Financial performance and metrics

• For the year ended March 31, 2024: revenue was $97.5M (up 25.9% YoY), gross profit $13.3M, net loss $2.0M (vs. net income $2.1M prior year).

• Gross margin declined to 13.7% in FY24 (from 17.9% in FY23), mainly due to higher costs for console games and increased revenue share to developers.

• Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024: $7.7M; total assets: $62.4M; total liabilities: $46.6M.

• Significant customer concentration: top four customers accounted for 51% of FY24 revenue; two vendors accounted for 55% of cost of goods sold.

Use of proceeds and capital allocation

• Will receive up to $189.75M from warrant exercises if all 16.5M warrants are exercised for cash; proceeds intended for general corporate purposes.

• Does not expect to rely on warrant exercises to fund operations, given current share price is below exercise price ($1.98 vs. $11.50 as of March 28, 2025).

• Recent capital raised via $33M in convertible notes, converted to equity at business combination closing.

• Ongoing investments in game development, acquisitions, and technology platforms to support growth.
