closing of the Series AAA Preferred rounds, the Company entered into certain Series A Exchange Agreements (the “Series A Agreements”) and Series AA Exchange Agreements (the “Series AA Agreements”, and collectively with the Series A Agreements, the “Series Exchange Agreements”), with certain holders (the “Holders”) of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, and Series AA Preferred Stock, pursuant to which the Holders exchanged an aggregate of
Common Stock Purchase Warrants – Liability Classified
Series AAA Junior-3 and Series AAA Junior-4 Warrants. The Series AAA Junior-3 and Series AAA Junior-4 subscription agreements entered into in September 2024, included the sale of an aggregate of
The Investor Warrants are exercisable at $
The September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrant agreements also contain a provision that states that, upon exercise of the warrant by an investor, if for any reason the Company fails to deliver the shares by the settlement date, the investor can require the Company to make a cash payment (“Buy-In Provision”). The cash payment would be based on the amount (if any) that the investor lost by having to purchase shares in the open market because of the Company’s failure to deliver the shares.
As a result of the Buy-In Provision, the ability to deliver shares upon exercise of the Investor Warrants in some circumstances may not be generally within the control of the Company as contemplated by the accounting standards, and thus, a partial cash settlement may be required outside of the Company’s control. As such, the September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants do not meet the requirements for equity classification, and therefore, the fair value of the September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants are recorded as a liability on the balance sheets and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Refer to the table below.
Placement Agent Warrants. The Placement Agent Warrants issued in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock, Series AA Preferred Stock and Series AAA Preferred Stock (including the Exchange), described above, include provisions that are triggered in the event of the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the underlying warrant agreement, which contemplates the potential for certain transactions that result in a third-party acquiring more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company for cash or other assets. Given the existence of multiple classes of voting stock for the Company, as described above, the Fundamental Transaction provisions in the warrant agreements could result in a 50% or more change in ownership of outstanding common stock, without a 50% change in voting interests. As such, the Placement Agent Warrants are not eligible for the scope exception under ASC 815, and therefore, the fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants are recorded as a liability on the balance sheets and re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. Refer to the table below.
The fair value and change in the fair value of the warrant liabilities related to the September 2024 Series AAA Junior Investor Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants, measured using Level 3 inputs, and the related income statement impact was comprised of the following for the applicable periods presented, as of December 31:

STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS |
The Super League 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was approved by the Board and the stockholders of Super League in October 2014. The 2014 Plan was subsequently amended as further described below. The 2014 Plan allows grants of stock options, stock awards and performance shares with respect to common stock of the Company to eligible individuals, which generally includes directors, officers, employees, advisors and consultants. The 2014 Plan provides for both the direct award and sale of shares of common stock and for the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock. Options granted under the 2014 Plan include non-statutory options as well as incentive options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Approval of the 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
On June 9, 2025, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2025 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”) which (i) reserves thereunder
The Board administers the 2025 Plan and determines which eligible individuals are to receive option grants or stock issuances under the 2025 Plan, the times when the grants or issuances are to be made, the number of shares of common stock subject to each grant or issuance, the status of any granted option as either an incentive stock option or a non-statutory stock option under the federal tax laws, the vesting schedule to be in effect for the option grant or stock issuance and the maximum term for which any granted option is to remain outstanding. The exercise price of options is generally equal to the fair market value of common stock of the Company on the date of grant. Options generally begin to be exercisable one month after grant and typically expire

Stock Awards or Sales Under the stock award or sales program, eligible individuals may be issued shares of common stock of the Company directly, upon the attainment of performance milestones or the completion of a specified period of service or as a bonus for past services. Under this program, the purchase price for the shares will not be less than |
The initial reserve under the 2014 Plan was
Super League issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options, the grant of restricted stock, or the delivery of shares pursuant to vested restricted stock units. The compensation committee of the Board may amend or modify the 2025 Plan at any time, subject to any required approval by the stockholders of the Company, pursuant to the terms therein. In the event that any outstanding option or other right for any reason expires or is canceled or otherwise terminated, the shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such option or other right is returned and available for the purposes of this Plan.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded full valuation allowances against its domestic net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty regarding future realizability pursuant to guidance set forth in the FASB ASC Topic No. 740, “Income Taxes.” In future periods, if the Company determines it will more likely than not be able to realize these amounts, the applicable portion of the benefit from the release of the valuation allowance will generally be recognized in the statements of operations in the period the determination is made.
The Company assesses whether a valuation allowance should be recorded against its deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence, using a “more likely than not” realization standard. The four sources of taxable income that must be considered in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized are as follows: (1) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences (i.e., offset of gross deferred tax assets against gross deferred tax liabilities); (2) taxable income in prior carryback years, if carryback is permitted under the applicable tax law; (3) tax planning strategies and (4) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. In assessing whether a valuation allowance is required, significant weight is to be given to evidence that can be objectively verified. A significant factor in the Company’s assessment is that the Company has been in a three-year historical cumulative loss position as of the end of December 31, 2025. After a review of the four sources of taxable income (as described above) and after consideration of the Company’s continuing cumulative loss position as of December 31, 2025, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets as presented in the table above. The change in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 totaled $
At December 31, 2025, the Company had U.S. federal, state income tax, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $
The state and local income taxes which comprise the majority of the state and local income taxes, net of federal effect category are: (1) California, (2) New York, (3) New York City, (4) Texas, and (5) Florida.
Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as well as similar state provisions. The Company has not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since the Company’s formation due to the complexity and cost associated with such a study, and the fact that there may be additional such ownership changes in the future.
ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Topic also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Topic requires an entity to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. In addition, the Topic permits an entity to recognize interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties either as income tax expense or operating expenses. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties as income tax expense. There were uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2025.
The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, and various state and local jurisdictions where the Company conducts business. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding tax audits. Currently there are no audits in process or pending from Federal, state or foreign tax authorities. Federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination for a period of three to four years after filing.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, there were no cash amounts paid for income taxes.
On July 4, 2025, H.R.1 – 119th Congress (2025-2026) (“H.R.1”) was signed into law. H.R.1 introduces changes to United States tax policy, trade regulations, and federal spending priorities. The main impacts of H.R.1 for the Company are the ability to deduct domestic Sec. 174 R&D costs for tax years 2025 forward, 100% bonus depreciation, and changes to 163(j) interest limitations to remove depreciation and amortization expense from adjusted taxable income. These changes do not have a material impact on the Company’s taxable position. The Company is electing under H.R.1 to continue to amortize Sec. 174 costs capitalized in 2022-2024 through the remaining lives of the assets instead of taking a one-time deduction in 2025 for all unamortized amounts.

Pending or Threatened Claims
The Company may periodically be involved in legal proceedings and regulatory matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including contractual disputes, employment-related matters, and other commercial legal matters. Legal fees and other defense costs incurred in connection with such matters are recorded in operating expenses as incurred in the period incurred, within general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. Reimbursements from insurance carriers, if any, related to legal defense costs are recognized when recovery is considered probable and reasonably estimable. Insurance recoveries, when recognized, are recorded separately from the related legal expense and are not offset against legal costs in the statements of operations.
Existing Pending or Threatened Claims
Global Leisure Partners, LLC, and Blackwatch Advisors, LLC vs. Super League Enterprise, Inc. On January 26, 2026, a complaint was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by Global Leisure Partners, LLC and Blackwatch Advisors, LLC (the “Plaintiff”). Formal service of process on the complaint occurred on February 12, 2026. The complaint alleges, among other things, breach of contract and related claims arising from the Company’s completion of a series of financing transactions during the fiscal year. The Plaintiff seeks unspecified damages, together with interest, attorneys’ fees and other relief.
The Company believes the claims are wholly without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. Based on the Company’s assessment of the facts currently known, and after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company believes that the likelihood of a material loss is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2025. Litigation is inherently uncertain, and while the Company believes the claims lack merit, an unfavorable outcome could occur. However, at this time, the Company does not see the need to, nor can it reasonably estimate any possible loss or range of loss associated with this matter.
Settlement of Pending or Threatened Claims
Pioneer Capital Anstalt. In May 2024, the Company settled a dispute concerning the interpretation of certain financial terms contained within the Series AA and Series AA-2 Preferred Stock certificates of designation filed in connection with the Series AA and Series AA-2 Preferred Stock Offerings (“Pioneer Settlement”). Pioneer Capital Anstalt (“Pioneer”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking monetary damages and specific performance concerning the interpretation and calculation of certain financial terms applicable to Pioneer’s additional investment rights agreements acquired in connection with Pioneer’s participation in the Series AA and Series AA-2 Preferred Stock Offerings (“Pioneer AA AIRs”) (“Pioneer Action”). In order to avoid further expense, costs, and time to litigate the action, the Parties resolved the dispute, resulting in the modification of the conversion price and conversion floor price applicable to the Pioneer AA AIRs from prices ranging from $
In addition, in connection with the settlement, the Company issued to Pioneer
The Company utilized an option pricing model, employing the back solve method for purposes of determining the implied common stock value of the Company for input into a Black Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the Pioneer AA AIRs immediately before and after the modifications described above, using Level 3 inputs.

SEGMENT REPORTING |
The Company utilizes the management approach to identify the Company’s operating segments, based on information reported internally to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to make resource allocation and performance assessment decisions. The Company’s CODM is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
An operating segment of a public entity has all the following characteristics: (1) it engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expense; (2) its operating results are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (3) its discrete financial information is available. Based on the applicable criteria under the standard, the components of the Company’s operations are its (1) media and advertising component, including its publishing and content studio component; and (2) the Company’s direct-to-consumer component. A reportable segment is an identified operating segment that also exceeds the quantitative thresholds described in the applicable standard.
Based on the applicable criteria under the standard, including quantitative thresholds, the Company determined it has operating segment and reportable segment, operated primarily in domestic markets for the periods presented, as the CODM regularly reviews and manages the Company’s operations, business activities and financial performance and allocates resources as a single operating and reportable segment at the entity level.
Super League’s single reportable segment derives revenues from customers as summarized at Note 2, “Revenue Recognition.” The accounting policies of the Company’s single reporting segment are described in the summary of significant accounting policies herein.
The chief operating decision maker assesses performance, establishes management compensation and decides how to allocate resources for the single reporting segment, primarily by monitoring actual results versus the annual plan, based on total revenues, net operating income (loss) and net income (loss) as reported in the statements of operations. The CODM does not evaluate segment performance using entity level balance sheet information.
The significant expenses reviewed by the CODM are cost of revenue; selling, marketing and advertising expense; engineering, technology and development expense; and general and administrative expense, as presented in the statements of operations, including noncash amortization and noncash stock compensation expense included in the expense categories. Selling, marketing and advertising expense, engineering, technology and development expense, and general and administrative expense include noncash amortization expense and noncash stock compensation expense, which is disclosed in Note 2 and Note 3, respectively. Other segment items consist of contingent consideration, loss on intangible asset disposal, impairment of intangible assets, interest expense, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments and other income (expense) items, as presented in the statements of operations.

Entry into Asset Purchase Agreement – Misfits Ads Business
On March 16, 2026, the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Misfits Purchase Agreement”) with Esports Now, LLC (“Misfits”), pursuant to which Misfits has agreed to sell certain assets strictly constituting the Misfits Ads Business (the “Misfits Purchased Assets”) to the Company, and the Company has agreed to assume certain liabilities related to the Misfits Purchased Assets (the “Misfits Transaction”).
As consideration for the Misfits Purchased Assets, the Company has agreed to pay to Misfits the following guaranteed consideration for the Misfits Purchased Assets: (A) at the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (the “Misfits Closing”): (i) a cash payment in the amount of $
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, up to an aggregate of (i) $
The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type. Misfits and the Company have, among other things as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, agreed to take all necessary action such that, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Misfits Closing, the Company will cause a vacant seat on the Company’s Board of Directors to be filled by appointment by a designee of Misfits; provided, that such designee must be qualified to serve on a public company’s board of directors and meet the requirements of an “independent director” pursuant to the rules and regulations of Nasdaq.
The obligations of the Company and Misfits to consummate the Misfits Transaction are subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the receipt of the approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s shares present in person or represented by proxy at a stockholder meeting, to be held by the Company in order to approve the issuance of the Misfits Closing Share Consideration and, if earned, the Earnout Shares, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), (ii) receipt of any necessary regulatory approvals, (iii) receipt of all necessary consents to the assignment of certain contracts from Misfits to the Company that make up a part of the Misfits Purchased Assets, and (iv) the execution and delivery of the Registration Rights Agreement (as more specifically set forth below).
The Purchase Agreement contains: (i) representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and Misfits that are customary for a transaction of this nature, including among others, covenants by Misfits regarding the validity of certain material contracts entered into between Misfits and third-parties being assigned to the Company, title to the Misfits Purchased Assets, the condition and sufficiency of the Misfits Purchased Assets, Misfit’s ownership and rights to its intellectual property, and the investment representations of Misfits; and (ii) customary indemnification provisions whereby Misfits will indemnify the Company for certain losses arising out of inaccuracies in, or breaches of, the representations, warranties and covenants of Misfits and certain other matters, subject to certain caps and thresholds.
Upon issuance of the Misfits Warrant at the Misfits Closing, the Misfits Warrant will entitle the holders to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock (or Misfits Pre-Funded Warrants) issued at the Misfits Closing as Misfits Closing Shares and shares underlying the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant. The Misfits Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance, expire two years from the date of issuance, and have an initial exercise price of $
The Misfits Warrants also contain a call feature, whereby, after the Company has registered the Misfits Warrant Shares on an effective registration statement filed with the SEC, the Company has the option, but not the obligation, and in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to purchase the Misfits Warrant from the Holder at a price of $
Upon issuance of the Misfits Pre-Funded Warrant at the Misfits Closing, the exercise price per underlying share of common stock will be $
