CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) of Motorsport Games Inc. (the “Company,” “Motorsport Games,” “we,” “us” or “our”) contains certain statements, which are not historical facts and are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, strategies, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We use words, such as “could,” “would,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “likely,” “believe,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project” and other similar expressions to identify some forward-looking statements, but not all forward-looking statements include these words. For example, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make relating to:

 

  our liquidity and capital requirements, including, without limitation, as to our ability to continue as a going concern; our belief that we will not have sufficient cash on hand to fund our operations over the next year based on the cash and cash equivalents available and our average cash burn; our belief that additional funding will be required in order to continue operations; our expectation that we will continue to have a net cash outflow from operations for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop our product portfolio and invest in developing new video game titles; our expectation that we will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future as we continue to incur significant expenses; our plans to address our liquidity short fall, including our exploration of several options, including, but not limited to: additional funding in the form of potential equity and/or debt financing arrangements or similar transactions, strategic alternatives for our business, including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of our assets, and further cost reduction and restructuring initiatives; our expectation that if any strategic alternative is executed, this would help to reduce certain working capital requirements and reduce overhead expenditures, thereby reducing our expected future cash-burn, and provide some short-term liquidity relief, but that we will continue to require additional funding and/or further cost reduction measures in order to continue operations, which includes further restructuring of our business and operations; our plan to continue to seek to reduce our monthly net cash-burn by reducing our cost base through maintaining and enhancing cost control initiatives, and plans to continue to evaluate the structure of our business for additional changes in order to improve both our near-term and long-term liquidity position; statements regarding potential alternatives we may be required to adopt if we are unable to satisfy our capital requirements, and our belief that if we are ultimately unable to satisfy our capital requirements, we would likely need to dissolve and liquidate our assets under the bankruptcy laws or otherwise; our belief that there is a substantial likelihood that Driven Lifestyle Group LLC (“Driven Lifestyle”), formerly known as Motorsport Network, LLC, will not fulfill our future borrowing requests under the $12 million Line of Credit (as defined in this Report); and statements regarding our cash flows and anticipated uses of cash;
     
  the sale of our NASCAR License (as defined in this Report), including our belief that our existing business model will need to be modified, our risk profile relating to our operations will be significantly altered, we may encounter difficulties or challenges in continuing operations due to the sale of the license, and that our cash flows and results of operations will likely be materially adversely impacted as we anticipate the amount of revenue to be generated by our existing NASCAR products to decline over time;
     
  our intended corporate purpose to make the thrill of motorsports accessible to everyone by creating the highest quality, most sophisticated and most innovative experiences for racers, gamers and fans of all ages;
     
  new or planned products or offerings, including the anticipated timing of any new product or offering launches, such as our current plans to organize the 2024/25 Le Mans Virtual Series to commence later this year, as well as the possibility of further adjustments to our product roadmap due to the continuing impact of our liquidity position;

 

ii
 

 

  our plans to strive to become a leader in organizing and facilitating esports tournaments, competitions, and events for our licensed racing games as well as on behalf of third-party racing game developers and publishers;
     
  our intention to continue exploring opportunities to expand the recurring portion of our esports segment outside of the Le Mans Virtual Series;
     
  our belief that connecting virtual racing gamers and esports fans on a digital entertainment and social platform represents the greatest opportunity to enhance the way that people learn, watch, play, and experience racing video games and racing esports;
     
  our beliefs regarding the growing importance and business viability of esports, especially within the racing and motorsport genres;
     
  our belief that our esports business has the potential to generate incremental revenues through the further sale of media rights to our esports events and competitions, as well as, among other things, merchandising, if the esports audience pattern continues to grow;
     
  our plans to drive ongoing engagement and incremental revenue from recurrent consumer spending on our titles through in-game purchases and extra content;
     
  our expectation that we will continue to derive significant revenues from sales of our products to a very limited number of distribution partners;
     
  our intention to continue to look for opportunities to expand the recurring portion of our business, including through the planned introduction of new annualized sports franchise games, such as with Le Mans;
     
  our intended use of proceeds from the sales of our equity securities;
     
  our statements and assumptions relating to the impairment of assets;
     
  our plans and intentions with respect to our remediation efforts to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting;
     
  our belief that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, except as otherwise disclosed in this Report, and that in light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to our operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of our income for that particular period; our beliefs regarding the merit of any plaintiff’s allegations and the impact of any claims and litigation that we are subject to; and our plans and intentions with respect to defending our position in any legal proceeding;
     
  our intention to not declare dividends in the foreseeable future;
     
  our ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards;
     
  our expectations regarding the future impact of implementing management strategies, adopting new accounting standards, potential acquisitions and industry trends;
     
  our plans and intentions to maintain compliance with the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”), including our plan to implement equity financing transactions;

 

iii
 

 

  our belief that we may decide in the future to avail ourselves of certain corporate governance requirements of NASDAQ as a result of being a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NASDAQ rules;
     
  our expectations relating to any cost reduction and restructuring initiatives, including expected savings and any restructuring charges to be incurred; and
     
  our expectations that our current development operations will not have significant exposure to changes in circumstances arising from the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our industry experience and our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors that we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this Report, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control) and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual operating and financial performance and cause our performance to differ materially from the performance anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements are discussed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) and in “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Report, as updated in our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition to factors that may be described in our filings with the SEC, including this Report, the following factors, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us:

 

  (i) difficulties and/or delays in accessing available liquidity, and other unanticipated difficulties in resolving our continuing financial condition and ability to obtain additional capital to meet our financial obligations, including, without limitation, difficulties in securing funding that is on commercially acceptable terms to us or at all, such as our inability to complete in whole or in part any potential debt and/or equity financing transactions or similar transactions, any inability to achieve cost reductions, including, without limitation, those which we expect to achieve through any cost reduction and restructuring initiatives, as well as any inability to consummate additional strategic alternatives for our business, including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of our assets, and/or less than expected benefits resulting from any such strategic alternative; difficulties, delays or our inability to efficiently manage our cash and working capital; higher than expected operating expenses; adverse impacts to our liquidity position resulting from the higher interest rate and higher inflationary environment; the unavailability of funds from anticipated borrowing sources; the unavailability of funds from our inability to reduce or control costs, including, without limitation, those which we expect to achieve through any cost reduction and restructuring initiatives; lower than expected operating revenues, cash on hand and/or funds available from anticipated borrowings or funds expected to be generated from cost reductions resulting from the implementation of cost control initiatives, such as through any cost reduction and restructuring initiatives; and/or less than anticipated cash generated by our operations; and/or adverse effects on our liquidity resulting from changes in economic conditions (such as continued volatility in the financial markets, whether attributable to COVID-19, the ongoing wars between Russia and Ukraine and between Israel and Hamas or otherwise; significantly higher rates of inflation, significantly higher interest rates and higher labor costs; the impact of higher energy prices on consumer purchasing behavior, monetary conditions and foreign currency fluctuations, tariffs, foreign currency controls and/or government-mandated pricing controls, as well as in trade, monetary, fiscal and tax policies), political conditions (such as military actions and terrorist activities) and pandemics and natural disasters; and/or the unavailability of funds from (A) delaying the implementation of or revising certain aspects of our business strategy; (B) reducing or delaying the development and launch of new products and events; (C) reducing or delaying capital spending, product development spending and marketing and promotional spending; (D) selling assets or operations; (E) seeking additional capital contributions and/or loans from Driven Lifestyle, our other affiliates and/or third parties; and/or (F) reducing other discretionary spending;

 

iv
 

 

  (ii) difficulties, delays or less than expected results in achieving our growth plans, objectives and expectations, such as due to a slower than anticipated economic recovery and/or our inability, in whole or in part, to continue to execute our business strategies and plans, such as due to less than anticipated customer acceptance of our new game titles, our experiencing difficulties or the inability to launch our games as planned, less than anticipated performance of the games impacting customer acceptance and sales and/or greater than anticipated costs and expenses to develop and launch our games, including, without limitation, higher than expected labor costs;

 

  (iii) difficulties, delays in or unanticipated events that may impact the timing and scope of new product launches, such as due to difficulties and/or delays related to our transition from using development staff in Russia to using development staff in other countries and/or difficulties and/or delays arising out of any resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic or any other pandemic;
     
  (iv) less than expected benefits from implementing our management strategies and/or adverse economic, market and geopolitical conditions that negatively impact industry trends, such as significant changes in the labor markets, an extended or higher than expected inflationary environment (such as the impact on consumer discretionary spending as a result of significant increases in energy and gas prices which have been increasing since early in 2020), a higher interest rate environment, tax increases impacting consumer discretionary spending and or quantitative easing that results in higher interest rates that negatively impact consumers’ discretionary spending, or adverse developments relating to the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine;
     
  (v) difficulties and/or delays adversely impacting our ability (or inability) to maintain existing, and to secure additional, licenses and other agreements with various racing series;
     
  (vi) difficulties and/or delays adversely impacting our ability to successfully manage and integrate any joint ventures, acquisitions of businesses, solutions or technologies;
     
  (vii) unanticipated operating costs, transaction costs and actual or contingent liabilities;
     
  (viii) difficulties and/or delays adversely impacting our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and key personnel;
     
  (ix) adverse effects of increased competition;
     
  (x) changes in consumer behavior, including as a result of general economic factors, such as increased inflation, recessionary factors, higher energy prices and higher interest rates;
     
  (xi) difficulties and/or delays adversely impacting our ability to protect our intellectual property;
     
  (xii) local, industry and general business and economic conditions;
     
  (xiii) unanticipated adverse effects on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or liquidity as a result of unexpected developments with respect to our legal proceedings;
     
  (xiv) difficulties, delays or our inability to successfully complete any cost reduction and restructuring initiatives, which could reduce the benefits realized from such activities;
     
  (xv) higher than anticipated restructuring charges and/or payments and/or changes in the expected timing of such charges and/or payments as a result of, among other things, legal requirements in applicable foreign jurisdictions; and/or less than anticipated annualized cost reductions from our plans and/or changes in the timing of realizing such cost reductions, such as due to less than anticipated liquidity to fund such activities and/or more than expected costs to achieve the expected cost reductions;
     
  (xvi) difficulties, delays, less than expected results or our inability to successfully implement any strategic alternative or potential option for our business, including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of certain of our assets, which could result in, among other things, less than expected financial benefits from such actions; and
     
  (xvii) difficulties and/or delays or unanticipated developments adversely impacting our ability to maintain compliance with the NASDAQ’s listing requirements, such as our inability to implement equity financing transactions.
     
  (xviii) unanticipated adverse effects arising from our inability to fully repay Luminis International B.V. and Technology In Business B.V., the sellers of Studio 397 B.V. (“Studio397”), relating to our acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Studio397 in April 2021.

 

Additionally, there are other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in the reports that we file with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of these assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual operating and financial performance may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement contained in this Report to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances, except as otherwise required by law. New factors that could cause our business not to develop as we expect emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each currently known or new factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, AND RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

Organization and Operations

 

Motorsport Gaming US LLC (“Motorsport Gaming”) was established as a limited liability company on August 2, 2018 under the laws of the State of Florida. On January 8, 2021, Motorsport Gaming converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to a statutory conversion and changed its name to Motorsport Games Inc. (“Motorsport Games” or the “Company”). Upon effecting the corporate conversion on January 8, 2021, Motorsport Games now holds all the property and assets of Motorsport Gaming, and all of the debts and obligations of Motorsport Gaming were assumed by Motorsport Games by operation of law upon such corporate conversion.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The Company had net income of $0.4 million and negative cash flows from operations of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $86.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $0.5 million, which increased to $1.3 million as of July 31, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to $0.9 million in net proceeds received from a registered direct offering transaction that closed on July 29, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company settled its outstanding licensing liabilities with INDYCAR LLC and BARC (TOCA) LIMITED for $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company experienced an average net cash burn from operations of approximately $0.2 million per month, and while it has taken, and continues to take measures to reduce its costs, the Company expects to continue to have a net cash outflow from operations for the foreseeable future as it continues to develop its product portfolio and invest in developing new video game titles.

 

The Company’s future liquidity and capital requirements include funds to support the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital, support the development and introduction of new products, maintain existing titles, and certain capital expenditures.

 

In order to address its liquidity shortfall, the Company continues to explore several options, including, but not limited to: i) additional funding in the form of potential equity and/or debt financing arrangements or similar transactions (collectively, “Capital Financing”); ii) other strategic alternatives for its business, including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of the Company’s assets in addition to the recent sales of its NASCAR License (as defined below) and Traxion (as defined below); and iii) cost reduction and restructuring initiatives, each of which is described more fully below.

 

On July 29, 2024, the Company closed on a registered direct offering transaction with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acting as the exclusive placement agent, which raised $1 million in gross proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The Company continues to explore additional funding in the form of potential Capital Financing and on March 31, 2023 entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “ED Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity LLC, as sales agent (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock having an aggregate gross offering price of up to $10 million (subject to compliance with the limitations set forth in the SEC’s “baby shelf” rules). Subject to the terms and conditions of the ED Agreement, the Sales Agent may sell shares by any method deemed to be an “at-the-market” (“ATM”) offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. At the time the Company filed an initial prospectus supplement in connection with the offering of its shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the ED Agreement, the aggregate market value of the shares of Class A common stock eligible for sale under the initial prospectus supplement was approximately $2.9 million, which was based on the limitations of such offerings under SEC Regulations. No sales were made pursuant to the ED Agreement during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. On July 26, 2024, the Company filed a prospectus supplement terminating the continuous offering, although the ED Agreement remains in effect. However, due to the Company’s present liquidity position and required future funding requirements, even if the Company filed another prospectus supplement to reinstate the continuous offering pursuant to the ED Agreement and raised the maximum amount available for future sales via its ATM program, such proceeds would not be sufficient to satisfy its ongoing liquidity requirements and further potential Capital Financing would be required, in conjunction to the other options being explored by the Company. Further, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain funds via its ATM program, should it choose to sell shares under the ED Agreement, nor can there be any other assurance that the Company can secure additional funding in the form of equity and/or debt financing on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, to satisfy its future needed liquidity and capital resources.

Motorsport Games Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Due to the continuing uncertainty surrounding the Company’s ability to raise funding in the form of potential Capital Financing, and in light of its liquidity position and anticipated future funding requirements, the Company continues to explore other strategic alternatives and potential options for its business, including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of certain of the Company’s assets in addition to the recent sales of its NASCAR License and Traxion.

 

If any such additional strategic alternative is executed, it is expected it would help to improve the Company’s working capital position and reduce overhead expenditures, thereby lowering the Company’s expected future cash-burn, and providing some short-term liquidity relief. Nonetheless, even if the Company is successful in implementing one or more additional strategic alternatives, the Company will continue to require additional funding and/or further cost reduction measures in order to continue operations, which includes further restructuring of its business and operations. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in implementing any additional strategic plans for the sale or licensing of its assets, or any other strategic alternative, which may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions beyond the Company’s control.

 

As the Company continues to address its liquidity constraints, the Company may need to make further adjustments to its product roadmap in order to reduce operating cash burn. Additionally, the Company continues to seek to improve its liquidity through maintaining and enhancing cost control initiatives. The Company plans to continue evaluating the structure of its business for additional changes in order to improve both its near-term and long-term liquidity position, as well as create a healthy and sustainable company from which to operate.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to take any of the financing actions referred to above because of a variety of commercial or market factors, including, without limitation, market conditions being unfavorable for an equity or debt issuance or similar transactions, loans not being available from third parties, or that the transactions may not be permitted under the terms of the Company’s various debt instruments then in effect, such as due to restrictions on the incurrence of debt, incurrence of liens, asset dispositions and related party transactions. In addition, such actions, if taken, may not enable the Company to satisfy its capital requirements if the actions that the Company is able to consummate do not generate a sufficient amount of additional capital.

 

Even if the Company does secure additional Capital Financing, if the anticipated level of revenues are not achieved because of, for example, decreased sales of the Company’s products due to the disposition of key assets, such as the sale of its NASCAR License and/or the Company’s inability to deliver new products for its various other licenses; less than anticipated consumer acceptance of the Company’s offering of products and events; less than effective marketing and promotion campaigns, decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the overall electronic games category; adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates; decreased sales of the Company’s products and events as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company’s competitors; changes in consumer purchasing habits, such as the impact of higher energy prices on consumer purchasing behavior; retailer inventory management or reductions in retailer display space; less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for marketing, advertising and promotions, product returns or price protection expenditures, exceed the anticipated level of expenses, the Company’s liquidity position may continue to be insufficient to satisfy its future capital requirements. If the Company is ultimately unable to satisfy its capital requirements, it would likely need to dissolve and liquidate its assets under the bankruptcy laws or otherwise.

If the Company is unable to satisfy its capital requirements, it could be required to adopt one or more of the following alternatives:

 

  delaying the implementation of or revising certain aspects of the Company’s business strategy;
  further reducing or delaying the development and launch of new products and events;
  further reducing or delaying capital spending, product development spending and marketing and promotional spending;
  selling additional assets or operations;
  seeking additional loans from third parties;
  further reducing other discretionary spending;
  entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms; and/or
 

significantly curtailing or discontinuing operations.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Going Concern, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The factors described above, in particular the lack of available cash on hand to fund operations over the next year, have raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

 

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the years then ended which are included in the 2023 Form 10-K.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

 

The Company’s significant estimates used in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition criteria, including allowances for returns and price protection, offering periods for deferred net revenue, valuation allowance of deferred income taxes, the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities, and stock-based compensation valuation. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and may cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the presentation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on prior periods’ net income (loss).

 

Non-controlling Interests

 

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of net assets in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. The net assets of the shared entities are attributed to the controlling and non-controlling interests based on the terms of the governing contractual arrangements. For the joint venture with Automobile Club de l’Ouest discussed in Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies, the Company further determined the hypothetical liquidation at book value method (“HLBV Method”) to be the appropriate method for attributing net assets to the controlling and noncontrolling interests as this method most closely mirrors the economics of the governing contractual arrangement. Under the HLBV Method, the Company allocates recorded income (loss) to each investor based on the change, during the reporting period, of the amount of net assets each investor is entitled to under the governing contractual arrangements in a liquidation scenario.

Correction of an Immaterial Error in Previously Issued Financial Statements

 

The Company has revised the presentation of net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest in the joint venture with Automobile Club de l’Ouest discussed in Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies, to correct an immaterial error in the presentation of related the non-controlling interest. This correction increased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to non-controlling interests, decreased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to Motorsport Games, Inc. by $350,059 and decreased net loss per Class A common share attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $0.13 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. It decreased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to non-controlling interests, increased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to Motorsport Games, Inc. by $216,019 and increased net loss per Class A common share attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $0.08 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This correction decreased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to non-controlling interests, increased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to Motorsport Games, Inc. by $41,065 and increased net loss per Class A common share attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $0.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This correction also decreased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to non-controlling interests, increased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to Motorsport Games, Inc. by $257,084 and increased net loss per Class A common share attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $0.11 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Furthermore, this correction decreased stockholders’ deficit attributable to non-controlling interests and decreased stockholders’ equity attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $411,535 as of December 31, 2023.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time as the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election.

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The new guidance improves reportable segment disclosures primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and by requiring current annual disclosures to be provided in interim periods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented unless impracticable to do so. As the guidance requires only additional disclosure, there will be no effects of this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The new guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. As the guidance requires only additional disclosure, there will be no effects of this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, as included in the 2023 Form 10-K, except as disclosed in this note.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives revenue principally from sales of its games, and related extra content and services that can be experienced on game consoles, PCs and mobile phones. The Company’s product and service offerings include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  full games with both online and offline functionality (“Games with Services”), which generally includes (1) the initial game delivered digitally or via physical disc at the time of sale and typically provide access to offline core game content (“software license”); (2) updates on a when-and-if-available basis, such as software patches or updates, and/or additional free content to be delivered in the future (“future update rights”); and (3) a hosted connection for online playability (“online hosting”);
  extra content related to Games with Services which provides access to additional in-game content;

 

The Company evaluates and recognizes revenue by:

 

  identifying the contract(s) with the customer;
  identifying the performance obligations in the contract;
  determining the transaction price;
  allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
  recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., “transfer of control”).

 

Online-Enabled Games

 

Games with Services. The Company’s sales of Games with Services are evaluated to determine whether the software license, future update rights and the online hosting are distinct and separable. Sales of Games with Services are generally determined to have three distinct performance obligations: software license, future update rights, and the online hosting.

 

9

 

 

Motorsport Games Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Since the Company does not sell the performance obligations on a stand-alone basis, the Company considers market conditions and other observable inputs to estimate the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation. For Games with Services, generally 75 percent of the sales price is allocated to the software license performance obligation and recognized at a point in time when control of the license has been transferred to the customer. The remaining 25 percent is allocated to the future update rights and the online hosting performance obligations and recognized ratably as the service is provided (over the Estimated Offering Period).

 

Extra Content. Revenue received from sales of downloadable content are derived primarily from the sale of digital in-game content that are designed to extend and enhance players’ game experience. Sales of extra content are accounted for in a manner consistent with the treatment for the Company’s Games with Services as discussed above, depending upon whether or not the extra content has offline functionality. That is, if the extra content has offline functionality, then the extra content is accounted for similarly to Games with Services (generally determined to have three distinct performance obligations: software license, future update rights, and the online hosting). If the extra content does not have offline functionality, then the extra content is determined to have one distinct performance obligation: the online-hosted service.

 

Significant Judgments around Revenue Arrangements

 

Identifying performance obligations. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, (i.e., the customer can benefit from the goods or services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available), and are distinct in the context of the contract (i.e., it is separately identifiable from other goods or services in the contract). To the extent a contract includes multiple promises, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether those promises are separate and distinct performance obligations. If these criteria are not met, the promises are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

 

Determining the transaction price. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration that the Company will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring its goods and services to the customer. Determining the transaction price often requires judgment, based on an assessment of contractual terms and business practices. It further includes review of variable consideration such as discounts, sales returns, price protection, and rebates, which is estimated at the time of the transaction. In addition, the transaction price does not include an estimate of the variable consideration related to sales-based royalties. Sales-based royalties are recognized as the sales occur.

 

Allocating the transaction price. Allocating the transaction price requires that the Company determine an estimate of the relative stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. Determining the relative stand-alone selling price is inherently subjective, especially in situations where the Company does not sell the performance obligation on a stand-alone basis (which occurs in the majority of transactions). In those situations, the Company determines the relative stand-alone selling price based on various observable inputs using all information that is reasonably available. Examples of observable inputs and information include historical internal pricing data and pricing data from competitors, to the extent the data is available. The results of the Company’s analysis resulted in a specific percentage of the transaction price being allocated to each performance obligation.

 

Determining the Estimated Offering Period. The offering period is the period in which the Company offers to provide the future update rights and/or online hosting for the game and related extra content sold. Because the offering period is not an explicitly defined period, the Company must make an estimate of the offering period for the service-related performance obligations (i.e., future update rights and online hosting). Determining the Estimated Offering Period is inherently subjective and is subject to regular revision. Generally, the Company considers the average period of time customers are online when estimating the offering period. The Company recognizes revenue for future update rights and online hosting performance obligations ratably on a straight-line basis over this period as there is a consistent pattern of delivery for these performance obligations. Revenue for service-related performance obligations for digitally-distributed games and extra content is recognized over an estimated seven-month period beginning in the month of sale.

Deferred Revenue

 

The Company’s deferred revenue, or contract liability, is classified as current and is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (Also refer Note 4 – Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities). Revenue collected in advance of the event is recorded as deferred revenue until the event occurs. Development and coding revenues are also recorded as deferred revenue until the Company’s performance obligation is performed. Furthermore, deferred revenue includes payment advances from the Company’s channel partners and sales transactions including future update rights and online hosting performance obligations, which are subject to deferral and recognized over the Estimated Offering Period.

 

Revenue recognized in the period from amounts included in contract liability at the beginning of the period was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Dilutive common-equivalent shares consist of shares of options and warrants, if not anti-dilutive.

 

The following shares were excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Licensing Agreements

 

In March 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to facilitate the Le Mans Esports Series as part of a joint venture with Automobile Club de l’Ouest (“ACO”), the organizer of the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. Through the Company’s ownership interest in this joint venture, which was increased to 51% from 45% in January 2021, the Company secured the rights to be the exclusive video game developer and publisher for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race and the FIA World Endurance Championship (the “WEC”), which the 24 Hours of Le Mans race is a part of, for a ten-year period. In addition, through this joint venture with ACO, the Company has the right to create and organize esports leagues and events for the Le Mans Esports Series. The Company acquired a video gaming license (the “Le Mans Gaming License”) and an esports license related to its ownership interest in this joint venture with the ACO.

 

In 2021, the Company also acquired intangible assets comprising the KartKraft computer video game as well as software, tradename and non-compete agreements related to its acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Studio397 B.V.

NOTE 3 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

In October 2023, the Company sold its NASCAR licensed rights under that certain Second Amended and Restated Distribution and License Agreement with NASCAR Team Properties (the “NASCAR License”) to iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations, LLC (“iRacing”). As consideration for such sale and assignment of the NASCAR License and all rights related thereto (the “Assignment”), iRacing paid the Company $5.0 million at closing of the transactions contemplated by the Assignment. In addition, iRacing is obligated under the Assignment to pay the Company an additional (i) $0.5 million payable on the date that is 6 months following such closing, which was paid by iRacing in April 2024 and (ii) $0.5 million on the earlier of such date when all NASCAR games have been removed by the Company from the websites, smart phone applications or other digital portal engaging in sales or providing access to the NASCAR games, including without limitation Xbox, PlayStation and Switch and all other domain names, web addresses and websites used by the Company in the its business (collectively, the “Business Platforms”), or December 31, 2024, provided that all NASCAR games have been removed by the Company from the Business Platforms, and in any event, no earlier than such date that is one year following the closing of the Assignment.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY LOANS

 

The Company has a $12 million line of credit with an affiliated entity, Driven Lifestyle (the “$12 million Line of Credit”), which bears interest at an annual rate of 10%, the availability of which is dependent on Driven Lifestyle’s available liquidity. The $12 million Line of Credit does not have a stated maturity date and is payable upon demand at any time at the sole and absolute discretion of Driven Lifestyle, and any principal and accrued interest owed will be accelerated and become immediately payable in the event the Company consummates certain corporate events, such as a capital reorganization. The Company may repay the $12 million Line of Credit in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without penalty or charge.

 

On September 8, 2022, the Company entered into a support agreement with Driven Lifestyle (the “Support Agreement”) pursuant to which Driven Lifestyle issued approximately $3 million (the “September 2022 Cash Advance”) to the Company in accordance with the $12 million Line of Credit. Additionally, the Support Agreement modified the $12 million Line of Credit such that, among other things, until June 30, 2024, Driven Lifestyle would not demand repayment of the September 2022 Cash Advance or other advances under the $12 million Line of Credit, unless certain events occurred, as prescribed in the Support Agreement, such as the completion of a new financing arrangement or the Company generates positive cash flows from operations, among others. All principal and accrued interest owed on the $12 million Line of Credit were exchanged for equity following the completion of two debt-for-equity exchange agreements with Driven Lifestyle on January 30, 2023 and February 1, 2023, relieving the Company of approximately $3.9 million in owed principal and unpaid interest in exchange for an aggregate of 780,385 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

Motorsport Games Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

As of June 30, 2024, the $12 million Line of Credit remains in place. However, the Company believes that there is a substantial likelihood that Driven Lifestyle will not fulfill any future borrowing requests, and therefore does not view the $12 million Line of Credit as a viable source for future liquidity needs.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no balance due to Driven Lifestyle under the $12 million Line of Credit.

 

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In addition to the $12 million Line of Credit, the Company had other related party receivables and payables outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Specifically, the Company owed approximately $0.1 million to its related parties as a related party payable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, approximately $1.0 million was paid to related parties in settlement of related party payables. The Company’s corporate headquarters, located in Miami, Florida and consisting of approximately 2,000 square feet of office space, are owned by Driven Lifestyle and are used rent-free by the Company.

 

On May 3, 2024 (but effective as of October 1, 2023), the Company entered into a new lease agreement with Lemon City Group, LLC, an entity controlled by Driven Lifestyle, for approximately 800 square feet of storage space located in Miami, Florida. The term of the lease is nine months, with a commencement date of October 1, 2023, consistent with the Company’s initial date of occupancy, and expiring on June 30, 2024, terminable with a 60-day written notice with no penalty. The base rent from the lease commencement date through June 30, 2024 is fixed at approximately $1,800 per month. The Company extended the lease for two additional months through August 31, 2024.

 

Backoffice Services Agreement

 

On March 23, 2023 (but effective as of January 1, 2023), the Company entered into a new Backoffice Services Agreement with Driven Lifestyle (the “Backoffice Services Agreement”) following the expiration of the Company’s prior services agreement with Driven Lifestyle. Pursuant to the Backoffice Services Agreement, Driven Lifestyle will provide accounting, payroll and benefits, human resources and other back-office services on a full-time basis to support the Company’s business functions. The term of the Backoffice Services Agreement is 12 months from the effective date. The term will automatically renew for successive 12-month terms unless either party provides written notice of nonrenewal at least 30 days prior to the end of the then current term. The Backoffice Services Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time with 60 days prior notice. Pursuant to the Backoffice Services Agreement, the Company is required to pay a monthly fee to Driven Lifestyle of $17,500. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred $105,000 in fees in connection with the Backoffice Services Agreement, and $52,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which is presented in general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

On August 8, 2024 (but effective as of July 1, 2024), the Company amended its Backoffice Services Agreement with Driven Lifestyle (the “Amended Backoffice Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended Backoffice Services Agreement, Driven Lifestyle will provide office space, accounting, payroll and benefits, human resources and other back-office services on a full-time basis to support the Company’s business functions. The term of the Amended Backoffice Services Agreement is 12 months from the effective date. The term will automatically renew for successive 12-month terms unless either party provides written notice of nonrenewal at least 30 days prior to the end of the then current term. The Amended Backoffice Services Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time with 60 days prior notice. Pursuant to the Amended Backoffice Services Agreement, the Company is required to pay a monthly fee to Driven Lifestyle of $12,500.

Registered Direct Offerings and the Wainwright Warrants

 

On February 1, February 2 and February 3, 2023, the Company completed three separate registered direct offerings (the “Offerings”) priced at-market under NASDAQ rules with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acting as the exclusive placement agent for each transaction (the “Agent”). In connection with the Offerings, the Company paid the Agent a transaction fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each offering, non-accountable expenses and certain other closing fees. In addition, the Company granted warrants to the Agent (or its designees) to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock placed in each Offering (collectively, the “Wainwright Warrants”). The Offerings are summarized as follows:

 

    Offering Date   Shares Issued     Gross
Proceeds
  Net
Proceeds
  Warrants
Issued
    Warrant Strike Price     Warrant
Term
Registered direct offering 1   February 1, 2023     183,020     $ 3.9 million   $ 3.6 million     10,981     $ 26.75     5 years
Registered direct offering 2   February 2, 2023     144,366     $ 3.4 million   $ 3.1 million     8,662     $ 29.375     5 years
Registered direct offering 3   February 3, 2023     232,188     $ 4.0 million   $ 3.7 million     13,931     $ 21.738     5 years

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Wainwright Warrants were assessed to have a fair value of approximately $0.02 million and deemed to be liability-classified awards, which were recorded within other non-current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company utilized a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair value of the Wainwright Warrants. The Black-Scholes model requires management to make a number of key assumptions, including expected volatility, expected term, and risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is estimated using the rate of return on U.S. treasury notes with a life that approximates the expected term.

The Company issued stock options under its MSGM 2021 Stock Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The majority of the options issued under the MSGM 2021 Stock Plan have time-based vesting schedules, typically vesting ratably over a three-year period. Certain stock option awards differed from this vesting schedule, as well as those made to the Company’s current and former directors that vest on the one-year anniversary of award issuance. All stock options issued under the MSGM 2021 Stock Plan expire 10 years from the grant date.

 

On January 26, 2024, the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company approved and authorized the grant of an option award to purchase 46,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock to Stephen Hood, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, pursuant to the MSGM 2021 Stock Plan. 11,500 shares underlying the option award vested immediately upon grant and the remaining 34,500 shares underlying the option award will vest in three equal quarterly installments beginning on April 26, 2024.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, except as otherwise disclosed below. In light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular period. Litigation or other legal proceedings, with or without merit, is unpredictable and generally expensive and time consuming and, even if resolved in the Company’s favor, is likely to divert significant resources from the Company’s core business, including distracting its management personnel from their normal responsibilities.

Motorsport Games Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. The Company recognizes legal costs associated with loss contingencies in the period incurred.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

On February 11, 2021, HC2 Holdings 2 Inc. (now known as Innovate 2) (“Innovate”) and Continental General Insurance Company (“Continental”), former minority stockholders of 704Games, filed a complaint (the “HC2 and Continental Complaint”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against the Company, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, and the manager of Driven Lifestyle. The complaint was later amended and added Leo Capital Holdings LLC (“Leo Capital”) as an additional plaintiff and the controller of Driven Lifestyle as an additional individual defendant. The complaint alleges, among other things, purported misrepresentations and omissions concerning 704Games’ financial condition made in connection with the Company’s purchase of these minority shareholders’ interest in 704Games in August and October 2020. The complaint asserts claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act; Section 20A of the Exchange Act; breach of the Company’s obligations under the Stockholders’ Agreement dated August 14, 2018; fraudulent inducement; breach of fiduciary duties; and unjust enrichment. The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, damages from the defendants, jointly and severally, based on the alleged difference between the fair market value of the shares of common stock of 704Games on the date of plaintiffs’ sale and the purchase price that was paid, as well as punitive damages and other relief. In May 2021, the Company, along with the other defendants, filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ complaint. On March 28, 2022, the court entered an order denying the motion to dismiss.

 

On January 11, 2023, in connection with the HC2 and Continental Complaint, the Company, along with other defendants, entered into a settlement agreement with one of the plaintiffs, Continental, to settle the claims made by Continental against the defendants and the claims made by the defendants against Continental. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay the sum of $1.1 million to Continental. The Company paid an initial payment of approximately $0.1 million on January 17, 2023, and was obligated to make payments of no less than approximately $40,000 every 30 days after the initial payment date until the settlement amount of $1.1 million was paid in full. As of June 30, 2024, all required payments under the settlement agreement with Continental have been made.

 

On October 14, 2023, the Company, along with other defendants, reached and executed a settlement agreement with Leo Capital in connection with the HC2 and Continental Complaint, which settles the claims made by Leo Capital against the defendants, as well as the claims made by the defendants against Leo Capital. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay the sum of $0.2 million to Leo Capital. The Company paid the full $0.2 million settlement on October 16, 2023, as required by terms of the settlement agreement.

In respect of Innovate, the Company believes that the plaintiff’s allegations are without merit and the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend its position to the fullest extent permitted by law. Given the litigation is ongoing, the outcome of the litigation remains uncertain at this time. As such, the Company does not believe it is probable a settlement will be reached, nor can any such settlement amount be reasonably estimable, and has not recognized a settlement liability in respect of the remaining plaintiff.

 

On July 28, 2023, Wesco Insurance Company (“Wesco”) filed a complaint in state court in Florida against the Company, as well as the other defendants involved in the litigation related to the HC2 and Continental Complaint (the “Underlying Action”). The Company had previously submitted the Underlying Action for coverage under a management liability policy issued by Hallmark Specialty Insurance Company (“Hallmark”) and an excess policy with Wesco (the “Wesco Policy”). Wesco’s complaint seeks declaratory relief to determine Wesco’s obligations to the defendants under an excess policy of insurance issued to the Company by Wesco for the Underlying Action. Wesco claims that there is no coverage afforded to the defendants for the Underlying Action under the Wesco Policy. The Company disagrees with and disputes Wesco’s position regarding coverage for the Underlying Action under the Wesco Policy and plans to defend its position.

 

On November 22, 2023, the Company entered into an insurance policy and claims release with Hallmark (the “Hallmark Settlement”) related to a previously submitted Underlying Action for coverage under a management liability policy issued by Hallmark. Under the terms of the Hallmark Settlement, Hallmark agreed to pay $1.75 million, which was fully paid by Hallmark within 30 days of execution of the Hallmark Settlement.

 

Commitments

 

On January 25, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Le Mans Amendment”) to the Le Mans Esports Series Ltd joint venture agreement, which resulted in an increase of the Company’s ownership interest in the Le Mans Esports Series Ltd joint venture from 45% to 51%. Additionally, through certain multi-year licensing agreements that were entered into in connection with the Le Mans Amendment, the Company secured the rights to be the exclusive video game developer and publisher for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race and the WEC, as well as the rights to create and organize esports leagues and events for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, the WEC and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual event. In exchange for certain of these license rights, the Company agreed to fund up to €8,000,000 (approximately $8,600,000 USD as of June 30, 2024) as needed for development of the video game products, to be contributed on an as-needed basis during the term of the applicable license. The Company is obligated to pay ACO an annual royalty payment beginning from the time of the launch of the first video game product and continuing through each anniversary thereof for the term of the license. Further, pursuant to the Le Mans Amendment, the Company has a right to priority distribution of profits to recoup the additional funding and royalty payments made by the Company under the Le Mans Gaming License. See Note 3 – Intangible Assets for additional information.

 

Epic License Agreement

 

On August 11, 2020, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Epic Games International (“Epic”) for worldwide licensing rights to Epic’s proprietary computer program known as the Unreal Engine 4. Pursuant to the agreement, upon payment of the initial license fee described below, the Company was granted a nonexclusive, non-transferable and terminable license to develop, market and sublicense (under limited circumstances and subject to conditions of the agreement) certain products using the Unreal Engine 4 for its next generation of games.

 

The Company will pay Epic a license fee royalty payment equal to 5% of product revenue, as defined in the licensing agreement.

NOTE 11 – SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company’s principal operating segments coincide with the types of products and services to be sold. The products and services from which revenues are derived are consistent with the reporting structure of the Company’s internal organization. The Company’s two reportable segments for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were (i) the development and publishing of interactive racing video games, entertainment content and services (the “Gaming segment”); and (ii) the organization and facilitation of esports tournaments, competitions and events for the Company’s licensed racing games as well as on behalf of third-party video game racing series and other video game publishers (the “esports segment”). The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Segment information is presented based upon the Company’s management organization structure as of June 30, 2024 and the distinctive nature of each segment. Future changes to this internal financial structure may result in changes to the reportable segments disclosed. There are no inter-segment revenue transactions and, therefore, revenues are only to external customers. As the Company primarily generates its revenues from customers in the United States, no geographical segments are presented.

 

Segment operating profit is determined based upon internal performance measures used by the CODM. The Company derives the segment results from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies the Company uses to derive reportable segment results are the same as those used for external reporting purposes. Management measures the performance of each reportable segment based upon several metrics, including net revenues, gross profit and operating loss. Management uses these results to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the reportable segments. The Company manages certain operating expenses separately at the corporate level and does not allocate such expenses to the segments. Segment income from operations excludes interest income/expense and other income or expenses and income taxes according to how a particular reportable segment’s management is measured. Management does not consider impairment charges, and unallocated costs in measuring the performance of the reportable segments.

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to the Company’s disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On July 26, 2024, the Company entered into definitive agreements for the sale and issuance of 460,830 shares of Class A common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) of the Company at an offering price of $2.17 per share (or per pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof), in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under NASDAQ rules. In a concurrent private placement, the Company issued unregistered Series A warrants to purchase up to 460,830 shares of Class A common stock and unregistered Series B warrants to purchase up to 460,830 shares of Class A common stock, each will be exercisable on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the unregistered common warrants (the “Stockholder Approval”), at an exercise price of $2.17 per share. The Series A warrants will expire five and one-half years following the Stockholder Approval and the Series B warrants will expire 18 months following the Stockholder Approval. The closing of the offering occurred on July 29, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering. The gross proceeds to the Company from this offering was approximately $1.0 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

On August 8, 2024 (but effective as of July 1, 2024), the Company amended its Backoffice Services Agreement with Driven Lifestyle (the “Amended Backoffice Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended Backoffice Services Agreement, Driven Lifestyle will provide office space, accounting, payroll and benefits, human resources and other back-office services on a full-time basis to support the Company’s business functions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2024 and the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company,” “Motorsport Games,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Motorsport Games Inc., a Delaware corporation.

 

About Motorsport Games

 

Motorsport Games is a racing game developer, publisher and esports ecosystem provider of official motorsport racing series, including the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race (“Le Mans”) and the associated FIA World Endurance Championship (the “WEC”). Our portfolio also includes the KartKraft karting simulation game, as well as Studio 397 B.V. (“Studio397”) and their rFactor 2 realistic racing simulator technology and platform. Our purpose is to make the thrill of motorsports accessible to everyone by creating the highest quality, most sophisticated and innovative experiences for racers, gamers and fans of all ages. Our products and services target a large global motorsport audience.

 

We develop and publish multi-platform racing video games including for game consoles, personal computers (PCs) and mobile platforms through various retail and digital channels, including full-game and downloadable content (“DLC”). We have obtained the official licenses to develop multi-platform games for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race and the WEC. We are also striving to become a leader in organizing and facilitating esports tournaments, competitions, and events for our licensed racing games.

 

On October 3, 2023, we sold our NASCAR licensed rights under that certain Second Amended and Restated Distribution and License Agreement with NASCAR Team Properties (“NTP”) (the “NASCAR License”) to iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations, LLC. Prior to the sale of our NASCAR License, we had been the official video game developer and publisher for the NASCAR video game racing franchise and had the exclusive right to create and organize esports leagues and events for NASCAR using our NASCAR racing video games, in each case, subject to certain limited exceptions. Concurrently with the sale of our NASCAR License, we entered into an agreement with NTP pursuant to which we have a limited non-exclusive right and license to, among other things, sell our NASCAR games and DLCs that are currently in our product portfolio through December 31, 2024 (the “NASCAR New Limited License”). For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 55.0% and 77.7% of our total revenue, respectively, was generated from sales of our NASCAR racing video games.

 

24

 

 

On June 3, 2024, NASDAQ notified us that based on our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 23, 2024, NASDAQ’s staff has determined that we comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of at least $2,500,000 for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

 

Due to the uncertainty surrounding our ability to raise funding, and in light of our liquidity position and anticipated future funding requirements, we continue to explore other strategic alternatives and potential options for our business, including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of certain of our assets in addition to the recent sales of our NASCAR License and Traxion. If any such additional strategic alternative is executed, it is expected it would help to improve our working capital position and reduce overhead expenditures, thereby lowering our expected future cash-burn, and provide some short-term liquidity relief. Nonetheless, even if we are successful in implementing one or more additional strategic alternatives, we will continue to require additional funding and/or further cost reduction measures in order to continue operations, which includes further restructuring of our business and operations. There are no assurances that we will be successful in implementing any additional strategic plans for the sale or licensing of our assets, or any other strategic alternative, which may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions beyond our control.

 

Trends and Factors Affecting Our Business

 

Product Release Schedule

 

Our financial results are impacted by the timing of our product releases and the commercial success of those titles. Our recent product releases include:

 

Title   Release Date and Platform

25

 

 

We continually evaluate our planned product release schedule and modify the timing of upcoming products based on developments in our business, or if we believe it will result in a better consumer experience. The sale of our NASCAR License and the termination of our BTCC License and INDYCAR License, as disclosed elsewhere in this Report, has impacted our long-term product release schedule as we will no longer be producing NASCAR, BTCC and INDYCAR titles moving forward.

 

As we continue to evaluate the cost saving initiatives and explore other strategic alternatives and potential options for our business, including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of certain of our assets, further adjustments to our product roadmap may be required.

 

Hardware Platforms

 

We derive most of our revenue from the sale of products made for PCs and video game consoles manufactured by third parties, such as Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.’s (“Sony”) PlayStation and Microsoft Corporation’s (“Microsoft”) Xbox consoles, which comprised approximately 88.4% and 84.2% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the sale of products for Microsoft Windows via Steam comprised approximately 48.1% and 23.4% of our total revenue, respectively, and the sale of products for mobile platforms comprised approximately 1.8% and 5.2% of our total revenue, respectively. The success of our business is dependent upon consumer acceptance of video game console/PC platforms and continued growth in the installed base of these platforms. When new hardware platforms are introduced, such as those released by Sony and Microsoft in November 2020, demand for interactive entertainment used on older platforms typically declines, which may negatively affect our business during the market transition to the new consoles. The latest generation of Sony and Microsoft consoles provide “backwards compatibility” (i.e., the ability to play games for the previous generation of consoles), which could mitigate the risk of such a decline. However, we cannot be certain how backwards compatibility will affect demand for our products.

 

Digital Business

 

Players increasingly purchase our games as digital downloads, as opposed to purchasing physical discs. All of our titles that are available through retailers as packaged goods products are also available through direct digital download. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, approximately 88.4% and 84.2% of our revenue from sales of video games for game consoles and PCs was through digital channels. We believe this trend of increasing direct digital downloads is primarily due to benefits relating to convenience and accessibility that digital downloads provide. In addition, as part of our digital business strategy, we aim to drive ongoing engagement and incremental revenue from recurrent consumer spending on our titles through in-game purchases and extra content.

 

Esports

 

We are striving to become a leader in organizing and facilitating esports tournaments, competitions, and events for our licensed racing games as well as on behalf of third-party racing game developers and publishers. In 2023, we organized the grand finale of the Le Mans Virtual Series 2022/23, the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual event, which had a cumulative total of approximately 8.8 million video views with approximately 27 million minutes watched. The 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual event had a global audience of 5 million across television (TV)/over-the-top (OTT) channels. Although we did not organize the Le Mans Virtual Series for the 2023/24 season, we currently plan on organizing the 2024/25 Le Mans Virtual Series to commence later this year. We also intend to continue exploring opportunities to expand the recurring portion of our esports segment outside of Le Mans.

 

Recurring Revenue Sources

 

Our business model includes revenue that we deem recurring in nature, which historically consisted primarily of revenue from our annualized NASCAR video game racing franchise for game consoles, PC, and mobile platforms. We historically have been able to forecast the revenue from this area of our business with greater relative confidence than for new games, services, and business models. Following the sale of our NASCAR License and as we continue to incorporate new business models and modalities of play into our games, our goal is to continue to look for opportunities to expand the recurring portion of our business, including through the planned introduction of new annualized sports franchise games, such as with Le Mans.

 

Reportable Segments

 

We use “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by our chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining our reportable segments. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire company. We classified our reportable operating segments into (i) the development and publishing of interactive racing video games, entertainment content and services (the “Gaming segment”); and (ii) the organization and facilitation of esports tournaments, competitions and events for our licensed racing games as well as on behalf of third-party video game racing series and other video game publishers (the “esports segment”).

 

Components of Our Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

We have historically derived substantially all of our revenue from sales of our games and related extra content that can be played by customers on a variety of platforms, including game consoles, mobile phones, PCs and tablets. Starting in 2019, we began generating sponsorship revenues from our production of live and virtual esports events. In early 2022, we also began offering software development services for racing simulators.

 

26

 

 

Our product and service offerings included within the Gaming segment primarily include, but are not limited to, full PC, console, and mobile games with both online and offline functionality, which generally include:

 

  the initial game delivered digitally or via physical disk at the time of sale, which also typically provides access to offline core game content;
  updates to previously released games on a when-and-if-available basis, such as software patches or updates, and/or additional content to be delivered in the future, both paid and free; and
  outsourced code and content development services.

 

Our product and service offerings included within the esports segment relate primarily to curating esports events.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of revenues for our Gaming segment is primarily comprised of royalty expenses, which historically has been primarily attributable to our NASCAR License prior to its sale and certain other third parties relating to our NASCAR and Le Mans Ultimate racing series games. Cost of revenues for our Gaming segment is also comprised of merchant fees, disk manufacturing costs, packaging costs, shipping costs, warehouse costs, distribution fees to distribute products to retail stores, mobile platform fees associated with our mobile revenue (for transactions in which we are acting as the principal in the sale to the end customer) and amortization of certain acquired license agreements and other intangible assets acquired through our various acquisitions. Furthermore, cost of revenues for our Gaming segment includes costs associated with our outsourced code and content development services. Cost of revenues for our esports segment consists primarily of the cost of event staffing and event production.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing expenses are primarily composed of salaries, benefits and related taxes of our in-house marketing teams, advertising, marketing, and promotional expenses, including fees paid to social media platforms, Driven Lifestyle and other websites where we market our products.

 

Development

 

Development expenses consist of the cost to develop the games we produce, which includes salaries, benefits, and operating expenses of our in-house development teams, as well as consulting expenses for any contracted external development. Development expenses also include expenses relating to our software licenses, maintenance, and studio operating expenses.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and other costs associated with our operations including, finance, human resources, information technology, public relations, legal, audit and compliance fees, facilities, and other external general and administrative services.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses include depreciation on fixed assets (primarily computers and office equipment), as well as amortization of certain definite lived intangible assets acquired through our various acquisitions.

Gaming segment gross profit was $1.1 million for 2024, compared to $0.9 million for 2023, representing a gross profit margin of 59.0% for 2024 and 50.2% for 2023. The increase in our Gaming segment gross profit of $0.2 million, and corresponding increase in gross profit margin, was primarily due to higher gaming revenues, particularly related to increased digital game revenues as a result of the release of Le Mans Ultimate on PC in February 2024. The increase in gross profit for the Gaming segment was also attributable to lower cost of revenues due to decreased royalty payments resulting from the decrease in NASCAR game sales compared to the prior period.

 

Esports segment gross profit was negligible in 2024 and 2023. As discussed above, we did not organize LMVS events in Q2 2024 or Q2 2023.

Sales and marketing expenses were $0.2 million and $0.4 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing a $0.2 million, or 52.7%, decrease when compared to the prior period. The reduction in sales and marketing expenses was primarily driven by a $0.2 million reduction in payroll and employee-related expense as a result of lower headcount, when compared to the prior period.

 

29

Development expenses were $0.9 million and $1.8 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing a $0.9 million, or 51.4%, decrease when compared to the prior period.

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $1.4 million and $3.2 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 55.2%, when compared to the prior period. The reduction in G&A expenses was primarily driven by a $1.4 million decrease in payroll and employee-related expenses following certain headcount reductions, compared to the prior period, and a $0.1 million reductions in each of office expenses, insurance costs and legal & professional fees.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses for 2024 and 2023 presented no significant changes to the depreciation of capital assets.

 

Gain from Settlement of License Liabilities

 

Gain from settlement of license liabilities of $3.2 million for 2024 is primarily comprised of a $2.5 million gain stemming from a Settlement and License Agreement with INDYCAR LLC executed on May 17, 2024 and a gain of $0.6 million related to the Settlement Agreement with BARC (TOCA) LIMITED, the exclusive promoter of the British Touring Car Championship on April 12, 2024.

 

Other Operating Income

 

Other operating income of $0.3 million for 2024 entirely relates to the gain from the sale of Traxion, which was our motorsport and racing games community content platform, in April 2024.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was approximately $0.03 million for 2024 compared to $0.2 million in 2023, primarily from non-cash interest accretion of purchase commitment liabilities relating to the acquisition of Studio397 in April 2021.

 

Other Income, net

 

Other income, net was $0.1 million for 2024, compared to other income, net of $0.7 million in 2023, a decrease of $0.6 million compared to the prior period.

Other Comprehensive Loss

 

Other comprehensive loss was $0.1 million for 2024 compared to $0.2 million in 2023. The $0.1 million decrease was primarily due to activity in our U.K. and Netherlands subsidiaries and represents unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest

 

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest was $0.3 million in 2024 compared to net income of $0.01 million for 2023. The increase was attributed to an increase in net losses in the Le Mans Esports Series Ltd joint venture.

Consolidated gross profit was $3.5 million and $1.4 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively, an increase of $2.1 million, or 156.5%, when compared to the prior period. Gross profit margin was 70.7% in 2024, compared to 39.0% in 2023.

 

Gaming segment gross profit was $3.5 million for 2024, compared to $1.4 million for 2023, representing a gross profit margin of 70.7% for 2024 and 45.2% for 2023. The increase in our Gaming segment gross profit of $2.0 million, and corresponding increase in gross profit margin, was primarily due to higher gaming revenues, particularly related to increased digital game revenues as a result of the release of Le Mans Ultimate on PC in February 2024. The increase in gross profit for the Gaming segment was also attributable to lower cost of revenues due to decreased royalty payments resulting from the decrease in NASCAR game sales compared to the prior period..

 

Esports segment gross profit was $0.0 million for 2024, compared to a loss of $0.1 million for 2023, representing a gross profit margin of 0.0% and a loss of 29.1% for 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Total Operating Expenses  $6,126,991   $15,378,278   $(9,251,287)   (60.2)%

 

Changes in operating expenses are explained in more detail below:

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing expenses were $0.5 million and $1.1 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing a $0.6 million, or 56.7% decrease when compared to the prior period. The reduction in sales and marketing expense was primarily driven by a $0.6 million reduction in payroll and employee-related expenses as a result of lower headcount, when compared to the prior period.

 

Development

 

Development expenses were $1.9 million and $4.2 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing a $2.3 million, or 53.8%, decrease when compared to the prior period. The reduction in development expense was primarily driven by a $2.4 million reduction in payroll and employee related expenses expense as a result of lower headcount when compared to the prior period, partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in software and hosting fees incurred to support our ongoing development efforts.

 

32

 

 

General and Administrative

 

G&A expenses were $3.6 million and $5.9 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 39.3%, when compared to the prior period. The reduction in G&A expense was primarily driven by a $1.5 million reduction in payroll and employee-related expenses, including travel expenses, due to lower headcount period over period, a $0.4 million reduction in insurance costs and a $0.6 million reduction in stock compensation costs. This was partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in litigation fees.

 

Impairment of Intangible Assets

 

Impairment of finite-lived intangible assets was $0.0 million and $4.0 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The trigger for the impairment in 2023 was our decision to explore strategic alternatives and potential options for our business, resulting in a probable likelihood of the sale of certain licensing rights that would result in our inability to comply with the terms of a licensing agreement by the end of the year and the resulting reduction in expected future revenues.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses for 2024 and 2023 presented no significant changes to the depreciation of capital assets.

 

Gain from Settlement of License Liabilities

 

Gain from settlement of license liabilities of $3.2 million for 2024 is primarily comprised of a $2.5 million gain stemming from a Settlement and License Agreement with INDYCAR LLC executed on May 17, 2024 and a gain of $0.6 million related to the Settlement Agreement with BARC (TOCA) LIMITED, the exclusive promoter of the British Touring Car Championship on April 12, 2024.

 

Other Operating Income

 

Other operating income was $0.3 million for 2024, compared to $0.1 million for 2023, an increase of $0.2 million compared to the prior period. Other operating income of $0.3 million for 2024 relates to the gain from the sale of Traxion, which was our motorsport and racing games community content platform, in April 2024.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $0.1 million and 0.4 million for 2024 and 2023 primarily from non-cash interest accretion of our INDYCAR and BTCC license liabilities, which were both fully settled in Q2 2024.

 

Other Income (Loss), net

 

Other income (loss), net was $(0.4) million for 2024, compared to $0.9 million for 2023, a decrease of $1.3 million compared to the prior period. Other loss, net of $0.4 million for 2024 was primarily comprised of $0.5 million in miscellaneous losses arising from foreign currency gains incurred remeasuring transactions denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, offset by $0.1 million in rental income.

 

Other Comprehensive Gain (Loss)

 

Other comprehensive gain was $0.5 million for 2024, compared to other comprehensive loss of $0.3 million in 2023. The $0.8 million increase in other comprehensive loss was primarily due to activity in our U.K. and Netherlands subsidiaries, and represents unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest

 

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest was $0.7 million for 2024 compared to net income of $0.1 million in 2023. The variance was attributed to an increase in net losses in the Le Mans Esports Series Ltd joint venture.

 

33

 

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA, a measure used by management to assess our operating performance, is defined as EBITDA, which is net income (loss) plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, less income tax benefit (if any), adjusted to exclude: (i) acquisition-related expenses; (ii) gain from settlement of license liabilities (iii) impairment of intangible assets; and (iv) stock-based compensation expenses.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (the “Non-GAAP Measure”) is not a financial measure defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Reconciliations of the Non-GAAP Measure to net income (loss), its most directly comparable financial measure, calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are presented in the tables below. We use the Non-GAAP Measure to manage our business and evaluate our financial performance, as Adjusted EBITDA eliminates items that affect comparability between periods that we believe are not representative of our core ongoing operating business. Additionally, we believe that using the Non-GAAP Measure is useful to our investors because it enhances investors’ understanding and assessment of our normalized operating performance and facilitates comparisons to prior periods and our competitors’ results (who may define Adjusted EBITDA differently).

 

The Non-GAAP Measure is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to revenue, income/loss from operations, net (loss) income, or cash flows from operations or as a measure of liquidity or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, the Non-GAAP Measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flows available for our discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements, such as interest payments, tax payments, working capital requirements and debt service requirements. The Non-GAAP Measure has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Management compensates for the limitations of using the Non-GAAP Measure by using it to supplement U.S. GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than would be presented by using only measures in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Non-GAAP Measure may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity

 

We have historically financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operations, advances from Driven Lifestyle pursuant to the $12 million Line of Credit (as defined below) and through sales of our equity securities.

 

34

 

 

We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:

 

   June 30, 2024   December 31, 2023 
Cash and cash equivalents  $529,438   $1,675,210 
Working capital (deficiency)  $(1,952,516)  $(4,074,346)

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we had net income of $0.4 million and negative cash flows from operations of 1.4 million. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $86.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $0.5 million, which increased to $1.3 million as of July 31, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to $0.9 million in net proceeds received from a registered direct offering transaction that closed on July 29, 2024.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we experienced an average net cash burn from operations of approximately $0.2 million per month, and while we have taken measures to reduce our costs, we expect to continue to have a net cash outflow from operations for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop our product portfolio and invest in developing new video game titles. Based on our cash and cash equivalents position and our average cash burn, we do not believe we have sufficient cash on hand to fund our operations over the next year and that additional funding will be required in order to continue operations.

 

Our future liquidity and capital requirements include funds to support the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital, support the development and introduction of new products, maintain existing titles, and certain capital expenditures.

 

In order to address its liquidity shortfall, we continue to explore several options, including, but not limited to: i) additional funding in the form of potential equity and/or debt financing arrangements or similar transactions (collectively, “Capital Financing”); ii) other strategic alternatives for its business, including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of our assets in addition to the recent sales of our NASCAR License and Traxion; and iii) cost reduction and restructuring initiatives, each of which is described more fully below.

 

We continue to explore additional funding in the form of potential Capital Financing and in March 2023 entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “ED Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity LLC, as sales agent (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $10 million (subject to compliance with the limitations set forth in the SEC’s “baby shelf” rules). Subject to the terms and conditions of the ED Agreement, the Sales Agent may sell shares by any method deemed to be an “at-the-market” (“ATM”) offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During the three and six month ended June 30, 2024, we did not sell any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the terms of the ED Agreement. At the time we filed an initial prospectus supplement in connection with the offering of our shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the ED Agreement, the aggregate market value of the shares of Class A common stock eligible for sale under the initial prospectus supplement was approximately $2.9 million, which was based on the limitations of such offerings under SEC Regulations. No sales were made pursuant to the ED Agreement during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. On July 26, 2024, we filed a prospectus supplement terminating the continuous offering, although the ED Agreement remains in effect. However, due to our present liquidity position and required future funding requirements, even if we filed another prospectus supplement to reinstate the continuous offering pursuant to the ED Agreement and raised the maximum amount available for future sales via its ATM program, such proceeds would not be sufficient to satisfy its ongoing liquidity requirements and further potential Capital Financing would be required, in conjunction to the other options we are exploring. Further, there can be no assurance we will be able to obtain funds via our ATM program, should we choose to sell shares under the ED Agreement, nor can there be any other assurance that we can secure additional funding in the form of equity and/or debt financing on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, to satisfy our future needed liquidity and capital resources.

 

Due to the continuing uncertainty surrounding our ability to raise funding in the form of potential Capital Financing, and in light of our liquidity position and anticipated future funding requirements, we continue to explore other strategic alternatives and potential options for our business, including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of certain of our assets in addition to the recent sales of our NASCAR License and Traxion. If any such additional strategic alternative is executed, it is expected it would help to improve our working capital position and reduce overhead expenditures, thereby lowering our expected future cash-burn, and provide some short-term liquidity relief. Nonetheless, even if we are successful in implementing one or more additional strategic alternatives, we will continue to require additional funding and/or further cost reduction measures in order to continue operations, which includes further restructuring of our business and operations. There are no assurances that we will be successful in implementing any additional strategic plans for the sale or licensing of our assets, or any other strategic alternative, which may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions beyond our control.

 

35

 

 

As we continue to address our liquidity constraints, we may need to make further adjustments to our product roadmap in order to reduce operating cash burn. Additionally, we continue to seek to improve our liquidity through maintaining and enhancing cost control initiatives. We plan to continue evaluating the structure of our business for additional changes in order to improve both our near-term and long-term liquidity position, as well as create a healthy and sustainable company from which to operate.

 

If we are unable to satisfy our capital requirements, we could be required to adopt one or more of the following alternatives:

 

  delaying the implementation of or revising certain aspects of our business strategy;
  further reducing or delaying the development and launch of new products and events;
  further reducing or delaying capital spending, product development spending and marketing and promotional spending;
  selling additional assets or operations;
  seeking additional loans from third parties;
  further reducing other discretionary spending;
  entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms; and/or
  significantly curtailing or discontinuing operations or dissolving and liquidating our assets under the bankruptcy laws or otherwise.

 

There can be no assurance that we would be able to take any of the actions referred to above because of a variety of commercial or market factors, including, without limitation, market conditions being unfavorable for an equity or debt issuance or similar transactions, additional loans not being available from third parties, or that the transactions may not be permitted under the terms of our various debt instruments then in effect, such as due to restrictions on the incurrence of debt, incurrence of liens, asset dispositions and related party transactions. In addition, such actions, if taken, may not enable us to satisfy our capital requirements if the actions that we are able to consummate do not generate a sufficient amount of additional capital.

 

Even if we do secure additional Capital Financing, if the anticipated level of revenues are not achieved because of, for example, decreased sales of our products due to the disposition of key assets, such as the sale of our NASCAR License, further changes our product roadmap and/or our inability to deliver new products for our various other licenses; less than anticipated consumer acceptance of our offering of products and events; less than effective marketing and promotion campaigns, decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the overall electronic games category; adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates; decreased sales of our products and events as a result of increased competitive activities by our competitors; changes in consumer purchasing habits, such as the impact of higher energy prices on consumer purchasing behavior; retailer inventory management or reductions in retailer display space; less than anticipated results from our existing or new products or from our advertising and/or marketing plans; or if our expenses, including, without limitation, for marketing, advertising and promotions, product returns or price protection expenditures, exceed the anticipated level of expenses, our liquidity position may continue to be insufficient to satisfy our future capital requirements. If we are ultimately unable to satisfy our capital requirements, we would likely need to dissolve and liquidate our assets under the bankruptcy laws or otherwise.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Going Concern, we have evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the accompanying consolidated financial statements to this Report are issued. The factors described above, in particular the lack of available cash on hand to fund operations over the next year, have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes we will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $1.4 million and $8.9 million, respectively. The net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily a result of cash used to generate net income of $0.4 million, adjusted for net non-cash adjustments of $2.0 million and $0.2 million of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily a result of cash used to fund a net loss of $13.5 million, adjusted for net non-cash adjustments of $6.0 million and $1.4 million of cash used by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was approximately $0.03 million, which was attributable to the purchases of property and equipment.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.05 million, which was related to the repayment of purchase commitment liabilities. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $10.2 million. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were primarily attributable to $0.6 million raised in connection with shares sold under the Alumni Purchase Agreement (as defined in Note 7 - Stockholders’ Equity of the condensed consolidated financial statements) and $10.4 million raised in connection with shares sold in our registered direct offerings, partially offset by $0.6 million of payments for purchase commitments and $0.3 million for payments relating to license liabilities.

 

Promissory Note Line of Credit

 

On April 1, 2020, we entered into a promissory note (the “$12 million Line of Credit”) with an affiliated entity, Driven Lifestyle, that provided us with a line of credit of up to $10 million (which was subsequently increased to $12 million pursuant to an amendment executed in November 2020) at an interest rate of 10% per annum, the availability of which is dependent on Driven Lifestyle’s available liquidity. The $12 million Line of Credit does not have a stated maturity date and is payable upon demand at any time at the sole and absolute discretion of Driven Lifestyle, and any principal and accrued interest owed will be accelerated and become immediately payable in the event we consummate certain corporate events, such as a capital reorganization. We may prepay the $12 million Line of Credit in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without penalty or charge. Additionally, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Liquidity - Limits on our borrowing capacity under the $12 million Line of Credit may affect our ability to finance our operations” in Part I, Item 1A of the 2023 Form 10-K.

 

On September 8, 2022, we entered into a support agreement with Driven Lifestyle (the “Support Agreement”) pursuant to which Driven Lifestyle issued approximately $3 million (the “September 2022 Cash Advance”) to us in accordance with the $12 million Line of Credit. Additionally, the Support Agreement modified the $12 million Line of Credit such that, among other things, until June 30, 2024, Driven Lifestyle would not demand repayment of the September 2022 Cash Advance or other advances under the $12 million Line of Credit, unless certain events occurred, as prescribed in the Support Agreement, such as the completion of a new financing arrangement or we generate positive cash flows from operations, among others. All principal and accrued interest owed on the $12 million Line of Credit were exchanged for equity following the completion of two debt-for-equity exchange agreements with Driven Lifestyle on January 30, 2023 and February 1, 2023, relieving us of approximately $3.9 million in owed principal and unpaid interest in exchange for an aggregate of 780,385 shares of our Class A common stock. See Note 5 – Related Party Loans in our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report for further information. As of June 30, 2024, the balance due to Driven Lifestyle under the $12 million Line of Credit was $0.

 

37

 

 

As of June 30, 2024, the $12 million Line of Credit remains in place. However, we believe that there is a substantial likelihood that Driven Lifestyle will not fulfill any future borrowing requests, and therefore we do not view the $12 million Line of Credit as a viable source for future liquidity needs.

 

Other Financing Activity

 

On February 1, 2023, we issued 183,020 shares of our Class A common stock in a registered direct offering priced at-market under NASDAQ rules, with a fair market value of approximately $3.9 million (the “$3.9 million RDO”), before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by us. H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) acted as the exclusive placement agent for the $3.9 million RDO, pursuant to the engagement letter with us, dated as of January 9, 2023. In connection with the $3.9 million RDO, we paid Wainwright a cash transaction fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the registered direct offering, non-accountable expenses of $50,000 and closing fees of $15,950. We has also issued to Wainwright warrants to purchase up to 10,981 shares of Class A Common Stock, which is equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock placed in the $3.9 million RDO, at an exercise price of $26.75 per share and will expire five years from the closing of the $3.9 million RDO.

 

On February 2, 2023, we issued 144,366 shares of our Class A common stock in a registered direct offering priced at-market under NASDAQ rules, with a fair market value of approximately $3.4 million (the “$3.4 million RDO”), before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by us. Wainwright acted as the exclusive placement agent for the $3.4 million RDO. In connection with the $3.4 million RDO, we paid Wainwright a cash transaction fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the registered direct offering, non-accountable expenses of $25,000 and closing fees of $15,950. We has also issued to Wainwright warrants to purchase up to 8,662 shares of Class A Common Stock, which is equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock placed in the $3.4 million RDO, at an exercise price of $29.375 per share and will expire five years from the closing of the $3.4 million RDO.

 

On February 3, 2023, we issued 232,188 shares of our Class A common stock in a registered direct offering priced at-market under NASDAQ rules, with a fair market value of approximately $4.0 million (the “$4.0 million RDO”), before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by us. Wainwright acted as the exclusive placement agent for the $4.0 million RDO. In connection with the $4.0 million RDO, we paid Wainwright a cash transaction fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the registered direct offering, non-accountable expenses of $25,000 and closing fees of $15,950. We have also issued to Wainwright and its designees warrants to purchase up to 13,931 shares of Class A Common Stock, which is equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock placed in the $4.0 million RDO, at an exercise price of $21.738 per share and will expire five years from the closing of the $4.0 million RDO.

Capital Expenditures

 

The nature of our operations do not require significant expenditures on capital assets, nor do we typically enter into significant commitments to acquire capital assets. We do not have material commitments to acquire capital assets as of June 30, 2024.

 

Material Cash Requirements

 

Except as described below, there have been no material changes in our reported material cash requirements as described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Material Cash Requirements” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2023 Form 10-K.

 

On April 12, 2024, we entered into the BARC Settlement Agreement with BARC. Pursuant to the BARC Settlement Agreement, we and BARC, without admitting any liabilities, agreed that the license agreement between the parties relating to the Previous BTCC License was terminated without any liabilities and that any and all royalties and/or any other sums whatsoever were forgiven by BARC and discharged in their entirety in consideration of (i) our one-time payment of $225,000 to BARC and (ii) we and BARC entering, effective as of April 12, 2024, into a new license agreement to use certain licensed intellectual property related to, themed as, or containing the BTCC. Prior to entering into the BARC Settlement Agreement, we had a total remaining liability in connection with the Previous BTCC License, inclusive of unpaid installments, of $0.9 million.

 

On May 17, 2024, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and License with INDYCAR (“the INDYCAR Agreement”). The INDYCAR Agreement resolved any and all disputes between us and INDYCAR with respect to the termination of (i) the License Agreement, dated July 13, 2021, by and between INDYCAR and us with respect to INDYCAR SERIES racing series related gaming products and (ii) the License Agreement, dated July 13, 2021, by and between INDYCAR and us with respect to INDYCAR SERIES racing series related esports events. Prior to entering into the INDYCAR Agreement, we had a total remaining liability in connection with the July 13, 2021 INDYCAR License, inclusive of unpaid installments, of $2.9 million.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any relationships with any organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

There have been no material changes to the items disclosed as critical accounting policies and estimates under “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of the 2023 Form 10-K.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

As an “emerging growth company”, the JOBS Act allows us to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time as we are no longer considered to be an emerging growth company.

 

Our analysis of recently issued accounting standards are more fully described in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024 because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) as discussed in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of the 2023 Form 10-K, and that continued to exist as of June 30, 2024.

 

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

 

We have not yet remediated the material weaknesses relating to (i) our failure to design and maintain effective monitoring procedures and controls to evaluate the effectiveness of our individual control activities and (ii) a lack of sufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, training and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely, each of which are discussed further in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” of the 2023 Form 10-K.

 

If not remediated, or if we identify further material weaknesses in our internal controls, our failure to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements and a failure to meet our reporting and financial obligations. We have made limited progress on the remediation plans described in our 2023 Form 10-K, under Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures.” During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we continued our evaluation and documentation of some risks and key controls forming part of the significant business processes, including internal control over financial reporting risk assessment scoping, and identification of key transaction level and entity level controls that require testing on an ongoing basis.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Except as described above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of our business. We believe that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, except as otherwise disclosed in this Report. In light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to our operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of our income for that particular period. See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies Litigation in our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Report for additional information.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the 2023 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the 2023 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. There have been no material changes from these risk factors as of the date of filing of this Report.

 

We have incurred significant losses since our inception, and we expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, our financial condition raises substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We had negative cash flows from operations of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $86.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $0.5 million. We incurred a net loss of $14.3 million and had negative cash flows from operations of $12.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $87.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 million. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we experienced an average net cash burn from operations of approximately $1.1 million per month. We expect to continue to have a net cash outflow from operations for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop our product portfolio and invest in developing new video game titles.

 

As a result of our financial condition, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern. The report of our independent registered public accountant on our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 also includes explanatory language describing the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There have been no adjustments to the accompanying financial statements to reflect this uncertainty. See Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Going Concern” of his Report, Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Going Concern” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Risks and Uncertainties in our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

 

If we are unable to satisfy our capital requirements, we could be required to adopt one or more of the following alternatives:

 

  delaying the implementation of or revising certain aspects of our business strategy;
  further reducing or delaying the development and launch of new products and events;
  further reducing or delaying capital spending, product development spending and marketing and promotional spending;
  selling additional assets or operations;
  seeking additional capital contributions and/or loans from Driven Lifestyle, our other affiliates and/or third parties;
  further reducing other discretionary spending;
  entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms; and/or
  significantly curtailing or discontinuing operations.

 

41

 

 

There can be no assurance that we would be able to take any of the actions referred to above because of a variety of commercial or market factors, including, without limitation, market conditions being unfavorable for an equity or debt issuance or similar transactions, additional capital contributions and/or loans not being available from Driven Lifestyle or affiliates and/or third parties, or that the transactions may not be permitted under the terms of our various debt instruments then in effect, such as due to restrictions on the incurrence of debt, incurrence of liens, asset dispositions and related party transactions. In addition, such actions, if taken, may not enable us to satisfy our capital requirements if the actions that we are able to consummate do not generate a sufficient amount of additional capital. If we are ultimately unable to satisfy our capital requirements, we would likely need to dissolve and liquidate our assets under the bankruptcy laws or otherwise.

 

We depend on a relatively small number of franchises for a significant portion of our revenues and profits.

 

We follow a franchise model and a significant portion of our revenues has historically been derived from products based on a relatively small number of popular franchises, including our NASCAR products, which have historically accounted for the majority of our revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, revenues associated with our NASCAR franchise accounted for approximately 71.6% and 62.9% of our total revenue, respectively. Revenues associated with our NASCAR franchise accounted for approximately 51.6% and 67.5% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Following the sale of our NASCAR License and the execution of the NASCAR New Limited License, which allows us to sell our NASCAR games and DLCs that are currently in our product portfolio through December 31, 2024, we anticipate the amount of revenue to be generated by our existing NASCAR products to decline over time and to cease after December 31, 2024.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, three customers accounted for 23.6%, 20.5% and 41.2% of our revenue and during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the same three customers accounted for 21.2%, 20.6% and 47.3% of our revenue. In addition, the same customers represented 28.7%, 31.1% and 30.8% of our accounts receivable at June 30, 2024.

 

A reduction in sales from or loss of these customers, in a significant amount, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

 

Due to this dependence on a limited number of franchises, the failure to achieve anticipated results by one or more products based on these franchises, or the loss of any franchise, could negatively impact our business. For example, with the consummation of the sale of our NASCAR License to iRacing on October 3, 2023, we are no longer the official video game developer and publisher for the NASCAR video game racing franchise and no longer have the exclusive right to create and organize esports leagues and events for NASCAR using our NASCAR racing video games. Accordingly, we no longer have the right to use the NASCAR brand for our products other than a limited non-exclusive right and license to, among other things, sell our NASCAR games and DLCs that are currently in our product portfolio through December 31, 2024. Similarly, our BTCC license agreement and INDYCAR license agreements were terminated by the respective licensors, effective November 2023. We believe this will require us to modify our existing business model and significantly alter the risk profile relating to our operations. As a result, we may encounter difficulties or challenges in continuing operations due to the sale of our NASCAR License and the termination of our BTCC license agreement and INDYCAR license agreements, and our cash flows and results of operations will likely be materially adversely impacted as we anticipate the amount of revenue to be generated by our existing NASCAR products to decline over time.

 

Additionally, if the popularity of a franchise declines, we may have to write off the unrecovered portion of the underlying intellectual property assets, which could negatively impact our business. In the future, we expect this trend to continue with a relatively limited number of franchises producing a disproportionately high percentage of our revenues and profits.

Our Class A common stock may be delisted from NASDAQ, which could affect the market price and liquidity of our Class A common stock.

 

We are required to continually meet NASDAQ’s listing requirements, including, among other things, a minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of at least $2,500,000 for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). As described in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 22, 2023, we received a deficiency letter from NASDAQ’s Listing Qualifications Department (the “NASDAQ Staff”) on November 17, 2023 notifying us that we were not in compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. In our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we reported stockholders’ equity of $498,897, which was below the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. Additionally, we did not meet either of the alternative Nasdaq continued listing standards under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, which include (i) a market value of listed securities of at least $35 million or (ii) net income of $500,000 from continuing operations in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years. As of December 31, 2023, our stockholders’ equity was $2,089,704.

 

In accordance with NASDAQ rules, we had until January 2, 2024 to submit a plan to the NASDAQ Staff to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, which we submitted by such date. On February 5, 2024, Nasdaq notified us that, based on its review of the Company and the materials submitted by us to NASDAQ, NASDAQ Staff determined to grant us an extension to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement until May 15, 2024, subject to the Company regaining and evidencing compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement by such date.

 

Any delisting of our Class A common stock from NASDAQ, including as a result of our inability to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, could adversely affect our ability to attract new investors, reduce the liquidity of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock, reduce our ability to raise additional capital, reduce the price at which our Class A common stock trades, result in negative publicity and increase the transaction costs inherent in trading such shares with overall negative effects for our stockholders. We cannot assure you that our Class A common stock, if delisted from NASDAQ, will be listed on another national securities exchange or quoted on an over-the-counter quotation system. In addition, delisting of our Class A common stock could deter broker-dealers from making a market in or otherwise seeking or generating interest in our Class A common stock and might deter certain institutions and persons from investing in our securities at all. For these reasons and others, delisting could adversely affect our business, financial condition and liquidity.

 

To regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, we entered into the INDYCAR Agreement. Pursuant to the INDYCAR Agreement, our liability to INDYCAR, LLC in the amount of approximately $2.9 million was settled for $400,000, which resulted in a gain of approximately $2.5 million, which resulted in a $2.5 million increase to our stockholders’ equity. On June 3, 2024, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notified us that based on our disclosure of the INDYCAR Agreement in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed by us on May 23, 2024, Nasdaq’s staff has determined that we comply with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. If we fail to evidence compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement upon the filing of this Report, we may be subject to delisting. At that time, Nasdaq will provide written notification to us, which we may then appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

 

Driven Lifestyle controls a significant amount of our Class A common stock and all our Class B common stock and therefore it has the ability to exert significant control over the direction of our business, which could prevent other stockholders from influencing significant decisions regarding our business plans and other matters.

 

Driven Lifestyle currently owns all of the shares of our Class B common stock and 1,480,385 shares of our Class A common stock, which together represents a significant combined voting power of both classes of our common stock as of August 9, 2024. Our Class B common stock has ten times the voting power of our Class A common stock. As long as Driven Lifestyle continues to control a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock, it will generally be able to determine the outcome of all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors. Even if Driven Lifestyle were to control less than a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock, it may be able to influence the outcome of such corporate actions so long as it owns a significant portion of our common stock. In the event Driven Lifestyle or its affiliates relinquish beneficial ownership of any of the Driven Lifestyle Initial Class A Shares at any time, one share of Class B common stock held by Driven Lifestyle will be cancelled for each such Driven Lifestyle Initial Class A Share no longer beneficially owned by Driven Lifestyle or its affiliates. If, however, Driven Lifestyle does not dispose of its Driven Lifestyle Initial Class A Shares, it could remain our controlling stockholder for an extended period of time or indefinitely.

 

43

 

 

Driven Lifestyle’s interests may not be the same as, or may conflict with, the interests of our other stockholders. Moreover, Mike Zoi, who is the manager of Driven Lifestyle and has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of our common stock held by Driven Lifestyle, may also have interests that are not the same as, or may conflict with, the interests of our other stockholders. Holders of our Class A common stock will not be able to affect the outcome of any stockholder vote while Driven Lifestyle controls the majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. As a result, Driven Lifestyle will be able to control, directly or indirectly and subject to applicable law, all matters affecting us, including:

 

● any determination with respect to our business direction and policies, including the appointment and removal of officers and directors;

 

● any determinations with respect to mergers, business combinations or the disposition of assets;

 

● compensation and benefit programs and other human resources policy decisions;

 

● the payment of dividends on our common stock; and

 

● determinations with respect to tax matters.

 

Because Driven Lifestyle’s interests may differ from ours or from those of our other stockholders, actions that Driven Lifestyle take with respect to us, as our controlling stockholder, may not be favorable to us or our other stockholders, including holders of our Class A common stock.

 

We could be subject to unanticipated adverse effects arising from our inability to fully repay Luminis International B.V. and Technology In Business B.V., the sellers of Studio 397 B.V. (“Studio397”), relating to our acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Studio397 in April 2021.

 
On April 20, 2021 we acquired 100% of the share capital of Studio 397 B.V. (“Studio397”) from Luminis International B.V. and Technology In Business B.V. (collectively, the “Sellers”). The purchase price originally consisted of a cash payment at closing and payments due at a later date. To date, we have not paid all of the payments due subsequent to the closing. Pursuant to the terms of agreements that we entered into, we are required to pay interest on the amounts owed but unpaid. The remaining balance owed as of June 30, 2024, was $0.6 million with unpaid accrued interest of $0.3 million. As security for payment of the amounts owed, we pledged stock of
Studio397, the voting rights of which the seller could request to be transferred to it thirty days after such nonpayment.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

There were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, other than as reported in our filings with the SEC.

Not applicable.

 

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

We did not purchase any shares of our Class A common stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

 

None.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information

 

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 16a-1(f)) adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5–1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5–1 trading arrangement,” each as defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.

BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, AND RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, AND RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

Organization and Operations

 

Motorsport Gaming US LLC (“Motorsport Gaming”) was established as a limited liability company on August 2, 2018 under the laws of the State of Florida. On January 8, 2021, Motorsport Gaming converted into a Delaware corporation pursuant to a statutory conversion and changed its name to Motorsport Games Inc. (“Motorsport Games” or the “Company”). Upon effecting the corporate conversion on January 8, 2021, Motorsport Games now holds all the property and assets of Motorsport Gaming, and all of the debts and obligations of Motorsport Gaming were assumed by Motorsport Games by operation of law upon such corporate conversion.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The Company had net income of $0.4 million and negative cash flows from operations of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $86.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $0.5 million, which increased to $1.3 million as of July 31, 2024. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to $0.9 million in net proceeds received from a registered direct offering transaction that closed on July 29, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company settled its outstanding licensing liabilities with INDYCAR LLC and BARC (TOCA) LIMITED for $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company experienced an average net cash burn from operations of approximately $0.2 million per month, and while it has taken, and continues to take measures to reduce its costs, the Company expects to continue to have a net cash outflow from operations for the foreseeable future as it continues to develop its product portfolio and invest in developing new video game titles.

 

The Company’s future liquidity and capital requirements include funds to support the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital, support the development and introduction of new products, maintain existing titles, and certain capital expenditures.

 

In order to address its liquidity shortfall, the Company continues to explore several options, including, but not limited to: i) additional funding in the form of potential equity and/or debt financing arrangements or similar transactions (collectively, “Capital Financing”); ii) other strategic alternatives for its business, including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of the Company’s assets in addition to the recent sales of its NASCAR License (as defined below) and Traxion (as defined below); and iii) cost reduction and restructuring initiatives, each of which is described more fully below.

 

On July 29, 2024, the Company closed on a registered direct offering transaction with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acting as the exclusive placement agent, which raised $1 million in gross proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The Company continues to explore additional funding in the form of potential Capital Financing and on March 31, 2023 entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “ED Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity LLC, as sales agent (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock having an aggregate gross offering price of up to $10 million (subject to compliance with the limitations set forth in the SEC’s “baby shelf” rules). Subject to the terms and conditions of the ED Agreement, the Sales Agent may sell shares by any method deemed to be an “at-the-market” (“ATM”) offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. At the time the Company filed an initial prospectus supplement in connection with the offering of its shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the ED Agreement, the aggregate market value of the shares of Class A common stock eligible for sale under the initial prospectus supplement was approximately $2.9 million, which was based on the limitations of such offerings under SEC Regulations. No sales were made pursuant to the ED Agreement during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. On July 26, 2024, the Company filed a prospectus supplement terminating the continuous offering, although the ED Agreement remains in effect. However, due to the Company’s present liquidity position and required future funding requirements, even if the Company filed another prospectus supplement to reinstate the continuous offering pursuant to the ED Agreement and raised the maximum amount available for future sales via its ATM program, such proceeds would not be sufficient to satisfy its ongoing liquidity requirements and further potential Capital Financing would be required, in conjunction to the other options being explored by the Company. Further, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain funds via its ATM program, should it choose to sell shares under the ED Agreement, nor can there be any other assurance that the Company can secure additional funding in the form of equity and/or debt financing on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, to satisfy its future needed liquidity and capital resources.

 

 

Motorsport Games Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Due to the continuing uncertainty surrounding the Company’s ability to raise funding in the form of potential Capital Financing, and in light of its liquidity position and anticipated future funding requirements, the Company continues to explore other strategic alternatives and potential options for its business, including, but not limited to, the sale or licensing of certain of the Company’s assets in addition to the recent sales of its NASCAR License and Traxion.

 

If any such additional strategic alternative is executed, it is expected it would help to improve the Company’s working capital position and reduce overhead expenditures, thereby lowering the Company’s expected future cash-burn, and providing some short-term liquidity relief. Nonetheless, even if the Company is successful in implementing one or more additional strategic alternatives, the Company will continue to require additional funding and/or further cost reduction measures in order to continue operations, which includes further restructuring of its business and operations. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in implementing any additional strategic plans for the sale or licensing of its assets, or any other strategic alternative, which may be subject to the satisfaction of conditions beyond the Company’s control.

 

As the Company continues to address its liquidity constraints, the Company may need to make further adjustments to its product roadmap in order to reduce operating cash burn. Additionally, the Company continues to seek to improve its liquidity through maintaining and enhancing cost control initiatives. The Company plans to continue evaluating the structure of its business for additional changes in order to improve both its near-term and long-term liquidity position, as well as create a healthy and sustainable company from which to operate.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company would be able to take any of the financing actions referred to above because of a variety of commercial or market factors, including, without limitation, market conditions being unfavorable for an equity or debt issuance or similar transactions, loans not being available from third parties, or that the transactions may not be permitted under the terms of the Company’s various debt instruments then in effect, such as due to restrictions on the incurrence of debt, incurrence of liens, asset dispositions and related party transactions. In addition, such actions, if taken, may not enable the Company to satisfy its capital requirements if the actions that the Company is able to consummate do not generate a sufficient amount of additional capital.

 

Even if the Company does secure additional Capital Financing, if the anticipated level of revenues are not achieved because of, for example, decreased sales of the Company’s products due to the disposition of key assets, such as the sale of its NASCAR License and/or the Company’s inability to deliver new products for its various other licenses; less than anticipated consumer acceptance of the Company’s offering of products and events; less than effective marketing and promotion campaigns, decreased consumer spending in response to weak economic conditions or weakness in the overall electronic games category; adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates; decreased sales of the Company’s products and events as a result of increased competitive activities by the Company’s competitors; changes in consumer purchasing habits, such as the impact of higher energy prices on consumer purchasing behavior; retailer inventory management or reductions in retailer display space; less than anticipated results from the Company’s existing or new products or from its advertising and/or marketing plans; or if the Company’s expenses, including, without limitation, for marketing, advertising and promotions, product returns or price protection expenditures, exceed the anticipated level of expenses, the Company’s liquidity position may continue to be insufficient to satisfy its future capital requirements. If the Company is ultimately unable to satisfy its capital requirements, it would likely need to dissolve and liquidate its assets under the bankruptcy laws or otherwise.

 

 

Motorsport Games Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

If the Company is unable to satisfy its capital requirements, it could be required to adopt one or more of the following alternatives:

 

  delaying the implementation of or revising certain aspects of the Company’s business strategy;
  further reducing or delaying the development and launch of new products and events;
  further reducing or delaying capital spending, product development spending and marketing and promotional spending;
  selling additional assets or operations;
  seeking additional loans from third parties;
  further reducing other discretionary spending;
  entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms; and/or
 

significantly curtailing or discontinuing operations.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Going Concern, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The factors described above, in particular the lack of available cash on hand to fund operations over the next year, have raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the years then ended which are included in the 2023 Form 10-K.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

 

The Company’s significant estimates used in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition criteria, including allowances for returns and price protection, offering periods for deferred net revenue, valuation allowance of deferred income taxes, the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities, and stock-based compensation valuation. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and may cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the presentation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on prior periods’ net income (loss).

 

Non-controlling Interests

 

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of net assets in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. The net assets of the shared entities are attributed to the controlling and non-controlling interests based on the terms of the governing contractual arrangements. For the joint venture with Automobile Club de l’Ouest discussed in Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies, the Company further determined the hypothetical liquidation at book value method (“HLBV Method”) to be the appropriate method for attributing net assets to the controlling and noncontrolling interests as this method most closely mirrors the economics of the governing contractual arrangement. Under the HLBV Method, the Company allocates recorded income (loss) to each investor based on the change, during the reporting period, of the amount of net assets each investor is entitled to under the governing contractual arrangements in a liquidation scenario.

Correction of an Immaterial Error in Previously Issued Financial Statements

 

The Company has revised the presentation of net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest in the joint venture with Automobile Club de l’Ouest discussed in Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies, to correct an immaterial error in the presentation of related the non-controlling interest. This correction increased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to non-controlling interests, decreased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to Motorsport Games, Inc. by $350,059 and decreased net loss per Class A common share attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $0.13 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. It decreased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to non-controlling interests, increased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to Motorsport Games, Inc. by $216,019 and increased net loss per Class A common share attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $0.08 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This correction decreased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to non-controlling interests, increased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to Motorsport Games, Inc. by $41,065 and increased net loss per Class A common share attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $0.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This correction also decreased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to non-controlling interests, increased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to Motorsport Games, Inc. by $257,084 and increased net loss per Class A common share attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $0.11 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Furthermore, this correction decreased stockholders’ deficit attributable to non-controlling interests and decreased stockholders’ equity attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $411,535 as of December 31, 2023.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time as the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election.

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The new guidance improves reportable segment disclosures primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and by requiring current annual disclosures to be provided in interim periods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented unless impracticable to do so. As the guidance requires only additional disclosure, there will be no effects of this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The new guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. As the guidance requires only additional disclosure, there will be no effects of this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, as included in the 2023 Form 10-K, except as disclosed in this note.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives revenue principally from sales of its games, and related extra content and services that can be experienced on game consoles, PCs and mobile phones. The Company’s product and service offerings include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  full games with both online and offline functionality (“Games with Services”), which generally includes (1) the initial game delivered digitally or via physical disc at the time of sale and typically provide access to offline core game content (“software license”); (2) updates on a when-and-if-available basis, such as software patches or updates, and/or additional free content to be delivered in the future (“future update rights”); and (3) a hosted connection for online playability (“online hosting”);
  extra content related to Games with Services which provides access to additional in-game content;

 

The Company evaluates and recognizes revenue by:

 

  identifying the contract(s) with the customer;
  identifying the performance obligations in the contract;
  determining the transaction price;
  allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
  recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., “transfer of control”).

 

Online-Enabled Games

 

Games with Services. The Company’s sales of Games with Services are evaluated to determine whether the software license, future update rights and the online hosting are distinct and separable. Sales of Games with Services are generally determined to have three distinct performance obligations: software license, future update rights, and the online hosting.

 

 

Motorsport Games Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Since the Company does not sell the performance obligations on a stand-alone basis, the Company considers market conditions and other observable inputs to estimate the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation. For Games with Services, generally 75 percent of the sales price is allocated to the software license performance obligation and recognized at a point in time when control of the license has been transferred to the customer. The remaining 25 percent is allocated to the future update rights and the online hosting performance obligations and recognized ratably as the service is provided (over the Estimated Offering Period).

 

Extra Content. Revenue received from sales of downloadable content are derived primarily from the sale of digital in-game content that are designed to extend and enhance players’ game experience. Sales of extra content are accounted for in a manner consistent with the treatment for the Company’s Games with Services as discussed above, depending upon whether or not the extra content has offline functionality. That is, if the extra content has offline functionality, then the extra content is accounted for similarly to Games with Services (generally determined to have three distinct performance obligations: software license, future update rights, and the online hosting). If the extra content does not have offline functionality, then the extra content is determined to have one distinct performance obligation: the online-hosted service.

 

Significant Judgments around Revenue Arrangements

 

Identifying performance obligations. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, (i.e., the customer can benefit from the goods or services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available), and are distinct in the context of the contract (i.e., it is separately identifiable from other goods or services in the contract). To the extent a contract includes multiple promises, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether those promises are separate and distinct performance obligations. If these criteria are not met, the promises are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

 

Determining the transaction price. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration that the Company will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring its goods and services to the customer. Determining the transaction price often requires judgment, based on an assessment of contractual terms and business practices. It further includes review of variable consideration such as discounts, sales returns, price protection, and rebates, which is estimated at the time of the transaction. In addition, the transaction price does not include an estimate of the variable consideration related to sales-based royalties. Sales-based royalties are recognized as the sales occur.

 

Allocating the transaction price. Allocating the transaction price requires that the Company determine an estimate of the relative stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. Determining the relative stand-alone selling price is inherently subjective, especially in situations where the Company does not sell the performance obligation on a stand-alone basis (which occurs in the majority of transactions). In those situations, the Company determines the relative stand-alone selling price based on various observable inputs using all information that is reasonably available. Examples of observable inputs and information include historical internal pricing data and pricing data from competitors, to the extent the data is available. The results of the Company’s analysis resulted in a specific percentage of the transaction price being allocated to each performance obligation.

 

Determining the Estimated Offering Period. The offering period is the period in which the Company offers to provide the future update rights and/or online hosting for the game and related extra content sold. Because the offering period is not an explicitly defined period, the Company must make an estimate of the offering period for the service-related performance obligations (i.e., future update rights and online hosting). Determining the Estimated Offering Period is inherently subjective and is subject to regular revision. Generally, the Company considers the average period of time customers are online when estimating the offering period. The Company recognizes revenue for future update rights and online hosting performance obligations ratably on a straight-line basis over this period as there is a consistent pattern of delivery for these performance obligations. Revenue for service-related performance obligations for digitally-distributed games and extra content is recognized over an estimated seven-month period beginning in the month of sale.

Deferred Revenue

 

The Company’s deferred revenue, or contract liability, is classified as current and is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (Also refer Note 4 – Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities). Revenue collected in advance of the event is recorded as deferred revenue until the event occurs. Development and coding revenues are also recorded as deferred revenue until the Company’s performance obligation is performed. Furthermore, deferred revenue includes payment advances from the Company’s channel partners and sales transactions including future update rights and online hosting performance obligations, which are subject to deferral and recognized over the Estimated Offering Period.

 

Revenue recognized in the period from amounts included in contract liability at the beginning of the period was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Dilutive common-equivalent shares consist of shares of options and warrants, if not anti-dilutive.

 

The following shares were excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Licensing Agreements

 

In March 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to facilitate the Le Mans Esports Series as part of a joint venture with Automobile Club de l’Ouest (“ACO”), the organizer of the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. Through the Company’s ownership interest in this joint venture, which was increased to 51% from 45% in January 2021, the Company secured the rights to be the exclusive video game developer and publisher for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race and the FIA World Endurance Championship (the “WEC”), which the 24 Hours of Le Mans race is a part of, for a ten-year period. In addition, through this joint venture with ACO, the Company has the right to create and organize esports leagues and events for the Le Mans Esports Series. The Company acquired a video gaming license (the “Le Mans Gaming License”) and an esports license related to its ownership interest in this joint venture with the ACO.

 

In 2021, the Company also acquired intangible assets comprising the KartKraft computer video game as well as software, tradename and non-compete agreements related to its acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Studio397 B.V.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY LOANS

 

The Company has a $12 million line of credit with an affiliated entity, Driven Lifestyle (the “$12 million Line of Credit”), which bears interest at an annual rate of 10%, the availability of which is dependent on Driven Lifestyle’s available liquidity. The $12 million Line of Credit does not have a stated maturity date and is payable upon demand at any time at the sole and absolute discretion of Driven Lifestyle, and any principal and accrued interest owed will be accelerated and become immediately payable in the event the Company consummates certain corporate events, such as a capital reorganization. The Company may repay the $12 million Line of Credit in whole or in part at any time or from time to time without penalty or charge.

 

On September 8, 2022, the Company entered into a support agreement with Driven Lifestyle (the “Support Agreement”) pursuant to which Driven Lifestyle issued approximately $3 million (the “September 2022 Cash Advance”) to the Company in accordance with the $12 million Line of Credit. Additionally, the Support Agreement modified the $12 million Line of Credit such that, among other things, until June 30, 2024, Driven Lifestyle would not demand repayment of the September 2022 Cash Advance or other advances under the $12 million Line of Credit, unless certain events occurred, as prescribed in the Support Agreement, such as the completion of a new financing arrangement or the Company generates positive cash flows from operations, among others. All principal and accrued interest owed on the $12 million Line of Credit were exchanged for equity following the completion of two debt-for-equity exchange agreements with Driven Lifestyle on January 30, 2023 and February 1, 2023, relieving the Company of approximately $3.9 million in owed principal and unpaid interest in exchange for an aggregate of 780,385 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

As of June 30, 2024, the $12 million Line of Credit remains in place. However, the Company believes that there is a substantial likelihood that Driven Lifestyle will not fulfill any future borrowing requests, and therefore does not view the $12 million Line of Credit as a viable source for future liquidity needs.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there was no balance due to Driven Lifestyle under the $12 million Line of Credit.

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In addition to the $12 million Line of Credit, the Company had other related party receivables and payables outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Specifically, the Company owed approximately $0.1 million to its related parties as a related party payable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, approximately $1.0 million was paid to related parties in settlement of related party payables. The Company’s corporate headquarters, located in Miami, Florida and consisting of approximately 2,000 square feet of office space, are owned by Driven Lifestyle and are used rent-free by the Company.

 

On May 3, 2024 (but effective as of October 1, 2023), the Company entered into a new lease agreement with Lemon City Group, LLC, an entity controlled by Driven Lifestyle, for approximately 800 square feet of storage space located in Miami, Florida. The term of the lease is nine months, with a commencement date of October 1, 2023, consistent with the Company’s initial date of occupancy, and expiring on June 30, 2024, terminable with a 60-day written notice with no penalty.

Registered Direct Offerings and the Wainwright Warrants

 

On February 1, February 2 and February 3, 2023, the Company completed three separate registered direct offerings (the “Offerings”) priced at-market under NASDAQ rules with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acting as the exclusive placement agent for each transaction (the “Agent”). In connection with the Offerings, the Company paid the Agent a transaction fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each offering, non-accountable expenses and certain other closing fees. In addition, the Company granted warrants to the Agent (or its designees) to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock placed in each Offering (collectively, the “Wainwright Warrants”). The Offerings are summarized as follows:

 

    Offering Date   Shares Issued     Gross

As of June 30, 2024, the Wainwright Warrants were assessed to have a fair value of approximately $0.02 million and deemed to be liability-classified awards, which were recorded within other non-current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company utilized a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to determine the fair value of the Wainwright Warrants. The Black-Scholes model requires management to make a number of key assumptions, including expected volatility, expected term, and risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is estimated using the rate of return on U.S. treasury notes with a life that approximates the expected term. The expected term assumption used in the Black-Scholes model represents the period of time that the Wainwright Warrants are expected to be outstanding and is estimated using the contractual term of the Wainwright Warrants.

 

Stock Purchase Commitment Agreement

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued 175,167 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, with a fair value of $657,850, to Alumni Capital LP (“Alumni Capital”). The shares were sold pursuant to a stock purchase commitment agreement, that was entered into on December 9, 2022 with Alumni Capital (the “Alumni Purchase Agreement”).

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation

 

The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows, except as otherwise disclosed below. In light of the uncertainties involved in legal proceedings generally, the ultimate outcome of a particular matter could be material to the Company’s operating results for a particular period depending on, among other things, the size of the loss or the nature of the liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that particular period. Litigation or other legal proceedings, with or without merit, is unpredictable and generally expensive and time consuming and, even if resolved in the Company’s favor, is likely to divert significant resources from the Company’s core business, including distracting its management personnel from their normal responsibilities.

 

 

Motorsport Games Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. The Company recognizes legal costs associated with loss contingencies in the period incurred.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

On February 11, 2021, HC2 Holdings 2 Inc. (now known as Innovate 2) (“Innovate”) and Continental General Insurance Company (“Continental”), former minority stockholders of 704Games, filed a complaint (the “HC2 and Continental Complaint”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against the Company, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer, and the manager of Driven Lifestyle. The complaint was later amended and added Leo Capital Holdings LLC (“Leo Capital”) as an additional plaintiff and the controller of Driven Lifestyle as an additional individual defendant. The complaint alleges, among other things, purported misrepresentations and omissions concerning 704Games’ financial condition made in connection with the Company’s purchase of these minority shareholders’ interest in 704Games in August and October 2020. The complaint asserts claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder; Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act; Section 20A of the Exchange Act; breach of the Company’s obligations under the Stockholders’ Agreement dated August 14, 2018; fraudulent inducement; breach of fiduciary duties; and unjust enrichment. The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, damages from the defendants, jointly and severally, based on the alleged difference between the fair market value of the shares of common stock of 704Games on the date of plaintiffs’ sale and the purchase price that was paid, as well as punitive damages and other relief. In May 2021, the Company, along with the other defendants, filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ complaint. On March 28, 2022, the court entered an order denying the motion to dismiss.

 

On January 11, 2023, in connection with the HC2 and Continental Complaint, the Company, along with other defendants, entered into a settlement agreement with one of the plaintiffs, Continental, to settle the claims made by Continental against the defendants and the claims made by the defendants against Continental. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay the sum of $1.1 million to Continental. The Company paid an initial payment of approximately $0.1 million on January 17, 2023, and was obligated to make payments of no less than approximately $40,000 every 30 days after the initial payment date until the settlement amount of $1.1 million was paid in full. As of June 30, 2024, all required payments under the settlement agreement with Continental have been made.

 

On October 14, 2023, the Company, along with other defendants, reached and executed a settlement agreement with Leo Capital in connection with the HC2 and Continental Complaint, which settles the claims made by Leo Capital against the defendants, as well as the claims made by the defendants against Leo Capital. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company agreed to pay the sum of $0.2 million to Leo Capital. The Company paid the full $0.2 million settlement on October 16, 2023, as required by terms of the settlement agreement.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

In respect of Innovate, the Company believes that the plaintiff’s allegations are without merit and the Company intends to continue to vigorously defend its position to the fullest extent permitted by law. Given the litigation is ongoing, the outcome of the litigation remains uncertain at this time. As such, the Company does not believe it is probable a settlement will be reached, nor can any such settlement amount be reasonably estimable, and has not recognized a settlement liability in respect of the remaining plaintiff.

 

On July 28, 2023, Wesco Insurance Company (“Wesco”) filed a complaint in state court in Florida against the Company, as well as the other defendants involved in the litigation related to the HC2 and Continental Complaint (the “Underlying Action”). The Company had previously submitted the Underlying Action for coverage under a management liability policy issued by Hallmark Specialty Insurance Company (“Hallmark”) and an excess policy with Wesco (the “Wesco Policy”). Wesco’s complaint seeks declaratory relief to determine Wesco’s obligations to the defendants under an excess policy of insurance issued to the Company by Wesco for the Underlying Action. Wesco claims that there is no coverage afforded to the defendants for the Underlying Action under the Wesco Policy. The Company disagrees with and disputes Wesco’s position regarding coverage for the Underlying Action under the Wesco Policy and plans to defend its position.

 

On November 22, 2023, the Company entered into an insurance policy and claims release with Hallmark (the “Hallmark Settlement”) related to a previously submitted Underlying Action for coverage under a management liability policy issued by Hallmark. Under the terms of the Hallmark Settlement, Hallmark agreed to pay $1.75 million, which was fully paid by Hallmark within 30 days of execution of the Hallmark Settlement.

 

Commitments

 

On January 25, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Le Mans Amendment”) to the Le Mans Esports Series Ltd joint venture agreement, which resulted in an increase of the Company’s ownership interest in the Le Mans Esports Series Ltd joint venture from 45% to 51%. Additionally, through certain multi-year licensing agreements that were entered into in connection with the Le Mans Amendment, the Company secured the rights to be the exclusive video game developer and publisher for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race and the WEC, as well as the rights to create and organize esports leagues and events for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, the WEC and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual event.

The Company is obligated to pay ACO an annual royalty payment beginning from the time of the launch of the first video game product and continuing through each anniversary thereof for the term of the license. Further, pursuant to the Le Mans Amendment, the Company has a right to priority distribution of profits to recoup the additional funding and royalty payments made by the Company under the Le Mans Gaming License. See Note 3 – Intangible Assets for additional information.

 

Epic License Agreement

 

On August 11, 2020, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Epic Games International (“Epic”) for worldwide licensing rights to Epic’s proprietary computer program known as the Unreal Engine 4.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT REPORTING

NOTE 11 – SEGMENT REPORTING

 

The Company’s principal operating segments coincide with the types of products and services to be sold. The products and services from which revenues are derived are consistent with the reporting structure of the Company’s internal organization. The Company’s two reportable segments for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were (i) the development and publishing of interactive racing video games, entertainment content and services (the “Gaming segment”); and (ii) the organization and facilitation of esports tournaments, competitions and events for the Company’s licensed racing games as well as on behalf of third-party video game racing series and other video game publishers (the “esports segment”). The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Segment information is presented based upon the Company’s management organization structure as of June 30, 2024 and the distinctive nature of each segment. Future changes to this internal financial structure may result in changes to the reportable segments disclosed. There are no inter-segment revenue transactions and, therefore, revenues are only to external customers. As the Company primarily generates its revenues from customers in the United States, no geographical segments are presented.

 

Segment operating profit is determined based upon internal performance measures used by the CODM. The Company derives the segment results from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies the Company uses to derive reportable segment results are the same as those used for external reporting purposes. Management measures the performance of each reportable segment based upon several metrics, including net revenues, gross profit and operating loss. Management uses these results to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the reportable segments. The Company manages certain operating expenses separately at the corporate level and does not allocate such expenses to the segments. Segment income from operations excludes interest income/expense and other income or expenses and income taxes according to how a particular reportable segment’s management is measured. Management does not consider impairment charges, and unallocated costs in measuring the performance of the reportable segments.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and determined that there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to the Company’s disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On July 26, 2024, the Company entered into definitive agreements for the sale and issuance of 460,830 shares of Class A common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) of the Company at an offering price of $2.17 per share (or per pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof), in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under NASDAQ rules. In a concurrent private placement, the Company issued unregistered Series A warrants to purchase up to 460,830 shares of Class A common stock and unregistered Series B warrants to purchase up to 460,830 shares of Class A common stock, each will be exercisable on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the unregistered common warrants (the “Stockholder Approval”), at an exercise price of $2.17 per share. The Series A warrants will expire five and one-half years following the Stockholder Approval and the Series B warrants will expire 18 months following the Stockholder Approval. The closing of the offering occurred on July 29, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering. The gross proceeds to the Company from this offering was approximately $1.0 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

On August 8, 2024 (but effective as of July 1, 2024), the Company amended its Backoffice Services Agreement with Driven Lifestyle (the “Amended Backoffice Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amended Backoffice Services Agreement, Driven Lifestyle will provide office space, accounting, payroll and benefits, human resources and other back-office services on a full-time basis to support the Company’s business functions. The term of the Amended Backoffice Services Agreement is 12 months from the effective date. The term will automatically renew for successive 12-month terms unless either party provides written notice of nonrenewal at least 30 days prior to the end of the then current term. The Amended Backoffice Services Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time with 60 days prior notice. Pursuant to the Amended Backoffice Services Agreement, the Company is required to pay a monthly fee to Driven Lifestyle of $12,500.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2024 or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the years then ended which are included in the 2023 Form 10-K.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

 

The Company’s significant estimates used in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition criteria, including allowances for returns and price protection, offering periods for deferred net revenue, valuation allowance of deferred income taxes, the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities, and stock-based compensation valuation. Certain of the Company’s estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and may cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the presentation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on prior periods’ net income (loss).

 

Non-controlling Interests

Non-controlling Interests

 

Non-controlling interests represent the portion of net assets in consolidated subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. The net assets of the shared entities are attributed to the controlling and non-controlling interests based on the terms of the governing contractual arrangements. For the joint venture with Automobile Club de l’Ouest discussed in Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies, the Company further determined the hypothetical liquidation at book value method (“HLBV Method”) to be the appropriate method for attributing net assets to the controlling and noncontrolling interests as this method most closely mirrors the economics of the governing contractual arrangement. Under the HLBV Method, the Company allocates recorded income (loss) to each investor based on the change, during the reporting period, of the amount of net assets each investor is entitled to under the governing contractual arrangements in a liquidation scenario.

Correction of an Immaterial Error in Previously Issued Financial Statements

 

The Company has revised the presentation of net loss attributable to the non-controlling interest in the joint venture with Automobile Club de l’Ouest discussed in Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies, to correct an immaterial error in the presentation of related the non-controlling interest. This correction increased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to non-controlling interests, decreased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to Motorsport Games, Inc. by $350,059 and decreased net loss per Class A common share attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $0.13 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. It decreased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to non-controlling interests, increased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to Motorsport Games, Inc. by $216,019 and increased net loss per Class A common share attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $0.08 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This correction decreased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to non-controlling interests, increased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to Motorsport Games, Inc. by $41,065 and increased net loss per Class A common share attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $0.02 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This correction also decreased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to non-controlling interests, increased net loss and comprehensive loss attributable to Motorsport Games, Inc. by $257,084 and increased net loss per Class A common share attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $0.11 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Furthermore, this correction decreased stockholders’ deficit attributable to non-controlling interests and decreased stockholders’ equity attributable to Motorsport Games Inc. by $411,535 as of December 31, 2023.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time as the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election.

 

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). The new guidance improves reportable segment disclosures primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and by requiring current annual disclosures to be provided in interim periods. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented unless impracticable to do so. As the guidance requires only additional disclosure, there will be no effects of this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The new guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, and the amendments should be applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. As the guidance requires only additional disclosure, there will be no effects of this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives revenue principally from sales of its games, and related extra content and services that can be experienced on game consoles, PCs and mobile phones. The Company’s product and service offerings include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  full games with both online and offline functionality (“Games with Services”), which generally includes (1) the initial game delivered digitally or via physical disc at the time of sale and typically provide access to offline core game content (“software license”); (2) updates on a when-and-if-available basis, such as software patches or updates, and/or additional free content to be delivered in the future (“future update rights”); and (3) a hosted connection for online playability (“online hosting”);
  extra content related to Games with Services which provides access to additional in-game content;

 

The Company evaluates and recognizes revenue by:

 

  identifying the contract(s) with the customer;
  identifying the performance obligations in the contract;
  determining the transaction price;
  allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
  recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., “transfer of control”).

 

Online-Enabled Games

 

Games with Services. The Company’s sales of Games with Services are evaluated to determine whether the software license, future update rights and the online hosting are distinct and separable. Sales of Games with Services are generally determined to have three distinct performance obligations: software license, future update rights, and the online hosting.

 

 

Motorsport Games Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Since the Company does not sell the performance obligations on a stand-alone basis, the Company considers market conditions and other observable inputs to estimate the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation. For Games with Services, generally 75 percent of the sales price is allocated to the software license performance obligation and recognized at a point in time when control of the license has been transferred to the customer. The remaining 25 percent is allocated to the future update rights and the online hosting performance obligations and recognized ratably as the service is provided (over the Estimated Offering Period).

 

Extra Content. Revenue received from sales of downloadable content are derived primarily from the sale of digital in-game content that are designed to extend and enhance players’ game experience. Sales of extra content are accounted for in a manner consistent with the treatment for the Company’s Games with Services as discussed above, depending upon whether or not the extra content has offline functionality. That is, if the extra content has offline functionality, then the extra content is accounted for similarly to Games with Services (generally determined to have three distinct performance obligations: software license, future update rights, and the online hosting). If the extra content does not have offline functionality, then the extra content is determined to have one distinct performance obligation: the online-hosted service.

 

Significant Judgments around Revenue Arrangements

 

Identifying performance obligations. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, (i.e., the customer can benefit from the goods or services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available), and are distinct in the context of the contract (i.e., it is separately identifiable from other goods or services in the contract). To the extent a contract includes multiple promises, the Company must apply judgment to determine whether those promises are separate and distinct performance obligations. If these criteria are not met, the promises are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.

 

Determining the transaction price. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration that the Company will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring its goods and services to the customer. Determining the transaction price often requires judgment, based on an assessment of contractual terms and business practices. It further includes review of variable consideration such as discounts, sales returns, price protection, and rebates, which is estimated at the time of the transaction. In addition, the transaction price does not include an estimate of the variable consideration related to sales-based royalties. Sales-based royalties are recognized as the sales occur.

 

Allocating the transaction price. Allocating the transaction price requires that the Company determine an estimate of the relative stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. Determining the relative stand-alone selling price is inherently subjective, especially in situations where the Company does not sell the performance obligation on a stand-alone basis (which occurs in the majority of transactions). In those situations, the Company determines the relative stand-alone selling price based on various observable inputs using all information that is reasonably available. Examples of observable inputs and information include historical internal pricing data and pricing data from competitors, to the extent the data is available. The results of the Company’s analysis resulted in a specific percentage of the transaction price being allocated to each performance obligation.

 

Determining the Estimated Offering Period. The offering period is the period in which the Company offers to provide the future update rights and/or online hosting for the game and related extra content sold. Because the offering period is not an explicitly defined period, the Company must make an estimate of the offering period for the service-related performance obligations (i.e., future update rights and online hosting). Determining the Estimated Offering Period is inherently subjective and is subject to regular revision. Generally, the Company considers the average period of time customers are online when estimating the offering period. The Company recognizes revenue for future update rights and online hosting performance obligations ratably on a straight-line basis over this period as there is a consistent pattern of delivery for these performance obligations. Revenue for service-related performance obligations for digitally-distributed games and extra content is recognized over an estimated seven-month period beginning in the month of sale.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred Revenue

 

The Company’s deferred revenue, or contract liability, is classified as current and is included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets (Also refer Note 4 – Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities). Revenue collected in advance of the event is recorded as deferred revenue until the event occurs. Development and coding revenues are also recorded as deferred revenue until the Company’s performance obligation is performed. Furthermore, deferred revenue includes payment advances from the Company’s channel partners and sales transactions including future update rights and online hosting performance obligations, which are subject to deferral and recognized over the Estimated Offering Period.

 

Revenue recognized in the period from amounts included in contract liability at the beginning of the period was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common-equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Dilutive common-equivalent shares consist of shares of options and warrants, if not anti-dilutive.

 

The following shares were excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Licensing Agreements

 

In March 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to facilitate the Le Mans Esports Series as part of a joint venture with Automobile Club de l’Ouest (“ACO”), the organizer of the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. Through the Company’s ownership interest in this joint venture, which was increased to 51% from 45% in January 2021, the Company secured the rights to be the exclusive video game developer and publisher for the 24 Hours of Le Mans race and the FIA World Endurance Championship (the “WEC”), which the 24 Hours of Le Mans race is a part of, for a ten-year period. In addition, through this joint venture with ACO, the Company has the right to create and organize esports leagues and events for the Le Mans Esports Series. The Company acquired a video gaming license (the “Le Mans Gaming License”) and an esports license related to its ownership interest in this joint venture with the ACO.

 

In 2021, the Company also acquired intangible assets comprising the KartKraft computer video game as well as software, tradename and non-compete agreements related to its acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Studio397 B.V.
