FreeCast, Inc. 10-Q/A

Item 1A. Risk Factors Summary of Risk Factors Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the information in this prospectus prior to investing in our Class A common stock. These risks are discussed more fully in the next section entitled “Risk Factors.” These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: ● We may not be able to continue as a going concern without additional financing. ● We are reliant on a limited number of customers, and the loss of one or more of these customers would adversely affect our business. ● If our efforts to build strong brand identity and improve subscriber satisfaction and loyalty are not successful, we may not be able to attract or retain subscribers, and our operating results may be adversely affected. ● If we are unable to continue using our current marketing channels, our ability to attract new subscribers may be adversely affected. ● Our reported subscriber count includes inactive accounts and may not be indicative of current platform engagement or monetization potential. ● Although we do not distribute content through our service, if we are sued for content accessed through our service, our results of operations would be adversely affected. ● Our business depends on access to additional capital, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. ● We rely heavily on our proprietary technology to locate and organize online video, radio and games and to manage other aspects of our operations, and the failure of this technology to operate effectively could adversely affect our business. ● Any significant disruption in our computer systems or those of third-party service providers that we rely on could adversely impact our business. ● Our reputation and relationships with subscribers would be harmed if our subscriber data, particularly billing data, were to be accessed by unauthorized people. ● Intellectual property claims against us could be costly and result in the loss of significant rights related to, among other things, our Web site, technology, title selection processes and marketing activities. ● We depend on key management as well as experienced and capable personnel generally, and any failure to attract, motivate and retain our staff could severely hinder our ability to maintain and grow our business. ● Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer also serve as executive officers of other companies and such other positions may create conflicts of interest for such officers in the future. ● Changes in consumer viewing habits, including more widespread usage of demand methods of entertainment video consumption could adversely affect our business. 39 ● Our business depends on continued and unimpeded access to the Internet at non-discriminatory prices, and Internet access providers and Internet backbone providers may be able to block, limit, degrade or charge for access to certain of our products and services, which could lead to additional expenses and the loss of users. ● Changes in how network operators handle and charge for access to data that travel across their networks could adversely impact our business. ● An active trading market for our Class A common stock may not develop or be sustained, which could limit your ability to sell your shares. ● The market price of our Class A common stock may be highly volatile, including experiencing extreme volatility that may be unrelated to our operating performance. ● The dual class structure of our common stock will have the effect of concentrating voting control with our founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, William A. Mobley, Jr., which will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors and the approval of any change of control transaction, and that may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock. ● We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules and, as a result, qualify for and rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. As a result, our shareholders do not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that cannot rely on such exemptions and are subject to such requirements. ● If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, if they change their recommendations regarding our Class A common stock adversely, or if we fail to achieve analysts’ earnings estimates, the market price and trading volume of our Class A common stock could decline. ● If we are unable to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, Nasdaq will delist our Class A common stock. ● We do not intend to pay dividends, so any return on investment will depend on stock price appreciation. ● Sales of our Class A common stock under the Equity Purchase Agreement (the “EPA”) may result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders, and we may be required to issue additional shares to access the full commitment. ● The purchase price of shares sold under the EPA will fluctuate based on market conditions, and we cannot predict the amount of proceeds we will receive. ● The Selling Shareholder will purchase shares at a discount to the market price, which could cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline. ● Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from our sale of our Class A common stock under our equity line of credit, and you may not agree with how we use the proceeds. ● The structure of the EPA may encourage short selling or hedging activity, which could adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock. ● For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, which apply to other public companies. ● If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, shareholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our Class A common stock. ● In the past, we have had weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. ● Substantial future sales or perceived potential sales of our Class A common stock in the public market could cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline significantly. ● Anti-takeover provisions in our governing documents could delay or prevent a change in control. 40 RISK FACTORS Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this prospectus, including the financial statements, the notes thereto and the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this prospectus before deciding whether to invest in shares of our Class A common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. Risks Relating to Our Business We may not be able to continue as a going concern without additional financing, and if such financing is not available to us or is not available to us on acceptable terms, we may be forced to cease operations. We have a limited operating history and have incurred recurring losses from operations. As of December 31, 2025, we have an accumulated deficit of $200,881,532, and a stockholders’ deficit of $3,547,862. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, we incurred a net loss of $2,783,982 and $3,929,518, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, we incurred a net loss of $5,646,331 and $7,489,323, respectively. Our failure to generate sufficient revenues, effectively manage expenses or raise additional capital could adversely affect our ability to achieve our intended business objectives. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We funded our initial operations primarily through sales of Class A common stock to accredited investors, debt financing, and exchange of Class A common stock for services received by us. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our shareholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct business. If we are not able to raise additional capital when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to: (i) significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of new products; (ii) seek collaborators for further development and commercialization of our products; or (iii) relinquish or otherwise dispose of some or all of our rights to technologies or the products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize. Our SmartGuide relies on a technology that we license from Nextelligence, Inc. and any interruption of our rights as a licensee could have a significant adverse impact on some major aspects of our business, such as product development, customer retention and sales. Our SmartGuide has been built on technology developed by Nextelligence, Inc., or Nextelligence, and used by us pursuant to a Technology License and Development Agreement (as amended, the “Technology Agreement”). Nextelligence is principally owned and controlled by William A. Mobley, Jr., our founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. The Technology Agreement provides that Nextelligence is obligated to provide all further development, improvement, modification, maintenance, management and enhancement services related to the technology. The Technology Agreement may be terminated if, among other things, we breach the Technology Agreement, if we become insolvent or subject to bankruptcy laws, or if there is a change of control (as defined in the Technology Agreement). If we were not able to use the technology for any reason, it could have a significant adverse impact on some major aspects of our business, such as product development, customer retention and sales. 41 If our efforts to attract and retain subscribers are not successful, our business will be adversely affected. Our ability going forward to attract and retain subscribers will depend on our ability to consistently provide a robust, valuable and quality experience for selecting and viewing TV shows, movies and channels and access to online radio stations. Furthermore, the relative service levels, content offerings, pricing and related features of competitors to our service may adversely impact our ability to attract and retain subscribers. If consumers do not perceive our service offering to be of value, or if we introduce new or adjust existing services that are not favorably received by them, we may not be able to attract subscribers. In addition, many of our subscribers are re-joining our service or originate from word-of-mouth advertising from existing subscribers. Our attracting and retaining subscribers may depend on our ability to: ● offer a secure platform; ● provide tools and services that meet the evolving needs of consumers; ● provide a wide range of high-quality product and service offerings; ● enhance the attractiveness of our platform; ● maintain the quality of our customer service; and ● continue adapting to the changing demands of the market. If our efforts to satisfy our existing subscribers are not successful, we may not be able to attract new subscribers, and as a result, our ability to maintain or grow our business will be adversely affected. Subscribers cancel their subscription to our service for many reasons, including a perception that they do not use the service sufficiently, the need to cut household expenses, availability of content is limited, competitive services provide a better value or experience, and customer service issues are not satisfactorily resolved. We must continually add new subscribers both to replace subscribers who cancel and to grow our business beyond our current subscriber base. If too many of our subscribers cancel our service, or if we are unable to attract new subscribers in numbers sufficient to grow our business, our operating results will be adversely affected. If we are unable to successfully compete with current and new competitors in both retaining our existing subscribers and attracting new subscribers, our business will be adversely affected. Further, if excessive numbers of subscribers cancel our service, we may be required to incur significantly higher marketing expenditures than we currently anticipate in order to replace these subscribers with new subscribers. Our reported subscriber count includes inactive accounts and may not be indicative of current platform engagement or monetization potential. We define a “subscriber” as any individual or entity that has registered for access to our platform, whether on a paid or free (ad-supported) tier basis. This metric represents cumulative account registrations since inception, and includes accounts that may be dormant, inactive or no longer engaged with the platform. We do not currently remove accounts from our subscriber count based on inactivity or lack of engagement, and we do not separately report the number of active users. As a result, our reported subscriber figures may significantly overstate the number of users who actively use the platform, generate advertising impressions, or contribute to revenue in any given period. Investors should not rely on our total subscriber count as a measure of current platform usage, engagement, or monetization capacity. If we were to adopt an active-user metric or reclassify inactive accounts, the resulting figures could be materially lower than the subscriber counts currently reported. If we are not able to continue to innovate or if we fail to adapt to changes in our industry, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected. The market for online video, radio and games is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, new service and product introductions and changing customer demands. Although we have developed new products and services in order to meet customer demands, new technologies and evolving business models for delivery of entertainment video continue to develop at a fast pace and we may not be able to keep up with all of the changes. Consumers are afforded various means for consuming online video, radio and games. The various economic models underlying these differing means of entertainment video delivery include subscription, pay-per-view, ad-supported and piracy-based models. Several competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. New entrants may enter the market with unique service offerings or approaches to distributing online video, radio and games and other companies also may enter into business combinations or alliances that strengthen their competitive positions. The changes and developments taking place in our industry may also require us to re-evaluate our business model and adopt significant changes to our long-term strategies and business plan. If we are unable to successfully or profitably compete with current and new competitors, programs and technologies, our business will be adversely affected, and we may not be able to increase or maintain market share, revenues or profitability. 42 We may not be able to maintain or grow our revenue or our business. Since the beginning of fiscal year 2019, we have been focused on investing in and developing new technologies, which we anticipate will drive future growth and give us a sustainable revenue stream. In addition, we have transitioned to a “multi license” model from a “single-license” model. We believe that with new technology, coupled with our new sales and marketing strategy focused on generating revenue through free registrations of FreeCast.com by partnering with retailers, manufacturers, operators and/or distributors of streaming devices, mobile phones, broadband carriers, broadcasters, property management, multi-dwelling developers, builders, and various mass consumer communities of streaming tv watchers in exchange for a negotiated revenue sharing percentage with each distributor on a case-by-case basis. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue from distributor fees or fees from premium content purchased by subscribers through our SmartGuide to fund our operations in the future. In addition, our growth may become stagnant for many other reasons, including decreasing consumer spending, increasing competition, slowing growth of the consumption of online video, radio and games, changes in government policies or general economic conditions. If we are not able to manage our growth, our business could be adversely affected. We are currently engaged in an effort to grow our service by promoting online access renewal, developing new products, expanding internationally and to residents of rural areas. As we undertake all these changes, if we are not able to manage the growing complexity of our business, including improving, refining or revising our systems and operational practices, our business may be adversely affected. We are reliant on a limited number of customers, and the loss of one or more of these customers would adversely affect our business. For the six months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, more than 39% and 52%, respectively, of our total revenue was derived from two related party customers. The loss of either customer, or a substantial reduction in their business with us, would adversely affect our financial performance and our business. Our reliance on a small customer base limits our ability to mitigate downturns in specific customer relationships or industry segments. Strategic decisions made by these customers could adversely impact our operations, including pricing, service levels, and product development priorities. Financial instability or delayed payments from these customers could negatively affect our liquidity and working capital. We cannot be certain that we will retain these customers or replace the revenue if we lose them. Any disruption in our relationship with these two customers would likely have an adverse impact on our financial condition and business. If our efforts to build strong brand identity and improve subscriber satisfaction and loyalty are not successful, we may not be able to attract or retain subscribers, and our operating results may be adversely affected. We must continue to build and maintain strong brand identity for our products and services, which have expanded over time. We believe that strong brand identity will be important in attracting subscribers. If our efforts to promote and maintain our existing brands and brands we develop in the future are not successful, our operating results and our ability to attract subscribers may be adversely affected. From time to time, subscribers’ express dissatisfaction with our service, including, among other things, title availability, processing and service interruptions. To the extent dissatisfaction with our service is widespread or not adequately addressed, our brand may be adversely impacted and our ability to attract and retain subscribers may be adversely affected. With respect to our planned international expansion, we will also need to establish our brand and to the extent we are not successful, our business in new markets would be adversely impacted. If we are unable to manage the mix of subscriber acquisition sources, our subscriber levels and marketing expenses may be adversely affected. We utilize a broad mix of marketing programs to promote our service to potential new subscribers. We obtain new subscribers through our online marketing efforts, including paid search listings, banner ads, text links and permission-based e-mails. In addition, we have engaged in various offline marketing programs, including TV and radio advertising, direct mail and print campaigns, consumer package and mailing insertions. We maintain an active public relations program to increase awareness of our service and drive subscriber acquisition. We opportunistically adjust our mix of marketing programs to acquire new subscribers at a reasonable cost with the intention of achieving overall financial goals. If we are unable to maintain or replace our sources of subscribers with similarly effective sources, or if the cost of our existing sources increases, our subscriber levels and marketing expenses may be adversely affected. 43 If we are unable to continue using our current marketing channels, our ability to attract new subscribers may be adversely affected. We may not be able to continue to support the marketing of our service by current means if such activities are no longer available to us, become cost prohibitive or are adverse to our business. If companies that currently promote our service decide that we are negatively impacting their business, that they want to compete more directly with our business or enter a similar business or decide to exclusively support our competitors, we may no longer be given access to such marketing through them. In addition, if advertising rates increase, we may curtail marketing efforts or otherwise experience an increase in our marketing costs. Laws and regulations impose restrictions on the use of certain channels, including commercial e-mail and direct mail. We may limit or discontinue use or support of e-mail and other activities if we become concerned that subscribers or potential subscribers deem such activities intrusive, which could affect our goodwill or brand. If the available marketing channels are curtailed, our ability to attract new subscribers may be adversely affected. Although we do not distribute content through our service, if we are sued for content accessed through our service, our results of operations would be adversely affected. Although we do not distribute content through our service, we face potential liability for negligence, copyright, patent or trademark infringement or other claims based on content accessed through our service. We also may face potential liability for content uploaded from our users in connection with our community-related content or reviews. If we become liable for such activities, then our business may suffer. Litigation to defend these claims could be costly and the expenses and damages arising from any liability could harm our results of operations. We cannot assure you that we are insured or indemnified to cover claims of these types or liability that may be imposed on us. We rely upon a number of partners to offer our service. We currently offer subscribers the ability to easily navigate available sources of online video, radio and games and consume such media through their computers and other Internet-connected devices. If we are not successful in maintaining existing and creating new relationships with content providers, or if we encounter technological, content licensing or other impediments to our ability to organize content, our ability to grow our business could be adversely impacted. Furthermore, mobile devices and TVs are manufactured and sold by entities other than FreeCast and while these entities should be responsible for the devices’ performance, the connection between these devices and FreeCast may nonetheless result in consumer dissatisfaction toward FreeCast and such dissatisfaction could result in claims against us or otherwise adversely impact our business. Any significant disruption in our computer systems or those of third-party service providers that we rely on could adversely impact our business. Subscribers and potential subscribers access our service through our website or their TVs, computers, game consoles, or streaming or mobile devices. Our reputation and ability to attract, retain and serve subscribers depend on the reliable performance of our computer systems and those of third-party service providers that we utilize in our operations. Interruptions in these systems, or with the Internet in general, including discriminatory network management practices, could make our service unavailable or degraded. Service interruptions, errors in our software or the unavailability of computer systems used in our operations could diminish the overall attractiveness of our service to existing and potential subscribers. Our servers and those of third-party service providers we use in our operations are vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, cyber-attacks and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions and delays in our service and operations, as well as loss, misuse or theft of data. Our website periodically experiences directed attacks intended to cause a disruption in service. Any successful attempt to disrupt our service or internal systems could harm our business, be expensive to remedy and damage our reputation. Our insurance does not cover expenses related to attacks on our website or internal systems, and efforts to prevent such attacks are costly and may limit the functionality of our services. 44 We rely on third-party service providers, including cloud computing and distributed infrastructure platforms, to support critical aspects of our operations, including data processing, storage and service delivery. Because we cannot easily switch our operations to alternative providers, any disruption of or interference with our use of these third-party services, whether due to technological, operational or business-related issues, could adversely impact our operations and the experience of our subscribers. In addition, fires, floods, earthquakes, power losses, telecommunications failures and other catastrophic events could damage our systems or those of our third-party service providers or cause them to fail completely. As we do not maintain fully redundant systems, any such disruption could result in prolonged downtime, loss of subscribers and harm to our business and results of operations. We rely heavily on our proprietary technology to locate and organize online video, radio and games and to manage other aspects of our operations, and the failure of this technology to operate effectively could adversely affect our business. We continually enhance or modify the technology used for our operations. We cannot be sure that any enhancements or other modifications we make to our operations will achieve the intended results or otherwise be of value to our subscribers. Future enhancements and modifications to our technology could consume considerable resources. If we are unable to maintain and enhance our technology, our ability to retain existing subscribers and to add new subscribers may be impaired. In addition, if our technology or that of third-parties we utilize in our operations fails or otherwise operates improperly, our ability to retain existing subscribers and to add new subscribers may be impaired. Also, any harm to our subscribers’ personal computers or other devices caused by software used in our operations could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Privacy concerns and restrictions on our ability to use subscriber data could adversely impact our business and reputation. In the ordinary course of business and, in particular, in connection with merchandising our service to our subscribers, we collect and utilize data supplied by our subscribers. We currently face certain legal obligations regarding the manner in which we treat such information. Other businesses have been criticized by privacy groups and governmental bodies for attempts to link personal identities and other information to data collected on the Internet regarding users’ browsing and other habits. Increased regulation of data utilization practices, including self-regulation or findings under existing laws, which limit our ability to use collected data, could have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, if we were to disclose data about our subscribers in a manner that was objectionable to them, our business reputation could be adversely affected, and we could face potential legal claims that could impact our operating results. Our reputation and relationships with subscribers would be harmed if our subscriber data, particularly billing data, were accessed by unauthorized people. We maintain personal data regarding our subscribers, including names and, in many cases, mailing addresses. With respect to billing data, such as credit card numbers, we rely on licensed encryption and authentication technology to secure such information. We take measures to protect against unauthorized intrusion into our subscribers’ data. If, despite these measures, we, or our payment processing services, experience any unauthorized intrusion into our subscribers’ data, current and potential subscribers may become unwilling to provide the information to us necessary for them to become subscribers, we could face legal claims, and our business could be adversely affected. Similarly, if a well-publicized breach of the consumer data security of any other major consumer Web site were to occur, there could be a general public loss of confidence in the use of the Internet for commerce transactions which could adversely affect our business. In addition, we do not obtain signatures from subscribers in connection with the use of credit cards by them. Under current credit card practices, to the extent we do not obtain cardholders’ signatures, we are liable for fraudulent credit card transactions, even when the associated financial institution approves payment of the orders. From time to time, fraudulent credit cards are used on our Web site to obtain service. Typically, these credit cards have not been registered as stolen and are therefore not rejected by our automatic authorization safeguards. While we do have a number of other safeguards in place, we nonetheless experience some loss from these fraudulent transactions. We do not currently carry insurance against the risk of fraudulent credit card transactions. A failure to adequately control fraudulent credit card transactions would harm our business and results of operations. 45 We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of trademark, copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions, to protect our proprietary technology, business processes and other intellectual property. These measures may not be sufficient to prevent unauthorized use, disclosure or misappropriation of our intellectual property. Confidentiality agreements with employees, contractors and other third parties may be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. In addition, policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult, time-consuming and costly, and we may be unable to detect or prevent such unauthorized use. Our trade secrets may be disclosed, become known to competitors or be independently developed by others. If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could be adversely affected, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially harmed. Intellectual property claims against us could be costly and result in the loss of significant rights. We may be subject to claims by third parties that we have infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated their intellectual property rights. These claims may arise from our use of technology, content, business processes or other aspects of our operations. As the number of patents and other intellectual property rights in our industry increases, the risk of such claims may also increase. Defending against intellectual property claims, regardless of their merit, can be costly, time-consuming and may divert the attention of management and technical personnel. If we are unable to successfully defend against such claims, we may be required to pay damages, enter into costly licensing agreements, modify or discontinue certain products or services, or develop alternative technologies, any of which could adversely affect our business. In addition, we may be unable to obtain licenses to use intellectual property on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Any such claims or limitations could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are unable to protect our domain names, our reputation and brand could be adversely affected. We currently hold various domain names relating to our brand, including freecast.com. Failure to protect our domain names could adversely affect our reputation and brand and make it more difficult for users to find our Web site and our service. The acquisition and maintenance of domain names generally are regulated by governmental agencies and their designees. The regulation of domain names in the U.S. may change in the near future. Governing bodies may establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, we may be unable to acquire or maintain relevant domain names. Furthermore, the relationship between regulations governing domain names and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights is unclear. We may be unable, without significant cost or at all, to prevent third-parties from acquiring domain names that are similar to, infringe upon or otherwise decrease the value of our trademarks and other proprietary rights. We depend on key management as well as experienced and capable personnel generally, and any failure to attract, motivate and retain our staff could severely hinder our ability to maintain and grow our business. We rely on the continued service of our senior management, including our founder and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors, William A. Mobley, Jr., other members of our executive team and other key employees to develop our products, services and solutions. In our industry, there is substantial and continuous competition for highly skilled business, product development, technical and other personnel. As a result, our human resources organization focuses significant efforts on attracting and retaining individuals in key technology positions. If we lose the services of any member of management or key personnel and are unable to attract or locate suitable or qualified replacements, or otherwise hire talented personnel, we may incur additional expenses to recruit and train new staff, making it more difficult to meet our business objectives, which could severely disrupt our business and growth. In addition, our ability to execute our strategy depends in part on our ability to engage and retain qualified third-party contractors. 46 Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer also serve as executive officers of other companies and such other positions may create conflicts of interest for such officers in the future. William A. Mobley, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, works full-time for us, devoting approximately 50 hours a week to our business. Mr. Mobley also works part-time for Nextelligence and serves as its Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors. Mr. Mobley’s duties to Nextelligence may compete for his full attention to our business; accordingly, he may have conflicts of interest in allocating time between those separate business activities. Jonathan Morris, our Chief Financial Officer, works full-time for us, devoting approximately 45 hours a week to our business. Mr. Morris also advises two special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs), ESH Acquisition Corp. and Twelve Seas Investment Co III, on a limited basis as a consultant and their Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Morris’ duties to these other businesses may compete for his full attention to our business; accordingly, he may have conflicts of interest in allocating time between those separate business activities. Our brand name and our business may be harmed by aggressive marketing and communications strategies of our competitors. Due to competition in our industry, we have been and may be the target of incomplete, inaccurate and false statements about our company and our services that could damage our management’s reputation and our brand and materially deter consumers from using our service. Our brand name and our business may be harmed if we are unable to promptly respond to our competitors’ misleading marketing efforts. Risks Related to our Industry Changes in consumer viewing habits, including more widespread usage of demand methods of entertainment video consumption could adversely affect our business. The manner in which consumers seek entertainment online is changing rapidly. Digital cable, wireless and Internet content providers are continuing to improve technologies, content offerings, user interfaces and business models that allow consumers to access entertainment video-on-demand with interactive capabilities. The devices through which online video, radio and games can be consumed are also changing rapidly. For example, content from cable service providers may be viewed on laptops and mobile devices and content from Internet content providers may be viewed on TVs. If competitors providing similar services address the changes in consumer habits in a manner that is better able to meet content distributor and consumer needs and expectations, our business could be adversely affected. Our business depends on continued and unimpeded access to the Internet at non-discriminatory prices, and Internet access providers and Internet backbone providers may be able to block, limit, degrade or charge for access to certain of our products and services, which could lead to additional expenses and the loss of users. Our products and services depend on the ability of our customers’ viewers to access the Internet, and certain of our customers’ products require significant bandwidth to work effectively. Currently, this access is provided by companies that have significant and increasing market power in the broadband and Internet access marketplace, including incumbent telephone companies, cable companies and mobile communications companies. Some of these providers have stated that they may take measures that could degrade, disrupt or increase the cost of user access by restricting or prohibiting the use of their infrastructure to support or facilitate offerings, or by charging increased fees to provide offerings, while others, including some of the largest providers of broadband internet access services (ISPs), have committed to not engaging in such behavior. 47 The ability of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to regulate broadband Internet access services was called into question by an April 2010 ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The FCC then proposed rules regulating broadband Internet access, but on January 14, 2014, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the net neutrality rules adopted by the FCC, determining that the FCC did not have the authority to issue or enforce net neutrality rules, as it had failed to identify certain service providers as “common carriers.” On February 26, 2015, the FCC adopted a new rule that reclassifies broadband Internet access service as a telecommunication service and regulates broadband Internet access as a public utility (Title II Order). In 2016, a divided panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the Title II Order, concluding that the FCC’s classification of broadband Internet access service was permissible. However, under President Donald Trump’s administration, the FCC reversed course and in December 2017 adopted a new rule referred to as the Restoring Internet Freedom Order, which went into effect on June 11, 2018. The Restoring Internet Freedom Order (RIFO): (i) reinstated the information service classification of broadband Internet access service; (ii) reinstated the determination that mobile broadband Internet access service is not a commercial mobile service; and (iii) eliminated the Internet conduct standard and the non-exhaustive list of factors intended to guide application of that rule. On October 1, 2019, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld most provisions of the RIFO. One aspect of the RIFO that the court did not uphold relates to the FCC’s assertion that it could pre-empt state-level actions involving Net Neutrality and the Open Internet. More than 30 states have introduced bills to add their own net neutrality protections, several of which have gone into effect. The U.S. House of Representatives on April 10, 2019, passed a bill, called the Save the Internet Act, requiring internet service providers to treat all online content the same. The U.S. Senate, however, did not pass the bill. On July 9, 2021, President Joe Biden signed Executive Order 14036 (EO), “Promoting Competition in the American Economy,” a sweeping array of initiatives across the executive branch. Among them included instructions to the FCC to restore the net neutrality rules under the Title II Order that had been undone during the prior administration. In June 2024, the FCC adopted a new rule as instructed under the EO referred to as the Safeguarding and Securing the Open Internet rule (SSOI). SSOI restored Title II Order’s net neutrality regulations by reclassifying broadband Internet access service as a telecommunications service, making ISPs “common carriers” subject to stricter regulations for non-discriminatory access and oversight on pricing and service quality. On January 2, 2025, however, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit struck down the SSOI, ruling that the FCC incorrectly classified ISPs as telecommunications service providers, rather than non-common carrier providers of information services, and therefore exceeded its authority in imposing the net neutrality regulations. Unless Congress passes legislation that supersedes the RIFO, it is possible that broadband service providers could impose restrictions on bandwidth and service delivery that may adversely impact our download speeds or ability to deliver content over those facilities, or impose significant end user or other fees that could impact the cost of our services to end users, or our delivery costs. If no action is taken by Congress, current and future actions by broadband Internet access providers may also result in limitations on access to our services, a loss of existing users or increased costs to us, our users or our customers, thereby impairing our ability to attract new users, or limiting our opportunities and models for revenue and growth. Changes in how network operators handle and charge for access to data that travel across their networks could adversely impact our business. We rely upon the ability of consumers to access our service through the Internet. To the extent that network operators implement usage-based pricing, including meaningful bandwidth caps, or otherwise try to monetize access to their networks by data providers, we could incur greater operating expenses, and our subscriber acquisition and retention could be negatively impacted. Most network operators that provide consumers with access to the Internet also provide these consumers with multichannel video programming. As such, companies like Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Cablevision have an incentive to use their network infrastructure in a manner adverse to our continued growth and success. While we believe that consumer demand, regulatory oversight and competition will help limit these incentives, to the extent that network operators are able to provide preferential treatment to their data as opposed to ours, our industry and business could be negatively impacted. 48 Although we are now operating our Platform-as-a-Service, Broadcast-Enabled Streaming TV and Direct-to-Mobile deployment models, these offerings remain relatively new and there can be no assurance that they will achieve broad market acceptance. We have developed three deployment models— Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Broadcast-Enabled Streaming TV (BEST), and Direct-to-Mobile (D2M)—that are intended to enable telecom operators, ISPs, broadcasters, and other partners to launch branded streaming services using our infrastructure. These models represent new and evolving business lines that have not yet generated significant revenue. There can be no assurance that potential partners will adopt these deployment models, that we will be able to successfully integrate broadcast-to-streaming conversion or digital rights management technologies at scale or that market conditions will support the pricing and revenue-sharing structures contemplated by these offerings. If these deployment models fail to gain market acceptance, our growth strategy and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Our BEST model is subject to regulatory uncertainty related to broadcast standards and Over-the-Air television policy. Our BEST model operates at the intersection of traditional over-the-air broadcasting and internet streaming, an area subject to evolving federal regulation. Changes in FCC policy regarding broadcast encryption, ATSC 3.0 implementation timelines, digital rights management requirements or over-the-air (OTA) spectrum allocation could affect the viability or cost-effectiveness of our BEST deployment model. Additionally, our BEST model depends on cooperation from local broadcasters who may face their own regulatory constraints or may prefer competing technology solutions. Uncertainty in the regulatory environment for broadcast-to-streaming conversion could delay adoption by broadcast partners and adversely affect our ability to deploy BEST at scale. Our D2M platform depends on telecom operator and ISP adoption, and our failure to secure and maintain these partnerships could limit our growth. Our D2M deployment model is designed for distribution through telecom operators and ISPs. The success of this model depends on our ability to negotiate and maintain favorable partnership agreements with these entities, many of which have significantly greater resources and bargaining power than we do. Telecom operators and ISPs may choose to develop competing in-house solutions, partner with larger competitors, or decline to prioritize video distribution services. Additionally, the delivery of video through 5G mobile broadband, satellite connectivity, and other networks contemplated by D2M is subject to network capacity constraints, coverage limitations, and the pace of infrastructure deployment by third-party carriers over which we have no control. Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock An active trading market for our Class A common stock may not develop or be sustained, which could limit your ability to sell your shares. Prior to the listing of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq, there was no public market for our securities, and there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for our Class A common stock will develop or be sustained. The development and maintenance of an active trading market depends on a number of factors, including the level of investor interest, the number of shares available for trading, the presence of market makers, and the coverage of our company by securities analysts. If an active trading market does not develop or is not sustained, low trading volume may make it difficult for shareholders to sell their shares at or near prevailing market prices, or at all. The absence of a liquid trading market may also impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of equity securities and may limit our ability to use our Class A common stock as consideration in future strategic transactions. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their shares at desired times or prices. 49 The market price of our Class A common stock may be highly volatile, including experiencing extreme volatility that may be unrelated to our operating performance. Certain recent initial public offerings of companies with public floats comparable to our anticipated public float have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective companies. We may experience similar volatility, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of our Class A common stock. In addition to the risks described elsewhere in this prospectus, the market price of our Class A common stock may be subject to significant volatility due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control or unrelated to our operating performance. Recently, companies with comparable public floats and initial public offering sizes have experienced instances of rapid stock price increases followed by significant declines, and such price movements were seemingly unrelated to the respective companies’ underlying performance. Our anticipated public float may amplify the impact of trading activity by a limited number of shareholders, which could cause our share price to deviate, potentially significantly, from a price that more accurately reflects the underlying performance of our business. If our Class A common stock experiences significant price volatility, including fluctuations that are unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition, investors may incur substantial losses. Such volatility may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of our Class A common stock and may contribute to a lack of confidence in the market for our shares. The dual class structure of our common stock will have the effect of concentrating voting control with our founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, William A. Mobley, Jr., which will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including the election of directors and the approval of any change of control transaction, and that may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock. Our Class B common stock has 15 votes per share, and our Class A common stock, which is the stock being offered by means of this prospectus, has one vote per share. Mr. Mobley holds, collectively with his permitted entities, and controls all of our outstanding shares of our Class B common stock. Accordingly, upon the closing of this offering, assuming all of the 6,946,980 Class B shares that were converted into Class A shares and registered for sale by Mr. Mobley in connection with a direct listing of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq are sold and not converted back to Class B shares, he will hold approximately 75.55% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock, even if his stock ownership represents less than 50% of the outstanding aggregate number of shares of our capital stock. As a result, Mr. Mobley will be able to significantly influence matters submitted to our shareholders for approval, including the election of directors, amendments of our organizational documents and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets or other major corporate transactions. Mr. Mobley may have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated control may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our company, could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their capital stock as part of a sale of our company and might ultimately affect the market price of our Class A common stock. Future transfers by Mr. Mobley will generally result in those shares converting into shares of Class A common stock, subject to limited exceptions, such as certain transfers affected for estate planning or charitable purposes. In addition, each share of Class B common stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A common stock upon the death of Mr. Mobley. For information about our dual class structure, see the section titled “Description of Capital Stock.” 50 We cannot predict the effect our dual-class structure may have on the market price of our Class A common stock. We cannot predict whether our dual-class structure will result in a lower or more volatile market price of our Class A common stock, adverse publicity or other adverse consequences. For example, certain index providers have announced and implemented restrictions on including companies with multiple-class share structures in certain of their indices. In July 2017, FTSE Russell announced that it would require new constituents of its indices to have greater than 5% of the company’s voting rights (aggregated across all of its equity securities, including those that are not listed or trading) in the hands of public shareholders. Pursuant to the FTSE Russell, this 5% minimum voting rights requirement only applies to companies assigned a Developed market nationality within the FTSE Equity Country Classification scheme, and, based upon the FTSE Equity Country Classification Interim Announcement published on March 30, 2023, the United States is assigned a Developed market nationality within the FTSE. In addition, in July 2017, the S&P Dow Jones announced that it would no longer admit companies with multiple-class share structures to certain of its indices; however, in October 2022, the S&P Dow Jones announced that it was conducting a consultation with market participants on the multiple share class eligibility methodology requirement via a survey that closed on December 15, 2022. Subsequently, the S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that, effective as of April 17, 2023, companies with multiple share class structures will be considered eligible for the S&P Composite 1500 and its component indices, including the S&P 500, the S&P MidCap 400 and the S&P SmallCap 600, if they meet all other eligibility criteria. Also in 2017, MSCI, a leading stock index provider, opened public consultations on its treatment of no-vote and multi-class structures and temporarily barred new multi-class listings from certain of its indices; however, in October 2018, MSCI announced its decision to include equity securities “with unequal voting structures” in its indices. Additionally, MSCI announced that the securities of companies exhibiting unequal voting structures will be eligible for addition to the MSCI ACWI IMI and other relevant indexes effective March 1, 2019. Currently, MSCI offers the MSCI World Voting Rights-Adjusted Index. This index specifically includes voting rights in the weighting criteria and construction methodology and aims to better align constituent weights with economic rights and voting power, while continuing to represent the performance of a broad opportunity set. The dual-class structure of our common stock may make us ineligible for inclusion in certain indices and, as a result, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and other investment vehicles that attempt to passively track those indices would not invest in our Class A common stock. In addition, it is unclear what effect, if any, such policies will have on the valuations of publicly-traded companies excluded from such indices, but it is possible that they may adversely affect valuations, as compared to similar companies that are included. Due to the dual-class structure of our common stock, we may be excluded from certain indices, and we cannot assure you that other stock indices (including Nasdaq) will not take similar actions. Given the sustained flow of investment funds into passive strategies that seek to track certain indices, exclusion from certain stock indices may preclude investment by many of these funds and could make our Class A common stock less attractive to other investors. As a result, the market price of our Class A common stock may be adversely affected. We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules and, as a result, qualify for and rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. As a result, our shareholders do not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that cannot rely on such exemptions and are subject to such requirements. William A. Mobley, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman individually owns and holds a majority of the combined voting power of our outstanding capital stock. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq, including, but not limited to, the requirement that: ● a majority of the board of directors consist of directors who qualify as “independent” as defined under the Nasdaq listing rules; ● its board of directors has a nominating and corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and ● its board of directors has a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. We intend to rely on some or all of these exemptions so long as we remain a “controlled company.” As a result, we may not have: (i) a majority of independent directors; (ii) a nominating and governance committee composed entirely of independent directors; and (iii) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. 51 If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, if they change their recommendations regarding our Class A common stock adversely, or if we fail to achieve analysts’ earnings estimates, the market price and trading volume of our Class A common stock could decline. The trading market for our Class A common stock may be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us or our industry make unfavorable comments about our market opportunity or business, the market price of our Class A common stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the market price of our Class A common stock or trading volume to decline. In addition, if we fail to achieve analysts’ earnings estimates, the market price of our Class A common stock would also likely decline. If we are unable to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, Nasdaq will delist our Class A common stock. Our Class A common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. In the future, if we are not able to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, we could be subject to suspension and delisting proceedings. A delisting of our Class A common stock and our inability to list on another national securities exchange could negatively impact us by: (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our Class A common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our Class A common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our ability to use a registration statement to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing us from accessing the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees. Because we do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, investors in the offering will benefit from their investment in shares only if our Class A common stock appreciates in value. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the operation and growth of our business and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, the success of an investment in our Class A common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in its value. Our Class A common stock may not appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which the Selling Shareholder purchased their ELOC Shares. Our business currently depends on the availability of adequate funding and access to capital. As a result, we need to raise significant amounts of additional capital. We may be unable to obtain the additional capital when we need it, or on acceptable terms, if at all. Even if we are able to continue as a going concern in the near term, our business depends on our ability to obtain additional capital. As of December 31, 2025, we had a cash balance of $433,363. We had a working capital deficit of $3,839,068 as of December 31, 2025. We plan to raise additional equity financing, without which we will not be able to meet our obligations as they become due for the next 12 months. We cannot provide any assurance that additional equity financing will be available on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Risks Related to the Equity Purchase Agreement Sales of our Class A common stock under the EPA may result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders, and we may be required to issue additional shares to access the full commitment. On December 8, 2025, we entered into the Equity Purchase Agreement (the “EPA”) with Amiens Technology Investments LLC, (“Amiens” or the “Selling Shareholder”), pursuant to which the Selling Shareholder committed to purchase up to $50 million of shares of our Class A common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions. As consideration for this commitment, we agreed to pay a commitment fee in an amount equal to $750,000, by the issuance to the Selling Shareholder of a number of shares of Class A common stock (the “ELOC Commitment Shares”), which will result in dilution to existing shareholders. 52 The number of shares we may issue under the EPA will depend on, among other factors, our financing needs and the market price of our Class A common stock at the time of each sale. If the market price of our Class A common stock declines, we may be required to register and issue additional shares in order to access the full $50 million commitment under the EPA, which could result in further dilution to our existing shareholders. Any sales of our Class A common stock to the Selling Shareholder, and the issuance of the ELOC Commitment Shares, will dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders, which dilution may be substantial. In addition, the sale of a substantial number of shares to the Selling Shareholder, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline and could make it more difficult for us to raise capital through future equity or equity-related offerings. The purchase price of shares sold under the EPA will fluctuate based on market conditions, and we cannot predict the amount of proceeds we will receive. We cannot predict the actual number of shares of our Class A common stock that we will sell under the EPA or the aggregate gross proceeds resulting from those sales. The purchase price per share will be determined based on a formula tied to the market price of our Class A common stock during the applicable pricing period, and will fluctuate based on market conditions. Because the purchase price is determined during the pricing period following delivery of an advance notice, we do not know the exact price at which shares will be sold at the time we elect to sell shares. As a result, the proceeds we receive from each sale under the EPA will vary and may be lower than expected. In addition, depending on market liquidity at the time, resales of shares by the Selling Shareholder may cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline, and any such decrease may be substantial. Amiens will purchase shares at a discount to the market price, which could cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline. The purchase price for shares sold to Amiens under the EPA equals 95% of the “Market Price,” which is defined as the lowest daily volume weighted average price of our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market during the applicable pricing period. The pricing period consists of the ten trading days immediately following delivery of an advance notice. Because the purchase price is determined during this pricing period, we do not know the exact price at which shares will be sold at the time we elect to sell shares. As a result, the proceeds we receive from each sale of shares under the EPA will vary based on the market price of our Class A common stock during the applicable pricing period. In addition, Amiens may sell the shares after receiving them, including during the pricing period, which could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline. Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from our sale of shares of Class A common stock under the EPA, and you may not agree with how we use the proceeds and the proceeds may not be invested successfully. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the proceeds we receive from the sale of our Class A common stock to the Selling Shareholder under the EPA, and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether our management is using the proceeds appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the proceeds we receive from the Selling Shareholder under the EPA, the ultimate use of the proceeds may vary substantially from the currently intended use. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline. 53 The structure of the EPA may encourage short selling or hedging activity, which could adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock. The structure of the EPA may encourage the Selling Shareholder or other market participants to engage in short selling or hedging activity with respect to our Class A common stock. In particular, because the purchase price for shares sold under the EPA is based on a formula tied to the market price of our Class A common stock during a specified pricing period, the Selling Shareholder or other market participants may seek to hedge their exposure or establish short positions before or during that pricing period. Such activity could place downward pressure on the market price of our Class A common stock, increase volatility, or otherwise adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock. Any such decline in the market price could be significant. For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, which apply to other public companies. We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Securities Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy and information statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and of shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Because we intend to take advantage of these exemptions, some investors may find our Class A common stock less attractive, which may result in a less active trading market for our Class A common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile. In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We could remain an “emerging growth company” until June 30, 2031 or, if earlier: (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion; (ii) if the market value of our Class A common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of any fiscal year, the last day of such fiscal year; or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the preceding three-year period. If we are still a smaller reporting company (a company with a public float of less than $75 million) after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may be able to make use of some of the same exemptions (such as the exemption to the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act) as were available to us when we qualified as an emerging growth company. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, shareholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our Class A common stock. We are required to comply with the SEC’s rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act, which require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of controls over financial reporting. Although we are required to disclose changes made in our internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis, we are not required to make our first annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC. However, as an “emerging growth company,” our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC or the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating. 54 In addition, to comply with the requirements of being a public company, we may need to undertake various actions, such as implementing new internal controls and procedures and hiring additional accounting or internal audit staff. Testing and maintaining internal control can divert our management’s attention from other matters that are important to the operation of our business. In addition, when evaluating our internal control over financial reporting, we may identify material weaknesses that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the applicable deadline imposed upon us for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. If we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our Class A common stock could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources. Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Although we are not yet required to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, management identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting during 2018. These material weaknesses related primarily to deficiencies in controls over invoice processing and contract approval, including instances in which documentation was not consistently obtained prior to the payment of certain invoices and the execution of certain contracts. In addition, as is common for companies of our size and stage of development, we did not have: (i) formally documented internal control policies and procedures; (ii) sufficient segregation of duties within our accounting function; (iii) adequate accounting personnel and supervisory review; or (iv) a sufficiently robust process for periodic financial reporting, including the timely preparation and review of financial statements. Since that time, management has implemented a comprehensive remediation plan and made substantial improvements to our internal control environment. These actions have included engaging CFO Squad, LLC, since December 2018, to provide technical accounting and financial reporting expertise in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”); hiring a qualified and experienced Controller who strengthened and reorganized the accounting function; appointing a Chief Operating Officer with significant financial and accounting experience; hiring a Chief Financial Officer with experience supporting companies of similar size and complexity; engaging an experienced Audit Committee member to provide enhanced oversight and review; implementing expanded segregation of duties across key accounting and operational processes; and establishing formalized procedures for the timely preparation, review, and approval of financial reports and statements. Based on the implementation and testing of these controls, together with the operation of additional compensating controls, management believes that the previously identified material weaknesses have been remediated and that our internal control over financial reporting is operating effectively as of the date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms. However, because certain controls were implemented relatively recently, there can be no assurance that these controls will continue to operate effectively in the future. In addition, we recently hired an Accounting Manager to further enhance segregation of duties across the organization and to support continued scalability of the accounting function. We have also implemented enhanced review procedures for invoices and contracts, including a mandatory review and approval process and Audit Committee approval for all related-party transactions. 55 Shareholders may be diluted by the future issuance of additional Class A common stock in connection with acquisitions or otherwise. We are authorized to issue 320,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. Prior to this offering, we have 286,121,200 shares of Class A common stock authorized but unissued (assuming all of the 6,946,980 shares of Class B common stock that were converted into shares of Class A common stock and registered for sale by William A. Mobley, Jr. in connection with a direct listing of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq are sold and not converted back into shares of Class B common stock). Our amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize us to issue these shares of Class A common stock and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to Class A common stock for the consideration and on the terms and conditions established by our board of directors in its sole discretion, whether in connection with acquisitions, in future Class A common stock offerings or otherwise. Any Class A common stock that we issue after the Nasdaq Listing will dilute the percentage ownership held by the investors who purchase shares of our Class A common stock from the Selling Shareholder. Substantial future sales or perceived potential sales of our Class A common stock in the public market could cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline significantly. Sales of our Class A common stock or other equity securities in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline significantly. We currently have 33,878,800 shares of Class A common stock outstanding (assuming all of the 6,946,980 Class B shares that were converted into Class A shares and registered for sale by William A. Mobley, Jr. in connection with a direct listing of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq are sold and not converted back to Class B shares), of which 13,988,455 shares of our Class A common stock, representing approximately 41.3% of our outstanding Class A common stock immediately after our recent listing on Nasdaq, will not be subject to leak-out agreements. All shares of Class A common stock sold by the Selling Shareholder in connection with this offering will be freely transferable by people other than our “affiliates” without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. The Class A common stock outstanding after the Nasdaq Listing will be available for sale upon the expiration of the leak-out periods described elsewhere in this prospectus. Any or all of these shares may be released prior to the expiration of the applicable leak-out period at our discretion. To the extent shares are released before the expiration of the applicable leak-out period and sold into the market, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline significantly. Certain holders of our Class A common stock have the right to cause us to register under the Securities Act the sale of their shares, subject to the applicable leak-out periods in connection with the Nasdaq Listing. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in such shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration. Sales of these registered shares in the public market could cause the price of our Class A common stock to decline significantly. Anti-takeover provisions contained in our articles of incorporation and bylaws could impair a takeover attempt. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Our corporate governance documents include provisions: ● authorizing “blank check” preferred stock, which could be issued by our board of directors without shareholder approval and may contain voting, liquidation, dividend, and other rights superior to our Class A common stock; ● limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers; ● limiting the ability of our shareholders to call and bring business before special meetings; ● requiring advance notice of shareholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our shareholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors; and ● controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and shareholder meetings. These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management. Any provision of our articles of incorporation or bylaws that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our shareholders to receive a premium for their shares of our Class A common stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Class A common stock. 56 We will incur significantly increased costs as a result of and devote substantial management time to operating as a public company. As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. For example, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and will be required to comply with the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls, changes in corporate governance practices and required filing of annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and operating results. These requirements will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, our management and other personnel will need to divert attention from operational and other business matters to devote substantial time to these public company requirements. We will also need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and will need to establish an internal audit function. We also expect that operating as a public company will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. This could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified people to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers. In addition, after we no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company,” as defined under the JOBS ACT we expect to incur additional management time and cost to comply with the more stringent reporting requirements applicable to companies that are deemed accelerated filers or large accelerated filers, including complying with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We are just beginning the process of compiling the system and processing documentation needed to comply with such requirements. We may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. In that regard, we currently do not have an internal audit function, and we will need to hire or contract for additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur as a result of becoming a public company or the timing of such costs.
