−Removed: The following is a description
−Removed: of significant factors that might cause our future results to differ materially from those currently expected.
−Removed: The risks described below
−Removed: are not the only risks we face.
−Removed: Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may
−Removed: also affect our business operations.
−Removed: If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations,
−Removed: cash flows, or our ability to pay our debts and other liabilities could suffer.
−Removed: As a result, the trading price and liquidity of our securities
−Removed: could decline, perhaps significantly, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
−Removed: The risks discussed below also include forward-looking
−Removed: statements and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.
−Removed: See the section
−Removed: entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
−Removed: RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION
−Removed: business operations may be materially and adversely affected by the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic.
−Removed: The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, a significant impact around the world, prompting governments and businesses
−Removed: to take unprecedented measures in response.
−Removed: Such measures have included restrictions on travel and business operations, temporary closures
−Removed: of businesses, quarantine and shelter-in-place orders, and postponement or cancellation of in-person events, including sporting events.
−Removed: The COVID-19 pandemic has, at times, significantly curtailed global economic activity and caused significant volatility and
−Removed: disruption in global financial markets.
−Removed: The COVID-19 pandemic has had less of an impact during fiscal year 2021 on our business and results
−Removed: of operations than the prior fiscal year due to sporting events and society generally being less restricted and impacted by the pandemic.
−Removed: That does not, however, provide assurance that future variants of COVID-19, or other diseases, will not emerge.
−Removed: If that happens, it is
−Removed: possible that the sporting events will again be postponed or canceled.
−Removed: Given that Sports Illustrated, which relies on sporting events
−Removed: to generate content for the Sports Illustrated media business, comprises a material portion of our revenues, our cash flows and
−Removed: results of operations are susceptible to a widespread cancellation of sporting events or a general limitation of societal activity
−Removed: akin to what is widely known to have occurred in the Unites States and elsewhere during the 2020 calendar year.
−Removed: Future widespread shutdowns
−Removed: of in-person economic activity could have a materially detrimental impact on our business.
−Removed: We continue to monitor the situation and take
−Removed: appropriate actions in accordance with the recommendations and requirements of relevant authorities.
−Removed: market conditions present uncertainty as to our ability to secure additional capital, there can be no assurances that we will be able
−Removed: to secure additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, as and when necessary to continue to conduct operations.
−Removed: liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the success of our offerings and competing technological
−Removed: and market developments.
−Removed: We may need to raise funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships, or other arrangements.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that such funding, will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
−Removed: Furthermore, any equity financing
−Removed: will be dilutive to existing stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may limit our operating
−Removed: flexibility with respect to certain business matters.
−Removed: Strategic arrangements may require us to relinquish our rights or grant licenses
−Removed: to some or substantial parts of our intellectual property.
−Removed: If funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage
−Removed: ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution in net book value per share, and such
−Removed: equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of the holders of our existing capital stock.
−Removed: funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to continue operating, develop or enhance products, take advantage of
−Removed: future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating
−Removed: results, and financial condition.
−Removed: We have a history of losses.
−Removed: fiscal 2021, we had net loss of approximately $89.9 million, compared to approximately $89.2 million in fiscal 2020.
−Removed: Our accumulated
−Removed: deficit as of December 31, 2021 was approximately $252.2 million.
−Removed: We may continue to incur losses in the future if we do not achieve
−Removed: sufficient revenue to achieve and maintain profitability.
−Removed: There is no assurance that our operations will generate sufficient
−Removed: cash flows to support our continued operations in the future without needing to seek additional capital funding or borrowings.
−Removed: provide no assurance that if we need to seek such additional outside capital that it will be available on favorable terms or at all.
−Removed: Any failure to achieve and maintain profitability could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to implement our business
−Removed: plan, our results and operations, and our financial condition.
−Removed: we fail to comply with the reporting obligations of the Exchange Act and Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Sarbanes”),
−Removed: or if we fail to maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting, our business, financial condition, and results of operations,
−Removed: and investors’ confidence in us, could be materially and adversely affected.
−Removed: As a public company, we are required to comply
−Removed: with the periodic reporting obligations of the Exchange Act, including preparing annual reports, quarterly reports, and current reports.
−Removed: Our failure to prepare and disclose this information in a timely manner and meet our reporting obligations in their entirety could subject
−Removed: us to penalties under federal securities laws and regulations of the NYSE American, expose us to lawsuits, and restrict our ability to
−Removed: access financing on favorable terms, or at all.
−Removed: In addition, pursuant to Section 404 of Sarbanes, we are required to evaluate and provide
−Removed: a management report of our systems of internal control over financial reporting.
−Removed: During the evaluation and testing process of our internal
−Removed: controls, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to certify
−Removed: that our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses or significant
−Removed: deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting in the future.
−Removed: Any failure to maintain internal control over financial
−Removed: reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations.
−Removed: If we are unable
−Removed: to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm
−Removed: determines we have a material weakness or significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting, we could lose investor
−Removed: confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could decline, and we could
−Removed: be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities.
−Removed: Failure to remedy any material weakness in our
−Removed: internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies,
−Removed: could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

+Added: to Section 404 of Sarbanes, we are required to evaluate and provide a management report of our systems of internal control over financial
+Added: reporting and our independent registered public accounting firm is required to annually audit the effectiveness of our internal control
+Added: over financial reporting commencing with the year ended December 31, 2022, which has, and will continue to, require increased costs,
+Added: expenses and management resources.
+Added: During the evaluation and testing process of our internal controls, if we identify one or more material
+Added: weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to certify that our internal control over financial reporting
+Added: is effective.
+Added: We cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over
+Added: financial reporting in the future.
+Added: Any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability
+Added: to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations.
+Added: If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial
+Added: reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm determines we have a material weakness or significant
+Added: deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our
+Added: financial reports, the market price of our common stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the

+Added: Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to

+Added: Moreover, we cannot predict how future economic conditions will affect our users
+Added: and Publisher Partners and any negative impact on our users or Publisher Partners may also have an adverse impact on our results of operations
+Added: or financial condition.
+Added: A severe or prolonged economic downturn, as result of a global pandemic such as the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise,
+Added: could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our products and services and our ability to raise
+Added: additional capital when needed on favorable terms, if at all.
+Added: Any of the foregoing could harm our business and we cannot anticipate all
+Added: of the ways in which the current economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business.
+Added: RELATED TO OUR INDEBTEDNESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, AND INTERNAL CONTROL
+Added: the general economic and market conditions present uncertainty as to our ability to secure additional capital, there can be no assurances
+Added: that we will be able to secure additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, as and when necessary to continue to conduct operations.
+Added: future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the success of the Platform, our offerings, competing
+Added: technological developments, and general economic and market conditions, which have presented substantial uncertainty in recent months.
+Added: We may need to raise funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships, or other arrangements.
+Added: There can be no assurance
+Added: that such funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
+Added: Furthermore, any equity financing will be dilutive to existing
+Added: stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that may limit our operating flexibility with respect
+Added: to certain business matters.
+Added: Strategic arrangements may require us to relinquish our rights or grant licenses to some or substantial
+Added: parts of our intellectual property.
+Added: If funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders
+Added: will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution in net book value per share, and such equity securities may have rights,
+Added: preferences, or privileges senior to those of the holders of our existing capital stock.
+Added: If adequate funds are not available on acceptable
+Added: terms, we may not be able to continue operating, develop or enhance products, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive
+Added: pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
+Added: have a history of losses.
+Added: fiscal 2022, we had net loss of approximately $70,858 compared to approximately $89,940 in fiscal 2021.
+Added: Our accumulated deficit as of

+Added: We may continue to incur losses in the future if we do not achieve sufficient revenue to
+Added: achieve and maintain profitability.
+Added: There is no assurance that our operations will generate sufficient cash flows to support our continued
+Added: operations in the future without needing to seek additional capital funding or borrowings.
+Added: We can provide no assurance that if we need
+Added: to seek such additional outside capital that it will be available on favorable terms or at all.
+Added: Any failure to achieve and maintain profitability
+Added: could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to implement our business plan, our results and operations, and our financial condition.
+Added: results of operations may fluctuate significantly and may not meet our expectations or those of securities analysts and investors.
+Added: operate in an evolving industry, and as a result, our business has evolved over time such that our operating history makes it difficult
+Added: to evaluate our business and future prospects.
+Added: Our results of operations have fluctuated in the past, and future results of operations
+Added: are likely to fluctuate as well.
+Added: Although we have experienced substantial revenue growth, we may not be able to sustain this growth rate
+Added: or current revenue levels or achieve profitability.
+Added: In addition, because our business is evolving, our historical results of operations
+Added: may be of limited utility in assessing our future prospects.
+Added: We expect to face challenges, risks, and difficulties frequently experienced
+Added: by growing companies in rapidly developing industries, including those relating to:
+Added: changes in demand and pricing for our products, services and
+Added: the Platform;
+Added: developing, maintaining, and expanding relationships with Publisher
+Added: Partners and advertisers;
+Added: and developing new solutions that are adopted by and meet the needs of Publisher Partners
+Added: and advertisers;
+Added: competing against companies with a larger user and customer
+Added: base or greater financial or technical resources;
+Added: changes in the pricing policies of Publisher Partners, advertisers
+Added: and competitors;
+Added: changes in our access to valuable user data;
+Added: costs to develop and upgrade the Platform to incorporate new
+Added: technologies;
+Added: related to the acquisition of businesses, talent, technologies, or intellectual property,
+Added: including potentially significant amortization costs and possible write-downs;
+Added: seasonality in our business;

+Added: in demand as a result of changes in the macroeconomic environment, as a result of inflation,
+Added: changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates, or otherwise;
+Added: further expanding our business in other markets.
+Added: one or more of the factors above may result in significant fluctuations in our results of operations.
+Added: You should not rely on our past
+Added: results as an indicator of our future performance.
+Added: many of our expenses are based upon forecast demand and may be difficult to reduce in the short term, volatility in quarterly revenue
+Added: could cause significant variations in quarterly results of operations.
+Added: We may not forecast our revenue or expenses accurately, which
+Added: may cause our results of operations to diverge from our estimates or the expectations of securities analysts, and investors.
+Added: to meet or exceed such expectations for these or any other reasons, the trading price of our common stock could fall, and we could face
+Added: costly litigation, including securities class action lawsuits.
+Added: future litigation against us could be costly and time-consuming to defend.
+Added: have in the past and may in the future become subject to legal proceedings and claims or regulatory inquiries or proceedings that arise
+Added: in the ordinary course of business, such as claims brought by our customers and partners in connection with commercial disputes, employment
+Added: claims made by our current or former employees, or claims for reimbursement following misappropriation of customer data.
+Added: we could face claims relating to information that is published or made available on the Platform.
+Added: In particular, the nature of our business
+Added: exposes us to claims related to defamation, intellectual property rights and rights of publicity and privacy.
+Added: We might not be able to
+Added: monitor or edit a significant portion of the content that appears on the Platform.
+Added: This risk is enhanced in certain jurisdictions outside
+Added: the United States where our protection from liability for third-party actions may be unclear and where we may be less protected under
+Added: local laws than we are in the United States.
+Added: We could also face fines or orders restricting or blocking our services in particular geographies
+Added: as a result of content hosted on our services.
+Added: If any of these events occur, our business could be seriously harmed.
+Added: Further, our employees
+Added: are highly experienced, having worked in our industry for many years and.
+Added: Prior employers may try to assert that our employees are breaching
+Added: restrictive covenants and other limitations imposed by past employment arrangements.
+Added: We believe that all of our employees are free to
+Added: work for us in their various capacities and have not breached past employment arrangements.
+Added: Notwithstanding our care in our employment
+Added: practices, a prior employer may assert a claim.
+Added: Such claims will be costly to contest, highly disruptive to our work environment, and
+Added: may be detrimental to our operations.
+Added: insurance might not cover any such claims that rise in the ordinary course of business, might not provide sufficient payments to cover
+Added: all the costs to resolve one or more such claims, and might not continue to be available on terms acceptable to us.
+Added: A claim brought against
+Added: us that is uninsured or underinsured could result in unanticipated costs, thereby reducing our results of operations and leading analysts
+Added: or potential investors to reduce their expectations of our performance, which could reduce the trading price of our common stock.

−Removed: However, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, may limit the NOLs we may use in
−Removed: any year for U.S.
−Removed: federal income tax purposes in the event of certain changes in ownership of our Company.
−Removed: If an “ownership change”
−Removed: occurs, Section 382 would impose an annual limit on the amount of pre-ownership change NOLs and other tax attributes we can use to reduce
−Removed: our taxable income, potentially increasing and accelerating our liability for income taxes, and also potentially causing those tax attributes
−Removed: to expire unused.
−Removed: In addition, our ability to use our net operating losses is dependent on our ability to generate taxable income, and
−Removed: the net operating losses could expire before we generate sufficient taxable income to make use of our net operating losses.
−Removed: A significant portion of our revenues are
−Removed: derived from a single customer.
−Removed: If we were to lose this customer, our revenues could decrease significantly.
−Removed: fiscal 2021, we had revenues from one customer that comprised approximately 11.3% of our annual revenue.
−Removed: Therefore, we are
−Removed: highly dependent on a single customer to generate a material percentage of our annual revenue.
−Removed: The loss of this customer, or a significant

−Removed: the Original PowerPoint is proven to be a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act because it is deemed to be a prospectus that does
−Removed: not meet the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, we could have a contingent liability arising out of such violation.
−Removed: liability would depend upon the number of shares purchased by the “recipients” of the Original PowerPoint that may have constituted
−Removed: a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act.
−Removed: If a claim were brought by any such recipients of the Original PowerPoint and a court
−Removed: were to conclude that the public dissemination of such Original PowerPoint constituted a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act,
−Removed: we could be required to repurchase the shares sold to investors who reviewed such Original PowerPoint, at the original purchase price,
−Removed: plus statutory interest from the date of purchase, for claims brought during a period of one year from the date of their purchase of

−Removed: We could also incur considerable expense in contesting any such claims.
−Removed: Further, if our use of the Original PowerPoint
−Removed: is deemed to be a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act, the Commission or relevant state regulators could impose monetary fines
−Removed: or other sanctions under relevant federal and state securities laws.
−Removed: Such payments, expenses and fines, if required, could significantly
−Removed: reduce the amount of working capital we have available for our operations and business plan, delay or prevent us from completing our
−Removed: plan of operations, or force us to raise additional funding, which funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.
