NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2025 and the results of its operations for the three months then ended. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any other interim period or for any other future year. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report within its Form 10-K filing. Interim disclosures generally do not repeat those in the annual statements. The Company and its subsidiaries operate as a single operating segment.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity-based transactions and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates, which may cause the Company’s future results to be affected.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $3,175,000 of cash in a sweep account, which is classified as cash. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Trade accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company estimates the credit losses using historical information, current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecast information for a reasonable period of time. The Company starts by determining expected credit losses by using historical loss information based on the aging of receivables. An analysis of the current economic conditions along with forecast information is then used to determine any adjustment to the historical loss rates to determine the appropriate rates for future losses and the Company’s current expected credit losses for trade receivables. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no accounts receivable balances. As such, an allowance was not necessary.

Offering Costs

Offering costs represent legal, accounting and other direct costs related to the IPO, which closed on March 7, 2025. Prior to the close of the IPO, these costs were recognized as deferred offering costs. These offering costs were reclassified to additional paid-in capital from deferred offering costs. These amounts are shown, along with underwriters’ fees paid, net against IPO proceeds received. The Company recorded $0 and $1,219,176 of deferred offering costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred a total of $131,922 and $121,279, respectively, in additional deferred offering costs in connection with the offering of equity securities. As of March 31, 2025, a total of $1,351,098 was reclassified from deferred offering costs to offering costs. Of this amount, $1,236,099 is recorded as offering costs and the remaining $115,000 was paid directly from the IPO proceeds and included in the offering costs which are netted against the IPO proceeds on the condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit).

Further, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, additional offering costs of $1,252,780 were incurred simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. Of this amount, $190,980 is recorded as offering costs and the remaining $1,061,800 is displayed as a net amount against the IPO and over-allotment option proceeds on the condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit).

Subscription Receivable

The Company records share issuances at the effective date. If the subscription is not funded upon issuance, the Company records a subscription receivable as an asset on a balance sheet. When subscription receivables are not received prior to the issuance of financial statements at a reporting date in satisfaction of the requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 505-10-45-2, “Equity” — Other Presentation Matters, the subscription receivable is reclassified as a contra account to stockholders’ equity (deficit) on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Employee Retention Tax Credit

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) provided an employee retention credit which was a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The Consolidated Appropriations Act (the “Appropriations Act”) extended and expanded the availability of the employee retention credit through December 31, 2021. The Appropriations Act amended the employee retention credit to be equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during the 2021 fiscal year. The Company qualified for the employee retention credit beginning in October 2021 for qualified wages through December 2021 and filed a cash refund claim during year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company has a tax credit receivable of $34,667 included as an other receivable in the current assets section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was exposed to significant risks in two of its bank accounts, which had balances that exceeded the insurance coverage amount by a total of $3,208,017. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.  

Advertising and Marketing

The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as they are incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses were $81,450 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

As defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, fair value is 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 (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). This fair value measurement framework applies at both initial and subsequent measurement.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and borrowings, approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

The Company measures its stock-based compensation liability at fair value on a recurring basis. Please refer to Note 9 for a discussion on fair value measurements.

Equity Awards with a Guaranteed Minimum-Value Cash Settlement - Technology Purchase Agreements

The Company evaluates its stock-based compensation arrangements within the scope of ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”. The Company has issued an equity award with a guaranteed minimum-value cash settlement in accordance with the terms that were agreed upon by the Company in the Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) with Artemis Ave LLC (“Artemis”) and the Software as a Service Agreement (the “SaaS” Agreement) with EVEMeta, LLC (“EVEMeta”). Subsection ASC 718-10-20 defines these equity awards as combination awards. Under this classification, the share grant is accounted for as an equity-classified award measured at grant-date fair value, and the cash-settled written put option is liability classified and marked to fair value at each reporting period. Compensation costs for the share grant is measured and fixed on the date of grant and recognized over the vesting period, which is consistent with the delivery of goods and services. Compensation costs associated with the cash-settled written put option should be recognized over the vesting period based on the remeasured fair value at each reporting period, which is consistent with the delivery of goods and services from the vendor, until settlement. To value the cash-settled written put option, the Company remeasures the fair market value of the written put option via an appropriate option pricing model in accordance with ASC 718, and records the appropriate liability as of each reporting period with a corresponding adjustment to software expense. The Company determines the fair value of the liability using a Monte Carlo simulation model at each reporting period. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value measurement of the cash-settled written put option for services provided thus far resulted in a stock-based compensation liability of $44,392. Please refer to Notes 4 and 5 for a detailed explanation of the terms of the technology purchase agreements.

Cloud Computing Arrangements - Technology Purchase Agreements

The Company applies the guidance under ASC 350-40, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software”, when evaluating the applicable accounting treatment for the purchase of technological products and services. The Company has determined that the MSA with Artemis and the SaaS agreement with EVEMeta constitute a cloud computing arrangement (“CCA”). The terms of the agreements provide for software development, which include CCA implementation costs, support and maintenance services, and the use of the EVEMeta compression software. The Company accounts for the CCA implementation costs in a different manner than the support and maintenance services from the Artemis agreement and the terms of the SaaS agreement with EVEMeta.

The Company capitalizes implementation costs associated with its CCA consistent with costs capitalized for internal-use software. The stock-based payments provided in advance for implementation costs are recorded as capitalized implementation costs as the services are rendered. Capitalized implementation costs related to the CCA are included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The CCA implementation costs are amortized over the term of the related hosting agreement, including renewal periods that are reasonably certain to be exercised. Amortization will begin only when the software is placed into use and the amortization expense will be recorded as an operating expense. As of December 31, 2024, $63 was recognized as a non-current prepaid expense asset related to the development services to be provided by Artemis. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $160,340 and $0 was recognized, respectively, as capitalized implementation costs related to the Company’s cloud computing arrangements and no amortization expense has been recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024 as the software is in the process of being developed by Artemis. The amount of $160,340 is a recognition of $125,000 for services provided, which included the reclassification of the $63 recorded as a non-current prepaid expense asset as of December 31, 2024, and a portion of the change in fair value of the stock-based compensation liability which equaled $35,340 during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The costs associated with the support and maintenance services and the use of the EVEMeta compression software are recorded as software expenses over the service period defined in the respective agreements. As of December 31, 2024, $62 was recognized as a non-current prepaid expense asset related to the services by Artemis and EVEMeta for support and maintenance. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded software expenses of $39,772 in connection with the services rendered with the support and maintenance services and the use of the EVEMeta compression software, which included the expensing of the $62 recorded as a non-current prepaid expense asset as of December 31, 2024.

Convertible Debt

The Company accounts for convertible debt instruments in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. Under this guidance, convertible debt instruments that do not meet the criteria for separation of embedded conversion features from the host contract are accounted for as a single liability. If a convertible debt instrument contains embedded features (e.g., conversion options, redemption rights) that require separate accounting under ASC 815, the Company evaluates such features and bifurcates them as derivative liabilities when applicable. Issuance costs related to convertible debt are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the liability and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.

Shares Payable

The Company has incurred obligations that are payable in shares of the Company’s equity. If shares are not issued to satisfy those obligations, a short-term liability is recognized as a share payable. The Company has a share payable balance of $213,934 and $32,500 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Please refer to Notes 6 and 10 for more detail.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products and services in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue Recognition” following the five step procedure:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with customers

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations

Step 5: Recognize revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied

The Company generates revenues mainly from advertising, sponsorship and league tournaments. An insignificant amount of revenue is generated through the operation of its live streaming platform using a revenue model whereby gamers and creators can get free access to certain live streaming of amateur tournaments, and gamers and creators pay fees or subscriptions to compete in league competitions. Streaming revenue amounts are recognized as live-streaming services on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Foreign Currency Translation

For the Company’s non-U.S. operations where the functional currency is the local currency, the Company translates assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and record translation adjustments in stockholders’ equity. The Company translates income statement amounts at average rates for the period. Transaction gains and losses are recorded in other (income) expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Comprehensive Loss

The Company reports comprehensive loss and its components in its condensed consolidated financial statements. Comprehensive loss consists of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments, affecting stockholders’ equity (deficit) that, under U.S, GAAP, is excluded from net loss.

Net Loss per Common Share

The computation of earnings per share (“EPS”) includes basic and diluted EPS in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic EPS is measured as the income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution, using the if-converted and treasury stock methods, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the income (loss) of the Company as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. In computing diluted income (loss) per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding options and warrants have been exercised, and the proceeds have been used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. All outstanding convertible promissory notes are considered common stock at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. Since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, the shares issuable upon conversion have been excluded from the Company’s computation of net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

The following table summarizes the securities that are excluded from the diluted per share calculation because the effect of including these potential shares is anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss. In accordance with the Reverse Stock Split on October 11, 2024, the number of shares of common stock underlying the Convertible Debt, the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock, Warrants, Shares Payable and Unvested Restricted Stock are now 1 for 2.43615, and the below information gives effect to the Reverse Stock Split:

As of March 31, 2025, no dividends have been declared since inception and all classes of BHHI’s stock do not have cumulative dividend features. As such, the Company did not include any adjustment to the net loss for dividends. Ultimately, there was no adjustment needed to determine dilutive loss per share and only basic loss per share was calculated.

The table below represents the calculation for both basic and diluted net loss per share (as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split):

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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 Company’s temporary differences result primarily from capitalization of certain qualifying research and development expenses, stock-based compensation, and net operating loss carryovers. 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. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% of likely being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company, with stockholder’s consent, elected to be taxed as an “S-Corporation” during the years prior to 2021 under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code under Section 1362(a) and comparable state income tax law. As an S-Corporation, the Company is generally not subject to corporate income taxes and the Company’s net income or loss is reported on the individual tax return of the stockholders of the Company. As a result of the UK Reorganization, the Company was no longer eligible to elect an S-Corporation status for tax purposes and was subject to tax filings as a C-Corporation for the years ending 2021 through 2023. The Company is in the process of filing all necessary Federal and State tax returns as a C-Corporation for the years ending 2021 through 2024, and has accrued $95,000 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 for any potential non-compliance penalties that may be incurred as a selling, general and administrative expense.    

The Company identified its federal, New York state, and United Kingdom tax returns as its “major” tax jurisdictions. The period for income tax returns that are subject to examination for the United Kingdom jurisdiction is 2021. All other periods for income tax returns are subject to examination for the federal and New York state jurisdictions. The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit, and management does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no liabilities for uncertain tax positions have been recorded.

At March 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $10,279,894 in gross federal net operating loss carry-forwards. The Company also had approximately $11,940,453 in gross state net operating loss carry-forwards. As a result of the Tax Cuts Job Act 2017 (the “Act”), certain future federal carry-forwards do not expire. Beginning in 2018, under the TCJ Act, federal loss carryforwards have an unlimited carryforward period, however such losses can only offset 80% of taxable income in any one year. The Company has not performed a formal analysis, but believes its ability to use such net operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards in the future is subject to annual limitations due to change of control provisions under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, which will significantly impact its ability to realize these deferred tax assets. For net loss carryforwards in the State of New York, the Company is able to carry it back three tax years preceding the tax year of the loss (the loss year). However, a loss cannot be carried back to a tax year beginning before January 1, 2015. The loss is first carried to the earliest of the three tax years. If it is not entirely used in that year, the remainder is carried to the second tax year preceding the loss year, and any remaining amount is carried to the tax year immediately preceding the loss year. Any unused amount of loss then remaining may be carried forward for as many as 20 tax years following the loss year. Losses carried forward are carried forward first to the tax year immediately following the loss year, then to the second tax year following the loss year, and then to the next immediately subsequent tax year or years until the loss is used up or the 20th tax year following the loss year, whichever comes first

The Company recorded a valuation allowance in the full amount of its net deferred tax assets since realization of such tax benefits has been determined by the Company’s management to be less likely than not. The valuation allowance increased $111,930 during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

The Company’s effective tax rate is 0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Stock-Based Compensation - Restricted Stock Agreements

The Company measures and records the expense related to stock-based payment awards based on the fair value of those awards as determined on the date of grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the grant, generally equal to the vesting period, and uses the straight-line method to recognize stock-based compensation. For stock options with performance conditions, the Company records compensation expense when it is deemed probable that the performance condition will be met. Companies typically use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock awards. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, which determine the fair value of stock- based awards, including the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock. No stock options have been issued by the Company through March 31, 2025. The Company issued 44,250 warrant shares to the underwriter in connection with the IPO as of March 31, 2025. Please refer to Notes 1 and 5 for more information on the Underwriter Warrants. Restricted stock awards are valued based on the fair value on the date of grant and amortized ratably over the estimated life of the award. Restricted stock may vest based on the passage of time, or upon occurrence of a specific event or achievement of goals as defined in the grant agreements. In such cases, the Company records compensation expenses related to grants of restricted stock based on management’s estimates of the probable dates of the vesting events. The Company recognizes forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.

Recently Issued but not yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements 

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). This ASU requires the use of consistent categories and greater disaggregation in tax rate reconciliations and income taxes paid disclosures. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and for interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2025. These income tax disclosure requirements can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard, and do not expect it to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In March 2024, the SEC issued its final climate disclosure rules, which require the disclosure of climate-related information in annual reports and registration statements. The rules require disclosure in the audited financial statements of certain effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions above certain financial thresholds, as well as amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates, if material. Under the rules as originally issued, disclosure requirements begin phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027. However, on April 4, 2024, the SEC determined to voluntarily stay the final rules pending certain legal challenges. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of new rules and continues to monitor the status of the related legal challenges.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The standard requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The standard will become effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2027 annual financial statements and interim financial statements thereafter and may be applied prospectively to periods after the adoption date or retrospectively for all prior periods presented in the financial statements, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt the standard beginning with the fiscal year 2027 annual financial statements, and management is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the disclosures included in the notes to the financial statements.
