The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (“ COVID-19 ”), which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in 2020, and the related responses by public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat its outbreak and severely impacted the U.S. and world economies in 2022 and 2021, with global economic activity returning to pre-COVID-19 levels, and continuing to increase in 2022.
Added
We believe that we have sufficient cash on hand, and the ability to raise additional funding, or borrow additional funding, as needed, to support our operations for the foreseeable future, except that we anticipate the need to raise funding to complete the Purchase of the Meridian Companies, as discussed in greater detail below under “ Item 7.
Removed
Demand for our products and services was not impacted by COVID-19; however, the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, as well as user engagement continues to remain uncertain.
Added
It is also not possible to predict with certainty this ongoing conflict’s additional adverse effects on existing macroeconomic conditions, consumer spending habits, currency exchange rates, and financial markets, all of which have impacted and could further impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. 34 Table of Contents On October 8, 2023, Israel declared war following its bombardment by the militant Gaza-based group Hamas.
Removed
The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on our business, and we expect our business to be resilient through the pandemic. We have continued operations, supported our online products and customers, and grown our sales, and our employees and consultants have returned to the office in June 2022.
Added
As a result, the global markets are experiencing higher prices for oil and gold and, a stronger U.S. dollar and the decline of airline stocks have been some of the immediate financial effects of this conflict, which has the potential to destabilize the Middle East region.
Removed
The future impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations cannot be accurately predicted.
Added
The tragic loss of life and the risks to peace in Israel, Gaza, and the rest of the region is clearly the foremost concern. However, the repercussions of the crisis are dependent on the extent and duration of the fighting, associated geopolitical tension, and the possible occurrence of terrorist attacks.
Removed
The pandemic is continuing to develop rapidly and the full extent to which COVID-19 will ultimately impact us depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the virus, virus mutations and variants, the availability and efficacy of vaccines and boosters, and the willingness of individuals to continue to obtain vaccines and boosters, as well as potential seasonality of new outbreaks.
Added
While the overall reaction of the financial markets has been relatively muted so far, the risks of an intensification and broadening of the conflict are material, and their fallout could be severe, especially for countries in the region.
Removed
As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there is substantial uncertainty about the strength of the global, Asia Pacific and UK economies, which may currently or in the near term be in a recession and have experienced rapid increases in uncertainty about the pace of potential recovery.
Added
We do not have direct or indirect business operations, interest or investments in Israel or Gaza or business relationships with companies that do and, therefore, we do not have exposure to material impacts or risks of potential future impact related to the war between Israel and Hamas.

Removed
We have no commitments for any financing and any financing may result in dilution to our existing shareholders. We may have difficulty obtaining additional funding, and we may have to accept terms that would adversely affect our shareholders.
Removed
For example, the terms of any future financings may impose restrictions on our right to declare dividends or on the manner in which we conduct our business. Additionally, we may raise funding by issuing convertible notes, which if converted into shares of our common stock would dilute our then shareholders’ interests.
Removed
Lending institutions or private investors may impose restrictions on a future decision by us to make capital expenditures, acquisitions, or significant asset sales. If we are unable to raise additional funds, we may be forced to curtail or even abandon our business plan. Because we have a limited operating history our future operations may not result in profitable operations.
Removed
Although the Company has generated net income of $648,072, $345,922, $398,080, and $1,982,892 for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, and the twelve months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company had a loss of $250,038 for the twelve months ended October 31, 2022.
Removed
We don’t have a significant operating history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we may not be able to maintain profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

Removed
The increase of total revenue can be attributed to the increasing registered end-users from our third-party customers and the new revenue stream from RKings starting in fiscal 2022.

Risks Related to Our Business Operations and Industry The Company’s planned Player2P gaming product is currently on hold and we may not move forward with such gaming product. The Company has developed its own proprietary Peer-to-Peer E-sports gaming product.
Removed
The launch of the Peer-to-Peer gaming product is on hold until further notice, so that the Company can focus on other projects. This product, if released, will be marketed as the Player2P Platform (“Player2P”). The Player2P brand, if released, be focused solely on esports gambling and 18+ gaming (i.e., gaming by those 18 years of age and older).
Removed
In the event we decide to move forward with the launch of Player2P, Player2P may not receive regulatory approvals, we may be unable to launch Player2P in the U.S. or other jurisdictions, or such launch might be impractical, which would ultimately cause such product not to be successful.
Removed
In the event we choose not to launch Player2P, the funds used by the Company to develop such game may be lost, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and/or prospects, and ultimately the value of our securities. 36 Table of Contents Our ongoing investment in new products, services, and technologies is inherently risky, and could divert management attention and harm our financial condition and operating results.
Removed
We have invested and expect to continue to invest in new products, services, and technologies, such as our Player2P product discussed above, the launch of which is currently on hold indefinitely. Such investments ultimately may not be commercially viable or may not result in an adequate return of capital and, in pursuing new strategies, we may incur unanticipated liabilities.
Removed
These endeavors may involve significant risks and uncertainties, including diversion of resources and management attention from current operations. In addition, new and evolving products and services, raise technological, legal, regulatory, and other challenges, which may negatively affect our brand and demand for our products and services.
Removed
Because all of these new ventures are inherently risky, no assurance can be given that such strategies and offerings will be successful and will not harm our reputation, financial condition, and operating results.
Removed
We operate in a rapidly evolving industry and if we fail to successfully develop, market or sell new products or adopt new technology, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Removed
Our software products compete in a market characterized by rapid technological advances, evolving standards in software technology and frequent new product introductions and enhancements that may render existing products and services obsolete. Competitors are continuously upgrading their product offerings with new features, functions and content.
Removed
In addition, we attempt to continuously refine our software and technology offerings to address regulatory changes in the markets in which we operate and plan to operate. In order to remain competitive, we will need to continuously modify and enhance our technology platform and service offerings. We may not be able to respond to rapid technological changes in our industry.
Removed
In addition, the introduction of new products or updated versions of existing products has inherent risks, including, but not limited to, risks concerning: ● product quality, including the possibility of software defects, which could result in claims against us or the inability to sell our products; ● the accuracy of our estimates of customer demand, and the fit of the new products and features with a customer’s needs; ● the need to educate our personnel to work with the new products and features, which may strain our resources and lengthen sales; ● market acceptance of initial product releases; and ● competitor product introductions or regulatory changes that render our new products obsolete.
Removed
We cannot assure you that we will be successful in creating new technology for our products in the future. We may encounter errors resulting from a significant rewrite of the software code.
Removed
In addition, as we transition to newer technology platforms for our products, our customers may encounter difficulties in the upgrade process, which could cause them to lose revenue or review their alternatives with a competing supplier. Developing, enhancing and localizing software is expensive, and the investment in product development may involve a long payback cycle.
Removed
Our future plans include additional investments in development of our software and other intellectual property. We believe that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to our development efforts to maintain our competitive position. However, we may not receive significant revenue from these investments for several years, if at all.
Removed
In addition, as we or our competitors introduce new or enhanced products, the demand for our products, particularly older versions of our products may decline.
Removed
A significant amount of our revenues come from a limited number of customers for the resale of our gaming content, and if we were to lose any of those customers, our results of operations could be adversely affected. At the present time, we are dependent on a limited number of customers for the resale of our gaming content.
Removed
The Company’s major revenues of reselling for the year ended October 31, 2022, were from four customers.
Removed
As a result, in the event such customers do not pay us amounts owed, terminate work in progress, or we are unable to find new customers moving forward, it could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations and could force us to curtail or abandon our current business operations. 37 Table of Contents If we are not able to compete effectively against companies with greater resources, our prospects for future success will be jeopardized.
Removed
The gaming platforms, systems and gaming content industries are highly competitive. We compete with numerous local competitors for such services. Many of our competitors are larger, more established companies with greater resources to devote to marketing, as well as greater brand recognition.
Removed
Moreover, if one or more of our competitors or suppliers were to merge, the change in the competitive landscape could adversely affect our competitive position. Additionally, to the extent that competition in our markets intensifies, we may be required to reduce our prices in order to remain competitive.
Removed
If we do not compete effectively, or if we reduce our prices without making commensurate reductions in our costs, our net sales, margins, and profitability and our future prospects for success may be harmed. Changes in ownership of competitors or consolidations within the gaming industry may negatively impact pricing and lead to downward pricing pressures which could reduce revenue.
Removed
A decline in demand for our products in the gaming industry could adversely affect our business. Demand for our products is driven primarily by the replacement of existing services as well as the expansion of existing online gaming, and the expansion of new channels of distribution, such as mobile gaming.
Removed
Additionally, consolidation within the online gambling market could result in us facing competition from larger combined entities, which may benefit from greater resources and economies of scale.
Removed
Also, any fragmentation within the industry creating a number of smaller, independent operators with fewer resources could also adversely affect our business as these operators might cause a further slowdown in the replacement cycle for our products.
Removed
In the past we have been affected by, and in the future, we may be affected by, unauthorized transfers, withdrawals, wires, checks and payments, from our bank accounts. In August 2021, we first became aware of certain Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers that were erroneously posted to the Company’s bank account.
Removed
The Company first notified Citibank of ACH transfers that were erroneously posted to the account. Overall, $729,505 of ACH transactions had posted to the Company’s accounts that were not authorized.
Removed
Citibank immediately recognized that it was an error under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act of 1978 (EFTA) and proceeded to immediately replenish $392,921 of the unauthorized ACH transactions which resulted in a receivable due from Citibank of $336,584 as of October 31, 2021.
Removed
Through October 31, 2022, an additional $269,086 was replenished by Citibank which resulted in a balance due from Citibank of $67,498. On November 25, 2022, an additional $21,003 was replenished by Citibank.
Removed
While these unauthorized transfers were for the most part remedied quickly, and we believe that our liability and exposure to such transfers is minimal as a result of the EFTA, future unauthorized transfers, withdrawals, wires, checks and payments, from our bank accounts could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and results of operations and result in material losses.
Removed
The risk of such losses and unauthorized transactions may also be exacerbated by potential ineffective controls and procedures relating to the safeguarding of our account information. The online gaming industry is highly competitive, and if we fail to compete effectively, we could experience price reductions, reduced margins or loss of revenues. The online gaming industry is highly competitive.
Removed
A number of companies offer products that are similar to our products and target the same markets as we do. Certain of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources, greater name recognition, broader or more integrated product offerings, larger technical staffs and a larger installed customer base than we do.
Removed
These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements, develop superior products, and devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can. 38 Table of Contents Because of the rapid growth of our industry, and the relatively low capital barriers to entry in the software industry, we expect additional competition from other established and emerging companies.

Biggest changeCertain warrants we have granted include anti-dilutive rights In connection with our October 2021 placement of common stock and warrants, we granted the investors in the offering warrants to purchase 496,429 shares of common stock, which have a term of three years (through October 28, 2024), and an exercise price of $8.63 per share (subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, dividends and recapitalizations).
The Warrants also include anti-dilution rights, which provide that if at any time the Warrants are outstanding, we issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) or are deemed to have issued (which includes shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and options and conversion of convertible securities) any common stock or common stock equivalents for consideration less than the then current exercise price of the Warrants, the exercise price of such Warrants will be automatically reduced to the lowest price per share of consideration provided or deemed to have been provided for such securities, subject to certain exceptions.
Additionally, the exercise price of the warrants include anti-dilution rights, which provide that if at any time the warrants are outstanding, we issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) or are deemed to have issued (which includes shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and options and conversion of convertible securities) any common stock or common stock equivalents for consideration less than the then current exercise price of the warrants, the exercise price of such warrants will be automatically reduced to the lowest price per share of consideration provided or deemed to have been provided for such securities.
The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then stockholders. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
If debt financing is available and obtained, our interest expense may increase and we may be subject to the risk of default, depending on the terms of such financing. If equity financing is available and obtained it may result in our shareholders experiencing significant dilution.

Added
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Cash Requirements ”. We have no commitments for any financing and any financing may result in dilution to our existing shareholders. We may have difficulty obtaining additional funding, and we may have to accept terms that would adversely affect our shareholders.
Removed
This discussion contains forward-looking statements based on the views and beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions and estimates made by our management. These statements by their nature are subject to risks and uncertainties, and are influenced by various factors. As a consequence, actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. See “Item 1A.
Added
For example, the terms of any future financings may impose restrictions on our right to declare dividends or on the manner in which we conduct our business. Additionally, we may raise funding by issuing convertible notes, which if converted into shares of our common stock would dilute our then shareholders’ interests.
Removed
Risk Factors” of this Report for the discussion of risk factors and see “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for information on the forward-looking statements included below.
Added
Lending institutions or private investors may impose restrictions on a future decision by us to make capital expenditures, acquisitions, or significant asset sales. If we are unable to raise additional funds, we may be forced to curtail or even abandon our business plan. Because we have a limited operating history our future operations may not result in profitable operations.
Removed
Summary of Information Contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is provided in addition to the accompanying audited financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
Added
The Company has generated net losses of $(1,172,750) and $(250,038), for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Additionally, we don’t have a significant operating history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we may not be able to maintain profitable operations.
Removed
MD&A is organized as follows: ● Overview . Discussion of our business and overall analysis of financial and other highlights affecting us, to provide context for the remainder of MD&A. ● Results of Operations .
Added
If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail. Revenues from related party were $662,532 and $862,373 for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Revenues from third parties were $43,511,520 and $35,172,483 for the twelve months ended October 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Removed
An analysis of our financial results comparing the twelve month periods ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 and the twelve months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020. ● Liquidity and Capital Resources .
Added
The increase in total revenues from 2022 to 2023 is attributable to the increased earnings from RKings and GMG Assets. Although we have generated net income in previous years, we have not generated net income in our most recent years, and we may not generate profitable operations in the future to ensure our continued growth.

Risks Related to Our Business Operations and Industry The Company’s planned Player2P gaming product is currently on hold and we may never move forward with such gaming product. The Company has developed its own proprietary Peer-to-Peer E-sports gaming product.
Removed
Overview We derive revenues primarily from (1) licensing fees received from gaming operators located in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region that utilize the Company’s technology, and (2) selling prize competitions directly to customers for prizes throughout the United Kingdom (UK).
Added
However, the launch of the Peer-to-Peer gaming product is currently on hold until further notice, so that the Company can focus on other projects. This product, if released, will be marketed as the Player2P Platform (“Player2P”).
Removed
As to licensing fees, the Company’s goal is to expand our customer base globally and to integrate additional operators, launch additional synergistic products and appoint more distributors. Currently the Company has more than 7.1 million registered users across all gaming operators that utilize the Company’s technology and is currently integrating additional operators to expand this usage.
Added
The Player2P brand, if released, will be focused solely on esports gambling and 18+ gaming (i.e., gaming by those 18 years of age and older).
Removed
As to prize competitions tickets, the Company’s goal is to expand and complete its marketing efforts throughout the UK and then expand the platform to other countries throughout Europe and Latin America that allow the selling of prize competition tickets.
Added
In the event we decide to move forward with the launch of Player2P, we may not receive regulatory approvals, we may be unable to launch Player2P in the U.S. or other jurisdictions, or such launch might be impractical, which would ultimately cause such product not to be successful.
Removed
As to our Online Casino in Mexico, these operations commenced in November 2022 (post October 31, 2022 year-end) and the Company’s goals are to penetrate the Mexican market with a competitive website that provides users with an online casino site Mexplay ( www.mexplay.mx ), that features an extensive number of table games, slots, as well as a sportsbook, and offers tournament competition prizes similar to those offered by RKings.
Added
In the event we choose not to launch Player2P, the funds used by the Company to develop such game may be lost, which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and/or prospects, and ultimately the value of our securities. 36 Table of Contents Our ongoing investment in new products, services, and technologies is inherently risky, and could divert management attention and harm our financial condition and operating results.
Removed
Once the site is optimized, the Company’s goal is to expand its marketing efforts throughout Mexico and scale the site and its functions to other Latin American countries. 74 Table of Contents Our financial focus is on long-term, sustainable growth in revenue with the goal of marginal increases in expenses. The Company’s activity is highly scalable.
Added
We have invested and expect to continue to invest in new products, services, and technologies, such as our Player2P product discussed above, the launch of which is currently on hold indefinitely. Such investments ultimately may not be commercially viable or may not result in an adequate return of capital and, in pursuing new strategies, we may incur unanticipated liabilities.
Removed
We are highly encouraged by recent revenue growth, clearly demonstrating the acceptance and reputation of the Company’s GM-X System and its gaming content. We plan to continuously add new products to our offerings and anticipate revenue growth assuming we are successful therewith. The Company has generated positive cash flows from operating since 2018.
Added
These endeavors may involve significant risks and uncertainties, including diversion of resources and management attention from current operations. In addition, new and evolving products and services raise technological, legal, regulatory, and other challenges, which may negatively affect our brand and the demand for our products and services.
Removed
The Company is self-sustaining, and its cash needs are met through current operations; as of October 31, 2022, the cash balance was $14,949,673.
Added
Because all of these new ventures are inherently risky, no assurance can be given that such strategies and offerings will be successful and will not harm our reputation, financial condition, and operating results.
Removed
We believe that the cash generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next 12 months and beyond, including investments made and expenses incurred in connection with system development, marketing initiatives, and inventory purchase.
Added
We operate in a rapidly evolving industry and if we fail to successfully develop, market or sell new products or adopt new technology, it could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Removed
As previously noted, the Company is self-sustaining through its operations and therefore is not considering additional sources of liquidity; however, the Company may consider raising funds through debt, private placements, or additional public offerings for expansion of operations or synergetic acquisitions if additional external funds are sought.
Added
Our software products compete in a market characterized by rapid technological advances, evolving standards in software technology and frequent new product introductions and enhancements that may render existing products and services obsolete. Competitors are continuously upgrading their product offerings with new features, functions and content.
Removed
Unused sources of liquid assets, as of October 31, 2022, mainly included cash of $14,949,673, receivables (including receivables from related party) of $3,054,737 and inventory of $1,147,591, with offsetting liabilities of $2,774,932.
Added
In addition, we attempt to continuously refine our software and technology offerings to address regulatory changes in the markets in which we operate and plan to operate. In order to remain competitive, we will need to continuously modify and enhance our technology platform and service offerings. We may not be able to respond to rapid technological changes in our industry.
Removed
The Company does not have material cash requirements other than a possible payment of approximately $573,197 (GBP 500,000) in connection with the acquisition of RKings, which payment is currently subject to ongoing claims.
Added
In addition, the introduction of new products or updated versions of existing products has inherent risks, including, but not limited to, risks concerning: ● product quality, including the possibility of software defects, which could result in claims against us or the inability to sell our products; ● the accuracy of our estimates of customer demand, and the fit of the new products and features with a customer’s needs; ● the need to educate our personnel to work with the new products and features, which may strain our resources and lengthen sales; ● market acceptance of initial product releases; and ● competitor product introductions or regulatory changes that render our new products obsolete.
Removed
EBITDA – Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation Amortization In addition to our results calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we also present EBITDA below. EBITDA is a “non-GAAP financial measure” presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s performance. It is not presented in accordance with GAAP.
Added
We cannot assure you that we will be successful in creating new technology for our products in the future. We may encounter errors resulting from a significant rewrite of the software code.
Removed
The Company uses EBITDA as a metric of profits and successful operations management. In particular, we use EBITDA in the incentive compensation programs applicable to some of our officers and directors in order to evaluate our company’s performance and determine whether certain restricted stock units vest as of the end of October 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Added
In addition, as we transition to newer technology platforms for our products, our customers may encounter difficulties in the upgrade process, which could cause them to lose revenue or review their alternatives with a competing supplier. Developing, enhancing and localizing software is expensive, and the investment in product development may involve a long payback cycle.
Removed
EBITDA means net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. EBITDA should be viewed as supplemental to, and not as an alternative for net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA is presented because we believe it provides additional useful information to investors due to the various noncash items during the period.
Added
Our future plans include additional investments in development of our software and other intellectual property. We believe that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to our development efforts to maintain our competitive position. However, we may not receive significant revenue from these investments for several years, if at all.
Removed
EBITDA is also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. EBITDA is unaudited, and has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP.
Added
In addition, as we or our competitors introduce new or enhanced products, the demand for our products, particularly older versions of our products, may decline.
Removed
Some of these limitations are: EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future or contractual commitments; EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, capital expenditures or working capital needs; EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments; although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
Added
A significant amount of our revenues come from a limited number of customers for the resale of our gaming content, and if we were to lose any of those customers, our results of operations could be adversely affected. At the present time, we are dependent on a limited number of customers for the resale of our gaming content.
Removed
In addition, other companies in this industry may calculate EBITDA differently than the Company does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. The Company’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
Added
The Company’s major revenues of reselling for the year ended October 31, 2023, were from twenty-three customers.
Removed
We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure, below.
Added
As a result, in the event such customers do not pay us amounts owed, terminate work in progress, or we are unable to find new customers moving forward, it could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations and could force us to curtail or abandon our current business operations. 37 Table of Contents If we are not able to compete effectively against companies with greater resources, our prospects for future success will be jeopardized.
Removed
We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. 75 Table of Contents Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income: Twelve Months Period Ended October 31, 2022 Net Income $ 44,028 + Interest expense - - Interest income 9,190 + Taxes 419,049 + Depreciation 22,847 + Amortization 384,588 + Stock based compensation 2,665,221 EBITDA $ 3,526,543 Results of Operations Revenues The Company currently has three distinctive revenue streams.
Added
The gaming platforms, systems and gaming content industries are highly competitive. We compete with numerous local competitors for such services. Many of our competitors are larger, more established companies with greater resources to devote to marketing, as well as greater brand recognition.
Removed
In the B2B segment there are two revenue streams (i) charges for usage of the Company’s software, and (ii) a royalty charged on the use of third-party gaming content. In the B2C segment, the revenue stream is related to the prize competition tickets sold to enter prize competitions in the UK through RKings. B2B segment, revenue descriptions: (i).
Added
Moreover, if one or more of our competitors or suppliers were to merge, the change in the competitive landscape could adversely affect our competitive position. Additionally, to the extent that competition in our markets intensifies, we may be required to reduce our prices in order to remain competitive.
Removed
The Company charges gaming operators for the use of its unique intellectual property (IP) and technology systems. Revenues derived from such charges were based on the usage of the systems by the clients.
Added
If we do not compete effectively, or if we reduce our prices without making commensurate reductions in our costs, our net sales, margins, and profitability and our future prospects for success may be harmed. Changes in ownership of competitors or consolidations within the gaming industry may negatively impact pricing and lead to downward pricing pressures which could reduce revenue.
Removed
Total revenues recognized from the usage of our Gaming IP and technology systems for the twelve months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, and the twelve months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 are shown in the following table: Twelve Months Ended Twelve Months Ended Nine Months Ended Nine Months Ended Twelve Months Ended Twelve Months Ended October 31 October 31 October 31 October 31 January 31 January 31 2022 2021 2021 2020 2021 2020 (unaudited) (unaudited) (unaudited) Related party $ 862,373 $ 2,140,266 $ 1,525,091 $ 1,633,702 $ 2,248,877 $ 2,167,773 Third party 9,693 266,008 112,182 441,994 595,819 1,120,802 Total $ 872,066 $ 2,406,274 $ 1,637,273 $ 2,075,696 $ 2,844,696 $ 3,288,575 The decrease in revenues, regarding the usage of our Gaming IP and technology systems, in the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2022, compared to the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2021, as well as in the nine-month transition period ended October 31, 2021, compared to the nine-month period ended October 31, 2020, is due to the Company’s shift in focus to appointing resellers of its product and services.
Added
A decline in demand for our products in the gaming industry could adversely affect our business. Demand for our products is driven primarily by the replacement of existing services as well as the expansion of existing online gaming, and the expansion of new channels of distribution, such as mobile gaming.
Removed
A portion of the decrease in revenues by third-party clients can be attributed to the loss of certain major operators from our third-party customers which is being phased out. 76 Table of Contents The decrease in revenues in the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2021, compared to the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2020, is due to a marginal decrease in revenues from our third-party customers and can be attributed to the reduced performance of certain operators.
Added
Additionally, consolidation within the online gambling market could result in us facing competition from larger combined entities, which may benefit from greater resources and economies of scale.
Removed
(ii) Since June 2020, the Company has contracted with certain clients to offer third party gaming content and as such become a reseller of this gaming content. The Company acquires the third-party gaming content for a fixed cost and resells the content at a margin.
Added
Also, any fragmentation within the industry creating a number of smaller, independent operators with fewer resources could also adversely affect our business as these operators might cause a further slowdown in the replacement cycle for our products.
Removed
Revenues derived from the reselling of gaming content during the twelve-months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021, nine-months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, and the twelve-months ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, are shown in the following table: Twelve Months Ended Twelve Months Ended Nine Months Ended Nine Months Ended Twelve Months Ended Twelve Months Ended October 31 October 31 October 31 October 31 January 31 January 31 2022 2021 2021 2020 2021 2020 (unaudited) (unaudited) (unaudited) Revenues from reselling of gaming content $ 13,976,193 $ 8,879,457 $ 7,696,219 $ 1,195,957 $ 2,378,363 $ - The increase in this category of revenues is due to the Company’s shift in focus to appoint resellers for its products and services.
Added
In the past we have been affected by, and in the future, we may be affected by, unauthorized transfers, withdrawals, wires, checks and payments, from our bank accounts. In August 2021, we first became aware of certain Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers that were erroneously posted to the Company’s bank account.
Removed
The Company believes its strategy to appoint resellers will allow the Company to scale its distribution more efficiently and broaden its global reach. The Company is seeking to engage additional resellers, increase its number of operators, and broaden its global market.
Added
The Company first notified Citibank of ACH transfers that were erroneously posted to the account. Overall, $729,505 of ACH transactions had posted to the Company’s accounts that were not authorized.
Removed
We believe that this is also now achievable via the Company’s GM-Ag system that is more suitable for Latin American and European markets. The Company believes that there is a significant opportunity to scale this revenue stream with low related expenses and no capital expenditures and also to expand its global reach.
Added
Citibank immediately recognized that it was an error under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act of 1978 (EFTA) and proceeded to immediately replenish $392,921 of the unauthorized ACH transactions which resulted in a receivable due from Citibank of $336,584 as of October 31, 2021.
Removed
We believe the revenue stream is highly scalable i.e., the running and support costs relative to the incremental revenues are low and will reduce exponentially as a percentage of revenues as revenues grow. The Company has been striving to roll out this new product offering to its existing client base and expects to scale up its revenues as a result.
Added
Through October 31, 2022, an additional $269,086 was replenished by Citibank which resulted in a balance due from Citibank of $67,498. Through October 31, 2023, an additional $21,003 was replenished by Citibank which resulted in a balance due from Citibank of $46,495.
Removed
B2C segment, revenue description: Since the acquisition of 80% of RKings effective November 1, 2021 and the acquisition of GMG Assets on August 1, 2022, the Company generates revenues from sales of prize competitions tickets directly to customers for prizes throughout the United Kingdom ranging from automobiles to jewelry as well as travel and entertainment experiences.
Added
On November 27, 2023, an additional $26,003 was replenished by Citibank, leaving $20,492 due as of the date of this Report.
Removed
During the twelve months ended October 31, 2022, $21,186,597 of total revenues were derived from prize competitions ticket sales. Included in this amount are $1,024,268 of revenues, since August 1, 2022, from the purchase and sale of prizes the winners opted to receive the cash value of instead of the prize.
Added
While these unauthorized transfers were for the most part remedied quickly, and we believe that our liability and exposure to such transfers is minimal as a result of the EFTA, future unauthorized transfers, withdrawals, wires, checks and payments, from our bank accounts could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and results of operations and result in material losses.
Removed
The Company did not have revenues from the sales of prize competitions tickets prior to November 1, 2021, as it acquired 80% of RKings effective on November 1, 2021 and as discussed above under “Item 1. Business”, the Company acquired 100% of RKings on November 30, 2022, effective as of November 4, 2022.
Added
The risk of such losses and unauthorized transactions may also be exacerbated by potential ineffective controls and procedures relating to the safeguarding of our account information. The online gaming industry is highly competitive, and if we fail to compete effectively, we could experience price reductions, reduced margins or loss of revenues. The online gaming industry is highly competitive.
Removed
Total revenues for the twelve months ended October 31, 2022 and 2021 were $36,034,856 and $11,285,731, respectively. Costs of goods sold The Company currently has three distinctive sources of cost of goods sold. Two (i.e., (i) and (ii)) are related to the B2B segment and the third is related to the B2C segment.
