Overview

The NFT Gaming Company is developing a digital gaming platform (“Platform”) that will offer our proprietary games as well as games developed and published by third parties. Our vision is to develop, design, acquire, and manage conventional digital games and to combine them with novel methods, such as the ability to create and mint unique in-game features, such as skins, characters, weapons, gear, in the form of non-fungible tokens, or “NFTs,” that will allow users to have unique experiences and more control over in-game assets.

We plan to initially launch our own proprietary games that are simple and fun to play, and that offer gamers the ability to mint their own affordable NFTs within the Platform, with unique and exclusive features, that can be utilized across the network of games and Platform that we plan to build.

Non-Fungible Tokens

A non-fungible token, or NFT, is a digital, cryptographic token on the blockchain that certifies a unique asset. When someone “mints” an NFT, they create a file that lives on a blockchain that cannot be edited or deleted. Because the file exists on a blockchain, it can be viewed publicly, meaning the item’s provenance is public and verifiable. While NFTs have been generally built on the Ethereum blockchain, recently other blockchains, such as Polygon, have also emerged as a building block for NFTs, some of which offer lower-cost network fees and faster transaction processing speeds. Our NFTs will be launched on the Polygon network, which is an Ethereum compatible blockchain building platform (i.e. Polygon’s parent chain is Ethereum) that provides a secure and lower-cost alternative to Ethereum’s escalating gas fees and wait times without sacrificing the security granted by the Ethereum blockchain.

NFTs are digital assets that can represent a unique real-world asset, such as art, music, in-game items, or videos. NFTs are most-commonly powered by smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform that establishes a peer-to-peer network that securely executes and verifies application code, called smart contracts. “Smart contracts” is a term used to describe computer code that automatically executes all or parts of an agreement and is stored on a blockchain-based platform. In the case of in-game NFTs, these NFTs generally can be images, skins, virtual real estate, pets, or other items that can be owned and held in a digital wallet. A digital wallet (or e-wallet) is a software-based system that securely stores users’ payment information and passwords for numerous payment methods and websites. Currently, NFTs are being used to sell a wide range of virtual collectibles, including:

• virtual sports trading cards and video clips;

• music and album cover art;

• art, memes, or other digital images;

• in-game assets; and

• virtual real estate, fashion, and other real-world representations in the metaverse, a virtual-reality space in which users can interact with a computer-generated environment and other users.

Table of Contents

Our goal is to develop a robust digital gaming platform, to be named “Gaxos,” that brings together gamers, developers, and publishers, and which incorporates and offers them the ability to augment their games and gaming experiences with unique and exclusive features, as well as the opportunity to earn rewards and participate in other opportunities. The Platform is intended to include a wide variety of games that span various genres, including role-playing (RPG/ARPG), sports, simulation, puzzles, action-adventures, shooters (FPS/TPS), battle arena-fighting, and other skill-based games.

We believe that the ability to mint and use NFTs in-game that are distinguishable and tamper-proof offers gamers more power over their asset and the ability to have an augmented and exciting gaming experiences.

Polygon Network (MATIC)

Similar to Ethereum, Polygon is a decentralized blockchain with smart contract functionality. Ethereum is a “Layer 1” blockchain that has higher gas fees that are used to power transactions. These fees tend to be significantly higher than Polygon. Polygon is a “Layer 2” scaling solution to Ethereum built on top of Ethereum that uses a proof-of-stake sidechain to process transactions and therefore reduces purchase and transfer transaction gas fees.

The Polygon network uses MATIC tokens for governance and security. Validators or operators that ensure security and validate blocks on the Polygon network receive network fees in the form of MATIC tokens. MATIC tokens allow developers to connect their Ethereum compatible smart contracts in Polygon. Polygon is often chosen by developers for its speed and lower transaction costs while maintaining full compatibility with Ethereum, enabling developers to move their code freely between the two blockchains.

The current median gas price on the Polygon network as of April 29, 2022 is less than $0.01 as compared to $2.03 on the Ethereum network. We do not currently anticipate any material changes in gas prices on the Polygon network that would affect our business model. In general, if gas prices become too high, demand for transaction processing on the network will decrease and thereby reduce the demand for our NFTs. Reduced demand resulting from fees that are too high will have a material adverse effect on our business, however, if we had chosen to work primarily off of Ethereum instead of Polygon the adverse impact would be significantly higher due to Ethereum’s higher transaction fees.

Our Corporate Information

We were originally incorporated in the State of Wyoming on October 27, 2021 (“NFT Wyoming’). On March 29, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, subject to shareholder approval, a Plan of Conversion, pursuant to which the Company converted from a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming to a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”), and such approval included the adoption of the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Delaware Certificate”) and the Bylaws (the “Delaware Bylaws”) for the Company under the laws of the State of Delaware, under the name, “The NFT Gaming Company, Inc.,” to become effective with the effectiveness of the Reincorporation. On March 29, 2022, we received majority shareholder approval. On March 30, 2022, we completed the Reincorporation by filing the Delaware Certificate with the State of Delaware.

Our principal executive offices are located at 101 Eisenhower Parkway, Suite 300, Roseland, New Jersey 07068, and our telephone number is (973) 275-7428. Our website address is https://www.nftgco.com. The information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and you should not consider any information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website as part of this prospectus or in deciding whether to purchase our Common Stock.

Private Placement Offering

In December 2021, we completed a private placement offering in which we sold 3,199,798 shares of our Common Stock to accredited investors for aggregate proceeds of $2,118,200.

Reverse Stock Split

On November 4, 2022, we filed a certificate of change to our certificate of incorporation, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effectuate a one-for-one and thirty-three hundredths (1:1.33) Reverse Stock Split of our Common Stock without any change to its par value. The Reverse Stock Split became effective upon such filing. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split as all fractional shares were rounded up to the next whole share. All share and per share amounts of our common stock listed in this prospectus have been adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards as permitted by The JOBS Act.

To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including: (i) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act; (ii) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (iii) the requirement to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years.

RISK FACTORS

Any investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this prospectus before deciding whether to purchase our Common Stock. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by these risks if any of them actually occur. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks we face as described below and elsewhere in this prospectus. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We have a limited operating history and, therefore, cannot accurately project our revenues and operating expenses.

We are a newly formed company. Because we have a limited history, it is difficult to evaluate our proposed business and future prospects, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. For example, we intend to launch our Platform. There is no guarantee that the Platform will be launched or that expenditures will result in profit or growth of our business. Our limited operating experience, combined with the rapidly evolving nature of the NFT market in which we intend to operate, substantial uncertainty concerning how this market may develop, and other economic factors beyond our control reduce our ability to accurately forecast quarterly or annual revenue. Failure to manage our current and future growth effectively could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Our business should be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties that we have encountered to date and will continue to encounter.

We have not developed a strong customer base, and we have not generated sustainable revenue since inception. We cannot assure you that we ever will. We will incur significant losses in launching products and we may not realize sufficient subscriptions or profits in order to sustain our business.

We have not yet developed a strong customer base and we have not generated sustainable revenue since inception. We are subject to the substantial risk of failure facing businesses seeking to develop and commercialize new products and technologies. Maintaining and improving our platform will require significant capital. We will also incur substantial accounting, legal, and other overhead costs as a public company. If our offerings to customers are unsuccessful, result in insufficient revenue, or result in us not being able to sustain revenue, we will be forced to reduce expenses, which may result in an inability to gain new customers.

We may encounter numerous difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of operations.

We have a limited operating history upon which any investor may evaluate our current business and future prospects. Any potential investor must consider the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies. Historically, there has been a high failure rate among early-stage companies. Our future performance will depend upon a number of factors, including our ability to:

• implement our growth strategy;

• aggressively counter and respond to actions by our competitors;

• pursue new users and maintain relationship with current users;

• maintain adequate control of our expenses;

• attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel;

• react to user preferences and demands;

• our ability to successfully implement, launch, and achieve market acceptance of our NFT products and to anticipate and manage the risks associated therewith; and

• regulatory compliance.

Table of Contents

We cannot assure investors that we will successfully address any of these factors, and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects.

We may be unable to manage our growth or implement our expansion strategy.

We may not be able to develop our product or implement the other features of our business strategy at the rate or to the extent presently planned. Our projected growth will place a significant strain on our administrative, operational, and financial resources. If we are unable to successfully manage our future growth, establish and continue to upgrade our operating and financial control systems, recruit and hire necessary personnel, or effectively manage unexpected expansion difficulties, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We will need additional debt or equity financing in the future.

While we expect to be able to generate operating revenues from the sale of our video digital products, our operating revenues will not be sufficient to finance our operations including our marketing efforts. Accordingly, we will need to obtain additional financing to operate and fully implement our business plan and aggressive growth strategy. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to us or, if available, that such financing will be on terms acceptable to us. If we obtain additional financing through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, it may be significantly dilutive to our shareholders and such additional equity or convertible debt securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of our Common Stock. In addition, our ability to issue debt securities or to service any debt may also be limited by our inability to generate consistent cash flow. If additional financing is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to fund our on-going operations or any future expansion of our business, develop or enhance our products or services, or respond effectively to competitive pressures. The inability to raise additional capital in the future may force us to curtail future business opportunities or cease operations entirely.

If we are unable to obtain additional funding when needed, our business operations will be harmed, and if we do obtain additional financing, our then-existing shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.

As we take steps in the commercialization and marketing of our technologies, or respond to potential opportunities and/or adverse events, our working capital needs may change. We anticipate that if our cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we will require additional funding to sustain our ongoing operations and to continue our research and development activities. We do not have any contracts or commitments for additional funding, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all, if needed. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing to finance a revised growth plan, we will likely be required to curtail such plans or cease our business operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.

We are dependent on the services of certain key management personnel, employees, and advisors. If we are unable to retain or motivate such individuals or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.

We depend on the services of a number of key management personnel, employees, and advisors and our future performance will largely depend on the talents and efforts of such individuals. We do not currently maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our employees. The loss of one or more of such key individuals, or failure to find a suitable successor, could hamper our efforts to successfully operate our business and achieve our business objectives. Our future success will also depend on our ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate, and retain highly skilled personnel. Competition in our industry for qualified employees is intense, and our compensation arrangements may not always be successful in attracting new employees and/or retaining and motivating our existing employees. Future acquisitions by us may also cause uncertainty among our current employees and employees of the acquired entity, which could lead to the departure of key individuals. Such departures could have an adverse impact on the anticipated benefits of an acquisition.

We may continue to incur substantial losses and negative operating cash flows and may not achieve or maintain positive cash flow or profitability in the future.

We have incurred significant losses and negative operating cash flow from inception and may continue to incur significant losses and negative operating cash flow into the future. In order to reach our business growth objectives, we expect to incur significant sales, marketing, software development and other operating costs, including costs associated

with the expansion of our personnel. As a result, we will need to generate and grow our revenues significantly to achieve positive cash flow and profitability. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in generating and increasing our revenues or that we can achieve or maintain positive cash flow or profitability. The uncertainties regarding the commencement of adequate commercial revenues raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our Platform is currently under development and no assurance can be given that our Platform will be accepted by others or generate sufficient interest.

Our proposed Platform is currently under development. It is our intent that the Platform will (i) support our owned- and-operated games; (ii) provide third-party game creators and publishers with the ability to integrate our NFT infrastructure; and (iii) create a unified environment where all the games and users on the Platform can participate in promotions, opportunities, and various experiences. Failure to develop a robust gaming platform will adversely affect our business objectives.

Our business will be intensely competitive. We may not deliver successful and engaging games, or players and consumers may prefer our competitors’ products over our own.

We operate in a competitive environment that is characterized by price fluctuation and technological change. We will compete with major international and domestic companies. Some of our current and future potential competitors may have greater market recognition and customer bases, longer operating histories, and substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution, purchasing, manufacturing, personnel, and other resources than we do. In addition, competitors may be developing similar technologies with a cost similar to, or lower than, our projected costs. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to changing customer demands or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sales of blockchain-based games and NFT products than we can.

The Platform is based on new and unproven technologies and is subject to the risks of failure inherent in the development of new products and services.

Because the Platform is based on certain new technologies, it is subject to risks of failure that are particular to new technologies, including the possibility that:

• the Platform may not gain market acceptance;

• proprietary rights of third parties may preclude us from marketing a new product or service;

• the Platform may not receive the exposure required to obtain new users; or

• third parties may market superior products or services.

Digital ecosystems, including offerings of digital assets, is evolving, and uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect our development.

The technologies supporting these digital assets like blockchain and NFTs are new and rapidly evolving. To the extent these technologies become more widely utilized in the industry, our revenues could be negatively impacted. If we fail to explore these new technologies and apply them innovatively to keep our products and services competitive, we may not experience significant growth of our business. Regulation of digital assets like cryptocurrencies, blockchain technologies, NFTs, and cryptocurrency exchanges is currently underdeveloped and likely to rapidly evolve as government agencies take greater interest in them. Regulation also varies significantly among international, federal, state and local jurisdictions and is subject to significant uncertainty. Various legislative and executive bodies in the United States and in other countries may in the future adopt laws, regulations, or guidance, or take other actions, which may severely impact the permissibility of tokens generally and the technology behind them or the means of transacting in or transferring them. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, NFTs, cryptocurrencies, digital assets, utility tokens, security tokens and offerings of digital assets is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect our development and our value if we materially embrace digital assets and cryptocurrencies in the future.

Marketplace demand of the NFTs is unpredictable.

The appetite in the marketplace is unpredictable as it is related to NFTs and may change over time. The trading of NFTs in the open market and use in gameplay are based purely on marketplace demand.

We may not be able to adequately evaluate the risks associated with our planned NFT platform.

The Platform may not be successful and may expose us to legal, regulatory, and other risks. Given the nascent and evolving nature of cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and blockchain technology, we may be unable to accurately anticipate or adequately address such risks or the potential impact of such risks. The occurrence of any such risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, and prospects.

As the market for NFTs is relatively nascent, it is difficult to predict how the legal and regulatory framework around NFTs will develop and how such developments will impact our business and the Platform. Further, market acceptance of NFTs is uncertain as buyers may be unfamiliar or uncomfortable with digital assets generally, how to transact in digital assets, or how to assess the value of NFTs. The launch of the Platform also subjects us to risks similar to those associated with any new platform offering, including, but not limited to, our ability to accurately anticipate market demand and acceptance, our ability to successfully launch our new offering, creator and buyer acceptance, technical issues with the operation of the Platform, and legal and regulatory risks as discussed above. We believe these risks may be heightened with respect to the Platform, as NFTs are still considered a relatively novel concept. If we fail to accurately anticipate or manage the risks associated with the Platform or with our facilitation of crypto asset transactions, or if we directly or indirectly become subject to disputes, liability, or other legal or regulatory issues in connection with the Platform or crypto asset transactions, the Platform may not be successful and our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, and prospects could be materially harmed. See “If we fail to successfully expand the features, services, and offerings on our online marketplace, our ability to grow our business may suffer.”

Our industry is subject to rapid technological change, and if we do not adapt to, and appropriately allocate our resources among, emerging technologies and business models, our business may be negatively impacted.

Technology changes rapidly in the interactive entertainment industry. We must continually anticipate and adapt to emerging technologies, such as cloud-based game streaming, and business models, such as free-to-play and subscription-based access to a portfolio of interactive content, to stay competitive. Forecasting the financial impact of these changing technologies and business models is inherently uncertain and volatile. Supporting a new technology or business model may require partnering with a new platform, business, or technology partner, which may be on terms that are less favorable to us than those for traditional technologies or business models. If we invest in the development of interactive entertainment products for distribution channels that incorporate a new technology or business model that does not achieve significant commercial success, whether because of competition or otherwise, we may not recover the often-substantial up-front costs of developing and marketing those products, or recover the opportunity cost of diverting management and financial resources away from other products or opportunities. Further, our competitors may adapt to an emerging technology or business model more quickly or effectively than we do, creating products that are technologically superior to ours, more appealing to consumers, or both.

If, on the other hand, we elect not to pursue the development of products incorporating a new technology, or otherwise elect not to pursue new business models that achieve significant commercial success, it may have adverse consequences. It may take significant time and expenditures to shift product development resources to that technology or business model, and it may be more difficult to compete against existing products incorporating that technology or using that business model.

Negative perceptions about our business, products, and services and the communities within our products and services may damage our business, and we may incur costs to address concerns.

Expectations regarding the quality, performance and integrity of our products and services are high. Negative responses about our products and services may not be foreseeable. We also may not effectively manage these responses because of reasons within or outside of our control. For example, we have included in certain games the ability for players to purchase digital items, including in some instances virtual “packs”, “boxes” or “crates” that contain variable digital items. The inclusion of variable digital items in certain games has the possibility of creating a negative perception of gameplay fairness or other negative perceptions, our reputation and brand could be harmed and revenue could be negatively impacted.

In addition, we aim to offer our players safe, inclusive and fulfilling online communities. We may not be able to maintain healthy, long-term online communities within our games and services as a result of the use of those communities as forums for harassment or bullying, our inability to successfully discourage overuse of our games and services or overspending within our games and services, or the successful implementation of cheating programs. Although we expend resources, and expect to continue to expend resources, to maintain healthy online communities, our efforts may not be successful due to scale, limitations of existing technologies or other factors.

In the event that there is negative sentiment about gameplay fairness, our online communities, our business practices, business models or game content, it can lead to investigations or increased scrutiny from governmental bodies and consumer groups, as well as litigation, which, regardless of their outcome, may be costly, damaging to our reputation and harm our business.

We may become involved in legal proceedings that may result in adverse outcomes.

We may become subject to claims, suits, government investigations, and other proceedings involving competition and antitrust, intellectual property, privacy, tax, labor and employment, commercial disputes, content generated by our users, goods and services offered by advertisers or publishers using our platforms, and other matters. Such claims, suits, government investigations, and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty. Regardless of the outcome, such legal proceedings can have an adverse impact on us because of legal costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. Determining reserves for our pending litigation is a complex, fact-intensive process that requires significant judgment. It is possible that a resolution of one or more such proceedings could result in substantial fines and penalties that could adversely affect our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in a particular period. These proceedings could also result in criminal sanctions, consent decrees, or orders preventing us from offering certain features, functionalities, products, or services, requiring a change in our business practices, or requiring development of non-infringing products or technologies, which could also adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our business is subject to economic, market and geopolitical conditions.

Our business is subject to economic, market, public health, and geopolitical conditions which are beyond our control. The United States and other international economies have experienced cyclical downturns from time to time. Worsening economic conditions that negatively impact discretionary consumer spending and consumer demand, including inflation, slower growth, recession, and other macroeconomic conditions, including those resulting from public health outbreaks such as the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical issues could have a material adverse impact on our business and operating results. In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. In response, NATO has deployed additional military forces to Eastern Europe, including to Lithuania and the Biden administration announced certain sanctions against Russia. The invasion of Ukraine and the retaliatory measures that have been taken, or could be taken in the future, by the United States, NATO, and other countries have created global security concerns that could result in a regional conflict and otherwise have a lasting impact on regional and global economies, any or all of which could disrupt our platform, adversely affect our ability to conduct ongoing and future business, and adversely affect our ability to commercialize our products in this region. Currently, none of our platform development or business activities are conducted directly or otherwise in Russia or Ukraine. In addition, the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union has caused economic and legal uncertainty in the region and may result in macroeconomic conditions that adversely affect our business.

We are particularly susceptible to market conditions and risks associated with the entertainment industry, which, in addition to general macroeconomic downturns, also include the popularity, price and timing of our games, changes in consumer demographics, the availability and popularity of other forms of entertainment, and critical reviews and public tastes and preferences, which may change rapidly and cannot necessarily be predicted.

Catastrophic events may disrupt our business.

Natural disasters, cyber-incidents, weather events, wildfires, power disruptions, telecommunications failures, public health outbreaks, failed upgrades of existing systems or migrations to new systems, acts of terrorism or other events could cause outages, disruptions and/or degradations of our infrastructure, including our or our partners’ information technology and network systems, a failure in our ability to conduct normal business operations, or the closure of public spaces in which players engage with our games and services. The health and safety of our employees, players,

12

Table of Contents

third-party organizations with whom we partner or regulatory agencies on which we rely could be also affected, which may prevent us from executing against our business strategies or cause a decrease in consumer demand for our products and services. System redundancy may be ineffective and our disaster recovery and business continuity planning may not be sufficient for all eventualities. Such failures, disruptions, closures, or inability to conduct normal business operations could also prevent access to our products, services or online stores selling our products and services, cause delay or interruption in our product or live services offerings, allow breaches of data security or result in the loss of critical data. The COVID-19 pandemic could disrupt our ability to conduct normal business operations. An event that results in the disruption or degradation of any of our critical business functions or information technology systems, harms our ability to conduct normal business operations or causes a decreased in consumer demand for our products and services could materially impact our reputation and brand, financial condition and operating results.

We may not meet our product and live service development schedules and live service release schedule may be delayed, cancelled, or poorly received.

Our ability to meet product development schedules is affected by a number of factors both within and outside our control, including feedback from our players, the creative processes involved, the coordination of large and sometimes geographically dispersed development teams, the complexity of our products and the platforms for which they are developed, the need to fine-tune our products prior to their release and, in certain cases, approvals from third parties. Any failure to meet anticipated production or release schedules likely would result in a delay of revenue and/or possibly a significant shortfall in our revenue, increase our development and/or marketing expenses, harm our profitability, and cause our operating results to be materially different than anticipated. If we miss key selling periods for products or services, particularly the fiscal quarter ending in December, for any reason, including product delays or product cancellations our sales likely will suffer significantly.

Increasing gas fees on Polygon could materially affect our revenues.

Users must pay gas fees on NFT platforms when minting NFTs. The fee is determined by the number of transactions on the protocol and type of computations required to verify transactions; the greater the popularity, the greater the fee. Increased traffic can also lead to scalability problems which may also push gas fees higher. To mitigate this risk we have chosen to build our NFTs on the Polygon network and to strategically price our NFTs. Gas fees on Polygon are significantly cheaper than that of the most widely used blockchain network, Ethereum. The current median gas price on the Polygon network as of April 29, 2022 is less than $0.01 as compared to $2.03 on the Ethereum network. We do not currently anticipate any material changes in gas prices on the Polygon network that would affect our business model. However, if gas prices on the Polygon network become too high, then demand for our NFTs could decrease and we could potentially lose existing and potential customers to competitors with cheaper fees. This would materially and adversely affect our revenues and thereby the success of our business.

Risks Related to Information Technology Systems, Intellectual Property and Privacy Laws

Security breaches and attacks against our systems and network, and any potentially resulting breach or failure to otherwise protect confidential and proprietary information, could damage our reputation and negatively impact our business, as well as materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Although we have employed significant resources to develop our security measures against breaches, our cybersecurity measures may not detect or prevent all attempts to compromise our systems, including distributed denial-of-service attacks, viruses, malicious software, break-ins, phishing attacks, social engineering, security breaches or other attacks and similar disruptions that may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted by our systems or that we otherwise maintain. Breaches of our cybersecurity measures could result in unauthorized access to our systems, misappropriation of information or data, deletion or modification of client information, or a denial-of-service or other interruption to our business operations. As techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or sabotage systems change frequently and may not be known until launched against us or our third-party service providers, we may be unable to anticipate, or implement adequate measures to protect against, these attacks.

If we are unable to avert these attacks and security breaches, we could be subject to significant legal and financial liability, our reputation would be harmed and we could sustain substantial revenue loss from lost sales and customer dissatisfaction. We may not have the resources or technical sophistication to anticipate or prevent rapidly evolving types of cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks may target us, our Traders or other participants, the communication infrastructure, or

13

Table of Contents

the e-platform on which we depend. Actual or anticipated attacks and risks may cause us to incur significantly higher costs, including costs to deploy additional personnel and network protection technologies, train employees, and engage third-party experts and consultants. Cybersecurity breaches would not only harm our reputation and business, but also could materially decrease our revenue and net income.

We face the risk of fraud.

Online transactions may be subject to sophisticated schemes or collusion to defraud, launder money or other illegal activities, and there is a risk that our products may be used for those purposes either by our customers or our employees or contractors. This may be especially true when dealing with cryptocurrencies, which by design, may be difficult or impossible to trace. While we believe that our systems, both computer and procedural, afford an adequate degree of protection against fraudulent activities, if such protection is not effective in all cases, is circumvented or if we fail to implement updated controls and procedures or to counter new fraud techniques, we could lose the confidence of our customers and our reputation could be damaged. Moreover, any failure to protect ourselves and our customers from fraudulent activity, could result in reputational damage and could materially adversely affect our operations, financial performance and prospects. Failure to adequately monitor and prevent money laundering and other fraudulent activity could also result in civil or criminal liability.

We use open-source software in connection with certain of our games and services which may pose particular risks to our proprietary software, products, and services in a manner that could have a negative impact on our business.

We use open-source software in connection with some of the games and services we offer. Some open-source software licenses require users who distribute open source software as part of their software to publicly disclose all or part of the source code to such software or make available any derivative works of the open source code on unfavorable terms or at no cost. The terms of various open-source licenses have not been interpreted by courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our use of the open-source software. Were it determined that our use was not in compliance with a particular license, we may be required to release our proprietary source code, pay damages for breach of contract, re-engineer our games or products, discontinue distribution in the event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis, or take other remedial action that may divert resources away from our game development efforts, any of which could negatively impact our business.

We rely on third-party providers for computing infrastructure, secure network connectivity, and other technology-related services needed to deliver our products. Any disruption in the services provided by such third-party provider could adversely affect our business.

Our products are hosted from, and use computing infrastructure, secure network connectivity, and other technology-related services provided by third-party providers. We do not control the operations of these third-party provider or own the equipment used to provide such services. Because we cannot easily switch between cloud providers, any disruption of or interference, for example, due to natural disasters, cyber-attacks, terrorist attacks, power losses, telecommunications failures, or similar events, would impact our operations and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. In addition, these providers have no obligation to renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to renew our agreements on commercially reasonable terms or develop our blockchain capabilities, we may be required to transition to a new provider, and we may incur significant costs and possible service interruption in connection with doing so.

In addition, these providers may take actions beyond our control that could seriously harm our business, including:

• discontinuing or limiting our access to its cloud platform

• increasing pricing terms;

• terminating or seeking to terminate our contractual relationship altogether;

• establishing more favorable relationships or pricing terms with one or more of our competitors; and

• modifying or interpreting its terms of service or other policies in a manner that impacts our ability to run our business and operations.

Table of Contents

Cloud hosting providers have broad discretion to change and interpret their terms of service and other policies with respect to us, and those actions may be unfavorable to us. They may also alter how we are able to process data on their respective cloud platforms. If changes or interpretations are made that are unfavorable to us, our business could be seriously harmed.

We may not be able to secure all rights to our intellectual property or our rights may be subject to claims of infringement by others and other issues affecting production.

We will rely on a combination of trade secret, trademark, and copyright laws, as well as employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements and other protective measures, to protect intellectual property rights pertaining to our products and technologies both in the U.S. and abroad. There can be no assurance, however, that these measures will provide meaningful protection of our technology, trade secrets, know-how or other intellectual property in the event of any unauthorized use, misappropriation, or disclosure. There can also be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar technologies or duplicate any technology that we develop or have developed without violating our intellectual property rights. In addition, there can be no assurance that our intellectual property rights will be held to be valid, will not be successfully challenged or will otherwise be of value. In the event that we are subject to a claim of intellectual property infringement, whether it be patent, copyright or trademark, the cost of defending such a claim, even if partly covered by insurance, will be significant and will have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

If third parties claim that we infringe their intellectual property, it may result in costly litigation.

We cannot assure you that third parties will not claim our current or future products or services infringe their intellectual property rights. Any such claims, with or without merit, could cause costly litigation that could consume significant management time. Such claims also might require us to enter into royalty or license agreements. If required, we may not be able to obtain such royalty or license agreements, or obtain them on terms acceptable to us.

We may not be able to adequately protect our proprietary technology, and our competitors may be able to offer similar products and services which would harm our competitive position.

Our success, in part, depends upon our proprietary technology. We have various forms of intellectual property including patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to establish and protect our proprietary rights. Despite these precautions, third parties could copy or otherwise obtain and use our technology without authorization, or develop similar technology independently. We also pursue the registration of our domain names, trademarks, and service marks in the United States. However, we cannot provide any assurance that patent applications that we file will ultimately result in an issued patent or, if issued, that they will provide sufficient protections for our technology against competitors. We cannot assure you that the protection of our proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar technology, duplicate our products and services or design around any intellectual property rights we hold.

The Platform may raise issues regarding third party intellectual property rights.

NFTs raise various intellectual property law considerations, including adequacy and scope of assignment, licensing, transfer, copyright, and other right of use issues. The creator of an NFT will often have all rights to the content of the NFT and can determine what rights to assign to a buyer, such as the right to display, modify, or copy the content. To the extent we are directly or indirectly involved in a dispute between creators and buyers on the Platform, it could materially and adversely affect the success of the Platform and harm our business and reputation.

The Platform may face cybersecurity risks.

NFTs in general, and the Platform specifically, may also be an attractive target for cybersecurity attacks. For example, a perpetrator could seek to obtain the private key associated with a digital wallet holding an NFT to access and sell the NFT without valid authorization, and the owner of the NFT may have limited recourse due to the nature of blockchain transactions and of cybercrimes generally. NFT marketplaces, including the Platform, may also be vulnerable to attacks where an unauthorized party acquires the necessary credentials to access user accounts. The safeguards we have implemented or may implement in the future to protect against cybersecurity threats may be insufficient. If the Platform were to experience any cyberattacks, it could negatively impact our reputation and market acceptance of our platform.

The laws and regulations concerning data privacy are continually evolving. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm our business.

We will collect and store information about our consumers, including consumers who play our games. In addition, we collect and store information about our employees. We will be subject to laws from a variety of jurisdictions regarding privacy and the protection of this information, including the E.U.’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), which regulates the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information from children under 13 years of age, and the California Consumer Privacy Act. Failure to comply with any of these laws or regulations may increase our costs, subject us to expensive and distracting government investigations, and result in substantial fines.

Data privacy protection laws are rapidly changing and likely will continue to do so for the foreseeable future and may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For example, the E.U. has traditionally taken a broader view than the United States and certain other jurisdictions as to what is considered personal information and has imposed greater obligations under data privacy and protection regulations, including those imposed under the GDPR. The U.S. government, including the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce, as well as various U.S. state governments, are continuing to review the need for greater regulation over the collection of personal information and information about consumer behavior on the Internet and on mobile devices. Complying with emerging and changing laws could require us to incur substantial costs or impact our approach to operating and marketing our games. Due to the rapidly changing nature of these data privacy protection laws, there is not always clear guidance from the respective governments and regulators regarding the interpretation of the law, which may create the risk of an inadvertent violation. For example, the California legislature recently passed the California Consumer Privacy Act and the E.U. has proposed further reforms to its existing data protection legal framework, in addition to the GDPR, which may further change our compliance obligations. Various government and consumer agencies worldwide have also called for new regulation and changes in industry practices. In addition, in some cases, we are dependent upon our platform providers and external data processors to assist us in ensuring compliance with these various types of regulations, and a violation by one of these third parties may also subject us to government investigations and result in substantial fines.

Player interaction with our games will be subject to our privacy policies, end user license agreements (“EULAs”), and terms of service. If we fail to comply with our posted privacy policies, EULAs, or terms of service, or if we fail to comply with existing privacy-related or data protection laws and regulations, it could result in proceedings or litigation against us by governmental authorities or others, which could result in fines or judgments against us, damage our reputation, impact our financial condition, and harm our business. If regulators, the media, consumers, or employees raise any concerns about our privacy and data protection or consumer protection practices, even if unfounded, this could also result in fines or judgments against us, damage our reputation, negatively impact our financial condition, or damage our business.

Our business will be subject to complex and prescriptive regulations regarding consumer protection and data privacy practices, and could be adversely affected if our consumer protection, data privacy and security practices are not adequate, or perceived as being inadequate.

We will be subject to global data privacy, data protection, localization, security and consumer-protection laws and regulations worldwide. These laws and regulations are emerging and evolving and the interpretation and application of these laws and regulations often are uncertain, contradictory, and changing. The failure to maintain data practices that are compliant with applicable laws and regulations, or evolving interpretations of applicable laws and regulations, could result in inquiries from enforcement agencies or direct consumer complaints, resulting in civil or criminal penalties, and could adversely impact our reputation and brand. In addition, the operational costs of compliance with these regulations are high and will likely continue to increase.

Even if we remain in strict compliance with applicable laws and regulations, consumer sensitivity to the collection and processing of their personal information continues to increase. Any real or perceived failures in maintaining acceptable data privacy practices, including allowing improper or unauthorized access, acquisition or misuse and/or uninformed disclosure of consumer, employee and other information, or a perception that we do not adequately secure this information or provide consumers with adequate notice about the information that they authorize us to collect and disclose could result in brand, reputational, or other harms to the business, result in costly remedial measures, deter current and potential customers from using our products and services and cause our financial results to be materially affected.

Table of Contents

Third party vendors and business partners receive access to certain information that we collect. These vendors and business partners may not prevent data security breaches with respect to the information we provide them or fully enforce our policies, contractual obligations and disclosures regarding the collection, use, storage, transfer and retention of personal data. A data security breach of one of our vendors or business partners could cause reputational and financial harm to them and us, negatively impact our ability to offer our products and services, and could result in legal liability, costly remedial measures, governmental and regulatory investigations, harm our profitability, reputation and brand, and cause our financial results to be materially affected.

Digital ecosystems, including offerings of digital assets, are evolving, and uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect our development.

The technologies supporting these digital assets like blockchain and NFT are new and rapidly evolving. To the extent these technologies become more widely utilized in the industry, our revenues could be negatively impacted. If we fail to explore these new technologies and apply them innovatively to keep our products and services competitive, we may not experience significant growth of our business. Regulation of digital assets like, cryptocurrencies, blockchain technologies, NFTs and cryptocurrency exchanges, is currently underdeveloped and likely to rapidly evolve as government agencies take greater interest in them. Regulation also varies significantly among international, federal, state and local jurisdictions and is subject to significant uncertainty. Various legislative and executive bodies in the United States and in other countries may in the future adopt laws, regulations, or guidance, or take other actions, which may severely impact the permissibility of tokens generally and the technology behind them or the means of transacting in or transferring them. The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, NFTs, cryptocurrencies, digital assets, utility tokens, security tokens and offerings of digital assets is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially adversely affect our development and our value if we materially embrace digital assets and cryptocurrencies in the future.

Risks Related to Digital Assets

The sale of NFTs on the Platform could be determined to be the unregistered sale of securities.

There is regulatory uncertainty with respect to whether certain NFTs could be considered securities. If NFTs sold on the Platform were deemed to be securities, we may be found to be in violation of securities laws for engaging in transactions regarding unregistered securities. Such a determination could lead to an enforcement action by the SEC and result in fines and other penalties, and have a negative impact on our business.

Risks relating to our decision to accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment may subject us to exchange risk and additional tax and regulatory requirements.

We currently plan to accept Bitcoin and Ethereum, as a form of payment for purchases on the Platform, in which case we would be subject to additional regulatory requirements. We do not currently plan to accept any other cryptocurrencies as a form of payment.

Cryptocurrencies are not currently considered legal tender or backed by any government. The prices of digital assets have been in the past and may continue to be highly volatile, including as a result of various associated risks and uncertainties. For example, the prevalence of such assets is a relatively recent trend, and their long-term adoption by investors, consumers and businesses is unpredictable. Moreover, their lack of a physical form, their reliance on technology for their creation, existence and transactional validation and their decentralization may subject their integrity to the threat of malicious attacks and technological obsolescence. As intangible assets without centralized issuers or governing bodies, digital assets have been, and may in the future be, subject to security breaches, cyberattacks or other malicious activities, as well as human errors or computer malfunctions that may result in the loss or destruction of private keys needed to access such assets.

We will not accept such cryptocurrency payments directly, but plan to use a third-party vendor to accept and process any such cryptocurrency payments on our behalf. Such third-party vendor may then immediately convert the cryptocurrency into U.S. dollars so that we would receive payment in U.S. dollars. However, the regulatory environment covering the acceptance of cryptocurrencies is still evolving and the extent to which we would be responsible for any decrease in the value of such cryptocurrencies after the customer has tendered the funds but prior to its delivery to us in U.S. dollars has not been established.

17

Table of Contents

We may also hold cryptocurrencies directly, and we have exchange rate risk in the amounts we hold as well as the risks that regulatory or other developments may adversely affect the value of the cryptocurrencies we hold. There is substantial uncertainty regarding legal and regulatory requirements relating to cryptocurrencies or transactions utilizing cryptocurrencies. These uncertainties, as well as potential accounting and tax issues, or other requirements relating to cryptocurrencies could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Furthermore, it is unclear the extent to which accepting Bitcoin and Ethereum would subject us to additional money laundering regulations, “Know Your Customer” (“KYC”) procedures or other laws or to additional taxation. If we fail to comply with prohibitions applicable to us, we could face regulatory or other enforcement actions and potential fines and other consequences.

We rely on third parties for certain aspects of our business, which creates additional risk.

We rely on third parties for certain aspects of our business, including payment service providers and digital wallets to process transactions. We may not manage to comply with our agreement with third parties or these third parties may refuse to process transactions adequately, may breach their agreements with us, may refuse to renew agreements on commercially reasonable terms, take actions that degrade the functionality of our services, impose additional costs, new licenses or other requirements on us, or give preferential treatment to competitive services or suffer outages in their systems, any of which could disrupt our operations and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Some third parties that provide services to us may have or gain market power and could increase their prices to us without competitive constraint. In addition, there can be no assurance that third parties that provide services directly to us will continue to do so on acceptable terms, or at all, or will not suffer from outages to their systems. If any third parties were to stop providing services to us on acceptable terms, we may be unable to find alternative providers in a timely and efficient manner and on acceptable terms, or at all, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our crypto assets may be subject to loss, damage, theft or restriction on access. Further, digital asset exchanges on which crypto assets trade are relatively new and largely unregulated, and thus may be exposed to fraud and failure. Incorrect or fraudulent cryptocurrency transactions may be irreversible.

We plan to use a third party payment service provider to process any transactions involving payment for our NFTs with digital currencies. In addition, we intend to purchase and hold MATIC, in increments as needed, solely for the purpose of paying the fees associated with minting our NFTs on the Polygon network. Our intention is to immediately convert all cryptocurrency received as payment to cash. In addition, we intend to hold only the minimal amount of MATIC required to interact with the blockchain as part of our core business of minting NFTs, and we do not intend to accept MATIC as a form of payment or to hold MATIC as a long term asset. We are currently in the process of selecting the right custodian for our crypto assets and do not have any custody arrangements. There is a risk that part or a portion or all of our crypto assets could be lost, stolen or destroyed. Crypto assets are stored in crypto asset sites commonly referred to as “wallets” which may be accessed to exchange a holder’s crypto assets. Access to our crypto assets could also be restricted by cybercrime (such as a denial of service attack) against a service at which we maintain a hosted wallet. We believe that our crypto assets will be an appealing target to hackers or malware distributors seeking to destroy, damage or steal our crypto assets. Hackers or malicious actors may attempt to steal our crypto assets, such as by attacking such network source code, exchange miners, third-party platforms, storage locations or software, our general computer systems or networks, or by other means. Access to our crypto assets could also be restricted by natural events (such as an earthquake or flood) or human actions (such as a terrorist attack). Any of these events may adversely affect our operations and, consequently, our investments and profitability and we cannot guarantee that we will prevent loss, damage or theft, whether caused intentionally, accidentally or by act of God. The loss or destruction of a private key required to access our digital wallets may be irreversible and we may be denied access for all time to our crypto asset holdings. Our loss of access to our private keys or our experience of a data loss relating to our digital wallets could adversely affect our investments and assets.

It is possible that, through computer or human error, theft or criminal action, our crypto assets could be transferred in incorrect amounts or to unauthorized third parties or accounts. In general, Bitcoin transactions are irrevocable, and stolen or incorrectly transferred cryptocurrencies may be irretrievable, and we may have extremely limited or no effective means of recovering such Bitcoins.

Digital asset payment service providers and exchanges on which cryptocurrencies trade are relatively new and, in most cases, largely unregulated. Many digital asset payment service providers and/or exchanges do not provide the public with significant information regarding their ownership structure, management teams, corporate practices or regulatory compliance. As a result, the marketplace may lose confidence in, or may experience problems relating to, cryptocurrency payment service providers and/or exchanges, including prominent exchanges handling a significant portion of the volume of digital asset trading. During 2022, a number of companies in the crypto industry have declared bankruptcy, including ore Scientific Inc., Celsius Network LLC (“Celsius”), Voyager Digital Ltd., Three Arrows Capital, BlockFi Lending LLC, and FTX Trading Ltd. (“FTX”). In June 2022, Celsius began pausing all withdrawals and transfers between accounts on its platform, and in July 2022, it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Further, in November 2022, FTX, one of the major cryptocurrency exchanges, also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Such bankruptcies have contributed, at least in part, to further price decreases in most crypto assets, a loss of confidence in the participants of the digital asset ecosystem and negative publicity surrounding digital assets more broadly, and other participants and entities in the digital asset industry have been, and may continue to be, negatively affected. These events have also negatively impacted the liquidity of the digital assets markets as certain entities affiliated with FTX engaged in significant trading activity.

We have not been directly impacted by any of the recent bankruptcies in the crypto asset space, as we have no contractual privity or relationship to the relevant parties. However, we are dependent on the overall crypto assets industry with respect to any transactions involving payment for our NFTs with digital currencies and for the digital currencies needed by us to pay the fees associated with minting our NFTs, and such recent events may contribute, at least in part, to decreases and volatility to our stock price as well as the price of most crypto assets. If the liquidity of the digital assets markets continues to be negatively impacted, digital asset prices (including the price of bitcoin) may continue to experience significant volatility and confidence in the digital asset markets may be further undermined. A perceived lack of stability in the digital asset market and the closure or temporary shutdown of digital asset payment service providers and/or exchanges due to business failure, hackers or malware, government-mandated regulation, or fraud, may reduce confidence in digital asset networks and result in greater volatility in cryptocurrency values. These potential consequences of a digital asset payment service provider’s and/or exchange’s failure could adversely affect an investment in us.

We intend safeguard and keep private custodian our digital assets by utilizing storage solutions provided by a custodian, which will likely require multi-factor authentication. While we are confident in the security of our digital assets that will be held by our custodian, given the broader market conditions, there can be no assurance that other crypto asset market participants, including our custodian, will not ultimately be impacted by recent market events. If our custodian were to limit or halt services, we would need to find another custodian. While we have not been directly impacted by any of the recent bankruptcies in the crypto asset space as we had no contractual privity or relationship to the relevant parties, we are dependent on the overall industry perception tied to these recent bankruptcy events, and this may be reflected in our stock price as well as the price of Bitcoin and other crypto assets. We continue to monitor the digital assets industry as a whole, although these events are continuing to develop and it is not possible at this time to predict all of the risks stemming from these events that may result to us, our service providers, including digital asset payment service providers, custodians and wallets, our counterparties, and the broader industry as a whole.

Any of these events may adversely affect our operations and results of operations and, consequently, an investment in us.

If our current, or any of our future, custodians file for bankruptcy, crypto assets held in their custody could be determined to be property of a bankruptcy estate and we could be considered a general unsecured creditor thereof.

The treatment of bitcoins and other crypto assets held by custodians that file for bankruptcy protection is uncharted territory in U.S. Bankruptcy law. We cannot say with certainty whether bitcoins and other crypto assets held in custody by a bankrupt custodian would be treated as property of a bankruptcy estate and, accordingly, whether the owner of that bitcoin would be treated as a general unsecured creditor.

Malicious actors could manipulate distributed ledger networks and smart contract technology upon which digital assets rely and increase the vulnerability of the distributed ledger networks.

If a malicious actor, including a state-sponsored actor, is able to hack or otherwise exert unilateral control over a particular distributed ledger network, or the digital assets on such a network, that actor could attempt to divert assets from that distributed ledger or otherwise prevent the confirmation of transactions recorded on that distributed ledger.

19

Table of Contents

Such an event could materially and adversely affect our business. Digital assets have been the subject of attempted manipulation by hackers to use them for malicious purposes. For example, misuses could occur if a malicious actor obtains a majority of the processing power controlling the digital asset validating activities and altering the distributed ledger on which digital asset transactions rely. Moreover, if the award for solving transaction blocks for a particular digital asset declines, and transaction fees are not sufficiently high, the incentive to continue validating distributed ledger transactions would decrease and could lead to a stoppage of validation activities. The collective processing power of that distributed ledger would be reduced, which would adversely affect the confirmation process for transactions by decreasing the speed of the adaptation and adjustment in the difficulty for transaction block solutions. Such slower adjustments would make the distributed ledger network more vulnerable to malicious actors’ obtaining control of the processing power over distributed ledger network processing.

The network contributors for certain Digital Assets could propose amendments to the network protocols and software for Digital Assets that, if accepted and authorized by the network for the Digital Assets, could adversely affect the Platform.

The networks for certain digital assets are based on a protocol governing the peer-to-peer interactions between computers connected to each other within that network. The development team for a network (if any) might propose and implement amendments to a network’s source code through software upgrades altering the original protocol, including fundamental ideas such as the irreversibility of transactions and limitations on the validation of blockchain software distributed ledgers. Such changes to original protocols and software could materially and adversely affect our business.

We currently support, and expect to continue to support, certain smart contract-based crypto assets. If the underlying smart contracts for these crypto assets do not operate as expected, they could lose value and our business could be adversely affected.

We currently support, and expect to continue to support, various crypto assets that represent units of value on smart contracts deployed on a third party blockchain. Smart contracts are programs that store and transfer value and execute automatically when certain conditions are met. Since smart contracts typically cannot be stopped or reversed, vulnerabilities in their programming and design can have damaging effects. For instance, in April 2018, a batch overflow bug was found in many Ethereum-based ERC20-compatible smart contract tokens that allows hackers to create a large number of smart contract tokens, causing multiple crypto asset platforms worldwide to shut down ERC20-compatible token trading. If any such vulnerabilities or flaws come to fruition, smart contract-based crypto assets, including those held by our customers on our platforms, may suffer negative publicity, be exposed to security vulnerabilities, decline significantly in value, and lose liquidity over a short period of time.

In some cases, smart contracts can be controlled by one or more “admin keys” or users with special privileges, or “super users”. These users have the ability to unilaterally make changes to the smart contract, enable or disable features on the smart contract, change how the smart contract receives external inputs and data, and make other changes to the smart contract. For smart contracts that hold a pool of reserves, these users may also be able to extract funds from the pool, liquidate assets held in the pool, or take other actions that decrease the value of the assets held by the smart contract in reserves. Even for crypto assets that have adopted a decentralized governance mechanism, such as smart contracts that are governed by the holders of a governance token, such governance tokens can be concentrated in the hands of a small group of core community members, who would be able to make similar changes unilaterally to the smart contract. If any such super user or group of core members unilaterally make adverse changes to a smart contract, the design, functionality, features and value of the smart contract, its related crypto assets may be harmed. In addition, assets held by the smart contract in reserves may be stolen, misused, burnt, locked up or otherwise become unusable and irrecoverable. These super users can also become targets of hackers and malicious attackers. If an attacker is able to access or obtain the super user privileges of a smart contract, or if a smart contract’s super-users or core community members take actions that adversely affects the smart contract, our customers who hold and transact in the affected crypto assets may experience decreased functionality and value of the applicable crypto assets, up to and including a total loss of the value of such crypto assets. Although we do not control these smart contracts, any such events could cause customers to seek damages against us for their losses, result in reputational damage to us, or in other ways adversely impact our business.

Acceptance and/or widespread use of digital assets is uncertain.

Currently, there is a relatively small use of digital assets in the retail and commercial marketplace for goods or services. In comparison, there is relatively large use by speculators contributing to price volatility.

The relative lack of acceptance of digital assets in the retail and commercial marketplace limits the ability of end-users to use them to pay for goods and services. Such lack of acceptance or decline in acceptances would have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or operations and potentially the value of any digital assets we hold or expect to acquire for our own account.

Incorrect or fraudulent cryptocurrency transactions may be irreversible.

Cryptocurrency transactions are irrevocable and stolen or incorrectly transferred cryptocurrencies may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed or fraudulent cryptocurrency transactions, such as a result of a cybersecurity breach against our cryptocurrency holdings, could adversely affect our investments and assets. This is because cryptocurrency transactions are not, from an administrative perspective, reversible without the consent and active participation of the recipient of the cryptocurrencies from the transaction. Once a transaction has been verified and recorded in a block that is added to a blockchain, an incorrect transfer of a cryptocurrency or a theft thereof generally will not be reversible, and we may not have sufficient recourse to recover our losses from any such transfer or theft. Further, it is possible that, through computer or human error, or through theft or criminal action, our cryptocurrency rewards could be transferred in incorrect amounts or to unauthorized third parties, or to uncontrolled accounts. If an errant or fraudulent transaction in our cryptocurrency holdings were to occur, we would have very limited means of seeking to reverse the transaction or seek recourse. To the extent that we are unable to recover our losses from such action, error or theft, such events could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Because there has been limited precedent set for financial accounting for digital assets, the determinations that we have made for how to account for digital assets transactions may be subject to change.

Because there has been limited precedent set for the financial accounting for digital assets and related revenue recognition and no official guidance has yet been provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the SEC, it is unclear how companies may in the future be required to account for cryptocurrency transactions and assets and related revenue recognition. A change in regulatory or financial accounting standards could result in the necessity to change the accounting methods we currently intend to employ in respect of our anticipated revenues and assets and restate any financial statements produced based on those methods. Such a restatement could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operation.

Banks and financial institutions may not provide banking services, or may cut off services, to businesses that provide cryptocurrency-related services or that accept cryptocurrencies as payment.

A number of companies that provide cryptocurrency-related services have been unable to find banks or financial institutions that are willing to provide them with bank accounts and other services. Similarly, a number of companies and individuals or businesses associated with cryptocurrencies may have had and may continue to have their existing bank accounts closed or services discontinued with financial institutions. We also may be unable to maintain these services for our business.

The difficulty that many businesses that provide cryptocurrency-related services have and may continue to have in finding banks and financial institutions willing to provide them services may decrease the usefulness of cryptocurrencies as a payment system and harm public perception of cryptocurrencies. Similarly, the usefulness of cryptocurrencies as a payment system and the public perception of cryptocurrencies could be damaged if banks or financial institutions were to close the accounts of businesses providing cryptocurrency-related services. This could occur as a result of compliance risk, cost, government regulation or public pressure. The risk applies to securities firms, clearance and settlement firms, national stock and commodities exchanges, the over the counter market and the Depository Trust Company. Such factors would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.

Regulatory changes or actions may restrict the use of digital assets in a manner that adversely affects an investment in us.

As digital assets have grown in popularity and in market size, the Federal Reserve Board, U.S. Congress and certain U.S. agencies (e.g., the CFTC, the Commission, FinCEN and the Federal Bureau of Investigation) have begun to examine digital assets. On March 9, 2022, President Biden signed an executive order on cryptocurrencies. While the executive order did not mandate any specific regulations, it instructs various federal agencies to consider potential regulatory measures, including the evaluation of the creation of a U.S. Central Bank digital currency. Future changes to existing regulations or entirely new regulations may affect our business in ways it is not presently possible for us to predict with any reasonable degree of reliability. Digital assets currently face an uncertain regulatory landscape in not only the United States but also in such foreign jurisdictions as the European Union and China. While certain governments such as Germany, have issued guidance as to how to treat cryptocurrencies, most regulatory bodies have not issued specific policy determinations. Future changes to existing regulations or entirely new regulations may affect our business in ways it is not presently possible for us to predict with any reasonable degree of reliability, but such change could be substantial and adverse to us and could adversely affect an investment in us.

Political or economic crises may motivate large-scale sales of crypto assets, which could result in a reduction in values of crypto assets and adversely affect an investment in us.

Geopolitical crises such as Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine may motivate large-scale sales of crypto assets, which could rapidly decrease the price of crypto assets. Alternatively, as an emerging asset class with limited acceptance as a payment system or commodity, global crises and general economic downturn may discourage investment in crypto assets as investors focus their investment on less volatile asset classes as a means of hedging their investment risk.

Crypto assets, which are relatively new, are subject to supply and demand forces based upon the desirability of an alternative, decentralized means of buying and selling goods and services, and it is unclear how such supply and demand will be impacted by geopolitical events, including the war in Ukraine or other crises which may arise in the future. Nevertheless, political or economic crises may motivate large-scale acquisitions or sales of crypto assets either globally or locally. Large-scale sales of crypto assets would result in a reduction in cryptocurrency values and could adversely affect an investment in us.

We may lose our private key to our digital wallet, causing a loss of all of our digital assets.

Digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies and NFTs, are stored in a so-called “digital wallet”, which may be accessed to exchange a holder’s digital assets, and is controllable by the processor of both the public key and the private key relating to this digital wallet in which the digital assets are held, both of which are unique. We will publish the public key relating to digital wallets in use when we verify the receipt of transfers and disseminate such information into the network, but we will need to safeguard the private keys relating to such digital wallets, which are stored in the possession of certain of our officers. If the private key is lost, destroyed, or otherwise compromised, we may be unable to access our cryptocurrencies held in the related digital wallet which will essentially be lost. If the private key is acquired by a third party, then this third party may be able to gain access to our cryptocurrencies. Any loss of private keys relating to digital wallets used to store our cryptocurrencies could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue as a going concern or could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.

Whether a particular non-fungible token (NFT) or other digital or “crypto” asset is a “security” is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and if we are unable to properly characterize an NFT or other digital asset, we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny, inquiries, investigations, fines, and other penalties, which may adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

The SEC and its staff have taken the position that certain digital or “crypto” assets (which includes NFTs) fall within the definition of a “security” under the U.S. federal securities laws.

The classification of a digital asset as a security under applicable law has wide-ranging implications for the regulatory obligations that flow from the offer and sale of such assets. For example, a digital asset that is a security in the United States may generally only be offered or sold in the United States pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC or in an offering that qualifies for an exemption from registration. Persons that effect transactions in digital assets that are securities in the United States may be subject to registration with the SEC as a “broker” or “dealer.”

22

Table of Contents

Platforms that bring together purchasers and sellers to trade digital assets that are securities in the United States are generally subject to registration as national securities exchanges, or must qualify for an exemption, such as by being operated by a registered broker-dealer as an alternative trading system (ATS) in compliance with rules for ATSs.

We will have policies and processes to analyze whether each NFT that we sell on the Platform could be deemed to be a “security” under applicable laws. Our policies and processes do not constitute a legal standard but rather represent our company-developed model, which permits us to make a risk-based assessment regarding the likelihood that a particular NFT could be deemed a “security” under applicable laws. Regardless of our conclusions, they are not binding on regulators or courts and we could be subject to legal or regulatory action in the event the SEC, a state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court were to determine that an NFT posted and sold on the Platform is a “security” under applicable laws. Because the Platform is not registered or licensed with the SEC or foreign authorities as a broker-dealer, national securities exchange, or ATS (or foreign equivalents), and we do not seek to register or rely on an exemption from such registration or license to facilitate the offer and sale of NFTs on the Platform, we only permit posting on the Platform of our own NFTs for which we determine there are reasonably strong arguments to conclude that the NFT is not a security. We believe that our process reflects a comprehensive and thoughtful analysis and is reasonably designed to facilitate consistent application of available legal guidance to digital assets to facilitate informed risk-based business judgment. However, we recognize that the application of securities laws to the specific facts and circumstances of digital assets may be complex and subject to change, and that a posting determination does not guarantee any conclusion under the U.S. federal securities laws. We expect our risk assessment policies and to continuously evolve to take into account case law, facts, and developments in technology.

There can be no assurances that we will properly characterize any given NFT as a security or non-security for purposes of determining whether the Platform will allow the posting of such NFT, or that the SEC, foreign regulatory authority, or a court, if the question was presented to it, would agree with our assessment. If the SEC, state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court were to determine that NFTs offered or sold on the Platform are securities, we would not be able to offer such NFTs until we are able to do so in a compliant manner. A determination by the SEC, a state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court that an NFT sold on our Platform was a security may also result in us determining that it is advisable to remove NFTs from the Platform that have similar characteristics to the NFT that was determined to be a security. In addition, we could be subject to judicial or administrative sanctions for failing to offer or sell the NFT in compliance with the registration requirements, or for acting as a broker, dealer, or national securities exchange without appropriate registration. Such an action could result in injunctions, cease and desist orders, as well as civil monetary penalties, fines, and disgorgement, criminal liability, and reputational harm. Customers that purchased such NFTs on the Platform and suffered losses could also seek to rescind a transaction that we facilitated as the basis that it was conducted in violation of applicable law, which could subject us to significant liability.

Risks Related to Regulatory Changes

Changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional tax liabilities, and changes to tax laws and interpretations of tax laws could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.

We are subject to taxes in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment will be required to determine our worldwide income tax provision, tax assets, and accruals for other taxes, and there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Our effective income tax rate is based in part on our corporate operating structure and the manner in which we operate our business and develop, value and use our intellectual property. Taxing authorities in jurisdictions in which we operate may challenge and audit our methodologies for calculating our income taxes, which could increase our effective income tax rate and have an adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows. In addition, our provision for income taxes is materially affected by our profit levels, changes in our business, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the elections we make, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in applicable tax laws or interpretations of existing income and withholding tax laws, as well as other factors. For example, the outcome of future guidance related to the U.S. Tax Act could cause us to change our analysis and materially impact our previous estimates and consolidated financial statements.

23

Table of Contents

In addition, changes to U.S. federal, state or international tax laws or their applicability to corporate multinationals in the countries in which we do business may affect our effective tax rates and cash taxes, cause us to change the way in which we structure our business and resulted in other costs. Our effective tax rate also could be adversely affected by changes in our valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Actual financial results also may differ materially from our current estimates and could have a material impact on our assessment of the valuation allowance.

The Platform may be subject to regulation by financial regulators.

NFTs, in general, and the Platform may also be subject to regulations of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (”FinCEN”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Bank Secrecy Act. Further, the Office of Foreign Assets Controls (“OFAC”) has signaled sanctions could apply to digital transactions and has pursued enforcement actions involving cryptocurrencies and digital asset accounts. The nature of many NFT transactions also involve circumstances which present higher risks for potential violations, such as anonymity, subjective valuation, use of intermediaries, lack of transparency, and decentralization associated with blockchain technology. In addition, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has stated that cryptocurrencies, with which NFTs have some similarities, fall within the definition of “commodities.” If NFTs were deemed to be a commodity, NFT transactions could be subject to prohibitions on deceptive and manipulative trading or restrictions on manner of trading (e.g., on a registered derivatives exchange), depending on how the transaction is conducted. Moreover, if NFTs were deemed to be a “security”, it could raise federal and state securities law implications, including exemption or registration requirements for marketplaces for NFT transactions, sellers of NFTs, and the NFT transactions themselves, as well as liability issues, such as insider trading or material omissions or misstatements, among others. NFT transactions may also be subject to laws governing virtual currency or money transmission. For example, New York has legislation regarding the operation of virtual currency businesses. NFT transactions also raise issues regarding compliance with laws of foreign jurisdictions, many of which present complex compliance issues and may conflict with one another. Our launch and operation of the Platform (including our facilitation of transactions in Ether, a cryptocurrency, in connection therewith) expose us to the foregoing risks, among others, any of which could materially and adversely affect the success of the Platform and harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, and prospects.

Our facilitation of transactions in cryptocurrencies such as Ether on the Platform exposes us to risks under U.S. and foreign tax laws.

Although under U.S. federal tax laws, cryptocurrencies are currently considered property versus currency, we are obligated to report transactions involving cryptocurrencies in U.S. dollars and must determine their fair market value on each transaction date. The U.S. federal taxing authorities have issued limited guidance on cryptocurrency transactions. The current guidance treats the use of cryptocurrency to purchase a NFT as a taxable disposition of the cryptocurrency, which subjects the holder to taxable gain that such holder must report for federal and state tax purposes. Similarly, a seller of a NFT is subject to tax on the sale of the NFT. Congress is currently proposing legislation that could require us to report such transactions to the IRS. Our failure to accurately record or report the cryptocurrency and NFT sales transacted through the Platform, or held by us, would expose us to adverse tax consequences, penalties, and interest. Moreover, the IRS, in connection with audits of cryptocurrency exchanges, has successfully sued to obtain account holder transaction and tax information. The applicability of tax laws in the United States and foreign jurisdictions with respect to cryptocurrency and NFTs will continue to evolve. This uncertainty increases the risk of non-compliance with tax laws, which in turn could result in adverse tax consequences, penalties, investigations or audits, litigation, account holder lawsuits, or the need to revise or restate our financial statements and associated consequences therewith, among other things. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, and prospects.

Government regulations applicable to us may negatively impact our business.

We are a global company subject to various and complex laws and regulations domestically and internationally, including laws and regulations related to consumer protection, protection of minors, content, advertising, localization, information security, intellectual property, competition and taxation, among others. Many of these laws and regulations are continuously evolving and developing, and the application to, and impact on, us is uncertain. For example, the World Health Organization recently included “gaming disorder” in the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases, prompting discussion and consideration of legislation and policies aimed at mitigating the risk of overuse of, and overspending within, video games. These laws could harm our business by limiting the products and services we can offer consumers or the

24

Table of Contents

manner in which we offer them. The costs of compliance with these laws may increase in the future as a result of changes in applicable laws or changes to interpretation. Any failure on our part to comply with these laws or the application of these laws in an unanticipated manner may harm our business and result in penalties or significant legal liability.

Certain of our business models will be subject to new laws or regulations or evolving interpretations and application of existing laws and regulations, including those related to gambling. The growth and development of electronic commerce, virtual items and virtual currency has prompted calls for new laws and regulations and resulted in the application of existing laws or regulations that have limited or restricted the sale of our products and services in certain territories. New laws — each of which could vary significantly across jurisdictions — could subject us to additional regulation and oversight, cause us to further limit or restrict the sale of our products and services or otherwise impact our products and services, lessen the engagement with, and growth of, profitable business models, and expose us to increased compliance costs, significant liability, fines, penalties and harm to our reputation and brand.

We may be subject to laws in certain foreign countries, and adhere to industry standards in the United States, that mandate rating requirements or set other restrictions on the advertisement or distribution of interactive entertainment software based on content. In addition, certain foreign countries allow government censorship of interactive entertainment software products. Adoption of ratings systems, censorship or restrictions on distribution of interactive entertainment software based on content could harm our business by limiting the products we are able to offer to our consumers. In addition, compliance with new and possibly inconsistent regulations for different territories could be costly, delay or prevent the release of our products in those territories.

Our Platform may not be successful and may expose us to legal, regulatory, and other risks. Given the nascent and evolving nature of cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and our Platform, we may be unable to accurately anticipate or adequately address such risks or the potential impact of such risks. The occurrence of any such risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, and prospects.

As the market for NFTs and cryptocurrencies is relatively nascent, it is difficult to predict how the legal and regulatory framework around NFTs and cryptocurrencies will develop and how such developments will impact our business and our Platform. The future legal status of NFTs and cryptocurrencies under state and federal laws (including without limitation, securities, banking, and commodities laws) is highly uncertain and unresolved. As a result of the uncertain legal status of crypto assets, we may have legal exposure for our failure to adequately comply with legal regimes. In addition governmental agencies may seek to apply laws to our business that we believe are inapplicable, and may seek sanctions relating to our alleged failure to comply with those laws. There is regulatory uncertainty with respect to whether certain NFTs and cryptocurrencies could be considered securities. If NFTs sold on our Platform or any cryptocurrencies exchanged for purposes of payment or minting of NFTs on our Platform were deemed to be a “security”, we may be in violation of securities laws for engaging in transactions regarding the sale of unregistered securities. Such a determination could lead to an enforcement action by the SEC and result in fines and other penalties and have a negative impact on our business.

Additionally, if either the NFTs we sell or the Bitcoin, Ethereum, or MATIC tokens we may acquire or hold at any time are deemed to be a “security” we may also be subject to regulations of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Bank Secrecy Act. Further, the Office of Foreign Assets Controls (“OFAC”) has signaled that sanctions could apply to digital transactions and has pursued enforcement actions involving cryptocurrencies and digital asset accounts. This could expose us to future allegations of violations of the Bank Secrecy Act, including any applicable KYC and Anti-Money Laundering laws and regulations (“AML”), or sanctions compliance obligations among others. In addition governmental agencies may seek to apply laws to our business that we believe are inapplicable, and may seek sanctions relating to our alleged failure to comply with those laws which would negatively impact our business.

Our launch and operation of the Platform potentially exposes us to the foregoing risks, among others, any of which could materially and adversely affect the success of our Platform and harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, and prospects. If we fail to accurately anticipate or manage the risks associated with our NFTs or with our facilitation of crypto asset transactions, or if we directly or indirectly become subject to disputes, liability, or other legal or regulatory issues in connection with the operation of our business and Platform, we may not be successful and our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, and prospects could be expected to be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to the Offering and Our Common Stock

The market prices and trading volume of our shares of common stock may experience rapid and substantial price volatility which could cause purchasers of our common stock to incur substantial losses.

Recently, the market prices and trading volume of shares of common stock of other small publicly traded with a limited number of shares available to purchasers, have experienced rapid and substantial price volatility unrelated to the financial performance of those companies. Similarly, subsequent to this offering, shares of our common stock may experience similar rapid and substantial price volatility unrelated to our financial performance, which could cause purchasers of our common stock to incur substantial losses, which may be unpredictable and not bear any relationship to our business and financial performance. Extreme fluctuations in the market price of our common stock may occur in response to strong and atypical retail investor interest, including on social media and online forums, the direct access by retail investors to broadly available trading platforms, the amount and status of short interest in our securities, access to margin debt, trading in options and other derivatives on our common stock and any related hedging and other trading factors.

If there is extreme market volatility and trading patterns in our common stock, it may create several risks for investors, including the following:

• the market price of our common stock may experience rapid and substantial increases or decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects, or macro or industry fundamentals;

• if our future market capitalization reflects trading dynamics unrelated to our financial performance or prospects, purchasers of our common stock could incur substantial losses as prices decline once the level of market volatility has abated;

• if the future market price of our common stock declines, purchasers may be unable to resell your shares at or above the price at which you acquired them. We cannot assure you that the market of our common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future, in which case you could incur substantial losses.

Further, we may incur rapid and substantial increases or decreases in our stock price in the foreseeable future that may not coincide in timing with the disclosure of news or developments by or affecting us. Accordingly, the market price of our shares of common stock may fluctuate dramatically, and may decline rapidly, regardless of any developments in our business. Overall, there are various factors, many of which are beyond our control, that could negatively affect the market price of our common stock or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our common stock, including:

• actual or anticipated variations in our annual or quarterly results of operations, including our earnings estimates and whether we meet market expectations with regard to our earnings;

• our current inability to pay dividends or other distributions;

• publication of research reports by analysts or others about us or cryptocurrency including the NFT industry which may be unfavorable, inaccurate, inconsistent or not disseminated on a regular basis;

• changes in market valuations of similar companies;

• market reaction to any additional equity, debt or other securities that we may issue in the future, and which may or may not dilute the holdings of our existing stockholders;

• additions or departures of key personnel;

• actions by institutional or significant stockholders;

• short interest in our stock and the market response to such short interest;

• the dramatic increase in the number of individual holders of our stock and their participation in social media platforms targeted at speculative investing;

• speculation in the press or investment community about our company or industry;

26

Table of Contents

• strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or other investments;

• legislative, administrative, regulatory or other actions affecting our business, our industry, including positions taken by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”);

• investigations, proceedings, or litigation that involve or affect us;

• the occurrence of any of the other risk factors included in this Registration Statement on Form S-1; and

• general market and economic conditions.

A sustained, active trading market for our securities may not develop or be maintained which may limit investors’ ability to sell shares at all or at an acceptable price.

As we are in our early stage of development, an investment in our Company will likely require a long-term commitment, with no certainty of return. There is currently no trading market for our securities and we cannot predict whether an active market for our securities will ever develop or be sustained in the future. In the absence of an active trading market:

• investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations;

• market visibility for our securities may be limited; and

• a lack of visibility for our securities may have a depressive effect on the market price for our Common Stock.

The lack of an active market impairs your ability to sell your securities at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your securities. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling securities and may impair our ability to acquire additional assets by using our securities as consideration.

Investors will be relying on management’s judgment regarding the use of proceeds from this investment and we may apply the proceeds to uses that may not increase the value of your investment or improve our operating results.

We expect to use the proceeds from this offering to further develop our services, software and product offerings, hire additional personnel, implement focused and targeted marketing efforts, and to fund general working capital needs. Although we have estimated allocations within these general categories, they are subject to change. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion with respect to the use of the net proceeds from this investment and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these proceeds. We have only made preliminary determinations of the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for each of the targeted purposes based upon our current expectations regarding our financial performance and business needs for the foreseeable future. These expectations may prove to be inaccurate, as our financial performance may differ from our current expectations or our business needs may change as our business and our industry evolve. As a result, the proceeds we receive in this Offering may be used in a manner significantly different from our current allocation plans. We cannot assure you that the net proceeds will be used for purposes that ultimately increase our results of operations, business prospects or the value of your investment.

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value (deficit).

You will incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of 1,686,747 shares of Common Stock at an initial public offering price of $4.15 per share, and after deducting the underwriter’s discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, investors in this offering can expect an immediate dilution of $3.60 per share. Accordingly, should we be liquidated at our book value, you would not receive the full amount of your investment.

We are registering shares of Common Stock to certain stockholders concurrently with the primary offering and while these stockholders have expressed an intent not to sell stock concurrently with the primary offering, if they did do so, such sales might affect the price, demand, and liquidity of our Common Stock.

We are registering shares of Common Stock to certain security holders concurrently with the primary offering which include the potential resale by certain selling stockholders of an aggregate amount up to 1,988,207 shares of our Common Stock. Sales by these selling stockholders may reduce the price of our Common Stock, demand for the shares sold in the offering and, as a result, the liquidity of your investment.

The price of our securities may fluctuate substantially.

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 fluctuations in the market value of your investment. Some factors that may cause the market price of our Common Stock to fluctuate, in addition to the other risks mentioned in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this prospectus, are:

• sale of our Common Stock by our shareholders, executives, and directors;

• volatility and limitations in trading volumes of our shares of Common Stock;

• our ability to obtain financing;

• the timing and success of introductions of new products by us or our competitors or any other change in the competitive dynamics of our industry, including consolidation among competitors;

• our ability to attract new customers;

• changes in our capital structure or dividend policy, future issuances of securities, sales of large blocks of Common Stock by our shareholders;

• our cash position;

• announcements and events surrounding financing efforts, including debt and equity securities;

• our inability to enter into new markets or develop new products;

• reputational issues;

• announcements of acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, new products, capital commitments, or other events by us or our competitors;

• changes in general economic, political and market conditions in or any of the regions in which we conduct our business;

• changes in industry conditions or perceptions;

• analyst research reports, recommendation and changes in recommendations, price targets, and withdrawals of coverage;

• departures and additions of key personnel;

• disputes and litigations related to intellectual properties, proprietary rights, and contractual obligations;

• changes in applicable laws, rules, regulations, or accounting practices and other dynamics; and

• other events or factors, many of which may be out of our control.

In addition, if the market for stocks in our industry or industries related to our industry, or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to management.

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this initial public offering, including for any of the currently intended purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds.” Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our management may not apply our cash from this offering in ways that ultimately increase the value of any investment our securities or enhance shareholder value. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our shareholders. If we do not invest or apply our cash in ways that enhance shareholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which may result in a decline in the price of our shares of Common Stock, and, therefore, may negatively impact our ability to raise capital, invest in or expand our business, acquire additional products or licenses, commercialize our products, or continue our operations.

There is no established trading market for our securities; further, our securities will be subject to potential delisting if we do not maintain the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market.

This offering constitutes our initial public offering of Common Stock. No public market for these securities currently exists. We have been approved to list the shares of our Common Stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market, or NASDAQ. Even though our shares are currently listed on NASDAQ, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for these securities will develop or be sustained after this offering is completed. The initial offering price has been determined by negotiations among the lead underwriter and us. Among the factors considered in determining the initial offering price were our future prospects and the prospects of our industry in general, our revenue, net income and certain other financial and operating information in recent periods, and the financial ratios, market prices of securities and certain financial and operating information of companies engaged in activities similar to ours. However, there can be no assurance that following this offering our Common Stock will trade at a price equal to or greater than the offering price.

In addition, NASDAQ has rules for continued listing, including, without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements. Failure to maintain our listing, or de-listing from NASDAQ, would make it more difficult for shareholders to dispose of our securities and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our securities. This could have an adverse effect on the price of our Common Stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our Common Stock and/or other securities are not traded on a national securities exchange.

Our ability to have our securities traded on the NASDAQ is subject to us meeting applicable listing criteria.

Our Common Stock has been approved for listing on the NASDAQ, a national securities exchange. The NASDAQ requires companies desiring to list their common stock to meet certain listing criteria including total number of shareholders, minimum stock price, total value of public float, and in some cases total shareholders’ equity and market capitalization. Our failure to meet such applicable listing criteria could prevent us from maintaining the listing of our Common Stock on the NASDAQ. In the event we are unable to have our shares traded on NASDAQ, our Common Stock could potentially trade on the OTCQX or the OTCQB, each of which is generally considered less liquid and more volatile than the NASDAQ. Our failure to maintain a listing on the NASDAQ could make it more difficult for you to trade our shares, could prevent our Common Stock trading on a frequent and liquid basis and could result in the value of our Common Stock being less than it would be if we were able to list our shares on the NASDAQ.

We may acquire other companies or technologies, which could divert our management’s attention, result in dilution to our stockholders and otherwise disrupt our operations and adversely affect our operating results.

We may in the future seek to acquire or invest in businesses, applications and services or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our services, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated.

Table of Contents

In addition, we do not have any experience in acquiring other businesses. If we acquire additional businesses, we may not be able to integrate the acquired personnel, operations and technologies successfully, or effectively manage the combined business following the acquisition. We also may not achieve the anticipated benefits from the acquired business due to a number of factors, including:

• inability to integrate or benefit from acquired technologies or services in a profitable manner;

• unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition;

• difficulty integrating the accounting systems, operations, and personnel of the acquired business;

• difficulties and additional expenses associated with supporting legacy products and hosting infrastructure of the acquired business;

• difficulty converting the customers of the acquired business onto the Platform and contract terms, including disparities in the revenue, licensing, support, or professional services model of the acquired company;

• diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;

• adverse effects to our existing business relationships with business partners and customers as a result of the acquisition;

• the potential loss of key employees;

• use of resources that are needed in other parts of our business; and

• use of substantial portions of our available cash to consummate the acquisition.

In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of companies we acquire may be allocated to acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. In the future, if our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to our operating results based on this impairment assessment process, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our operating results, business and financial position may suffer.

If research analysts do not publish research about our business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade our Common Stock, our securities’ price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our securities may depend in part on the research and reports that research analysts publish about us and our business. If we do not maintain adequate research coverage, or if any of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our Common Stock could decline. If one or more of our research analysts ceases to cover our business or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our securities could decrease, which could cause the price of our Common Stock or trading volume to decline.

Market and economic conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition and share price.

Concerns over inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the U.S. mortgage market and a declining real estate market, unstable global credit markets and financial conditions, and volatile oil prices have led to periods of significant economic instability, diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence and discretionary spending, diminished expectations for the global economy and expectations of slower global economic growth going forward, increased unemployment rates, and increased credit defaults in recent years. Our general business strategy may be adversely affected by any such economic downturns, volatile business environments and continued unstable or unpredictable economic and market conditions. If these conditions continue to deteriorate or do not improve, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to complete, more costly, and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy, financial performance, and share price and could require us to delay or abandon development or commercialization plans.

The ability of a stockholder to recover all or any portion of such stockholder’s investment in the event of a dissolution or termination may be limited.

In the event of a dissolution or termination of the Company, the proceeds realized from the liquidation of the assets of the Company, or such subsidiaries will be distributed among the stockholders, but only after the satisfaction of the claims of third-party creditors of the Company. The ability of a stockholder to recover all or any portion of such stockholder’s investment under such circumstances will, accordingly, depend on the amount of net proceeds realized from such liquidation and the amount of claims to be satisfied therefrom. There can be no assurance that the Company will recognize gains on such liquidation, nor is there any assurance that Common Stock holders will receive a distribution in such a case.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our shares of Common Stock so any returns will be limited to the value of our shares.

We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return to shareholders will therefore be limited to the increase, if any, of our share price.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between the Company and its stockholders, which could limit stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or employees.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) or our Certificate of Incorporation or the Company’s Bylaws (which will be effective upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part), or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company, its directors, officers, employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine, including, without limitation, any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. This exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. However, our Certificate of Incorporation contain a federal forum provision which provides that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation are deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision. As this provision applies to Securities Act claims, there may be uncertainty whether a court would enforce such a provision.

These choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the Company or its directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Company and its directors, officers and other employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find our choice of forum provisions contained in either our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, the Company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm its business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We are an “emerging growth company” and are able to avail ourselves of reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, which could make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we have elected to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company” we have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As such, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of this offering; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC.

Financial reporting obligations of being a public company in the United States are expensive and time-consuming, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance matters.

As a publicly traded company, we will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a privately company. The obligations of being a public company in the United States require significant expenditures and will place significant demands on our management and other personnel, including costs resulting from public company reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations regarding corporate governance practices, including those under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the listing requirements of the stock exchange on which our securities are listed. These rules require the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting and changes in corporate governance practices, among many other complex rules that are often difficult to implement, monitor and maintain compliance with. Moreover, despite recent reforms made possible by the JOBS Act, the reporting requirements, rules, and regulations will make some activities more time-consuming and costly, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” In addition, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to ensure that we comply with all of these requirements and to keep pace with new regulations, otherwise we may fall out of compliance and risk becoming subject to litigation or being delisted, among other potential problems.

If we fail to comply with the rules under Sarbanes-Oxley related to accounting controls and procedures in the future, or, if we discover material weaknesses and other deficiencies in our internal control and accounting procedures, our stock price could decline significantly and raising capital could be more difficult.

Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to comply with the rules under Sarbanes-Oxley related to disclosure controls and procedures in the future, or, if we discover material weaknesses and other deficiencies in our internal control and accounting procedures, our stock price could decline significantly and raising capital could be more difficult. If material weaknesses or significant deficiencies are discovered or if we otherwise fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal control, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping

prevent financial fraud. 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 our Common Stock could drop significantly.

Changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional tax liabilities, and changes to tax laws and interpretations of tax laws could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition.

We are subject to taxes in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment will be required to determine our worldwide income tax provision, tax assets, and accruals for other taxes, and there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Our effective income tax rate is based in part on our corporate operating structure and the manner in which we operate our business and develop, value and use our intellectual property. Taxing authorities in jurisdictions in which we operate may challenge and audit our methodologies for calculating our income taxes, which could increase our effective income tax rate and have an adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows. In addition, our provision for income taxes is materially affected by our profit levels, changes in our business, changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the elections we make, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in applicable tax laws or interpretations of existing income and withholding tax laws, as well as other factors. For example, the outcome of future guidance related to the U.S. Tax Act could cause us to change our analysis and materially impact our previous estimates and consolidated financial statements.

In addition, changes to U.S. federal, state, or international tax laws or their applicability to corporate multinationals in the countries in which we do business may affect our effective tax rates and cash taxes, cause us to change the way in which we structure our business and resulted in other costs. Our effective tax rate also could be adversely affected by changes in our valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Actual financial results also may differ materially from our current estimates and could have a material impact on our assessment of the valuation allowance.

Our principal stockholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exert significant control over matters subject to stockholder approval.

Our directors, executive officers, and each of our stockholders who owned greater than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock beneficially, as of February 1, 2023, own approximately 25.98% of our Common Stock outstanding immediately before this offering and 22.36% of our Common Stock outstanding immediately after this offering stock. Accordingly, these stockholders have and will continue to have significant influence over the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, a merger, the consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any other significant corporate transaction. The interests of these stockholders may not be the same as or may even conflict with our other investors’ interests.

Our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws, and Delaware law may have anti-takeover effects that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control, which may cause our stock price to decline.

Anti-takeover provisions may limit the ability of another party to acquire us, which could cause our stock price to decline. Our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a third party from acquiring us, even if doing so may be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, these provisions could limit the price investors would be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock.

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and Delaware law make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us and make a takeover more difficult to complete, even if such a transaction were in stockholders’ interest.

Our certificate of incorporation and the Delaware General Corporation Law contain certain provisions that may have the effect of making it more difficult or delaying attempts by others to obtain control of our Company, even when these attempts may be in the best interests of our stockholders. We also are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits us from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner and prohibits the voting of shares held by persons acquiring certain numbers of shares without obtaining requisite approval. The statutes and our certificate of incorporation have the effect of making it more difficult to effect a change in control of our Company.

If our shares become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not obtain or retain a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market or if the price of our Common Stock falls below $5.00, our Common Stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements would likely have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our Common Stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. The FINRA requirements may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our Common Stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our Common Stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares, as well as overall liquidity, of our Common Stock.

We may be considered a smaller reporting company and will be exempt from certain disclosure requirements, which could make our Common Stock less attractive to potential investors.

Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, defines a “smaller reporting company” as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent that is not a smaller reporting company and that:

• had a public float of less than $250 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of shares of its voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates by the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of common equity, in the principal market for the common equity; or

• in the case of an initial registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act for shares of its common equity, had a public float of less than $250 million as of a date within 30 days of the date of the filing of the registration statement, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of such shares held by non-affiliates before the registration plus, in the case of a Securities Act registration statement, the number of such shares included in the registration statement by the estimated public offering price of the shares; or

• in the case of an issuer whose public float was zero, had annual revenues of less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year for which audited financial statements are available.

As a smaller reporting company, we would not be required and may not include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in our proxy statements; we would provide only two years of financial statements; and we would not need to provide the table of selected financial data. We also would have other “scaled” disclosure requirements that are less comprehensive than issuers that are not smaller reporting companies which could make our Common Stock less attractive to potential investors, and also could make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares.

AS A RESULT OF THESE FACTORS, THE OFFERING IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR THOSE INVESTORS WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES BEING OFFERED.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

This prospectus contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. We obtained the industry and market data in this prospectus from our own research as well as from industry and general publications, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations and contains projections and estimates of the future performance of the industries in which we operate that are subject to a high degree of uncertainty, including those discussed in “Risk Factors”. We caution you not to give undue weight to such projections, assumptions, and estimates. Further, industry and general publications, studies and surveys generally state that they have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. While we believe that these publications, studies and surveys are reliable, we have not independently verified the data contained in them. In addition, while we believe that the results and estimates from our internal research are reliable, such results and estimates have not been verified by any independent source.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from our issuance and sale of shares of our Common Stock in this offering will be approximately $5.7 million, based on an initial public offering price of $4.15 per share, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, we estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $6.6 million, based on an initial public offering price of $4.15 per share, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We will allocate the net proceeds from the Offering to product development, marketing, working capital and general corporate purposes. Additionally, we may use a portion of the proceeds to us for acquisitions of complementary businesses, technologies, or other assets. However, we have no commitments to use the proceeds from this Offering for any such acquisitions or investments at this time.

We believe that the net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash, cash equivalents, and investments will be sufficient to fund our current operations for at least twelve to eighteen months from the date of this prospectus. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect.

Predicting the cost necessary to develop product candidates can be difficult and the amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including the progress of our development and commercialization efforts, the status of and results from clinical trials, any collaborations that we may enter into with third parties for our product candidates, and any unforeseen cash needs. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash and cash equivalents.

In the ordinary course of our business, we expect to from time to time evaluate the acquisition of, investment in or in-license of complementary products, technologies or businesses, and we could use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering for such activities. We currently do not have any agreements, arrangements or commitments with respect to any potential acquisition, investment or license.

Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments, and government securities.

DILUTION

If you invest in our shares in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per common share of in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share immediately after this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing our net tangible book value, which is tangible assets less total liabilities less debt discounts, by the number of our outstanding Common Stock as of September 30, 2022. Our historical net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022, was approximately $946,986 or $0.091 per share based upon shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date.

After giving effect to the sale of Common Stock, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering costs payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value (deficit) as of September 30, 2022, would have been approximately $6,686,986, or $0.55 per common share. This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.46 per share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $3.60 per share to investors purchasing our Common Stock in this offering at the initial public offering price.

The following table illustrates per share dilution as of September 30, 2022:

Initial public offering price per share |  |  |  |  | $ | 4.15
Net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2022 |  | $ | 0.091 |  |  |
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering |  | $ | 0.46 |  | $ |
Net tangible book value per share after this offering |  |  |  |  | $ | 0.55
Dilution per share to investors participating in this offering |  |  |  |  | $ | 3.60

The following table summarizes, on the as adjusted basis as described above, as of September 30, 2022, the differences between the existing stockholders and new investors with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us and the average price per share paid or to be paid to us at an assumed initial public offering price of $4.15 per share, before deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us:

|  | Shares Purchased |  | Total Consideration |  | Average Price Per Share
|  | Number |  | Percent |  | Amount |  | Percent |
Existing stockholders |  | 10,417,846 |  | 86.1 | % |  | $ | 2,119,160 |  | 23.2 | % |  | $ | 0.20
New investors |  | 1,686,747 |  | 13.9 | % |  | $ | 7,000,000 |  | 76.8 | % |  | $ | 4.15
Total |  | 12,104,593 |  | 100.0 | % |  | $ | 9,119,160 |  | 100.0 | % |  | $ | 4.35

The number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 10,417,846 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2022, and excludes the following:

• 1,879,700 shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under our 2022 Equity Incentive Plan;

Except as otherwise indicated herein, all information in this prospectus assumes the following:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations together with “Summary Financial Data” and our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this prospectus. All amounts in this report are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Overview

We are developing a gaming platform, called “Gaxos,” founded with a vision to develop, design, acquire, and manage conventional games and to combine these games with unconventional game mechanisms, such as the ability to create and mint unique in-game features, such as skins, characters, weapons, gear, levels, and virtual lands, in the form of non-fungible tokens, or “NFTs,” that will allow users to have unique experiences and more control over in-game assets.

We plan to initially launch our own proprietary games that are simple and fun to play, and that offer gamers the ability to mint their own affordable NFTs, with unique and exclusive features, that can be utilized across the network of games and platform that we plan to build.

NFTs are digital assets that can represent a unique real-world asset, such as art, music, in-game item or videos. NFTs are most commonly powered by smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is a decentralized blockchain platform that establishes a peer-to-peer network that securely executes and verifies application code, called smart contracts. “Smart contracts” is a term used to describe computer code that automatically executes all or parts of an agreement and is stored on a blockchain-based platform. In the case of in-game NFTs, these NFTs generally can be images, skins, virtual real estate, pets, or other items that can be owned and held in a digital or crypto wallet. A digital or crypto wallet is a software-based system that securely stores users’ cryptocurrency and NFTs and communicates with the blockchain. Currently, NFTs are being used to sell a wide range of virtual collectibles, including:

• virtual sports trading cards and video clips;

• music and album cover art;

• art, memes or other digital images;

• in-game assets; and

• virtual real estate, fashion, and other real-world representations in the metaverse, a virtual-reality space in which users can interact with a computer-generated environment and other users.

Our goal is to develop a robust digital gaming platform, called “Gaxos,” that brings together gamers, developers and publishers, offering them the ability to augment their games and gaming experiences with unique and exclusive features, as well as the opportunity to earn rewards and participate in other opportunities. The Platform is intended to include a wide variety of games that span various genres, including role-playing (RPG/ARPG), sports, simulation, puzzles, action-adventures, shooters (FPS/TPS), battle arena, fighting, and other skill-based games.

We believe that the ability to mint and use NFTs in-game that are distinguishable and tamper-proof offers gamers more power over their asset and gamers the ability to have rare, unique and exciting experiences.

License with Columbia University

On August 29, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a software and patent license agreement (the “Columbia Agreement”) with Columbia University in the City of New York (“Columbia University”) pursuant to which Columbia University granted us a royalty-bearing, exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable license to certain intellectual property to (i) discover, develop, manufacture, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, have sold, import, export, distribute, rent or lease certain Licensed Products (as defined in the Columbia Agreement) solely for computer gaming for entertainment purposes involving non-fungible tokens (NFTs) (the “Field”) and throughout the territory, and (ii) copy, use, modify, and create derivative works from licensed software in Source Code (as defined in the Columbia Agreement) and Object Code form

Table of Contents

(as defined in the Columbia Agreement) in the Field and throughout the territory during the term, for the sole purpose of incorporating the licensed software into or bundling the Licensed Software (as defined in the Columbia Agreement) with licensed products in the Field. The term of the License Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall extend, on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis, until the later of (i) the date of expiration of the last to expire of the issued patents falling within the definition of Licensed Patents or (ii) fifteen (15) years after the first bona fide commercial launch of a Licensed Product (as defined in the Columbia Agreement) in the country in question, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the Columbia Agreement. Pursuant to the Columbia Agreement, we agreed to pay Columbia University (i) a license fee of $25,000, (ii) certain revenue-based milestone payments, (iii) royalty payments, depending on net revenues, (iv) minimum royalty payments, (v) a percentage of sublicense income, (vi) certain success based payments, and (vii) reimbursement for reasonable fees, costs, and expenses incurred for patent litigation.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements contained herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates if conditions differ from our assumptions. While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 in the “Notes to Financial Statements”, we believe the following accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in preparation of our financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of warrants issued with debt, and the value of stock-based compensation expenses.

Revenue recognition

We follow Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASC 606 requires an entity to 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 in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. The Company plans on generating revenue from the following sources:

• We plan to generate revenue from the sale of our in-game NFTs to our customers via our Platform. Revenue generated from such sales, either directly as a sale of our in-game NFTs or indirectly as commission, will be recognized upon delivery of the in-game NFT to the customer which is when the Company completes its sole performance obligation. We will sell our in-game NFTs for a fixed US dollar price (USD). Through a third-party payment service provider, the customer will have the option to pay for the NFT by using digital currencies, which includes Bitcoin or Ethereum. If payment is made in digital currency, the customer will send the USD equivalent amount of the digital currency to our custodial wallet via a third-party payment service provider, and revenue will be recorded using the fixed US dollar transaction price charged for the NFT. Upon conversion of the digital currency to USD, we will recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the fixed USD transaction price that we charged, and the

43

Table of Contents

amount of USD received at the time of conversion. See Accounting for Digital Currencies and Other Digital Assets above. NFTs are automatically delivered to the customer via smart contract at the time of sale or minting. As it is a simultaneous process, our performance obligation has been met in accordance with ASC 606 upon the customer remitting payment for the NFT. In the unlikely case of force majeure and the NFT has not been delivered, we will recognize a contract liability until such time that the performance obligation has been met. Fees incurred by us, including network fees, will be netted against such NFT revenues. Accordingly, NFT revenues will be reflected net of the related expenses.

• The Company plans to generate revenue from advertising fees paid by game advertisers, developers, hardware companies, or other strategic partners to the Company for promotion on our platform. Revenues from these fees will be recognized ratably over the agreed upon advertising service period and upon delivery of agreed upon advertising services.

• We plan to generate royalty revenues when a third party sells one of our NFTs on a third-party platform. We will recognize royalty revenue when it is probable that we will collect the royalty fee owed which is typically when we receive notification from the third-party platform that an NFT has been sold. In the instance where the Company will receive royalty payments when a customer disposes of an in-game NFT in the secondary market on a third-party platform or any other payment that is not in fiat currency, the Company will recognize the revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10-32-21, Noncash Consideration. Fair value of the non-cash consideration received shall be determined by using the quoted price for such non-cash consideration on the date of the transaction.

• When a third-party publisher sells an NFT created using our platform via our smart contracts, we will receive a commission. Since they would use our same smart contract, the delivery and performance obligation are simultaneous with payment. We will recognize commission revenue upon delivery of the NFTs.

• We will generate transaction fee revenues from our customers which shall equal the network fees charged by the Polygon blockchain at the time of minting. Fees incurred by us, including Polygon Network (MATIC) and other NFT transaction costs, will be netted against such transaction fee revenues and transaction fees revenue will be reflected net of the related expenses. Currently, transaction fees are negligible. Transaction fee revenues and related costs shall be recognized on the date of the respective transaction.

Each type of revenue source will be specifically identifiable and revenue shall be recognized based on our respective revenue recognition policy. We will not generate variable revenues under NFT contracts because our NFTs are priced in USD. All revenues generated by the Company shall be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, non-employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, non-employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). ASC 718 also requires measurement of the cost of employee, non-employee, and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Reincorporation

We were originally incorporated in the State of Wyoming on October 27, 2021 (“NFT Wyoming’). On March 29, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, subject to shareholder approval, a Plan of Conversion, pursuant to which the Company converted from a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming to a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”), and such approval Included the adoption of the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Delaware Certificate”) and the Bylaws (the “Delaware Bylaws”) for the Company under the laws of the State of Delaware, under the name, “The NFT Gaming Company, Inc.,” which became effective with the effectiveness of the Reincorporation. On March 29, 2022, we received majority shareholder approval. On March 30, 2022, we completed the Reincorporation by filing the Delaware Certificate with the State of Delaware.

Table of Contents

We will capitalize all development and production service payments to third-party developers as internal-use software development costs and licenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we reported research and development fees of $220,902 and $608,765, respectively. We expect research and development fees to increase in the future as development of games accelerates.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses consisted of the following:

|  | For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 |  | For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Compensation and related benefit |  | $ | 88,308 |  | $ | 296,385
Professional fees |  |  | 5,829 |  |  | 142,053
Other general and administrative expenses |  |  | 11,513 |  |  | 52,169
Total general and administrative expenses |  | $ | 105,650 |  | $ | 490,607

Compensation and related benefits

Compensation and related benefits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, were $88,308 and $296,385, respectively, and primarily consisted of salaries and benefits for our full-time executive employees.

Professional fees

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred professional fees of $5,829 and $142,053, respectively, which consisted of accounting and legal fees.

Other general and administrative expenses

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred other general and administrative expenses of $11,513 and $52,169, respectively, which consisted of advertising, computer expenses, travel, web and internet costs, insurance, and general offices expenses.

Loss from operations

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we reported a loss from operations of $326,552 and $1,099,372, respectively.

Other income

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we reported other income of $354 and $1,242, respectively, which consisted of interest income.

Net Loss

For the foregoing reasons, our net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $326,198 and $1,098,130, respectively.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Plan of Operations

From our inception in 2021 through December 31, 2021, we raised an aggregate of approximately $2.0 million through sales of our common stock. As of September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $978,000, which will be used to implement our business plan and for the development of games. The minimum funding required to remain in business for at least the next twelve months as of the date of this prospectus is approximately $1,650,000. We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, our available cash may not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations for the next 12 months from the date of this report. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. Management cannot provide assurance that we will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital.

46

Table of Contents

We were incorporated on October 27, 2021, and have not generated revenues to date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had a net loss of $1,098,130, and will require additional capital in order to operate in the normal course of business and implement its business plan. In addition, we have incurred net cash used in operations of $904,876 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We have an accumulated deficit of $1,110,385 on September 30, 2022, and have not generated revenues since inception. We will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements.

We will need to raise significant additional capital to continue to fund our operations and the development of our games and Platform. We may seek to sell common stock, preferred stock or debt securities. Our ability to successfully raise sufficient funds through the sale of equity or debt securities when needed is subject to many risks and uncertainties and, even if we are successful, future equity issuances would result in dilution to our existing stockholders and any future debt or debt securities may contain covenants that limit our operations or ability to enter into certain transactions.

The source, timing and availability of any future financing will depend principally upon market conditions, and, more specifically, on the development and adoption of our games and Platform. Funding may not be available when needed, at all, or on terms acceptable to us. Lack of necessary funds may require us to, among other things, delay, scale back or eliminate expenses including some or all of our planned development, including our clinical trials. There is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (See page F-16 and F-20).

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $904,876, which primarily resulted from research and development expenses and compensation and related benefits.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $62,836, which resulted from the purchase of an intangible asset.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $131,909. The cash used by financing activities resulted from the payment of deferred offering costs of $169,409 offset by proceeds from subscription receivables of $37,500.

Our ultimate success is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing and generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis. We will require significant amounts of capital to sustain operations, and we will need to make the investments we need to execute our longer-term business plan to support new technologies and help advance innovation. Absent generation of sufficient revenue from the execution of our long-term business plan, we will need to obtain debt or equity financing, especially if we experience downturns in our business that are more severe or longer than anticipated, or if we experience significant increases in expense levels resulting from being a publicly-traded company or from operations. Such additional debt or equity financing may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. We plan to pursue our plans with respect to the research and development of our products which will require resources beyond those that we currently have, ultimately requiring additional capital from third party sources.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have, during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

BUSINESS

Our Mission

Our mission is to acquire and develop digital games of various genres to attract gamers of all types, including, but not limited to, multiplayer online games, simulation games, adventure games, real-time strategy games, role-playing, sports games, fighting games, puzzle games, and other skill-based games. We will seek to make each game unique in design and gameplay. In addition to owned-and-operated games we will develop, the Platform we intend to build will be designed to allow onboarding of games developed and published by third-parties and to provide access to certain unique features, such as blockchain and NFT architecture. We believe that these features will open up new dimensions for game developers and publishers by providing them with additional potential revenue streams and by modernizing their gaming assets to allow them to compete in the new paradigm. We also intend to design the Platform in a manner that will provide both game owners and users access to Company-sponsored events, experiences, and other mutually beneficial opportunities.

Our Platform

We are developing a digital gaming platform, called “Gaxos,” that can be used as a base for our proprietary games, as well as for third-party game developers and publishers. The Platform is intended to provide game developers and publishers with tools and features that they can use to augment their games, including, but not limited to tools that make use of blockchain and NFTs. The Platform will only allow users to purchase NFTs created by the Company and third-party game developers on our Platform and only these NFTs will have in-game utility across the Platform and the games. In-game NFTs allow players to own their in-game assets instead of the game developer. We are integrating blockchain and NFT technologies to better the collective experiences of our gamers. We believe that the Platform tools and features will give us the ability to benefit from a wide variety of games with less overhead and developmental costs.

New users of the Platform will create an account by entering an email address in order to engage with the Platform. Users participate in purchasing NFTs by linking their digital wallets to the Platform and engaging with the smart contracts in order to mint NFTs offered on the Platform. When creating an account, our users will be required to accept our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The Company intends to rely on third-party partners to perform all money transmission. We presently plan to accept credit cards, debit cards and cryptocurrency, only in the form of Bitcoin and Ethereum. We do not intend to accept any other forms of cryptocurrency besides Bitcoin and Ethereum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we intend to purchase and hold MATIC, in increments as needed, solely for the purpose of paying the fees associated with minting our NFTs on the Polygon network. Our intention is to immediately convert all cryptocurrency received as payment to cash. We intend to hold only the minimal amount of MATIC required to interact with the blockchain as part of our core business of minting NFTs, and we do not intend to accept MATIC as a form of payment or to hold MATIC as a long term asset. We are currently in the process of selecting the right custodian for our crypto assets and do not have any custody arrangements.

We will not accept such cryptocurrency payments directly, but plan to use a third-party vendor to accept and process any such cryptocurrency payments on our behalf. We currently intend to have the third-party vendor send any such cryptocurrency to our custodial wallet and then have our custodian convert the cryptocurrency into U.S. dollars.

We will not offer any NFTs for purchase prior to the initial launch of the Platform and the launch of the games in which the NFT may be used. All NFTs offered on the Platform will be immediately usable for the intended entertainment purpose at the time they are sold. The NFTs that we initially intend to offer on the Platform will be in the form of avatar designs which will be used for entertainment value and are intended to enhance the users in-game aesthetic experience. However, as is typical with other games, a player’s individual efforts and successes in playing the games and using the in-game assets, may result in some of the assets unlocking certain additional content, features or functionality of our games. Passively holding an NFT will not unlock these items. To the extent that unlocking any of these items enhances the perceived value of a NFT, that will be as a result of the player’s own effort.

We have policies and procedures to analyze whether each NFT listed on our platform and each crypto asset accepted as payment could be deemed to be a “security” under applicable laws. Our policies and procedures do not constitute a legal standard, and are not binding on regulators or courts, but rather represent our company-developed plan, which

48

Table of Contents

permits us to make a risk-based assessment regarding the likelihood that a particular NFT or crypto asset could be deemed a “security” under applicable laws. We have designated certain employees and officers who will be responsible for making such determinations, and will have them undergo training regarding the recognition of a “security”. We plan to work with legal counsel experienced in crypto asset regulatory matters to make a determination with respect to each NFT developed by the Company to be listed on the Platform. NFTs that do not pass the screening process will be refused listing on the Platform. Since our NFT’s are not deemed to be securities and we will only accept crypto that has been deemed by regulators not to constitute a security we believe that KYC and AML requirements are not applicable to our business. We expect our risk assessment policies will continuously evolve to take into account developments in case law, applicable facts, developments in technology, and changes in applicable regulatory schemes. We intend to rely on continuing guidance issued by regulatory agencies with respect to any specific crypto assets and will monitor any updates from such agencies. We will also periodically reassess the classification of our crypto assets in accordance with such continual developments, guidance and updates.

Our primary objective is to build and grow our Platform to enable us to launch games and to obtain revenues through the sale or minting of NFTs to users of our games and to earn fees and/or commissions on the sale of NFTs by third parties that engage with the smart contracts on our Platform. Our efforts to grow the Platform will be focused on these purposes, not to increase the value of any previously sold NFTs. Additionally, while we intend to continuously improve the functionality of the Platform following the launch of our initial games and the Platform, through the launch of additional games as the potential adoption and implementation of new technologies, (i) all NFTs offered will be designed to provide users with immediate in-game entertainment value at a modest cost, (ii) we will continuously offer new NFTs on an ongoing basis and each drop of NFTs will be at a fixed price, and (iii) we intend to market and sell NFTs to Platform users solely for consumptive use as a means of entertainment value on, and in connection with, the Platform. We may, in the future, also earn royalty fees in the event that NFTs that are created on our Platform are resold, however, no assurance can be given that any such transactions will occur or that we will earn any such royalty fees. Further, no resales of NFTs can be made on our Platform and we do not intend to market our NFTs in any way that promotes their resale. We also will not list any of the NFTs with any third party marketplace. As a result, while the number of games that an NFT may be used in, and the functionality of the Platform, may increase and change over time, new and existing users of the Platform will always have the opportunity to acquire new NFTs for entertainment value at a modest cost. Thus, we do not anticipate that there will be a disparity in price between already issued NFTs and new NFTs that may be purchased on our Platform. Finally, while we may use profits from our business, which includes the sale of NFTs on our Platform, to reinvest and further develop our business, the goal of this is to provide a better gaming experience, grow the number of games on the Platform, and to increase the number of third parties that use our Platform so that we can earn fees and/or commissions on the sale of NFTs. Our focus of reinvestment is not to increase the value of NFTs previously sold. To the extent that any NFT increases in value it will likely be due to the efforts of the player that uses the NFT assets in game. For example, to the extent that a player’s individual efforts and successes in playing the games and using the in-game assets results in unlocking certain additional content features or functionality of our games, these personal efforts of the user may impact the value of that player’s NFT. While we do not believe that the NFTs that we plan to mint and sell are “securities,” there is regulatory uncertainty with respect to this issue. If NFTs sold on the Platform were deemed to be securities, we may be found to be in violation of securities laws for engaging in transactions regarding unregistered securities. Such a determination could lead to an enforcement action by the SEC and result in fines and other penalties, and have a negative impact on our business. See Risk Factors — Risks Related to Digital Assets.”

Polygon Network (MATIC)

Similar to Ethereum, Polygon is one of the biggest decentralized blockchains with smart contract functionality. Ethereum is a “Layer 1” blockchain that has higher transaction fees, often referred to as “gas fees” that are used to power transactions. These fees tend to be significantly higher than Polygon. Polygon is a “Layer 2” scaling solution to Ethereum built on top of Ethereum that uses a proof-of-stake sidechain to process transactions and therefore reduces purchase and transfer transaction gas fees to only a few pennies.

The Polygon network uses MATIC tokens for governance and security. Validators or operators that ensure security and validate blocks on the Polygon network receive gas fees in the form of MATIC tokens. MATIC tokens allow developers to connect their Ethereum compatible smart contracts in Polygon. Polygon is often chosen by developers for its speed and lower transaction costs while maintaining full compatibility with Ethereum, enabling developers to move their code freely between the two blockchains.

Table of Contents

The current median gas price on the Polygon network as of April 29, 2022 is less than $0.01 as compared to $2.03 on the Ethereum network. We do not anticipate any material changes in gas prices on the Polygon network that would affect our business model. In general, if gas prices become too high, demand for transaction processing on the network will decrease and thereby reduce the demand for our NFTs. Reduced demand resulting from fees that are too high will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and prospects, however, reduced demand due to an increase in transaction fees will have a less significant impact than that of Ethereum due to the significantly lower transaction fees of the Polygon network.

Our Strategy

Our strategy includes the development of proprietary games, combined with the development of our Platform which will allow third parties to also develop and offer their games to gamers with enhanced features to be offered by the tools to be included in-to our Platform.

In addition to developing proprietary games, part of our strategy includes acquiring games in various genres from third-party developers/publishers that are currently in development, have already been developed but not commercialized, or games that have active users and/or revenues.

We intend to implement a number of initiatives and strategies that we believe will allow us to achieve revenue in the very near term and give us the ability to grow our user base and revenue opportunities significantly. This includes the following:

• NFT sales or minting fees — revenues that will be generated from the sale of NFTs to users of our games;

• NFT commissions — fees and/or commissions that will be charged on the sale of NFTs by third parties that utilize of our Platform;

• NFT royalties — royalties that will be paid to us in the event that NFTs that are created on our Platform are resold; and

• Advertising and Partnerships — fees that will be paid by game advertisers, developers, hardware companies, or other strategic partners.

We believe that the sale of NFTs to our gamers will be the principal source of our revenue. NFTs provide a license to the digital content that the NFTs represent. In addition to the revenue that we receive from the sale of NFTs, we will receive a royalty if and when a user transfers or sells their NFTs to others on third-party platforms, such as OpenSea or Rarible.

NFTs can be designed to provide for the payment of royalties to compensate original NFT creators for the use of the licensed intellectual property rights to their NFT. We believe that royalties present a potential opportunity for a continuous passive-income stream. Royalty rates and mechanisms can be coded into the smart contracts on the blockchain to permit a set percentage of the sale price to be collected for future sales.

We believe that royalties along with our other revenue streams will allow us to sell NFTs to our users at reasonable prices, unlike the current NFT market, and still economically benefit in the event our original NFTs generates a high demand and thus, a high resale price. We currently anticipate that the initial royalty fee for our initial smart contracts will be set at the current market standard of approximately 5-10%. The royalty rate for future smart contracts may be set at different rates from our initial smart contracts depending on changes in the market standard rate.

We intend to utilize various marketing strategies to target users, third-party game publishers, and developers, and believe that as the quantity of the gaming assets on our Platform increases, the likelihood of adoption of our Platform and NFT products will increase.

50

Table of Contents

In addition, we will continuously seek to expand and improve the functionality of the Platform through the adoption and implementation of new technologies, such as augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and Web3.0 infrastructure, that allows us to expand our product offerings to gamers and developers. We currently have no plans to enhance the Platform with the foregoing but we will be continuously researching new technologies in order to stay competitive with the market. Web3.0 is the next generation of the internet based on blockchain technology, that incorporates concepts such as decentralization and token-based economics. We will also be seeking to license and/or partner with third parties for access to or development of smart technology that we can leverage to increase our market share and other opportunities that are accretive to our business and mission.

Plan of Operations

We have had a dedicated approach to long-term success that we believe will allow us to achieve our milestones in product development, user acquisition, and growth. In the next twelve months we plan to accomplish the following:

Milestones |  | Timeline
Initial Development |  |
• Complete production and development of our three initial games; |  | Complete pending platform development and testing
• Complete the creation of the initial series of NFT skins and avatars; |  | Complete pending platform development and testing
• Launch of digital advertising campaigns for the Platform promotion and user acquisition; |  | Q1 2023
• Launch of a successful beta testing of the initial games with a limited group of users; |  | Q2 2023
• Develop and launch the Platform; |  | Q3 2023
• On-board third-party games on the Platform; and |  | Q4 2023
Future Development |  |
• Create and grow our gamer community; |  | Ongoing
• Quarterly launches of new games; |  | Ongoing
• Develop additional NFT in-game accessories. |  | Ongoing

We currently estimate that the cost of the initial development of our games and Platform development and launch will cost approximately $1.5 million, and that we will be able to launch the 15 games described below for a total cost of less than $850,000. The funds raised from this offering shall be dedicated to the growth and development of the Platform, our games, and creation of NFTs. Our success in achieving the foregoing actions will depend on, among other things, the success of the offering.

We have acquired certain rights related to, and are currently developing, 12 games. Of these games, we have commenced active development of 9 games. Currently, we estimate our initial 6 games will be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2023. Thereafter, we plan to complete 4 more games that are currently in early production by the end of the second quarter of 2023, followed by the completion of 5 games by the fourth quarter of 2023.

Games |  | Current Stage of Development |  | Anticipated Completion Date
6 Games |  | Late Production/Testing |  | Complete pending platform development and testing
3-4 Games |  | Early Production |  | Q2 2023
2 Games |  | Pre-Production/ Early Production |  | Q3 2023
3 Games |  | Pre-Production |  | Q4 2023

The first three games that we intend to bring to market are “NFToids: Arena Fighter,” “NFToids: Laser Quest,” and “NFToids: Squad Battle,” each of which will include the ability of users to acquire their own unique avatars, called “NFToids.” NFToids are 3D, playable NFT avatars that can be used to compete in games across our Platform. Our first

51

Table of Contents

collection of NFToids will include a wide array of player avatars and designs that can be utilized across our network of games. We plan to release and launch a variety of collections of NFToids, and to make them available to all users of our Platform. To access all of our games’ features, a user would need to purchase an NFT. However, other parts of the game such as the tutorials sections are available without NFT ownership. Users can purchase one or multiple NFTs and select which NFT they would like to utilize when starting a game. Each NFT affects the design and gameplay experience differently within our games.

We intend to generate revenue primarily from the sale of our NFTs. We believe that an increase in games available on the Platform will increase users and demand for the Platform. As our userbase grows, we expect to generate more NFT sales and thereby increase our revenues.

Arena Fighter, Laser Quest, and Squad Battle

Arena Fighter will be a competitive fighting game set in various rings and backgrounds where gamers battle for XP. Laser Quest will be a made up of various obstacle courses that will include different challenges. Squad Battle will be a multiplayer shooting game where users can battle each other or against the AI in various environments.

NFT Market

The NFT industry is experiencing exponential growth and we believe that there is a significant opportunity for the Platform and ecosystem. Once an NFT is created, it exists on the blockchain and does not solely rely on a game’s centralized servers. Traditional in-game assets are lost when a game is shut down. NFTs, on the other hand, survive game operability and can be bought, sold, and transferred independently of the game. Furthermore, blockchain-enabled game assets in the form of NFTs cannot be duplicated or tampered with because of the permanent record created in the blockchain.

According to NonFungible, NFT sales totaled just over $17 billion in 2021, compared to approximately just $183 million in 2020, with an average price of $807. However, in March 2021, a digital-only artwork created by Mike Winkelman, aka the digital artist Beeple, sold for approximately $70 million at a Christie’s auction. Additionally, the largest NFT marketplace, OpenSea, has now traded over $10 billion in total volume.

NFT games generated $2.32 billion in revenue in the third quarter of 2021, according to data compiled in the annual report by the Blockchain Game Alliance. That was roughly 22% of all NFT trading volume industry-wide in the quarter as blockchain games gathered steam.

NFT Liquidity

Network liquidity depends on the size of the network, the number of transactions taking place, and the liquidity inherent to that system. Liquidity is typically a big factor in determining the price of cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, including NFTs. However, we do not anticipate network liquidity to be a major consideration in our business as the purpose of making NFTs available for purchase on the Platform to our gamers is to enhance the gamers’ gaming experience and not for the resale value of the NFTs.

NFTs in the Gaming Industry

NFT games generated over $5 billion in revenue in 2021, according to data compiled by NonFungible. That was roughly 30% of all NFT trading volume industry-wide.

As of the end of 2021, the most successful blockchain game was Axie Infinity. The game generated more than $4 billion in lifetime sales and accounted for approximately 66% of the market in 2021. Axie Infinity allows players to collect “Axies, fierce creatures that love to battle, build, and hunt for treasure.”

NBA TopShot was second in sales volume with $800 million traded. NBA TopShot offers “Packs” for sale that a purchaser would open, just like a physical pack of trading cards, to see a scoring moment from NBA history. Some other notable games such as Sorare, where players can buy, sell, trade, and manage a virtual soccer team have traded volume of approximately $72 million.

Fortune Business Insights estimate that the global gaming market was over $200 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow to approximately $550 billion by 2028. Blockchain gaming represented a little over 2% in 2021 and is expected to grow to over 10% of the market by 2026.

Intellectual Property

Our business is dependent upon the creation, acquisition, use and protection of intellectual property. Some of this intellectual property is expected to be in the form of software code, patented technology, copyright, and trade secrets that we will use to develop our games and the Platform. While we will develop our own intellectual property, we may also acquire and/or license other intellectual property which is owned by third parties.

We protect our intellectual property rights by relying on federal, state and common law protections, as well as contractual restrictions. We actively seek protection covering any intellectual property we believe may be useful or relevant to our business.

Our goal is to obtain, maintain and enforce protection for our intellectual property, and to operate without infringing on the rights of other parties. Our policy is to actively seek the broadest intellectual property protection possible for our intellectual property through a combination of contractual arrangements, registration of our domain names, copyrights, trademarks, service marks and/or patents. We have established business procedures designed to maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary information, including the use of confidentiality agreements with employees, independent contractors, consultants, and entities with which we conduct business.

The Platform will allow third-party game developers to mint NFTs using their own intellectual property and our tools to list those NFTs for sale (primary sales) on the Platform. The Platform only allows NFTs that were originally minted using the Company’s NFT infrastructure to be listed for sale. All third party game developers who create NFTs on the Platform will be required to agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy prior to engaging with the Platform. Our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy will require creators to attest they own the intellectual property used to create their NFTs and to monitor for obvious copyright violations. It is not yet certain to what extent the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) applies to NFT platforms. However, it seems likely that NFT platform owners will be subject to at least some responsibility for responding to copyright infringement on their sites, therefore, we plan to take proactive approach by registering with the DMCA to retain a designated agent for DMCA notices as well as instructions for submitting copyright infringement claims.

Our Privacy Policy

We recognize that gamers and other users of our games and Platform care deeply about how their personal information is collected, used and shared.

When gamers or developers use our games or Platform, they are required to provide us with certain personal information. We take commercially reasonable and appropriate measures to protect this personal information from accidental loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, taking into account the risks involved in processing and the nature of such data, and comply with applicable laws and regulations. We do not currently transfer any personal information to third-parties that do not act on our behalf, and should we intend to do so,

53

Table of Contents

we will only do so with users’ consent. Similarly, we do not currently collect sensitive personal information from users. We may disclose personal information to certain types of third-party companies, but only to the extent needed to enable them to provide such services. The types of companies that may receive personal information and their functions are: marketing assistance, analytics and reporting, customer support, email and SMS delivery, cloud infrastructure, and systems monitoring. All such third parties function as our agents, performing services at our instruction and on our behalf pursuant to contracts which require them to provide at least the same level of privacy protection as is required by our privacy policy. In addition, we may be required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including for the purpose of meeting national security or law enforcement requirements. We may also disclose personal information to other third parties when compelled to do so by government authorities or required by law or regulation including, but not limited to, in response to court orders and subpoenas.

Government Regulation

We are subject to various federal, state, and international laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the Internet and mobile platforms, including those relating to privacy, use and protection of player and employee personal information and data (including the collection of data from minors), the Internet, behavioral tracking, mobile applications, content, advertising and marketing activities and anti-corruption. Additional laws in all of these areas are likely to be passed in the future, which could result in significant limitations on or changes to the ways in which we can collect, use, host, store or transmit the personal information and data of our customers or employees, communicate with our players and deliver products and services, which may significantly increase our compliance costs.

Competition

We operate in industries that are highly competitive and evolving. Specifically, our business faces intense competition in gaming, NFT marketplaces, and other various digital products. Our games face competition from other games, such as Axie Infinity, The Sandbox, Sorare, and Splinterlands. In addition, our Platform may face competition from other NFT marketplaces that cater to game users and gaming companies. Further, our competition may become more intense if gaming industry leaders such as Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, all of whom have significant financial, technical and other resources, greater brand recognition and longer operating histories, decide to focus their efforts on NFTs.

Our ability to compete depends in large part on our continuous commitment to research and development, our ability to rapidly introduce new features and functionality, to on-board 3rd party game developers and to improve proven applications for established markets in which we have competitive advantages. We intend to work closely with our customers to continuously enhance the performance, functionality, usability, reliability and flexibility of the Platform.

Education

As part of our Platform and product offering, we intend to provide educational content free-of-charge on our website(s). We believe that it is important to educate our visitors and the community about NFTs, gaming, third-party services and products, and all the respective processes that would be required to participate in our experiences. The educational content will include but not be limited to articles, “how-to” videos, graphical walkthroughs, responses to frequently asked questions (FAQs), gameplay, white papers, webinars, and fireside chats. We may develop premium content that will not be free-of-charge such as hardcopy literature, e-books, or other thought-leadership products.

Employees

As of February 1, 2023, we have a total of 2 full-time employees and 7 consultants. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements. We believe that we maintain good relations with our employees.

Legal Proceedings

We are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry, or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization, or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company, threatened against or affecting our Company, our Common Stock, or our officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

The Board has determined that Messrs. Grayson, Holzer, and Kisin are “independent”. Our board currently consists of 3 independent directors and 1 non-independent director.

Board Committees

Our board of directors directs the management of our business and affairs, as provided by Delaware law, and conducts its business through meetings of the board of directors and its standing committees.

Table of Contents

Authorized Shares

A total of 2,500,000 million shares of our Common Stock were originally reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2022 Plan. Our board of directors adopted the 2022 Plan on March 30, 2022, subject to stockholder approval.

Types of Awards

The 2022 Plan provides for the issuance of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and other stock-based awards. Items described above in the Section called “Shares Available” are incorporated herein by reference.

Administration

The 2022 Plan will be administered by our board of directors, or if our board of directors does not administer the 2022 Plan, a committee or subcommittee of our board of directors that complies with the applicable requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and any other applicable legal or stock exchange listing requirements (each of our board of directors or such committee or subcommittee, the “plan administrator”). The plan administrator may interpret the 2022 Plan and may prescribe, amend and rescind rules and make all other determinations necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2022 Plan, provided that, subject to the equitable adjustment provisions described below, the plan administrator will not have the authority to reprice or cancel and re-grant any award at a lower exercise, base or purchase price or cancel any award with an exercise, base or purchase price in exchange for cash, property or other awards without first obtaining the approval of our stockholders.

The 2022 Plan permits the plan administrator to select the eligible recipients who will receive awards, to determine the terms and conditions of those awards, including but not limited to the exercise price or other purchase price of an award, the number of shares of Common Stock or cash or other property subject to an award, the term of an award and the vesting schedule applicable to an award, and to amend the terms and conditions of outstanding awards.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock and RSUs may be granted under the 2022 Plan. The plan administrator will determine the purchase price, vesting schedule and performance goals, if any, and any other conditions that apply to a grant of restricted stock and RSUs. If the restrictions, performance goals or other conditions determined by the plan administrator are not satisfied, the restricted stock and RSUs will be forfeited. Subject to the provisions of the 2022 Plan and the applicable award agreement, the plan administrator has the sole discretion to provide for the lapse of restrictions in instalments.

Unless the applicable award agreement provides otherwise, participants with restricted stock will generally have all of the rights of a stockholder; provided that dividends will only be paid if and when the underlying restricted stock vests. RSUs will not be entitled to dividends prior to vesting but may be entitled to receive dividend equivalents if the award agreement provides for them. The rights of participants granted restricted stock or RSUs upon the termination of employment or service to us will be set forth in the award agreement.

Options

Incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options may be granted under the 2022 Plan. An “incentive stock option” means an option intended to qualify for tax treatment applicable to incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. A “non-statutory stock option” is an option that is not subject to statutory requirements and limitations required for certain tax advantages that are allowed under specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. A non-statutory stock option under the 2022 Plan is referred to for federal income tax purposes as a “non-qualified” stock option. Each option granted under the Plan will be designated as a non-qualified stock option or an incentive stock option. At the discretion of the administrator, incentive stock options may be granted only to our employees, employees of our “parent corporation” (as such term is defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) or employees of our subsidiaries.

The exercise period of an option may not exceed ten years from the date of grant and the exercise price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the option is granted (110% of fair market value in the case of incentive stock options granted to ten percent stockholders). The exercise price for shares of Common Stock subject to an option may be paid in cash, or as determined by the administrator in its sole discretion,

60

Table of Contents

(i) through any cashless exercise procedure approved by the administrator (including the withholding of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise), (ii) by tendering unrestricted shares of Common Stock owned by the participant, (iii) with any other form of consideration approved by the administrator and permitted by applicable law or (iv) by any combination of these methods. The option holder will have no rights to dividends or distributions or other rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to an option until the option holder has given written notice of exercise and paid the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes.

In the event of a participant’s termination of employment or service, the participant may exercise his or her option (to the extent vested as of such date of termination) for such period of time as specified in his or her option agreement.

Stock Appreciation Rights

SARs may be granted either alone (a “free-standing SAR”) or in conjunction with all or part of any option granted under the 2022 Plan (a “tandem SAR”). A free-standing SAR will entitle its holder to receive, at the time of exercise, an amount per share up to the excess of the fair market value (at the date of exercise) of a share of Common Stock over the base price of the free-standing SAR (which shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the related shares of Common Stock on the date of grant) multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the SAR is being exercised. A tandem SAR will entitle its holder to receive, at the time of exercise of the SAR and surrender of the applicable portion of the related option, an amount per share up to the excess of the fair market value (at the date of exercise) of a share of Common Stock over the exercise price of the related option multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the SAR is being exercised. The exercise period of a free-standing SAR may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The exercise period of a tandem SAR will also expire upon the expiration of its related option.

The holder of a SAR will have no rights to dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the SAR until the holder has given written notice of exercise and paid the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes.

In the event of an participant’s termination of employment or service, the holder of a SAR may exercise his or her SAR (to the extent vested as of such date of termination) for such period of time as specified in his or her SAR agreement.

Other Stock-Based Awards

The administrator may grant other stock-based awards under the 2022 Plan, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, shares of Common Stock. The administrator will determine the terms and conditions of these awards, including the number of shares of Common Stock to be granted pursuant to each award, the manner in which the award will be settled, and the conditions to the vesting and payment of the award (including the achievement of performance goals). The rights of participants granted other stock-based awards upon the termination of employment or service to us will be set forth in the applicable award agreement. In the event that a bonus is granted in the form of shares of Common Stock, the shares of Common Stock constituting such bonus shall, as determined by the administrator, be evidenced in uncertificated form or by a book entry record or a certificate issued in the name of the participant to whom such grant was made and delivered to such participant as soon as practicable after the date on which such bonus is payable. Any dividend or dividend equivalent award issued hereunder shall be subject to the same restrictions, conditions and risks of forfeiture as apply to the underlying award.

Equitable Adjustment and Treatment of Outstanding Awards Upon a Change in Control

Equitable Adjustments. In the event of a merger, consolidation, reclassification, recapitalization, spin-off, spin-out, repurchase, reorganization, special or extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution (whether in the form of common shares, cash or other property), combination, exchange of shares, or other change in corporate structure affecting our Common Stock, an equitable substitution or proportionate adjustment shall be made in (i) the aggregate number and kind of securities reserved for issuance under the 2022 Plan, (ii) the kind and number of securities subject to, and the exercise price of, any outstanding options and SARs granted under the 2022 Plan, (iii) the kind, number and purchase price of shares of Common Stock, or the amount of cash or amount or type of property, subject to outstanding restricted stock, RSUs and other stock-based awards granted under the 2022 Plan and (iv) the terms and conditions of any outstanding awards (including any applicable performance targets). Equitable substitutions or adjustments other than those listed above may also be made as determined by the plan administrator. In addition, the plan administrator may terminate all outstanding awards for the payment of cash or in-kind consideration having an aggregate fair market

61

Table of Contents

value equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock, cash or other property covered by such awards over the aggregate exercise price, if any, of such awards, but if the exercise price of any outstanding award is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock, cash or other property covered by such award, the plan administrator may cancel the award without the payment of any consideration to the participant. With respect to awards subject to foreign laws, adjustments will be made in compliance with applicable requirements. Except to the extent determined by the plan administrator, adjustments to incentive stock options will be made only to the extent not constituting a “modification” within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code.

Change in Control. The 2022 Plan provides that, unless otherwise determined by the plan administrator and evidenced in an award agreement, if a “change in control” (as defined below) occurs and a participant is employed by us or any of our affiliates immediately prior to the consummation of the change in control, then the plan administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, may (i) provide that any unvested or unexercisable portion of an award carrying a right to exercise will become fully vested and exercisable; and (ii) cause the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions and forfeiture conditions applicable to any award granted under the 2022 Plan to lapse, and the awards will be deemed fully vested and any performance conditions imposed with respect to such awards will be deemed to be fully achieved at target performance levels. The administrator shall have discretion in connection with such change in control to provide that all outstanding and unexercised options and SARs shall expire upon the consummation of such change in control.

For purposes of the 2022 Plan, a “change in control” means, in summary, the first to occur of the following events: (i) a person or entity becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of our voting power; (ii) an unapproved change in the majority membership of our board of directors; (iii) a merger or consolidation of us or any of our subsidiaries, other than (A) a merger or consolidation that results in our voting securities continuing to represent 50% or more of the combined voting power of the surviving entity or its parent and our board of directors immediately prior to the merger or consolidation continuing to represent at least a majority of the board of directors of the surviving entity or its parent or (B) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization in which no person is or becomes the beneficial owner of our voting securities representing more than 50% of our combined voting power; or (iv) stockholder approval of a plan of our complete liquidation or dissolution or the consummation of an agreement for the sale or disposition of substantially all of our assets, other than (A) a sale or disposition to an entity, more than 50% of the combined voting power of which is owned by our stockholders in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of us immediately prior to such sale or (B) a sale or disposition to an entity controlled by our board of directors. However, a change in control will not be deemed to have occurred as a result of any transaction or series of integrated transactions following which our stockholders, immediately prior thereto, hold immediately afterward the same proportionate equity interests in the entity that owns all or substantially all of our assets.

Tax Withholding

Each participant will be required to make arrangements satisfactory to the plan administrator regarding payment of up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the participant’s applicable jurisdiction with respect to any award granted under the 2022 Plan, as determined by us. We have the right, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the participant. With the approval of the plan administrator, the participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by either electing to have us withhold from delivery of shares of Common Stock, cash or other property, as applicable, or by delivering already owned unrestricted shares of Common Stock, in each case, having a value not exceeding the applicable taxes to be withheld and applied to the tax obligations. We may also use any other method of obtaining the necessary payment or proceeds, as permitted by applicable law, to satisfy our withholding obligation with respect to any award.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with Related Persons

Except as described below and except for employment arrangements which are described under “Executive Compensation,” since February 1, 2023, there has not been, nor is there currently proposed, any transaction in which we are or were a participant, the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of the total assets at December 31, 2021, and any of our directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of our Common Stock, or any immediate family member of any of the foregoing had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Related Person Transaction Policy

Prior to this offering, we have not had a formal policy regarding approval of transactions with related parties. We expect to adopt a related person transaction policy that sets forth our procedures for the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of related person transactions. The policy will become effective immediately upon the execution of the underwriting agreement for this offering. For purposes of our policy only, a related person transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we and any related person are, were or will be participants in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of our total assets at year-end for our last two completed fiscal years. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee or director are not covered by this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director or beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, including any of their immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.

Under the policy, if a transaction has been identified as a related person transaction, including any transaction that was not a related person transaction when originally consummated or any transaction that was not initially identified as a related person transaction prior to consummation, our management must present information regarding the related person transaction to our audit committee, or, if audit committee approval would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our board of directors, for review, consideration and approval or ratification. The presentation must include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the interests, direct and indirect, of the related persons, the benefits to us of the transaction and whether the transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to or from, as the case may be, an unrelated third party or to or from employees generally. Under the policy, we will collect information that we deem reasonably necessary from each director, executive officer and, to the extent feasible, significant shareholder to enable us to identify any existing or potential related-person transactions and to effectuate the terms of the policy. In addition, under our code of business conduct and ethics, our employees and directors will have an affirmative responsibility to disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest. In considering related person transactions, our audit committee, or other independent body of our board of directors, will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to:

• the risks, costs and benefits to us;

• the impact on a director’s independence in the event that the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;

• the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

• the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from employees generally.

The policy requires that, in determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a related person transaction, our audit committee, or other independent body of our board of directors, must consider, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, our best interests and those of our shareholders, as our audit committee, or other independent body of our board of directors, determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

Table of Contents

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of February 1, 2023, by:

• each of our directors;

• each of our named executive officers;

• all of our current directors and executive officers as a group; and

• each person, or group of affiliated persons, who beneficially owned more than 5% of our Common Stock.

The number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by each entity, person, director, or executive officer is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares over which the individual has sole or shared voting power or investment power as well as any shares that the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of February 1, 2023, through the exercise of any stock option, warrants, or other rights. Except as otherwise indicated, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock held by that person.

The percentage of shares beneficially owned is computed on the basis of 10,417,846 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of February 1, 2023.

Shares of our Common Stock that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of February 1, 2023, are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such rights, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person, except with respect to the percentage ownership of all directors and executive officers as a group. The address of each holder listed below, except as otherwise indicated, is 101 Eisenhower Parkway, Suite 300, Roseland, NJ 07068.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

The following description summarizes the most important terms of our capital stock, as they will be in effect upon the closing of this offering. Because it is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a complete description of the matters set forth in this “Description of Capital Stock,” you should refer to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, to be effective immediately prior to the closing of this offering, and the registration rights agreements, each of which will be included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law. Immediately prior to the closing of this offering, our authorized capital stock will consist of 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share.

On November 4, 2022, we filed a certificate of change to our certificate of incorporation, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effectuate a one-for-one and thirty-three hundredths (1:1.33) Reverse Stock Split of our Common Stock without any change to its par value. The Reverse Stock Split became effective upon such filing. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split as all fractional shares were rounded up to the next whole share.

As of February 1, 2023, 10,417,846 shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding, held by 42 holders of record, and no shares of our preferred stock were issued and outstanding. As of February 1, 2023, we had no stock options outstanding. Our board of directors is authorized, without stockholder approval except as required by the Nasdaq Rules, to issue additional shares of our capital stock.

Common Stock

Each share of our Common Stock entitles the holder to receive notice of and to attend all meetings of our stockholders with the entitlement to one vote. Holders of Common Stock are entitled, subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions, and conditions attaching to any other class of shares ranking in priority to the Common Stock, to receive any dividend declared by the board of directors. If the Company is voluntarily or involuntarily liquidated, dissolved, or wound-up, the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive, after distribution in full of the preferential amounts, if any, all of the remaining assets available for distribution ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them. Holders of Common Stock have no redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences, and privileges of holders of shares of Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

Preferred Stock

Immediately prior to the closing of this offering, our board of directors will be authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of our preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our shareholders. Our board of directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by our shareholders. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of our company and might adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock. We have no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Equity Awards

None.

Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or the anticipation of these sales, could materially and adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time, and could impair our ability to raise capital through sales of equity or equity-related securities.

Only a limited number of shares of our Common Stock will be available for sale in the public market for a period of several months after completion of this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale described below. Nevertheless, sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market after such restrictions lapse, or the perception that those sales may occur, could materially and adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Common Stock. Although we intend to apply to list our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we cannot assure you that our Common Stock will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and if listed, there will be an active market for our Common Stock.

Of the shares to be outstanding immediately after the completion of this offering, we expect that the shares to be sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act unless purchased by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The remaining shares of our Common Stock outstanding after this offering will be subject to a 180 or 270-day lock-up period under the lock-up agreements as described below. These restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if registered or pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144.

Rule 144

Affiliate Resales of Restricted Securities

Affiliates of ours must generally comply with Rule 144 if they wish to sell any shares of our Common Stock in the public market, whether or not those shares are “restricted securities.” “Restricted securities” are any securities acquired from us or one of our affiliates in a transaction not involving a public offering. All shares of our Common Stock issued prior to the closing of the offering made hereby, are considered to be restricted securities. The shares of our Common Stock sold in this offering are not considered to be restricted securities.

Non-Affiliate Resales of Restricted Securities

Any person or entity who is not an affiliate of ours and who has not been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale is only required to comply with Rule 144 in connection with sales of restricted shares of our Common Stock. Subject to the lock-up agreements described below, those persons may sell shares of our Common Stock that they have beneficially owned for at least one year without any restrictions under Rule 144 immediately following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Further, beginning 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, a person who is not an affiliate of ours at the time such person sells shares of our Common Stock, and has not been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding such sale, and who has beneficially owned such shares of our Common Stock, as applicable, for at least six months but less than a year, is entitled to sell such shares so long as there is adequate current public information, as defined in Rule 144, available about us.

Resales of restricted shares of our Common Stock by non-affiliates are not subject to the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice filing provisions of Rule 144, described above.

Equity Incentive Awards

We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act after the closing of this offering to register the shares of Common Stock that are issuable pursuant to our 2022 Plan. The registration statement is expected to be filed and become effective as soon as practicable after the completion of this offering. Accordingly, shares registered under the registration statement will be available for sale in the open market following its effective date, subject to Rule 144 volume limitations and the lock-up arrangement described above, if applicable.

Lock-Up Agreements

Our officers and directors have agreed with the Representative to be subject to a lock-up period of 270 days following the date of closing of the offering pursuant to this prospectus. Certain stockholders have agreed with the Representative to be subject to a lock-up period of 180 days following the date of closing of the offering pursuant to this prospectus. This means that, during the lock-up period, such persons may not offer for sale, contract to sell, sell, distribute, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our Common Stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of our Common Stock, subject to certain customary exceptions. The Representative may, in its sole discretion and without notice, waive the terms of any of these lock-up agreements. We have also agreed, in the underwriting agreement, to similar lock-up restrictions on the issuance and sale of our securities for 180 days following the closing of this offering, subject to certain customary exceptions.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to non-U.S. holders (as defined below) of the ownership and disposition of our Common Stock but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Internal Revenue Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possibly retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below. No ruling on the U.S. federal, state, or local tax considerations relevant to our operations or to the purchase, ownership or disposition of our shares, has been or will be requested from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or other tax authority. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences described below.

This summary also does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any non-U.S., state or local jurisdiction, or under U.S. federal gift and estate tax laws, except to the limited extent set forth below. In addition, this discussion does not address tax considerations applicable to an investor’s particular circumstances or to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:

• banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions, regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

• persons subject to the alternative minimum tax or Medicare contribution tax on net investment income;

• tax-exempt organizations or governmental organizations;

• controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

• brokers or dealers in securities or currencies;

• traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings;

• persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent of our capital stock (except to the extent specifically set forth below);

• U.S. expatriates and certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

• partnerships or entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes or other pass-through entities (and investors therein);

• persons who hold our Common Stock as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction or integrated investment;

• persons who hold or receive our Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation;

• persons who do not hold our Common Stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code; or

• persons deemed to sell our Common Stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of the U.S. federal income tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Common Stock arising under the U.S. federal estate or gift tax rules or under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S., or other taxing jurisdiction or under any applicable tax treaty.

Table of Contents

Non-U.S. Holder Defined

For purposes of this discussion, you are a non-U.S. holder (other than a partnership) if you are any holder other than:

• an individual citizen or resident of the United States (for U.S. federal income tax purposes);

• a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, or other entity treated as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

• an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

• a trust (x) whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more “U.S. persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) which has made a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person.

In addition, if a partnership or entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, partnerships that hold our Common Stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their tax advisors.

Distributions

As described in “Dividend Policy,” we have never declared or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we do make distributions on our Common Stock, those payments will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed both our current and our accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will constitute a return of capital and will first reduce your basis in our Common Stock, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the sale of stock as described below under “— Gain on Disposition of Common Stock.”

Subject to the discussion below on effectively connected income, backup withholding and foreign accounts, any dividend paid to you generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax either at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividend or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. In order to receive a reduced treaty rate, you must provide us with an IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8 BEN-E or other appropriate version of IRS Form W-8 certifying qualification for the reduced rate. A non-U.S. holder of shares of our Common Stock eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. If the non-U.S. holder holds the stock through a financial institution or other agent acting on the non-U.S. holder’s behalf, the non-U.S. holder will be required to provide appropriate documentation to the agent, which then will be required to provide certification to us or our paying agent, either directly or through other intermediaries.

Dividends received by you that are effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by you in the United States) are generally exempt from such withholding tax if certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied. In order to obtain this exemption, you must provide us with an IRS Form W-8ECI or other applicable IRS Form W-8 properly certifying such exemption. Such effectively connected dividends, although not subject to withholding tax, are taxed at the same graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and credits. In addition, if you are a corporate non-U.S. holder, dividends you receive that are effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. You should consult your tax advisor regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Table of Contents

Gain on Disposition of Common Stock

Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding and foreign accounts, you generally will not be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on any gain recognized upon the sale or other disposition of our Common Stock unless:

• the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by you in the United States);

• you are a non-resident alien individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met; or

• our Common Stock constitutes a United States real property interest by reason of our status as a “United States real property holding corporation,” or USRPHC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time within the shorter of (i) the five-year period preceding your disposition of our Common Stock, or (ii) your holding period for our Common Stock.

We believe that we are not currently and will not become a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the remainder of this discussion so assumes. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our U.S. real property relative to the fair market value of our other business assets, there can be no assurance that we will not become a USRPHC in the future. Even if we become a USRPHC, however, as long as our Common Stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, such Common Stock will be treated as U.S. real property interests only if you actually or constructively hold more than five percent of such regularly traded Common Stock at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding your disposition of, or your holding period for, our Common Stock.

If you are a non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet above, you will be required to pay tax on the net gain derived from the sale under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates, and a corporate non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet above also may be subject to the branch profits tax at a 30% rate, or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If you are an individual non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet above, you will be required to pay a flat 30% tax (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gain derived from the sale, which gain may be offset by U.S. source capital losses for the year (provided you have timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses). You should consult any applicable income tax or other treaties that may provide for different rules.

Federal Estate Tax

Our Common Stock beneficially owned by an individual who is not a citizen or resident of the United States (as defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) at the time of their death will generally be includable in the decedent’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes and therefore, may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise. The test for whether an individual is a resident of the United States for U.S. federal estate tax purposes differs from the test used for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Some individuals, therefore, may be non-U.S. holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but not for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, and vice versa.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Generally, we must report annually to the IRS the amount of dividends paid to you, your name and address and the amount of tax withheld, if any. A similar report will be sent to you. Pursuant to applicable income tax treaties or other agreements, the IRS may make these reports available to tax authorities in your country of residence.

Payments of dividends or of proceeds on the disposition of stock made to you generally would be subject to information reporting and backup withholding at a current rate of 24% unless you establish an exemption, for example, by properly certifying your non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8 BEN-E or another appropriate version of IRS Form W-8.

71

Table of Contents

Backup withholding is not an additional tax; rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund or credit may generally be obtained from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) imposes a U.S. federal income withholding tax at a rate of 30% on dividends on and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our Common Stock paid to “foreign financial institutions” (as specially defined under these rules), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding the U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign entities with U.S. owners) or otherwise establishes an exemption. FATCA also generally imposes a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends on and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our Common Stock paid to a “non-financial foreign entity” (as specially defined for purposes of these rules) unless such entity provides the withholding agent with a certification identifying certain substantial direct and indirect U.S. owners of the entity, certifies that there are none or otherwise establishes an exemption. The withholding provisions under FATCA generally apply to dividends on our Common Stock, and under current transition rules, are expected to apply with respect to the gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our Common Stock on or after January 1, 2019. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify the requirements described in this paragraph. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this legislation and any applicable intergovernmental agreements on their investment in our Common Stock.

Each prospective investor should consult its tax advisor regarding the particular U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. tax consequences of purchasing, holding and disposing of our Common Stock, including the consequences of any proposed change in applicable laws.

UNDERWRITING

We have entered into an underwriting agreement with Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd. (“Laidlaw” or the “Representative”), as the representative of the underwriters named below and the joint book-running manager of this offering, with respect to the offering of shares of our Common Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of an underwriting agreement between us and the Representative, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and the underwriters have agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of shares of Common Stock listed next to its name in the following table:

The underwriters are committed to purchase all of the securities offered by us other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below, if it purchases any securities. The obligations of the underwriters may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the underwriting agreement. Furthermore, pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the underwriters’ obligations are subject to customary conditions, representations, and warranties contained in the underwriting agreement, such as receipt by the underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

The underwriters are offering the above securities, subject to prior sale, when, as, and if issued to and accepted by it, subject to approval of legal matters by its counsel and other conditions specified in the underwriting agreement. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel, or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

Over-Allotment Option

We have granted a 45-day option to the underwriters, exercisable one or more times in whole or in part, to purchase up to an additional 253,012 shares (equal to 15% of the Common Stock sold in the offering) at an initial public offering price of $4.15 per share, less the underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments, if any.

Discounts, Commissions, and Expenses

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters. Such amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

|  | Per share |  | Total(1)

We have also agreed to issue the representative of the underwriters or its designees warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 8.0% of the shares of common stock sold in this offering and to reimburse the underwriters for certain offering-related expenses. In addition, we have agreed to pay a management fee to the representative equal to 1% of the gross proceeds received in this offering, which is not included in the underwriting discounts and commissions.

73

Table of Contents

The underwriters propose to offer the securities offered by us to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. In addition, the underwriters may offer some of the securities to other securities dealers at such price less an expected concession of 4% of the purchase price per share. If all of the shares offered by us are not sold at the public offering price, the Representative may change the offering price and other selling terms by means of a supplement to this prospectus.

We have also agreed to reimburse the underwriter for its expenses in connection with this offering, up to $150,000, including fees of underwriter counsel. We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding the total underwriting discount, will be approximately $630,000.

Discretionary Accounts

The underwriters do not intend to confirm sales of the securities offered hereby to any accounts over which they have discretionary authority.

Representative’s Warrants

Upon the closing of this offering, we have agreed to issue to the Representative or its designees warrants to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to eight percent (8%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in this offering (the “Representative’s Warrants”). The Representative’s Warrants will be exercisable six months from the effective date of this registration statement and will expire five years from the effective date thereof. The exercise price of the warrants is equal to 110% of the offering price of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby. The Representative’s Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e) of FINRA. The Representative (or permitted assignees under Rule 5110(e)) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these warrants or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from the effective date of the offering. In addition, the warrants provide for registration rights upon request, in certain cases. The one-time demand registration right provided will not be greater than five years from the effective date of the registration statement in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(C). The unlimited piggyback registration right provided will not be greater than seven years from the effective date of the registration statement in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D). We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the warrants other than underwriting commissions incurred and payable by the holders

Lock-Up Agreements

Our officers and directors have agreed with the Representative to be subject to a lock-up period of 270 days following the date of closing of the offering pursuant to this prospectus. Certain stockholders have agreed with the Representative to be subject to a lock-up period of 180 days following the date of closing of the offering pursuant to this prospectus. This means that, during the lock-up period, such persons may not offer for sale, contract to sell, sell, distribute, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our Common Stock or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of our Common Stock, subject to certain customary exceptions. The Representative may, in its sole discretion and without notice, waive the terms of any of these lock-up agreements. We have also agreed, in the underwriting agreement, to similar lock-up restrictions on the issuance and sale of our securities for 180 days following the closing of this offering, subject to certain customary exceptions.

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make for these liabilities.

Table of Contents

Price Stabilization, Short Positions, and Penalty Bids

In connection with this offering, each underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of our securities. Specifically, such underwriter may over-allot in connection with this offering by selling more securities than are set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. This creates a short position in our securities for such underwriter’s own accounts. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of securities over-allotted by such underwriter is not greater than the number of securities that it may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of securities involved is greater than the number of securities in the over-allotment option. To close out a short position, such underwriter may elect to exercise all or part of the over-allotment option. Such underwriter may also elect to stabilize the price of our securities or reduce any short position by bidding for, and purchasing, securities in the open market.

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter or dealer repays selling concessions allowed to it for distributing a security in this offering because the underwriter repurchases that security in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Finally, each underwriter may bid for, and purchase, shares of our securities in market-making transactions, including “passive” market-making transactions as described below.

These activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of our securities at a price that is higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the absence of these activities. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may discontinue any of these activities at any time without notice. These transactions may be affected on NASDAQ, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.

In connection with this offering, the underwriters and selling group members, if any, or their affiliates may engage in passive market-making transactions in our Common Stock immediately prior to the commencement of sales in this offering, in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Rule 103 generally provides that:

• a passive market maker may not affect transactions or display bids for our securities in excess of the highest independent bid price by persons who are not passive market makers;

• net purchases by a passive market maker on each day are generally limited to 30% of the passive market maker’s average daily trading volume in our Common Stock during a specified two-month prior period or 200 shares, whichever is greater, and must be discontinued when that limit is reached; and

• passive market-making bids must be identified as such.

(the Company) as of December 31, 2021, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from October 27, 2021 (Inception) to December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The NFT Gaming Company Inc. as of December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from October 27, 2021 (Inception) to December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

THE NFT GAMING COMPANY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2021

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The NFT Gaming Company, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Wyoming on October 27, 2021. The Company develops, designs, acquires, and manages games that offer affordable non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for unique and exclusive features, rewards, and opportunities. In addition to developing proprietary games, the Company’s platform will onboard third-party game publishers and provide access to blockchain and NFT architecture, product experiences, exclusive content, and revenue opportunities.

On November 4, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-1.33 reverse stock split with respect to the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Certificate of Amendment became effective on November 4, 2022. The reverse stock split was deemed effective at the open of business on November 4, 2022. All share and per share data in the accompanying audited financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has not commenced planned principal operations. The Company’s activities since inception include devoting substantially all of its efforts to business planning development. Additionally, the Company has allocated a substantial portion of time and investment to the completion of its development activities to launch its marketing plan and generate revenues and to raising capital. The Company has generated no revenues from operations. The Company’s activities during this early stage are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash of $2,078,141 which will be used to implement the Company’s business plan and for the development of games. The Company estimates that based on current plans and assumptions, its available cash will be sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements under its present operating expectations for the next 12 months from the date of this report. The Company may need to raise additional capital or debt financing to acquire games and technology, to develop games, and to assure it will have sufficient working capital for its ongoing operations.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant account policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and the notes are the representation of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include estimates of current and deferred income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances.

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (the “FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, subscriptions receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021.

The Company’s cash is held at major commercial banks, which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its invested cash. On December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $1,578,000 of cash in excess of FDIC limits of $250,000.

Accounting for Digital Currencies and Other Digital Assets

The Company accounts for digital currencies and other digital assets as indefinite-lived intangible assets and accounts for them at historical cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization but rather tested for impairment annually and more frequently, if events or circumstances change that indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired (i.e., if an impairment indicator exists). As a result, the Company only recognizes decreases in the value of its digital currencies and other digital assets, and any increase in value will be recognized only upon disposition. The Company plans to dispose of cryptocurrency received as a form of payment into fiat currency and anticipates ownership of cryptocurrency to be minimal. Digital currencies are included in current assets.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Applicable interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASC 606

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

requires an entity to 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 in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. The Company plans on generating revenue from the following sources:

We plan to generate revenue from the sale of our in-game NFTs to our customers via our platform. Revenue generated from such sales, either directly as a sale of our in-game NFTs or indirectly as commission, will be recognized upon delivery of the in-game NFT to the customer which is when the Company completes its sole performance obligation. We will sell our in-game NFTs for a fixed US dollar price (USD). Through a third-party payment service provider, the customer will have the option to pay for the NFT by using digital currencies, which includes Bitcoin or Ethereum. If payment is made in digital currency, the customer will send the USD equivalent amount of the digital currency to our custodial wallet via a third-party payment service provider, and revenue will be recorded using the fixed US dollar transaction price charged for the NFT. Upon conversion of the digital currency to USD, we will recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the fixed USD transaction price that we charged, and the amount of USD received at the time of conversion. See Accounting for Digital Currencies and Other Digital Assets above. NFTs are automatically delivered to the customer via smart contract at the time of sale or minting. As it is a simultaneous process, our performance obligation has been met in accordance with ASC 606 upon the customer remitting payment for the NFT. In the unlikely case of force majeure and the NFT has not been delivered, we will recognize a contract liability until such time that the performance obligation has been met. Fees incurred by us, including network fees, will be netted against such NFT revenues. Accordingly, NFT revenues will be reflected net of the related expenses.

The Company plans to generate revenue from advertising fees paid by game advertisers, developers, hardware companies, or other strategic partners to the Company for promotion on our platform. Revenues from these fees will be recognized ratably over the agreed upon advertising service period and upon delivery of agreed upon advertising services.

• We plan to generate royalty revenues when a third party sells one of our NFTs on a third-party platform. We will recognize royalty revenue when it is probable that we will collect the royalty fee owed which is typically when we receive notification from the third-party platform that an NFT has been sold. In the instance where the Company will receive royalty payments when a customer disposes of an in-game NFT in the secondary market on a third-party platform or any other payment that is not in fiat currency, the Company will recognize the revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10-32-21, Noncash Consideration. Fair value of the non-cash consideration received shall be determined by using the quoted price for such non-cash consideration on the date of the transaction.

• When a third-party publisher sells an NFT created using our platform via our smart contracts, we will receive a commission. Since they would use our same smart contract, the delivery and performance obligations are simultaneous with payment. We will recognize commission revenue upon delivery of the NFTs.

• We will generate transaction fee revenues from our customers which shall equal the network fees charged by the Polygon blockchain at the time of minting. Fees incurred by us, including Polygon Network (MATIC) and other NFT transaction costs, will be netted against such transaction fee revenues and transaction fees revenue will be reflected net of the related expenses. Currently, transaction fees are negligible. Transaction fee revenues and related costs shall be recognized on the date of the respective transaction.

Each type of revenue source will be specifically identifiable and revenue shall be recognized based on our respective revenue recognition policy. We will not generate variable revenues under NFT contracts because our NFTs are priced in USD. All revenues generated by the Company shall be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

Research and Development

Research and development costs incurred in the development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred and includes costs such as labor and outside development costs, materials, and other allocated costs incurred.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Net Loss per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share.” The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the “as if converted” basis.

Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not have potentially dilutive common shares.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of its $0.0001 par value preferred stock. The Company’s board of directors will have the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as the authority to issue such shares, without further stockholder approval. As of December 31, 2021, no shares have been designated and no preferred shares were issued and outstanding.

Common Stock

In November 2021, the Company issued 7,218,048 shares of its Common Stock to its founders for proceeds of $960.

During November and December 2021, the Company sold 3,199,798 shares of its Common Stock for cash proceeds of $2,080,700 and subscriptions receivable of $37,500. The subscriptions receivable of $37,500 were collected in January 2022.

NOTE 4 — INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income tax using the liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets on December 31, 2021 consist only of net operating loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance because of the uncertainty of the attainment of future taxable income.

NOTE 4 — INCOME TAXES (cont.)

Components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

|  | December 31, 2021
Net Operating loss Carryforward |  | $ | 3,370 |
Valuation Allowance |  |  | (3,370 | )
Net Deferred Tax Assets |  | $ | — |

A reconciliation of the effective tax rate with the statutory Federal income tax rate was as follows for the period from October 27, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2021:

|  | For the period from October 27, 2021 (inception) to December 31, 2021
Federal statutory rate |  | (21.0 | )%
State taxes, net of federal benefit |  | (6.5 | )%
Change in valuation allowance |  | 27.5 | %
Effective tax rate |  | 0 | %

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $12,255 in net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes of which $12,255 may be carried forward indefinitely subject to annual usage limitations of 80% of taxable income. Generally, these can be carried forward and applied against future taxable income at the tax rate applicable at that time. The Company is currently using a 27.5% effective tax rate for its projected available net operating loss carry-forward.

In accordance with FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”, valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets, if based on the weight of available evidence, some or all of the deferred tax assets may or will not be realized. The Company has evaluated its ability to realize some or all of the deferred tax assets on its balance sheet for the coming year and has established a valuation allowance in the amount of $3,370 as of December 31, 2021 due to the uncertainty of generating taxable income. The valuation allowance increased in 2021 by $3,370.

The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions or events leading to uncertainty in a tax position. The Company’s 2021 Corporate Income Tax Return is subject to Internal Revenue Service examination.

NOTE 5 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated events subsequent to the balance sheet date through February 8, 2022, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2022

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The NFT Gaming Company, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Wyoming on October 27, 2021 (“Inception”). The Company develops, designs, acquires, and manages games that offer affordable non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for unique and exclusive features, rewards, and opportunities. In addition to developing proprietary games, the Company’s platform will onboard third-party game publishers and provide access to blockchain and NFT architecture, product experiences, exclusive content, and revenue opportunities.

On March 29, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved, subject to shareholder approval, a Plan of Conversion, pursuant to which the Company will convert from a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming to a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”), and such approval includes the adoption of the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Delaware Certificate”) and the Bylaws (the “Delaware Bylaws”) for the Company under the laws of the State of Delaware, under the name, “The NFT Gaming Company, Inc.,” to become effective with the effectiveness of the Reincorporation. On March 29, 2022, we received majority shareholder approval. On March 30, 2022, the Company completed the Reincorporation by filing the Delaware Certificate with the State of Delaware.

On September 7, 2022, a majority on the Company shareholders granted discretionary authority to the Company’s Board of Directors to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect one or more consolidations of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, pursuant to which the shares of common stock would be combined and reclassified into on the basis of one share of common stock for each 1.33 shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

On November 4, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-1.33 Reverse Stock Split with respect to the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Certificate of Amendment became effective on November 4, 2022. The Reverse Stock Split was deemed effective at the open of business on November 4, 2022. All share and per share data in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split.

Going Concern

These unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, the Company had a net loss and cash used in operations of $1,098,130 and $904,876 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,110,385 on September 30, 2022. The Company has not commenced planned principal operations and therefore has not generated revenues since inception. The Company’s activities since inception include devoting substantially all of its efforts to business planning and development. Additionally, the Company has allocated a substantial portion of time and investment to the completion of its development activities to launch its product and marketing plan and generate revenues and to raising capital. The Company’s activities during this early stage are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash of $978,520, which will be used to implement the Company’s business plan and for the development of games. The Company estimates that based on current plans and assumptions, its available cash may not be sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements under its present operating expectations for the next 12 months from the date of this report. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. The Company will seek to raise capital through debt and/or equity financings to fund its operations in the future. Although the Company has historically raised capital from sales of common shares, there is no assurance that it will be able to continue to do so. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or secure additional lending in the near future, management

expects that the Company will need to curtail its operations. These unaudited condensed 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 the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

This summary of significant account policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and the notes are the representation of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such accounting principles and, accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to the financial statements for the period from Inception to December 31, 2021 of the Company included in the audited financial statements found elsewhere in this registration statement on Form S-1.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include estimates of current and deferred income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances.

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (the “FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company did not identify any assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheet at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, subscriptions receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the purchase date and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company has no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Company’s cash is held at major commercial banks, which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its invested cash. On September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $479,000 of cash in excess of FDIC limits of $250,000. On December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $1,578,000 of cash in excess of FDIC limits of $250,000.

Accounting for Digital Currencies and Other Digital Assets

The Company accounts for digital currencies and other digital assets as indefinite-lived intangible assets and accounts for them at historical cost in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization but rather evaluated for impairment annually and more frequently, if events or circumstances change that indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired (i.e., if an impairment indicator exists). As a result, the Company only recognizes decreases in the value of its digital currencies and other digital assets, and any increase in value will be recognized only upon disposition. The Company plans to dispose of cryptocurrency received as a form of payment into fiat currency and anticipates ownership of cryptocurrency to be minimal. The Company held no such indefinite-lived intangible assets as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Capitalized Software Costs

Costs incurred to develop internal-use software including game development, are expensed as incurred during the preliminary project stage. Internal-use software development costs are capitalized during the application development stage, which is after: (i) the preliminary project stage is completed; and (ii) management authorizes and commits to funding the project and it is probable the project will be completed and used to perform the function intended. Capitalization ceases at the point the software project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, and after all substantial testing is completed. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if it is probable that those expenditures will result in additional functionality. Amortization is provided for on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the internal-use software development costs and related upgrades and enhancements. When existing software is replaced with new software, the unamortized costs of the old software are expensed when the new software is ready for its intended use. Through September 30, 2022, no development costs have been capitalized.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets, consisting of software and technology licenses, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life, less any impairment charges.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Applicable interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. ASC 606 requires an entity to 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 in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures.

The Company plans to generate revenue from the following sources:

• We plan to generate revenue from the sale of our in-game NFTs to our customers via our platform. Revenue generated from such sales, either directly as a sale of our in-game NFTs or indirectly as commission, will be recognized upon delivery of the in-game NFT to the customer which is when the Company completes its sole performance obligation. We will sell our in-game NFTs for a fixed US dollar price (USD). Through a third-party payment service provider, the customer will have the option to pay for the NFT by using digital currencies, which includes Bitcoin or Ethereum. If payment is made in digital currency, the customer will send the USD equivalent amount of the digital currency to our custodial wallet via a third-party payment service provider, and revenue will be recorded using the fixed US dollar transaction price charged for the NFT. Upon conversion of the digital currency to USD, we will recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the fixed USD transaction price that we charged, and the amount of USD received at the time of conversion. See Accounting for Digital Currencies and Other Digital Assets above. NFTs are automatically delivered to the customer via smart contract at the time of sale or minting. As it is a simultaneous process, our performance obligation has been met in accordance with ASC 606 upon the customer remitting payment for the NFT. In the unlikely case of force majeure and the NFT has not been delivered, we will recognize a contract liability until such time that the performance obligation has been met. Fees incurred by us, including network fees, will be netted against such NFT revenues. Accordingly, NFT revenues will be reflected net of the related expenses.

• The Company plans to generate revenue from advertising fees paid by game advertisers, developers, hardware companies, or other strategic partners to the Company for promotion on our platform. Revenues from these fees will be recognized ratably over the agreed upon advertising service period and upon delivery of agreed upon advertising services.

• We plan to generate royalty revenues when a third party sells one of our NFTs on a third-party platform. We will recognize royalty revenue when it is probable that we will collect the royalty fee owed which is typically when we receive notification from the third-party platform that an NFT has been sold. In the

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

instance where the Company will receive royalty payments when a customer disposes of an in-game NFT in the secondary market on a third-party platform or any other payment that is not in fiat currency, the Company will recognize the revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10-32-21, Noncash Consideration. Fair value of the non-cash consideration received shall be determined by using the quoted price for such non-cash consideration on the date of the transaction.

• When a third-party publisher sells an NFT created using our platform via our smart contracts, we will receive a commission. Since they would use our same smart contract, the delivery and performance obligations are simultaneous with payment. We will recognize commission revenue upon delivery of the NFTs.

• We will generate transaction fee revenues from our customers which shall equal the network fees charged by the Polygon blockchain at the time of minting. Fees incurred by us, including Polygon Network (MATIC) and other NFT transaction costs, will be netted against such transaction fee revenues and transaction fees revenue will be reflected net of the related expenses. Currently, transaction fees are negligible. Transaction fee revenues and related costs shall be recognized on the date of the respective transaction.

Each type of revenue source will be specifically identifiable and revenue shall be recognized based on our respective revenue recognition policy. We will not generate variable revenues under NFT contracts because our NFTs are priced in USD. All revenues generated by the Company shall be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

Research and Development

Research and development costs incurred in the development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred and includes costs such as labor and outside development costs, software license fees, materials, and other allocated costs incurred.

Net Loss per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings Per Share.” The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the “as if converted” basis.

Pursuant to ASC 260-10-45, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period presented. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have potentially dilutive common shares.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, not yet adopted, that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

The licensed documentation, licensed software, and licensed patents will be used facilitate a “certificate of authentication” capability for image and video assets to prevent fraudulent activity. This will allow us to certify the image is unaltered in an externally available and trusted way and for a chain-of-trust architecture to be implemented within our system. The technology will also allow us to add an extra validation layer as well as track manipulation of our NFT assets. This will further provide increased trust in our gaming partners to use our platform and provide additional validation and control of third-party assets integrated into our platform.

In consideration of the Licenses granted under this License Agreement, the Company shall pay to Columbia fees and royalties as follows:

1) License Fee: A non-refundable, non-recoverable and non-creditable license fee in the sum of $25,000 was paid to Columbia within 30 days of the effective date of August 29, 2022;

C. $10 million when cumulative annual Gross Revenue of the Company reaches $1 billion; and

3) Royalties: A non-refundable, non-recoverable and non-creditable running royalty on all Licensed Products that are Sold by Company, its Affiliates and Sublicenses, or as otherwise used in to generate Gross Revenue during the term of this Agreement as follows:

A. Licensed Products Delivered to an End User. 5% on Net Revenue of Licensed Products that are Covered by a Valid Claim of a Patent in the country of Manufacture, Use, or Sale, and 2.5% on Net Revenue of Licensed Products that are not Covered by a Valid Claim of a Patent in the country of Manufacture, Use, or Sale;

B. Minimum Royalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall pay Columbia a non-refundable and non-recoverable minimum royalty payment in the amount of $25,000 per year commencing the year of the first commercial launch of a Licensed Product. Each such minimum royalty payment may be credited against earned royalties accrued during the same calendar year in which the minimum royalty payment is due and payable. To the extent minimum royalty payments exceed the earned royalties accrued during the same calendar year, this excess amount cannot be carried over to any

other year, either to decrease the earned royalties due in that year or to decrease the minimum royalty payments due in that year. Minimum royalty payments shall be paid on the first day of January (or another date as mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties) of each calendar year following the first commercial launch of a Licensed Product.

4) Fees and expenses: The Company $30,704 to Columbia to cover fees and expenses incurred. Additionally, the Company paid professional fees of $7,132 related to the license.

Such payments will be made based on the value of Company shares as determined either via private of public financing or the value of the Company’s per share equity value in a sale, with the amount of any such Win-State Payments being calculated in accordance with, and contingent upon, the Share Price Triggers and percentages of Proceeds set forth in the table below. Proceed shall mean the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company in connection with such financing before the payment of any commissions, fees or other expenses of any kind, and (ii) in the case of a sale of the Company or sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Company may make such payments to Columbia in cash or common stock at the Company’s sole discretion. If the common stock issued by the Company to satisfy a payment is made in publicly traded stock, then the price per share shall be equal to the per share price of the common stock offered by the Company and the shares should be registered. Win-State Payments will be promptly made to Columbia at the conclusion of each financing or sale of the Company.

|  | Company Share Price Trigger (meets or exceeds): |  | Win-State Payment to Columbia:
|  | $[10x Initial Financing price per share] |  | 1% of Proceeds from the Transaction
