Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 71.9% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) and 11.0% year-over-year (YoY) for the nine-month period. The Q3 increase was driven by sales of Le Mans Ultimate DLCs and the RaceControl subscription service, offset by the cessation of NASCAR-related revenue following the license sale in late 2023.
• Profitability Turnaround: The company reported a net income of $0.77 million for Q3 2025, compared to a net loss of $0.57 million in Q3 2024. For the nine months ended Sept 30, 2025, net income was $6.03 million versus a loss of $0.17 million in the prior year period.
• Expense Reduction: Total operating expenses decreased 43.4% QoQ and 46.8% YoY (9mo). Significant reductions were seen in Development (down 50.6% QoQ) and General & Administrative expenses (down 41.3% QoQ), primarily due to lower headcount and reduced legal/professional fees.
• One-Time Gains: Net income for the nine-month period included significant non-operating gains: $0.8 million from a settlement with Wesco Insurance, $0.5 million from a settlement with Innovate 2 (formerly HC2 Holdings), and $0.18 million from a settlement with Luminis regarding purchase commitment liabilities.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Liquidity Outlook: Management expects current cash on hand ($4.13 million as of Sept 30, increased to $4.5 million by Oct 31) to fund operations for at least one year. The company raised approximately $2.35 million in net proceeds from a private placement in April 2025.
• Product Roadmap: Le Mans Ultimate Version 1.0 was released in July 2025. The company plans to organize the 2025/26 Le Mans Virtual Series later in the year. Future product releases may be adjusted based on liquidity and cost-saving initiatives.
• Financing Constraints: The company terminated its $12 million line of credit with Driven Lifestyle in November 2025, citing a lack of viability for future borrowing. Future fundraising is subject to a "Right of First Refusal" granted to April 2025 private placement investors, which may limit the company's ability to raise capital on favorable terms.
• Internal Controls: The company disclosed material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that remain unremediated as of September 30, 2025. These relate to monitoring procedures, insufficient accounting personnel, and lack of independent review of complex accounting analyses.
• Customer Concentration: Revenue is highly concentrated; Customer D accounted for 56.6% of Q3 2025 revenue. The top two customers accounted for 80% of Q3 revenue.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Sustainability of Profitability: Verify if the $6.0 million net income for the nine-month period is sustainable without the $1.5 million in one-time settlement gains (Wesco, Innovate 2, Luminis).
• Liquidity Runway: Confirm the company's ability to fund operations for the next 12 months given the termination of the Driven Lifestyle line of credit and the restrictions on future equity raises.
• Internal Control Remediation: Monitor progress on remediation plans for material weaknesses in internal controls, which pose a risk to the accuracy of future financial reporting.
• Customer Dependency: Assess the risk associated with Customer D representing over 56% of Q3 revenue and the potential impact of losing this partner.
• Franchise Viability: Evaluate the long-term revenue potential of the Le Mans franchise as the primary revenue driver following the loss of NASCAR, BTCC, and INDYCAR licenses.
