Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 

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, 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 judgments.

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 we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties, if any. We consider the explicit terms of the revenue contract, which are typically written and executed by the parties, our customary business practices, the nature, timing, and the amount of consideration promised by a customer in connection with determining the transaction price for our revenue arrangements. Refunds and sales returns historically have not been material.

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 and digital collectibles.

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 we utilize a reseller partner with respect to media and advertising sales arrangements.

In the event a customer pays us consideration, or we have a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional, prior to our transfer of a good or service to the customer, we reflect the contract as a contract liability when the payment is made or the payment is due, whichever is earlier. In the event we perform by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, we reflect 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 judgments, assumptions and estimates may be required to determine each parties rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred, each parties 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 judgments, assumptions and estimates are made regarding revenue arrangements in any specific period, our periodic financial results may be materially affected.

Media and Advertising

Media and advertising revenue primarily consists of direct and reseller sales of our 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 our Minehut Minecraft platform. Media assets include static billboards, video billboards, portals, 3D characters, Pop Ups and other media products. We work with Brands to determine the specific campaign media to deploy, target ad units and target demographics. We customize 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 our Super Biz Roblox platform, the Roblox Immersive Ads platform, other platforms, and prior to the Minehut Sale, on our 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, we typically insert 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 we deliver 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 our on-platform media contracts is the delivery of a series of impressions. Each impression required to be delivered in the series that we promise to transfer to the Brand meets the criteria to be a performance obligation satisfied over time, due to the fact that (1) our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company, and (2) we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date per the terms of the contract. Further, the same method is used to measure our 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, we account 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. Our 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 influencers 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, we typically have 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 our owned and affiliate game worlds, and revenue generated in connection with our production, curation and distribution of entertainment content for our 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, we also created custom integrations on the digital property “Minehut” for Brands.

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 we provide 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 our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and we typically have 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 our production, curation and distribution of entertainment content for our own network of digital channels and media and entertainment partner channels. We distribute three primary types of content for syndication and licensing, including: (1) our 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 our 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 months 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 we promise 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 our performance as we perform, our performance does not typically create or enhance an asset that the customer controls, and while our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use, we typically have 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, we have 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.

InPvP Platform Generated Sales Transactions

Through a relationship with Microsoft, the owner of Minecraft, we operated a Minecraft server world for players playing the game on consoles and tablets. We were one of seven partner servers with Microsoft that, while “free to play,” monetize the players through in-game micro transactions. We 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 remited the applicable revenue share to us pursuant to the terms of the Microsoft agreement.

Revenue for digital goods sold on the platform is recognized when Microsoft (our partner) collects 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.

Refer to “Sale of Mineville” below for information concerning the sale of InPvP, LLC in May 2025.

Revenue was comprised of the following for the three and six months ended June 30:

Contract assets totaled $166,000 at June 30, 2025 and $372,000 at December 31, 2024. Contract liabilities totaled $1,036,000 at June 30, 2025, $50,000 at December 31, 2024, and $399,000 at December 31, 2023

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 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 pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 606-10-50-14, as the performance obligations are part of contracts that have original durations of one year or less.

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.

Advertising

Advertising costs include the cost of ad production, social media, print media, marketing, promotions, and merchandising. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs are included in selling, marketing and advertising expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $4,000 and $22,000, respectively. Advertising expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were $13,000 and $56,000, respectively.

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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no allowance for expected credit losses was deemed necessary.

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 condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated 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 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 preferred stock and the equity-linked instrument following the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 470, “Debt,” (“ASC 470”).

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 we consider 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 our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our 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 our 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.

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. 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-Merton 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.

Total noncash stock-based compensation expense for the periods presented was included in the following financial statement line items: 

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 75,000 shares for issuance in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock option grants (“Option Grants”), among other derivative securities, and (ii) provides for the integration of one hundred percent (100%) of the reserved shares available under the Company’s existing 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) including (a) all shares of common stock reserved and unaffiliated with any issued and outstanding restricted stock units and stock option grants under the 2014 Plan totaling 3,708 shares, (b) all shares of common stock relating to unvested restricted stock units under the 2014 Plan totaling 3,204 shares, and (c) all shares of common stock relating to issued and outstanding stock option grants totaling 8,433. In connection with the adoption of the 2025 Plan, the Board also approved the cancellation of all issued and outstanding stock options under the 2014 Plan (2014 Plan Canceled Awards”).

Concurrent with the cancellation of the 2014 Plan Canceled Awards the Board approved the issuance of 70,900 equity awards under the 2025 Plan, comprised of 40,104 stock options and 30,796 RSUs to employees with the following general terms: 1) exercise price of $5.08 per share for stock options, 2) shares of common stock associated with all RSUs valued at $5.08 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 $408,000 which will be recognized prospectively over the remaining modified service period of 2 years. Total incremental compensation cost related to the 2025 Exchanged Awards totaled $307,000, $165,000 of which related to vested awards as of the modification date and was recognized as expense immediately in the statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and $141,000 related to unvested awards which will be recognized prospectively over the remaining modified service period of 2 years.

Debt

Fair Value Option (“FVO”) Election

The Company accounted for certain promissory notes issued, as described at Note 5, 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. With respect to the promissory notes described at Note 5, 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 condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value of the promissory notes described at Note 5 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 5 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. Variations in any of these judgements and estimates could have a material impact on our financial results.

Debt Modifications

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 condensed consolidated statements of operations for the difference) or less (no gain is recorded in the condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated 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.

Reportable Segments

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 one operating segment and one 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 condensed consolidated 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 consolidated results versus the annual plan, based on consolidated revenues, net operating income (loss) and net income (loss) as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The CODM does not evaluate segment performance using consolidated 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations, including noncash amortization and noncash stock compensation expenses 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net 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. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents primarily consist of common stock potentially issuable in connection with the conversion of outstanding preferred stock, convertible notes payable, employee stock options, warrants issued to employees and non-employees in exchange for services and warrants issued in connection with financings.

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 condensed consolidated 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 no 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 Company is currently assessing the potential implications of the legislation on its operations and on our condensed consolidated financial statements
