NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Note
1 – Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (the “Company,”
“SharpLink,” “we” or “our”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of the Company, the foregoing statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as
well as its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts therein. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates,
actual results in future periods may differ from the estimates.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant
to rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and
footnotes required by GAAP for a complete financial statement presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 14, 2025 and Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on
March 17, 2025.
Nature
of Business
SharpLink,
a Delaware corporation, is an online performance marketing company that delivers unique fan activation solutions to its sportsbook and
casino partners. Through its global affiliate marketing network, known as PAS.net, SharpLink drives qualified traffic and player acquisitions,
retention and conversions to U.S. regulated sportsbooks and global casino gaming partners worldwide. In addition, SharpLink owns a performance
marketing platform through which the Company owns and operates U.S. state-specific web domains designed to attract, acquire and drive
local sports betting and casino traffic directly to its sportsbook and casino partners which are licensed to operate in each respective
state.
Prior
to the sale of SharpLink’s Sports Gaming Client Services and SportsHub Gaming Network (“SHGN”) business units in January
2024 to RSports Interactive, Inc. (“RSports”), a Minnesota corporation, (the “Sale of Business”), the SHGN unit
owned and operated an online gaming business that primarily facilitated daily and seasonal peer-to-peer fantasy contests for its end
users. The SHGN business unit also operated a website that provided a variety of services to private fantasy league commissioners, including
secure online payment options, transparent tracking and reporting of transactions, payment reminders, in-season security of league funds
and facilitation of prize payouts. SharpLink’s Sports Gaming Client Services game development business was engaged in the provision
of fantasy and free-to-play sports game and mobile app development services to a marquis list of customers, which included several of
the biggest names in sports and sports betting, including Turner Sports, NBA, NFL, PGA TOUR, NASCAR and BetMGM, among others.
On
January 18, 2024 , the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “PA”) with RSports to sell the Company’s
fantasy sports and sports game development business units to RSports. All of the membership interests of Sports Technologies, LLC, a
Minnesota limited liability company, SHGN and Holdings Quinn, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively referred to as
the “Divested Operations”) were sold for $ 22,500,000 in an all cash transaction. The transaction resulted in SharpLink selling
a majority of its assets and the classification of the Divested Operation’s financial results as discontinued operations. All prior
periods presented have been restated to present the Divested Operations financial results as discontinued operations. All explanations
and amounts relating to discontinued operations are referred throughout the consolidated financial statements to Note 3 - Discontinued
Operations.
On
February 13, 2024, SharpLink Gaming Ltd. (“SharpLink Israel” and former parent company) completed its previously announced
domestication merger (“Domestication Merger”), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the “Domestication Merger Agreement”), dated June 14, 2023 and amended July 24, 2023, among SharpLink Gaming, Inc.
(“SharpLink US”), SharpLink Israel, SharpLink Merger Sub Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly owned subsidiary of subsidiary
of SharpLink US (Domestication Merger Sub). The Domestication Merger was achieved through a merger of Domestication Merger Sub Ltd.
with and into SharpLink Israel, with SharpLink Israel surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of SharpLink US. The
Domestication Merger was approved by the shareholders of SharpLink Israel at an extraordinary special meeting of shareholders held on
December 6, 2023. SharpLink US’s Common Stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the same ticker symbol, SBET,
on February 14, 2024.
As
a result of the Domestication Merger, all SharpLink Israel ordinary shares outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication Merger
automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into the right to receive, and become exchangeable for, shares of SharpLink US common
stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) and all preferred shares, options and warrants of SharpLink Israel outstanding
immediately prior to the Domestication Merger converted into or exchanged for equivalent securities of SharpLink US on a one-for-one
basis.

Principles
of Consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SharpLink Gaming, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
All intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
During the year ended December 31, 2024,
we realigned our organizational structure and resources to more closely align with our strategic priorities. As a result of the change,
we have one reportable segment, consisting of Affiliate Marketing, for the purpose of making operational and resource decisions and assessing
financial performance. See Note 9 - Operating
Segment.
Functional
Currency
The
Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange
rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. The resulting monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange
rates prevailing on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense components are translated to U.S. dollars at weighted-average exchange
rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from remeasurement are recognized in other
income and expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Reverse
Share Split
On
May 5, 2025, the Company effected a one-for-twelve (1:12) reverse stock split of all the Company’s share capital, whereby the Company
decreased the number of issued and outstanding common shares from 7,916,206 to 659,684 . Proportional adjustments for the reverse stock
split were made to the Company’s outstanding stock options, warrants and equity incentive plans. All share and per-share data and
amounts have been retrospectively adjusted as of the earliest period presented in the financial statements to reflect the reverse stock
split.

Regaining
Compliance with Nasdaq Continued Listing Standards
As
previously reported on Form 10-K filed by the Company on March 14, 2025 and 10-K/A filed by the Company on March 17, 2025, the Company
received a letter on July 17, 2024 from Nasdaq notifying the Company that, because of the closing bid price for its common stock had
been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, it was not compliant with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (the “Bid
Price Deficiency Notice”). In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810 (c)(3)(A), the Company had a period of 180 calendar
days, or until January 7, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Further, as previously reported on our Current
Report on Form 8-K filed on November 22, 2024, the Nasdaq Staff notified the Company that it did not comply with the $2.5 million minimum
stockholders’ equity requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company had 45 calendar days to submit a
plan to regain compliance or until January 6, 2025.
The
Company had a hearing with the Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”)on February 25, 2025 . The Company’s Common
Stock will remain listed and eligible for trading on Nasdaq pending the ultimate conclusion of the hearing process. SharpLink worked
to evidence compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and Minimum Stockholder’s Equity Requirement for continued
listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market and submitted a plan to that effect to the Panel as
part of the hearing process on February 25, 2025.
On
March 21, 2025, SharpLink received notice (the “Notice”)
from the Panel of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that
the Panel has granted the Company’s request for additional time to achieve compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing
rules and demonstrate long-term compliance with the minimum bid price requirement as set forth in Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price
Rule”), which requires issuers to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share on the Nasdaq, and with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1),
which requires listed issuers to maintain minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million (the “Equity Rule”). Specifically,
the Panel has agreed to provide the Company until May 23, 2025 to regain compliance with both the Bid Price Rule and the Equity
Rule.
We
must satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, including, among other things, the Bid Price Rule and the Equity Rule, or
risk delisting, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. If our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, it could materially
reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock as a result
of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws. In addition, delisting
could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in
the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. If our
common stock is delisted, it could be more difficult to buy or sell our common stock or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price
of our common stock could suffer a material decline. Delisting could also impair our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms, if
at all.
The
Company is currently attempting to raise equity in public offerings in order to achieve compliance with the Equity Rule. We may not be
able to comply with the Equity Rule even after these offerings due to our cash burn rate, operating expenses, and payment obligations.
As a result, we may be required to raise additional funds after these offerings in order to achieve compliance.
Acquisition
of 10% Equity Stake in Armchair Enterprises
On
February 24, 2025, SharpLink entered into a subscription agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) with U.K-based Armchair Enterprises
Limited (“Armchair”), which owns and operates CryptoCasino.com. The acquisition of a 10 %
equity stake in Armchair was made for $ 500,000
in cash, along with a right of first refusal to acquire a controlling
interest in Armchair. The investment was recorded at cost and will be measured at cost minus impairment, adjusted for any observable price changes. There was no impairment
as of March 31, 2025.
Evaluation
of Strategic Alternatives
On
July 18, 2024, SharpLink announced that its Board of Directors (“Board”) has initiated a formal review process to evaluate
strategic alternatives for the Company. The Board and management team are taking a measured approach to considering multiple proposals
that have been received by the Company and other proposals it expects to receive. SharpLink has been exploring strategic alternatives
that include, but are not limited to, a sale, merger, strategic business combination or other transactions. SharpLink has not set a deadline
or definitive timetable for completion of the strategic alternatives review process and there can be no assurance that this process will
result in the Company pursuing a transaction or any other strategic outcome.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In
December 2023 , the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2023-09 – Income Taxes (Topic ASC 740) Income Taxes. The ASU
improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information
in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve
the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 became effective beginning with our 2025 fiscal year. We do
not expect that this guidance will have a material impact upon our financial position and results of operations.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt-Debt with Conversions
and Other Option. ASU 2024-04 is intended to clarify requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments,
including convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features or convertible debt instruments that are not currently convertible,
should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This ASU is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is
currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its disclosures.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation
Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB
issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
(Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature
of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions
presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for us for our annual reporting for fiscal
2028 and for interim period reporting beginning in fiscal 2029 on a prospective basis. Both early adoption and retrospective application
are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these standards will have on its consolidated financial
statements and disclosures.

On
May 2, 2024, Company entered into an ATM Sales Agreement (the “ATM Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global
Partners (“AGP” or the “Agent”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through
the Agent, as sales agent and/or principal, shares of its common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per
share (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $ 1,676,366 ,
subject to certain limitations on the amount of Common Stock that may be offered and sold by the Company set forth in the ATM Sales
Agreement (the “Offering”). The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Shares under the ATM Sales Agreement and
any determination by the Company to do so will be dependent, among other things, on market conditions and the Company’s
capital raising needs. On February 4, 2025, the Company, under the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, filed a prospectus
supplement that amended the number shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $ 1,835,052 . As of March 31,
2025, SharpLink has raised total gross proceeds of $ 1,834,925 .
On May 5, 2025 and May 6, 2025, SharpLink
filed a registration statement on Form S-1 and Form S-1/A, respectively, in connection with a potential public offering to raise up to
$ 5
million (the “Offering”) in gross proceeds through the offering of i) shares of common stock or prefunded warrants, in lieu
thereof, ii) Series A-1 Common Stock Warrants, and iii) Series A-2 Common Stock Warrants (collectively, the Series A-1 Common Stock Warrants
and Series A-2 Common Stock Warrants, the “Common Warrants.” Pursuant to the registration statement, as amended, SharpLink
has engaged AGP to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase our securities in this offering. The Agent has no obligation
to purchase any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities.
Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing in this offering the actual public offering amount, Agent’s
fee, and proceeds to us, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the total maximum offering amounts
set forth in the registration statement, as amended, and related preliminary prospectus. See Note 13.
In addition to funds that may be raised through the ATM Sales Agreement or the potential Offering, we may need to raise additional capital to fund the Company’s
growth and future business operations. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
If we are not able to secure additional funding when needed to support our business and to respond to business challenges, track and
comply with applicable laws and regulations, develop new technology and services or enhance our existing offering, improve our operating
infrastructure, enhance our information security systems to combat changing cyber threats and expand personnel to support our business,
we may have to delay or reduce the scope of our planned strategic initiatives. Moreover, any additional equity financing that we obtain
may dilute the ownership held by our existing shareholders. The economic dilution to our shareholders will be significant if our stock
price does not materially increase, or if the effective price of any sale is below the price paid by a particular shareholder. Any debt
financing could involve substantial restrictions on activities and creditors could seek additional pledges of some or all of our assets.
If we fail to obtain additional funding as needed, we may be forced to cease or scale back operations, and our results, financial conditions
and stock price would be adversely affected. As such, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company
to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.
Note
3 – Discontinued Operations
In
accordance with ASC 205 - 20 Presentation of Financial Statements: Discontinued Operations, a disposal of a component of
an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic
shift that has (or will have) a major impact on an entity’s operations and financial results when the components of an entity meets
the criteria in ASC paragraph 205 - 20 - 45 - 10. In the period in which the component meets the held for sale
or discontinued operations criteria the major assets, other assets, current liabilities and non-current liabilities shall be reported
as a component of total assets and liabilities separate from those balances of the continuing operations. At the same time, the results
of all discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as components of net income (loss) separate
from the income (loss) of continuing operations.
Sale
of SHGN and Sports Gaming Client Services
On
January 18, 2024 , SharpLink Israel (“Parent Seller”) and SLG1 Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
and wholly owned subsidiary of SharpLink (“Subsidiary Seller”), SHGN Acquisition Corp. (“SHGN,” and together
with Parent Seller and Subsidiary Seller, the “Seller”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of SharpLink,
entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “PA”) with RSports Interactive, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Buyer”).
The Subsidiary Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Sports Technologies, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability
company, SHGN and Holdings Quinn, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively referred to as the “Targets”).
The PA contemplated the sale of the Company’s Sports Gaming Client Services and SportsHub Gaming Network business units to the
Buyer, by selling all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Targets and the Acquired Subsidiaries for $ 22,500,000
in an all cash transaction. SHGN owns all of the membership interests in Virtual Fantasy Games Acquisitions, LLC, a Minnesota limited
liability company; LeagueSafe Management, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company; SportsHub Reserve, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability
company; SportsHub PA, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company; SportsHub Operations, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company;
SportsHub Holdings, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company; SportsHub Regulatory, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company; and
SportsHub Player Reserve, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (collectively, the “Acquired Subsidiaries”).
As
a result of the Sale of Business, we ceased our Sports Game Client Services and SportsHub Gaming Network segments. The historical results
of these business segments have been reflected as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements for all periods prior
to the closing date of the Sale of Business on January 18, 2024 .
In
connection with the Sale of Business, the Company entered into with the Buyer a Transition Services Agreement to provide for an orderly
transfer and the continuity of business services. The Parent Seller would be able to use certain Buyer employees at an agreed upon hourly
rate. The Buyer would be charged monthly amounts for business services such as accounting software, insurance and data services.
On
May 8, 2024, SharpLink entered into an amended and fully restated Post Closing Assignment Agreement with RSports, whereby SharpLink
and RSports agreed to amend the PA to exclude the transfer/sale of SHGN and agreed to the assignment/sale of the Acquired
Subsidiaries membership interests in SHReserve and SHPA to be made directly to RSports upon and subsequent to the approval of a
petition by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. Based on this amended agreement, the S ale
of Business is an asset sale for legal and tax purposes instead of an equity sale.
Further,
in connection with the Sale of Business, SharpLink entered into a Post Closing Covenant Agreement (the “PCCA”) with the Buyer
defining the post-closing terms and conditions relating to certain transfers and assignments of assets subsequent to the closing of the
Sale of Business, including:
●
Transferring
control of all bank accounts held by the Targets to the Buyer;
●
Transferring
or cooperating with the application process for all state gaming licenses held by the Targets in connection with the change of control
to the Buyer;
●
Providing
the Buyer with an accounting of all funds due to and from and any deferred revenue between Sports Technologies, LLC, SHGN and SharpLink,
Inc.;
●
Assigning
to Buyer or its affiliates, or cause the counterparty to consent to, all contracts assumed by the Buyer or its affiliates on or subsequent
to the closing based upon change of control provisions; and
●
Assigning
to Buyer or its affiliates all of its intellectual property rights purchased in the PA for the Acquired Subsidiaries or Targets.
In
accordance with the terms of the PCCA, SharpLink will complete all post-closing covenants following the closing as reasonably possible,
with the exception of Seller covenants that are dependent on governmental authorities or governmental orders for completion, in which
case it will use diligent, good faith efforts to cause the same to be completed as soon as practical. The $ 14.6 million gain was calculated
by measuring the difference between the fair value of consideration received less the carrying amount of assets and liabilities sold
in accordance with ASC 810.
In
the statement of cashflows for the three months ended March 31 2024, the net cash used in investing activities - discontinued operations
is due to cash received from the sale of business of $ 22,500,000 , net of the cash transferred of $ 41,357,834 . The majority of the cash
transferred of $ 41,357,834 was reflected in discontinued operations customer deposits liability and deferred revenue of $ 36,959,573 and
$ 4,888,704 , respectively.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, SharpLink paid RSports $ 0 and $ 34,059 , respectively, for use of accounting service personnel
under the PCCA agreement; and RSports paid SharpLink $ 0 and $ 39,957 under the PCCA agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and
2024, respectively.

Note
5 - Convertible Debenture and Warrant
Convertible
Debenture at Fair Value
The
Company accounts for convertible debentures using an amortized cost model. The discount for warrants, the Original Issuance Discount
(“OID”) and the initial allocation of fair value of compound derivatives reduce the initial carrying amount of the convertible
notes. The carrying value is the stated principal amount at contractual maturity using the effective-interest method with a corresponding
charge to interest expense. Debt discounts are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the
carrying amount of that related debt.
The
Company made an irrevocable election at the time of issuance of the Debenture to record the Debenture at its fair value (the “Fair
Value Option”) with changes in fair value recorded through the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations
within other income (expense) at each reporting period. The Fair Value Option provides the Company with a measurement basis election
for financial instruments on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Table of Contents
On
February 14, 2023, the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Alpha, a current shareholder
of the Company, pursuant to which the Company issued to Alpha an 8 % Interest Rate, 10 % Original Issue Discount, Senior Convertible Debenture
(the “Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $ 4,400,000 for a purchase price of $ 4,000,000 on February 15, 2023.
The Debenture is convertible, at any time, and from time to time, at Alpha’s option, into shares of Common Stock of the Company
(the “Conversion Shares”), at an initial conversion price equal to $ 84.00 per share, subject to adjustment as described in
the debenture agreement. A registration statement on Form S-1 (file No.: 333-271396) was filed on April 21, 2023, and as a result, the
reset price was set to $ 50.13 .
Pursuant
to Section 8(a)(vi) of the Debenture, it is an event of default if the Company is party to a Fundamental Transaction or agrees to sell
or dispose of all or in excess of 33 % of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions. On January 19, 2024, SharpLink
and Alpha entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby Alpha agreed to waive (i) the event of
default under Section 8(a)(vi) of the Debenture in connection with the Sale of Business; and (ii) payment of the Mandatory Default Amount;
and the parties agreed that the Company would pay 110 % of the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, in the aggregate total amount of $ 4,484,230 (the “Debenture Redemption Amount”).
On
January 19, 2024, the Company paid Alpha the Debenture Redemption Amount. As a result, the Company’s obligations under the Debenture
have been satisfied.
Purchase
Warrant
On
February 15, 2023, the Company also issued to Alpha a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 73,333 common shares of the Company
at an initial exercise price of $ 105.01 (the “Warrant Shares,” and, together with the Conversion Shares, and any other common
shares of the Company that may otherwise become issuable pursuant to the terms of the Debenture and Warrant, the “Underlying Shares”).
The Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 15, 2023 and before February 15, 2028.
14
Table of Contents
At
the time of execution, the Company classified the Warrant as an equity contract and performed an initial fair value measurement. As the
Warrant was issued with the assumption of the Debenture, the value assigned to the Warrant was based on an allocation of proceeds, subject
to the allocation to the Debenture. The Company recorded a debt discount for the Warrant of $ 1,174,229 , based on the Black Scholes option-pricing
model which was calculated independently of the fair value of the Debenture, and recorded the Warrant as additional paid-in capital.
The
Warrant provides that in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Debenture), SharpLink, at Alpha’s option, would
repurchase the Warrant from Alpha on the terms set forth in Section 3(e)(ii) of the 2023 Warrant (the “Warrant Repurchase”).
On January 19, 2024, SharpLink and Alpha entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) whereby Alpha agreed
to waive (i) the event of default under Section 3(e)(ii) of the Warrant in connection with the Sale of Business.
Pursuant
to Section 5(1) of the Warrant, Alpha further agreed to waive its right to elect that, in connection with and at the closing of the Sale
of Business, the Warrant shall be repurchased by the Company as set forth in Section 3(e) of the 2023 Warrant. The parties agreed in
the Settlement Agreement that the Warrant Repurchase for its Black Scholes value shall take place upon the earlier of (a) June 30, 2024;
(b) the Company raising a gross amount of not less than $ 3,000,000 whether by equity or debt; and (c) the Company entering into a Fundamental
Transaction as defined in the 2023 Warrant. The parties further agree in the Settlement Agreement value of the 2023 Warrant for purposes
of the Warrant Repurchase at $ 900,000 , which was based on a Black Scholes model.
On
March 6, 2024, SharpLink entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Alpha to change the Warrant Repurchase
of $ 900,000 . Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to exchange the 2023 Warrant
to purchase 73,333 shares of common stock for (i) 13,017 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), (ii) a pre-funded warrant
in the amount of 39,130 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”) and (iii) the unexchanged balance of the 2023 Warrant
Repurchase (the “Warrant Repurchase Balance”). The Warrant Repurchase Balance of 21,186 warrants is valued at $ 170,636 and
shall be subject to the repurchase terms set forth in the Settlement Agreement. The Pre-Funded Warrant and the Warrant Repurchase Balance
were valued using Black Scholes option-pricing model. As part of this transaction, the Company recorded a deemed dividend of $ 44,619
as presented in the statement of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The
fair value of the Warrant Repurchase balance and the Pre-Funded Warrant are estimated on the following dates using the Black Scholes
option pricing model with the following assumptions:

price per warrant of the unexchanged balance of the 2023 Warrants Repurchase Balance from $ 48.85 to $ 0.0012 and to remove the re-purchase
option.
Note
6 - Fair Value
In
accordance with fair value accounting guidance, the Company determines fair value based on the exchange price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.

Stock
Options
Option
awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s Common Stock at the date of grant;
those options generally vest based on three years of continuous service and have ten-year contractual terms. Certain option and share
awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control, as defined in the plans.
The
Company granted no options for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company recognized stock compensation
expense for stock options of $ 36,365 and $ 42,152 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, of which $ 0 and
$ 12,041 of expense are recorded in discontinued operations.

Table of Contents
The
fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option-pricing model. The Company uses historical
option exercise and termination data to estimate the term the options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on
the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield is calculated using historical dividend amounts
and the stock price at the option issue date. The expected volatility is determined using the volatility of peer companies.
The
fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following

9 - Operating Segments
The
Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and evaluates the financial
performance of the business and makes resource allocation decisions on a consolidated basis. As a result, the Company operates as a single
reportable segment under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company’s operations include performance marketing services,
lead generation, and data analytics, all of which are managed centrally. The Company focuses on delivering quality traffic and player
acquisitions, retention and conversions to global casino gaming partners worldwide in exchange for a commission (cost per acquisition
or portion of net gaming revenues) paid to the Company by the partners for the new players referred to them. The CODM assesses financial
performance based on consolidated revenue, operating profit, and key operating expenses as detailed below.
The
following table presents significant segment expenses regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM:

The
CODM evaluates income generated from the Company’s assets using net income (loss) as a key metric. The CODM utilizes this measure
to assess return on assets when making strategic decisions, including whether to reinvest profits into the affiliate marketing platform,
enhance technology and data analytics capabilities, or expand partnerships with advertisers and publishers.

10 - Revenue Recognition
For
the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has recognized its revenue at a point in time. The Company’s only revenue
stream is from the provision of Affiliate Marketing services.
The
Company’s assets and liabilities related to its contracts with customers were as follows:
Schedule
of Contract Assets and Liabilities
March 31, 2025
December 31, 2024
Accounts receivable
$ 322,952
$ 264,831
The
timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in contract advanced
billings on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recognized unbilled revenue when revenue is recognized
prior to invoicing.
Payment
terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 days. In instances where
the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that its contracts generally do not
include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable
ways of purchasing the Company’s services, and not to facilitate financing arrangements.
Note
11 – Income Taxes
On
a quarterly basis, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and record a quarterly income tax provision based on the anticipated rate.
As the year progresses, we refine our estimate based on the facts and circumstances, including discrete events, by each tax jurisdiction.
The effective tax rate for the three-month ended March 31, 2025 was ( 0.17 %). The Company has NOLs available to
offset 80% of the current year taxable income and the gain, net of tax is classified as discontinued operations in the financial statements. The
Company is in the process of dissolving certain legal entities to simplify its legal structure. The tax impact of these legal entities
being dissolved is not expected to be significant.
19
Table of Contents
We
follow the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions which requires us to determine whether
a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals of
litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the
uncertain tax benefit amount recognized in the financial statements is reduced to the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood
of being realized upon the ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions
are included in the provision for income taxes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In accordance with the Sale of
Business ( See Note 3 ), management performed an evaluation of the technical merits of the Israeli Controlled Foreign Corporate
Rules to determine the taxability of the gain from the Sale of Business from an Israeli tax perspective. This analysis also considered
the results of the U.S. income tax. Management determined that the technical merits for uncertain tax exposure resulting from the gain
for Israeli tax purposes did not exceed the more-likely-than-not threshold and has not recorded any income tax liability at March 31,
2025. Management’s determination is based on known facts and circumstances and requires judgment of a complex set of rules and
regulations. If facts and circumstances change, such as closing, liquidating or selling of the businesses’ equity that is remaining,
including events outside the Company’s control, this could have a material impact on the management’s determination.
Note
12 – Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic
net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders, adjusted for preferred stock
discount accretion and dividends accrued on preferred stock, by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period
excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share,
except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common stock that would have been outstanding if potential
shares of common stock had been issued if such additional common stock were dilutive.
As
the Company had a net loss from continuing operations and discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the following
presents dilutive and anti-dilutive securities. For continuing and discontinued operations, since there was a net loss, all securities
presented below were excluded from weighted average shares outstanding.

13 – Subsequent Events
Potential Public Offering
On May 5, 2025 and May 6, 2025,
SharpLink filed a registration statement on Form S-1 and Form S-1/A, respectively, in connection with a potential public offering to
raise up to $ 5 million (the “Offering”) in gross proceeds through the offering of i) shares of common stock or prefunded
warrants, in lieu thereof, ii) Series A-1 Common Stock Warrants, and iii) Series A-2 Common Stock Warrants (collectively, the Series
A-1 Common Stock Warrants and Series A-2 Common Stock Warrants, the “Common Warrants”). Pursuant to the registration
statement, as amended, SharpLink has engaged AGP to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase our securities in
this Offering. The Agent has no obligation to purchase any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any
specific number or dollar amount of the securities. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing
in this offering the actual public offering amount, Agent’s fee, and proceeds to us, if any, are not presently determinable
and may be substantially less than the total maximum offering amounts set forth in the registration statement, as amended, and
related preliminary prospectus.
Reverse
Share Split
On
May 5, 2025, the Company effected a one-for-twelve (1:12) reverse stock split of all the Company’s share capital, whereby the Company
decreased the number of issued and outstanding common shares from 7,916,206 to 659,684 . Proportional adjustments for the reverse
stock split were made to the Company’s outstanding stock options, warrants and equity incentive plans. All share and per-share
data and amounts have been retrospectively adjusted as of the earliest period presented in the financial statements to reflect the reverse
stock split.
On
May 2, 2025, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware (the “Amendment”), providing for the aforementioned reverse stock split.
Exchange
of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock for Common Stock and Prefunded Warrants
On
April 2, 2025, SharpLink entered into an exchange agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) with Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Alpha”),
whereby, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement and in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), 600 shares of the Company’s Series A-1 Preferred Stock and 12,481 shares
of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Existing Securities”) held by Alpha were exchanged for
38,683 shares of SharpLink’s common stock (“Common Stock”) and 44,650 prefunded warrants to purchase shares of SharpLink’s
common stock (“Alpha Prefunded Warrants”) at an exercise price of $ 0.012 . With the exchange of Alpha’s Existing Securities
for Common Stock and Alpha Prefunded Warrants, SharpLink no longer has any Series A-1 Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock issued
and outstanding.

Overview
Headquartered
in Minneapolis, Minnesota, SharpLink Gaming is an online performance-based marketing company that leverages our unique fan activation
solutions to generate and deliver high quality leads to our U.S. sportsbook and global casino gaming partners.
Continuing
Operations
In
December 2021, SharpLink acquired certain assets of FourCubed, including FourCubed’s online casino gaming-focused affiliate marketing
network, known as PAS.net (“PAS”). For more than 18 years, PAS has focused on delivering quality traffic and player acquisitions,
retention and conversions to regulated and global casino gaming operator partners worldwide. In fact, PAS won industry recognition as
the European online gambling industry’s Top Affiliate Manager, Top Affiliate Website and Top Affiliate Program for four consecutive
years by both igambingbusiness.com and igamingaffiliate.com. The strategic acquisition of FourCubed brought SharpLink talent with proven
experience in affiliate marketing services and recurring net gaming revenue (“NGR”) contracts with many of the world’s
leading online casino gambling companies, including Party Poker, bwin, UNIBET, GG Poker, 888 poker, betfair, World Poker Tour and others.
As
part of our strategy to expand our affiliate marketing services to the emerging American sports betting market, in November 2022, we
began a systematic roll-out of our U.S.-focused performance-based marketing business with the launch of 15 state-specific, content-rich
affiliate marketing websites. Our user-friendly, state-specific domains are designed to attract, acquire and drive local sports betting
and casino traffic directly to our sportsbook and casino partners’ which are licensed to operate in each respective state. As of
January 2024, we are licensed to operate in 18 jurisdictions and own and operate sites serving 17 U.S. states (Arizona, Colorado, Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia
and Wyoming). As more states legalize sports betting, our portfolio of state-specific affiliate marketing properties may expand to include
them. We largely utilize search engine optimization and programmatic advertising campaigns to drive traffic to our direct-to-player (“D2P”)
sites.

Table of Contents
Today,
our vision is to power a targeted and personalized online sports betting and casino gaming environment that organically introduces fans
to our operator partners through relevant tools and rich content – all in a safe, credible and responsible environment.
In
2024, we realigned our organizational structure and resources to more closely align with our strategic priorities. As a result of
the change in our organizational structure, we have one reportable segment consisting of Affiliate Marketing for the purpose of
making operational and resource decisions and assessing financial performance.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our continuing operations generated revenues of $741,731 and $975,946 respectively,
for the three months ended representing a 24.0% decrease on a comparative quarter over quarter basis.
Sales
of Business - SHGN and Sports Gaming Client Services
SharpLink’s
business-building platform previously included the provision of Free-To-Play (“F2P”) sports game and mobile app development
services to a marquis list of customers, which included several of the biggest names in sports and sports betting, including Turner Sports,
NBA, NFL, PGA TOUR, NASCAR and BetMGM, among others. In addition, we previously owned and operated a variety of proprietary real-money
fantasy sports and sports simulation games and mobile apps through our SHGN sports business unit, which also owned and operated LeagueSafe,
one of the fantasy sports industry’s most trusted sources for collecting and protecting private fantasy league dues.
On
January 18, 2024, SharpLink sold all of the issued and outstanding membership interests, as applicable, in our Sports Gaming Client Services
and SHGN business units to RSports for $22.5 million in an all-cash transaction, pursuant to the signing of a purchase agreement and
other related agreements. Nearly all of the employees of these acquired business units moved to RSports to help ensure a seamless transition.
The
historical results of our Sports Gaming Client Services and SHGN businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations in our condensed
consolidated financial statements for all periods prior to the Sale of Business.

Price Deficiency Notice”). In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810 (c)(3)(A), the Company had a period of 180 calendar
days, or until January 7, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Further, as previously reported on our Current
Report on Form 8-K filed on November 22, 2024, the Nasdaq Staff notified the Company that it did not comply with the $2.5 million minimum
stockholders’ equity requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company had 45 calendar days to submit a
plan to regain compliance or until January 6, 2025.
The
Company had a hearing with the Nasdaq Hearing Panel on February 25, 2025 . The Company’s Common Stock will
remain listed and eligible for trading on Nasdaq pending the ultimate conclusion of the hearing process. SharpLink worked to evidence
compliance with Minimum Bid Price Requirement and Minimum Stockholder’s Equity Requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq
Capital Market and submitted a plan to that effect to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) as part of the hearing process
on February 25, 2025.
On
March 21, 2025, SharpLink received notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) of The
Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Panel has granted the Company’s request for additional time
to achieve compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules and demonstrate long-term compliance with the minimum bid price
requirement as set forth in Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”), which requires issuers to maintain a minimum bid
price of $1.00 per share on the Nasdaq, and with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires listed issuers to maintain minimum
stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million (the “Equity Rule”). Specifically, the Panel has agreed to provide the
Company until May 23, 2025 to regain compliance with both the Bid Price Rule and the Equity Rule.
We
must satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, including, among other things, the Bid Price Rule and the Equity Rule, or
risk delisting, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. If our common stock is delisted from Nasdaq, it could materially
reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock as a result
of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws. In addition, delisting
could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in
the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. If our
common stock is delisted, it could be more difficult to buy or sell our common stock or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price
of our common stock could suffer a material decline. Delisting could also impair our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms, if
at all.
The
Company is currently attempting to raise equity in public offerings in order to achieve compliance with the Equity Rule. We may not be
able to comply with the Equity Rule even after these offerings due to our cash burn rate, operating expenses and payment obligations.
As a result, we may be required to raise additional funds after these offerings in order to achieve compliance.
Redomestication
from Israel to Delaware
On
February 13, 2024, SharpLink Israel completed its previously announced domestication merger (“Domestication Merger”), pursuant
to the terms and conditions set forth in an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Domestication Merger Agreement”), dated June
14, 2023 and amended July 24, 2023, among SharpLink Israel, SharpLink Merger Sub Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly owned subsidiary
of SharpLink US (“Domestication Merger Sub”) and SharpLink Gaming, Inc. (“SharpLink US”). The Domestication Merger
was achieved through a merger of Domestication Merger Sub with and into SharpLink Israel, with SharpLink Israel surviving the merger
and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of SharpLink US. The Domestication Merger was approved by the shareholders of SharpLink Israel
at an extraordinary special meeting of shareholders held on December 6, 2023. SharpLink US’s Common Stock commenced trading on
the Nasdaq Capital Market under the same ticker symbol, SBET, on February 14, 2024.

capital raising needs. As of March 31, 2025, through an increase in the aggregate offering price by a prospectus supplement, SharpLink
has raised gross proceeds of $1,834,925 from sales of Shares under the ATM Sales Agreement.

For
the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
For
the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenues declined 24.0% to $741,731 compared to $975,946 reported for the same
three-month period in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to the market conditions softening, changes in
customer pricing structures and the loss of customers due primarily to evolving regulatory environments in certain foreign markets.
Gross
Profit
For
the three months ended March 31, 2025, gross profit totaled $131,795, reflecting a 54.1% decrease from a gross profit of
$287,212 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our gross profit margin declined to 17.8% from 29.4% for the
three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decline represents higher casino payouts due to large winnings by
players, coupled with the aforementioned changes to customer pricing structures during the three months ended March 31, 2025. For
the online casino business, as greater payouts are made to winners, this has the impact of reducing gross
profit.
Total
Operating Expenses
For
the three months ended March 31, 2025, total operating expenses decreased 46.4% to $1,057,339 from $1,972,075 reported for the
same three-month period in the prior year. The decrease was attributable to lower payroll, audit and legal, insurance,
marketing and travel-related costs in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter in 2024. The first
quarter of 2024 also included expenses related to SHGN and Sports Gaming Client Services for the period from January 1, 2024
through January 18, 2024.

Table of Contents
Net
Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations
Largely
attributable to the Company’s concerted effort to lower payroll and other discretionary costs, net loss from continuing operations
decreased 47.9% to $(916,732) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a net loss from continuing operations
of $(1,760,811) reported for the same three month period in 2024.
Net
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
For
the three months ended March 31, 2025, net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax decreased 100.4% to $(58,169), which compared
to a net income from discontinued operations, net of tax of $14,111,167 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease to a
net loss in discontinued operations is due to the gain on the sale of the SHGN and Sports Gaming Client Services business operations
in the first quarter March 31, 2024.
Net
Income (Loss)
As
a result of the aforementioned reasons, net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled $(974,901), declining
107.9% when compared to net income of $12,350,356 reported for three months ended March 31, 2024.
Cash
Flows
Three
Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
As
of March 31, 2025, cash on hand was $1,374,943, a -4.3%decrease when compared to cash on hand of $1,436,729 as of December 31, 2024.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations totaled $(452,827) compared
to net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations of $(2,848,643) in the prior year. Net cash used in
operating activities from discontinued operations was $(61,258), which compared to net cash used in operating activities
of $(16,446,314) from discontinued operations for the same three-month period in 2024. Overall, net cash used in operating
activities was $(514,085) and $(19,294,957) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in the
operating cashflows was largely attributable to the sale of the Company’s SHGN and Sports Gaming Client Services
businesses in January 2024.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in the Company’s investing activities from continuing
operations totaled $(500,000), an increase of 28986.7% when compared to cash used in investing activities from continuing
operations of $(1,719) for the same three-month period in 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, net cash used
in investing activities from discontinued operations was $- and $(18,707,834), respectively. The increase in net cash used in
investing activities for three month period March 31, 2025 versus 2024 was due to the Company’s $500,000 investment in
Armchair Enterprises. The decrease in total cash used in investing activities for discontinued operations is due to cash
received from the sale of business of $22,500,000, net of the cash transferred of $41,357,834. The majority of the cash transferred
of $41,357,834 was reflected in discontinued operations customer deposits liability and deferred revenue of $36,959,573 and
$4,888,704, respectively.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing from continuing operations was $907,188 a 107.3% increase
when compared to net cash used by financing activities from continuing operations of $(12,409,050) for the same three-month period in
2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 net cash used in financing activities from discontinued operations was $- compared
to net cash used by financing activities of $(5,835,352) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change was largely
due to the repayments of $19,205,606 in debt in the first quarter of 2024, including the repayment of the convertible debenture for $4,395,753.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of March 31, 2025, we had working capital of $1,570,519. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we had a net loss from continuing
operations of $(916,732) compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $(1,760,811) respectively, reported for the same three
months in 2024.

On
May 1, 2024, Company entered into an ATM Sales Agreement (the “ATM Sales Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners
(the “Agent”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through the Agent, as sales agent and/or
principal, shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate offering price
of up to $1,676,366 (“Shares”), subject to certain limitations on the amount of Common Stock that may be offered and sold
by the Company set forth in the ATM Sales Agreement (the “Offering”). The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Shares
under the ATM Sales Agreement and any determination by the Company to do so will be dependent, among other things, on market conditions
and the Company’s capital raising needs. On February 4, 2025, the Company, under the terms of the ATM Sales Agreement, filed a
prospectus supplement that amended the number shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $1,835,052. As of March
31, 2025, SharpLink has raised total gross proceeds of $1,834,925.
On
May 5, 2025 and May 6, 2025, SharpLink filed a registration statement on Form S-1 and Form S-1/A, respectively, in connection with a
potential public offering to raise up to $5 million (the “Offering”) in gross proceeds through the offering of i) shares of
common stock or prefunded warrants, in lieu thereof, ii) Series A-1 Common Stock Warrants, and iii) Series A-2 Common Stock Warrants
(collectively, the Series A-1 Common Stock Warrants and Series A-2 Common Stock Warrants, the “Common Warrants.” Pursuant
to the registration statement, as amended, SharpLink has engaged AGP to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase
our securities in this Offering. The Agent has no obligation to purchase any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase
or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition
to closing in this offering the actual public offering amount, Agent’s fee, and proceeds to us, if any, are not presently determinable
and may be substantially less than the total maximum offering amounts set forth in the registration statement, as amended, and related
preliminary prospectus.
In
addition to funds that may be raised through the ATM Sales Agreement and/or the Offering, we may need to raise additional capital to
fund the Company’s growth and future business operations. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable
terms or at all. If we are not able to secure additional funding when needed to support our business and to respond to business challenges,
develop new technology and services or enhance our existing offering, track and comply with applicable laws and regulations, improve
our operating infrastructure, enhance our information security systems to combat changing cyber threats and expand personnel to support
our business, we may have to delay or reduce the scope of planned strategic initiatives. Moreover, any additional equity financing that
we obtain may dilute the ownership held by our existing shareholders. The economic dilution to our shareholders will be significant if
our stock price does not materially increase, or if the effective price of any sale is below the price paid by a particular shareholder.
Any debt financing could involve substantial restrictions on activities and creditors could seek additional pledges of some or all of
our assets. If we fail to obtain additional funding as needed, we may be forced to cease or scale back operations, and our results, financial
conditions and stock price would be adversely affected. As such, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability
of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
On
March 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect
on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures
or capital resources. Since our inception, except for standard operating leases accounted for prior to January 1, 2022, we have not engaged
in any off-balance sheet arrangements, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.
Inflation
Our
opinion is that inflation did not have a material effect on our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Climate
Change
Our
opinion is that neither climate change, nor governmental regulations related to climate change, have had, or are expected to have, any
material effect on our operations.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December
2023 , the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2023-09 – Income Taxes (Topic ASC 740) Income Taxes. The ASU improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by
requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid
disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The
amendments in ASU 2023-09 became effective beginning with our 2025 fiscal year. We do not expect that
this guidance will have a material impact upon our financial position and results of operations.
In November
2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt-Debt with Conversions
and Other Option. ASU 2024-04 is intended to clarify requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible
debt instruments, including convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features or convertible debt instruments that are not currently
convertible, should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This ASU is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its disclosures.
In November
2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income
- Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”),
and in January 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive
Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”).
ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures
about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified
by ASU 2025-01, is effective for us for our annual reporting for fiscal 2028 and for interim period reporting
beginning in fiscal 2029 on a prospective basis. Both early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these standards will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
