RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks described below and other information in this prospectus, including the financial statements and related notes that appear at the end of this report, before deciding to invest in our securities. These risks should be considered in conjunction with any other information included herein, including in conjunction with forward-looking statements made herein.

Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition and operating results. The following discussion of risks is not all-inclusive but is designed to highlight what we believe are the material factors to consider when evaluating our business and expectations. These factors could cause our future results to differ materially from our historical results and from expectations reflected in forward-looking statements.

Risks Related to Our Business, Operations, and Industry

We depend on the strength of our brands.

We expect to derive substantially all of our net sales from sales of branded products and services we own, including Slinger and Gameface. The reputation and integrity of our brands are essential to the success of our business. We believe that our consumers value the status and reputation of brands we promote, and the superior quality, performance, functionality and durability that our brands represent. Building, maintaining and enhancing the status and reputation of our brands’ image is important to expanding our consumer base. Our continued success and growth depend on our ability to protect and promote our brands, which, in turn, depends on factors such as the quality, performance, functionality and durability of our products and services, our communication activities, including advertising and public relations, and our management of the consumer experience, including direct interfaces through customer service and warranty repairs. We may decide to make substantial investments in these areas in order to maintain and enhance our brand, and such investments may not be successful.

Additionally, in order to expand our reach, we engage with third-party distributors. To the extent those third-party distributors fail to comply with our operating guidelines, we may not be successful in protecting our brand image. Product defects, product recalls, counterfeit products and ineffective marketing are among the potential threats to the strength of our brands and to protect our brands’ status we may need to make substantial expenditures to mitigate the impact of such threats.

Moreover, if we fail to continue to innovate to ensure that our products are deemed to achieve superior levels of function, quality and design, or to otherwise be sufficiently distinguishable from our competitors’ products, or if we fail to manage the growth of our on-line sales in a way that protects the high-end nature of our brands, the value of our brands may be diluted, and we may not be able to maintain our premium position and pricing or sales volumes, which could adversely affect our financial performance and business. We believe that maintaining and enhancing our brands image in new markets where we have limited brand recognition is important to expanding our consumer base. If we are unable to maintain or enhance our brands in new markets, then our growth strategy could be adversely affected.

The cost of raw materials, labor or freight could lead to an increase in our cost of sales and cause our results of operations to suffer.

Increasing costs for raw materials, labor or freight could make our sourcing processes more costly and negatively affect our gross margin and profitability. Labor costs at our independent manufacturers’ sites have been increasing and it is unlikely that these increases will abate. Wage and price inflation in our source countries could cause unanticipated price increases, which may be significant. Such price increases by our independent manufacturers could be rapid in the absence of manufacturing contracts. Energy costs have fluctuated dramatically in the past and may fluctuate in the future. Rising energy costs may increase our costs of transporting our products for distribution and the costs of products that we source from independent suppliers. Further, many of our products are made of materials, such as high impact plastics, plastic-injected molded parts, and lightweight high tensile strength metals, that are either petroleum-based or require energy to construct and transport. Costs for transportation of such materials have been increasing as the price of petroleum increases. Our independent suppliers and manufacturers may attempt to pass these cost increases on to us, and our relationships with them may be harmed or lost if we refuse to pay such increases, which could lead to product shortages. If we pay such increases, we may not be able to offset them through increases in our pricing and other means, which could adversely affect our ability to maintain our targeted gross margins. If we attempt to pass the increases on to consumers, our sales may be adversely affected.

Our international operations involve inherent risks which could result in harm to our business.

All of our equipment is manufactured outside of the U.S. with a large volume of our products being also sold outside of the U.S. Accordingly, we are subject to the risks generally associated with global trade and doing business abroad, which include foreign laws and regulations, varying consumer preferences across geographic regions, political unrest, disruptions or delays in cross-border shipments and changes in economic conditions in countries in which our products are manufactured or where we sell products. This includes, for example, the uncertainty surrounding the effect of Brexit, including changes to the legal and regulatory framework that apply to the United Kingdom and its relationship with the European Union, as well as new and proposed changes affecting tax laws and trade policy in the U.S. and elsewhere as further described in other risks in this section. The U.S. presidential administration has indicated a focus on policy reforms that discourage U.S. corporations from outsourcing manufacturing and production activities to foreign jurisdictions, including through tariffs or penalties on goods manufactured outside the U.S., which may require us to change the way we conduct business and adversely affect our results of operations.

We develop products in Israel, our chief marketing officer and general counsel are located in Israel, and our team developing our baseball and softball launcher products are located in Israel, and, therefore, our business, financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel.

A portion of our operations, including product development, is based in Israel. Our research and development is conducted through our Israeli subsidiary and our chief marketing officer and chief innovation officer are both located in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel directly affect our business.

Political, economic and military conditions in Israel may directly affect our business. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its neighboring countries, and between Israel and the Hamas and Hezbollah extremist groups. In addition, several countries, principally in the Middle East, restrict doing business with Israel, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies whether as a result of hostilities in the region or otherwise. Any hostilities involving Israel, terrorist activities, political instability or violence in the region or the interruption or curtailment of trade or transport between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect our operations and results of operations and adversely affect the market price of our shares.

Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of an event associated with the security situation in the Middle East. Although the Israeli government is currently committed to covering the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, there can be no assurance that this government coverage will be maintained, or if maintained, will be sufficient to compensate us fully for damages incurred. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, our operations could be disrupted by the obligations of our employees to perform military service. Our chief marketing officer is subject to the obligation to perform reserve military duty. In response to increased tension and hostilities in the region, there have been, at times, call-ups of military reservists, and it is possible that there will be additional call-ups in the future. Our operations could be disrupted by the absence of these employees due to military service. Such disruption could harm our business and operating results.

Popular uprisings in various countries in the Middle East and North Africa are affecting the political stability of those countries. Such instability may lead to deterioration in the political and trade relationships that exist between the State of Israel and these countries. Furthermore, several countries, principally in the Middle East, restrict doing business with Israel and companies with an Israeli presence, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies if hostilities in the region continue or intensify. Such restrictions may seriously limit our ability to sell our products to customers in those countries.

Conditions in Israel, including the recent attack by Hamas and other terrorist organizations from the Gaza Strip and Israel’s war against them, may adversely affect our operations and limit our ability to manage and market our products, which would lead to a decrease in revenues.

Because we develop products in Israel, our chief marketing officer and general counsel are located in Israel, and our team developing our baseball and softball launcher are located in Israel, our business and operations are directly affected by economic, political, geopolitical and military conditions affecting Israel. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have occurred between Israel and its neighboring countries and other hostile non-state actors. These conflicts have involved missile strikes, hostile infiltrations and terrorism against civilian targets in various parts of Israel, which have negatively affected business conditions in Israel.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas militants and members of other terrorist organizations infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of terror attacks on civilian and military targets. Thereafter, these terrorists launched extensive rocket attacks on the Israeli population and industrial centers located along the Israeli border with the Gaza Strip. As of October 11, 2023, such attacks collectively resulted in over 1,200 deaths and over 2,600 injured people, in addition to the kidnapping of a currently indefinite number of civilians, including women and children. Shortly following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas.

The intensity and duration of Israel’s current war against Hamas is difficult to predict, and as are such war’s economic implications on the Company’s business and operations and on Israel’s economy in general. On October 9, 2023, the Central Bank of Israel announced its intent to sell up to $30 billion order to protect the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) from collapse, however despite the foregoing announcement the NIS weakened to approximately 3.92 NIS for one US dollar as of the same day. In addition, on October 9, 2023, the Tel Aviv-35 stock index of blue-chip companies dropped by 6.4% whereas the benchmark TA-125 index fell by 6.2%. These events may imply wider macroeconomic indications of a deterioration of Israel’s economic standing, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company and its ability to effectively conduct is business, operations and affairs.

It is possible that other terrorist organizations will join the hostilities as well, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, and Palestinian military organizations in the West Bank. In the event that hostilities disrupt the development of our products, our ability to deliver products to customers in a timely manner to meet our contractual obligations with customers and vendors could be materially and adversely affected.

Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of events associated with war and terrorism. Although the Israeli government currently covers the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, we cannot assure you that this government coverage will be maintained or that it will sufficiently cover our potential damages. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business.

As a result of the Israeli security cabinet’s decision to declare war against Hamas, several hundred thousand Israeli reservists were drafted to perform immediate military service. If any of our employees and consultants in Israel are called for service in the current war with Hamas, our operations may be disrupted by such absences, which may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Additionally, the absence of employees of our Israeli suppliers and contract manufacturers due to their military service in the current war or future wars or other armed conflicts may disrupt their operations, in which event our ability to deliver products to customers may be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, popular uprisings in various countries in the Middle East and North Africa have affected the political stability of those countries. Such instability may lead to a deterioration in the political and trade relationships that exist between the State of Israel and these countries, such as Turkey. Moreover, some countries around the world restrict doing business with Israel and Israeli companies, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies if hostilities in Israel or political instability in the region continues or increases. These restrictions may limit materially our ability to obtain raw materials from these countries or sell our products to companies and customers in these countries. In addition, there have been increased efforts by activists to cause companies and consumers to boycott Israeli goods. Such efforts, particularly if they become more widespread, may materially and adversely impact our ability to sell our products outside of Israel.

Prior to the Hamas attack in October 2023, the Israeli government pursued extensive changes to Israel’s judicial system, which sparked extensive political debate and unrest. In response to such initiative, many individuals, organizations and institutions, both within and outside of Israel, have voiced concerns that the proposed changes may negatively impact the business environment in Israel including due to reluctance of foreign investors to invest or transact business in Israel as well as to increased currency fluctuations, downgrades in credit rating, increased interest rates, increased volatility in security markets, and other changes in macroeconomic conditions. The risk of such negative developments has increased in light of the recent Hamas attacks and the war against Hamas declared by Israel. To the extent that any of these negative developments do occur, they may have an adverse effect on our business, our results of operations and our ability to raise additional funds, if deemed necessary by our management and board of directors.

Our manufacturing takes place in China and is susceptible to shutdowns and delays caused by the Coronavirus and other diseases and epidemics. Additionally, we rely on independent manufacturers and suppliers.

As of November 24, 2023, one of our manufacturing facilities is located in southern China. Following the outbreak of the Coronavirus our manufacturing facility was shut down for three months, which caused some unforeseen delays in manufacturing and delivery of our products. However, there may be further outbreaks of the Coronavirus and other diseases and epidemics, which may cause further delays and shutdowns. This, in turn, will negatively affect our revenue and increase our expenses and costs.

We do not control our independent manufacturers and suppliers or their labor and other business practices. Violations of labor, environmental or other laws by an independent manufacturer or supplier, or divergence of an independent manufacturer’s or supplier’s labor or other practices from those generally accepted as ethical or appropriate in the U.S., could disrupt the shipments of our products or draw negative publicity for us, thereby diminishing the value of our brand, reducing demand for our products and adversely affecting our net income. Additionally, since we do not manufacture our products, we are subject to risks associated with inventory and product quality-control.

Further, we have not historically entered into manufacturing contracts with our manufacturers; instead, we have hired them on an ad hoc basis. Identifying a suitable manufacturer is an involved process that requires us to become satisfied with the prospective manufacturer’s quality control, responsiveness and service capabilities, financial stability and labor practices. While we have business continuity and contingency plans for alternative sourcing, we may be unable, in the event of a significant disruption in our sourcing, to locate alternative manufacturers or suppliers of comparable quality at an acceptable price, or at all, which could result in product shortages or decreases in product quality, and adversely affect our net sales, gross margin, net income, customer relationships and our reputation.

We rely heavily on supply chain reliability and predictability and continued disruption in our supply chain could have a material adverse impact on operations.

We rely heavily on supply chain reliability and predictability in producing, transporting and delivering our products. The COVID-19 pandemic, Ukraine war, Israel-Hamas war, inflationary trends, shifts in consumer purchasing patterns, availability of transport, labor shortages in the shipping, trucking, and warehousing industries, port strikes, infrastructure congestion, equipment shortages and other factors have all contributed to delivery delays, greater costs and uncertainty in arranging and scheduling transport of our products. If we are unable to reliably and consistently arrange shipment and storage of our products, we may be unable to ship, deliver and store our products in which case, we will have to reverse sales and issue refunds to purchasers of our products. Changes in U.S. and international trade policies, including to import tariffs and trade policies and agreements, to address supply chain issues or otherwise could also have a significant impact on our activities both in the United States and internationally. Supply chain disruptions, both domestic and international, have adversely impacted our operations. Continued disruptions in our supply chain and adverse consequences from aggressive trade policies could have a material adverse impact on our profitability and financial performance.

We face risks associated with operating in international markets.

We operate in a global marketplace and international sales growth is a key element of our growth strategy. We are subject to risks associated with our international operations, including, but not limited to:

Any of these risks could have an adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or growth strategy. Furthermore, some of our international operations are conducted in parts of the world that experience corruption to some degree. Our employees and wholesalers could take actions that violate applicable anti-corruption laws or regulations. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could have an adverse impact on our reputation, our results of operations or our financial position.

Foreign exchange movements may also negatively affect the relative purchasing power of consumers and their willingness to purchase discretionary premium goods, such as our products, which would adversely affect our net sales. We do not currently use the derivative markets to hedge foreign currency fluctuations.

The growth of our business depends on the successful execution of our growth strategy, and our efforts to expand internationally by growing our e-commerce business.

We are focused on developing an integrated Play and Learn platform under our Connexa brand. The Platform will bring together our owned offerings of Gameface and Slinger Bag under the umbrella of the Connexa brand. We believe our success will in large part depend on our ability to develop a cohesive platform that integrates elements of performance analysis from each. We may face difficulties integrating the technology and offerings from each brand in order create a cohesive business. For example, users of the Slinger Bag may view us a sporting goods company and choose not to engage with our technology offerings from the Gameface brand, and users of our Gameface app services may not purchase our ball launchers.

Our current growth strategy depends on our ability to continue to expand our reach geographically in a number of international regions in Asia, Europe, North America, Africa and Australia. This growth strategy is contingent upon our ability to introduce our products to new markets. The implementation of higher tariffs, quotas or other restrictive trade policies in any international regions in which we seek to operate could adversely affect our ability to commence new international operations, which could have an adverse impact on our growth strategy. Further, consumer demand behavior, as well as tastes and purchasing trends, may differ in various countries and, as a result, sales of our products may not be, or may take time to become, successful, and gross margins on those net sales may not be in line with what we currently experience. Our ability to execute our international growth strategy, especially where we are not yet established, depends on our ability to understand regional market demographics, and we may not be able to do so.

If we are unable to develop the integrated Play and Learn platform and expand our business internationally, our growth strategy and our financial results could be materially adversely affected.

If we are unable to respond effectively to changes in market trends and consumer preferences, our market share, net sales and profitability could be adversely affected.

The success of our business depends on our ability to identify the key product and market trends and bring products to market in a timely manner that satisfy the current preferences of a broad range of consumers (either by enhancing existing products or by developing new product offerings). Consumer preferences differ across and within different parts of the world, and shift over time in response to changing aesthetics and economic circumstances. We believe that our success in developing products that are innovative and that meet our consumers’ functional needs is an important factor in our image as a premium brand, and in our ability to charge premium prices. We may not be able to anticipate or respond to changes in consumer preferences, and, even if we do anticipate and respond to such changes, we may not be able to bring to market in a timely manner enhanced or new products that meet these changing preferences. If we fail to anticipate or respond to changes in consumer preferences or fail to bring products to market in a timely manner that satisfy new preferences, our market share and our net sales and profitability could be adversely affected.

We may be unable to appeal to new consumers while maintaining the loyalty of our core consumers.

Part of our growth strategy is to introduce new consumers, including young consumers, to our brands. If we are unable to attract new consumers, including young consumers, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected as our core consumers’ age increases and purchasing frequency decrease. Initiatives and strategies intended to position our brand to appeal to new and young consumers may not appeal to our core consumers and may diminish the appeal of our brand to our core consumers, resulting in reduced core consumer loyalty. If we are unable to successfully appeal to new and young consumers while maintaining our brand’s image with our core consumers, then our net sales and our brand image may be adversely affected.

Our business could suffer if we are unable to maintain our website or manage our inventory effectively.

We employ a distribution strategy that is heavily dependent upon our website and third-party distributors’ e-commerce websites. The effectiveness of our e-commerce strategy depends on our ability to manage our inventory and our distribution processes effectively so as to ensure that our products are available in sufficient quantities and thereby prevent lost sales. If we are not able to maintain our e-commerce channels, or if we are not able to effectively manage our inventory, we could experience a decline in net sales, as well as excess inventories for some products and missed opportunities for other products. In addition, the failure to deliver our products to customers in accordance with our delivery schedules could damage our relationship with these customers and lead to negative feedback being posted on e-commerce sites. Consequently, our net sales, profitability and the implementation of our growth strategy could be adversely affected.

We plan to use cash provided by operating activities to fund our expanding business and execute our growth strategy and may require additional capital, which may not be available to us.

We expect our business to rely on net cash provided by our future operating activities as our primary source of liquidity. To support our business and execute our growth strategy as planned, we will need to generate significant amounts of cash from operations in order to purchase inventory, pay personnel, invest in research and development, and pay for the increased costs associated with operating as a public company. Operating cash flows were weak earlier this year and, as a result, we had to significantly curtail operations and dispose of our PlaySight and Foundation Sports operations. See section entitled “Description of Business—Recent Developments” for more information. If our business does not generate cash flow from operating activities sufficient to fund these activities, and if sufficient funds are not otherwise available to us, we will need to seek additional capital, through debt or equity financings, to fund our growth. Conditions in the credit markets (such as availability of finance and fluctuations in interest rates) may make it difficult for us to obtain such financing on attractive terms or even at all. Additional debt financing that we may undertake, may be expensive and might impose on us covenants that restrict our operations and strategic initiatives, including limitations on our ability to incur liens or additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase our capital stock, make investments and engage in merger, consolidation and asset sale transactions. Equity financings may be on terms that are dilutive or potentially dilutive to our shareholders, and the prices at which new investors would be willing to purchase our equity securities may be lower than the price per share of the Common Stock. The holders of new securities may also have rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of existing holders of Common Stock. If new sources of financing are required, but are unattractive, insufficient or unavailable, then we will be required to modify our growth and operating plans based on available funding, if any, which would inhibit our growth and could harm our business.

Our extended supply chain requires long lead times and relies heavily on manufacturers in Asia.

We rely heavily on manufacturers in Asia, which requires long lead times to get goods to markets. The long lead times will require us to carry extra inventory to avoid out-of-stock scenarios. In the event of a decline in demand for our products, due to general economic conditions or other factors, we may be forced to liquidate this extra inventory at lower margins or at a loss. In addition, consumers’ tastes can change between the time a product is designed and the time it takes to get to market. If the designs are not popular with consumers, it could also result in the need to liquidate the inventories at lower margins or at a loss, which would adversely affect our results of operations.

We depend on existing members of management and key employees to implement key elements in our strategy for growth, and the failure to retain them or to attract appropriately qualified new personnel could affect our ability to implement our growth strategy successfully.

The successful implementation of our growth strategy depends in part on our ability to retain our experienced management team and key employees and on our ability to attract appropriately qualified new personnel. For instance, our chief executive officer has extensive experience running branded sporting goods. The loss of any key member of our management team or other key employees could hinder or delay our ability to implement our growth strategy effectively. Further, if we are unable to attract appropriately qualified new personnel, including a chief financial officer, we may not be successful in implementing our growth strategy. In either instance, our profitability and financial performance could be adversely affected.

We do not employ traditional advertising channels, and if we fail to adequately market our brand through product introductions and other means of promotion, our business could be adversely affected.

Our marketing strategy depends on our ability to promote our brand’s message by using online advertising and social media, and possibly the use of newspapers and magazines to promote new product introductions in a cost-effective manner. We do not employ traditional advertising channels such as billboards, television and radio. If our marketing efforts are not successful at attracting new consumers and increasing purchasing frequency by our existing consumers, there may be no cost-effective marketing channels available to us for the promotion of our brand. If we increase our spending on advertising, or initiate spending on traditional advertising, our expenses will rise, and our advertising efforts may not be successful. In addition, if we are unable to successfully and cost-effectively employ advertising channels to promote our brand to new consumers and new markets, our growth strategy may be adversely affected.

We rely significantly on information technology to operate our business. Any significant security breach of our confidential information of our customers, applications, technology, networks, or other systems critical to our operations, or failure to comply with privacy and security laws and regulations could damage our reputation, brands and business.

We are heavily dependent on information technology systems and networks, including the Internet and third-party services (“Information Technology Systems”), across our supply chain, including product design, production, forecasting, ordering, manufacturing, transportation, sales and distribution, as well as for processing financial information for external and internal reporting purposes, operations and other business activities. Information Technology Systems are critical to many of our operating activities and our business processes and they may be negatively impacted by any service interruption or shutdown. For example, our ability to effectively manage and maintain our inventory and to ship products to customers on a timely basis depends significantly on the reliability of these Information Technology Systems. We rely on a third party systems provider to manage all our company data and transactions, record our financial transactions and manage our operations. The failure of these systems to operate effectively, including as a result of security breaches, viruses, hackers, malware, natural disasters, vendor business interruptions or other causes, or failure to properly maintain, protect, repair or upgrade systems, or problems with transitioning to upgraded or replacement systems could cause delays in product fulfillment and reduced efficiency of our operations, could require additional capital to remediate the problem which may not be sufficient to cover all eventualities, and may have an adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

We also use Information Technology Systems to process financial information and results of operations for internal reporting purposes and to comply with regulatory financial reporting, legal and tax requirements. If Information Technology Systems suffer severe damage, disruption or shutdown and our business continuity plans, or those of our vendors, do not effectively resolve the issues in a timely manner, we could experience delays in reporting our financial results, which could result in lost revenues and profits, as well as reputational damage. Furthermore, we depend on Information Technology Systems and personal data collection for digital marketing, digital commerce, consumer engagement and the marketing and use of our digital products and services. We also rely on our ability to engage in electronic communications throughout the world between and among our employees as well as with other third parties, including customers, suppliers, vendors and consumers. Any interruption in Information Technology Systems may impede our ability to engage in the digital space and result in lost revenues, damage to our reputation, and loss of users.

In connection with various facets of our business, we collect and use a variety of personal data related to our customers. Our failure to prevent security breaches could damage our reputation and brands and substantially harm our business and results of operations. On our website, a majority of the sales are billed to our consumers’ credit card accounts directly, orders are shipped to a consumer’s address, and consumers log on using their email address. In such transactions, maintaining complete security for the transmission of confidential information on our website, such as consumers’ credit card numbers and expiration dates, personal information and billing addresses is essential to maintaining consumer confidence. In addition, we hold certain private information about our consumers, such as their names, addresses, phone numbers and browsing and purchasing records. We rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from third parties to effect the secure transmission of confidential information, including credit card numbers. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments may result in a compromise or breach of the technology used by us to protect consumer transaction data. In addition, any party who is able to illicitly obtain a user’s password could potentially access the user’s transaction data or personal information. We may not be able to prevent third parties, such as hackers or criminal organizations, from stealing information provided by our consumers to us through our website. In addition, our third-party merchants and delivery service providers may violate their confidentiality obligations and disclose information about our consumers. Any compromise of our security or material violation of a non-disclosure obligation could damage our reputation and brand and expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability, which could substantially harm our business and results of operations. In addition, anyone who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations.

Moreover, the platform and applications that we use to operate our business are highly technical and complex and may now or in the future contain undetected errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities. Some errors in our code may only be discovered after the code has been deployed. Any errors, bugs or vulnerabilities discovered in our code after deployment, inability to identify the cause or causes of performance problems within an acceptable period of time or difficultly maintaining and improving the performance of our platform, particularly during peak usage times, could result in damage to our reputation or brand, loss of revenues, or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial results. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and operating results may be harmed.

Global economic, political and industry conditions constantly change and unfavorable conditions may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We are a global company with worldwide operations. Volatile economic, political and market conditions, such as political or economic instability, civil unrest, trade sanctions, acts of terrorism in the regions or hostilities, including the recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the Israel-Hamas war, in which we operate may have a negative impact on our operating results and our ability to achieve our business objectives. We may not have insight into economic and political trends that could emerge and negatively affect our business. In addition, significant or volatile changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies may have a material adverse impact upon our liquidity, revenues, costs and operating results.

Additionally, natural disasters and public health emergencies, such as extreme weather events and the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine War and the Israel-Hamas war, could have a significant adverse effect on our business, including interruption of our business operations, supply chain disruption, endangerment of our personnel, and other delays or losses of materials and results.

The Russian-Ukrainian Conflict may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results.

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. The specific impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is not determinable as of November 24, 2023. However, to the extent that such military action spreads to other countries, intensifies, or otherwise remains active, such action could have an impact on the broader macroeconomic impact and therefore, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. If the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues, the U.S., the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions could impose wider economic and trade sanctions as well as export restrictions, which could impact our business opportunities. In addition, our contractors may take actions in violation of such policies and applicable law, and we could be held ultimately responsible. If we are held responsible for a violation of U.S. or other countries’ sanctions laws, we may be subject to various penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Geopolitical tensions and conflicts in the Middle East, specifically the Israel-Hamas war, may lead to global economic instability and adversely affect supply chains, which may adversely impact our operations, financial conditions and business prospects.

While we do not have any direct operations or significant sales in the Middle East, geopolitical tensions and ongoing conflicts in the region, particularly between Israel and Hamas, may lead to global economic instability and fluctuating energy prices that could materially affect our business. It is not possible to predict the broader consequences of the Israel-Hamas war, including related geopolitical tensions, and the measures and actions taken by other countries in respect thereof, which could materially adversely affect global trade, currency exchange rates, regional economies and the global economy. While it is difficult to predict the impact of any of the foregoing, the Israel-Hamas war may increase our costs, disrupt our supply chain, reduce our sales and earnings, impair our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all, or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our products face intense competition.

We are a sports equipment and technology company delivering products and technologies and the relative popularity of tennis, pickleball and padel tennis and other various sports activities and changing design trends affect the demand for our products. The sports equipment industry and sports-related technology industry are both are highly competitive both in the U.S. and worldwide. We compete internationally with a significant number of athletic and sports equipment companies and sports-related technology companies, including sports-related technology companies, including large companies having diversified lines of athletic and sports equipment and sports technology products. We also compete with other companies for the production capacity of independent manufacturers that produce our products. Our online digital e-commerce operations compete with brand wholesalers or specialist retailers.

Product offerings, technologies, marketing expenditures (including expenditures for advertising and endorsements), pricing, costs of production, customer service, digital commerce platforms and social media presence are areas of intense competition. This, in addition to rapid changes in technology and consumer preferences in the markets for athletic and sports equipment, constitute significant risk factors in our operations. In addition, the competitive nature of retail including shifts in the ways in which consumers are shopping, and the rising trend of digital commerce, constitutes a risk factor implicating our online and wholesale operations. If we do not adequately and timely anticipate and respond to our competitors, our costs may increase or the consumer demand for our products may decline significantly.

The AI-based technology market is new and unproven, and it may decline or experience limited growth, which would adversely affect our ability to fully realize the potential of our platforms.

The AI-based technology market is relatively new and evaluating the size and scope of the market is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. We believe that our future success will depend in large part on the continued growth of this market. The utilization of our app platform by users is untested, and users may not recognize the need for, or benefits of, this app platform, which may prompt them to cease use of our platform or decide to adopt alternative products and services to satisfy their cognitive computing search and analytics requirements. In order to expand our business and extend our market position, we intend to focus our marketing and sales efforts on educating users about the benefits and technological capabilities of our platforms and the applications of our platform to the specific needs of customers in different market verticals. Our ability to access and expand the market that our platform is designed to address depends upon a number of factors, including the cost, performance and perceived value of our platforms. Market opportunity estimates are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates, including our internal analysis and industry experience. The market for our platform may fail to grow significantly or be unable to meet the level of growth we expect. As a result, we may experience lower-than-expected demand for our products and services due to lack of customer acceptance, technological challenges, competing products and services, decreases in spending by current and prospective customers, weakening economic conditions and other causes. If our market does not experience significant growth, or if demand for our products does not increase in line with our projections, then our business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.

We rely on technical innovation and high-quality products to compete in the market for our products.

Research and development play a key role in technical innovation. We rely upon specialists in the fields of electrical and mechanical engineering, industrial design, sustainability and related fields, as well as other experts to develop and test cutting-edge performance products. While we strive to produce products that help to enhance player performance, if we fail to introduce technical innovation in our products, consumer demand for our products could decline, and if we experience problems with the quality of our products, we may incur substantial expense to remedy the problems.

With the acquisition of Gameface, we are slowly transforming from a sports products only company to offering an additional sports technology platform focused on the Play & Learn Platform. If we are unable to successfully integrate this new technology with our existing products, we may not realize the benefits of the Gameface acquisition and / or our relationships with Foundation, and our business may be materially adversely affected.

Prior to our acquisition of Gameface, we focused on the production and sale of the Slinger Bag. Now our focused has shifted to the Play and Learn integrated platform which includes the analysis and AI offered by Gameface. The Play and Learn Platform requires integration of the capabilities of our existing business with those of Gameface. We may not realize the benefits of the Gameface acquisition and our business may be materially adversely affected.

Failure to continue to obtain or maintain high-quality endorsers of our products could harm our business.

We establish relationships with professional athletes, as well as other public figures such as teaching pros and influencers, to develop, evaluate and promote our products, as well as establish product authenticity with consumers. However, as competition in our industry has increased, the costs associated with establishing and retaining such sponsorships and other relationships have increased. If we are unable to maintain our current associations with professional athletes, or other public figures, or to do so at a reasonable cost, we could lose the high visibility or on-field authenticity associated with our products, and we may be required to modify and substantially increase our marketing investments. Any substantial deterioration in these relationships, or substantial deterioration of our relationship with their talent managers or other key personnel, could adversely affect our business. As a result, our brands, net revenues, expenses and profitability could be harmed. If certain endorsers were to stop using our products contrary to their endorsement agreements, our business could be adversely affected.

Actions taken by athletes or other endorsers, associated with our products that harm the reputations of those athletes or endorsers, could also seriously harm our brand image with consumers and, as a result, could have an adverse effect on our sales and financial condition.

Actions taken by athletes or other endorsers, associated with our products that harm the reputations of those athletes or endorsers, could also seriously harm our brand image with consumers and, as a result, could have an adverse effect on our sales and financial condition. Poor performance by our endorsers, a failure to continue to correctly identify future athletes, public figures or sports organizations, to use and endorse our products or a failure to enter into cost-effective endorsement arrangements with prominent athletes, public figures, and sports organizations could adversely affect our brand, sales and profitability. We are also subject to laws, regulations and industry standards relating to endorsements and influencer marketing. Many of these laws, regulations and industry standards are changing and may be subject to differing interpretations, are costly to comply with or inconsistent among jurisdictions.

Our business may be affected by seasonality, which could result in fluctuations in our operating results.

We expect to experience moderate fluctuations in aggregate sales volume during the year. We expect revenues in the first and fourth fiscal quarters to exceed those in the second and third fiscal quarters. However, the mix of product sales may vary considerably from time to time as a result of changes in seasonal and geographic demand for tennis and other sports equipment and in connection with the timing of significant sporting events, such as any Grand Slam tennis tournament and, over time, other sports competitions. In addition, our customers may cancel orders, change delivery schedules or change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice. As a result, we may not be able to accurately predict our quarterly sales. Accordingly, our results of operations are likely to fluctuate significantly from period to period. Our operating margins are also sensitive to a number of additional factors that are beyond our control, including manufacturing and transportation costs, shifts in product sales mix and geographic sales trends, all of which we expect to continue. Results of operations in any period should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.

We may be adversely affected by the financial health of our third-party internet partners, wholesale purchasers, retailers, and distributors.

We extend credit to our distributors and to a select number of third party internet partners based on an assessment of a customer’s financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. To assist in the scheduling of production and the shipping of our products, we offer our distributor partners the opportunity to place orders three months ahead of delivery under our direct ship ordering program. These advance orders may be canceled under certain conditions, and the risk of cancellation may increase when dealing with financially unstable distribution partners struggling with economic uncertainty. In the past, some sports customers have experienced financial difficulties up to and including bankruptcies. Such future events would have an adverse effect on our sales, our ability to collect on receivables and our financial condition. When the retail economy weakens or as consumer behavior shifts, distributors may be more cautious with orders. A slowing or changing economy in our key markets could adversely affect the financial health of our customers, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, product sales are dependent in part on high quality digital advertising and merchandising to attract consumers, which requires continuing investments by the company, our distributors and our third party internet partners. Distributors or partners that experience financial difficulties may fail to make such investments or delay them, resulting in lower sales and orders for our products.

Failure to accurately forecast consumer demand could lead to excess inventories or inventory shortages, which could result in decreased operating margins, reduced cash flows and harm to our business.

There is a risk we may be unable to sell excess products ordered from manufacturers. Inventory levels in excess of customer demand may result in inventory write-downs, and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices could significantly impair our brand image and have an adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition and cash flows. Conversely, if we underestimate consumer demand for our products or if our manufacturers fail to supply products we require at the time we need them, we may experience inventory shortages. Inventory shortages might delay shipments to customers, negatively impact retailer, distributor and consumer relationships and diminish brand loyalty. The difficulty in forecasting demand also makes it difficult to estimate our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from period to period. A failure to accurately predict the level of demand for our products could adversely affect our net revenues and net income, and we are unlikely to forecast such effects with any certainty in advance.

Consolidation of retailers or concentration of retail market share among a few retailers may increase and concentrate our credit risk and impair our ability to sell products.

The sports equipment retail markets in some countries are dominated by a few large athletic equipment retailers with many stores. These retailers have in the past increased their market share by expanding through acquisitions and construction of additional stores. These situations concentrate our credit risk with a relatively small number of retailers, and, if any of these retailers were to experience a shortage of liquidity or consumer behavior shifts away from traditional retail, it would increase the risk that their outstanding payables to us may not be paid. In addition, increasing market share concentration among one or a few retailers in a particular country or region increases the risk that if any one of them substantially reduces their purchases of our products, we may be unable to find a sufficient number of other retail outlets for our products to sustain the same level of sales and revenues.

If the technology-based systems that give our consumers the ability to shop with us online do not function effectively, our operating results, as well as our ability to grow our digital commerce business globally, could be materially adversely affected.

Many of our consumers shop with us through our digital platforms. Increasingly, consumers are using mobile-based devices and applications to shop online with us and with our competitors and to do comparison shopping. We are increasingly using social media and proprietary mobile applications to interact with our consumers and as a means to enhance their shopping experience. Any failure on our part to provide attractive, effective, reliable, user-friendly digital commerce platforms that offer a wide assortment of merchandise with rapid delivery options and that continually meet the changing expectations of online shoppers could place us at a competitive disadvantage, result in the loss of digital commerce and other sales, harm our reputation with consumers, have a material adverse impact on the growth of our digital commerce business globally and could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations. Risks specific to our digital commerce business also include liability for online content. Our failure to successfully respond to these risks might adversely affect sales in our digital commerce business, as well as damage our reputation and brands. Many factors unique to e-commerce operations, some of which are beyond our control, pose risks and uncertainties. Risks include, but are not limited to, credit card fraud or data mismanagement.

Our products are subject to risks associated with overseas sourcing, manufacturing and financing.

The principal materials used in our products (e.g., injection molded plastics, polyester, electrical motors, remote controls, trolley bags) are available in countries where our manufacturing takes place. Our products are dependent upon the ability of our unaffiliated contract manufacturers to locate, train, employ and retain adequate personnel. Our contractors and suppliers buy raw materials and are subject to wage rates that are oftentimes regulated by the governments of the countries in which our products are manufactured.

There could be a significant disruption in the supply of raw materials from current sources or, in the event of a disruption, our contract manufacturers might not be able to locate alternative suppliers of materials of comparable quality at an acceptable price or at all. Further, our unaffiliated contract manufacturers have experienced and may continue to experience in the future, unexpected increases in work wages, whether government mandated or otherwise and increases in compliance costs due to governmental regulation concerning certain metals used in the manufacturing of our products. In addition, we cannot be certain that our unaffiliated manufacturers will be able to fill our orders in a timely manner. If we experience significant increases in demand, or reductions in the availability of materials, or need to replace an existing manufacturer, there can be no assurance additional supplies of raw materials or additional manufacturing capacity will be available when required on terms acceptable to us, or at all, or that any supplier or manufacturer would allocate sufficient capacity to us in order to meet our requirements. In addition, even if we are able to expand existing or find new manufacturing or sources of materials, we may encounter delays in production and added costs as a result of the time it takes to train suppliers and manufacturers in our methods, products, quality control standards and labor, health and safety standards. Any delays, interruption or increased costs in labor or wages, or the supply of materials or manufacture of our products could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet retail customer and consumer demand for our products and result in lower revenues and net income both in the short- and long-term.

Because independent manufacturers make all of our products outside of our principal sales markets, our products must be transported by third parties over large geographic distances. Delays in the shipment or delivery of our products due to the availability of transportation, work stoppages, port strikes, infrastructure congestion or other factors, and costs and delays associated with consolidating or transitioning between manufacturers, could adversely impact our financial performance. In addition, manufacturing delays or unexpected demand for our products may require us to use faster, but more expensive, transportation methods such as air freight, which could adversely affect our profit margins. The cost of oil is a significant component in manufacturing and transportation costs, so increases in the price of petroleum products can adversely affect our profit margins. Changes in U.S. trade policies, including new and potential changes to import tariffs and existing trade policies and agreements, could also have a significant impact on our activities in foreign jurisdictions, and could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our financial results may be adversely affected if substantial investments in businesses and operations fail to produce the expected returns.

From time to time, we may invest in technology, business infrastructure, new businesses, product offering and manufacturing innovation and expansion of existing businesses, such as our digital commerce operations, which require substantial cash investments and management attention. We believe cost-effective investments are essential to business growth and profitability; however, significant investments are subject to typical risks and uncertainties inherent in developing a new business or expanding an existing business. The failure of any significant investment to provide expected returns or profitability could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and divert management attention from more profitable business operations.

Our business is sensitive to consumer spending and general economic conditions.

Our business may be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukraine war, and the Israel-Hamas war, as well as macro-economic conditions such as inflation, employment levels, wage and salary levels, trends in consumer confidence and spending, reductions in consumer net worth, interest rates, inflation, the availability of consumer credit and taxation policies influence on public spending confidence. Recent dramatic downturns in the strength of global stock markets, currencies and key economies have highlighted many if not all, of these risks.

Consumer purchases in general may decline during recessions, periods of prolonged declines in the equity markets or housing markets and periods when disposable income and perceptions of consumer wealth are lower, and these risks may be exacerbated for us due to our focus on discretionary premium sporting good items. A downturn in the global economy, or in a regional economy in which we have significant sales, could have a material, adverse effect on consumer purchases of our products, our results of operations and our financial position, and a downturn adversely affecting our consumer base or travelers could have a disproportionate impact on our business.

There continues to be a significant and growing volatility and uncertainty in the global economy due to the Coronavirus pandemic affecting all business sectors and industries. In addition, the on-going uncertainty in Europe and any resulting disruption could adversely impact our net sales in Europe and globally unless and until economic conditions in that region improve and the prospects of national debt defaults in Europe decline. Further or future downturns may adversely affect traffic at our on-line sales portals (which currently includes our own website https://www.connexasports.com/ and could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and growth strategy).

Likewise, the current impasse in U.S.-China trade relations has resulted in import duties for all Slinger products into the U.S. being increased from the previous standard of 5% to 30%. Our management has taken the view that at this time, gaining distribution and share outweighs the immediate margin consideration and has decided to take the added increase in import tariffs as a margin loss.

There is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern absent obtaining adequate new debt or equity financing and achieving sufficient sales levels.

The Company’s management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended April 30, 2023 and 2022 included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the foregoing. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital and implement our business plan. This determination was based on the following factors: (i) the Company has a working capital deficit as of April 30, 2023, used cash in operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023 of $6,365,389 and the Company’s Available cash as of the date of this filing will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated level of operations for the next 12 months; (ii) the Company will require additional financing for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2023 to continue at its expected level of operations; and (iii) if the Company fails to obtain the needed capital, it will be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of its development activities or perhaps cease operations. In the opinion of management, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern as of the date of the end of the period covered by this report and for one year from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

We have limited financial resources. Our independent registered auditors’ report includes an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As a result of our deficiency in working capital on April 30, 2023 and other factors, our auditors have included a paragraph in their audit report regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plans in this regard are to increase product sales, increase production, obtain inventory financing, seek strategic alternatives and to seek additional capital through future equity private placements or debt facilities.

We have recorded net losses since inception and have significant accumulated deficits. We have relied upon loans and equity financings for operating capital. Total revenues will be insufficient to pay off existing debt and fund operations. We may be required to rely on further debt financing, further loans from related parties, and private placements of shares of Common Stock for our additional cash needs. Such funding sources may not be available, or the terms of such funding sources may not be acceptable to the Company.

We will need additional capital in the future to finance our planned growth, which we may not be able to raise or it may only be available on terms unfavorable to us or our stockholders, which may result in our inability to fund our working capital requirements and harm our operational results.

We have and expect to continue to have substantial working capital needs. Our cash on hand, together with cash generated from product sales, services, cash equivalents and short-term investments will not meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. In fact, we will be required to raise additional funds throughout 2023 or we will need to limit operations until such time as we can raise substantial funds to meet our working capital needs. In addition, we will need to raise additional funds to fund our operations and implement our growth strategy, or to respond to competitive pressures and/or perceived opportunities, such as investment, acquisition, marketing and development activities.

If we experience operating difficulties or other factors, many of which may be beyond our control, cause our revenues or cash flows from operations, if any, to decrease, we may be limited in our ability to spend the capital necessary to complete our development, marketing and growth programs. We require additional financing, in addition to the anticipated cash generated from our operations, to fund our working capital requirements. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. In such a capital restricted situation, we may curtail our marketing, development, and operational activities or be forced to sell some of our assets on an untimely or unfavorable basis.

Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

Our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause us to face regulatory action and also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

However, our auditors will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until we are no longer a “smaller reporting company”.

The costs of being a public company could result in us being unable to continue as a going concern.

As a public company, we are required to comply with numerous financial reporting and legal requirements, including those pertaining to audits and internal control. The costs of maintaining public company reporting requirements could be significant and may preclude us from seeking financing or equity investment on terms acceptable to us and our shareholders. We estimate these costs to be in excess of $500,000 per year and may be higher if our business volume or business activity increases significantly. Our current estimate of costs does not include the necessary expenses associated with compliance, documentation and specific reporting requirements of Section 404 as we will not be subject to the full reporting requirements of Section 404 until we no longer qualify as a “smaller reporting company”.

If our revenues are insufficient or non-existent, and/or we cannot satisfy many of these costs through the issuance of shares or debt, we may be unable to satisfy these costs in the normal course of business. This would certainly result in our being unable to continue as a going concern.

If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, then the price of the Common Stock may be adversely affected.

Our internal control over financial reporting may have weaknesses and conditions that could require correction or remediation, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of the Common Stock. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely affect our public disclosures regarding our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of the Common Stock.

Any acquisitions we make could disrupt our business and seriously harm our financial condition.

We have in the past made (and may, from time to time, consider) acquisitions of complementary companies, products or technologies. A primary component of our growth strategy has been to acquire complementary businesses to grow our Company. For example, we acquired the business of Foundation Sports Systems, LLC, in our fiscal year ended April 30, 2021, and the acquisitions of PlaySight and Gameface closed in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022. In the Company’s fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2023, the Company divested PlaySight and 75% of its interest in Foundation Sports as the required monthly cash burn became increasingly difficult to manage as inflation rose and the cost of manufacturing the Company’s non-technological products grew. As a result, the Company sold PlaySight back to its original owners of in November 2022, and the Company sold most (75%) of Foundation Tennis back to their original owners, with an option to purchase any remaining interests. We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions of complementary technologies, products and businesses as a primary component of our growth strategy to enhance the features and functionality of our applications, expand our customer base and provide access to new markets and increase benefits of scale. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the acquired businesses, the diversion of our management’s attention from other business concerns and potential adverse effects on existing business relationships could cause our actual growth or operating results to differ from our expectations. In addition, any acquisitions could involve the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully integrate any acquisitions that we pursue or that such acquisitions will perform as planned or prove to be beneficial to our operations and cash flow. Any such failure could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, there might be potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers.

Some aspects of our business processes include open-source software, which poses risks that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open-source licenses could negatively affect our business.

We incorporate open-source software into processes supporting our business and anticipate using open- source software in the future. Such open-source software may include software covered by licenses like the GNU General Public License and the Apache License. The terms of various open-source licenses to which we are subject have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to operate our systems, limits our use of the software, inhibits certain aspects of our systems and negatively affects our business operations.

Some open-source licenses contain requirements that we make source code modifications or derivative works we create publicly available or make such modifications or derivative works available on unfavorable terms or at no cost, depending on the type of open-source software used.

While we monitor our use of open-source software and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require us to disclose our proprietary source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open-source license, such use could inadvertently occur, or could be claimed to have occurred, in part because open-source license terms are often ambiguous. We may face claims from third parties claiming ownership of, or demanding the release or license of, modifications or derivative works that we have developed using such open-source software (which could include our proprietary source code or artificial intelligence (“AI”) models), or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open-source license. These claims could result in litigation and if portions of our proprietary AI models or software are determined to be subject to an open-source license, or if the license terms for the open-source software that we incorporate change, we could be required to publicly release all or affected portions of our source code, purchase a costly license, cease offering the implicated products or services unless and until we can re-engineer such source code in a manner that avoids infringement, discontinue or delay the provision of our offerings if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis or change our business activities, any of which could negatively affect our business operations and potentially our intellectual property rights. In addition, the re-engineering process could require us to expend significant additional research and development resources, and we may not be able to complete the re-engineering process successfully. If we were required to publicly disclose any portion of our proprietary models, it is possible we could lose the benefit of trade secret protection for our models.

In addition to risks related to license requirements, the use of certain open-source software can lead to greater risks than the use of third-party commercial software, as open-source licensors generally do not provide support, warranties, indemnification, controls or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the origin of the software. There is little legal precedent in this area, and any actual or claimed requirement to disclose our proprietary source code or pay damages for breach of contract could harm our business and could help third parties, including our competitors, develop products and services that are similar to or better than ours. Use of open-source software may also present additional security risks because the public availability of such software may make it easier for hackers and other third parties to determine how to breach our website and systems that rely on open-source software. Any of these risks associated with the use of open-source software could be difficult to eliminate or manage, and if not addressed, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Systems defects, failures or disruptions, including events beyond our control, and resulting interruptions in the availability of our websites, applications, products, or services could harm our business, harm our reputation, result in significant costs to us, decrease our potential profitability and expose us to substantial liability.

We use vendors, such as our cloud computing web services provider and third-party software providers, in the operation of our platform. The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our technology and our underlying network and infrastructure are critical to our operations and reputation and the ability of our platform to attract new and retain existing customers. We rely on these vendors to protect their systems and facilities against damage or service interruptions from natural disasters, power or telecommunications failures, air quality issues, environmental conditions, computer viruses or attempts to harm these systems, criminal acts, unauthorized access, sabotage, acts of vandalism, military actions, negligence, human errors, fraud, spikes in platform use and denial of service issues, hardware failures, improper operation, cyberattacks, data loss, wars and similar events. If our arrangement with a vendor is terminated or if there is a lapse of service or damage to its systems or facilities, we could experience interruptions in our ability to operate our platform. We also may experience increased costs and difficulties in replacing that vendor and replacement services may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, on a timely basis, or at all.

In addition, our platform may be accessed by many users at the same time. As we continue to expand the number of our users, and products and services available through our platform, we may not be able to scale our technology to accommodate the increased capacity requirements. The failure of data centers, internet service providers or other third- party service providers to meet our capacity requirements could result in interruptions or delays in access to our platform or impede our ability to grow our business and scale our operations. Any interruptions or delays in our platform availability, whether as a result of a failure to perform on the part of a vendor, any damage to one of our vendor’s systems or facilities, the termination of any of our third-party vendor agreements, software failures, our or our vendor’s error, natural disasters, terrorism, other man-made problems, security breaches, whether accidental or willful, or other factors, could harm our relationships with our customers, prevent our customers from accessing their accounts, damage our reputation with current and potential customers, expose us to liability, cause us to lose customers, cause the loss of critical data, prevent us from supporting our platform, products or services or cause us to incur additional expense in arranging for new facilities and support or otherwise harm our business and also harm our reputation.

In addition, we source certain information from third parties. In the event that any third party from which we source information experiences a service disruption, whether as a result of maintenance, natural disasters, terrorism, or security breaches, whether accidental or willful, or other factors, the ability to access our platform may be adversely impacted. Additionally, there may be errors contained in the information provided by third parties. This may result in the inability to approve otherwise qualified applicants through our platform, which may adversely impact our business by negatively impacting our reputation and reducing our transaction volume.

To the extent we use or are dependent on any particular third-party data, technology, or software, we may also be harmed if such data, technology, or software becomes non-compliant with existing regulations or industry standards, becomes subject to third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or other violation, or malfunctions or functions in a way we did not anticipate. Any loss of the right to use any of this data, technology, or software could result in delays in the provisioning of our products and services until equivalent or replacement data, technology, or software is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained, and integrated, and there is no guarantee that we would be successful in developing, identifying, obtaining, or integrating equivalent or similar data, technology, or software, which could result in the loss or limiting of our products, services, or features available in our products or services.

Our ability to sell our products and services will be dependent on the quality of our technical support and our failure to deliver high-quality technical support services could have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations.

If we do not effectively assist our users in deploying our products and services, succeed in helping our users quickly resolve post-deployment issues and provide effective ongoing support, or if potential customers perceive that we may not be able to achieve the foregoing, our ability to sell our products and services would be adversely affected, and our reputation with potential users could be harmed. In addition, if we expand our operations internationally, our technical support team will face additional challenges, including those associated with delivering support, training and documentation in languages other than the English language. As a result, our failure to deliver and maintain high-quality technical support services to our users could result in customers choosing to use our competitors’ products or services in the future.

Our Gameface products and services may fail to keep pace with rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards.

The market in which Gameface operates is characterized by rapid, and sometimes disruptive, technological developments, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions and enhancements and changes in user requirements. In addition, both traditional and new competitors are investing heavily in our market areas and competing for users. As next-generation video analytics technology continues to evolve, we must keep pace in order to maintain or expand our market position. If we are not able to successfully add staff resources with sufficient technical skills to develop and bring new products to market in a timely manner, achieve market acceptance of our products and services or identify new market opportunities for our products and services, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

The business-to-business e-commerce industry is highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete effectively.

The market for business-to-business (“B2B”) e-commerce solutions is rapidly changing and intensely competitive. We expect competition to intensify as the number of entrants and new technologies increases. We may not be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors. The competitive pressures facing us may harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

If we are not able to enhance or introduce new products that achieve market acceptance and keep pace with technological developments, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

Our ability to attract new users and increase revenue from existing customers depends in part on our ability to enhance and improve our platforms, increase adoption and usage of our products and introduce new products and features. The success of any enhancements or new products depends on several factors, including timely completion, adequate quality testing, actual performance quality, market-accepted pricing levels and overall market acceptance and demand. Enhancements and new products that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain defects, may have interoperability difficulties with our platform, or may not achieve the market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. If we are unable to successfully enhance our existing platform and capabilities to meet evolving customer requirements, increase adoption and usage of our platform, develop new products, or if our efforts to increase the usage of our products are more expensive than we expect, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

Customers may experience difficulty in integrating Gameface with third-party applications, which would inhibit sales.

Gameface may serve a customer base with a wide variety of constantly changing hardware, operating system software, packaged software applications and networking platforms. If Gameface fails to gain broad market acceptance due to its inability to support a variety of these platforms, our operating results may suffer. Our business depends, in part, on the following factors:

Lack of cooperation from Vendors of the software we use in Gameface and other products may interfere with the use of Gameface apps and inhibit our business.

Application program interfaces provide the instructions that are required to transfer information into and out of an application and trigger the specific characteristics of that application. These instructions are needed to create adapters between Gameface and third-party software products, but access to application program interfaces is controlled by the vendors of these applications. If the application vendor denies or delays our access to application program interfaces, our business may be harmed. Some application vendors may become competitors or establish alliances with our competitors, increasing the likelihood that we would not be granted access to their application program interfaces. Furthermore, we may need to modify Gameface or develop new adapters in the future as new applications or newer versions of existing applications are introduced. If we fail to continue to develop adapters or respond to new applications or newer versions of existing applications in a timely manner, our business could suffer.

Risks Related to the Company’s Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property and curb the sale of counterfeit merchandise could injure our brand and negatively affect our sales.

Our trademarks, copyrights, patents, designs and other intellectual property rights are important to our success and our competitive position. We devote significant resources to the registration and protection of our trademarks and patents. In spite of our efforts, counterfeiting and design copies may still occur. If we are unsuccessful in challenging the usurpation of these rights by third parties, this could adversely affect our future sales, financial condition and results of operations. Our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights can potentially be met with defenses and counterclaims attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Unplanned increases in legal fees and other costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights could result in higher operating expenses. Additionally, legal regimes outside the U.S., particularly those in Asia, including China, may not always protect intellectual property rights to the same degree as U.S. laws, or the time required to enforce our intellectual property rights under these legal regimes may be lengthy and delay our recovery.

We may become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by our employees, which could result in litigation and adversely affect our business.

A significant portion of our intellectual property has been developed by our employees, or outside consultants in the course of their employment or retention with us. Under the Israeli Patent Law, 5727-1967, or the Patent Law, inventions conceived by an employee during the scope of his or her employment with a company are regarded as “service inventions.” The Israeli Compensation and Royalties Committee, or the Committee, a body constituted under the Patent Law, has previously held, in certain cases, that employees may be entitled to remuneration for service inventions that they develop during their service for a company despite their explicit waiver of such right. Therefore, we may face claims by employees demanding remuneration beyond their regular salary and benefits.

We may be subject to product liability lawsuits or claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims.

We may be subject to product liability lawsuits and claims that, individually or in the aggregate, could harm our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. We may face lawsuits or claims if our products do not perform as expected, malfunction or are used without complying with their specifications. Moreover, a product liability lawsuit or claim, regardless of merit, could generate negative publicity about our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our brand, business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. Any lawsuit or claim seeking monetary damages significantly exceeding our coverage or outside of our coverage may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

If we provide products and services related to sports betting, our business may become subject to a variety of U.S. and foreign laws, many of which are unsettled and still developing and which could subject us to claims or otherwise harm our business. Any adverse change in regulations or their interpretation, or the regulatory climate applicable to these contemplated products and services, or changes in tax rules and regulations or interpretation thereof related to these contemplated products and services, could adversely impact our ability to operate our business as we seek to operate in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our business could potentially expand into sports betting, in which case our business partners are generally subject to laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we will conduct our business or in some circumstances, of those jurisdictions in which we offer our services or those are available, as well as the general laws and regulations that apply to all e-commerce businesses, such as those related to privacy and personal information, tax and consumer protection. These laws and regulations vary from one jurisdiction to another and future legislative and regulatory action, court decisions or other governmental action, which may be affected by, among other things, political pressures, attitudes and climates, as well as personal biases, may at such time have a material impact on our operations and financial results, or may prevent our business partners from expanding into such businesses entirely and thus, may have impact on our business. In addition, some jurisdictions in which we may operate could presently be unregulated or partially regulated and therefore more susceptible to the enactment or change of laws and regulations.

As a result of the foregoing, future legislative and regulatory action, and court decisions or other governmental action, may have a material impact on our business partners’ business and operations, and that may also have an impact on our operations and financial results. Governmental authorities could view us as having violated local laws, despite efforts to obtain all applicable licenses or approvals. There is also a risk that civil and criminal proceedings, including class actions brought by or on behalf of prosecutors or public entities or incumbent monopoly providers, or private individuals, could be initiated against our business partners, us, and others involved in the sports betting industry. Such potential proceedings could involve substantial litigation expense, penalties, fines, seizure of assets, injunctions or other restrictions being imposed upon us or our business partners. Such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as impact our reputation.

Furthermore, there can be no assurance that legally enforceable legislation will not be proposed and passed in jurisdictions relevant or potentially relevant to our business to prohibit, legislate or regulate various aspects of the sports betting industry (or that existing laws in those jurisdictions will not be interpreted negatively). Compliance with any such legislation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, either as a result of our determination not to offer products or services in a jurisdiction or to cease doing so, or because a local license or approval may be costly for us or our business partners to obtain and/or such licenses or approvals may contain other commercially undesirable conditions.

Fluctuations in our tax obligations and effective tax rate may have a negative effect on our operating results.

We may be subject to income taxes in multiple jurisdictions. We record tax expense based on our estimates of future payments, which include reserves for uncertain tax provisions in multiple tax jurisdictions. At any one time, many tax years may be subject to audit by various taxing jurisdictions. The results of these audits and negotiations with taxing authorities may affect the ultimate settlement of these issues. As a result, we expect that throughout the year there could be ongoing variability in our quarterly tax rates as events occur and exposures are evaluated. Further, our effective tax rate in a given financial period may be materially impacted by changes in mix and level of earnings or by changes to existing accounting rules or regulations. In addition, tax legislation enacted in the future could negatively impact our current or future tax structure and effective tax rates.

We do not have covenants not to compete in place with our key employees.

We generally do not enter into non-competition agreements as part of our employment agreements with our employees and it may be difficult for us to restrict our competitors from benefitting from the expertise our former employees or consultants developed while working for us.

We could be subject to changes in tax rates, adoption of new tax laws, additional tax liabilities or increased volatility in our effective tax rate.

We are subject to the tax laws in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Current economic and political conditions make tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation and application, in any jurisdiction subject to significant change. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which includes a number of significant changes to previous U.S. tax laws that impact us, including provisions for a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings, and a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, among other changes. The Tax Act also transitions U.S. international taxation from a worldwide system to a modified territorial system and includes base erosion prevention measures on non-U.S. earnings, which has the effect of subjecting certain earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to U.S. taxation.

We earn a substantial portion of our income in foreign countries and are subject to the tax laws of those jurisdictions. There have been proposals to reform foreign tax laws that could significantly impact how U.S. multinational corporations are taxed on foreign earnings. Although we cannot predict whether or in what form these proposals will pass, several of the proposals considered, if enacted into law, could have an adverse impact on our income tax expense and cash flows.

Portions of our operations are subject to a reduced tax rate or are free of tax under various tax holidays and rulings. We also utilize tax rulings and other agreements to obtain certainty in the treatment of certain tax matters. These holidays and rulings expire in whole or in part from time to time and may be extended when certain conditions are met or terminated if certain conditions are not met. The impact of any changes in conditions would be the loss of certainty in treatment thus potentially impacting our effective income tax rate.

We may also be subject to the examination of our tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. Although we believe our tax provisions are adequate, the final determination of tax audits and any related disputes could be materially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of audits or related disputes could have an adverse effect on our financial statements for the period or periods for which the applicable final determinations are made. For example, we and our subsidiaries are also engaged in a number of intercompany transactions across multiple tax jurisdictions. Although we believe we have clearly reflected the economics of these transactions and the proper local transfer pricing documentation is in place, tax authorities may propose and sustain adjustments that could result in changes that may impact our mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates.

To the extent we may rely on endorsements or testimonials, we will review any relevant relationships for compliance with the Endorsement Guides and we will otherwise endeavor to follow the FTC Act and other legal standards applicable to our advertising.

The FTC regulates the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising as well as relationships between advertisers and social media influencers pursuant to principles described in the FTC’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, or the Endorsement Guides. The Endorsement Guides provide that an endorsement must reflect the honest opinion of the endorser and cannot be used to make a claim about a product that the product’s marketer couldn’t legally make. They also say that if there is a connection between an endorser and the marketer that consumers would not expect and it would affect how consumers evaluate the endorsement, that connection should be disclosed. Another principle in the Endorsement Guides applies to ads that feature endorsements from people who achieved exceptional, or even above average, results from using a product. If the advertiser doesn’t have proof that the endorser’s experience represents what people will generally achieve using the product as described in the ad, then an ad featuring that endorser must make clear to the audience what results they can generally expect to achieve and the advertiser must have a reasonable basis for its representations regarding those generally expected results. Although the Endorsement Guides are advisory in nature and do not operate directly with the force of law, they provide guidance about what the FTC staff generally believes the Federal Trade Commission Act, or FTC Act, requires in the context using of endorsements and testimonials in advertising and any practices inconsistent with the Endorsement Guides can result in violations of the FTC Act’s proscription against unfair and deceptive practices.

To the extent we may rely on endorsements or testimonials, we will review any relevant relationships for compliance with the Endorsement Guides and we will otherwise endeavor to follow the FTC Act and other legal standards applicable to our advertising. However, if our advertising claims or claims made by our social media influencers or by other endorsers with whom we have a material connection do not comply with the Endorsement Guides or any requirement of the FTC Act or similar state requirements, the FTC and state consumer protection authorities could subject us to investigations and enforcement actions, impose penalties, require us to pay monetary consumer redress, require us to revise our marketing materials and require us to accept burdensome injunctions, all of which could harm our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure of our contractors or our licensees’ contractors to comply with local laws and other standards could harm our business.

We work with contractors outside of the U.S. to manufacture our products. We require the contractors that directly manufacture our products and our licensees that make products using our intellectual property (including, indirectly, their contract manufacturers) to comply with environmental, health and safety standards for the benefit of workers. We also require these contractors to comply with applicable standards for product safety. Notwithstanding their contractual obligations, from time-to-time contractors may not comply with such standards or applicable local law or our licensees may fail to enforce such standards or applicable local law on their contractors. Significant or continuing noncompliance with such standards and laws by one or more contractors could harm our reputation or result in a product recall and, as a result, could have an adverse effect on our sales and financial condition. Negative publicity regarding production methods, alleged practices or workplace or related conditions of any of our suppliers, manufacturers or licensees could adversely affect our brand image and sales and force us to locate alternative suppliers, manufacturers or licenses.

We could be subject to a change in tax laws, which may impact tax rates or otherwise adversely impact our tax position and may be subject to a tax audit.

We are subject to the tax laws in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Such laws may change as a result of economic and political conditions, or there may be changes to such laws interpretation and application.

We earn a substantial portion of our income in foreign countries and are subject to the tax laws of those jurisdictions. There have been proposals to reform foreign tax laws that could significantly impact how U.S. multinational corporations are taxed on foreign earnings. Although we cannot predict whether or in what form these proposals will pass, several of the proposals considered, if enacted into law, could have an adverse impact on our income tax expense and cash flows.

We are subject to a complex array of laws and regulations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a global business, we are subject to and must comply with extensive laws and regulations in the U.S. and other jurisdictions in which we have operations and distribution channels. If we or our employees, agents, suppliers, and other partners fail to comply with any of these laws or regulations, such failure could subject us to fines, sanctions or other penalties that could negatively affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. We may be involved in various types of claims, lawsuits, regulatory proceedings and government investigations relating to our business, our products and the actions of our employees and representatives, including contractual and employment relationships, product liability, antitrust, trademark rights and a variety of other matters. It is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of any such legal or regulatory proceedings or investigations, and we could in the future incur judgments, fines or penalties, or enter into settlements of lawsuits and claims that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and negatively impact our reputation. The global nature of our business means legal and compliance risks, such as anti-bribery, anti-corruption, fraud, trade, environmental, competition, privacy and other regulatory matters, will continue to exist and additional legal proceedings and other contingencies will arise from time to time, which could adversely affect us. In addition, the adoption of new laws or regulations, or changes in the interpretation of existing laws or regulations, may result in significant unanticipated legal and reputational risks. Any current or future legal or regulatory proceedings could divert management’s attention from our operations and result in substantial legal fees.

For as long as we are a “smaller reporting company,” we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements that apply to other publicly reporting companies. We cannot predict whether the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common shares less attractive to investors.

We are currently a “smaller reporting company.” For as long as we continue to be a smaller reporting company, we may choose to take advantage of certain exemptions from reporting requirements applicable to other publicly reporting companies that are not smaller reporting companies. These include not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements for the assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting provided by Section 404 of the Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and not being required to provide certain disclosure regarding executive compensation required of larger publicly reporting companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our common shares less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result of any choices to reduce future disclosure, there may be a less active trading market for our shares and our share price may be more volatile. Further, as a result of these scaled regulatory requirements, our disclosure may be more limited than that of other publicly reporting companies and you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of such companies.

We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to earn a profit.

We are required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In order to comply with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm will have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will affect the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit.

However, for as long as we remain a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company.

If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of the Common Stock, could drop significantly.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Shares

Our stock price may be volatile, or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.

You should consider an investment in our securities to be risky, and you should invest in our securities only if you can withstand a significant loss and wide fluctuation in the market value of your investment. The market price of our common shares could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to the factors described in this section and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:

In addition, the securities markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market price of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, systemic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, loss of investor confidence, interest rate changes, or international currency fluctuations, may negatively affect the market price of our shares.

If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to fall and may expose us to securities class action litigation that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to management.

The trading market for our common shares will be influenced by the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. The price of our common shares could decline if one or more securities analysts downgrade our common shares or if those analysts issue a sell recommendation or other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who elect to cover us downgrade our common shares, our share price could decline rapidly. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our common share price and trading volume to decline.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our shares of Common Stock and under the terms of certain outstanding loans, we are not permitted to pay any dividends.

We intend to retain all of our earnings, if any, for the foreseeable future to finance the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors, subject to compliance with applicable law and any contractual provisions, and will depend on, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, under the terms of certain loan agreements between the Company and its lenders, the Company, we may not make any distributions until these loan agreements are repaid in full. At this time, such loans have not been repaid in full. As a result, you should expect to receive a return on your investment in our common shares only if the market price of the Common Stock increases, which may never occur.

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, of shares of Common Stock may depress the price of the Common Stock.

As of February 23, 2024, we had 21,572,447 outstanding shares of Common Stock. Of these shares, 12,807,519 shares were in the public float. The remaining shares of Common Stock outstanding were “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144. Sales of the shares underlying the Notes or the December Warrants in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could reduce the market price of the Common Stock.

Certain of the Company’s large shareholders may be able to exert significant influence on the Company and their interests may conflict with the interests of its other shareholders.

Certain of the Company’s large shareholders represented approximately 35.7% of the Company’s voting rights as of November 24, 2023. Therefore, these shareholders would be able to exert significant influence over certain matters, including matters that must be resolved by the general meeting of shareholders, such as the election of members to the board of directors or the declaration of dividends or other distributions. To the extent that the interests of these shareholders may differ from the interests of the Company’s other shareholders, the Company’s other shareholders may be disadvantaged by any actions that these shareholders may seek to pursue.

Our stockholders may not be able to enforce judgments entered by United States courts against certain of our officers and directors.

We are incorporated in the State of Delaware. However, some of our directors and executive officers may reside outside of the U.S. As a result, our stockholders may not be able to effect service of process upon those persons within the U.S. or enforce against those persons judgments obtained in U.S. courts.

Future sales of shares of Common Stock may result in a decrease in the market price of the Common Stock, even if our business is doing well.

The market price of the Common Stock could drop due to sales of a large number of shares of Common Stock in the market or the perception that such sales could occur. This could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of Common Stock.

Our stock traded below $1.00 for 30 consecutive days, which resulted in our receipt of a notice of delinquency from Nasdaq, which, in turn, may result in the delisting of the Common Stock from the Nasdaq.

On December 12, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that the Common Stock is subject to potential delisting from Nasdaq because, for a period of 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Common Stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing under the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Nasdaq notice indicated that, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company would be provided 180 calendar days, or until June 10, 2024, to regain compliance. If the Company were to fail to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement before June 10, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period. If the Company fails to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by June 10, 2024, we may be eligible for another compliance period depending on whether it then meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market. As at the date of this Prospectus, the Company does not meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market. Even if the Company somehow meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market in a timely manner and are therefore granted a compliance period or, if not, the Company will be forced to effect another reverse split in a timely manner, the effect of a future reverse stock split, if any, on the market price for the Common Stock cannot be accurately predicted. In particular, we cannot assure you that the prices for shares of the Common Stock after a future reverse stock split will increase proportionately to prices for shares of the Common Stock immediately before a reverse stock split. The market price of the Common Stock may also be affected by other factors which may be unrelated to a future reverse stock split or the number of shares outstanding.

Furthermore, even if the market price of the Common Stock does rise following a reverse stock split, we cannot assure you that the market price of the Common Stock immediately after a reverse stock split will be maintained for any period of time. Moreover, because some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively, we cannot assure you that a reverse stock split will not adversely impact the market price of the Common Stock. Accordingly, our total market capitalization after a reverse stock split may be lower than the market capitalization before a reverse stock split.

Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing.

Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized 300,000,000 shares that are not issued or reserved for issuance under convertible or exchangeable instruments. In addition, we may attempt to raise additional capital by selling shares, possibly at a deep discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Common Stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our stock may be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price may decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our Company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

If our shares of Common Stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more

USE OF PROCEEDS

All securities sold pursuant to this prospectus will be offered and sold by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock offered by the selling stockholders. However, upon the exercise of the December Warrants we would receive aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1,591,105. Any proceeds from the exercise of the December Warrants will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. We cannot predict when or if the December Warrants will be exercised, and it is possible that the December Warrants may expire and never be exercised or may be exercised pursuant to a cashless exercise. We will bear the out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the registration of the shares of Common Stock to be sold by the selling stockholders, including registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel, or collectively, the “Registration Expenses.” Other than Registration Expenses, the selling stockholders will bear underwriting discounts, commissions, placement agent fees or other similar expenses payable with respect to sales of shares.

On February 21, 2024, the Company and the Lenders and the Agent entered into the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement.

Pursuant to the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement, the Lenders and the Agent agreed to waive certain events of default with regard to certain covenants and obligations the Company had pursuant to (a) that certain registration rights agreement between the Company and the Lenders and the Agent entered into in September 2022, (b) the LSA (as modified), and (c) the Inducement Letter.

Pursuant to the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement, the Company and the Lenders and the Agent agreed to modify the Loan and Security Agreement such that the Note is now convertible into up to 9,991,674 shares of Common Stock based on the agreed to conversion price of $0.32. The Company believes that the $0.32 conversion price meets the definition of “Minimum Price” in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

Pursuant to the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement, the Company agreed that Slinger will, within ten (10) business days of the six month anniversary of the Effectiveness Date, pay in cash to the Lenders and the Agent the difference, if any, between (i) the Guaranteed Amount and (ii) the Realized Amount.

The Company and the Lenders and the Agent also agreed that if, due to a Force Majeure Event, the Lenders and the Agent has not fully converted the Note prior to the six-month anniversary of the Effectiveness Date, the Company will repurchase the Note and the October Warrants and December Warrants by paying in cash to the Lenders and the Agent the difference, if any, between the Guaranteed Amount and the Realized Amount.

Pursuant to the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement, the Company and the Lenders and the Agent agreed that once the Note is fully repaid (either via a combination of cash payments and conversions into shares of Common Stock or just via conversions into shares of Common Stock) all liens and security interests of the Lenders and the Agent in any and all of the property of the Company and the Guarantors (as defined in the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement) will be automatically released and terminated, including without limitation, any liens and security interests evidenced by Uniform Commercial Code financing statements.

Pursuant to the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement, the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-1 registering the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the conversion of the Note with the SEC within five (5) business days of February 21, 2024 and use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practical thereafter and, in any event, within thirty (30) calendar days of February 21, 2024.

Valuation of Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of the cost (determined principally on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. The Company’s valuation of inventory includes inventory reserves for inventory that will be sold below cost and the impact of inventory shrink. Inventory reserves are based on historical information and assumptions about future demand and inventory shrink trends. It is possible that changes to inventory reserve estimates could be required in future periods due to changes in market conditions.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue for its performance obligation associated with its contracts with customers at a point in time once products are shipped. Amounts collected from customers in advance of shipping products ordered are reflected as deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s standard terms are non-cancelable and do not provide for the right-of-return, other than for defective merchandise covered under the Company’s standard warranty. The Company has not historically experienced any significant returns or warranty issues.

Business Combinations

Upon acquisition of a company, we determine if the transaction is a business combination, which is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, once control is obtained of a business, the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, are recorded at fair value. We use our best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. One of the most significant estimates relates to the determination of the fair value of these assets and liabilities. The determination of the fair values is based on estimates and judgments made by management. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Measurement period adjustments are reflected at the time identified, up through the conclusion of the measurement period, which is the time at which all information for determination of the values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is received and is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. We may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.

Additionally, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances are initially recorded in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. We continue to collect information and reevaluate these estimates and assumptions periodically and record any adjustments to preliminary estimates to goodwill, provided we are within the measurement period. If outside of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statement of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value, which prioritizes the inputs used in the methodologies of measuring fair value for assets and liabilities, is as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3 — Unobservable pricing inputs in the market

Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their categorization within the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity. The Company’s derivative liabilities were calculated using Level 2 assumptions.

The Company’s contingent consideration in connection with the acquisition of Gameface and PlaySight were calculated using Level 3 inputs.

The Company estimates the fair value of its intangible assets using Level 3 assumptions, primarily based on the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized.

Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. If those net undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value or discounted expected cash flows of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. Long-lived assets and goodwill related to Gameface in the amount of $11,421,817 were fully impaired as of April 30, 2023, resulting in an impairment loss.

The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). ASC 350 requires that goodwill not be amortized, but reviewed for impairment if impairment indicators arise and, at a minimum, annually. The Company records goodwill as the excess purchase price over assets acquired and includes any work force acquired as goodwill. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis.

With the adoption of the ASU 2017-04, which eliminates the second step of the goodwill impairment test, the Company tests impairment of goodwill in one step. In this step, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit with goodwill to its carrying value. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units with goodwill using a combination of a discounted cash flow and a market value approach. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and the Company will not record an impairment charge.

Valuation of Warrants

The Company grants warrants to key employees and executives as compensation on a discretionary basis. The Company also grants warrants in connection with certain note payable agreements and other key arrangements. The Company is required to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the measurement date and recognize as expense that value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest over the requisite service period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, goodwill impairment will be tested by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The new guidance must be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 effective May 1, 2021. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which amends ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted.

The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The guidance replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credits, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. ASC 326 requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of a company’s portfolio. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities the Company does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell. The ASU can be adopted no later than January 1, 2020 for SEC filers and January 1, 2023 for private companies and smaller reporting companies. The Company has not yet adopted this ASU as it qualifies as a smaller reporting company. The Company does not expect this ASU will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities (Topic 805)”. The amendments in this Update address diversity and inconsistency related to the recognition and measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination. The amendments in this Update require that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The FASB has issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance that an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. The standard also provides guidance on how an entity should measure and recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended October 31, 2023 and 2022

The following are the results of our operations for the three months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to 2022:

Net sales

Net sales decreased $147,903, or 6%, during the three months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2022. The decrease was due to the inventory becoming depleted in 2023 due to higher than planned sales orders. Orders received but not invoiced in 2023 were $207,700. Had inventory been at our normal levels, sales would have been greater in this three month period.

Cost of sales and Gross income

Cost of sales decreased $507,826 or 24% during the three months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2022, which is primarily due to the reduction in net sales coupled with the reduction in container rates and shipping costs from Asia. Gross income increased $359,922, or 25%, during the three months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2022 due to the decrease in cost of sales resulting from reduced container rates, ocean freight and import duties.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses decreased $49,092, or 12%, during the three months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2022. This decrease is largely driven by a decrease in social media advertising, sponsorships, and other investments in our public relations presence, all based on lower cash flows being generated by lower net sales. In addition, Slinger Bag ambassador agreements came to an end contributing to the overall reduction in marketing expense.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses, which primarily consist of compensation (including share-based compensation) and other employee-related costs, as well as legal fees and fees for professional services, decreased $2,820,535 or 64% during the three months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2022. This decrease is primarily driven by a decrease in share-based compensation as well as in both headcount and legal costs related to the prior year acquisitions we had.

Research and development costs

Research and development costs decreased $14,980 or 100% during the three months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2022. This decrease is primarily driven by our need to pause all development activity in the period due to limited cash flow being available for investment.

Loss From Operations

Loss from operations improved $3,237,529 or 72% in the three months ended 31 October, 2023 as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2022. This improvement was driven by a combination of increased gross income $359,922 or 125% coupled with a reduction in total operating expenses of $2,877,607 or 60%.

Other expense

Total other expense decreased $7,644,391 during the three months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2022. We recorded a gain in fair value of derivatives of $14,800,253 compared to $3,100,102 in the same period in 2022. Excluding these gains during the periods to October 31,2023 and 2022, we had other expenses totaling $11,763,735 and $7,280,405) respectively. The increases in other expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to October 31, 2022 was a reduction in amortization of debt discounts and interest as well as an expense related to derivative liability.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended October 31, 2023 and 2022

The following are the results of our operations for the six months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to 2022:

Net sales

Net sales decreased $611,008, or 10%, during the six months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the six months ended October 31, 2022. The decrease was due to the inventory becoming depleted in 2023 due to higher than planned sales orders.

Cost of sales and Gross income

Cost of sales decreased $842,387 or 18% during the six months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the six months ended October 31, 2022, which is primarily due to the reduction in net sales. Gross income increased $231,379, or 18%, during the six months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the six months ended October 31, 2022 due to the cost of sales resulting from reduced container rates, ocean freight and import duties.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses decreased $556,562, or 50%, during the six months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the six months ended October 31, 2022. This decrease is largely driven by a decrease in social media advertising, sponsorships, and other investments in our public relations presence based on lower cash flows being generated by lower net sales. In addition, all Slinger Bag ambassador agreements came to an end contributing to a reduction in overall marketing expense.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses, which primarily consist of compensation (including share-based compensation) and other employee-related costs, as well as legal fees and fees for professional services, decreased $3,630,085 or 47% during the six months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the six months ended October 31, 2022. This decrease is primarily driven by a decrease in share-based compensation as well as in both headcount and legal costs related to the prior year acquisitions.

Research and development costs

Research and development costs decreased $34,405 or 100% during the six months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the six months ended October 31, 2022. This decrease is primarily driven by our need to pause all development activity in the period due to limited cash flow being available for investment.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations improved $4,452,431 or 59% in the six months ended 31 October 2023 as compared to the six months ended October 31, 2022. This improvement was driven by a combination of increased gross income $231,379 or 18% coupled with a reduction in total operating expenses of $4,221,052 or 59%.

Other expense

Total other expense decreased $8,089,441 or 200% during the six months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to the six months ended October 31, 2022. We recorded a gain in fair value of derivatives of $16,944,807 compared to $6,787,597 in the same period in 2022. Excluding these gains during the periods to October 31,2023 and 2022, we had other expenses totaling $12,900,390 and $10,832,621 respectively. The increases in these other expenses for the six months ended October 31, 2023 as compared to October 31, 2022 was a reduction in amortization of debt discounts, interest and interest paid to related parties offset by increased expenses in loss on conversion of accounts payable to common stock and derivative liability expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. We had an accumulated deficit of $150,835,256 as of October 31, 2023, and more losses are anticipated in the development of the business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating profitable operations in the future and/or being able to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from related parties, and/or private placement of debt and/or Common Stock. In respect to additional financing, refer to the consolidated financial statements herein. In the event that the Company is unable to successfully raise capital and/or generate revenues, the Company will likely reduce general and administrative expenses, and cease or delay its development plan until it is able to obtain sufficient financing. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

The following is a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022:

We had cash and cash equivalents of 285,861 as of October 31, 2023, as compared to $202,095 as of April 30, 2023.

Our net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended October 31, 2023 was primarily the result of our net income of $915,354 for the period, partially offset by our net non-cash expenses of ($3,553,747), incorporating the change in fair value of derivative liability, reductions in shares and warrants issued for services, share-based compensation, amortization of debt discounts, interest and interest due to related parties, settlement expense, loss on depreciation, amortization and impairment expenses, as well as changes in our current assets and liabilities related to our operations. The most notable changes occurred in in our accounts receivables. inventory and prepaid inventory significantly decreased in the six month periods, as well as a significant increase in other current liabilities and an increases in accounts payable related to our cash flow issues during the respective periods.

Our net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended October 31, 2022 was primarily the result of our net loss of $15,289,998 for the period and our net non-cash expenses of $4,026,866 as well as the changes in our operating current assets and liabilities.

We incurred no investing activities in either of the six-month periods ended October 31, 2023 and 2022.

We do not believe that inflation and changes in prices will have a material effect on our operations.

Going Concern

Our independent registered public accounting firm auditors’ report accompanying our April 30, 2023 financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended April 30, 2023 and 2022

The following are the results of our operations for the year ended April 30, 2023 as compared to April 30, 2022:

Net sales

Our net sales during the year ended April 30, 2023 were $9,922,799, compared to net sales of $16,102,672, in the same period to April 30, 2022, a reduction of -38%. Net sales consisted partially of shipped orders related to new orders placed and fulfilled to consumers via our online marketplace and to our international distributors. The significant decrease in our online consumer marketing of Slinger Bag, coupled with the general marketplace impact resulting from the increased consumer social mobility following the lifting of all covid -related restrictions contributed to the significant decrease in sales.

Cost of sales

Our cost of sales during the year ended April 30, 2023 were $7,144,335, compared to $11,878,010 for the period to April 30, 2022, a reduction of -40%. Cost of Sales represents the costs of units shipped during the period. This reduction in Cost of Sales is a direct result of the reduction in net sales. This resulted in a gross profit of $2,778,464, or 28.00%. compared to a gross profit of $4,224,622, or 26.24% for the period to April 30, 2022. The 4.28% in gross profit margin can be attributed to a combination of a reduction in transportation costs from Asia, compared to the same period in 2022, coupled with a small increase in average selling price of the Slinger Bag units.

Selling and marketing expenses

During the year ended April 30, 2023, we incurred selling and marketing expenses of $1,928,198 compared with $3,477,570 during the year ended April 30, 2022, a reduction of -45%. This decrease is largely driven by a decrease in social media advertising, sponsorships, and other investments in our public relations presence based on lower cash flows being generated by lower sales.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation, including share-based compensation, and other employee-related costs, as well as legal fees and fees for professional services. During the year ended April 30, 2023, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $22,743,877 compared with $46,718,986 during the year ended April 30, 2022, a reduction of -51%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is largely due to a reduction in our share based compensation that resulted in an expense of $31,727,091, and our impairment loss on the intangible assets and goodwill of Gameface of $11,421,817 in the year ended April 30, 2023.

Research and development costs

During the year ended April 30, 2023, we incurred research and development costs of $65,164 compared with $736,141 during the year ended April 30, 2022. This decrease is mainly driven by our need to pause all development activity in the period due to limited cash flow being available for investment.

Other expenses

During the year ended April 30, 2023, we recorded a gain on change in fair value of derivatives of $10,950,017, compared to $18,557,184 during the year ended April 30, 2022. $0 gain on change in fair value of contingent consideration and $4,847,000 was recorded during the years ended April 30, 2023 and 2022. Excluding the gains, during the years ended April 30, 2023 and 2022, we had other expenses totaling $14,269,067 and $23,222,124, respectively. The decrease in other expenses for the year ended April 30, 2023 as compared to April 30, 2022 was primarily due a reduction in amortization of discounts and losses incurred on extinguishment of our debt and convertible notes, a decrease in interest expense from 2022 to 2023 due to changes in our long-term debt, offset by increases in derivative expense and interest to related parties.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations incorporates the impact of the divestments of both PlaySight and Gameface during the period to April 30, 2023. Total loss from discontinued operations was $45,875,860 during the year ended April 30, 2023 compared to $5,247,677 in the year ended April 30, 2022.

The loss from discontinued operations was $4,461,968 during the period to April 30,2023 compared to $5,247,677 in the period to April 30, 2022.

The Company previously classified Foundation Sports in continuing operations, until December 5, 2022 when they sold 75% of Foundation Sports back to the original owners at which time it deconsolidated this subsidiary and recorded a loss on the sale. The Company also determined to dispose of the PlaySight entity during the year ended April 30, 2023. The Company completed the sale in November 2022 and recorded a loss on the sale at that time. The total loss on disposal of Foundation Sports and PlaySight amounted to $41,413,892 in the year ended April 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. We had an accumulated deficit of $151,750,610 as of April 30, 2023, and more losses are anticipated in the development of the business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating profitable operations in the future and/or being able to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from related parties, and/or private placement of debt and/or Common Stock.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

History of our Company

Lazex Inc. (“Lazex”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 12, 2015. On August 23, 2019, the majority owner of Lazex entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Slinger Bag Americas Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Slinger Bag Americas”), which was 100% owned by Slinger Bag Ltd. (“SBL”), an Israeli company. In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, Slinger Bag Americas acquired 2,000,000 shares of common stock of Lazex for $332,239. On September 16, 2019, SBL transferred its ownership of Slinger Bag Americas to Lazex in exchange for the 200,000 shares of Lazex acquired on August 23, 2019. As a result of these transactions, Lazex owned 100% of Slinger Bag Americas and the sole shareholder of SBL owned 200,000 shares of common stock (approximately 82%) of Lazex. Effective September 13, 2019, Lazex changed its name to Slinger Bag Inc.

On October 31, 2019, Slinger Bag Americas acquired control of Slinger Bag Canada, Inc., (“Slinger Bag Canada”) a Canadian company incorporated on November 3, 2017. There were no assets, liabilities or historical operational activity of Slinger Bag Canada.

On February 10, 2020, Slinger Bag Americas became the 100% owner of SBL, along with SBL’s wholly owned subsidiary Slinger Bag International (UK) Limited (“Slinger Bag UK”), which was formed on April 3, 2019. On February 10, 2021, Zehava Tepler, the owner of SBL, contributed Slinger Bag UK to Slinger Bag Americas for no consideration.

Effective February 25, 2020, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 75,000,000 to 300,000,000 via a four-to-one forward split of its outstanding shares of Common Stock.

On June 21, 2021, Slinger Bag Americas entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Charles Ruddy to acquire a 100% ownership stake in Foundation Sports.

On February 2, 2022, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Flixsense Pty, Ltd. (“Gameface”). As a result of the share purchase agreement, Gameface would become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On February 22, 2022, the Company entered into a merger agreement with PlaySight and Rohit Krishnan (the “Shareholders’ Representative”). As a result of the merger agreement, PlaySight would become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

During April 2022, the Company determined that the technology utilized in the Foundation Sports acquired entity would take substantially more financial resources and more time to bring to market and achieve profitability than originally anticipated. As a result, the goodwill and intangible assets related to Foundation Sports were fully impaired as of April 30, 2022, resulting in an impairment loss of $3,486,599. In addition, during April 2022 the Company decided to sell a portion of Foundation Sports. The Company continued to classify Foundation Sports in continuing operations, until December 5, 2022 when it sold 75% of Foundation Sports back to the original owners at which time it deconsolidated this subsidiary and recorded a loss on the sale. The Company also determined to dispose of the PlaySight entity during the year ended April 30, 2023. The Company completed the sale in November 2022 and recorded a loss on the sale at that time.

In April 2022, the Company changed its domicile from Nevada to Delaware. On April 7, 2022, the Company effected a name change to Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. We also changed our ticker symbol, “CNXA.” Connexa is now the holding company under which Slinger Bag and Gameface reside.

On June 14, 2022, the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, where the Common stock began to trade on a reverse split adjusted basis. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split and all such fractional interests were rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock. The Company also consummated a public offering of shares of the Common Stock and the listing of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

On November 17, 2022, Gabriel Goldman and Rohit Krishnan resigned from the board of directors of the Company. Gabriel and Rohit were members of the audit and compensation committees. Gabriel Goldman was a member of the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Neither Gabriel nor Rohit advised the Company of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

On November 27, 2022, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with PlaySight, Chen Shachar and Evgeni Khazanov (together, the “Buyer”) pursuant to which the Buyer purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of PlaySight from the Company in exchange for (1) releasing the Company from all of PlaySight’s obligations towards its vendors, employees, tax authorities and any other (past, current and future) creditors of PlaySight; (2) waiver by the Buyer of 100% of the personal consideration owed to them under their employment agreements in the total amount of $600,000 (which would have been increased in December 2022 to $800,000); and (3) cash consideration of $2 million to be paid to the Company as follows:

The Company has also released PlaySight from all of its obligations (except for those created by the Agreement) in respect of the Company, including any inter-company debts on the books, and the Buyer has released the Company from all of its obligations (except for those created by the Agreement) in respect of PlaySight and the Buyer.

The reason for the entry into the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby was to eliminate the need for the Company to provide further financing for PlaySight’s operations.

On December 5, 2022, the Company assigned 75% of its membership interest in Foundation Sports to Charles Ruddy, its founder and granted him the right for a period of three years to purchase the remaining 25% of its Foundation Sports membership interests for $500,000 in cash. As of December 5, 2022, the results of Foundation Sports will no longer be consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, and the investment was accounted for as an equity method investment. On December 5, 2022, the Company analyzed this investment and established a reserve for the investment at the full amount of $500,000. The Company intends to enter into a database access and marketing agreement with Foundation Sports pursuant to which Foundation Sports will (i) provide the Company with sporting or racquet facility information and contact data of its customers (subject to applicable law) and (ii) publish any promotional content, call to action, survey or similar promotional communications provided by the Company to Foundation Sport’s customers for its Customers to promote said material to their extended network of consumers in exchange for 7% of any gross revenue to be generated from such activities.

On March 7, 2023, Slinger Bag entered into an exclusive distribution agreement for Padel Tennis with a company located in Valencia, Spain called with Desarrollo y Promocion de Padel S.L. This agreement is contracted to deliver approximately $20 million in revenue over a 5-year period.

Delinquency Notices

On December 12, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that the Common Stock is subject to potential delisting from Nasdaq because, for a period of 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Common Stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing under the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Nasdaq notice indicated that, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company would be provided 180 calendar days, or until June 10, 2024, to regain compliance. If the Company were to fail to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement before June 10, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to satisfy the Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and maintain compliance with other Nasdaq listing requirements.

Operations

The Company operates in the sports equipment and technology business. The Company is the owner of the Slinger Launcher, which is comprised of a portable tennis ball launcher, a portable padel tennis ball launcher and a portable pickleball launcher and Gameface, providing AI technology and performance analytics.

From inception to date, we have been focused on the ball sport market globally. Our first product, the Slinger Bag Launcher, is a patented, highly portable, versatile and affordable ball launcher built into an easy to transport wheeled trolley bag.

Tennis ball machines have been around since the 1950’s when Rene Lacoste introduced them. Improvements to performance were made in the 1970’s when Prince started its tennis business on the back of its first product – Little Prince – which was a vacuum operated ball machine. In the 1990’s the first battery operated machines came to the market and since that time very little, if anything, has changed in the structure of ball machines products outside of added computerization. Typically, the machines being marketed by traditional ball machine brands are large, cumbersome and awkward to operate. They are also generally expensive – often well above $1,000 compared to the entry price of $500 for a Slinger Bag Launcher. We believe that up until the introduction of the Slinger Bag Launcher, the majority of traditional tennis ball machines were sold to tennis facilities, institutions and tennis teachers, with only a few being sold directly to tennis playing consumers.

Pursuant to the Waiver, Amendment, and Modification Agreement, the Company agreed that Slinger Bag Americas Inc., a Delaware subsidiary of the Company (“Slinger”) will, within ten (10) business days of the six month anniversary of the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 registering the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the conversion of the Note (the “Effectiveness Date”), pay in cash to the Lenders and the Agent the difference, if any, between (i) $6 million (the “Guaranteed Amount”) and (ii) the combined gross proceeds realized by the Lenders and the Agent from its sale of the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to (a) conversions of the Note and (b) exercises of the October Warrants and December Warrants(the “Realized Amount”).

Industry Overview

Over the next five years, we believe that there will be a significant increase in demand from sports consumers for AI (artificial intelligence) technology that will play an integral role in supporting their enjoyment of their chosen sport through personalized insights and analytics and associated self-coaching tools.

Over the course of the next twelve months, we will be focused on reaching the global tennis, padel tennis and pickleball communities as our primary target markets. The ITF cites the global tennis market as having 80 million active participants, with many million other consumers being acknowledged as avid fans of the sport. Pickleball is now widely recognized as the fastest growing sport in the United States with over 5 million regular players and Padel Tennis is also seeing significant participant growth throughout Europe and South America primarily. Currently it is estimated that there are up to as many as 10 million padel players globally. In addition, we will also be looking to introduce to the tennis market an upgraded Tennis Launcher towards the late spring of 2024 and we aim to be in a final test phase of our Baseball / Softball Launcher consumer testing by summer 2024, as we see this market as a significant future growth opportunity.

Manufacturing and Distribution

Production of the Slinger Bag Launcher is based in southern China. We are engaged with 10 individual part suppliers, and all of these parts come together at our contracted assembly facility in Xiamen, China, where the Launchers are assembled and quality control checked before being processed for global distribution.

Our manufacturing capacity is estimated at approximately 5,000 units monthly. This capacity will be shared across our three Slinger Bag Launcher products– tennis, pickleball, and padel. The pickleball product was introduced to the market in March 2023 and was followed by Padel Tennis in June 2023.

In developing our Slinger Bag tennis, pickleball and padel launchers, we have designed the three products that share many common parts. We expect this to aid the efficiency of the production process.

We have engaged an independent and experienced vendor management company to manage all of our production activities, our quality control process and quality assurance activities, both across our individual vendor partners and at the assembly facility. These processes have been developed together with the Company with a goal of producing consistently high-quality and high performing products.

We have created a global distribution network, and all shipments of our products made to distributor markets outside of the United States and Canada are shipped free-on-board (“FOB”) from Xiamen, China, at which point they enter into the ownership of the distributors and become their responsibility. South American distributors are sometimes serviced from our US warehouse locations and European distributors continue to be able to place replacement orders through a small third-party distribution facility located in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Additionally, we ship our Slinger-Dunlop co-branded tennis balls produced by Dunlop (the largest global supplier of tennis balls) to the United States to be sold via our e-commerce platform or directly from source to our distributor network for further distribution around the world.

Gameface is a software-as-a-service company and, as such, has no direct procurement or supply chain requirements.

Strategy

Slinger Bag Launchers for tennis, pickleball and padel

In introducing the Slinger Bag Launcher, we saw an opportunity to disrupt the traditional tennis market. Through March 2023 Slinger Bag has been a single product company marketing its Tennis Launcher for tennis players of all ages and abilities. Currently, approximately 70% of Slinger Bag Tennis Launcher revenues are generated through our direct-to-consumer strategy in North America. We operate a third-party distributor structure in all markets outside of North America. Distributor partners have exclusive territories and / or product categories. We endeavor to partner with distributors who have a recognized background within the tennis, pickleball or padel industries for their respective market, along with them having the requisite financial capacity and service infrastructure to grow the Slinger Bag brand through a similar go-to-market strategy as is operated directly by the Slinger Bag business in North America. All distributors purchase Slinger Bag Launchers at a discounted distributor pricing structure, which is considerably lower than the US consumer price, and are responsible for placing their product orders up to 3 months in advance of their delivery requirement. As part of this distributor program, in April 2023 we appointed a global distribution partner for Padel Tennis - Desarrollo y Promocion de Padel S.L., a division of Manza Sport based in Valencia, Spain – a company that has over 20 years of experience in the global Padel market as a leading supplier of Padel courts.

The United States market will remain predominantly a direct-to-consumer market for Slinger Bag for all sport verticals.

As the largest tennis and pickleball market in the world with 17.4 million tennis players and over 5 million pickleball players, the United States is a key market both to establish the Slinger brand and to drive demonstrable growth. Direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales are further supplemented by one or more third-party internet sites focused on either the tennis or the pickleball market. The Unites States market is served by third-party logistics facilities in Hagerstown, PA and Reno, Nevada, which are operated by our third party logistics partner, 1-Click Logistics. All end consumer service support is currently managed by a small service team based in Canada. All distributor partners are managed and supported by our distributor manager located in Israel.

Gameface

Gameface will provide the consumer with access to analytics data through a sport specific automated AI platform that analyzes and extracts data from uploaded consumer or team videos. Gameface has successfully launched this technology previously in Cricket in Australia and is working to introduce to the market a unique application for Tennis. Once tested and established in Tennis, this technology can easily be adapted for other racquet sports, baseball, cricket, golf and other sports verticals. Gameface’s core capabilities are delivered through a compatible single camera or smart phone, which allows us to build scalable solutions for the sports market without relying on specific hardware or camera types.

We envision Gameface as a product and technology that will be at the heart of ‘powering’ the Connexa portfolio of brands. We also see Gameface technology as a driver of real-time data and analytics for Connexa’s core sport focus – across all racquet sports, baseball and cricket – coupled with partnerships with external brands and other strategic partners for its applications for all other sports, outside of these core categories.

Gameface initially focused its technology on the cricket and soccer markets, where it has built an automated platform to extract various data points from live and archived match footage. The Gameface team has been dedicated to building its technology to deliver performance insights in tennis, which will form the core of our new Slinger app, which is planned to be launched in late 2023. After launching the tennis app, Gameface plans to revisit the cricket vertical and enhance its technology offering based on the advances made in its tennis AI, which will broaden and deepen its reach across the cricket world. In 2024 and going forward, Gameface expects to dedicate resources to baseball analytics and identifying strategic partners for other high-profile team sports such as basketball and soccer. We also intend to license technology to validated global partners in sports verticals that remain non-core to Connexa with the aim to become the recognized leader in sports AI globally.

Connexa Brand Marketing

With the go-to-market strategy for Slinger Bag focused on its core North American tennis and pickleball markets as a direct-to-consumer business e-commerce brand, all in-house marketing activity and advertising media is centered around a consumer push to the Slinger Bag e-commerce platform at https://www.slingerbag.com/ and then working to convert brand or product interest to purchases. Based on the target tennis and pickleball demographic, our marketing focus centers around three core marketing pillars: digital advertising; influencers and brand ambassadors. Our marketing efforts also focus on core targeted social media platforms such as Facebook, Google, Instagram and You Tube.

Using demographic data for tennis and pickleball and following a period of advertising testing, our digital advertising spend is focused mainly towards Facebook and Google platforms.

In addition to our paid marketing activities, Slinger Bag relies on the expertise of our small internal team to build out a network of ‘followers’ across various social media platforms – mainly Instagram, Facebook, You Tube and LinkedIn. Slinger Bag has significant numbers of its consumers who are avid fans of our brand and fully engaged in generating Slinger Bag related social media content through their own means.

Since inception, Slinger Bag has built up a base of in excess of 60,000 users of Slinger Bag. Through our acquisition and retained interest in Foundation Sports we have access to Foundation’s database of over 500,000 avid tennis players. We use email marketing to engage with this groups a few times per annum in order to generate additional sales interest. Ultimately, this group will also form the core target consumer market for our upcoming launch of the Slinger Tennis App.

The Slinger Bag brand ambassador team has also been integral to the overall brand marketing strategy through their support of our product and by creating and sharing their user content, representing themselves as affiliated with the brand and through their personal appearances at events, tournaments, etc. During the fiscal year that ended on April 30, 2022, our ambassador team included: Tommy Hass, Robert Bryan, Darren Cahill, Eugenie Bouchard, Patrick Mouratoglou, Dustin Brown and the Jensen brothers. All ambassador arrangements terminated prior to November 24, 2023, which means that we no longer have any active tennis ambassadors as we work to negotiate new arrangements with a core team for the future.

Similar prominent ambassadors are being identified for both pickleball in the United States of America and by our exclusive padel distributor for the global padel market and are expected to be in place and active over the coming months.

Outside of our core marketing strategy, Slinger Bag has taken advantage of numerous opportunities to partner with key brands in the tennis and pickleball spaces and/or to advertise at key tennis or pickleball related events.

Additionally, through our management team’s close association to the tennis industry, we have been able to provide many touring professionals with a Slinger Bag Launcher for their personal use. These arrangements were non-contractual product seeding opportunities. Players have occasionally posted on social media about their use of the Slinger Bag Launcher, which, based on their significant social media followings, have supported the growth of the Slinger Bag brand awareness.

To support the Slinger Bag marketing program, we have engaged the following agencies:

Each distributor is also conducting its own Slinger brand marketing program. All efforts in this regard are aimed at reaching the avid tennis player directly and are focused on ensuring that the Slinger Bag brand message is consistent around the globe. Slinger Bag supports all of its brand distributors with full access to all of the company’s marketing partners and brand assets, as well as with direct contact to our internal marketing team.

Our marketing budget is primarily funded by, or determined in accordance with, the distributor partner and is linked to the distributors annual purchase objectives. Each distributor executes local grassroots programs, including demonstration days, local teaching pro partnerships, specialist tennis network communications, providing Slinger Bag product locally as necessary to the local market key influencers across tennis, pickleball and padel to further increase the intensity of the influencer effort and broaden consumer awareness. Typically, we support these activities with either discounted products or certain quantities of free products. Distributor marketing budgets are allocated to Google, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and other relevant websites or platforms in their region, and several are supported, approved and /or overseen by AdVenture Media Group where applicable.

Brand Endorsements

In 2021 we reached agreements with several globally recognized tennis players and coaches to become brand ambassadors, but those agreements terminated in the first two calendar quarters of 2023.

We are now in the process of re-evaluating this program and of potentially either renewing a select core group or identifying new ambassadors for our tennis activities and for relevant ambassadors to support our Pickleball and Padel category activities.

We have also engaged with the following organizations to promote our Slinger brand and products.

Peter Burwash International (“PBI”), a United States-based, highly respected, global tennis services company set up by Peter Burwash some 35 years ago. PBI provides tennis programs and other tennis services to over 28 of the global luxury resorts. Slinger Bag Launchers are available to use at each resort and the PBI team will be actively promoting the Slinger brand as part of our affiliate marketing activity.

The Dink – a leading Pickleball platform with 250,000 active pickleball players on their database.

Strategic Brand Partnerships

Slinger Bag believes that building strong strategic partnerships across the sport of tennis underpins the credibility and awareness of the Slinger Bag brand. As such, we currently have several strategic partnerships across tennis. We believe these partnerships provide us significant levels of brand exposure and credibility driving mutually beneficial marketing campaigns aimed at reaching avid tennis players globally.

Details of such partners announced and active include:

In a similar vein, we are looking to deliver partnerships for the co-branded supply of Pickle Balls and Padel Tennis Balls.

Competition

There are currently no direct competitors with products that are similar to the Slinger Bag Launcher, based on its affordability and tennis bag functionality. There are, however, other companies that market traditional tennis ball machines, including the following brands:

Gameface

There are currently no competitors for our cricket and tennis AI analytics product that are similar to the cricket technique analysis app or the Slinger app (currently in beta testing), based on functionality and affordability.

Gameface

Gameface is currently working to prepare AI-related patent applications, which are expected to include the United States, EU, China, Japan, India and Australia.

Seasonal Business

We expect to experience minor fluctuations in aggregate sales volume during the year. We expect revenues in the first and fourth fiscal quarters to typically exceed those in the second and third fiscal quarters. However, the mix of product sales across our group may vary considerably from time to time as a result of changes in seasonal and geographic demand for tennis and other sports equipment and in connection with the timing of significant sporting events, such as any Grand Slam tennis tournament and, over time, other sports competitions and in relation to new product market launches.

Costs and Effects of Complying with Environmental Regulations

Set forth below is a detailed chart of all our Product Certifications for key global markets covering battery, remote control (radio wave), and power charger. In addition, within the United States, we comply with the required California 65 regulations in respect to the materials used in the construction of its trolley bag.

Government Regulation

Both the Slinger Bag Launcher and the Slinger Oscillator meet all the United States government requirements for electrical, radio wave and battery standards, as well as having all necessary and required certifications to facilitate global marketing and sales of these products.

Research and Development

Slinger Bag

Slinger Bag continues to work with our vendor management partner, Stride Innovation, and our China based vendors to produce ball launchers for new market segments, such as Pickleball, Padel and Baseball/Softball. These efforts are collaborative and based on a detailed product brief and in-depth market and consumer research for each product category. The development timetable of the Slinger Bag Launcher for the new market segments from concept to market launch is approximately 18 months and includes at least 2 rounds or in-market field testing.

We introduced ball launchers for Pickleball and Padel in the Spring of 2023 and are currently field testing our new Baseball / Softball launchers, which are expected to be introduced to the market in 2024. We plan to introduce similar transportable, versatile and affordable ball launchers for cricket and other ball sports over the course of the next three years.

In regard to development of our pending performance and analytics app, the development team of Gameface is working to create a Tennis specific analysis code for the app. We have also contracted with a design agency to build the road map for the user experience based on the technology being developed.

Gameface

Gameface is involved in additional research and development of building methods to extract data reliably and more accurately from videos. A large part of our research also includes identifying and associating extracted data points of athlete performance. Gameface is currently field testing its new data visualization techniques to represent data in tennis and cricket, which are expected to be introduced late in 2023.

Quality Control

Quality control is a critical function within our company.

As a relatively new brand in the market, our business enterprise success will in part dependent on the quality and consistency of our products.

In partnership, together, we have created and documented quality guidelines, testing procedures and warranty processes.

We offer a limited warranty with all purchases in accordance with local market statutory regulations.

COVID-19 Supply Issues

Slinger Bag is a business fully reliant on China based vendors for manufacture of its product. Throughout the course of 2022 the flow of production was occasionally affected as the China government implemented regional lockdowns. As a company in the late part of 2021 we had anticipated potential issues and made a conscious decision to over produce product to store at our warehouse locations to mitigate any enforced production shutdowns. Over the course of 2022 and through the date of this report we have not experienced any significant supply chain issues in the availability of our product.

Gameface is primarily a software based company. As a result of the nature of its business, in the time that that we owned Gameface we have not seen any material impact on its business because of any Covid related issues.

Ukraine and Israel-Hamas Wars

The impact of the Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars has been limited on the Company with the direct impact being seen through those distributors bordering the war zone who have seen a significant decline in demand.

The wars have not had a known direct impact on Gameface to date.

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes we will be able to realize our assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. We have an accumulated deficit and more losses are anticipated in the ongoing development of the business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon us generating profitable operations in the future and/or being able to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from related parties, and/or private placement of debt and/or Common Stock.

There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force us to curtail substantially or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

In the Company’s fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2023, the Company divested PlaySight and 75% of its interest in Foundation Sports as the required monthly cash burn became increasingly difficult to manage as inflation rose and the cost of manufacturing the Company’s non-technological products grew. As a result, the Company sold PlaySight back to its original owners of in November 2022, and the Company sold most (75%) of Foundation Tennis back to their original owners, with an option to purchase any remaining interests. The Company believes these divestitures will bring about greater cash flow and result in a reduction in net loss from operations.

We intend to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the commencement of revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. We anticipate raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however, we may not have commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. We cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and its failure to raise capital when needed could limit its ability to continue its operations. Our ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms would have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require it to curtail or cease operations, sell off its assets, seek protection from its creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of shares of Common Stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary, to raise additional funds, and may require that we relinquish valuable rights.

Legal Proceedings

On February 8, 2023, Oasis Capital, LLC (“Oasis”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking damages (i) in the amount of $764,647.53 in for an alleged breach of the terms of the 8% senior convertible note and the securities purchase agreement entered into between Oasis and the Company in connection with a promissory note (as defined below), which in December 2021 was increased to $600,000 in principal amount and (ii) an unspecified amount of damage for an alleged breach of the exclusivity provisions of a term sheet that the Company and Oasis entered into on July 7, 2022 plus an actual damages in an amount to be proven at trial, interest and costs, reasonable attorney’s fees and such other legal and equitable relief as the court deems just and proper. On June 30, 2023, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted the Company’s motion to dismiss this complaint but with leave to amended complaint. On July 31, Oasis filed an amended complaint against the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, Mike Ballardie, seeking damages in an amount to be proven at trial, interest and costs for breach of fiduciary duty and violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. On December 5, 2023, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York denied the Company’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction without prejudice to renewable and upon a further evidentiary showing and granted in part and reserved in part the Company’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted with leave to amend. The Company believes the claims made in the amended complaint are without merit and the Company and Mike Ballardie are vigorously defending itself.

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

Our board of directors intends to adopt a written related person policy to set forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related person transactions. This policy will cover any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we are to be a participant, the amount involved exceeds $100,000 and a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and employment by us of a related person.

Director Independence

Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our board of directors has determined that Kirk Taylor, Steven Crummey and Rodney Rapson, do not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq. In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information, as of February 23, 2024, with respect to any person (including any “group”, as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of any class of our voting securities, and as to those shares of our equity securities beneficially owned by each of our directors and executive officers and all of our directors and executive officers as a group. Unless otherwise specified in the table below, such information, other than information with respect to our directors and executive officers, is based on a review of statements filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13 (d), 13 (f), and 13 (g) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Common Stock.

Information relating to beneficial ownership of the Common Stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within sixty (60) days after February 23, 2024, through the exercise of any stock option, warrant or other right. Such securities are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such security but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. The inclusion herein of any shares deemed beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership of those shares. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.

Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans.

The table below provides information regarding all compensation plans as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year (including individual compensation arrangements) under which equity securities of the registrant are authorized for issuance.

On November 11, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Slinger Bag Inc. Global Share Incentive Plan (2020), or the 2020 Plan, which was approved by stockholders holding in the aggregate 19,994,700 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 75.4% of the Common Stock outstanding on such date. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of awards which are incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”), unrestricted stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock and other equity-based and cash awards or any combination of the foregoing, to eligible key management employees, non-employee directors, and non-employee consultants of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each a “participant”) (however, solely employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible for incentive stock option awards).

The Company has reserved a total of 37,500 shares of Common Stock for issuance under awards to be made under the 2020 Plan, all of which may, but need not, be issued in connection with ISOs. As of November 24, 2023, there were 27,000 shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards and approximately 10,500 shares of Common Stock remain available under the 2020 Plan for future awards. To the extent that an award lapses, expires, is canceled, is terminated unexercised or ceases to be exercisable for any reason, or the rights of its holder terminate, any shares subject to such award shall again be available for the grant of a new award. The 2020 Plan shall continue in effect, unless sooner terminated, until the tenth anniversary of the date on which it was adopted by the Board of Directors (except as to awards outstanding on that date). The Board of Directors in its discretion may terminate the 2020 Plan at any time with respect to any shares for which awards have not theretofore been granted; provided, however, that the 2020 Plan’s termination shall not materially and adversely impair the rights of a holder, without the consent of the holder, with respect to any award previously granted.

Future new hires, non-employee directors and additional non-employee consultants are eligible to participate in the 2020 Plan as well. The number of awards to be granted to officers, non-employee directors, employees and non-employee consultants cannot be determined at this time as the grant of awards is dependent upon various factors such as hiring requirements and job performance.
