Independent Accountant's Review Report

Board of Directors and Stockholders

SportsHub Games Network, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Minneapolis, Minnesota

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated financial statements of SportsHub Games Network, Inc. and its Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and the related consolidated statements of operations, other comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management's financial data and making inquiries of company management. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Accountant's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to conduct the review engagement in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of the AICPA. Those standards require us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance as a basis for reporting whether we are aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements for them to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe that the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our conclusion.

We are required to be independent of SportsHub Games Network, Inc. and Subsidiaries and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements related to our review.

Accountant's Conclusion

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in order for them to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Report on the December 31, 2021, Consolidated Balance Sheet

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, other comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) were audited by us, and we expressed an unmodified opinion on them in our report dated October 11, 2022. We have not performed any auditing procedures since that date.

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Activity

SportsHub Games Network, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is 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.

SharpLink Gaming Ltd. (formerly Mer Telemanagement Services or "MTS") is an Israeli-based multi-national corporation. SharpLink is comprised of four operating segments: Affiliate Marketing Services - United States, Sports Gaming Client Services, Enterprise Telecom Expense Management ("TEM") and Affiliate Marketing Services - International. 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." SharpLink hereinafter refers to SharpLink, Inc. for the period prior to the merger and SharpLink Gaming Ltd. for the period subsequent to the merger. As a result of the MTS Merger, SharpLink, Inc. shareholders own 86% of SharpLink, 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 SharpLink 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. SharpLink 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 SportsHub Games Network, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, LeagueSafe Management, LLC, SportsHub Reserve, LLC, and Virtual Fantasy Games Acquisition, LLC.

All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Non-controlling interest represents the interest in SharpLink that is owned by other investors and their related equity raised. This averaged approximately 17% of the activity in SharpLink, Inc. based on the percentage of ownership during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company allocates all of SharpLink's stock-based compensation, preferred dividend and discount accretion to non-controlling interest. Effective August 31, 2021, the Company no longer had a controlling interest in SharpLink and deconsolidated it from the Company's consolidated financial statements (see Note 6).

SportsHub Games Network, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Business Acquisition

The Company accounts for business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations. The total cost of business acquisitions is determined based on the fair value of the consideration transferred to the seller to acquire control, while the cost allocated to the underlying separately identifiable net assets acquired is based on their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Net assets not separately identifiable are subsumed into goodwill. Fair values are calculated using a variety of methodologies including the cost approach, which uses the concept of replacement as an indicator of market value, and the income approach, which utilizes discounted cash flow models. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the valuation methodologies requires judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash inflows and outflows and discount rates, among other items.

Common Control Merger

On November 1, 2020, the Company contributed certain assets and liabilities to a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, Sports Technologies, LLC (STI). Following this contribution, STI merged into ST Acquisitions, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of SharpLink, in a reverse triangular merger under which STI was the surviving subsidiary to SharpLink. As consideration in exchange for the merger, the Company received 4,061,141 shares of SharpLink, Inc. common stock.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash accounts in various financial institutions, the balances of which are periodically in excess of federally insured limits.

Restricted Cash

The Company's restricted cash balances consist 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. Restricted cash is segregated from operating cash in separate accounts at the Company's SportsHub Reserve, LLC and LeagueSafe Management, LLC subsidiaries.

Equity Method Investment

As of August 31, 2021, the Company no longer had a controlling interest in SharpLink, Inc. and deconsolidated it from the Company's consolidated financial statements (see Note 6) and started to account for the investment under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is initially recorded at cost, then the Company's proportional share of SharpLink's net income or loss is recorded as a component of other income (expense) with a corresponding increase or decrease to the carrying value of the investment. Distributions received from SharpLink reduce the Company's carrying value of the investment. These investments are evaluated for impairment if events or circumstances arise that indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. At September 30, 2021, the Company determined its investment was impaired and recognized an impairment loss of $13,150,841 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. At December 31, 2021, the Company determined its investment was impaired and recognized an impairment loss of $29,381,877 for the year ended December 31, 2021. At September 30, 2022, the Company determined its investment was impaired and recognized an impairment loss of $10,853,652 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Accounts Receivable and Credit Policy

Accounts receivable are recorded at their estimated net realizable value, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company's estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon historical experience, its evaluation of the current status of receivables, and unusual circumstances, if any. Accounts are considered past due if payment is not made on a timely basis in accordance with the Company's credit terms. The Company does not charge interest on past due accounts. Credit terms are extended to customers in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial conditions and generally requires no collateral. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon and evaluation of the current status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change.

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. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the life of the lease.

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

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.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with a finite life 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 seven 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 3 to 5 years.

The Company reassesses whether it has met the relevant criteria for deferral and amortization at each reporting date. The Company classifies amortization related to developed technology as cost of revenue totaling $815,067 and $891,425 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Long-Lived Assets

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 a long-lived asset group, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the asset group's carrying value exceeds the fair value of the 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. Based on this assessment there was no impairment recognized during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Goodwill

The Company records goodwill when consideration paid in an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible assets and the identified intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment. The Company has determined that there are seven reporting units for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests.

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 had accumulated goodwill impairment of $1,644,000 as of September 30, 2022 and 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.

Leases

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the new lease accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the establishment of a right-of-use-asset and lease liability of $567,602 on January 1, 2020, and did not have any effect on accumulated deficit. The standard requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for lease contracts with terms greater than 12 months.

Operating lease costs are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as a single lease cost and finance lease costs are recognized in two components, interest expense and amortization expense. The Company has elected the package of practical expedients permitted in ASC 842. Accordingly, the Company accounted for its existing leases as either finance or operating leases under the new guidance, without reassessing (a) whether the contract contains a lease under ASC 842, (b) whether classification of the operating lease would be different in accordance with ASC 842, or (c) whether the unamortized initial direct costs before transition adjustments would have met the definition of initial direct costs in ASC 842 at lease commencement. In addition, the Company elected to utilize the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease term when considering options to extend the term of leases. See Note 11 for further disclosure of the Company's lease contracts and the impact the on the consolidated financial statements.

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 holds cash on behalf of customers in wallet accounts and accounts on the LeagueSafe Management, LLC platform. Cash related to these accounts may be drawn on at any time at the request of the customer.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 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.

Revenue Recognition

The Company enters into contracts for the development, hosting, operations, maintenance, and service of games and contests that are hosted by the Company and accessed through the customer's website or other electronic media. This generally results in revenue from developing, hosting, and maintaining software for customers (cloud-hosted SaaS) or licensing revenue for the development of software.

The Company enters into implicit and explicit contracts with end users for the hosting peer to peer online fantasy game and wallet operations. This generally results in revenue from online fantasy games and wallet operations.

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. The Company's performance obligations are satisfied either over time (net gaming revenue, subscription revenue and certain types of fee revenue) or at a point in time (for certain types of fee revenue).

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.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at the grant date and recognized over the relevant vesting 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.

SharpLink Redeemable Preferred Stock Issued with a Commitment Fee

SharpLink issued redeemable preferred stock with a commitment fee in 2020. The Company considers guidance within ASC 470-20, Debt (ASC 470), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC 480), and Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) when accounting for a redeemable equity instrument issued with a freestanding-instruments (e.g., commitment fee), such as in the December 2020 SharpLink preferred stock issuance (First Tranche) and the second issuance upon the date the common stock of SharpLink is listed or quoted on any trading market (Going Public Transaction) (Second Tranche). 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.

Commitment Fee

The Company accounts for the commitment fee as either equity instrument, liability, or derivative liability in accordance with ASC 480 and/or ASC 815, depending on the specific terms of the agreement. The commitment fee, which requires SharpLink to issue common shares equal to the greater of either 15% of the aggregate of the First and Second Tranche or 3% of SharpLink's issued and outstanding capital immediately following the Second Tranche, may require SharpLink to transfer a variable number of shares outside of its control, 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 recognized commitment fee expense of $23,301,206 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. There was no commitment fee expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Paycheck Protection Program Loans

The Company followed Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 470 in accounting for its Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. Upon forgiveness and legal release, the Company reduced the liability by the amount forgiven and recorded a gain on forgiveness.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, was $102,704 and $187,760, respectively.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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.

Identification of accounting acquirer

As a result of the MTS Merger, SharpLink, Inc. shareholders own 86% of SharpLink, 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 MTS Merger Agreement. SharpLink, Inc. executives became officers of SharpLink, 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. SharpLink 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 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.

Mer Telemanagement Solutions (Continued)

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. As of 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021. These costs were primarily comprised of professional fees, recorded in transaction expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. The transaction costs are not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Results of the MTS Business Subsequent to the Acquisition

The MTS business had approximate revenues and net loss of $653,000 and $22,332,000, respectively, which includes the impact of purchase accounting adjustments and goodwill impairment of $21,722,213. These results are included in operations for the period from July 26, 2021 through September 30, 2021.

NOTE 3 - REVENUE RECOGNITION

Nature of Products and Services

Software License

The Company's software license allows the customer to take the software on premise. Electronic transfers of software licenses are recognized upon transfer of control, which is considered to occur when it is provided to the customer, resulting in revenue being recognized after the software has been delivered. Payments are due 30 days after being invoiced.

Software-as-a-Service

Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") arrangements are highly integrated services of development and hosting that grant customers the right to access the software. Updates are generally made available throughout the entire term of the arrangement, which is generally the length of a league season or single event period.

Via its Sports Gaming Client Services offerings, the Company provides a stand-ready obligation that includes an online library and technical support resources in these SaaS arrangements, which constitute a single, combined performance obligation, and revenue is recognized over the term of the service. Invoicing generally reflects two milestone payment terms. Other revenues related to the Affiliate Marketing Services software the Company is developing are immaterial.

Nature of Products and Services (Continued)

Software-as-a-Service (Continued)

The Company's WhatIfSports product provides sports simulation software that its users pay a fee to access over a period of time. The Company provides and maintains the software throughout the duration of the season, which constitutes a single performance obligation. Revenue is recognized over the term of the service.

Net Gaming Revenue

The Company 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. Users of season-long online games are allowed to purchase additional fantasy add-on packages. Based on the type of add-on, revenue is recognized at the time of purchase or over the related period of time the add-on is valid. The Company's performance obligation under these contracts is to provide the customers with a platform to play these fantasy sports games over the course of the season. Revenue is recognized ratably over the period of the related sports season.

Fee Revenue

The Company collects various forms of fee revenue from customers during their use of LeagueSafe. The Company's performance obligation is to provide customers with an online platform to collect entry fees, provide transparency into league transactions, encourage timely payment of entry fees, secure 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 an account becomes inactive under the terms of the user agreement.

Subscription Revenue

The Company collects subscriptions from customers when they sign up for access to Fantasy National Golf Club. The Company's performance obligation under these contracts is to provide users with access to their intellectual property. The property carries data that provides users with information to make betting decisions for professional golf. Revenue is initially deferred and recognized ratably over the subscription period.

Total	$	3,439,557		$	5,824,360

Timing of Revenue Recognition

The Company has performance obligations that are satisfied over time and others that are satisfied at a point in time, as follows:

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,		September 30,
	2022		2021
Performance obligation satisfied:
Over time	$	1,910,103		$	4,563,688
At a point in time		1,529,454			1,260,672

Net sales	$	3,439,557		$	5,824,360

Significant Judgments

The Company's lone license contract contains promises to transfer multiple products to the customer. 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. The Company allocates the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations based on relative standalone selling price (SSP) such as the prices charged to customers on a standalone basis, contractually stated prices, and other entity specific factors or by using information such as market conditions and other observable inputs. The Company estimates SSP by maximizing use of observable prices such as contractually stated prices.

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.

If a group of agreements are so closely related that they are, in effect, part of a single arrangement, such agreements are deemed to be one arrangement for revenue recognition purposes. The Company exercises significant judgment to evaluate the relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether the separate agreements should be accounted for separately or as, in substance, a single arrangement. The Company's judgments about whether a group of contracts comprise a single arrangement can affect the allocation of consideration to the distinct performance obligations, which could have an effect on results of operations for the periods involved.

NOTE 3 - REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)

The Company is required to estimate the total consideration expected to be received from contracts with customers. In limited 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.

Contract Balances

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 deferred revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing. The Company recognizes unbilled revenue when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing.

The Company recognizes 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 revenue over the period revenue is recognized. The Company had no contract assets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The Company's assets and liabilities related to its contracts with customers were as follows:

	As of		As of
	September 30,		December 31,
	2022		2021

Accounts receivable	$	10,497		$	30,290
Deferred revenue		8,106,051			914,412

The Company had accounts receivable balance of $373,239 as of January 1, 2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized all of the revenue that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period. All other activity in contract advanced billing is due to the timing of invoices in relation to the timing of revenue as described above.

Contracted but unsatisfied performance obligations were approximately $8,096,733 as of September 30, 2022, which the Company expects to recognize in revenue over the next 12 months. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, revenue was recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

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.

NOTE 4 - RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS

The Company had restricted investments that matured during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and were not renewed. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, restricted investments matured for total proceeds of $727,766.

NOTE 5 - SHARPLINK DECONSOLIDATION AND EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT

During 2021, SharpLink preferred stockholders converted preferred shares to ordinary shares (see Note 14), and as a result, the Company no longer had a controlling interest in SharpLink as of August 31, 2021 and deconsolidated SharpLink from its consolidated financial statements effective as of August 31, 2021. In accordance with ASC 810, the Company recorded a gain on deconsolidation of $48,648,838 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 in the other income (expense) section of the consolidated statements of operations. The gain on deconsolidation was calculated as follows:

Fair value of retained equity method investment	$	54,341,136
Carrying amount of non-controlling interest		(375,189	)
Carrying amount of net assets of SharpLink at August 31, 2021		(5,317,109	)

Gain on deconsolidation of SharpLink	$	48,648,838

The Company retained significant influence over the operating and financial policies of SharpLink and measured the fair value of the retained investment based on their share of the fair value of SharpLink, which is calculated using the market approached.

NOTE 6 - FAIR VALUE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

There are three general valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value, as described below:

	1.	Market approach - Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Prices may be indicated by pricing guides, sale transactions, market trades, or other sources.

	2.	Cost approach - Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

	3.	Income approach - Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about the future amounts (includes present value techniques and option-pricing models). Net present value is an income approach where a stream of expected cash flows is discounted at an appropriate market interest rate.

Assets (liabilities) itemized below were measured at fair value using the market approach. The market approach was used for Level 1 assets measured on a non-recurring basis.

NOTE 9 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company owns approximately 40% of the outstanding ordinary shares of SharpLink as of September 30, 2022. The Company has historically paid direct expenses incurred by SharpLink's subsidiary, STI, which includes salaries and related expense for the employees of STI. The Company collects cash on behalf of the STI's revenue generating activities. The Company allocated to STI cost of revenue and selling, general, and administrative expenses totaling $211,171 and $178,334 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, for costs incurred by the Company that were clearly applicable to the current and future revenue producing activities of STI. 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 expense.

Since the merger of STI and SharpLink on November 1, 2020, the Company has generated a receivable from STI for expenses paid on behalf of STI in excess of cash collected by the Company on behalf of STI's revenue generating activities, which is recorded in related party receivable in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, STI owed the Company $35,670 and $93,954, respectively.

The Company has a banking relationship with Platinum Bank (Platinum), which is considered a related party due to a board member of Platinum also serving on the board of directors for the Company and owns common stock of the Company. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had related party cash and restricted cash balances of $50,280,236 and $28,549,384, respectively. The Company had interest income related to these accounts totaling $271,357 and $182,380 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company also has related party notes with Platinum as discussed in Note 11 and 12.

The Company uses Brown & Brown (Brown), formerly Hays Companies, for all of its insurance brokerage needs. Brown is considered a related party as executives in Brown and its predecessor, own common stock in the Company, a Brown employee serves on the board of directors for the Company, and another employee serves on the board of directors for both the Company and SharpLink. As a result of MTS Merger, see Note 2, all board of director members of both the Company and SharpLink, resigned from the Company's board of directors as of July 26, 2021. The Company paid $0 and $143,708 for the nine months ending September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively for insurance coverage brokered by Brown.

NOTE 10 - OPERATING LEASES

The Company leases certain office space under a long-term, non-cancelable operating lease agreement. 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 this option to extend the lease because the Company determined after considering all economic factors that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise this 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 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.

NOTE 15 - SHARPLINK CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED)

On July 26, 2021, SharpLink, Inc. completed its merger with Mer Telemanagement Solutions Ltd. ("MTS") (the "MTS Merger") and changed its name to SharpLink and commenced trading on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol "SBET." The MTS Merger was effectuated by a share exchange in which MTS issued shares to SharpLink, Inc. shareholders, resulting in SharpLink, Inc. shareholders owning approximately 86% of the capital stock of SharpLink, on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis. The exchange ratio used to determine the number of shares issued to SharpLink, Inc. shareholders was 1.3352, which was calculated pursuant to the terms of the MTS Merger Agreement.

At SharpLink's Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on July 21, 2021, SharpLink's shareholders approved an Amended and Restated Articles of Association, which was effective upon consummation of the MTS Merger. The Amended and Restated Articles of Association increased the registered share capital to 92,900,000 ordinary shares, 800,000 shares of Series A preferred stock, 2,600,000 shares of Series A-1 preferred stock and 3,700,000 shares of Series B preferred stock, each at a par value of $0.02, reflecting the reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-to-2, which became effective on July 26, 2021 immediately prior to the effectiveness of the MTS Transaction.

The terms of the Series A preferred stock, Series A-1 preferred stock and Series B preferred stock authorized by SharpLink are consistent with the terms of the SharpLink, Inc. Series A preferred stock, Series A-1 preferred stock and Series B preferred stock.

The SharpLink's equity structure was adjusted for all periods presented in the consolidated statements of shareholders' equity using the exchange ratio established in the MTS Merger Agreement to reflect the number of shares of the legal parent (the accounting acquiree) issued in the reverse acquisition. Ordinary share par value and additional paid-in capital was adjusted for all periods presented in the consolidated statements of shareholders' equity to reflect the new par value of ordinary shares after the 1-to-2 reverse stock split.

The MTS Merger represented a Going Public Transaction. Immediately prior to the MTS Merger, the outstanding shares of the SharpLink, Inc. Series A preferred stock were exchanged for 1,230,956 shares of Series A-1 preferred stock in the Company. Additionally, 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 and 3,692,862 shares of Series B preferred stock in the Company in exchange for $6,000,000 to settle the second tranche commitment.

Subsequent to the MTS Merger, the holder of the Series A-1 preferred stock and Series B preferred stock converted 1,931,945 and 3,568,055 shares, respectively, to ordinary shares of SharpLink, each at a 1:1 ratio.

On July 26, 2021, SharpLink, Inc. completed the MTS Merger. 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

NOTE 16 - SHARPLINK WARRANTS (CONTINUED)

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, 2020, 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, 2020, using recent equity financings and on July 26, 2021, using SharpLink's publicly traded share price. SharpLink determined that the straight-line calculation provides the most reasonable basis for the valuation of the warrant issued on February 1, 2021, because the SharpLink did not identify any single event that occurred during this interim period that would have caused a material change in value.

The SharpLink 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.

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. 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, there are no uncertain tax positions, and the Company does not currently anticipate significant changes in its uncertain tax positions over the next 12 months.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as additional income tax expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not recognize material income tax expense related to interest and penalties.
