NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2022
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION & SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Overview
KeyStar Corp. (the “Company,” “we”, “us” and “our”) was incorporated on April 16, 2020, under the laws of the State of Nevada, as KeyStar Corp. The company has two wholly owned subsidiaries, one was formed on December 21, 2021, under the State of Nevada, as UG Acquisition Sub, Inc., the second KeyStar TN LLC was formed on December 9, 2022.
Prior to September 15, 2022, our business consisted of the retail sale of masks and similar products, and convention services (together, the “Prior Business”). Through our e-commerce sales channel, we sold KN-95 facemasks, disposable facemasks, and disinfectant wipes through an online store in the United States of America. Through our convention sales channel, we offered convention services, which connect US buyers to Chinese manufacturers. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many traditional conventions were postponed in the United States. Accordingly, our convention services had been intended to offer online (or virtual) convention services to potential customers. However, as a result of the commencement of the lifting of many travel restrictions, we adjusted our convention services from coordinating virtual conventions to focusing on certain traditional on-site convention services. Through our KeyStarCorp.com website, we offered trade show booth staffing, trade show booth design, manufacturing, and turn-key trade show booths.
As of June 15, 2022, we hired a new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer along with certain key employees of ZenSports, Inc. to explore business opportunities related to software and mobile application development and services related to such technology. On August 26, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to purchase certain technological assets from ZenSports, Inc. The assets were purchased to allow us to offer gambling and entertainment opportunities through technology, principally the online gaming technology and use of the name ZenSports. We did not acquire all the assets of the Company, the assets we didn’t purchase include, among other assets, ZenSport’s legal entity name “ZenSports, Inc.” and those assets related to ZenSports’ physical casino called the Big Wheel Casino, located in Lovelock, Nevada. See Notes 3, 4, and 10.
On September 12, 2022, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement between the Company and Excel Members, LLC (“Excel”), a company controlled by Bruce Cassidy, the chairman of our board of directors, to acquire certain assets of Excel a company of which a Company controlled by Mr. Cassidy is the manager, and effectively has a controlling interest. Excel acquired certain assets of a company, Ultimate Gamer, LLC, which was formerly an Esports tournament company, through the assignment for the benefit of the creditor’s court process. See Notes 3, 4, and 10.
On September 15, 2022, we executed an assignment and assumption agreement whereby we assigned our e-commerce sales channel and the convention services operating assets to TopSight Corporation (“TopSight”), a company owned by our former Chief Financial Officer Zixiao Chen, effectively discontinuing our historical operations.
After the foregoing transactions, we have effectively ceased our Prior Business operations and assembled a comprehensive platform capability that enables both business-to-business and direct-to-consumer offerings within the online sports betting, eSports, and fintech/digital currency markets. The platform is targeted at global business opportunities and has been designed as a flexible foundation for corporate growth.
Effective January 10, 2023, Mr. John Linss (“Linss”) resigned as a member of the Company’s board of directors (“Board”) and as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Principal Executive Officer, President, and Chief Technology Officer pursuant to the terms of a Separation Agreement and Release dated the same date.
On January 10, 2023, the Board appointed Mark Thomas as the new Chief Executive Officer, Principal Executive Officer, President, and Chief Technology Officer of the Company. Prior to accepting the new position Mr. Thomas was the Company’s Chief Product Officer and was the founder and former Chief Executive Officer of ZenSports, Inc.
| F-7 |
As part of the change in Chief Executive Officers the Board and Mr. Thomas laid out a plan to change the Company’s business focus from the aforementioned comprehensive platform capability that enables both business-to-business and direct-to-consumer offerings within the online sports betting, eSports, and fintech/digital currency markets. To a singular focus on business-to-consumer (B2C) sports betting in one targeted jurisdiction, Tennessee, for up to a two-year period. Management is in the process of finalizing and executing the change in business focus. See note 15.
Basis of Presentation
The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022, filed on October 13, 2022. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented.
Operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2023. The condensed balance sheet at March 31, 2023, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. for complete financial statements.
Fiscal Year End
The Company’s fiscal year-end is June 30.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Going Concern
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $
The Company is dependent upon, among other things, achieving a level of profitable operations and receiving additional cash infusions including securing additional lines of credit and raising additional capital through placement of preferred and/or common stock in order to implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in order to continue as a going concern. The Company is funding its initial operations by securing a related party line of credit, issuing preferred stock, and issuing common stock through private placements.
| F-8 |
We cannot be certain that capital will be provided when it is required or in amounts sufficient to meet our operating requirements. Management believes the existing shareholders, the prospective new investors, and future sales will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due and will allow the development of its core business operations. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
Cash and Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash includes
amounts deposited in financial institutions in excess of insurable Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC) limits. At times throughout
the year, the Company may maintain cash balances in certain bank accounts in excess of FDIC limits. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s
cash balance exceeded the FDIC limits by $
Equipment
Equipment
is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the
asset’s estimated useful life.
| Equipment |
Intangible Assets, internally developed capitalized software, website development costs, and capitalized gaming licenses
Internally developed capitalized software, website development costs, and capitalized costs of gaming licenses are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life. The capitalization policy for the company is to capitalize intangible assets greater than $5,000. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Internally developed capitalized software and development and capitalized gaming license costs are included in intangible assets on the balance sheet. When retired or otherwise disposed of, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from the disposition is reflected in earnings.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
| Capitalized software, website development and capitalized gaming licenses |
Business intellectual property
Business intellectual property is principally related to technological assets acquired through Asset Purchase Agreements which are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Business intellectual property is included in intangible assets on the balance sheet. When retired or otherwise disposed of, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and the net difference less any amount realized from the disposition is reflected in earnings. As of March 31, 2023, the business intellectual property had not been placed in service and as such there was no depreciation during the period. See Note 3.
| F-9 |
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
| Business intellectual property |
At March 31, 2023, the Company acquired definite-lived intangible assets consisting of goodwill and trademarks.
Digital assets
Digital assets are carried at cost and are principally comprised of our SPORTS utility token and various digital assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, ICX, and USDT, with indefinite useful lives. The Company identifies the lowest traded value per currency in a fiscal quarter and if the value is lower than the recorded value, we record a permanent impairment at that time. Intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized.
Gaming licenses
Certain costs, generally legal and professional fees, are required to attain jurisdictional gaming licenses in order to legally operate our core sports betting business. Gaming licenses, with indefinite useful lives, are tested at least on an annual basis as to the assets that have been impaired. Intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized. Annual gaming license fees and legal and professional fees required to maintain the licenses are recorded as period costs in the statement of operations.
Goodwill
Goodwill is carried at cost and is principally related to business intellectual assets acquired, with indefinite useful lives. The Company tests at least on an annual basis whether with indefinite useful lives is impaired. Intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized.
Trademarks
Trademarks are carried at cost and are mainly related to branding and promotion, with indefinite useful lives. The Company tests at least on an annual basis whether trademarks with indefinite useful lives are impaired. Intangible assets determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized.
The Company conducts its annual impairment tests at June 30 of each year or whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. At March 31, 2023, management determined there was no impairment identified for any trademarks with indefinite useful lives.
Lease Commitments
The
Company has no long-term lease commitments. Effective January 10, 2023, The Company moved its headquarters to Miami Florida. As part
of the move effective January 1, 2023, the Company assumed the office lease of a related party, ZenSports, Inc. The lease expires on
The
Company rented office space for its former corporate headquarters in Las Vegas Nevada on a month-to-month lease for $
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company recognized the fair value of financial instruments in accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, “Fair Value Measurements”, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standard also expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;
| F-10 |
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The Company’s derivative liabilities are carried at fair value and are classified as Level 3 liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, related party notes payable, related party line of credit, and notes payable approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
The Company’s Derivative liabilities are determined based on “Level” 3 inputs, which are significant and unobservable and have the lowest priority. There were no transfers into our out of “Level 3” during the nine months ended March 31, 2023, or the year ended June 30, 2022.
| Description | Total fair value at March 31, 2023 | Quoted prices in Active markets (level 1) | Quoted prices in Active markets (level 2) | Quoted prices in Active markets (level 3) | ||||||||||||

| (1) |
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing and able maker participants. In general, the Company’s policy in estimating fair values is to first look at observable market prices for the identical assets and liabilities in active markets, where available. When these are not available other inputs used to model fair value such as prices of similar instruments, yield curves, volatilities., prepayment speeds, default rates credit spreads, rely first on observable data from active markets. Depending on the availability of observable inputs and prices, different valuation models could produce materially different fair value estimates. The values presented may not represent future fair value as discussed above.
Derivative Liabilities
he
Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and all derivative
instruments are reflected as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. The Company uses estimates of fair value
to value its derivative instruments. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between willing and able market participants. In general, the Company’s policy in estimating fair values is to first look at observable
market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets, where available. When these are not available, other inputs are
used to model fair value such as prices of similar instruments, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, default rates, and credit
spreads, relying first on observable data from active markets. Depending on the availability of observable inputs and prices, different
valuation models could produce materially different fair value estimates. The values presented may not represent future fair values and
may not be realizable. The Company categorizes its fair value estimates in accordance with ASC 820 based on the hierarchical framework
associated with the three levels of price transparency utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value as discussed above.
As of March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had a derivative liability of $

Players Balances
The player’s balances are comprised of sports betting deposits (when the company is operating its sports betting app) and eSports and other contest winnings. The balances are comprised of our SPORTS utility token and various digital assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, ICX, USDT, and USD.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as outlined in the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, which consists of five steps to evaluating contracts with customers for revenue recognition: (a) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identity the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price; and (v) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfied a performance obligation.
Revenue recognition for our Prior Business occurred at the time we satisfy a service performance obligation to our customers or when control of product transfers to customers upon shipment, provided there are no material remaining performance obligations required of the Company or any matters of customer acceptance. We only recorded revenue when collectability was probable. All payments are received upon order of services and prior to delivery of the product, so we have no accounts receivable.
The Company’s Prior Business was providing quality merchandise through its former online store in the United States of America. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company was focusing on providing disposable face masks and KN-95 face masks at affordable prices. Customers ordered and paid for the products through the online store, when the Company confirmed the order and payment, the Company delivered the product through common carriers, at which point the Company recognized revenue, as this is when our performance obligation is satisfied. The Company recorded actual sales returns when the customers return the products. The transaction price has not been affected by returns as the Company did have significant returns.
All
prior business operations, including sales and revenues, are included in the net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income
taxes in the statement of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recognized e-commerce sales of
products $-
For the three and the nine months that ended March 31, 2023, there were no revenues from our continuing operations. Revenues from operations are not expected to commence until we have been approved for a gaming license and have begun Sport Betting operations. During February 2023 we submitted our sports betting gaming application in Tennessee and are awaiting approval. We expect to generate revenues from our sports betting mobile app offerings within 1 to 2 months after we receive license approval. See note 15.
Cost of Revenues
Costs of revenues from our Prior Business primarily consisted of outsourced vendors for both types of revenues. The Company includes product costs (i.e., material, direct labor, and overhead costs) and shipping and handling expenses in cost of revenues. All prior business operations, including cost of revenues, are included in the net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the statement of operations. See Note 14.
There are currently no costs of revenues associated with our continuing operations.

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718m “Compensation- Stock Compensation”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
The Company accounts for Stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services as prescribed by ASC 718, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in Accounting Standards Updated (“ASE”) 2018-07.
The Company uses certain pricing models to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. This model is affected the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach. This process involves calculating the temporary and permanent differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which would be recorded on the Company’s balance sheet in accordance with ASC 740, which established financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The Company must assess the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and, to the extent the Company believes that recovery is not likely, the Company must establish a valuation allowance. Changes in the Company’s valuation allowance in a period are recorded through the income tax provision on the statements of operations.
ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.
Under
ASC 740-10, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is
more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized
if it has
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are determined by dividing the net earnings by the weighted-average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic EPS calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding under the treasury stock method. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were and potentially dilutive shares that need to be considered as common share equivalents and because of the net loss, the effect of these potential common shares is anti-dilutive, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a potential impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.

NOTE 9 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
On February 24, 2023, the Company entered into the second amended and restated discretionary non-revolving line of credit demand note (“LOC”). The LOC contain conversion options that qualify for embedded derivative classification The fair value of the liability is re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value is reported in the statement of operations as a gain or loss on change in fair value of derivatives. See note 1.
The table below sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2023:

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using Monte-Carlo model based on various assumptions. See note 1.
Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table shows the assumptions used in the calculations:

On December 28, 2021, the board of directors (the “Board”) approved the 2021 stock option plan (“2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan was subject to the approval of our stockholders within 12 months of the Board’s approval. We did not seek approval of the 2021 Plan from our stockholders on or before December 28, 2022, and no awards of any type were granted under the 2021 Plan.
On April 10, 2023, the Board terminated the 2021 Plan and approved a new stock option plan for our director’s officers, employees, advisors, and contractors containing the same terms and conditions as the 2021 Plan (the “2023 Plan”).

Overview
KeyStar Corp. (the “Company,” “we”, “us” and “our”) was incorporated on April 16, 2020, under the laws of the State of Nevada, as KeyStar Corp. The wholly owned subsidiary was formed on December 21, 2021, under the State of Nevada, as UG Acquisition Sub, Inc.
KeyStar Corp., through its Zensports branded offerings is a Sports wagering operator that offers traditional sports book plus peer-to-peer wagering through its ZenSports mobile platform. The Zensports platform offers a traditional sports book where customers can bet against the house, as well as a peer-to-peer sports betting marketplace. With ZenSports’ peer-to-peer marketplace, customers can create their own bets with their own odds and terms. Peer-to-peer bets can be shared with friends or via the app’s mobile two-sided marketplace, right from their phone.
Prior to September 15, 2022, our business consisted of the retail sale of masks and similar products, and convention services (together, “Prior Business”). Through our e-commerce sales channel, we sold KN-95 facemasks, disposable facemasks, and disinfectant wipes through an online store in the United States of America. Through our convention sales channel, we offered convention services, which connect US buyers to Chinese manufacturers. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many traditional conventions were postponed in the United States. Accordingly, our convention services had been intended to offer online (or virtual) convention services to potential customers. However, as a result of the commencement of the lifting of many travel restrictions, we adjusted our convention services from coordinating virtual conventions to focusing on certain traditional on-site convention services. Through our KeyStarCorp.com website, we offered trade show booth staffing, trade show booth design, manufacturing, and turn-key trade show booths. The above is collectively described as our historical operations.
On August 26, 2022, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to purchase certain technological assets from ZenSports, Inc. The assets were purchased to allow us to offer gambling and entertainment opportunities through technology, principally the online gaming technology and use of the name ZenSports. We did not acquire all the assets of the Company, the assets we didn’t purchase include, among other assets, ZenSport’s legal entity name “ZenSports, Inc.” and those assets related to ZenSports’ physical casino called the Big Wheel Casino, located in Lovelock, Nevada. These technological assets now comprise the underlying technology in our Sports wagering operator business through ZenSports mobile platform.

On September 12, 2022, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Excel Members, LLC (“Excel”), a company controlled by Bruce Cassidy, the chairman of our board of directors, to acquire certain assets of Excel a company of which a Company controlled by Mr. Cassidy is the manager, and effectively has a controlling interest. Excel acquired certain assets of a company, Ultimate Gamer, LLC, which was formerly an Esports tournament company, through the assignment for the benefit of the creditor’s court process.
On September 15, 2022, we entered into an agreement to assign all of the Prior Business’ rights, including certain of its assets and liabilities, to TopSight Corporation (“TopSight”), a company owned by Zixiao Chen, our former Chief Financial Officer until her resignation effective December 17, 2021. TopSight’s services were terminated concurrently.
As a result of the foregoing transactions, we have effectively ceased operations relating to our Prior Business and commenced operations relating to both B2B and B2C offerings within online sports betting, eSports, and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) fintech (collectively, “New Business”). With our New Business, augmented by net new development of products and services, we intend to pursue global business opportunities through a platform we’ve designed to be a flexible foundation for corporate growth.
Through our ZenSports brand, we can offer a modern, full-featured, native mobile, and global online sports betting platform incorporating a sports book, peer-to-peer betting, fiat ($, €, £, ¥, etc.), and digital currency for betting, eSports wagering, loyalty, and player retention.
Through our Ultimate Gamer brand, we can offer a modern, full-featured mobile and PC-based eSports tournament management platform designed to improve the overall experience and reduce digital friction for the 3.24 billion gamers that seek the ability to curate their online gaming experience in a personalized manner.
Through our Burstive brand, we can offer comprehensive financial services utilizing a DeFi backbone that will incorporate a blockchain-based digital currency and marketplace infrastructure. Burstive is integrated with our ZenSports and Ultimate Gamer brands, and together they provide differentiation in their respective markets and a foundation for success for white-label partners in online sports betting, eSports, e-commerce, and financial services.
Effective January 10, 2023, Mr. John Linss (“Linss”) resigned as a member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Principal Executive Officer, President, and Chief Technology Officer pursuant to the terms of a Separation Agreement and Release dated the same date.
On January 10, 2023, the Board appointed Mark Thomas as the new Chief Executive Officer, Principal Executive Officer, President, and Chief Technology Officer of the Company. Prior to accepting the new position Mr. Thomas was the Company’s Chief Product Officer and was the founder and former Chief Executive Officer of ZenSports, Inc.
As part of the change in Chief Executive Officers, the Board and Mr. Thomas laid out a plan to change the Company’s business focus from the aforementioned comprehensive platform capability that enables both business-to-business and direct-to-consumer offerings within the online sports betting, eSports, and fintech/digital currency markets. Currently, we are not pursuing a global licensing strategy for obtaining online gaming licenses and a go-to-market strategy to monetize our assets. As a result of the above change in leadership and per communications with the Board, we have repositioned our business model to a singular focus on business-to-consumer (B2C) sports betting in one targeted jurisdiction, Tennessee, for up to a two-year period. Management is in the process of finalizing and executing the change in business focus.
Being a start-up company, our Prior Business had limited revenues and limited operating history. Our New Business continues in a start-up mode as we aggregate our recent asset acquisitions and continue the development of our comprehensive platform capability. At present, we have submitted the full application for approval to the Tennessee Sports Wagering Advisory Council (SWAC) for approval. We are currently working directly with SWAC, legal counsel, and internally to build out our platform’s capabilities in order to facilitate and expedite the licensing process so that we can commence monetizing our assets. We believe we can be approved for licensing as early as the May 24, 2023 SWAC meeting, if all goes according to plan, as our license application is currently on the SWAC meeting agenda. We believe we currently have sufficient funding to satisfy the requirements of SWAC to go live. However, we will require additional funding post licensing. As such, as part of our growth strategy, we expect to continue to raise funds in order to support our strategic organic growth.

Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023, and 2022
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, we incurred net losses from continuing operations of $10,886,865 and $51,431, respectively, and net losses from discontinued operations of $0 and $1,005, respectively.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, we incurred net losses from continuing operations of $13,996,513 and $914,775 respectively, and net income (losses) from discontinued operations of $(9,380) and $5,770, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, there were no revenues from our continuing operations. Revenues from continuing operations are not expected to commence until we have been approved for a gaming licensing and have begun Sports Betting operations. In February 2023, we applied for a gaming license in Tennessee. We expect the license to be approved and to commence generating revenues in Tennessee as early as the end of May 2023.
The significant driver to our losses is principally related to salary, wages, and contracting fees to ready our acquired technology for operating in Tennessee. In addition, legal, professional and abandoned jurisdictional licensing fees associated with our licensing activities and legal fees associated with fundraising. Operating and sales and marketing costs contribute to our losses and are expected to increase over the coming months once we secure a gaming license and launch our sports betting operations. In addition, with had non-cash expenses contributing to our loss for compensation of $894,000 as a result of fully accelerating the amortization the Series C convertible preferred stock owned by our former Chief Executive Officer, John Linns, as part of an extinguishment of debt in the restructuring of the related party demand line of credit debt of 7,624,859 and a loss of $1,073,962 on the change in fair value of derivatives.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, we closed on the two above-noted acquisitions and spun off our Prior Business. We funded these activities by securing funding of $650,000 for the issuance of 2,166,665 shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, an aggregate of $2,542,500 from the issuance of 3,655,000 of our common stock from private placements, and from an increase in our related party demand line of credit from $250,000 to $4,000,000 on which we drew down $3,687.183 in principal borrowings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts payable and accrued expenditures, and capital expenditures, including the costs associated with internally developed software and attaining Gaming licenses.
As of March 31, 2023, we had total current assets of $845,103, total current liabilities of $12,883,039, and a total working capital deficit of $12,037,936. Net cash used in operating activities increased by $3,580,393 during the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in the use of cash in operating activities is principally the result of the increase in a net loss of $13,096,888, a $729,718 increase in net operating assets and liabilities offset by increases in non-cash transactions of $6,803,552 in loss on extinguishment of debt, an increase of $1,073,962 in loss on change in fair value of derivatives, and an increase non-cash compensation of $894,000.
| 4 |
The increase in net loss is primarily a result of our transitioning from our Prior Business to our New Business which resulted in a $5,049,032 increase in operating expenses, plus an increase in non-cash other expenses of $8,032,701. The increase in operating expenses is principally comprised of an increase in salaries and wages of $3,621,501, including $894,000 in non-cash compensation, operating expenses of $484,223, sales and marketing expenses of $165,527 and an increase in general and administrative expenses of $774,200.
The increase in salaries and wages is due to the change in our business from our Prior Business to our New Business. Our Prior Business outsourced all functions, as such there were no salaries and wages paid. The increase in general and administrative is principally comprised of legal and professional fees associated with our asset acquisitions, fundraising, attaining gaming licenses, and other legal and professional costs.
The increase in operating expenses is principally a result of incurring operating costs associated with our core business, such as web hosting and SAAS costs required to build out, maintain, and deliver our sports betting application.
The increase in other expenses primarily related to a $146,057 increase in interest expense along with increases in non-cash expenses of $6,803,552 in loss on extinguishment of debt and $1,073,962 in loss on change in fair value of derivative.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $2,317,692 during the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The increase is principally the result of the acquisition of certain assets of ZenSports and Ultimate Gamer, capitalized cost of our internally developed software, capitalized costs of attaining our Tennessee gaming license, and the costs associated with the disposition of our Prior Business.
Cash paid for the acquisitions of certain assets of ZenSports was $1,511,647. Cash paid for capitalized software was $541,636, which is principally comprised of labor costs. Cash paid for capitalized gaming license was $185,419, which is principally comprised of legal fees. Cash paid in connection with the disposition of our Prior Business was $77,000, which is principally related to the settlement of a related demand note payable to TopSight for $35,000, the accrued expenses payable to Ms. Chen of $20,000 and the payment of $22,000 for 2,000,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock owned by TopSight, a company owned by Ms. Chen our former Chief Financial Officer.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $6,647,936 during the nine months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The increase is principally from fundraising and financings used in our acquisitions and to support operations including software development and licensing costs.
The increase in net cash provided by financing is comprised of proceeds of $650,000 for the issuance of 2,166,665 shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, the receipt of $102,760 from subscriptions receivable relating to a prior offering of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, an aggregate of $2,542,500 from the issuance of 3,655,000 shares of our common stock from private placements and an increase of $3,647,738 from draw downs on our related party demand line of credit.
We were incorporated on April 16, 2020. Since inception, our efforts and operations from our Prior Business to the date of disposition have been devoted primarily to startup and development activities, resulting in negative cash flows and an accumulated deficit from inception through disposition on September 15, 2022. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, we closed on acquisitions of certain assets of ZenSports and Ultimate Gamer and divested our Prior Business.
We purchased the assets of ZenSports and Ultimate Gamer so we could offer gambling, eSports entertainment, and DeFi opportunities through the acquired technology we are currently enhancing. In January 2023, John Linss our former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) resigned and was replaced by our new CEO Mark Thomas. Mr. Thomas was the founder and remains the CEO of ZenSports, Inc., the company we acquired our sports betting technology from. As a result of this change in leadership and consultation with the Board, we have adjusted our business plan to solely focus on sports betting in one jurisdiction, Tennessee, for the foreseeable future. Our current management team believes this new focus will facilitate the revenue generation process more quickly and cost-effectively by focusing on our limited resources.
| 5 |
As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report, we have ceased all operations relating to our Prior Business and commenced executing our adjusted business plan for our New Business. Since our New Business has no history of generating revenues or operating successfully, we will be dependent upon, among other things, achieving a level of profitable operations and receiving additional cash infusions, including securing additional lines of credit and raising additional capital through the placement of preferred and/or common stock in order to implement our business plan. Because of our limited operating history, it is difficult to predict our capital needs on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. We will have limited capital available to us if we are unable to raise money through private equity offerings or find alternate forms of financing, which we do not have in place at this time.
We do not expect significant revenues in the short term as we transition from our Prior Business to our New Business and until we secure jurisdictional gaming licenses allowing us to generate revenues from our Sports Betting capabilities. We expect to incur significant increases in operating costs as we incur the costs of transitioning from our Prior Business to our New Business and continue to execute our adjusted New Business operating plan. The expected significant increases in costs will include, but not be limited to, costs relating to obtaining gaming licenses, technology development, sales and marketing, and legal and professional fees.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2023, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Going Concern
As of March 31, 2023, we have a working capital deficit of $12,037,936. We had a net loss from continuing operations of $13,996,513 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023. We currently have no customers and we do not expect to generate significant revenues in the short term as we are transitioning from our Prior Business to our New Business. We cannot generate sports betting revenues until we secure a jurisdictional gaming license.
We expect to incur significant increases in operating costs as we incur the costs of transitioning from our Prior Business to our New Business and begin to execute our adjusted New Business operating plan. The expected significant increases in costs will include, but not be limited to, costs relating to obtaining gaming licenses, technology development, sales and marketing, and legal and professional fees.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Because of these conditions, we will require additional working capital to develop business operations. Management’s plans are to raise additional working capital through the sale of debt and/or equity instruments as well as to generate revenues once we attain a gaming license. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve the level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If adequate working capital is not available, we may not be able to continue our operations.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2023. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
