CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “plan,” “future,” “continue,” and other expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and trends and that do not relate to historical matters identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our expectations or forecasts of future events, can be affected by inaccurate assumptions, and are subject to various business risks and known and unknown uncertainties, a number of which are beyond our control. Therefore, actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this document, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. A wide variety of factors could cause or contribute to such differences and could adversely impact revenues, profitability, cash flows and capital needs. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this document will, in fact, transpire or prove to be accurate. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, filed on September 14, 2023, that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.
Important factors that may cause the actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements, projections or other expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:
| ● | risk that we will not be able to remediate identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; | |
| ● | risk that we fail to meet the requirements of the agreements under which we acquired our business interests, including any cash payments to the business operations, which could result in the loss of our right to continue to operate or develop the specific businesses described in the agreements; | |
| ● | risk that we will be unable to secure additional financing in the near future in order to commence and sustain our planned development and growth plans; | |
| ● | risk that we cannot attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, particularly employees, consultants and contractors for our operations; | |
| ● | risks and uncertainties relating to the various industries and operations we are currently engaged in; | |
| ● | results of initial feasibility, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, and the possibility that future growth, development or expansion will not be consistent with our expectations; | |
| ● | risks related to the inherent uncertainty of business operations including profit, cost of goods, production costs and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses; | |
| ● | risks related to commodity price fluctuations; | |
| ● | the uncertainty of profitability based upon our history of losses; | |
| ● | risks related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms for our planned development projects; | |
| ● | risks related to environmental regulation and liability; | |
| ● | risks related to tax assessments; and | |
| ● | other risks and uncertainties related to our prospects, properties and business strategy. |
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. 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.

For further details on PlaySight and Foundation Sports we refer you to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 14, 2023. This Form 10-K and the consolidated financial statements will concentrate on our existing business as reflected in the following paragraph.
The Company operates in the sport equipment and technology business. The Company is the owner of the Slinger Launcher, which is a portable tennis ball launcher as well as other associated tennis accessories and Gameface AI an Australian artificial intelligence sports software company.
The operations of Slinger Bag Inc., Slinger Bag Americas, Slinger Bag Canada, Slinger Bag UK, SBL, and Gameface are collectively referred to as the “Company.”
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying 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 Gameface for the periods ended July 31, 2023 and 2022. The operations of Foundation Sports and PlaySight are included as discontinued operations in our statements of operations as these entities were sold in November 2022 and December 2022 for the period ended July 31, 2022.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
The Company continues to carefully monitor the global COVID-19 pandemic status and its impact on its business. In that regard, while the Company has continued to sell its products it has previously experienced certain minor 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, the on-going global efforts to contain it. 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.
| F-6 |
Impact of Russian and Ukrainian Conflict
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 currently 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.
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 $
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 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. The Company has begun reducing operating expenses and cash outflows by selling PlaySight,
as well as selling
Note 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed financial statements of the Company have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the results of operations of the Company for the period presented. The results of operations for the three months ended July 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period or the fiscal year ending April 30, 2024 and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 14, 2023.
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 within accounts payable, accrued expenses, and certain operating expenses have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation and had no effect on the Company’s balance sheet, net loss, shareholders’ deficit or cash flows.
| F-7 |
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 recorded $
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 July 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023 consisted of the following:
| July 31, 2023 | April 30, 2023 | |||||||
| Finished Goods | $ | $ | ||||||
| Component/Replacement Parts | ||||||||
| Capitalized Duty/Freight | ||||||||
| Inventory Reserve | ( | ) | ( | ) | ||||
| Total | $ | $ | ||||||
Prepaid Inventory
Prepaid inventory represents inventory that is in-transit that has been paid for but not received from the Company’s third-party vendors. The Company typically prepays for the purchase of materials and receives the products within three months after making payments. The Company continuously monitors delivery from, and payments to, the vendors. If the Company has difficulty receiving products from a vendor, the Company would cease purchasing products from such vendors in future periods. The Company has not had difficulty receiving products during the reporting periods.
Property and equipment
Property
and equipment acquired through business combinations are stated at the estimated fair value at the date of the acquisition. Purchases
of property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Expenditures that materially increase
the useful life of the assets are capitalized. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization
are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which is an average of
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. See Note 4 for further details on the Company’s concentration of credit risk as well as other risks and uncertainties.
| F-8 |
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue for their continuing operations 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 contract liabilities 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.
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. 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 predetermined fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. The Company’s contracts do not include any rights of returns or refunds.
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.
| F-9 |
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).
Business Combinations
Upon acquisition of a company, we determine if the transaction is a business combination, which is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method, once control is obtained of a business, the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, are recorded at fair value. We use our best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. One of the most significant estimates relates to the determination of the fair value of these assets and liabilities. The determination of the fair values is based on estimates and judgments made by management. Our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Measurement period adjustments are reflected at the time identified, up through the conclusion of the measurement period, which is the time at which all information for determination of the values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is received and is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. We may record adjustments to the fair value of these tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. The Company elected to apply pushdown accounting to all entities acquired.
Additionally, uncertain tax positions and tax-related valuation allowances are initially recorded in connection with a business combination as of the acquisition date. We continue to collect information and reevaluate these estimates and assumptions periodically and record any adjustments to preliminary estimates to goodwill, provided we are within the measurement period. If outside of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statement of operations.
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 contingent consideration in connection with the acquisition of Gameface was calculated using Level 3 inputs. The fair
value of contingent consideration as of July 31, 2023 and April 30, 2023 was $
The Company estimates the fair value of its intangible assets using Level 3 assumptions, primarily based on the income approach utilizing the discounted cash flow method.

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 months ended July 31, 2023:
| Note derivative is related to | July 31, 2023 ending balance | (Gain) loss for the three months ended July 31, 2023 | ||||||

| 1/6/2023 warrants issued with note payable | ( | ) | ||||||
| Total | $ | $ | ( | ) | ||||
The Black-Scholes option pricing model assumptions for the derivative liabilities during the periods ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following:
Period Ended July 31, 2023 | Period Ended July 31, 2022 | |||||||
| Expected life in years | ||||||||
| Stock price volatility | % | % | ||||||
| Risk free interest rate | % | % | ||||||
| Expected dividends | % | % | ||||||
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 Assets
Intangible
assets relate to the “Slinger” technology trademark, which the Company purchased on November 10, 2020. The Company also acquired
intangible assets as a part of the Gameface acquisition. These intangible assets include tradenames, internally developed software, and
customer relationships. The acquired intangible assets are amortized based on the estimated present value of cash flows of each class
of intangible assets in order to determine their economic useful life. During the three months ended July 31, 2023, the Company impaired
their intangible assets down to a nominal value of $
Impairment of 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. Factors which could trigger impairment review include significant underperformance
relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy
for the overall business, a significant decrease in the market value of the assets or significant negative industry or economic trends.
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. The
Company impaired $
| F-11 |
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 Company records goodwill as the excess purchase price over assets acquired and includes any work force acquired as goodwill. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis.
With the adoption of the ASU 2017-04, which eliminates the second step of the goodwill impairment test, the Company tests impairment of goodwill in one step. In this 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 carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. 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 will not record an impairment charge.
The Company impaired all goodwill as of April 30, 2023.
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 11.
The warrants granted during the periods ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 were valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant using the following assumptions:
Period Ended July 31, 2023 | Period Ended July 31, 2022 | |||||||
| Expected life in years | ||||||||
| Stock price volatility | % | % | ||||||
| Risk free interest rate | % | % | ||||||
| Expected dividends | % | % | ||||||
Foreign Currency Translation
Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our foreign operations, generally, is the respective local currency for each foreign subsidiary. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations denominated in local currencies are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date. Our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss are translated at the weighted average rate of exchange during the applicable period. The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity. Realized and unrealized transaction gains and losses generated by transactions denominated in a currency different from the functional currency of the applicable entity are recorded in other income (loss) in the period in which they occur.
| F-12 |
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.
All common stock equivalents such as shares to be issued for the conversion of notes payable and warrants 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
Recently Adopted
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, goodwill impairment will be tested by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The new guidance must be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 effective May 1, 2021. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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 adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s 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.
| F-13 |
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The guidance replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credits, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. ASC 326 requires enhanced disclosures related to the significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of a company’s portfolio. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities the Company does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell. The ASU can be adopted no later than January 1, 2020 for SEC filers and January 1, 2023 for private companies and smaller reporting companies. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities (Topic 805)”. The amendments in this Update address diversity and inconsistency related to the recognition and measurement of contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination. The amendments in this Update require that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The FASB has issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). ASU 2021-04 provides guidance that an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. The standard also provides guidance on how an entity should measure and recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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.

Nasdaq Compliance
On
March 21, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)
indicating that the Company’s failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended January 31, 2023 (“Additional
Delinquency”) serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq. The Company received a letter
from the Nasdaq on February 14, 2023, indicating that, due to the Company’s failure, in violation of Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), to
file its (i) Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022; and (ii) Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q
for the periods ended July 31, 2022 and October 31, 2022 (collectively, the “Delinquent Filings”), by February 13, 2023 (the
due date for filing the Delinquent Filings pursuant to an exception to Nasdaq’s Listing Rule previously granted by Nasdaq), absent
the submission of a timely appeal by February 21, 2023, trading of the Company’s common stock would have been suspended from the
Nasdaq at the opening of business on February 23, 2023. Nasdaq would also have filed a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”), which would have resulted in the removal of the Company’s securities from listing and registration on
the Nasdaq (the “Staff Determination”). Additionally, on October 10, 2022, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq indicating
that the Company’s common stock is subject to potential delisting from Nasdaq because, for a period of 30 consecutive business
days, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $
On January 12, 2023, Nasdaq notified the Company that due to the resignations from the Company’s board, audit committee and compensation committee on November 17, 2022 (“Corporate Governance Deficiencies”), the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s independent director, audit committee and compensation committee requirements as set forth in Listing Rule 5605. The Company timely submitted its plan of compliance with respect to the Corporate Governance Deficiencies by February 27, 2023 as required by the Nasdaq. However, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(A), the Corporate Governance Deficiencies serve as an additional and separate basis for delisting and the Company.

On February 21, 2023, consistent with the Company’s previously announced intention to request an appeal of the Staff Determination by requesting a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE with the SEC (the “Hearing”), the Company appealed the Staff Determination to the Panel, and requested that the stay of delisting, which otherwise would expire on March 8, 2023, pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(a)(1)(B), be extended until the Panel issued a final decision on the matter. The Nasdaq granted the Company’s request to extend the stay, pending the Hearing scheduled for March 30, 2023, and a final determination regarding the Company’s listing status. The Company is required to address the Additional Delinquency, the Delinquent Filings, and the Corporate Governance Deficiencies before the Panel. Although the Company is working diligently to file the Delinquent Filings and Additional Delinquency, there can be no assurance that they will be filed prior to the Hearing. If the Company’s appeal is denied or the Company fails to timely regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting on the Nasdaq.

Net sales
Net sales decreased $463,105, or 13%, during the three months ended July 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended July 31, 2022. The decrease in our online consumer marketing of Slinger Bag, coupled with the general marketplace impact resulting from the increased consumer social mobility following the lifting of all covid -related restrictions contributed to the decrease in sales. The reduction in disposable income resulting from global economic inflationary pressures also impacted on the sales of a product like Slinger Bag, priced to consumers at a minimum of $500.
Cost of sales and Gross income
Cost of sales decreased $334,562 during the three months ended July 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended July 31, 2022, which is primarily due to the reduction in net sales. Gross income decreased $128,543, or13%, during the three months ended July 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended July 31, 2022 due to the decrease in sales resulting from reduced on-line marketing activity and the general global recessionary economic environment.
| 4 |
Selling and marketing expenses
Selling and marketing expenses decreased $514,470, or 68%, during the three months ended July 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended July 31, 2022. This decrease is largely driven by a decrease in social media advertising, sponsorships, and other investments in our public relations presence based on lower cash flows being generated by lower net sales. In addition, all Slinger Bag ambassador agreements came to an end contributing to a reduction in marketing expense.
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, decreased $809,550 during the three months ended July 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended July 31, 2022. This decrease is primarily driven by a decrease in share-based compensation as well as in both headcount and legal costs related to the prior year acquisition of Playsight and Foundation into the Connexa group.
Research and development costs
Research and development costs decreased $19,425 during the three months ended July 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended July 31, 2022. This decrease is primarily driven by our need to pause all development activity in the period due to limited cash flow being available for investment.
Other expense
Total other expense increased $445,050 during the three months ended July 31, 2023 as compared to the three months ended July 31, 2022. We recorded a gain in fair value of derivatives of $2,144,554 compared to $3,687,495 in the same period in 2022. Excluding these gains during the periods to July 31,2023 and 2022, we had other expenses totaling $1,136,655 and $3,124,646 respectively. The increases in other expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2023 as compared to July 31, 2022 was a reduction in amortization of debt discounts and interest paid to related parties as well as an expense related to loss on conversion of account payable to common stock.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations incorporate the impact of the divestments of both PlaySight and Gameface during the period to July 31, 2023. Total loss from discontinued operations was $0 during the three months ended July 31, 2023 as compared to $1,759,714 in the three months ended July 31, 2022. Net cash provided by discontinued operations for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 amount to $0 and $1,053,121 respectively.
The Company previously classified Foundation Sports in continuing operations, until December 5, 2022 when they sold 75% of Foundation Sports back to the original owners at which time it deconsolidated this subsidiary and recorded a loss on the sale. The Company also determined to dispose of the PlaySight entity during the year ended April 30, 2023. The Company completed the sale in November 2022 and recorded a loss on the sale at that time. The total loss on disposal of Foundation Sports and PlaySight amounted to $41,413,892 was fully recognized in the year ended April 30, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
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 $152,597,375 as of July 31, 2023, 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.
| 5 |
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 of debt and/or common stock. In respect to additional financing, refer to the consolidated financial statements herein. 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 three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022:

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 July 31, 2024 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 were $1,655,966 and $1,953,842 in outstanding borrowings from the Company’s related parties for the period ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Accrued interest due to related parties as of July 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $917,957 and $917,957, respectively
On January 6, 2023, we sold certain of our inventory including all components, parts, additions and accessions thereto to Yonah Kalfa and Naftali Kalfa who immediately consigned it back to us in exchange for a payment of $103 per ball launcher we sell until we have paid them an aggregate total of $2,092,700, which represents payment in full of the principal amounts of the Loan Agreements (as defined below) and certain other expenses they incurred in connection with the Company.
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.
Going Concern
Our independent registered public accounting firm auditors’ report accompanying our April 30, 2023 financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as the Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required under Exchange Act 13a-15, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of July 31, 2023 due to the material weaknesses that were identified and listed below.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In connection with our management’s assessment of controls over financial reporting during the year ended April 30, 2023, we identified the following material weaknesses:
| ● | The Company lacks adequate segregation of duties due to the small size of the organization. Further, the Company lacks an independent Board of Directors or Audit Committee to ensure adequate monitoring or oversight. | |
| ● | The Company lacks accounting resources and controls to prevent or detect material misstatements. Specifically, the Company continues to have a material weakness in our controls over accounting for inventory due to a lack of controls over ensuring inventory movement was being processed accurately and in a timely manner, which resulted in significant audit adjustments relating to the value of our inventory and cost of sales. Further, while the Company engages service providers to assist with U.S. GAAP compliance the Company lacks resources with adequate knowledge to oversee those services. Lastly, the Company does not have sufficient resources to complete timely reconciliations and transactional reviews, which resulted in delays in the financial reporting process in the prior year. |
To remediate the material weaknesses, we have initiated compensating controls in the near term and are enhancing and revising our existing controls, including ensuring we have sufficient management review procedures and adequate segregation of duties. These controls are still in the process of being implemented. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded they are operating effectively. As a result, the material weaknesses continue to be listed as of July 31, 2023.
