The total number of shares of common stock issuable
upon conversion of the FF Notes that may be offered and resold by means of this prospectus, or 3,792,023, is based in part on an assumed
conversion price per share of $0.195, which would be one of a number of alternate conversion prices that would become applicable upon
the occurrence of an FF Notes Event of Default, and application of one of the other alternate conversion prices may result in a greater
number of shares issuable upon such conversion. The actual maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the FF Notes may also
be increased upon the application of full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions in the FF Notes. Similarly, the maximum number of shares issuable
upon exercise of the FF Warrants may be increased upon the application of full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions in the FF Warrants. Pursuant
to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2024, between the Company and FirstFire (the “June 2024 FF Registration
Rights Agreement”), and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2024, between the Company and FirstFire (the “May
2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement”), if the total number of shares issuable upon conversion of the FF Notes or upon exercise
of the FF Warrants becomes greater than the number that may be offered for resale by means of this prospectus, then the Company will
be required to register the additional shares of common stock for resale by means of one or more separate prospectuses. See “Prospectus
Summary – Private Placements – June 2024 FirstFire Private Placement” and “Prospectus Summary –
Private Placements – May 2024 FirstFire Private Placement”.
The number of shares of common stock issuable
upon conversion of the FF Notes or exercise of the FF Warrants will be subject to a limitation on beneficial ownership to 4.99% of the
common stock that would be outstanding immediately after such conversion or exercise (the “FF Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).
In addition, the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, the FF Notes, the FF Warrants, and the FF Placement
Agent Warrant provide that the maximum amount of shares of common stock issuable under the FF Notes, the FF Warrants, and the FF Placement
Agent Warrant will be limited to no more than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company as of the date of the
May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, or 3,074,792 shares of common stock, which number of shares shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis,
by the number of shares of common stock issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated
with the transactions contemplated by the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement under applicable rules of the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE
American” and such limited number of shares, the “FF Exchange Limitation”), until the Company obtains stockholder approval
to issue shares in excess of that amount for all shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement (the “FF
Stockholder Approval”).
We are not selling any securities under this
prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the Selling Stockholders. We may receive
up to $1,088,583 in aggregate gross proceeds from the cash exercise of the FF Warrants, the FF Placement Agent Warrant, and the Tumim
Placement Agent Warrants.
The Selling Stockholders may resell the shares
of common stock included in this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. We provide more information about how
the Selling Stockholders may resell the shares of common stock to which this prospectus relates in the section entitled “Plan
of Distribution”. Each of the Selling Stockholders may be deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section
2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The Selling Stockholders will pay all brokerage
fees and commissions and similar expenses in connection with the offer and resale of the shares being offered by the Selling Stockholders
by means of this prospectus. We will pay the expenses (except brokerage fees and commissions and similar expenses) incurred in registering
under the Securities Act the offer and resale of the shares included in this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders, including legal

Our
Company
Overview
We are a technology company
developing and operating a platform aiming to give significantly more student-athletes the opportunity to go to college and continue
playing sports. Our platform, Signing Day Sports, is a digital ecosystem to help athletes get discovered and recruited by coaches and
recruiters across the country. We fully support football, baseball, softball, and men’s and women’s soccer, and we plan to
expand the Signing Day Sports platform to include additional sports. Each sport is led by former professional athletes and coaches who
know what it takes to get to the big leagues.
Signing Day Sports launched
in 2019. During 2023, 3,846 aspiring high school athletes and groups throughout the United States subscribed to the Signing Day Sports
platform. Colleges in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I, Division II, and Division III, and the National
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), have utilized our platform for recruitment purposes. Signing Day Sports initially supported
football athletes, and now also offers a platform for baseball, softball, and men’s and women’s soccer, resulting in even
more recruiter and athlete platform participants.
We founded Signing Day
Sports to reinvent the high school and college sports recruiting process for the digital era. When we started the Company, recruiting
was still being done largely as it had been done since before the mass availability of Internet-connected devices and was still limited
by that model. We believe that we identified the flaws in the recruiting process and the unique opportunity it presented for us to become
a solution provider in the industry. We developed and operated our platform with the objective of optimizing and enhancing the sports
recruitment process across all sizes of colleges and athletic departments.
Our ability to leverage
modern technologies to bring coaches and student-athletes together in a mutually beneficial ecosystem has shown significant benefits
for both sides of the student-athlete recruitment process. Parents and student-athletes can use the platform to understand and provide
what recruiters want to see, seek and gain offers of better athletic scholarships or other financial aid packages, and maximize the potential
of a student-athlete’s career. Recruiters now have a comprehensive recruitment application that shows video verification of key
attribute data and gives the recruiter the ability to narrow down their search with a highly optimized search engine and student-athlete
screening process.
In short, we offer a comprehensive
solution that services the needs of all participants in the sports recruitment process. Our goal is to change the way sports recruitment
is done for the betterment of everyone.
As of March 31, 2024, we
had total assets of approximately $4.0 million with total stockholders’ equity of approximately $0.2 million.
Our sales increased 334% year-over-year in the
first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 and 293% year-over-year in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to an increase
in event revenue and user subscriptions. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, more than 40% of student-athletes’ free
trial subscriptions converted to paid trial subscriptions.
Our Historical Performance
The Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. We have incurred losses for each period from our inception and a significant accumulated deficit. For the three months ended
March 31, 2024 and 2023, net loss was approximately $2.5 million and $0.9 million. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022,
our net loss was approximately $5.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively. Our cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.8
million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and cash used in operating activities for
fiscal years 2023 and 2022 was approximately $4.8 million and $4.9 million, respectively. We had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$19.5 million and $17.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We expect to incur expenses and operating losses over the
next several years. We plan to finance our operations primarily using proceeds from this offering and other capital raises until our
transition to profitable operations, at which point we plan to finance operations primarily from profits. These plans, if successful,
will mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, there
can be no assurance that our financial resources will be sufficient to remain in operation or that necessary financing will be available
on satisfactory terms, if at all. There can also be no assurance that we will succeed in generating sufficient revenues to continue our
operations as a going concern. For further discussion, see Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Going Concern” in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (the “Quarterly Report”), which is incorporated by reference into
this prospectus.
A Problem Worth Solving
The sports recruitment industry has several problems.
Frequently, the best student-athletes are overlooked because of a lack of exposure, promotion, and experience. The dominance of the top
athletic programs reduces opportunities for talented student-athletes. Many student-athletes do not know how to effectively promote themselves.
Signing Day Sports has built an application to bring equal opportunity to all student-athletes looking to be recruited at every level.
We believe that our technology can help level
the playing field for both student-athletes and recruiters. Any student-athlete can promote and demonstrate their talent to college coaches
without economic or geographic barriers. On the other side, every recruiter who uses the platform can access the same rich level of data
that can be provided by the platform’s student-athletes.
We believe our technology will help move sports
recruitment toward a truly fair experience for all parties involved.
Our Solution
Signing Day Sports is a platform in the form
of an app available on Apple’s App Store and Google Play for student-athletes and a website portal on personal computers for coaches
and recruiters for data review. We believe Signing Day Sports is the first comprehensive sports recruitment platform. The platform interface
is designed to be optimized for each participant in the sports recruitment process. The three-tiered technology platform serves student-athletes,
their parents, high school and sports club coaches, college coaches, and professional scouts.
Student-athletes can upload key information and
video-verified data that is critical in the recruitment process. The data fields in our player platform include the following: Video-verified
measurables (such as height, weight, 40-yard dash, wingspan, hand size), academic information (such as official transcripts and SAT/ACT
scores), and technical skill videos (such as drills and speed tests that exemplify player mechanics, coordination, and development).
College coaches, team managers and other recruiters
can load in all student-athletes on their respective teams, sports clubs or programs. They can use the platform to communicate directly
with student-athletes, track their progress in the weight room and training field, and manage other aspects of their student-athletes.
Additionally, the platform serves as an important tool for recruitment and development. College coaches can manage their entire recruitment
process through our platform. Our platform provides college coaches an optimized organizational system, communication tools, and verified
data to make informed decisions and save program costs. Student-athletes and parents can use the platform to communicate with their coaches
and managers as well as track individual performance and key metrics that are valuable to recruiters. The platform was built by athletes
and recruiters for athletes and recruiters, and we believe it truly represents the future of sports recruitment.
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe our key competitive strengths include:
| ● | Massive Low-Cost Access to Recruiters. Recruiting
events, camps, games and showcases such as those hosted by Next College Student Athlete, Gridiron Elite and Perfect Game strive to match
high-level high school athletes for in-person competition. Attendees sometimes travel interstate to attend these events and typically
pay an attendance fee as well. These events are typically costly to recruits’ families and present a number of practical challenges
for recruits. Our app evens the playing field by allowing a student-athlete to get in front of numerous recruiters without any
travel or significant costs. Recent enhancements to our app now allow student-athletes to filter and search for colleges and college
coaches, get contact information and other specifics, and save favorites lists for recruiters by college or coach. |
| ● | More Objective and Fair Player Evaluations.
We believe that our platform fills a niche in the current competitive landscape by allowing recruits to put their best foot forward by
submitting only their best interviews, verified athletic/academic measurables, video-verified speed testing, drill footage, and highlight
and game film. Recruiters can then better assess their prospects than in traditional in-person recruitment events where chance
events can throw off even the best student-athletes’ performances. |
| ● | Valuable Student-Athlete Comparison
Tools. Our platform allows coaches to evaluate prospects’ drill performances
frame-by-frame, side-by-side. Additionally, our platform has verified statistics within individual
recruiting profiles. Our tool offers these and a number of other unique features that
recruiters and their prospects find exceptionally valuable. |
| ● | Designed for Coaches and Recruiters. Through our platform’s verified measurables,
“Film Room,” “Big Board,” and “Interview” features, our coach/recruiter-facing platform allows college
coaches and recruiters to drive the recruitment process. Our platform allows recruiters to easily access and request verifiable information
from thousands of student-athletes across the nation. After players submit their video-verified uploads, verified academics, and supplemental
data like responses to interview questions, coaches can make well-informed decisions. Our in-platform messaging allows coaches to communicate
directly with prospective recruits. All of our platform’s features are designed to produce an efficient, comprehensive and intuitive
process for accessing, comparing, ranking and recruiting student-athletes by user coaches and recruiters. Our data and video-verified
information can also be transferred into other data systems used by college recruiters, allowing our system to function either alone or
together with other systems as needed. |
| ● | Designed for Players and Parents. Our
app’s player-facing mobile platform easily allows players to submit video-verified information, verified academic information,
responses to interview questions, and other data, and be seen by hundreds of college coaches and recruiters. In the comfort of their
own home or a nearby field, players can upload all the information coaches need to make a well-informed decision. |
| ● | Educational Tools for Players
and Parents. Signing Day Sports supports student-athletes and parents through the
entirety of the recruiting process in three ways. First, our former college coaches, professional
athletes, and player personnel directors are readily available through the Signing Day Sports
app, website, social media accounts, and weekly webinars. They support and communicate regularly
with student-athletes to assist them throughout the recruiting process. The second way is
The Wire, Signing Day Sports’ official blog. We regularly post educational and
informative blog entries that consist of interviews, player features, in-depth dives into
specific recruiting processes and events, and other relevant subjects. Thousands of visitors
read The Wire’s entries every month to stay up to date regarding the most recent
recruiting news and updates. The third way is called “Signing Day Sports University”
or “SDS University”. SDS University is a Zendesk-based customer-facing knowledge
base and is composed of short, educational videos. Student-athletes, parents, and coaches
can learn about our app, the collegiate recruiting process from beginning to end, and more
through the SDS University video catalog. Topics range from name, image and likeness (NIL),
the transfer portal, and eligibility to more specific platform tutorials like uploading videos
or sharing the student-athlete’s profile link. SDS University helps leverage our internal
knowledge to communicate more efficiently and with more people. |
| ● | Senior Soccer Advisor.
Our recent appointment of Kevin Grogan as Senior Soccer Advisor marks a significant event
for Signing Day Sports as a soccer recruitment platform. Mr. Grogan’s distinguished
background as a former professional soccer player, seasoned coach, and knowledgeable sports
business consultant adds considerable depth and expertise to our team. His combination of
direct on-field experience and sharp business acumen, coupled with his thorough understanding
of soccer’s athletic and business dimensions, positions him to lead the enhancement
of our platform’s impact on the sport. We believe this represents a clear demonstration
of our commitment to achieving excellence in collegiate sports recruitment, and are confident
that Mr. Grogan’s insights will bolster our ability to provide what we believe will
be unparalleled recruitment services and support to young athletes. This commitment aligns
with our goal to capitalize on the global appeal of soccer, creating new opportunities for
emerging talent and establishing our position as a leader in the college recruitment sector. |
Our Growth Strategies
The key elements of our strategy to grow our
business include:
| ● | Completion and Development of Support for New Sports.
We have offered full support for football and baseball on our platform since before 2023. More recently, our official platform support
for softball launched in February 2023, and our men’s and women’s soccer platform support launched in May 2023. We plan to
continue to develop support and additional features for all the sports on our platform. |
| ● | Investment in our Platform.
We will continue to invest in our technology and infrastructure to improve our product and
ability to present best-in-class technology in the recruitment space, with planned features
such as enhancements to the colleges/coaches search feature that we introduced in April 2024.
We have also prioritized internal hires of engineers and developers to launch new features
and sports platform support, while ensuring product stability and effectiveness. This focus
is intended to support the stable, consistent, and cost-efficient development of updates
and upgrades to our platform. |
| ● | Launch New Products and Expand Features. Over
time, we will continue to launch new products and features to meet market demand. We will prioritize the needs of college coaches and
recruiters across the nation, Signing Day Sports event functionality, and the student-athletes seeking to be recruited in major sports
verticals. Some of the planned features include: |
| ● | Public Player Profile. By allowing athletes
and their parents to share a public version of the student-athlete’s profile, we can ensure that the ultimate power of recruiting
is in the student-athlete’s hands. We expect that the public version may be shared with coaches, other student-athletes and
on social media and will contain all of the student-athlete’s data, including videos. The profile will be available to anyone,
including recruiters and others that are not Signing Day Sports users. Additionally, our profile tracking is being designed to allow
players to see who has viewed their profile and may be interested in recruiting them. |
| ● | Social Community of Student-Athletes. Signing
Day Sports plans to introduce social features on the platform. We expect these features will help student-athletes share and exchange
videos, information, and bragging rights, and enhance the users’ sense of community. With a robust integration of LinkedIn and
Facebook, student-athletes will be able to follow other student-athletes, see their profiles and videos in a feed, favorite other student-athletes,
and exchange workout tips on our platform forums. Student-athletes will also be able to compete against one another for bragging
rights on the leaderboard, complete tasks for badges, and take part in Signing Day Sports community challenges. These social features
are expected to engage student-athletes with the Signing Day Sports platform more holistically through these social connections. |
| ● | Upcoming AI features. The Company has
implemented and, in some cases, expects to implement the following artificial intelligence (AI) features in 2024 and 2025: |
| ● | Lead scraping AI technology to enhance customer identification
and acquisition through personalized outreach based on metrics determined by experts. The Company has implemented this feature as
of November 2023. The feature uses an AI algorithm that analyzes each lead’s profile to create personalized messages. The
system may help us find leads that match our target market’s sport and interests, allowing us to engage with customers more efficiently,
with higher response rates, and longer-lasting customers. |
| ● | AI matchmaking for student-athletes to find the right
fit based on criteria set by an institution. The Company plans to begin development of this feature in the first quarter of 2025.
This feature will be an AI algorithm that takes specific needs set forth by a recruiter based on their own criteria and division level
of athletics. It will then create recommendations to student-athletes within the Company’s app based on their verified metrics.
The data and algorithm will be linked to previous data and analytics related to previous student-athletes recruited by those recruiters. |
| ● | Integration of existing AI video-capturing hardware to
streamline video upload and highlight tape creation. We have begun discussions with makers of AI-programed video hardware systems
that can capture the video footage of student-athletes. The AI used in these devices enables cameras to recognize players in the field,
allowing for more efficient and accurate highlight-tape creation. These devices also allow for minimal human management as they are programmed
to follow the action of the game. Our app’s profiles will allow for easier management and integration of the resulting video highlight
footage into student-athletes’ Signing Day Sports app’s video resume. We plan to have full API integration for this feature
completed by the end of the first quarter of 2025. |
| ● | Use of AI technology to confirm and enhance visual biometrics
of uploaded videos that will expand on data currently available through the platform. This feature is projected to begin testing
and research in 2024 and be integrated into the Company’s app in 2025. Our current systems use video capturing in order to verify
certain metrics. Based on developing AI camera technology, we plan to integrate software that recognizes and 3D-models all items in videos
to further verify these metrics. This hardware and modeling will produce biometrics and measurements in greater detail compared to current
systems. |
| ● | Standards assessed by AI and creation of grades/evaluations
of tasks being completed based on metrics set by experts. We plan to begin development of this feature in the third quarter of 2024
and complete its integration into the Company’s platform in 2025. It will use an algorithm to use data metrics from professionals,
college student-athletes, and peers, establishing standard measurements for all metrics entered into our platform. This algorithm will
then produce a grade based on profile data, such as position and age, to produce a standardized grade and measurement tool. |
| ● | Integration of AI chatbots that encourage student-athletes
to spend more time on the app, including personalized nutritional plans, fitness plans, general recruiting education, and more. This
feature is planned to begin in the second quarter of 2024. The chat feature will use an algorithm linked to a series of data tables with
information pertaining to the interests and challenges of student-athletes. Student-athletes will be able to use the feature and receive
recommended educational resources, action plans, or media-related items. The underlying algorithm will adjust output over time based
on user feedback and outcomes of chatbot sessions. The algorithm will also be trained to recognize when relevant information is not available
and offer to connect the user to a live Signing Day Sports representative. Based on the live representative’s chat response, the
AI algorithm will document and learn the response for future chat sessions. |
| ● | Release of My Invites.
With the first iterative release of our platform’s My Invites feature, we believe that
our staff can drive player subscriptions and engagement by assembling lists of student-athlete
platform candidates and inviting them to our platform with as few as two mouse clicks. Our
system can track whether a student-athlete deleted our email, opened it, or signed up for
a subscription and analyze the data based on college coach preferences. With this functionality,
we believe that we can increase the population of motivated student-athletes to our platform
with uploaded verified information like transcripts, drill videos, and height and weight
data. This data can then be shared with college coaches based on their preferences
to facilitate their data-informed decisions, communicate with prospects, and even make offers
and build their virtual team. |
| ● | Increase Profitability through
Multiple Revenue Streams. We plan to continue to develop our platform with additional
features for all supported sports. We also expect increased profitability as we launch support
for student-athletes in related areas such as branded apparel, including combine t-shirts
and branded towels which we began offering earlier this year, branded socks and hats to be
offered starting May-June 2024, and supplements and nutrition products as funds for product
development become available. We expect that a growing subscriber base will allow us to increase
subscription margin, increase subscriber lifetime value, and increase monthly and annual
renewal profits. |
| ● | Expand Sports Club Support.
Prominent youth sports organizations in the United States are involved in many different
sports including soccer, baseball, softball, lacrosse, basketball, and track and field. Sports
clubs are often more competitive than high school athletic programs, and club players often
demonstrate a commitment to continue playing sports at the next level. As we expand our platform
to other sports and offer more features for sports that it currently supports, we will prioritize
support for youth club sports organizations. Our support will be the expansion of a sales
team to directly work with club coaches and organizations. We expect that club teams and
organizations will embed our platform fees into their annual fees so that they can offer
enhanced recruitment support for players and their parents, while providing their coaches
with a tool to streamline the recruitment process. As described below, we have formed a strategic
alliance and official sponsorship with a major sports club organization with Elite Development
Program Soccer, or EDP, based on this model. |
| ● | Grow and Broaden Brand Awareness. Our brand
awareness has developed primarily within our football vertical. With strategic collaborations with football associations, organizations,
digital media, social media, event marketing, and organizational alliances, we expect to grow our brand throughout the United States.
Additionally, as we launch new sport verticals, we will have many opportunities to increase brand and product awareness through additional
markets. We will broaden our reach through educating players, parents, and coaches through best-in-class technology and compelling value. |
| ● | Pursue Strategic Geographies
for Product Expansion. With youth sports being played across the world, we will seek
to expand our platform and technology to other countries across the globe. Through disciplined
research, we will seek to expand our product to areas with significant children’s sport
participation, technology adoption, and access to recruiters. We expect to prioritize the
North America markets first, then replicate and introduce products suited to the local. For
example, our platform’s support for soccer could provide a significant solution to
inefficiencies in the student-athlete recruitment process in markets like Mexico and Europe. |
| ● | Digital Marketing Campaigns |
| ● | Business-to-consumer (B2C) digital marketing.
Through an expanded B2C digital marketing campaign, we will promote and advertise our products and services to thousands of high-school-aged
football players and parents across the nation. With our planned combination of compelling content, brand influencers, and a marketing
website, we expect significant growth in individual subscriber growth. In particular, we will prioritize parent-friendly social media
platforms such as Facebook, X, and Instagram, and our campaigns will support and educate parents on the recruitment process while providing
our value proposition through our products, services and technology. |
| ● | Business-to-business (B2B) digital marketing.
Through an expanded B2B digital marketing campaign, we will promote and advertise our products and services to high school and sports
club coaches, athletic directors, sports club owners, and their business development teams. |
| ● | Digital marketing techniques. Our digital marketing
campaigns will utilize search engine optimization, pay per click, digital ads, and other effective techniques to increase team and organizational
subscriptions. |
| ● | Strategic Alliance and Sponsorship Agreements.
Our focus on key strategic alliance and sponsorship agreements is aimed to both increase overall player subscriptions and marketing. |
| ● | The
U.S. Army Bowl: Over the course of our agreement, we will continue to be the official recruitment platform for the U.S. Army
Bowl, or the Bowl, an annual national all-star game for U.S. high school football, which was held under our co-supervision in December
2022 and December 2023 at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Aside from having priority on-site access to many of the top players
in the game, we can promote ourselves, advertise to, and onboard more than an estimated 10,000 student-athletes each year as a sponsor
through the game’s advertising channels. U.S. Army Bowl national combines are again planned throughout 2024. Each participant in
the combine series pays Signing Day Sports an entry fee. Data collected and analyzed by our platform are part of the selection process
for determining whether student-athletes participating in the combines may advance to the Bowl and/or National Combine events. Student-athletes
participating in Bowl combines receive one month of access to the Signing Day Sports recruiting platform with registration, a Signing
Day Sports recruiting profile with personal guidance from recruiting experts, video highlights from their combine, and tools to put their
game highlights into their profiles on the Signing Day Sports platform. Since the beginning of this collaboration, a significant percentage
of combine participants have converted to paid platform subscriptions. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, more than 40% of
combine free trial subscriptions converted to paying subscriptions. See Item 1. “Business – Sales and Marketing –
Strategic Alliance and Sponsorship Agreements” in the 2023 Annual Report for further information regarding the terms of this
agreement. |
| ● | Elite Development Program Soccer: Under our
strategic alliance with Elite Development Program Soccer, or EDP, one of the largest organizers of youth soccer leagues and tournaments
in the U.S., EDP will offer its student-athletes promotional one-year subscriptions to our platform, provide us with customer data, and
promote our recruiting platform as its “Exclusive Recruiting Platform Provider”. We will promote EDP, give access to student-athlete
data, and consult with EDP to implement and improve our platform’s features for its student-athletes. Subscription revenues from
EDP referrals will be shared between us. See Item 1. “Business – Sales and Marketing – Strategic Alliance and Sponsorship
Agreements” in the 2023 Annual Report for further information regarding the terms
of this agreement. |
| ● | Potential Accretive Acquisitions.
We are currently evaluating potential acquisition targets (although no such acquisition target
has yet been identified) that could bolster subscriber growth, branding awareness, and revenue
shares. These potential acquisitions range from owners of specific game events, student-athlete
development programs, and technologies to boost subscriber growth and revenue. |
| ● | Events and Marketing.
Through key collaborations, our events team will conduct on-site Signing Day Sports platform
registration with high school-aged athletes and their parents. Specifically, at these events,
student-athletes will have the opportunity to purchase, download, and upload key data and
information on-site. These events will include football skills camps, soccer tournaments,
7v7 football tournaments, baseball showcases, and state-wide combines. Our hosted combine
events are expected to continue to be an effective means for gaining exposure to our brand
and registering new users on our platform. We plan to increase the number of our hosted combine
events and utilize media to increase attendance and exposure at these events. |
Implications of Being an Emerging
Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company
We qualify as an “emerging growth company”
under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so
long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:
| ● | have an auditor report on our internal
control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
| ● | present three years, and may instead
present only two years, of audited financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure
in this report; |
| ● | comply with any requirement that
may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit
firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information
about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis); |
| ● | comply with certain greenhouse gas
emissions disclosure and related third-party assurance requirements; |
| ● | submit certain executive compensation
matters to stockholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;”
and |
| | |
| ● | disclose certain executive compensation
related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and
comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation. |
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also
provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities
Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain
accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits
of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such
new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an emerging growth company for
up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed
$1,235,000,000, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act,
which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business
day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible
debt during the preceding three year period.
To the extent that we continue to qualify as
a “smaller reporting company,” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, after we cease to qualify as
an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions and accommodations available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to
be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including as to: (i) the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) scaled executive compensation disclosures; (iii) presenting three years of audited financial statements; and
(iv) compliance with certain greenhouse gas emissions disclosure and related third-party assurance requirements.
Significant Voting Power of Certain Beneficial
Owners, Executive Officers and Directors
Our executive officers and directors collectively
beneficially own approximately 11.0% of our outstanding common stock. Dennis Gile, our largest stockholder and a former officer and director,
beneficially owns and has voting power over approximately 13.6% of our outstanding common stock. John Dorsey, the second-largest beneficial
owner of our common stock and a former officer and director, beneficially owns and has voting power over approximately 8.6% of our outstanding
common stock. As a result, both Mr. Gile and Mr. Dorsey individually, and our executive officers and directors collectively, are able
to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval.
Our Corporate History and Structure
Signing Day Sports, LLC, an Arizona limited liability
company (“SDS LLC – AZ”), was formed on January 21, 2019. SDS LLC – AZ formed two wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Signing Day Sports Football, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“SDSF LLC”), and Signing Day Sports Baseball, LLC,
an Arizona limited liability company (“SDSB LLC”), on September 29, 2020 and November 25, 2020, respectively.
On June 5, 2020, a process to change SDS LLC
– AZ into a Delaware corporation was initiated (collectively, the “Arizona-to-Delaware Conversion Process”). On that
date, a certificate of formation of Signing Day Sports, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SDS LLC – DE”),
and a certificate of conversion of SDS LLC – AZ into SDS LLC – DE, were filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. On September
9, 2021, a certificate of incorporation (as amended prior to the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
(as defined below), the “Certificate of Incorporation”) of Signing Day Sports, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SDS Inc.
– DE”), and a certificate of conversion of SDS LLC – DE into SDS Inc. – DE were filed with the Delaware Secretary
of State. From September 9, 2021 to July 11, 2022, SDS Inc. – DE operated as the successor entity to SDS LLC – AZ, and SDS
LLC – AZ continued to be registered as an active entity with the Arizona Corporation Commission while its conversion into SDS LLC
– DE pended.
A unanimous written consent of the board of directors
of SDS Inc. – DE, dated as of March 25, 2022, approved the form of an Agreement and Plan of Merger between SDS LLC – AZ,
SDSF LLC, SDSB LLC, and SDS Inc. – DE (the “Merger Agreement”) and related merger documents, the related merger transactions,
the form of certain Settlement Agreements (as defined below), the form of a Shareholder Agreement among the Company and the stockholders
of the Company (the “Shareholder Agreement”), and a proposed capitalization table of SDS Inc. – DE, approved and ratified
the Certificate of Incorporation and approved amended and restated bylaws of SDS Inc. – DE, and approved and ratified related matters.
In anticipation of the execution of the Merger Agreement and its consummation, in April 2022 and May 2022, SDS LLC – AZ, SDS Inc.
– DE, and each of the members or stockholders of SDS LLC – AZ, SDSF LLC, SDSB LLC, and SDS Inc. – DE, entered into
a Settlement Agreement and Release (each individually, the “Settlement Agreement,” and collectively, the “Settlement
Agreements”), which provided, among other things, for the mutual general release of all claims by the parties against and relating
to SDS LLC – AZ, SDSF LLC, SDSB LLC, and SDS Inc. – DE, and confirmed the owners and related amounts of all outstanding shares
of common stock of SDS Inc. represented by the capitalization table exhibit to the Settlement Agreements. The stockholders of SDS Inc.
– DE and the members of SDS LLC – AZ executed unanimous written consents, dated as of May 17, 2022 and July 6, 2022, respectively,
approving the Merger Agreement and related transactions, the form of the Settlement Agreements, the form of the Shareholder Agreement,
an updated capitalization table of SDS Inc., and approved and ratified the Certificate of Incorporation, the amended and restated bylaws,
the prior corporate actions that were taken in connection with the Arizona-to-Delaware Conversion Process, and certain related matters.
On May 17, 2022, the Shareholder Agreement was
entered into by and among the Company and the stockholders of the Company. The Shareholder Agreement provided certain restrictions, rights
and obligations relating to the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of the shares of the Company. The Shareholder Agreement
terminated in accordance with its terms upon the closing of the Company’s initial public offering of its common stock on November
16, 2023 and listing on the NYSE American in connection with the closing.
On July 11, 2022, the Merger Agreement was executed.
On the same date, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a certificate of merger was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and a statement
of merger was filed with the Arizona Secretary of State effecting the merger of SDS LLC – AZ, SDSF LLC, and SDSB LLC with and into
SDS Inc. – DE, and SDS Inc. – DE succeeded to the rights, property, obligations, and liabilities of each of SDS LLC –
AZ, SDSF LLC, and SDSB LLC.
The releases of claims under the Settlement Agreements
with each of Dennis Gile, Dorsey Family Holdings, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Dorsey LLC”), Joshua A. Donaldson
Revocable Trust, and Zone Right, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Zone Right”), are subject to certain specific
exceptions for claims under certain separate agreements or instruments. For a further description of the Settlement Agreements, including
the rights subject to exceptions referenced in the Settlement Agreements, see Item 13. “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,
and Director Independence – Transactions With Related Persons” in the 2023 Annual Report.
On March 13, 2023, the Reverse Stock Split, in
which each five shares of the outstanding common stock were automatically combined and converted into one share of outstanding common
stock, was approved by the board of directors, and was approved by stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of our issued
and outstanding voting capital stock as of April 4, 2023. On April 14, 2023, we filed a certificate of amendment to the Certificate of
Incorporation, which provided for the Reverse Stock Split, and the Reverse Stock Split became effective on the same date.
The Reverse Stock Split combined
each five shares of our outstanding common stock into one share of common stock, without any change in the number of authorized shares
of common stock or the par value per share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split, correspondingly adjusted, among other
things, the exercise price of our warrants, conversion price of our convertible notes, and exercise price of our stock options then outstanding.
No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and any fractional shares resulting from
the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share.
On May 5, 2023, the amendment and restatement
of the Certificate of Incorporation was approved by stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of our issued and outstanding
voting capital stock, and on May 9, 2023, the amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation”) was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and became effective the same date. Effective the same date,
the second amended and restated bylaws of the Company were adopted by unanimous written consent of the board of directors; and on December
4, 2023, the board of directors unanimously approved an amendment to such bylaws (as amended, “Second Amended and Restated Bylaws”).
On February 27, 2024, the amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation was approved by stockholders
holding a majority of the voting power of our issued and outstanding voting capital stock, and on the same date, the Second Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (“Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) was filed
with the Delaware Secretary of State and became effective upon filing. The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
Second Amended and Restated Bylaws contain certain provisions relating to limitations of liability and indemnification of directors and
certain officers, provide advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals at stockholder meetings, and other matters. See “Description
of Securities – Anti-Takeover Provisions” and “Description of Securities – Limitation on Liability and
Indemnification of Directors and Certain Officers” in Exhibit 4.1 to the 2023 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference
herein.
As of the date of this prospectus, we have no
subsidiaries.
Our fiscal year ends on December 31. Neither
we nor any of our predecessors have been in bankruptcy, receivership or any similar proceeding.

Private Placements
June 2024 FirstFire
Private Placement
On June 18, 2024, the
Company entered into the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, between the Company and FirstFire, pursuant to which, as a private placement
transaction, the Company was required to issue FirstFire the June 2024 FF Note, a senior secured promissory note, in the principal amount
of $198,611; 90,277 June 2024 FF Commitment Shares, as partial consideration for the purchase of the June 2024 FF Note; the First June
2024 FF Warrant for the purchase of up to 662,036 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.30 per share, as partial
consideration for the purchase of the June 2024 FF Note; and the Second June 2024 FF Warrant for the purchase of up to 120,370 shares
of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share exercisable from the date of an FF Notes Event of Default, as partial
consideration for the purchase of the June 2024 FF Note.
The Company also entered
into a Security Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2024, between the Company and FirstFire, under which the Company agreed to grant FirstFire
a security interest to secure the Company’s obligations under the June 2024 FF Note in all assets of the Company, except for a
certificate of deposit account with Commerce Bank of Arizona (“CBAZ”) with an approximate balance of $2,100,000 together
with (i) all interest, whether now accrued or hereafter accruing; (ii) all additional deposits made to such account; (iii) any and all
proceeds from such account; and (iv) all renewals, replacements and substitutions for any of the foregoing (the “CBAZ Collateral”),
which is subject to that certain Assignment of Deposit Account, dated as of December 11, 2023, between the Company and CBAZ (the “Assignment
of Deposit Account”), until the full repayment of that certain promissory note in the original principal amount of $2,000,000 issued
by the Company to CBAZ, dated as of December 11, 2023 and maturing on December 11, 2024 (the “Second CBAZ Promissory Note”),
pursuant to that certain Business Loan Agreement, dated as of December 11, 2023, between the Company and CBAZ (the “Second CBAZ
Loan Agreement”).
The closing of the transaction
contemplated by the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, including FirstFire’s payment of the purchase price of $175,000, was subject
to certain conditions. On June 18, 2024, such conditions were met. As a result, the June 2024 FF Commitment Shares, the June 2024 FF
Note and the June 2024 FF Warrants were issued as of June 18, 2024, and FirstFire paid $175,000, of which the Company received $154,500
in net proceeds after deductions of the placement agent’s fee of $12,250 and non-accountable expense allowance of $1,750, and FirstFire
counsel’s fees of $6,500.
June 2024 FF Purchase
Agreement
Under the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, until
the June 2024 FF Note has been fully converted or repaid, the June 2024 FF Note holder will have participation rights and rights of first
refusal on any offers of the Company’s securities other than offerings previously disclosed in the Company’s reports filed
with the SEC or any Excluded Issuance (as defined in the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement), and
most favored nation rights on any offers of the Company’s securities other than for an Excluded Issuance. The Company will also
be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the June 2024 FF Purchase
Agreement and the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement) other than pursuant to an “at-the-market” agreement with a registered broker-dealer,
whereby such registered broker-dealer is acting as principal in the purchase of common stock from the Company or an Equity Line of Credit
(as defined in the June 2024 FF Note and the May 2024 FF Note), without the consent of FirstFire, which may not be unreasonably withheld.
In addition, the Company may not issue or agree, propose, or offer to issue any shares of common stock or securities with underlying
common stock prior to the 30th calendar day after the date of the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement other than an Excluded Issuance.
The June 2024 FF Purchase
Agreement (as well as the June 2024 FF Note and the June 2024 FF Warrants) provides that the maximum amount of shares of common stock
issuable under the June 2024 FF Note and the June 2024 FF Warrants is limited to the FF Exchange Limitation until the Company obtains
the FF Stockholder Approval. The Company is required to hold a meeting of stockholders on or before the date that is six months after
the date of the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, for the purpose of obtaining the FF Stockholder Approval, with the recommendation of
the Company’s board of directors that such proposal be approved; the Company must solicit proxies from the Company’s stockholders
in connection with the proposal in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement; and all management-appointed
proxyholders must vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. In addition, all members of the Company’s board of directors and
all of the Company’s executive officers must vote in favor of such proposal, for purposes of obtaining the FF Stockholder Approval,
with respect to all of the Company’s securities then held by such persons, and the Company must generally use the Company’s
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the FF Stockholder Approval. If the Company does not obtain the FF Stockholder Approval at
the first meeting at which the proposal is voted upon, the Company must call a stockholder meeting as often as possible thereafter to
seek the FF Stockholder Approval until the FF Stockholder Approval is obtained.
June 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement
As required by the June
2024 FF Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into the June 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement, between the Company and FirstFire,
pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the resale of the June 2024 FF Commitment Shares and the shares of common stock underlying
the June 2024 FF Note and the June 2024 FF Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant
to a registration statement. The Company agreed to file the registration statement with the SEC within 90 calendar days from the date
of the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 120 days from the date
of the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement. The Company also granted FirstFire certain piggyback registration rights pursuant to the June
2024 FF Purchase Agreement. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part was filed with the SEC in order to comply
with these requirements. Pursuant to the June 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement, if the total number of shares issuable upon conversion
of the June 2024 FF Note or upon exercise of the June 2024 FF Warrants becomes greater than the number that may be offered for resale
by means of the prospectus that forms a part of the registration statement, then the Company will be required to register the additional
shares of common stock for resale by means of one or more separate prospectuses.
June 2024 FF Note
The principal amount of the June 2024 FF Note
is based on an original issue discount of 10% and will bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum on a 365-day basis. The interest will
be guaranteed, which requires that all interest that would accrue through the latest date of maturity (equal to approximately $19,861)
be paid. The June 2024 FF Note will mature on the earlier of the 12-month anniversary date of the issuance date, or June 18, 2025, and
the date of the consummation of a sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the consolidation,
merger or other business combination of the Company with or into any other entity when the Company is not the survivor.
Under the June 2024
FF Note, the Company is required to make eight monthly amortization payments of approximately $27,309 each, commencing October 18, 2024,
and pay the entire remaining outstanding balance on June 18, 2025. The Company may prepay the June 2024 FF Note any time prior to an
FF Notes Event of Default on 15 trading days’ prior written notice for an amount equal to 110% of the principal amount then outstanding
and 110% of the accrued and unpaid interest outstanding.
Under the June 2024
FF Note, the holder of the June 2024 FF Note may at any time and from time to time, subject to the FF Beneficial Ownership Limitation
and the FF Exchange Limitation, convert the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest under the June 2024 FF Note into shares
of common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment, including adjustments under full-ratchet anti-dilution
provisions for any issuances of securities at a lower price per share or per underlying share of common stock to match the price of such
lower-priced securities, other than for an Excluded Issuance (the “FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price”). If the Company fails
to make an amortization payment when due under the June 2024 FF Note, the balance remaining under the June 2024 FF Note will become convertible,
and the conversion price will become the lower of the then-applicable FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price and 80% of the lowest closing price
of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the date of a conversion of the June 2024 FF Note. If an FF Notes Event of Default
occurs under the June 2024 FF Note, then the balance remaining under the June 2024 FF Note will become convertible at the lower of the
FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price, the closing price of the common stock on the date of the FF Notes Event of Default (or the next trading
day if such date is not on a trading day), and $0.195 per share.
An FF Notes Event of Default will occur upon
the occurrence of any of the following: The failure to pay obligations when due; failure to issue shares upon conversions as required;
a material breach of representations and warranties or covenants; the entry of material judgments against certain of the Company’s
subsidiaries; the initiation of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries; defaults on other
indebtedness; failure to remain subject to and compliant with the Exchange Act; failure to maintain intellectual property and other necessary
assets; the restatement of any financial statements; disclosure or attempted disclosure of material non-public information to the June
2024 FF Note holder; unavailability of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) for resales of the Company’s
securities on or after six months from the issuance date of the June 2024 FF Note; and the delisting or suspension of listing of the
Company’s common stock by the NYSE American. The occurrence of an FF Notes Event of Default will result in a number of additional
obligations to the June 2024 FF Note holder, including acceleration and multiplication by 125% of the June 2024 FF Note balance; default
interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) 15% per annum and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law from the due date thereof until
the same is paid; and the increase of the principal balance of the June 2024 FF Note by $3,000 each calendar month until the June 2024
FF Note is repaid in its entirety.
If at any time prior to the full repayment or
full conversion of all amounts owed under the June 2024 FF Note the Company receives cash proceeds from any source or series of related
or unrelated sources on or after the date of the June 2024 FF Note, including but not limited to, payments from customers, the issuance
of equity or debt, the incurrence of Indebtedness (as defined in the June 2024 FF Note and the May 2024 FF Note), a merchant cash advance,
sale of receivables or similar transaction, the exercise of outstanding warrants of the Company, the issuance of securities pursuant
to an Equity Line of Credit of the Company or the Company’s offering of securities under Regulation A under the Securities Act,
or the Company’s sale of assets (including but not limited to real property), the Company shall, within one business day of the
Company’s receipt of such proceeds, inform the holder of the June 2024 FF Note of or publicly disclose such receipt, following
which the holder of the June 2024 FF Note shall have the right in its sole discretion to require the Company to immediately apply up
to 100% of such proceeds to repay all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount and interest (including any default interest)
then due under the June 2024 FF Note, not including any such proceeds used to repay the May 2024 FF Note. The 110% prepayment premium
will apply to any repayment of the June 2024 FF Note pursuant to this requirement prior to the occurrence of an FF Notes Event of Default.
The June 2024 FF Note
will be a senior secured obligation of the Company, with priority over all existing and future indebtedness of the Company, except that
the June 2024 FF Note provides that it will be pari passu in priority to the May 2024 FF Note, and junior in priority to the Second CBAZ
Promissory Note. The Company may not incur any Indebtedness that is senior to or pari passu with the obligations under the June 2024
FF Note. During the period that any obligation under the June 2024 FF Note remains outstanding, the Company may not, without the June
2024 FF Note holder’s prior written consent, declare or pay any dividends or other distributions on shares of capital stock except
in the form of shares of common stock or distributions pursuant to a stockholders’ rights plan approved by a majority of the Company’s
disinterested directors. The Company also may not repurchase any capital stock or repay any indebtedness other than the May 2024 FF Note
and the Second CBAZ Promissory Note while the Company has any obligation under the June 2024 FF Note without FirstFire’s written
consent. The Company also may not (a) change the nature of its business; (b) sell, divest, change the structure of any material assets
other than in the ordinary course of business; (c) enter into a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement
and the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement); or (d) enter into any merchant cash advance transaction, sale of receivables transaction, or
any other similar transaction, without the consent of FirstFire, which may not be unreasonably withheld. The June 2024 FF Note also contains
a most favored nations provision with respect to the issuance of any debt securities of the Company.
June 2024 FF Warrants
First June 2024 FF
Warrant
The First June 2024 FF Warrant will be exercisable
for up to 662,036 shares of common stock from the date of issuance until the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The holder may
exercise the First June 2024 FF Warrant by a “cashless” exercise if the Market Price (as defined below) is less than the
exercise price then in effect and there is no effective registration statement for the resale of the shares. The “Market Price”
is defined as the highest traded price of the common stock during the 30 trading days before the date of the cashless exercise. The number
of shares issuable upon cashless exercise will equal (i) the product of (a) the number of shares of common stock that the holder elects
to purchase under the First June 2024 FF Warrant, times (b) the Market Price less the exercise price, divided by (ii) the Market Price.
Under the First June
2024 FF Warrant, the holder of the First June 2024 FF Warrant may at any time and from time to time, subject to the FF Beneficial Ownership
Limitation and the FF Exchange Limitation, exercise the First June 2024 FF Warrant to purchase shares of common stock at an initial exercise
price of $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment, including adjustments under full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions for any issuances
of securities at a lower price per share or per underlying share of common stock other than for an Excluded Issuance, or for any issuances
of securities at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of the common stock, to match the price of such lower-priced
or variable-priced securities, or for other dilution events. Simultaneous with any adjustment to the exercise price as a result of an
anti-dilution adjustment, the number of shares underlying the First June 2024 FF Warrant will be adjusted proportionately so that after
such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable under the First June 2024 FF Warrant for the adjusted number of shares underlying
the First June 2024 FF Warrant will be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without
regard to any limitations on exercise). The First June 2024 FF Warrant also contains rights to any rights to purchase securities of the
Company distributed pro rata to the stockholders of the Company.
Second June 2024
FF Warrant
The Second June 2024
FF Warrant will be exercisable for up to 120,370 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share from the Second
FF Warrants Trigger Date until the fifth anniversary of the Second FF Warrants Trigger Date, subject to the FF Beneficial Ownership Limitation
and the FF Exchange Limitation. The Second June 2024 FF Warrant will automatically be cancelled if the June 2024 FF Note is fully repaid
in cash prior to any FF Notes Event of Default. The Second June 2024 FF Warrant otherwise has the same terms and conditions as the First
June 2024 FF Warrant.
Placement Agent Compensation
Relating to June 2024 FirstFire Private Placement
Under the Boustead Engagement
Letter, Boustead acted as placement agent in the transaction described above. Pursuant to the Boustead Engagement Letter, the Company
paid Boustead a commission of $12,250, equal to 7% of the gross proceeds from this transaction, and a non-accountable expense allowance
of $1,750, equal to 1% of the gross proceeds from this transaction. Boustead waived any rights to compensation from the issuance of warrants
to purchase common stock of the Company under the Boustead Engagement Letter with respect to this transaction, and deferred any rights

June 2024 Amendment
to May 2024 Transaction Documents with FirstFire
On June 18, 2024, the
Company entered into the Amendment to May 2024 FF Transaction Documents, between the Company and FirstFire. The Amendment to May 2024
FF Transaction Documents contained agreements relating to the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and the May 2024 FF Note and an amendment
to the original May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement.
The Amendment to May
2024 FF Transaction Documents provided that neither the Company’s execution of the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and the related
transaction documents, nor the Company’s issuance of securities to FirstFire pursuant to the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and
the related transaction documents, will cause a breach of any provision of the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement or an FF Notes Event of
Default. The Amendment to May 2024 FF Transaction Documents further provided that the issuance of the June 2024 FF Note was permitted,
and that the June 2024 FF Note will be pari passu in priority to the May 2024 FF Note, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement or the May 2024 FF Note. In addition, the original May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement was amended to delete
a provision that, upon meeting certain terms and conditions, at the Company’s option, FirstFire would be required to fund the purchase
price of at least an additional $175,000 under the same terms and conditions as the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and related transaction
documents.
May 2024 FirstFire
Private Placement
On May 16, 2024, the Company entered into the
May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, between the Company and FirstFire, pursuant to which, as a private placement transaction, the Company
was required to issue the May 2024 FF Note, a senior secured promissory note, in the principal amount of $412,500; 187,500 May 2024 FF
Commitment Shares, as partial consideration for the purchase of the May 2024 FF Note, the First May 2024 FF Warrant to purchase up to
1,375,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.30 per share, as partial consideration for the purchase of the May
2024 FF Note; and the Second May 2024 FF Warrant to purchase up to 250,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.01
per share, as partial consideration for the purchase of the May 2024 FF Note.
The Company also entered
into a Security Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2024, between the Company and FirstFire, under which the Company agreed to grant FirstFire
a security interest to secure the Company’s obligations under the May 2024 FF Note in all assets of the Company, except for the
CBAZ Collateral, until the full repayment of the Second CBAZ Promissory Note, pursuant to the Second CBAZ Loan Agreement.
The closing of the initial
transaction contemplated by the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, including FirstFire’s payment of the purchase price of $375,000,
was subject to certain conditions. On May 20, 2024, such conditions were met. As a result, the May 2024 FF Commitment Shares, the May
2024 FF Note and the May 2024 FF Warrants were released from escrow and issued as of May 16, 2024, and FirstFire paid $375,000, of which
the Company received $336,500 in net proceeds after deductions of the placement agent’s fee of $26,250 and non-accountable expense
allowance of $3,750, and FirstFire counsel’s fees of $8,500.
May 2024 FF Purchase
Agreement
Under the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, until
the May 2024 FF Note has been fully converted or repaid, the May 2024 FF Note holder will have participation rights and rights of first
refusal on any offers of the Company’s securities other than offerings previously disclosed in the Company’s reports filed
with the SEC or any Excluded Issuance, and most favored nation rights on any offers of the Company’s securities other than for
an Excluded Issuance. The Company will also be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement involving a Variable Rate Transaction
(as defined in the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement and the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement) other than pursuant to an “at-the-market”
agreement with a registered broker-dealer, whereby such registered broker-dealer is acting as principal in the purchase of common stock
from the Company or an Equity Line of Credit, without the consent of FirstFire, which may not be unreasonably withheld. In addition,
the Company may not issue or agree, propose, or offer to issue any shares of common stock or securities with underlying common stock
prior to the 30th calendar day after the date of the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement.
The May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement (as well as
the May 2024 FF Note and the May 2024 FF Warrants) provides that the maximum amount of shares of common stock issuable under the May
2024 FF Note and the May 2024 FF Warrants is limited to the FF Exchange Limitation until the Company obtains the FF Stockholder Approval
allowing the Company to issue shares in excess of the FF Exchange Limitation. The Company is required to hold a meeting of stockholders
on or before the date that is six months after the date of the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, for the purpose of obtaining the FF Stockholder
Approval, with the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors that such proposal be approved; the Company must solicit
proxies from the Company’s stockholders in connection with the proposal in the same manner as all other management proposals in
such proxy statement; and all management-appointed proxyholders must vote their proxies in favor of such proposal. In addition, all members
of the Company’s board of directors and all of the Company’s executive officers must vote in favor of such proposal, for
purposes of obtaining the FF Stockholder Approval, with respect to all of the Company’s securities then held by such persons, and
the Company must generally use the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the FF Stockholder Approval. If the Company
does not obtain the FF Stockholder Approval at the first meeting at which the proposal is voted upon, the Company must call a stockholder
meeting as often as possible thereafter to seek the FF Stockholder Approval until the FF Stockholder Approval is obtained.
May 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement
As required by the May
2024 FF Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into the May 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 16, 2024, between
the Company and FirstFire), pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the resale of the May 2024 FF Commitment Shares and the shares
of common stock underlying the May 2024 FF Note and the May 2024 FF Warrants under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement.
The Company agreed to file the registration statement with the SEC within 90 calendar days from the date of the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement
and have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 120 days from the date of the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement.
The Company also granted FirstFire certain piggyback registration rights pursuant to the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement. The registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part was filed with the SEC in order to comply with these requirements. Pursuant to the May
2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement, if the total number of shares issuable upon conversion of the May 2024 FF Notes or upon exercise
of the May 2024 FF Warrants becomes greater than the number that may be offered for resale by means of the prospectus that forms a part
of the registration statement, then the Company will be required to register the additional shares of common stock for resale by means
of one or more separate prospectuses.
May 2024 FF Note
The principal amount of the May 2024 FF Note
is based on an original issue discount of 10% and will bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum on a 365-day basis. The interest will
be guaranteed, which requires that all interest that would accrue through the latest date of maturity (equal to $41,250) be paid. The
May 2024 FF Note will mature on the earlier of the 12-month anniversary date of the issuance date, or May 16, 2025, and the date of the
consummation of a sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the consolidation, merger
or other business combination of the Company with or into any other entity when the Company is not the survivor.
Under the May 2024 FF
Note, the Company is required to make eight monthly amortization payments of $56,715 each, commencing September 16, 2024, and pay the
entire remaining outstanding balance on May 16, 2025. The Company may prepay the May 2024 FF Note any time prior to an FF Notes Event
of Default on 15 trading days’ prior written notice for an amount equal to 110% of the principal amount then outstanding and 110%
of the accrued and unpaid interest outstanding.
Under the May 2024 FF
Note, the holder of the May 2024 FF Note may at any time and from time to time, subject to the FF Beneficial Ownership Limitation and
the FF Exchange Limitation, convert the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest under the May 2024 FF Note into shares of common
stock at the initial FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price. If the Company fails to make an amortization payment when due under the May 2024
FF Note, the balance remaining under the May 2024 FF Note will become convertible, and the conversion price will become the lower of
the then-applicable FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price and 80% of the lowest closing price of the common stock during the ten trading days
prior to the date of a conversion of the May 2024 FF Note. If an FF Notes Event of Default occurs, then the balance remaining under the
May 2024 FF Note will become convertible at the lower of the FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price, the closing price of the common stock on
the date of the FF Notes Event of Default (or the next trading day if such date is not on a trading day), and $0.195 per share.
An FF Notes Event of Default will occur upon
the occurrence of any of the following: The failure to pay obligations when due; failure to issue shares upon conversions as required;
a material breach of representations and warranties or covenants; the entry of material judgments against certain of the Company’s
subsidiaries; the initiation of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of certain of our subsidiaries; defaults on other indebtedness;
failure to remain subject to and compliant with the Exchange Act; failure to maintain intellectual property and other necessary assets;
the restatement of any financial statements; disclosure or attempted disclosure of material non-public information to the May 2024 FF
Note holder; unavailability of Rule 144 for resales of the Company’s securities on or after six months from the issuance date of
the May 2024 FF Note; and the delisting or suspension of listing of the Company’s common stock by the NYSE American. The occurrence
of an FF Notes Event of Default will result in a number of additional obligations to the May 2024 FF Note holder, including acceleration
and multiplication by 125% of the May 2024 FF Note balance; default interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) 15% per annum and (ii)
the maximum amount permitted by law from the due date thereof until the same is paid; and the increase of the principal balance of the
May 2024 FF Note by $3,000 each calendar month until the May 2024 FF Note is repaid in its entirety.
If, at any time prior to the full repayment or
full conversion of all amounts owed under the May 2024 FF Note, the Company receives cash proceeds from any source or series of related
or unrelated sources on or after the date of the May 2024 FF Note, including but not limited to, payments from customers, the issuance
of equity or debt, the incurrence of Indebtedness, a merchant cash advance, sale of receivables or similar transaction, the exercise
of outstanding warrants of the Company, the issuance of securities pursuant to an Equity Line of Credit of the Company or the Company’s
offering of securities under Regulation A under the Securities Act, or the Company’s sale of assets (including but not limited
to real property), the Company shall, within one business day of the Company’s receipt of such proceeds, inform the holder of the
May 2024 FF Note of or publicly disclose such receipt, following which the holder of the May 2024 FF Note shall have the right in its
sole discretion to require the Company to immediately apply up to 100% of such proceeds to repay all or any portion of the outstanding
principal amount and interest (including any default interest) then due under the May 2024 FF Note. The 110% prepayment premium will
apply to any repayment of the May 2024 FF Note pursuant to this requirement prior to the occurrence of an FF Notes Event of Default.
The May 2024 FF Note will be a senior secured
obligation of the Company, with priority over all existing and future indebtedness of the Company, except that the May 2024 FF Note will
be junior in priority to the Second CBAZ Promissory Note and, in accordance with the Amendment to May 2024 FF Transaction Documents,
pari passu in priority to the June 2024 FF Note. The Company may not incur any Indebtedness that is senior to or pari passu with the
obligations under the May 2024 FF Note. During the period that any obligation under the May 2024 FF Note remains outstanding, the Company
may not, without the May 2024 FF Note holder’s prior written consent, declare or pay any dividends or other distributions on shares
of capital stock except in the form of shares of common stock or distributions pursuant to a stockholders’ rights plan approved
by a majority of the Company’s disinterested directors. The Company also may not repurchase any capital stock or repay any indebtedness
other than the Second CBAZ Promissory Note while the Company has any obligation under the May 2024 FF Note without FirstFire’s
written consent. The Company also may not (a) change the nature of its business; (b) sell, divest, change the structure of any material
assets other than in the ordinary course of business; (c) enter into a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the June 2024 FF Purchase
Agreement and the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement); or (d) enter into any merchant cash advance transaction, sale of receivables transaction,
or any other similar transaction, without the consent of FirstFire, which may not be unreasonably withheld. The May 2024 FF Note also
contains a most favored nations provision with respect to the issuance of any debt securities of the Company.
May 2024 FF Warrants
First May 2024 FF
Warrant
The First May 2024 FF Warrant will be exercisable
for up to 1,375,000 shares of common stock from the date of issuance until the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. The holder
may exercise the First May 2024 FF Warrant by a “cashless” exercise if the Market Price is less than the exercise price then
in effect and there is no effective registration statement for the resale of the shares. The number of shares issuable upon cashless
exercise will equal (i) the product of (a) the number of shares of common stock that the holder elects to purchase under the First May
2024 FF Warrant, times (b) the Market Price less the exercise price, divided by (ii) the Market Price.
Under the First May
2024 FF Warrant, the holder of the First May 2024 FF Warrant may at any time and from time to time, subject to the FF Beneficial Ownership
Limitation and the FF Exchange Limitation, exercise the First May 2024 FF Warrant to purchase shares of common stock at an initial exercise
price of $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment, including adjustments under full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions for any issuances
of securities at a lower price per share or per underlying share of common stock other than for an Excluded Issuance, or for any issuances
of securities at a price which varies or may vary with the market price of the common stock, to match the price of such lower-priced
or variable-priced securities, or for other dilution events. Simultaneous with any adjustment to the exercise price as a result of an
anti-dilution adjustment, the number of shares underlying the First May 2024 FF Warrant will be adjusted proportionately so that after
such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable under the First May 2024 FF Warrant for the adjusted number of shares underlying
the First May 2024 FF Warrant will be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without
regard to any limitations on exercise). The First May 2024 FF Warrant also contains rights to any rights to purchase securities of the
Company distributed pro rata to the stockholders of the Company.
Second May 2024
FF Warrant
The Second May 2024
FF Warrant will be exercisable for up to 250,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share from the Second

in cash prior to any FF Notes Event of Default. The Second May 2024 FF Warrant otherwise has the same terms and conditions as the First
May 2024 FF Warrant.
Placement Agent
Compensation Relating to May 2024 FirstFire Private Placement
Under the Boustead Engagement Letter, under which
Boustead acted as the placement agent in connection with the initial transaction contemplated by the May 2024 FF Purchase Agreement,
the Company paid to Boustead a cash fee of $26,250, equal to 7% of the purchase price of the May 2024 FF Note, and a non-accountable
expense allowance of $3,750, equal to 1% of the purchase price of the May 2024 FF Note. The Company also issued Boustead 13,125 shares
of common stock, equal to 7% of the May 2024 FF Commitment Shares. In addition, the Company issued the FF Placement Agent Warrant to
purchase up to 7% of the shares issuable upon exercise of the First May 2024 FF Warrant, or 96,250 shares, with an exercise price of
$0.30 per share. The number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of the FF Placement Agent Warrant is limited by the FF Exchange
Limitation until the Company obtains the FF Stockholder Approval. The FF Placement Agent Warrant will be exercisable for a period of
five years from the date of issuance, contains cashless exercise provisions, and may have certain registration rights.
Under the Boustead Engagement
Letter, the Company also issued to Boustead a placement agent warrant to purchase up to a number of shares equal to 7% of the shares
of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Second May 2024 FF Warrant, or 17,500 shares, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the
“Second May 2024 Placement Agent Warrant”), exercisable for five years from the Second FF Warrants Trigger Date.
On June 18, 2024, the Company entered into a
Warrant Cancellation Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2024, between the Company and Boustead, which provided that the Second May 2024
Placement Agent Warrant was cancelled and of no further effect, and that no other compensation will be issued to Boustead by the Company
in lieu of the Second May 2024 PA Warrant. No portion of the Second May 2024 Placement Agent Warrant had been exercised prior to its
cancellation.
Placement Agent Compensation Relating to
Tumim Purchase Agreement
On January 26, 2024,
the Company was required to issue to Tumim 661,102 shares of common stock as consideration for its commitment to purchase shares of our
common stock from time to time at our direction under the Tumim Purchase Agreement (the “Tumim Commitment Shares”) in an
amount valued at $500,000 in the aggregate, subject to a prohibition under the Tumim Purchase Agreement on issuances or sales of shares
of common stock to Tumim that would result in Tumim beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s
common stock (the “Tumim Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The per share value of the Tumim Commitment Shares was required
to be calculated by dividing (i) $500,000 by (ii) the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices (“VWAPs”) during
the five consecutive trading day period ending on (and including) the trading day immediately prior to the date of the filing of the
initial registration statement to register under the Securities Act the offer and resale by Tumim of all of the shares of common stock
that could be issued and sold by the Company to Tumim from time to time under the Tumim Purchase Agreement (the “Tumim Registration
Statement”). If any shares that were otherwise required to be issued as Tumim Commitment Shares were not permitted to be issued
due to the Tumim Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the Company was required to pay to Tumim in cash the amount equal to the product of
(i) the number of shares that may not be issued as Tumim Commitment Shares due to the Tumim Beneficial Ownership Limitation and (ii)
the average of the daily VWAPs during the five consecutive trading day period ending on (and including) the trading day immediately prior
to the date of the initial filing of the Tumim Registration Statement. Accordingly, on January 26, 2024, the date of the initial filing
with the SEC of the Tumim Registration Statement, the Company issued the Tumim Commitment Shares to Tumim, which were valued at $470,360.45
in the aggregate, based on the average of the daily VWAPs during the five consecutive trading day period ending on (and including) the
trading day immediately prior to the date of the initial filing of the Tumim Registration Statement, which constituted approximately
4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock, and, due to the Tumim Beneficial Ownership Limitation and pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the Tumim Purchase Agreement summarized above, we paid Tumim $29,639.55 in cash, which equaled the number of the Tumim
Commitment Shares that would have been issued but for the application of the Tumim Beneficial Ownership Limitation, multiplied by the
average of the daily VWAPs during the five consecutive trading day period ending on (and including) the trading day immediately prior
to the date of the initial filing of the Tumim Registration Statement.
We sold a total of 114,496
shares of common stock to Tumim pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tumim Purchase Agreement, for total gross
proceeds of $50,627. The sales were made over the course of four purchases, as follows: On March 6, 2024, 11,386 shares were sold at
a price per share of $0.63973. On March 12, 2024, 30,849 shares were sold at a price per share of $0.42218. On March 18, 2024, 54,045
shares were sold at a price per share of $0.45876. On March 27, 2024, 18,216 shares were sold at a price per share of $0.30334. See Item
2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital
Resources – Committed Equity Financing Facility” of the Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference herein.
Under the Boustead Engagement
Letter, Boustead acted as the placement agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Tumim Purchase Agreement. We agreed
to issue Boustead 49,193 Tumim Placement Agent Fee Shares in connection with our issuance of the Tumim Commitment Shares to Tumim on
January 26, 2024, equal to 7% of the number of Tumim Commitment Shares that would have been issued but for the application of the Tumim
Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as a fee pursuant to the Boustead Engagement Letter. Under the Boustead Engagement Letter, we were also
required to pay Boustead a cash fee equal to 7% of the amount actually paid by Tumim to the Company pursuant to the Tumim Purchase Agreement
and a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the amount actually paid by Tumim to the Company pursuant to the Tumim Purchase
Agreement. In addition, we were required to issue the Tumim Placement Agent Warrants to purchase a number of shares equal to 7% of the
number of shares of common stock issued to Tumim pursuant to purchases under the Tumim Purchase Agreement, at an exercise price equal
to the applicable purchase price per share. Accordingly, in connection with the sales of shares under the Tumim Purchase Agreement described
above, the Company issued Boustead four Tumim Placement Agent Warrants: (i) On March 6, 2024 for the purchase of 797 shares at an exercise
price of $0.63973 per share; (ii) on March 12, 2024 for the purchase of 2,159 shares at an exercise price of $0.42218 per share; (iii)
on March 18, 2024 for the purchase of 3,783 shares at an exercise price of $0.45876 per share; and (iv) on March 27, 2024 for the purchase
of 1,275 shares at an exercise price of $0.30334 per share, respectively. Boustead and its affiliates are not in any manner related to
Tumim or any of Tumim’s affiliates. Boustead’s compensation under the Boustead Engagement Letter in connection with the Tumim
Purchase Agreement is subject to reduction or adjustment to the extent that such compensation is determined to be in excess of or otherwise
noncompliant with applicable rules of FINRA. See also Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Contractual Obligations – Contractual Obligations to
Boustead Securities, LLC” of the Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference herein.

April 2024 Note
On April 25, 2024, the Company issued a promissory
note to Daniel Nelson, the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and a director of the Company, dated April 25, 2024, in the base principal
amount of $100,000 (the “April 2024 Note”). The April 2024 Note permits Mr. Nelson to make advances under the April 2024
Note of up to $100,000 in addition to the $100,000 base principal amount. On May 1, 2024, Mr. Nelson advanced $75,000 subject to the
terms of the April 2024 Note. On June 14, 2024, Mr. Nelson advanced $2,500 subject to the terms of the April 2024 Note. The base principal
and all advances under the April 2024 Note will accrue interest at a monthly rate of 3.5%, compounded monthly, while such funds are outstanding,
from the 30th day following the date of issuance of the April 2024 Note to the 150th day following the date of issuance of the April
2024 Note, such that total interest of $3,500 will accrue as of the end of the first month, $3,622.50 as of the end of the second month,
and so on, with respect to the base principal, assuming that it is not prepaid. The base principal, any advances, and accrued interest
will become payable on the earlier of June 25, 2024 or upon the Company receiving any funding of $1,000,000 (the “April 2024 Note
Maturity Date”). The Company is required to make full repayment of the balance of the base principal, advances, and accrued interest
within two business days of receiving a written demand from Mr. Nelson on or after the April 2024 Note Maturity Date. The Company may
prepay the base principal, any advances, and any interest then due without penalty.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves
a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information contained in this
prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement, the information set forth under Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the 2023 Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by reference except to the extent that the risk factors stated therein are amended, restated and
updated hereby, and in other filings we make with the SEC, before purchasing our common stock. We have listed below (not necessarily
in order of importance or probability of occurrence) what we believe to be the most significant risk factors applicable to us, but they
do not constitute all of the risks that may be applicable to us. Any of the following factors could harm our business, financial condition,
results of operations or prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. Some statements in this prospectus
and in the reports incorporated herein by reference, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements.
Please refer to the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.
Risks Related to the Company’s Business, Operations and Industry
Our current level of indebtedness and other
financial commitments could adversely affect our financial condition or liquidity, and we could have difficulty fulfilling our obligations
under our indebtedness, which may have a material adverse effect on us.
As of July 2, 2024, we had outstanding indebtedness
and other financial commitments totaling approximately $1.0 million, compared to less than $100,000 in cash and cash equivalents. Our
current level of indebtedness and other financial commitments increases the risk that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to
pay amounts due in respect of our indebtedness and other financial commitments. The level of our indebtedness and other financial commitments
could have other important consequences on our business, including:
| ● | making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations
with respect to indebtedness and other financial commitments; |
| ● | increasing our vulnerability to adverse changes in general
economic, industry, and competitive conditions; |
| ● | requiring us to dedicate a significant portion of our cash
flows from operations to make payments on our indebtedness and other financial commitments, thereby reducing the availability of our
cash flows to fund working capital and other general corporate purposes; |
| ● | limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to,
changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; |
| ● | restricting us from capitalizing on business opportunities; |
| ● | placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our
competitors that have less debt; |
| ● | limiting our ability to borrow additional funds for working
capital, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy, or other general corporate purposes; |
| ● | requiring us to provide additional credit support, such as
letters of credit or other financial guarantees, to our customers or suppliers, thereby limiting our availability of funds; |
| ● | limiting our ability to enter into certain commercial arrangements
because of concerns of counterparty risks; and |
| ● | limiting our ability to adjust to changing market conditions
and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt. |
The occurrence of any one or more of these circumstances
could have a material adverse effect on us.
Our ability to make scheduled payments on and
to refinance our indebtedness, including on our outstanding promissory notes, depends on and is subject to our financial and operating
performance, which in turn is affected by general and regional economic, financial, competitive, business, and other factors (many of
which are beyond our control), including the availability of financing in the international banking and capital markets. We cannot be
certain that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an
amount sufficient to enable us to service our debt, including the outstanding notes, to refinance our debt, or to fund our other liquidity
needs.
If we are unable to meet our debt service obligations
or to fund our other liquidity needs, we will need to restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt, including the outstanding
notes. Failure to successfully restructure or refinance our debt could cause us to default on our debt obligations and would impair our
liquidity. Our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets, which is outside of
our control, and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may
require us to comply with more onerous covenants that could further restrict our business operations.
Moreover, in the event of a default of our debt
service obligations, if not cured or waived, the holders of the applicable indebtedness, including holders of our outstanding notes,
could elect to declare all the funds borrowed to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest. Our assets or cash flows
may not be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under our outstanding debt instruments if accelerated upon an event of default. A default
in our debt service obligations in respect of the FF Notes may permit FirstFire to declare all amounts owed under the FF Notes immediately
due and payable and to institute foreclosure proceedings against its collateral, which consists of all assets of the Company except for
the CBAZ Collateral. Any such default, event of default if not cured or waived, or declaration of acceleration could force us into bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, or liquidation.
The FF Notes and any other credit or similar
agreements into which we may enter in the future may restrict our operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes or to take
certain actions regarding our business.
The FF Notes contain a number of restrictive
covenants that impose operating and financial restrictions on us and limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term
interest, including restrictions on our ability to incur debt, create liens and encumbrances, engage in certain fundamental changes,
dispose of assets, repurchase our stock, repay indebtedness owed to any affiliates (which include the indebtedness under a promissory
note issued to Daniel Nelson, the Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and a director of the Company, on April 25, 2024 for $100,000 base
principal, a $75,000 advance made on May 1, 2024, and a $2,500 advance made on June 14, 2024, bearing interest at a monthly rate of 3.5%,
compounded monthly, while such funds are outstanding, from the 30th day following the date of issuance of the April 2024 Note to the
150th day following the date of issuance of the April 2024 Note, maturing on the earlier of June 25, 2024 or upon the Company receiving
any funding of $1,000,000 and thereafter due upon demand of repayment), raise capital from certain types of transactions, and engage
in transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to limitations and exceptions set forth in the FF Notes. In addition, the FF Notes
provide that the FF Notes’ holders may demand that any cash proceeds from any source be applied to repay all or any portion of
the outstanding principal amount and interest (including any default interest) then due under the FF Notes, which may adversely affect
the Company’s ability to manage its cash flow and availability of capital resources.
The FF Notes also contain customary events of
default, such as the failure to pay obligations when due, failure to issue shares upon conversions as required, a material breach of
representations and warranties or covenants, the entry of material judgments against certain of our subsidiaries, the initiation of bankruptcy
or insolvency proceedings of certain of our subsidiaries, defaults on other indebtedness, failure to remain subject to and compliant
with the Exchange Act, failure to maintain intellectual property and other necessary assets, the restatement of any financial statements,
disclosure or attempted disclosure of material non-public information to the FF Notes’ holders, unavailability of Rule 144 for
resales of the Company’s securities, or the delisting or suspension of listing of the Company’s common stock by the NYSE
American. The occurrence of an FF Notes Event of Default would result in a number of additional obligations to the holder of the May
2024 FF Note or the June 2024 FF Note, including acceleration of its balance multiplied by 125%; default interest at the rate of the
lesser of (i) 15% per annum and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by law from the due date thereof until the same is paid; and the increase
of the principal balance by $3,000 each calendar month until the respective promissory note is repaid in its entirety. In addition, subject
to customary cure rights, we may be subject to foreclosure on the collateral securing the rights of the FF Notes’ holders, which
could force us into bankruptcy or liquidation.
In the event that the FF Notes’ holders
accelerated the repayment of borrowings, we may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness. Any acceleration of amounts due
under the FF Notes would likely have a material adverse effect on us, potentially including forcing us into bankruptcy or liquidation.
As a result of these restrictions and default conditions, we may be limited in how we conduct business, unable to raise additional debt
or equity financing to operate during general economic or business downturns, or unable to compete effectively or to take advantage of
new business opportunities.
In addition, we may enter into other credit agreements or other debt
arrangements from time to time which contain similar or more extensive restrictive covenants and events of default, in which case we
may face similar or additional limitations as a result of the terms of those credit agreements or other debt arrangements.
We will need to obtain additional funding
to continue operations. If we fail to obtain the necessary financing or fail to become profitable or are unable to sustain profitability
on a continuing basis, then we may be unable to continue our operations and we may be forced to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue
our operations.
We will require additional capital to fund our
operations, and if we fail to obtain necessary financing, our business plan may not be successful.
Our operations have consumed substantial amounts
of cash since inception, and we expect they will continue to consume substantial amounts of cash as we aggressively build our platform
and our internal marketing, compliance and other administrative functions. We will require additional capital to maintain our business
operations, and we may also need to raise additional funds sooner if our operating and other expenses are higher than we expect.
Our forecast of the period of time through which
our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties,
and actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong,
and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect.
If a lack of available capital means that we
are unable to expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities, our business, financial condition and results
of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Relatively high interest rates may adversely
impact our business.
Due to recent increases in inflation, the U.S.
Federal Reserve has raised its benchmark interest rate. Increases in the federal benchmark rate have resulted in an increase in market
interest rates, which may increase our interest expense and the costs of refinancing any existing indebtedness or obtaining new debt.
Consequently, relatively high interest rates will increase cost of capital and the cost of borrowings for any other corporate purpose.
As a result, if we need or seek significant borrowings and interest rates remain elevated or increase, the cost of such borrowing to
us could be significant, which may have a significant adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our ability to use our net operating loss
carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.
We have incurred net losses since our inception
in 2019, and we may never achieve or sustain profitability. Federal net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards we generated since our
incorporation in September 2021 may be carried forward indefinitely but may only be used to offset 80% of our taxable income annually.
Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,”
generally defined as a greater than 50 percentage point change (by value) in its equity ownership by certain stockholders over a three-year
period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change NOL carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes (such as research
tax credits) to offset its post-change income or taxes may be limited. We have not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change
for purposes of Section 382 or 383 has occurred, or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since our inception. For purposes
of Section 382 or 383, we may have experienced ownership changes in the past and may experience ownership changes in the future as a
result of shifts in our stock ownership (some of which shifts are outside our control). As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our
ability to use our pre-change NOL carryforwards or other pre-change tax attributes to offset such taxable income or the tax thereon will
be subject to limitations. Similar provisions of state tax law may also apply to limit our use of accumulated state tax attributes. Therefore,
if we attain profitability, we may be unable to use a material portion of our NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes, which could
adversely affect our future cash flows.
We are dependent on our management team,
and the loss of any key member of this team may prevent us from implementing our business plan in a timely manner, or at all.
Our success depends largely upon the continued
services of our executive officers and other key personnel, particularly Daniel Nelson, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman; Damon
Rich, our Interim Chief Financial Officer; Jeffry Hecklinski, our President; and Craig Smith, our Secretary and Chief Operating Officer.
Our executive officers or key employees may terminate their employment with us at any time without penalty. In addition, we do not maintain
key person life insurance policies on any of our employees or any of our contract parties. The loss of one or more of these executive
officers or key employees could seriously harm our business and may prevent us from implementing our business plan in a timely manner,
or at all.
Risks Related to This Offering
Substantial future sales or issuances of
our common stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our common stock, or the perception in the public
markets that these sales or issuances may occur, may depress our stock price. Also, future issuances of our common stock or rights to
purchase common stock could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price
to fall. The expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new common stock or the trading of outstanding common stock
could also cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
The conversion or exercise of our outstanding
convertible or exercisable securities and resale of the underlying common stock, and any other future issuances of our common stock or
securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our common stock, would result in a decrease in the ownership percentage
of existing stockholders, i.e., dilution, which may cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We cannot predict the effect,
if any, of future issuances, conversions, or exercises of our securities, on the price of our common stock. In all events, future issuances
of our common stock would result in the dilution of your holdings. In addition, the perception that new issuances of our securities are
likely to occur, or the perception that holders of securities convertible or exercisable for common stock are likely to sell their securities,
could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The effect of such dilution may be magnified as to all shares that are not
or may eventually not be subject to restrictions on resale as enumerated below.
Under the May 2024 FF Note, which has principal
of $412,500 and guaranteed interest of $41,250, the Company may be required to issue up to 1,663,750 shares of common stock upon full
conversion at the initial conversion price of $0.30 per share if the 110% prepayment premium is applicable. Under the June 2024 FF Note,
which has principal of $198,611 and guaranteed interest of $19,861, up to 801,064 shares of common stock will become issuable upon full
conversion at the initial conversion price of $0.30 per share if the 110% prepayment premium is applicable. Each of the FF Notes also
provides that upon a missed amortization payment the conversion price will be reduced to the lesser of the then-applicable conversion
price and 80% of the lowest closing price of the common stock during the ten trading days prior to the date of a conversion. Each of
the FF Notes also provides that upon an FF Notes Event of Default the conversion price will be reduced to the lesser of the then-applicable
conversion price; $0.195 per share; and the closing price of the common stock on the date of the FF Notes Event of Default. In addition,
the FF Notes and the FF Warrants contain full-ratchet anti-dilution and related provisions that will reduce the conversion price and
exercise price to match the price of such lower-priced securities, other than for an Excluded Issuance, and proportionately increase
the number of shares of common stock issuable under these securities. For example, an issuance of securities at a price 25% lower than
the FF Notes Fixed Conversion Price and the exercise price of the First June 2024 FF Warrant and the First May 2024 Warrant, or $0.225
per share, would cause each of the FF Notes and the First June 2024 FF Warrant and the First May 2024 Warrant to become convertible into
or exercisable for approximately 33% more shares of common stock than they were initially convertible into or exercisable to purchase.
In addition, if the Second FF Warrants Trigger Date occurs, then the Second May 2024 FF Warrant and the Second June 2024 FF Warrant will
be exercisable for up to 250,000 and 120,370 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.01 per share, respectively. These
conversion and exercise rights will initially be subject to the FF Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the FF Exchange Limitation (as
defined in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Developments
– June 2024 FirstFire Private Placement – June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement”) prior to the FF Stockholder Approval
(as defined in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Developments
– June 2024 FirstFire Private Placement – June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement”), and restrictions on resale. However,
we are required to take certain measures and generally use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the FF Stockholder Approval to allow
issuances greater than the FF Exchange Cap, and to file one or more registration statements to register the resale of these underlying
shares, which, once effective, will allow such shares to be resold immediately into the public market without restriction.
In addition, we have issued placement agent warrants
to purchase up to 280,804 shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of approximately $1.69 per share. 104,264 of these
shares are being registered for resale by means of this prospectus, subject to the FF Exchange Cap with respect to the FF Placement Agent
Warrant, which will no longer apply if we obtain the FF Stockholder Approval pursuant to the requirements described above. The remaining
shares are issuable pursuant to placement agent warrants that may be subject to piggyback registration rights which may require us to
include them in registration statements filed in other offerings to register the resale of the shares underlying the placement agent
warrants, which, once effective, will allow such shares to be resold immediately into the public market without restriction.
As of July 2, 2024, we have also granted 1,742,841
shares of restricted common stock under the Plan to officers, directors, employees, and consultants that remain outstanding, and options
to purchase 299,333 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options at a weighted-average exercise price of approximately
$2.71 per share. We have filed registration statements on Form S-8 to register the offerings of these shares as well as other shares under
stock options or other equity compensation that may be granted to our officers, directors, employees, and consultants or reserved for
future issuance under the Plan. Subject to the satisfaction of vesting conditions and the expiration of lock-up agreements, all of these
shares registered under the registration statements on Form S-8 will be available for resale immediately in the public market without
restriction other than those restrictions imposed on sales by affiliates pursuant to Rule 144.
In addition, in connection with our initial public
offering in November 2023, we, our executive officers, directors and stockholders holding 5% or more of our shares (as well as holders
of convertible or exercisable securities which convert into or are exercisable into common stock) at that time entered into lock-up agreements
that prevent us and the other locked-up parties, subject to certain exceptions, from offering or selling shares of capital stock for
up to 12 months, from the date on which the trading of our common stock commenced, or November 14, 2023, as to our directors, officers
and security holders, and from the closing date of our initial public offering, or November 16, 2023, as to us. In addition to any adverse
effects that may arise upon the expiration of these lock-up agreements, the lock-up provisions in these agreements may be waived by the
underwriter of our initial public offering, at any time and without notice. If the restrictions under the lock-up agreements are waived,
our common stock may become available for resale, subject to applicable law, including without notice, which could reduce the market
price for our common stock.
Additionally, our employees, executive officers,
and directors may enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans providing for sales of shares of our common stock from time to time. Under a Rule
10b5-1 trading plan, a broker executes trades pursuant to parameters established by the employee, director, or officer when entering
into the plan, without further direction from the employee, officer, or director. A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan may be amended or terminated
in some circumstances. Our employees, executive officers, and directors also may buy or sell additional shares outside of a Rule 10b5-1
trading plan when they are not in possession of material, non-public information, subject to the expiration of the lock-up restrictions
and Rule 144 requirements referred to above. Actual or potential resales of our common stock by our employees, executive officers, and
directors as restrictions end or pursuant to registration rights may make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future
at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. These sales could also cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and
make it more difficult for you to sell shares of our common stock. The market price of shares of our common stock may drop significantly
when the lock-up agreements and other restrictions on resale by our existing stockholders and beneficial owners lapse. The effect of
these grants on the value of your shares may therefore be substantial.
We also expect that significant additional capital
may be needed in the future beyond that raised in this offering to continue our planned operations, including expanding research and
development, hiring new personnel, marketing our products, and continuing activities as an operating public company. To the extent we
raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell common stock,
convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time.
If we sell common stock, convertible securities, or other equity securities in more than one transaction, investors may be materially
diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, and new investors could gain
rights superior to our existing stockholders.
In the event that the market price of shares
of our common stock drops significantly when the restrictions on resale by our existing stockholders lapse, existing stockholders’
dilution might be reduced to the extent that the decline in the price of shares of our common stock impedes our ability to raise capital
through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities. However, in the event that our capital-raising
ability is weakened as a result of a lower stock price, we may be unable to continue to fund our operations, which may further harm the
value of our stock price.
Investors who buy shares at different times
will likely pay different prices.
Investors who purchase shares in this offering
at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their
investment results. The Selling Stockholders may sell the shares being offered by means of this prospectus at different times and at
different prices.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale
of common stock by the Selling Stockholders. We will receive gross proceeds of up to $1,088,583 in aggregate gross proceeds from the
cash exercise of the FF Warrants, the FF Placement Agent Warrant, and the Tumim Placement Agent Warrants.
The Selling Stockholders will pay any underwriting

DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid cash dividends
on our common stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business
and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. Bank line of credit covenants and other restrictive
loan covenants generally prohibit us from paying cash dividends. We may also enter into credit agreements or other borrowing arrangements
in the future that will restrict our ability to declare or pay cash dividends on our common stock. Any future determination to declare
dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital
requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.
See also Item 1A. “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Common Stock – We do not expect to declare or pay dividends
on our common stock in the foreseeable future.” in the 2023 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference herein.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The shares of common stock being offered by the
Selling Stockholders consist of: (i) up to 1,232,407 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the June 2024 FF Note; (ii) up

Warrant; (iv) up to 120,370 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Second June 2024 FF Warrant; (v) up to 2,559,616 shares

of 8,014 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Tumim Placement Agent Warrants. We are registering the shares for resale
in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time and to comply with requirements under the
May 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement and the June 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement.
Except as disclosed below, the Selling Stockholders
have not had any position, office, or other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three
years other than with respect to the ownership of these securities, and, except as disclosed below, based on the information provided
to us by the Selling Stockholders, none of the Selling Stockholders is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance
with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the
persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially
own, subject to applicable community property laws.
The table below lists the Selling Stockholders
and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each of the Selling Stockholders. The second column lists
the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the Selling Stockholders. The third column lists the number of shares
of common stock that may be offered by means of this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders. The fourth column assumes the sale of all
of the shares of common stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Applicable percentage ownership is based on 16,017,086
shares of common stock outstanding as of July 2, 2024. For purposes of computing percentage ownership after this offering, we have assumed
that the FF Notes will be converted into all of the shares of common stock that may be offered by means of this prospectus upon conversion
thereof, that the FF Warrants will be exercised to purchase all of the shares of common stock that may be offered by means of this prospectus
upon exercise thereof, and that the Placement Agent Warrants will be exercised to purchase all of the shares of common stock that may
be offered by means of this prospectus upon exercise thereof. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the
percentage ownership of that person, we deemed to be outstanding all shares subject to warrants, convertible notes, or other exercisable
or convertible securities held by that person that are currently exercisable or convertible or that will become exercisable or convertible
within 60 days of July 2, 2024. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership
of any other person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the FF Notes and the FF Warrants are subject to the FF Beneficial Ownership Limitation,
such that we shall not effect any conversion or exercise of the FF Notes or the FF Warrants, and no holder has the right to convert or
exercise such securities, to the extent that after giving effect to the issuance of common stock upon conversion or exercise thereof,
the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to such conversion or exercise. In addition, the FF Notes, the FF Warrants, and the FF Placement Agent
Warrant will be subject to the FF Exchange Limitation until we obtain the FF Stockholder Approval. Where noted in the footnotes to the
table below, the amount and percentage of common stock beneficially owned listed in the table have been reduced to give effect to the
FF Beneficial Ownership Limitation and the FF Exchange Limitation as applicable.
The number of shares being offered by this prospectus
does not give effect to the FF Beneficial Ownership Limitation or to the FF Exchange Limitation.
The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or
none of the shares being offered in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution”.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees,
assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on any stock exchange,
market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices,
at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the
time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions
and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| ● | block trades in which the broker-dealer
will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| ● | purchases by a broker-dealer as
principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| ● | an exchange distribution in accordance
with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| ● | privately negotiated transactions; |
| ● | settlement of short sales; |
| ● | in transactions through broker-dealers
that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at
a stipulated price per security; |
| ● | through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options
exchange or otherwise; |
| ● | a combination of any such methods
of sale; or |
| ● | any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares
of common stock offered by this prospectus under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available,
rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders
may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders
(or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares of common stock offered by this prospectus, from the purchaser) in
amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction, not in excess
of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with Rule 2121 of FINRA; and in the case of a principal transaction, a markup or markdown
in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
Pursuant to the May
2024 FF Purchase Agreement and the June 2024 FF Purchase Agreement, until the date that the FF Notes are fully repaid or fully converted,
FirstFire will not execute any “short sale” (as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act) of the common
stock which establishes a net short position with respect to the common stock.
Except as described above, in connection
with the sale of shares of common stock offered by this prospectus or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging
transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock
in the course of hedging the positions they assume. Except as described above, the Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of common
stock offered by this prospectus short and deliver these shares to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the shares to broker-dealers
that in turn may sell these shares. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or
other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealers or other financial
institutions of shares of common stock offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealers or other financial institutions may
resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transactions).
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers
or agents that are involved in selling the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers
or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act.
The shares of common stock offered by this prospectus
will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition,
in certain states, the shares of common stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable
state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under
the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus may not simultaneously
engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M,
prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the
common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders
and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including
by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
The June 2024 FF Registration Rights Agreement

requirements. We are also required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities.

liabilities under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other law.

EXPERTS
The financial statements of the Company as of
and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are incorporated into this prospectus by reference in reliance
upon the report incorporated by reference of BARTON CPA, an independent registered public accounting firm (“Barton”), appearing
therein (which contains an explanatory paragraph describing conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as
a going concern as disclosed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements), and upon the authority of said firm
as experts in accounting and auditing.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) audited our
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. On March 6, 2023, Marcum resigned as our independent registered
public accounting firm. The audit report issued by Marcum on January 24, 2023, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of
opinion and was not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles, but included an explanatory paragraph that there
was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Marcum did not provide an audit report on our
financial statements for any period subsequent to December 31, 2021. Marcum has not provided any audit services to the Company subsequent
to January 24, 2023.
During the year ended December 31, 2021 and subsequently
during 2022 and through March 6, 2023, (i) there were no “disagreements” between us and Marcum (as that term is defined in
Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC (“Regulation S-K”) and the related instructions to this item)
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements,
if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in
connection with their report on the financial statements for such period, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as such
term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, other than as described below.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, in connection
with the audit of our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, several material weaknesses in our internal
control over financial reporting were identified. The material weaknesses related to the following: a) Ineffective controls over period
end financial disclosures and reporting process: Due to resource constraints, we have not formally defined internal controls over the
period end financial disclosure and reporting process, including the identification of subsequent events, which increases susceptibility
to fraud or error, and b) Revenue recognition – customer contracts: In connection with Marcum’s testing of revenue, several
test selections did not have documentation such as a corresponding contract or third party written documentation of the customer’s
order.
We provided Marcum with a copy of the foregoing
disclosures and requested Marcum to furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not Marcum agrees with the above
disclosures. A copy of Marcum’s letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
On
March 1, 2023, we engaged Barton as our new independent registered public accounting firm. During the year ended December 31,
2021 and subsequently during 2022 and through March 1, 2023, we (or any person
on our behalf) did not consult with Barton regarding any of the matters described in Items 304(a)(2)(i) or 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation
S-K.

that we filed with the SEC and does not contain all of the information in the registration statement. You should review the information
and exhibits in the registration statement for further information on us and our consolidated subsidiaries and the securities that we
are offering. Statements in this prospectus about these documents are summaries and each statement is qualified in all respects by reference
to the document to which it refers. You should read the actual documents for a more complete description of the relevant matters.
INFORMATION INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
The SEC allows us to incorporate by reference
much of the information that we file with the SEC, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to
those publicly available documents. The information that we incorporate by reference in this prospectus is considered to be part of this
prospectus. Because we are incorporating by reference future filings with the SEC, this prospectus is continually updated and those future
filings may modify or supersede some of the information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This means that you
must look at all of the SEC filings that we incorporate by reference to determine if any of the statements in this prospectus or in any
document previously incorporated by reference have been modified or superseded. This prospectus incorporates by reference the documents
listed below and any future filings we make with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (in each case,

8-K and, except as may be noted in any such Form 8-K, exhibits filed on such form that are related to such information), until the offering
