Connexa Sports Technologies Inc.

 

1,000,000 Shares of Common Stock

 

We are offering 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001, at the public offering price of $4.00 per share of common stock, in a firm commitment underwritten offering.

 

Shares of our common stock are currently traded on the OTCQB of the OTC Markets Group under the symbol “CNXA”. On June 10, 2022, the last reported sale of our common stock as quoted on the OTCQB, was $0.79 per share. The final public offering price of the shares of common stock in this offering will be determined through negotiation between us and the underwriters in the offering and the recent market price of our common stock used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final public offering price. Factors to be considered will include our historical performance and capital structure, prevailing market conditions and overall assessment of our business. Our common stock has been approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “CNXA.”

 

As of June 13, 2022, we had 73,175,993 shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the two acquisitions we completed in February 2022 but without giving effect to the 1-for-10 reverse stock split and excluding an aggregate of 8,716,321 shares issuable upon the exercise of acquisition-related warrants, options and satisfaction of certain earn-out conditions, as well as shares held back to cover certain potential indemnity claims and shares issuable under the make-whole provision of a note. See “Prospectus Summary—Gameface Acquisition” and “—PlaySight Acquisition.”

 

We effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split on June 14, 2022, where upon our common stock began to trade on a reverse split adjusted basis. Issued and outstanding stock options and warrants will be split on the same basis and exercise prices will be adjusted accordingly. All common stock per share numbers and prices included herein have been adjusted to reflect this reverse stock split, unless stated otherwise, and other than unaudited and audited financial statements and other historical share disclosures which indicate they are not adjusted for the reverse stock split.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 13 of this prospectus. You should carefully consider these risk factors, as well as the information contained in this prospectus, before purchasing any of the securities offered by this prospectus.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and include statements regarding, among other things, our projected revenue and profitability, our growth strategies and opportunity, anticipated trends in our market and our anticipated needs for working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These statements may be found under the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” as well as in this prospectus generally. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products, market acceptance, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and financial results.

 

Examples of forward-looking statements in this prospectus include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our business strategy, business prospects, operating results, operating expenses, working capital, liquidity and capital expenditure requirements. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the cost, terms and availability of components, pricing levels, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These statements are based on our management’s expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future events affecting us, which in turn are based on currently available information. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect.

 

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Although the forward-looking statements in this prospectus are based on assumptions management believes are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the assumptions made by our management prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and except as required by law, we do not undertake to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus.

 

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA

 

This prospectus contains statistical data and estimates that are based on industry publications or other publicly available information, as well as other information based on our internal sources. While we believe the industry and market data included in this prospectus are reliable and are based on reasonable assumptions, these data involve many assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates. We have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the data contained in these industry publications and other publicly available information. The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the sections titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” included in this prospectus.

Business Overview

 

Sports are evolving. Technology is driving a fundamental change across all sports – from playing and training to watching and consuming. Sports technology has been a growing presence in the sports market for the past 10 years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen what we believe is a mass adoption of automated technologies. As part of this shift, we believe consumers have moved towards technologies that monitor health, sports performance and fitness, in order to improve their overall fitness. We have also seen professional and collegiate sports embracing technology to analyze performance. We believe the Connexa platform is well-suited to serve this evolving adoption of technology to monitor and enhance fitness and performance across various sports.

 

At Connexa, we want to be a full stack/one-stop solution for ball sports, serving customers who play and teach sports, consume sports content, and manage sports facilities. Our goal is to allow users to consume sports content through PlaySight, participate in sports through our Slinger Ball Launcher, learn through the analytics provided by Gameface, and assist in the management of tennis clubs through Foundation. These various offerings form our Watch, Play, Learn Platform.

 

We are a sports technology and media company. Our vision is to derive revenue from sports equipment sales and subscription services focused on our primary ball sports verticals of racquet sports (tennis, pickleball and padel), baseball / softball and cricket, as well as our secondary verticals, such as basketball, hockey and soccer. We aim to make participation in sports and consuming sports content fun, accessible and connected through our product portfolio of ball launchers, artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology, performance video, performance analytics, live streaming of drills, practices and instructional content, and our facilities / membership management software capabilities.

Recent Developments

 

Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Notes

 

On August 6, 2021, we consummated the closing of a private placement pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2021, between the Company and certain accredited investors. At the closing, we sold to the accredited investors (i) 8% Senior Convertible Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $11 million (which was subsequently increased to $13.2 million) and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 733,334 shares of our common stock. These convertible notes are convertible into shares of common stock at any time following the date of issuance and prior to mandatory conversion (as described below) at the conversion price equal to the lesser of: (i) $30.00, subject to adjustment set forth in the convertible notes and (ii) in the case of a listing on Nasdaq as contemplated in this prospectus, at a 20% discount to the public offering price. See “Risk Factors—We will be required to file an additional registration statement immediately after the closing of this offering.” The Company received an aggregate of $11 million in gross proceeds from this private placement, before deducting offering expenses and commissions. We used the net proceeds from this private placement for working capital purposes and to pay the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest through August 6, 2021, of a $2 million secured term promissory note dated April 15, 2021, that bore interest at the rate of 15% per annum to SB Invesco LLC.

 

The exercise price per share of our common stock for the warrants issued in the August 6, 2021 private placement is subject to a price adjustment upon a listing on Nasdaq as contemplated in this prospectus, equal to the lesser of $30.00 or a 20% discount to the public offering price. Accordingly, upon completion of this offering, the exercise price of the warrants issued in the August 6, 2021 private placement will be reset to $3.20 per share in accordance with the terms of the warrants.

 

The notes issued in the August 6, 2021 private placement will mandatorily convert into shares of common stock at $3.20 per share upon the closing of the offering.

 

Omnibus Amendment to Purchase Agreement

 

On December 31, 2021, the Company entered into an Omnibus Amendment Agreement with certain convertible note holders who collectively held 67% or more of the convertible notes and warrants outstanding on August 6, 2021. The Omnibus Amendment Agreement amended the original purchase agreement and the Company’s registration obligations. Simultaneously with the execution of the Omnibus Amendment Agreement, the Company issued to each convertible noteholder a replacement note in replacement of the convertible note held prior to December 31, 2021 by such noteholder.

 

The original purchase agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) delete Exhibit A and replace it in its entirety with a replacement 8% Senior Convertible Note, (ii) add a new definition of “Inventory Financing”, (iii) amend Section 4.18 to add at the end of Section 4.18 before the final period “, it being agreed that the provisions of this Section 4.18 shall not apply to the Qualified Subsequent Financing expected to occur after the date hereof”, (iv) delete Section 4.20 and replace it in its entirety with substantially the same text, including the following after the period, replacing the period with a semicolon: “; provided that the provisions of this Section 4.20 shall not apply to (i) in respect of any Holder to the extent that such Holder is an investor or a purchaser of the securities offered pursuant such Subsequent Financing, and (ii) with respect to an Inventory Financing.”, and (v) add a new section as follows: “4.21. Most-Favored Nation. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any new security, with any term that a majority of the holders of the outstanding Principal Amount of Notes, reasonably believe is more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that a majority of the holders of the outstanding Principal Amount of Notes reasonably believe was not similarly provided to the Purchasers in the Notes, the warrant, or under this Agreement, then (i) the Company shall notify each Note holder of such additional or more favorable term within one (1) business day of the issuance or amendment (as applicable) of the respective security, and (ii) such term, at the option of a majority of the holders of the outstanding Principal Amount of Notes, shall become a part of the Transaction Documents (regardless of whether the Company complied with the notification provision of this Section). The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion discounts, prepayment rate, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, and original issue discounts. If a majority of the holders of the outstanding Principal Amount of Notes elects to have the term become a part of the Transaction Documents, then the Company shall immediately deliver acknowledgment of such adjustment to the Note holder (the “Acknowledgment”) within one (1) business day of Company’s receipt of request from Investor (the “Adjustment Deadline”), provided that Company’s failure to timely provide the Acknowledgement shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby.”

 

As consideration for entering into the Omnibus Amendment Agreement, the outstanding principal balance of each convertible note holder was increased by twenty percent (20%) and such increased principal balance is reflected on the replacement note issued to each convertible noteholder.

 

After giving effect to this increase in principal amount, total outstanding borrowings related to the convertible notes as of January 31, 2022 was $13.2 million, excluding any interest due on the convertible notes at such time. The outstanding amount is net of discounts of $5.6 million for a net book value of $7.6 million as of January 31, 2022.

 

For more information regarding this transaction, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition—Description of Indebtedness—Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Notes.”

  

Loan Agreements

 

On January 14, 2022, we entered into two loan agreements with Yonah Kalfa and Naftali Kalfa, each for $1.0 million, pursuant to which we received a total amount of $2 million. The loans bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and we have agreed to repay the loans in full by July 31, 2022 or such other date as may be accepted by the lenders. We are not permitted to make any distribution or pay any dividends unless or until the loans are repaid in full. Yonah Kalfa is our Chief Innovation Officer, is a director nominee and our largest stockholder.

 

On April 1, 2022, we entered into a loan agreement with Midcity Capital Ltd. pursuant to which we received $500,000. The loan bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum and is required to be repaid in full by July 1, 2022, or such other date as may be accepted by the lender.

 

We expect to use a portion of the net proceeds of this offering repay the loan from Midcity Capital Ltd. See Use of Proceeds.”

In addition, the Company agreed that it will provide working capital to Gameface up to the amount of $1.5 million for the period between July 1, 2021 to December, 31, 2022 and Mr. Shaik will be appointed as a board observer of the Company to attend board meetings and receive information relevant to the matter(s) being discussed in the board meeting pursuant to a side letter in connection with Mr. Shaik’s service agreement with Gameface.

On February 15, 2022, for and in consideration of $4 million the Company conveyed, sold, transferred, set over, assigned and delivered to Slinger Bag Consignment, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Consignor”), all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to 13,000 units of certain surplus inventory, including all components, parts, additions and accessions thereto (collectively, the “Consigned Goods”).

PlaySight Acquisition

 

On October 21, 2021, the Company, SB Merger Sub Ltd., a private company formed under the laws of the State of Israel and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, PlaySight and Rohit Krishnan, in his capacity as the Shareholders’ Representative, entered into a merger agreement (the “PlaySight Agreement”) and on February 16, 2022, the parties amended the PlaySight Agreement. On February 21, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of PlaySight.

 

In accordance with the PlaySight Agreement, as amended, the Company issued to PlaySight shareholders consideration of 2,537,969 shares of Company common stock, and issued to PlaySight employees options to purchase up to 142,858 shares of Company common stock, and used a cash sum equal to the value of 152,490 shares of the Company’s common stock ($2.2 million) to cover certain expenses. The PlaySight employee options vest at issuance, have an exercise price of $0.01 per share, and expire 10 years from issuance. The Company also agreed to earn-out consideration of up to 514,286 shares of the Company’s common stock. Issuance of the earn-out shares is based on PlaySight’s annual recurring revenue at December 31, 2022, and is expected to be paid out in calendar year 2023. Under the PlaySight Agreement, as amended, the Company has also agreed to purchase back shares of the Company’s common stock from certain former PlaySight shareholders for an aggregate amount of up to $1.44 million to cover certain Israeli tax obligations related to the PlaySight Acquisition. In the event the Company’s common stock becomes listed on Nasdaq prior to the date the Israeli tax obligations are due, which is expected to be February 16, 2024, and February 16, 2026, then the tax obligations will be cancelled.

 

For more information regarding this acquisition, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition—Overview—PlaySight Acquisition.”

 

Change in Domicile and Company Name

 

On March 15, 2022, the Company filed a definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the “Information Statement”). On March 18, 2022, the Information Statement was mailed to the Company’s stockholders. There were three actions described in the Information Statement: a change in domicile from Nevada to Delaware; a change in the Company’s name to Connexa Sports Technologies Inc.; and a reverse stock split.

 

In April 2022, we changed our state of domicile from Nevada to Delaware and, in connection with that change, we changed our name from Slinger Bag Inc. to Connexa Sports Technologies Inc.

 

The change in domicile and name change was effective as of April 7, 2022 in Delaware and April 8, 2022 in Nevada. The change in domicile had no effect on the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. For more information on stockholder rights under Delaware law and our capital structure see “Description of Capital Stock.” The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) approved our name change on May 13, 2022, effective May 16, 2022. The Company changed its ticker symbol to “CNXA” effective May 16, 2022. For more information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations—Change in Domicile and Company Name”.

Reverse Stock Split

 

We effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split on June 14, 2022. No fractional shares was issued in connection with the reverse stock split and all such fractional interests were rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock. The conversion or exercise prices of our issued and outstanding convertible securities were adjusted accordingly. Share information presented in this prospectus, other than where noted and in our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and other historical discussions of share issuances, such as shares issued in connection with acquisitions, have been adjusted to give effect to such reverse stock split.

 

Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company

 

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30th, or (2) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th. Such reduced disclosure and corporate governance obligations may make it more challenging for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

RISK FACTOR SUMMARY

 

Investing in shares of our common stock will involve certain risks. Set forth below is a summary of the principal risks associated with an investment in our common stock. You should consider carefully the following discussion of risks, as well as the discussion of risks included in this prospectus including in the section “Risk Factors” starting on page 13, before you decide that an investment in our shares is appropriate for you.

 

Risks Related to Our Business, Operation and Industry

 

  We depend on the strength of our brands.
  The cost of raw materials, labor or freight could lead to an increase in our cost of sales and cause our results of operations to suffer.
  Our international operations involve inherent risks which could result in harm to our business.
  We rely heavily on supply chain reliability and predictability and continued disruption in our supply chain could have a material adverse impact on operations.
  Our results of operations are subject to seasonal and quarterly fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
  The growth of our business depends on the successful execution of our growth strategy, including development of the Watch, Play, Learn Platform and our efforts to expand internationally by growing our e-commerce business.
  If we are unable to respond effectively to changes in market trends and consumer preferences, our market share, net sales and profitability could be adversely affected.
  We rely significantly on information technology to operate our business. Any significant security breach of our confidential information of our customers, applications, technology, networks, or other systems critical to our operations, or failure to comply with privacy and security laws and regulations could damage our reputation, brands and business.
  Our products face intense competition.
  The AI-based video technology market is new and unproven, and it may decline or experience limited growth, which would adversely affect our ability to fully realize the potential of our platforms.
  Failure to continue to obtain or maintain high-quality endorsers of our products could harm our business.
  Our products are subject to risks associated with overseas sourcing, manufacturing and financing.
  There is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern absent obtaining adequate new debt or equity financing and achieving sufficient sales levels.
  Some aspects of our business processes include open-source software, which poses risks that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open-source licenses could negatively affect our business.
  Our ability to sell our products and services will be dependent on the quality of our technical support and our failure to deliver high-quality technical support services could have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations.
  If we are not able to enhance or introduce new products that achieve market acceptance and keep pace with technological developments, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

 

Risks Related to the Company’s Legal and Regulatory Requirements

 

  Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property and curb the sale of counterfeit merchandise could injure our brand and negatively affect our sales.
  We may become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by our employees, which could result in litigation and adversely affect our business.
  We may be subject to product liability lawsuits or claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims.
  To the extent we may rely on endorsements or testimonials, we will review any relevant relationships for compliance with the Endorsement Guides and we will otherwise endeavor to follow the FTC Act and other legal standards applicable to our advertising.
  Failure of our contractors or our licensees’ contractors to comply with local laws and other standards could harm our business.
  We are subject to a complex array of laws and regulations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
  For as long as we are a “smaller reporting company,” we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements that apply to other publicly reporting companies. We cannot predict whether the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common shares less attractive to investors.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Shares

 

  There is currently limited liquidity of shares of our common stock.
  Our stock price may be volatile, or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.
  We do not intend to pay dividends on our shares of common stock and under the terms of certain outstanding loans, we are not permitted to pay any dividends.
  Certain of the Company’s large shareholders may be able to exert significant influence on the Company and their interests may conflict with the interests of its other shareholders.
  Future sales of our common stock may result in a decrease in the market price of our common stock, even if our business is doing well.
  Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through issuance of additional shares.
  A reverse stock split may not help generate additional investor interest.
  Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.
  There can be no assurances that our common stock, once listed on the Nasdaq, will not be subject to potential delisting if we do not continue to maintain the listing requirements of the Nasdaq.
  If our shares of common stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the information contained in this prospectus before you decide to purchase shares of our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus are not the only ones we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently believe are not material may also adversely affect our business, business prospects, results of operations or financial condition. Any of the risks and uncertainties set forth herein, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Risks Related to Our Business, Operations, and Industry

 

We depend on the strength of our brands.

 

We expect to derive substantially all of our net sales from sales of branded products and services, including Slinger, PlaySight, Gameface and Foundation Sports. The reputation and integrity of our brands are essential to the success of our business. We believe that our consumers value the status and reputation of our brands, and the superior quality, performance, functionality and durability that our brands represent. Building, maintaining and enhancing the status and reputation of our brands’ image is important to expanding our consumer base. Our continued success and growth depend on our ability to protect and promote our brands, which, in turn, depends on factors such as the quality, performance, functionality and durability of our products and services, our communication activities, including advertising and public relations, and our management of the consumer experience, including direct interfaces through customer service and warranty repairs. We may decide to make substantial investments in these areas in order to maintain and enhance our brand, and such investments may not be successful.

 

Additionally, in order to expand our reach, we engage with third-party distributors. To the extent those third-party distributors fail to comply with our operating guidelines, we may not be successful in protecting our brand image. Product defects, product recalls, counterfeit products and ineffective marketing are among the potential threats to the strength of our brands and to protect our brands’ status we may need to make substantial expenditures to mitigate the impact of such threats.

 

Moreover, if we fail to continue to innovate to ensure that our products are deemed to achieve superior levels of function, quality and design, or to otherwise be sufficiently distinguishable from our competitors’ products, or if we fail to manage the growth of our on-line sales in a way that protects the high-end nature of our brands, the value of our brands may be diluted, and we may not be able to maintain our premium position and pricing or sales volumes, which could adversely affect our financial performance and business. We believe that maintaining and enhancing our brands image in new markets where we have limited brand recognition is important to expanding our consumer base. If we are unable to maintain or enhance our brands in new markets, then our growth strategy could be adversely affected.

 

The cost of raw materials, labor or freight could lead to an increase in our cost of sales and cause our results of operations to suffer.

 

Increasing costs for raw materials, labor or freight could make our sourcing processes more costly and negatively affect our gross margin and profitability. Labor costs at our independent manufacturers’ sites have been increasing and it is unlikely that these increases will abate. Wage and price inflation in our source countries could cause unanticipated price increases, which may be significant. Such price increases by our independent manufacturers could be rapid in the absence of manufacturing contracts. Energy costs have fluctuated dramatically in the past and may fluctuate in the future. Rising energy costs may increase our costs of transporting our products for distribution and the costs of products that we source from independent suppliers. Further, many of our products are made of materials, such as high impact plastics, plastic-injected molded parts, and lightweight high tensile strength metals, that are either petroleum-based or require energy to construct and transport. Costs for transportation of such materials have been increasing as the price of petroleum increases. Our independent suppliers and manufacturers may attempt to pass these cost increases on to us, and our relationships with them may be harmed or lost if we refuse to pay such increases, which could lead to product shortages. If we pay such increases, we may not be able to offset them through increases in our pricing and other means, which could adversely affect our ability to maintain our targeted gross margins. If we attempt to pass the increases on to consumers, our sales may be adversely affected.

 

Our international operations involve inherent risks which could result in harm to our business.

 

All of our equipment is manufactured outside of the U.S. with a large volume of our products being also sold outside of the U.S. Accordingly, we are subject to the risks generally associated with global trade and doing business abroad, which include foreign laws and regulations, varying consumer preferences across geographic regions, political unrest, disruptions or delays in cross-border shipments and changes in economic conditions in countries in which our products are manufactured or where we sell products. This includes, for example, the uncertainty surrounding the effect of Brexit, including changes to the legal and regulatory framework that apply to the United Kingdom and its relationship with the European Union, as well as new and proposed changes affecting tax laws and trade policy in the U.S. and elsewhere as further described in other risks in this section. The U.S. presidential administration has indicated a focus on policy reforms that discourage U.S. corporations from outsourcing manufacturing and production activities to foreign jurisdictions, including through tariffs or penalties on goods manufactured outside the U.S., which may require us to change the way we conduct business and adversely affect our results of operations.

 

We develop products in Israel and our chief marketing officer is located in Israel and, therefore, our business, financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected by political, economic and military instability in Israel.

 

A significant portion of our operations, including product development, is based in Israel. Our research and development is conducted through our Israeli subsidiary and our chief marketing officer is located in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic and military conditions in Israel directly affect our business.

 

Political, economic and military conditions in Israel may directly affect our business. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed conflicts have taken place between Israel and its neighboring countries, and between Israel and the Hamas and Hezbollah extremist groups. In addition, several countries, principally in the Middle East, restrict doing business with Israel, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies whether as a result of hostilities in the region or otherwise. Any hostilities involving Israel, terrorist activities, political instability or violence in the region or the interruption or curtailment of trade or transport between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect our operations and results of operations and adversely affect the market price of our shares.

 

Our commercial insurance does not cover losses that may occur as a result of an event associated with the security situation in the Middle East. Although the Israeli government is currently committed to covering the reinstatement value of direct damages that are caused by terrorist attacks or acts of war, there can be no assurance that this government coverage will be maintained, or if maintained, will be sufficient to compensate us fully for damages incurred. Any losses or damages incurred by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Further, our operations could be disrupted by the obligations of our employees to perform military service. Our chief marketing officer is subject to the obligation to perform reserve military duty. In response to increased tension and hostilities in the region, there have been, at times, call-ups of military reservists, and it is possible that there will be additional call-ups in the future. Our operations could be disrupted by the absence of these employees due to military service. Such disruption could harm our business and operating results.

 

Popular uprisings in various countries in the Middle East and North Africa are affecting the political stability of those countries. Such instability may lead to deterioration in the political and trade relationships that exist between the State of Israel and these countries. Furthermore, several countries, principally in the Middle East, restrict doing business with Israel and companies with an Israeli presence, and additional countries may impose restrictions on doing business with Israel and Israeli companies if hostilities in the region continue or intensify. Such restrictions may seriously limit our ability to sell our products to customers in those countries.

 

13
 

 

Our manufacturing takes place in China and is susceptible to shutdowns and delays caused by the Coronavirus and other diseases and epidemics. Additionally, we rely on independent manufacturers and suppliers.

 

As at the date hereof, one of our manufacturing facilities is located in southern China. Following the outbreak of the Coronavirus our manufacturing facility was shut down for three months, which caused significant delays in manufacturing and delivery of our products. However, there may be further outbreaks of the Coronavirus and other diseases and epidemics, which may cause further delays and shutdowns. This, in turn, will negatively affect our revenue and increase our expenses and costs.

 

We do not control our independent manufacturers and suppliers or their labor and other business practices. Violations of labor, environmental or other laws by an independent manufacturer or supplier, or divergence of an independent manufacturer’s or supplier’s labor or other practices from those generally accepted as ethical or appropriate in the U.S., could disrupt the shipments of our products or draw negative publicity for us, thereby diminishing the value of our brand, reducing demand for our products and adversely affecting our net income. Additionally, since we do not manufacture our products, we are subject to risks associated with inventory and product quality-control.

 

Further, we have not historically entered into manufacturing contracts with our manufacturers; instead, we have hired them on an ad hoc basis. Identifying a suitable manufacturer is an involved process that requires us to become satisfied with the prospective manufacturer’s quality control, responsiveness and service capabilities, financial stability and labor practices. While we have business continuity and contingency plans for alternative sourcing, we may be unable, in the event of a significant disruption in our sourcing, to locate alternative manufacturers or suppliers of comparable quality at an acceptable price, or at all, which could result in product shortages or decreases in product quality, and adversely affect our net sales, gross margin, net income, customer relationships and our reputation.

 

We rely heavily on supply chain reliability and predictability and continued disruption in our supply chain could have a material adverse impact on operations.

 

We rely heavily on supply chain reliability and predictability in producing, transporting and delivering our products. The COVID-19 pandemic, shifts in consumer purchasing patterns, availability of transport, labor shortages in the shipping, trucking, and warehousing industries, port strikes, infrastructure congestion, equipment shortages and other factors have all contributed to delivery delays, greater costs and uncertainty in arranging and scheduling transport of our products. If we are unable to reliably and consistently arrange shipment and storage of our products, we may be unable to ship, deliver and store our products in which case, we will have to reverse sales and issue refunds to purchasers of our products. Changes in U.S. and international trade policies, including to import tariffs and trade policies and agreements, to address supply chain issues or otherwise could also have a significant impact on our activities both in the United States and internationally. Supply chain disruptions, both domestic and international, have adversely impacted our operations. Continued disruptions in our supply chain and adverse consequences from aggressive trade policies could have a material adverse impact on our profitability and financial performance.

 

We face risks associated with operating in international markets.

 

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

 

Foreign currency exchange rates;
   
Economic or governmental instability in foreign markets in which we operate or in those countries from which we source our merchandise;
   
Unexpected changes in laws, regulatory requirements, taxes or trade laws;
   
Increases in the cost of transporting goods globally;
   
Acts of war, terrorist attacks, outbreaks of contagious disease and other events over which we have no control; and
   
Changes in foreign or domestic legal and regulatory requirements resulting in the imposition of new or more onerous trade restrictions, tariffs, duties, taxes, embargoes, exchange or other government controls.

 

14
 

 

Any of these risks could have an adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or growth strategy. Furthermore, some of our international operations are conducted in parts of the world that experience corruption to some degree. Our employees and wholesalers could take actions that violate applicable anti-corruption laws or regulations. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could have an adverse impact on our reputation, our results of operations or our financial position.

 

Foreign exchange movements may also negatively affect the relative purchasing power of consumers and their willingness to purchase discretionary premium goods, such as our products, which would adversely affect our net sales. We do not currently use the derivative markets to hedge foreign currency fluctuations.

 

The growth of our business depends on the successful execution of our growth strategy, including development of the Watch, Play, Learn Platform and our efforts to expand internationally by growing our e-commerce business.

 

We are focused on developing the Watch, Play, Learn Platform under our Connexa brand. The Platform will bring together the various offerings of Playsight, Gameface, Foundation Sports and Slinger Bag under the umbrella of the Connexa brand. We believe our success will in large part depend on our ability to develop a cohesive Watch, Play, Learn Platform that pulls elements from each of Playsight, Gameface, Foundation Sports and Slinger Bag. We may face difficulties integrating the technology and offerings from each brand in order create a cohesive business. For example, users of the Slinger Bag may view us a sporting goods company and choose not to engage with our technology offerings from the PlaySight and Gameface brands, and users of PlaySight and Gameface products and services may not purchase our ball launchers.

 

Our current growth strategy depends on our ability to continue to expand geographically in a number of international regions in Asia, Europe, North America, Africa and Australia. This growth strategy is contingent upon our ability to continually introduce our products to new markets. The implementation of higher tariffs, quotas or other restrictive trade policies in any international regions in which we seek to operate could adversely affect our ability to commence new international operations, which could have an adverse impact on our growth strategy. Further, consumer demand behavior, as well as tastes and purchasing trends, may differ in various countries and, as a result, sales of our products may not be, or may take time to become, successful, and gross margins on those net sales may not be in line with what we currently experience. Our ability to execute our international growth strategy, especially where we are not yet established, depends on our ability to understand regional market demographics, and we may not be able to do so.

 

If we are unable to develop the Watch, Play, Learn Platform and expand our business internationally, our growth strategy and our financial results could be materially adversely affected.

 

15
 

 

If we are unable to respond effectively to changes in market trends and consumer preferences, our market share, net sales and profitability could be adversely affected.

 

The success of our business depends on our ability to identify the key product and market trends and bring products to market in a timely manner that satisfy the current preferences of a broad range of consumers (either by enhancing existing products or by developing new product offerings). Consumer preferences differ across and within different parts of the world, and shift over time in response to changing aesthetics and economic circumstances. We believe that our success in developing products that are innovative and that meet our consumers’ functional needs is an important factor in our image as a premium brand, and in our ability to charge premium prices. We may not be able to anticipate or respond to changes in consumer preferences, and, even if we do anticipate and respond to such changes, we may not be able to bring to market in a timely manner enhanced or new products that meet these changing preferences. If we fail to anticipate or respond to changes in consumer preferences or fail to bring products to market in a timely manner that satisfy new preferences, our market share and our net sales and profitability could be adversely affected.

 

We may be unable to appeal to new consumers while maintaining the loyalty of our core consumers.

 

Part of our growth strategy is to introduce new consumers, including young consumers, to the Connexa brand. If we are unable to attract new consumers, including young consumers, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected as our core consumers’ age increases and purchasing frequency decrease. Initiatives and strategies intended to position our brand to appeal to new and young consumers may not appeal to our core consumers and may diminish the appeal of our brand to our core consumers, resulting in reduced core consumer loyalty. If we are unable to successfully appeal to new and young consumers while maintaining our brand’s image with our core consumers, then our net sales and our brand image may be adversely affected.

 

Our business could suffer if we are unable to maintain our website or manage our inventory effectively.

 

We employ a distribution strategy that is heavily dependent upon our website and third-party distributors’ e-commerce websites. The effectiveness of our e-commerce strategy depends on our ability to manage our inventory and our distribution processes effectively so as to ensure that our products are available in sufficient quantities and thereby prevent lost sales. If we are not able to maintain our e-commerce channels, or if we are not able to effectively manage our inventory, we could experience a decline in net sales, as well as excess inventories for some products and missed opportunities for other products. In addition, the failure to deliver our products to customers in accordance with our delivery schedules could damage our relationship with these customers and lead to negative feedback being posted on e-commerce sites. Consequently, our net sales, profitability and the implementation of our growth strategy could be adversely affected.

 

16
 

 

We plan to use cash provided by operating activities to fund our expanding business and execute our growth strategy and may require additional capital, which may not be available to us.

 

We expect our business to rely on net cash provided by our future operating activities as our primary source of liquidity. To support our business and execute our growth strategy as planned, we will need to generate significant amounts of cash from operations in order to purchase inventory, pay personnel, invest in research and development, and pay for the increased costs associated with operating as a public company. If our business does not generate cash flow from operating activities sufficient to fund these activities, and if sufficient funds are not otherwise available to us, we will need to seek additional capital, through debt or equity financings, to fund our growth. Conditions in the credit markets (such as availability of finance and fluctuations in interest rates) may make it difficult for us to obtain such financing on attractive terms or even at all. Additional debt financing that we may undertake, may be expensive and might impose on us covenants that restrict our operations and strategic initiatives, including limitations on our ability to incur liens or additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase our capital stock, make investments and engage in merger, consolidation and asset sale transactions. Equity financings may be on terms that are dilutive or potentially dilutive to our shareholders, and the prices at which new investors would be willing to purchase our equity securities may be lower than the price per share of our common stock. The holders of new securities may also have rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of existing holders of common stock. If new sources of financing are required, but are unattractive, insufficient or unavailable, then we will be required to modify our growth and operating plans based on available funding, if any, which would inhibit our growth and could harm our business.

 

Our extended supply chain requires long lead times and relies heavily on manufacturers in Asia.

 

We rely heavily on manufacturers in Asia, which requires long lead times to get goods to markets. The long lead times will require us to carry extra inventory to avoid out-of-stock scenarios. In the event of a decline in demand for our products, due to general economic conditions or other factors, we may be forced to liquidate this extra inventory at lower margins or at a loss. In addition, consumers’ tastes can change between the time a product is designed and the time it takes to get to market. If the designs are not popular with consumers, it could also result in the need to liquidate the inventories at lower margins or at a loss, which would adversely affect our results of operations.

 

We depend on existing members of management and key employees to implement key elements in our strategy for growth, and the failure to retain them or to attract appropriately qualified new personnel could affect our ability to implement our growth strategy successfully.

 

The successful implementation of our growth strategy depends in part on our ability to retain our experienced management team and key employees and on our ability to attract appropriately qualified new personnel. For instance, our chief executive officer has extensive experience running branded sporting goods as well as retail-oriented businesses. The loss of any key member of our management team or other key employees could hinder or delay our ability to implement our growth strategy effectively. Further, if we are unable to attract appropriately qualified new personnel as we expand over the next few years, we may not be successful in implementing our growth strategy. In either instance, our profitability and financial performance could be adversely affected.

 

17
 

 

We do not employ traditional advertising channels, and if we fail to adequately market our brand through product introductions and other means of promotion, our business could be adversely affected.

 

Our marketing strategy depends on our ability to promote our brand’s message by using online advertising and social media, and possibly the use of newspapers and magazines to promote new product introductions in a cost-effective manner. We do not employ traditional advertising channels such as billboards, television and radio. If our marketing efforts are not successful at attracting new consumers and increasing purchasing frequency by our existing consumers, there may be no cost-effective marketing channels available to us for the promotion of our brand. If we increase our spending on advertising, or initiate spending on traditional advertising, our expenses will rise, and our advertising efforts may not be successful. In addition, if we are unable to successfully and cost-effectively employ advertising channels to promote our brand to new consumers and new markets, our growth strategy may be adversely affected.

 

We rely significantly on information technology to operate our business. Any significant security breach of our confidential information of our customers, applications, technology, networks, or other systems critical to our operations, or failure to comply with privacy and security laws and regulations could damage our reputation, brands and business.

 

We are heavily dependent on information technology systems and networks, including the Internet and third-party services (“Information Technology Systems”), across our supply chain, including product design, production, forecasting, ordering, manufacturing, transportation, sales and distribution, as well as for processing financial information for external and internal reporting purposes, retail operations and other business activities. Information Technology Systems are critical to many of our operating activities and our business processes and they may be negatively impacted by any service interruption or shutdown. For example, our ability to effectively manage and maintain our inventory and to ship products to customers on a timely basis depends significantly on the reliability of these Information Technology Systems. We have implemented Information Technology Systems in all of the geographical regions in which we operate. Our work to integrate, secure and enhance these systems and related processes in our global operations is ongoing and we will continue to invest in these efforts. The failure of these systems to operate effectively, including as a result of security breaches, viruses, hackers, malware, natural disasters, vendor business interruptions or other causes, or failure to properly maintain, protect, repair or upgrade systems, or problems with transitioning to upgraded or replacement systems could cause delays in product fulfillment and reduced efficiency of our operations, could require significant capital investments to remediate the problem which may not be sufficient to cover all eventualities, and may have an adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We also use Information Technology Systems to process financial information and results of operations for internal reporting purposes and to comply with regulatory financial reporting, legal and tax requirements. If Information Technology Systems suffer severe damage, disruption or shutdown and our business continuity plans, or those of our vendors, do not effectively resolve the issues in a timely manner, we could experience delays in reporting our financial results, which could result in lost revenues and profits, as well as reputational damage. Furthermore, we depend on Information Technology Systems and personal data collection for digital marketing, digital commerce, consumer engagement and the marketing and use of our digital products and services. We also rely on our ability to engage in electronic communications throughout the world between and among our employees as well as with other third parties, including customers, suppliers, vendors and consumers. Any interruption in Information Technology Systems may impede our ability to engage in the digital space and result in lost revenues, damage to our reputation, and loss of users.

 

In connection with various facets of our business, we collect and use a variety of personal data related to our customers. Our failure to prevent security breaches could damage our reputation and brands and substantially harm our business and results of operations. On our website, a majority of the sales are billed to our consumers’ credit card accounts directly, orders are shipped to a consumer’s address, and consumers log on using their email address. In such transactions, maintaining complete security for the transmission of confidential information on our website, such as consumers’ credit card numbers and expiration dates, personal information and billing addresses is essential to maintaining consumer confidence. In addition, we hold certain private information about our consumers, such as their names, addresses, phone numbers and browsing and purchasing records. We rely on encryption and authentication technology licensed from third parties to effect the secure transmission of confidential information, including credit card numbers. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments may result in a compromise or breach of the technology used by us to protect consumer transaction data. In addition, any party who is able to illicitly obtain a user’s password could potentially access the user’s transaction data or personal information. We may not be able to prevent third parties, such as hackers or criminal organizations, from stealing information provided by our consumers to us through our website. In addition, our third-party merchants and delivery service providers may violate their confidentiality obligations and disclose information about our consumers. Any compromise of our security or material violation of a non-disclosure obligation could damage our reputation and brand and expose us to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability, which could substantially harm our business and results of operations. In addition, anyone who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in our operations.

 

Moreover, our platform and applications are highly technical and complex and may now or in the future contain undetected errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities. Some errors in our code may only be discovered after the code has been deployed. Any errors, bugs or vulnerabilities discovered in our code after deployment, inability to identify the cause or causes of performance problems within an acceptable period of time or difficultly maintaining and improving the performance of our platform, particularly during peak usage times, could result in damage to our reputation or brand, loss of revenues, or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial results. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and operating results may be harmed.

Global economic, political and industry conditions constantly change and unfavorable conditions may have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

 

We are a global company with worldwide operations. Volatile economic, political and market conditions, such as political or economic instability, civil unrest, trade sanctions, acts of terrorism in the regions or hostilities, including the recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine, in which we operate may have a negative impact on our operating results and our ability to achieve our business objectives. We may not have insight into economic and political trends that could emerge and negatively affect our business. In addition, significant or volatile changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies may have a material adverse impact upon our liquidity, revenues, costs and operating results.

 

Additionally, natural disasters and public health emergencies, such as extreme weather events and the COVID-19 pandemic, could have a significant adverse effect on our business, including interruption of our business operations, supply chain disruption, endangerment of our personnel, and other delays or losses of materials and results.

 

The Russian-Ukrainian Conflict may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results.

 

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. The specific impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is not determinable as of the date hereof. However, to the extent that such military action spreads to other countries, intensifies, or otherwise remains active, such action could have an impact on the broader macroeconomic impact and therefore, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. If the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues, the U.S., the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions could impose wider economic and trade sanctions as well as export restrictions, which could impact our business opportunities. In addition, our contractors may take actions in violation of such policies and applicable law, and we could be held ultimately responsible. If we are held responsible for a violation of U.S. or other countries’ sanctions laws, we may be subject to various penalties, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Our products face intense competition.

 

We are a connected sports company delivering products and technologies and the relative popularity of tennis and various sports and fitness activities and changing design trends affect the demand for our products. The athletic equipment industry and sports-related technology industry are both and sports-related technology industry are highly competitive both in the U.S. and worldwide. We compete internationally with a significant number of athletic and sports equipment companies and sports-related technology companies, including sports-related technology companies, including large companies having diversified lines of athletic and sports equipment and sports technology products. We also compete with other companies for the production capacity of independent manufacturers that produce our products. Our online digital e-commerce operations compete with brand wholesalers or specialist retailers.

 

Product offerings, technologies, marketing expenditures (including expenditures for advertising and endorsements), pricing, costs of production, customer service, digital commerce platforms and social media presence are areas of intense competition. This, in addition to rapid changes in technology and consumer preferences in the markets for athletic and sports equipment, constitute significant risk factors in our operations. In addition, the competitive nature of retail including shifts in the ways in which consumers are shopping, and the rising trend of digital commerce, constitutes a risk factor implicating our online and wholesale operations. If we do not adequately and timely anticipate and respond to our competitors, our costs may increase or the consumer demand for our products may decline significantly.

 

The AI-based video technology market is new and unproven, and it may decline or experience limited growth, which would adversely affect our ability to fully realize the potential of our platforms.

 

The AI-based video technology market is relatively new and evaluating the size and scope of the market is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. We believe that our future success will depend in large part on the growth of this market. The utilization of our platforms by users is still relatively new, and users may not recognize the need for, or benefits of, our platforms, which may prompt them to cease use of our platforms or decide to adopt alternative products and services to satisfy their cognitive computing search and analytics requirements. In order to expand our business and extend our market position, we intend to focus our marketing and sales efforts on educating users about the benefits and technological capabilities of our platforms and the applications of our platform to the specific needs of customers in different market verticals. Our ability to access and expand the market that our platforms is designed to address depends upon a number of factors, including the cost, performance and perceived value of our platforms. Market opportunity estimates are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates, including our internal analysis and industry experience. The market for our platforms may fail to grow significantly or be unable to meet the level of growth we expect. As a result, we may experience lower-than-expected demand for our products and services due to lack of customer acceptance, technological challenges, competing products and services, decreases in spending by current and prospective customers, weakening economic conditions and other causes. If our market does not experience significant growth, or if demand for our products does not increase in line with our projections, then our business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.

We rely on technical innovation and high-quality products to compete in the market for our products.

 

Research and development plays a key role in technical innovation. We rely upon specialists in the fields of engineering, industrial design, sustainability and related fields, as well as other experts to develop and test cutting-edge performance products. While we strive to produce products that help to enhance player performance, if we fail to introduce technical innovation in our products, consumer demand for our products could decline, and if we experience problems with the quality of our products, we may incur substantial expense to remedy the problems.

 

With the acquisition of PlaySight and Gameface, we are transforming from a sports products company to a sports technology company focused on the Watch, Play, Learn Platform. If we are unable to successfully integrate the technology of PlaySight and Gameface with our existing products, we may not realize the benefits of the PlaySight and Gameface acquisitions and our business may be materially adversely affected.

 

Prior to our acquisition of PlaySight and Gameface we focused on the production and sale of the Slingerbag. Now our focused has shifted to the Watch, Play, Learn Platform which includes the sports video, analysis and AI offered by each of PlaySight and Gameface. The Watch, Play, Learn Platform requires integration of the capabilities of our existing business with those of PlaySight and Gameface. For example, both the Slinger / Connexa app and PlaySight’s sport event streaming service are expected to include AI-based analytics technology from Gameface. If we are unable to integrate the offerings of Slinger Bag, PlaySight and Gameface under the umbrella of Connexa to implement the Watch, Play, Learn Platform, we may not realize the benefits of the Playsight and Gameface acquisitions and our business may be materially adversely affected.

 

Failure to continue to obtain or maintain high-quality endorsers of our products could harm our business.

 

We establish relationships with professional athletes, as well as other public figures such as teaching pros and influencers, to develop, evaluate and promote our products, as well as establish product authenticity with consumers. However, as competition in our industry has increased, the costs associated with establishing and retaining such sponsorships and other relationships have increased. If we are unable to maintain our current associations with professional athletes, or other public figures, or to do so at a reasonable cost, we could lose the high visibility or on-field authenticity associated with our products, and we may be required to modify and substantially increase our marketing investments. Any substantial deterioration in these relationships, or substantial deterioration of our relationship with their talent managers or other key personnel, could adversely affect our business. As a result, our brands, net revenues, expenses and profitability could be harmed. If certain endorsers were to stop using our products contrary to their endorsement agreements, our business could be adversely affected.

 

Actions taken by athletes or other endorsers, associated with our products that harm the reputations of those athletes or endorsers, could also seriously harm our brand image with consumers and, as a result, could have an adverse effect on our sales and financial condition.

 

Actions taken by athletes or other endorsers, associated with our products that harm the reputations of those athletes or endorsers, could also seriously harm our brand image with consumers and, as a result, could have an adverse effect on our sales and financial condition. Poor performance by our endorsers, a failure to continue to correctly identify future athletes, public figures or sports organizations, to use and endorse our products or a failure to enter into cost-effective endorsement arrangements with prominent athletes, public figures, and sports organizations could adversely affect our brand, sales and profitability. We are also subject to laws, regulations and industry standards relating to endorsements and influencer marketing. Many of these laws, regulations and industry standards are changing and may be subject to differing interpretations, are costly to comply with or inconsistent among jurisdictions.

 

Our business may be affected by seasonality, which could result in fluctuations in our operating results.

 

We expect to experience moderate fluctuations in aggregate sales volume during the year. We expect revenues in the first and fourth fiscal quarters to exceed those in the second and third fiscal quarters. However, the mix of product sales may vary considerably from time to time as a result of changes in seasonal and geographic demand for tennis and other sports equipment and in connection with the timing of significant sporting events, such as any Grand Slam tennis tournament and, over time, other sports competitions. In addition, our customers may cancel orders, change delivery schedules or change the mix of products ordered with minimal notice. As a result, we may not be able to accurately predict our quarterly sales. Accordingly, our results of operations are likely to fluctuate significantly from period to period. Our operating margins are also sensitive to a number of additional factors that are beyond our control, including manufacturing and transportation costs, shifts in product sales mix and geographic sales trends, all of which we expect to continue. Results of operations in any period should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.

 

We may be adversely affected by the financial health of our wholesale purchasers, retailers, and distributors.

 

We extend credit to our tennis wholesale and tennis specialist retail customers based on an assessment of a customer’s financial condition, generally without requiring collateral. To assist in the scheduling of production and the shipping of our products, we offer our distributor partners the opportunity to place orders three months ahead of delivery under our direct ship ordering program. These advance orders may be canceled under certain conditions, and the risk of cancellation may increase when dealing with financially unstable distribution partners struggling with economic uncertainty. In the past, some sports customers have experienced financial difficulties up to and including bankruptcies. Such future events would have an adverse effect on our sales, our ability to collect on receivables and our financial condition. When the retail economy weakens or as consumer behavior shifts, retailers may be more cautious with orders. A slowing or changing economy in our key markets could adversely affect the financial health of our customers, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, product sales are dependent in part on high quality merchandising and an appealing retail environment to attract consumers, which requires continuing investments by retailers. Retailers that experience financial difficulties may fail to make such investments or delay them, resulting in lower sales and orders for our products.

 

20
 

 

Failure to accurately forecast consumer demand could lead to excess inventories or inventory shortages, which could result in decreased operating margins, reduced cash flows and harm to our business.

 

There is a risk we may be unable to sell excess products ordered from manufacturers. Inventory levels in excess of customer demand may result in inventory write-downs, and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices could significantly impair our brand image and have an adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition and cash flows. Conversely, if we underestimate consumer demand for our products or if our manufacturers fail to supply products, we require at the time we need them, we may experience inventory shortages. Inventory shortages might delay shipments to customers, negatively impact retailer, distributor and consumer relationships and diminish brand loyalty. The difficulty in forecasting demand also makes it difficult to estimate our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows from period to period. A failure to accurately predict the level of demand for our products could adversely affect our net revenues and net income, and we are unlikely to forecast such effects with any certainty in advance.

 

Consolidation of retailers or concentration of retail market share among a few retailers may increase and concentrate our credit risk and impair our ability to sell products.

 

The sports equipment retail markets in some countries are dominated by a few large athletic equipment retailers with many stores. These retailers have in the past increased their market share by expanding through acquisitions and construction of additional stores. These situations concentrate our credit risk with a relatively small number of retailers, and, if any of these retailers were to experience a shortage of liquidity or consumer behavior shifts away from traditional retail, it would increase the risk that their outstanding payables to us may not be paid. In addition, increasing market share concentration among one or a few retailers in a particular country or region increases the risk that if any one of them substantially reduces their purchases of our products, we may be unable to find a sufficient number of other retail outlets for our products to sustain the same level of sales and revenues.

 

If the technology-based systems that give our consumers the ability to shop with us online do not function effectively, our operating results, as well as our ability to grow our digital commerce business globally, could be materially adversely affected.

 

Many of our consumers shop with us through our digital platforms. Increasingly, consumers are using mobile-based devices and applications to shop online with us and with our competitors and to do comparison shopping. We are increasingly using social media and proprietary mobile applications to interact with our consumers and as a means to enhance their shopping experience. Any failure on our part to provide attractive, effective, reliable, user-friendly digital commerce platforms that offer a wide assortment of merchandise with rapid delivery options and that continually meet the changing expectations of online shoppers could place us at a competitive disadvantage, result in the loss of digital commerce and other sales, harm our reputation with consumers, have a material adverse impact on the growth of our digital commerce business globally and could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations. Risks specific to our digital commerce business also include liability for online content. Our failure to successfully respond to these risks might adversely affect sales in our digital commerce business, as well as damage our reputation and brands. Many factors unique to e-commerce operations, some of which are beyond our control, pose risks and uncertainties. Risks include, but are not limited to, credit card fraud or data mismanagement.

Our products are subject to risks associated with overseas sourcing, manufacturing and financing.

 

The principal materials used in our products (e.g., injection molded plastics, polyester, electrical motors, remote controls) are available in countries where our manufacturing takes place. Our products are dependent upon the ability of our unaffiliated contract manufacturers to locate, train, employ and retain adequate personnel. Our contractors and suppliers buy raw materials and are subject to wage rates that are oftentimes regulated by the governments of the countries in which our products are manufactured.

 

There could be a significant disruption in the supply of raw materials from current sources or, in the event of a disruption, our contract manufacturers might not be able to locate alternative suppliers of materials of comparable quality at an acceptable price or at all. Further, our unaffiliated contract manufacturers have experienced and may continue to experience in the future, unexpected increases in work wages, whether government mandated or otherwise and increases in compliance costs due to governmental regulation concerning certain metals used in the manufacturing of our products. In addition, we cannot be certain that our unaffiliated manufacturers will be able to fill our orders in a timely manner. If we experience significant increases in demand, or reductions in the availability of materials, or need to replace an existing manufacturer, there can be no assurance additional supplies of raw materials or additional manufacturing capacity will be available when required on terms acceptable to us, or at all, or that any supplier or manufacturer would allocate sufficient capacity to us in order to meet our requirements. In addition, even if we are able to expand existing or find new manufacturing or sources of materials, we may encounter delays in production and added costs as a result of the time it takes to train suppliers and manufacturers in our methods, products, quality control standards and labor, health and safety standards. Any delays, interruption or increased costs in labor or wages, or the supply of materials or manufacture of our products could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet retail customer and consumer demand for our products and result in lower revenues and net income both in the short- and long-term.

 

Because independent manufacturers make all of our products outside of our principal sales markets, our products must be transported by third parties over large geographic distances. Delays in the shipment or delivery of our products due to the availability of transportation, work stoppages, port strikes, infrastructure congestion or other factors, and costs and delays associated with consolidating or transitioning between manufacturers, could adversely impact our financial performance. In addition, manufacturing delays or unexpected demand for our products may require us to use faster, but more expensive, transportation methods such as air freight, which could adversely affect our profit margins. The cost of oil is a significant component in manufacturing and transportation costs, so increases in the price of petroleum products can adversely affect our profit margins. Changes in U.S. trade policies, including new and potential changes to import tariffs and existing trade policies and agreements, could also have a significant impact on our activities in foreign jurisdictions, and could adversely affect our results of operations.

 

22
 

 

Our financial results may be adversely affected if substantial investments in businesses and operations fail to produce expected returns.

 

From time to time, we may invest in technology, business infrastructure, new businesses, product offering and manufacturing innovation and expansion of existing businesses, such as our digital commerce operations, which require substantial cash investments and management attention. We believe cost-effective investments are essential to business growth and profitability; however, significant investments are subject to typical risks and uncertainties inherent in developing a new business or expanding an existing business. The failure of any significant investment to provide expected returns or profitability could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and divert management attention from more profitable business operations.

 

Our business is sensitive to consumer spending and general economic conditions.

 

Our business may be adversely affected by the current COVID-19 (“Coronavirus”) pandemic, as well as economic conditions such as employment levels, wage and salary levels, trends in consumer confidence and spending, reductions in consumer net worth, interest rates, inflation, the availability of consumer credit and taxation policies influence on public spending confidence. Recent dramatic downturns in the strength of global stock markets, currencies and key economies have highlighted many if not all, of these risks.

 

Consumer purchases in general may decline during recessions, periods of prolonged declines in the equity markets or housing markets and periods when disposable income and perceptions of consumer wealth are lower, and these risks may be exacerbated for us due to our focus on discretionary premium sporting good items. A downturn in the global economy, or in a regional economy in which we have significant sales, could have a material, adverse effect on consumer purchases of our products, our results of operations and our financial position, and a downturn adversely affecting our consumer base or travelers could have a disproportionate impact on our business.

 

There continues to be a significant and growing volatility and uncertainty in the global economy due to the Coronavirus pandemic affecting all business sectors and industries. In addition, the on-going uncertainty in Europe and any resulting disruption could adversely impact our net sales in Europe and globally unless and until economic conditions in that region improve and the prospects of national debt defaults in Europe decline. Further or future downturns may adversely affect traffic at our on-line sales portals (which currently includes our own website https://www.connexasports.com/ and could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and growth strategy.

 

Likewise, the current impasse in U.S.-China trade relations has resulted in import duties for all Slinger products into the U.S. being increased from the previous standard of 5% to 30%. Our management has taken the view that at this time in the early years of our growth, gaining distribution and share outweighs the immediate margin consideration and has decided to take the added increase in import tariffs as a margin loss.

 

23
 

 

There is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern absent obtaining adequate new debt or equity financing and achieving sufficient sales levels.

 

The Company’s management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the foregoing. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital and implement our business plan. This determination was based on the following factors: (i) the Company has a working capital deficit as of April 30, 2021, used cash in operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021 of $4,517,457 in 2021, and the Company’s available cash as of the date of this filing will not be sufficient to fund its anticipated level of operations for the next 12 months; (ii) the Company will require additional financing for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2022 to continue at its expected level of operations; and (iii) if the Company fails to obtain the needed capital, it will be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of its development activities or perhaps cease operations. In the opinion of management, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern as of the date of the end of the period covered by this report and for one year from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

 

We have limited financial resources. Our independent registered auditors’ report includes an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

As a result of our deficiency in working capital on April 30, 2021 and other factors, our auditors have included a paragraph in their audit report regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plans in this regard are to increase product sales, increase production, obtain inventory financing, seek strategic alternatives and to seek additional capital through future equity private placements or debt facilities.

 

We have recorded net losses since inception and have significant accumulated deficits. We have relied upon loans and equity financings for operating capital. Total revenues will be insufficient to pay off existing debt and fund operations. We may be required to rely on further debt financing, further loans from related parties, and private placements of our common stock for our additional cash needs. Such funding sources may not be available, or the terms of such funding sources may not be acceptable to the Company.

 

We will need additional capital in the future to finance our planned growth, which we may not be able to raise or it may only be available on terms unfavorable to us or our stockholders, which may result in our inability to fund our working capital requirements and harm our operational results.

 

We have and expect to continue to have substantial working capital needs. Our cash on hand, together with cash generated from product sales, services, cash equivalents and short-term investments will not meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. In fact, we will be required to raise additional funds throughout 2022 or we will need to limit operations until such time as we can raise substantial funds to meet our working capital needs. In addition, we will need to raise additional funds to fund our operations and implement our growth strategy, or to respond to competitive pressures and/or perceived opportunities, such as investment, acquisition, marketing and development activities.

 

24
 

 

If we experience operating difficulties or other factors, many of which may be beyond our control, cause our revenues or cash flows from operations, if any, to decrease, we may be limited in our ability to spend the capital necessary to complete our development, marketing and growth programs. We require additional financing, in addition to anticipated cash generated from our operations, to fund our working capital requirements. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. In such a capital restricted situation, we may curtail our marketing, development, and operational activities or be forced to sell some of our assets on an untimely or unfavorable basis.

 

Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”), management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 

25
 

 

  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or directors of the Company; and
     
  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

 

Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause us to face regulatory action and also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

 

However, our auditors will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until we are no longer a “smaller reporting company”.

 

The costs of being a public company could result in us being unable to continue as a going concern.

 

As a public company, we are required to comply with numerous financial reporting and legal requirements, including those pertaining to audits and internal control. The costs of maintaining public company reporting requirements could be significant and may preclude us from seeking financing or equity investment on terms acceptable to us and our shareholders. We estimate these costs to be in excess of $100,000 per year and may be higher if our business volume or business activity increases significantly. Our current estimate of costs does not include the necessary expenses associated with compliance, documentation and specific reporting requirements of Section 404 as we will not be subject to the full reporting requirements of Section 404 until we no longer qualify as a “smaller reporting company”.

 

If our revenues are insufficient or non-existent, and/or we cannot satisfy many of these costs through the issuance of shares or debt, we may be unable to satisfy these costs in the normal course of business. This would certainly result in our being unable to continue as a going concern.

 

26
 

 

If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, then the price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting may have weaknesses and conditions that could require correction or remediation, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock. We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely affect our public disclosures regarding our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our common stock.

 

Any acquisitions we make could disrupt our business and seriously harm our financial condition.

 

We have in the past made (and may, from time to time, consider) acquisitions of complementary companies, products or technologies. A primary component of our growth strategy has been to acquire complementary businesses to grow our Company. For example, we acquired the business of Foundation Sports Systems, LLC, in our fiscal year ended April 30, 2021, and the acquisitions of PlaySight and Gameface have recently closed. We intend to continue to pursue acquisitions of complementary technologies, products and businesses as a primary component of our growth strategy to enhance the features and functionality of our applications, expand our customer base and provide access to new markets and increase benefits of scale. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the acquired businesses, the diversion of our management’s attention from other business concerns and potential adverse effects on existing business relationships could cause our actual growth or operating results to differ from our expectations. In addition, any acquisitions could involve the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully integrate any acquisitions that we pursue or that such acquisitions will perform as planned or prove to be beneficial to our operations and cash flow. Any such failure could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, there might be potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers.

 

In the future, certain shareholders and employees of Gameface and/or PlaySight may receive earn-out consideration in the form of shares of common stock subject to the fulfilment of certain milestones, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

 

Pursuant to the merger agreements with each of Gameface and Playsight, certain shareholders and employees of Gameface and/or PlaySight will have the right to receive earn-out consideration in the form of additional shares of common stock subject to the fulfilment of certain milestones. To the extent such milestones are achieved and certain shareholders and employees of Gameface and/or PlaySight becomes entitled to receive a portion or all of the earn-out consideration, additional shares of our common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the then-existing holders of our common stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Some aspects of our business processes include open-source software, which poses risks that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, any failure to comply with the terms of one or more of these open-source licenses could negatively affect our business.

 

We incorporate open-source software into processes supporting our business and anticipate using open-source software in the future. Such open-source software may include software covered by licenses like the GNU General Public License and the Apache License. The terms of various open-source licenses to which we are subject have not been interpreted by U.S. courts, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to operate our systems, limits our use of the software, inhibits certain aspects of our systems and negatively affects our business operations.

 

Some open-source licenses contain requirements that we make source code modifications or derivative works we create publicly available or make such modifications or derivative works available on unfavorable terms or at no cost, depending on the type of open-source software used.

 

While we monitor our use of open-source software and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require us to disclose our proprietary source code or that would otherwise breach the terms of an open-source license, such use could inadvertently occur, or could be claimed to have occurred, in part because open-source license terms are often ambiguous. We may face claims from third parties claiming ownership of, or demanding the release or license of, modifications or derivative works that we have developed using such open-source software (which could include our proprietary source code or artificial intelligence (“AI”) models), or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open-source license. These claims could result in litigation and if portions of our proprietary AI models or software are determined to be subject to an open-source license, or if the license terms for the open-source software that we incorporate change, we could be required to publicly release all or affected portions of our source code, purchase a costly license, cease offering the implicated products or services unless and until we can re-engineer such source code in a manner that avoids infringement, discontinue or delay the provision of our offerings if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis or change our business activities, any of which could negatively affect our business operations and potentially our intellectual property rights. In addition, the re-engineering process could require us to expend significant additional research and development resources, and we may not be able to complete the re-engineering process successfully. If we were required to publicly disclose any portion of our proprietary models, it is possible we could lose the benefit of trade secret protection for our models.

 

In addition to risks related to license requirements, the use of certain open-source software can lead to greater risks than the use of third-party commercial software, as open-source licensors generally do not provide support, warranties, indemnification, controls or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the origin of the software. There is little legal precedent in this area, and any actual or claimed requirement to disclose our proprietary source code or pay damages for breach of contract could harm our business and could help third parties, including our competitors, develop products and services that are similar to or better than ours. Use of open-source software may also present additional security risks because the public availability of such software may make it easier for hackers and other third parties to determine how to breach our website and systems that rely on open-source software. Any of these risks associated with the use of open-source software could be difficult to eliminate or manage, and if not addressed, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Systems defects, failures or disruptions, including events beyond our control, and resulting interruptions in the availability of our websites, applications, products, or services could harm our business, harm our reputation, result in significant costs to us, decrease our potential profitability and expose us to substantial liability.

 

We use vendors, such as our cloud computing web services provider and third-party software providers, in the operation of our platform. The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our technology and our underlying network and infrastructure are critical to our operations and reputation and the ability of our platform to attract new and retain existing customers. We rely on these vendors to protect their systems and facilities against damage or service interruptions from natural disasters, power or telecommunications failures, air quality issues, environmental conditions, computer viruses or attempts to harm these systems, criminal acts, unauthorized access, sabotage, acts of vandalism, military actions, negligence, human errors, fraud, spikes in platform use and denial of service issues, hardware failures, improper operation, cyberattacks, data loss, wars and similar events. If our arrangement with a vendor is terminated or if there is a lapse of service or damage to its systems or facilities, we could experience interruptions in our ability to operate our platform. We also may experience increased costs and difficulties in replacing that vendor and replacement services may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, on a timely basis, or at all.

 

In addition, our platform may be accessed by many users at the same time. As we continue to expand the number of our users, and products and services available through our platform, we may not be able to scale our technology to accommodate the increased capacity requirements. The failure of data centers, internet service providers or other third-party service providers to meet our capacity requirements could result in interruptions or delays in access to our platform or impede our ability to grow our business and scale our operations. Any interruptions or delays in our platform availability, whether as a result of a failure to perform on the part of a vendor, any damage to one of our vendor’s systems or facilities, the termination of any of our third-party vendor agreements, software failures, our or our vendor’s error, natural disasters, terrorism, other man-made problems, security breaches, whether accidental or willful, or other factors, could harm our relationships with our customers, prevent our customers from accessing their accounts, damage our reputation with current and potential customers, expose us to liability, cause us to lose customers, cause the loss of critical data, prevent us from supporting our platform, products or services or cause us to incur additional expense in arranging for new facilities and support or otherwise harm our business and also harm our reputation.

 

In addition, we source certain information from third parties. For example, our PlaySight SmartCourt technology is based on algorithms that evaluate a number of factors and currently depend on sourcing certain information from third parties. In the event that any third party from which we source information experiences a service disruption, whether as a result of maintenance, natural disasters, terrorism, or security breaches, whether accidental or willful, or other factors, the ability to score through our platform may be adversely impacted. Additionally, there may be errors contained in the information provided by third parties. This may result in the inability to approve otherwise qualified applicants through our platform, which may adversely impact our business by negatively impacting our reputation and reducing our transaction volume.

 

To the extent we use or are dependent on any particular third-party data, technology, or software, we may also be harmed if such data, technology, or software becomes non-compliant with existing regulations or industry standards, becomes subject to third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation, or other violation, or malfunctions or functions in a way we did not anticipate. Any loss of the right to use any of this data, technology, or software could result in delays in the provisioning of our products and services until equivalent or replacement data, technology, or software is either developed by us, or, if available, is identified, obtained, and integrated, and there is no guarantee that we would be successful in developing, identifying, obtaining, or integrating equivalent or similar data, technology, or software, which could result in the loss or limiting of our products, services, or features available in our products or services.

 

Our ability to sell our products and services will be dependent on the quality of our technical support and our failure to deliver high-quality technical support services could have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations.

 

If we do not effectively assist our users in deploying our products and services, succeed in helping our users quickly resolve post-deployment issues and provide effective ongoing support, or if potential customers perceive that we may not be able to achieve the foregoing, our ability to sell our products and services would be adversely affected, and our reputation with potential users could be harmed. In addition, if we expand our operations internationally, our technical support team will face additional challenges, including those associated with delivering support, training and documentation in languages other than the English language. As a result, our failure to deliver and maintain high-quality technical support services to our users could result in customers choosing to use our competitors’ products or services in the future.

Our Gameface products and services may fail to keep pace with rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards.

 

The market in which Gameface operates is characterized by rapid, and sometimes disruptive, technological developments, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions and enhancements and changes in user requirements. In addition, both traditional and new competitors are investing heavily in our market areas and competing for users. As next-generation video analytics technology continues to evolve, we must keep pace in order to maintain or expand our market position. If we are not able to successfully add staff resources with sufficient technical skills to develop and bring new products to market in a timely manner, achieve market acceptance of our products and services or identify new market opportunities for our products and services, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 

The business-to-business e-commerce industry is highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete effectively.

 

The market for business-to-business (“B2B”) e-commerce solutions is rapidly changing and intensely competitive. We expect competition to intensify as the number of entrants and new technologies increases. We may not be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors. The competitive pressures facing us may harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We rely on third parties to develop cognitive engines for our platform and in some cases to integrate them with our PlaySight platform.

 

A key element of our PlaySight platform is the ability to incorporate and integrate cognitive engines developed by multiple third-party vendors, and we plan to continue to increase the number of third-party cognitive engines incorporated into our platform in order to enhance the performance and power of our platform. As we become increasingly dependent on third-party developers for new cognitive engines, we may encounter difficulties in identifying additional high-quality cognitive engines, entering into agreements for their inclusion in our ecosystem on acceptable terms or at all and/or in coordinating and integrating their technologies into our system. We may incur additional costs to modify and adjust existing functionalities of our platform to accommodate multiple classes of third-party cognitive engines, without the assurance that such costs can be recouped by the additional revenues generated by the new capabilities. As our platform becomes more complex due to the inclusion of various third-party cognitive engines, we may not be able to integrate them in a seamless or timely manner due to a number of factors, including incompatible software applications, lack of cooperation from developers, insufficient internal technical resources, and the inability to secure the necessary licenses or legal authorizations required. In addition, we currently use third-party providers to integrate such third-party cognitive engines onto our platform. In the future, we may require such third-party developers to integrate their engines onto our platform, and we will be dependent in part upon their ability to do so effectively and quickly. We may not have full control over the quality and performance of third-party providers, and therefore, any unexpected deficiencies or problems arising from these third-party providers may cause significant interruptions of our platform. The failure of third-party developers to integrate their cognitive engines seamlessly into our platform and/or provide reliable, scalable services may impact the reliability of our platform and harm our reputation and business, results of operations and financial conditions.

 

If we are not able to enhance or introduce new products that achieve market acceptance and keep pace with technological developments, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

 

Our ability to attract new users and increase revenue from existing customers depends in part on our ability to enhance and improve our platforms, increase adoption and usage of our products and introduce new products and features. The success of any enhancements or new products depends on several factors, including timely completion, adequate quality testing, actual performance quality, market-accepted pricing levels and overall market acceptance and demand. Enhancements and new products that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain defects, may have interoperability difficulties with our platform, or may not achieve the market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. If we are unable to successfully enhance our existing platform and capabilities to meet evolving customer requirements, increase adoption and usage of our platform, develop new products, or if our efforts to increase the usage of our products are more expensive than we expect, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

Customers may experience difficulty in integrating Playsight, Gameface, or Foundation Sports with third-party applications, which would inhibit sales.

 

Playsight, Gameface, and Foundation Sports may serve a customer base with a wide variety of constantly changing hardware, operating system software, packaged software applications and networking platforms. If Playsight, Gameface, or Foundation Sports fails to gain broad market acceptance due to their inability to support a variety of these platforms, our operating results may suffer. Our business depends, in part, on the following factors:

 

Our ability to integrate Playsight, Gameface, or Foundation Sports with multiple platforms and existing systems and to modify our product as new versions of packaged applications are introduced;
Access to application program interfaces for the third-party software products that are integrated with our products;
Our ability to anticipate and support new standards; and
Our management of software being developed by third parties for our customers or for use with Foundation Sports.

 

Application program interfaces provide the instructions that are required to transfer information into and out of an application and trigger the specific characteristics of that application. These instructions are needed to create adapters between Playsight, Gameface, Foundation Sports and third-party software products, but access to application program interfaces is controlled by the vendors of these applications. If the application vendor denies or delays our access to application program interfaces, our business may be harmed. Some application vendors may become competitors or establish alliances with our competitors, increasing the likelihood that we would not be granted access to their application program interfaces. Furthermore, we may need to modify Playsight, Gameface, and Foundation Sports or develop new adapters in the future as new applications or newer versions of existing applications are introduced. If we fail to continue to develop adapters or respond to new applications or newer versions of existing applications in a timely manner, our business could suffer.

 

Our betting and online gaming customers and partners are subject to a variety of domestic and foreign laws and regulations, which are subject to change and interpretation and which could subject them to claims or otherwise harm our customers’ businesses. Any change in existing regulations or their interpretation, or the regulatory climate and requirements applicable to our or our customers’ and suppliers’ products and services, or changes in tax rules and regulations or interpretation thereof related to our or our customers’ and suppliers’ products and services, could adversely impact our or our customers’ and suppliers’ ability to operate our or their respective businesses as currently conducted or as we seek to operate in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Certain of our customers and partners are generally subject to laws and regulations relating to sports, sports betting, online gaming, marketing and advertising in the jurisdictions in which they conduct their businesses or in some circumstances, of those jurisdictions in which we and they offer services or those are available, as well as the general laws and regulations that apply to all e-commerce and online businesses, such as those related to privacy and personal information, tax, anti-money laundering, anti-bribery, advertising, competition, inside information and disclosures, and consumer protection. These laws and regulations vary from one jurisdiction to another and future legislative and regulatory action, court decisions or other governmental action, which may be affected by, among other things, political pressures, and changes in legislative or governmental priorities, may have a material impact on our operations and financial results. In particular, some jurisdictions have introduced regulations attempting to restrict or prohibit sports betting, online gaming and advertising, while others have taken the position that sports betting or online gaming should be licensed and regulated and have adopted or are in the process of considering legislation and regulations to enable sports betting or online gaming in their jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions, additional requirements and restrictions may continue to develop. For example, recently, the Committees of Advertising Practice in the U.K. recommended new rules which ban sports betting advertisements if they are likely to appeal to minors, which evidences a trend in Europe for an increasingly restrictive approach to gambling advertising more generally. Additionally, some jurisdictions in which our customers may operate could presently be unregulated or partially regulated and therefore more susceptible to the enactment or change of laws and regulations. Some jurisdictions do not have laws that grant our customers rights in the data they collect. Any enactment of laws in these jurisdictions would require a change in how they conduct business in such jurisdictions. However, our customers offer their services to customers in many more countries, but do not always have visibility of where their customers use their products and services to offer their services to their customers. Any of their licenses could be revoked, suspended or conditioned at any time. Their license applications may also be denied or conditioned. The loss of a license in one jurisdiction could trigger the loss of a license or affect our eligibility for such a license in another jurisdiction, and any of such losses, or potential for such loss, could cause us to cease offering some or all of their offerings in the impacted jurisdictions. As laws and regulations change, they may need to obtain and maintain licenses or registrations in additional jurisdictions. In addition, once licensed, they may be subject to various ongoing requirements, including supervision by the respective governmental agency of certain transfers of ownership and acquisitions. In May 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (“PASPA”) as unconstitutional. This decision has the effect of lifting federal restrictions on sports betting and thus allows states to determine by themselves the legality of sports betting. Since the repeal of PASPA, several states have legalized online sports betting. To the extent new real money gaming or sports betting jurisdictions are established or expanded, we cannot guarantee that our customers will be successful in penetrating such new jurisdictions or expanding our business or customer base in line with the growth of existing jurisdictions. If our customers are unable to effectively develop and operate directly or indirectly within these new jurisdictions or if our customers’ competitors are able to successfully penetrate geographic jurisdictions that they cannot access or where they face other restrictions, there could be a material adverse effect on our customers’ and, in turn, our business, operating results and financial condition. Our customers’ failure to obtain or maintain the necessary regulatory approvals and licenses in jurisdictions, whether individually or collectively, could have a material adverse effect on our and their business.

 

30
 

 

To expand into new jurisdictions, our customers may need to be licensed and obtain approvals of their product offerings. This is a time-consuming process that can be extremely costly. Any delays in obtaining or difficulty in maintaining regulatory approvals or licenses needed for expansion within existing jurisdictions or into new jurisdictions can negatively affect our and our customers’ opportunities for growth, including the growth of our and our customers’ customer base, or delay our or their ability to recognize revenue from our offerings in any such jurisdictions. Future legislative and regulatory action, and court decisions or other governmental action, may have a material impact on our and our customers’ operations and financial results. Governmental authorities could view us or our customers as having violated applicable laws or regulations, despite their efforts to obtain and maintain all applicable licenses or approvals. There is also a risk that civil and criminal proceedings, including class actions brought by or on behalf of prosecutors or public entities or incumbent providers, or private individuals, could be initiated against us our customers, Internet service providers, credit card and other payment processors, advertisers and others involved in sports betting and online gaming industries. Such potential proceedings could involve substantial litigation expense, penalties, fines, seizure of assets, injunctions or other restrictions being imposed upon us or our customers or other business partners, while diverting the attention of key executives. Such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our and our customers’ businesses, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as impact our and our customers’ reputation. There can be no assurance that legally enforceable legislation will not be proposed and passed in jurisdictions relevant or potentially relevant to our business to prohibit, legislate or regulate various aspects of sports betting and online gaming industries (or that existing laws in those jurisdictions will not be interpreted negatively). Compliance with any such legislation may have a material adverse effect on our and our customers’ businesses, financial condition and results of operations, either as a result of our determination that a jurisdiction should be blocked, or because a local license or approval may be costly for us or our customers to obtain and/or such licenses or approvals may contain other commercially undesirable conditions.

 

Risks Related to the Company’s Legal and Regulatory Requirements 

 

Failure to adequately protect our intellectual property and curb the sale of counterfeit merchandise could injure our brand and negatively affect our sales.

 

Our trademarks, copyrights, patents, designs and other intellectual property rights are important to our success and our competitive position. We devote significant resources to the registration and protection of our trademarks and patents. In spite of our efforts, counterfeiting and design copies may still occur. If we are unsuccessful in challenging the usurpation of these rights by third parties, this could adversely affect our future sales, financial condition and results of operations. Our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights can potentially be met with defenses and counterclaims attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Unplanned increases in legal fees and other costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights could result in higher operating expenses. Additionally, legal regimes outside the U.S., particularly those in Asia, including China, may not always protect intellectual property rights to the same degree as U.S. laws, or the time required to enforce our intellectual property rights under these legal regimes may be lengthy and delay our recovery.

 

We may become subject to claims for remuneration or royalties for assigned service invention rights by our employees, which could result in litigation and adversely affect our business.

 

A significant portion of our intellectual property has been developed by our employees, or outside consultants in the course of their employment or retention with us. Under the Israeli Patent Law, 5727-1967, or the Patent Law, inventions conceived by an employee during the scope of his or her employment with a company are regarded as “service inventions.” The Israeli Compensation and Royalties Committee, or the Committee, a body constituted under the Patent Law, has previously held, in certain cases, that employees may be entitled to remuneration for service inventions that they develop during their service for a company despite their explicit waiver of such right. Therefore, we may face claims by employees demanding remuneration beyond their regular salary and benefits.

 

We may be subject to product liability lawsuits or claims, which could harm our financial condition and liquidity if we are not able to successfully defend or insure against such claims.

 

We may be subject to product liability lawsuits and claims that, individually or in the aggregate, could harm our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. We may face lawsuits or claims if our products do not perform as expected, malfunction or are used without complying with their specifications. Moreover, a product liability lawsuit or claim, regardless of merit, could generate negative publicity about our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our brand, business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. Any lawsuit or claim seeking monetary damages significantly exceeding our coverage or outside of our coverage may have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

 

31
 

 

If we provide products and services related to sports betting, our business may become subject to a variety of U.S. and foreign laws, many of which are unsettled and still developing and which could subject us to claims or otherwise harm our business. Any adverse change in regulations or their interpretation, or the regulatory climate applicable to these contemplated products and services, or changes in tax rules and regulations or interpretation thereof related to these contemplated products and services, could adversely impact our ability to operate our business as we seek to operate in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We anticipate our business expanding into sports betting, in which case our business partners are generally subject to laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we will conduct our business or in some circumstances, of those jurisdictions in which we offer our services or those are available, as well as the general laws and regulations that apply to all e-commerce businesses, such as those related to privacy and personal information, tax and consumer protection. These laws and regulations vary from one jurisdiction to another and future legislative and regulatory action, court decisions or other governmental action, which may be affected by, among other things, political pressures, attitudes and climates, as well as personal biases, may at such time have a material impact on our operations and financial results, or may prevent our business partners from expanding into such businesses entirely and thus, may have impact on our business. In addition, some jurisdictions in which we may operate could presently be unregulated or partially regulated and therefore more susceptible to the enactment or change of laws and regulations.

 

As a result of the foregoing, future legislative and regulatory action, and court decisions or other governmental action, may have a material impact on our business partners’ business and operations, and that may also have an impact on our operations and financial results. Governmental authorities could view us as having violated local laws, despite efforts to obtain all applicable licenses or approvals. There is also a risk that civil and criminal proceedings, including class actions brought by or on behalf of prosecutors or public entities or incumbent monopoly providers, or private individuals, could be initiated against our business partners, us, and others involved in the sports betting industry. Such potential proceedings could involve substantial litigation expense, penalties, fines, seizure of assets, injunctions or other restrictions being imposed upon us or our business partners. Such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as impact our reputation.

 

Furthermore, there can be no assurance that legally enforceable legislation will not be proposed and passed in jurisdictions relevant or potentially relevant to our business to prohibit, legislate or regulate various aspects of the sports betting industry (or that existing laws in those jurisdictions will not be interpreted negatively). Compliance with any such legislation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, either as a result of our determination not to offer products or services in a jurisdiction or to cease doing so, or because a local license or approval may be costly for us or our business partners to obtain and/or such licenses or approvals may contain other commercially undesirable conditions.

 

Fluctuations in our tax obligations and effective tax rate may have a negative effect on our operating results.

 

We may be subject to income taxes in multiple jurisdictions. We record tax expense based on our estimates of future payments, which include reserves for uncertain tax provisions in multiple tax jurisdictions. At any one time, many tax years may be subject to audit by various taxing jurisdictions. The results of these audits and negotiations with taxing authorities may affect the ultimate settlement of these issues. As a result, we expect that throughout the year there could be ongoing variability in our quarterly tax rates as events occur and exposures are evaluated. Further, our effective tax rate in a given financial period may be materially impacted by changes in mix and level of earnings or by changes to existing accounting rules or regulations. In addition, tax legislation enacted in the future could negatively impact our current or future tax structure and effective tax rates.

 

32
 

 

We do not have covenants not to compete in place with our key employees.

 

We generally do not enter into non-competition agreements as part of our employment agreements with our employees and it may be difficult for us to restrict our competitors from benefitting from the expertise our former employees or consultants developed while working for us.

 

We could be subject to changes in tax rates, adoption of new tax laws, additional tax liabilities or increased volatility in our effective tax rate.

 

We are subject to the tax laws in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Current economic and political conditions make tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation and application, in any jurisdiction subject to significant change. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), which includes a number of significant changes to previous U.S. tax laws that impact us, including provisions for a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings, and a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, among other changes. The Tax Act also transitions U.S. international taxation from a worldwide system to a modified territorial system and includes base erosion prevention measures on non-U.S. earnings, which has the effect of subjecting certain earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to U.S. taxation.

 

We earn a substantial portion of our income in foreign countries and are subject to the tax laws of those jurisdictions. There have been proposals to reform foreign tax laws that could significantly impact how U.S. multinational corporations are taxed on foreign earnings. Although we cannot predict whether or in what form these proposals will pass, several of the proposals considered, if enacted into law, could have an adverse impact on our income tax expense and cash flows.

 

Portions of our operations are subject to a reduced tax rate or are free of tax under various tax holidays and rulings. We also utilize tax rulings and other agreements to obtain certainty in treatment of certain tax matters. These holidays and rulings expire in whole or in part from time to time and may be extended when certain conditions are met or terminated if certain conditions are not met. The impact of any changes in conditions would be the loss of certainty in treatment thus potentially impacting our effective income tax rate.

 

We may also be subject to the examination of our tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other tax authorities. We regularly assess the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. Although we believe our tax provisions are adequate, the final determination of tax audits and any related disputes could be materially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of audits or related disputes could have an adverse effect on our financial statements for the period or periods for which the applicable final determinations are made. For example, we and our subsidiaries are also engaged in a number of intercompany transactions across multiple tax jurisdictions. Although we believe we have clearly reflected the economics of these transactions and the proper local transfer pricing documentation is in place, tax authorities may propose and sustain adjustments that could result in changes that may impact our mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates.

 

To the extent we may rely on endorsements or testimonials, we will review any relevant relationships for compliance with the Endorsement Guides and we will otherwise endeavor to follow the FTC Act and other legal standards applicable to our advertising.

 

The FTC regulates the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising as well as relationships between advertisers and social media influencers pursuant to principles described in the FTC’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, or the Endorsement Guides. The Endorsement Guides provide that an endorsement must reflect the honest opinion of the endorser and cannot be used to make a claim about a product that the product’s marketer couldn’t itself legally make. They also say that if there is a connection between an endorser and the marketer that consumers would not expect and it would affect how consumers evaluate the endorsement, that connection should be disclosed. Another principle in the Endorsement Guides applies to ads that feature endorsements from people who achieved exceptional, or even above average, results from using a product. If the advertiser doesn’t have proof that the endorser’s experience represents what people will generally achieve using the product as described in the ad, then an ad featuring that endorser must make clear to the audience what results they can generally expect to achieve and the advertiser must have a reasonable basis for its representations regarding those generally expected results. Although the Endorsement Guides are advisory in nature and do not operate directly with the force of law, they provide guidance about what the FTC staff generally believes the Federal Trade Commission Act, or FTC Act, requires in the context using of endorsements and testimonials in advertising and any practices inconsistent with the Endorsement Guides can result in violations of the FTC Act’s proscription against unfair and deceptive practices.

 

To the extent we may rely on endorsements or testimonials, we will review any relevant relationships for compliance with the Endorsement Guides and we will otherwise endeavor to follow the FTC Act and other legal standards applicable to our advertising. However, if our advertising claims or claims made by our social media influencers or by other endorsers with whom we have a material connection do not comply with the Endorsement Guides or any requirement of the FTC Act or similar state requirements, the FTC and state consumer protection authorities could subject us to investigations and enforcement actions, impose penalties, require us to pay monetary consumer redress, require us to revise our marketing materials and require us to accept burdensome injunctions, all of which could harm our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

 

33
 

 

Failure of our contractors or our licensees’ contractors to comply with local laws and other standards could harm our business.

 

We work with contractors outside of the U.S. to manufacture our products. We require the contractors that directly manufacture our products and our licensees that make products using our intellectual property (including, indirectly, their contract manufacturers) to comply with environmental, health and safety standards for the benefit of workers. We also require these contractors to comply with applicable standards for product safety. Notwithstanding their contractual obligations, from time-to-time contractors may not comply with such standards or applicable local law or our licensees may fail to enforce such standards or applicable local law on their contractors. Significant or continuing noncompliance with such standards and laws by one or more contractors could harm our reputation or result in a product recall and, as a result, could have an adverse effect on our sales and financial condition. Negative publicity regarding production methods, alleged practices or workplace or related conditions of any of our suppliers, manufacturers or licensees could adversely affect our brand image and sales and force us to locate alternative suppliers, manufacturers or licenses.

 

We could be subject to a change in tax laws, which may impact tax rates or otherwise adversely impact our tax position and may be subject to a tax audit.

 

We are subject to the tax laws in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Such laws may change as a result of economic and political conditions, or there may be changes to such laws interpretation and application.

 

We earn a substantial portion of our income in foreign countries and are subject to the tax laws of those jurisdictions. There have been proposals to reform foreign tax laws that could significantly impact how U.S. multinational corporations are taxed on foreign earnings. Although we cannot predict whether or in what form these proposals will pass, several of the proposals considered, if enacted into law, could have an adverse impact on our income tax expense and cash flows.

 

We are subject to a complex array of laws and regulations, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

As a global business, we are subject to and must comply with extensive laws and regulations in the U.S. and other jurisdictions in which we have operations and distribution channels. If we or our employees, agents, suppliers, and other partners fail to comply with any of these laws or regulations, such failure could subject us to fines, sanctions or other penalties that could negatively affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. We may be involved in various types of claims, lawsuits, regulatory proceedings and government investigations relating to our business, our products and the actions of our employees and representatives, including contractual and employment relationships, product liability, antitrust, trademark rights and a variety of other matters. It is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of any such legal or regulatory proceedings or investigations, and we could in the future incur judgments, fines or penalties, or enter into settlements of lawsuits and claims that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and negatively impact our reputation. The global nature of our business means legal and compliance risks, such as anti-bribery, anti-corruption, fraud, trade, environmental, competition, privacy and other regulatory matters, will continue to exist and additional legal proceedings and other contingencies will arise from time to time, which could adversely affect us. In addition, the adoption of new laws or regulations, or changes in the interpretation of existing laws or regulations, may result in significant unanticipated legal and reputational risks. Any current or future legal or regulatory proceedings could divert management’s attention from our operations and result in substantial legal fees.

 

For as long as we are a “smaller reporting company,” we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements that apply to other publicly reporting companies. We cannot predict whether the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common shares less attractive to investors.

 

We are currently a “smaller reporting company”. For as long as we continue to be a smaller reporting company, we may choose to take advantage of certain exemptions from reporting requirements applicable to other publicly reporting companies that are not smaller reporting companies. These include not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements for the assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting provided by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and not being required to provide certain disclosure regarding executive compensation required of larger publicly reporting companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our common shares less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result of any choices to reduce future disclosure, there may be a less active trading market for our shares and our share price may be more volatile. Further, as a result of these scaled regulatory requirements, our disclosure may be more limited than that of other publicly reporting companies and you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of such companies. For more information, see “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company.”

We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to earn a profit.

 

We are required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In order to comply with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm will have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will affect the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit.

 

However, for as long as we remain a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. For more information, see “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company.”

 

If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.

 

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Shares

 

There is currently limited liquidity of shares of our common stock.

 

We can give no assurance that an active trading market for shares of our common stock will develop on the Nasdaq or if its develops, will be sustained, or that the shares of common stock will trade at or above the public offering price. Failure to develop or maintain a trading market could negatively affect its value and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares. Even if a market for common stock does develop, the market price of common stock may be highly volatile. In addition to the uncertainties relating to future operating performance and the profitability of operations, factors such as variations in interim financial results or various, as yet unpredictable, factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. The liquidity of the shares of our common stock may also be affected adversely by a forward stock split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following a reverse stock split, especially if the market price of our common stock does not increase as a result of the forward stock split.

 

Our stock price may be volatile, or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.

 

You should consider an investment in our securities to be risky, and you should invest in our securities only if you can withstand a significant loss and wide fluctuation in the market value of your investment. The market price of our common shares could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to the factors described in this section and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:

 

  Actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly and annual operating results or those of companies perceived to be similar to us;
     
  Weather conditions, particularly during holiday shopping periods;
     
  Changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors, or differences between our actual results and those expected by investors and securities analysts;
     
  Fluctuations in the market valuations of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us;
     
  The public’s response to our or our competitors’ filings with the SEC or announcements regarding new products or services, enhancements, significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic investments, litigation, restructurings or other significant matters;
     
  Speculation about our business in the press or the investment community;
     
  Future sales of our shares;
     
  Actions by our competitors;
     
  Additions or departures of members of our senior management or other key personnel; and
     
  The passage of legislation or other regulatory developments affecting us or our industry.

 

35
 

 

In addition, the securities markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect market price of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, systemic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, loss of investor confidence, interest rate changes, or international currency fluctuations, may negatively affect the market price of our shares.

 

If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to fall and may expose us to securities class action litigation that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to management.

 

The trading market for our common shares will be influenced by the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. The price of our common shares could decline if one or more securities analysts downgrade our common shares or if those analysts issue a sell recommendation or other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who elect to cover us downgrade our common shares, our share price could decline rapidly. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our common share price and trading volume to decline.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends on our shares of common stock and under the terms of certain outstanding loans, we are not permitted to pay any dividends.

 

We intend to retain all of our earnings, if any, for the foreseeable future to finance the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors, subject to compliance with applicable law and any contractual provisions, and will depend on, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, under the terms of the loan agreements between the Company and Yonah Kalfa and Naftali Kalfa and the Company, we may not make any distributions until these loan agreements are repaid in full. At this time, such loans have not been repaid in full. As a result, you should expect to receive a return on your investment in our common shares only if the market price of our common stock increases, which may never occur.

 

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, of our common stock may depress the price of our common stock.

 

As of April 30, 2022, we have 7,317,601 outstanding common shares. Of these shares, 709,080 shares are in the public float or are eligible for re-sale under Rule 144. The remaining 6,608,521 shares common stock outstanding are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144. In addition, on September 8, 2021, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to register an additional 1,640,000 shares of common stock, which was declared effective on January 27, 2022. Because the public offering price per share in this offering of $4.00 would reduce the conversion price of the notes to be below approximately $15.00, additional conversion shares will be issuable upon the automatic conversion of the notes, and we will be required to file a new registration statement covering the new conversion shares as soon as reasonably practicable following the determination of the number of new conversion shares that need to be registered. The new registration statement will cover both the shares originally registered for resale and the new conversion shares. Additional sales of our common shares in the public market after the date hereof, or the perception that these sales could occur, could reduce the market price of our common stock.

 

We will be required to file an additional registration statement immediately after the closing of this offering.

 

As described above, on September 8, 2021, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to register an additional 1,640,000 shares of common stock, which was declared effective on January 27, 2022. Because the public offering price of our common stock in this offering causes the conversion price to be below approximately $15.00 per share at the time of the closing of this offering, additional conversion shares will need to be registered. The new registration statement will cover both the shares originally registered for resale and the new conversion shares. 

 

Certain of the Company’s large shareholders may be able to exert significant influence on the Company and their interests may conflict with the interests of its other shareholders.

 

Certain of the Company’s large shareholders, including our officers and directors, represent approximately 44.5% of the Company’s voting rights as of April 30, 2022. Therefore, these shareholders would be able to exert significant influence over certain matters, including matters that must be resolved by the general meeting of shareholders, such as the election of members to the board of directors or the declaration of dividends or other distributions. To the extent that the interests of these shareholders may differ from the interests of the Company’s other shareholders, the Company’s other shareholders may be disadvantaged by any actions that these shareholders may seek to pursue.

 

In addition, Yonah Kalfa, our Chief Innovation Officer and director nominee who beneficially owned 32% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of April 30, 2022, has agreed to invest $1.0 million in this offering. If he investments $1.0 million in this offering at the public offering price of $4.00 per share, immediately following the offering he will beneficially own 21% the of outstanding shares of our common stock.

  

Our stockholders may not be able to enforce judgments entered by United States courts against certain of our officers and directors.

 

We are incorporated in the State of Delaware. However, some of our directors and executive officers may reside outside of the U.S. As a result, our stockholders may not be able to effect service of process upon those persons within the U.S. or enforce against those persons judgments obtained in U.S. courts.

 

The sale of a large number of shares of common stock by our principal shareholder could depress the market price of our common stock.

 

As of April 30, 2022, Yonah Kalfa beneficially owned approximately 32% of our common stock outstanding. The shares may become available for resale, subject to the requirements of the U.S. securities laws. The sale or prospect of a sale of a substantial number of these shares could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

 

Future sales of our common stock may result in a decrease in the market price of our common stock, even if our business is doing well.

 

The market price of our common stock could drop due to sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market or the perception that such sales could occur. This could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of common stock.

 

If we implement a reverse stock split subsequent to the closing of this offering, it may not result in a proportional increase in the per share price of our common stock.

 

The effect of a future reverse stock split, if any, on the market price for our common stock cannot be accurately predicted. In particular, we cannot assure you that the prices for shares of the common stock after a future reverse stock split will increase proportionately to prices for shares of our common stock immediately before a reverse stock split. The market price of our common stock may also be affected by other factors which may be unrelated to a future reverse stock split or the number of shares outstanding.

 

Furthermore, even if the market price of our common stock does rise following a reverse stock split, we cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock immediately after a reverse stock split will be maintained for any period of time. Moreover, because some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively, we cannot assure you that a reverse stock split will not adversely impact the market price of our common stock. Accordingly, our total market capitalization after a reverse stock split may be lower than the market capitalization before a reverse stock split.

 

Persons who purchase shares of our common stock may lose their money without us ever being able to develop a market.

 

In the event that no market to purchase our common shares is ever created, it is likely that the entire investment of a purchaser in our common stock would be lost.

 

Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through issuance of additional shares.

 

We do not have any committed sources of financing. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized 300,000,000 shares that are not issued. In addition, if a trading market ever develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise additional capital by selling shares, possibly at a deep discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material.

 

A reverse stock split may not help generate additional investor interest.

 

There can be no assurance that a reverse stock split will result in a per share price that will attract institutional investors or investment funds or that such share price will satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds. As a result, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not necessarily improve.

 

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.

 

The public offering price per share being offered in this offering is higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock before giving effect to this offering. As a result, investors in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $4.78 per share, based on the public offering price of $4.00 per share of common stock. Investors in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the book value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.

 

There can be no assurances that our common stock will not be subject to potential delisting if we do not continue to maintain the listing requirements of the Nasdaq.

 

Our common stock has been approved for listing on the Nasdaq, under the symbol “CNXA.” Nasdaq has rules for continued listing, including, without limitation, minimum market capitalization and other requirements. Failure to maintain our listing (i.e., being de-listed from the Nasdaq), would make it more difficult for shareholders to sell our common stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our common stock. This could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our common stock is not traded on a national securities exchange.

 

36
 

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our stock may be negatively impacted. In the event securities or industry analysts initiate coverage, if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price may decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

 

If our shares of common stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not obtain or retain a listing on the Nasdaq and if the price of our common stock is less than $5.00, our common stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

 

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares is restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline significantly, even if our business is doing well.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. Upon the expiration or early release of any or all of the lock-up agreements entered into between the Representatives and each of our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, a significant amount of shares of our common stock may be sold, or there may be a perception that they will be sold, in the public market.

 

Additionally, upon the (i) expiration of, (ii) early release of, and (iii) terms permitting sales of shares of the Company’s common stock at certain times, a significant amount of shares of our common stock may be sold, or there may be a perception that they will be sold, in the public market.

 

The terms of the lock-up agreements entered into between the Representatives and each of our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock could also be waived by certain parties to the agreements.  If terms restricting the sales of our common stock in such agreements are waived, a significant amount of shares of our common stock may be sold in the public market.

 

Upon the sale, or the perception that a sale will occur, as described above, our stock price may decline significantly, even if our business is doing well.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Based upon a public offering price of $4.00 per share, we estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, of approximately $3.0 million (or approximately $3.5 million if the underwriters exercise their option in full).

 

We plan to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for the following purposes (dollars in thousands):

For more information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition—Overview—Gameface Acquisition.”

 

The foregoing represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering. However, the nature, amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management has and will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds from this offering for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of net proceeds from this offering. To the extent that the net proceeds we receive from this offering are not immediately used for the above purposes, we intend to invest our net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing bank deposits or debt instruments.

 

38
 

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have not paid and do not expect to declare or pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently expect to retain all future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. In addition, under the terms of the loan agreements between the Company and Yonah Kalfa and Naftali Kalfa, we may not make any distributions until these loans made under the loan agreements are repaid in full. At this time, such loans have not been repaid in full. The declaration and payment of any cash dividends in the future will be determined by our board of directors, in its discretion, and will depend on a number of factors, including our earnings, capital requirements, overall financial condition and contractual restrictions, if any.

CAPITALIZATION

 

Set forth below is our cash and capitalization as of January 31, 2022:

The number of shares of common stock outstanding used in the table above is based on 4,188,837 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 31, 2022, after giving effect to a 1:10 reverse stock split, which the Company expects to implement prior to or after the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and excludes the following:

 

  2,190,683 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants as of April 30, 2022, with a weighted-average exercise price of $19.70 per share, such warrants do not include warrants issued related to the Gameface and PlaySight acquisitions and to Mike Ballardie and Yonah Kalfa, which are separately noted below;
     
  1,500,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants of Mike Ballardie and Yonah Kalfa, with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.01 per share;
     
  1,500,000 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2020 Plan as of April 30, 2022;
     
 

83,878 shares of common stock issuable related to make-whole provisions as of April 30, 2022;

any shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the representatives of the underwriters.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our securities in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of common stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after this offering.

 

Our historical net tangible book value as of January 31, 2022 was ($0.33), or $(3.28) (giving effect to the 1-for-10 reverse stock split that effectuated on June 14, 2022) per share of common stock. Our historical net tangible book value is the amount of our total tangible assets less our liabilities. Historical net tangible book value per share of common stock is our historical net tangible book value divided by the number of outstanding shares of common stock as of January 31, 2022.

 

Our pro forma net tangible book value as of January 31, 2022, was ($1.10) (giving effect to the 1-for-10 reverse stock split that effectuated on June 14, 2022) per share of common stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding common stock, after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments referenced under “Capitalization.”

 

After giving effect to the receipt of the net proceeds of this offering, at the public offering price of $4.00 per share of common stock, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of January 31, 2022, would have been ($0.80) per share of common stock. This amount represents an immediate increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.30 per share of common stock to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $4.80 per share of common stock to new investors purchasing common stock in this offering. We determine dilution by subtracting the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from the amount of cash that a new investor paid for a common stock.

 

The following table illustrates this dilution:

 

Public offering price per share of common stock  $4.00 
Net tangible book value per common stock as of January 31, 2022  $

(3.28

)
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of January 31, 2022  $(1.10)
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering  $

0.32

Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share, after this offering  $

(0.78

)
Dilution per share to new investors in this offering  $

4.78

 

 

The foregoing discussion and table do not take into account further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding warrants or other convertible securities having a per share exercise or conversion price less than the per share offering price to the public in this offering.

 

If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional common stock in this offering, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value after the offering would be ($0.73) per share, the increase in the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value to existing shareholders would be $0.05 per share, and the dilution to new investors would be $4.73 per share, in each case assuming a public offering price of $4.00 per share of common stock.

 

The number of shares of common stock used in the table above is based on 4,188,837 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 31, 2022 (subject to adjustment based on issuances of additional shares as applicable due to the rounding up of fractional shares resulting from the 1:10 reverse stock split) and excludes the following:

 

  2,190,683 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants as of April 30, 2022, with a weighted-average exercise price of $19.70 per share, such warrants do not include warrants issued related to the Gameface and PlaySight acquisitions and to Mike Ballardie and Yonah Kalfa, which are separately noted below;
     
  1,500,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants of Mike Ballardie and Yonah Kalfa, with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.01 per share;
     
  1,500,000 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2020 Plan as of April 30, 2022;
     
  83,878 shares of common stock issuable related to make-whole provisions as of April 30, 2022;

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to those set forth in “Risk Factors.”

 

Overview

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 12, 2015, as Lazex Inc. (“Lazex”). In August 2019, the majority owner of Lazex sold a controlling interest to Slinger Bag Americas Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Slinger Bag Americas”), which was 100% owned by Slinger Bag Ltd. (“SBL”), an Israeli company, for $332,239. In September 2019, SBL transferred its ownership of Slinger Bag Americas to Lazex and, as a result of these transactions, Lazex owned 100% of Slinger Bag Americas and the sole shareholder of SBL owned 20,000,000 shares of common stock (approximately 82%) of Lazex. In September 2019, Lazex changed its name to Slinger Bag Inc.

 

In October 2019, Slinger Bag Americas acquired control of Slinger Bag Canada, Inc., (“Slinger Bag Canada”) a Canadian company incorporated on November 3, 2017. There were no assets, liabilities or historical operations at Slinger Bag Canada.

 

In February 2020, Slinger Bag Americas became the 100% owner of SBL, along with SBL’s wholly owned subsidiary Slinger Bag International (UK) Limited. The owner of SBL contributed its SBL ownership interest to Slinger Bag Americas for no consideration.

 

On June 21, 2021, Slinger Bag Americas entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Charles Ruddy to acquire a 100% ownership stake in Foundation Sports Systems, LLC (“Foundation Sports”).

 

Effective February 25, 2020, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 to 300,000,000 via a four-to-one forward split of its outstanding shares of common stock.

 

Effective in April 2022, the Company changed its domicile from Nevada to Delaware and changed its name to Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. (“Connexa”).

 

At Connexa, we want to be a full stack/one-stop solution for Ball Sports, serving customers consuming sports content, participating in sports, teaching sports, and managing certain sports facilities. Our goal is to allow users to consume sports content through PlaySight, participate in sports through our Slinger Ball Launcher, learn through the analytics provided by Gameface, and assist in the management of tennis clubs through Foundation Sports. These various offerings form our Watch, Play, Learn platform.

 

We are a sports technology and media company. Our vision is to derive revenue from sports equipment sales and subscription services focused on our primary ball sports verticals of racquet sports (tennis, pickleball and padel), baseball / softball, and cricket as well as our secondary verticals including basketball, hockey, soccer and other sports. We aim to make participation in sports and consuming sports content fun, accessible and connected through our product portfolio of ball launchers, AI technology, performance video, performance analytics, live streaming, drills, practices, instructional content and insights and our facilities / membership management software capabilities.

 

Gameface Acquisition

 

On February 2, 2022, Slinger Bag Australia Pty Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Slinger Bag Americas Inc. (which, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Connexa) completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Gameface (“Gameface”) pursuant to share purchase agreements entered into with each of the shareholders of Gameface in exchange for the issuance and delivery of 604,586 shares of the Company’s common stock and ten-year warrants to purchase an additional 47,823 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.01 per share in each case, in reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof for transactions not involving a public offering and the safe harbors afforded by Rule 506 and Rule 902 thereunder, (collectively, the “Consideration Shares”) to the Gameface shareholders and the payment of $500,000 to Jalaluddin Shaik, who sold 306,050 shares of Gameface to the Company, to be made out of the proceeds of this offering in lieu of the issuance of shares of common stock of the Company valued at $35.00 per share that Mr. Shaik would otherwise have been entitled to receive. Gameface shareholders also have the opportunity to earn 100,000 additional shares of our common stock upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Gameface shareholders also were granted piggyback registration rights, which expire when any applicable Consideration Shares can be freely traded pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

 

The Company has retained 66,667 Consideration Shares as security for the obligations of Mr. Shaik and Divyaa Jalal, as trustees for the Jalaluddin Shaik Family Trust, in respect of any claim which may be made by or on behalf of the Company for breach of warranty or under an indemnity given under the terms of the share purchase agreements by August 2, 2023. The retained shares will be issued promptly after August 2, 2023, to the extent that the Company has not made any such claims by that date.

 

In addition, the Company agreed that it will provide working capital to Gameface up to the amount of $1,500,000 for the period between July 1, 2021 to December, 31, 2022 and Mr. Shaik will be appointed as a board observer of the Company to attend board meetings and receive information relevant to the matter(s) being discussed in the board meeting pursuant to a side letter in connection with Mr. Shaik’s service agreement with Gameface.

 

Consignment Transaction

 

On February 15, 2022, for and in consideration of $4 million the Company conveyed, sold, transferred, set over, assigned and delivered to Slinger Bag Consignment, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Consignor”), all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to 13,000 units of certain surplus inventory, including all components, parts, additions and accessions thereto (collectively, the “Consigned Goods”). The Company subsequently amended the purchase schedule to purchase the Consigned Goods from Consignor and make the following payments to Consignor:

 

  (a) Prior to March 15, 2022, the Company paid to Consignor $557,998 ($392.68 per consigned goods unit) for the purchase of 1,421 Consigned Goods.
     
  (b) On March 21, 2022, Consignee paid to Consignor $157,465 ($392.68 per consigned goods unit) for the purchase of 401 Consigned Goods.
     
  (c) On April 15, 2022, Consignee paid to Consignor $250,000 ($392.68 per consigned goods unit) for the purchase of 637 Consigned Goods.
     
  (d) On May 9, 2022, Consignee paid $200,000 to Consignor ($495 per consigned goods unit) for the purchase of 404 Consigned Goods.
     
  (e)

Starting May 16, 2022 and on every Monday following thereafter, Consignee agreed to generate a report of all sales of Consigned Goods during the preceding seven days and make prompt payment of the amount that equals $495 multiplied by the number of Consigned Goods Units sold during the relevant seven-day period (the “Weekly Consigned Goods Payments”). 

     
  (f) Consignee is required to purchase the remaining balance of the Consigned Goods Units within three business days after the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared to be effective for a Consigned Goods Purchase Price Final Payment sum (the “Final Payment”) that is equal to the Consigned Goods Purchase Price of $5.2 million minus the actual Consignee payments received by Consignor pursuant to the payment schedule described above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Registration Effectiveness Date does not occur on or before June 15, 2022, on June 16, 2022, Consignee shall, immediately pay to Consignor the Final Payment. Consignee has agreed to apply any money it receives from any debt or equity financing including but not limited to funds received in connection with Consignee’s listing on Nasdaq (the “Debt/Equity Funds”) to pay the Final Payment within two business days of receipt of such Debt/Equity Funds. The Consignee shall pay the Debt/Equity Funds to the Consignor prior to the payment of any Debt/Equity Funds to any other person, entity and/or otherwise paid prior to payment of the Debt/Equity Funds to Consignor.

 

42
 

 

As of May 20, 2022, the Company has repurchased 3,148 Consigned Goods Units for approximately $1.3 million, there are 7,875 units of Consigned Goods remaining to be purchased by the Company for a total price of approximately $3.9 million, and the Company expects to repurchase the remaining Consigned Goods immediately following the closing of this offering using a portion of the net proceeds from this offering. See Use of Proceeds.

 

PlaySight Acquisition

 

On October 21, 2021, the Company, SB Merger Sub Ltd. (“SB Merger Sub”), a private company formed under the laws of the State of Israel and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, PlaySight and Rohit Krishnan, in his capacity as the Shareholders’ Representative, entered into the PlaySight Agreement and on February 16, 2022, the parties to the PlaySight Agreement entered into an Addendum and Amendment to the PlaySight Agreement (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Amendment, the Company agreed to purchase a certain number of shares of its common stock from certain of PlaySight’s shareholders for a maximum aggregate liability of $1.44 million to cover certain Israeli tax obligations related to the transaction and to issue options (the “Options”) exercisable into 142,858 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain of PlaySight’s employees. The Options would vest at issuance, have an exercise price of $0.01 per share, and expire 10 years from the date of issuance.

 

On February 21, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of PlaySight, pursuant to the PlaySight Agreement, as amended. Under the terms of the PlaySight Agreement, as amended, PlaySight merged with and into SB Merger Sub, with PlaySight as the surviving entity in the merger. Immediately prior to the closing of the merger, (i) each option to purchase PlaySight common stock originally issued under an equity incentive plan of PlaySight and (ii) certain convertible notes, in each case, were converted into shares of PlaySight’s common stock, thus allowing such holders to receive the Company’s common stock in connection with the merger.

 

As a result of the merger, PlaySight is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the PlaySight Agreement, as amended, the Company issued 2,537,969 shares of the Company’s common stock to PlaySight’s shareholders, issued to certain of PlaySight’s employees options to purchase up to 142,858 shares of Company common stock, and used a cash sum equal to the value of 152,490 shares of the Company’s common stock ($2.2 million) to cover certain expenses. The PlaySight employee options vest at issuance, have an exercise price of $0.01 per share, and expire 10 years from issuance. The Agreement, as amended, also contemplates the Company issuing up to a maximum of 514,286 earn-out shares to certain shareholders and employees of PlaySight. Issuance of the earn-out shares is based on PlaySight’s annual recurring revenue at December 31, 2022, and is expected to be paid out in calendar year 2023.

 

On July 21, 2021, Slinger Bag Americas entered into a convertible loan agreement, under which PlaySight borrowed $2 million from the Company. This agreement was extinguished in connection with the closing of the merger.

Change in Domicile and Company Name

 

On March 15, 2022, the Company filed a definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the “Information Statement”). On March 18, 2022, the Information Statement was mailed to the Company’s stockholders. There were three actions described in the Information Statement:  a change in domicile from Nevada to Delaware; a change in the Company’s name to Connexa Sports Technologies Inc.; and a reverse stock split.

 

The change in domicile was effective as of April 7, 2022 in Delaware and April 8, 2022 in Nevada. The change in domicile had no effect on the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. For more information on stockholder rights under Delaware law and our capital structure, see “Description of Capital Stock.” The name change was approved by FINRA on May 13, 2022, and the Company’s ticker symbol changed to “CNXA” effective May 16, 2022.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

We effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split on June 14, 2022. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split and all such fractional interests were rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock. The conversion or exercise prices of our issued and outstanding convertible securities were adjusted accordingly. Share information presented in this prospectus, other than in our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and other historical share amounts, such as those issued in connection with acquisitions, have been adjusted to give effect to such reverse stock split.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). As a result of the transactions described above, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the combined results of Slinger Bag Inc., Slinger Bag Americas, Slinger Bag Canada, Slinger Bag UK and SBL for the years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020. The contribution of the net assets of SBL is reflected as an equity contribution at historical cost on May 1, 2019, the beginning of the earliest period in which the entities were under common control. There was no historical activity in Slinger Bag Americas or Slinger Bag Canada prior to May 1, 2019. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Valuation of Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of the cost (determined principally on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. The Company’s valuation of inventory includes inventory reserves for inventory that will be sold below cost and the impact of inventory shrink. Inventory reserves are based on historical information and assumptions about future demand and inventory shrink trends. It is possible that changes to inventory reserve estimates could be required in future periods due to changes in market conditions.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue for its performance obligation associated with its contracts with customers at a point in time once products are shipped. Amounts collected from customers in advance of shipping products ordered are reflected as deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s standard terms are non-cancelable and do not provide for the right-of-return, other than for defective merchandise covered under the Company’s standard warranty. The Company has not historically experienced any significant returns or warranty issues.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value, which prioritizes the inputs used in the methodologies of measuring fair value for assets and liabilities, is as follows:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3 — Unobservable pricing inputs in the market

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their categorization within the fair value hierarchy.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity. The Company’s derivative liabilities were calculated using Level 2 assumptions.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized.

 

44
 

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. If those net undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value or discounted expected cash flows of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. There was no impairment of long-lived assets identified during the year ended April 30, 2021 or 2020.

 

Valuation of Warrants

 

The Company grants warrants to key employees and executives as compensation on a discretionary basis. The Company also grants warrants in connection with certain note payable agreements and other key arrangements. The Company is required to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the measurement date and recognize as expense that value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest over the requisite service period.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which amends ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Net sales

 

Net sales increased by $78,097, or 2%, during the three months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2021. The increase is due to an increase in the number of new orders placed on the Company’s website and from its international distributors and fulfilled during the three months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2021 when the product was still relatively new to the market. As of January 31, 2022, we had deferred revenue of $18,508 representing amounts received for units that have not been shipped to customers. We expect these orders to be fulfilled and the sales to be recognized in the Company’s next fiscal quarter.

 

Cost of sales and Gross income

 

Cost of sales decreased by $11,063 during the three months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2021, which is primarily due to increased shipping costs in the prior year. Gross income increased by $89,160, or 10%, during the three months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2021 due to the increased sales and lower cost of sales.

 

Selling and marketing expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses increased by $568,316, or 162%, during the three months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2021. This increase is largely driven by an increase in social media advertising, sponsorships, and other investments in our public relations presence in the current year in order to drive sales and build brand awareness.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses, which primarily consist of compensation (including share-based compensation) and other employee-related costs, as well as legal fees and fees for professional services, increased by $1,556,875 during the three months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2021. This increase is primarily driven by a $504,093 increase in legal fees related to closing costs incurred as part of the acquisitions of PlaySight Interactive Ltd. and Gameface during the three months ended January 31, 2022 and filing fees related to our S-1 that was filed in January 2022 and other SEC filings. The remainder of the increase is largely due to an increase in compensation expense due to increased headcount to support the continued growth of the business as well as the acquisition of Foundation Sports in 2021.

 

Research and development costs

 

Research and development costs increased by $138,752 during the three months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2021. This increase is primarily driven by our investment in a new platform and app that will integrate AI technology to offer more value to our customers, as well as the continued development and testing of launchers for new ball sports that are expected to be brought to market in the future.

 

Other expense

 

Total other expense decreased $1,095,745 during the three months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2021. The decrease in expense was primarily due to the increased gain on the change in fair value of derivatives as well as a decrease in the loss on extinguishment of debt and related party interest expense as a result of lower related party debt balances year over year. These decreases were partially offset by the loss on the issuance of the Convertible Notes as well as an increase in amortization of debt discounts and interest expense, net due to the issuance of the Convertible Notes during the current year.

Net sales

 

Net sales increased $4,831,159, or 66%, during the nine months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2021. The increase is due to an increase in the number of new orders placed on the Company’s website and from its international distributors and fulfilled during the nine months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2021 when a large portion of the orders during the first three months of the year were related to the Kickstarter and Indiegogo crowdfunding campaigns initiated our fiscal year ended April 30, 2020.

 

Cost of sales and Gross income

 

Cost of sales increased $2.5 million, or 44%, during the nine months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2021, which was primarily due to the increase in net sales. Gross income increased $2,290,916, or 148%, during the nine months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2021.

 

The increase in gross margin is largely due to the first quarter of the prior year resulting in a gross loss on net sales due to (1) discounted pricing on the initial crowdfunding orders, (2) as fulfilment was later than initially scheduled we fulfilled orders with the “deluxe” version of launcher (including all features), as well as tennis balls, both of which increased cost of sales, and (3) due to sanctions by the U.S. against Chinese sourced products, the import duty was raised on all launchers brought into the U.S. increasing our cost of sales. As a result, our cost of sales exceeded initial sales values raised in our crowdfunding campaigns. As of the beginning of the third quarter in the prior year, substantially all of the initial crowdfunding orders had been fulfilled.

Selling and marketing expenses

 

Selling and marketing expenses increased $1,463,282, or 139%, during the nine months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2021. This increase is largely driven by an increase in social media advertising, sponsorships, and other investments in our public relations presence in the current year in order to drive sales and build brand awareness.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses, which primarily consist of compensation (including share-based compensation) and other employee-related costs, as well as legal fees and fees for professional services, increased $38,560,784 during the nine months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2021. This increase is primarily driven by an increase of $32,569,112 of share-based compensation related to warrants granted to employees, a $1,264,590 increase in expense related to shares and warrants issued in connection with services the majority of which relate to the warrants issued to the lead placement agent as part of the issuance of the Convertible Notes and shares and warrants issued to brand ambassadors, and a $1,000,000 increase in legal fees related to closing costs incurred as part of the acquisitions of PlaySight Interactive Ltd. and Gameface during the nine months ended January 31, 2022. The remainder of the increase is largely due to an increase in compensation expense due to increased headcount to support the continued growth of the business as well as the acquisition of Foundation Sports in 2021.

 

Research and development costs

 

Research and development costs increased $372,569 during the nine months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2021. This increase is primarily driven by our investment in a new platform and app that will integrate AI technology to offer more value to our customers, which we began developing in December 2020, as well as the continued development and testing of launchers for new ball sports that are expected to be brought to market in the future.

 

Other expense

 

Total other expense increased $1,335,836 during the nine months ended January 31, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to the loss on the issuance of the Convertible Notes, an increase in loss on extinguishment of debt as a result of the conversion of the notes payable – related party and increases in amortization of debt discounts and interest expense, net due to the issuance of the Convertible Notes during the nine months ended January 31, 2022. These increases were partially offset by an increased gain on the change in fair value of derivatives as well as a decrease in induced conversion loss and related party interest expense as a result of lower related party debt balances year over year.

Net sales

 

Our net sales during the year ended April 30, 2021 were $10,804,214, which consisted partially of shipped orders related to our Kickstarter and Indiegogo crowdfunding campaigns initiated in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, as well as new orders placed and fulfilled to consumers via our online marketplace and to our international distributors. Our net sales during the year ended April 30, 2020 were $686,179 and were entirely related to our crowdfunding campaigns. As of April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020, we had deferred revenue of $99,531 and $179,366, respectively, representing units that have not been shipped at year end.

 

Cost of sales

 

Our cost of sales during the year ended April 30, 2021 were $7,680,290, which represents the costs of units shipped during the period, and resulted in a gross profit of $3,123,924, or 29%. During the first quarter of the current year, we experienced a gross loss as the bulk of our sales in that period related to the shipment of initial crowdfunding orders. The loss on these shipments was due to (1) discounted pricing on the initial crowdfunding orders, (2) as fulfillment was later than initially scheduled we fulfilled orders with the “deluxe” version of launcher (including all features), as well as tennis balls, both of which increased costs, and (3) due to sanctions by the U.S. against Chinese sourced products, the import duty was raised on all launchers brought into the U.S. increasing our cost of sales. As a result, our cost of sales exceeded initial sales values raised in our crowdfunding campaigns. As of the beginning of the third quarter, substantially all of the initial crowdfunding orders had been fulfilled. Sales generated during the last two fiscal quarters represented new orders placed and fulfilled during the current year by consumers and distributors, which resulted in a positive gross profit. Currently, our cost of sales is being negatively impacted by the large increase in container costs out of Asia. Our cost of sales during the year ended April 30, 2020 were $1,370,897, and resulted in a gross loss of $684,718 for the reasons stated above relating to our crowdfunding orders.

 

Selling and marketing expenses

 

During the year ended April 30, 2021, we incurred selling and marketing expenses of $1,761,154 compared with $563,003 during the year ended April 30, 2020. This increase is largely driven by an increase in social media advertising, sponsorships, and other investments in our public relations presence in order to drive sales and build brand awareness.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation, including share-based compensation, and other employee-related costs, as well as legal fees and fees for professional services. During the year ended April 30, 2021, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $4,749,922 compared with $5,291,075 during the year ended April 30, 2020. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is largely due to a one-time warrant grant to key employees and officers of the Company in the prior year that resulted in an expense of $3,741,746, which was partially offset in the current year by an increase in compensation expense due to increased headcount as a result of the continued growth of the business.

Research and development costs

 

During the year ended April 30, 2021, we incurred research and development costs of $339,385 compared with $179,982 during the year ended April 30, 2020. This increase is mainly driven by our investment in a new platform and app that will integrate AI technology to offer more value to our customers.

 

Transaction costs

 

During the year ended April 30, 2020, we incurred transaction costs associated with completing the Stock Purchase Agreement with Slinger Bag Americas, as well as additional professional fees associated with being a publicly traded company.

 

Other expenses

 

During the years ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020, we had other expenses totalling $14,868,223 and $2,310,523, respectively. The increase in other expenses for the year ended April 30, 2021 as compared to April 30, 2020 was primarily due to increases in loss on extinguishment of debt of $3,030,495 and induced conversion loss of $51,412 due to debt extinguishment transactions during the year, increases in related party interest expense due to the increase in related party note payable balances during the year, and the increase in interest expense due to the $12,501,178 charge related to the warrants and make-whole provision that were issued in conjunction with a note payable that was entered into during the year. These increases were partially offset by decreases in amortization of debt discount of $1,188,668 and the gain on the change in fair value of derivatives for the year ended April 30, 2021 of $1,939,639.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Nine Months Ended January 31, 2022 and 2021

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. We had an accumulated deficit of $73,454,066 as of January 31, 2022, and more losses are anticipated in the development of the business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating profitable operations in the future and/or being able to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from related parties, and/or private placement or registered offerings of debt and/or equity securities. In respect to additional financing, refer to Notes to the Financial Statements 5, 6, 7, and 12 for the nine months ended January 31, 2022 that is included elsewhere in this prospectus. In the event that the Company is unable to successfully raise capital and/or generate revenues, the Company will likely reduce general and administrative expenses, and cease or delay its development plan until it is able to obtain sufficient financing. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

 

The following is a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021:

Description of Indebtedness

 

Loan Agreements

 

On January 14, 2022, we entered into two loan agreements with Yonah Kalfa and Naftali Kalfa, each for $1 million, pursuant to which we received a total amount of $2 million. The loans bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and we have agreed to repay the loans in full by July 3, 2022, or such other date as may be accepted by the lenders. We are not permitted to make any distribution or pay any dividends unless or until the loans are repaid in full

 

On April 1, 2022, we entered into a loan agreement with Midcity Capital Ltd. pursuant to which we received $0.5 million. The loan bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum and is required to be repaid in full by July 1, 2022 or such other date as may be accepted by the lender. We are not permitted to make any distribution or pay any dividends unless or until this loan is repaid in full. We expect to use a portion of the net proceeds of this offering repay this loan. See Use of Proceeds.

 

There were $2.5 million in outstanding borrowings from the Company’s related parties as of April 30, 2022. Accrued interest due to these related parties as of April 30, 2022 amounted to $0.9 million.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement and Convertible Notes

 

On August 6, 2021, the Company consummated the closing of a private placement offering pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and certain accredited investors. At closing, the Company sold (i) 8% Senior Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $11 million and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 7,333,334 shares of our common stock. The Company received an aggregate of $11 million in gross proceeds from this private placement, before deducting offering expenses and commissions. The 8% Senior Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of common stock at any time following the date of issuance and prior to mandatory conversion (as defined in the Notes) at the conversion price equal to the lesser of: (i) $30.00, subject to adjustment set forth in the 8% Senior Convertible Notes and (ii) in the case of an uplist to the Nasdaq, the uplist conversion price (as defined in the 8% Senior Convertible Notes) of our common stock.

 

The Company used the net proceeds from this transaction for working capital purposes and to pay the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest through August 6, 2021 of the $2 million secured term promissory note dated April 15, 2021 that bore interest at the rate of 15% per annum to SB Invesco LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company.

 

Spartan Capital Securities, LLC served as placement agent for the private placement.

 

The convertible notes mature on August 6, 2022, and bear interest at 8% per annum payable on each conversion date (as to that principal amount then being converted), on each redemption date as well as mandatory redemption date (as to that principal amount then being redeemed) and on the maturity date, in cash. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time following the date of issuance and prior to Mandatory Conversion (as defined in the convertible notes) at the conversion price equal to the lesser of: (i) $30.00, subject to adjustment and (ii) in the case of an up-list to the Nasdaq, the up-list Conversion Price (as defined in the convertible notes) of the Company’s common stock during the two trading day period after each conversion date; provided, however, that at any time from and after December 31, 2021 or upon an Event of Default (as defined in the convertible notes), the holder had the right, by delivery of written notice to the Company, elect to cause all, or any part, of the notes to be converted, at any time thereafter, all, or any part of, the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes into shares of common stock at the alternate conversion price. The convertible notes rank pari passu with all other notes now or thereafter issued under the terms set forth in the convertible notes. The convertible notes contain certain price protection provisions providing for adjustment of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion in case of certain future dilutive events or stock-splits and dividends, including the reverse stock split we contemplating effectuation prior to or upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The notes issued in the August 6, 2021 private placement will automatically convert into shares of common stock at $3.20 per share upon the closing of the offering.

 

52
 

 

The warrants are exercisable for five years from August 6, 2021, at an exercise price equal to the lesser of $30.00 or a 20% discount to the public offering price that a share of the Company’s common stock or unit (if units are offered) is offered to the public resulting in the commencement of trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq, New York Stock Exchange or NYSE American. Accordingly, upon completion of this offering the exercise price of the warrants issued in the August 6, 2021 private placement will be reset to a $3.20 in accordance with the terms of the warrants. The warrants contain certain price protection provisions providing for adjustment of the amount of securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants in case of certain future dilutive events or stock-splits and dividends, including the reverse stock split we contemplating effectuation prior to or upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

The Company’s obligations in this transaction are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company’s obligations under the convertible notes are jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by its subsidiaries.

 

In connection with this transaction, the Company agreed to register the shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the convertible notes and the warrants for resale under the Securities Act. The Company filed registration statement with the SEC on September 8, 2021 and that registration statement was declared effective on January 27, 2022. However, additional sales of our common shares in the public market after the date hereof could occur as convertible notes and warrants for resale were not fully registered by the resale registration statement that we filed on September 8, 2021. Because the public offering price of our common stock in this offering causes the conversion price to be below approximately $15.00 per share at the time of the closing of this offering, additional conversion shares will need to be registered. The new registration statement will cover both the shares originally registered for resale and the new conversion shares.

 

Omnibus Amendment to Purchase Agreement

 

On December 31, 2021, the Company entered into an Omnibus Amendment Agreement with certain convertible note holders who collectively held 67% or more of the convertible notes and warrants outstanding on August 6, 2021, amending the original purchase agreement and the Company’s registration obligations. Simultaneously with the execution of the Omnibus Amendment Agreement, the Company issued to each convertible noteholder a replacement note in replacement of the convertible note held prior to December 31, 2021 by such noteholder.

 

The original purchase agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) delete Exhibit A and replace it in its entirety with a replacement 8% Senior Convertible Note, (ii) add a new definition of “Inventory Financing”, (iii) amend Section 4.18 to add at the end of Section 4.18 before the final period “, it being agreed that the provisions of this Section 4.18 shall not apply to the Qualified Subsequent Financing expected to occur after the date hereof”, (iv) delete Section 4.20 and replace it in its entirety with substantially the same text, including the following after the period, replacing the period with a semicolon: “; provided that the provisions of this Section 4.20 shall not apply to (i) in respect of any Holder to the extent that such Holder is an investor or a purchaser of the securities offered pursuant such Subsequent Financing, and (ii) with respect to an Inventory Financing.”, and (v) add a new section as follows: “4.21. Most-Favored Nation. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any new security, with any term that a majority of the holders of the outstanding Principal Amount of Notes, reasonably believe is more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that a majority of the holders of the outstanding Principal Amount of Notes reasonably believe was not similarly provided to the Purchasers in the Notes, the Warrant, or under this Agreement, then (i) the Company shall notify each Note holder of such additional or more favorable term within one (1) business day of the issuance or amendment (as applicable) of the respective security, and (ii) such term, at the option of a majority of the holders of the outstanding Principal Amount of Notes, shall become a part of the Transaction Documents (regardless of whether the Company complied with the notification provision of this Section). The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing conversion discounts, prepayment rate, conversion lookback periods, interest rates, and original issue discounts. If a majority of the holders of the outstanding Principal Amount of Notes elects to have the term become a part of the Transaction Documents, then the Company shall immediately deliver acknowledgment of such adjustment to the Note holder (the “Acknowledgment”) within one (1) business day of Company’s receipt of request from Investor (the “Adjustment Deadline”), provided that Company’s failure to timely provide the Acknowledgement shall not affect the automatic amendments contemplated hereby.”

 

As consideration for entering into the Omnibus Amendment Agreement, the outstanding principal balance of each convertible note holder was increased by twenty percent (20%) and such increased principal balance is reflected on the replacement note issued to each convertible noteholder.

 

After giving effect to this increase in principal amount, total outstanding borrowings related to the convertible notes as of January 31, 2022 was $13.2 million, excluding any interest due on the convertible notes at such time. The outstanding amount is net of discounts of $5.6 million for a net book value of $7.6 million as of January 31, 2022.

 

Note Payable

 

On April 15, 2021, the Company entered into a $2 million note payable. On August 6, 2021, the Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the convertible notes to pay 100% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of this note.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Effect of Inflation and Changes in Prices

 

We do not believe that inflation and changes in prices will have a material effect on our operations.

BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Sports are evolving. Technology is driving a fundamental change across all sports – from playing and training to watching and consuming. Sports technology has been a growing presence in the sports market for the past 10 years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen what we believe is a mass adoption of automated technologies. As part of this shift, we believe consumers have moved towards technologies that monitor health, sports performance and fitness, in order to improve their overall fitness. We have also seen professional and collegiate sports embracing technology to analyze performance. We believe the Connexa platform is well-suited to serve this evolving adoption of technology to monitor and enhance fitness and performance across various sports.

 

At Connexa, we want to be a full stack/one-stop solution for ball sports, serving customers who play and teach sports, consume sports content, and manage sports facilities. Our goal is to allow users to consume sports content through PlaySight, participate in sports through our Slinger Ball Launcher, learn through the analytics provided by Gameface, and assist in the management of tennis clubs through Foundation. These various offerings form our Watch, Play, Learn platform.

 

We are a sports technology and media company. Our vision is to derive revenue from sports equipment sales and subscription services focused on our primary ball sports verticals of racquet sports (tennis, pickleball and padel), baseball / softball and cricket, as well as our secondary verticals, such as basketball, hockey and soccer. We aim to make participation in sports and consuming sports content fun, accessible and connected through our product portfolio of ball launchers, AI technology, performance video, performance analytics, live streaming of drills, practices and instructional content, and our facilities / membership management software capabilities.

 

Evolution of Connexa

 

The Connexa journey began in mid-2018 with the founding of Slinger Bag Americas Inc.

 

 

We aimed to produce an affordable and portable tennis ball launcher targeted at individual users. Slinger Bag began sales of its tennis ball launcher in 2020. Since then, we believe Slinger Bag has become a brand recognized by tennis players world-wide. We attribute our growth in part to our deep understanding of tennis as a sport and of the tennis enthusiast, coupled with a knowledge and know-how that allow us to create a product that we believe exceeds the expectations of tennis players of all abilities. In building the brand, we believe it has created a group of passionate consumers who constantly support and promote the Slinger Bag brand. Various tennis governing bodies and country tennis federations have sought partnerships with Slinger Bag. We believe Slinger Bag has contributed to the significant growth of tennis over the past few years, by facilitating more players, playing more tennis, more often.

 

Connexa management believes it identified an opportunity to use the consumer support for the Slinger Bag brand to broaden Connexa’s brand and offerings to tennis enthusiasts. This brand vision is based on providing a range of products and subscription services that casual, core and avid tennis players can use to enhance their enjoyment of the sport. These new services are built around the concept of Watch, Play, Learn – a platform allowing customers to watch and consume tennis content, making playing tennis more accessible, and enabling tennis instruction and learning.

 

Connexa management believes that it will be able to mirror the Watch, Play, Learn, concept in sports verticals other than tennis, including other racquet sports such as pickleball and padel as well as across other high participation sports such as baseball, softball and cricket. Slinger Bag plans to enter with disruptive, innovative ball launchers for sports verticals other than tennis over the next few years. Through this vision, the Company hopes to build a significant user and subscriber base at the heart of each of its target sport verticals.

With the Slinger Bag brand, through its tennis ball launchers, offering the Play element of our new Watch, Play, Learn concept, Connexa management researched and identified target companies to acquire that had technologies required to transform Slinger Bag from an equipment-only business to a sports technology and media-led company, delivering the Watch and Learn elements of the Watch, Play, Learn, concept.

 

In mid-2021, we closed our initial acquisition of Foundation Sports, a software company that would provide access to an existing market of consumers who could be cross-marketed both Slinger Bag and new subscription services through their engagement with the Foundation Sports software to book tennis court time slots. Foundation Sports has seen over 30 million transactions, each transaction representing an individual booking playing time at tennis clubs, processed by over 700,000 persons using its system.

 

Foundation Sports also forms a key part of the Play element of our strategy by allowing its subscribers to reserve time at tennis courts through its platform and other sports facilities and streamlining the management of sports facilities by automating and moving to the cloud what was previously a manual process of calling and reserving time at sports facilities.

 

 

In early 2022, we closed the acquisitions of both Gameface and PlaySight.

 

55
 

 

Gameface initially focused on the cricket and soccer markets, where it has built an automated platform to extract various data points from a live and archived match footage. Gameface is in its early stages of start-up and has its small team dedicated to supporting its already existing cricket product and the Slinger tennis App.

 

Gameface will be at the center of the Learn element of our strategy and we believe will enhance the smart analytics for all of our brands across all of our sport verticals.

 

Tel Aviv-based PlaySight has been involved in tennis since its inception in 2010 and is established in computer vision technology. Outside of tennis, PlaySight has built a portfolio of customers consisting of professional teams, elite colleges, academies, schools and facilities across multiple sports. In order to fulfil its vision of democratizing advanced sports technologies and bringing it to every field, sport and level, with different and challenging environmental conditions and high variability among customers, PlaySight developed automated broadcast production, live streaming and performance video technology that is low-cost and easy to install and can be run without a dedicated operator. Its core connected camera product is software based and uses single cameras and a computer installed on a court, field, gym or sports facility. The system tracks, in real time, the ball and the players, analyzes movement and activity and uploads all the data and video to an athlete/coach’s account for further review and analysis.

 

56
 

 

Following a series of discussions with the PlaySight board of directors, it became clear that PlaySight would be the ideal company to deliver the Watch element of our new brand strategy.

 

 

To help deliver this full vision in April 2022, Connexa was created to drive the evolution to a disruptive and differentiated connected sports platform, delivered to players through the Slinger (Connexa) App, by providing unique player performance and gametime analytic feedback through automated video and data capture, performance AI, professional level insights, instructional content and practice drills, all aimed at improving the performance and enjoyment of each and every player.

 

Our management team has a proven pedigree over many years in building brands, products and businesses on a global scale. Both our corporate and our brand management teams have knowledge, experience, know-how and expertise across sport as a whole and through sports technology specifically.

 

Connexa has inherited a number of significant investment partners, such as Softbank Ventures Asia, Unbound, Verizon Ventures, Naver and the Great White Shark Opportunity Fund as well as a group of household tennis legends and business people. These names include George Mackin who is now investor in the Company. Connexa has a strong ambassador team that includes Tommy Haas, Robert Bryan, Eugenie Bouchard, Anna Ivanovic, Darren Cahill, Patrick Mouratoglou and Nick Bollettieri. Connexa has strong partnerships across sports with elite and professional teams across multiple sports, organization partners such as IMG Academy, USTA’s National Campus, Lakepoint Sports, The Intercollegiate Tennis Association, governing bodies and federations.

 

Slinger Bag alone has generated over $25 million in revenue since July 2020, sold 45,000 Slinger Bags to tennis players and built a network of distribution in over 45 countries. Gameface brings real-time analysis and event recognition from match situation all through a single camera. . The accuracy of the real-time analysis and event recognition feature of the camera has been verified by VICON (the gold standard for motion capture testing) as being 93% accurate. Foundation Sports has seen over 30 million transactions (bookings) processed by over 700,000 persons using its system. Square has recognized Foundation Sports as its affiliate partner across the Health, Wellness and Sport sectors.

 

57
 

 

With the rapid expansion of 5G services and faster broadband, our belief is that eventually all sport courts, fields, gyms, pitches and alike will become “Smart” – connected through smart cameras. One of our companies, PlaySight, is involved in vision based camera technology and we hope to become a key driver and an enabler of these sports facilities becoming “Smart”.

 

We are building a fully integrated technology and media based connected platform of products and services to serve today’s sports consumer with live streaming, video-on-demand, performance analytics powered by AI, training and practice insights, OTT channel services and to also provide sports technology access to players of all ages and abilities, whether members of private facilities or with access to public facilities.

 

In building out our connected platform, we believe Connexa will become a sought-after strategic partner for multiple industry segments which include: betting service providers; federations, which are National Governing Bodies (NGBs) that we believe every market globally has its own, such as the United States Tennis Association (USTA); high performance centers, which are centers of elite sport, e.g. IMG Academy; elite/pro teams, which include 200 collegiate and professional team across NBA, NHL, MLB and other sports leagues; infrastructure providers, which are court builders, such as Sportgroup-Holding; and license operators, which are third-party companies that could provide the Company with daily management / operation for non-core sport verticals in exchange for an annual license fee. We aim to take advantage of all of these opportunities over the coming few years.

The Connexa Vision

 

Whatever sport you play or follow, you will likely find value across any combination of our Watch, Play, Learn vision.

 

  WATCH: Automated production, live streaming of practices, matches, lessons, tournaments and all sporting moments and events. OTT capabilities provide management, generation and curation of content for fan engagement and digital marketing as well supporting strategic partnerships across betting, federation, event and other data and media users. PlaySight, our new subsidiary, is involved in vision and camera technology and global sports video production and live streaming, and, as such, will lead the Watch category for Connexa.
     
  PLAY: Making sports more accessible to players of all ages and abilities through its Slinger Bag Ball Launcher facilitates more play occasions, by more players, more often as a result. Play will be supported by performance analytics, match insights, e-coaching tips and practice, drill and fitness recommendations specific to each sport. Powered by AI and coaching insights from a highly respected stable of global ambassadors; a facility / membership software that enhances facility revenue generation, supports court bookings and increases overall participation and interaction of the member base. Our disruptive and innovative Slinger Bag Ball Launcher together with our Foundation Sports’ facility management software will lead the Play category for Connexa.
     
  LEARN: Through the continuous generation of relevant content, content that has been specifically curated from across all available technologies, products, partners and ambassadors within our ecosystem to analyze, inform and motivate, Connexa intends to be a “partner” to players by providing both improvement in overall performance (e.g., through its sports analytics app that will both analyze a subscriber’s technique in the relevant sport and propose improvements) as well as a deeper appreciation and enjoyment of each specific Sport. Gameface is at the heart of the Connexa connected sports platform and will be central to powering all of our brands insights and learning capabilities. We believe Gameface will provide access to analytics and other performance data from which players will learn about their performance and improve it by building an automated AI platform to analyze and extract data from sport videos across racquet sports, baseball, softball, cricket and other sport verticals. Gameface’s core capabilities may be delivered through compatible installed camera or mobile camera phone, which allows the company to build consumer-friendly and scalable solutions for the sports market without relying on specific hardware or camera types.

 

 

Connexa Team

 

The Connexa Team is built around the following individuals:

 

 

Connexa - Total Addressable Market

 

We believe Connexa has a wide, varied and growing addressable market for its products and services. The macro trends across sports and sports technology, AI, sports betting and youth sports growth highlight the opportunity ahead. With infrastructure across courts, fields, pitches and rinks across the globe expected to become “Smart” (i.e., connected to the internet with events, games and matches to be broadcast over the internet and using AI-based performance analytics) over the next few years, the sports technology market, currently valued at $17.9 billion, is projected to grow to over $40.2 billion by 2028, with over 40% of that growth coming from North America. The proliferation of 5G and improved camera technology is leading to widespread consumer adoption of AI technologies and expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 30.3% through 2030. Connexa also plays in the sports betting market in partnership with strategic partners such as Sportradar and Genius Sports by providing live stream services via Sportradar and Genius Sports for betting companies. These companies are rights holders who are the facilitators of live streaming of events for the betting companies. They require a camera/data partner such as Connexa (or others) to deliver the live stream and to provide real-time data intersting to be consumed by betting customers. Sports betting is opening up across the US and by October 2021 was seeing $7 billion a month in online wagering. Youth sports (a $19 billion market today) is also a large market and is estimated to be over $70 billion by 2026 with these younger consumers becoming instrumental to the rise of sports technology applications and the growth in e-sports. The global sports equipment market where Slinger Bag competes was valued at $331.4 billion in 2021 and we believe we are well-positioned to build products and services needed and desired by each of these markets.

 

59
 

 

Tennis is already experiencing rapid global growth right now, with a 22% year-over-year participation growth in 2020. There are 87 million players worldwide, with 21 million of those considering themselves to be ‘avid’, playing at least 1 time per month. This enthusiast base is our key target in the sport.

 

Connexa, through its connected sports platform, including Foundation Sports, Gameface, PlaySight and Slinger Bag Americas, already has over 1 million users – the majority from the sport of tennis. We believe we have the capability to build a marketplace to serve our consumers.

 

 

The Revenue Opportunity

 

The Connexa business addresses five distinct sports market channels: elite/professional teams & colleges; high performance academies and federations; schools, leagues and teams; clubs, facilities, infrastructure and strategics; and end consumers.

 

PlaySight will work to enhance its sales organization in order to expand its primary focus and reach within the professional teams and college channels through a ramping up of camera installations across multiple sports. We believe doing so will drive increased revenues from each professional and college partnership. Through layering Gameface analytics over the PlaySight video feed, we believe that a new revenue opportunity will be created by selling data on top of the video feed. In other words, users that watch the video feed will be offered and may purchase data and analytics. Second, PlaySight will have access to our established sales team (shared across PlaySight, Foundation Sports and Slinger Bag) that will be dedicated to visiting tennis facilities across the United States, by making similar technology used at the elite teams and colleges level available at the local club/facility level.

 

Likewise, Foundation Sports will share this sales organization to showcase their facility software, which will offer the Slinger Bag as a training partner at the facility. We believe this final link will make the Connexa group an integral partner to US-based tennis facilities.

 

Additionally, Slinger Bag expects further invest in paid digital advertising to widen its reach across multiple social media marketing platforms using an array of digital marketing tools and programs at its disposal to drive its primary equipment revenue growth. This will be especially important for the anticipated introduction of the new pickleball and padel launchers in Fall 2022.

 

The launch of the Slinger (Connexa) App for analytics, drills, practices and instructional content along with the repositioning and branding of the PlaySight OTT network to ConnexaTV, both planned for the late 2022 / early 2023 and the offer and sales of subscriptions to such Apps. We believe these efforts will facilitate our the opportunity to cross our existing users and subscribers with new services.

Our Brands, Products and Technology

 

Our portfolio companies are at very different stages of their development.

 

Slinger Bag

 

Slinger Bag was founded in 2018 on a tennis court in Israel. The premise of the Slinger Bag Launcher is built around 3 simple concepts – transportability, versatility and affordability. Slinger Bag Launcher specifically targets the regular tennis players who are non-elite players and do not have regular access to state-of-the-art facilities. It was deliberately called a ‘Ball Launcher’ and not a ‘Ball Machine’ in order to differentiate it from the traditional, cumbersome, heavy and difficult to use ball machines found in most facilities.

 

The Slinger Bag Launcher is a high-performance ball launcher built into a trolley bag. It weighs 15Kg / 33lbs and is highly portable. It was designed to fit into the trunk of a smart car, to carry all types of tennis gear and rackets as well as up to 144 tennis balls. It is powered by an interchangeable Lithium Battery that will last up to 3.5 hours (dependent on use). The Slinger Bag Launcher costs $700 in the United States market, about the price of two performance tennis racquets.

 

Slinger Bag operates a direct-to-consumer business in North America which benefits Slinger Bag with their market reach to the core and avid market of tennis players. Outside of North America, Slinger Bag has distribution partners across 45 markets. We believe each distribution partner has all-important strategic relationships within the tennis community.

 

Having shipped the first ever Slinger Bag Launcher to a paying consumer in July 2020, Slinger Bag has generated in excess of $25 million in revenues since then. In North America alone we are averaging $35,000 in orders per day.

 

PlaySight Interactive

 

Founded in 2010, PlaySight brings the advanced capabilities to all levels of sport, all over the world: automated production and live streaming, video replay (VAR), pro level coaching tools, and a live and an on-demand sports OTT channel.

 

Selected in both 2017 and 2018 by Fast Company as one of the 10 Most Innovative Companies in Sports, PlaySight has developed an autonomous, affordable, and scalable technology platform, accessible to any player and level. Powered by camera technology, proprietary AI and deep learning algorithms, PlaySight’s “SmartCourt” (field, gym, rink, pool, and more) platform connects the physical on-court activities and the digital world. PlaySight technology also serves as an important tool to encourage youth to engage in sports in a meaningful and active way, giving them the same tools, video, and training opportunities previously only accessible by the most elite athletes.

 

PlaySight’s platform is powering over multiple sports (from tennis, baseball and basketball to hockey, soccer, swimming, wrestling and more), with 10,000 camera installations across 2,000 courts, pitches, fields and rinks. Although PlaySight has a presence in over 30 countries, its core business is in the USA where it has amassed hundreds of thousands of “users” (athletes and coaches, and increasingly parents and fans). Customers also include 19 NBA teams that use PlaySight for all performance video and training needs.

 

 

Today PlaySight operates a B2B business servicing numerous customers and installed cameras on courts, fields and pitches mainly across the USA. Under Connexa we plan to focus both organic growth within the current channel and customer base, extending our reach across multiple sports within each customer environment, as well as further democratizing the technology down to high schools, clubs, federations and in doing so driving shared revenue through OTT channel media, content and data partnerships. We plan to launch PlaySight mobile systems which are accessible through apps on handheld and other portable devices late 2022 or early 2023, working toward our ultimate objective to provide services to individual players and consumers.

Foundation Sports

 

From its inception, Foundation Sports has been in the business of developing software for the tennis industry

 

Foundation Sports’s software and products include:

 

  A B2B software as a service facilities management system encompassing reservations, booking, event (camp and clinic) enrollment, group email marketing and integrated web site hosting/builder platform collectively called The Foundation.
  An IOS and Android app platform allowing racquet sports facilities to offer ‘their own’ (B2C) app that provides consumer facing reservations, enrollments, contact management, and game arranging capabilities. The Company is an authorized app store developer for worldwide distribution with both Apple and Google.
  TennisPOS, an integrated point of sale and payments system supporting court reservations and pricing, events & enrollment management, and member administration. TennisPOS is integrated with the Square payments eco-system. The company is a Square platform development partner.

 

Foundation Sports’s products help reduce operation costs increase player participation and new player growth at tennis facilities managed in public parks, commercial clubs, private/member equity owned clubs (country clubs, swim and tennis clubs, homeowners’ associations), academies and schools & universities.

 

Gameface

 

Gameface is providing access to analytics data by building an automated AI platform to analyze and extract data from sport videos across tennis, baseball, cricket and other sport verticals. Gameface’s core capabilities are delivered through compatible cameras or camera phones, which allows the company to build consumer-friendly and scalable solutions for the sports market without relying on specific hardware or camera types.

 

Gameface initially focused on the cricket and soccer markets, where it has built an automated platform to extract various data points from live and archived match footage.

 

While the Company, as a whole, has been more focused on the racquet sports verticals, we have since expanded our platform capabilities which now includes technique analysis that allows athletes to get personalized insights on their playing technique within sport verticals of racquet sports (tennis, pickleball and padel), baseball, softball and cricket as well as secondary team-based sports such as basketball, hockey, soccer and other sports. In August 2020, Gameface entered into an exclusive partnership with Khaitan Tech Holdings that involves legendary Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag to build and market a cricket technique analysis app in India.

 

For the cricket players, this Gameface powered app analyzes and compares a players cricket stroke playing technique that is captured on a mobile phone and provide a comprehensive break down and feedback on how to improve such player’s stroke based on certain bio mechanical data captured by the AI.

 

Cricket is the second most popular sport in the world, and India is the biggest market for cricket. The global cricket market is regarded by industry experts, governing organizations and cricket-specific market research companies as having 300 million active players globally, with many consumers again being avid fans of the sport. Of this 300 million cricket player market, 54 million players are in India. The Gameface – Khaitan Tech/Sehwag partnership is focused on penetrating this market in India.

 

Connexa is developing a tennis app for players of all ages and abilities that will provide a wide range of analytics and other services. We expect to offer some services free of charge and will build a tiered subscription model for others. The beta version of the app has been released with the full version anticipated in late 2022 or early 2023. Gameface intends to build and license similar products for other sports, including baseball, basketball, and soccer.

History of Our Company

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 12, 2015 as “Lazex Inc.” From its inception until September 13, 2019, the Company was in the business of providing travel consulting and tour guide services. On September 16, 2019, Slinger Bag Americas acquired 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from its then shareholders. On September 16, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Slinger Bag Americas when the then owner of Slinger Bag Americas contributed her shares of Slinger Bag Americas to the Company in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of the Company. The result of the foregoing transactions is that Slinger Bag Americas became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. From September 16, 2019, the Company ceased its performance of travel consulting and tour guide services and has switched its focus to the development of the technologies and products owned by Slinger Bag Americas and its affiliates.

 

On February 10, 2020, Slinger Bag Americas acquired a 100% ownership stake in Slinger Bag Ltd (“SBL”). SBL owns the intellectual property rights pertaining to the Slinger Launcher (described more fully below) and was responsible for the Kickstarter campaign described more fully below.

 

On February 25, 2020, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 7,500,000 to 30,000,000 and effected a 4-1 forward split of its outstanding shares of common stock. Approval of the Company’s stockholders was not required to be obtained, as authorized by Nevada Revised Statute Section 78.207, et seq. The forward split became effective on February 25, 2020. As a result of the forward stock split, each share of the Company’s common stock outstanding was split into four shares of the Company’s common stock. All references in this report to numbers of shares reflect the Company’s 4-1 forward split.

 

On June 21, 2021, Slinger Bag Americas entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Charles Ruddy to acquire a 100% ownership stake in Foundation Sports.

 

On February 2, 2022, Slinger Bag Australia Pty Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Gameface pursuant to share purchase agreements entered into with each of the shareholders of Gameface on February 2, 2022 in exchange for the issuance and delivery of 604,586 shares of the Company’s common stock (of such shares 66,667 shares are currently held back to cover certain indemnity claims that may arise) and ten-year warrants to purchase an additional 47,823 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.01 per share (collectively, the “Consideration Shares”) to the Gameface shareholders and the payment of $500,000 to Jalaluddin Shaik, who sold 306,050 shares of Gameface to the Company, to be made out of the proceeds of this offering, in lieu of the issuance of 14,259 shares of common stock valued at $35.00 per share that Mr. Shaik would otherwise have been entitled to receive. Gameface shareholders also have the opportunity to earn 100,000 additional shares of our common stock as an earn-out upon satisfaction of certain conditions. In addition, the Company agreed that it will provide working capital to Gameface up to the amount of $1,500,000 for the period between July 1, 2021 to December, 31, 2022 and Mr. Shaik will be appointed as a board observer of the Company to attend board meetings and receive information relevant to the matter(s) being discussed in the board meeting pursuant to a side letter in connection with Mr. Shaik’s service agreement with Gameface.

 

On October 21, 2021, the Company, SB Merger Sub Ltd., a private company formed under the laws of the State of Israel and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, PlaySight and Rohit Krishnan, in his capacity as the Shareholders’ Representative, entered into a merger agreement (the “PlaySight Agreement”) and on February 16, 2022, the parties amended the PlaySight Agreement. On February 21, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of PlaySight.

 

In accordance with the PlaySight Agreement, as amended, the Company issued to PlaySight shareholders consideration of 2,537,969 shares of Company common stock, and issued to PlaySight employees options to purchase up to 142,858 shares of Company common stock, and used a cash sum equal to the value of 152,490 shares of the Company’s common stock ($2.2 million) to cover certain expenses. The PlaySight employee options vest at issuance, have an exercise price of $0.01 per share, and expire 10 years from issuance. The Company also agreed to earn-out consideration of up to 514,286 shares of the Company’s common stock. Issuance of the earn-out shares is based on PlaySight’s annual recurring revenue at December 31, 2022, and is expected to be paid out, if earned, if earned, in calendar year 2023. Under the PlaySight Agreement, as amended, the Company has also agreed to purchase back shares of the Company’s common stock from certain former PlaySight shareholders for an aggregate amount of up to $1.44 million to cover certain Israeli tax obligations related to the PlaySight Acquisition. In the event the Company’s common stock becomes listed on Nasdaq prior to the date the Israeli tax obligations are due, which is expected to be February 16, 2024, and February 16, 2026.

 

In April 2022, the Company changed its domicile from Nevada to Delaware. On April 7, 2022, the Company effected a name change to Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. We also changed our ticker symbol, “CNXA”. Connexa is now the holding company under which Slinger Bag, PlaySight, Gameface and Foundation Sports reside.

 

From inception through our ownership of Slinger Bag Americas and SBL to date, we have been focused on the ball sport market globally. Our first product, the Slinger Bag Launcher, is a patented, highly portable, versatile and affordable ball launcher built into an easy to transport wheeled trolley bag.

 

Tennis ball machines have been around since the 1950’s when they were introduced by Rene Lacoste. Improvements to performance were made in the 1970’s when Prince started its tennis business on the back of its first product – Little Prince – which was a vacuum operated ball machine. In the 1990’s the first battery operated machines came to the market and since that time very little, if anything, has changed in the structure of ball machines products outside of added computerization. Typically, the machines being marketed by traditional ball machine brands are large, cumbersome and awkward to operate. They are also generally expensive – often well above U.S. $1,000 compared to the entry price of $700 for a Slinger Bag Launcher. We believe that up until the introduction of the Slinger Bag Launcher, the majority of traditional tennis ball machines were sold to tennis facilities, institutions and tennis teachers, with only a few being sold directly to tennis playing consumers.

 

Following the acquisitions of Foundation Sports, Gameface and PlaySight Interactive, the Connexa company was established and the equipment-only Slinger Bag company business is being transformed into a sports technology and media company focused on providing equipment and software based services to sports teams, facilities, academies, events, federations, clubs and players and participants of all ages and abilities. Maintaining the initial focus on the roll-out of OTT channels and app services within the racquet sport vertical, Connexa will also offer products and services across 20 different sports.

Industry Overview

 

Over the next five years, we believe that most commercial stadiums, schools, academies, pro teams, colleges, clubs, facilities, courts, fields, rinks and pitches will begin transitioning to and becoming “Smart” with connected, AI-based video and analytics technology being a key component. PlaySight technology is well-suited for this transition, and we are intent on advancing this trend by leveraging existing relationships, such as the collegiate and professional teams using PlaySight technology today.

 

Over the course of the next twelve months, Connexa will be focused on tennis as its primary target market. The global tennis market has millions of active players globally, with many other consumers being avid fans of the sport.

 

Manufacturing and Distribution

 

Production of the Slinger Bag Launcher is based in southern China. We are engaged with 10 individual part suppliers, and all of these parts come together at our contracted assembly facility in Xiamen, China, where the Launchers are assembled and tested for quality control before being processed for global distribution.

 

We believe our manufacturing capacity is approximate 5,000 units monthly today. This capacity will be shared across our three Slinger Bag Launcher products– tennis, pickleball, and padel. The pickleball and padel products are still under development.

 

In developing our Slinger Bag tennis, pickleball and padel Launchers, we have designed the three products that share many common parts. We expect this to aid efficiency of the production process.

 

We have engaged an independent and experienced vendor management company to manage all of our production quality control and quality assurance activities, both across our individual vendor partners and at the assembly facility. These processes have been developed together with the Company with a goal of high quality products.

 

South American distributors are typically serviced from our US warehouse locations. We have a global distribution network, and all shipments made to markets outside of the United States, Canada and Rotterdam are shipped free-on-board (“FOB”), thereby becoming the responsibility of the distributor.

 

Additionally, we ship our Slinger-Dunlop co-branded tennis balls from Dunlop (our supplier) to the United States or to Rotterdam for further distribution through our distribution network.

 

PlaySight’s products are sourced from Israeli suppliers currently. The most important elements are the cameras and the Lenovo Servers required to power PlaySight’s multi-angle video and connected cameras called Pro Systems. Today, all assembly of camera rigs and associated software are managed in Israel. Once assembled, the products are shipped directly to their final destination, primarily the United States and Europe. As Connexa evolves, we plan to move supply chain management to a central group function and migrate product assembly to the local markets served and to cloud computing.

 

Gameface AI and Foundation Sports are software-as-a-service companies and, as such, have no direct procurement or supply chain requirements.

Strategy

 

Slinger Bag Launcher

 

In introducing the Slinger Bag Launcher, we saw an opportunity to disrupt the traditional tennis market. Currently, approximately 70% of our Slinger Bag Launcher revenues are generated through our direct-to-consumer strategy in North America. We operate a third-party distributor structure in all markets outside of North America. Distributor partners have exclusive territories. We endeavor to partner with distributors who have a recognized background within the tennis industry for their market, along with the financial capacity and service infrastructure to grow the Slinger Bag brand through a similar go-to-market strategy. All distributor partners purchase Slinger Bag Launchers at distributor pricing, which is considerably lower than the retail price, with advanced orders.

 

The United States market will remain predominantly a direct-to-consumer market for us. As the largest tennis market in the world with 17.4 million players, the United States is a key market both to establish the Slinger brand and to drive demonstrable growth. Direct-to-consumer sales will continue to be supplemented by one or more third-party internet sites focused on the tennis market. This market will be served by third-party logistics facilities in West Columbia, South Carolina and Reno, Nevada, which are operated by one of our logistics partners. All end consumer service support is currently managed by a small team based in Canada. All distributor partners are managed and supported by our distributor manager located in Israel.

 

Foundation (Tennis) Sports

 

Foundation Sports is a software-as-a-service business focused on supporting tennis facilities and clubs. Currently Foundations Sports is solely focused on the core U.S. market. Foundation Sports software supports B2B customers by helping them to manage and grow their business with software capabilities that allow them to attract, engage, and connect with their customers and members more efficiently. We offer an integrated system for facilities across the racquet sports business to manage the full array of business requirements, such as marketing, operations, member services and internal accounting, using one platform across the mobile web, social, and app functions. The business benefits of this inherent design reduce facility costs, eliminates duplication of data, and create a seamless processing of the full spectrum of business activities from new customer (member) acquisition through the full customer (member) and accounting life cycle.

 

Foundation Sports software will be sold to U.S. tennis facilities through a shared Connexa sales organization. This sales organization will have field representatives located across the U.S. and targets on a defined geographic targeting of tennis facility locations. We anticipate that we will commencing this integrated Connexa sales process in late 2022 or early 2023.

 

PlaySight

 

We believe there is growing need for autonomous video capture in sports to make technology accessible to all levels of teams and players. Facilities, teams, colleges and players can benefit from automatic video production that can provide performance analytics, automated scoring and, in many sports, video assisting referee tools (“VAR”) without a camera operator. We believe the pandemic crisis accelerated demand for these automated systems because of the need for remote training and digital connection between teams, athletes and coaches. PlaySight has a well-positioned product that meets the needs of today’s sports market.

In order to fulfill its vision of introducing advanced sports technologies, bringing the technologies to every field, sport and level, and recognizing the different and challenging environmental conditions and variability among customers, PlaySight developed automated broadcast production, live streaming and performance video technology that is low-cost, easy to install, and can be run without a dedicated operator. Its core connected camera product is software based, using a single camera and a computer installed on a court, field, gym or sports facility. The system tracks, almost in real time, the ball and the player(s), analyzes movement and activity, and uploads all the data and video to an athlete/coaches account for further review and analysis.

 

PlaySight’s future innovation is based on real–time AI and deep learning technology to add advanced analytics to its main fixed and mobile products. We believe adding analytics relevant to each sport will give the platform an edge to serve the full spectrum of technological needs for most sporting organizations and its constituents, from the professional level down to the grassroots.

 

PlaySight is also focused on strategic collaborations and technology integrations with partners that will incorporate its technology and provide further market penetration, such as betting companies, media companies, court installation companies, college conferences, federations and leagues.

 

PlaySight video technology positions us to take advantage of demand for media content and sports data through over-the-top (OTT) platforms. We believe revenue opportunities associated with OTT streaming exist through monetization of this media content and data through revenue share partnerships with the facilities, colleges, clubs teams or other rights holders of the content. Stream advertising is another revenue opportunity that opens up as consumers accessing PlaySight’s OTT platforms increase.

 

PlaySight is preparing to launch a new mobile application in late 2022 or early 2023. Once available, this will allow PlaySight to move from its current B2B revenue platforms to a direct-to-consumer model.

 

Gameface

 

Gameface provides access to analytics data by building an automated AI platform to analyze and extract data from sport videos across tennis, baseball, cricket and other sport verticals. Gameface AI’s core capabilities are delivered through compatible camera or smart phone, which allows us to build scalable solutions for the sports market without relying on specific hardware or camera types.

 

We envision Gameface as a product that will be at the heart of ‘powering’ the Connexa portfolio of brands. We also see Gameface technology as a driver of real-time data and analytics for a wide range of sports, brands and other strategic partners.

 

Gameface initially focused its technology on the cricket and soccer markets, where it has built an automated platform to extract various data points from live and archived match footage. Since September 2021, the Gameface team has been dedicated to building its technology to deliver performance insights in tennis, which will form the core of our new Slinger app. Later in 2022 or in early 2023, Gameface plans to revisit the cricket vertical and enhance its technology offering based on the advances made in tennis AI tools available through the combined company, which will broaden and deepen its reach across the cricket world. In 2023, Gameface expects to dedicate resources to baseball analytics and identifying strategic partners for other team sports such as basketball and soccer. We also intend to license technology to validated global partners for direct-to-consumer applications.

Connexa Brand Marketing

 

The Slinger Bag brand team will provide experience and an infrastructure to bring PlaySight and Gameface marketing to a new level.

 

With the go-to-market strategy for Slinger Bag focused on its core North American tennis markets as a direct-to-consumer business e-commerce brand, all marketing activity and advertising media is centered around a consumer push to the Slinger Bag e-commerce platform at https://www.connexasports.com/ and then working to convert brand or product interest to purchases. Based on the target tennis demographic, our marketing focus for the brand centers is around three core marketing pillars: digital advertising; influencers and brand ambassadors. Our marking efforts also focus on targeted social media platforms.

 

Using demographic data for tennis and following a period of advertising testing, our digital advertising spend focused mainly towards Facebook, Instagram and Google.

 

In addition to our paid marketing activities, Slinger Bag relies on the expertise of our small internal team to build out a network of ‘followers’ across various social media platforms – mainly Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. Today, Slinger Bag has consumers who are fans of our brand and fully engaged in generating social media content through their own means.

 

The Slinger Bag brand ambassador team has also been integral to the overall brand marketing strategy in their support of our product by creating and sharing content, representing themselves as affiliated with the brand and through their personal appearances at events, tournaments, etc. Our ambassador team includes: Tommy Hass, Robert Bryan, Darren Cahill, Eugenie Bouchard, Nick Bollettieri, Patrick Mouratoglou, Dustin Brown and the Jensen brothers.

 

Outside of this core marketing strategy, Slinger Bag has taken advantage of numerous opportunities to partner with key brands in the tennis space or to advertise at key tennis related events.

 

Additionally, through our management team’s close association to the tennis industry, we have been able to provide many top touring professionals with a Slinger Bag Launcher for their personal use. These arrangements were non-contractual product seeding opportunities. Players have occasionally posted on social media about their use of the Slinger Bag Launcher, including Simona Halep.

 

To support the Slinger Bag marketing program, we have engaged several agencies:

 

Brand Nation, an influencer marketing agency based in London. Brand Nation leads our influencer programming globally. Influencers targeted are wide ranging and include leading sports, tennis, film, TV, music and blogger celebrities all known for the fact that they play tennis regularly and have a fan base in excess of 10,000 followers. All influencer activity is continually rolled back up to our social media platforms as a means of generating content, brand awareness and product interest.

 

Ad Venture Media Group, a New York based PPC (pay-per-click) agency whose work is grounded in scientific analysis of consumer data and consumer trends. Ad Venture Media leads all digital advertising activities for Slinger Bag on a performance-based fee structure.

 

We have partnered with Team HQS, who manages an affiliate marketing program geared towards US-based teaching professionals, players, juniors and events, in the United States market. This target market is provided with unique affiliate marketing links and encouraged to create content and to share it on their social media accounts and in other such communities that they are connected to, in order to receive an affiliate marketing fee based on revenues generated by consumers purchasing Slinger Bag products attributable to them, via their direct link.

 

Each of our distributor partners around the world are establishing their Slinger product distribution business as we would do if we were establishing a distribution subsidiary in each market. As such, each distributor adopts Slinger brand marketing programs while initiating new local concepts of their own. Efforts aimed at reaching the tennis player directly and ensuring that the Slinger brand message is consistent around the globe. Slinger Bag supports all of its brand distributors with full access to all of the company’s marketing partners, as well as direct contact to our internal marketing team.

 

Our marketing budget is primarily funded by, or determined in accordance with, the distributor partner linked to the distributors purchase objectives. Each distributor executes local grassroots programs, including demonstration days, local teaching pro partnerships, specialist tennis network communications, providing Slinger product locally as necessary to local key market tennis influencers to further increase the intensity of the influencer effort. Typically, we support these activities with either discounted products or certain quantities of free products. Distributor marketing budgets are allocated to Google, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and other relevant websites or platforms in their region, and supported, approved and /or overseen by AdVenture Media Group.

Research and Development

 

Slinger Bag

 

Slinger Bag is working with our vendor management partner, Stride Innovation, and our China based vendors to produce ball launchers for new market segments, such as Pickleball, Padel and baseball/Softball. These efforts are collaborative and based on a detailed product brief and in-depth market and consumer research for each product category. The development timetable of the Slinger Bag Launcher for the new market segments from concept to market launch is 18 months and includes at least 2 rounds or in-market field testing.

 

74
 

 

We are currently field testing our new pickleball, paddle and soft tennis launchers, which are expected to be introduced to the market in late 2022 or early 2023. We plan to introduce similar transportable, versatile and affordable ball launchers for baseball, softball, cricket and other ball sports over the course of the next three years.

 

In regard to development of our pending performance and analytics app, we have identified a combination of internal project leadership and the development team of Gameface to create Tennis specific analysis code for the app. We also contracted a focused design agency to build the road map for the user experience based on the technology being developed.

 

PlaySight

 

PlaySight has its internal research and development team across two locations. Leadership and management of each technology department are in Israel. Supplemental part-time software engineers are in Ukraine. All of PlaySight’s utility and deign patents cover technology were developed by its in-house research and development teams. PlaySight’s research and development teams are comprised of experienced professionals in camera, video, AI and facility management software. Our vision is to maintain its edge by sharing expertise, programs, concepts and ideas across our portfolio of companies to promote long-term leadership in these segments.

 

At the heart of the PlaySight’s technology is advanced algorithms, image processing, and AI technologies. Development goals include identifying, tracking, and analyzing the movement and activity of players and the ball while playing or training, almost in real time. The hardware is simple, based on off-the-shelf products, and can be adapted to multiple sports. The algorithms are complex and sophisticated function autonomously. For low-cost camera and hardware, the challenges include the position of the cameras, environmental conditions and diversity among installation locations. For example, cameras that are installed at low height and close the baseline may cause significant background interference and distortion. Lighting conditions also vary by location and throughout the day. For large pitches, such as for soccer, we use a panoramic view that includes two or three cameras. The panorama is produced by ‘stitching’ the camera views together in real-time. We also apply a fisheye correction algorithm to compensate for the close-range position of the camera.

 

The PlaySight platform works through the cloud with the use of on-premises servers. The platform is connected to several cameras and records, analyses and live-streams the video. The real-time processing is done on local servers and the remainder of the processing, storage and other services (video editing, smart score, video highlights etc.) is managed in the cloud.

Tennis analytics

 

In tennis, we believe the ideal number of cameras is four per court, which allows the court to be viewed from different angles. By crossing the angles, the system can identify the ball and the player in three-dimensional coordinates, filter the noises from the court, and identify different situations and occurrences on the court, such as service, forehand and backhand. Event identification is based on two operations:

 

1. Image processing – The system builds a three-dimensional model of the court/field and maps the position of the players and the ball. With the help of many and varied rules that are set for the system for each event in the game, for example, when serving the system detects the position of the players (one player stands off the court and the other player stands diagonally to him at the back of the court) and the position of the ball and the direction of his or her movement when hitting.

 

2. Following the match course – Some platform rules are based on the natural sequence of events of the game. When a game point is won (identifying by image processing when the ball hits off the court or bounces twice in a row on the same side of the court) and the system then also knows that the next shot will be a serve that will start a new point.

 

Multi-sport analytics

 

In other sports, such as basketball, the system tracks both players and the ball. This involves building an extensive set of rules which considers variables such as lighting.

 

Automated production

 

The system stitches the image from two or three event cameras. The system tracks both players and the ball. The camera system accounts for the position of the players, the ball and its trajectory, in order to calculate which direction it should move. In this way, the camera can effectively monitor the game and provide viewers with quality automatic production.

 

PlaySight can run its tracking system in less than four seconds to support betting industry requirements, which require less than four seconds of latency in the live feed to prevent any chance of fraudulent betting taking place by knowing the outcome before a bet is placed. The company manages to reach such a response time by dividing the processing into many small tasks with very low execution time, managing the order of actions, which then creates synergy and allows very fast image processing suitable for any environment (day, night, projector lighting, silhouettes and so on).

 

PlaySight’s technological edge is based on its advanced player and ball tracking analytics and efficient algorithms that run in real-time, on low-cost hardware. In addition, PlaySight’s multi-camera configuration allows it to provide services to a wide range of sports and to different audiences within each sport. We believe its flexible system configuration allows PlaySight to reach a wider market than competition and provides a solution unlike competitors that can only offer some of PlaySight’s capabilities.

 

Gameface

 

Gameface is involved in additional research and development of building methods to extract data reliably and more accurately from videos. A large part of our research also includes identifying and associating extracted data points of athlete performance. Gameface is currently field testing its new data visualization techniques to represent data in tennis, cricket and football, which are expected to be introduced late in 2022 or early 2023.

 

Foundations Sports

 

The Foundation Sports software was developed using industry standards and tier-one hosting and management services, including Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services.

 

As a group we retain outside consultants to provide research and product design services and each consultant has a specific expertise (e.g., molding technology, electronics, product design, bag design, data visualization techniques, App UX, product design as examples). We also are working with a select group third-party suppliers in Asia, sport scientists, and University researchers. We are continually striving to identify product enhancements, new concepts and improvements to the production process, new data points related to performance improvement, getting more accurate data, reducing latency, and new concepts to represent data in an easy to understand manner. In respect of any new project, management provides detailed briefs, market data, product cost targets, competitive analysis, timelines and project cost goals to either the product consultants or vendors and manages them to agreed key performance indicators (“KPIs”). These KPIs include but are not limited to: (i) manufacturing to target costs; (ii) agreed development timelines; (iii) established quality criteria; and (iv) defined performance criteria.

Slinger Bag has engaged Stride-Innovation, a company with in-depth experience working with ball sport companies such as ours and knowledge, resources and experience in working with Chinese vendors of sports equipment.

 

In partnership, together, we have created and documented quality guidelines, testing procedures and warranty processes. We have implemented an agreed quality audit process for all product parts being received and used by our product assembly vendor. All products go through a rigorous, statistically validated quality control testing approval process before being confirmed as available to be released for shipment to one of our distribution centers or to any of our distribution partners.

 

We offer a limited warranty with all purchases in accordance with local market statutory regulations. This limited warranty can be further extended by the purchaser registering his/her unique product serial number at our website.

 

PlaySight

 

PlaySight has personal relationships with each supplier and relies on all primary quality control being carried out by each supplier before any product is delivered. On receipt of the products, the internal PlaySight quality assurance team carries out its own quality checks and tests each part before assembly.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Our common stock currently is not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are not subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes we will be able to realize our assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. We have an accumulated deficit and more losses are anticipated in the ongoing development of the business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon us generating profitable operations in the future and/or being able to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from related parties, and/or private placement of debt and/or common stock.

 

There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force us to curtail substantially or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

 

We intend to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the commencement of revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. We anticipate raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however, we may not have commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. We cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and its failure to raise capital when needed could limit its ability to continue its operations. Our ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms would have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require it to curtail or cease operations, sell off its assets, seek protection from its creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of shares of our common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary, to raise additional funds, and may require that we relinquish valuable rights.

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships among our directors or officers, or persons nominated or chosen to be a director or officer. Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors, other than potential issues related to the matters described under “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”

 

Director Compensation

 

Each non-employee director will receive shares of common stock valued at $50,000, based on the closing price of our common stock on the anniversary date each non-employee director was appointed to the Board. In the event, a director should resign from the Board mid-year, such director would receive a pro rata issuance of common stock at their anniversary date based on the number of days of service since their prior anniversary date. No fractional shares will be issued to non-employee director, and any calculation resulting in a fractional share will be rounded up to the next whole share.

 

Director Independence

 

Upon effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, our Board will be composed of a majority of “independent directors” as defined under the rules of Nasdaq. We use the definition of “independence” applied by Nasdaq to make this determination. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Nasdaq listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

 

  the director is, or at any time during the past three (3) years was, an employee of the Company;
     
  the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months within the three (3) years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exemptions, including, among other things, compensation for Board or Board committee service);
     
  the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exemptions);
     
  the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three (3) years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or
     
  the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three (3) years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

 

Under such definitions, our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director nominee. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our Board has determined that each of Kirk P. Taylor, Rohit Krishnan, and Gabriel Goldman, when appointed to the Board, will be independent directors of the Company.

Kirk P. Taylor, Rohit Krishnan, and Gabriel Goldman, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq’s rules, will serve on our audit committee upon their appointment to the board, with Mr. Taylor serving as the chairman. Our board has determined that Mr. Taylor qualify as “audit committee financial experts.”

 

83
 

 

Compensation Committee

 

The compensation committee will be responsible for, among other matters:

 

  reviewing key employee compensation goals, policies, plans and programs;
     
  reviewing and approving the compensation of our directors and executive officers;
     
  reviewing and approving employment agreements and other similar arrangements between us and our executive officers; and
     
  appointing and overseeing any compensation consultants or advisors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

None of our officers currently serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more officers serving on our board of directors.

 

Risk Oversight

 

Our Board will oversee a company-wide approach to risk management. Our Board will determine the appropriate risk level for us generally, assess the specific risks faced by us and review the steps taken by management to manage those risks. While our Board will have ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, its committees will oversee risk in certain specified areas.

 

Specifically, our compensation committee will be responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements, and the incentives created by the compensation awards it administers. Our audit committee will oversee management of enterprise risks and financial risks, as well as potential conflicts of interests. Our Board of Directors will be responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with the independence of our Board.

 

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

Our Board adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees (the “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics”), to be effective upon effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Upon completion of this offering, a copy of this code will be available on our website. We intend to disclose on our website any amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and any waivers of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions.

Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans.

 

The table below provides information regarding all compensation plans as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year (including individual compensation arrangements) under which equity securities of the registrant are authorized for issuance.

 

On November 11, 2020, our Board of Directors approved the Slinger Bag Inc. Global Share Incentive Plan (2020) (the “2020 Plan”), which was approved by stockholders holding approximately 75.4% of our common stock outstanding on such date. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of awards which are incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-qualified stock options, unrestricted stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock and other equity-based and cash awards or any combination of the foregoing, to eligible key management employees, non-employee directors, and non-employee consultants of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each a “participant”) (however, solely employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible for incentive stock option awards).

 

We reserved a total of 1,500,000 shares for issuance under awards to be made under the 2020 Plan of which 1,500,000 remain in reserve as at the date hereof, all of which may, but need not, be issued in connection with ISOs. To the extent that an award lapses, expires, is canceled, is terminated unexercised or ceases to be exercisable for any reason, or the rights of its holder terminate, any shares subject to such award shall again be available for the grant of a new award. The 2020 Plan shall continue in effect, unless sooner terminated, until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which it was adopted by the Board of Directors (except as to awards outstanding on that date). The Board of Directors in its discretion may terminate the 2020 Plan at any time with respect to any shares for which awards have not theretofore been granted; provided, however, that the 2020 Plan’s termination shall not materially and adversely impair the rights of a holder, without the consent of the holder, with respect to any award previously granted.

 

Future new hires, non-employee directors and additional non-employee consultants are eligible to participate in the 2020 Plan as well. The number of awards to be granted to officers, non-employee directors, employees and non-employee consultants cannot be determined at this time as the grant of awards is dependent upon various factors such as hiring requirements and job performance.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, Our Certificate of Incorporation and Our Bylaws

 

Section 203 of the DGCL provides that if a person acquires 15% or more of the voting stock of a Delaware corporation, such person becomes an “interested stockholder” and may not engage in certain “Business Combinations” with such corporation for a period of three years from the time such person acquired 15% or more of such corporation’s voting stock, unless: (1) the board of directors of such corporation approves the acquisition of stock or the merger transaction before the time that the person becomes an interested stockholder, (2) the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock of such corporation at the time the merger transaction commences (excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans), or (3) the merger transaction is approved by the board of directors and at a meeting of stockholders, not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of 2/3 of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. A Delaware corporation may elect in its certificate of incorporation or Bylaws not to be governed by this particular Delaware law.

 

Our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws and the DGCL contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the members of our board of directors or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. For instance, our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Our board of directors are empowered to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death, or removal of a director in certain circumstances; and our advance notice provisions in our bylaws require that stockholders must comply with certain procedures in order to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting.

 

Our authorized but unissued common stock will be available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

 

Certificate of incorporation and Bylaws

 

Among other things, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws:

 

do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors;
provides for the exclusive right of the board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death, or removal of a director by stockholders;
Requires that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the Board of Directors, or by a committee of the Board of Directors that has been designated by the Board of Directors;
limits the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;
controls the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of stockholder meetings;
grants the ability to remove directors only for cause by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the Company entitled to vote at an election of directors;
provides for advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to the board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting.

 

The combination of these provisions will make it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace our board of directors as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Since our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management.

 

These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to hostile takeovers and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares of common stock and may have the effect of delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our common stock.

 

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

 

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law. Under our Bylaws, we are required to indemnify each of our directors and officers if the basis of the indemnitee’s involvement was by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was our director or officer or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent for another entity. We must indemnify our officers and directors against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. Our bylaws also require us to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person will repay any such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification by us. Any claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

As of April 30, 2022, we had 7,317,601 shares of common stock outstanding (which reflects the reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-10, that effectuated on June 14, 2022). In addition to those shares, the 1,640,001 shares (including 760,001 shares to be issued on the exercise of warrants and 880,000 shares to be issued on the conversion of the Notes) covered by a certain prospectus upon sale or will be registered by a registration statement will be freely transferrable without restrictions unless purchased by persons deemed to be our affiliates as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Any shares purchased by an affiliate may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration, including an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Of our shares of common stock that are outstanding, 6,608,521 are “restricted,” which means they were originally sold in an offering not registered under the Securities Act. Restricted shares may be sold through registration under the Securities Act or under an applicable exemption from registration, such as provided by Rule 144, which is summarized below.

 

Rule 144

 

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated), including an affiliate, who beneficially owns “restricted securities” (i.e., securities that are not registered by an effective registration statement) of a “reporting company” may not sell these securities until the person has beneficially owned them for at least six months. Thereafter, affiliates may not sell within any three-month period a number of shares in excess of the greater of: (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock as shown by the most recent report or statement published by the issuer; and (ii) the average weekly reported trading volume in such securities during the four preceding calendar weeks.

 

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates will also be subject to restrictions relating to manner of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about us and may be affected only through unsolicited brokers’ transactions.

 

Persons not deemed to be affiliates who have beneficially owned “restricted securities” for at least six months but for less than one year may sell these securities, provided that current public information about the Company is “available,” which means that, on the date of sale, we have been subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days and are current in our Exchange Act filings. After beneficially owning “restricted securities” for one year, our non-affiliates may engage in unlimited re-sales of such securities.

 

Shares received by our affiliates in this offering or upon exercise of stock options or upon vesting of other equity-linked awards may be “control securities” rather than “restricted securities.” “Control securities” are subject to the same volume limitations as “restricted securities” but are not subject to holding period requirements.

 

Rule 701

 

Rule 701 generally allows a stockholder who purchased shares of our common stock pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of the Company during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell these shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation, or notice provisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits affiliates of the Company to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling such shares pursuant to Rule 701 and until expiration of the lock-up period described below.

 

Regulation S

 

Regulation S under the Securities Act provides that securities owned by any person may be sold without registration in the United States, provided that the sale is effected in an “offshore transaction” and no “directed selling efforts” are made in the United States (as these terms are defined in Regulation S) and subject to certain other conditions. In general, this means that our shares of common stock may be sold in some manner outside the United States without requiring registration in the United States.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

The Company, each of our directors and executive officers, and shareholders who beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock have agreed not to, subject to certain limited exceptions, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common stock, or to enter into any hedge or other arrangement or any transaction that transfers, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the shares of our common stock, in the case of the Company for a period of 12 months after the date of this prospectus, and in the case of our directors and executive officers and our 5% and greater stockholders for a period of 180 days, after the date of this prospectus, without the prior written consent of the underwriter. See “Underwriting—Lock-up Agreements.”

UNDERWRITING

 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement between us and the underwriters named below, for which Northland Securities, Inc. and Spartan Capital Securities, LLC are acting as the representatives (the “Representatives”), we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase, the number of shares of common stock listed next to its name in the following table:

 

Underwriters 

Number of

Shares

 
Northland Securities, Inc.   500,000 
Spartan Capital Securities, LLC   500,000 
      
Total   1,000,000 

 

Under the terms of the underwriting agreement, the underwriters are committed to purchase all of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus (other than the shares subject to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional securities), if the underwriters buy any of such shares of common stock.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

 

The underwriters’ obligation to purchase the shares of common stock is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among others, the continued accuracy of representations and warranties made by us in the underwriting agreement, delivery of legal opinions and the absence of any material changes in our assets, business or prospects after the date of this prospectus.

 

The underwriters initially propose to offer our shares of common stock directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the front cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at such offering price less a concession not to exceed $0.16 per share of common stock. After the initial public offering of the share of common stock, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the underwriters. Sales of shares of our common stock made outside the United States may be made by affiliates of certain of the underwriters.

 

Over-Allotment Option

 

We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable not later than 45 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of 150,000 additional shares of our common stock at the public offering price per share of common stock, less underwriting discounts and commissions, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. If any additional shares of common stock are purchased pursuant to this option, the underwriters will offer these additional shares on the same terms as those on which the other shares of common stock are being offered hereby.

 

Discounts and Commissions

 

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions we will pay to the underwriters. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of our common stock.

 

       Total     
   Per Share   No Exercise   Full Exercise 
Public offering price  $4.00   $4,000,000   $4,600,000 
Underwriting discount and commissions to be paid by us   $0.24   $240,000   $276,000 
Proceeds, before expenses, to us  $3.76   $3,760,000   $4,324,000 

 

We have also agreed to reimburse the Representatives for accountable expenses incurred by the Representatives in connection with the offering, which we expect to be approximately $240,000. We have paid an expense deposit of $10,000 to the Representatives, which will be applied against the actual accountable expenses that will be payable by us to the Representatives in connection with this offering.

 

We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $790,000.

 

94
 

 

Tail Fee

 

We have also agreed to pay the Representatives a tail fee equal to the compensation payable to the Representatives in this offering, if any investor the Representatives had directly contacted during our term of engagement with the Representatives related to this offering provides financing or capital to us through any public or private offering or other financing or capital-raising transaction of any kind during our term of engagement with the Representatives, or the 15-month period thereafter. The Representatives will provide us with a list of investors within ten days of (i) the termination of our engagement with the Representatives or (ii) abandonment of the offering.

 

Stabilization

 

In accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, the underwriters may engage in activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock, including short sales and purchases to cover positions created by short positions, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions, penalty bids and passive market making.

 

Short positions involve sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares involved in the sales made by the underwriters in excess of the number of shares they are obligated to purchase is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase by exercising their option to purchase additional shares. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in their option to purchase additional shares. The underwriters may close out any short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market.
   
Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security as long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specific maximum price.
   
Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of our common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, thereby creating a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
   
Penalty bids permit the Representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.
   
In passive market making, market makers in our common stock who are underwriters or prospective underwriters may, subject to limitations, make bids for or purchase shares of our common stock until the time, if any, at which a stabilizing bid is made.

 

95
 

 

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result of these activities, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on The Nasdaq Capital Market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the Representatives will engage in these stabilizing transactions or that any transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

 

Indemnification

 

We and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.

 

Discretionary Accounts

 

The underwriters have informed us that they do not expect to make sales to accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority in excess of 5% of the shares of our common stock being offered in this offering.

 

Determination of Offering Price

 

The public offering price has been negotiated between us and the Representatives. Among the factors considered in these negotiations are: (i) the capitalization of our company at the time of the offering, (ii) market and general economic conditions and changes in the prospects and/or forecasts of our company, (iii) the Representatives’ review of our company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021 and subsequently filed unaudited financial statements and (iv) the Representatives’ determination of our company’s pre-money valuation (based upon the information provided to the Representatives by us).

 

Clear Market

 

We have agreed that for a period of 12 months after the closing of this offering, we and any of our successors will not without the prior written consent of the Representatives:

 

offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company except pursuant to and in accordance with its global incentive plan and bona fide ambassador, consulting, employment and service agreements entered into with third parties;
   
file or cause to be filed any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be permitted to file, re-file, and/or declare or have declared effective any registration statement that was filed with the SEC prior to March 8, 2022, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amendments to or corrected or revised registration statements relating to a registration statement that was filed prior to March 8, 2022;
   
enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another entity, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of our common stock or such other securities;

 

96
 

 

whether any such transaction described above is to be settled by delivery of shares of our capital stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The prior sentence will not apply to (i) the issuance of the Warrants to the Representatives and the shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of such warrants; (ii) the issuance of shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of our common stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities or the exercise of warrants or options (including net exercise) or the settlement of RSUs (including net settlement), in each case outstanding on the date of the underwriting agreement and described in this prospectus; (iii) grants of stock options, stock awards, restricted stock, RSUs, or other equity awards and the issuance of shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of our common stock (whether upon the exercise of stock options or otherwise) to our employees, officers, directors, advisors, brand ambassadors or consultants pursuant to the terms of an equity compensation plan in effect as of the closing of this offering and described in this prospectus, provided that such recipients enter into a lock-up agreement with the Representatives; (iv) our filing of any registration statement on Form S-8 relating to securities granted or to be granted pursuant to any plan in effect on the date of the underwriting agreement and described in this prospectus or any assumed benefit plan pursuant to an acquisition or similar strategic transaction; or (v) the issuance of shares of our common stock or such other securities in connection with joint ventures, commercial relationships or other strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that such securities are issued as “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144) and carry no registration rights that require or permit the filing of any registration statement in connection therewith within 90 days after the date of the underwriting agreement, and provided that any such issuance shall only be to a person (or to the equity holders of a person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

Each of our directors, executive officers and substantially all holders of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock as of the Effective Date of this registration statement, has entered into lock-up agreements with the Representatives prior to the commencement of this offering pursuant to which each of these persons or entities has agreed that, in the case of the Company for a period of 12 months after the date of this prospectus, and in the case of our directors and executive officers and our 5% and greater stockholders for a period of 180 days, after the date of this prospectus, none of them will, without the prior written consent of the Representatives (which may be withheld or delayed in the Representatives’ sole discretion):

 

offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock, in each case whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the locked-up party or with respect to which the locked-up party has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition (including without limitation, common stock or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the locked-up party in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and securities that may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant) (collectively, the “Lock-Up Securities”);
enter into any hedging, swap or other arrangement or transaction that transfers to another entity, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Lock-Up Securities, make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Lock-Up Securities, or publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing; or
otherwise enter into any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale or disposition or transfer (whether by the locked-up party or any other person) of any economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of any Lock-Up Securities, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of Lock-Up Securities, in cash or otherwise.

 

97
 

 

The restrictions described in the immediately preceding paragraph and contained in the lock-up agreements do not apply, subject in certain cases to various conditions, to certain transactions, including (a) transfers or dispositions of Lock-Up Securities (i) as bona fide gifts, or for bona fide estate planning purposes, (ii) by will, other testamentary document or intestacy, (iii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the locked-up party or any immediate family member thereof, (iv) to a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other entity of which the locked-up party and/or one or more members of its immediate family members are the legal and beneficial owner of all of the outstanding equity securities or similar interests, (v) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (i) through (iv), (vi) in the case of a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity, (A) to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is an affiliate of the locked-up party, or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled by, managing or managed by or under common control with the locked-up party or its affiliates or (B) as part of a distribution or other transfer to general or limited partners, members or stockholders of, or other holders of equity in, the locked-up party, (vii) by operation of law, (viii) to us from an employee or other service provider upon death, disability or termination of employment or service relationship of such employee or service provider, (ix) to us in connection with the vesting, settlement or exercise of restricted stock units, options, warrants or other rights to purchase shares of our common stock (including “net” or “cashless” exercise), including for the payment of exercise price and tax and remittance payments, or (x) pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction approved by our board of directors and made to all stockholders involving a change in control, provided that if such transaction is not completed, all such Lock-Up Securities would remain subject to the restrictions in the immediately preceding paragraph; (b) exercise of outstanding options, settlement of RSUs or other equity awards granted pursuant to plans or other equity compensation arrangements or exercise warrants, in each case described in this prospectus, provided that any Lock-Up Securities received upon such exercise, vesting or settlement would be subject to restrictions similar to those in the immediately preceding paragraph; (c) the conversion of outstanding preferred stock, warrants to acquire preferred stock or convertible securities or warrants to acquire shares of our common stock into shares of our common stock, provided that any common stock or warrants received upon such conversion would be subject to restrictions similar to those in the immediately preceding paragraph; and (d) the establishment by locked-up parties of one or more trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, provided that such plan does not provide for the transfer or disposition of Lock-Up Securities during the 180 days following the date of this prospectus and no filing by any party under the Exchange Act or other public announcement would be required or made voluntarily in connection with such trading plan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing will prevent our directors or executive officers from, or restrict their ability to, (i) purchase our securities in a public or private transaction, or (ii) exercise or convert any options, warrants or other convertible securities issued to or held by such director or executive officer, including those granted under our 2020 Global Incentive Share Plan.

 

Other Relationships

 

The Representatives and their affiliates may provide various advisory, investment and commercial banking and other services to us in the ordinary course of business, for which they may receive customary fees and commissions.

 

Spartan acted as one of our placement agents in connection with a private placement that closed on August 6, 2021 (the “August Private Placement”). A description of the August Private Placement is provided above under “Prospectus Summary--Recent Financings and Acquisitions.” As part of their compensation, the placement agents received warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 26,667 shares of our common Stock, which equals 4.0% of the shares of common stock sold in the August Private Placement (the “August Private Placement PA Warrants”). Spartan intends to transfer 3,040 of the August Private Placement PA Warrants to another placement agent for the August Private Placement, for their role as a placement agent in the August Private Placement. The August Private Placement PA Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants are subject to a lock-up agreement (the “August Consideration Warrants Warrant-Lock Up Agreement”) and may not be transferred at any time prior to the date which is 180 days beginning on the date of commencement of sales of securities in connection with this offering, in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1)(A). The August Private Placement PA Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e). The Representatives (or its respective permitted assignees under Rule 5110(e)(2)(B)) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the August Private Placement PA Warrants or the securities underlying such warrants, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days following the date of commencement of sales pursuant to the offering. The August Private Placement PA Warrants have an exercise price of the lesser of $33.00 per share and 125% of the public offering price in this offering. The August Private Placement PA Warrants expire on August 6, 2026. The August Private Placement PA Warrants, as amended by the August Consideration Warrants Warrant-Lock Up Agreement, are exercisable 180 days after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part at $5.00 per share (125% of the public offering price), but may not be transferred at any time prior to the date which is 180 days beginning on the date of commencement of sales of securities in connection with this offering and expiring on a date which is no more than five (5) years from the commencement of sales of the public offering. The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the August Private Placement PA Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. In this regard, the warrant exercise price set forth above has been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split that was effectuated on June 14, 2022.

 

The Representatives may in the future provide us and our affiliates with investment banking and financial advisory services for which it may in the future receive customary fees. The Representative may release, or authorize us to release, as the case may be, the Lock-Up Securities subject to the lock-up agreements described above in whole or in part at any time with or without notice.

 

Electronic Distribution

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by one or more of the underwriters or selling group members, if any, participating in the offering. The Representatives may allocate a number of shares to the underwriters and selling group members, if any, for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Any such allocations for online distributions will be made by the representative on the same basis as other allocations.

SLINGER BAG INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Introduction

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and the historical consolidated financial statements of PlaySight and Gameface as adjusted to give effect to the Company’s acquisition of PlaySight and Gameface (the “Acquisitions”). For more information on these acquisitions, see “Prospectus Summary—PlaySight Acquisition” and “Prospectus Summary—Gameface Acquisition.”

 

PlaySight’s business involves sports video technology, data capture, high performance analytics and automated video production. PlaySight will also bring a growing, recurring revenue stream of sports clients and content subscribers to the Company.

 

Gameface has developed the AI capabilities for the forthcoming Slinger app, including instant analysis of groundstrokes and biomechanics as well as event recognition from match play situations, all captured through a phone’s camera. Gameface’s platform is designed to deliver both technical (biomechanics) and tactical (strategy) insights through its camera agnostic AI video platform.

 

The acquisitions of PlaySight and Gameface closed in February 2022, at which time the Company formally launched its Watch, Play, Learn strategy pursuant to which it will endeavor to build a connected sports technology business based on (i) ball launchers across a range of sports, (ii) content, streaming and data (through PlaySight technology), (iii) performance, artificial intelligence, data and content (through Gameface technology) and SaaS applications (through Foundation Sports technology).

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2022 and the 12 months ended April 30, 2021 give effect to these transactions as if they had occurred on May 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of January 31, 2022 gives effect to these transactions as if they had occurred on January 31, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were derived from the following historical information:

 

  The Company’s unaudited balance sheet and unaudited statement of operations as of and for the nine months ended January 31, 2022 and its audited statement of operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021;
  PlaySight’s unaudited balance sheet and unaudited statement of operations as of and for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and its unaudited statement of operations for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021 (these PlaySight financials were derived from the PlaySight audited year end financials of the company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and adjusted to reflect unaudited quarterly financial information in order to more closely align PlaySight’s year end with the Company’s April 30, 2021 year end); and
  Gameface’s unaudited balance sheet and unaudited statement of operations as of and for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and its unaudited statement of operations for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021 (these Gameface financials were derived from the Gameface audited year end financials of the company as of June 30, 2021 and unaudited December 31, 2020 financials and adjusted to reflect unaudited quarterly financial information in order to more closely align Gameface’s year end with the Company’s April 30, 2021 year end).

 

The assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited adjustments to the pro forma condensed combined financial statements are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read together with the pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read together with the Company’s historical financial statements, which are included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and PlaySight’s historical financial information included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Note 1 — Basis of presentation

 

The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the business combinations, (2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results following the business combination.

 

The business combinations will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. As the acquirer for accounting purposes, the Company has estimated the fair value of the Acquisitions’ assets acquired and liabilities assumed and will conform the accounting policies of the Acquisitions to its own accounting policies.

 

The pro forma combined financial statements do not necessarily reflect what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

 

The combined pro forma financial information does not reflect the realization of any expected cost savings or other synergies from the Acquisitions as a result of restructuring activities and other planned cost savings initiatives following the completion of the business combinations.

 

Note 2 — Preliminary purchase price allocation

 

The Company has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of the Acquisitions’ assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the assumed acquisition date (in thousands):

 

   PlaySight   Gameface   Total 
Cash and cash equivalents  $709   $85   $794 
Accounts receivable, net   206    -    206 
Inventories, net   499    -    499 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets   603    40    643 
Goodwill   34,958    9,033    43,991 
Other intangible assets   16,490    2,860    19,350 
Finished products used in operations, net   4,657    -    4,657 
Other non-current assets   667    125    792 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses   (1,495)   (254)   (1,749)
Accrued payroll and bonuses   (1,308)   -    (1,308)
Deferred revenue   (2,479)   -    (2,479)
Contingent consideration   (6,951)   (1,334)   (8,285)
Other current liabilities   (307)   (145)   (452)
Long-term deferred revenue   (1,309)   -    (1,309)
Other non-current liabilities   (10)   -    (10)
Total consideration  $44,930   $10,410   $55,340 

 

This preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma balance sheet and income statement. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the pro forma adjustments. The final allocation may include (1) changes in allocations to intangible assets such as trade names, internally developed software and customer relationships as well as goodwill and (2) other changes to assets and liabilities.

The pro forma adjustments are based on our preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change. The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements:

 

  (a) Represents the loan from the Company to PlaySight and the PlaySight closing costs that the Company agreed to fund that will reduce the number of shares issued as part of the purchase price.
     
  (b) Reflects adjustment to record goodwill associated with the Acquisitions as shown in Note 2.
     
  (c) Reflects adjustment to record intangible assets associated with the Acquisitions as shown in Note 2. As part of the preliminary valuation analysis, the Company identified intangible assets, including trade names, internally developed software and customer relationships.

 

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the Acquisitions’ identifiable intangible assets (in thousands) and their estimated useful lives:

 

    Estimated useful life (in years)     PlaySight     Gameface     Total  
Trade name     12     $ 5,230     $ 380     $ 5,610  
Internally developed software     4       7,680       870       8,550  
Customer relationships     10 - 13       3,580       1,610       5,190  
Total           $ 16,490     $ 2,860     $ 19,350  

 

  (d) Represents the estimated adjustment to increase the assumed deferred revenue obligations to fair value. The calculation of fair value is preliminary and subject to change. The fair value was determined based on the estimated costs to fulfill the remaining extended contract obligations plus a normal profit margin.
  (e) Represents the fair value of the earn-out shares related to the consummation of the Acquisitions.
  (f) Represents the loans and convertible preferred shares of PlaySight that will be converted to equity upon the completion of the acquisition.
  (g) Represents the elimination of the historical equity of the Acquisitions and the issuance of common shares to finance the Acquisitions.
  (h) Represents the elimination of intercompany sales from Gameface to the Company as part of the development of a tennis specific artificial intelligence application.
  (i) Represents the amortization expense of the Acquisitions’ identifiable intangible assets as noted in (c) above, which is partially offset by $1,000 in legal and professional fees for the Company during the nine months ended January 31, 2021 related to the Acquisitions.
  (j) Represents the increase in weighted average shares in connection with the issuance of common shares of the Company as part of the Acquisitions.

SLINGER BAG INC.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED APRIL 30, 2021 AND 2020

 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Slinger Bag Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Slinger Bag Inc. as of April 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Slinger Bag Inc. as of April 30, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the entity has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to Slinger Bag Inc. in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Slinger Bag Inc. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Inventory

 

The Company developed, and now sells, a tennis ball launcher that is built into a bag (the “Slinger Launcher”). The Company utilizes manufacturing companies who deliver its Slinger Launchers to third party warehouses around the world to enable the Company to distribute its product internationally. As discussed in Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements the Company values their inventory at the lower of cost (determined principally on a first-in first-out basis) or net realizable value. Due to the numerous warehouse locations, inventory in transit, and the multiple components that go into the Slinger Launcher auditing the inventory balance was challenging and required complex auditor judgment.

 

In order to audit the Company’s inventory balance, we sent confirmations to third party warehouses after they completed their internal inventory counts, reconciled and verified all inventory in transit amounts by reviewing third party support and shipping records, and we ensured all values assigned to components and completed Slinger Launchers was accurate by reviewing source documents and invoices from third party manufacturers.

 

Complex Debt and Equity Transactions

 

During the year under audit the Company entered into multiple debt and/or equity transactions and agreements that contained terms and provisions that were uncommon in practice. Due to the unusual nature of the agreements, ensuring the accounting for the transactions were challenging, subjective, and required complex auditor judgment, including detailed analysis and interpretation of accounting standards.

 

In order to audit these significant unusual transactions, we reviewed Company analysis and had to perform a significant amount of research in order to gain comfort in the accounting for each.

SLINGER BAG INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization

 

Lazex Inc. (“Lazex”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 12, 2015. On August 23, 2019, the majority owner of Lazex entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Slinger Bag Americas Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Slinger Bag Americas”), which was 100% owned by Slinger Bag Ltd. (“SBL”), an Israeli company. In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, Slinger Bag Americas acquired 20,000,000 shares of common stock of Lazex for $332,239. On September 16, 2019, SBL transferred its ownership of Slinger Bag Americas to Lazex in exchange for the 20,000,000 shares of Lazex acquired on August 23, 2019. As a result of these transactions, Lazex owned 100% of Slinger Bag Americas and the sole shareholder of SBL owned 20,000,000 shares of common stock (approximately 82%) of Lazex. Effective September 13, 2019, Lazex changed its name to Slinger Bag Inc.

 

On October 31, 2019, Slinger Bag Americas acquired control of Slinger Bag Canada, Inc., (“Slinger Bag Canada”) a Canadian company incorporated on November 3, 2017. There were no assets, liabilities or historical operational activity of Slinger Bag Canada.

 

On February 10, 2020, Slinger Bag Americas became the 100% owner of SBL, along with SBL’s wholly owned subsidiary Slinger Bag International (UK) Limited (“Slinger Bag UK”), which was formed on April 3, 2019. On February 10, 2020, Zehava Tepler, the owner of SBL, contributed Slinger Bag UK to Slinger Bag Americas for no consideration.

 

The operations of Slinger Bag Inc., Slinger Bag Americas, Slinger Bag Canada, Slinger Bag UK and SBL are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

 

The Company operates in the sporting and athletic goods business. The Company is the owner of the Slinger Launcher, which is a portable tennis ball launcher, as well as other associated tennis accessories.

 

Effective February 25, 2020, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 to 300,000,000 via a four-to-one forward split of its outstanding shares of common stock. All share and per share information contained in this report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the impact of the stock split.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). As a result of the transactions described above, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the combined results of Slinger Bag Inc., Slinger Bag Americas, Slinger Bag Canada, Slinger Bag UK and SBL for the years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020. The contribution of the net assets of SBL is reflected as an equity contribution at historical cost on May 1, 2019, the beginning of the earliest period in which the entities were under common control. There was no historical activity in Slinger Bag Americas or Slinger Bag Canada prior to May 1, 2019. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $28,823,273 as of April 30, 2021, and more losses are anticipated in the development of the business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

F-13
 

 

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or being able to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from related parties, and/or private placement of debt and/or common stock.

 

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Financial Statement Reclassification

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The majority of payments due from banks for credit card transactions process within 24 to 48 hours and are accordingly classified as cash and cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s accounts receivable are non-interest bearing trade receivables resulting from the sale of products and payable over terms ranging from 15 to 60 days. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts at the point when collection is considered doubtful. Once all collection efforts have been exhausted, the Company charges-off the receivable with the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts as of April 30, 2021 or 2020.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of the cost (determined principally on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. The Company’s valuation of inventory includes inventory reserves for inventory that will be sold below cost and the impact of inventory shrink. Inventory reserves are based on historical information and assumptions about future demand and inventory shrink trends. The Company’s inventory as of April 30, 2021 consisted of $1,591,826 of finished goods, $1,777,028 of component and replacement parts, $347,362 of capitalized duty and freight, and a $23,000 inventory reserve. The Company’s inventory as of April 30, 2020 consisted of $663,750 of finished goods and $255,894 of component and replacement parts.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. While we may be exposed to credit risk, we consider the risk remote and do not expect that any such risk would result in a significant effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue for its performance obligation associated with its contracts with customers at a point in time once products are shipped. Amounts collected from customers in advance of shipping products ordered are reflected as deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s standard terms are non-cancelable and do not provide for the right-of-return, other than for defective merchandise covered under the Company’s standard warranty. The Company has not historically experienced any significant returns or warranty issues.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value, which prioritizes the inputs used in the methodologies of measuring fair value for assets and liabilities, is as follows:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3 - Unobservable pricing inputs in the market

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their categorization within the fair value hierarchy.

 

F-14
 

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity. The Company’s derivative liabilities were calculated using Level 2 assumptions on the issuance date via a Black-Scholes option pricing model whose assumptions are in line with the assumptions noted below in the warrant section.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized.

 

Intangible Asset

 

Intangible asset relates to the “Slinger” technology trademark, which the Company purchased on November 10, 2020. The trademark is amortized over its expected life of 20 years. Amortization expense for the year ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 was $2,730 and zero, respectively. The amount of amortization expense for each of the next five years will be approximately $5,800 per year.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. If those net undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value based on the market value or discounted expected cash flows of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. There was no impairment of long-lived assets identified during the year ended April 30, 2021 or 2020.

 

Share-Based Payment

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718). Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

 

Warrants

 

The Company grants warrants to key employees and executives as compensation on a discretionary basis. The Company also grants warrants in connection with certain note payable agreements and other key arrangements. The Company is required to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the measurement date and recognize as expense that value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest over the requisite service period. Warrants granted in connection with ongoing arrangements are more fully described in Note 7: Note Payable and Note 9: Shareholders’ Deficit.

 

F-15
 

 

The warrants granted during the year ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 were valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant using the following assumptions:

 

    2021   2020
Expected life in years   2 - 10 years   2 -10 years 
Stock price volatility    148% - 280%   121% - 144%
Risk free interest rate   0.12% - 1.64%   0.36% - 2.43%
Expected dividends    0%   0%

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

A portion of SBL’s operations are conducted in Israel and its functional currency is the Israeli Shekel, the Company’s operations of Slinger Bag Canada are conducted in its functional currency of Canadian Dollars, and the Company’s Slinger Bag UK operations are conducted in its functional currency of the British pound (GBP). The accounts of SBL, Slinger Bag Canada, and Slinger Bag UK have been translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”). Assets and liabilities are translated into USD at the applicable exchange rates at period-end. Shareholders’ equity is translated using historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Any translation adjustments are included as foreign currency translation adjustments on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period.

 

The Company had 6,921,299 and 8,137,859 common shares issuable as of April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, (see Note 5 and 6) which were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the effect is antidilutive. The Company also had outstanding notes payable convertible into zero and 7,465,811 shares of common stock as of April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, (see Note 6), outstanding warrants exercisable into 24,503,107 and 13,000,000 shares of common stock as of April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 21,786 and zero shares related to make-whole provisions as of April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, (see Note 7), which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the effect is antidilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for each of the periods presented.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU), 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which amends ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6: CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

On June 1, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible note payable agreement with Mont-Saic Investments LLC (“Mont-Saic”) which provided for borrowings of $1,700,000 bearing interest at a rate of 12.6% per annum. All outstanding amounts were due on the maturity date 360 days after the loan issue date. The Company may repay up to 50% of the outstanding balance on the loan prior to the maturity date at their discretion. The outstanding principal and accrued interest are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the debtholder at a conversion price equal to 75% of the lowest closing price of the common stock as defined in the agreement.

 

The convertible note payable agreement, as amended on September 11, 2019, also provided Mont-Saic with a warrant giving them the right to acquire 33% of the outstanding shares of SBL on a fully-diluted basis for no consideration up through one year after the maturity date. On September 16, 2019, Mont-Saic and Slinger Bag Inc. entered into a warrant assignment and conveyance agreement which updated Mont-Saic’s right to acquire 33% of the outstanding common stock shares of SBL to Slinger Bag Inc.

On May 6, 2020, the Company issued 1,216,560 shares of common stock as partial satisfaction of the shares issuable.

 

F-18
 

 

On June 1, 2020, the Company and Mont-Saic entered into an amendment to the convertible note payable agreement to eliminate the conversion right contained in the original agreement and extend the maturity date to June 1, 2021.

 

The Company evaluated the conversion option under the guidance in ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined it to have characteristics of a derivative liability. Under this guidance, this derivative liability is marked-to-market at each reporting period with the non-cash gain or loss recorded in the period as a gain or loss on derivatives. The value of the conversion option derivative amounted to $566,667 as of the issuance date on September 11, 2019, which was recorded as a discount to the outstanding note balance less $358,855 representing the amount of the conversion option exceeding the face value of the note payable which was recorded immediately as interest expense, and a derivative liability. On June 1, 2020, in connection with the elimination of the conversion option, this derivative ceased to exist and the value of the derivate of $566,667 was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt on the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended April 30, 2021.

 

The combined discount relating to the warrant and conversion option were amortized over the term of the agreement. Amortization of debt discounts during the year ended April 30, 2020 amounted to $1,493,939, and were recorded as amortization of debt discount in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The remaining $206,061 was amortized during the year ended April 30, 2021.

On November 20, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible note payable agreement for borrowings of $125,000 bearing interest at 12% per annum. All outstanding borrowings and accrued interest were due on November 20, 2020. The outstanding principal and accrued interest are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the debtholder at a conversion price equal to 70% of the lowest closing price of the common stock as defined in the agreement. On March 2, 2020, the holder elected to convert the outstanding principal of $125,000 and accrued interest of $4,274 into 369,354 shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the terms in the agreement.

 

The Company evaluated the conversion option under the guidance in ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined it to have characteristics of a derivative liability. Under this guidance, this derivative liability is marked-to-market at each reporting period with the non-cash gain or loss recorded in the period as a gain or loss on derivatives. The value of the conversion option derivative amounted to $53,571 as of the issuance date on November 20, 2019, which was initially recorded as a discount to the outstanding note balance and a derivative liability. The discount of $53,571 was fully amortized during the year ended April 30, 2020 upon the conversion of the outstanding note payable balance. Upon conversion of the note payable balance, the derivative liability amount of $53,571 was reclassified as additional paid-in capital as part of shareholders’ equity.

 

On February 11, 2020, the Company entered into a convertible note payable agreement for borrowings of $125,000 bearing interest at 12% per annum. All outstanding borrowings and accrued interest are due on February 11, 2021. The outstanding principal and accrued interest are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the debtholder at a conversion price equal to 70% of the lowest closing price of the common stock as defined in the agreement.

 

The Company evaluated the conversion option under the guidance in ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined it to have characteristics of a derivative liability. Under this guidance, this derivative liability is marked-to-market at each reporting period with the non-cash gain or loss recorded in the period as a gain or loss on derivatives. The value of the conversion option amounted to $53,571 as of the issuance date on February 11, 2020, which was initially recorded as a discount to the outstanding note balance and a derivative liability. The discount was being amortized over the term of the agreement.

 

On September 4, 2020, the Company and the convertible debt holder entered into an agreement to convert the outstanding convertible note payable balance of $125,000 and accrued interest of $8,466 into 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the guidance in ASC 470-20-40-16, the Company recognized an expense at the conversion date equal to the fair value of the shares transferred after the change in terms, less the fair value of securities issuable under the original conversion terms. The excess in value, which amounted to $51,412 was recorded as an induced conversion loss in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended April 30, 2021.

 

At the time of the conversion, the remaining debt discount was fully amortized and the derivative liability amount of $53,571 was reclassified as additional paid-in capital as part of shareholders’ equity. Amortization of debt discounts during the year ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 was $42,872 and $10,699, respectively, and was recorded as amortization of debt discount in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized discount balance amounted to zero and $42,872 as of April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

F-19
 

 

Total outstanding principal of convertible notes payable on April 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to zero and $1,825,000, respectively. The outstanding balances are netted with debt discounts at April 30, 2021 and 2020 of zero and $248,933, respectively.

 

NOTE 7: NOTE PAYABLE

 

On March 16, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note payable whereby the Company borrowed $500,000 bearing interest at 12% per annum. Interest on the note is payable monthly and outstanding principal on the note is due in full on March 16, 2022.

 

In connection with the promissory note payable on March 16, 2020, the Company issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to a 40% discount of the market price of the Company’s stock, as defined in the agreement. The warrants expire on March 16, 2022 and are fully vested upon issuance. The note was discounted by $112,990 based on an allocation of the value of the warrants issued. The discount recorded on the note was amortized into amortization of debt discount through the maturity date, which amounted to $35,542 and $6,965 for years ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

On December 15, 2020, the debt holder agreed to convert the outstanding note payable of $500,000 into 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock as full settlement of the promissory note payable. Accrued interest on the note was paid in cash. As a result of this settlement, the Company recognized the unamortized debt discount of $70,483 as a loss on extinguishment of debt on the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended April 30, 2021.

 

On June 30, 2020, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Mont-Saic to borrow $120,000. This loan bears interest at an annual rate of 12.6% and is required to be repaid in full, together with all accrued, but unpaid, interest by June 30, 2021. On December 3, 2020, Mont-Saic entered into an Assignment and Conveyance Agreement with the Company’s exiting related party lender wherein Mont-Saic sold its full right, title and interest in this note to the Company’s related party lender (see Note 5).

 

On December 24, 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note with a third-party to borrow $1,000,000. The promissory note bore interest at 2.25% and was due February 8, 2021. On February 2, 2021, the Company and the third-party entered into an amendment to extend the promissory note to April 30, 2021.

 

On April 11, 2021, the Company and the lender entered into an agreement whereby the lender converted the promissory note into 272,332 shares of Company stock, which were issued to the lender at a 20% discount from the closing price of the stock on the day prior to the conversion. In addition to the discount, the agreement contains a guarantee that the aggregate gross sales of the shares by the lender will be no less than $1,500,000 over the next three years and if the aggregate gross sales are less than $1,500,000 the Company will issue additional shares of common stock to the lender for the difference between the total gross proceeds and $1,500,000, which could result in an infinite number of shares being required to be issued.

 

The Company evaluated the conversion option of the note payable to shares under the guidance in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined the conversion option qualified for equity classification. The Company also evaluated the profit guarantee under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined it to be a make-whole provision, which is an embedded derivative within the host instrument. As the economic characteristics are dissimilar to the host instrument, the profit guarantee was bifurcated from the host instrument and stated as a separate derivative liability, which is marked to market at the end of each reporting period with the non-cash gain or loss recorded in the period as a gain or loss on derivative.

 

On the date of conversion, the Company recognized a $1,501,914 loss on extinguishment of debt, which represented the difference between the promissory note and the fair value of the shares issued of $1,250,004, which were recorded in shares issued in connection with conversion of note payable within shareholders’ equity, as well as the derivative liability of $1,251,910, which was valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

The fair value of the derivative liability was $1,229,851 as of April 30, 2021, and the Company recognized a gain on change in fair value of $22,059 for the year ended April 30, 2021.

On April 15, 2021, the Company entered into a $2,000,000 note payable (the “Note”). The Note matures April 14, 2023 and bears interest at fifteen percent (15%) per year. The Company pays interest at maturity, at which time all principal and unpaid interest is due.

 

The Note is collateralized by all business assets, including patents, trademarks and other intellectual property. It is also collateralized by the ownership of Slinger Bag Americas, Inc., Slinger Bag Canada, Inc., Slinger Bag Limited, and Slinger Bag International (UK) Limited.

 

In connection with the Note, the Company issued 2,200,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.25. The exercise price has customary anti-dilution protection for stock splits, mergers, etc. Additionally, the warrant contains a stipulation that the Company will guarantee the value of the shares sold will be no less, on average, than $1.50 per share through April 15, 2023. If the value is less than $1.50, the Company will issue additional shares of common stock to compensate for the shortfall, which could result in an infinite number of shares being required to be issued.

 

The Company evaluated the warrants and the profit guarantee under the guidance in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined they represent a derivative liability given the profit guarantee represents a make-whole provision that is not separated from the host instrument. The derivative liability is marked to market at the end of each reporting period with the non-cash gain or loss recorded in the period as a gain or loss on derivative.

 

The fair value of the derivative liability on the date of the execution of the Note was valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model at $14,501,178, which was first allocated as a discount to the Note payable of $2,000,0000, which will be amortized using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the Note, with the remainder of the value of $12,501,178 recorded as interest expense.

 

Amortization of debt discounts during the year ended April 30, 2021 was $10,477, which was recorded as amortization of debt discount in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized discount balance amounted to $1,989,523 as of April 30, 2021.

 

The fair value of the derivative liability was $12,583,598 as of April 30, 2021, and the Company recognized a gain on change in fair value of $1,917,580 for the year ended April 30, 2021.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Organization

 

Lazex Inc. (“Lazex”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 12, 2015. On August 23, 2019, the majority owner of Lazex entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Slinger Bag Americas Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Slinger Bag Americas”), which was 100% owned by Slinger Bag Ltd. (“SBL”), an Israeli company. In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, Slinger Bag Americas acquired 20,000,000 shares of common stock of Lazex for $332,239. On September 16, 2019, SBL transferred its ownership of Slinger Bag Americas to Lazex in exchange for the 20,000,000 shares of Lazex acquired on August 23, 2019. As a result of these transactions, Lazex owned 100% of Slinger Bag Americas and the sole shareholder of SBL owned 20,000,000 shares of common stock (approximately 82%) of Lazex. Effective September 13, 2019, Lazex changed its name to Slinger Bag Inc.

 

On October 31, 2019, Slinger Bag Americas acquired control of Slinger Bag Canada, Inc., (“Slinger Bag Canada”) a Canadian company incorporated on November 3, 2017. There were no assets, liabilities or historical operational activity of Slinger Bag Canada at that time.

 

On February 10, 2020, Slinger Bag Americas became the 100% owner of SBL, along with SBL’s wholly owned subsidiary Slinger Bag International (UK) Limited (“Slinger Bag UK”), which was formed on April 3, 2019. The owner of SBL contributed it to Slinger Bag Americas for no consideration.

 

On June 21, 2021, Slinger Bag Americas entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Charles Ruddy to acquire a 100% ownership stake in Foundation Sports Systems, LLC (“Foundation Sports”) (see Note 4).

 

The operations of Slinger Bag Inc., Slinger Bag Americas, Slinger Bag Canada, Slinger Bag UK, SBL and Foundation Sports are collectively referred to as the “Company.”

 

The Company operates in the sporting and athletic goods business. The Company is the owner of the Slinger Launcher, which is a portable tennis ball launcher, as well as other associated tennis accessories.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). As a result of the transactions described above, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the combined results of Slinger Bag Inc., Slinger Bag Americas, Slinger Bag Canada, Slinger Bag UK, SBL and Foundation Sports for the periods presented. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $73,454,066 as of January 31, 2022, and more losses are anticipated in the development of the business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

F-30
 

 

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or being able to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from related parties, and/or private placement of debt and/or common stock. In respect to additional financing, refer to Notes 5, 6, 7, and 12. In the event that the Company is unable to successfully raise capital and/or generate revenues, the Company will likely reduce general and administrative expenses, and cease or delay its development plan until it is able to obtain sufficient financing. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

 

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and based upon Securities and Exchange Commission rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. For a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information, you should refer to the financial statements included in Slinger Bag Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2021. These financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition for the interim periods shown, including normal recurring accruals and other items. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Financial Statement Reclassification

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in these consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The majority of payments due from banks for credit card transactions process within 24 to 48 hours and are accordingly classified as cash and cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s accounts receivable are non-interest bearing trade receivables resulting from the sale of products and payable over terms ranging from 15 to 60 days. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts at the point when collection is considered doubtful. Once all collection efforts have been exhausted, the Company charges-off the receivable with the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company had a $10,000 and $0 allowance for doubtful accounts as of January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2021, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of the cost (determined principally on a first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. The Company’s valuation of inventory includes inventory reserves for inventory that will be sold below cost and the impact of inventory shrink. Inventory reserves are based on historical information and assumptions about future demand and inventory shrink trends. The Company’s inventory as of January 31, 2022 consisted of $4,532,972 of finished goods, $2,441,085 of component and replacement parts, $1,945,664 of capitalized duty and freight, and a $250,000 inventory reserve. The Company’s inventory as of April 30, 2021 consisted of $1,591,826 of finished goods, $1,777,028 of component and replacement parts, $347,362 of capitalized duty and freight, and a $23,000 inventory reserve.

 

F-31
 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. While we may be exposed to credit risk, we consider the risk remote and do not expect that any such risk would result in a significant effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue for its performance obligation associated with its contracts with customers at a point in time once products are shipped. Amounts collected from customers in advance of shipping products ordered are reflected as deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s standard terms are non-cancelable and do not provide for the right-of-return, other than for defective merchandise covered under the Company’s standard warranty. The Company has not historically experienced any significant returns or warranty issues.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value, which prioritizes the inputs used in the methodologies of measuring fair value for assets and liabilities, is as follows:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3 — Unobservable pricing inputs in the market

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their categorization within the fair value hierarchy.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity.

 

The Company’s derivative liabilities were calculated using Level 2 assumptions on the issuance and balance sheet dates via a Black-Scholes option pricing model and consisted of the following ending balances and gain amounts as of and for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2022:

 

Note derivative is related to  January 31, 2022 ending balance   Gain (loss) for three months ended January 31, 2022  

Gain (loss)

for nine

months ended

January 31, 2022

 
4/11/21 conversion of 12/24/20 note payable  $1,027,509   $232,027   $(202,342)

Total  $8,926,083   $(5,943,967)  $(15,074,880)

 

The Black-Scholes option pricing model assumptions for the derivative liabilities during the nine months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 consisted of the following:

 

   2022   2021 
Expected life in years   1.7 – 5.0 years    N/A 
Stock price volatility   50% - 155%   N/A

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more likely than not to be realized.

Goodwill

 

The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). ASC 350 requires that goodwill not be amortized, but reviewed for impairment if impairment indicators arise and, at a minimum, annually.

 

The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit with goodwill to its carrying value. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units with goodwill using a combination of a discounted cash flow and a market value approach. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, goodwill is not impaired and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company must perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and compare it to the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. The activities in the second step include valuing the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference.

 

There was no impairment of goodwill during the nine months ended January 31, 2022 or 2021.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets relate to the “Slinger” technology trademark, which the Company purchased on November 10, 2020, as well as the intangible assets related to the purchase of Foundation Sports on June 21, 2021 (see Note 4). The Slinger trademark is amortized over its expected life of 20 years. Amortization expense for the nine months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 related to the Slinger trademark was $4,348 and $1,299, respectively.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. If those net undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value based on the market value or discounted expected cash flows of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. There was no impairment of long-lived assets identified during the nine months ended January 31, 2022 or 2021.

 

Share-Based Payments

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under the fair value recognition provisions of this topic, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

 

Warrants

 

The Company grants warrants to key employees and executives as compensation on a discretionary basis. The Company also grants warrants in connection with certain note payable agreements and other key arrangements. The Company is required to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the measurement date and recognize as expense that value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest over the requisite service period. Warrants granted in connection with ongoing arrangements are more fully described in Note 6: Convertible Notes Payable, Note 7: Note Payable and Note 10: Shareholders’ Equity.

 

The warrants granted during the nine months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 were valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant using the following assumptions:

 

    2022     2021  
Expected life in years     5 – 10 years       5-10 years  
Stock price volatility     50.0% - 156.7 %     148.3% - 151.9 %
Risk free interest rate     0.77% - 1.63 %     0.68% - 0.85 %
Expected dividends     0 %     0 %

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

A portion of SBL’s operations are conducted in Israel and its functional currency is the Israeli Shekel, the Company’s operations of Slinger Bag Canada are conducted in its functional currency of Canadian Dollars, and the Company’s Slinger Bag UK operations are conducted in its functional currency of the British pound (“GBP”). The accounts of SBL, Slinger Bag Canada, and Slinger Bag UK have been translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”). Assets and liabilities are translated into USD at the applicable exchange rates at period-end. Shareholders’ equity is translated using historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Any translation adjustments are included as foreign currency translation adjustments on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period.

 

The Company had 0 and 6,921,299 common shares issuable as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, which were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the effect is antidilutive. The Company also had outstanding convertible notes payable that were convertible into 4,400,000 and 0 shares of common stock as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, outstanding warrants exercisable into 37,272,401 and 16,200,000 shares of common stock as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 642,303 and 0 shares related to make-whole provisions as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the effect is antidilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for each of the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which amends ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). This update is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and amending existing guidance to improve consistent application of ASC 740. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The guidance in this update has various elements, some of which are applied on a prospective basis and others on a retrospective basis with earlier application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Other recently issued accounting pronouncements did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material effect on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 4: ACQUISITIONS

 

On June 21, 2021, the Company completed one immaterial acquisition by entering into a membership interest purchase agreement (“MIPA”) with Charles Ruddy (the “Seller”) to acquire a 100% ownership stake in Foundation Sports Systems, LLC (“Foundation Sports”) in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to be issued to the Seller and two other Foundation Sports employees in three tranches (the “Purchase Price”): (i) 600,000 shares of common stock on the closing date, (ii) 200,000 shares of common stock on the first anniversary of the closing date and (iii) 200,000 shares of common stock on the second anniversary of the closing date (collectively, the “Shares”), provided that 10% of the Shares of each tranche will be held back by the Company and not delivered to the recipients for a period of 12 months from the date of their issuance. The Shares are subject to a 12-month lock-up from their date of delivery during which time they may not be offered or sold by the Seller or any other recipient thereof without the express written consent of the Company. On June 23, 2021, the Company issued 540,000 shares of its common stock to the receipts under the MIPA, which consisted of 600,000 shares less a hold-back of 10% (i.e., 60,000 shares).

 

The Company allocated the aggregate purchase price for the acquisition based upon the tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of liabilities. The allocation of the purchase price is detailed below:

 

    Allocation of
purchase price
 
Trade name   $ 70,000  
Internally developed software     240,000  
Customer relationships     2,000,000  
Goodwill     1,240,000  
Total purchase price   $ 3,550,000  

 

The trade name, internally developed software, and customer relationships will be amortized over their expected lives of 6, 4, and 7 years, respectively. Amortization expense for the nine months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 related to the Foundation Sports intangibles was $218,400 and 0, respectively.

 

NOTE 5: NOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY

 

Beginning in October 2019, the Company entered into several loan agreements with a related party entity controlled by the former shareholder of Slinger Bag Canada. Total outstanding borrowings from this related party as of April 30, 2021 amounted to $6,220,000, which was gross of total discounts of $76,777 and consisted of the following:

 

Note date   Maturity date   Interest rate     April 30, 2021  
6/1/2019   6/1/2021     9.5 %   $ 1,700,000  
6/30/2020   6/30/2021     9.5 %     120,000  
8 notes from 10/2019 – 8/2020   9/1/2021     9.5 %     3,850,000  
9/15/2020   9/15/2021     9.5 %     250,000  
11/24/2020   11/24/2021     9.5 %     300,000  
Total notes payable               $ 6,220,000  

 

On May 26, 2021, the Company and the related party lender entered into a note conversion agreement (the “Note Conversion Agreement”) whereby the related party lender agreed to convert its total outstanding borrowings as of that date of $6,220,000 into 1,636,843 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Note Conversion Agreement contains a guarantee that the aggregate gross sales of the shares by the related party will be no less than $6,220,000 over the next three years and if the aggregate gross sales are less than $6,220,000 the Company will issue additional shares of common stock to the related party for the difference between the total gross proceeds and $6,220,000, which could result in an infinite number of shares being required to be issued.

 

The Company evaluated the conversion option of the notes payable to shares under the guidance in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), and determined the conversion option qualified for equity classification. The Company also evaluated the profit guarantee under ASC 815 and determined it to be a make-whole provision, which is an embedded derivative within the host instrument. As the economic characteristics of the make-whole provision are dissimilar to the host instrument, the profit guarantee was bifurcated from the host instrument and stated as a separate derivative liability, which is marked to market at the end of each reporting period with the non-cash gain or loss recorded in the period as a gain or loss on derivative.

 

On the date of conversion the Company recognized a $5,118,435 loss on extinguishment of debt, which represented the difference between the $6,220,000 in notes payable that were converted and the fair value of the shares issued of $6,220,003, which were recorded in shares issued for conversion of notes payable – related party within shareholders’ equity, the derivative liability of $5,052,934, which was valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the write-off of the unamortized debt discount of $65,498. Amortization of the debt discounts during the three months ended July 31, 2021, prior to the notes’ conversion, was $11,279, which was recorded in amortization of debt discounts in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

F-34
 

 

Per the terms of the Note Conversion Agreement the accrued interest related to the notes payable was not converted into shares and is still due to the related party. The Company and the related party agreed that interest will continue to accrue on the outstanding accrued interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum and will be paid in full by May 25, 2022.

 

On July 23, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement with its related party lender for borrowings of $500,000. The loan is to be repaid within 30 days of receipt and shall bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum.

 

On August 4, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement with its related party lender for borrowings of $500,000. The loan is to be repaid within 30 days of receipt and shall bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum.

 

On August 11, 2021, the Company repaid the outstanding principal and interest to its related party lender for the July 23, 2021 loan of $500,000 and the August 4, 2021 loan of $500,000.

 

On August 31, 2021, the Company’s related party lender canceled the guarantee in the Note Conversion Agreement that the aggregate gross sales of its converted shares will be no less than $6,220,000. In connection with the elimination of the profit guarantee the derivative liability ceased to exist at that time. On August 31, 2021, the fair value of the derivative liability was remeasured using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and determined to be $2,185,185. The change in fair value of the derivative through August 31, 2021, was recognized as a gain on change in fair value of derivatives of $2,867,749 for the nine months ended January 31, 2022, and the remaining value of the derivative of $2,185,185 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital as part of shareholders’ equity during the three months ended October 31, 2021 due to the related party nature of the transaction.

 

On January 14, 2022, the Company entered into two loan agreements with Yonah Kalfa and Naftali Kalfa, each for $1,000,000, pursuant to which the Company received a total amount of $2,000,000. The loans bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum and are required to be repaid in full by April 30, 2022 or such other date as may be accepted by the lenders. The Company is not permitted to make any distribution or pay any dividends unless or until the loans are repaid in full.

 

There was $2,000,000 in outstanding borrowings from related parties as of January 31, 2022. Interest expense related to the related parties for the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $28,167 and $137,480, respectively. Interest expense related to related parties for the nine months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $106,895 and $454,029, respectively. Accrued interest due to related parties as of January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2021 amounted to $850,092 and $747,636, respectively.

 

NOTE 6: CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

On August 6, 2021, the Company consummated the closing (the “Closing”) of a private placement offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 6, 2021 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”). At the Closing, the Company sold to the Purchasers (i) 8% Senior Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $11,000,000 and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 7,333,334 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Warrants” and together with the Convertible Notes, the “Securities”). The Company received an aggregate of $11,000,000 in gross proceeds from the Offering, before deducting offering expenses and commissions.

 

F-35
 

 

The Convertible Notes mature on August 6, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”) and bear interest at 8% per annum payable on each conversion date (as to that principal amount then being converted), on each redemption date as well as mandatory redemption date (as to that principal amount then being redeemed) and on the Maturity Date, in cash. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time following the date of issuance and prior to Mandatory Conversion (as defined in the Convertible Notes) at the conversion price equal to the lesser of: (i) $3.00, subject to adjustment set forth in the Convertible Notes and (ii) in the case of an uplist to the NASDAQ, the Uplist Conversion Price (as defined in the Convertible Notes) of the Company’s common stock during the two Trading Day (as defined in the Convertible Notes) period after each conversion date; provided, however, that at any time from and after December 31, 2021 or an Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Notes), the holder of the Convertible Notes may, by delivery of written notice to the Company, elect to cause all, or any part, of the Convertible Notes to be converted, at any time thereafter, each an “Alternate Conversion”, pursuant to the Section 4(f) of the Convertible Notes, all, or any part of, the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes into shares of Common Stock at the Alternate Conversion price. The Convertible Notes rank pari passu with all other notes now or thereafter issued under the terms set forth in the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes contain certain price protection provisions providing for adjustment of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in case of certain future dilutive events or stock-splits and dividends.

 

The Warrants are exercisable for five years from August 6, 2021, at an exercise price equal to the lesser of $30.00 or a 20% discount to the public offering price that a share of the Company’s common stock or unit (if units are offered) is offered to the public resulting in the commencement of trading of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange or NYSE American. The Warrants contain certain price protection provisions providing for adjustment of the amount of securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants in case of certain future dilutive events or stock-splits and dividends.

 

The Company evaluated the Warrants and the conversion options under the guidance in ASC 815 and determined they represent derivative liabilities given the variability in the exercise and conversion prices upon the event of an up list to the NASDAQ. The Company also evaluated the other embedded features in the agreement and determined the interest make-whole provision and the subsequent financing redemption represent put features that are also accounted for as derivative liabilities. The derivative liabilities are marked to market at the end of each reporting period with the non-cash gain or loss recorded in the period as a gain or loss on derivative (see Note 3).

 

The Warrants were valued at $12,026,668 on the date of issuance using a Monte Carlo simulation that accounted for the variability in the exercise price upon the event of an up list based on the Company’s expected future stock prices over the five-year term using inputs in line with those listed in Note 3. The remaining derivatives were valued at $1,862,450 on the issuance date based on the present value of their weighted average probability value.

 

As part of the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company incurred and capitalized debt issuance costs of $800,251 related to brokerage and legal fees that met the debt issuance cost capitalization criteria of ASC 835. The total discount related to the Convertible Notes on the date of issuance of $14,689,369 exceeded their value, which resulted in the Company recognizing a $3,689,369 loss on the issuance of the Convertible Notes during the three months ended October 31, 2021. The discount on the Convertible Notes will be amortized through the maturity date on a straight-line basis. Amortization of the debt discount during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2022 was $2,750,000 and $5,377,778, which was recorded in amortization of debt discounts in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

 

On December 31, 2021, the Company entered into an Omnibus Amendment Agreement (the “Omnibus Agreement”) with certain Purchasers who are collectively holders of 67% or more of the Securities outstanding related to the August 6, 2021 Convertible Notes, amending each of (i) the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement. Simultaneously with the execution of the Omnibus Agreement, the Company issued to each Purchaser a Replacement Note (as defined below) in replacement of the Convertible Note held prior to December 31, 2021 by such Purchaser (each, an “Existing Note”).

 

The Purchase Agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) delete Exhibit A and replace it in its entirety with the 8% Senior Convertible Note (the “Replacement Note”) filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s current report on Form 8-K dated January 5, 2021, (ii) add a new definition of “Inventory Financing”, (iii) amend Section 4.18 to add at the end of Section 4.18 before the final period “, it being agreed that the provisions of this Section 4.18 shall not apply to the Qualified Subsequent Financing expected to occur after the date hereof”, (iv) delete Section 4.20 and replace it in its entirety with substantially the same text, including the following after the period, replacing the period with a semicolon: “; provided that the provisions of this Section 4.20 shall not apply to (i) in respect of any Holder to the extent that such Holder is an investor or a purchaser of the securities offered pursuant such Subsequent Financing, and (ii) with respect to an Inventory Financing.”, and (v) add a new Section 4.21. Most-Favored Nation provision.

 

The Registration Rights Agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) delete the definition “Effectiveness Date” in Section 1 and replace it in its entirety with substantially the same text but revise the definition of “Effectiveness Date” causing the Initial Registration Statement required to be filed by January 31, 2022, and (ii) delete Section 2(d) and replace it in its entirety with substantially the same text but revised to delete the following “(2) no liquidated damages shall accrue or be payable hereunder with respect to any day on which the high price of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded is less than the then-applicable Conversion Price,” resulting in renumbering the text that follows as (2) instead of (3).

 

As consideration for entering into the Omnibus Agreement, the outstanding principal balance of the Existing Note held by each Purchaser was increased by twenty percent (20%) and such increased principal balance is reflected on the Replacement Note issued to each Purchaser. The Company recognized a $2,200,000 loss on issuance of convertible notes during the three months ended January 31, 2022 related to this amendment.

 

The fair value of the derivative liability related to the Convertible Notes was $7,898,574 as of January 31, 2022, and the Company recognized a gain on change in fair value of $6,175,994 and $5,990,544 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2022.

 

Total outstanding borrowings related to the Convertible Notes as of January 31, 2022 were $13,200,000. The outstanding amount is net of total discounts of $5,622,222 for a net book value of $7,577,778 as of January 31, 2022. Interest expense related to the Convertible Notes for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2022 was $234,799 and $445,021, respectively.

 

F-36
 

 

NOTE 7: NOTE PAYABLE

 

On April 15, 2021, the Company entered into a $2,000,000 note payable (the “Note”). The Note matures April 14, 2023 and bears interest at fifteen percent (15%) per year. The Company pays interest at maturity, at which time all principal and unpaid interest is due.

 

The Note is collateralized by all business assets, including patents, trademarks and other intellectual property. It is also collateralized by the ownership of Slinger Bag Americas, Slinger Bag Canada, SBL, and Slinger Bag UK.

 

In connection with the Note, the Company issued 2,200,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.25. The exercise price has customary anti-dilution protection for stock splits, mergers, etc. Additionally, the warrants contain a stipulation that the Company will guarantee the value of the shares sold will be no less, on average, than $1.50 per share through April 15, 2023. If the average value of the shares sold is less than $1.50 per share, the Company will issue additional shares of common stock to compensate for the shortfall, which could result in an infinite number of shares being required to be issued.

 

The Company evaluated the warrants and the profit guarantee under the guidance in ASC 815 and determined they represent a derivative liability given the profit guarantee represents a make-whole provision that is not separated from the host instrument. The derivative liability is marked to market at the end of each reporting period with the non-cash gain or loss recorded in the period as a gain or loss on derivative (see Note 3).

 

On August 6, 2021, the Company used the net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes (see Note 6) to pay 100% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the Note.

 

Amortization of the debt discount related to the Note during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2022 was $0 and $11,228, respectively, which was recorded in amortization of debt discounts in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. On the date the Note was paid off the unamortized debt discount balance of $1,978,295 was recognized as a loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended October 31, 2021.

 

On August 6, 2021, the Note payable holder exercised its right to convert its 2,200,000 outstanding warrants into shares of common stock of the Company. At the conversion date the Note payable holder also agreed to cancel the guarantee that the value of the shares sold will be no less, on average, than $1.50 per share through April 15, 2023.☐ In connection with the elimination of the profit guarantee the derivative liability ceased to exist at that time. On August 6, 2021, the fair value of the derivative liability was remeasured using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and determined to be $6,569,353. The change in fair value of the derivative through August 6, 2021, was recognized as a gain on change in fair value of derivatives of $0 and $6,014,245 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2022, respectively, and the remaining value of the derivative of $6,569,353 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital as part of shareholders’ equity during the three months ended October 31, 2021 due to the related party nature of the transaction.

 

There were no outstanding borrowings related to the Note as of January 31, 2022. Interest expense related to the Note for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2022 amounted to $0 and $106,667, respectively.

 

NOTE 8: NOTE RECEIVABLE

 

On July 21, 2021, the Company entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement with PlaySight Interactive Ltd (the “Borrower”) wherein the Company granted the Borrower a line of credit with a six-month maturity date. Any borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum.

 

On July 26, 2021, the Company issued $300,000 to the Borrower under the line of credit. On August 26, 2021 and October 5, 2021, the Company issued an additional $700,000 and $400,000, respectively, to the Borrower under the line of credit. On November 17, 2021, December 7, 2021, and January 14, 2022, the Company issued an additional $300,000, $300,000, and $250,000, respectively, to the Borrower under the line of credit.

 

As of January 31, 2022, the total note receivable balance was $2,250,000. Interest income related to the note receivable for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2022 amounted to $70,130 and $105,349, respectively, which is included in interest expense, net on the consolidated statement of operations.

NOTE 12: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On February 2, 2022, Slinger Bag Australia Pty Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Slinger Bag Americas Inc. (which, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Slinger Bag Inc.) completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Flixsense Pty Ltd. d/b/a Gameface (“Gameface”) pursuant to share purchase agreements entered into with each of the shareholders of Gameface on February 2, 2022 (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) in exchange for the issuance and delivery of 6,045,855 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 478,225 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.001 per share, in each case, in reliance on reliance on the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof for transactions not involving a public offering and the safe harbors afforded by Rule 506 and Rule 902 thereunder, (collectively, the “Consideration Shares”) to the Gameface shareholders and the payment of $500,000 to Jalaluddin Shaik to be made by the end of March 2022 in lieu of the issuance of 142,587 shares of common stock that Mr. Shaik would otherwise have been entitled to receive. Gameface shareholders also were granted piggyback registration rights, which expire when any applicable Consideration Shares can be freely traded pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

 

Out of the Consideration Shares, the Company has retained 666,667 shares as security for the obligations of Mr. Shaik and Divyaa Jalal, as trustees for the Jalaluddin Shaik Family Trust, in respect of any claim which may be made by or on behalf of the Company for breach of warranty or under an indemnity given under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreements by August 2, 2023. The retained shares will be issued promptly after August 2, 2023 to the extent that the Company has not made any such claims by that date.

 

On October 6, 2021, the Company entered into a merger agreement (the “PlaySight Agreement”) with PlaySight Interactive Ltd. (“PlaySight”) and Rohit Krishnan, in his capacity as the Shareholders’ Representative (as defined in the PlaySight Agreement) (the “Shareholder Representative”), pursuant to which PlaySight will, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On February 16, 2022, SB Merger Sub Ltd., a private company formed under the laws of the State of Israel and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, PlaySight, and the Shareholders’ Representative, entered into an Addendum to and Amendment to the PlaySight Agreement (the “Amendment”) to finalize the merger transaction.

 

Under the terms of the PlaySight Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, to issue 28,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to adjustment) in exchange for the merger (the “Completion Merger Consideration”). As a result of the parties to the Agreement having agreed to such adjustment, the parties to the Amendment have agreed that the Completion Merger Consideration shall comprise the issue by the Company of 25,379,683 shares of the Company’s common stock and the Options in exchange for the merger, and a cash sum equal to the value of 1,524,899 shares of the Company’s common stock (which would otherwise have been issued in exchange for the merger) to be used to cover certain expenses.

 

Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Amendment, the Company agreed to purchase a certain number of shares of its common stock from certain of PlaySight’s shareholders for a maximum aggregate liability of $1.44 million and to issue a total of 1,428,571 options (the “Options”), exercisable into 1,428,571 shares of the Company’s common stock, to certain of PlaySight’s employees.

In connection with the closing of the merger, the Convertible Loan Agreement between the Company and PlaySight that was entered into on July 21, 2021, was extinguished.

 

On February 15, 2022, for and in consideration of $4,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) the Company conveyed, sold, transferred, set over, assigned and delivered to Slinger Bag Consignment, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Consignor”) all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to 13,000 units of certain surplus inventory, including all components, parts, additions and accessions thereto (collectively, the “Consigned Goods”). The Company also agreed to purchase the Consigned Goods from Consignor and make the following payments to Consignor:

 

a)On or before March 15, 2022, the Company shall pay to Consignor $557,998 for the purchase of 1,421 Consigned Goods.
   
b)The Company also agreed to purchase the remaining Consigned Goods in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

 

i.Within 3 business days after a Registration Statement (as defined in the Purchase and Registration Rights Agreements) filed under the Registration Rights Agreement for the Company’s uplist to the Nasdaq is declared to be effective (the “Registration Effective Date”) under the Securities Act (as defined in the Purchase and Registration Rights Agreements) by the Commission (as defined in the Purchase and Registration Rights Agreements), the Company shall pay Consignor $4,546,841 for the purchase of 11,579 Consigned Goods.
   
ii.If the Registration Statement Effectiveness Date does not occur on or before April 14, 2022, on April 15, 2022, the Company shall pay Consignor $1,244,010 for the purchase of 3,168 Consigned Goods.
   
iii.If the Registration Effectiveness Date does not occur on or before April 30, 2022, on May 1, 2022, the Company shall pay Consignor $3,302,831 for the purchase 8,411 Consigned Goods.

 

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. We are closely monitoring the unfolding events due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and its regional and global ramifications. We have one distributor in Russia, which is not material to our overall financial results. We do not have operations in Ukraine or Belarus. We are monitoring any broader economic impact from the current crisis. The specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these financial statements. However, to the extent that such military action spreads to other countries, intensifies, or otherwise remains active, such action could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Shareholders of

PLAYSIGHT INTERACTIVE LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARY

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of PlaySight Interactive Ltd. and its subsidiary, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and the related consolidated statements of operation, Convertible Preferred Shares and Shareholders’ Deficit and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of PlaySight Interactive Ltd. and its subsidiary at December 31, 2021, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1(b) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has recurring operating losses, has a working capital deficiency, and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters also are described in Note 1(b). The most recent year consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTE 1:- GENERAL

 

  a. PlaySight Interactive Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Israel in May 2010 under the laws of the state of Israel and commenced its operations on the same date. In March 2014, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States under the name of PlaySight Interactive USA Inc. (the “U.S. Subsidiary”), which is engaged primarily in customer support and marketing the Company’s service. The Company engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling of advanced video and analytics technologies for sports courts around the world.
     
  b. The Company’s ability to continue to operate is dependent on the ability to market and sell its products, development of new products and raise additional financing until profitability is achieved. In respect of additional financing, see notes 6, 7 and 8. The Company incurred operating losses in the amount of $4,586 during the year ended December 31, 2021 and has an accumulated deficit of $45,386 as of December 31, 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments with respect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their classification that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue to operate as a going concern. In the event that the Company is unable to successfully raise capital and/or generate revenues, the Company will likely reduce general and administrative expenses, and cease or delay its development plan until it is able to obtain sufficient financing. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.
     
  c. On March 29, 2021, the Company signed a non-binding term-sheet with Slinger Bag Inc. (the “Purchaser”) to acquire the entire share capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis for a total consideration of 28,333,333 newly issued shares of the Purchaser. On October 6, 2021 the Company and the Purchaser signed a merger agreement pursuant to which the Purchaser will acquire all the outstanding securities of the Company in exchange for the following consideration:

 

  (i) 28,333,333 newly issued common shares of the Purchaser
  (ii)  Payment of the Company’s certain transaction related costs; and
  (iii) Up to a maximum an additional 5,142,858 newly issued common shares of the Purchaser as earn-out subject to fulfilment of certain milestones.

 

    The merger is conditional upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions on or before February 28, 2022. As of December 31, 2021, the Company incurred and accrued a total of $901 of transaction related costs that are due from the Purchaser which are included in the Company’s balance sheet as part of prepaid expenses and other accounts receivable. There are no assurances, that post-merger the Company will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources that are required to fulfill its financial obligations or for the long-term development and commercialization of its product offering.
     
  d. The Company has been carefully monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on its business. In that regard, while the Company has continued to sell its products and grow its business it did experience certain disruptions in its supply chains. The Company expects the significance of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of its effect on the Company’s financial and operational results, to be dictated by, among other things, its duration, the success of efforts to contain it and the impact of actions taken in response. While the Company has not experienced any material disruptions to its business and operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible such disruptions may occur in the future which may impact its financial and operational results, and which could be material.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

  a. Use of estimates:

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP and requires the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the estimated customer life on deferred contract acquisition costs, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, the useful life of acquired property and equipment and impairment of long-lived assets, share-based compensation including the determination of the fair value of the Company’s ordinary shares, convertible loans, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and such differences may be material.

 

Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  b. Financial statements in U.S. dollars:

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in dollars.

 

The majority of the Company’s revenues and financing activities are incurred in U.S. dollars. Although a portion of the Company’s expenses is denominated in New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”)(mainly cost of personnel), a portion of its expenses is denominated in dollars. Accordingly, the Company’s management believes that the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and its subsidiary operate is the dollar; thus, the dollar is the functional currency of the Company. Transactions and balances denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Monetary accounts denominated in currencies other than the dollar are re-measured into dollars in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. All transaction gains and losses of the re-measurement of monetary balance sheet items are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.

 

  c. Principles of consolidation:

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

  d. Cash and cash equivalents:

 

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of the cash balances reported on the balance sheets and the cash and restricted cash at the end of the year balances reported in the statements of cash flows:

 

   December 31 
   2021   2020 
         
Cash as reported on the balance sheets   709    1,251 
Restricted cash as reported on the balance sheets   159    155 
           
Cash and restricted cash in the statements of cash flows   868    1,406 

 

  e. Restricted cash:

 

Restricted cash is restricted bank deposits with maturities of up to one year and are pledged in favor of the bank as a security for the bank guaranties issued to the landlords of the Company’s offices and credit card payments. The short-term restricted bank deposits are denominated in NIS and USD and bear interest at an average rate of 0.01% as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. The short-term restricted bank deposits are presented at their cost, including accrued interest.

 

  f. Account receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts:

 

The Company’s account receivables are derived from sales to customers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ balances and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on factors that may affect a customers’ ability to pay, such as known disputes, age of the receivable balance and past experience. Allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $113 and $221 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company writes off receivables when they are deemed uncollectible, having exhausted all collection efforts.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

  g. Inventories:

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises costs of purchase and costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Inventory write-down is measured as the difference between the cost of the inventory and net realizable value upon assumptions about future demand and is charged to the cost of sales.

 

Cost of inventories is determined as follows:

 

Raw Materials - cost is determined on the actual cost on a weighted average basis.

 

Finished products- cost is determined on the actual costs on a weighted average basis.

 

No inventory write-offs were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

  h. Property and equipment:

 

Property and equipment are measured at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated via the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. The following are the annual depreciation rates for various types of property and equipment:

 

   %   Mainly % 
         
Computers and software   33    - 
Office furniture and equipment   7 - 15    15 
Leasehold improvements   6.5    - 

 

  i. Impairment of long-lived assets:

 

The long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, no impairment indicators have been identified.

  j. Revenue recognition:

 

The Company offers its customers a cloud-based solution combining Products, including video cameras, laptops, other related equipment and a proprietary back-end cloud platform software, and Services including integration services, support services and access to the Company’s website and applications. These together create an integrated system that provides the Company’s customers with services such as live streaming, automated broadcasting, VOD, ball and event tracking etc. (the “Solution”).

 

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The core principle of this revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

 

The Company determines that it has a contract with a customer when each party’s rights

regarding the products or services to be transferred can be identified, the payment terms for the services can be identified, the Company has determined the customer has the ability and intent to pay, and the contract has commercial substance. At contract inception, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract and whether the combined or single contract includes more than one performance obligation.

 

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

 

The Company’s customers are buying an integrated system that provides them with the Solution. In evaluating whether the equipment is a separate performance obligation, the Company’s management considered the customer’s ability to benefit from the equipment on its own or together with other readily available resources and if so, whether the service and equipment are separately identifiable (i.e., is the service highly dependent on, or highly interrelated with the equipment). Because the Products and Services included in the customer’s contract are integrated and highly interdependent, and because they must work together to deliver the Solution, the Company has concluded that Products installed on customer’s premise and Services contracted for by the customer are generally not distinct within the context of the contract and, therefore, constitute a single, combined performance obligation.

 

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

 

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The consideration promised in a contract with a customer includes pre-determined fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. The Company’s contracts do not include any rights of returns or refunds.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

  j. Revenue recognition (cont.):

 

The Company collects each year’s service fees in advance and should therefore consider the existence of a significant financing component. However, due to the fact that the payments are provided for the service of a one-year term, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient under ASC 606 which exempts the adjustment of the consideration for the existence of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of the services and the payment for such services is one year or less.

 

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on each performance obligation’s relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). The Company has identified a single performance obligation in the contract, and therefore, the allocation provisions under ASC 606 do not apply to the Company’s contracts.

 

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation

 

Revenues for the Company’s single, combined performance obligation are recognized on a straight-line basis over the customer’s contract term, which is the period in which the parties to the contract have enforceable rights and obligations (Typically 3-4 years).

 

  k. Deferred Revenue:

 

Deferred revenues include unearned amounts received from customer but not recognized as revenues.

 

  l. Finished products used in operations, net:

 

The Company evaluates whether or not it should capitalize the costs of fulfilling a contract. Such costs would be capitalized when they are not within the scope of other standards and: (1) are directly related to a contract; (2) generate or enhance resources that will be used to satisfy performance obligations; and (3) are expected to be recovered. As of December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, there was approximately $4,657 and $5,109, respectively, of finished products used in operations, which are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets within non-current assets. These costs primarily relate to the satisfaction of performance obligations related to providing the Solution to customers and are comprised of the cost of the finished products and installation costs, where applicable. These costs are amortized to cost of goods on a straight-line basis over the contract period which is generally over a period of 4 years.

 

Additional capitalized cost of finished products used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $2,281 and $1,949, respectively. Amortization expenses of finished products used in operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $2,733 and $2,010, respectively.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

  m. Deferred contract acquisition cost:

 

The Company’s incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which consist primarily of sales commissions, are generally deferred and amortized to sales and marketing expense over the estimated life of the relevant customer relationship of approximately 4 years and are subject to being monitored every period to reflect any significant change in assumptions. In addition, the deferred contract cost asset is assessed for impairment on a periodic basis.

 

   Year Ended 
   December 31, 
   2021   2020 
         
Beginning balance  $697   $941 
Additions to deferred acquisition costs   229    152 
Amortization of deferred contract acquisition costs   (420)   (396)
           
Ending balance  $506   $697 
           
Deferred contract acquisition costs included in other current assets  $277   $384 
Deferred contract acquisition costs, noncurrent   229    313 
           
Total deferred contract acquisition costs  $506   $697 

 

  n. Concentration of credit risks:

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, restricted cash and accounts receivable.

 

Cash and restricted cash are primarily invested in major banks in Israel and the USA. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s investments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these investments.

 

Credit risk with respect to the Company’s account receivables is limited due to the number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base. The Company considers its account receivables to be of good credit quality as a large portion of its customers are long- standing reputable sports and education facilities and the Company has not experienced any significant write-offs of accounts receivable in the past. The Company does not require collateral or other securities to support its accounts receivable.

 

The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

PLAYSIGHT INTERACTIVE LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARY

 

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

  o. Income taxes:

 

The Company and its subsidiary account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). This codification prescribes the use of the “asset and liability” method, whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to their estimated realizable value.

 

ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as a result of the implementation of ASC 740.

 

  p. Research and development expenses, net:

 

Research and development expenses are charged to the statement of operations as incurred. Grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority for funding research and development activities are recognized at the time the Company is entitled to such grants on the basis of the related cost incurred. Research and development expenses are included in the financial statements net of related grants.

PLAYSIGHT INTERACTIVE LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARY

 

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

  q. Share-based compensation:

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, which requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. Share-based compensation expense related to share awards is recognized based on the fair value of the awards granted. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying ordinary shares, the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the price of the Company’s ordinary shares, risk-free interest rates, and the expected dividend yield of ordinary shares. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the option awards represent management’s best estimates. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. The related share-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards, including awards with graded vesting and no additional conditions for vesting other than service conditions. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

 

  r. Fair value of financial instruments:

 

The Company applies ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell as asset or paid liability (i.e. the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent from the Company. Unobservable inputs are in puts that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

F-58
 

 

PLAYSIGHT INTERACTIVE LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARY

 

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

  s. Fair value of financial instruments (cont.):

 

The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

 

  Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
       
  Level 2 Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
       
  Level 3 - Valuations based on the inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of investment, the liquidity of markets and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment, and the investments are categorized as Level 3.

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, account receivables, net, other accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, account payables, other accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Some of the inputs in these models are unobservable in the market and are significant. The Company measured its Convertible loans using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs (see Note 6).

 

  t. Severance pay:

 

The Company’s employees have been signed on Section 14 of Israel’s Severance Compensation Law, 1963 (“Section 14”). Pursuant to Section 14, the Company’s employees, covered by this section, are entitled only to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, made on their behalf by the Company. Payments in accordance with Section 14 release the Company from any future severance liabilities in respect of those employees. Neither severance pay liability nor severance pay fund under Section 14 are recorded in the Company’s balance sheets.

PLAYSIGHT INTERACTIVE LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARY

 

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

 

  u. Legal and other contingencies:

 

The Company accounts for its contingent liabilities in accordance with ASC 450 “Contingencies”. A provision is recorded when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. With respect to legal matters, provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company is not a party to any litigation that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

 

  v. Leases:

 

Lessee accounting:

 

On January1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASC 842”). The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease and the classification of that lease at inception based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether the Company has a right to direct the use of the asset. The Company elected to not recognize a lease liability or right-of-use (“ROU”) asset for leases with a term of twelve months or less. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leases.

 

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make minimum lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets are initially measured at amounts, which represents the discounted present value of the lease payments over the lease, plus any initial direct costs incurred. The ROU assets are reviewed for impairment. The lease liability is initially measured at lease commencement date based on the discounted present value of minimum lease payments over the lease term. The implicit rate within the operating leases is generally not determinable; therefore, the Company uses the Incremental Borrowing Rate(“IBR”) based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s IBR is estimated to approximate the interest rate on similar terms and payments and in economic environments where the leased asset is located.

 

The lease includes options to extend or terminate the lease. An option to extend the lease is considered in connection with determining the ROU asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. An option to terminate is considered unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will not exercise the option.

  w. Recently accounting pronouncements not yet adopted by the Company:

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to improve consistent application among reporting entities. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, though early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in Entity s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models results in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and(2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.

 

Other new pronouncements issued but not effective as of December 31, 2021 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6:- CONVERTIBLE LOANS

 

  a. From February through August 2018, the Company received convertible bridge loans from new and existing investors in the aggregate principal amount of $5,875 (net of issuance cost of $125 and of which $2,000 were converted on April 15, 2018 from bridge loans). The convertible bridge loans bear an annual interest of 8% paid monthly and the principal amount will be repaid at the earliest of 24 months or at the occurrence of certain events as stipulated in the convertible bridge loan agreements. The convertible bridge loans are convertible into shares at a conversion price which reflects up to a 25% discount from the price per share which will be determined in future financing and in accordance with the mechanism determined in the agreement. During July 2019, two investors owning a principal amount of $2,500 approved that their monthly interest will be accrued at the same annual interest rate and not paid in case. During April 2020, two investors owning a principal amount of $3,000 approved that their monthly interest will be accrued at the same annual interest rate and not paid in case.

 

From September through January 2020, the Company received convertible bridge loans from new and existing investors in the aggregate principal amount of $7,889 (net of issuance cost of $11). The convertible bridge loans bear an annual interest of 8% accrued monthly which together with the principal amount will be repaid at the earliest of 24 months or at the occurrence of certain events as stipulated in the convertible bridge loan agreements. The convertible bridge loans are convertible into shares at a conversion price which is the lower of (i) a 25% discount from the price per share which will be determined in future financing and (ii) the price per share on a fully-dilutive basis representing a Company valuation of $60,210.

 

On March 3, 2021, the Company received a convertible loan from an existing investor in the principal amount of $2,000. The convertible loan bears an annual interest of 6% accrued monthly which together with the principal amount may be repaid at the earliest of 36 months or at the occurrence of certain events as stipulated in the convertible loan agreement. The convertible loan is convertible into shares at a conversion price which reflects up to a 25% discount from the price per share which will be determined in future financing or other liquidation events in accordance with the mechanism determined in the agreement. In connection with this loan the Company converted 89,340 Preferred A shares par value of NIS 0.01 each, 234,848 Preferred B-1 shares par value of NIS 0.01 each and 30,798 Preferred B-2 shares par value of NIS 0.01 each held by the investor into 354,986 Preferred C-1 shares par value of NIS 0.01 each. As a result of the conversion, the Company recorded additional $1,994 of interest expenses against shareholders equity, representing the net increase in the total liquidation preference resulted from the exchange.

 

On July 21, 2021 the Purchaser provided a convertible loan in the amount of $2,000 to be drawn down at agreed upon schedule until November 2021. The convertible loan agreement was amended on October 6, 2021 such that the Purchaser increased the loan amount to $3,500 to be drawn by the Company at set dates until February 2022. The convertible loan bears an annual interest of 15% accrued monthly which together with the principal amount will be repaid at the closing of the merger transaction. The convertible loan is convertible into shares at a conversion price which reflects up to a 25% discount off the price per share to be paid by the Purchaser to the shareholders of the Company. As of December 31, 2021, the Company withdrew $2,000 from the convertible loan provided by the Purchaser.

NOTE 6:- CONVERTIBLE LOANS (Cont.):

 

The conversion features in the convertible loans are considered embedded derivatives which needs to be bifurcated from the host instrument in accordance with ASC 815 Derivative and Hedging: Embedded Derivatives (“ASC 815-15”), the Company has elected to account for the convertible bridge loans at fair value. ASC 815-15-25 provides that if an entity has a hybrid financial instrument that would require bifurcation of embedded derivatives under ASC 815, the entity may irrevocably elect to initially and subsequently measure a hybrid financial instrument in its entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company elected to measure each bridge loan in its entirety at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as non-operating income or loss at each balance sheet date in accordance with ASC 815-15-25. As of December 31, 2020, the Company determined the fair value of the bridge loans using an Option Pricing Model (“OPM”), therefore they are categorized as Level 3 in accordance with ASC 820. As of December 31, 2021, due to the high probability of the merger of the Company with the Purchaser (see Note 1), the Company determined the fair value of the bridge loans based on the number of the Purchaser’s shares each lender will receive as upon closing of the merger multiplied by the quoted share price of the Purchaser as of December 31, 2021. Based on the above as of December 31, 2021, the Convertible Loans they are categorized as Level 3 in accordance with ASC 820.

 

The fair value of each loan was estimated at each balance sheet date using the following assumptions:

 

   Year ended 
   December 31, 
   2020 
     
Volatility (%)   47.77%
Risk-free interest rate (%)   0.10%
Dividend yield (%)   0%
Expected term (years)   1.16 

 

The following is a roll forward of the fair values:

 

   Year ended 
   December 31, 
   2021   2020 
         
Fair value at the beginning of the year  $18,431   $13,811 
Fair value balance on issue date   4,000    150 
Change in fair value reported in statement of operations   (10,024)   4,470 
           
Fair value at the end of the year  $12,407   $18,431

NOTE 8:- SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT (Cont.)

 

  c. Share based payment:

 

  1. Under the Company’s Employees Stock Ownership (the “Plan”), options may be granted to directors, employees and consultants of the Company. Each option granted under the Plan is exercisable until the earlier of 10 years from the date of the grant of the option or the expiration date of the Plan. The options vest primarily over a period of four years. Any options, which are forfeited or not exercised before expiration, become available for future grants. Pursuant to the Plan, as of December 31, 2021 the Company reserved 209,875 Ordinary shares for issuance of which an aggregate of 99,429 Ordinary shares of the Company were still available for future grant, respectively.
     
  2. A summary of the Company’s options granted to employees and service providers activity and related information is as follows:

 

   Number of   Weighted average exercise price   Weighted average remaining contractual life   Aggregate Intrinsic value 
   options   $   Years   $ 
Outstanding at beginning of year   111,523    5.77    4.64    513 
Granted   -    -    -    - 
Forfeited/expired   10,077    11.28         - 
Exercised   10,419    1.45         47 
                     
Outstanding at end of year   91,027    5.66    3.93    213 
                     
Exercisable options   48,347    0.75    3.23    212 

 

The aggregate intrinsic value in the above table represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last day of the fiscal 2021 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holder had all the option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2021. This amount is impacted by the changes in the fair value of the Ordinary share.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the total unrecognized estimated compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted prior to the date was $3, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 0.7 years.

NOTE 9:- TAXES ON INCOME

 

  a. The Company and its Subsidiary are separately taxed under the domestic tax laws of the respective state of incorporation of each entity.
     
  b. Tax laws applicable to the Company in Israel:

 

In February 2008, the Knesset (Israel’s parliament) passed an amendment to the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985, which limits the scope of the law starting 2008 and thereafter. Since 2008, the results for tax purposes are measured in nominal values, excluding certain adjustments for changes in the Israeli CPI carried out in the period up to December 31, 2007. Adjustments relating to capital gains such as for sale of property (betterment) and securities continue to apply until disposal. Since 2008, the amendment to the law includes, among others, the cancellation of the inflationary additions and deductions and the additional deduction for depreciation (in respect of depreciable assets purchased after the 2007 tax year).

 

  c. Tax rates applicable to the income of the Company in Israel:

 

A company is taxable on its real capital gains at the corporate income tax rate in the year of sale.

 

The Israeli corporate tax rate was 23% in 2021 and 2020.

NOTE 9:- TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)

 

  d. Tax rates applicable to the subsidiary:

 

The American entity is incorporated in the U.S. and subject to weighted tax rate of about 27% (Federal tax, State tax and City tax of the city where the Company operates).

 

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government signed into law a tax reform that introduces significant and extensive changes in the U.S. tax system (“the reform”). The reform includes several provisions that will affect the Company’s tax liability in the United States. Following is a provision of the reform that is relevant to the Company:

 

Reduction of the U.S. federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.

 

  e. Tax assessments:

 

The Company’s tax assessments are deemed final through 2014 tax year.

 

The US subsidiary have not been assessed for tax purposes since its incorporation.

 

  f. Deferred income taxes:

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

 

   Year ended 
   December 31, 
   2021   2020 
Deferred tax assets          
Net operating loss carryforwards  $10,374   $9,230 
Research and development expenses   590    573 
Leasing liabilities   73    137 
Accruals, deferred revenues and reserves   517    573 
Gross deferred tax assets   11,554    10,513 
Valuation allowance   (11,354)   (10,202)
Total deferred tax assets, net   200    311 
           
Deferred tax liability          
Deferred contract acquisition cost   130    180 
Operating lease right-of-use assets   70    131 
Gross tax liabilities   200    311 
           
Net deferred taxes  $-   $- 

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has provided valuation allowances of $11,354 in respect of deferred tax assets resulting from tax loss carryforward and other temporary differences. Management currently believes that since the Company has a history of losses it is more likely than not that the deferred tax regarding the loss carryforward and other temporary differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

NOTE 9:- TAXES ON INCOME (Cont.)

 

  g. Net operating losses carryforward:

 

The Company have accumulated losses and deductions for tax purposes as of December 31, 2021, in the amount of approximately $44,467 which may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the future for an indefinite period. As of December 31, 2021, the subsidiary’s carryforward tax losses amounted to approximately $543. Tax losses can be carried forward for a period of up to 20 years and may be subject to restrictions due to ownership changes. Utilization of U.S. net operating losses may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses before utilization.

 

  h. No liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as a result of implementation of ASC 740.
     
  i. The main reconciling item between the statutory tax rate of the Company and the effective tax rate is the recognition of valuation allowance in respect of deferred taxes relating to accumulated net operating losses carried forward due to the uncertainty of the realization of such deferred taxes.

NOTE 11:- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

 

  a. As part of the share purchase agreement signed between the Company and certain investors in May 2017 it was agreed that in the event of “Qualified Event” as described in the Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), the Company shall grant a one-time cash bonus of up to $5,000 to certain employees based on the recommendation of the CEO to the board of directors. The one-time cash bonus is subject to vesting period as stipulated in the agreement. The cash bonus amount will be determined based on Company’s value. Furthermore, in the event of an IPO or Deemed liquidation event, as defined in the Company’s Article of Association (“Qualified event”) and the SPA, the Company shall grant to the founders up to 55,852 warrants convertible into Preferred C-1 shares. The amount of warrants will be determined based on the Company’s value upon the Qualified event. The merger of the Company with the Purchaser did not meet the definition of a “Qualified Event” based on the SPA and accordingly the above contingent one-time cash bonus and warrants were forfeited.
     
  b. In April 2020, the U.S. Subsidiary received a loan in the amount of $343 from the U.S. Small and Medium Business Agency (the “SBA”) under the paycheck protection program (“PPP”) which is a part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES act”). The loan is forgivable, subject to meeting the conditions set out in the program. At December 31, 2020 the loan was included within accrued expenses and other liabilities. The loan was forgiven by the SBA in 2021 and the balance of $343 was expensed to the Company’s statement of operation as part of finance income.
     
  c. During August 2020, the Company was approved for a grant in the amount of up to approximately $485 sponsored by the Israeli Government through the Israeli Innovation Authority (“IIA”) for the support of certain of the Company’s research and development projects. The Company accepted such grant according to which it will be obligated to pay royalties to the Government of Israel, at the rates of 3% on sales proceeds from products developed through the grants received from the IIA. The maximum amount of royalties payable to the Government is limited to 100% of the grants received, including interest at the Libor rate. The obligation to pay these royalties is contingent on actual sales of the products and in the absence of such sales, no payment is required. As of December 31, 2020, the Company received grants totaling to $246 which were recorded as a reduction of the Company’s research and development expenses. The Company did not receive any additional grants during the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Company accrued $5 for royalties due to the IIA.
