Summary and Analysis of Key Points
Overview of the Company’s Financial Performance
- The company is focused on two main business areas: iGaming assets and legacy biotechnology programs.
- For the iGaming business, the company acquired blockchain-based gaming technology assets in September 2024 and is planning to commercialize an online casino using this technology. The initial costs to fully commercialize the iGaming platform are estimated to be $3-$5 million.
- The company’s legacy biotechnology programs have been significantly slowed down due to resource constraints, and the company is evaluating options to monetize these assets.
- The company has experienced liquidity issues and needs to raise significant additional capital to fund its operations and planned iGaming launch. As of March 31, 2025, the company had $3.7 million in cash and a working capital of $87,000.
Revenue and Profit Trends
- The company is not currently generating any revenue, as it is still in the development and planning stages for its iGaming business.
- The company reported a net loss of $2.37 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $1.07 million for the same period in 2024.
- The increase in net loss was primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower research and development costs.
