On April 22, 2022, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Evasyst Inc.

The Secured Note Transaction

On February 15, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Mercer Street Global Opportunity Fund LLC ("Mercer") pursuant to which we agreed to sell to Mercer, for gross proceeds of up to $2,500,000, Original Issue Discount Senior Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Secured Notes") having an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,700,000 and warrants (the "Secured Note Warrants") to purchase up to 5,955,882 shares of the Company's common stock  in two tranches (the "Secured Note Transaction"). 

Upon signing the Purchase Agreement, for gross proceeds of $1,500,000 we issued Secured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,620,000 (the "First Secured Notes") and Secured Note Warrants to purchase up to 3,573,529 shares of Common Stock (the "First Secured Note Warrants"). 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, for gross proceeds of $1,000,000 the Company and Mercer may close a second tranche for an additional Secured Note having an aggregate principal amount of $1,080,000 (the "Second Secured Note") and additional Secured Note Warrants to purchase up to 2,382,353 shares of Common Stock (the "Second Secured Note Warrants"). There is no assurance that a second tranche will be completed or that the Second Secured Note and the Second Secured Note Warrants will be sold under the Purchase Agreement.

The Secured Notes mature 24 months after issuance, bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.34 per share, subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, stock combinations and dilutive share issuances.  We may prepay the Secured Notes (i) at any time during the first 90 days following closing at the face value of the Secured Notes, (ii) at any time during the period from 91 to 180 days following closing at a premium of 110% of the face value of the Secured Notes, and (iii) thereafter at 120% of the face value of the Secured Notes. The Secured Notes contain a number of customary events of default. Additionally, the Secured Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company, including a lien on and security interest in all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, pursuant to a security agreement that was entered into in connection with the issuance of the Secured Notes (the "Security Agreement").


The Secured Note Warrants are exercisable at an initial exercise price of $0.60 per share for a term ending on the 5 year anniversary of the date of issuance.  The exercise price of the Secured Note Warrants are subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, stock combinations and dilutive share issuances.

In connection with the Secured Note Transaction, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Agreement") with Mercer, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file a registration statement (a "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Secured Notes and exercise of the Secured Note Warrants. 

In connection with the Secured Note Transaction, the Company paid to Carter, Terry and Company ("Carter Terry") a cash fee of $120,000 and issued to Carter Terry, and registered brokers employed by Carter Terry, an aggregate of 221,402 shares of Common Stock at a deemed price of $0.281 per share.  If a second tranche is completed under the Purchase Agreement, Carter Terry will be entitled to a further cash fee equal to 8% of the funds raised in the second tranche, plus shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to 4% of the funds raised in the second tranche divided by the last closing price of the Common Stock prior to closing of the second tranche. 

March 2022 Private Placement

On March 28, 2022, for gross proceeds of $886,000, the Company issued Original Issue Discount Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Unsecured Notes") having an original principal amount equal to $956,880 and warrants (the "Unsecured Note Warrants") to purchase up to 2,110,763 shares of Common Stock (the "March Private Placement"). 

The Unsecured Notes are unsecured, mature 24 months after issuance, bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.34 per share, subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, stock combinations and dilutive share issuances.  The Company may prepay the Unsecured Notes (i) at any time during the first 90 days following closing at the face value of the Unsecured Notes, (ii) at any time during the period from 91 to 180 days following closing at a premium of 110% of the face value of the Unsecured Notes, and (iii) thereafter at 120% of the face value of the Unsecured Notes. The Unsecured Notes contain a number of customary events of default.

The Unsecured Note Warrants are exercisable at an initial exercise price of $0.60 per share for a term ending on the 5 year anniversary of the date of issuance.  The exercise price of the Unsecured Note Warrants are subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, stock combinations and dilutive share issuances.

The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Unsecured Notes and the Unsecured Note Warrants are not being registered under this Prospectus.

Risk Factors

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk.  Only those investors who are able to bear the loss of their investment should consider investing in our Common Stock. Below is a summary of material factors that make an investment in our securities speculative or risky. Importantly, this summary does not address all of the risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional discussion of the risks and uncertainties summarized in this risk factor summary, as well as other risks and uncertainties that we face, can be found under the section titled "Risk Factors" in this prospectus and in our periodic reports incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The below summary is qualified in its entirety by that more complete discussion of such risks and uncertainties. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the section of this prospectus titled "Risk Factors" as well as those risk factors contained in our periodic reports filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference in this prospectus as part of your evaluation of an investment in our securities:

  • We have a history of losses and we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability in the future.
  • If consumers fail to adopt our software applications, our ability to grow our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
  • Competition from existing or new companies could affect our ability to attract users to our software applications.
  • If our software applications fail or are perceived to fail or have or are perceived to have defects, errors, or vulnerabilities, our brand and reputation would be harmed, which would adversely affect our business and results of operations.
  • We rely on third-party data centers to host and operate our platform, and any disruption of or interference with its use of these facilities may negatively affect our ability to maintain the performance and reliability of our platform, which could cause our business to suffer.

  • Our future success will be substantially dependent on our ability to attract, retain, and motivate the members of our management team and other key employees throughout our organization, and the loss of one or more key employees or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees could harm our business.
  • If we are unable to maintain successful relationships with our distribution partners, or if our distribution partners fail to perform, our ability to market, sell and distribute our platform and solutions efficiently will be limited, and our business, financial position and results of operations will be harmed.
  • The success of our business will depend in part on our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights.
  • We are subject to laws and regulations, including governmental export and import controls, sanctions, and anti-corruption laws, that could impair our ability to compete in our markets and subject us to liability if we are not in full compliance with applicable laws.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.  You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this Prospectus before investing in our common stock.  Before making a decision to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the risks described under "Risk Factors" in any applicable prospectus supplement and the risks described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, or any updates to our risk factors described in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, together with all of the other information appearing in or incorporated by reference into this Prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement. 

If any of these risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed, which could in turn adversely affect your investment. The market price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and you could lose all or part of your investment.  The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face.  Additional risks and uncertainties, including those of which we are currently unaware or that we deem immaterial, could also affect our business or your investment in our securities.

Risks Related to the Company's Business

Our Efforts to Attract and Retain Users may not be Successful.  We have experienced significant user growth over the past several years. Our ability to continue to attract users will depend in part on our ability to effectively market our service, consistently provide our users with compelling content choices, as well as a quality experience for selecting and viewing factual entertainment. Furthermore, the relative service levels, content offerings, pricing and related features of competitors to our service may adversely impact our ability to attract and retain users. Competitors include other entertainment video providers, such as Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (MVPDs) and Subscription Video on Demand (SvoD) services. If consumers do not perceive our service offering to be of value, including if we introduce new or adjust existing features, adjust pricing or service offerings or change the mix of content in a manner that is not favorably received by them, we may not be able to attract and retain users. In addition, we believe that many of our users rejoin our service or originate from word-of-mouth advertising from existing users. If our efforts to satisfy our existing users are not successful, we may not be able to attract users, and as a result, our ability to maintain and/or grow our business will be adversely affected. Users may cancel our service for many reasons, including: a perception that they do not use the service sufficiently, the need to cut household expenses, selection of content is unsatisfactory, competitive services provide a better value or experience and customer service issues are not satisfactorily resolved. Membership growth is also impacted by seasonality, with the first quarter historically representing our greatest growth, also affecting the timing of our content release schedules. We must continually add new users both to replace cancelled users and to grow our business beyond our current user base. If we do not grow as expected, we may not be able to adjust our expenditures or increase our per user revenues commensurate with the lowered growth rate, such that our margins, liquidity and results of operations may be adversely impacted, and our ability to operate may be strained. If we are unable to successfully compete with current and new competitors in both retaining our existing users and attracting new users, our business will be adversely affected. Further, if excessive numbers of users cancel our service, we may be required to incur significantly higher marketing expenditures than we currently anticipate to replace these users with new users.

Operating Results are Likely to Fluctuate Significantly.  We expect our operating results to fluctuate significantly in the future based on a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control and difficult to predict. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be a good indicator of our future or long-term performance. The following factors may affect us from period-to-period and may affect our long-term performance:

  • our ability to maintain and develop new and existing revenue-generating relationships;
  • our ability to improve or maintain gross margins in our business;
  • the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our business, operations and infrastructure;
  • our ability to significantly increase our subscriber base and retain customers;
  • our ability to enforce our contracts and collect receivables from third parties;
  • our ability to develop, acquire and maintain an adequate breadth and depth of content via original productions, co-productions, commissions and/or licenses;

  • changes by our competitors to their product and service offerings;
  • increased competition;
  • our ability to detect and comply with data collection and privacy regulation and customer questions related thereto in every jurisdiction in which we operate;
  • changes in promotional support or other aspects of our relationships with our partners through which we make our service available, including the MVPDs and/or the vMVPDs (virtual multichannel video programming distributors), through which we offer our content;
  • our ability to effectively manage the development of new business segments and markets, and determine appropriate contract and licensing terms;
  • our ability to maintain and develop new and existing marketing relationships;
  • our ability to maintain, upgrade and develop our website, our applications through which we offer our service on our customers' devices and our internal computer systems;
  • fluctuations in the use of the Internet for the purchase of consumer goods and services such as those offered by us;
  • technical difficulties, system downtime or Internet disruptions;
  • our ability to attract new and qualified personnel in a timely and effective manner and retain existing personnel;
  • our ability to attract and retain sponsors and prove that our sponsorship offerings are effective enough to justify a pricing structure that is profitable for us;
  • the success of our program sales to other media companies;
  • our ability to successfully manage the integration of operations and technology resulting from possible future acquisitions;
  • governmental regulation and taxation policies; and
  • general economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the Internet, online commerce and the media industry.

Managing Growth.  We have expanded rapidly since we launched our subscription service in March 2020 We anticipate that further expansion of our operations will be required to achieve significant growth in our products, lines of business and user base and to take advantage of favorable market opportunities. Any future expansion will likely place significant demands on our managerial, operational, administrative and financial resources. If we are not able to respond effectively to new or increased demands that arise because of our growth, or, if in responding, our management is materially distracted from our current operations, our business may be adversely affected. In addition, if we do not have sufficient breadth and depth of content necessary to satisfy increased demand arising from growth in our user base, our user satisfaction may be adversely affected.

We are continuing to expand our operations internationally, scaling our service to effectively and reliably handle anticipated growth in both users and features related to our service and ramping up our ability to produce original content. As our offerings evolve, we are managing and adjusting our business to address varied content offerings, consumer customs and practices, different technology infrastructure, different markets for factual video content, as well as differing legal and regulatory environments. As we scale our service, we are developing technology and utilizing third-party "cloud" computing services. As we ramp up our original content production, we are building out expertise in a number of disciplines, including creative, marketing, legal, finance, licensing and other resources related to the development and physical production of content. If we are not able to manage the growing complexity of our business, including improving, refining or revising our systems and operational practices related to our operations and original content, our business may be adversely affected.

Costs and Challenges Associated with Strategic Acquisitions and Investments.  From time to time, we acquire or invest in businesses, content, and technologies that support our business. The risks associated with such acquisitions or investments include the difficulty of integrating solutions, operations, and personnel; inheriting liabilities and exposure to litigation; failure to realize anticipated benefits and expected synergies; and diversion of management's time and attention, among other acquisition-related risks. We may not be successful in overcoming such risks, and such acquisitions and investments may negatively impact our business.

In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of companies we acquire may be allocated to acquire goodwill, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. If our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to our operating results based on this impairment assessment process. Acquisitions also could result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our operating results.


Furthermore, if we do not integrate an acquired business successfully and in a timely manner, we may not realize the benefits of the acquisition to the extent anticipated. If an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our operating results, business and financial condition may suffer. Acquisitions and investments may contribute to fluctuations in our quarterly financial results. These fluctuations could arise from transaction-related costs and charges associated with eliminating redundant expenses or write-offs of impaired assets recorded in connection with acquisitions and investments, which could negatively impact our financial results.

Certain of Our Growth Strategies are Untested, Unproven or not yet fully Developed.  We intend to increase our revenues through expanding our subscriber base by, among other things, continuing to expand into international markets, expanding into the mobile video market. There can be no assurance that these international partnerships will be successful or result in our meeting revenue targets.

If We Experience Excessive Rates of User Churn, Our Revenues and Business will be Harmed. In order to increase our revenues, we must minimize the rate of loss of existing users while adding new users to our Kast subscription service. Our experience during our operating history indicates that there are many variables that impact churn, including the type of plan selected, user engagement with the platform and length of a user's subscription to date. As a result, in periods of rapid user growth, we believe that our average churn is likely to increase as the average length of subscription to date decreases. Similarly, in periods of slow user growth, we believe that our average churn is likely to decrease since our average user duration is longer. However, these estimates are subject to change based on a number of factors, including the percentage of users selecting monthly vs. annual plans, increased rates of subscription cancellations and decreased rates of user acquisition. We cannot assure you that these estimates will be indicative of future performance or that the risks related to these estimates will not materialize. Users may cancel their subscription to our service for many reasons, including, among others, a perception that they do not use the service sufficiently, or the belief that the service is a poor value or that customer service issues are not satisfactorily resolved. We must continually add new users both to replace users who cancel and to continue to grow our business beyond our current user base. If too many of our users cancel our service, or if we are unable to attract new users in numbers sufficient to grow our business, our operating results will be adversely affected. Further, if excessive numbers of users cancel our service, we may be required to incur significantly higher marketing expenditures than we currently anticipate in order to replace these users with new users.

Risks Connected with Content We Acquire, Produce, License and/or Distribute, such as Unforeseen Costs and Potential Liability.  As a producer and distributor of content, we face potential liability for negligence, copyright and trademark infringement, or other claims based on the nature and content of materials that we acquire, produce, license and/or distribute. We also may face potential liability for content used in promoting our service, including marketing materials. We are devoting more resources toward the development, production, marketing and distribution of original programming. We believe that original programming can help differentiate our service from other offerings, enhance our brand and otherwise attract and retain users. To the extent our original programming does not meet our expectations, in particular, in terms of costs, viewing and popularity, our business, including our brand and results of operations, may be adversely impacted. As we expand our original programming, we have become responsible for production costs and other expenses. We also take on risks associated with production, such as completion risk. To the extent we create and sell physical or digital merchandise relating to our original programming, and/or license such rights to third parties, we could become subject to product liability, intellectual property or other claims related to such products. We may decide to remove content from our service, not to place licensed or produced content on our service or discontinue or alter production of original content if we believe such content might not be well received by our users or could be damaging to our brand.

To the extent we do not accurately anticipate costs or mitigate risks, including for content that we obtain but ultimately does not appear on or is removed from our service, or if we become liable for content we acquire, produce, license and/or distribute, our business may suffer. Litigation to defend these claims could be costly and the expenses and damages arising from any liability or unforeseen production risks could harm our results of operations. We may not be indemnified against claims or costs of these types and we may not have insurance coverage for these types of claims.

Payment Processing Risks.  Our users pay for our service using a variety of different payment methods, including credit and debit cards, gift cards, direct debit and online wallets. We rely on third parties to process payment. Acceptance and processing of these payment methods are subject to certain rules and regulations and require payment of interchange and other fees. To the extent there are disruptions in our payment processing systems, increases in payment processing fees, material changes in the payment ecosystem, such as large re-issuances of payment cards, delays in receiving payments from payment processors and/or changes to rules or regulations concerning payment processing, our revenue, operating expenses and results of operation could be adversely impacted. In addition, the recent military invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces and the economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other nations on Russia, Belarus and certain Russian organizations and individuals may disrupt payments we receive for distribution of our content in Russian territories. In certain instances, we leverage third parties such as our MVPDs and other partners to bill subscribers on our behalf. If these third parties become unwilling or unable to continue processing payments on our behalf, we would have to find alternative methods of collecting payments, which could adversely impact user acquisition and retention. In addition, from time to time, we encounter fraudulent use of payment methods, which could impact our results of operation and if not adequately controlled and managed could create negative perceptions of our service.


If We Fail to Maintain or, in Newer Markets Establish, a Positive Reputation with Consumers Concerning Our Service, Including the Content We Offer, We may not be Able to Attract or Retain Users, and Our Operating Results may be Adversely Affected. We believe that a positive reputation with consumers concerning our service is important in attracting and retaining users who have many choices when it comes to where to obtain video entertainment. To the extent our content is perceived as low quality, offensive or otherwise not compelling to consumers, our ability to establish and maintain a positive reputation may be adversely impacted. To the extent our content is deemed controversial or offensive by government regulators, we may face direct or indirect retaliatory action or behavior, including being required to remove such content from our service, and our entire service could be banned and/or become subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny across our business and operations. In light of the recent military invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces and the economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other nations on Russia, Belarus and certain Russian organizations and individuals, our contracts to sell and distribute our content to Russian distributors in Russian territories may cast us in a negative light with consumers, governmental authorities, business partners or other stakeholders and injure our reputation. Furthermore, to the extent our marketing, customer service and public relations efforts are not effective or result in negative consumer reaction, our ability to establish and maintain a positive reputation may likewise be adversely impacted. Lastly, to the extent we suffer any security vulnerabilities, bugs, errors or other performance failures, our ability to establish and maintain a positive reputation may be adversely impacted. With newer markets, we also need to establish our reputation with consumers and to the extent we are not successful in creating positive impressions, our business in these newer markets may be adversely impacted.

Risks Associated with the Company's eSports and Gaming Business

Licensing.  Currently, other than business and operations licenses applicable to most commercial ventures, the Company is not required to obtain any governmental approval for its business operations.  There can be no assurance, however, that governmental institutions will not, in the future, impose licensing or other requirements on the Company.  Additionally, as noted below, there are a variety of laws and regulations that may, directly or indirectly, have an impact on the Company's business.

Privacy Legislation and Regulations.  While the Company is not currently subject to licensing requirements, entities engaged in operations over the Internet, particularly relating to the collection of user information, are subject to limitations on their ability to utilize such information under federal and state legislation and regulation. In 2000, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act required that the collection of identifiable information regarding users of financial services be subject to stringent disclosure and "opt-out" provisions. While this law and the regulations enacted by the Federal Trade Commission and others relates primarily to information relating to financial transactions and financial institutions, the broad definitions of those terms may make the businesses entered into by the Company and its strategic partners subject to the provisions of the Act. This, in turn, may increase the cost of doing business and make it unattractive to collect and transfer information regarding users of services. This, in turn, may reduce the revenues of the Company and its strategic partners, thus reducing potential revenues and profitability. Similarly, the Children On-line Privacy and Protection Act ("COPPA") imposes strict limitations on the ability of Internet ventures to collect information from minors. The impact of COPPA may be to increase the cost of doing business on the Internet and reducing potential revenue sources. The Company may also be impacted by the US Patriot Act, which requires certain companies to collect and provide information to United States governmental authorities. A number of state governments have also proposed or enacted privacy legislation that reflects or, in some cases, extends the limitations imposed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and COPPA. These laws may further impact the cost of doing business on the Internet and the attractiveness of Live Current's inventory of domain names.


Advertising Regulations.  In response to concerns regarding "spam" (unsolicited electronic messages), "pop-up" web pages and other Internet advertising, the federal government and a number of states have adopted or proposed laws and regulations which would limit the use of unsolicited Internet advertisements. While a number of factors may prevent the effectiveness of such laws and regulations, the cumulative effect may be to limit the attractiveness of effecting and promoting sales on the Internet, thus reducing the value of the Company's advertising driven revenue model.

There are currently few laws or regulations that specifically regulate communications or commerce on the Internet.  However, laws and regulations may be adopted in the future that address issues such as user privacy, pricing and the characteristics and quality of products and services.  For example, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 sought to prohibit transmitting various types of information and content over the Internet.  Several telecommunications companies have petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to regulate Internet service providers and on-line service providers in a manner similar to long distance telephone carriers and to impose access fees on those companies.  This could increase the cost of transmitting data over the Internet.  Moreover, it may take years to determine the extent to which existing laws relating to issues such as intellectual property ownership, libel and personal privacy are applicable to the Internet.  Any new laws or regulations relating to the Internet or any new interpretations of existing laws could have a negative impact on Live Current's business and add additional costs to doing business on the Internet.

Competition.  The Company competes with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than itself in the B2C (business-to-consumer) market as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel. In addition, some of these competitors have been in business for longer than us and may have established more strategic partnerships and relationships than the Company.

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers.  The Company does not currently depend on any single customer for a significant proportion of its business. However, as the Company enters into strategic transactions, the Company may choose to grant exclusive rights to a small number of parties or otherwise limit its activities that could, in turn, create such dependence. The Company, however, has no current plans to do so.

Patents, Trademarks and Proprietary Rights.  On November 16, 2007, the Company filed a trademark application with the US Patent & Trademark Office ("USPTO") for the mark "LIVE CURRENT".  A certificate of registration was issued on October 14, 2008 and the mark was assigned registration number 3,517,876.

The Company will consider seeking further trademark protection for its online businesses; however, the Company may be unable to avail itself of trademark protection under United States laws. Consequently, the Company will seek trademark protection only where it has determined that the cost of obtaining protection, and the scope of protection provided, results in a meaningful benefit to the Company.

Market Acceptance.  Both SPRT MTRX and Trivia Matrix are new products in a product-abundant gaming market and there is no guarantee that they will be accepted by the market.  In addition to acceptance, should they be accepted, there is no guarantee that they will maintain their popularity in a notoriously fickle gaming market.

Suspension of Live, Professional Sports.  SPRT MTRX relies on live, professional sports to provide game content.  Without live professional sports, SPRT MTRX will be forced to change its business model.  This could possibly include developing artificial intelligence induced content.  There could be significant costs associated with this change and there is no guarantee that it would meet with public acceptance.

Risks Related to the Company's Securities

Additional financing will be required. The Company anticipates that it will require significant additional financing to fund its proposed business development plans. The costs of developing the Company's platforms is anticipated to be substantially greater than the Company's existing financial resources, and the Company anticipates that it will require substantial financing to develop and operate its businesses over the next 12 months.

If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing when needed, the Company may not be able to complete its business development plans or its business could fail.  The Company will scale back its development plans depending upon its existing financial resources.


The Company's ability to obtain future financing will be subject to a number of factors, including the variability of the global economy, investor interest in our planned business projects, and the performance of equity markets in general. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to the Company. If the Company is not able to obtain financing when needed or in an amount sufficient to enable us to complete our programs, the Company may be required to scale back its business development plans.

Additional financings that are equity financing will dilute existing stockholders. The most likely source of future financing presently available to the Company is through the sale of shares of its common stock. Issuing shares of common stock, for financing purposes or otherwise, will dilute the interests of existing stockholders.

The Company's stock price is volatile.  The stock markets in general, and the stock prices of Internet companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of any specific public company.  The market price of the Company's Common Stock is likely to fluctuate in the future, especially if the Company's Common Stock is thinly traded.  Factors that may have a significant impact on the market price of the Company's Common Stock include:

(a) actual or anticipated variations in the Company's results of operations;

(b) the Company's ability or inability to generate new revenues;

(c) increased competition;

(d) government regulations, including Internet regulations;

(e) conditions and trends in the Internet industry;

(f) proprietary rights; or

(g) rumors or allegations regarding the Company's financial disclosures or practices.

The Company's stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to its operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock.

The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.  The Company has never paid cash dividends on its Common Stock and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.  The Company intends to retain earnings, if any, to develop and expand its business.

"Penny Stock" rules may make buying or selling the Company's Common Stock difficult, and severely limit its market and liquidity.  Trading in the Company's Common Stock is subject to certain regulations adopted by the SEC commonly known as the "penny stock" rules.  The Company's Common Stock qualifies as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell the Common Stock in the aftermarket.  The "penny stock" rules govern how broker-dealers can deal with their clients and "penny stocks".  For sales of The Company's Common Stock, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written agreement prior to making a sale to you.  The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by the "penny stock" rules may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in The Company's Common Stock, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of its Common Stock.  This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the price of the Common Stock to decline.

Lack of operating revenues.  The Company has limited operating revenues and is expected to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.  Management has assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and the financial statements included with this registration statement includes disclosure that there is a substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The audit report of the Company's principal independent accountants for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 includes a statement regarding the uncertainty of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company's failure to achieve profitability and positive operating revenues could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations and could cause the Company's business to fail.

No assurance that forward-looking assessments will be realized.  The Company's ability to accomplish its objectives and whether or not we are financially successful is dependent upon numerous factors, each of which could have a material effect on the results obtained. Some of these factors are in the discretion and control of management and others are beyond management's control. The assumptions and hypotheses used in preparing any forward-looking assessments contained herein are considered reasonable by management. There can be no assurance, however, that any projections or assessments contained herein or otherwise made by management will be realized or achieved at any level.


Uncertainty due to Global Outbreak of COVID-19. In March of 2020, the World Health Organization declared an outbreak of COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. The COVID-19 has impacted a vast array of businesses through the restrictions put in place by most governments internationally, including the USA federal government as well as provincial and municipal governments, regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown to what extent the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place world-wide to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, the COVID-19 outbreak may hinder the Company's ability to raise financing for exploration or operating costs due to uncertain capital markets, supply chain disruptions, increased government regulations and other unanticipated factors, all of which may also negatively impact the Company's business and financial condition.

FOR ALL OF THE AFORESAID REASONS AND OTHERS SET FORTH AND NOT SET FORTH HEREIN, AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES INVOLVES A CERTAIN DEGREE OF RISK. ANY PERSON CONSIDERING INVESTING IN OUR SECURITIES SHOULD BE AWARE OF THESE AND OTHER FACTORS SET FORTH IN THIS REPORT AND IN THE OTHER REPORTS AND DOCUMENTS THAT WE FILE FROM TIME TO TIME WITH THE SEC AND SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS/HER LEGAL, TAX AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS PRIOR TO MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES. AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES SHOULD ONLY BE ACQUIRED BY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR TOTAL INVESTMENT.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock sold by the Selling Stockholders.  However, we will receive proceeds in connection with any exercise of the Secured Note Warrants by the Selling Stockholders for cash.  If all of the First Secured Note Warrants held by the Selling Stockholders are exercised for cash, we anticipate that we will receive gross proceeds of $2,144,117.40.  However, there is no assurance that any of the First Secured Note Warrants will ever be exercised.  We intend to use any proceeds from the exercise of the First Secured Note Warrants to fund our business development efforts, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The First Secured Note Warrants are not being offered by the Selling Stockholders under this Prospectus; however, the shares of our common stock underlying these securities are being offering under this Prospectus by the Selling Stockholders.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The Selling Stockholders will determine at what price they may sell the shares being offered hereunder (if any), and such sales may be made at prevailing market prices, or at privately negotiated prices

SECURED NOTE TRANSACTION

On February 15, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Mercer Street Global Opportunity Fund LLC ("Mercer") pursuant to which we agreed to sell to Mercer, for gross proceeds of up to $2,500,000, Original Issue Discount Senior Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Secured Notes") having an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,700,000 and warrants (the "Secured Note Warrants") to purchase up to 5,955,882 shares of the Company's common stock  in two tranches (the "Secured Note Transaction"). 


Upon signing the Purchase Agreement, for gross proceeds of $1,500,000 we issued Secured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,620,000 (the "First Secured Notes") and Secured Note Warrants to purchase up to 3,573,529 shares of Common Stock (the "First Secured Note Warrants"). 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, for gross proceeds of $1,000,000, the Company and Mercer may close a second tranche for an additional Secured Note having an aggregate principal amount of $1,080,000 (the “Second Secured Note”) and additional Secured Note Warrants to purchase up to 2,382,353 shares of Common Stock (the “Second Secured Note Warrants”).   There is no assurance that a second tranche will be completed or that the Second Secured Note and the Second Secured Note Warrants will be sold under the Purchase Agreement. 

The Secured Notes mature 24 months after issuance, bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.34 per share, subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, stock combinations and dilutive share issuances.  We may prepay the Secured Notes (i) at any time during the first 90 days following closing at the face value of the Secured Notes, (ii) at any time during the period from 91 to 180 days following closing at a premium of 110% of the face value of the Secured Notes, and (iii) thereafter at 120% of the face value of the Secured Notes. The Secured Notes contain a number of customary events of default. Additionally, the Secured Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company, including a lien on and security interest in all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, pursuant to a security agreement that was entered into in connection with the issuance of the Secured Notes (the "Security Agreement").

The Secured Note Warrants are exercisable at an initial exercise price of $0.60 per share for a term ending on the 5 year anniversary of the date of issuance.  The exercise price of the Secured Note Warrants are subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, stock combinations and dilutive share issuances.

In connection with the Secured Note Transaction, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Agreement") with Mercer, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file a registration statement (a "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the First Secured Notes and exercise of the First Secured Note Warrants by no later than April 7, 2022 (the "Initial Filing Date"), and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective within 60 days after filing.  If the Registration Statement is not effective six months after the issue date, the Secured Note Warrants may be exercised by means of a cashless exercise. If the Company fails to file or maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Registration Agreement also provides for partial liquidated damages of 2% of the subscription proceeds on the date of such failure, and each month thereafter. However, if the shares are eligible for resale under Rule 144, no liquidated damages are payable.

The Company did not file a Registration Statement for the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the First Secured Notes and exercise of the First Secured Note Warrants by the Initial Filing Date.  Mercer has agreed to forbear from seeking liquidated damages (approximately $96,774 as of the date of this Prospectus) with respect to the failure to file the Registration Statement by the Initial Filing Date, provided that the Registration Statement is declared effective within 60 days after filing.     

In connection with the Secured Note Transaction, the Company paid to Carter Terry a cash fee of $120,000 and issued to Carter Terry, and registered brokers employed by Carter Terry, an aggregate of 221,402 shares of Common Stock at a deemed price of $0.281 per share. If a second tranche is completed under the Purchase Agreement, Carter Terry will be entitled to a further cash fee equal to 8% of the funds raised in the second tranche, plus shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to 4% of the funds raised in the second tranche divided by the last closing price of the Common Stock prior to closing of the second tranche.

(1) The number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and such information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under Rule 13d-3, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a selling stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares which that selling stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this prospectus through the exercise of any stock options or warrants.  The number of shares beneficially owned also assumes that each selling security holder (1) sells all of the securities being offered by them in this prospectus; (2) does not dispose of any security of the Company other than the securities being offered in this prospectus; and (3) does not acquire any additional securities of the Company.

(2) The percentages of beneficial ownership are based on 168,897,262 shares of Common Stock, which assumes the exercise of all of the First Secured Notes and the First Secured Note Warrants, but without giving effect to the exercise or conversion of any other securities convertible into, or exercisable for, shares of Common Stock.

(3) Jonathan Juchno is the Chair of the Investment Committee of Mercer Street Global Opportunity Fund, LLC, and its principal business address is 1111 Brickell Avenue, Suite 290, Miami, FL 33131. Includes (i) 4,764,706 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the First Secured Notes, and (ii) 3,573,529 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the First Secured Note Warrants. The foregoing is calculated without without giving effect to the following blockers: The Secured Notes and Secured Note Warrants held by the Selling Stockholder are subject to beneficial ownership limitations such that the Secured Notes and Secured Note Warrants may not be converted or exercised, respectively, if it would result in the holder exceeding the beneficial ownership limitation. The beneficial ownership limitation is initially 4.99% but may be increased to 9.99% upon at least 61 days prior written notice to the Company.

(4) Timothy Terry has voting and investment control over the securities of the Company held by Carter Terry.  Carter Terry is a registered broker-dealer and acted as placement agent for the March Private Placement.  The securities being registered for Carter Terry were issued as compensation for services provided by Carter Terry as placement agent for the March Private Placement.

(5) Mr. Cabibi is a registered broker and an employee of Carter Terry. The securities being registered for Mr, Cabibi were issued as compensation for services provided by Carter Terry as placement agent for the March Private Placement. Mr. Cabibi has certified to us that he acquired the securities being offered by him in the ordinary course of business, and, at the time he acquired these securities, he had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities being offered by him.


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each Selling Stockholder of the Common Stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on the OTC Markets or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

  • ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
  • block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
  • purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
  • an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
  • privately negotiated transactions;
  • settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
  • broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
  • through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
  • a combination of any such methods of sale; or
  • any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121 or NASD Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent.


The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.

The shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following description is a summary of the material terms of the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.  The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.


Common Stock


We are authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock with $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"). As of the date of this registration statement, there were 160,559,027 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding held by 189 shareholders of record.

Our Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors.  Holders of not less than 25 percent (25%) of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at meetings of our stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by law, our Articles of Incorporation or our Bylaws, all action taken by the holders of a majority of the votes cast, excluding abstentions, at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be valid and binding; provided, however, that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by our Articles of Incorporation or our Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter and, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by our Articles of Incorporation or our Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the majority (plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of the votes cast, including abstentions, by the holders of shares of such class or classes or series shall be the act of such class or classes or series.  A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation.

The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the directors out of funds legally available therefore and to share pro rata in any distribution to the holders of our Common Stock.  The shares of Common Stock do not carry any subscription, redemption or conversion rights, nor do they contain any sinking fund or purchase fund provisions.

SPRT MTRX

SPRT MTRX is a gaming app, available in both iPhone and Android versions, in which players bid on the final scores of NHL, NBA and NFL games.  The events are organized as "Challenges" and cover multiple games over one day.  A cash prize is awarded to the player who receives the most points for correctly bidding on the final scores of the games included in the Challenge.  The system for bidding on the final scores is unique in the gaming industry.

The business model for SPRT MTRX entails offering cash prizes to introduce and attract players to the game, developing a large contingent of users and delivering advertisements.  This model, free to play (F2P), has proven popular among gamers as the lure of free money is a very attractive inducement.

The Company intends to continue to develop and enhance the SPRT MTRX through 2022 by adding additional functionality and more sports such as MLB and EPL but does not anticipate generating any significant revenue from SPRT MTRX in fiscal 2022.

Trivia Matrix

Trivia Matrix is a mobile trivia game app.  The game consists of a 4 x 4 grid of eight mixed pairs of trivia data belonging to a specific category.  The categories are Geography, History, Sports, Natural World, Pop Culture and Entertainment.  The goal of the game is to eliminate each pair of trivia by matching them together and clear the grid of all data.  Examples of matches are: actor with movie, musician with band, painter with painting, country with capital and country with silhouette.

Trivia Matrix is a free to play (F2P) game.  The Company generates revenue by presenting advertisements periodically to players who complete games and, in the future, intends to introduce in-app purchases (IAP) such as pay to avoid advertisements and pay to gain access to a premium account, which includes more data and more questions.

Players can play individual games to beat the clock or head-to-head (H2H) games against other players to climb a challenge ladder. 

The game is available on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.


Competition

The market for social media platforms and game development is characterized by rapid technological change, frequent product innovation, changing user preferences and expectations.  The Company faces significant competition in every aspect of its business.  Many of the Company's competitors are more established, have greater market share, greater user adoption and greater financial and other resources.  In addition to competition for its products, the Company also competes to attract, engage and retain advertisers, content providers, platform partners and developers, employees, software engineers and designers and product managers. 

Competitors of the Company include:

  • Companies that offer products that enable people to create and share ideas, videos, and other content and information.
  • Companies that offer advertising space and opportunities to advertisers.
  • Companies that develop applications, particularly mobile applications, that create, syndicate and distribute content across different platforms.
  • Traditional, online, and mobile businesses and media companies that enable people to consume content or marketers to reach their audiences and/or develop tools and systems for managing and optimizing advertising campaigns.

Some of these competing companies and their products include Discord, Amazon (Twitch), ByteDance (TikTok), Salesforce (Slack), Microsoft (Teams, Skype, LinkedIn), Twitter, Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp), Alphabet (Google Chat, Google Meet, YouTube), and Snap (Snapchat).

If the Company is unable to compete effectively for users of its platform or apps, software engineers and developers, advertisers, or other resources, the Company's business and operating results could be harmed.  See "Risk Factors".

Intellectual Property

To protect our intellectual property rights, we rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets and trademarks.  We currently own 7 issued patents, as well as an additional 4 patents pending, all related to video streaming and marketplace for video content.

In addition, we own a number of registered trademarks relating to our brand and business:

as well as 4 trademark applications in process.

Government Regulation

The Company is subject to a number of U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations that involve matters central to its business, including laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection, cybersecurity, publication rights, content regulation, data localization, intellectual property, competition, protection of minors, consumer protection, credit card processing, taxation or other matters. Many of the laws and regulations impacting the Company's business, particularly in the area of privacy and data protection, are still evolving and could be developed, interpreted or applied in a manner that is inconsistent from region to region. The Company's current policies and practices may not be consistent with all of these laws and regulations or how those laws and regulations are interpreted, and as a result, the Company's business could be negatively impacted.

See "Risk Factors".

Employees

The Company has a total of ten (10) employees, of which eight (8) are full-time employees.


Facilities

The Company does not currently own any real property.  The Company currently leases its principal executive offices located at 10801 Thornmint Rd., Suite 200, San Diego, CA, 92127.  The Company believes that its existing facilities are sufficient for its current needs.  In the future, the Company may need to expand its offices or facilities. If that occurs, the Company believes that it will be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. 

On April 30th, 2021, San Diego Innovation Center, commenced a legal action in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego, Central Division against Evasyst for breach of lease. These proceedings related to a 5-year lease that Evasyst entered into in December 2019 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and the stay at home order issued by the Governor of California in March 2020.  San Diego Innovation Center relet the property in June 2021 and is now in mediation for a lease settlement. These proceedings are scheduled for trial in August 2022. Evasyst is working through a mediator to find a suitable settlement.

Revenues

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Evasyst earned revenues of $87,542 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to revenue of $124,807 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of <29.9%>.  The Company earns revenue primarily from its paid subscription-based services. Revenue decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period ended 2021 as a result of Evasyst decreasing spend on development and reduced content on the platform during FY 2021.

Year Ended December 31, 2021

Evasyst earned revenues of $427,868 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to revenue of $209,376 for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of 204.4%.  The Company earns revenue primarily from its paid subscription-based services. Revenue increased during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the same period ended 2020 as a result of Evasyst decreasing the features offered for free membership and increasing the features offered for premium membership, which encouraged more subscribers to convert to paying memberships.

Evasyst earns revenues from subscription-based services from its users.  Subscription services revenue is comprised of cloud-based subscription fees that provide the paying user the right to access the platform's preferred features as a "Premium User" for a period of time. The subscription contracts may be made on a monthly or annual option, beginning on the date that access is made available to the customer.  Monthly subscription contracts are billed monthly, and annual subscription contracts are billed annually, all in advance.  The contracts do not have a significant financing component and customer invoices are paid upfront.

During fiscal 2022, the Company intends to focus on increasing its consumer revenue streams through marketing designed to attract new users as well as negotiating content licensing arrangements to add value to the Kast video streaming service and encourage more subscribed users.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve its revenue goals or to otherwise increase revenues during the next 12 months, if ever.  As the Company's business is still developing, and it is still in the process of establishing itself in the social media and gaming app marketplaces, any revenues that the Company generates are likely to be subject to significant fluctuations and may be difficult to reliably predict.


Operating Expenses

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

Operating expenses for Evasyst for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, of $2,013,063 were abnormally high ($209,094 for prior year quarter end). The sharp increase in operating expenses related to the Evasyst  transaction with Live Current Media and related consulting and officer compensations:

  • $613,250 to Leawood VC Fund, Fairmont Capital, Inc, Sean Harran, and Tom Kenney for professional services associated with preparing Evasyst to complete the transaction with Live Current Media.
  • $750,000 to Mark Ollila, currently our Chief Executive Officer and Chair of our Board and previously the CEO of Evasyst, as officer compensation for sourcing and leading Evasyst to close the transaction with Live Current Media in April.
  • $214,000 to  Justin Weissberg, currently our Chief Games Officer and formerly the President and Chair of Evasyst, as officer compensation related to the transaction with Live Current Media.

All parties involved in the costs bulleted above agreed to be compensated with equity: Mr. Ollila and Mr. Weissberg with stock issued in April 2022; Leawood VC Fund, Fairmont Capital, Inc, Mr. Harran and Mr. Kenney with convertible notes, which were non-interest bearing for the first 60 days.

Total Operating Expenses outside of these one-time transactions showed a small increase from $209,094 (2021) to $436,036 (2022). Increase is primarily due to $153,240 legal costs for the transaction and third-party contractors for software development and accounting and finance.

Year Ended December 31, 2021

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, Evasyst's total operating expenses decreased to $606,218 from $2,528,031, a decrease of 76%.  The most significant components of this decrease were:

(a) A decrease in professional fees from $384,016 (2020) to $114,501 (2021). This decrease was a result of less legal expenses during 2021 along with fewer outside contractors and consultants.

(i) Fees consisted primarily of legal and accounting expenses of approximately $57,000 during 2021, with the remaining balance coming from outside consultants and contracted development work.

(ii) During 2020, legal and accounting fees were approximately $201,885. A large portion of these were associated with legal fees in connection with convertible note financings completed during the period. Only one convertible note was issued during FY 2021, for $11,905 to Mr. Ollila

(iii) During 2020, Evasyst had several outside contractors and consultants that worked with it to help manage its operations (marketing, development, operations, customer support). In 2021, Evasyst scaled back outside consultants to manage cash flow, decreasing to approximately $40,980 from approximately $165,382 in 2020.

(b) A decrease in wages and salaries from $1,293,681 (2020) to $29,615 (2021).  Evasyst laid off the majority of its staff in January 2021 in order to manage its cash flow.  This resulted in a significant decrease in wages and salaries for 2021 compared to 2020.

(c) A decrease in general and administrative expenses from $240,209 (2020) to $161,104 (2021).  The decrease in general and administrative expenses is mostly attributable to a one-time loss on an advance to a subsidiary of approximately $170,000 during 2020, as well as reduced amounts spent on travel during 2021.


(i) During 2021, general and administrative expenses consisted mainly of rent that was accrued for approximately $81,145. Other expenses included typical expenses of maintaining an operating business: insurance, dues & subscriptions, bank fees, and utilities.

(ii) During 2020, Evasyst took a loss from an advance to a Finnish subsidiary, Evasyst Oy, of approximately $176,000. This one-time event is the primary reason that general and administrative expenses decreased from 2020 to 2021. Travel, meals and entertainment also decreased year over year (approximately $16,989 in FYE 2020 to approximately $139 in FYE 2021) due to Evasyst's decreased staff.

During 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a lack of capital, Evasyst scaled back operations and laid off majority of staff. In an effort to increase revenues in 2022 and beyond, the Company expects that it will increase spending on advertising, content licensing arrangements and personnel.  Therefore, the Company expects that its operating expenses will increase significantly during 2022.

As the Company continues to develop its business, the Company does not expect to achieve profitability in fiscal 2022, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve profitability in the future.

Evasyst had a working capital deficit of ($1,275,598) on March 31, 2022 as compared to a working capital deficit of ($943,679) at December 31, 2021 and a deficit of ($974,643) at December 31, 2020. The increase in the working capital deficit was primarily due to a significant increase in Evasyst's current liabilities for purposes of cash conservation during 2021. 

The decrease in cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily a result of lower revenues, combined with increased costs for development and professional services.


Evasyst was able to increase cash for the three-month period ending March 31, 2022, through issuance of senior secured promissory notes from Live Current Media totaling $400,000. The Notes were issued in anticipation of the merger to fund development and professional services.

The senior secured promissory notes were issued to Live Current Media on February 17th, 2022, and March 14th, 2022, for $200,000 each with the following terms:

  • Accrued annual interest of 18%.
  • Payment due 6 months after issuance of each note.
  • Secured by all Company assets.

As of April 22, 2022, the notes from Live Current Media are no longer due and payable as the two entities have merged.

The decrease in cash used in operating activities from the year ended December 31, 2020, to 2021 was primarily a result of a significant decrease in the operating expenses of Evasyst during the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to 2020, as well as an increase in Evasyst's revenues during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, Evasyst's main sources of financing were from the issuance of convertible debt,  $265,952 in funds received under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act and $60,000 in proceeds from two (2) unsecured promissory notes bearing interest at a rate of 18% per annum.  The CARES Act loan was fully forgiven with no amount due, and the two unsecured promissory notes have been fully repaid. 

During the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, Evasyst received proceeds of $1,198,733 and $1,470,000 respectively upon issuance of convertible debt.  The convertible debt had the following terms:

  • Interest accrued at 4% per annum.
  • Payment was due 24 months after issuance of the note.
  • The notes were unsecured.
  • The notes were convertible into Evasyst preferred stock as follows:
    • Upon a financing, as defined by the note agreement, for at least $3 million, the notes were convertible at the greater of (1) the number of shares obtained by dividing each note balance by 85% of the price paid per share in the financing, or (2) the number of shares obtained by dividing the note balance by the price per share obtained by dividing $12.5 million by Evasyst's then outstanding capital stock, assuming full conversion.
    • In the event of a defined corporate transaction (an acquisition of Evasyst, a disposition of substantially all of Evasyst's assets, or a corporate venture pertaining to all or substantially all of Evasyst's assets), the notes were to be (1) immediately due and payable in an amount equal to 1.5 times the balance of the note, or (2) converted into a number of shares by Evasyst's valuation cap price per share.
    • Upon maturity or upon an event of default, the outstanding balance of the notes was to be converted into a number of shares by Evasyst's valuation cap price per share.

On December 31, 2021 and 2020, accrued interest payable on these notes was $210,013 and $101,151, respectively. On December 31, 2021 and 2020, an Evasyst shareholder with a greater than 5% ownership had convertible debt outstanding of $250,000 with related accrued interest of $22,111 and $12,111 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The convertible debt of Evasyst was converted into shares of Evasyst common stock immediately prior to completion of the Merger. 

On February 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Mercer Street Global Opportunity Fund LLC ("Mercer") pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Mercer, for gross proceeds of up to $2,500,000, Original Issue Discount Senior Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Secured Notes") having an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,700,000 and warrants (the "Secured Note Warrants") to purchase up to 5,955,882 shares of the Company's common stock  in two tranches (the "Secured Note Transaction").  See "Secured Note Transaction."


Under the first tranche under the Purchase Agreement, which closed upon signing of the Purchase Agreement, for gross proceeds of $1,500,000, the Company issued the First Secured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,620,000 and the First Secured Note Warrants to purchase up to 3,573,529 shares of Common Stock.  For a description of the Secured Notes and the Secured Note Warrants see "Secured Note Transaction". 

On March 28, 2022, for gross proceeds of $886,000, the Company issued Original Issue Discount Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Unsecured Notes") having an original principal amount equal to $956,880 and warrants (the "Unsecured Note Warrants") to purchase up to 2,110,763 shares of Common Stock (the "March Private Placement"). 

The Unsecured Notes are unsecured, mature 24 months after issuance, bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.34 per share, subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, stock combinations and dilutive share issuances.  The Company may prepay the Unsecured Notes (i) at any time during the first 90 days following closing at the face value of the Unsecured Notes, (ii) at any time during the period from 91 to 180 days following closing at a premium of 110% of the face value of the Unsecured Notes, and (iii) thereafter at 120% of the face value of the Unsecured Notes. The Unsecured Notes contain a number of customary events of default.

The Unsecured Note Warrants are exercisable at an initial exercise price of $0.60 per share for a term ending on the 5-year anniversary of the date of issuance.  The exercise price of the Unsecured Note Warrants are subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, stock combinations and dilutive share issuances.

As a result of the Secured Note Transaction and the March Private Placement, the Company believes that it has sufficient funds to fund its planned operations for the next twelve months. However, we have not achieved profitability to date, and there are no assurances that we will be able to achieve profitability in the future. In addition, we intend to spend significant amounts on advertising, content licensing arrangements and personnel in an effort to increase revenues.  Actual expenditures may be greater than we have anticipated.  As such, we anticipate that we will require additional financing in the near future.

Any long-term financing that we obtain in the future is expected to come from sales of our equity securities and/or convertible debt financing. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing in amounts sufficient to meet our short-term or long-term capital needs. If we are successful in completing any equity or convertible debt financings, of which there is no assurance, or if we issue equity securities in payment for the goods or services provided to us, our existing shareholders will likely experience a dilution of their interest in our company.

If we are not successful in raising sufficient financing, we will not be able to complete our current plan of operation and we may not be able to continue as a going concern. We do not have any specific alternatives to our current plan of operation and have not planned for any such contingency. If we are not able to raise sufficient financing, our business may fail and our shareholders may lose all or part of their investment.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.
