CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The information contained in this Offering Circular includes some statements that are not historical and that are considered forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our development plans for our business; our strategies and business outlook; anticipated development of our company; and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations). These forward-looking statements express our expectations, hopes, beliefs and intentions regarding the future. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words anticipates, believes, continue, could, estimates, expects, intends, may, might, plans, possible, potential, predicts, projects, seeks, should, will, would and similar expressions and variations, or comparable terminology, or the negatives of any of the foregoing, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Circular are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments that are difficult to predict. We cannot guarantee future performance, or that future developments affecting our company will be as currently anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties, along with others, are also described below in the Risk Factors section. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and should not make an investment decision based solely on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

 

OFFERING CIRCULAR SUMMARY

Our Company

 

Our company, Elray Resources, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 13, 2006.

 

In 2011, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Splitrock Agreement”), as amended, with Splitrock Ventures (BVI) Limited (“Splitrock”), a company engaged in the online gaming business, pursuant to which we acquired gaming intellectual property, gaming domains, trademarks and player databases. In conjunction with the Splitrock Agreement, our current Chief Executive Officer, Anthony B. Goodman, Donald Radcliffe and Roy Sugarman were elected as our new Board of Directors. Messrs. Radcliffe and Sugarman have since resigned. Our strategy is to provide online gaming to players in markets where such activities are legal. (See “Business”).

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in the Offered Shares involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Offering Circular, before purchasing any of the Offered Shares. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause you to lose a significant part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. (See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”).

 

Risks Associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic

 

It is possible that the Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic could cause long-lasting stock market volatility and weakness, as well as long-lasting recessionary effects on the United States and/or global economies. Should the negative economic impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic result in continuing long-term economic weakness in the United States and/or globally, our ability to expand our business would be severely negatively impacted. It is possible that our company would not be able to sustain during any such long-term economic weakness. The COVID-19 pandemic has, to date, had minimal impact on our operations.

 

Risks Related to Our Company

 

We have incurred losses in prior periods, and losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our common stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows. We have incurred losses in prior periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we incurred a net loss of $347,875 (unaudited) and, as of that date, we had an accumulated deficit of $35,257,003 (unaudited). For the year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred a net loss of $1,091,825 (unaudited) and, as of that date, we had an accumulated deficit of $34,909,128 (unaudited). Any losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our common stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows.

 

Our financial statements are not independently audited, which could result in errors and/or omissions in our financial statements if proper standards are not applied. We are not required to have our financial statements audited by a firm that is certified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). As such, we do not have a third party reviewing the accounting. We may also not be up to date with all publications and releases released by the PCAOB regarding accounting standards and treatments. This circumstance could mean that our unaudited financials may not properly reflect up to date standards and treatments resulting misstated financials statements.

 

There is doubt about our ability to continue as a viable business. We have not earned a profit from our operations during recent financial periods. There is no assurance that we will ever earn a profit from our operations in future financial periods.

 

We may be unable to obtain sufficient capital to implement our full plan of business. Currently, we do not have sufficient financial resources with which to establish our business strategies. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sources of financing, including in this offering, in order to satisfy our working capital needs.

Table of Contents

 

We do not have a successful operating history. For the year ended December 31, 2021, and the three months ended March 31, 2022, we generated no revenues and reported a net loss from operations, which makes an investment in the Offered Shares speculative in nature. Because of this lack of operating success, it is difficult to forecast our future operating results. Additionally, our operations will be subject to risks inherent in the implementation of new business strategies, including, among other factors, efficiently deploying our capital, developing and implementing our marketing campaigns and strategies and developing greater awareness. Our performance and business prospects will suffer if we are unable to overcome the following challenges, among others:

 

 

·

our dependence upon external sources for the financing of our operations, particularly given that there are concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern;

 

·

our ability to execute our business strategies;

 

·

our ability to manage our expansion, growth and operating expenses;

 

·

our ability to finance our business;

 

·

our ability to compete and succeed in highly a competitive industry; and

 

·

 future geopolitical events and economic crisis.

Table of Contents

We have limited operational history in an emerging industry, making it difficult to predict and forecast accurately business operations. As we have limited operations in our business and have yet to generate revenue, it is extremely difficult to make accurate predictions and forecasts on our finances. This is compounded by the fact that we operate in the gaming industry, which is a rapidly transforming industry. There is no guarantee that our products or services will remain attractive to potential and current users as this industry undergoes rapid change, or that potential customers will utilize our services.

 

There are risks and uncertainties encountered by under-capitalized companies. As an under-capitalized company, we are unable to offer assurance that we will be able to overcome our lack of capital, among other challenges.

 

We may not be successful in establishing our gaming business model. We are unable to offer assurance that we will be successful in establishing our gaming business model. Should we fail to do so, you can expect to lose your entire investment in the Offered Shares.

 

We may never earn a profit in future financial periods. Because we lack a successful operating history, we are unable to offer assurance that we will ever earn a profit in future financial periods.

 

If we are unable to manage future expansion effectively, our business may be adversely impacted. In the future, we may experience rapid growth in our operations, which could place a significant strain on our company’s infrastructure, in general, and our internal controls and other managerial, operating and financial resources, in particular. If we are unable to manage future expansion effectively, our business would be harmed. There is, of course, no assurance that we will enjoy rapid development in our business.

 

We currently depend on the efforts of our Chief Executive Officer; the loss of this executive could disrupt our operations and adversely affect the further development of our business. Our success in establishing implementing our real estate business strategies will depend, primarily, on the continued service of our Chief Executive Officer, Anthony B. Goodman. The loss of service of Mr. Goiodman, for any reason, could seriously impair our ability to execute our business plan, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business and future results of operations. We have not entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Goodman. We have not purchased any key-man life insurance.

 

If we are unable to recruit and retain key personnel, our business may be harmed. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our business may be harmed. Our failure to enable the effective transfer of knowledge and facilitate smooth transitions with regard to our key employees could adversely affect our long-term strategic planning and execution.

 

Our business strategies are not based on independent market studies. We have not commissioned any independent market studies with respect to the gaming industry. Rather, our plans for implementing our business strategies and achieving profitability are based on the experience, judgment and assumptions of our management. If these assumptions prove to be incorrect, we may not be successful in establishing our business.

 

Natural disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us. Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and, thus, could have a strong negative affect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, war, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers and could decrease demand for our services.

 

Servicing our debt will require a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our debt. Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness, including the outstanding convertible notes, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations.

Table of Contents

 

Our operating expenses could increase without a corresponding increase in revenues. Our operating and other expenses could increase without a corresponding increase in revenues, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial results and on an investment in the Offered Shares. Factors which could increase operating and other expenses include, but are not limited to (1) increases in the rate of inflation, (2) increases in taxes and other statutory charges, (3) changes in laws, regulations or government policies which increase the costs of compliance with such laws, regulations or policies, (4) significant increases in insurance premiums, and (5) increases in borrowing costs.

 

Changes in the economy could have a detrimental impact on our company. Changes in the general economic climate could have a detrimental impact on consumer expenditure and, therefore, on our future revenue, if any. It is possible that recessionary pressures and other economic factors (such as declining incomes, future potential rising interest rates, higher unemployment and tax increases) may adversely affect customers’ confidence and willingness to spend. Any of such events or occurrences could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and on your investment in the Offered Shares.

 

Our lack of adequate directors and officers liability insurance may also make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers. In the future, we may be subject to litigation, including potential class action and stockholder derivative actions. Risks associated with legal liability are difficult to assess and quantify, and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. To date, we have not obtained directors and officers liability (“D&O”) insurance. Without adequate D&O insurance, the amounts we would pay to indemnify our officers and directors, should they be subject to legal action based on their service to our company, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Further, our lack of adequate D&O insurance may make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers, which could adversely affect our business.

 

Our Board of Directors may change our policies without shareholder approval. Our policies, including any policies with respect to investments, leverage, financing, growth, debt and capitalization, will be determined by our Board of Directors or officers to whom our Board of Directors delegates such authority. Our Board of Directors will also establish the amount of any dividends or other distributions that we may pay to our shareholders. Our Board of Directors or officers to which such decisions are delegated will have the ability to amend or revise these and our other policies at any time without shareholder vote. Accordingly, our shareholders will not be entitled to approve changes in our policies, which policy changes may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Risks Related to Our Online Gaming Business

 

Changes in government regulation could adversely affect our business. Changes in the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the Internet, as well as Internet gambling in particular, could result in a decrease in our revenues and an increase in our costs. New laws and regulations may be adopted and existing laws may be applied to the Internet and new forms of electronic commerce. Matters that new and existing laws may address include sales and other taxes, regulations pertaining to online gaming, consumer protection, cross-border commerce, libel and defamation and copyright, trademark and patent infringement.

 

Customer uncertainty and new regulations could increase our costs and prevent us from delivering our services over the Internet. It could also slow the growth of the Internet significantly. This could delay growth in demand for our products and limit the growth of our revenues.

 

Various federal and state laws, including labor laws, govern the Company's relationship with our employees and affect operating costs. These laws may include minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, healthcare reform and the implementation of various federal and state healthcare laws, unemployment tax rates, workers' compensation rates, citizenship requirements, union membership, sales taxes and treatment of independent contractors. A number of factors could adversely affect our operating results, including additional government-imposed increases in minimum wages, overtime pay, paid leaves of absence and mandated health benefits, mandated training for employees, and increased employee litigation including claims relating to the Fair Labor Standards Act.

 

User concerns and government regulations regarding privacy may result in a reduction in our user traffic. Websites often place identifying data, or cookies, on a user’s hard drive without the user’s knowledge or consent. Our company plans to use cookies for a variety of different reasons, including the collection of data derived from the user's Internet activity. Any reduction or limitation in the use of cookies could limit the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts. Most currently available Web browsers allow users to remove cookies at any time or to prevent cookies from being stored on their hard drive. In addition, some privacy advocates and governmental bodies have suggested limiting or eliminating the use of cookies. For example, the European Union and the State of California recently adopted privacy regulations that would limit the collection and use of information regarding Internet users. These efforts will limit our ability to target advertising or collect and use information regarding the use of our website, which would reduce our revenues. Fears relating to a lack of privacy could also result in a reduction in the number of our users.

Table of Contents

 

We may be liable for the content we make available on the Internet. We plan to make content available on our website. The availability of this content could result in claims against us based on a variety of theories, including defamation, negligence, and copyright or trademark infringement. We could also be exposed to liability for third-party content accessed through the links from our sites to other website. We may incur costs to defend ourselves against even baseless claims and our financial condition could be materially adversely affected if we are found liable for information that we make available. Implementing measures to reduce our exposure to this liability may require us to spend substantial resources and limit the attractiveness of our service to users.

 

The technical performance of our website will be critical to our business and to our reputation. The computer systems that will support our Web sites will be acquired and maintained by us at significant expense. We may not be able to successfully design and maintain our systems in the future. We also will license communications infrastructure software. Any system failure, including network, software or hardware failure, that causes an interruption in our service or a decrease in responsiveness of our website, could result in reduced user traffic and reduced revenue. We may experience slower response times and interruptions in service because of equipment or software down time related to the high volume of traffic on our Web sites and our need to deliver frequently updated information to our users. We cannot assure you that we will be able to expand our systems to adequately accommodate our growing user base. We could also be affected by computer viruses, electronic break-ins from unauthorized users, or other similar disruptions or attempts to penetrate our online security systems. Any secure provider system disruption or failure, security breach or other damage that interrupts or delays our operations could harm our reputation and cause us to lose users, advertisers and sponsors and adversely affect our business and operations.

 

Our users will depend on Internet service providers, online service providers and other website operators for access to our website. These providers have had interruptions in their services for hours and, in some cases, days, due to system failures unrelated to our systems. Any future interruptions would be beyond our control to prevent and could harm our reputation and adversely affect our business.

 

We may be unable to protect our intellectual property rights and we may be liable for infringing the intellectual property rights of others. We do not currently maintain patents on our technology and others may be able to develop similar technologies in the future. We regard our copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property that we will develop to be critical to our success. We will rely on trademark and copyright law, trade secret protection and confidentiality and license agreements with our employees, customers, partners and others to protect our intellectual property rights. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties may adversely affect our business and our reputation. It may be possible for third parties to obtain and use our intellectual property without authorization. Furthermore, the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property in Internet-related industries is uncertain and still evolving. Nonetheless, we do not plan to maintain patents on our technology and others may be able to develop similar technologies in the future.

 

We cannot be certain that our offerings will not infringe valid patents, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights held by third parties. We may be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time relating to the intellectual property of others in the ordinary course of our business. Disputes concerning the ownership of rights to use intellectual property could be costly and time consuming to litigate, may distract management from other tasks of operating our business, and may result in our loss of significant rights and the loss of our ability to effectively operate our business.

 

Our business may suffer, if we have difficulty retaining users on our website. Our business and financial results are dependent on our ability to retain users on our website. In any particular month, many of the visitors to our sites may not be registered users and many of our registered users may not visit our sites. We believe that intense competition will cause some of our registered users to seek alternative gaming sites and spend less time on our site. It will be relatively easy for our users to go to competing sites and we cannot be certain that any steps we take will maintain or improve our retention of users, which may result in a negative impact on our revenues.

 

We face risks associated with international operations. Our international business, if and when established, will be subject to a number of risks, including:

 

 

·

linguistic and cultural differences;

 

·

inconsistent regulations and unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

 

·

differing technology standards that would affect the quality of the presentation of our products to our users;

 

·

potentially adverse tax consequences;

 

·

wage and price controls;

 

·

political instability and social unrest;

 

·

uncertain demand for electronic commerce; and

 

·

uncertain protection of our intellectual property rights.

 

We will have no control over many of these matters and any of them may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business internationally.

Table of Contents

 

Currency fluctuations and exchange control regulations may adversely affect our business. Our reporting currency is the United States dollar. Any future customers outside the United States, however, will generally be billed in local currencies. Our accounts receivable from these customers and overhead assets would decline in value if the local currencies depreciate relative to the United States dollar. Although we may enter into hedging transactions, we may not be able to do so effectively. In addition, any currency exchange losses that we suffer may be magnified if we become subject to exchange control regulations restricting our ability to convert local currencies into United States dollars.

 

We operate in a highly competitive environment, and if we are unable to compete with our competitors, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially adversely affected. We operate in a highly competitive environment. Our competition includes all other companies that operate in all facets of the gaming business. This highly competitive environment could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

 

Increased competition could result in lower profit margins, lower advertising or sponsorship rates, loss of visitors or visitors spending less time on our site, reduced page views and loss of market share.

 

Some of our potential competitors, in comparison to us, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition in some markets, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. These competitors may also be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns for their brands and services, adopt more aggressive pricing policies, use superior technology platforms to deliver their products and services and make more attractive offers to potential employees, distribution partners, sponsors, advertisers and third-party content providers.

 

We may not be able to compete successfully with other established companies offering the same or similar services and, as a result, we may not achieve our projected revenue and user targets. If we are unable to compete successfully with other businesses in the gaming industry, we may not achieve our projected revenue and/or customer targets. Compared to our company, many of our competitors can be expected to possess greater financial and other resources, have been in business longer, have greater name recognition and be better established in the gaming industry, which could enable them to compete more effectively in our market.

 

Our competitors may devote their resources to developing and marketing products that will directly compete with our products. Due to this competition, there is no assurance that we will not encounter difficulties in obtaining revenues and market share or in the positioning of our products. There are no assurances that competition in our industry will not lead to reduced prices for our products. If we are unable to compete successfully against existing companies and new entrants, our business and financial condition would be impacted negatively.

 

Technological change and competition may render our products obsolete. The gaming industry and, in particular, the online gaming industry, continues to undergo rapid change, is marked by intense competition, which we expect to increase over time. Competitors may succeed in developing technologies and products that are more effective, attractive or affordable than our products or that would render our products obsolete or non-competitive. Many of our competitors have substantially greater experience, financial and technical resources and production and development capabilities than we do.

 

We are subject to payment processing risk. Our online gaming system relies on customers using credit/debit cards. For the foreseeable future, we intend to rely on third parties to process payment. Acceptance and processing of these payment methods are subject to certain rules and regulations and require payment of interchange and other fees. To the extent there are disruptions in our payment processing systems, our revenue, operating expenses and results of operation could be adversely impacted.

 

Risks Related to Securities Compliance and Regulation

 

We will not have reporting obligations under Sections 14 or 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor will any shareholders have reporting requirements of Regulation 13D or 13G, nor Regulation 14D. So long as our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, our directors and executive officers and beneficial holders of 10% or more of our outstanding common shares will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Such information about our directors, executive officers and beneficial holders will only be available through periodic reports we file with OTC Markets.

Our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act and we do not intend to register our common stock under the Exchange Act for the foreseeable future; provided, however, that we will register our common stock under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of any fiscal year, more than either (1) 2,000 persons; or (2) 500 shareholders of record who are not accredited investors, in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

 

Further, as long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, we will not be subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, which, among other things, prohibits companies that have securities registered under the Exchange Act from soliciting proxies or consents from shareholders without furnishing to shareholders and filing with the SEC a proxy statement and form of proxy complying with the proxy rules.

 

The reporting required by Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act provides information to the public about persons other than the company who is making the tender offer. A tender offer is a broad solicitation by a company or a third party to purchase a substantial percentage of a company’s common stock for a limited period of time. This offer is for a fixed price, usually at a premium over the current market price, and is customarily contingent on shareholders tendering a fixed number of their shares.

 

In addition, as long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, our company will not be subject to the reporting requirements of Regulation 13D and Regulation 13G, which require the disclosure of any person who, after acquiring directly or indirectly the beneficial ownership of any equity securities of a class, becomes, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the class.

 

There may be deficiencies with our internal controls that require improvements. Our company is not required to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. We are in the process of evaluating whether our internal control procedures are effective and, therefore, there is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in our internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such independent evaluations.

 

Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure

 

As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements, including the requirements for independent board members. As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements that an issuer conducting an offering on Form S-1 or listing on a national stock exchange would be. Accordingly, we are not required to have (a) a board of directors of which a majority consists of independent directors under the listing standards of a national stock exchange, (b) an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written audit committee charter meeting a national stock exchange’s requirements, (c) a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written nominating/ corporate governance committee charter meeting a national stock exchange’s requirements, (d) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written compensation committee charter meeting the requirements of a national stock exchange, and (e) independent audits of our internal controls. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of a national stock exchange.

  

Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares

 

The outstanding shares of our Class B Preferred Series preclude current and future owners of our common stock from influencing any corporate decision. Virtual Technology Group, Inc. owns all of the outstanding shares of our Class B Preferred Series. The Class B Preferred Series has the following voting rights: each outstanding share of Class B Preferred Series may vote the equivalent of 1,000 shares of our common stock on all matters submitted to our shareholders. Virtual Technology Group, Inc. will, therefore, be able to control the management and affairs of our company, as well as matters requiring the approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and any other significant corporate transaction. (See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”).

Table of Contents

 

The outstanding shares of our Class B Preferred Series and shares of our Class C Preferred Series represent potential significant future dilution in ownership of our common stock, including the Offered Shares. The outstanding shares of our Class B Preferred Series and shares of our Class C Preferred Series are convertible, at any time, into a total of 900,333,300 shares of our common stock. At such time as these shares of Class B Preferred Series and Class C Preferred Series are converted into shares of common stock, holders of our common stock, including the Offered Shares, will incur significant dilution in their ownership of our company. The effect of the conversion rights of the shares of Class B Preferred Series and Class C Preferred Series is that, upon conversion, the then-holders of the shares of Class B Preferred Series and Class C Preferred Series, as a group, would be issued a number of shares of common stock equal to in excess of 20% of the then-issued-and-outstanding shares of our common stock, as measured after such conversion. We are unable to predict the effect that any such conversion event would have on the market price of our common stock. (See “Dilution—Ownership Dilution”).

 

We have outstanding convertible debt instruments that could negatively affect the market price of our common stock. Certain of our outstanding convertible debt instruments could negatively affect the market price of our common stock, should their respective exercise prices, at the time of exercise, be lower than the then-market price of our common stock. We are unable, however, to predict the actual effect that the conversion of any such convertible debt instruments would have on the market price of our common stock. (See “Description of Securities—Convertible Promissory Notes”).

 

There is no minimum offering and no person has committed to purchase any of the Offered Shares. We have not established a minimum offering hereunder, which means that we will be able to accept even a nominal amount of proceeds, even if such amount of proceeds is not sufficient to permit us to achieve any of our business objectives. In this regard, there is no assurance that we will sell any of the Offered Shares or that we will sell enough of the Offered Shares necessary to achieve any of our business objectives. Additionally, no person is committed to purchase any of the Offered Shares.

 

We may seek additional capital that may result in shareholder dilution or that may have rights senior to those of our common stock. From time to time, we may seek to obtain additional capital, either through equity, equity-linked or debt securities. The decision to obtain additional capital will depend on, among other factors, our business plans, operating performance and condition of the capital markets. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, which could negatively affect the market price of our common stock or cause our shareholders to experience dilution.

 

You may never realize any economic benefit from a purchase of Offered Shares. Because the market for our common stock is volatile, there is no assurance that you will ever realize any economic benefit from your purchase of Offered Shares.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to provide funds for the implementation of our business strategy. We do not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that holders of our common stock will receive cash, stock or other dividends on their shares of our common stock, until we have funds which our Board of Directors determines can be allocated to dividends.

 

Our shares of common stock are Penny Stock, which may impair trading liquidity. Disclosure requirements pertaining to penny stocks may reduce the level of trading activity in the market for our common stock and investors may find it difficult to sell their shares. Trades of our common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the SEC, which rule imposes certain requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The SEC also has rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

Our common stock is thinly traded and its market price may become highly volatile. There is currently only a limited market for our common stock. A limited market is characterized by a relatively limited number of shares in the public float, relatively low trading volume and a small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. The market for low-priced securities is generally less liquid and more volatile than securities traded on national stock markets. Wide fluctuations in market prices are not uncommon. No assurance can be given that the market for our common stock will continue. The price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the following, some of which are beyond our control:

 

 

·

quarterly variations in our operating results;

 

·

operating results that vary from the expectations of investors;

 

·

changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by investors;

 

·

reaction to our periodic filings, or presentations by executives at investor and industry conferences;

 

·

changes in our capital structure;

 

·

announcements of innovations or new services by us or our competitors;

 

·

announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

·

lack of success in the expansion of our business operations;

 

·

announcements by third parties of significant claims or proceedings against our company or adverse developments in pending proceedings;

 

·

additions or departures of key personnel;

 

·

asset impairment;

 

·

temporary or permanent inability to offer our products and services; and

 

·

rumors or public speculation about any of the above factors.

 

The terms of this offering were determined arbitrarily. The terms of this offering were determined arbitrarily by us. The offering price for the Offered Shares does not necessarily bear any relationship to our company’s assets, book value, earnings or other established criteria of valuation. Accordingly, the offering price of the Offered Shares should not be considered as an indication of any intrinsic value of such securities. (See “Dilution”).

 

Our common stock is subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our company’s competitors or our company itself. In addition, the over-the-counter stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations in general. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.

 

You will suffer dilution in the net tangible book value of the Offered Shares you purchase in this offering. If you acquire any Offered Shares, you will suffer immediate dilution, due to the lower book value per share of our common stock compared to the purchase price of the Offered Shares in this offering. (See “Dilution”).

 

As an issuer of penny stock, the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us. Although federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial condition.

DILUTION

 

Ownership Dilution

 

The information under “Investment Dilution” below does not take into account the potential conversion of the outstanding shares of Class B Preferred Series and shares of Class C Preferred Series into a total of 900,333,300 shares of our common stock. The shares of Class B Preferred Series and shares of Class C Preferred Series are convertible at anytime, at the election of their respective holders. The conversion of such shares of Class B Preferred Series and shares of Class C Preferred Series into shares of our common stock would cause holders of our common stock, including the Offered Shares, to incur significant dilution in their ownership of our company. (See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares,” “Description of Securities” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”).

 

Investment Dilution

 

Dilution in net tangible book value per share to purchasers of our common stock in this offering represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of the Offered Shares in this offering and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. In this offering, dilution is attributable primarily to our negative net tangible book value per share.

 

If you purchase Offered Shares in this offering, your investment will be diluted to the extent of the difference between your purchase price per Offered Share and the net tangible book value of our common stock after this offering. Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2022, was $(16,980,273) (unaudited), or $(0.007) per share. Net tangible book value per share is equal to total assets minus the sum of total liabilities and intangible assets divided by the total number of shares outstanding.

We reserve the right to change the foregoing use of proceeds, should our management believe it to be in the best interest of our company. The allocations of the proceeds of this offering presented above constitute the current estimates of our management and are based on our current plans, assumptions made with respect to the industry in which we operate, general economic conditions and our future revenue and expenditure estimates.

 

Investors are cautioned that expenditures may vary substantially from the estimates presented above. Investors must rely on the judgment of our management, who will have broad discretion regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including market conditions, cash generated by our operations (if any), business developments and the rate of our growth. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds of this offering for other purposes.

 

In the event we do not obtain the entire offering amount hereunder, we may attempt to obtain additional funds through private offerings of our securities or by borrowing funds. Currently, we do not have any committed sources of financing.

State Law Exemption.

Dividend Policy

 

                We have never declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Shareholder Meetings

 

                Our bylaws provide that special meetings of shareholders may be called only by our Board of Directors, the chairman of the board, or our president, or as otherwise provided under Nevada law.

 

Transfer Agent

 

                We have retained the services of Empire Stock Transfer Inc., 1859 Whitney Mesa Drive, Henderson, Nevada 89014, as the transfer agent for our common stock. Empire Stock Transfer’s website is located at: www.empirestock.com. No information found on Empire Stock Transfer’s website is part of this Offering Circular.

 

BUSINESS

 

Background

 

                Our company, Elray Resources, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 13, 2006.

 

                In 2011, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Splitrock Agreement”), as amended, with Splitrock Ventures (BVI) Limited (“Splitrock”), a company engaged in the online gaming business, pursuant to which we acquired gaming intellectual property, gaming domains, trademarks and player databases. In conjunction with the Splitrock Agreement, our current Chief Executive Officer, Anthony B. Goodman, Donald Radcliffe and Roy Sugarman were elected as our new Board of Directors. Messrs. Radcliffe and Sugarman have since resigned. Our strategy is to provide online gaming to players in markets where such activities are legal.

Table of Contents

 

                In January 2014, we entered into a Know-How and Asset Purchase Agreement, with Virtual Technology Group, LLC and Gold Globe Investments Limited, both companies being engaged in the development of web technology, including a virtual exchange platform that facilitates trading of virtual items and casino credits. We acquired these assets in an effort to continue to build and support our marketing and support business for online casinos and social games.

 

                In August 2016, we entered into a Strategic Partnership Agreement with Articulate Pty Ltd (“Articulate”), a company controlled by our Chief Executive Officer, Andrew B. Goodman. Pursuant to this agreement, we agreed to provide online intellectual property that includes CRM systems, payment gateway system and back office marketing systems and Articulate agreed to provide online gaming support and marketing services to our company.

 

                Since 2017, our business operations have dwindled to the point where they do not currently generate revenues. With the proceeds of this offering, if any, we intend to re-establish our online gaming business.

 

                Our principal executive offices are located at 3651 Lindell Road, Suite D131, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103 3651 Lindell Road, Suite D131, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103; our telephone number is 702-318-7548; our corporate website is located at www.elraygaming.com. No information found on our company’s website is part of this Offering Circular.

 

About Our Online Gaming Technology

 

                Since 2011, we have developed and acquired unique valuable technology that provides state of the art turnkey, marketing tools and CRM systems for online gaming operators.

 

                We are a United States-based company with a global presence in London, South Africa and Sydney, homes of the largest gaming operators. Our technologies are designed to manage and serve such gaming operations. For example, our sophisticated software automatically declines any gaming requests from within illegal gaming jurisdictions, including, but not limited to, the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, United Kingdom, France, Italy and Israel, and prevents any access to the products that our company supports from any of these jurisdictions, thus ensuring that residents of these countries are unable to participate.

 

Competition

 

                Our primary competition is expected from overseas based online gaming technology companies. With few exceptions, significant listed gaming companies (many of which are listed on the London Stock Exchange) operate using their own software. As an independent online gaming technology provider, we believe that we retain the ability to utilize the most profitable platform available and are not restricted to a single platform. Additionally, by ensuring that we operate in compliance with U.S. laws, we believe that in the event of legalized gaming in the U.S., we would not be precluded from taking advantage of U.S.-based gaming.

 

                We operate in a highly competitive environment. Our competition includes all other companies that operate in all facets of the gaming business. This highly competitive environment could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

 

                Increased competition could result in lower profit margins, lower advertising or sponsorship rates, loss of visitors or visitors spending less time on our site, reduced page views and loss of market share.

 

                Some of our potential competitors, in comparison to us, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition in some markets, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. These competitors may also be able to undertake more extensive marketing campaigns for their brands and services, adopt more aggressive pricing policies, use superior technology platforms to deliver their products and services and make more attractive offers to potential employees, distribution partners, sponsors, advertisers and third-party content providers.

 

Government Regulation

 

                Our sophisticated software systems automatically declines and denies any gaming requests from within illegal gaming jurisdictions including but not limited to the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, United Kingdom, France, Italy and Israel and prevents any access to the products that we support from any of these jurisdictions ensuring that residents of these countries cannot participate and are in strict compliance with the laws of these countries. Our Sydney office allows us to tap into skilled resources and some of the world's largest client base, for regular, personal interaction.

 

                We are required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to online gaming. Regulations relating to online gaming vary significantly in different jurisdictions. Various sophisticated methods are utilized prior to acceptance of deposits to ensure that funds are only accepted from gamers in jurisdictions in which we are legally entitled to provide services.

 

 
23

Table of Contents

 

                The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (“UIGEA”) became United States law in late 2006 and effectively curtailed legal participation by U.S. players in online gambling. The UIGEA prevents financial transactions related to online gaming in the U.S. Players in the U.S. are currently legally precluded from participating in online gambling. Our online gaming products are not available to U.S. players and also not available to residents of Hong Kong, among other jurisdictions.

 

                Currently, online gaming, in all of its iterations, is in a state of expansion in the United States. However, online gaming is not yet legal in the United States. However, once legalized, we believe that we will be well positioned to make our online gaming immediately available to U.S. online players.

 

Intellectual Property

 

                In General. We regard our rights to intellectual property pertaining to our business know-how as having significant value and as being an important factor in the marketing of our products. Our policy is to establish, enforce and protect our intellectual property rights using the intellectual property laws.

 

                Patents. Currently, we own no interest in any patent or patent application. Due to such lack of patent protection, our company may be unable to defend our rights to such intellectual property. (See “Risk Factors”).

 

                Trademarks. We are the owner of several trademarks. It is expected that, in the future, filings for the registration of these trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will be made.

 

Properties

 

                We own now real property. We lease a small office space for our corporate office.

 

Employees

 

                As of the date of this report, we have no employees other than our executive officers. We currently conduct our business using the services of consultants and outside contractors. We do not expect to have any material change in the number of employees over the next 12 months, unless we are successful in obtaining capital, including in this offering.

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Cautionary Statement

 

                The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes, beginning on page F-1 of this Offering Circular.

 

                Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the following discussion, as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those described under Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors. We assume no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements included herein.

 

COVID-19

 

                On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. The virus and actions taken to mitigate its spread have had and are expected to continue to have a broad adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical areas in which our company operates. The COVID-19 pandemic has, to date, had minimal impact on our operations.

Results of Operations

 

                Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 (“Interim 2022”) and 2021 (“Interim 2021”). During Interim 2022 and Interim 2021, our business operations generated no revenue. We expect to incur operating losses through at least the first half of 2023. Further, because of our current lack of growth capital and the uncertainty of our obtaining needed capital, we are unable to predict the levels of our future revenues, if any.

 

                During Interim 2022, we incurred operating expenses of $1,496 (unaudited), which were comprised exclusively of general and administrative expenses. In addition, we had interest expense of $181,531 (unaudited) and unrealized loss on derivative liability of $164,848 (unaudited). Our net loss for Interim 2022 was $(347,875) (unaudited).

 

                During Interim 2021, we incurred operating expenses of $522 (unaudited), which were comprised exclusively of general and administrative expenses. In addition, we had interest expense of $182,014 (unaudited) and unrealized loss on derivative liability of $608,728 (unaudited). Our net loss for Interim 2021 was $(791,264) (unaudited).

 

                Years Ended December 31, 2021 (“Fiscal 2021”) and 2020 (“Fiscal 2020”). During Fiscal 2021 and 2020, our business operations generated no revenues.

 

                During Fiscal 2021, we incurred operating expenses of $22,785 (unaudited), which were comprised exclusively of general and administrative expenses. In addition, we had interest expense of $737,363 (unaudited) and unrealized loss on derivative liability of $331,677 (unaudited). Our net loss for Fiscal 2021 was $(1,091,825) (unaudited).

 

                During Fiscal 2020, we incurred operating expenses of $3,879 (unaudited), which were comprised exclusively of general and administrative expenses. In addition, we had interest expense of $740,190 (unaudited) and unrealized loss on derivative liability of $690,235 (unaudited). Our net loss for Fiscal 2020 was $(1,434,304) (unaudited).

 

Plan of Operation

 

                We believe that the proceeds of this offering will satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

 

                Software Update. Should we derived at least $100,000 in proceeds in this offering, we will be able to complete the ongoing update of our online gaming software.

 

                Re-establish Prior Operations. A majority of the proceeds derived in this offering will be applied to our efforts in re-establishing our prior online gaming business, which, since 2017, has fallen to a zero-revenue state. To achieve such objective, we intend to devote significant available capital to our marketing efforts in international markets where online gaming is legal. In support of such marketing strategies, we intend to expand the capacities of our operating platform and assure its ability to scale as necessary to meet expected increased usage rates.

 

                We continue to believe that we will be able to place our online gaming products in a superior position for success, at such time as online gaming is legalized in the United States. However, there is no assurance that such will be the case.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

                March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022, our company had $5,014 (unaudited) in cash and had a working capital deficit of $16,980,273 (unaudited), compared to $15,262 (unaudited) in cash and a working capital deficit of $16,632,398 (unaudited) at December 31, 2021.

 

                Our company’s current cash position of approximately $5,000 is not adequate for our company to maintain its present level of operations through the remainder of 2022. We must obtain additional capital from third parties, including in this offering, to implement our full business plans. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such additional capital.

 

                Convertible Promissory Notes.

 

                As of March 31, 2022, we had outstanding a total of twelve separate convertible promissory notes. The table below sets forth information with respect to such convertible promissory notes.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, based on voting or investment power with respect to the securities.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

Derivatives are measured at their fair value on the balance sheet. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Changes in fair value are recorded in the statements of operations.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

 

·

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

·

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

·

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

Our financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable – related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, short term debt payable, convertible notes payable, advances from shareholders, and derivative liabilities. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature except for derivative liabilities. The derivative liabilities are stated at their fair value as a level 3 measurement.

 

Revenues

 

Prior to January 1, 2018, revenues were recognized when the four basic criteria for recognition were met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) consideration is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company adopted new accounting guidance for revenue recognition effective January 1, 2018 which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

 
F-6

Table of Contents

 

Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company analyzes contracts to determine the appropriate revenue recognition using the following steps: (i) identification of contracts with customers; (ii) identification of distinct performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of contract transaction price; (iv) allocation of contract transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) determination of revenue recognition based on timing of satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenues upon the satisfaction of its performance obligations (upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers) in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

The Company currently has no revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. On December 22, 2017, new federal tax reform legislation was enacted in the United States (the “2017 Tax Act”), resulting in significant changes from previous tax law. The 2017 Tax Act reduces the federal corporate income tax rate to a flat 21% effective January 1, 2018.

 

Tax benefits are initially recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are initially, and subsequently, measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. No deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carry forward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.

 

Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic net earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of outstanding convertible securities and preferred stock is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the if-converted method.

 

As of March 31, 2022, the potentially diluted loss per share excludes notes convertible to 3,399,149,706 shares of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock convertible to 2,125 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Elray evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued for disclosure purposes.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

 

Elray’s management does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Elray have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company sustained a loss of $347,875 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The factor raises substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for Elray to continue as a going concern. Elray's management plans on raising cash from public or private debt, on an as needed basis, and in the longer term, revenues from the gambling business. Elray's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on these additional cash financings, and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations through the development of its gambling business.

 

NOTE 3 – SHORT-TERM DEBT

 

On December 20, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Tarpon Bay Partners LLC (“Tarpon”) whereby Tarpon acquired certain notes and accounts payable against the Company in the amount of $2,656,214. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company and Tarpon submitted the settlement agreement to the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit, Leon County, Florida for a hearing on the fairness of the agreement and the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 for the shares that will be issued to Tarpon for resale (“Settlement Shares”). 75% of the proceeds less all applicable fees and charges from the resale of the Settlement Shares will be remitted to the original claim holders of the Company (“Remittance Amount”). The Company agreed to issue sufficient shares to generate proceeds such that the aggregate Remittance Amount equals $2,656,214. The settlement agreement was effective on January 27, 2014 when the court granted approval.

 

On May 17, 2018, the Company entered into a cancellation and release agreement with Tarpon. Pursuant to the agreement, the outstanding balance of the original notes and accounts payable of the Company shall continue to be an obligation of the Company. The Company reclassified $1,689,905 of the outstanding settlement payable to short-term debt and $472,254 of the outstanding settlement payable to accounts payable.

 

GSM Fund Management LLC

 

On January 30, 2015, the Company entered into an assignment and modification agreement to assign $62,500 of the convertible promissory note of VTG dated January 23, 2014 to GSM Fund Management LLC (“GSM”). The note bears interest at 12% and matured on January 30, 2016. GSM has the right after a period of 180 days to convert the balance outstanding into the Company’s common stock at a rate equal to 50% of the lowest closing bid price in the 15 trading days prior to the conversion date. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $52,364 related to the exchange. On April 9, 2018, the Company issued 150,221,707 shares of common stock for the conversion of this note in the amount of $7,511.

 

On July 23, 2021, the Company, Pursuant to Chapter 104 - Uniform Commercial Code—Original Articles, NRS 104.3603 - Tender of payment. NV Rev Stat § 104.3603 (2013) and other applicable law, issued a Notice of Tender to GSM Fund Management LLC by a registered letter. The Company tendered full payment for the then outstanding balance of the Note, in the amount of $37,297. Such tender of payment by the Company to GSM Fund Management LLC was in full discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Note. The registered letter was received by the counter party on August 3, 2021, but the Company did not receive any responses from GSM Fund Management LLC. As per the statue, the Company has decided to cease to incur penalty interest on the date the letter was received by GSM Fund Management LLC and will move from convertible liability to a short-term debt and be a fixed amount going forward. As of March 31, 2022, balance of the debt was $37,361.

Loans from shareholders

 

On September 5, 2008, Elmside Pty Ltd, a company related to a former director, agreed to an interest free loan of $55,991 to the Company on an as-needed basis to fund the business operations and expenses of the Company until December 9, 2011, the due date of the loan. The note is in default.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES – NOTE CONVERSION FEATURE

 

Due to the conversion features contained in the convertible notes issued, the actual number of shares of common stock that would be required if a conversion of the note as further described in Note 4 was made through the issuance of the Company’s common stock cannot be predicted, and the Company could be required to issue an amount of shares that may cause it to exceed its authorized share amount. As a result, the conversion feature requires derivative accounting treatment and will be bifurcated from the note and “marked to market” each reporting period through the income statement. The fair value of the conversion future of these notes was recognized as a derivative liability instrument and will be measured at fair value at each reporting period.

 

The Company remeasured the fair value of the instrument as of March 31, 2022, and recorded a loss of $164,848 for the period ended March 31, 2022. The Company determined the fair values of these liabilities using a Black-Scholes valuation model.

 

On July 23, 2021, the Company, Pursuant to Chapter 104 - Uniform Commercial Code—Original Articles, NRS 104.3603 - Tender of payment. NV Rev Stat § 104.3603 (2013) and other applicable law, issued a Notice of Tender to GSM Fund Management LLC by a registered letter. The Company tendered full payment for the then outstanding balance of the Note, in the amount of $37,297. Such tender of payment by the Company to GSM Fund Management LLC was in full discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Note. The registered letter was received by the counter party on August 3, 2021, but the Company did not receive any responses from GSM Fund Management LLC. As per the statue, the Company has decided to cease to incur penalty interest on the date the letter was received by GSM Fund Management LLC and will move from convertible liability to a short-term debt and be a fixed amount going forward. As such the derivative liability of $21,221 was settled.

ELRAY RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Elray Resources, Inc. ("Elray" or the "Company"), a Nevada Company formed on December 13, 2006, has been providing marketing and support for online gaming operations. The Company maintains its administrative office in Australia and its gaming operations is currently targeting the Asian market.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Elray have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

Derivatives are measured at their fair value on the balance sheet. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Changes in fair value are recorded in the statements of operations.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

 

·

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

·

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

·

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

Our financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable – related parties, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, short term debt payable, convertible notes payable, advances from shareholders, and derivative liabilities. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature except for derivative liabilities. The derivative liabilities are stated at their fair value as a level 3 measurement.

 

Revenues

 

Prior to January 1, 2018, revenues were recognized when the four basic criteria for recognition were met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) consideration is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company adopted new accounting guidance for revenue recognition effective January 1, 2018 which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company analyzes contracts to determine the appropriate revenue recognition using the following steps: (i) identification of contracts with customers; (ii) identification of distinct performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determination of contract transaction price; (iv) allocation of contract transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) determination of revenue recognition based on timing of satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenues upon the satisfaction of its performance obligations (upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers) in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company currently has no revenues during the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. On December 22, 2017, new federal tax reform legislation was enacted in the United States (the “2017 Tax Act”), resulting in significant changes from previous tax law. The 2017 Tax Act reduces the federal corporate income tax rate to a flat 21% effective January 1, 2018.

 

Tax benefits are initially recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are initially, and subsequently, measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. No deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carry forward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.

 

Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic net earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of outstanding convertible securities and preferred stock is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the if-converted method.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the annual potentially diluted loss per share excludes notes convertible to 2,854,489,567 shares of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock convertible to 2,125 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Elray evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued for disclosure purposes.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

 

Elray’s management does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Elray have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company sustained a loss of $1,091,825 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The factor raises substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for Elray to continue as a going concern. Elray's management plans on raising cash from public or private debt, on an as needed basis, and in the longer term, revenues from the gambling business. Elray's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on these additional cash financings, and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations through the development of its gambling business.

 

NOTE 3 – SHORT-TERM DEBT

 

On December 20, 2013, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Tarpon Bay Partners LLC (“Tarpon”) whereby Tarpon acquired certain notes and accounts payable against the Company in the amount of $2,656,214. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company and Tarpon submitted the settlement agreement to the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit, Leon County, Florida for a hearing on the fairness of the agreement and the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 for the shares that will be issued to Tarpon for resale (“Settlement Shares”). 75% of the proceeds less all applicable fees and charges from the resale of the Settlement Shares will be remitted to the original claim holders of the Company (“Remittance Amount”). The Company agreed to issue sufficient shares to generate proceeds such that the aggregate Remittance Amount equals $2,656,214. The settlement agreement was effective on January 27, 2014 when the court granted approval.

 

On May 17, 2018, the Company entered into a cancellation and release agreement with Tarpon. Pursuant to the agreement, the outstanding balance of the original notes and accounts payable of the Company shall continue to be an obligation of the Company. The Company reclassified $1,689,905 of the outstanding settlement payable to short-term debt and $472,254 of the outstanding settlement payable to accounts payable.

On January 30, 2015, the Company entered into an assignment and modification agreement to assign $62,500 of the convertible promissory note of VTG dated January 23, 2014 to GSM Fund Management LLC (“GSM”).

GSM has the right after a period of 180 days to convert the balance outstanding into the Company’s common stock at a rate equal to 50% of the lowest closing bid price in the 15 trading days prior to the conversion date. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $52,364 related to the exchange. On April 9, 2018, the Company issued 150,221,707 shares of common stock for the conversion of this note in the amount of $7,511.

 

On July 23, 2021, the Company, Pursuant to Chapter 104 - Uniform Commercial Code—Original Articles, NRS 104.3603 - Tender of payment. NV Rev Stat § 104.3603 (2013) and other applicable law, issued a Notice of Tender to GSM Fund Management LLC by a registered letter. The Company tendered full payment for the then outstanding balance of the Note, in the amount of $37,297. Such tender of payment by the Company to GSM Fund Management LLC was in full discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Note. The registered letter was received by the counter party on August 3, 2021, but the Company did not receive any responses from GSM Fund Management LLC. As per the statue, the Company has decided to cease to incur penalty interest on the date the letter was received by GSM Fund Management LLC and will move from convertible liability to a short-term debt and be a fixed amount going forward. As of December 31, 2021, balance of the debt was $37,361.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES – NOTE CONVERSION FEATURE

 

Due to the conversion features contained in the convertible notes issued, the actual number of shares of common stock that would be required if a conversion of the note as further described in Note 4 was made through the issuance of the Company’s common stock cannot be predicted, and the Company could be required to issue an amount of shares that may cause it to exceed its authorized share amount. As a result, the conversion feature requires derivative accounting treatment and will be bifurcated from the note and “marked to market” each reporting period through the income statement. The fair value of the conversion future of these notes was recognized as a derivative liability instrument and will be measured at fair value at each reporting period.

 

The Company remeasured the fair value of the instrument as of December 31, 2021, and recorded a loss of $331,677 for the period ended December 31, 2021. The Company determined the fair values of these liabilities using a Black-Scholes valuation model.

 

On July 23, 2021, the Company, Pursuant to Chapter 104 - Uniform Commercial Code—Original Articles, NRS 104.3603 - Tender of payment. NV Rev Stat § 104.3603 (2013) and other applicable law, issued a Notice of Tender to GSM Fund Management LLC by a registered letter. The Company tendered full payment for the then outstanding balance of the Note, in the amount of $37,297. Such tender of payment by the Company to GSM Fund Management LLC was in full discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Note. The registered letter was received by the counter party on August 3, 2021, but the Company did not receive any responses from GSM Fund Management LLC. As per the statue, the Company has decided to cease to incur penalty interest on the date the letter was received by GSM Fund Management LLC and will move from convertible liability to a short-term debt and be a fixed amount going forward. As such the derivative liability of $21,221 was settled.
