  • Available Information We file annual, quarterly, and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC.
  • Our SEC filings are available to the public over the Internet at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and are available for download, free of charge, when such reports are filed with or furnished to the SEC, on the “Investors”– “Financials”– “SEC Filings” page of our website at https://forum-markets.com.
  • Copies of documents filed by us with the SEC are also available from us without charge, upon oral or written request to our General Counsel, who can be contacted at the address and telephone number set forth on the cover page of this Report.
  • The information on, or that may be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this Report and should not be considered a part of this Report.
  • We use, and will continue to use, our website (https://forum-markets.com), press releases and various social media channels, including our X account (x.com/forummarkets) and our LinkedIn account (https://www.linkedin.com/company/forummarkets/), as additional means of disclosing public information to investors, the media and others interested in the Company.
  • It is possible that certain information that we post on our website, disseminated in press releases and on social media could be deemed to be material information, and we encourage investors, the media and others interested in the Company to review the business and financial information that we post on our website and disseminate in press releases and on the social media channels identified above, as such information could be deemed to be material information.
  • The contents on our website and our social media channels are not incorporated by reference into this Report and should not be considered a part of this Report.
  • Ownership of our securities involves a high degree of risk.
  • You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this Report, including our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and “Item 7.
  • Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The following discussion highlights material risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, prospects and the trading price of our common stock.
  • Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.
  • If any of the risks actually occur, our business could be materially harmed and the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
  • Risks Related to Holding Digital Assets and Our Tokenization Strategies Our business strategy has a limited operating history and volatility in the price of our tokenized securities could materially and adversely affect our financial results and the market price of our common stock.
  • Our business strategy has a limited operating history and may not perform as we expect across different market conditions.
  • If we are unable to execute our RWA tokenization due to limitations of availability of capital, our financial condition, results of operations, and the market price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected.
  • Our ability to pursue this strategy also depends, in significant part, on our ability to raise capital on acceptable terms.
  • In addition, our tokenized securities may experience significant price volatility and limited liquidity, particularly because our tokenization activities are at an early stage and secondary-market infrastructure for tokenized securities has limited operating history.
  • We have limited experience developing and commercializing tokenized products, and we may not be able to launch, scale, or generate material revenues from tokenization activities on a timely basis or at all.
  • The trading price of our tokenized securities may be affected by, among other things, market acceptance, liquidity and price discovery, the availability and reliability of relevant market infrastructure and intermediaries, and regulatory developments, and may fluctuate for reasons unrelated to our operating performance.
  • If we are unable to successfully execute our tokenization strategy, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be materially adversely affected.
  • We face risks relating to the custody of our Digital Assets, including concentration with one or more custodians, limits on insurance coverage, and adverse outcomes in insolvency proceedings.
  • We hold our digital assets with regulated custodians that have contractual duties to safeguard our private keys.
  • Our custodial services contracts do not restrict our ability to reallocate our digital assets among our custodians, and our digital asset holdings may be concentrated with a single custodian from time to time.
  • In light of the significant amount of digital assets we hold, we may seek to engage additional custodians to achieve a greater degree of diversification in the custody of our digital assets as the extent of potential risk of loss is dependent, in part, on the degree of diversification.
  • If there is a decrease in the availability of digital asset custodians that we believe can safely custody our digital assets, for example, due to regulatory developments or enforcement actions that cause custodians to discontinue or limit their services in the United States, we may need to enter into agreements that are less favorable than our current agreements or take other measures to custody our digital assets, and our ability to seek a greater degree of diversification in the use of custodial services would be materially adversely affected.
  • Any insurance that we may have or may obtain covering losses of our digital asset holdings may cover none or only a small fraction of the value of the entirety of our digital asset holdings, and there can be no guarantee that such insurance will be maintained as part of the custodial services we have or that such coverage will cover losses with respect to our digital assets.
  • Moreover, our use of custodians exposes us to the risk that the digital assets our custodians hold on our behalf could be subject to insolvency proceedings and we could be treated as a general unsecured creditor of the custodian, inhibiting our ability to exercise ownership rights with respect to such digital assets.
  • Any loss associated with such insolvency proceedings is unlikely to be covered by any insurance coverage we maintain related to our digital assets.
  • The legal framework governing digital asset ownership and rights in custodial or insolvency contexts remains uncertain and continues to evolve, which could result in unexpected losses, protracted recovery processes or adverse treatment in insolvency proceedings.
  • If we were deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, applicable restrictions likely would make it impractical for us to continue our business as currently conducted.
  • Under the Investment Company Act, a company generally will be considered an investment company if it primarily invests in securities or if it owns more than 40% of its total assets in securities.
  • Although we do not believe we meet these tests, a substantial portion of our assets are digital assets, including ETH, which currently represent more than 40% of our total assets.
  • In addition, we plan to tokenize RWAs and have acquired minority interests in several other companies.
  • While we do not currently consider these assets to be “investment securities” under the Investment Company Act, there is a risk that the SEC or another regulatory authority could treat some or all of these assets as securities for these purposes.
  • If any of these assets were deemed to be investment securities, our ownership could exceed the thresholds for investment company status, which could require us to take actions to dispose of assets, restrict our operations, or otherwise alter our business strategy.
  • Reliance on available exemptions or safe harbors under the Investment Company Act, may not be available when needed and could require us to limit certain business activities, including tokenization projects or holding minority interests.
  • Because the rules governing digital assets, tokenized assets, and minority investments are uncertain and evolving, there can be no assurance that we will not be deemed to be an investment company in the future.
  • Being classified as an investment company could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
  • Volatility in the price of our tokenized securities could materially adversely affect our financial results and the market price of our common stock.
  • If we are unable to execute our RWA tokenization strategy due to limitations of availability of capital, our financial condition, results of operations, and prospects and the market price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected.

  • Summary Risk Factors We face risks and uncertainties related to our business, many of which are beyond our control.
  • In particular, risks associated with our business include: Risks Relating to Successfully Monetizing Existing Biotech IP As we are no longer developing or conducting studies regarding our SCA asset and ATNF IP, we may not be able to successfully monetize such assets or intellectual property.
  • Risks Relating to Our Need For Additional Funding ● Our current cash balance is only expected to be sufficient to fund our planned business operations until approximately December 2025 and we need additional capital which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, or may cause dilution, which raises questions about our ability to continue as a going concern.
  • Our accounts payable are significant, and we do not currently have sufficient funds to pay such accounts payable, all of which are past due. ● We may not receive any additional amounts under our pre-merger directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in connection with certain litigation matters and may be forced to repay $2.57 million previously received.

  • We may never become profitable or, if achieved, be able to sustain profitability.

  • Risks Relating to Our Plans to Allow Players to Deposit and Withdraw Cryptocurrency Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and other digital assets are novel assets, and are subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty.
  • We may be subject to regulatory developments related to crypto assets and crypto asset markets, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. ● Our digital asset holdings are expected to be less liquid and more volatile than our existing cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents.
  • The characteristics of crypto assets have been, and may in the future continue to be, exploited to facilitate illegal activity such as fraud, money laundering, tax evasion and ransomware scams; all of which may have an adverse effect on the market for, and regulation of, crypto assets, and our operations. ● Incorrect or fraudulent digital asset transactions may be irreversible.
  • The decentralized nature of crypto asset systems may lead to slow or inadequate responses to crises, which may negatively affect our business.
  • Risks Related to Our Business Operations ● Our results of operations may be adversely affected by fluctuations in currency values, inflation, and/or economic uncertainty. ● We depend on our key personnel and our ability to attract and retain employees.
  • Our officers and directors may have conflicts of interest. ● We may enter into strategic transactions in the future which may result in a material change in our operations and/or a change of control.
  • Risks Relating to Our Life Sciences Operations ● We may be unable to monetize our existing life science assets. ● Our License Agreements with the University of Oxford and other licensors may be terminated in certain circumstances without our consent.
  • Risks Relating to Our Ineffective Disclosure Controls and Procedures We have in the past, and may in the future, identify material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
  • Risks Related to our Intellectual Property We may not be able to adequately protect our future product candidates or our proprietary technology in the marketplace.
  • Risks Related to our Securities ● We currently have an illiquid and volatile market for our common stock, and the market for our common stock is and may remain illiquid and volatile in the future.
  • Elray Resources, Inc., beneficially owns a significant percentage of our voting stock and as such exercises significant voting control over us, which limits other stockholders’ abilities to influence corporate matters and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control. ● The exercise of the outstanding options and warrants, and the sale of common stock upon exercise thereof, may adversely affect the trading price of our securities.
  • General Risk Factors ● Global economic conditions could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth. ● Our proprietary information, or that of our customers, suppliers and business partners, may be lost or we may suffer security breaches.
  • Failure of our information technology systems, including cybersecurity attacks or other data security incidents, could significantly disrupt the operation of our business. ● If we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business. ● We also face other risks and uncertainties, including those described below.
  • You should be aware that there are substantial risks for an investment in our common stock.
  • You should carefully consider these risk factors before you decide to invest in our common stock.
  • If any of the following risks were to occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or other prospects, could be materially adversely affected, and the occurrence of any of these risks could materially affect our likelihood of success.
  • If that happens, the market price of our common stock, if any, could decline, and prospective investors would lose all or part of their investment in our common stock.

  • This section discusses factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results.
  • Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks.
  • It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors.
  • Consequently, the following description of Risk Factors is not a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties applicable to our business.
  • Risks Relating to Our Need For Additional Funding Our current cash balance is only expected to be sufficient to fund our planned business operations until approximately December 2025.
  • If additional capital is not available, we may not be able to pursue our planned business operations, may be forced to change our planned business operations, or may take other actions that could adversely impact our stockholders, including seeking bankruptcy protection.
  • We are a clinical stage biotechnology company that is transitioning into the iGaming industry via the acquisition of the Gaming Technology Platform, which platform currently has no revenue.
  • Thus, our business does not generate the cash necessary to finance our planned business operations.
  • We will require significant additional capital to: (i) protect our intellectual property; (ii) attract and retain highly-qualified personnel; (iii) respond effectively to competitive pressures; and (iv) acquire complementary businesses or technologies.
  • Our future capital needs depend on many factors, including: (i) the scope, duration and expenditures associated with our research, development and commercialization efforts as they relate to iGaming; (ii) the outcome of potential partnering or licensing transactions, if any; (iii) competing technological developments with regards to our iGaming platform; and (iv) protecting and supporting our proprietary patent positions.
  • We will need to raise substantial additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or strategic alliances and licensing arrangements to finance our planned business operations.
  • We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all.
  • General market conditions, rising interest rates and inflation, as well as global conflicts such as the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and Israel and Hamas, may make it difficult for us to seek financing from the capital markets, and the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders.
