ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INDUSTRY DATA

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These forward-looking statements contain information about our expectations, beliefs, plans or intentions regarding our product development and commercialization efforts, research and development efforts, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies and prospects, and other similar matters. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions about future events, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. These statements may be identified by words such as "expects," "plans," "projects," "will," "may," "anticipates," "believes," "should," "intends," "estimates," "hopes" and other words of similar meaning.

Actual results could differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements, including those matters discussed below. Readers are urged to read the risk factors set forth in our recent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and in other documents we file with the SEC from time to time.

Other unknown or unpredictable factors that could also adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations may arise from time to time. Given these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking statements discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not prove to be accurate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which only reflect the views of our management as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any public statements or disclosures by us following this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be deemed to modify or supersede such statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results or expectations, except as required by law.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include market data and certain industry data and forecasts, which we may obtain from internal company surveys, market research, consultant surveys, publicly available information, reports of governmental agencies and industry publications, articles and surveys. Industry surveys, publications, consultant surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. While we believe that such studies and publications are reliable, we have not independently verified market and industry data from third-party sources.

LIVE CURRENT MEDIA, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 - unaudited

---

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements based on assumptions about our future business. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including but not limited to those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this report.

Live Current Media Inc. (the "Company", "we", "us" or "our"") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 10, 1995.

On January 20, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Evasyst Inc. ("Evasyst") and the Company's wholly owned subsidiary formed for the purpose of completing the transactions set out in the Merger Agreement, Evasyst Acquisition Inc. ("LIVC Sub"). On April 22, 2022, the merger was completed. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Evasyst (the "Evasyst Acquisition") by means of a reverse acquisition, whereby LIVC Submerged with and into LIVC Sub, with LIVC Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). Upon completion of the Merger all of the outstanding shares of Evasyst's common stock were converted into the right to receive a total of 125,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock and each share of LIVC Sub's common stock outstanding were converted into one share of Evasyst common stock. Upon completion of the Merger, the board of directors of the Company now consists of Mark Ollila (Chairman), David Jeffs, Justin Weissberg, Leslie S. Klinger, Annamaria Rapakko and Heidi Steiger. Mr. Ollila was appointed the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with Mr. Jeffs maintaining his previous roles as the President and Secretary of the Company and Steve Smith has been appointed as CFO of the Company.

Evasyst is a digital technology company operating the social video streaming application "Kast". Users of Kast can host public or private watch parties with friends on their PC, Mac, web or mobile device. Kast's technology allows for the creation of intimate private watch parties that scales with millions of users.

Prior to the Merger, the Company was a digital technology company primarily involved in the development of two game apps, SPRT MTRX and Trivia Matrix. Subsequent to the Merger, the Company intends to focus its business resources primarily on the development of its Kast business and also expects to continue the development of SPRT MTRX and Trivia Matrix.

During fiscal 2022 and 2023, the Company intends to focus on increasing its consumer revenue streams through marketing designed to attract new users as well as negotiating content licensing arrangements to add value to the Kast video streaming service and encourage more subscribed users. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve its revenue goals or to otherwise increase revenues during the next 12 months, if ever. As the Company's business is still developing, and it is still in the process of establishing itself in the social media and gaming app marketplaces, any revenues that the Company generates are likely to be subject to significant fluctuations and may be difficult to reliably predict.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with Evasyst being treated as the acquiring entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes. As such, the Company's financial statements are presented as a continuation of the operations of Evasyst and not Live Current Media Inc. The operations of Live Current Media Inc. are included in the consolidated financial statements for the Company from the effective date of the Merger, April 22, 2022.

The following selected financial data was derived from the Company's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. The information set forth below should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Revenue

The Company earns revenues from subscription-based services from its users. Subscription services revenue is comprised of cloud-based subscription fees that provide the paying user the right to access the platform's preferred features as a "Premium User" for a period of time. The subscription contracts may be made on a monthly or annual option, beginning on the date that access is made available to the customer. Monthly subscription contracts are billed monthly, and annual subscription contracts are billed annually, all in advance. The contracts do not have a significant financing component and customer invoices are paid upfront.

The Company earned revenues of $75,402 during the three months ending September 30, 2022 as compared to revenue of $116,821 for the three months ending September 30, 2021, a decrease of $41,419. Revenue decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period ended 2021 as a result of reduced content on the platform, including Public Parties and Kast TV.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $1,421,529 compared with $114,285 prior period. The increase is due to Professional Services and Wages and Salaries increases as most of the Company's current employees and professional consultants began April 1, 2022, resulting in approximately $686,000 in expenses for the period. General and Administrative costs increased for the period with insurance and other operating expenses.

Other income (expense)

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $148,780 compared to $30,589 in the three months ended September 30, 2021 due to convertible notes entered into in February and March 2022.

Net Loss

The Company recorded a net loss of $1,481,923 for the period compared with $27,299 in the prior comparable period.

Net loss		$	(4,260,619	)	$	(296,502	)	$	(3,964,117	)

Revenue

The Company earned revenues of $230,372 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to revenue of $350,818 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $120,446. Revenue decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the prior period as a result of reduced content on the platform, including Public Parties and Kast TV.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $4,108,775 are abnormally high for the Company ($816,921 prior period). The sharp increase in operating expenses is related to the merger transaction with Live Current Media and some related consulting and officer compensations, and reigniting operations on April 1, 2022 with new team members and software engineers.

• $613,250 in one-time consulting expenses Q1 2022.
• $964,000 in one-time officer compensations Q1 2022.
• $686,000 in personnel related expenses Q2 2022.
• $1,626,641 in payroll expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $nil prior period.
• $1,626,640 in professional consulting and legal services for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $140,775 prior period.

An impairment of the right to use asset of $354,895 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 is due to the Company abandoning its office lease in early 2021.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a gain on settlement of the Company's office lease of $399,230 was recorded which resulted from settling with the lessor of its former office space. The settlement of $180,000 was less than the amount the Company had previously accrued as rent expense and as the related operating lease liability.

Other income (expense)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a gain on forgiveness of its PPP loan of $265,952. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $371,960 compared to $95,207 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the new convertible notes entered into in February and March 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Going concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has not achieved profitable operations and has incurred recurring operating losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $4,260,619 and used cash in operating activities of $2,719,002. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue operating as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

---

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain the necessary financing to further develop its business. To date, the Company has funded operations through the issuance of capital stock and debt. Management plans to continue raising additional funds through equity or debt financings and loans from directors. There is no certainty that further funding will be available as needed. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments hat might result from the outcome of this uncertainty should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

At September 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $41,436 and negative working capital of $2,447,068, a decrease from the Company's negative working capital of $943,679 at December 31, 2021.

Secured Note Transaction

On February 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Mercer Street Global Opportunity Fund LLC ("Mercer") pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Mercer, for gross proceeds of up to $2,500,000, Original Issue Discount Senior Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Secured Notes") having an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,700,000 and warrants (the "Secured Note Warrants") to purchase up to 5,955,882 shares of the Company's common stock in two tranches (the "Secured Note Transaction").

Under the first tranche under the Purchase Agreement, which closed upon signing of the Purchase Agreement, for gross proceeds of $1,500,000, the Company issued Secured Notes (the "First Secured Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $1,620,000 and the Secured Note Warrants (the "First Secured Note Warrants") to purchase up to 3,573,529 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock"). The Secured Notes mature 24 months after issuance, bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.34 per share, subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, stock combinations and dilutive share issuances.

The Company may prepay the Secured Notes (i) at any time during the first 90 days following closing at the face value of the Secured Notes, (ii) at any time during the period from 91 to 180 days following closing at a premium of 110% of the face value of the Secured Notes, and (iii) thereafter at 120% of the face value of the Secured Notes. The Secured Notes contain a number of customary events of default. Additionally, the Secured Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company, including a lien on and security interest in all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, pursuant to a security agreement that was entered into in connection with the issuance of the Secured Notes (the "Security Agreement").

The Secured Note Warrants are exercisable at an initial exercise price of $0.60 per share for a term ending on the 5-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Secured Note Warrants is subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, stock combinations and dilutive share issuances.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, for gross proceeds of $1,000,000 the Company and Mercer may close a second tranche for an additional Secured Note having an aggregate principal amount of $1,080,000 (the "Second Secured Note") and additional Secured Note Warrants to purchase up to 2,382,353 shares of Common Stock (the "Second Secured Note Warrants"). There is no assurance that a second tranche will be completed or that the Second Secured Note and the Second Secured Note Warrants will be sold under the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the Secured Note Transaction, the Company paid to registered broker dealers a cash fee of $120,000 and issued an aggregate of 221,402 shares of Common Stock at a deemed price of $0.281 per share. If a second tranche is completed under the Purchase Agreement, the Company will pay a further cash fee equal to 8% of the funds raised in the second tranche, plus shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to 4% of the funds raised in the second tranche divided by the last closing price of the Common Stock prior to closing of the second tranche.

March 2022 Notes

On March 28, 2022, for gross proceeds of $886,000, the Company issued Original Issue Discount Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Unsecured Notes") having an original principal amount equal to $956,880 and warrants (the "Unsecured Note Warrants") to purchase up to 2,110,763 shares of Common Stock (the "March Private Placement").

---

The Unsecured Notes are unsecured, mature 24 months after issuance, bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.34 per share, subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, stock combinations and dilutive share issuances. The Company may prepay the Unsecured Notes (i) at any time during the first 90 days following closing at the face value of the Unsecured Notes, (ii) at any time during the period from 91 to 180 days following closing at a premium of 110% of the face value of the Unsecured Notes, and (iii) thereafter at 120% of the face value of the Unsecured Notes. The Unsecured Notes contain a number of customary events of default.

The Unsecured Note Warrants are exercisable at an initial exercise price of $0.60 per share for a term ending on the 5-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The exercise price of the Unsecured Note Warrants is subject to adjustment for certain stock splits, stock combinations and dilutive share issuances.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to shareholders.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates and, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted. Significant estimates include those related to assumptions used in valuing assets acquired in business acquisitions, impairment testing of goodwill and other long-term assets, assumptions used in valuing stock-based compensation, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities, and assumptions used in the determination of the Company's liquidity. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue based on contracts with customers. A customer contract exists when both parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, each party's rights can be identified, payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable the Company will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it is entitled. The Company derives revenue primarily from subscription- based services. Revenues are recognized when control of these services is transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill (Provisional)

At September 30, 2022, the Company is in the process of finalizing the allocation of the consideration to net assets acquired in relation to the reverse acquisition between Live Current and Evasyst, including determining the fair value of domain names, and licensing agreements that were acquired. Excess consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired will be assigned to goodwill. At September 30, 2022, management concluded that there were no impairment triggering events. If economic uncertainty increases and/or the global economy worsens, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations may be sufficiently impacted to result in future impairment charges in the short-term. Management will continue to monitor the effects that macroeconomic conditions have on its business and operations, and will review impairment indicators to the extent necessary in the upcoming months.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. Stock option grants, which are generally time or performance vested, are measured at the grant date fair value and depending on the conditions associated with the vesting of the award, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line or graded basis over the vesting period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life, and future dividends. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting policies.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the President and Principal Executive Officer ("PEO") and Principal Financial Officer ("PFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(e) and Rule 15d - 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the PEO and the PFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as it was determined that there were material weaknesses affecting our disclosure controls and procedures.

Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company's accounting staff. The small size of the Company's accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As the Company grows, management expects to increase the number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework. During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

None.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings during the interim period ended September 30, 2022.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.

An investment in the Company's common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and in other reports filed by the Company before investing in our common stock. Before making a decision to invest in the Company's securities, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the risks described under "Risk Factors" in any applicable prospectus supplement and the risks described in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, or any updates to our risk factors described in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Risks Related to the Company's Business

Our Efforts to Attract and Retain Users may not be Successful. We have experienced significant user growth over the past several years. Our ability to continue to attract users will depend in part on our ability to effectively market our service, consistently provide our users with compelling content choices, as well as a quality experience for selecting and viewing factual entertainment. Furthermore, the relative service levels, content offerings, pricing and related features of competitors to our service may adversely impact our ability to attract and retain users. Competitors include other entertainment video providers, such as Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (MVPDs) and Subscription Video on Demand (SvoD) services. If consumers do not perceive our service offering to be of value, including if we introduce new or adjust existing features, adjust pricing or service offerings or change the mix of content in a manner that is not favorably received by them, we may not be able to attract and retain users. In addition, we believe that many of our users rejoin our service or originate from word-of-mouth advertising from existing users. If our efforts to satisfy our existing users are not successful, we may not be able to attract users, and as a result, our ability to maintain and/or grow our business will be adversely affected. Users may cancel our service for many reasons, including: a perception that they do not use the service sufficiently, the need to cut household expenses, selection of content is unsatisfactory, competitive services provide a better value or experience and customer service issues are not satisfactorily resolved. Membership growth is also impacted by seasonality, with the first quarter historically representing our greatest growth, also affecting the timing of our content release schedules. We must continually add new users both to replace cancelled users and to grow our business beyond our current user base. If we do not grow as expected, we may not be able to adjust our expenditures or increase our per user revenues commensurate with the lowered growth rate, such that our margins, liquidity and results of operations may be adversely impacted, and our ability to operate may be strained. If we are unable to successfully compete with current and new competitors in both retaining our existing users and attracting new users, our business will be adversely affected. Further, if excessive numbers of users cancel our service, we may be required to incur significantly higher marketing expenditures than we currently anticipate to replace these users with new users.

Operating Results are Likely to Fluctuate Significantly. We expect our operating results to fluctuate significantly in the future based on a variety of factors, many of which are outside our control and difficult to predict. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of our operating results may not be a good indicator of our future or long-term performance. The following factors may affect us from period-to-period and may affect our long-term performance:

Managing Growth. We have expanded rapidly since we launched our subscription service in March 2020 We anticipate that further expansion of our operations will be required to achieve significant growth in our products, lines of business and user base and to take advantage of favorable market opportunities. Any future expansion will likely place significant demands on our managerial, operational, administrative and financial resources. If we are not able to respond effectively to new or increased demands that arise because of our growth, or, if in responding, our management is materially distracted from our current operations, our business may be adversely affected. In addition, if we do not have sufficient breadth and depth of content necessary to satisfy increased demand arising from growth in our user base, our user satisfaction may be adversely affected.

We are continuing to expand our operations internationally, scaling our service to effectively and reliably handle anticipated growth in both users and features related to our service and ramping up our ability to produce original content. As our offerings evolve, we are managing and adjusting our business to address varied content offerings, consumer customs and practices, different technology infrastructure, different markets for factual video content, as well as differing legal and regulatory environments. As we scale our service, we are developing technology and utilizing third-party "cloud" computing services. As we ramp up our original content production, we are building out expertise in a number of disciplines, including creative, marketing, legal, finance, licensing and other resources related to the development and physical production of content. If we are not able to manage the growing complexity of our business, including improving, refining or revising our systems and operational practices related to our operations and original content, our business may be adversely affected.

Costs and Challenges Associated with Strategic Acquisitions and Investments. From time to time, we acquire or invest in businesses, content, and technologies that support our business. The risks associated with such acquisitions or investments include the difficulty of integrating solutions, operations, and personnel; inheriting liabilities and exposure to litigation; failure to realize anticipated benefits and expected synergies; and diversion of management's time and attention, among other acquisition-related risks. We may not be successful in overcoming such risks, and such acquisitions and investments may negatively impact our business.

In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of companies we acquire may be allocated to acquire goodwill, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. If our acquisitions do not yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to our operating results based on this impairment assessment process. Acquisitions also could result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our operating results.

Furthermore, if we do not integrate an acquired business successfully and in a timely manner, we may not realize the benefits of the acquisition to the extent anticipated. If an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our operating results, business and financial condition may suffer. Acquisitions and investments may contribute to fluctuations in our quarterly financial results. These fluctuations could arise from transaction-related costs and charges associated with eliminating redundant expenses or write-offs of impaired assets recorded in connection with acquisitions and investments, which could negatively impact our financial results.

Certain of Our Growth Strategies are Untested, Unproven or not yet fully Developed. We intend to increase our revenues through expanding our subscriber base by, among other things, continuing to expand into international markets, expanding into the mobile video market. There can be no assurance that these international partnerships will be successful or result in our meeting revenue targets.

---

If We Experience Excessive Rates of User Churn, Our Revenues and Business will be Harmed. In order to increase our revenues, we must minimize the rate of loss of existing users while adding new users to our Kast subscription service. Our experience during our operating history indicates that there are many variables that impact churn, including the type of plan selected, user engagement with the platform and length of a user's subscription to date. As a result, in periods of rapid user growth, we believe that our average churn is likely to increase as the average length of subscription to date decreases. Similarly, in periods of slow user growth, we believe that our average churn is likely to decrease since our average user duration is longer. However, these estimates are subject to change based on a number of factors, including the percentage of users selecting monthly vs. annual plans, increased rates of subscription cancellations and decreased rates of user acquisition. We cannot assure you that these estimates will be indicative of future performance or that the risks related to these estimates will not materialize. Users may cancel their subscription to our service for many reasons, including, among others, a perception that they do not use the service sufficiently, or the belief that the service is a poor value or that customer service issues are not satisfactorily resolved. We must continually add new users both to replace users who cancel and to continue to grow our business beyond our current user base. If too many of our users cancel our service, or if we are unable to attract new users in numbers sufficient to grow our business, our operating results will be adversely affected. Further, if excessive numbers of users cancel our service, we may be required to incur significantly higher marketing expenditures than we currently anticipate in order to replace these users with new users.

Risks Connected with Content We Acquire, Produce, License and/or Distribute, such as Unforeseen Costs and Potential Liability. As a producer and distributor of content, we face potential liability for negligence, copyright and trademark infringement, or other claims based on the nature and content of materials that we acquire, produce, license and/or distribute. We also may face potential liability for content used in promoting our service, including marketing materials. We are devoting more resources toward the development, production, marketing and distribution of original programming. We believe that original programming can help differentiate our service from other offerings, enhance our brand and otherwise attract and retain users. To the extent our original programming does not meet our expectations, in particular, in terms of costs, viewing and popularity, our business, including our brand and results of operations, may be adversely impacted. As we expand our original programming, we have become responsible for production costs and other expenses. We also take on risks associated with production, such as completion risk. To the extent we create and sell physical or digital merchandise relating to our original programming, and/or license such rights to third parties, we could become subject to product liability, intellectual property or other claims related to such products. We may decide to remove content from our service, not to place licensed or produced content on our service or discontinue or alter production of original content if we believe such content might not be well received by our users or could be damaging to our brand.

To the extent we do not accurately anticipate costs or mitigate risks, including for content that we obtain but ultimately does not appear on or is removed from our service, or if we become liable for content we acquire, produce, license and/or distribute, our business may suffer. Litigation to defend these claims could be costly and the expenses and damages arising from any liability or unforeseen production risks could harm our results of operations. We may not be indemnified against claims or costs of these types and we may not have insurance coverage for these types of claims.

Payment Processing Risks. Our users pay for our service using a variety of different payment methods, including credit and debit cards, gift cards, direct debit and online wallets. We rely on third parties to process payment. Acceptance and processing of these payment methods are subject to certain rules and regulations and require payment of interchange and other fees. To the extent there are disruptions in our payment processing systems, increases in payment processing fees, material changes in the payment ecosystem, such as large re-issuances of payment cards, delays in receiving payments from payment processors and/or changes to rules or regulations concerning payment processing, our revenue, operating expenses and results of operation could be adversely impacted. In addition, the recent military invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces and the economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other nations on Russia, Belarus and certain Russian organizations and individuals may disrupt payments we receive for distribution of our content in Russian territories. In certain instances, we leverage third parties such as our MVPDs and other partners to bill subscribers on our behalf. If these third parties become unwilling or unable to continue processing payments on our behalf, we would have to find alternative methods of collecting payments, which could adversely impact user acquisition and retention. In addition, from time to time, we encounter fraudulent use of payment methods, which could impact our results of operation and if not adequately controlled and managed could create negative perceptions of our service.

If We Fail to Maintain or, in Newer Markets Establish, a Positive Reputation with Consumers Concerning Our Service, Including the Content We Offer, We may not be Able to Attract or Retain Users, and Our Operating Results may be Adversely Affected. We believe that a positive reputation with consumers concerning our service is important in attracting and retaining users who have many choices when it comes to where to obtain video entertainment. To the extent our content is perceived as low quality, offensive or otherwise not compelling to consumers, our ability to establish and maintain a positive reputation may be adversely impacted. To the extent our content is deemed controversial or offensive by government regulators, we may face direct or indirect retaliatory action or behavior, including being required to remove such content from our service, and our entire service could be banned and/or become subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny across our business and operations. In light of the recent military invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces and the economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other nations on Russia, Belarus and certain Russian organizations and individuals, our contracts to sell and distribute our content to Russian distributors in Russian territories may cast us in a negative light with consumers, governmental authorities, business partners or other stakeholders and injure our reputation. Furthermore, to the extent our marketing, customer service and public relations efforts are not effective or result in negative consumer reaction, our ability to establish and maintain a positive reputation may likewise be adversely impacted. Lastly, to the extent we suffer any security vulnerabilities, bugs, errors or other performance failures, our ability to establish and maintain a positive reputation may be adversely impacted. With newer markets, we also need to establish our reputation with consumers and to the extent we are not successful in creating positive impressions, our business in these newer markets may be adversely impacted.

Risks Associated with the Company's eSports and Gaming Business

Licensing. Currently, other than business and operations licenses applicable to most commercial ventures, the Company is not required to obtain any governmental approval for its business operations. There can be no assurance, however, that governmental institutions will not, in the future, impose licensing or other requirements on the Company. Additionally, as noted below, there are a variety of laws and regulations that may, directly or indirectly, have an impact on the Company's business.

Privacy Legislation and Regulations. While the Company is not currently subject to licensing requirements, entities engaged in operations over the Internet, particularly relating to the collection of user information, are subject to limitations on their ability to utilize such information under federal and state legislation and regulation. In 2000, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act required that the collection of identifiable information regarding users of financial services be subject to stringent disclosure and "opt-out" provisions. While this law and the regulations enacted by the Federal Trade Commission and others relates primarily to information relating to financial transactions and financial institutions, the broad definitions of those terms may make the businesses entered into by the Company and its strategic partners subject to the provisions of the Act. This, in turn, may increase the cost of doing business and make it unattractive to collect and transfer information regarding users of services. This, in turn, may reduce the revenues of the Company and its strategic partners, thus reducing potential revenues and profitability. Similarly, the Children On-line Privacy and Protection Act ("COPPA") imposes strict limitations on the ability of Internet ventures to collect information from minors. The impact of COPPA may be to increase the cost of doing business on the Internet and reducing potential revenue sources. The Company may also be impacted by the US Patriot Act, which requires certain companies to collect and provide information to United States governmental authorities. A number of state governments have also proposed or enacted privacy legislation that reflects or, in some cases, extends the limitations imposed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and COPPA. These laws may further impact the cost of doing business on the Internet and the attractiveness of Live Current's inventory of domain names.

Advertising Regulations. In response to concerns regarding "spam" (unsolicited electronic messages), "pop-up" web pages and other Internet advertising, the federal government and a number of states have adopted or proposed laws and regulations which would limit the use of unsolicited Internet advertisements. While a number of factors may prevent the effectiveness of such laws and regulations, the cumulative effect may be to limit the attractiveness of effecting and promoting sales on the Internet, thus reducing the value of the Company's advertising driven revenue model.

There are currently few laws or regulations that specifically regulate communications or commerce on the Internet. However, laws and regulations may be adopted in the future that address issues such as user privacy, pricing and the characteristics and quality of products and services. For example, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 sought to prohibit transmitting various types of information and content over the Internet. Several telecommunications companies have petitioned the Federal Communications Commission to regulate Internet service providers and on-line service providers in a manner similar to long distance telephone carriers and to impose access fees on those companies. This could increase the cost of transmitting data over the Internet. Moreover, it may take years to determine the extent to which existing laws relating to issues such as intellectual property ownership, libel and personal privacy are applicable to the Internet. Any new laws or regulations relating to the Internet or any new interpretations of existing laws could have a negative impact on Live Current's business and add additional costs to doing business on the Internet.

---

Competition. The Company competes with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than itself in the B2C (business-to-consumer) market as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel. In addition, some of these competitors have been in business for longer than us and may have established more strategic partnerships and relationships than the Company.

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers. The Company does not currently depend on any single customer for a significant proportion of its business. However, as the Company enters into strategic transactions, the Company may choose to grant exclusive rights to a small number of parties or otherwise limit its activities that could, in turn, create such dependence. The Company, however, has no current plans to do so.

Patents, Trademarks and Proprietary Rights. On November 16, 2007, the Company filed a trademark application with the US Patent & Trademark Office ("USPTO") for the mark "LIVE CURRENT". A certificate of registration was issued on October 14, 2008 and the mark was assigned registration number 3,517,876.

The Company will consider seeking further trademark protection for its online businesses; however, the Company may be unable to avail itself of trademark protection under United States laws. Consequently, the Company will seek trademark protection only where it has determined that the cost of obtaining protection, and the scope of protection provided, results in a meaningful benefit to the Company.

Market Acceptance. Both SPRT MTRX and Trivia Matrix are new products in a product-abundant gaming market and there is no guarantee that they will be accepted by the market. In addition to acceptance, should they be accepted, there is no guarantee that they will maintain their popularity in a notoriously fickle gaming market.

Suspension of Live, Professional Sports. SPRT MTRX relies on live, professional sports to provide game content. Without live professional sports, SPRT MTRX will be forced to change its business model. This could possibly include developing artificial intelligence induced content. There could be significant costs associated with this change and there is no guarantee that it would meet with public acceptance.

Risks Related to the Company's Securities

Additional financing will be required. The Company anticipates that it will require significant additional financing to fund its proposed business development plans. The costs of developing the Company's platforms is anticipated to be substantially greater than the Company's existing financial resources, and the Company anticipates that it will require substantial financing to develop and operate its businesses over the next 12 months.

If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing when needed, the Company may not be able to complete its business development plans or its business could fail. The Company will scale back its development plans depending upon its existing financial resources.

The Company's ability to obtain future financing will be subject to a number of factors, including the variability of the global economy, investor interest in our planned business projects, and the performance of equity markets in general. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to the Company. If the Company is not able to obtain financing when needed or in an amount sufficient to enable us to complete our programs, the Company may be required to scale back its business development plans.

Additional financings that are equity financing will dilute existing stockholders. The most likely source of future financing presently available to the Company is through the sale of shares of its common stock. Issuing shares of common stock, for financing purposes or otherwise, will dilute the interests of existing stockholders.

The Company's stock price is volatile. The stock markets in general, and the stock prices of Internet companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of any specific public company. The market price of the Company's Common Stock is likely to fluctuate in the future, especially if the Company's Common Stock is thinly traded. Factors that may have a significant impact on the market price of the Company's Common Stock include:

---

(a) actual or anticipated variations in the Company's results of operations;

(b) the Company's ability or inability to generate new revenues;

(c) increased competition;

(d) government regulations, including Internet regulations;

(e) conditions and trends in the Internet industry;

(f) proprietary rights; or

(g) rumors or allegations regarding the Company's financial disclosures or practices.

The Company's stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to its operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock.

The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company has never paid cash dividends on its Common Stock and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to retain earnings, if any, to develop and expand its business.

"Penny Stock" rules may make buying or selling the Company's Common Stock difficult, and severely limit its market and liquidity. Trading in the Company's Common Stock is subject to certain regulations adopted by the SEC commonly known as the "penny stock" rules. The Company's Common Stock qualifies as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell the Common Stock in the aftermarket. The "penny stock" rules govern how broker-dealers can deal with their clients and "penny stocks". For sales of The Company's Common Stock, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written agreement prior to making a sale to you. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by the "penny stock" rules may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in The Company's Common Stock, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of its Common Stock. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the price of the Common Stock to decline.

Lack of operating revenues. The Company has limited operating revenues and is expected to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Management has assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and the financial statements included with this registration statement includes disclosure that there is a substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The audit report of the Company's principal independent accountants for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 includes a statement regarding the uncertainty of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's failure to achieve profitability and positive operating revenues could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations and could cause the Company's business to fail.

No assurance that forward-looking assessments will be realized. The Company's ability to accomplish its objectives and whether or not we are financially successful is dependent upon numerous factors, each of which could have a material effect on the results obtained. Some of these factors are in the discretion and control of management and others are beyond management's control. The assumptions and hypotheses used in preparing any forward-looking assessments contained herein are considered reasonable by management. There can be no assurance, however, that any projections or assessments contained herein or otherwise made by management will be realized or achieved at any level.

Uncertainty due to Global Outbreak of COVID-19. In March of 2020, the World Health Organization declared an outbreak of COVID-19 to be a global pandemic. The COVID-19 has impacted a vast array of businesses through the restrictions put in place by most governments internationally, including the USA federal government as well as provincial and municipal governments, regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown to what extent the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place world-wide to fight the virus. While the extent of the impact is unknown, the COVID-19 outbreak may hinder the Company's ability to raise financing for exploration or operating costs due to uncertain capital markets, supply chain disruptions, increased government regulations and other unanticipated factors, all of which may also negatively impact the Company's business and financial condition.
