NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Lottery.com Inc. (the “Company”, the “Combined Company” or “Lottery.com”), formerly known as Trident Acquisitions Corp. ( “TDAC”), was a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on March 17, 2016. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
Business Combination
On October 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated its previously announced business combination (the “Closing”) pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 21, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among TDAC, Trident Merger Sub II Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDAC (“Merger Sub”), and AutoLotto, Inc. (“AutoLotto”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into AutoLotto with AutoLotto surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of TDAC, which was renamed “Lottery.com Inc.” immediately prior to the Closing (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”).
In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, each share of preferred stock of AutoLotto that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time converted into shares of AutoLotto’s common stock (each an “AutoLotto Share”) immediately prior to the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any other person, each AutoLotto Share issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including the shares of preferred stock of AutoLotto that were converted in AutoLotto Shares but not including any treasury shares or dissenting shares) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. “Per Share Merger Consideration” means the quotient obtained by dividing (a) 40,000,000 shares of TDAC’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) as adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement by (b) the aggregate number of AutoLotto Shares (including shares issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of certain AutoLotto convertible securities) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, or 13,307,477 AutoLotto Shares. With respect to any AutoLotto Shares that were unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time, the shares of Common Stock issued as Per Share Merger Consideration upon the cancellation and conversion of such AutoLotto Shares remain subject to the same vesting and termination-related provisions as that applied to such AutoLotto Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time.
At the Effective Time, each option to purchase AutoLotto Shares (an “AutoLotto Option”) that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was assumed by TDAC, and continues to have, and remains subject to, the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms and, to the extent applicable, holding period restrictions) as applied to such AutoLotto Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to certain exceptions (each, an “Assumed Option”) with such adjustments to the number of shares underlying and the exercise price of such Assumed Option as provided for under the Business Combination Agreement.
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any person, each warrant to purchase AutoLotto Shares (each, an “AutoLotto Warrant”) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and was not automatically terminated pursuant to its terms became a warrant exercisable for shares of Common Stock (a “Trident Consideration Warrant”) on the same terms and conditions as applied to the AutoLotto Warrants, with adjustments to the number of shares underlying the warrant and the exercise price as were set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
Each convertible promissory note issued by AutoLotto that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time automatically converted or was terminated pursuant to its terms, as applicable, in connection with the Closing.
Earn-Out Shares
In addition, the holders of issued and outstanding AutoLotto Shares immediately prior to the Closing (the “Sellers”) are entitled to receive up to 6,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Seller Earnout Shares”) and Vadim Komissarov, Ilya Ponomarev and Marat Rosenberg (collectively the “Founder Holders”) will also be entitled to receive up to 4,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Founder Holders Earnout Shares”), in each case, that may be issuable from time to time after the Closing as set forth below.

If, at any time on or prior to December 31, 2021, (i) the dollar volume-weighted average price of shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $13.00 per share for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing, or (ii) if Lottery.com consummates a transaction which results in the stockholders of Lottery.com having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding $13.00 per share, each Seller shall receive its pro rata portion of 3,000,000 Seller Earnout Shares and each Founder Holder shall receive one-third of 2,000,000 Founder Holders Earnout Shares. The Seller Earnout Shares then earned and issuable shall be issued to each Seller on a pro-rata basis based on the percentage of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration received, or entitled to be received, by such Seller as of immediately following the Closing.
Business Prior to the Business Combination
Prior to the Business Combination, the Company had one subsidiary, Trident Merger Sub II Corp., a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Delaware on February 9, 2021.

On October 29, 2021, the Closing by and among TDAC, Merger Sub and AutoLotto, Inc. was consummated.

NOTE 2. REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with the preparation
of the Company’s financial statements as of September 30, 2021, management identified errors made in its historical financial statements
where, at the closing of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, the Company improperly valued its common stock subject to possible
redemption. The Company previously determined the common stock subject to possible redemption to be equal to the redemption value, while
also taking into consideration a redemption cannot result in net tangible assets being less than $
In connection with the change in presentation for the common stock subject to redemption, the Company also revised its income (loss) per ordinary share calculation to allocate net income (loss) evenly to redeemable and non-redeemable common stock. This presentation contemplates an initial business combination as the most likely outcome, in which case, both redeemable and non-redeemable shares of common stock share pro rata in the income (loss) of the Company.
The impact of the revision on the Company’s financial statements is reflected in the following table.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021 and as amended on June 25, 2021, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary where the Company has the ability to exercise control. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Activities in relation to the noncontrolling interest are not considered to be significant and are, therefore, not presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s balance sheet with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
At September 30, 2021 and
December 31, 2020, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were held in money market funds, which are invested primarily
in U.S. Treasury securities. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading
securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change
in fair value of investments held in Trust Account are included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the
accompanying condensed statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available
market information. Through September 30, 2021, the Company has withdrawn $

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments (including its UPO Warrants (as defined in Note 8)) to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. See Note 8 for a further discussion of the Company’s derivatives.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants and UPO Warrants were estimated using a Black-Scholes Option pricing model (see Note 10).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for warrant liabilities (see Note 10).
The fair value of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, due to their short maturities of such instruments.
See Note 10 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable shares of common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the remeasurement from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable shares of common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

Income Taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The deferred tax assets of the Company are primarily attributable to net operating loss carryforwards.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal or state taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal and state tax laws. All tax years remain subject to potential examination.
The Company's effective tax rate can vary from period to period primarily due to the change in fair value of the warrant liability and expenses incurred related to the Company's initial business combination, among other factors.
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to COVID-19 pandemic. Under ASC 740, the effects of changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period which the new legislation is enacted. The CARES Act made various tax law changes including among other things (i) increasing the limitation under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”) for 2019 and 2020 to permit additional expensing of interest (ii) enacting a technical correction so that qualified improvement property can be immediately expensed under IRC Section 168(k), (iii) making modifications to the federal net operating loss rules including permitting federal net operating losses incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to the five preceding taxable years in order to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes and (iv) enhancing the recoverability of alternative minimum tax credits. The enactment of the CARES Act did not have a significant impact on the Company’s income tax accounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from income (loss) per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted
income (loss) per common share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering,
and (ii) the private placement that convert into

Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the guidance in ASC Topic 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually.
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
| Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. | ||
| Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. | ||
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. | ||
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days, after the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective within 90 days from the consummation of a Business Combination, the holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise the Public Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

Private Warrants
The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants (see Note 7) underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or such purchasers’ permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants stock. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
| Description | Level | September 30, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | |||||||
| Assets: | ||||||||||
| Marketable securities held in Trust Account | 1 | $ | $ | |||||||
| Liabilities: | ||||||||||
| Derivative Liability – Private Warrants | 3 | |||||||||
| Derivative Liability – UPO Warrants | 3 | |||||||||
The Company utilizes a Black-Scholes option-pricing model within a Monte Carlo simulation model framework to value the Private Warrants and UPO Warrants at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the Statements of Operations. The estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities is determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in a Black Scholes Option pricing model are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the derivatives. The Company estimates the appropriate volatility based on the implied volatility of the publicly traded warrant using a Monte Carlo simulation framework. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the derivatives. The expected life of the derivatives is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates to remain at zero.
The key inputs used in the Black Scholes Option pricing model to measure the derivative liabilities that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| As of September 30, 2021 | As of December 31, 2020 | |||||||

Overview
We are a former blank check company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 17, 2016 under the name Trident Acquisitions Corp. (“TDAC”) for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.
Recent Developments
Business Combination with AutoLotto
On October 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), we completed our previously announced business combination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 21, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among TDAC, Trident Merger Sub II Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TDAC (“Merger Sub”), and AutoLotto, Inc. (“AutoLotto”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into AutoLotto with AutoLotto surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of TDAC, which was renamed “Lottery.com Inc.” immediately prior to the Closing (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”).
In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, each share of preferred stock of AutoLotto that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) converted into shares of AutoLotto’s common stock (each an “AutoLotto Share”) immediately prior to the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any other person, each AutoLotto Share issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including the shares of preferred stock of AutoLotto that were converted into AutoLotto Shares but not including any treasury shares or dissenting shares) was cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. “Per Share Merger Consideration” means the quotient obtained by dividing (a) 40,000,000 shares of TDAC’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), as adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, by (b) the aggregate number of AutoLotto Shares (including shares issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of certain AutoLotto convertible securities) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. With respect to any AutoLotto Shares that were unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time, the shares of Common Stock issued as Per Share Merger Consideration upon the cancellation and conversion of such AutoLotto Shares remain subject to the same vesting and termination-related provisions as that applied to such AutoLotto Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time.
At the Effective Time, each option to purchase AutoLotto Shares (an “AutoLotto Option”) that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was assumed by TDAC, and continues to have, and remains subject to, the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms and, to the extent applicable, holding period restrictions) as applied to such AutoLotto Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to certain exceptions (each, an “Assumed Option”) with such adjustments to the number of shares underlying and the exercise price of such Assumed Option as provided for under the Business Combination Agreement.
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any person, each warrant to purchase AutoLotto Shares (each, an “AutoLotto Warrant”) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and was not automatically terminated pursuant to its terms became a warrant exercisable for shares of Common Stock (a “Trident Consideration Warrant”) on the same terms and conditions as applied to the AutoLotto Warrants, with adjustments to the number of shares underlying the warrant and the exercise price as were set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
Each convertible promissory note issued by AutoLotto that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time automatically converted or was terminated pursuant to its terms, as applicable, in connection with the Closing.
If, at any time on or prior to December 31, 2021, (i) the dollar volume-weighted average price of shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $13.00 per share for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing, or (ii) if Lottery.com consummates a transaction which results in the stockholders of Lottery.com having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding $13.00 per share, each Seller shall receive its pro rata portion of 3,000,000 Seller Earnout Shares and each Founder Holder shall receive one-third of 2,000,000 Founder Holders Earnout Shares. The Seller Earnout Shares then earned and issuable shall be issued to each Seller on a pro-rata basis based on the percentage of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration received, or entitled to be received, by such Seller as of immediately following the Closing.
19
If, at any time on or prior to December 31, 2022, (i) the dollar volume-weighted average price of shares of Common Stock equals or exceeds $16.00 per share for 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days commencing after the Closing, or (ii) if Lottery.com consummates a transaction which results in the stockholders of Lottery.com having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property having a value equaling or exceeding $16.00 per share, each Seller shall receive its pro rata portion of 3,000,000 Seller Earnout Shares and each Founder Holder shall receive one-third of 2,000,000 Founder Holders Earnout Shares.
In addition, the holders of issued and outstanding AutoLotto Shares immediately prior to the Closing (the “Sellers”) are entitled to receive up to 6,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Seller Earnout Shares”) and Vadim Komissarov, Ilya Ponomarev and Marat Rosenberg (collectively the “Founder Holders”) will also be entitled to receive up to 4,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock (the “Founder Holders Earnout Shares”), in each case, that may be issuable from time to time after the Closing as set forth below.
Results of Operations
As of September 30, 2021, we had neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. Our only activities from inception through September 30, 2021 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination and activities in connection with the proposed acquisition of Lottery.com. We generated non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account. We incurred expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $4,294,488, which consisted of a change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $4,811,500, a benefit from income taxes of $72,249 and interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $956, offset by operating costs of $590,217.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had net income of $1,780,407, which consisted of a change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $3,604,000, a benefit from income taxes of $201,463, interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,846 and other income of $72, offset by operating costs of $2,027,974.
For the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $362,526, which consists of operating costs of $532,732 offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $6,267 and benefit from income taxes of $163,939.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of $618,464, which consists of operating costs of $1,129,464 offset by interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $347,246 and benefit from income taxes of $163,939.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, we had marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $63,535,992 (including approximately $1,379,000 of interest income). Interest income on the balance in the Trust Account may be used by us to pay taxes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we withdrew $160,250 of interest earned on the Trust Account to pay our tax obligations.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1,158,455. Net income of $1,780,407 was affected by the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $3,604,000, a deferred tax benefit of $201,463 and interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,846 and. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $869,447 of cash for operating activities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $1,603,006. Net loss of $618,464 was the affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $347,246 and a deferred tax benefit of $163,939, offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities which used $473,357 of cash for operating activities.
As of September 30, 2021, we had cash of $65,264 held outside the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination.
On December 17, 2019, Viktoria Group, LLC, a company owned by our President and Chief Financial Officer, loaned us $180,000 to fund our working capital requirements and finance transaction expenses in connection with a Business Combination. The loan was non-interest bearing and payable on December 2, 2020. We repaid the loan on June 18, 2020.
On January 30, 2020, VK Consulting, Inc., a company owned by Vadim Komissarov, our former President and Chief Financial Officer loaned us $425,000 to fund our working capital requirements and finance transaction expenses in connection with an initial business combination. The promissory note was non-interest bearing and was repaid on January 5, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2021.
Contractual Obligations
We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay VK Consulting, Inc. an aggregate monthly fee of $7,500 for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to us. We began incurring these fees on May 30, 2018 and continued to incur these fees monthly until the completion of the Business Combination.
The underwriter in the Initial Public Offering was entitled to a deferred fee of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $5,031,250. The deferred fee will be paid in cash upon the Closing from the amounts held in the Trust Account.
In addition, we have agreed to pay the underwriter a warrant solicitation fee of five percent (5%) of the exercise price of each Public Warrant exercised during the period commencing thirty days after the consummation of the Business Combination, including warrants acquired by security holders in the open market, but excluding warrants exercised during the 30 day period following notice of a proposed redemption. The warrant solicitation fee will be payable in cash. There is no limitation on the maximum warrant solicitation fee payable to the underwriter, except to the extent it is limited by the number of Public Warrants outstanding.

Critical Accounting Policies
In the notes to our consolidated financial statements and in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Form 10-K, as amended, we have disclosed those accounting policies that we consider to be significant in determining our results of operations and financial condition. There have been no material changes to those policies that we consider to be significant since the filing of our Form 10-K, as amended. The accounting principles used in preparing our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements conform in all material respects to accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2021 and the condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2020 and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
Derivative Financial Instruments
We evaluate our financial instruments (including the warrants issuable upon exercise of the unit purchase option issued to the underwriter in our initial public offering (the “UPO Warrants”)) to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.
Warrant Liabilities
We account for warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the warrants that do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. As the Private Warrants and UPO Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, we classify the Private Warrants and UPO Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statements of operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants and UPO Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model within a Monte Carlo simulation model framework.
Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
We account for our common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt -- Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging -- Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020. On March 30, 2021, we filed our original 10-K. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective. Subsequently, and in connection with Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K ( the “10K/A”), our certifying officers re-evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.
On April 12, 2021, the staff of the SEC issued a new Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) (the “SEC Statement”). The SEC Statement addresses certain accounting and reporting considerations related to warrants. In the SEC Statement, the staff of the SEC expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. Based upon that evaluation and in light of the SEC Statement, our certifying officers concluded that, due solely to the material weakness identified that resulted in the restatement of the Company’s financial statements to reclassify the Company’s Private Warrants and UPO Warrants as described in the Explanatory Note to the 10K/A, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2021.
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than what was described in the 10-K/A, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In light of the restatement of our financial statements included in the 10-K/A, we plan to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.
