Continuing operations for the year ended March 31, 2024

 

We expect to report $0.3 million of revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 (“FY 2024”) and had no revenue in fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 (“FY 2023”) as we commenced operations of BitNile.com, Inc. (“BNC”), RiskOn360, Inc. and GuyCare, Inc. in March 2023, November 2023 and January 2024, respectively. Gross loss is expected to be $2 million in FY 2024 compared to $0 in FY 2023. Cost of revenues for FY 2024 is estimated to be approximately $2 compared to $0 in 2023.

 

FY 2024 we expect our operating loss to increase by $31 million, from $6 million in FY 2023. The increase from the prior year is primarily related to the estimated increase of higher selling, general and administration expense, impairment loss on intangible assets, coupled with salaries, wages and benefits and gross loss increases of $22 million, $4 million, $3 million and $2 million, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was mainly driven by increased marketing, advertising and event sponsorship of $17 million, Metaverse platform hosting fees of $4 million and capital raising costs of $1 million. The impairment increase of $4 million is primarily due to our tradename intangible asset being impaired due to a decrease in expected cashflows and the increase in salaries, wages and benefits of $3 million which resulted from increased headcount, related payroll expenses and employee benefits.

 

We estimate our loss from continuing operations FY 2024 will be $25 million compared to $34 million in FY 2023. The expected decrease of $9 million is primarily due the loss on acquisition of BNC of $55 million, the change in fair value of the White River Energy Corp investment of $21 million in FY 2023 and the gain in FY 2024 on conversion of notes and White River shares of $3 million, partially offset by the increase in operating loss of $31 million, the change in fair value of derivative liabilities and derivative income of $23 million, the White River Energy Corp share transfer expense of $8 million, the amortization of discounts of $6 million and the loss on redemption of Series A preferred stock of $2 million in FY 2024.
