The Company anticipates that the financial statements to be included in the subject report will reflect revenues of approximately €1.8 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of approximately €1.6 million, or 1001%, from €0.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. This anticipated change is primarily due to the Company's business model transition from the provision of consultancy services for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, to acquiring and operating professional sports teams for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and the associated advertising and sponsorships, ticketing, grants and player transfer fees.

This anticipated change is primarily due to the Company's business model transition and the costs associated with athletes and staff, advertising and marketing expenses, lease expenses and transportation and accommodation.

The Company anticipates that the financial statements to be included in the subject report will reflect operating losses of approximately €2.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of approximately €1.7 million, or 137%, from €1.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. This anticipated change is primarily due to the Company's business model transition and the associated costs referenced above.
