+Added: of our competitors and the competitors of our licensees may enjoy better competitive positions in certain geographical regions, user
+Added: demographics, or other key areas that we or our licensees currently serve or may serve in the future.
+Added: These advantages could enable such
+Added: competitors to offer services that are more appealing to users and potential users than the services offered by us or our licensees or
+Added: to respond more quickly or cost-effectively than us or our licensees to new or changing opportunities.
+Added: addition, within the love and marriage market sector generally, costs for consumers to switch between services are low, and consumers
+Added: have a propensity to try new approaches to connecting with people and to use multiple services at the same time.
+Added: As a result, new services,
+Added: entrants, and business models are likely to continue to emerge.
+Added: If we or a licensee become established as a dominant player in any particular
+Added: market, it is possible that a new service could gain rapid scale at the expense of existing brands by harnessing a new technology, such
+Added: as generative AI, or a new or existing distribution channel, creating a new or different approach to connecting people, or some other
+Added: We may need to respond by introducing new services or features (for us or for our licensees), and we may not be successful in

+Added: competitors also include established social media companies that may develop features or services that compete with ours or our licensees’
+Added: or operators of mobile operating systems and app stores.
+Added: For example, Facebook offers a dating feature on its platform, which it rolled
+Added: out globally several years ago and has grown dramatically in size supported by Facebook’s massive worldwide user footprint.
+Added: Social media and mobile platform competitors could use strong or dominant positions in one or more markets, coupled with ready access
+Added: to existing large pools of potential users and personal information regarding those users, to gain competitive advantages over us or

+Added: we are not able to compete effectively against current or future competitors as well as other services that may emerge, or if our decisions
+Added: regarding where to focus our investments are not successful in the long term, the size and level of engagement of our user base may decrease,
+Added: which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
+Added: If, similarly, our licensees are
+Added: unable to compete effectively or are unsuccessful in this regard, the size and level of engagement of their user base may decrease, which
+Added: could impact their payments to us and therefore have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
+Added: limited operating history and geographic reach of YYEM’s brands and services makes it difficult to evaluate our current business
+Added: and future prospects.

+Added: or for brands and services that we may launch in other jurisdictions.
+Added: We may encounter risks and difficulties as we build our brands

+Added: The failure to successfully scale these brands and services and address these risks and difficulties could adversely affect
+Added: our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
+Added: our licensees fail to add users (or if we fail to do so after developing our own offerings for end users), our revenue, financial results,
+Added: and business may be significantly harmed.
+Added: financial performance will be significantly determined by our licensees’ success in adding and retaining users of their services
+Added: (or our ability to do so if we develop our own offerings for end users).
+Added: Currently, the size of our licensees’ user base is impacted
+Added: by a number of factors, including competing products and services and global and regional business, macroeconomic, and geopolitical conditions.
+Added: people do not perceive our licensees’ services to be useful, the licensees may not be able to attract or retain users.

+Added: and those relating to the metaverse, or adopt new technologies, to improve our licensees’ existing services or introduce new services
+Added: in order to better satisfy existing users and to expand our licensees’ penetration of what continues to be a large available new-user
+Added: However, there can be no assurance that further implementation of technologies such as AI and those relating to the metaverse
+Added: will enhance our licensees’ services or be beneficial to our business, and the introduction of new features or services to their
+Added: existing services may have unintended consequences for their ecosystem, which could lead to fluctuations in the size of their user base.
+Added: our licensees are unable to maintain or increase the size of their user base (or if we are unable to do so), our revenue and other financial
+Added: results may be adversely affected.
+Added: Furthermore, as the size of our licensees’ user base fluctuates in one or more markets from
+Added: time to time, we may become increasingly dependent on our ability to maintain or increase levels of monetization in order to grow our
+Added: Any significant decrease in user retention or growth could render our licensees’ services less attractive to users, which
+Added: could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

+Added: retain users through cost-effective marketing efforts.
+Added: Any failure in those efforts could adversely affect our business, financial condition,
+Added: and results of operations.
+Added: and retaining users for any services we develop for end users will involve considerable expenditure for online and offline marketing,
+Added: likely requiring higher marketing outlays over time in order to sustain our growth.
+Added: This also applies to our licensees, whose success
+Added: is a key component of our own.
+Added: Evolving consumer behavior can affect the availability of profitable marketing opportunities.
+Added: campaigns may diminish in effectiveness as consumers move increasingly online.
+Added: Online campaigns may become less fruitful as large tech
+Added: platforms, such as Apple and Google, increasingly limit advertisers’ ability to access and use unique advertising identifiers,
+Added: cookies, and other information to acquire potential users (such as Apple’s rules regarding the collection and use of identifiers
+Added: for advertising, often referred to as IDFA).
+Added: To continue to reach potential users and grow our businesses after developing our own offerings
+Added: for end users, we will likely be required to identify and devote more of our overall marketing expenditure to newer advertising channels,
+Added: such as social media and online video platforms.
+Added: We could have less success using these newer advertising channels and methods to identify
+Added: potential customers.
+Added: There can be no assurance that we will be able to appropriately manage our marketing efforts in response to these
+Added: and other trends in the advertising industry.
+Added: Any failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results
+Added: of operations.
+Added: and marketing of, and access to, the online services offered by us and our licensees may rely, in significant part, on a variety of third-party
+Added: platforms, in particular, mobile app stores.
+Added: If these third parties limit, prohibit, or otherwise interfere with features or services
+Added: or change their policies in any material way, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
+Added: may market and distribute our online services (including our AI matchmaker application) through a variety of third-party distribution
+Added: channels, some of which may limit or prohibit advertisements for services such as ours, whether because they decide to launch competing
+Added: offerings in the same industry or because they are reacting to poor behavior by other industry participants, or for some other reason.
+Added: Furthermore, certain platforms on which we may market our services may not properly monitor or ensure the quality of content located
+Added: adjacent to or near our advertisements on such platforms, which could have a negative effect on consumers’ perceptions of our company.
+Added: The same issues apply to our licensees’ distribution channels and the platforms on which they may market their services.
+Added: these developments could rise to a level where our business, financial condition, and results of operations are adversely affected.

−Removed: in order to expand our reach, we engage with third-party distributors.
−Removed: To the extent those third-party distributors fail to comply with
−Removed: our operating guidelines, we may not be successful in protecting our brand image.

−Removed: Further, many of our products are made of materials, such as high
−Removed: impact plastics, plastic-injected molded parts, and lightweight high tensile strength metals, that are either petroleum-based or require
−Removed: energy to construct and transport.
−Removed: Costs for transportation of such materials have been increasing as the price of petroleum increases.
−Removed: Our independent suppliers and manufacturers may attempt to pass these cost increases on to us, and our relationships with them may be
−Removed: harmed or lost if we refuse to pay such increases, which could lead to product shortages.
−Removed: If we pay such increases, we may not be able

−Removed: do not control our independent manufacturers and suppliers or their labor and other business practices.
−Removed: Violations of labor, environmental
−Removed: or other laws by an independent manufacturer or supplier, or divergence of an independent manufacturer’s or supplier’s labor

−Removed: draw negative publicity for us, thereby diminishing the value of our brand, reducing demand for our products and adversely affecting
−Removed: our net income.
−Removed: Additionally, since we do not manufacture our products, we are subject to risks associated with inventory and product
−Removed: quality-control.
−Removed: we have not historically entered into manufacturing contracts with our manufacturers;
−Removed: instead, we have hired them on an ad hoc basis.
−Removed: Identifying a suitable manufacturer is an involved process that requires us to become satisfied with the prospective manufacturer’s
−Removed: quality control, responsiveness and service capabilities, financial stability and labor practices.
−Removed: While we have business continuity
−Removed: and contingency plans for alternative sourcing, we may be unable, in the event of a significant disruption in our sourcing, to locate

−Removed: have adversely impacted our operations.
−Removed: Continued disruptions in our supply chain and adverse consequences from aggressive trade policies
−Removed: could have a material adverse impact on our profitability and financial performance.

−Removed: operate in a global marketplace and international sales growth is a key element of our growth strategy.
−Removed: We are subject to risks associated
−Removed: with our international operations, including, but not limited to:

−Removed: premium goods, such as our products, which would adversely affect our net sales.
−Removed: We do not currently use the derivative markets to hedge
−Removed: foreign currency fluctuations.
−Removed: growth of our business depends on the successful execution of our growth strategy, and our efforts to expand internationally by growing
−Removed: our e-commerce business.
−Removed: are focused on developing an integrated Watch, Play and Learn platform under our Connexa brand.
−Removed: The Platform will bring together our owned offerings
−Removed: of Gameface and Slinger Bag under the umbrella of the Connexa brand.
−Removed: We believe our success will in large part depend on our ability
−Removed: to develop a cohesive platform that integrates elements of performance analysis from each.
−Removed: We may face difficulties integrating the technology
−Removed: and offerings from each brand in order create a cohesive business.
−Removed: For example, users of the Slinger Bag may view us a sporting goods

−Removed: not purchase our ball launchers.
−Removed: current growth strategy depends on our ability to continue to expand our reach geographically in a number of international regions in
−Removed: Asia, Europe, North America, Africa and Australia.
−Removed: This growth strategy is contingent upon our ability to introduce our products to new
−Removed: The implementation of higher tariffs, quotas or other restrictive trade policies in any international regions in which we seek

−Removed: Further, consumer demand behavior, as well as tastes and purchasing trends, may differ in various countries and, as a result,

−Removed: Our ability to execute our international growth strategy, especially where we are not yet established,
−Removed: depends on our ability to understand regional market demographics, and we may not be able to do so.
−Removed: we are unable to develop the integrated Watch, Watch, Play and Learn platform and expand our business internationally, our growth strategy
−Removed: and our financial results could be materially adversely affected.
−Removed: we are unable to respond effectively to changes in market trends and consumer preferences, our market share, net sales and profitability
−Removed: could be adversely affected.
−Removed: success of our business depends on our ability to identify the key product and market trends and bring products to market in a timely
−Removed: manner that satisfy the current preferences of a broad range of consumers (either by enhancing existing products or by developing new
−Removed: product offerings).
−Removed: Consumer preferences differ across and within different parts of the world, and shift over time in response to changing
−Removed: aesthetics and economic circumstances.
−Removed: We believe that our success in developing products that are innovative and that meet our consumers’
−Removed: functional needs is an important factor in our image as a premium brand, and in our ability to charge premium prices.
−Removed: We may not be able
−Removed: to anticipate or respond to changes in consumer preferences, and, even if we do anticipate and respond to such changes, we may not be
−Removed: able to bring to market in a timely manner enhanced or new products that meet these changing preferences.
−Removed: If we fail to anticipate or
−Removed: respond to changes in consumer preferences or fail to bring products to market in a timely manner that satisfy new preferences, our market
−Removed: share and our net sales and profitability could be adversely affected.
−Removed: may be unable to appeal to new consumers while maintaining the loyalty of our core consumers.
−Removed: of our growth strategy is to introduce new consumers, including young consumers, to our brands.

−Removed: including young consumers, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected as our core consumers’ age increases
−Removed: and purchasing frequency decrease.
−Removed: Initiatives and strategies intended to position our brand to appeal to new and young consumers may
−Removed: not appeal to our core consumers and may diminish the appeal of our brand to our core consumers, resulting in reduced core consumer loyalty.
−Removed: If we are unable to successfully appeal to new and young consumers while maintaining our brand’s image with our core consumers,
−Removed: then our net sales and our brand image may be adversely affected.
−Removed: business could suffer if we are unable to maintain our website or manage our inventory effectively.
−Removed: employ a distribution strategy that is heavily dependent upon our website and third-party distributors’ e-commerce websites.
−Removed: effectiveness of our e-commerce strategy depends on our ability to manage our inventory and our distribution processes effectively so
−Removed: as to ensure that our products are available in sufficient quantities and thereby prevent lost sales.
−Removed: If we are not able to maintain
−Removed: our e-commerce channels, or if we are not able to effectively manage our inventory, we could experience a decline in net sales, as well
−Removed: as excess inventories for some products and missed opportunities for other products.
−Removed: In addition, the failure to deliver our products
−Removed: to customers in accordance with our delivery schedules could damage our relationship with these customers and lead to negative feedback
−Removed: being posted on e-commerce sites.
−Removed: Consequently, our net sales, profitability and the implementation of our growth strategy could be adversely

−Removed: capital, which may not be available to us.
−Removed: expect our business to rely on net cash provided by our future operating activities as our primary source of liquidity.
−Removed: our business and execute our growth strategy as planned, we will need to generate significant amounts of cash from operations in
−Removed: order to purchase inventory, pay personnel, invest in research and development, and pay for the increased costs associated with
−Removed: operating as a public company.
−Removed: Operating cash flows have previously been weak and in the year ended April 30, 2023,
−Removed: we had to significantly curtail operations and dispose of our PlaySight and Foundation Sports operations.
−Removed: If our business does not generate cash flow from operating
−Removed: activities sufficient to fund planned activities, and if sufficient funds are not otherwise available to us, we will need to seek
−Removed: additional capital, through debt or equity financings, to fund our growth.
−Removed: Conditions in the credit markets (such as availability of
−Removed: finance and fluctuations in interest rates) may make it difficult for us to obtain such financing on attractive terms or even at
−Removed: Additional debt financing that we may undertake, may be expensive and might impose on us covenants that restrict our operations
−Removed: and strategic initiatives, including limitations on our ability to incur liens or additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase our
−Removed: capital stock, make investments and engage in merger, consolidation and asset sale transactions.
−Removed: Equity financings may be on terms
−Removed: that are dilutive or potentially dilutive to our shareholders, and the prices at which new investors would be willing to purchase
−Removed: our equity securities may be lower than the price per share of our common stock.
−Removed: The holders of new securities may also have rights,
−Removed: preferences or privileges that are senior to those of existing holders of common stock.
−Removed: If new sources of financing are required,
−Removed: but are unattractive, insufficient or unavailable, then we will be required to modify our growth and operating plans based on
−Removed: available funding, if any, which would inhibit our growth and could harm our business.
−Removed: extended supply chain requires long lead times and relies heavily on manufacturers in Asia.
−Removed: rely heavily on manufacturers in Asia, which requires long lead times to get goods to markets.
−Removed: The long lead times will require us to
−Removed: carry extra inventory to avoid out-of-stock scenarios.
−Removed: In the event of a decline in demand for our products, due to general economic
−Removed: conditions or other factors, we may be forced to liquidate this extra inventory at lower margins or at a loss.
−Removed: In addition, consumers’

−Removed: and expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability, which could substantially harm our business and results of operations.
−Removed: In addition, anyone who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions
−Removed: in our operations.
−Removed: the platform and applications that we use to operate our business are highly technical and complex and may now or in the future contain

+Added: ability to distribute or promote its applications through their stores, its ability to update its applications, and its ability to
+Added: access information that the apps collect about users.
+Added: To the extent either Apple or Google does so, our business, financial
+Added: condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.
+Added: success of our services for end users, and those of our licensees, will depend in part on our ability, or our licensees’ ability,
+Added: to access, collect, and use personal data about users and subscribers.
+Added: and our licensees may rely extensively on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, as well as other technology platforms, to distribute
+Added: and monetize our mobile applications.
+Added: Users and subscribers will pay through these platforms, which will prevent us or our licensees
+Added: from accessing key user data that we or they would otherwise receive if the transaction were with the users and subscribers directly.
+Added: This could negatively impact customer relationship management efforts, the ability to reach new segments of our respective user and subscriber
+Added: bases and the population generally, the efficiency of paid marketing efforts, the rates we or our licensees are able to charge advertisers
+Added: seeking to reach users and subscribers of our respective services, our ability to comply with applicable law, and our ability, and our

+Added: the distribution of our online services through app stores increases, in order to maintain our profit margins, we may need to take steps
+Added: to offset increasing app store fees by decreasing traditional marketing expenditure, increasing user volume or monetization per user,
+Added: or consolidating back-office and technical functions, or by engaging in other efforts to increase revenue or decrease costs generally.
+Added: we expect that any mobile applications that we may develop will be free to download from intermediary platforms like the Apple App Store
+Added: and the Google Play Store, we intend to offer our users the opportunity to purchase subscriptions and features within the applications.
+Added: These purchases are in most cases required to be processed through the in-app payment systems provided by the intermediary, thus requiring
+Added: us to pay them a meaningful share of the revenue we receive from these transactions.
+Added: Given the expected increase in fees relating to these intermediary
+Added: platforms, we may in the future need to offset these increased fees by decreasing traditional marketing expenditure as a percentage of
+Added: revenue, increasing user volume or monetization per user, or consolidating back-office or technical functions, or by engaging in other
+Added: efforts to increase revenue or decrease costs generally.
+Added: properly managing the use of artificial intelligence could result in reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability.
+Added: and our licensees are working to integrate AI technologies into our respective services, which integrations may become important to our
+Added: operations over time.
+Added: Competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI into their services more quickly or more successfully than
+Added: us, which could impair our ability to compete effectively and adversely affect our results of operations.
+Added: Additionally, AI algorithms

+Added: of AI-enhanced services.
+Added: Any such cybersecurity incidents related to our use of AI or our licensees’ use of AI could adversely
+Added: affect our reputation and results of operations.
+Added: AI also presents emerging ethical issues, and if our use of AI becomes controversial,
+Added: we may experience reputational harm, competitive harm, or legal liability.
+Added: The rapid evolution of AI will require the dedication of significant

+Added: depend on our key personnel.
+Added: future success will depend on our continued ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate, and retain highly skilled individuals
+Added: across the markets where we operate, with the continued contributions of management, as well as contributions from sales teams and
+Added: technology teams, being especially critical to our success.
+Added: Competition for well-qualified employees or contractors is intense, and
+Added: our continued ability to compete effectively depends, in part, on our ability to attract new employees or contractors.

−Removed: Now our focused has shifted to the Watch,
−Removed: Watch, Play and Learn integrated platform which includes the analysis and AI offered by Gameface under the Slinger App brand.
−Removed: Watch, Watch, Play and Learn Platform requires integration of the capabilities of our existing business with those of Gameface AI
−Removed: Failure to deliver this integration would mean that we may not be able to realize the benefits of the Gameface acquisition
−Removed: and our business may be materially adversely affected.
−Removed: to continue to obtain or maintain high-quality endorsers of our products could harm our business.
−Removed: establish relationships with professional athletes, as well as other public figures such as teaching pros and influencers, to develop,
−Removed: evaluate and promote our products, as well as establish product authenticity with consumers.
−Removed: However, as competition in our industry
−Removed: has increased, the costs associated with establishing and retaining such sponsorships and other relationships have increased.
−Removed: unable to maintain our current associations with professional athletes, or other public figures, or to do so at a reasonable cost, we
−Removed: could lose the high visibility or on-field authenticity associated with our products, and we may be required to modify and substantially
−Removed: increase our marketing investments.
−Removed: Any substantial deterioration in these relationships, or substantial deterioration of our relationship
−Removed: with their talent managers or other key personnel, could adversely affect our business.
−Removed: As a result, our brands, net revenues, expenses
−Removed: and profitability could be harmed.
−Removed: If certain endorsers were to stop using our products contrary to their endorsement agreements, our
−Removed: business could be adversely affected.
−Removed: taken by athletes or other endorsers, associated with our products that harm the reputations of those athletes or endorsers, could also
−Removed: seriously harm our brand image with consumers and, as a result, could have an adverse effect on our sales and financial condition.
−Removed: taken by athletes or other endorsers, associated with our products that harm the reputations of those athletes or endorsers, could also

−Removed: performance by our endorsers, a failure to continue to correctly identify future athletes, public figures or sports organizations, to
−Removed: use and endorse our products or a failure to enter into cost-effective endorsement arrangements with prominent athletes, public figures,
−Removed: and sports organizations could adversely affect our brand, sales and profitability.
−Removed: We are also subject to laws, regulations and industry
−Removed: standards relating to endorsements and influencer marketing.
−Removed: Many of these laws, regulations and industry standards are changing and
−Removed: may be subject to differing interpretations, are costly to comply with or inconsistent among jurisdictions.
−Removed: business may be affected by seasonality, which could result in fluctuations in our operating results.
−Removed: expect to experience moderate fluctuations in aggregate sales volume during the year.
−Removed: We expect revenues in the first and fourth fiscal
−Removed: quarters to exceed those in the second and third fiscal quarters.
−Removed: However, the mix of product sales may vary considerably from time to
−Removed: time as a result of changes in seasonal and geographic demand for tennis and other sports equipment and in connection with the timing
−Removed: of significant sporting events, such as any Grand Slam tennis tournament and, over time, other sports competitions.
−Removed: In addition, our
−Removed: customers may cancel orders, change delivery schedules or change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice.
−Removed: As a result, we may
−Removed: not be able to accurately predict our quarterly sales.
−Removed: Accordingly, our results of operations are likely to fluctuate significantly from
−Removed: period to period.
−Removed: Our operating margins are also sensitive to a number of additional factors that are beyond our control, including manufacturing
−Removed: and transportation costs, shifts in product sales mix and geographic sales trends, all of which we expect to continue.
−Removed: Results of operations
−Removed: in any period should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.
−Removed: may be adversely affected by the financial health of our third-party internet partners, wholesale purchasers, retailers, and distributors.
−Removed: extend credit to our distributors and to a select number of third party internet partners based on an assessment of a customer’s
−Removed: financial condition, generally without requiring collateral.
−Removed: To assist in the scheduling of production and the shipping of our products,
−Removed: we offer our distributor partners the opportunity to place orders three months ahead of delivery under our direct ship ordering program.
−Removed: These advance orders may be canceled under certain conditions, and the risk of cancellation may increase when dealing with financially
−Removed: unstable distribution partners struggling with economic uncertainty.
−Removed: In the past, some sports customers have experienced financial difficulties
−Removed: up to and including bankruptcies.
−Removed: Such future events would have an adverse effect on our sales, our ability to collect on receivables
−Removed: and our financial condition.
−Removed: When the retail economy weakens or as consumer behavior shifts, distributors may be more cautious with orders.
−Removed: A slowing or changing economy in our key markets could adversely affect the financial health of our customers, which in turn could have
−Removed: an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
−Removed: In addition, product sales are dependent in part on high quality
−Removed: digital advertising and merchandising to attract consumers, which requires continuing investments by the company, our distributors and
−Removed: our third party internet partners.
−Removed: Distributors or partners that experience financial difficulties may fail to make such investments
−Removed: or delay them, resulting in lower sales and orders for our products.
−Removed: to accurately forecast consumer demand could lead to excess inventories or inventory shortages, which could result in decreased operating
−Removed: margins, reduced cash flows and harm to our business.
−Removed: is a risk we may be unable to sell excess products ordered from manufacturers.
−Removed: Inventory levels in excess of customer demand may result
−Removed: in inventory write-downs, and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices could significantly impair our brand image and have an
−Removed: adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition and cash flows.
−Removed: Conversely, if we underestimate consumer demand for our
−Removed: products or if our manufacturers fail to supply products, we require at the time we need them, we may experience inventory shortages.
−Removed: Inventory shortages might delay shipments to customers, negatively impact retailer, distributor and consumer relationships and diminish
−Removed: brand loyalty.
−Removed: The difficulty in forecasting demand also makes it difficult to estimate our future results of operations, financial condition
−Removed: and cash flows from period to period.
−Removed: A failure to accurately predict the level of demand for our products could adversely affect our
−Removed: net revenues and net income, and we are unlikely to forecast such effects with any certainty in advance.
−Removed: Consolidation
−Removed: of retailers or concentration of retail market share among a few retailers may increase and concentrate our credit risk and impair our
−Removed: ability to sell products.
−Removed: sports equipment retail markets in some countries are dominated by a few large athletic equipment retailers with many stores.
−Removed: These retailers
−Removed: have in the past increased their market share by expanding through acquisitions and construction of additional stores.
−Removed: These situations
−Removed: concentrate our credit risk with a relatively small number of retailers, and, if any of these retailers were to experience a shortage
−Removed: of liquidity or consumer behavior shifts away from traditional retail, it would increase the risk that their outstanding payables to
−Removed: us may not be paid.
−Removed: In addition, increasing market share concentration among one or a few retailers in a particular country or region
−Removed: increases the risk that if any one of them substantially reduces their purchases of our products, we may be unable to find a sufficient
−Removed: number of other retail outlets for our products to sustain the same level of sales and revenues.
−Removed: the technology-based systems that give our consumers the ability to shop with us online do not function effectively, our operating results,
−Removed: as well as our ability to grow our digital commerce business globally, could be materially adversely affected.
−Removed: of our consumers shop with us through our digital platforms.
−Removed: Increasingly, consumers are using mobile-based devices and applications
−Removed: to shop online with us and with our competitors and to do comparison shopping.
−Removed: We are increasingly using social media and proprietary
−Removed: mobile applications to interact with our consumers and as a means to enhance their shopping experience.
−Removed: Any failure on our part to provide
−Removed: attractive, effective, reliable, user-friendly digital commerce platforms that offer a wide assortment of merchandise with rapid delivery
−Removed: options and that continually meet the changing expectations of online shoppers could place us at a competitive disadvantage, result in
−Removed: the loss of digital commerce and other sales, harm our reputation with consumers, have a material adverse impact on the growth of our
−Removed: digital commerce business globally and could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
−Removed: Risks specific
−Removed: to our digital commerce business also include liability for online content.
−Removed: Our failure to successfully respond to these risks might
−Removed: adversely affect sales in our digital commerce business, as well as damage our reputation and brands.
−Removed: Many factors unique to e-commerce
−Removed: operations, some of which are beyond our control, pose risks and uncertainties.
−Removed: Risks include, but are not limited to, credit card fraud
−Removed: or data mismanagement.
−Removed: products are subject to risks associated with overseas sourcing, manufacturing and financing.
−Removed: principal materials used in our products (e.g., injection molded plastics, polyester, electrical motors, remote controls, trolley bags)
−Removed: are available in countries where our manufacturing takes place.
−Removed: Our products are dependent upon the ability of our unaffiliated contract
−Removed: manufacturers to locate, train, employ and retain adequate personnel.
−Removed: Our contractors and suppliers buy raw materials and are subject
−Removed: to wage rates that are oftentimes regulated by the governments of the countries in which our products are manufactured.
−Removed: could be a significant disruption in the supply of raw materials from current sources or, in the event of a disruption, our contract
−Removed: manufacturers might not be able to locate alternative suppliers of materials of comparable quality at an acceptable price or at all.
−Removed: Further, our unaffiliated contract manufacturers have experienced and may continue to experience in the future, unexpected increases
−Removed: in work wages, whether government mandated or otherwise and increases in compliance costs due to governmental regulation concerning certain
−Removed: metals used in the manufacturing of our products.
−Removed: In addition, we cannot be certain that our unaffiliated manufacturers will be able
−Removed: to fill our orders in a timely manner.
−Removed: If we experience significant increases in demand, or reductions in the availability of materials,
−Removed: or need to replace an existing manufacturer, there can be no assurance additional supplies of raw materials or additional manufacturing
−Removed: capacity will be available when required on terms acceptable to us, or at all, or that any supplier or manufacturer would allocate sufficient
−Removed: capacity to us in order to meet our requirements.
−Removed: In addition, even if we are able to expand existing or find new manufacturing or sources
−Removed: of materials, we may encounter delays in production and added costs as a result of the time it takes to train suppliers and manufacturers
−Removed: in our methods, products, quality control standards and labor, health and safety standards.
−Removed: Any delays, interruption or increased costs
−Removed: in labor or wages, or the supply of materials or manufacture of our products could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet retail
−Removed: customer and consumer demand for our products and result in lower revenues and net income both in the short- and long-term.
−Removed: independent manufacturers make all of our products outside of our principal sales markets, our products must be transported by third
−Removed: parties over large geographic distances.
−Removed: Delays in the shipment or delivery of our products due to the availability of transportation,
−Removed: work stoppages, port strikes, infrastructure congestion or other factors, and costs and delays associated with consolidating or transitioning
−Removed: between manufacturers, could adversely impact our financial performance.
−Removed: In addition, manufacturing delays or unexpected demand for our
−Removed: products may require us to use faster, but more expensive, transportation methods such as air freight, which could adversely affect our
−Removed: profit margins.
−Removed: The cost of oil is a significant component in manufacturing and transportation costs, so increases in the price of petroleum
−Removed: products can adversely affect our profit margins.
−Removed: Changes in U.S.
−Removed: trade policies, including new and potential changes to import tariffs
−Removed: and existing trade policies and agreements, could also have a significant impact on our activities in foreign jurisdictions, and could
−Removed: adversely affect our results of operations.
−Removed: financial results may be adversely affected if substantial investments in businesses and operations fail to produce expected returns.
+Added: if we fail to adequately prevent fraudulent credit card transactions, we may face litigation, fines, governmental enforcement action,
+Added: civil liability, diminished public perception of our security measures, significantly higher credit card-related and remediation costs,
+Added: or refusal by credit card processors to continue to process payments on our behalf, any of which could adversely affect our business,
+Added: financial condition, and results of operations.
+Added: we develop our own offerings for end users, inappropriate actions by certain of our users could be attributed to us and damage our reputation,
+Added: which in turn could adversely affect our business.
+Added: of our services may in the future be physically, financially, emotionally, or otherwise harmed by individuals that such users meet through
+Added: one of our services.
+Added: If any users suffer or allege to have suffered any such harm, we could experience negative publicity or legal action
+Added: that could damage our reputation.
+Added: Similar events affecting users of our competitors’ services could result in negative publicity
+Added: for our industry generally, which could in turn negatively affect our business.
+Added: addition, our reputation may be adversely affected by actions of our users that are deemed to be hostile, offensive, defamatory, inappropriate,
+Added: untrue, or unlawful.
+Added: While our focus to date on offline matchmaking has helped to avoid such incidents, and while we intend to develop
+Added: systems and processes that aim to monitor and review the appropriateness of content accessible through our online services, together
+Added: with policies regarding illegal, offensive, or inappropriate use of our services, our users could nonetheless engage in activities that
+Added: violate our policies.
+Added: Such bad actors may also use emerging technologies, such as AI, to engage in such activities, making it more difficult
+Added: for us to detect and prevent such negative behavior.
+Added: Our safeguards may not be sufficient to avoid harm to our reputation, especially
+Added: if such hostile, offensive, or inappropriate use is well-publicized.
+Added: may fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or may be accused of infringing the intellectual property rights of third
+Added: currently rely exclusively on patents that we license out, and we expect, in the future, that we will rely heavily on our trademarks
+Added: and related domain names and logos for marketing and to build and maintain brand loyalty and recognition.
+Added: We also expect to rely on other
+Added: patented and patent-pending proprietary technologies and trade secrets, such as our own app, relating to our services.
+Added: will continue to rely on a combination of laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect our intellectual property rights.
+Added: For example, we continue to apply to register, or secure by contract where appropriate, trademarks and service marks as they are developed
+Added: and used, and we are reserving, registering, and renewing domain names as we deem appropriate.
+Added: Effective trademark protection may not
+Added: be available or sought in every country in which our services are made available, and contractual disputes may affect the use of marks
+Added: governed by private contract.
+Added: Similarly, not every variation of a domain name may be available or registered by us, even if available.
+Added: generally will seek to apply for patents or other similar statutory protections as and when we deem appropriate, based on then-current
+Added: facts and circumstances.
+Added: No assurance can be given that any patent application we have filed or will file will result in a patent being
+Added: issued, or that any existing or future patents will afford adequate protection against competitors and similar technologies.
+Added: no assurance can be given that third parties will not create new products or methods that achieve similar results without infringing
+Added: upon patents we own.
+Added: these measures, our intellectual property rights may still not be protected in a meaningful manner, challenges to contractual rights
+Added: could arise, third parties could copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual property without authorization, our existing trademarks,
+Added: patents, or trade secrets could be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, or laws and interpretations of laws regarding the enforceability
+Added: of existing intellectual property rights could change over time in a manner that provides less protection.
+Added: The occurrence of any of these
+Added: events could tarnish our reputation, limit our marketing ability, or impede our ability to effectively compete against competitors with
+Added: similar technologies, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
+Added: may also occasionally be subject to legal proceedings and claims regarding intellectual property, including claims of alleged infringement
+Added: of trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other intellectual property rights held by third parties and of invalidity of our own rights.
+Added: In addition, we may decide we should engage in litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and
+Added: patents, or to determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights claimed by others.
+Added: Any litigation of this nature, regardless of
+Added: outcome or merit, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management and technical resources, any of which could adversely
+Added: affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
+Added: intend to expand to various international markets, including markets in which we have limited experience, and as a result, we face additional
+Added: risks in connection with those operations.
+Added: internationally, particularly in countries in which we have limited experience, exposes us to a number of additional risks, such as:

+Added: in staffing and managing international operations;
+Added: levels of social and technological acceptance of our services or lack of acceptance of them generally;

+Added: sanctions, political unrest, terrorism, war, and epidemics, or the threat of any of these events.
+Added: risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
+Added: are subject to litigation, and adverse outcomes in such litigation could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
+Added: time to time, we may become subject to litigation, and to various legal proceedings relating to employment matters, intellectual property
+Added: matters, and privacy and consumer protection laws, as well as stockholder derivative suits, class action lawsuits, mass arbitrations,
+Added: and other matters.
+Added: Such litigation and proceedings may involve claims for substantial amounts of money or for other relief, may result
+Added: in significant costs for legal representation, arbitration fees, or other legal or related services, or might necessitate changes to
+Added: our business or operations.
+Added: The defense of these actions is likely to be time consuming and expensive.
+Added: We will evaluate these litigation
+Added: claims and legal proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential loss.
+Added: Based on these assessments and estimates, we may establish reserves or disclose the relevant litigation claims or legal proceedings as
+Added: and when required or appropriate.
+Added: These assessments and estimates will be based on information available to our management at the time
+Added: of such assessment or estimation and will involve a significant amount of judgment.
+Added: As a result, actual outcomes or losses could differ
+Added: materially from those envisioned by our current assessments and estimates.
+Added: Our failure to successfully defend or settle any of these

+Added: In recent years, the United States, Europe and other
+Added: key global markets have experienced historically high levels of inflation, which have impacted, among other things, employee compensation
+Added: If inflation rates rise again or continue to remain historically high or further increase in those locations where inflation
+Added: rates remain elevated, it will likely affect our expenses, and may reduce consumer discretionary spending, which could affect the buying
+Added: power of our users and lead to a reduction in demand for our services.
+Added: Other events and trends that could result in decreased levels

−Removed: acquisitions we make could disrupt our business and seriously harm our financial condition.
−Removed: have in the past made (and may, from time to time, consider) acquisitions of complementary companies, products or technologies.
−Removed: component of our growth strategy has been to acquire complementary businesses to grow our Company.
−Removed: For example, we acquired the business
−Removed: of Foundation Sports Systems, LLC, in our fiscal year ended April 30, 2021, and the acquisitions of PlaySight and Gameface closed in
−Removed: the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022.
−Removed: In the Company’s fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2023, the Company divested PlaySight and
−Removed: 75% of its interest in Foundation Sports as the required monthly cash burn became increasingly difficult to manage as inflation rose
−Removed: and the cost of manufacturing the Company’s non-technological products grew.
−Removed: As a result, the Company sold PlaySight back to its
−Removed: original owners of in November 2022, and the Company sold most (75%) of Foundation Tennis back to their original owners, with an option
−Removed: to purchase any remaining interests.
−Removed: We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions of complementary technologies, products and businesses
−Removed: as a primary component of our growth strategy to enhance the features and functionality of our applications, expand our customer base
−Removed: and provide access to new markets and increase benefits of scale.
−Removed: Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the
−Removed: assimilation of the acquired businesses, the diversion of our management’s attention from other business concerns and potential
−Removed: adverse effects on existing business relationships could cause our actual growth or operating results to differ from our expectations.
−Removed: In addition, any acquisitions could involve the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness.
−Removed: We cannot assure you that we will
−Removed: be able to successfully integrate any acquisitions that we pursue or that such acquisitions will perform as planned or prove to be beneficial
−Removed: to our operations and cash flow.
−Removed: Any such failure could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: addition, there might be potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing
−Removed: of the products to new and existing customers.
−Removed: aspects of our business processes include open-source software, which poses risks that could have a material and adverse effect on our
−Removed: business, financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: In addition, any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open-source
−Removed: licenses could negatively affect our business.
−Removed: incorporate open-source software into processes supporting our business and anticipate using open- source software in the future.
−Removed: open-source software may include software covered by licenses like the GNU General Public License and the Apache License.
−Removed: various open-source licenses to which we are subject have not been interpreted by U.S.
−Removed: courts, and there is a risk that such licenses
−Removed: could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to operate our systems, limits our
−Removed: use of the software, inhibits certain aspects of our systems and negatively affects our business operations.
−Removed: open-source licenses contain requirements that we make source code modifications or derivative works we create publicly available or
−Removed: make such modifications or derivative works available on unfavorable terms or at no cost, depending on the type of open-source software
−Removed: we monitor our use of open-source software and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require us to disclose our proprietary
−Removed: source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open-source license, such use could inadvertently occur, or could be claimed
−Removed: to have occurred, in part because open-source license terms are often ambiguous.
−Removed: We may face claims from third parties claiming ownership
−Removed: of, or demanding the release or license of, modifications or derivative works that we have developed using such open-source software
−Removed: (which could include our proprietary source code or artificial intelligence (“AI”) models), or otherwise seeking to enforce
−Removed: the terms of the applicable open-source license.
−Removed: These claims could result in litigation and if portions of our proprietary AI models
−Removed: or software are determined to be subject to an open-source license, or if the license terms for the open-source software that we incorporate
−Removed: change, we could be required to publicly release all or affected portions of our source code, purchase a costly license, cease offering
−Removed: the implicated products or services unless and until we can re-engineer such source code in a manner that avoids infringement, discontinue
−Removed: or delay the provision of our offerings if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis or change our business activities,
−Removed: any of which could negatively affect our business operations and potentially our intellectual property rights.
−Removed: In addition, the re-engineering
−Removed: process could require us to expend significant additional research and development resources, and we may not be able to complete the
−Removed: re-engineering process successfully.
−Removed: If we were required to publicly disclose any portion of our proprietary models, it is possible we
−Removed: could lose the benefit of trade secret protection for our models.
−Removed: addition to risks related to license requirements, the use of certain open-source software can lead to greater risks than the use of
−Removed: third-party commercial software, as open-source licensors generally do not provide support, warranties, indemnification, controls or
−Removed: other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the origin of the software.
−Removed: There is little legal precedent
−Removed: in this area, and any actual or claimed requirement to disclose our proprietary source code or pay damages for breach of contract could
−Removed: harm our business and could help third parties, including our competitors, develop products and services that are similar to or better
−Removed: Use of open-source software may also present additional security risks because the public availability of such software may
−Removed: make it easier for hackers and other third parties to determine how to breach our website and systems that rely on open-source software.
−Removed: Any of these risks associated with the use of open-source software could be difficult to eliminate or manage, and if not addressed, could
−Removed: materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: defects, failures or disruptions, including events beyond our control, and resulting interruptions in the availability of our websites,
−Removed: applications, products, or services could harm our business, harm our reputation, result in significant costs to us, decrease our potential
−Removed: profitability and expose us to substantial liability.
−Removed: use vendors, such as our cloud computing web services provider and third-party software providers, in the operation of our platform.
−Removed: The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our technology and our underlying network and infrastructure are critical
−Removed: to our operations and reputation and the ability of our platform to attract new and retain existing customers.
−Removed: We rely on these vendors
−Removed: to protect their systems and facilities against damage or service interruptions from natural disasters, power or telecommunications failures,
−Removed: air quality issues, environmental conditions, computer viruses or attempts to harm these systems, criminal acts, unauthorized access,
−Removed: sabotage, acts of vandalism, military actions, negligence, human errors, fraud, spikes in platform use and denial of service issues,
−Removed: hardware failures, improper operation, cyberattacks, data loss, wars and similar events.
−Removed: If our arrangement with a vendor is terminated
−Removed: or if there is a lapse of service or damage to its systems or facilities, we could experience interruptions in our ability to operate
−Removed: our platform.
−Removed: We also may experience increased costs and difficulties in replacing that vendor and replacement services may not be available
−Removed: on commercially reasonable terms, on a timely basis, or at all.
−Removed: addition, our platform may be accessed by many users at the same time.
−Removed: As we continue to expand the number of our users, and products
−Removed: and services available through our platform, we may not be able to scale our technology to accommodate the increased capacity requirements.
−Removed: The failure of data centers, internet service providers or other third- party service providers to meet our capacity requirements could
−Removed: result in interruptions or delays in access to our platform or impede our ability to grow our business and scale our operations.
−Removed: interruptions or delays in our platform availability, whether as a result of a failure to perform on the part of a vendor, any damage
−Removed: to one of our vendor’s systems or facilities, the termination of any of our third-party vendor agreements, software failures, our
−Removed: or our vendor’s error, natural disasters, terrorism, other man-made problems, security breaches, whether accidental or willful,
−Removed: or other factors, could harm our relationships with our customers, prevent our customers from accessing their accounts, damage our reputation
−Removed: with current and potential customers, expose us to liability, cause us to lose customers, cause the loss of critical data, prevent us
−Removed: from supporting our platform, products or services or cause us to incur additional expense in arranging for new facilities and support
−Removed: or otherwise harm our business and also harm our reputation.
−Removed: addition, we source certain information from third parties.
−Removed: In the event that any third party from which we source information experiences
−Removed: a service disruption, whether as a result of maintenance, natural disasters, terrorism, or security breaches, whether accidental or willful,
−Removed: or other factors, the ability to access our platform may be adversely impacted.
−Removed: Additionally, there may be errors contained in the information
−Removed: provided by third parties.
−Removed: This may result in the inability to approve otherwise qualified applicants through our platform, which may
−Removed: adversely impact our business by negatively impacting our reputation and reducing our transaction volume.
−Removed: the extent we use or are dependent on any particular third-party data, technology, or software, we may also be harmed if such data, technology,
−Removed: or software becomes non-compliant with existing regulations or industry standards, becomes subject to third-party claims of intellectual
−Removed: property infringement, misappropriation, or other violation, or malfunctions or functions in a way we did not anticipate.
−Removed: the right to use any of this data, technology, or software could result in delays in the provisioning of our products and services until
−Removed: equivalent or replacement data, technology, or software is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained, and integrated,
−Removed: and there is no guarantee that we would be successful in developing, identifying, obtaining, or integrating equivalent or similar data,
−Removed: technology, or software, which could result in the loss or limiting of our products, services, or features available in our products
−Removed: ability to sell our products and services will be dependent on the quality of our technical support and our failure to deliver high-quality
−Removed: technical support services could have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations.
−Removed: we do not effectively assist our users in deploying our products and services, succeed in helping our users quickly resolve post-deployment
−Removed: issues and provide effective ongoing support, or if potential customers perceive that we may not be able to achieve the foregoing, our
−Removed: ability to sell our products and services would be adversely affected, and our reputation with potential users could be harmed.
−Removed: if we expand our operations internationally, our technical support team will face additional challenges, including those associated with
−Removed: delivering support, training and documentation in languages other than the English language.
−Removed: As a result, our failure to deliver and
−Removed: maintain high-quality technical support services to our users could result in customers choosing to use our competitors’ products
−Removed: or services in the future.
−Removed: Gameface products and services may fail to keep pace with rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards.
−Removed: market in which our Gameface technology operates is characterized by rapid, and sometimes disruptive, technological developments,
−Removed: evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions and enhancements and changes in user requirements.
−Removed: In addition, both
−Removed: traditional and new competitors are investing heavily in our market areas and competing for users.
−Removed: As next-generation video
−Removed: analytics technology continues to evolve, we must keep pace in order to maintain or expand our market position.
−Removed: If we are not able
−Removed: to successfully add staff resources with sufficient technical skills to develop and bring new products to market in a timely manner,
−Removed: achieve market acceptance of our products and services or identify new market opportunities for our products and services, our
−Removed: business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
−Removed: business-to-business e-commerce industry is highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete effectively.
−Removed: market for business-to-business (“B2B”) e-commerce solutions is rapidly changing and intensely competitive.
−Removed: We expect competition
−Removed: to intensify as the number of entrants and new technologies increases.
−Removed: We may not be able to compete successfully against current or
−Removed: future competitors.
−Removed: The competitive pressures facing us may harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
−Removed: we are not able to enhance or introduce new products that achieve market acceptance and keep pace with technological developments, our
−Removed: business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.
−Removed: ability to attract new users and increase revenue from existing customers depends in part on our ability to enhance and improve our platforms,
−Removed: increase adoption and usage of our products and introduce new products and features.
−Removed: The success of any enhancements or new products
−Removed: depends on several factors, including timely completion, adequate quality testing, actual performance quality, market-accepted pricing
−Removed: levels and overall market acceptance and demand.
−Removed: Enhancements and new products that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective
−Removed: manner, may contain defects, may have interoperability difficulties with our platform, or may not achieve the market acceptance necessary
−Removed: to generate significant revenue.
−Removed: If we are unable to successfully enhance our existing platform and capabilities to meet evolving customer
−Removed: requirements, increase adoption and usage of our platform, develop new products, or if our efforts to increase the usage of our products
−Removed: are more expensive than we expect, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.
−Removed: may experience difficulty in integrating Gameface with third-party applications, which would inhibit sales.
−Removed: may serve a customer base with a wide variety of constantly changing hardware, operating system software, packaged software applications
−Removed: and networking platforms.
−Removed: If Gameface fails to gain broad market acceptance due to its inability to support a variety of these platforms,
−Removed: our operating results may suffer.
−Removed: Our business depends, in part, on the following factors:
−Removed: ability to integrate Gameface with multiple platforms and existing systems and to modify our product as new versions of packaged
−Removed: applications are introduced;
−Removed: to application program interfaces for the third-party software products that are integrated with our products;
−Removed: ability to anticipate and support new standards.
−Removed: of cooperation from Vendors of the software we use in Gameface and other products may interfere with the use of Gameface apps and inhibit
−Removed: program interfaces provide the instructions that are required to transfer information into and out of an application and trigger the
−Removed: specific characteristics of that application.
−Removed: These instructions are needed to create adapters between Gameface and third-party software
−Removed: products, but access to application program interfaces is controlled by the vendors of these applications.
−Removed: If the application vendor
−Removed: denies or delays our access to application program interfaces, our business may be harmed.
−Removed: Some application vendors may become competitors
−Removed: or establish alliances with our competitors, increasing the likelihood that we would not be granted access to their application program
−Removed: Furthermore, we may need to modify Gameface or develop new adapters in the future as new applications or newer versions of
−Removed: existing applications are introduced.
−Removed: If we fail to continue to develop adapters or respond to new applications or newer versions of
−Removed: existing applications in a timely manner, our business could suffer.
−Removed: Related to the Company’s Legal and Regulatory Requirements
−Removed: to adequately protect our intellectual property and curb the sale of counterfeit merchandise could injure our brand and negatively affect
−Removed: trademarks, copyrights, patents, designs and other intellectual property rights are important to our success and our competitive position.
−Removed: We devote significant resources to the registration and protection of our trademarks and patents.
−Removed: In spite of our efforts, counterfeiting
−Removed: and design copies may still occur.
−Removed: If we are unsuccessful in challenging the usurpation of these rights by third parties, this could
−Removed: adversely affect our future sales, financial condition and results of operations.
−Removed: Our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights
−Removed: can potentially be met with defenses and counterclaims attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights.
−Removed: Unplanned increases in legal fees and other costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights could result in higher
−Removed: operating expenses.
−Removed: Additionally, legal regimes outside the U.S., particularly those in Asia, including China, may not always protect
−Removed: intellectual property rights to the same degree as U.S.
−Removed: laws, or the time required to enforce our intellectual property rights under
−Removed: these legal regimes may be lengthy and delay our recovery.
−Removed: may become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by our employees, which could result
−Removed: in litigation and adversely affect our business.
−Removed: significant portion of our intellectual property has been developed by our employees, or outside consultants in the course of their employment
−Removed: or retention with us.
−Removed: Under the Israeli Patent Law, 5727-1967, or the Patent Law, inventions conceived by an employee during the scope
−Removed: of his or her employment with a company are regarded as “service inventions.” The Israeli Compensation and Royalties Committee,
−Removed: or the Committee, a body constituted under the Patent Law, has previously held, in certain cases, that employees may be entitled to remuneration
−Removed: for service inventions that they develop during their service for a company despite their explicit waiver of such right.
−Removed: Therefore, we
−Removed: may face claims by employees demanding remuneration beyond their regular salary and benefits.
−Removed: may be subject to product liability lawsuits or claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to
−Removed: successfully defend or insure against such claims.
−Removed: may be subject to product liability lawsuits and claims that, individually or in the aggregate, could harm our business, prospects, results
−Removed: of operations and financial condition.
−Removed: We may face lawsuits or claims if our products do not perform as expected, malfunction or are
−Removed: used without complying with their specifications.
−Removed: Moreover, a product liability lawsuit or claim, regardless of merit, could generate
−Removed: negative publicity about our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our brand, business, prospects, results of operations
−Removed: and financial condition.

−Removed: may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
−Removed: we provide products and services related to sports betting, our business may become subject to a variety of U.S.
−Removed: and foreign laws, many
−Removed: of which are unsettled and still developing and which could subject us to claims or otherwise harm our business.
−Removed: Any adverse change in
−Removed: regulations or their interpretation, or the regulatory climate applicable to these contemplated products and services, or changes in
−Removed: tax rules and regulations or interpretation thereof related to these contemplated products and services, could adversely impact our ability
−Removed: to operate our business as we seek to operate in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
−Removed: results of operations.
−Removed: business could potentially expand into sports betting, in which case our business partners are generally subject to laws and regulations
−Removed: in the jurisdictions in which we will conduct our business or in some circumstances, of those jurisdictions in which we offer our services
−Removed: or those are available, as well as the general laws and regulations that apply to all e-commerce businesses, such as those related to
−Removed: privacy and personal information, tax and consumer protection.
−Removed: These laws and regulations vary from one jurisdiction to another and future
−Removed: legislative and regulatory action, court decisions or other governmental action, which may be affected by, among other things, political
−Removed: pressures, attitudes and climates, as well as personal biases, may at such time have a material impact on our operations and financial
−Removed: results, or may prevent our business partners from expanding into such businesses entirely and thus, may have impact on our business.
−Removed: In addition, some jurisdictions in which we may operate could presently be unregulated or partially regulated and therefore more susceptible
−Removed: to the enactment or change of laws and regulations.
−Removed: a result of the foregoing, future legislative and regulatory action, and court decisions or other governmental action, may have a material
−Removed: impact on our business partners’ business and operations, and that may also have an impact on our operations and financial results.
−Removed: Governmental authorities could view us as having violated local laws, despite efforts to obtain all applicable licenses or approvals.
−Removed: There is also a risk that civil and criminal proceedings, including class actions brought by or on behalf of prosecutors or public entities
−Removed: or incumbent monopoly providers, or private individuals, could be initiated against our business partners, us, and others involved in
−Removed: the sports betting industry.
−Removed: Such potential proceedings could involve substantial litigation expense, penalties, fines, seizure of assets,
−Removed: injunctions or other restrictions being imposed upon us or our business partners.
−Removed: Such proceedings could have a material adverse effect
−Removed: on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as impact our reputation.
−Removed: there can be no assurance that legally enforceable legislation will not be proposed and passed in jurisdictions relevant or potentially
−Removed: relevant to our business to prohibit, legislate or regulate various aspects of the sports betting industry (or that existing laws in
−Removed: those jurisdictions will not be interpreted negatively).
−Removed: Compliance with any such legislation may have a material adverse effect on our
−Removed: business, financial condition and results of operations, either as a result of our determination not to offer products or services in
−Removed: a jurisdiction or to cease doing so, or because a local license or approval may be costly for us or our business partners to obtain and/or
−Removed: such licenses or approvals may contain other commercially undesirable conditions.

−Removed: If the advertiser doesn’t have proof that the endorser’s

+Added: the collection and processing of data in order to protect its security;
+Added: the Personal Information Protection Law, promulgated in 2021,
+Added: which integrates various scattered rules with respect to personal information rights and privacy protection;
+Added: the Rules on the Scope of
+Added: Necessary Personal Information for Common Types of Mobile Internet Applications, which came into effect in 2021 and prohibits the operators
+Added: of mobile apps from denying users access to the apps just because they do not consent to the collection of unnecessary personal information;

+Added: (See also the discussion of the Confidentiality and Archives Administration
+Added: Provisions, below.
+Added: do not believe YYEM is subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC, or to any of the other personal data-related laws and regulations
+Added: described above, since YYEM is a Hong Kong company without subsidiaries or operations in the PRC.
+Added: In addition, it does not currently
+Added: have, and does not anticipate that it will be collecting, over one million users’ personal information in the foreseeable future,
+Added: which might otherwise subject it to the Cybersecurity Review Measures.
+Added: YYEM has not received any notice from any authorities identifying
+Added: it as a CIIO or otherwise requiring it to undergo a cybersecurity review or network data security review by the CAC.
+Added: remains uncertainty as to how the Cybersecurity Review Measures and the Security Administration Draft will be interpreted or implemented
+Added: and whether the PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, may adopt new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation
+Added: related to the Cybersecurity Review Measures and the Security Administration Draft.

+Added: is no certainty as to how any review or other actions would impact YYEM’s operations, and we cannot guarantee that any clearance
+Added: could be obtained or maintained if approved.
+Added: the future, YYEM may be subject to PRC laws and regulations, including those regarding corporate structure, overseas listings, data-
+Added: and cybersecurity, and anti-monopoly concerns, which could result in a material negative impact on its operations and the value of the
+Added: securities we are registering for sale.
+Added: is incorporated and registered under the laws of Hong Kong.
+Added: YYEM does not have, nor does it intend to have, any subsidiary, VIE structure
+Added: or direct operations in mainland China.
+Added: All of YYEM’s revenue and profit is currently generated by operations in Hong Kong.
+Added: Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “Basic Law”) provides that PRC laws and regulations shall not
+Added: be applied in Hong Kong except for those listed in Annex III of the Basic Law, which is confined to laws relating to national defense,
+Added: foreign affairs, and other matters that are not within the scope of autonomy.
+Added: YYEM therefore is not directly subject to PRC laws and
+Added: regulations regarding the general conduct of its business or regarding overseas listings.
+Added: Nevertheless,
+Added: with its headquarters and substantial operations in Hong Kong, YYEM faces risks and uncertainties associated with the complex and evolving
+Added: PRC laws and regulations, including whether and how PRC government statements and regulatory developments, such as those relating to
+Added: corporate structure, overseas listings, data- and cybersecurity, and anti-monopoly concerns, would be applicable to Hong Kong companies
+Added: such as YYEM, and whether and when the Chinese government might exercise significant oversight over the conduct of business in Hong Kong.
+Added: If YYEM were to become subject to PRC laws and regulations, it could incur material costs to ensure compliance, and it might be subject
+Added: to fines, no longer be permitted to conduct offerings to foreign investors, or no longer be permitted to continue business operations
+Added: as presently conducted.
+Added: uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and the fact that rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance
+Added: notice, along with the risk that the Chinese government may intervene in or influence YYEM’s operations, could result in a material
+Added: change in its operations and the value of the securities we are registering, including the possibility that the value of such securities
+Added: could become worthless.
+Added: recent years, the PRC government initiated, with little advance notice, a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate certain
+Added: types of business operations in mainland China, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision
+Added: over mainland China-based companies listed overseas using a variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope
+Added: of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.
+Added: For example, the General Office of the Communist Party
+Added: of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued a document to crack down on illegal activities
+Added: in the securities market, requiring various governmental authorities to strengthen cross-border oversight of law-enforcement and judicial
+Added: cooperation, to enhance supervision over mainland China-based companies listed overseas, and to establish and improve the system of extraterritorial
+Added: application of the PRC securities laws.
+Added: The CAC also promulgated the various data security-related measures described above under “ Greater
+Added: oversight by the Cyberspace Administration of China over data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on a foreign exchange,
+Added: could adversely impact our business and our offering.
+Added: ” As explained above, we believe the Company and its subsidiaries are
+Added: not directly subject to the regulations and rules issued by CAC and other governmental agencies.
+Added: February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises
+Added: (the “New Overseas Listing Rules”) with five interpretive guidelines, which took effect on March 31, 2023.
+Added: The New Overseas
+Added: Listing Rules require Chinese domestic enterprises to complete filings with relevant governmental authorities and report related information
+Added: under certain circumstances.
+Added: The new rules provide that the determination as to whether a Chinese domestic company is indirectly offering
+Added: and listing securities on an overseas market shall be made on a substance-over-form basis, and if the issuer meets the following conditions,
+Added: the offering and listing will be deemed an indirect overseas offering and listing by a Chinese domestic company:
+Added: (i) the revenue, profit,
+Added: total assets or net assets of the Chinese domestic entity constitutes more than 50% of such item in the issuer’s audited consolidated
+Added: financial statements for the most recent fiscal year;
+Added: or (ii) the senior managers in charge of business operations and management of
+Added: the issuer are mostly Chinese citizens or with a regular domicile in China, the main locations of its business operations are in China,
+Added: or its main business activities are conducted in China.
+Added: YYEM is headquartered in Hong Kong, and at least 50% of its executive officers
+Added: and directors are based in Hong Kong and are not Chinese citizens.
+Added: Furthermore, all of its assets are located in Hong Kong and all of
+Added: its revenue and profit is generated from operations in Hong Kong.
+Added: We therefore believe that YYEM is not subject to the New Overseas Listing
+Added: February 24, 2023, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance, the National Administration of State Secrets Protection, and the National Archives
+Added: Administration released the Provisions on Strengthening the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Related to the Overseas Securities
+Added: Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions”), which took effect
+Added: on March 31, 2023.
+Added: PRC domestic enterprises seeking to offer securities and list in overseas markets, either directly or indirectly,
+Added: are required to establish and improve their confidentiality systems and archives work and to complete various approval and filing procedures
+Added: with competent authorities, if such PRC domestic enterprises or their overseas listing entities provide or publicly disclose documents
+Added: or materials involving state secrets and work secrets of state organs to relevant securities companies, securities service institutions,
+Added: overseas regulatory agencies, or other entities and individuals.
+Added: of the date of this Annual Report, these new laws and guidelines have not impacted YYEM’s ability to conduct its business.
+Added: headquartered in Hong Kong and does not have a VIE structure.
+Added: YYEM is not a cyberspace operator with personal information of more than
+Added: 1 million users or activities that affect or may affect the national security of China, and it does not possess documents and materials
+Added: likely to affect the national security or public interest of China.
+Added: However, any change in foreign investment regulations or other policies
+Added: in China, or related enforcement actions by the PRC government, could result in a material change in YYEM’s operations and the
+Added: value of our Common Stock and could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer our Common Stock to investors or cause
+Added: the value of our Common Stock to significantly decline or be worthless.
+Added: are subject to risks relating to economic, political, legal, and social conditions in Hong Kong.
+Added: though much of YYEM’s revenue is derived from licensees outside Hong Kong, any adverse changes in the economic, political, legal,
+Added: and social conditions of Hong Kong could lead to an adverse impact on the demand for YYEM’s services and result in deteriorating
+Added: financial performance of the Company.
+Added: cannot assure you that there will not be any political movements or large-scale political unrest in Hong Kong that could adversely impact
+Added: If such unrest or movement persists for a substantial period of time, it may lead to disruption of the general economic,
+Added: political, and social conditions in Hong Kong, and YYEM’s overall business, results of operations, and financial condition may
+Added: be adversely affected.
+Added: Law of the PRC on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “Hong Kong National Security
+Added: Law”) could impact YYEM’s operations in Hong Kong.
+Added: June 30, 2020, the Standing Committee of the PRC National People’s Congress adopted the Hong Kong National Security Law.
+Added: defines the duties of the government bodies responsible for safeguarding national security and specifies four categories of offences
+Added: - secession, subversion, terrorist activities, and collusion with a foreign country or external elements to endanger national security
+Added: - and their corresponding penalties.
+Added: On July 14, 2020, the U.S.
+Added: President signed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act (the “HKAA”),
+Added: into law, authorizing the U.S.
+Added: administration to impose blocking sanctions against individuals and entities who are determined to have
+Added: materially contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy.
+Added: On August 7, 2020, the U.S.
+Added: government imposed HKAA-authorized sanctions
+Added: on eleven individuals, including the then Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam and the current Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee.
+Added: October 14, 2020, the U.S.
+Added: State Department submitted to relevant committees of Congress the report required under the HKAA, identifying
+Added: persons materially contributing to “the failure of the Government of China to meet its obligations under the Joint Declaration
+Added: or the Basic Law.” The HKAA further authorizes secondary sanctions, including the imposition of blocking sanctions, against foreign
+Added: financial institutions that knowingly conduct a significant transaction with a foreign person sanctioned under this authority.
+Added: The imposition
+Added: of sanctions may directly affect foreign financial institutions as well as any third parties or customers dealing with any foreign financial
+Added: institution that is targeted.
+Added: The ramifications of the Hong Kong National Security Law and the HKAA are still unfolding, and it is therefore
+Added: difficult to predict the full impact on Hong Kong and companies located in Hong Kong.
+Added: If YYEM is accused of violating the Hong Kong National
+Added: Security Law or the HKAA by competent authorities, its business operations, financial position, and results of operations could be materially
+Added: and adversely affected.
