+Added: Sports.com the exclusive North American distribution rights for sports data products offered and maintained by DSG (the “DSG Data”).
+Added: The DSG Data is being sold through the same sales resources and sales channels as the lottery data offered by TinBu.
+Added: On July 23, 2023,
+Added: DSG exercised its right to terminate the exclusive distribution rights due to Sports.com not meeting its contractual obligations.
+Added: for Recommencement of Company Operations
+Added: noted above, since the Operational Cessation, the Company has had minimal day-to-day operations and has primarily focused its operations
+Added: on restarting certain of its core businesses.
+Added: The Company has developed a three phase plan to recommence its operations, which plan is
+Added: outlined below.
+Added: 1 - Relaunch B2B API Platform .
+Added: During the Operational Cessation, the Company maintained positive relationships with its ticket-printing
+Added: and courier partners, as well as several distribution partners that have been found to be in compliance with local, state, and federal
+Added: rules related to ticket procurement and distribution.
+Added: These partners have implemented the Lottery.com API and have advised the Company
+Added: that they expect to be ready to offer lottery games to their customers through their sales channels when the Company resumes operations.
+Added: As such, the Company believes that it has sufficient demand to resume operation of its B2B API platform operations, assuming it is able
+Added: to maintain the core employee team to manage the lottery ticket fulfillment process and access sufficient capital to relaunch Project
+Added: Nexus, which was designed to, among other things, handle high levels of user traffic and transaction volume, while maintaining expediency,
+Added: security, and reliability in the administrative and back-office functionality required by the B2B API.
+Added: Our B2B API Platform resumed limited
+Added: operations in April 2023.
+Added: 2 - Resume B2C Platform Operations.
+Added: The Company believes that it will be in a position to relaunch its B2C Platform by mid-year 2024.
+Added: As of the date of this Report, the Company expects that it will initially relaunch its B2C Platform to customers in Texas for a period
+Added: of time before rolling it out to other jurisdictions.
+Added: The Company may elect to accelerate the relaunch of its Platform to customers in
+Added: another state.
+Added: The Company plans to limit the rollout in order to give it additional time to properly vet and confirm compliance with
+Added: local, state and federal rules related to ticket procurement and distribution.
+Added: For more information, see “
+Added: - Regulatory and Compliance Risks - A jurisdiction may enact, amend, or reinterpret laws and regulations governing our operations in
+Added: ways that impair our revenues, cause us to incur additional legal and compliance costs and other operating expenses, or are otherwise
+Added: not favorable to our existing operations or planned growth, all of which may have a material adverse effect on us or our results of operations,
+Added: cash flow, or financial condition .”
+Added: The Company has also maintained various pre-paid media credits that it expects to use to
+Added: launch and maintain promotional campaigns geared towards encouraging prior customers to return to the Platform and to acquire new customers.
+Added: 3 - Restore Other Business Lines and Projects.
+Added: Assuming the success of Phase 1 and Phase 2, the Company expects to restore other
+Added: products it used to offer, such as supplying lottery tickets to consumers in approved domestic jurisdictions, partnering with licensed
+Added: providers in international jurisdictions to supply legitimate domestic lottery games, and reviving other products and services that were
+Added: under development when the Operational Cessation occurred.
+Added: of the date of this Report, the current estimated cash balance of the Company and subsidiaries is approximately $36,799.
+Added: believes that this cash on hand, along with future borrowings, will be sufficient for the Company to pay its service providers in connection
+Added: with the filings of its required periodic reports, including this Report and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
+Added: three months ended March 31, 2024.
+Added: of the date of this Report, our common stock and warrants are traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the
+Added: ticker symbols “LTRY”
+Added: and “LTRYW,”
+Added: respectively.
+Added: As of the date of this Report, we are in compliance with Nasdaq’s
+Added: continued listing requirements (the “Listing Rules”), except for meeting their requirement for the total market value of
+Added: our publicly-held shares, as discussed in greater detail below under “
+Added: Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Common Stock and Warrants
+Added: - We are not currently in full compliance with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq and may not be able to regain full compliance
+Added: with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards in the future ,”
+Added: and have been granted a limited exception from Nasdaq to continue
+Added: the listing of our securities.
+Added: Additionally, under its new management, the Company continues to work to improve its disclosure and reporting
+Added: Also, the Company plans to overhaul its systems of internal control over financial reporting and invest in additional legal,
+Added: accounting, and financial resources.
+Added: if the Company’s three phase plan to recommence its operations is successful, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
+Added: able to fully regain compliance with the applicable Listing Rules, or that the Nasdaq Panel will continue to stay the delisting of the
+Added: Company’s securities on Nasdaq.
+Added: If the Company’s securities are delisted from Nasdaq, it could be more difficult to buy or
+Added: sell the Company’s common stock and warrants or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of the Company’s common stock
+Added: and warrants could suffer a material decline.
+Added: Delisting could also impair the Company’s ability to raise additional capital needed
+Added: to fund its operations and/or trigger defaults and penalties under outstanding agreements or securities of the Company.
+Added: can be no assurance that we will have sufficient capital to support our operations and pay expenses, repay our debt, or that additional
+Added: funds will be available on favorable terms, if at all.
+Added: We may not be able to restart our operations and/or generate sufficient funding
+Added: to support such operations in the future.
+Added: The Company’s ability to continue its current operations, prepare and refile deficient
+Added: and restated reports, and restart its prior operations, is dependent upon obtaining new financing.
+Added: Future financing options available
+Added: to the Company include equity financings, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations with other companies or
+Added: other strategic transactions.
+Added: Equity financings may include sales of common stock.
+Added: Such financing may not be available on terms favorable
+Added: to the Company or at all.
+Added: The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or rights of the Company’s stockholders
+Added: and may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders.
+Added: There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining
+Added: sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial
+Added: condition and results of operations, and it could ultimately be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.
+Added: These matters, when
+Added: considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
+Added: period of time, which is defined as within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
+Added: The accompanying financial
+Added: statements do not contain any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the classification of assets or the amounts and classification
+Added: of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
+Added: of Our Results of Operations (Prior to the Operational Cessation)
+Added: from B2C Platform.
+Added: Our revenue is the retail value of the acquired lottery game and the service fee charged to the user, which we
+Added: impose on each lottery game purchased from our B2C Platform.
+Added: The amount of the service fee is based upon several factors, including the
+Added: retail value of the lottery game purchased by a user, the number of lottery games purchased by a user, and whether such user is located
+Added: within the U.S.
+Added: or internationally.
+Added: Currently, in the U.S, the minimum service fee is $0.50 for the purchase of a $1 lottery game and
+Added: $1 for the purchase of a $2 lottery game;
+Added: the service fee for additional lottery games purchased in the same transaction is 6% of the
+Added: face value of all lottery games purchased.
+Added: For example, the service fee for the purchase of five $2 tickets is $1.60, being the $1 base
+Added: service fee, plus 6% of the aggregate value of the face value of all lottery games purchased.
+Added: The Company did not operate its B2C platform in 2023.
+Added: Internationally,
+Added: B2C sales in jurisdictions where we do not have direct or indirect authority generate an immaterial amount of revenue, and we are assessing
+Added: our operations in these jurisdictions.
+Added: As discussed above, our B2C Platform is not currently operational.
+Added: We anticipate that our B2C
+Added: Platform will become operational by mid-year 2024.
+Added: from B2B API.
+Added: Together with our third-party commercial partner, we agree on the amount of the technology usage fee to be imposed
+Added: on the sale of each lottery game purchased through the B2B API, if any, together with a service fee to be charged to the user;
+Added: up to 50% of the net revenues from such technology usage fee and service fee pursuant to our commercial agreement with each commercial
+Added: As discussed above, following the Operational Cessation, our B2B API Platform resumed limited operations in April 2023.
+Added: Commercial acquirers of our Data Service pay a subscription for access to the Data Service and, for acquisition of certain
+Added: large data sets, an additional per record fee.
+Added: The Company additionally enters into multi-year contracts pursuant to which it sells proprietary,
+Added: anonymized transaction data pursuant to multi-year agreements and in accordance with our Terms of Service in consideration of a fee.
+Added: Our Data Services operations were not impacted by the Operational Cessation.
+Added: Operating Costs and Expenses
+Added: Personnel costs include salaries, payroll taxes, health insurance, worker’s compensation and other benefits for management
+Added: and office personnel.
+Added: Professional fees include fees paid for legal and financial advisors, accountants and other professionals related to the Business
+Added: Combination and other transactions.
+Added: and Administrative.
+Added: General and administrative expenses include marketing and advertising, expenses, office and facilities lease
+Added: payments, travel expenses, bank fees, software dues and subscriptions, expensed research and development (“R&D”) costs
+Added: and other fees and expenses.
+Added: and Amortization.
+Added: Depreciation and amortization expenses include depreciation and amortization expenses on real property and other
+Added: Trends and Factors Affecting Our Results
+Added: following describes the trends associated with our business prior to the Operational Cessation that have impacted, and which we expect
+Added: will continue to impact, our business and results of operations in a material way:
+Added: International
+Added: We face challenges related to expanding our footprint globally and the related process of obtaining the licenses and
+Added: regulatory approvals necessary to provide services and products within new and emerging markets.
+Added: The international jurisdictions where
+Added: we operate and seek to expand have been subject to increasing foreign currency fluctuations against the U.S.
+Added: dollar, inflationary pressures
+Added: and political and economic instability.
+Added: We expect these trends to continue during fiscal 2024 and believe they are likely to affect consumer
+Added: spending, which could have a material impact on our revenues.
+Added: As a result, it may take longer to achieve projected revenue gains or
+Added: generate cash in any such regions affected or any new foreign jurisdiction into which we expand.
+Added: of a new gaming platform .
+Added: We have developed a proprietary, blockchain-enabled gaming platform, which we have named Project Nexus.
+Added: Project Nexus is designed to handle high levels of user traffic and transaction volume, while maintaining expediency, security, and reliability
+Added: in (i) the processing of lottery game sales, (ii) fulfillment of retail requirements of the B2C Platform, (iii) the administrative and
+Added: back-office functionality required by our B2B API, and (iv) the requirements of our claims and redemption process.
+Added: We expect to utilize
+Added: this platform to launch new products, including any proprietary products we may introduce.
+Added: The introduction of a new technology like
+Added: Project Nexus is subject to risks including, among other things, implementation delays, issues successfully integrating the technology
+Added: into our solutions, or the possibility that the technology does not produce the expected benefits.
+Added: growth plans and the competitive landscape.
+Added: Our direct competitors operate in the global entertainment and gaming industries and,
+Added: like us, seek to expand their product and service offerings with integrated products and solutions.
+Added: Our short-to-medium term focus is
+Added: on increasing our penetration in our existing U.S.
+Added: jurisdictions by increasing direct to consumer marketing campaigns, introducing our
+Added: B2C Platform into new U.S.
+Added: and select foreign jurisdictions and acquiring synergistic regulated and sports betting enterprises domestically
+Added: in the sale of online lottery games has significantly increased in recent years, is currently characterized by intense price-based competition,
+Added: and is subject to changing technology, shifting needs and frequent introductions of new games, development platforms and services.
+Added: maintain our competitive edge alongside other established industry players (many of which have more resources, or capital), we expect
+Added: to incur greater operating short-term expenses, such as increased marketing expenses, increased compliance expenses, increased personnel
+Added: and advisory expenses associated with being a public company, additional operational expenses and salaries for personnel to support expected
+Added: growth, additional expenses associated with our ability to execute on our strategic initiatives including our aim to undertake merger
+Added: and acquisition activities, as well as additional capital expenditures associated with the ongoing development and implementation of
+Added: Project Nexus.
+Added: Plan of Operations
+Added: of the date of this Report, the Company’s primary revenue drivers are the resumption of its B2B API platform and the launch of
+Added: It is anticipated that operational costs for the next 12 months through April 30, 2024 will be greater than revenues.
+Added: is anticipated that the liquidity gap will be satisfied by equity investment or debt incurred, of which there is no assurance.
+Added: We anticipate
+Added: that our B2C Platform will become operational by mid-year 2024.
+Added: the next 12 months, the Company plans to continue to expand in domestic and international operations.
+Added: The Moreover, the Company plans
+Added: to enhance its mobile application to include pool plays, tickets subscriptions, loyalty programs and various gamification modules.
+Added: of Operations
+Added: consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include
+Added: adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should
+Added: we be unable to continue in operation.
+Added: We will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements.
+Added: raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.

+Added: and Capital Resources
+Added: to the Operational Cessation, our primary need for liquidity was to fund working capital requirements of our business, growth,
+Added: capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes.
+Added: Our primary source of liquidity had historically been funds generated by
+Added: financing activities.
+Added: Upon the Closing of the business combination on October 29, 2021, we received net proceeds of approximately
+Added: $42.8 million in cash.
+Added: the Operational Cessation, our primary need for liquidity has been to fund the restart of our business operations, re-hire employees
+Added: and pay our expenses.
+Added: The most likely source of such future funding presently available to us is through additional borrowings under
+Added: loan agreements or through the issuance of equity or debt securities.
+Added: If lenders do not advance us amounts as agreed under loan agreements
+Added: or we are otherwise not able to secure the necessary capital to restart our operations, hire new employees, and obtain funding sufficient
+Added: to support and restart our operations, we may be forced to permanently cease our operations, sell off our assets and operations, and/or
+Added: seek bankruptcy protection, which could cause the value of our securities to become worthless.
+Added: conditions, along with our current lack of material revenue producing activities, and significant debt, raise substantial doubt about
+Added: our ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months.
+Added: For more information, see Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies,
+Added: Going Concern to the consolidated financial statements included herein, as well as the risk factors included in Item 1A of this Report
+Added: entitled “
+Added: In July 2022, we furloughed the majority of our employees and suspended our lottery game sales operations after determining
+Added: that we did not have sufficient financial sources to fund our operations or pay certain existing obligations, including our payroll and
+Added: related obligations.
+Added: As a result, we may not be able to continue as a going concern ”
+Added: We need additional capital
+Added: to, among other things, support and restart our operations, re-hire employees and pay our expenses.
+Added: Such capital may not be available
+Added: on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
+Added: If we do not receive the additional capital, we may be forced to curtail or abandon our
+Added: plans to recommence our operations and we may need to permanently cease our operations.
+Added: Debt Obligations
+Added: to the Closing, we funded our operations through the issuance of convertible promissory notes.
+Added: August to October 2017, the Company entered into seven Convertible Promissory Note Agreements with unaffiliated investors for an aggregate
+Added: amount of $821,500.
+Added: The notes bore interest at 10% per year, were unsecured, and were due and payable on June 30, 2019.
+Added: The Company and
+Added: the noteholders executed amendments in February 2021 to extend the maturity date to December 21, 2021.
+Added: November 2019 through October 28, 2021, we issued approximately $48.2 million in aggregate principal amount of Series B convertible promissory
+Added: The notes bore interest at 8% per year, were unsecured, and were due and payable on dates ranging from December 2020 to December
+Added: For those promissory notes that would have matured on or before December 31, 2020, the parties extended the maturity date to December
+Added: 21, 2021 through amendments executed in February 2021.
+Added: The amendments also allowed for automatic conversion to equity as a result of
+Added: the Business Combination.
+Added: Nearly all of the aforementioned promissory notes automatically converted into shares of Common Stock or were
+Added: terminated pursuant to their terms, as applicable, in connection with the Closing.
+Added: Those that remain outstanding do not have conversion
+Added: terms that were triggered by the Closing.
+Added: prior to the Closing, approximately $60.0 million of convertible debt was converted into equity of AutoLotto.
+Added: of December 31, 2023, we had $1,256,595 of convertible debt outstanding.
+Added: This debt is in default.

+Added: Factors affecting changes in operating cash flows were interest and stock-based
+Added: compensation expense along with decreased expenses for personnel costs, and sales and marketing activities in 2023 as compared to 2022.
+Added: Net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 was $0, compared to $1.3 million for the prior year.

+Added: was $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $16 thousand for the year ended December 30, 2022.
+Added: The increase was
+Added: due to funding received under convertible debt arrangements in 2023.
+Added: in or Adoption of Accounting Practices
+Added: following U.S.
+Added: GAAP standards have been recently issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”).
+Added: in the process of assessing the impact of these new standards on future consolidated financial statements.
+Added: Pronouncements that are not
+Added: applicable or where it has been determined do not have a significant impact on the Company have been excluded herein.
+Added: 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
+Added: May 2014 and December 2016, the FASB issued several Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”)’s on ASC 606, which updates
+Added: superseded nearly all previous revenue recognition guidance under U.S.
+Added: The core principle is to recognize revenues when promised
+Added: goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled
+Added: for those goods or services.
+Added: A five-step process has been defined to achieve this core principle, and, in doing so, more judgment and
+Added: estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S.
+Added: The standards are effective
+Added: for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 using either of the following transition methods:
+Added: (i) a full retrospective approach
+Added: reflecting the application of the standards in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients;
+Added: (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting the standards recognized at the date of adoption (which
+Added: includes additional footnote disclosures).
+Added: The Company adopted these standards effective on January 1, 2018, and management concluded
+Added: the adoption of this standard did not result in any financial statement impacts or changes to revenue recognition policies or processes
+Added: as revenue is primarily derived from arrangements in which the transfer of control coincides with the fulfillment of performance obligations.
+Added: Accounting Policies
+Added: financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S.
+Added: Certain of our accounting policies require that management apply significant
+Added: judgments and estimates in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates.
+Added: Judgments are based on historical experience
+Added: and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, such as terms of contracts, industry trends and information
+Added: available from outside sources, as appropriate.
+Added: However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty,
+Added: and therefore actual results could differ from our estimates.
+Added: We have applied significant estimates and assumptions related to the following:
+Added: and Cost Recognition
+Added: May of 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09,
+Added: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”), amending revenue recognition guidance and requiring a more
+Added: structured approach to measuring and recognizing revenue as well as provide more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements
+Added: to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
+Added: guidance is effective for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2018.
+Added: have applied ASC 606 to all revenue contracts.
+Added: The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer
+Added: of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in
+Added: exchange for those goods or services.
+Added: Revenues are generally recognized upon the transfer of control of promised products provided to
+Added: our users, customers and subscribers, reflecting the amount of consideration we expect to receive for those products.
+Added: We enter into contracts
+Added: that can include various products, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations.
+Added: Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from users, commercial partners and subscribers, which are subsequently remitted to
+Added: governmental authorities.
+Added: The revenue recognition policy is consistent for sales generated directly with users and sales generated indirectly
+Added: through affiliates, other solution partners, and our commercial partners.
+Added: are recognized upon the application of the following steps:
+Added: Identification
+Added: of a contract or contracts with a user, customer or subscriber;
+Added: Identification
+Added: of performance obligation(s) in the contract;
+Added: Determination
+Added: of the transaction price;
+Added: of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;
+Added: of revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.
+Added: with users and customers for lottery game sales are at the point of sale and may include transfer of multiple products to a user or a
+Added: customer and generally do not require future obligations.
+Added: In these situations, the Company generally considers each transferred product
+Added: as a separate performance obligation.
+Added: The Company also has contracts with subscribers for the continued delivery of lottery and anonymized
+Added: transaction data over a defined period of time.
+Added: In accounting for these contracts, the Company generally considers each set of data as
+Added: a separate performance obligation and recognizes revenue on their delivery ratably over the service period of the agreement.
+Added: The Company’s
+Added: products are sold without a right of return or refund;
+Added: the Company’s terms of service and contracts generally include specific
+Added: language that disclaims any warranties.
+Added: addition, the Company’s performance obligation in agreements with certain third parties is to transfer previously acquired Affiliate
+Added: Marketing Credits.
+Added: The payment for these credits by the third parties is priced on a per-contract basis.
+Added: The performance obligation in
+Added: these agreements is to provide title rights of the previously acquired credits to the third party.

+Added: to the individual members.
+Added: It is the responsibility of the individual members to report the taxable income and tax credits, and to pay

+Added: consolidated in the Company’s tax return and provision based upon its relative ownership.
+Added: taxes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 740, “
+Added: Income Taxes ”
+Added: (“ASC 740”), using the asset and liability
+Added: Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
+Added: temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
+Added: Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
+Added: these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
+Added: The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
+Added: tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
+Added: A valuation allowance is provided for those deferred
+Added: tax assets for which it is more likely than not that the related benefit will not be realized.
+Added: Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (i) the Company determines
+Added: whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position;
+Added: (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax
+Added: benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

+Added: a business combination, substantially all identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired are recorded at the date
+Added: of acquisition at their respective fair values.
+Added: One of the most significant areas of judgment and estimation relates to the determination
+Added: of the fair value of these assets and liabilities, including the fair value of contingent consideration, if applicable.
+Added: If any intangible
+Added: assets are identified, depending on the type of intangible asset and the complexity of determining its fair value, an independent external
+Added: valuation expert may develop the fair value, using appropriate valuation techniques, which are generally based on a forecast of the total
+Added: expected future net cash flows.
+Added: These valuations are linked closely to the assumptions made by our management regarding the future performance
+Added: of the assets concerned and any changes in the discount rate applied.
+Added: value of financial assets and financial liabilities
+Added: value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position, which cannot be derived
+Added: from active markets, is determined using a variety of techniques including the use of valuation models.
+Added: The inputs to these models are
+Added: derived from observable market data where possible, but where observable market data is not available, judgment is required to establish
+Added: Judgment includes, but is not limited to, consideration of model inputs such as volatility, estimated life and discount
+Added: value of stock options and warrants
+Added: use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options and warrants.
+Added: Use of this method requires management
+Added: to make assumptions and estimates about the expected life of options and warrants, anticipated forfeitures, the risk-free rate, and the
+Added: volatility of our share price.
+Added: In making these assumptions and estimates, management relies on historical market data.
+Added: useful lives, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and amortization of intangible assets
+Added: of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets is dependent upon estimates of useful lives based on management’s
+Added: The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that consider factors such
+Added: as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.
+Added: and intangible assets
+Added: and indefinite life intangible asset impairment testing require us to make estimates in the impairment testing model.
+Added: On an annual basis,
+Added: we test whether goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are impaired.
+Added: Impairment is influenced by judgment in defining a cash-generating
+Added: unit (“CGU”) and determining the indicators of impairment, and estimates used to measure impairment losses.
+Added: The recoverable
+Added: amount is the greater of value in use and fair value less costs to sell.
+Added: The recoverable value of goodwill, indefinite and definite long-lived
+Added: assets is determined using discounted future cash flow models, which incorporate assumptions regarding projected future cash flows and
+Added: capital investment, growth rates and discount rates.
+Added: Tax Asset and Valuation Allowance
+Added: for deferred tax assets, including those arising from tax loss carry-forwards, requires management to assess the likelihood that we will
+Added: generate sufficient taxable earnings in future periods in order to utilize recognized deferred tax assets.
