2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
following discussion and analysis provide information which we believe relevant to an assessment and understanding of our financial condition
and results of operations. The following financial information is derived from our financial statements and should be read in conjunction
with such financial statements and notes thereto set forth elsewhere herein.
Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (“Form 10-Q”) contains certain “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical
facts contained in this Form 10-Q, including statements regarding the financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives
of management for our future operations, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of
management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us. When used in this Form 10-Q, the words “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,”
“should,” “seek,” “scheduled,” “intend,” “plan,” and “expect”
and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify
forward-looking statements.
The
forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of
known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control,
that could cause the actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q and are subject to numerous risks, including, but not limited to the following:
●
the
occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances, including the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against
us;
●
the
ability to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq, and the potential liquidity and trading of our securities;
●
the
risk of disruption to our current plans and operations;

Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 15, 2026 (the “Form 10-K”). Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and
rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can
we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results
to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions,
the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely
from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable and the information included in this report
is accurate, we cannot guarantee that the future results, level of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the
forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for
any reason after the date of this report to confirm these statements to actual results or changes in our expectations. We qualify all
of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Revenues
Revenues
remained relatively consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreasing by $217,563, or 4.2%, compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in golf simulator revenue, which decreased by $228,321, to $3,664,866 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the
prior year period.
Cost
of Revenues
Cost
of revenues increased by $537,152, or 29.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended March
31, 2025. The increase was partially attributable to (i) the allocation of salaries and wages of warehouse employees of $229,649,
during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to its absence during the prior year period and (ii) the increase in shipping costs of $165,199 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the
prior year period.

Operating
Expenses
Total
operating expenses decreased by $694,360, or 14.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2025.
Salaries, Wages and Benefits: Salaries, wages
and benefits decreased by $1,153,405, or 59.2%, to $793,411 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1,946,816 for the prior
year period. The decrease reflects a significant increase in the portion of employee compensation capitalized as software development
costs during the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company capitalized $1,066,064 in software development costs
associated with employee compensation, compared to $270,531 during the prior year period.
Selling,
General and Administrative : SG&A increased by $459,045, or 16.8%, to $3,184,164 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared
to $2,725,119 for the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by the following: (i) amortization expense related to capitalized
software costs increased to $469,213 in 2026 from $100,000 in 2025, (ii) an increase in rent expense of $104,644 during the three months
ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily related to a lease modification during the year ended December
31, 2025, which resulted in an increase in the associated monthly rent, and (iii) an increase in professional fees of $166,634 primarily driven by $149,890 in legal fees related to the
Company’s franchising efforts that were not active during the prior year period.
Other
Income (Expenses)
Other
income (expenses) decreased by $1,283,383, or 89.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the elimination of interest obligations associated with the PIPE Convertible
Notes following their exchange for Series A Preferred Stock in July 2025 as well as the settlement of the dividend notes payable in April
2025.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Liquidity
As
of March 31, 2026, we had cash on hand of $10,936,670 and a working capital deficit of $1,282,452, as compared to cash on hand of
$12,569,263 and a working capital surplus of $1,076,496 as of December 31, 2025. The decrease in working capital is primarily
attributable to a decrease in cash on hand of $1,632,593, an increase of accounts receivable, net of $254,128, an increase in
inventory of $497,411 which was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $419,485 and an increase in deferred revenue
of $1,050,144.
The
Company’s operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company anticipates that it will continue to incur
operating losses as it executes its development plans for 2026, as well as other potential strategic and business development initiatives.
In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company
has previously funded, and plans to continue funding, these losses with the sale of equity and convertible notes. The accompanying unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue
as a going concern.
Cash
Flows
During
the three months ended March 31, 2026, our net cash used in operating activities was $122,196 as compared to $449,119 during the three
months ended March 31, 2025. The period over period change was primarily attributable to favorable changes in working capital,
including increases in deferred revenue and accounts payable, partially offset by changes in inventory and accounts receivable.
The current period also reflected $1,087,513 and $231,940 lower non-cash adjustments related to stock issued for
make-whole provisions on debt conversion and amortization of convertible note discounts, respectively, compared to the prior year period.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2026, our net cash used in investing activities was $1,144,302 as compared to net cash used in
investing activities of $334,690 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in cash used in investing activities was
primarily due to an increase in capitalized costs for software development.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2026, our net cash used in financing activities was $366,095 as compared to net cash provided by of
$2,517,552 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to
$2,520,000 in cash proceeds from the Convertible PIPE Notes in 2025.

Critical
Accounting Estimates
The
preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. The following estimates involve the highest degree of judgment
and uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
These descriptions should be read in conjunction with Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, which describes the
underlying accounting policies.
Allowance
for Current Expected Losses
We
estimate our allowance for current expected credit losses on accounts receivable using a rate loss model that considers customer payment
history, aging, current economic conditions, and management’s judgment regarding ultimate collectability. As of March 31, 2026,
we recorded an allowance of $1,611,930 against gross accounts receivable of $2,926,767, representing a reserve rate of 55.1%. The reserve
rate reflects the concentration of our receivables among a limited number of commercial customers and the extended payment terms common
in our industry.
This
estimate is inherently uncertain because it requires management to predict future customer behavior based on historical patterns that
may not be indicative of future collections. A 10% increase or decrease in our reserve rate would change the allowance by approximately
$293,000, with a corresponding impact on net income. Given the concentration of our receivable balance, the financial condition of a
single significant customer could have a disproportionate effect on this estimate.
Inventory
Valuation
We
carry inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Estimating net realizable value requires management to assess product demand,
technological obsolescence, and the expected selling prices of inventory on hand. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded
$64,343 in inventory valuation adjustments in connection with our transition to a new accounting system, which required a comprehensive
reconciliation of physical inventory counts to book records. These adjustments demonstrate the inherent uncertainty in this estimate.
Going
forward, our inventory valuation is subject to risk from rapid changes in product technology and customer demand, particularly as we
continue to evolve our simulator hardware lineup. A deterioration in demand for existing hardware models or the introduction of new products
that render current inventory obsolete could require additional write-downs beyond those already recorded. Management reviews inventory
for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis.
Capitalized
Software Development Costs and Technological Feasibility and Useful Life
We
capitalize software development costs once technological feasibility is established and cease capitalization when the product is
available for general release. As of March 31, 2026, capitalized software development costs, net of accumulated amortization, were
$4,230,512, and amortization expense was $469,213 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $100,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2025.
Two
estimates embedded in this balance involve significant judgment. First, the determination of when technological feasibility is
achieved affects the amount of costs eligible for capitalization versus those that must be expensed as incurred. An earlier or later
feasibility determination could materially change the amount capitalized in any given period. Second, we amortize capitalized
software costs over an estimated useful life of three years. If the actual useful life of our software products proves shorter than
three years due to technological change or loss of market relevance, we would be required to accelerate amortization or record an
impairment charge. Conversely, if useful lives are longer than estimated, our amortization expense may be overstated. Given the
$4,230,512 net balance subject to this estimate, a change in the estimated useful life from three years to two years would increase
annual amortization expense by approximately $702,000, which would be material to our results of operations.
