Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business SharpLink Gaming Ltd. (the "Company” or "SharpLink,” formerly Mer Telemanagement Services or "MTS”), is an Israeli-based corporation. SharpLink is a leading online technology company that connects sports fans, leagues and sports websites to relevant and timely sports betting and iGaming content. SharpLink uses proprietary, intelligent, online conversion technology and direct-to-player (“D2P”) performance marketing strategies to convert sports fans into sports bettors and online casino game players for licensed, online sportsbook and casino operators. Further, SharpLink, through its SportsHub Gaming Network (“SportsHub”) reporting unit, owns and operates an online gaming business that primarily facilitates daily and seasonal peer-to-peer fantasy contests for its end users. The Company also operates a website that provides a variety of services to private fantasy league commissioners, including secure online payment options, transparent tracking and reporting of transactions, payment reminders, in-season security of league funds, and facilitation of prize payouts. On July 26, 2021, SharpLink, Inc. completed its merger with Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd. (the "MTS Merger”), which changed its name to SharpLink Gaming Ltd. and commenced trading on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol "SBET.” As a result of the MTS Merger, SharpLink, Inc. shareholders own 86% of the Company, on a fully diluted and as-converted basis, and has majority of the voting shares. Additionally, immediately following the closing of the MTS Merger, legacy MTS directors and officers agreed to resign, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. SharpLink, Inc.’s executives became officers of the Company and new members were appointed to the board of directors. The MTS Merger represents a reverse acquisition in which SharpLink, Inc. is the accounting acquirer and legacy MTS is the accounting acquiree. The Company applied the acquisition method of accounting to the identifiable assets and liabilities of legacy MTS, which were measured at estimated fair value as of the date of the business combination. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SharpLink Gaming Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. We operate in four reportable segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our Chief Executive Officer, allocates resources and assesses performance based upon discrete financial information at the segment level. Reclassifications Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the impact of the discontinued operations treatment in order to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 16. Functional Currency The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. The resulting monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the subsequent balance sheet date. Revenue and expense components are translated to U.S. dollars at weighted-average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from remeasurement are recognized in other income, net within the consolidated statements of operations. Purchase Accounting The purchase price of an acquired business is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Any unallocated purchase price amount is recognized as goodwill on the consolidated balance sheet if it exceeds the estimated fair value and as a bargain purchase gain on the consolidated statement of operations if it is below the estimated fair value. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment, and the utilization of independent valuation experts as well as the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amounts of future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, market prices and asset lives, among other items. The judgments made in the determination of the estimated fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the estimated useful life of each asset and the duration of each liability, can materially impact the financial statements in periods after acquisition, such as through depreciation and amortization expense. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the measurement period are recorded in Provision for Income Taxes. Discontinued Operations In June 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved management to enter into negotiations to sell MTS. The Company completed the sale of MTS on December 31, 2022. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the MTS business are separately reported as assets and liabilities from discontinued operations as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations and cash flows of MTS for all periods are separately reported as discontinued operations. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of funds held for payment of prize liabilities for its various daily and seasonal peer-to-peer fantasy games, as well as private fantasy league dues from customers who utilize the services offered via the Company’s secure online payment and league dues management website. The Company maintains separate accounts to segregate users’ funds from operational funds. Concentrations of Credit Risk Cash and restricted cash are deposited with major banks in the United States, Israel and Hong Kong. Such deposits in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Generally, the FDIC limit per bank is $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds above the FDIC limit could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The following represents the cash and restricted cash on hand at December 31, 2022 by banking institution and does not include any reduction for the FDIC insured limit of $250,000. Bank December 31, 2022 Platinum Bank $ 46,023,871 Bank Vista 2,744,359 Silicon Valley Bank 503,103 Other 1,186,153 $ 50,457,486 The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. In certain circumstances, the Company may require letters of credit, other collateral or additional guarantees. Accounts Receivable The Company’s policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on accounts receivables considers several factors including historical loss experience, the age of delinquent receivable balances due, and economic conditions. Specific customer reserves are made during review of significant outstanding balances due, in which customer creditworthiness and current economic trends may indicate that it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Accounts receivables are written off after collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense. Allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $0 and $0, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, no amount of the allowance for credit losses balance was collected. Investment, cost During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company invested $200,000 in Quintar, Inc. an augmented reality company headquartered in California. This investment provided the Company with 280,903 shares, which equates to an 1.12% ownership interest in Quintar. SharpLink does not exercise significant control over Quintar due to its minority ownership role and the fact that SharpLink does not have a seat on Quintar’s Board of Directors, nor hold any special voting rights. As a result, of the Company’s lack of influence over Quintar and the fact that the valuation of Quintar is not easily determinable (privately held business with few transactions) the Company accounts for the Quintar investment through the cost method of accounting. The Company reviews the investment for impairment at each reporting period based on current conditions. This is informed by Quintar’s operating results and financing activities. No impairment was indicated related to the Quintar investment for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Equipment Equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productivity capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets which ranges from three to seven years. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, was $25,345 and $28,891, respectively. Accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $100,733 and $86,989, respectively. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception or modification of the arrangement. An arrangement is or contains a lease if there are identified assets and the right to control the use of an identified asset is conveyed for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset. For a lease with terms greater than year, a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability is recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The initial measurement of the operating lease ROU asset also includes any prepaid lease payments and are reduced by any previously accrued deferred rent. The Company’s operating lease does not provide a readily determinable implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on the information available at commencement date. The Company’s operating lease does not include a fixed rental escalation clause. Lease terms include optional renewal periods when it is reasonably certain that such option will be exercised. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Intangible and Long-Lived Assets Intangible assets consist of internally developed software, customer relationships, trade names and acquired technology and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes the cost of identifiable intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which ranges from three to ten years. Costs associated with internally developed software are expensed as incurred unless they meet generally accepted accounting criteria for deferral and subsequent amortization. Software development costs incurred prior to the application development stage are expensed as incurred. For costs that are capitalized, the subsequent amortization is the straight-line method over the remaining economic life of the product, which is estimated to be five years. The Company begins amortizing the asset and subsequent enhancements once the software is ready for its intended use. The Company reassesses whether it has met the relevant criteria for deferral and amortization at each reporting date. The Company capitalized $137,565 and $201,436 of costs in the development of its software for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimate future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of an asset group, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the asset group’s carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of customer loss, obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. In accordance with the approval by the Company’s Board of Directors to sell MTS in June 2022, management concluded that the intangible assets of customer relationships and developed technology and its goodwill were impaired and recorded an impairment charge for $1,224,671. The impairment charge was determined based on an assessment of the realization of assets, the ultimate disposition of liabilities and the related carrying value of assets. The impairment charge has been included in the Loss from Discontinued Operations, net of tax line item in the consolidated statement operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. Goodwill and Impairment The Company evaluates the carrying amount of goodwill annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or forecasted operating results, a significant decrease in the market value of an asset or significant negative industry or economic trends. The Company completes impairment reviews for its reporting units using a fair-value method based on management’s judgments and assumptions. When performing its annual impairment assessment, the Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill assigned to each of its reporting units by comparing the estimated fair value of the respective reporting unit to the carrying value, including goodwill. The Company estimates fair value utilizing the income approach and the market approach or a combination of both income and market approaches. The income approach requires management to make assumptions and estimates for each reporting unit, including projected future operating results, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, working capital levels, income tax rates, and a weighted-average cost of capital reflecting the specific risk profile of the respective reporting unit. The key assumptions used in the income approach include revenue growth, operating income margin, discount rate and terminal growth rate. These assumptions are the most sensitive and susceptible to change as they require significant management judgment. Discount rates are determined by using market and industry data as well as Company-specific risk factors for each reporting unit. The discount rate utilized for each reporting unit is indicative of the return an investor would expect to receive for investing in such a business. The market approach estimates fair value using performance multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies. In the event the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value, including goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the implied fair value and the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company recorded goodwill impairment of $1,515,000, which was due to the loss of access to players in the Russian market due to the exit of FourCubed’s largest customer from that market (see Note 3 – Acquisitions – FourCubed – Purchase Price Allocation). The extent of impairment was determined based upon the projected performance of the reporting unit, as determined using an income approach valuation methodology. Key assumptions included in the determination of the reporting unit’s fair value included revenue growth, operating margin, long-term growth rate and discount rate. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded goodwill impairment of $21,722,213 in the Enterprise TEM reporting unit, which is included in the Enterprise TEM operating segment. The Enterprise TEM reporting unit had goodwill of $858,819 and a negative carrying amount of net assets as of December 31, 2021. There is inherent uncertainty included in the assumptions used in goodwill impairment testing. A change to any of the assumptions could lead to a future impairment that could be material. Accounts Payable The composition of accounts payable and accrued expenses are as follows: December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Accounts payable $ 851,031 $ 813,621 Accrued wages and payroll expenses 338,166 181,360 Accrued bonus 358,836 117,370 Accrued interest 32,017 - Other accrued expenses 545,657 291,671 $ 2,125,707 $ 1,404,022 Prize Liability The Company’s prize liability consists of funds to be paid to participants of the various fantasy games hosted by the Company. These prizes are paid to the participants once a fantasy game has concluded and final winners have been determined. Customer Deposits The Company’s liability for customer obligations is in wallet accounts and accounts on the SportsHub platform. Cash related to these accounts may be drawn at the customer’s request. Severance Pay Certain of the Company’s employees in Israel have subscribed to Section 14 of Israel’s Severance Pay Law, 5723-1963 ("Section 14”). Pursuant to Section 14, the Company’s employees, covered by this section, are entitled to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, which are made on their behalf by the Company. Payments in accordance with Section 14 release the Company from any future the severance liabilities in respect of those employees. Neither severance pay liability nor severance pay fund under Section 14 for such employees is recorded on the Company’s balance sheet. With regards to employees in Israel that are not subject to Section 14, the Company’s liability for severance pay is calculated pursuant to the local Severance Pay Law, based on the most recent salary of the relevant employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the balance sheet date. These employees are entitled to one-month salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. The Company’s liability for these employees is fully provided for via monthly deposits with severance pay funds, insurance policies and an accrual. The value of the liability of $342,000 and $366,000 for December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, is recorded in other current liabilities from discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheet. The value of these deposits of $279,000 and $284,000 for December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, is recorded in current assets from discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheet. The deposited funds include profits accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to the Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. Transactions with SportsHub Prior to December 22, 2022 (see Note 3 – Acquisitions – SportsHub Games Network, Inc.), SportsHub owned approximately 40% of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company. SportsHub has historically paid direct expenses incurred by the Company’s Sports Gaming Client Services business unit (“STI”), which includes salaries and related expenses for the employees of STI. SportsHub collects cash on behalf of STI’s revenue generating activities. The Company was allocated cost of revenue and selling, general, and administrative expenses totaling $285,673 from January 1, 2022 through December 22, 2022 and $284,625, for the year ended December 31, 2021, for costs incurred by SportsHub that were clearly applicable to the current and future revenue producing activities of the Company. Management has allocated these expenses using judgement based on the most reasonable method for the type of expense. Allocation methods were based on headcount, budgeting, salaries expense, and revenue depending on the nature of the expense. Redeemable Preferred Stock Issued with a Commitment Fee The Company considers guidance within ASC 470-20, Debt (ASC 470), ASC 480, and ASC 815 when accounting for a redeemable equity instrument issued with a freestanding-instruments (e.g. commitment fee), such as in the issuance upon the date the SharpLink stock is listed or quoted on any trading market (Going Public Transaction). In circumstances in which redeemable convertible preferred stock is issued with a commitment fee, the proceeds from the issuance of the convertible preferred stock are first allocated to the commitment fee at its full estimated fair value. The Company accounts for the commitment fee as either equity instrument, liability, or derivative liability in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480) and/or ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), depending on the specific terms of the agreement. The commitment fee, which required the Company to issue ordinary shares equal to 3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital immediately following the Going Public Transaction, required the Company to transfer a variable number of shares outside of its control, which is classified as a liability. Liability-classified instruments are recorded at their estimated fair values at each reporting period until they are exercised, terminated, reclassified, or otherwise settled. Changes in the estimated fair value of the commitment fee were recorded in Commitment Fee Expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. Treasury Stock Company shares held as treasury shares are recognized at cost, and as a deduction from equity. Any gain or loss arising from a purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of treasury shares is recognized directly in equity at the time of such event. Warrants The Company accounts for a warrant as an equity instrument, liability or share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and/or ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, depending on the specific terms of the agreement. In February 2021, the Company issued a warrant in exchange for advisory services, which vested upon the completion of the Going Public Transaction. The warrant was in the scope of ASC 718 and was recognized at its grant date fair value when the performance condition became probable of occurrence, which in the Company’s case was the completion of the Going Public Transaction. The grant date fair value was determined using a Black Scholes option-pricing model. Through the MTS Merger, the Company assumed 83,334 warrants issued to a contractor who was formerly the Chief Executive Officer of MTS. The warrants were fully vested and recognized at their grant date fair values immediately prior to the consummation of the MTS Merger and have an exercise price of zero. The grant date fair values were determined using Black Scholes option-pricing models. The compensation expense related to these warrants was recognized in the MTS financial results immediately prior to the merger and thus is not included in the SharpLink consolidated statement of operations. In November 2021, the Company issued warrants concurrent with a sale of ordinary shares to an institutional investor. Based on the terms of the agreements, the warrants were freestanding, equity-linked instruments that represented separate units of account. The Company allocated the value of net proceeds from the offering to the ordinary shares and warrants based on relative fair value on the grant date. The warrants’ grant date fair values were determined using Black Scholes option-pricing models. The value allocated to the warrants was recorded in Additional Paid-In Capital in the consolidated balance sheet. Revenue The Company follows a five-step model to assess each sale to a customer; identify the legally binding contract, identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price, and determine whether revenue will be recognized at a point in time or over time. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services (i.e., performance obligations) to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods or services. Advertising and Marketing Expenses The Company incurred $459,976 in advertising and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Affiliate Marketing Services – United States and the Affiliate Marketing Services – International operating segments generate revenue by earning commissions from sportsbooks and casino operators when a new depositor is directed to them by our affiliate marketing websites. In addition, this segment provides sports betting data (e.g., betting lines) to sports media publishers in exchange for a fixed fee. The Sports Gaming Client Services operating segments’ performance obligations are satisfied over time (software licenses). Software license revenue is recognized when the customer has access to the license and the right to use and benefit from the license. Other items relating to charges collected from customers include reimbursable expenses. Charges collected from customers as part of the Company’s sales transactions are included in revenues and the associated costs are included in cost of revenues. The Company’s SportsHub operating segment collects fees from customers for daily and season-long online fantasy sports games in advance and recognizes the related fees over the term of the online fantasy game. It also collects various forms of fee revenue from customers using its wallet system platform. Its performance obligation is to provide these customers with an online platform to collect entry fees, provide transparency into league transactions, encourage timely payment of entry fees, safeguard funds during the season and facilitate end-of-season prize payouts. Fee revenue related to payment transactions is deferred until the end of the specific season. Other types of fee revenue are recognized on a transactional basis when users complete transactions or when a customer’s account becomes inactive under the terms of the user agreement. SportsHub also provides sports simulation software that customers pay a fee to access over a period of time. SportsHub provides and maintains the software throughout the duration of the season, which constitutes a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized over the term of the service. SportsHub also collects subscription fees from users of its Fantasy National Golf Club. Its performance obligation under these contracts is to provide subscribers with access to SportsHub’s intellectual property. Revenue is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the subscription period. Any discounts, promotional incentives or waived entry fees are treated as a reduction in revenue. Any promotions where funds are issued to a user’s wallet account are recognized as marketing expenses, included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock-based award on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model which incorporates assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of the options, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. Income Taxe s The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, under which deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, net operating losses, and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company uses a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. A tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The standard also provides guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss available to ordinary shareholders, adjusted for preferred stock discount accretion and dividends accrued on preferred stock, by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding if potential ordinary shares (also known as common) had been issued if such additional ordinary shares were dilutive. Since the Company had net losses for all the periods presented, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, and additional potential ordinary shares have been excluded, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2022, dividend accrued in Preferred Series A-1 stock of 66,303 shares, total issuable shares of Series B preferred stock of 124,810, total stock options of 2,889,124 and warrants of 4,003,593 were not included in the net loss per share calculation. Fair Value Measurements The Company has determined the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which provides a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the related asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs related to the asset or liability. Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most critical estimates include those related to purchase accounting, intangibles and long-lived assets, goodwill and impairment, stock based compensation, discontinued operations and revenue recognition. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Contingencies From time to time, we may beco |

Going Concern | Note 2 – Going Concern In the pursuit of SharpLink’s long-term growth strategy and the development of its fan activation and conversion software and related businesses, the Company has sustained continued operating losses. During the year ending December 31, 2022, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 of $15,303,402 and $33,469,830, respectively; and $6,510,965 and $5,854,995 of cash used in operating activities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. To fund these planned losses from operations, the Company secured additional financing through a $3,250,000 term loan in January 2022, as described in Note 8 - Debt. To fund future operations, as described in Note 19, on February 13, 2023, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement with Platinum Bank and executed a revolving promissory note of $7,000,000. Moreover, on February 14, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA”) with Alpha Capital Anstalt ("Alpha”), a current shareholder of the Company, pursuant to which the Company issued to Alpha an 8% Interest Rate, 10% Original Issue Discount, Senior Convertible Debenture (the "Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $4,400,000 for a purchase price of $4,000,000. The Company is continually evaluating strategies to obtain the required additional funding for future operations. These strategies may include, but are not limited to, obtaining equity financing, issuing, or restructuring debt, entering into other financing arrangements, and restructuring of operations to grow revenues and decrease expenses. The Company may be unable to access further equity or debt financing when needed. As such, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. |

Acquisitions | Note 3 – Acquisitions Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd. (“MTS”) Description of the Transaction On July 26, 2021, Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd. (“MTS”), New SL Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of MTS (“Merger Sub”) and privately held SharpLink, Inc. (“SharpLink, Inc.”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into SharpLink, Inc., with SharpLink, Inc. surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of legacy MTS (the “Reverse Merger” or “MTS Merger”). Following the MTS Merger, the Company changed its name from Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd. to SharpLink Gaming Ltd. (the “Company”). On a pro forma and fully-diluted basis for the Company, SharpLink, Inc. shareholders own approximately 86% of the Company, inclusive of a stock option pool of 10% of the fully-diluted outstanding share capital of the Company, and legacy MTS securityholders own approximately 14% of the fully-diluted outstanding capital of the Company. As a result of the MTS Merger, each outstanding share of SharpLink, Inc. common stock was converted into the right to receive SharpLink Gaming Ltd. ordinary shares as calculated pursuant to the Exchange Ratio, as defined in the Merger Agreement. Each outstanding share of SharpLink, Inc. Series A preferred stock was converted into the right to receive SharpLink Gaming Ltd. Series A-1 preferred stock, calculated pursuant to the Exchange Ratio. Each outstanding share of SharpLink, Inc. Series A-1 preferred stock was converted into the right to receive SharpLink Gaming Ltd. Series A-1 preferred stock, calculated pursuant to the Exchange Ratio. Each outstanding share of SharpLink, Inc. Series B preferred stock was converted into the right to receive SharpLink Gaming Ltd. Series B preferred stock, calculated pursuant to the Exchange Ratio. In connection with a closing condition of the Merger Agreement, a major shareholder of both legacy MTS and SharpLink, Inc., invested $6,000,000 in exchange for 3,692,865 shares of SharpLink Gaming Ltd. Series B preferred stock. Identification of Accounting Acquirer As a result of the MTS Merger, SharpLink, Inc. shareholders owned 86% of the Company on a fully diluted and as-converted basis, and held a majority of the voting shares. Additionally, immediately following the closing of the MTS Merger, legacy MTS directors and officers agreed to resign, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. SharpLink, Inc.’ executives became officers of the Company and new members were appointed to the board of directors. The MTS Merger represented a reverse acquisition in which SharpLink, Inc. was the accounting acquirer and legacy MTS was the accounting acquiree. The Company applied the acquisition method of accounting to the identifiable assets and liabilities of legacy MTS, which have been measured at estimated fair value as of the date of the business combination. Purchase Price The purchase price was based on the legacy MTS closing share price of $6.80 on July 26, 2021 and 2,492,162 and 670,789 of Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares, respectively, outstanding as of July 26, 2021, as well as the fair value of 108,334 share options and warrants outstanding as of July 26, 2021. The following table represents the purchase consideration paid in the MTS Merger. Schedule of purchase consideration MTS issued and outstanding ordinary shares immediately prior to Merger 3,162,951 MTS share price on July 26, 2021 $ 6.80 MTS ordinary shares fair value 21,508,067 MTS warrants and options fair value $ 601,965 Purchase consideration for accounting acquiree $ 22,110,032 The fair values of the MTS warrants and options, which are further disclosed in Notes 10 and 12, respectively, were determined using a Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: Schedule of assumptions MTS Warrants - $2.642 strike price Fair value of ordinary shares $ 6.80 Exercise price $ 2.64 Expected volatility 54.7 % Expected dividends 0.0 % Expected term (in years) 3.0 Risk-free rate 0.38 % Fair value per warrant $ 4.49 Warrants 58,334 Fair value $ 261,965 MTS Warrants - $0 strike price Fair value of ordinary shares $ 6.80 Exercise price $ 0.00 Expected volatility 54.7 % Expected dividends 0.0 % Expected term (in years) 3.0 Risk-free rate 0.38 % Fair value per warrant $ 6.80 Warrants 25,000 Fair value $ 170,000 MTS Options - $0 strike price Fair value of ordinary shares $ 6.80 Exercise price $ 0.00 Expected volatility 54.7 % Expected dividends 0.0 % Expected term (in years) 3.0 Risk-free rate 0.38 % Fair value per warrant $ 6.80 Warrants 25,000 Fair value $ 170,000 Purchase Price Allocation The MTS assets and liabilities were measured at estimated fair values at July 26, 2021, primarily using Level 3 inputs. 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 fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of July 26, 2021 were as follows: Schedule of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed Assets: Cash 916,000 Restricted cash 1,016,000 Accounts receivable 356,000 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 322,000 Equipment 25,000 Other long-term assets 261,000 Intangible assets 483,000 Total Assets $ 3,379,000 Liabilities: Accrued expenses 2,129,000 Deferred revenue 914,000 Other current liabilities 495,000 Other long-term liabilities 312,000 Total liabilities $ 3,850,000 Net assets acquired, excluding goodwill $ (471,000 ) Goodwill 22,581,032 Purchase consideration for accounting acquiree $ 22,110,032 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: Schedule of fair value of assumptions asset Weighted Average Fair Value Useful Life (Years) Customer relationships $ 414,000 4 Developed technology 69,000 3 $ 483,000 The excess of the 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 MTS Merger in the go-public transaction. During the year ended December 31, 2021, $21,722,213 of the MTS goodwill was impaired. The goodwill created in the acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The allocation of purchase price is subject to finalization during a period not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. Adjustments to the preliminary allocation of purchase price may occur related to finalization of income taxes. Transaction Costs SharpLink’s transaction costs incurred in connection with the MTS Merger were $3,084,341 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

FourCubed Description of the Transaction On December 31, 2021, SharpLink Gaming Ltd., through its wholly owned subsidiary FourCubed Acquisition Company, LLC, acquired certain business assets of FourCubed (“FourCubed Acquisition”) for total consideration of $6,886,523 in cash and 606,114 ordinary shares of SharpLink Gaming Ltd. with an acquisition date fair value of $1,606,202. Consideration of $6,195,000 was paid on the date of closing, $130,000 plus repayment of cash acquired of $311,523 is due within 45 days after closing and $250,000 is due within six months after closing and subject to indemnity claims. Subsequent to closing, the seller is able to earn up to an additional 587,747 ordinary shares of SharpLink Gaming Ltd. by maintaining employment and meeting certain performance conditions (“ Earnout” Earnout The Company accounts for an earnout as business combination consideration or compensation in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, and/or ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, depending on the specific terms of the agreement. Based on the terms of the agreement, the number of ordinary shares to be paid is fixed as of the agreement date and is paid in the form of ordinary shares in multiple tranches, contingent on continued employment and the achievement of performance milestones, such as business activities, revenue targets and gross margin targets. In March 2022, the seller’s employment was terminated. No performance-based milestones were achieved prior to termination. As the earnout is contingent upon achieving specified milestones and continued employment, the Company does not expect to recognize compensation cost related to the earnout. Purchase Price The purchase price was based on the cash consideration paid and 606,114 ordinary shares issued and valued at the closing share price of $2.65 on December 31, 2021. The following table represents the purchase consideration to be paid in the FourCubed Acquisition. Schedule of purchase consideration Ordinary shares issued to seller 606,114 Ordinary share price on December 31, 2021 $ 2.65 Consideration in ordinary shares 1,606,202 Cash paid to Seller 6,195,000 Due to Seller 691,523 Purchase consideration $ 8,492,725 Purchase Price Allocation The FourCubed assets and liabilities were measured at estimated fair values at December 31, 2021, primarily using Level 3 inputs. 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 customer attrition rates, cost to recreate intellectual property 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 fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of December 31, 2021 were as follows: Schedule of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed Assets: Cash $ 311,523 Accounts receivable 424,593 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 9,468 Intangible assets 4,928,000 Total assets $ 5,673,584 Liabilities: Accrued expenses $ 311,026 Total liabilities 311,026 Net assets acquired, excluding goodwill $ 5,362,558 Goodwill 3,130,167 Purchase consideration for accounting acquiree $ 8,492,725 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: Schedule of fair value of assumptions asset Weighted Average Fair Value Useful Life (Years) Customer relationships $ 4,144,000 10 Developed technology 784,000 1 $ 4,928,000 The excess of the consideration for the acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which is attributed to expected synergies and expanded market opportunities from combining the Company’s operations with FourCubed. The goodwill created in the acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. FourCubed earns advertising commissions from online gambling sites for connecting individuals to the sites. FourCubed has one performance obligation: to make the connection between the individual and the online gambling site. FourCubed is compensated for that delivery through a cost per acquisition model (CPA) or revenue share model. In February 2022, FourCubed was notified by Entain plc, a gaming operator from which FourCubed earned over 85 percent of its revenues, that it intends to exit the Russian market. FourCubed estimates that approximately 40 percent of its annual revenue, with an estimated operating income margin of 25 percent, is earned from players in the Russian market. The Company recorded $3,211,000 of impairment of the customer relationship and a goodwill impairment of $1,515,000, which was due to the loss of access to players in the Russian market due to the exit of FourCubed’s largest customer from that market. The extent of impairment was determined based upon the projected performance of the reporting unit, as determined using an income approach valuation methodology. Key assumptions included in the determination of the reporting unit’s fair value included revenue growth, operating margin, long-term growth rate and discount rate. Transaction Costs Transaction costs incurred in connection with the FourCubed Acquisition were $67,130 for the year ended December 31, 2021. These costs were primarily comprised of professional fees, recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The transaction costs are expected to be deductible for tax purposes. SportsHub Games Network, Inc. (“SportsHub”) Description of the Transaction On December 22, 2022 (the “Close Date”), SharpLink, through its wholly owned subsidiary, SHGN Acquisition Corp (“Acquirer” or the “Merger Subsidiary) acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of SportsHub, via an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 6, 2022 (“Merger Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement between the Acquirer, the Acquiree and an individual acting as the SportsHub stockholders’ representative (“the Stockholder Representative”): · SharpLink issued an aggregate of 4,319,263 ordinary shares to the equity holders of SportsHub, on a fully diluted basis. An additional aggregate of 405,862 ordinary shares are being held in escrow for SportsHub shareholders who have yet to provide the applicable documentation required in connection with the SportsHub Merger, as well as shares held in escrow for indemnifiable losses and for the reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Stockholder Representative in performing his duties pursuant to the Merger Agreement. · SportsHub has merged with and into the Merger Subsidiary, with the Merger Subsidiary remaining as the surviving corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of SharpLink. · SportsHub, which owned 8,893,803 ordinary shares of SharpLink prior to the merger, distributed those shares to SportsHub’s stockholders immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger. These shares were not part of the purchase consideration. · SharpLink assumed $5,387,850 of SportsHub’s debt as purchase consideration. Identification of Accounting Acquirer The transaction was accomplished through a direct acquisition, whereby SHGN Acquisition Corp effectively acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of SportsHub, as a result of which SHGN Acquisition Corp obtained control over SportsHub. Therefore, SHGN Acquisition Corp has been determined to be the acquirer in the transaction, and SportsHub the acquiree. Determining the Acquisition Date The Acquirer obtained control of Acquiree following the exchange of consideration on December 22, 2022. Thus, the closing date of December 22, 2022 was the acquisition date. Purchase Price The purchase price is based on SharpLink’s closing share price of $0.29 on December 22, 2022 and 4,725,125 of Ordinary Shares as well as the fair value of Seller’s term loan of $1,267,199 and line of credit of $4,120,651. The following table represents the purchase consideration paid in the SportsHub Acquisition: Description Amount Fair Value of Equity Consideration $ 1,370,287 Fair Value of Seller Platinum Line of Credit and Loan 5,387,850 Total Purchase Price $ 6,758,137 Purchase Price Allocation The SportsHub Acquisition assets and liabilities were measured at fair values as of December 22, 2022, primarily based on the valuation determined by an independent valuation, which were based on income-based method and relief from royalty method. 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.

The goodwill created in the acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. As of December 31, 2022, the calculation and allocation of the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities is preliminary, as the Company is still in the process of accumulating all of the required information to finalize the opening balance sheet and calculations of intangible assets. Transaction Costs SharpLink’s transaction costs incurred in connection with the SportsHub Acquisition were $83,866 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Leases | Note 4 – Leases The Company leases certain office space under a long-term, non-cancelable operating lease agreement. The contract provides the Company the right to substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the office space and the right to direct the use of the office space, thus it is considered to be or contain a lease. An operating right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability were recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the expected lease term. The lease has an original term that expires in December 2023 with an option to extend the term for three years. The Company has included the optional renewal period in the lease term because the Company determined after considering all economic factors that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option to extend the lease. The agreement requires the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, and repairs. There was no allocation of consideration to any non-lease component as the amounts were not material. The weighted-average discount rate is based on the discount rate implicit in the lease, or if the implicit rate is not readily determinable from the lease, then the Company estimates an applicable incremental borrowing rate. The Company determined the incremental borrowing rate based on the Company’s applicable borrowing rates under its current financing agreements as of the commencement date of the standard adoption. Operating lease costs are recognized in the results of operations as a single lease cost in selling, general and administrative expenses. Total lease costs for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $38,400 and the operating cashflows from operations leases for December 31, 2022 and 2021, was $38,400.

The extent of impairment was determined based upon the projected performance of the asset group and the current valuation of the customer relationship intangible, as determined using the multi-period excess earnings valuation methodology. Key assumptions included in the valuation of the customer relationship included revenue growth attrition, operating margin and discount rate. There is inherent uncertainty included in the assumptions used in intangible impairment testing. A change to any of the assumptions could lead to a future impairment that could be material. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $1,140,472 and $241,253, respectively. Estimated future amortization expense related to the intangible assets placed into service is as follows: Amount 2023 $ 724,564 2024 704,922 2025 673,281 2026 596,306 2027 526,949 Thereafter 465,665 $ 3,691,686 |

Debt | Note 8 – Debt On January 31, 2022, FourCubed Acquisition Company, LLC (“FCAC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a $3,250,000 term loan agreement with a financial institution. The agreement bears annual interest at a rate of 4.0% and requires a fixed monthly payment of $59,854, consisting of principal and interest, through the term loan’s maturity, which is January 31, 2027. The Company capitalized $25,431 of loan initiation fees associated with the agreement which are presented net within Debt on the consolidated balance sheet and amortized on a method which approximates the effective interest method to interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2022, FCAC paid $549,225 and $109,165 in principal and interest, respectively. The remaining principal balance outstanding on the term loan is $2,700,775 as of December 31, 2022, of which $620,173 is due within the next year. In addition to customary non-financial covenants, the term loan requires FCAC to maintain a minimum quarterly debt service coverage ratio, defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by debt service (interest expense and mandatory debt principal repayment) of 1.25. As of December 31, 2022 FCAC was not in compliance with the quarterly debt service coverage ratio. The bank has waived this non-compliance in the quarterly debt service coverage ratio and has revised the quarterly debt service compliance ratio. Management believes it will be in compliance going forward. Included in the SportsHub liabilities was a $2,000,000 term loan agreement with a financial institution. The agreement bears annual interest at a rate of 5.50% percent and requires a fixed monthly payment of $38,202, consisting of principal and interest, through the term loan’s maturity, which is December 9, 2025. Included in the term loan liability is $29,975 of loan initiation fees associated with the agreement which are presented net within Debt on the consolidated balance sheet and amortized on a method which approximates the effective interest method to interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations.

Warrants | Note 10 – Warrants Warrant – Advisory Services On February 1, 2021, SharpLink, Inc. issued a common stock purchase warrant ("warrant”) in exchange for advisory services, which gave the holder the right to purchase up to 636,867 shares of SharpLink, Inc.’s common stock. The terms of the warrant are as follows: Voting and Dividends Exercisability and Termination Dates Exercise Price The warrant is in the scope of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, as a share-based payment issued to nonemployees in exchange for services. Compensation costs for a nonemployee share-based payment award with a performance condition, such as the Going Public Transaction, is recognized when the performance condition becomes probable of occurrence, which in SharpLink, Inc.’s case is when the Going Public Transaction is completed. On July 26, 2021, SharpLink, Inc. completed its merger with Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd. The warrant vested and became fully exercisable into 850,330 ordinary shares in the Company immediately prior to the MTS Merger. The warrant’s grant date fair value of $2,001,677 was recognized upon the completion of the Going Public Transaction using a Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: Fair value of ordinary shares on grant date $ 2.36 Exercise price $ 0.01 Expected volatility 58.2 % Expected dividends 0.0 % Expected term (in years) 5.00 Risk-free rate 0.42 % SharpLink, Inc.’s underlying stock was not publicly traded on the issuance date of the warrant but its fair value was estimated using a straight-line calculation, with the benefit of hindsight, between the fair values determined as of December 31, 2021 and July 26, 2021 of $0.63 per share and $6.80 per share, respectively. SharpLink, Inc.’s underlying stock fair value was determined on December 31, 2021 using recent equity financings and on July 26, 2021 using the Company’s publicly traded share price. The Company determined that the straight-line calculation provides the most reasonable basis for the valuation of the warrant issued on February 1, 2021, because the Company did not identify any single event that occurred during this interim period that would have caused a material change in value. The Company estimates the volatility of its underlying stock by using an average of the calculated historical volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded stock. The expected dividend yield is calculated using historical dividend amounts and the stock price at the warrant issuance date. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected term is estimated based on contractual terms. Warrants - MTS Prior to the MTS Merger, the MTS shareholders approved the issuance of a warrant to the former MTS CEO to acquire 58,334 ordinary shares, at an exercise price of $2.642, which vested and became immediately exercisable upon the consummation of the MTS Merger. The warrant was granted on July 21, 2021 and expires three years after the grant date. The grant date fair value was recognized as an expense upon vesting, which occurred immediately prior to the MTS Merger. The compensation expense related to this warrant was recognized in the MTS financial results immediately prior to the merger and thus is not included in the SharpLink consolidated statement of operations. This warrant does not entitle the holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of SharpLink prior to the exercise of the warrant. Prior to the MTS Merger, the MTS shareholders approved the issuance of a warrant to the former MTS CEO to acquire 25,000 ordinary shares, with a $0 exercise price, which vested and became immediately exercisable upon the consummation of the MTS Merger. The warrant was granted on July 21, 2021 and expires three years after the grant date. The grant date fair value was recognized as an expense upon vesting, which occurred immediately prior to the MTS Merger. The compensation expense related to this warrant was recognized in the MTS financial results immediately prior to the merger and thus is not included in the SharpLink consolidated statement of operations. This warrant does not entitle the holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of SharpLink prior to the exercise of the warrant. Prefunded Warrants and Regular Warrants On November 16, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an existing institutional investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering, an aggregate of 1,413,075 of the Company’s ordinary shares at an offering price of $3.75 per share. In addition, the Company sold to the same investor certain prefunded ordinary share purchase warrants ("Prefunded Warrants”) to purchase 1,253,592 ordinary shares. The Prefunded Warrants were sold at an offering price of $3.74 per warrant share and are exercisable at a price of $0.01 per share. In a concurrent private placement, the Company agreed to issue to the same institutional investor, for each ordinary share and Prefunded Warrant purchased in the offering, an additional ordinary share purchase warrant, each to purchase one ordinary share ("Regular Warrants”). The Regular Warrants are initially exercisable six months following issuance and terminate four years following issuance. The Regular Warrants have an exercise price of $4.50 per share and are exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 2,666,667 ordinary shares. The terms of the Prefunded Warrants are as follows: Voting and Dividends Vesting Date Termination Date The terms of the Regular Warrants are as follows: Voting and Dividends Vesting Date Termination Date The Prefunded Warrants and Regular Warrants do not require a cash settlement for the warrants. Based on the terms of the agreements, the warrants were freestanding, equity-linked instruments that represented separate units of account. The Company allocated the value of net proceeds from the offering to the ordinary shares and warrants based on relative fair value. The value allocated to the warrants was recorded in Additional Paid-In Capital in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Prefunded Warrants and Regular Warrants was determined using a Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: Schedule of assumptions Prefunded Warrants Fair value of ordinary shares $ 3.25 Exercise price $ 0.01 Expected volatility 50.5 % Expected dividends 0.0 % Expected term (in years) 4.00 Risk-free rate 1.03 % Schedule of assumptions Regular Warrants Fair value of ordinary shares $ 3.25 Exercise price $ 4.50 Expected volatility 50.5 % Expected dividends 0.0 % Expected term (in years) 4.00 Risk-free rate 1.03 % The fair value of ordinary shares was based on the Company’s publicly traded ordinary share price. The Company estimates the volatility of its underlying stock by using an average of the calculated historical volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded stock and the Company’s publicly traded ordinary shares. The expected dividend yield is calculated using historical dividend amounts and the stock price at the warrant issuance date. The risk-free rate is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected term is estimated based on contractual terms. For the year ended December 31, 2022, there have been no issuances of new warrants, no conversion of outstanding warrants, and all warrants outstanding are fully vested: Schedule of warrant outstanding Warrant - advisory services Warrants - MTS Prefunded warrants Regular warrants Outstanding Vested Outstanding Vested Outstanding Vested Outstanding Vested Beginning balance, December 31, 2021 — — 83,334 83,334 1,253,592 1,253,592 2,666,667 — Issued and vested — — — — — — — — Acquired — — — — — — — — Converted to ordinary shares — — — — — — — — Ending balance, December 31, 2022 — — 83,334 83,334 1,253,592 1,253,592 2,666,667 — Beginning balance, December 31, 2020 — — — — — — — — Issued and vested 1 1 — — 1,253,592 1,253,592 2,666,667 — Acquired — — 83,334 83,334 — — — — Converted to ordinary shares (1 ) (1 ) — — — — — — Ending balance, December 31, 2021 — — 83,334 83,334 1,253,592 1,253,592 2,666,667 — |

Fair Value | |
Fair Value | Note 11 – Fair Value In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, the Company determines fair value based on the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The inputs used to measure fair value are classified into the following hierarchy: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assumptions Used in Determining Fair Value of the Commitment Fee at December 31, 2021 The commitment fee, which required the Company to sell to the Series A preferred stock shareholder 3,692,862 shares of Series B preferred stock for $6,000,000 and to issue Series A-1 preferred stock equal to 3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital immediately following the Second Tranche (collectively, the commitment fee and second tranche), required the Company to transfer a variable number of shares outside of its control and is classified as a liability. Liability-classified instruments are recorded at their estimated fair values at each reporting period until they are exercised, terminated, reclassified, or otherwise settled. The Company utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to value the commitment fee. The Company selected this model as it believes it is reflective of all significant assumptions that market participants would likely consider in negotiating the transfer of the commitment fee. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, stock price volatility, risk-free rate, probability of completing a Going Public Transaction, conversion price of the preferred stock and the underlying stock price. The Company’s underlying stock fair value was determined using a straight-line calculation, consistent with the method described for the Warrant – Advisory Services in Note 10. Immediately prior to the MTS Merger, the holder of the Series A preferred stock received 700,989 shares of Series A-1 preferred stock in the Company to settle the commitment fee. The change in the commitment fee was $23,301,206 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and is recorded in commitment fee expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The value of the exchange of the Series A preferred stock for the commitment fee was determined using the quoted-market price of the Company’s stock on the MTS Merger date, $6.80 per ordinary share, on the settlement date of July 26, 2021. Significant inputs and assumptions used in the valuation model as of December 31, 2021, were as follows: Schedule of inputs and assumptions of valuation model Probability of a Going Public Transaction 50.0 % Volatility 58.5 % Stock price of public company at the time of measurement $ 0.63 Date of a Going Public Transaction April 30, 2021 Pro-forma common shares outstanding at Going Public Transaction date 52,077,000 The change in the commitment fee between December 31, 2020 and 2021 consisted of the following: Schedule of commitment fee Beginning balance, December 31, 2020 $ 577,000 Commitment fee expense 23,301,206 Issuance of Series A-1 and B preferred stock in exchange for commitment fee (23,878,206 ) Ending balance, December 31, 2021 $ — |

Stock Compensation | Note 12 – Stock Compensation During 2020, SharpLink, Inc. approved and adopted the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2020 plan”), which permits the grant of stock options to its employees, directors and consultants for up to 400,000 shares of SharpLink, Inc. common stock. In connection with the MTS Merger, the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 plan”) and reserved 2,336,632 ordinary shares of the Company for issuance. The Company believes that awards under the 2020 and 2021 plans better align the interests of its employees with those of its stockholders. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those options generally vest based on three years of continuous service and have ten-year contractual terms. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control, as defined in the plan. The Company granted 360,000 options under the 2020 plan for the year ended December 31, 2021. In connection with the MTS Merger, the outstanding options were adjusted by the Exchange Ratio of 1.3352 pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Company granted 2,493,500 and 1,312,000 options under the 2021 plan for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. To provide for adequate shares to issue to these employees, certain executives forfeited an aggregate 1,140,000 options, 360,000 of which were vested. As a result, 780,000 options are deemed to have been forfeited and 360,000 options are deemed to have expired. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, all unrecognized stock compensation associated with these forfeited or expired options must be expensed immediately and resulted in the recognition of $1,655,506 in the second quarter of 2022 which would have otherwise been recognized over approximately the next 18 months. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has reserved 5,436,632 ordinary shares of the Company for issuance. The Company recognized stock compensation expense of $2,486,151 and $1,656,674 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black Scholes option-pricing model. The Company uses historical option exercise and termination data to estimate the expected term the options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield is calculated using historical dividend amounts and the stock price at the option issue date. The expected volatility is determined using the volatility of peer companies. The Company’s underlying stock has been publicly traded since the date of the MTS Merger. All option grants during the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were granted under the 2021 plan subsequent to the MTS Merger. All option grants made under the SharpLink, Inc. 2020 plan were prior to the MTS Merger. SharpLink, Inc.’s underlying stock was not publicly traded, but was estimated on the date of the grants using valuation methods that consider valuations from recent equity financings as well as future planned transactions.

Judgment is required to determine whether each product is considered to be a distinct performance obligation that should be accounted for separately under the contract. We have elected to utilize the “Right to invoice” practical expedient under ASC 606 which allows us to recognize revenue for our performance under the contract for the value which we have provided to the customer during a period of time in our contract with them. Determining whether licenses are distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately, or not distinct and thus accounted for together, requires significant judgment. In some arrangements, such as the Company’s license arrangements, the Company has concluded that the individual licenses are distinct from each other. In others, like the Company’s SaaS arrangements, the software development and final product are not distinct from each other because they are highly integrated and therefore the Company has concluded that these promised goods are a single, combined performance obligation. The Company is required to estimate the total consideration expected to be received from contracts with customers. In certain circumstances, the consideration expected to be received is fixed based on the specific terms of the contract or based on the Company’s expectations of the term of the contract. Generally, the Company has not experienced significant returns from or refunds to customers. These estimates require significant judgment and the change in these estimates could have an effect on its results of operations during the periods involved. The Company follows a five-step model to assess each sale to a customer; identify the legally binding contract, identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price, and determine whether revenue will be recognized at a point in time or over time. Revenue recognized point in time and over time is presented by period below: For the year ended December 31, 2022: Affiliate Marketing Services - U.S. Affiliate Marketing Services - International Sports Gaming Client Services SportsHub Gaming Network Total Point in time $ 62,250 $ 3,427,698 $ - $ 808,418 $ 4,298,366 Over time 353,200 - 2,493,685 142,778 2,989,663 Total $ 415,450 $ 3,427,698 $ 2,493,685 $ 951,196 $ 7,288,029 For the year ended December 31, 2021: Affiliate Marketing Services - U.S. Affiliate Marketing Services - International Sports Gaming Client Services SportsHub Gaming Network Total Over time 211,528 - 2,424,229 - $ 2,635,757 Total $ 211,528 $ - $ 2,424,229 $ - $ 2,635,757 The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in contract advanced billings on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company has an enforceable right to payment upon invoicing and records contract liabilities when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing. The Company recognized unbilled revenue when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing. The Company recognized contract assets related to direct costs incurred to fulfill the contracts. These costs are primarily labor costs associated with the development of the software. The Company defers these costs and amortizes them into cost of revenues over the period revenues are recognized. The activity in the contract assets for the years ending December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows: Amount Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 147,913 Labor costs expensed (483,524 ) Labor costs deferred 554,727 Balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 219,116 The Company’s assets and liabilities related to its contracts with customers were as follows: Schedule of contract assets and liabilities 2022 2021 Accounts receivable $ 776,530 $ 793,795 Unbilled revenue (reported in accounts receivable) 47,000 162,760 Contract assets 219,116 147,913 Contract liabilities (2,166,451 ) (308,058 ) The activity in the contract liabilities for the years ending December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows: Amount Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ (308,058 ) SportsHub acquired balance (3,574,285 ) Revenue recognized or reclassified 2,846,755 Deferred revenue (1,130,863 ) Balance as of December 31, 2022 $ (2,166,451 ) All contract liabilities at December 31, 2022 and 2021 were recognized as revenue or expected to be recognized within the next fiscal year. All other activity in contract liabilities is due to the timing of invoice in relation to the timing of revenue as described above. Contracted but unsatisfied performance obligations were approximately $850,000 and 3,246,000 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of which the Company expects to recognize the entire amount in revenue over the next year. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that its contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the Company’s products and services, and not to facilitate financing arrangements. The Company had two customers that accounted for approximately 45% of revenue in 2022. There was $572,621 due from these customers at December 31, 2022. The Company had four customers that accounted for approximately 49% of revenue in 2021. There was $456,460 due from these customers at December 31, 2021. |

Segment Information | |
Segment Information | Note 14 – Segment Information The Company has four operating segments: Affiliate Marketing Services – United States, Affiliate Marketing Services – International, Sports Gaming Client Services and SportsHub Games Network. Each operating segment is also a reportable segment. The Enterprise Telecom Expense Management ("Enterprise TEM”) business unit is reflected in discontinued operations (see Note 16). The Enterprise TEM and Affiliate Marketing Services – International segments are a result of the MTS Merger and FourCubed Acquisition, respectively, in 2021. The Enterprise TEM segment will not be presented going forward due to its sale on December 31, 2022. The Affiliate Marketing Services – United States segment operates a performance marketing platform which owns and operates state-specific web domains designed to attract, acquire and drive local sports betting and casino traffic directly to the Company’s sportsbook and casino partners which are licensed to operate in each respective state. The Company earns a commission from sportsbooks and casino operators on new depositors directed to them via our proprietary D2P websites in America. In addition, this segment provides sports betting data (e.g., betting lines) to sports media publishers in exchange for a fixed fee. The Affiliate Marketing Services – International segment is an iGaming and affiliate marketing network, focused on delivering quality traffic and player acquisitions, retention and conversions to global iGaming operator partners worldwide in exchange for a commission (cost per acquisition or portion of net gaming revenues) paid to the Company by the partners for the new players referred to them. The Sports Gaming Client Services segment provides its clients with development, hosting, operations, maintenance, and service of free-to-play games and contests. These relationships can be either software-as-service ("SaaS”) arrangements that are hosted by SharpLink and accessed through its clients’ websites or other electronic media; or software licenses that allow the client to take the software on premise. The SportsHub Games Network segment owns and operates a variety of real-money fantasy sports and sports simulation games and mobile apps on its platform; and is licensed or authorized to operate in every state in the United States where fantasy sports play is legal and in which SportsHub has elected to operate based on the financial viability of operating there. The Enterprise TEM segment is a global provider of solutions for telecommunications expense management, enterprise mobility management, call usage and accounting software. The segment’s TEM solutions allow enterprises and organizations to make smarter choices with their telecommunications spending at each stage of the service lifecycle, including allocation of cost, proactive budget control, fraud detection, processing of payments and spending forecasting. The Enterprise TEM segment is reflected as discontinued operations in 2022 and 2021 and was sold in December 2022. (See Note 16.) Any intercompany revenues or expenses are eliminated in consolidation. All of the Company’s operating revenues and expenses, other than those excluded from Adjusted EBITDA as detailed below, are allocated to the Company’s reportable segments.

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the periods when deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has a federal tax net operating loss carryforward of $21,500,845, which will be available to offset future taxable income indefinitely. The Company has net operating loss carryforwards in various states. The net tax effected value of those state net operating loss carryforwards is $376,018. The state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2035 and are available to offset future taxable income or reduce taxes payable through 2040. The Company also has net operating loss carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions of approximately $30,000,000. For the Enterprise TEM division that is classified in discontinued operations (see Note 16), the net operating losses carryforwards have been discontinued due to the sale of MTS on December 31, 2022. The foreign net operating losses related to operations in Israel and Hong Kong that can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has US federal and state research and development tax credits of $95,597 as of December 31, 2022, that will be available to offset future tax liabilities. Research and development tax credits will begin to expire in 2029. A company’s ability to utilize a portion of its net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code due to changes in the equity ownership of the Company. The Company has not completed a formal Section 382 analysis. In addition, future changes in ownership as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code could put limitations on the availability of the net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has deferred assets of $6,683 related to discontinued operations. The provision for (benefit from) income taxes charged to income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 consist of the following: Schedule of income tax expenses benefits 2022 2021 US current tax expense $ 10,718 $ 2,999 Foreign current tax expense — — US deferred tax expense (benefit) 648 1,172 Provision for income tax expenses (benefit) $ 11,366 $ 4,171 A reconciliation between the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations and the statutory tax rate is as follows: Schedule of Effective tax rate 2022 2021 Income tax benefit at federal statutory rate $ (3,288,865 ) 21.0 % $ (11,678,252 ) 21.0 % State and local income taxes net of federal tax benefit (83,610 ) 0.5 % (267,103 ) 0.5 % Rate differentials -- 0.0 % (4,020 ) 0.0 % Meals and entertainment, non-deductible expenses and tax-exempt income (44,073 ) -0.1 % 72,503 -0.1 % Incentive stock option expense 61,851 -0.1 % 59,055 -0.1 % Nondeductible goodwill impairment 167,130 -8.2 % 4,551,259 -8.2 % Nondeductible commitment fee — -8.8 % 4,893,253 -8.8 % PPP loan forgiveness income — 0.0 % — 0.0 % NQO Cancellations 680,002 0.0 % — 0.0 % Financial Statement True Up (5,919 ) 0.0 % — 0.0 % Change in provision for uncertain tax positions -- 0.0 % 1,177 0.0 % Change in valuation allowance 2,524,850 -4.3 % 2,376,299 -4.3 % Provision for income tax expenses (benefit) $ 11,366 0.0 % $ 4,171 0.0 % The Company has not provided any additional U.S. federal or state income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on the undistributed foreign earnings or basis differences as such differences have been considered indefinitely reinvested in the business. The determination of the amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to the undistributed earnings is not practicable because of the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Minnesota, and various other states. The Company is not subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2018. The Company also files in Israel, Hong Kong and other foreign jurisdictions. The Company is not subject to audit in periods prior to 2018 in Israel and 2016, in Hong Kong The other foreign jurisdictions have various tax examination periods. It is difficult to predict the final timing and resolution of any particular uncertain tax position. Based on the Company’s assessment of many factors, including past experience and complex judgements about future events, the Company does not currently anticipate significant changes in its uncertain tax positions over the next 12 months. The following presents the change in accrued uncertain tax positions: Schedule of accrued uncertain tax positions Beginning balance, December 31, 2021 $ 131,100 Uncertain tax position additions 0 Removal for amount related to discontinued operations (131,100 ) Ending balance, December 31, 2022 $ 0 The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as additional income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not recognize material income tax expense related to interest and penalties. The Company’s uncertain tax position balance from continuing operations was $0 at December 31, 2022. The balance from the prior year relates to the MTS discontinued operations and will not be reported in continuing operations. |

In the period in which the component meets the held for sale or discontinued operations criteria the major assets, other assets, current liabilities and non-current liabilities shall be reported as a component of total assets and liabilities separate from those balances of the continuing operations. At the same time, the results of all discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as components of net income (loss) separate from the income (loss) of continuing operations. In June 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved management to enter into negotiations to sell MTS. The Company negotiated a Share and Asset Purchase Agreement with the transaction completed on December 31, 2022. The majority of the assets of the primary reporting unit within MTS were sold. The assets and liabilities remaining post transaction are in the process of winding down subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2022. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the MTS business are separately reported as assets and liabilities from discontinued operations as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The results of operations and cash flows of MTS for all periods are separately reported as discontinued operations. The Company’s Enterprise TEM operating segment entered into contracts with customers to license the rights to use its software products and to provide maintenance, hosting and managed services, support and training to customers. Certain software licenses require customization. The Company sells its products directly to end-users and indirectly through resellers and operating equipment managers, who are considered end users. In June 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved management to enter into negotiations to sell MTS. The Company negotiated a Share and Asset Purchase Agreement with the transaction completed on December 31, 2022. The Enterprise TEM operating segment’s performance obligations are satisfied either overtime (managed services and maintenance) or at a point in time (software licenses). Professional services rendered after implementation are recognized as performed. Software license revenue is recognized when the customer has access to the license and the right to use and benefit from the license. Many of the Enterprise TEM operating segment’s agreements include software license bundled with maintenance and supports. The Company allocates the transaction price for each contract to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on the relative standalone selling price (SSP). The Company determines SSP for the purposes of allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation by considering several external and internal factors including, but not limited to, transactions where the specific element sold separately, historical actual pricing practices in accordance with ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers. The determination of SSP requires the exercise of judgement. For maintenance and support, the Company determines the SSP based on the price at which the Company sells a renewal contract. In accordance with the approval by the Company’s Board of Directors to sell MTS, management undertook an impairment assessment of MTS’ intangible assets and goodwill. Management concluded that the intangible assets of customer relationships and developed technology and its goodwill were impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $1,224,671 in the results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, as adjusted post-sale transaction.

The Company also operates a website that provides a variety of services to private fantasy league commissioners, including secure online payment options, transparent tracking and reporting of transactions, payment reminders, in-season security of league funds, and facilitation of prize payouts. On July 26, 2021, SharpLink, Inc. completed its merger with Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd. (the "MTS Merger”), which changed its name to SharpLink Gaming Ltd. and commenced trading on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol "SBET.” As a result of the MTS Merger, SharpLink, Inc. shareholders own 86% of the Company, on a fully diluted and as-converted basis, and has majority of the voting shares. Additionally, immediately following the closing of the MTS Merger, legacy MTS directors and officers agreed to resign, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. SharpLink, Inc.’s executives became officers of the Company and new members were appointed to the board of directors. The MTS Merger represents a reverse acquisition in which SharpLink, Inc. is the accounting acquirer and legacy MTS is the accounting acquiree. The Company applied the acquisition method of accounting to the identifiable assets and liabilities of legacy MTS, which were measured at estimated fair value as of the date of the business combination. |
Principles of Consolidation | The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SharpLink Gaming Ltd. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. We operate in four reportable segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our Chief Executive Officer, allocates resources and assesses performance based upon discrete financial information at the segment level. |
Reclassifications | Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to reflect the impact of the discontinued operations treatment in order to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 16. |
Functional Currency | The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. The resulting monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing on the subsequent balance sheet date. Revenue and expense components are translated to U.S. dollars at weighted-average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from remeasurement are recognized in other income, net within the consolidated statements of operations. |
Purchase Accounting | The purchase price of an acquired business is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Any unallocated purchase price amount is recognized as goodwill on the consolidated balance sheet if it exceeds the estimated fair value and as a bargain purchase gain on the consolidated statement of operations if it is below the estimated fair value. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management’s judgment, and the utilization of independent valuation experts as well as the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amounts of future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, market prices and asset lives, among other items. The judgments made in the determination of the estimated fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the estimated useful life of each asset and the duration of each liability, can materially impact the financial statements in periods after acquisition, such as through depreciation and amortization expense. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the measurement period are recorded in Provision for Income Taxes. |
Discontinued operations | In June 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved management to enter into negotiations to sell MTS. The Company completed the sale of MTS on December 31, 2022. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the MTS business are separately reported as assets and liabilities from discontinued operations as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations and cash flows of MTS for all periods are separately reported as discontinued operations. |
Restricted cash | Restricted cash consists of funds held for payment of prize liabilities for its various daily and seasonal peer-to-peer fantasy games, as well as private fantasy league dues from customers who utilize the services offered via the Company’s secure online payment and league dues management website. The Company maintains separate accounts to segregate users’ funds from operational funds. |
Concentrations of credit risk | Cash and restricted cash are deposited with major banks in the United States, Israel and Hong Kong. Such deposits in the United States may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Generally, the FDIC limit per bank is $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds above the FDIC limit could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The following represents the cash and restricted cash on hand at December 31, 2022 by banking institution and does not include any reduction for the FDIC insured limit of $250,000. Bank December 31, 2022 Platinum Bank $ 46,023,871 Bank Vista 2,744,359 Silicon Valley Bank 503,103 Other 1,186,153 $ 50,457,486 The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. In certain circumstances, the Company may require letters of credit, other collateral or additional guarantees. |
Accounts receivable | The Company’s policy for estimating the allowance for credit losses on accounts receivables considers several factors including historical loss experience, the age of delinquent receivable balances due, and economic conditions. Specific customer reserves are made during review of significant outstanding balances due, in which customer creditworthiness and current economic trends may indicate that it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Accounts receivables are written off after collection efforts occur and the receivable is deemed uncollectible. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense. Allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $0 and $0, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, no amount of the allowance for credit losses balance was collected. |
Investment, cost | During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company invested $200,000 in Quintar, Inc. an augmented reality company headquartered in California. This investment provided the Company with 280,903 shares, which equates to an 1.12% ownership interest in Quintar. SharpLink does not exercise significant control over Quintar due to its minority ownership role and the fact that SharpLink does not have a seat on Quintar’s Board of Directors, nor hold any special voting rights. As a result, of the Company’s lack of influence over Quintar and the fact that the valuation of Quintar is not easily determinable (privately held business with few transactions) the Company accounts for the Quintar investment through the cost method of accounting. The Company reviews the investment for impairment at each reporting period based on current conditions. This is informed by Quintar’s operating results and financing activities. No impairment was indicated related to the Quintar investment for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. |
Equipment | Equipment is recorded at cost. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productivity capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets which ranges from three to seven years. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, was $25,345 and $28,891, respectively. Accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $100,733 and $86,989, respectively. |
Leases | The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception or modification of the arrangement. An arrangement is or contains a lease if there are identified assets and the right to control the use of an identified asset is conveyed for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset. For a lease with terms greater than year, a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability is recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The initial measurement of the operating lease ROU asset also includes any prepaid lease payments and are reduced by any previously accrued deferred rent. The Company’s operating lease does not provide a readily determinable implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on the information available at commencement date. The Company’s operating lease does not include a fixed rental escalation clause. Lease terms include optional renewal periods when it is reasonably certain that such option will be exercised. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. |
Intangible and Long-Lived Assets | Intangible assets consist of internally developed software, customer relationships, trade names and acquired technology and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes the cost of identifiable intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which ranges from three to ten years. Costs associated with internally developed software are expensed as incurred unless they meet generally accepted accounting criteria for deferral and subsequent amortization. Software development costs incurred prior to the application development stage are expensed as incurred. For costs that are capitalized, the subsequent amortization is the straight-line method over the remaining economic life of the product, which is estimated to be five years. The Company begins amortizing the asset and subsequent enhancements once the software is ready for its intended use. The Company reassesses whether it has met the relevant criteria for deferral and amortization at each reporting date. The Company capitalized $137,565 and $201,436 of costs in the development of its software for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimate future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of an asset group, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the asset group’s carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of customer loss, obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. In accordance with the approval by the Company’s Board of Directors to sell MTS in June 2022, management concluded that the intangible assets of customer relationships and developed technology and its goodwill were impaired and recorded an impairment charge for $1,224,671. The impairment charge was determined based on an assessment of the realization of assets, the ultimate disposition of liabilities and the related carrying value of assets. The impairment charge has been included in the Loss from Discontinued Operations, net of tax line item in the consolidated statement operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. |
Goodwill and Impairment | The Company evaluates the carrying amount of goodwill annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or forecasted operating results, a significant decrease in the market value of an asset or significant negative industry or economic trends. The Company completes impairment reviews for its reporting units using a fair-value method based on management’s judgments and assumptions. When performing its annual impairment assessment, the Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill assigned to each of its reporting units by comparing the estimated fair value of the respective reporting unit to the carrying value, including goodwill. The Company estimates fair value utilizing the income approach and the market approach or a combination of both income and market approaches. The income approach requires management to make assumptions and estimates for each reporting unit, including projected future operating results, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, working capital levels, income tax rates, and a weighted-average cost of capital reflecting the specific risk profile of the respective reporting unit. The key assumptions used in the income approach include revenue growth, operating income margin, discount rate and terminal growth rate. These assumptions are the most sensitive and susceptible to change as they require significant management judgment. Discount rates are determined by using market and industry data as well as Company-specific risk factors for each reporting unit. The discount rate utilized for each reporting unit is indicative of the return an investor would expect to receive for investing in such a business. The market approach estimates fair value using performance multiples of comparable publicly-traded companies. In the event the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value, including goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the implied fair value and the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company recorded goodwill impairment of $1,515,000, which was due to the loss of access to players in the Russian market due to the exit of FourCubed’s largest customer from that market (see Note 3 – Acquisitions – FourCubed – Purchase Price Allocation). The extent of impairment was determined based upon the projected performance of the reporting unit, as determined using an income approach valuation methodology. Key assumptions included in the determination of the reporting unit’s fair value included revenue growth, operating margin, long-term growth rate and discount rate. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded goodwill impairment of $21,722,213 in the Enterprise TEM reporting unit, which is included in the Enterprise TEM operating segment. The Enterprise TEM reporting unit had goodwill of $858,819 and a negative carrying amount of net assets as of December 31, 2021. There is inherent uncertainty included in the assumptions used in goodwill impairment testing. A change to any of the assumptions could lead to a future impairment that could be material. |
Accounts Payable | The composition of accounts payable and accrued expenses are as follows: December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Accounts payable $ 851,031 $ 813,621 Accrued wages and payroll expenses 338,166 181,360 Accrued bonus 358,836 117,370 Accrued interest 32,017 - Other accrued expenses 545,657 291,671 $ 2,125,707 $ 1,404,022 |
Prize Liability | The Company’s prize liability consists of funds to be paid to participants of the various fantasy games hosted by the Company. These prizes are paid to the participants once a fantasy game has concluded and final winners have been determined. |
Customer Deposits | The Company’s liability for customer obligations is in wallet accounts and accounts on the SportsHub platform. Cash related to these accounts may be drawn at the customer’s request. |
Severance Pay | Certain of the Company’s employees in Israel have subscribed to Section 14 of Israel’s Severance Pay Law, 5723-1963 ("Section 14”). Pursuant to Section 14, the Company’s employees, covered by this section, are entitled to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, which are made on their behalf by the Company. Payments in accordance with Section 14 release the Company from any future the severance liabilities in respect of those employees. Neither severance pay liability nor severance pay fund under Section 14 for such employees is recorded on the Company’s balance sheet. With regards to employees in Israel that are not subject to Section 14, the Company’s liability for severance pay is calculated pursuant to the local Severance Pay Law, based on the most recent salary of the relevant employees multiplied by the number of years of employment as of the balance sheet date. These employees are entitled to one-month salary for each year of employment or a portion thereof. The Company’s liability for these employees is fully provided for via monthly deposits with severance pay funds, insurance policies and an accrual. The value of the liability of $342,000 and $366,000 for December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, is recorded in other current liabilities from discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheet. The value of these deposits of $279,000 and $284,000 for December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, is recorded in current assets from discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheet. The deposited funds include profits accumulated up to the balance sheet date. The deposited funds may be withdrawn only upon the fulfillment of the obligation pursuant to the Severance Pay Law or labor agreements. |
Transactions with SportsHub | Prior to December 22, 2022 (see Note 3 – Acquisitions – SportsHub Games Network, Inc.), SportsHub owned approximately 40% of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company. SportsHub has historically paid direct expenses incurred by the Company’s Sports Gaming Client Services business unit (“STI”), which includes salaries and related expenses for the employees of STI. SportsHub collects cash on behalf of STI’s revenue generating activities. The Company was allocated cost of revenue and selling, general, and administrative expenses totaling $285,673 from January 1, 2022 through December 22, 2022 and $284,625, for the year ended December 31, 2021, for costs incurred by SportsHub that were clearly applicable to the current and future revenue producing activities of the Company. Management has allocated these expenses using judgement based on the most reasonable method for the type of expense. Allocation methods were based on headcount, budgeting, salaries expense, and revenue depending on the nature of the expense. |
Redeemable Preferred Stock Issued with a Commitment Fee | The Company considers guidance within ASC 470-20, Debt (ASC 470), ASC 480, and ASC 815 when accounting for a redeemable equity instrument issued with a freestanding-instruments (e.g. commitment fee), such as in the issuance upon the date the SharpLink stock is listed or quoted on any trading market (Going Public Transaction). In circumstances in which redeemable convertible preferred stock is issued with a commitment fee, the proceeds from the issuance of the convertible preferred stock are first allocated to the commitment fee at its full estimated fair value. The Company accounts for the commitment fee as either equity instrument, liability, or derivative liability in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480) and/or ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), depending on the specific terms of the agreement. The commitment fee, which required the Company to issue ordinary shares equal to 3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital immediately following the Going Public Transaction, required the Company to transfer a variable number of shares outside of its control, which is classified as a liability. Liability-classified instruments are recorded at their estimated fair values at each reporting period until they are exercised, terminated, reclassified, or otherwise settled. Changes in the estimated fair value of the commitment fee were recorded in Commitment Fee Expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. |
Treasury Stock | Company shares held as treasury shares are recognized at cost, and as a deduction from equity. Any gain or loss arising from a purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of treasury shares is recognized directly in equity at the time of such event. |
Warrants | The Company accounts for a warrant as an equity instrument, liability or share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and/or ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, depending on the specific terms of the agreement. In February 2021, the Company issued a warrant in exchange for advisory services, which vested upon the completion of the Going Public Transaction. The warrant was in the scope of ASC 718 and was recognized at its grant date fair value when the performance condition became probable of occurrence, which in the Company’s case was the completion of the Going Public Transaction. The grant date fair value was determined using a Black Scholes option-pricing model. Through the MTS Merger, the Company assumed 83,334 warrants issued to a contractor who was formerly the Chief Executive Officer of MTS. The warrants were fully vested and recognized at their grant date fair values immediately prior to the consummation of the MTS Merger and have an exercise price of zero. The grant date fair values were determined using Black Scholes option-pricing models. The compensation expense related to these warrants was recognized in the MTS financial results immediately prior to the merger and thus is not included in the SharpLink consolidated statement of operations. In November 2021, the Company issued warrants concurrent with a sale of ordinary shares to an institutional investor. Based on the terms of the agreements, the warrants were freestanding, equity-linked instruments that represented separate units of account. The Company allocated the value of net proceeds from the offering to the ordinary shares and warrants based on relative fair value on the grant date. The warrants’ grant date fair values were determined using Black Scholes option-pricing models. The value allocated to the warrants was recorded in Additional Paid-In Capital in the consolidated balance sheet. |
Revenue | The Company follows a five-step model to assess each sale to a customer; identify the legally binding contract, identify the performance obligations, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price, and determine whether revenue will be recognized at a point in time or over time. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services (i.e., performance obligations) to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods or services. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at the grant date and recognized over the requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock-based award on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model which incorporates assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of the options, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. |
Income Taxes | The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, under which deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, net operating losses, and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company uses a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. A tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The standard also provides guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. |
Net Loss Per Share | Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss available to ordinary shareholders, adjusted for preferred stock discount accretion and dividends accrued on preferred stock, by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding if potential ordinary shares (also known as common) had been issued if such additional ordinary shares were dilutive. Since the Company had net losses for all the periods presented, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, and additional potential ordinary shares have been excluded, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. At December 31, 2022, dividend accrued in Preferred Series A-1 stock of 66,303 shares, total issuable shares of Series B preferred stock of 124,810, total stock options of 2,889,124 and warrants of 4,003,593 were not included in the net loss per share calculation. |
Fair Value Measurements | The Company has determined the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which provides a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the related asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs related to the asset or liability. |
Estimates | The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most critical estimates include those related to purchase accounting, intangibles and long-lived assets, goodwill and impairment, stock based compensation, discontinued operations and revenue recognition. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Contingencies | From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Although we currently maintain liability insurance coverage intended to cover professional liability and certain other claims, we cannot assure that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover liabilities arising out of claims asserted against us in the future where the outcomes of such claims are unfavorable to us. Liabilities in excess of our insurance coverage, including coverage for professional liability and certain other claims, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. |
Advertising and Marketing Expenses | The Company incurred $459,976 in advertising and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Affiliate Marketing Services – United States and the Affiliate Marketing Services – International operating segments generate revenue by earning commissions from sportsbooks and casino operators when a new depositor is directed to them by our affiliate marketing websites. In addition, this segment provides sports betting data (e.g., betting lines) to sports media publishers in exchange for a fixed fee. The Sports Gaming Client Services operating segments’ performance obligations are satisfied over time (software licenses). Software license revenue is recognized when the customer has access to the license and the right to use and benefit from the license. Other items relating to charges collected from customers include reimbursable expenses. Charges collected from customers as part of the Company’s sales transactions are included in revenues and the associated costs are included in cost of revenues. The Company’s SportsHub operating segment collects fees from customers for daily and season-long online fantasy sports games in advance and recognizes the related fees over the term of the online fantasy game. It also collects various forms of fee revenue from customers using its wallet system platform. Its performance obligation is to provide these customers with an online platform to collect entry fees, provide transparency into league transactions, encourage timely payment of entry fees, safeguard funds during the season and facilitate end-of-season prize payouts. Fee revenue related to payment transactions is deferred until the end of the specific season. Other types of fee revenue are recognized on a transactional basis when users complete transactions or when a customer’s account becomes inactive under the terms of the user agreement. SportsHub also provides sports simulation software that customers pay a fee to access over a period of time. SportsHub provides and maintains the software throughout the duration of the season, which constitutes a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized over the term of the service. SportsHub also collects subscription fees from users of its Fantasy National Golf Club. Its performance obligation under these contracts is to provide subscribers with access to SportsHub’s intellectual property. Revenue is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the subscription period. Any discounts, promotional incentives or waived entry fees are treated as a reduction in revenue. Any promotions where funds are issued to a user’s wallet account are recognized as marketing expenses, included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | In June 2016, the FASB issued ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASC 326”), which replaces the existing incurred loss model with a current expected credit loss ("CECL”) model that requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company would be required to use a forward looking CECL model for accounts receivables, guarantees, and other financial instruments. The Company will adopt ASC 326 on January 1, 2023 and does not expect ASC 326 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”), which clarifies the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“Topic 820”), when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. While the Company is continuing to assess the timing of adoption and the potential impacts of ASU 2022-03, it does not expect ASU 2022-03 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |
