Continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2023

For the three-month period ended December 31, 2023, we estimate that our revenue and gross loss will increase by approximately $0.2 million and $2 million, respectively, from the three-month period ended December 31, 2022. The revenue and increased cost of revenue is primarily attributable to the RiskOn 360 conference held during the three-month period. We do not expect to have BitNile.com metaverse, hospitality or GuyCare revenues or cost of sales during the three-month periods ended December 31, 2023 or 2022.

For the three-month period, we expect our operating loss to increase by approximately $7 million, from $1 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022. The increase is due to increases in advertising expenses and platform fees of approximately $5 million and $1 million, respectively.

We estimate our loss from continuing operations for the three-month period is approximately $11 million, compared to income from continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022 of $5 million. The change of approximately $16 million is primarily due to the increase of our operating loss of approximately $7 million coupled with the decreased gain on the remeasurement of fair value for the derivative liabilities of approximately $5 million, amortization of original issuance and derivative discounts expense of approximately $2 million and dividend expenses of approximately $2 million.

Continuing operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023

For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, we estimate an increase in both revenue and gross loss primarily due to the BitNile.com metaverse and hospitality and the RiskOn 360 conference initial sales during the period and the related cost of sales. We do not expect to have any GuyCare revenues or cost of sales during the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2023 or 2022.

For the nine-month period, our operating loss is estimated to increase by approximately $25 million, from $4 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to increases in sponsorship and advertising expenses, platform fees, cost of sales, travel expenses and increased headcount and the related salaries of approximately $17 million, $3 million, $2 million, $2 million, $1 million, respectively.

We expect to report a loss from continuing operations for the nine-month period of approximately $14 million, compared to income from continuing operations for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2022 of $5 million. The change of approximately $19 million is due to the increase of our operating loss of approximately $25 million coupled with the increased dividend expense of approximately $5 million and amortization of discounts of approximately $4 million, partially offset with the increased gain on the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of approximately $15 million.
