Note 2 - Going Concern

 

In the pursuit of SharpLink’s previous long-term growth strategy centered on the development of its fan activation and conversion software and related businesses, the Company has sustained continued operating losses. During the 12 months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $(4,473,643) and $(11,248,598), respectively; and cash (used)/provided by operating activities from continuing and discontinued operations of $(22,814,486) and $582,887 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

On January 18, 2024, the Company completed the Sale of Business of our Sports Gaming Client Services and SportsHub Gaming Network business units for $22.5 million in an all cash transaction. In connection with the closing of the Sale of Business, SharpLink repaid in full all outstanding term loans and lines of credit with Platinum Bank, together with accrued but unpaid interest and all other amounts due in connection with such repayment under existing credit agreements, totaling an aggregate $14,836,625 and thereby terminating all existing credit facilities with Platinum Bank and discharging the debt on the Company’s balance sheet.  See Note 3. In addition, the Company redeemed the outstanding convertible debenture issued to Alpha Capital Anstalt ("Alpha") for 110% of the outstanding balance, plus accrued and unpaid interest, $4,484,230 in aggregate, thereby satisfying all obligations under the debenture and discharging the debt on the balance sheet. See Note 8.

 

On May 2, 2024, the Company entered into an At-The-Market ("ATM") Sales Agreement (the "ATM Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the "Agent”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through the Agent, as sales agent and/or principal, shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $1,676,366, subject to certain limitations on the amount of Common Stock that may be offered and sold by the Company set forth in the ATM Sales Agreement (the "Offering”). The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Common Stock under the ATM Sales Agreement and any determination by the Company to do so will be dependent, among other things, on market conditions and the Company’s working capital needs. As of December 31, 2024, SharpLink had raised gross proceeds of $896,215(net proceeds of $869,329, less professional fees) from the sale of 1,128,380 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement. See Note 9.

 

On February 4, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement that amended and supplemented the ATM Sales Agreement (see Note 9) and the information in the  prospectus supplement, dated May 2, 2024, relating to the offer and sale of up to $1,676,366 of our shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The Company has sold 2,843,902 shares of Common Stock in accordance with the ATM Sales Agreement under the initial and supplemental prospectuses with total proceeds to the Company of $1,834,925.

 

We may need to raise additional capital to fund the Company’s growth and future business operations. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we are not able to secure additional funding when needed to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges, track and comply with applicable laws and regulations, develop new technology and services or enhance our existing offering, improve our operating infrastructure, enhance our information security systems to combat changing cyber threats and expand personnel to support our business, we may have to delay or reduce the scope of planned strategic growth initiatives. Moreover, any additional equity financing that we obtain may dilute the ownership held by our existing shareholders. The economic dilution to our shareholders will be significant if our stock price does not materially increase, or if the effective price of any sale is below the price paid by a particular shareholder. Any debt financing could involve substantial restrictions on activities and creditors could seek additional pledges of some or all of our assets. If we fail to obtain additional funding as needed, we may be forced to cease or scale back operations, and our results, financial conditions and stock price would be adversely affected. As such, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.
