| | |
| ● | SharpLink assumed $5,387,850 of SportsHub’s debt as purchase consideration. |

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act, as amended, and is presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the Company upon consummation of the Transactions.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information and related notes are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and year ended December 31, 2021; SportsHub’s financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and year ended December 31, 2021; and FourCubed’s financial statements for year ended December 31, 2021, adjusted to give effect to the Transactions.
The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the SportsHub Acquisition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2022. No adjustments related to the FourCubed Acquisition have been applied to the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and unaudited pro forma combined statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as FourCubed Acquisition is already reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The assets and liabilities of the MTS business are separately reported as assets and liabilities held for disposal for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (unaudited). MTS operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 were previously reported as continuing operations, but have been adjusted to reflect the current treatment as discontinued operations. Thus, the results of operations of MTS for all periods are separately reported as discontinued operations.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information related to the Transactions have been prepared by the Company using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP. The Company has been treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and thus accounts for the Transactions as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. The valuations of the assets and liabilities of FourCubed have been measured at estimated fair value as of the date of the business combination and purchase price adjustments have been applied. The valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for SportsHub Acquisition, and therefore the purchase price allocations, are considered preliminary and have not yet been finalized as of the date of this filing. As a result of the foregoing, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma combined financial information.
SharpLink and SportsHub are related parties, and an adjustment was applied to the balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 to remove activity that would be considered intercompany activity and eliminated upon consolidation. This activity represented accounts receivable for SportsHub and accounts payable for SharpLink in the amount of $33,000 as of September 30, 2022.
SharpLink was a majority-owned subsidiary of SportsHub from January 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021. During this period SharpLink’s results from operations were included in SportsHub’s consolidated statement of operations. On August 31, 2021, SportsHub no longer had a controlling interest in SharpLink and deconsolidated it from SportsHub’s consolidated statement of operations. As of August 31, 2021, SportsHub began accounting for SharpLink as an equity method investment. Pro forma adjustments were recorded to eliminate net loss from and impairment of SportsHub’s equity method investment in SharpLink. Pro forma adjustments were recorded to eliminate SharpLink historical financial information previously consolidated in SportsHub’s financial information for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The accounting policies followed in preparing the unaudited pro forma combined financial information are those used by the Company as set forth in the audited historical financial statements. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information reflects any material adjustments known at this time to conform SportsHub’ historical financial information to the Company’s significant accounting policies based on the Company’s initial review and understanding of SportsHub’ summary of significant accounting policies from the date of the acquisition. The Company has included certain reclassification adjustments for consistency in the financial statement presentation. See Note 3 and 4 for more information.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not give effect to any income tax benefit associated with the pro forma adjustments as such pro forma adjustments result in the generation of additional net operating losses offset by a full valuation allowance recorded on such net operating losses as it is more likely than not that the net operating losses will not be utilized.
The Company’s management believes that the assumptions used provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the Transactions, and that the pro forma adjustments in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information give appropriate effect to the assumptions.
Note 2. Adjustments and Assumptions to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2022
The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet:
| A. | Reflects the following adjustments to conform SportsHub’s presentation to the Company’s presentation, including: |
| a. | Reclassifying Accounts payable to be included within Accrued expenses. |
| B. | SharpLink acquired 100% of SportsHub. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 reflects the purchase price allocation adjustments to record SportsHub’s assets and liabilities at estimated fair value based on the consideration conveyed of $6.7 million, as detailed below. The purchase price was allocated among the identified assets to be acquired, based on an independent valuation analysis, which were income-based method and relief from royalty method. All valuation procedures related to existing assets as no new assets were identified as a result of procedures performed. Goodwill was recognized as a result of the acquisition, which represents the excess fair value of consideration over the fair value of the underlying net assets, largely arising from the extensive industry expertise that has been established by SportsHub. This was considered appropriate based on the determination that the SportsHub Acquisition would be accounted for as a business acquisition under ASC 805. Estimates of fair value represent management’s best estimate of assumptions about future events and uncertainties, including significant judgments related to future cash flows, discount rates, competitive trends, margin and revenue growth assumptions, including royalty rates and customer attrition rates and others. Inputs used were generally obtained from historical data supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions and growth rates expected as of the acquisition date.. The following table sets forth the components of identifiable intangible assets acquired and the methodologies used in the valuation as of the date of acquisition. |
Schedule of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of December 22, 2022:
Assets: | | | |
Cash | | $ | 38,255,266 | |
Restricted cash | | | 10,604,004 | |
Accounts receivable | | | 186,712 | |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | | | 1,916,932 | |
Equipment | | | 11,953 | |
Other long-term assets | | | 95,793 | |
Intangible assets | | | 2,390,000 | |
Total Assets | | $ | 53,460,660 | |
| | | | |
Liabilities: | | | | |
Accrued expenses | | $ | 284,345 | |
Deferred tax liabilities | | | 48,775 | |
Deferred revenue | | | 3,574,285 | |
Other current liabilities | | | 47,657,117 | |
Other long-term liabilities | | | 106,705 | |
Total liabilities | | $ | 51,671,227 | |
| | | | |
Net assets acquired, excluding goodwill | | $ | 1,789,433 | |
| | | | |
Goodwill | | | 4,968,703 | |
| | | | |
Purchase consideration for accounting acquiree | | $ | 6,758,137 | |
The excess of consideration for the acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and derived from the market price of the shares at the time of the SportsHub Acquisition. The goodwill created in the acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The fair value, as determined by assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets, and weighted average useful life of the identifiable intangible assets are as follows:
| | | | | Weighted Average | |
| | Fair Value | | | Useful Life (Years) | |
Customer relationships | | $ | 1,550,000 | | | | 5 | |
Trade names | | | 640,000 | | | | 6 | |
Acquired technology | | | 200,000 | | | | 5 | |
| | $ | 2,390,000 | | | | | |
| C. | Represents the elimination of intercompany activities between SharpLink and SportsHub. |
| | |
| D. | Represents transaction costs of $244,000, which will be fully expensed based on the conclusion that the transaction would be accounted for as an acquisition under ASC 805. One-time direct and incremental transaction costs anticipated to be incurred prior to, or concurrent with, the closing of the SportsHub Acquisition are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as a direct impact to accumulated deficit. |
Note 3. Adjustments and Assumptions to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2022
The following adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined statements of income:
| AA. | Reflects the following adjustments to conform SportsHub’s presentation to the Company’s presentation, including: |
| a. | Reclassifying amortization and depreciation expense to be included within selling, general, and administrative expenses. |
| BB. | Reflects the pro forma adjustment to record the amortization expense associated with intangibles recorded via adjustment (B), less previously recorded amortization expense. Amortization expense previously recorded in the historical SportsHub’s consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $806,000 in Cost of Revenues and $107,000 in Depreciation and Amortization Expense (reclassified to Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in adjustment (AA)). Amortization expense as if the SportsHub Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021 in the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is $30,000 in Cost of Revenues and $313,000 in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The pro forma adjustment to reflect the change in amortization expense is a reduction of $776,000 in Cost of Revenues and an increase of $206,000 in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. |
| CC. | Reflects the elimination of net loss from and impairment of SportsHub’s equity method investment in SharpLink. |
| | |
| DD. | Reflects the elimination of income tax benefits from SportsHub’s investment in SharpLink. Income tax benefits of $3,501,000 were recorded due to the net loss and impairment of SportsHub’s equity method investment in SharpLink, thus were removed as pro forma adjustments. Further, the remaining SportsHub income tax benefit of $314,000 is eliminated as it relates to deferred income taxes, which would have a full valuation allowance when assuming the SportsHub Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021 and SportsHub was under the ownership of SharpLink for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. |
Note 4. Adjustments and Assumptions to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the Year ended December 31, 2021
| EE. | Reflects the pro forma adjustment to record the amortization expense associated with intangibles acquired from the FourCubed transaction on December 31, 2021. No amortization was previously recorded in the FourCubed consolidated statement of operations. Amortization expense as if the FourCubed Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021 in the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 is $806,000 in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. |
| | |
| FF. | Reflects the following adjustments to conform SportsHub’s presentation to the Company’s presentation, including: |
| a. | Reclassifying Amortization and depreciation expense to be included within Selling, general, and administrative expenses. |
| GG. | Reflects the pro forma adjustment to record the amortization expense associated with intangibles recorded via adjustment (B). Amortization expense previously recorded in the historical SportsHub’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $1,133,000 in Cost of Revenues and $142,000 in Depreciation and Amortization Expense (reclassified to Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in adjustment (EE)). Amortization expense as if the SportsHub Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021 in the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 is $40,000 in Cost of Revenues and $417,000 in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The pro forma adjustment to reflect the change in amortization expense is a reduction of $1,093,000 in Cost of Revenues and an increase of $275,000 in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. |
| | |
| HH. | Reflects the elimination of duplicative activity in SportsHub’s statement of operations related to SharpLink’s activity for the year ended December 31, 2021. SharpLink was a majority-owned subsidiary of SportsHub from January 1, 2021 to August 31, 2021. During this period SharpLink’s results from operations were included in SportsHub’s consolidated statement of operations. On August 31, 2021, SportsHub no longer had a controlling interest in SharpLink and deconsolidated it from SportsHub’s consolidated statement of operations. As of August 31, 2021, SportsHub began accounting for SharpLink as an equity method investment. Pro forma adjustments were recorded to eliminate net loss from and impairment of SportsHub’s equity method investment in SharpLink. Pro forma adjustments were recorded to eliminate SharpLink historical financial information previously consolidated in SportsHub’s financial information for the year ended December 31, 2021. |
| | |
| II. | Represents SportsHub’s estimated transaction costs expected to be expensed as incurred prior to, or concurrent with, the closing of the SportsHub Acquisition, as noted at adjustment (D) see Note 2. |
| | |
| JJ. | The Commitment Fee Expense was removed as a pro forma adjustment from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 to reflect as if the MTS Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021. The Commitment Fee was settled upon the Company becoming a public entity, which was completed in conjunction with the MTS Acquisition. |
| | |
| KK. | Reflects the elimination of income tax expenses from SportsHub’s investment in SharpLink. Income tax expenses of $3,933,000 were recorded due to the gain on deconsolidation of SharpLink, net of losses and impairment of SportsHub’s equity method investment in SharpLink. The tax effects related to this activity were removed as pro forma adjustments. Further, the remaining SportsHub income tax benefit of $75,000 is eliminated as it relates to deferred income taxes, which would have a full valuation allowance when assuming the SportsHub Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021 and SportsHub was under the ownership of SharpLink for the year ended December 31, 2021. |
Note 5. Pro Forma Loss per Share
Pro forma basic loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 is computed by dividing pro forma net loss attributable to SharpLink by the weighted average number of Class A common stock shares outstanding for the period. Pro forma weighted-average shares outstanding were calculated as if the Transactions occurred on January 1, 2021. Ordinary shares of 4,725,125 and 606,114 were issued as consideration in the SportsHub Acquisition and FourCubed Acquisition, respectively. These ordinary share were assumed to be outstanding as of January 1, 2021 for the computation of pro forma weighted-average shares outstanding. The 606,114 ordinary shares issued in the FourCubed Acquisition were already included in the historical weighted-average shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, thus were not added to compute pro forma weighted-average shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Since the Company had net losses for all the periods, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, and additional potential ordinary shares have been excluded, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth a computation of pro forma loss per share:
