Company Overview
We are a Virtual ("VR") and Augmented ("AR") Reality platform company, comprised of a diversified group of wholly-owned and operated VR and AR companies, providing enterprise-focused software, services and solutions. We believe that we offer significant exposure to the rapidly growing and potentially transformative VR and AR markets, while mitigating downside risk via our diversified model and ecosystem.
Our platform of VR/AR subsidiary companies, collaborative environment and diversified business model aims to simplify the challenges faced by companies in the emerging VR/AR industry, potentially improving each subsidiary company's ability to succeed, while simultaneously providing investors an opportunity to invest directly into the emerging VR/AR industry via a diversified infrastructure.
Leveraging our platform, we strive to cultivate and manage the business operations of our VR/AR subsidiary companies, with the goal of allowing each underlying company to better focus on mission-critical endeavors, collaborate with the other subsidiary companies, reduce time to market, optimize costs, improve product quality and leverage joint go-to-market strategies. Subject to operational, market and financial developments and conditions, we intend to carefully add to our current portfolio of subsidiary companies via a combination of organic expansion and/or outside acquisition.
The VR/AR industry is an early-stage technology industry with nascent markets. We believe that this industry has significant growth potential across verticals, may be transformative and that our diversified platform and ecosystem create important competitive advantages. Our subsidiary companies currently target a wide array of industry verticals, including but not limited to: Corporate Training, Education, Healthcare, Branding/Marketing/Advertising, Retail, Financial Services, Food & Hospitality, Media & Entertainment, Architecture/Engineering/Construction ("AEC") and Social VR support groups and therapy. We do not currently target direct-to-consumer ("B2C') VR/AR software or services, only business-to-business ("B2B") and business-to-business-to-consumer ("B2B2C"), and we are hardware agnostic.
| 1 |
The Glimpse Platform
We develop, commercialize and market innovative and proprietary VR/AR software products, solutions and intellectual property ("IP"). Our platform is currently comprised of eleven active wholly-owned subsidiary companies, each targeting different industry segments in a non-competitive, collaborative manner. Our experienced management and dynamic VR/AR entrepreneurs have deep domain expertise, providing the foundation for value-add-collaborations throughout our ecosystem.
Each of our subsidiary companies share operational, financial and IP infrastructure, facilitating shorter time-to-market, higher quality products, reduced development costs, fewer redundancies, significant go-to-market synergies and, ultimately, a higher potential for success for each subsidiary company. We believe that our collaborative platform is unique and necessary, especially given the early nature of the VR/AR industry. By offering technologies and solutions in various industry segments, we aim to reduce dependency on any one single subsidiary company, technology or industry segment.
We believe that three core tenets enhance our probability of success: (1) our ecosystem of VR/AR companies, (2) diversification and (3) profitable growth.
(1) Our ecosystem of VR/AR software and service companies provides significant benefits to each subsidiary company and our group as a whole. We believe that the most notable benefits are: (a) economies of scale, cost efficiencies and reduced redundancies; (b) cross company collaboration, deep domain expertise, IP and knowledge transfer; (c) superior product offerings; (d) faster time to market; (e) enhanced business development and sales synergies; and (f) multiple monetization paths. In an emerging industry that is lacking in infrastructure, we believe that our ecosystem provides a distinct competitive advantage relative to a single, standalone company in the industry.
(2) By design, we incorporate multiple aspects of diversity to reduce the risks associated with an early stage industry, create multiple monetization venues and improve the probabilities of success. There is no single point of failure or dependency. This is created through: (a) ownership of numerous wholly-owned subsidiary companies operating in different industry segments; (b) targeting large industries with clear VR/AR use-cases; (c) developing and utilizing various technologies and IP; (d) expanding to different geographic technology centers in a hub model under our umbrella; and (e) across industries, having a wide array of customers and potential acquirers/investors.
(3) From our inception, we have prioritized achieving operational cash flow neutrality early in our life. This was an important factor that drove our strategy to: (a) focus on enterprise software and services, only onboarding companies that are generating revenues or clearly could in the short term; (b) target solutions that are based on use cases that have a clear return on investment ("ROI") and can be effectively developed from existing technologies and hardware; and (c) centralize costs to reduce inefficiencies. By targeting cash flow neutrality, our goal is to minimize dilution and support greater independence from capital markets, thereby increasing resiliency and maximizing upside potential.
As part of our platform, we provide a centralized corporate structure, which significantly reduces general and administrative costs (financial, operational, legal & IP), streamlines capital allocation and helps in coordinating business strategies. This allows our subsidiary company general managers to focus their time and effort almost exclusively on the core software, product and business development activities relating to their subsidiary.
Additionally, aligned economic incentives encourage cross-Company collaboration. All of our employees own equity in our Company. The leadership team of each subsidiary company, in addition to their equity ownership in Glimpse, also have an economic interest in their particular subsidiary company. This economic interest is negotiated with lead management of a subsidiary company upon their joining of our Company, and typically ranges between 5-10% of the total net sale proceeds of the subsidiary and includes a three-year vesting schedule. Thus, there is benefit to them not only when their subsidiary company succeeds but also when any of the other subsidiaries succeeds, and when Glimpse as a whole succeeds. We believe that this ownership mechanism is a strong driver of cross-pollination of ideas and fosters collaboration. While each subsidiary company owns its own IP, our parent company currently owns 100% of each subsidiary company. In addition, there will be perpetual licensing agreements between our subsidiary companies, so that if a subsidiary company is divested, then the remaining subsidiaries, if utilizing the IP of a divested subsidiary company, will continue to retain usage rights post-divestiture.

The VR and AR (XR) Markets
Virtual Reality (VR) fully immerses the user in a digital environment via a head mounted display ("HMD"), where the user is blocked out of their immediate physical environment. Augmented Reality (AR) is a less immersive experience, where the user views their immediate physical environment with digital images overlaid, via a phone, tablet or a dedicated HMD such as smart glasses. While distinct, VR and AR are related, utilize some similar underlying technologies and are expected to become increasingly interconnected - combined they are often referred to as Immersive Technology (XR).
VR and AR are emerging technologies, and the markets for them are still nascent. We believe that XR technologies and solutions have the potential to fundamentally transform how people and businesses interact, further enabling remote work, education and commerce. XR is also expected to increasingly interconnect with other emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, computer vision, big data, NFT and crypto currencies. Additionally, HMD and telecommunication (5G) advancements have been driving vast improvements in capabilities and ease of use, while significantly reducing headset cost. As a result, market adoption has accelerated and is expected to continue. Leading technology companies such as Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Sony and HP have been at the forefront of VR/AR hardware development and software infrastructure, while also increasing integration of their products with AR and VR capabilities.
| 5 |
Since Facebook released its first VR headset as a consumer product in 2016 (after its $2B+ acquisition of Oculus), successive iterations of it, as well as others, have become significantly lighter, more comfortable, lower priced, with higher resolution and increasingly wireless/mobile. With a standalone mobile headset, users no longer need an expensive gaming computer to power the headset and they also do not have a wire tethered to that computer restricting movement. These advances have facilitated easier corporate procurement and integration. The accelerating rollout of 5G should enable further improvement in user experience since with 5G, remote processing and heavier, real time applications become possible without noticeable visual lag, allowing for lighter, smaller, more comfortable HMDs with longer battery life.
Based on Artillery Intelligence's market forecasts, the VR and AR markets are forecasted to grow 31% in 2021 to over $9 billion, expanding at a 39% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the next three years, exceeding $35 billion by 2023. In particular, VR and AR enterprise software - the segment we are focused on - is projected to grow 59% in 2021 and expand at a 55% CAGR to more than $10 billion in 2023.
Business Development and Sales
We utilize a hybrid approach to the sales and distribution of our software products and services.
At our subsidiary company level, each company has its own business development and sales team, the size of which depends on its stage of development. Each subsidiary company's general manager is responsible for business development, and as the subsidiary gains market traction, its business development and sales team are expanded as needed.
Our subsidiary companies' business development and sales teams are enhanced by the shared resources and influence of our ecosystem. Our management takes an active role in the business development activities of each subsidiary company and in the overall development and integration of sale strategies, goals and budgets. As an integral part of the business development and sales processes, each subsidiary company's general manager is very familiar with the product offerings of other subsidiary companies and leverages those into his or her own efforts when appropriate. This leads to substantial cross marketing collaboration.
We believe that a subsidiary company's ability to demonstrate to potential customers scale as part of our ecosystem of companies, combined with our subsidiary's ability to offer its products and solutions as well as those of our other subsidiary companies in an integrated manner, represents a key competitive advantage. We believe our customers often view us as a "one-stop-shop" for all their VR/AR needs and an expert in the emerging VR/AR space.
| 6 |
We and our subsidiary companies continue to develop a shared partner ecosystem to further scale business and expand our solutions into new and existing target markets.
Competitive Environment
We believe that our competitors in the VR/AR industry are focused on two primary segments: VR/AR Hardware (headsets) and Software.
VR/AR Hardware (Headsets) ("Hardware"):
We do not develop any Hardware, and our software and service solutions are mostly compatible with any Hardware. We believe that Hardware development, commercialization and distribution are highly capital intensive and there is not yet large enough scale or mass adoption in the VR/AR industry to justify such expenditures for a smaller company. As such, there are relatively few participants on the Hardware side, some very large (for example: Facebook/Oculus, Microsoft, Samsung, Google, Apple, HTC, HP, Lenovo, Sony and Epson) and some much smaller (for example: Magic Leap, Pico, Valve and Vuzix). In general, Hardware cycles have been accelerating and performance improving, with simplified usability and reduced end-user costs. The more advanced, easier to use and cheaper the Hardware becomes, the higher the potential for the development of robust software applications and increased market adoption of VR/AR solutions.
VR/AR Software ("Software"):
In contrast to VR/AR Hardware, Software is highly fragmented with hundreds of VR/AR Software companies targeting different segments and solutions. Many are consumer oriented, whereas we are entirely enterprise focused (B2B, B2B2C). We believe that the AR/VR Software segment is currently far less competitive than traditional software markets, as most companies in the space tend to be early stage and often underfunded.
While competition is evolving and increasing, there is currently no dominant player in any particular VR/AR Software segment. We believe that we have the potential to become a leader in the VR/AR Software space in general and that each of our subsidiary companies has the potential to become a significant player in their particular industry sector.
As previously described, we believe that our structure, ecosystem and integrated capabilities create significant competitive advantages for each of our subsidiary companies, not available to other Software companies in the VR/AR space. By owning and operating a diverse set of VR/AR companies, we believe that we significantly improve each of our subsidiary company's ability to succeed by addressing many of the challenges early stage companies face and expanding each's opportunity set and capabilities.
We believe that there are a select number of earlier stage companies of approximately our size that provide VR/AR Software and could be viewed as potential competitors. In addition, several of the larger technology players provide general infrastructure VR/AR Software. In particular: ARCore from Google and ARKit from Apple, which enable AR functionality on smartphones and tablets; and Unity and Epic Unreal, which enable software languages used in VR and AR programing. We do not view these larger companies as competition, but rather as complementary to our business. We believe infrastructure software benefits us, and the industry at large, as they are not industry specific and enable companies like us to more effectively build industry specific solutions, thereby saving significant costs and development efforts.
Platform Expansion and Diversification Strategy
As described above in "Competitive Environment," the VR/AR software and services industries are highly fragmented. There are numerous potential acquisition targets that, while having established a niche market position, product or technology, have limited resources and ability to pursue growth initiatives. We intend to leverage our position and relative scale in the industry in order to continue to add to our platform both earlier stage companies and technologies and, subject to the availability of capital and appropriate targets, more mature companies. Beyond the expected financial impact of each such potential addition, these could also enhance our ecosystem, technology, scale and competitive position. These potential acquisitions may be domestic or international. If there is sufficient scale in a certain geographic location (beyond our current NYC headquarters), then a new hub may be established in such location, with several subsidiary companies operating in that hub, under the overall Glimpse umbrella.
| 7 |
Strategic Divestitures
Each one of our subsidiary companies has the potential to be divested or spun off. Although the purpose of our platform is to grow and develop the ecosystem on which each of our subsidiaries can mature by benefitting from collaboration, each subsidiary company targets a specific industry vertical (i.e. Healthcare, Education, Corporate Training, etc.) and as such has a distinct set of potential acquirers or investors. If a subsidiary company is divested and the proceeds are substantive, then our intent is to distribute the majority of the net proceeds to our shareholder base, if such distribution would not jeopardize our growth and operations.
Intellectual Property
Our intellectual property is an integral part of our business strategy and practice. In accordance with industry practice, we protect our proprietary products, technology and competitive advantage through a combination of contractual provisions and trade secrets, patents, copyright and trademark laws in the United States and other jurisdictions where business is conducted.
As of the date of this disclosure and summarized in the table below, we have filed thirteen (13) patent applications, four (4) of which have been issued and one (1) allowed and registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the "USPTO").

We may continue to file for patents regarding various aspects of our products, services and technologies at a later date depending on the costs and timing associated with such filings. We may make investments to further strengthen our copyright protection going forward, although no assurances can be given that we will be successful in such patent and trademark protection endeavors. We seek to limit disclosure of our intellectual property by requiring employees, consultants, and partners with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements and non-competition agreements (when applicable) and by restricting access to our proprietary information. Due to rapid technological change, we believe that establishing and maintaining an industry and technology advantage in factors such as the expertise and technological and creative skills of our personnel, as well as new services and enhancements to our existing services, are more important to our business and profitability than other available legal protections.
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our services or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. The laws of many countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement. Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance that our means of protecting our proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar services or products. Any failure by us to adequately protect our intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. See "Risk Factors-Risks Related to our Business."
Business Cycles
Based on our history and information available to date, we have not been able to identify any seasonality of cycles within our business. Since VR/AR is an emerging industry, market and customer education are material and the length of the typical sales cycle can be between 3 and 18 months, depending on the size and complexity of the proposed solution and the customer's level of understanding of the VR/AR space and prior experience.
Facilities
We are based in New York, New York. Our current facilities are leased and adequate to meet our ongoing needs. If we require additional space or expand geographically, we may seek additional facilities on commercially reasonable terms at such time. Due to Covid-19 constraints, since March 2020 our personnel have been working primarily on a remote basis, without detrimental effects. We returned to partial in person work in July 2021 and expect to continue as such for the foreseeable future, subject to Covid-19 developments.
We also lease a small office in Izmir, Turkey for the operations of Glimpse Turkey.
Employees
We currently have approximately 90 full time employees and consultants, primarily software developers, engineers and 3D artists.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Company's common stock involves a high degree of risk. In determining whether to purchase the Company's common stock, an investor should carefully consider all the material risks described below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus before deciding to purchase the Company's securities. An investor should only purchase the Company's securities if he or she can afford to suffer the loss of his or her entire investment.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
The Company is an early stage technology company
We were incorporated on June 15, 2016 and are an early stage technology development company, comprised of a wholly-owned group of early stage companies in the VR and AR space. As such, we are subject to the risks associated with being an early stage company operating in an emerging industry, including, but not limited to, the risks set forth herein.
Health epidemics, including the current COVID-19 pandemic, have had, and could in the future have, an adverse impact on our business, operations, and the markets and communities in which we, our partners and customers operate. For example, sales cycles have generally lengthened and some customers have delayed purchase decisions.
Our business and operations could be adversely affected by health epidemics, including the current COVID-19 pandemic, impacting the markets and communities in which we, our partners and customers operate. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused and continues to cause significant business and financial markets disruption worldwide and there is significant uncertainty around the duration of this disruption on both a nationwide and global level, as well as the ongoing effects on our business.
The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, and we may be unable to accurately forecast our revenue or financial results. Further, as many of our customers or partners experience downturns or uncertainty in their own business operations or revenue resulting from the spread of COVID-19, they may decrease or delay their spending, request pricing concessions or seek renegotiations of their contracts, any of which may result in decreased revenue for us. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen the length of our sale cycles generally increase and some of our customers have delayed purchase decisions. In addition, we may experience customer or strategic partner losses, including due to bankruptcy or our customers or strategic partners ceasing operations, which may result in an inability to collect receivables from these parties. A decline in revenue or the collectability of our receivables could harm our business.
In addition, in response to the initial outbreak of COVID-19, we required substantially all of our employees to work remotely to minimize the risk of the virus. While working remotely has proven to be effective to this point, it may eventually inhibit our ability to operate the business effectively (we have since returned to non-remote, in-person office work, initially several days per week.). Decreased effectiveness and availability of our team could adversely affect our results due to slow-downs in our sales cycles and recruiting efforts, delays in our entry into customer contracts, delays in addressing performance issues, delays in product development, delays and inefficiencies among various operational aspects of our business, including our financial organization, or other decreases in productivity that could seriously harm our business. Furthermore, we may decide to postpone or cancel planned investments in our business in response to changes in our business as a result of the spread of COVID-19, which may impact our ability to attract and retain customers and our rate of innovation, either of which could harm our business. In addition, our facilities needs could evolve based on continuing changes and impact on work environments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we may not be able to alter our contractual commitments to accommodate such changes, which could cause us to incur additional costs or otherwise harm our business. More generally, the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected economies and financial markets globally, which could decrease technology spending and adversely affect demand for our platforms and solutions.
The global impact of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve, and we will continue to monitor the situation and the effects on our business and operations closely. We do not yet know the full extent of potential impacts on our business, operations or the global economy as a whole, particularly if the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures continue and persist for an extended period of time. Given the uncertainty, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact on our future results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. While the spread of COVID-19 may eventually be contained or mitigated, there is no guarantee that a future outbreak of this or any other widespread epidemics will not occur, or that the global economy will recover, either of which could harm our business.
We have incurred significant net losses since inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve or maintain profitability.
Since inception, we have incurred significant net losses. As of September 30, 2021 and as of June 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $23.8 million and $22.1 million, respectively. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $1.7 million and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $6.1 million. To date, we have devoted our efforts towards securing financing, building and evolving our technology platform and creating an infrastructure that allows for the growth of such technology platform. In the past, the combination of operating losses, cash expected to be used to continue operating activities and uncertain conditions relating to additional capital raises and continued revenue growth created an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern was alleviated on our financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and for the year ended June 30, 2021, supported by funding raised in our July 2021 initial public offering and the October 2021 Private Placement, which are more fully described later in this filing. Net proceeds from those fundings were approximately $11.8 million and $13.6 million, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and potential operating losses for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that our expenses will increase if, and as, we continue to:
| ● | hire and retain additional sales, accounting and finance, marketing and engineering personnel; | |
| ● | build out our product pipeline; | |
| ● | add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and | |
| ● | maintain, expand, protect and enforce our intellectual property portfolio. |
| 11 |
To become profitable, we must continue to grow our revenue base and control expenditures. This will require us to be successful in a range of challenging activities, and our expenses will increase as we continue to develop and bring our current products, as well as new ones, to market. We may never succeed in any or all of these activities and, even if we do, we may never generate revenue that is significant or sufficient to achieve profitability. If we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to become and remain profitable or to sufficiently fund our operations through financing activity could potentially, again, create an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Based on our recent financing activity we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for more than one year.
Based on our recent financing activity we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for more than one year. Consequently, our financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. However, we have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we expect. In the future, if we are unable to obtain sufficient funding to support our operations, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of our development and growth initiatives, and our financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected and we may be unable to continue as a going concern. In the future, reports from our independent registered public accounting firm may also contain statements expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
We may not be successful in raising additional capital necessary to meet expected increases in working capital needs. If we need additional funding for operations and we are unable to raise it, we may not be able to continue our business operations.
We expect our working capital needs to increase in the future as we continue to expand and enhance our operations. Our ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or other sources will depend on the financial success of our current business and successful implementation of our key strategic initiatives, financial, economic and market conditions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in raising the required capital at reasonable cost and at the required times, or at all. Further equity financings may have a dilutive effect on shareholders and any debt financing, if available, may require restrictions to be placed on our future financing and operating activities. If we require additional capital and are unsuccessful in raising that capital, we may not be able to continue our business operations and advance our growth initiatives, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our market is competitive and dynamic. New competing products and services could be introduced at any time that could result in reduced profit margins and loss of market share.
The AR and VR industries are very dynamic, with new technology and services being introduced by a range of players, from larger established companies to start-ups, on a frequent basis. Our competitors may announce new products, services, or enhancements that better meet the needs of end-users or changing industry standards. Further, new competitors or alliances among competitors could emerge. Increased competition may cause price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, the worldwide AR and VR markets are increasingly competitive. A number of companies developing AR and VR products and services compete for a limited number of customers. Some of our competitors in this market have substantially greater financial and other resources, larger research and development staffs, and more experience and capabilities in developing, marketing and distributing products. Ongoing pricing pressure could result in significant price erosion, reduced profit margins and loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
| 12 |
Our plans for growth will place significant demands upon our resources. If we are unsuccessful in achieving our plan for growth, our business could be harmed.
We are actively marketing our products domestically and internationally. The plan places significant demands upon managerial, financial, and human resources. Our ability to manage future growth will depend in large part upon several factors, including our ability to rapidly:
| ● | build or leverage, as applicable, a network of business partners to create an expanding presence in the evolving marketplace for our products and services; | |
| ● | build or leverage, as applicable, sales teams to keep end-users and business partners informed regarding the technical features, issues and key selling points of our products and services; |
| ● | attract and retain qualified technical personnel in order to continue to develop reliable and flexible products and provide services that respond to evolving customer needs; | |
| ● | develop support capacity for end-users as sales increase, so that we can provide post-sales support without diverting resources from product development efforts; and | |
| ● | expand our internal management and financial controls significantly, so that we can maintain control over our operations and provide support to other functional areas as the number of personnel and size increases. |
Our inability to achieve any of these objectives could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have material customer concentration, with a limited number of customers accounting for a material portion of our 2021 revenues.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended June 30, 2021, our five largest customers, accounted for approximately 87% and 63% of our revenues, respectively. There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenues are concentrated with a limited number of customers. It is not possible for us to predict the future level of demand for our services that will be generated by these customers or the future demand for the products and services of these customers in the end-user marketplace. In addition, revenues from these customers may fluctuate from time to time based on the commencement and completion of projects, the timing of which may be affected by market conditions or other facts, some of which may be outside of our control. Further, some of our contracts with these customers permit them to terminate our services at any time (subject to notice and certain other provisions). If any of these customers experience declining or delayed sales due to market, economic or competitive conditions, we could be pressured to reduce the prices we charge for our services or we could lose a major customer. Any such development could have an adverse effect on our margins and financial position, and would negatively affect our revenues and results of operations and/or trading price of our common stock.
We anticipate our products and technologies will require ongoing research and development ("R&D") and we may experience technical problems or delays and may not have the funds necessary to continue their development, which could lead our business to fail.
Our R&D efforts are subject to the risks typically associated with the development of new products and technologies based on emerging and innovative technologies, including, for example, unexpected technical problems or the possible insufficiency of funds for completing development of these products or technologies. If we experience technical problems or delays, further improvements in our products or technologies and the introduction of future products or technologies could be delayed, and we could incur significant additional expenses and our business may fail.
We anticipate that we may require additional funds to increase or sustain our current levels of expenditure for the R&D of new products and technologies, and to obtain and maintain patents and other intellectual property rights in these technologies, the timing and amount of which are difficult to forecast. Any funds we need may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we cannot obtain the necessary additional capital when needed, we might be forced to reduce our R&D efforts which would materially and adversely affect our business. If we attempt to raise capital in an offering of shares of our common stock, preferred stock, convertible securities or warrants, our then-existing stockholders' interests will be diluted.
| 13 |
Our success depends on our ability to anticipate technological changes and develop new and enhanced products and services.
The markets for our products and services are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. The introduction of products embodying new technology and the emergence of new industry standards can negatively impact the marketability of our existing products and can exert price pressures on existing products. It is critical to our success that we are able to anticipate and react quickly to changes in technology or in industry standards and to successfully develop, introduce, and achieve market acceptance of new, enhanced and competitive products and services on a timely basis and cost-effective basis. We invest substantial resources towards continued innovation; however, there can be no assurance that we will successfully develop new products and services or enhance and improve our existing products and services, that new products and services and enhanced and improved existing products and services will achieve market acceptance or that the introduction of new products and services or enhanced existing products and services by others will not negatively impact us. Our inability to develop products and services that are competitive in technology and price and that meet end-user needs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Development schedules for technology products and services are inherently uncertain. We may not meet our products and/or services development schedules, and development costs could exceed budgeted amounts. Our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity may be materially and adversely affected if the products or product enhancements that we develop are delayed or not delivered due to developmental problems, quality issues or component shortage problems, or if our products or product enhancements do not achieve market acceptance or are unreliable. We or our competitors will continue to introduce products embodying new technologies. In addition, new industry standards may emerge. Such events could render our existing products obsolete or not marketable, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity.
We place significant decision making powers with our subsidiaries' management, which presents certain risks that may cause the operating results of individual subsidiaries to vary.
We believe that our practice of placing significant decision making powers with each of our subsidiaries' management is important to our successful growth and allows us to be responsive to opportunities and to our customers' needs. However, this practice can make it difficult to coordinate procedures across our operations and presents certain risks, including the risk that we may be slower or less effective in our attempts to identify or react to problems affecting an important business issue, or that we would be slower to identify a misalignment between a subsidiary's and our overall business strategy. Inconsistent implementation of corporate strategy and policies at the subsidiary level could materially and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and prospects.
The operating results of an individual subsidiary may differ from those of another subsidiary for a variety of reasons, including market size, customer base, competitive landscape, regulatory requirements and economic conditions affecting a particular industry vertical. As a result, certain of our subsidiaries may experience higher or lower levels of profitability and growth than other subsidiaries.
The failure to attract, hire, retain and motivate key personnel could have a significant adverse impact on our operations.
Our success depends on the retention and maintenance of key personnel, including members of senior management and our technical, sales and marketing teams. Achieving this objective may be difficult due to many factors, including competition for such highly skilled personnel; fluctuations in global economic and industry conditions; changes in our management or leadership; competitors' hiring practices; and the effectiveness of our compensation programs. The loss of any of these key persons could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Competition for qualified employees is particularly intense in the technology industry. Our failure to attract and to retain the necessary qualified personnel could seriously harm our operating results and financial condition. Competition for such personnel can be intense, and no assurance can be provided that we will be able to attract or retain highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future, which may have a material adverse effect on our future growth and profitability.
| 14 |
Our financial results may fluctuate substantially for many reasons, and past results should not be relied on as indications of future performance.
Our revenues and operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and from year to year due to a combination of factors, including, but not limited to:
| ● | varying size, timing and contractual terms of orders for our products and services, which may delay the recognition of revenue; | |
| ● | competitive conditions in the industry, including strategic initiatives by us or our competitors, new products or services, product or service announcements and changes in pricing policy by us or our competitors; | |
| ● | market acceptance of our products and services; | |
| ● | our ability to maintain existing relationships and to create new relationships with customers and business partners; | |
| ● | the discretionary nature of purchase and budget cycles of our customers and end-users; | |
| ● | the length and variability of the sales cycles for our products; | |
| ● | general weakening of the economy resulting in a decrease in the overall demand for our products and services or otherwise affecting the capital investment levels of businesses with respect to our products or services; | |
| ● | timing of product development and new product initiatives; | |
| ● | changes in customer mix; | |
| ● | increases in the cost of, or limitations on, the availability of materials; | |
| ● | changes in product mix; and | |
| ● | increases in costs and expenses associated with the introduction of new products. |
Further, the markets that we serve are volatile and subject to market shifts that we may be unable to anticipate. A slowdown in the demand for AR or VR products and services can have a significant adverse effect on the demand for our products and services in any given period. Our customers may cancel or delay purchase orders for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, the rescheduling of new product introductions, changes in our customers' inventory practices or forecasted demand, general economic conditions affecting our customers' markets, changes in our pricing or the pricing of our competitors, new product announcements by us or others, quality or reliability problems related to our products, or selection of competitive products as alternate sources of supply.
Thus, there can be no assurance that we will be able to reach profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. We believe that our revenue and operating results will continue to fluctuate, and that period-to-period comparisons are not necessarily indications of future performance. Our revenue and operating results may fail to meet the expectations of public market analysts or investors, which could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock. In addition, portions of our expenses are fixed and difficult to reduce if our revenues do not meet our expectations. These fixed expenses magnify the adverse effect of any revenue shortfall.
Our plans for implementing our business strategy and achieving profitability are based upon the experience, judgment and assumptions of our key management personnel, and available information concerning the communications and technology industries. If management's assumptions prove to be incorrect, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
| 15 |
Our centralized management will have significant discretion over directing our resources and if management does not allocate resources effectively, our business, financial condition or result of operations could be harmed.
Our centralized management has significant discretion over directing our resources to any and all of our subsidiary companies. As a consequence, it is possible that one or more of our subsidiary companies will not receive adequate capital or management resources. If a subsidiary company does not receive adequate capital or resources, it may not be able to commercialize its products and services, or if its products and services are already commercialized, it may not be able to keep such products and services competitive. Therefore, if we don't allocate resources effectively, our business, financial condition or result of operations could be harmed.
Competitive pricing pressure may reduce our gross profits and adversely affect our financial results.
If we are unable to maintain our pricing due to competitive pressures or other factors, our margins will be reduced and our gross profits, business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected. The subscription prices for our software platforms, cloud modules, and professional services may decline for a variety of reasons, including competitive pricing pressures, discounts, anticipation of the introduction of new solutions by our competitors, or promotional programs offered by us or our competitors. Competition continues to increase in the market segments in which we operate, and we expect competition to further increase in the future.
Our future growth depends on our ability to attract, retain customers, and the loss of existing customers, or failure to attract new ones, could adversely impact our business and future prospects.
Once the platform is further developed, the size of our community of customers on our platforms is critical to our success. Our ability to achieve profitability in the future will depend, in large part, on our ability to add new customers, while retaining and even expanding offerings to existing customers. Our customers can generally decide to cease using our solutions at any time. While we have experienced customer growth, this growth may not continue at the same pace in the future or at all. In addition, it is possible that the ongoing effects of COVID-19 may have a deleterious effect on our customer growth in the future. Achieving growth in our customer base may require us to engage in increasingly sophisticated and costly sales and marketing efforts that may not result in additional customers. We may also need to modify our pricing model to attract and retain such customers. If we fail to attract new users or fail to maintain or expand existing relationships in a cost-effective manner, our business and future prospects may be materially and adversely impacted.
The continued operation of our business depends on the performance and reliability of the Internet, mobile networks, and other infrastructure that is not under our control.
Our business depends on the performance and reliability of the Internet, mobile networks, and other infrastructure that is not under our control. Disruptions in such infrastructure, including as the result of power outages, telecommunications delay or failure, security breach, or computer virus, as well as failure by telecommunications network operators to provide us with the bandwidth we need to provide our products and offerings, could cause delays or interruptions to our products, offerings, and platforms. Any of these events could damage our reputation, resulting in fewer users actively using our platforms, disrupt our operations, and subject us to liability, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.
If we do not make our platforms, including new versions or technology advancements, easier to use or properly train customers on how to use our platforms, our ability to broaden the appeal of our products and services and to increase our revenue could suffer.
In order to get full use of our platforms, users generally need training. We provide a variety of training and support services to our customers, and we believe we will need to continue to maintain and enhance the breadth and effectiveness of our training and support services as the scope and complexity of our platforms increase. If we do not provide effective training and support resources for our customers on how to efficiently and effectively use our platforms, our ability to grow our business will suffer, and our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. Additionally, when we announce or release new versions of our platforms or advancements in our technology, we could fail to sufficiently explain or train our customers on how to use such new versions or advancements or we may announce or release such versions prematurely. These failures on our part may lead to our customers being confused about use of our products or expected technology releases, and our ability to grow our business, results of operations, brand and reputation may be adversely affected.
| 16 |
Interruptions, performance problems or defects associated with our platforms may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our reputation and ability to attract and retain customers and grow our business depends in part on our ability to operate our platforms at high levels of reliability, scalability and performance, including the ability of our existing and potential customers to access our platforms at any time and within an acceptable amount of time. Interruptions in the performance of our platforms, whether due to system failures, computer viruses or physical or electronic break-ins, could affect the availability of our platforms. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, introductions of new functionality, human or software errors, capacity constraints due to an overwhelming number of customers accessing our platforms simultaneously, denial of service attacks or other security-related incidents.
It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our performance, especially during peak usage times and as our customer base grows and our platforms becomes more complex. If our platforms are unavailable or if our customers are unable to access our platforms within a reasonable amount of time or at all, we may experience a loss of customers, lost or delayed market acceptance of our platforms, delays in payment to us by customers, injury to our reputation and brand, legal claims against us, significant cost of remedying these problems and the diversion of our resources. In addition, to the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as our reputation, may be adversely affected.
Further, the software technologies underlying our platforms are inherently complex and may contain material defects or errors, particularly when new products are first introduced or when new features or capabilities are released. We have from time to time found defects or errors in our platforms, and new defects or errors in our existing platforms or new products may be detected in the future by us or our users. We cannot assure you that our existing platforms and new products will not contain defects. Any real or perceived errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs in our platforms could result in negative publicity or lead to data security, access, retention or other performance issues, all of which could harm our business. The costs incurred in correcting such defects or errors may be substantial and could harm our business. Moreover, the harm to our reputation and legal liability related to such defects or errors may be substantial and could similarly harm our business.
If we fail to timely release updates and new features to our platforms and adapt and respond effectively to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changing regulations, or changing customer needs, requirements or preferences, our platforms may become less competitive.
The markets in which we compete are subject to rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, and changing regulations, as well as changing customer needs, requirements and preferences. The success of our business will depend, in part, on our ability to adapt and respond effectively to these changes on a timely basis. Accordingly, our ability to increase our revenue depends in large part on our ability to maintain, improve and differentiate our existing platforms and introduce new functionality.
We must continue to improve existing features and add new features and functionality to our platforms in order to retain our existing customers and attract new ones. If the technology underlying our platforms become obsolete or do not address the needs of our customers, our business would suffer.
Revenue growth from our products depends on our ability to continue to develop and offer effective features and functionality for our customers and to respond to frequently changing data protection regulations, policies and end-user demands and expectations, which will require us to incur additional costs to implement. If we do not continue to improve our platforms with additional features and functionality in a timely fashion, or if improvements to our platforms are not well received by customers, our revenue could be adversely affected.
| 17 |
If we fail to deliver timely releases of our products that are ready for commercial use, release a new version, service, tool or update with material errors, or are unable to enhance our platforms to keep pace with rapid technological and regulatory changes or respond to new offerings by our competitors, or if new technologies emerge that are able to deliver competitive solutions at lower prices, more efficiently, more conveniently or more securely than our solutions, or if new operating systems, gaming platforms or devices are developed and we are unable to support our customers' deployment of games and other applications onto those systems, platforms or devices, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We are an "emerging growth company," and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies," including the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or Section 404, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our 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. Pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, as an emerging growth company, we may choose to elect to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards that are applicable to public companies, which may make our common stock less attractive to investors. In addition, if we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will no longer be able to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering; (2) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue is $1.07 billion or more; (3) the date on which we have, during the previous rolling three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (4) the date we qualify as a "large accelerated filer," with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates.
We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. For example, if we do not adopt a new or revised accounting standard, our future results of operations may not be as comparable to the results of operations of certain other companies in our industry that adopted such standards. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR ACQUISITION STRATEGY
We may be unable to obtain additional financing, if required, to fund the existing operations of the business, complete future acquisitions or to fund the development and commercialization of the companies, technologies, or intellectual property.
Our primary business strategy is to: 1) generate and increase revenues of existing subsidiary companies and 2) to further enhance our presence in the VR/AR market through the acquisition of additional VR/AR companies, technologies, or intellectual property. If our existing subsidiary companies do not achieve sufficient levels of revenue and profits, we may be required to seek additional financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities or other arrangements to finance the operations of the business.
| 18 |
Additionally, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully identify, acquire or profitably manage such additional companies, technologies, or intellectual property or successfully integrate these, if any, into the Glimpse ecosystem without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial problems. If potential acquisition targets are unwilling to accept our equity as the consideration for their businesses, then we may be required to seek additional financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities or other arrangements to finance the acquisition transaction. If we complete a business combination, we may require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of an acquisition target. Further, acquisitions involve a number of other special risks, including possible adverse effects on our operating results, diversion of management's attention, dependence on retention, hiring and training of key personnel, risks associated with unanticipated problems or legal liabilities, and realization of acquired intangible assets, some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that the companies, technologies, or intellectual property acquired in the future, if any, will generate anticipated revenues and earnings. As a result, we may be required to seek additional financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities or other arrangements. To the extent that we are unable to acquire additional companies, technologies, or intellectual property or integrate those successfully, our ability to generate and increase our revenues may be reduced significantly. As a result, we may be required to seek additional financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities or other arrangements. As an early-stage company, we cannot assure that such financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
With respect to our future acquisition strategy, no assurance can be made that we will have the funds necessary to make future acquisitions. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable, that fact will likely have a negative impact on our business and we may be compelled to restructure the operations of the business or abandon a particular contemplated business combination.
If we fail to integrate any existing or acquired subsidiaries into the Glimpse ecosystem, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the collaborative Glimpse ecosystem and the integration of any acquisitions, which could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Even though Glimpse's ecosystem provides a centralized corporate structure and the potential for cross company collaboration synergies, each subsidiary company has its own business development, technology development, sales team and general manager. Although we believe that the integration of our existing subsidiary companies has been a success, there is still continued risk that we may encounter difficulties related to continued integration of the existing subsidiary companies in the future. There is also the risk that the business development, sales team and general manager of a future acquired subsidiary are unsuccessful. Some of these risks are out of our control. Successfully integrating any acquired subsidiary may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than we anticipate, or we may not otherwise realize any of the anticipated benefits of such acquisition. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We have made a number of acquisitions in the past and we intend to make more acquisitions in the future. Our ability to identify complementary assets, products or businesses for acquisition and successfully integrate them could affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
In the future, we intend to continue to pursue acquisitions of assets, products or businesses that we believe are complementary to our existing business and/or to enhance our market position or expand our product portfolio. There is a risk that we will not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates available for sale at reasonable prices, complete any acquisition, or successfully integrate any acquired product or business into our operations. We may face competition for acquisition candidates from other parties including those that have substantially greater available resources. Acquisitions may involve a number of other risks, including:
| ● | diversion of management's attention from other subsidiaries; | |
| ● | disruption to our ongoing business; | |
| ● | failure to retain key acquired personnel; | |
| ● | difficulties in integrating acquired operations, technologies, products, or personnel; | |
| ● | unanticipated expenses, events, or circumstances; | |
| ● | assumption of disclosed and undisclosed liabilities; and |
| 19 |
| ● | inappropriate valuation of the acquired in-process R&D, or the entire acquired business. |
If we do not successfully address these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with an acquisition, the acquisition could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Problems with an acquired business could have a material adverse effect on our performance or our business as a whole. In addition, if we proceed with an acquisition, our available cash may be used to complete the transaction, diminishing our liquidity and capital resources, or shares may be issued which could cause significant dilution to existing shareholders.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
If we cannot obtain and maintain appropriate patent and other intellectual property rights protection for our technology, our business will suffer.
The value of our software and services is dependent on our ability to secure and maintain appropriate patent and other intellectual property rights protection. We intend to continue to pursue additional patent protection for our new software and technology. Although we own multiple patents covering our technology that have already been issued, we may not be able to obtain additional patents that we apply for, or that any of these patents, once issued, will give us commercially significant protection for our technology, or will be found valid if challenged. Moreover, we have not obtained patent protection for our technology in all foreign countries in which our products might be sold. In any event, the patent laws and enforcement regimes of other countries may differ from those of the United States as to the patentability of our personal display and related technologies and the degree of protection afforded.
Any patent or trademark owned by us may be challenged and invalidated or circumvented. Patents may not be issued from any of our pending or future patent applications. Any claims and issued patents or pending patent applications may not be broad or strong enough and may not be issued in all countries where our products can be sold or our technologies may not be licensed to provide meaningful protection against any commercial damage to us. Further, others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technologies, duplicate our technologies or design around the patents owned by us. Effective intellectual property protection may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise use aspects of our processes and devices that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary information and technology is difficult and our efforts to do so may not prevent misappropriation of our technologies. In the event that our intellectual property protection is insufficient to protect our intellectual property rights, we could face increased competition in the market for our products and technologies, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may become engaged in litigation to protect or enforce our patent and other intellectual property rights or in International Trade Commission proceedings to abate the importation of goods that would compete unfairly with our products. In addition, we may have to participate in interference or reexamination proceedings before the US Patent and Trademark Office, or in opposition, nullification or other proceedings before foreign patent offices, with respect to our patents or patent applications. All of these actions would place our patents and other intellectual property rights at risk and may result in substantial costs to us as well as a diversion of management attention. Moreover, if successful, these actions could result in the loss of patent or other intellectual property rights protection for the key technologies on which our business strategy depends.
In addition, we rely in part on unpatented proprietary technology, and others may independently develop the same or similar technology or otherwise obtain access to our unpatented technology. To protect our trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary information, we require employees, consultants, financial advisors and strategic partners to enter into confidentiality agreements. These agreements may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use, misappropriation or disclosure of those trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information. In particular, we may not be able to fully or adequately protect our proprietary information as we conduct discussions with potential strategic partners. If we are unable to protect the proprietary nature of our technology, it will harm our business.
| 20 |
Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, intellectual property laws afford us only limited protection. A third party could copy or otherwise obtain information from us without authorization. Accordingly, we may not be able to prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property or to deter others from developing similar products or services. Further, monitoring the unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, may result in counterclaims or other claims against us and could significantly harm our results of operations. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.
As is commonplace in technology companies, we employ individuals who were previously employed at other technology companies. To the extent our employees are involved in research areas that are similar to those areas in which they were involved at their former employers, we may be subject to claims that such employees or we have, inadvertently or otherwise, used or disclosed the alleged trade secrets or other proprietary information of the former employers. Litigation may be necessary to defend against such claims. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs to us and divert our resources.
We also depend on trade secret protection through confidentiality and license agreements with our employees, subsidiaries, licensees, licensors and others. We may not have agreements containing adequate protective provisions in every case, and the contractual provisions that are in place may not provide us with adequate protection in all circumstances. The unauthorized reproduction or other misappropriation of our intellectual property could diminish the value of our brand, competitive advantages or goodwill and result in decreased sales.
We may incur substantial costs or lose important rights as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to our products, patents and other intellectual property rights.
In recent years, there has been significant litigation involving patents and other intellectual property rights in many technology-related industries. Until recently, patent applications were retained in secrecy by the US Patent and Trademark Office until and unless a patent was issued. As a result, there may be US patent applications pending of which we are unaware that may be infringed by the use of our technology or a part thereof, thus substantially interfering with the future conduct of our business. In addition, there may be issued patents in the United States or other countries that are pertinent to our business of which we are not aware. We and our customers could be sued by other parties for patent infringement in the future. Such lawsuits could subject us and them to liability for damages or require us to obtain additional licenses that could increase the cost of our products, which might have an adverse effect on our sales.
In addition, in the future we may assert our intellectual property rights by instituting legal proceedings against others. We may not be able to successfully enforce our patents in any lawsuits we may commence. Defendants in any litigation we may commence to enforce our patents may attempt to establish that our patents are invalid or are unenforceable. Any patent litigation could lead to a determination that one or more of our patents are invalid or unenforceable. If a third party succeeds in invalidating one or more of our patents, we may experience greater competition from such party and from others. Our ability to derive sales from products or technologies covered by these patents could be adversely affected.
Whether we are defending the assertion of third party intellectual property rights against our business as a result of the use of our technology, or we are asserting our own intellectual property rights against others, such litigation can be complex, costly, protracted and highly disruptive to our business operations by diverting the attention and energies of management and key technical personnel. As a result, the pendency or adverse outcome of any intellectual property litigation to which we are subject could disrupt business operations, require the incurrence of substantial costs and subject us to significant liabilities, each of which could severely harm our business.
Plaintiffs in intellectual property cases often seek injunctive relief. Any intellectual property litigation commenced against us could force us to take actions that could be harmful to our business and thus to our sales, including the following:
● discontinuing selling the products that incorporate or otherwise use technology that contains our allegedly infringing intellectual property;
| 21 |
● attempting to obtain a license to the relevant third party intellectual property, which may not be available on reasonable terms or at all; or
● attempting to redesign our products to remove our allegedly infringing intellectual property.
If we are forced to take any of the foregoing actions, we may be unable to sell products that incorporate our technology at a profit or at all. Furthermore, the measure of damages in intellectual property litigation can be complex, and is often subjective or uncertain. If we were to be found liable for infringement of proprietary rights of a third party, the amount of damages we might have to pay could be substantial and is difficult to predict. Decreased sales of our products incorporating our technology would adversely affect our results of operations. Any necessity to procure rights to the third party technology might cause us to negotiate the royalty terms of the third party license which could increase our cost of production or, in certain cases, terminate our ability to build some of our products entirely.
Our failure to renew, register or otherwise protect our trademarks could have a negative impact on the value of our brand names and our ability to use those names in certain geographical areas.
We believe our copyrights and trademarks are integral to our success. We rely on trademark, copyright and other intellectual property laws to protect our proprietary rights. If we fail to properly register and otherwise protect our trademarks, service marks and copyrights, we may lose our rights, or our exclusive rights, to them. In that case, our ability to effectively market and sell our products and services could suffer, which could harm our business.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES AND OTHER RISKS
Following our initial public offering, our stock price may be volatile, and the value of our common stock may decline.
We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock will trade. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the trading price of our common stock include the following:
| ● | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial condition or results of operations; | |
| ● | variance in our financial performance from expectations of securities analysts; | |
| ● | changes in the pricing of the solutions on our platforms; | |
| ● | changes in our projected operating and financial results; | |
| ● | changes in laws or regulations applicable to our platforms; | |
| ● | announcements by us or our competitors of significant business developments, acquisitions or new offerings; | |
| ● | sales of shares of our common stock by us or our shareholders; | |
| ● | significant data breaches, disruptions to or other incidents involving our platforms; | |
| ● | our involvement in litigation; | |
| ● | conditions or developments affecting the AR and VR industries; | |
| ● | future sales of our common stock by us or our stockholders, as well as the anticipation of lock-up releases; | |
| ● | changes in senior management or key personnel; | |
| ● | the trading volume of our common stock; |
| 22 |
| ● | changes in the anticipated future size and growth rate of our market; | |
| ● | general economic and market conditions; and | |
| ● | other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, global pandemics or responses to these events. |
Broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, regulatory and market conditions, may also negatively impact the market price of our common stock. In addition, technology stocks have historically experienced high levels of volatility. In the past, companies who have experienced volatility in the market price of their securities have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future, which could result in substantial expenses and divert our management's attention.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish unfavorable or inaccurate research about our business, the market price and trading volume of our common stock could decline.
The market price and trading volume of our common stock is heavily influenced by the way analysts interpret our financial information and other disclosures. We do not have control over these analysts. If few securities analysts commence coverage of us, or if industry analysts cease coverage of us, our stock price would be negatively affected. If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, downgrade our common stock, or publish negative reports about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price to decline and could decrease the trading volume of our common stock.
We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future and, as a result, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and, subject to the discretionary dividend policy described in Part II, Item 5 of this report, we do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Accordingly, you may need to rely on sales of our common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on your investment.
We expect to incur substantial costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.
As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, which we expect to further increase after we are no longer an "emerging growth company." The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies. Our management and other personnel devotes a substantial amount of time to compliance with these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
An active trading market for our securities may not exist, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.
The price of our securities may vary significantly due to results of operation, general market or economic conditions. Furthermore, an active trading market for our securities may not exist or be sustained. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established and sustained.
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and distract our management, which could make it difficult to manage our business, particularly after we are no longer an "emerging growth company."
We are required to comply with various regulatory and reporting requirements, including those required by the SEC. Complying with these reporting and other regulatory requirements is time-consuming and results in increased costs to us and could have a negative effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.
| 23 |
As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the "Exchange Act") and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These requirements may place a strain on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. To maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, we need to commit significant resources, hire additional staff and provide additional management oversight. We will be implementing additional procedures and processes for the purpose of addressing the standards and requirements applicable to public companies. Sustaining our growth also will require us to commit additional management, operational and financial resources to identify new professionals to join our firm and to maintain appropriate operational and financial systems to adequately support expansion. These activities may divert management's attention from other business concerns, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock being offered for sale by the selling stockholders. Upon the exercise of the warrants for an aggregate of 750,000 shares of common stock assuming all payments are made by cash and there is no reliance on cashless exercise provisions, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants, or an aggregate of approximately $11.0 million, from the investors in the October 2021 Private Placement. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock. Brokerage fees, commissions and similar expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares offered hereby will be borne by the selling stockholder.
There is no assurance the warrants will be exercised for cash. We intend to use such proceeds, if any, for general corporate and working capital purposes.
DIVIDENDS POLICY
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. Although we currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, to fund the development and expansion of our business, we are committed, subject to the limitations on distributions under Nevada law, to pay certain distributions in the event (i) we sell the business of any of our subsidiaries; or (ii) we report consolidated net income on our fiscal year end audited financial statements. No assurances can be made that any such milestone will be achieved or if achieved that our Board of Directors will approve any distribution in connection therewith.
Distribution upon sale of business. In the event we sell all or substantially all of the business of any of our subsidiaries, whether by means of a merger, asset sale, stock sale or otherwise, for a price in excess of $10,000,000, we intend to distribute no less than 85% of the after-tax net proceeds for such sale. However, such distribution shall be subject to a determination by our Board of Directors that there exist no special circumstances that would prevent it from approving such distribution or the extent thereof. Such special circumstances could include, but not be limited to, the Company or any of its subsidiary companies contemplating or actively being engaged in a prospective acquisition or acquisitions that may require the use of such net proceeds, or other uses integral to the operations, growth or business development of any existing subsidiary company. Moreover, such distribution may be waived, in writing, by the holders of a majority of our securities holders entitled to vote, voting together as a single class.
Distribution of consolidated net income. In the event our annual audited financial statements report consolidated net income, we intend to distribute, within 90 days after completion of such audit, 10% of the consolidated net income for such fiscal year. However, such distribution shall be subject to a determination by our Board of Directors that there exist no special circumstances that would prevent it from approving such distribution or the extent thereof. Such special circumstances could include, but not be limited to, the Board of Directors determining that such distribution, which could have otherwise been reinvested into our existing businesses, would impair our ability to execute on our business strategy. Moreover, such distribution may be waived, in writing, by the holders of a majority of our securities holders entitled to vote, voting together as a single class.
Subject to the distribution intentions discussed above, any future determination regarding the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be subject to the limitations on distributions under Nevada law, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then-existing conditions, including our financial condition, operating results, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects, and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be restricted by any agreements we may enter into in the future.
OUR BUSINESS
The Glimpse Group, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiary companies, unless the context otherwise requires, referred to herein as "Glimpse Group," "Glimpse," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company") operates through eleven wholly-owned subsidiary companies.
History
The Glimpse Group, Inc. was incorporated on June 15, 2016, under the laws of the State of Nevada and is headquartered in New York, New York.
| 25 |
On July 6, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO"). In connection with the IPO, the Company's common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on and as of July 1, 2021. In conjunction with its IPO, the Company sold approximately 1.91 million shares of its common stock at $7.00 per share, raising approximately $11.82 million in net proceeds after fees and expenses.
On November 2, 2021, the Company closed the sale of 1.50 million shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 0.75 million shares of common stock to certain institutional investors in a private placement. The purchase price for one share of common stock and half a corresponding warrant was $10.00. The warrants have an exercise price of $14.68 per share and will expire five years from the date they can be exercised. The gross proceeds to the Company were approximately $13.6 million after deducting the placement agent's fees and other offering expenses.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
We are a Virtual ("VR") and Augmented ("AR") Reality platform company, comprised of a diversified group of wholly-owned and operated VR and AR companies, providing enterprise-focused software, services and solutions. We believe that we offer significant exposure to the rapidly growing and potentially transformative VR and AR markets, while mitigating downside risk via our diversified model and ecosystem.
Our platform of VR/AR subsidiary companies, collaborative environment and diversified business model aims to simplify the challenges faced by companies in the emerging VR/AR industry, potentially improving each subsidiary company's ability to succeed, while simultaneously providing investors an opportunity to invest directly into the emerging VR/AR industry via a diversified infrastructure.
Leveraging our platform, we strive to cultivate and manage the business operations of our VR/AR subsidiary companies, with the goal of allowing each underlying company to better focus on mission-critical endeavors, collaborate with the other subsidiary companies, reduce time to market, optimize costs, improve product quality and leverage joint go-to-market strategies. Subject to operational, market and financial developments and conditions, we intend to carefully add to our current portfolio of subsidiary companies via a combination of organic expansion and/or outside acquisition.
The VR/AR industry is an early-stage technology industry with nascent markets. We believe that this industry has significant growth potential across verticals, may be transformative and that our diversified platform and ecosystem create important competitive advantages. Our subsidiary companies currently target a wide array of industry verticals, including but not limited to: Corporate Training, Education, Healthcare, Branding/Marketing/Advertising, Retail, Financial Services, Food & Hospitality, Media & Entertainment, Architecture/Engineering/Construction ("AEC") and Social VR support groups and therapy. We do not currently target direct-to-consumer ("B2C') VR/AR software or services, only business-to-business ("B2B") and business-to-business-to-consumer ("B2B2C"), and we are hardware agnostic.
The Glimpse Platform
We develop, commercialize and market innovative and proprietary VR/AR software products, solutions and intellectual property ("IP"). Our platform is currently comprised of eleven active wholly-owned subsidiary companies, each targeting different industry segments in a non-competitive, collaborative manner. Our experienced management and dynamic VR/AR entrepreneurs have deep domain expertise, providing the foundation for value-add-collaborations throughout our ecosystem.
Each of our subsidiary companies share operational, financial and IP infrastructure, facilitating shorter time-to-market, higher quality products, reduced development costs, fewer redundancies, significant go-to-market synergies and, ultimately, a higher potential for success for each subsidiary company. We believe that our collaborative platform is unique and necessary, especially given the early nature of the VR/AR industry. By offering technologies and solutions in various industry segments, we aim to reduce dependency on any one single subsidiary company, technology or industry segment.
We believe that three core tenets enhance our probability of success: (1) our ecosystem of VR/AR companies, (2) diversification and (3) profitable growth.
| 26 |
(1) Our ecosystem of VR/AR software and service companies provides significant benefits to each subsidiary company and our group as a whole. We believe that the most notable benefits are: (a) economies of scale, cost efficiencies and reduced redundancies; (b) cross company collaboration, deep domain expertise, IP and knowledge transfer; (c) superior product offerings; (d) faster time to market; (e) enhanced business development and sales synergies; and (f) multiple monetization paths. In an emerging industry that is lacking in infrastructure, we believe that our ecosystem provides a distinct competitive advantage relative to a single, standalone company in the industry.
(2) By design, we incorporate multiple aspects of diversity to reduce the risks associated with an early stage industry, create multiple monetization venues and improve the probabilities of success. There is no single point of failure or dependency. This is created through: (a) ownership of numerous wholly-owned subsidiary companies operating in different industry segments; (b) targeting large industries with clear VR/AR use-cases; (c) developing and utilizing various technologies and IP; (d) expanding to different geographic technology centers in a hub model under our umbrella; and (e) across industries, having a wide array of customers and potential acquirers/investors.
(3) From our inception, we have prioritized achieving operational cash flow neutrality early in our life. This was an important factor that drove our strategy to: (a) focus on enterprise software and services, only onboarding companies that are generating revenues or clearly could in the short term; (b) target solutions that are based on use cases that have a clear return on investment ("ROI") and can be effectively developed from existing technologies and hardware; and (c) centralize costs to reduce inefficiencies. By targeting cash flow neutrality, our goal is to minimize dilution and support greater independence from capital markets, thereby increasing resiliency and maximizing upside potential.
As part of our platform, we provide a centralized corporate structure, which significantly reduces general and administrative costs (financial, operational, legal & IP), streamlines capital allocation and helps in coordinating business strategies. This allows our subsidiary company general managers to focus their time and effort almost exclusively on the core software, product and business development activities relating to their subsidiary.
Additionally, aligned economic incentives encourage cross-Company collaboration. All of our employees own equity in our Company. The leadership team of each subsidiary company, in addition to their equity ownership in Glimpse, also have an economic interest in their particular subsidiary company. This economic interest is negotiated with lead management of a subsidiary company upon their joining of our Company, and typically ranges between 5-10% of the total net sale proceeds of the subsidiary and includes a three-year vesting schedule. Thus, there is benefit to them not only when their subsidiary company succeeds but also when any of the other subsidiaries succeeds, and when Glimpse as a whole succeeds. We believe that this ownership mechanism is a strong driver of cross-pollination of ideas and fosters collaboration. While each subsidiary company owns its own IP, our parent company currently owns 100% of each subsidiary company. In addition, there will be perpetual licensing agreements between our subsidiary companies, so that if a subsidiary company is divested, then the remaining subsidiaries, if utilizing the IP of a divested subsidiary company, will continue to retain usage rights post-divestiture.

The purchase price for one share of common stock and half a corresponding warrant was $10.00. The warrants have an exercise price of $14.68 per share and will expire five years from the date they can be exercised. The gross proceeds to the Company were approximately $13.6 million after deducting the placement agent's fees and other offering expenses.
The VR and AR (XR) Markets
Virtual Reality (VR) fully immerses the user in a digital environment via a head mounted display ("HMD"), where the user is blocked out of their immediate physical environment. Augmented Reality (AR) is a less immersive experience, where the user views their immediate physical environment with digital images overlaid, via a phone, tablet or a dedicated HMD such as smart glasses. While distinct, VR and AR are related, utilize some similar underlying technologies and are expected to become increasingly interconnected - combined they are often referred to as Immersive Technology (XR).
| 30 |
VR and AR are emerging technologies, and the markets for them are still nascent. We believe that XR technologies and solutions have the potential to fundamentally transform how people and businesses interact, further enabling remote work, education and commerce. XR is also expected to increasingly interconnect with other emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, computer vision, big data, NFT and crypto currencies. Additionally, HMD and telecommunication (5G) advancements have been driving vast improvements in capabilities and ease of use, while significantly reducing headset cost. As a result, market adoption has accelerated and is expected to continue. Leading technology companies such as Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Sony and HP have been at the forefront of VR/AR hardware development and software infrastructure, while also increasing integration of their products with AR and VR capabilities.
Since Facebook released its first VR headset as a consumer product in 2016 (after its $2B+ acquisition of Oculus), successive iterations of it, as well as others, have become significantly lighter, more comfortable, lower priced, with higher resolution and increasingly wireless/mobile. With a standalone mobile headset, users no longer need an expensive gaming computer to power the headset and they also do not have a wire tethered to that computer restricting movement. These advances have facilitated easier corporate procurement and integration. The accelerating rollout of 5G should enable further improvement in user experience since with 5G, remote processing and heavier, real time applications become possible without noticeable visual lag, allowing for lighter, smaller, more comfortable HMDs with longer battery life.
Based on Artillery Intelligence's market forecasts, the VR and AR markets are forecasted to grow 31% in 2021 to over $9 billion, expanding at a 39% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the next three years, exceeding $35 billion by 2023. In particular, VR and AR enterprise software - the segment we are focused on - is projected to grow 59% in 2021 and expand at a 55% CAGR to more than $10 billion in 2023.
Business Development and Sales
We utilize a hybrid approach to the sales and distribution of our software products and services.
| 31 |
At our subsidiary company level, each company has its own business development and sales team, the size of which depends on its stage of development. Each subsidiary company's general manager is responsible for business development, and as the subsidiary gains market traction, its business development and sales team are expanded as needed.
Our subsidiary companies' business development and sales teams are enhanced by the shared resources and influence of our ecosystem. Our management takes an active role in the business development activities of each subsidiary company and in the overall development and integration of sale strategies, goals and budgets. As an integral part of the business development and sales processes, each subsidiary company's general manager is very familiar with the product offerings of other subsidiary companies and leverages those into his or her own efforts when appropriate. This leads to substantial cross marketing collaboration.
We believe that a subsidiary company's ability to demonstrate to potential customers scale as part of our ecosystem of companies, combined with our subsidiary's ability to offer its products and solutions as well as those of our other subsidiary companies in an integrated manner, represents a key competitive advantage. We believe our customers often view us as a "one-stop-shop" for all their VR/AR needs and an expert in the emerging VR/AR space.
We and our subsidiary companies continue to develop a shared partner ecosystem to further scale business and expand our solutions into new and existing target markets.
Competitive Environment
We believe that our competitors in the VR/AR industry are focused on two primary segments: VR/AR Hardware (headsets) and Software.
VR/AR Hardware (Headsets) ("Hardware"):
We do not develop any Hardware, and our software and service solutions are mostly compatible with any Hardware. We believe that Hardware development, commercialization and distribution are highly capital intensive and there is not yet large enough scale or mass adoption in the VR/AR industry to justify such expenditures for a smaller company. As such, there are relatively few participants on the Hardware side, some very large (for example: Facebook/Oculus, Microsoft, Samsung, Google, Apple, HTC, HP, Lenovo, Sony and Epson) and some much smaller (for example: Magic Leap, Pico, Valve and Vuzix). In general, Hardware cycles have been accelerating and performance improving, with simplified usability and reduced end-user costs. The more advanced, easier to use and cheaper the Hardware becomes, the higher the potential for the development of robust software applications and increased market adoption of VR/AR solutions.
VR/AR Software ("Software"):
In contrast to VR/AR Hardware, Software is highly fragmented with hundreds of VR/AR Software companies targeting different segments and solutions. Many are consumer oriented, whereas we are entirely enterprise focused (B2B, B2B2C). We believe that the AR/VR Software segment is currently far less competitive than traditional software markets, as most companies in the space tend to be early stage and often underfunded.
While competition is evolving and increasing, there is currently no dominant player in any particular VR/AR Software segment. We believe that we have the potential to become a leader in the VR/AR Software space in general and that each of our subsidiary companies has the potential to become a significant player in their particular industry sector.
As previously described, we believe that our structure, ecosystem and integrated capabilities create significant competitive advantages for each of our subsidiary companies, not available to other Software companies in the VR/AR space. By owning and operating a diverse set of VR/AR companies, we believe that we significantly improve each of our subsidiary company's ability to succeed by addressing many of the challenges early stage companies face and expanding each's opportunity set and capabilities.
| 32 |
We believe that there are a select number of earlier stage companies of approximately our size that provide VR/AR Software and could be viewed as potential competitors. In addition, several of the larger technology players provide general infrastructure VR/AR Software. In particular: ARCore from Google and ARKit from Apple, which enable AR functionality on smartphones and tablets; and Unity and Epic Unreal, which enable software languages used in VR and AR programing. We do not view these larger companies as competition, but rather as complementary to our business. We believe infrastructure software benefits us, and the industry at large, as they are not industry specific and enable companies like us to more effectively build industry specific solutions, thereby saving significant costs and development efforts.
Platform Expansion and Diversification Strategy
As described above in "Competitive Environment," the VR/AR software and services industries are highly fragmented. There are numerous potential acquisition targets that, while having established a niche market position, product or technology, have limited resources and ability to pursue growth initiatives. We intend to leverage our position and relative scale in the industry in order to continue to add to our platform both earlier stage companies and technologies and, subject to the availability of capital and appropriate targets, more mature companies. Beyond the expected financial impact of each such potential addition, these could also enhance our ecosystem, technology, scale and competitive position. These potential acquisitions may be domestic or international. If there is sufficient scale in a certain geographic location (beyond our current NYC headquarters), then a new hub may be established in such location, with several subsidiary companies operating in that hub, under the overall Glimpse umbrella.
Strategic Divestitures
Each one of our subsidiary companies has the potential to be divested or spun off. Although the purpose of our platform is to grow and develop the ecosystem on which each of our subsidiaries can mature by benefitting from collaboration, each subsidiary company targets a specific industry vertical (i.e. Healthcare, Education, Corporate Training, etc.) and as such has a distinct set of potential acquirers or investors. If a subsidiary company is divested and the proceeds are substantive, then our intent is to distribute the majority of the net proceeds to our shareholder base, if such distribution would not jeopardize our growth and operations.
Intellectual Property
Our intellectual property is an integral part of our business strategy and practice. In accordance with industry practice, we protect our proprietary products, technology and competitive advantage through a combination of contractual provisions and trade secrets, patents, copyright and trademark laws in the United States and other jurisdictions where business is conducted.
As of the date of this disclosure and summarized in the table below, we have filed thirteen (13) patent applications, four (4) of which have been issued and one (1) allowed and registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the "USPTO").

We may continue to file for patents regarding various aspects of our products, services and technologies at a later date depending on the costs and timing associated with such filings. We may make investments to further strengthen our copyright protection going forward, although no assurances can be given that we will be successful in such patent and trademark protection endeavors. We seek to limit disclosure of our intellectual property by requiring employees, consultants, and partners with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements and non-competition agreements (when applicable) and by restricting access to our proprietary information. Due to rapid technological change, we believe that establishing and maintaining an industry and technology advantage in factors such as the expertise and technological and creative skills of our personnel, as well as new services and enhancements to our existing services, are more important to our business and profitability than other available legal protections.
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our services or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. The laws of many countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement. Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. There can be no assurance that our means of protecting our proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar services or products. Any failure by us to adequately protect our intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. See "Risk Factors-Risks Related to our Business."
Business Cycles
Based on our history and information available to date, we have not been able to identify any seasonality of cycles within our business. Since VR/AR is an emerging industry, market and customer education are material and the length of the typical sales cycle can be between 3 and 18 months, depending on the size and complexity of the proposed solution and the customer's level of understanding of the VR/AR space and prior experience.
Economic Dependence
Two customers accounted for approximately 70% (56% and 14%, respectively) of the Company's total gross revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2021. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues for the period. For the year ended June 30, 2021, one customer mentioned above accounted for approximately 27% of our revenues and a different customer from above accounted for another approximately 23% of our revenues. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues for the year ended June 30, 2021.
We operate in an early stage industry, and customers are exploring various options for AR and VR solutions and acting as early adopters of VR and AR solutions. As such, there is a high degree of variance on our source of revenues while customers are on-boarded and our software product and solutions are integrated, measured and digested. A customer that may account for a higher concentration of revenue in one period may not account for any revenue in subsequent periods. In some cases those customers could re-engage after they have evaluated our solutions and may or may not be a source of future revenue.
As such, customers that make up a significant portion of revenues in one period, often do not make up a significant portion in other periods. Given this dynamic, which has continued both prior and subsequent to the reported periods, we expect this variability in Customer Concentration to continue until such point in time when our revenue has reached larger scale, and with a larger portion of our revenues coming from Software Licenses/SaaS. While there has been consistent oscillation in Customer Concentration from period-to-period, a significant reduction in revenue from our larger customers could have a material negative impact on our operations.
| 35 |
Typically, customer contracts can be canceled at any time by the customer upon 30-90 day written notice (depending on the size of the contract). In such an event, the customer would owe the Company unpaid amounts up until the point of cancelation. We typically charge 25-50% of the contract value upfront and the amounts are usually not refundable, mitigating some of the contract cancellation risk. While it does happen on occasion, it is rare that a signed contract is canceled.
Facilities
We are based in New York, New York. Our current facilities are leased and adequate to meet our ongoing needs. If we require additional space or expand geographically, we may seek additional facilities on commercially reasonable terms at such time. Due to Covid-19 constraints, since March 2020 our personnel have been working primarily on a remote basis, without detrimental effects. We returned to partial in person work in July 2021 and expect to continue as such for the foreseeable future, subject to Covid-19 developments.
We also lease a small office in Izmir, Turkey for the operations of Glimpse Turkey.
Human Capital
We currently have approximately 90 full time employees and consultants, primarily software developers, engineers and 3D artists.
Corporate Information
Information contained on our websites, including www.theglimpsegroup.com, shall not be deemed to be part of this filing or incorporated herein by reference and should not be relied upon by prospective investors for the purposes of determining whether to invest in the Company.
Legal Proceedings
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is our property the subject of a pending legal proceeding, that is not in the ordinary course of business or otherwise material to the financial condition of our business. None of our directors, officers or affiliates are involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or have a material interest adverse to our business.
Impact of COVID-19
In January 2020, an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. Through the first quarter of 2020, the disease became widespread around the world, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic. Our business and operations have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, as have the markets in which our customers operate. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused and continues to cause significant business and financial markets disruption worldwide and there is significant uncertainty around the duration of this disruption and its ongoing effects on our business. This has primarily manifested itself in prolonged sales cycles.
In March 2020, we required substantially all of our employees to work remotely to minimize the risk of the virus. While working remotely has proven to be effective to this point, it may eventually inhibit our ability to operate the business effectively. In the summer of 2021, we returned to non-remote, in-person office work, initially several days per week for our New York area based employees.
We continue to closely monitor the situation and the effects on our business and operations. While uncertainty remains, given the current state of the pandemic, our expected revenue growth and current cash balance, we do not expect the impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations to worsen going forward.

Significant Transactions
On July 1, 2021, we completed an initial public offering ("IPO") of common stock and initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "VRAR", at an initial public offering price of $7.00 per share. In conjunction with the IPO and the underwriter's exercise of its over-allotment option, we sold 1,912,500 shares of common stock and realized net proceeds (after underwriting, professional fees and listing expenses) of $11.82 million.
In August 2021, we completed an acquisition of certain assets from Augmented Reality Investments Pty Ltd, an Australia based company providing augmented reality software and services to the Architecture, Engineering and Construction market segments. Initial consideration for the purchase was $0.75 million payable by the issuance of 77,264 shares of our common stock. Additional consideration in the form of our common stock shall be issued if certain future revenue growth targets are achieved.
In October 2021, we completed an acquisition of certain assets from XR Terra, Inc., a developer of teaching platforms utilized in coding software used in VR and AR programming. Initial consideration for the purchase is $0.60 million payable 50% in our common stock and 50% in cash. In October 2021, the Company paid $0.30 million cash and issued 33,877 shares of common stock to satisfy the purchase price. Additional consideration in the form of our common stock shall be issued if certain future revenue growth targets are achieved.
On November 2, 2021, we, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, closed the sale of 1.50 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 0.75 million shares of common stock to certain institutional investors in a private placement. The warrants have an exercise price of $14.68 per share. The purchase price for one share of common stock and half a corresponding warrant was $10.00. The gross proceeds to us from the private placement offering was approximately $13.6 million after deducting the placement agent's fees and other offering expenses.
Overview
We are a Virtual ("VR") and Augmented ("AR") Reality platform company, comprised of a diversified group of wholly-owned and operated VR and AR companies, providing enterprise-focused software, services and solutions. We believe that we offer significant exposure to the rapidly growing and potentially transformative VR and AR markets, while mitigating downside risk via our diversified model and ecosystem.

We were incorporated as The Glimpse Group, Inc. in the State of Nevada, on June 15, 2016 and are headquartered in New York, New York. We currently own and actively operate eleven, wholly-owned subsidiary companies ("Subsidiary Companies", "Subsidiaries") as represented in the below organizational charts:
Impact of COVID-19
In January 2020, an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. Through the first quarter of 2020, the disease became widespread around the world, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic. Our business and operations have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, as have the markets in which our customers operate. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused and continues to cause significant business and financial markets disruption worldwide and there is significant uncertainty around the duration of this disruption and its ongoing effects on our business. While we demonstrated continued revenue growth in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended June 30, 2021, notwithstanding this growth, management believes growth could have been higher if not for the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw the length of our sale cycles generally increase by several months and some of our customers have put purchase decisions on hold, in particular customers in our hospital and education segments. While several of these delays have since materialized into contracts, it is yet to be determined whether outstanding delays are permanent. In other instances, customers have requested payment schedule extensions, but have eventually paid in full. We are encouraged by the passage of various U.S. Government assistance programs which may accelerate recovery, especially relating to hospitals and educational institutions.
Overall, our accounts receivable loss ratio was, and remains, nominal and revenue collection on signed and executed contracts has not been impacted. To date, we have not had to reduce headcount as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is due to infusion of capital in May 2020 from a Paycheck Protection Program loan (PPP1) of approximately $548,000, an additional Paycheck Protection Program loan (PPP2) of approximately $623,000 in February 2021, and the overall performance of our business.
In March 2020, we required substantially all of our employees to work remotely to minimize the risk of the virus. While working remotely has proven to be effective to this point, it may eventually inhibit our ability to operate the business effectively. In the summer of 2021, we returned to non-remote, in-person office work, initially several days per week for our New York area based employees.
We continue to closely monitor the situation and the effects on our business and operations. While uncertainty remains, given the current state of the pandemic, our expected revenue growth and current cash balance, we do not expect the impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations to worsen going forward.

The following information should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in our financial statements, we believe the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the balances of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The principal estimates relate to the valuation of allowance for doubtful accounts, common stock, stock options and cost of goods sold.
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted the new accounting standard, Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ("ASC 606") beginning on July 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method for all open contracts and related amendments. The adoption did not result in an adjustment to the accumulated deficit as of September 30, 2021. The comparative information was not restated and continued to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on reported sales to customers and net earnings (losses).
The Company applies the following steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
| ● | identify the contract with a customer; | |
| ● | identify the performance obligations in the contract; | |
| ● | determine the transaction price; | |
| ● | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and | |
| ● | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied and collection is reasonably assured. |
Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract by transferring the promised product to its customer that obtains control of the product and collection is reasonably assured. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer. Most of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer products or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct.
Any unrecognized portion of revenue and any corresponding unrecognized expenses are presented as deferred revenue and deferred costs, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Deferred costs include cash and equity based payroll costs, and may include payments to vendors.
| 39 |
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services. As such, revenue is recorded net of returns, allowances, customer discounts, and incentives. Sales taxes and other taxes are excluded from revenues.
Significant Judgments
The Company's customer contracts may include promises to transfer multiple products/services. Determining whether products/services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Further, judgment may be required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company generates revenue by delivering: (i) Software Services, consisting primarily of VR/AR software projects, solutions and consulting services, and (ii) Software License and SaaS, consisting primarily of VR and AR software licenses or SaaS.
Revenue for Software Services projects and solutions is recognized at the point of time in which the customer obtains control of the project, customer accepts delivery and confirms completion of the project.
Revenue for Software Services consulting services and website maintenance is recognized at the point of time in which the Company performs the services, typically on a monthly retainer basis.
Revenue for Software License and SaaS is recognized at the point of time in which the Company delivers the software and customer accepts delivery. If there are contractually stated ongoing service obligations to be performed during the term of the Software License or SaaS contract, then revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
The Company currently generates its revenues primarily from customers in the United States.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due from customers under normal trade terms. Allowances for uncollectible accounts are provided for based upon a variety of factors, including historical amounts written-off, an evaluation of current economic conditions, and assessment of customer collectability. As of September 30, 2021, no allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded as all amounts were considered collectible.
Employee Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to grants to employees or service providers based on grant date fair values of common stock or the stock options, which are amortized over the requisite period, as well as forfeitures as they occur.
The Company values the options using the Black-Scholes Merton ("Black Scholes") method utilizing various inputs such as expected term, expected volatility and the risk-free rate. The expected term reflects the application of the simplified method, which is the weighted average of the contractual term of the grant and the vesting period for each tranche. Expected volatility is derived from a weighted average of volatility inputs for comparable software and technology service companies. The risk-free rate is based on the implied yield of U.S. Treasury notes as of the grant date with a remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the award.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred, and include payroll, employee benefits and stock-based compensation expense. Research and development expenses also include third-party development and programming costs. Given the nascent industry and uncertain market environment the Company operates in, research and development costs are not capitalized.

Recently Issued Pronouncements
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments under this pronouncement will change the way all leases with durations of one year or more are treated. Under this guidance, lessees will be required to capitalize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated financing lease liability or capital lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Based on certain characteristics, leases are classified as financing leases or operating leases. Financing lease liabilities, those that contain provisions similar to capitalized leases, are amortized in the same manner as capital leases are amortized under current accounting rules, as amortization expense and interest expense in the statement of operations. Operating lease liabilities are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as lease expense in the statement of operations. The Company does not expect to adopt this standard prior to July 1, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued a new standard to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates (Accounting Standards Codification - "ASC" 326). The Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivable, loans, and other financial instruments. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities, if any, will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. As an emerging growth company, the Company does not expect to adopt this standard prior to July 1, 2023.
Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 to simplify the accounting in ASC 740, Income Taxes. This standard removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also clarifies and simplifies other areas of ASC 740. The Company does not expect to adopt this standard prior to July 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

| Total Revenue | $ | 1.02 | $ | 0.26 | $ | 0.76 | 292 | % |
Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $1.02 million compared to approximately $0.26 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of 292%. This growth was primarily due to the addition of new customers.
We break out our revenues into two main categories - Software Services and Software License.
| ● | Software Services revenues are primarily comprised of VR/AR projects, services related to our software licenses and consulting retainers. | |
| ● | Software License revenues are comprised of the sale of our internally developed VR/AR software as licenses or as software-as-a-service ("SaaS"). |
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, Software Services revenue was approximately $0.80 million compared to approximately $0.19 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 321%. This growth was primarily due to the addition of new customers.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, Software License revenue was approximately $0.22 million compared to approximately $0.07 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 214%. As the VR and AR industries continue to mature, we expect our Software License revenue to continue to grow on an absolute basis and as an overall percentage of total revenue.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, non-project revenue (i.e., VR/Software and services revenue only), was approximately $0.86 million compared to approximately $0.14 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 514%. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, non-project revenue accounted for approximately 84% of total revenues compared to approximately 54% for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
Customer Concentration
Two customers accounted for approximately 70% (56% and 14%, respectively) of the Company's total gross revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Four different customers accounted for approximately 53% (19%, 13%, 11% and 10%, respectively) of the Company's total gross revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
We operate in an early stage industry, and customers are exploring various options for AR and VR solutions and acting as early adopters of VR and AR solutions. As such, there is a high degree of variance on our source of revenues while customers are on-boarded and our software product and solutions are integrated, measured and digested. A customer that may account for a higher concentration of revenue in one period may not account for any revenue in subsequent periods. In some cases those customers could re-engage after they have evaluated our solutions and may or may not be a source of future revenue. As such, customers that make up a significant portion of revenues in one period, often do not make up a significant portion in other periods. Given this dynamic, which has continued both prior and subsequent to the reported periods, we expect this variability in Customer Concentration to continue until such point in time when our revenue has reached larger scale, and with a larger portion of our revenues coming from Software Licenses/SaaS. Due to the consistent oscillation in Customer Concentration from period-to-period, we do not view Customer Concentration as a material issue at this time.

| Gross Profit | $ | 0.87 | $ | 0.12 | $ | 0.75 | 625 | % | ||||||||
| Gross Profit Margin | 85 | % | 46 | % |
Gross profit was approximately 85% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to approximately 46% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was driven by the increase in non-project revenue which produces higher margin and improved management of project revenue costs of goods sold.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were approximately $2.27 million compared to $1.36 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 67%. This increase was driven by increased employee headcount to support growth and the incurrence of expenses specific to Glimpse being a publicly traded company.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were approximately $0.99 million compared to $0.74 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 34%. This reflects increased use of fulltime employee headcount. Going forward, we expect research and development costs to continue to increase as we continue to develop and commercialize our software products.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, non-cash stock option expenses relating to research and development included approximately $0.35 million of employee compensation expenses, comprising approximately 35% of total research and development expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, non-cash stock option expenses relating to research and development included approximately $0.40 million of employee compensation expenses, comprising approximately 54% of total research and development expenses. Over time, we expect non-cash stock options and common stock research and development expenses, as a percentage of the total related expenses, to continue to decrease as we utilize a larger portion of cash for compensation.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were approximately $0.78 million compared to $0.34 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 129%. The increase reflects additional headcount, related cash compensation and other expenses to build infrastructure to support the operations of a public company (i.e., public company directors & officers liability insurance, investor relation and public listing fees, additional legal and accounting fees, and additional independent board members).
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, non-cash stock option and common stock expenses relating to general and administrative expenses included approximately $0.22 million of employee, board of directors and other compensation expenses, comprising approximately 28% of total general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, non-cash stock option and common stock expenses relating to general and administrative expenses included approximately $0.14 million of employee, board of directors and other compensation expenses, comprising approximately 41% of total general and administrative expenses. Over time, we expect non-cash stock options and common stock general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of the total related expenses, to continue to decrease as we utilize a larger portion of cash for compensation.
| 43 |
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were approximately $0.50 million compared to $0.29 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 72%. The increase was driven by an employee bonus related to year-to-date revenue milestones met during the current quarter and internal reallocations between operating functions. As our subsidiary companies continue to establish initial market traction and grow their revenue base, we expect to increase our business development and sales expenses.
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, non-cash stock option and common stock expenses relating to sales and marketing expenses included approximately $0.13 million of employee compensation expense, comprising approximately 26% of total sales and marketing expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, non-cash stock option and common stock expenses relating to sales and marketing expenses included approximately $0.11 million of employee, vendor and fee compensation expenses, comprising approximately 38% of total sales and marketing expenses. This non-cash period-to-period decrease reflects cash bonus compensation representing a greater percentage of total sales and marketing expense.
Other Income and Expense, net
Other income and expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was an expense of $0.26 million as compared to an expense of $0.04 million during the prior period, an increase in expense of $0.22 million. This increase primarily reflects the $0.28 million non-cash loss on conversion of convertible notes to common stock as a result of the July 1, 2021 initial public offering, offset by a decrease of approximately $0.05 million in non-cash interest expense on the notes in the prior period.
Net Losses
We sustained a net loss of $1.66 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to a net loss of $1.28 million for the prior period, a loss increase of $0.38 million or 30%. This reflects a period-over-period increase in revenue and related gross profit, offset by an increase in operating expenses and the incurrence of a non-cash loss on conversion of convertible notes to common stock as a result of the July 1, 2021 initial public offering and a decrease in non-cash interest expense.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following discussion and analysis includes both financial measures in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included or excluded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental to, and should not be considered as alternatives to, net income, operating income, and cash flow from operating activities, liquidity or any other financial measures. They may not be indicative of the historical operating results of the Company nor are they intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our management uses and relies on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that both management and shareholders benefit from referring to the following non-GAAP financial measures in planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods.
Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management recognizes that the non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations because of the described excluded items.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (or loss) from continuing operations before the items in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of our operating performance because it allows management, investors and analysts to evaluate and assess our core operating results from period-to-period after removing the impact of items of a non-operational nature that affect comparability.
| 44 |
We have included a reconciliation of our financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to the most comparable non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that providing the non-GAAP financial measures, together with the reconciliation to GAAP, helps investors make comparisons between the Company and other companies. In making any comparisons to other companies, investors need to be aware that companies use different non-GAAP measures to evaluate their financial performance. Investors should pay close attention to the specific definition being used and to the reconciliation between such measures and the corresponding GAAP measures provided by each company under applicable SEC rules.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Total revenue for the year ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $3.42 million compared to approximately $1.95 million for the year ended June 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 75%. This growth was due to the addition of new customers and increased business with some of our existing customers.
We break out our revenues into two main categories - Software Services and Software License.
| ● | Software Services revenues are primarily comprised of VR/AR projects, services related to our software licenses and consulting retainers. | |
| ● | Software License revenues are comprised of the sale of our internally developed VR/AR software as licenses or as software-as-a-service ("SaaS"). |
For the year ended June 30, 2021, Software Services revenue was approximately $3.08 million compared to approximately $1.78 million for the year ended June 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 73%. This growth was due to the addition of new customers and increased business with some of our existing customers.
For the year ended June 30, 2021, Software License revenue was approximately $0.34 million compared to approximately $0.17 for the for the year ended June 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 100%. As the VR and AR industries continue to mature, we expect our Software License revenue to continue to grow on an absolute basis and as an overall percentage of total revenue.
For the year ended June 30, 2021, non-project revenue (i.e. VR/AR software and services revenue only), was approximately $1.73 million compared to approximately $0.51 million for the year ended June 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 239%. For the year ended June 30, 2021, non-project revenue accounted for approximately 50.6% of total revenues compared to approximately 26.1% for the year ended June 30, 2020.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue for the year ended June 30, 2021 was $1.46 million compared to $1.14 million for the year ended June 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 28%. Cost of revenue was driven by the increase in revenue and primarily attributable to internal staffing costs and, to a lesser degree, third-party expenses.
For the year ended June 30, 2021, our gross profit was approximately $1.96 million representing a gross profit margin of approximately 57%, compared to a gross profit of approximately $0.81 million representing a gross profit margin of approximately 42% for the year ended June 30, 2020. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to an increase in services and Software License revenue, improved project management and higher utilization of internal staff. Our cash-based gross profit margin, excluding stock option based cost of revenue expenses, was approximately 74% for the year ended June 30, 2021 compared to approximately 53% for the year ended June 30, 2020.
For the year ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, internal staffing was approximately $1.35 million (92% of total Cost of Revenue) and approximately $1.02 million (89% of total Cost of Revenue), respectively. As we expand our internal headcount of engineers, software developers and 3D artists we have had less of a need for more expensive external staffing - a benefit of increased scale in the business.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended June 30, 2021 were approximately $6.67 million compared to $5.73 million for the year ended June 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 16%, primarily due to increases in research and development and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a decrease in sales and marketing expense.

Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended June 30, 2021 were approximately $1.27 million compared to $1.46 million for the year ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of approximately 13%. The decrease was primarily due to reduced commission expenses and internal reallocations between operating functions. As our subsidiary companies continue to establish initial market traction and grow their revenue base, we expect to increase our business development and sales expenses.
For the year ended June 30, 2021, non-cash stock option and common stock expenses relating to sales and marketing included approximately $0.57 million of employee, vendor and fee compensation expenses, comprising approximately 45% of total sales and marketing expenses. For the year ended June 30, 2020, non-cash stock option and common stock expenses relating to sales and marketing included approximately $0.35 million of employee, vendor and fee compensation expenses, comprising approximately 24% of total sales and marketing expenses. This non-cash period-to-period increase was primarily due to the hiring of temporary staff, which were compensated with stock options only.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2021 were approximately $3.18 million compared to $2.43 million for the year ended June 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 31%. Going forward, we expect research and development costs to continue to increase as we continue to develop and commercialize our software products.
For the year ended June 30, 2021, non-cash stock option expenses relating to research and development included approximately $1.38 million of employee compensation expenses, comprising approximately 43% of total research and development expenses. For the year ended June 30, 2020, non-cash stock option expenses relating to research and development included approximately $1.27 million of employee compensation expenses, comprising approximately 52% of total research and development expenses. Over time, we expect non-cash stock options and common stock research and development expenses, as a percentage of the total related expenses, to continue to decrease as we utilize a larger portion of cash in compensation.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2021 were approximately $2.22 million compared to $1.84 million for the year ended June 30, 2020, an increase of approximately 21%. Increases in cash compensation, headcount and executive bonuses were offset by decreases in non-cash stock and option compensation and goodwill impairment.
For the year ended June 30, 2021, non-cash stock option and common stock expenses relating to general and administrative included approximately $0.70 million of employee, board of directors and other compensation expenses, comprising approximately 31.5% of total general and administrative expenses. For the year ended June 30, 2020, non-cash stock option and common stock expenses relating to general and administrative expenses included approximately $0.92 million of employee, board of directors and other compensation expenses, comprising approximately 50.0% of total general and administrative expenses. Over time, we expect non-cash stock options and common stock general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of the total related expenses, to continue to decrease as we utilize a larger portion of cash in compensation.

Other Income (Expenses)
Other income (expenses), net for the year ended June 30, 2021 consisted of other net expenses of approximately $1.38 million compared to other net expenses of approximately $0.07 million for the year ended June 30, 2020, an increase of greater than 1,000%. The increase was primarily due to non-cash expenses of approximately $1.25 million of accrued expenses relating to past acquisitions, triggered by the Company's July 1, 2021 IPO, $0.52 million in non- cash expenses due to conversions of unsecured convertible promissory notes, and $0.18 million non-cash interest expense on the Company's unsecured convertible promissory notes. These expenses were offset by non-cash income of approximately $0.55 million related to the full forgiveness of the Company's Paycheck Protection Program (PPP1) loan.
Net loss
For the year ended June 30, 2021, we incurred a net loss from operations of approximately $4.71 million compared to a net loss of approximately $4.92 million for the year ended June 30, 2020, an improvement of approximately 4% year-over-year, primarily driven by increases in revenues and profit margins which outpaced an increase in operating expenses.
For the year ended June 30, 2021, we incurred a net loss of approximately $6.09 million compared to a net loss of approximately $4.99 million for the year ended June 30, 2020, a decline of approximately 22% year-over-year, primarily driven by an increase in other expenses which were primarily one time in nature.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $1.05 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $0.16 million during the prior period, an increase of approximately $0.89 million. This primarily reflects an increase in net loss of approximately $0.38 million, a decrease in deferred revenue/deferred costs of approximately $0.38 million and one-time cash payments of approximately $0.49 million related to Glimpse becoming a public company; offset by the non-cash loss on conversion of convertible notes of approximately $0.28 million.

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $1.21 million, compared to approximately $2.02 million for the year ended June 30, 2020, an improvement of approximately 40% driven by increased revenues and cash gross margins, along with increases in non-cash compensation expenses in lieu of cash payments. We expect net cash from operating activities to be negative in the coming periods, however it should continue to improve as our revenue increases and economies of scale improve.
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.03 million for both years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. In both years our investing activities were primarily comprised of purchases of computer equipment.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $1.97 million, comprised of: issuance of $1.475 million of unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes 2, a $0.624 million Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP2") loan and approximately $0.346 million from the issuance of common stock to investors at $4.50 per share. These were partially offset by approximately $0.47 million in financing costs related to the IPO.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $1.89 million, primarily comprised of the issuance of approximately $1.33 million of unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes 1 and a $0.55 million Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP1") loan.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Please see Note 3 of our June 30, 2021 consolidated financial statements that describe the impact, if any, from the adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Estimated Cash Requirements over the Next Twelve Months
We continue to strive to approach operational cash break-even from our existing operations. Our estimated cash operating expense requirements over the next 12 months for our existing operations is approximately $8.4 million. However, this amount does not take into account any incoming revenue collections or potential proceeds from investment capital, either of which may match or exceed this amount. In addition, our current cash balance significantly exceeds our operational cash requirements over the next 12 months. Lastly, over 80% of our costs are variable (headcount related) and, if needed, we have a high degree of flexibility to reduce costs as needed.
An element in our future growth strategy are potential acquisitions. Historically, the purchase price of our acquisitions was primarily equity based. Going forward, while equity is expected to continue to be a primary source of payment in any acquisition we may make, we may also utilize some portion of cash in an acquisition.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an "emerging growth company", as defined in the JOBS Act, and, for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to have our independent registered public accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our 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. As an emerging growth company we can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We intend to avail ourselves of these options. Once adopted, we must continue to report on that basis until we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company.
We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of: (i) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering; (ii) the first fiscal year after our annual gross revenues are $1.07 billion or more; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; or (iv) the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these exemptions. If, as a result of our decision to reduce future disclosure, investors find our common stock less attractive, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and the price of our common stock may be more volatile.

Code of Ethics
On April 14, 2021, our board of directors adopted our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. The code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business.
Director or Officer Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To our knowledge, (i) no director or executive officer has been a director or executive officer of any business which has filed a bankruptcy petition or had a bankruptcy petition filed against it during the past ten years; (ii) no director or executive officer has been convicted of a criminal offense or is the subject of a pending criminal proceeding during the past ten years; (iii) no director or executive officer has been the subject of any order, judgment or decree of any court permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities during the past ten years; and (iv) no director or officer has been found by a court to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law during the past ten years.
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Although we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions should be separate or combined, in the past we determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to combine these roles.
Our Board of Directors receives and reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others, as considered appropriate regarding our Company's assessment of risks. Our Board of Directors focuses on the most significant risks facing our Company and our Company's general risk management strategy and ensures that risks undertaken by us are consistent with the Board's appetite for risk. While the Board oversees our Company's risk management, management is responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing our Company and that our board leadership structure and role in risk oversight is effective.
Director Compensation
Because we are still in the development stage, our directors do not receive any cash compensation other than reimbursement for expenses incurred during the performance of their duties or their separate duties as officers of the Company.

Risk Management
The Company does not believe risks arising from its compensation policies and practices for its employees are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Director Independence
The Board evaluates the independence of each nominee for election as a director of our Company in accordance with the Listing Rules (the "Nasdaq Listing Rules") of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"). Pursuant to these rules, a majority of our Board must be "independent directors" within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, and all directors who sit on our Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee must also be independent directors.
The Nasdaq definition of "independence" includes a series of objective tests, such as the director or director nominee is not, and was not during the last three years, an employee of Glimpse or our Subsidiaries and has not received certain payments from, or engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as further required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist, which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with such individual's exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities as a director. In making these determinations, the Board reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors with regard to each director's business and personal activities as they may relate to the Company and its management.
As a result, the Board has affirmatively determined that each of Sharon Rowlands, Lemuel Amen, Jeff Enslin and Alexander Ruckdaeschel, are independent in accordance with the Nasdaq listing rules. The Board has also affirmatively determined that all members of our Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee are independent directors.
No family relationships exist between any of our officers or directors.

Equity Incentive Plan
In October 2016, our majority shareholders approved our Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), to be administered by our compensation committee. Pursuant to the Plan, we are authorized to grant options and other equity awards to employees of the Company or any subsidiary, non-employee directors or key consultants to the Company, or a subsidiary, and any person who has been offered employment by the Company or a subsidiary, provided that such prospective employee may not receive any payment or exercise any right relating to an Award until such person has commenced employment with the Company or a subsidiary (together, the "Eligible Persons") The purchase price of each share of common stock purchasable under an award issued pursuant to the Plan, shall be determined by our compensation committee, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant, but shall not be less than 100% of the fair market of such share of common stock on the date the award is granted, subject to adjustment. Our compensation committee shall also have sole authority to set the terms of all awards at the time of grant.
Pursuant to the Plan, a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock shall be set aside and reserved for issuance. In addition, subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan, the share reserve will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year, for the period beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2030 (each, an "Evergreen Date") in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding on December 31st immediately preceding the applicable Evergreen Date (the "Evergreen Increase"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may act prior to the Evergreen Date of a given year to provide that there will be no Evergreen Increase for such year, or that the Evergreen Increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of the Company's common stock than would otherwise occur pursuant to the preceding sentence. Any shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall consist of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares.
Under the Plan, an Eligible Person may be granted options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock, sale phantom stock, stock granted as a bonus, a performance award, other stock-based awards or an annual incentive award, together with any related right or interest.
The term of each award under the Plan shall be for such period as may be determined by the compensation committee, subject to the express limitations set forth in the Plan.
Unless earlier terminated by action of the Board of Directors, the Plan will remain in effect until such time as no shares of common stock remains available for delivery under the Plan and the Company has no further rights or obligations under the Plan with respect to outstanding awards under the Plan.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Other than as set forth below, since inception, there have been no related party transactions in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets as of the year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and to which any of our directors, executive officers or beneficial holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
We may encounter business arrangements or transactions with businesses and other organizations in which one of our directors or executive officers, significant stockholders or their immediate families is a participant and the amount exceeds $120,000. We refer to these transactions as related party transactions. Related party transactions have the potential to create actual or perceived conflicts of interest between Glimpse and its directors, officers and significant stockholders or their immediate family members.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The rights of our stockholders are governed by Nevada law, our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and our Bylaws. The following briefly summarizes the material terms of our common stock.
Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of September 30, 2021, 10,291,638 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. As of October 13, 2021, there were approximately 4,300 stockholders of our common stock.
Dividend Rights
The holders of outstanding shares of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available at the times and in the amounts that our board of directors may determine.
Voting Rights
Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Our articles of incorporation provide that there is no cumulative voting for directors permitted.
| 61 |
Preemptive or Similar Rights
Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights to acquire additional securities issued by the Company.
Liquidation Rights
Upon our liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock outstanding at that time after payment of other claims of creditors.
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of September 30, 2021, no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
Preferred Stock
The preferred stock may be issued at any time or from time to time, in any one or more series, and any such series shall be comprised of such number of shares and may have such designations, preferences, limitations and relative or other rights thereof, including but not limited to: (a) the rate and manner of payments of dividends, if any; (b) whether shares may be redeemed and, if so, the redemption price and terms and conditions of redemption; (c) the amount payable upon shares in the event of liquidation, dissolution, or other winding-up of the Company; (d) sinking fund provisions, if any, for the redemption or purchase of shares; (e) the terms and conditions, if any, on which shares may be converted or exchanged; (f) voting rights, if any; and (g) any other rights and preferences of such shares, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Prior to the issuance of any shares of a series, but after the adoption by the Board of Directors of the resolution of such series, the appropriate officers of the Company shall file such documents with the State of Nevada as may be required by law.
Potential Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock
We have shares of common stock available for future issuance without stockholder approval. We may utilize these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to facilitate corporate acquisitions or payment as a dividend on the capital stock.
The existence of unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock may enable our Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management or to issue preferred stock with terms that could render more difficult or discourage a third-party attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, thereby protecting the continuity of our management. In addition, our Board has the discretion to determine designations, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of each series of preferred stock, all to the fullest extent permissible under the Nevada Revised Statutes and subject to any limitations set forth in our articles of incorporation. The purpose of authorizing the Board to issue preferred stock and to determine the rights and preferences applicable to such preferred stock is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.
| 62 |
Limitations of Director Liability and Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees
Our articles of incorporation limits the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law. Nevada law provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors.
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, and may indemnify employees and other agents. Our bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding.
We also maintain customary directors' and officers' liability insurance.
Our bylaws, subject to the provisions of Nevada Law, contain provisions which allow the corporation to indemnify any person against liabilities and other expenses incurred as the result of defending or administering any pending or anticipated legal issue in connection with service to us if it is determined that person acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed was in the best interest of the corporation. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, or the Securities Act, may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.
Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors.
Limits on Special Meetings
Special meetings may be called for any purpose and at any time only by (i) the Board, (ii) the Chairman of the Board, (iii) the Chief Executive Officer, (iv) the President or (v) stockholders following receipt by the Secretary of the Company of a written request for a special meeting in proper form from the record holders of shares of common stock of the Corporation representing at least 15% of the outstanding common stock of the Company if such special meeting request complies with Section 2 of the Company's bylaws.
Election and Removal of Directors
Our Board is elected annually by our stockholders. The exact number of directors shall be fixed from time to time by the Board pursuant to resolution adopted by a majority of the full Board. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of shares of our capital stock present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting and entitled to vote in the election of directors. Each director shall hold office until a successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.
Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors or any vacancies in the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or any other cause may be filled, so long as there is at least one remaining director, only by the Board, provided that a quorum is then in office and present, or by a majority of the directors then in office, if less than a quorum is then in office, or by the sole remaining director. Directors elected to fill a newly created directorship or other vacancies shall hold office until such director's successor has been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal as hereinafter provided.
| 63 |
Any director may be removed from office at any time for cause, at a meeting called for that purpose, but only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Amendments to Our Governing Documents
Our articles of incorporation may be altered, amended or repealed, in whole or in part, or amendments may be adopted pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes.
The bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, in whole or in part, or new by-laws may be adopted by: (i) the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of all classes and series of capital stock of the Corporation entitled generally to vote on the election of the directors of the Corporation, voting together as a single class, or (ii) by a majority of the whole Board.
Exclusive Forum For Certain Lawsuits
Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the state or federal courts located within the state of Nevada, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation's stockholders, (iii) an action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the NRS, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph will not apply to actions arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Listing
Our common stock is currently quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "VRAR".
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock in this offering is ClearTrust, LLC. Their address is 16540 Pointe Village Dr Suite 205, Lutz, FL 33558.
PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS
On October 29, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with several institutional investors pursuant to which the we sold to the investors in a private placement (i) 1,500,000 shares of common stock (the "Shares"), (ii) immediately exercisable common stock warrants to purchase up to 555,000 shares of common stock (the "Immediately Exercisable Warrants"), and (iii) warrants to purchase up to 195,000 shares of common stock (the "Common Warrants"), which Common Warrants are exercisable six (6) months after the closing of the October 2021 Private Placement (the Common Warrants together with the Immediately Exercisable Warrants, the "Warrants"). The combined purchase price for one Share and Warrant was $10.00. The Warrants have an exercise price of $14.63 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrants.
The investors may exercise the Warrants on a cashless basis if the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants (the "Warrant Shares") are not then registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. The investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to exercise the Warrants such that the number of shares of the Company's common stock held by the Investors and any of their affiliates after such exercise does not exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation set forth in the Warrants which may not exceed initially 4.99% of the Company's then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
| 64 |
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with the investors. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we will be required to file a resale registration statement (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to register for resale the Shares and the Warrant Shares by November 26, 2021, and to have such Registration Statement declared effective within 45 days after the date of the Purchase Agreement, or 75 days of the Purchase Agreement in the event the Registration Statement is "fully" reviewed by the SEC. We will be obligated to pay certain liquidated damages to the investor if we fail to file the resale registration statement when required, fail to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC when required, or if we fail to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
Pursuant to a Placement Agent Agreement (the "Placement Agent Agreement"), dated as of October 28, 2021, by and between the Company and EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC ("EF Hutton"), we engaged EF Hutton to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with the offering. Pursuant to the Placement Agent Agreement, we agreed to pay EF Hutton a cash fee of 8.0% of the gross proceeds we received under the Purchase Agreement. We also agreed to pay EF Hutton and investors up to $100,000 for fees and expenses including "road show", diligence, and reasonable legal fees and disbursements for EF Hutton's counsel. Additionally, we agreed to grant EF Hutton a right of first refusal following the closing of the October 2021 Private Placement, whereby EF Hutton shall have an irrevocable right of first refusal (the "Right of First Refusal") until July 1, 2022, to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner, and/or sole placement agent, at EF Hutton's sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering, including all equity linked financing.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those previously issued to the investors in the October 2021 Private Placement and those issuable to the investors upon exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of those shares of common stock and Warrants see "Private Placement of Shares of Common Stock and Warrants" above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the shares of common stock and Warrants, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the selling stockholders, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and warrants, as of November 17, 2021, assuming exercise of the Warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises. As of November 17, 2021, 12,054,483 shares of the Company's common stock were issued and outstanding.
The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.
This prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the number of shares of common stock issued to the investors in the October 29, 2021 Private Placement as described above and (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the related Warrants, determined as if the outstanding warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration right agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the warrants. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
Under the terms of the Warrants, the investors may not exercise the Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such investor, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants which have not been exercised (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitation"). The selling stockholder may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See "Plan of Distribution."

Each Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities: The selling stockholders will offer their shares at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.

| 67 |
The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each of the Selling Stockholders have informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

In addition, the Company has one inactive subsidiary company, In-It VR, LLC (dba Mezmos), and with the operating Subsidiaries collectively comprise the "Company" or "Glimpse". Glimpse was incorporated as The Glimpse Group, Inc. in the State of Nevada, on June 15, 2016.
A new subsidiary company was established in October 2021. See Note 11.
Glimpse's robust VR/AR ecosystem, collaborative environment and business model simplify the many challenges faced by companies in an emerging industry. Glimpse cultivates and manages business operations while providing a strong network of professional relationships, thereby allowing the subsidiary company entrepreneurs to maximize their time and resources in pursuit of mission-critical endeavors, reducing time to market, optimizing costs, improving product quality and leveraging joint go-to-market strategies, while simultaneously providing investors an opportunity to invest directly into the VR/AR industry via a diversified platform.
The Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO") of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market Exchange ("Nasdaq") on July 1, 2021, under the ticker VRAR. See Note 7.
On November 2, 2021 the Company completed a securities purchase agreement ("SPA") for the sale of additional common stock to certain institutional investors. See Note 11.
NOTE 2. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company incurred a loss of $1.66 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a loss of $1.28 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The loss was incurred as the Company funded operational expenses, primarily research and development, general and administrative, and sales and marketing costs.
On July 1, 2021 the Company completed an IPO in which, as a result of the sale of its common shares at $7.00 per share, it raised approximately $13.4 million in gross proceeds and $11.8 million in net proceeds after fees and expenses. See Note 7. Furthermore, on November 2, 2021 the Company completed a SPA whereby it sold additional common shares that resulted in approximately $13.6 million in net proceeds after fees and expenses. See Note 11.
The Company expects to continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future as it makes investments to grow its business. Management believes that the Company's existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, which are approximately $26 million following the SPA (see Note 11), will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements for at least twelve months from the date that these financial statements are issued. However, should the Company's current cash and cash equivalents not be sufficient to support the development of its business to the point at which it has positive cash flows from operations, the Company plans to meet its future needs for additional capital through equity and/or debt financings. Equity financings may include sales of common stock. Such financing may not be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to it when required, the Company's ability to continue to support its business growth, scale its infrastructure, develop product enhancements and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2021 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the three months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending June 30, 2022 or for any subsequent periods. The consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2021.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the balances of Glimpse and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The principal estimates relate to the valuation of allowance for doubtful accounts, common stock, stock options, cost of goods sold and allocation of the purchase price of assets relating to business combinations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and deposits in bank checking accounts with immediate access and cash equivalents that represent highly liquid investments.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due from customers under normal trade terms. Allowances for uncollectible accounts are provided for based upon a variety of factors, including historical amounts written-off, an evaluation of current economic conditions, and assessment of customer collectability. As of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021 no allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded as all amounts were considered collectible.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020
Customer Concentration and Credit Risk
Two customers accounted for approximately 70% (56% and 14%, respectively) of the Company's total gross revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Four different customers accounted for approximately 53% (19%, 13%, 11% and 10%, respectively) of the Company's total gross revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
One customer accounted for approximately 76% of the Company's accounts receivable at September 30, 2021. The same customer, and along with a different customer, accounted for approximately 71% (57% and 14%, respectively) of the Company's accounts receivable at June 30, 2021.
The Company maintains cash in accounts that, at times, may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.
Equipment, net
Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The costs of improvements and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed in the period incurred.
The Company assesses the recoverability of equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. There was no impairment of equipment for the periods presented.
Business Combinations
The results of a business acquired in a business combination are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Purchase accounting results in assets and liabilities of an acquired business generally being recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Any excess consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
The Company performs valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and allocates the purchase price to its respective assets and liabilities. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may require management to use significant judgment and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenues, costs and cash flows.
Intangibles, net
Intangibles represent the allocation of a portion of an asset acquisition purchase price (see Note 4). Intangibles are stated at allocated cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Goodwill
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if current circumstances or events indicate that the fair value may be less than its carrying value. The Company recorded goodwill related to an asset acquisition, see Note 4.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company's convertible debt approximates fair value due to its short-term nature and market rate of interest.
Revenue Recognition
Nature of Revenues
The Company reports its revenues in two categories:
| ● | Software Services: Virtual and Augmented Reality projects, solutions and consulting services. | |
| ● | Software License and Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS"): Virtual and Augmented Reality software that is sold either as a license or as a SaaS subscription. |
The Company applies the following steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
| ● | identify the contract with a customer; | |
| ● | identify the performance obligations in the contract; | |
| ● | determine the transaction price; | |
| ● | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; | |
| ● | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied; | |
| ● | determine that collection is reasonably assured. |
Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract by transferring the promised product to its customer that obtains control of the product or service is performed and collection is reasonably assured. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer. Most of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer products or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct.
Any unrecognized portion of revenue and any corresponding unrecognized expenses are presented as deferred revenue and deferred costs, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Deferred costs include cash and equity based payroll costs, and may include payments to vendors.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services. As such, revenue is recorded net of returns, allowances, customer discounts, and incentives. Sales taxes and other taxes are excluded from revenues.
Significant Judgments
The Company's contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple products/services. Determining whether products/services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Further, judgment may be required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company generated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 by delivering: (i) Software Services, consisting primarily of VR/AR software projects, solutions and consulting services, and (ii) Software Licenses & SaaS, consisting primarily of VR and AR software licenses or SaaS. The Company currently generates its revenues primarily from customers in the United States.

THE GLIMPSE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020
Revenue for Software Services projects and solutions is recognized at the point of time in which the customer obtains control of the project, customer accepts delivery and confirms completion of the project.
Revenue for Software Services consulting services and website maintenance is recognized at the point of time in which the Company performs the services, typically on a monthly retainer basis.
Revenue for Software License and SaaS is recognized at the point of time in which the Company delivers the software and customer accepts delivery. If there are contractually stated ongoing service obligations to be performed during the term of the Software License or SaaS contract, then revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
Timing of Revenue
The timing of revenue recognition for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was as follows:
| For the Three Months Ended | ||||||||
| September 30, | ||||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Products transferred at a point in time | $ | 955,751 | $ | 193,175 | ||||
| Products and services transferred over time | 66,782 | 66,752 | ||||||
| Total Revenue | $ | 1,022,533 | $ | 259,927 |
Remaining Performance Obligations
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, or deferred revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing.
For Software Services project contracts, the Company generally invoices customers after the project has been delivered and accepted by the customer. Software Service project contracts typically consist of designing and programming software for the customer. In most cases, there is only one performance obligation, and revenue is recognized upon completion, delivery and customer acceptance. In certain instances one contract may include multiple distinct projects that can each be implemented and operated independently of subsequent projects in the contract. In such cases, the Company accounts for these distinct projects as separate performance obligations and recognizes revenue upon the completion of each project or obligation, its delivery and customer acceptance.
For Software Services consulting or retainer contracts, the Company generally invoices customers monthly at the beginning of each month in advance for services to be performed in the following month. The sole performance obligation is satisfied when the services are performed. Software Services consulting or retainer contracts typically consist of ongoing support for a customer's software or specified business practices.
For Software License or SaaS contracts, the Company generally invoices customers when the software has been delivered to and accepted by the customer, which is also when the performance obligation is satisfied.
For multi-period Software License or SaaS contracts, the Company generally invoices customers annually at the beginning of each annual coverage period. Software License or SaaS contracts consist of providing clients with software designed by the Company. For Software License or SaaS contracts, there are generally no ongoing support obligations unless specified in the contract (becoming a Software Service).

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020
Deferred revenue is comprised mainly of software project contract performance obligations not completed.
Unfulfilled performance obligations represent amounts expected to be earned by the Company on executed contracts. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $1.20 million in unfulfilled performance obligations.
Employee Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to grants to employees or service providers based on grant date fair values of common stock or the stock options, which are amortized over the requisite period, as well as forfeitures as they occur.
The Company values the options using the Black-Scholes Merton ("Black Scholes") method utilizing various inputs such as expected term, expected volatility and the risk-free rate. The expected term reflects the application of the simplified method, which is the weighted average of the contractual term of the grant and the vesting period for each tranche. Expected volatility is derived from a weighted average of volatility inputs for the Company since its IPO. Prior to its IPO, expected volatility is derived from a weighted average of volatility inputs for comparable software and technology service companies The risk-free rate is based on the implied yield of U.S. Treasury notes as of the grant date with a remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the award.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred, and include payroll, employee benefits and stock-based compensation expense. Research and development expenses also include third-party development and programming costs. Given the emerging industry and uncertain market environment the Company operates in, research and development costs are not capitalized.
Income Taxes
The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be recovered based on an evaluation of objective verifiable evidence. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. For tax positions that are not more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of the benefit.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, Income Taxes, or ASC 740, also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company's evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in material changes to its financial position.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020
The Company's policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such expense as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include the issuance of potential shares of common stock for outstanding stock options and convertible debt.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
NOTE 4. ASSET ACQUISTION
In August 2021, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary company, MotionZone, LLC (dba AUGGD), completed an acquisition of certain assets, as defined, from Augmented Reality Investments Pty Ltd, an Australia based company providing augmented reality software and services. Over time, the acquisition may facilitate the Company's endeavors in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction ("AEC") market segments.

NOTE 9. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
There was no current or deferred income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
The Company's deferred tax assets as of September 30 2021 and 2020 consist of the following:
| As of September 30, | As of September 30, | |||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
| Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
| Net-operating loss carryforward | $ | 4,269,910 | $ | 2,961,194 | ||||
| Stock-based compensation | 586,042 | 394,742 | ||||||
| Total Deferred Tax Assets | 4,855,952 | 3,355,936 | ||||||
| Valuation allowance | (4,855,952 | ) | (3,355,936 | ) | ||||
| Deferred Tax Asset, Net | $ | - | $ | - |
The Company maintains a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty regarding the ability to utilize these deferred tax assets in the future. At September 30, 2021, the Company had potential utilizable aggregate gross net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") of approximately $12.35 million. NOLs for the periods ending June 30, 2018 and prior in the amount of approximately $2.86 million begin to expire in 2037. NOLs subsequent to June 30, 2018 have no expiration.
Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that might be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone significant changes in stock ownership. The Company has not completed a Section 382 analysis of the NOL carryforwards. Consequently, the Company's NOL carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations under Section 382.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and taxing strategies in making this assessment. As a result of the uncertainly in the realization of the Company's deferred tax assets, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred tax assets at September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.
The Company's valuation allowance during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 increased by approximately $0.40 million and $0.20 million, respectively.

Upon completion of its 2021 U.S. income tax return in 2022, the Company may identify additional remeasurement adjustments. The Company will continue to assess its provision for income taxes as future guidance is issued, but does not currently anticipate significant revisions will be necessary.
NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Lease
The Company has an office space lease expiring, as amended, on December 31, 2022. To secure the initial lease, the Company paid a $75,000 security deposit.
Rent expense was approximately $86,000 and $72,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There is approximately $309,000 due on the lease for the October 2021-September 2022 period and approximately $75,000 due thereafter for the remaining lease term.
Potential Future Distributions Upon Divestiture or Sale
Upon a divestiture or sale of a subsidiary company, the Company is contractually obligated to distribute up to 10% of the net proceeds from such divestiture or sale to the senior management team of the divested subsidiary company. Currently, there were no active discussions pertaining to a potential divestiture or sale of any of the Company's subsidiaries.
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused and continues to cause significant business and financial markets disruption worldwide and there is significant uncertainty around the duration of this disruption and its ongoing effects on our business. This has primarily manifested itself in prolonged sales cycles.
From March 2020 through June 2021, the Company had required substantially all of its employees to work remotely to minimize the risk of the virus. While working remotely has proven to be effective to this point, it may eventually inhibit the Company's ability to operate its business effectively. Commencing July 2021, the Company has tentatively required employees to return to the office several days a week.
We continue to closely monitor the situation and the effects on our business and operations. While uncertainty remains, given the current state of the pandemic, our expected revenue growth and current cash balance, we do not expect the impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations to worsen going forward.

NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
ASSET ACQUISTION
In October 2021, the Company, through its newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary company, XR Terra, LLC, completed an acquisition of certain assets, as defined, from XR Terra, Inc., a developer of teaching platforms utilized in coding software used in VR and AR programming.
Initial consideration for the purchase is $0.60 million payable 50% in Company common stock and 50% in cash. In October 2021, the Company paid $0.30 million cash and issued 33,877 shares of common stock to satisfy the purchase price. The acquisition agreement provides for additional contingent consideration in the form of Company common stock if certain future revenue targets are achieved through September 2024, which is not expected at this time. No liabilities were assumed as part of the acquisition and the primary assets acquired included employees, customer relationships and technology. The Company is currently determining its purchase price allocation between customer list, intellectual property and goodwill.
SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT ("SPA")
In November 2021, the Company entered into a SPA to sell $15.0 million worth of its common stock and warrants to certain institutional investors in a private placement.
Under the terms of the SPA, the Company sold 1.50 million shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 0.75 million shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $14.68 per share. The warrants will expire five years from the date they can be exercised. The purchase price for one share of common stock and half a corresponding warrant was $10.00. The gross proceeds to the Company from the registered direct offering were approximately $13.6 million after deducting the placement agent's fees and other estimated offering expenses.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of The Glimpse Group, Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Glimpse Group, Inc. (the "Company") as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company's auditor since 2019.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020
Net cash used in operating activities was $1.21 million during the year ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.02 million during the year ended June 30, 2020. The Company has raised approximately $8.88 million through the issuance of common share and convertible debt financings since inception through June 30, 2021, of which approximately $1.82 million was raised during the year ended June 30, 2021 from the sale of common stock as disclosed in Note 6 and the issuance of convertible promissory notes as disclosed in Note 9.
The combination of operating losses since inception, cash expected to be used in operating activities in the future, uncertain conditions relating to additional capital raises and continued revenue growth had created uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company had $1.77 million of cash as of June 30, 2021 compared to $1.03 million as of June 30, 2020. On July 1, 2021 the Company completed an IPO through Nasdaq in which, as a result of the sale of its common shares at $7.00 per share, it raised approximately $13.4 million in gross proceeds and $11.8 million in net proceeds after fees and expenses. See Note 13.
The Company generated $3.42 million of revenues during the year ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.95 million during the year ended June 30, 2020. In addition, as disclosed in Note 9, during the year ended June 30, 2020 the Company received a $0.549 million Paycheck Protection Program 1 ("PPP 1") loan and an additional $0.624 million Paycheck Protection Program 2 ("PPP 2") loan in February 2021.
As of the date that this financial statement was issued, the Company's cash position was approximately $13 million, contracted revenue backlog to be collected over the short term exceeded $1.5 million and the Company's shares were traded on Nasdaq post its July 1, 2021 IPO. As such, the Company believes that it is sufficiently funded to meet its operational plan and future obligations beyond the 12-month period from the date that these financial statements were issued.
Given the above, doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern was alleviated and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
While Management believes it will be able to continue to grow the Company's revenue base, there is no assurance. In parallel, Management continually monitors its capital structure and operating plans and evaluates various potential funding alternatives that may be needed in order to finance the Company's research and development activities, general and administrative expenses and growth strategy. These alternatives include raising funds through public equity or debt markets. Although there is no assurance that, if needed, the Company will be successful with its fundraising initiatives, the Company has been successful historically in raising equity capital and Management believes that its Nasdaq listing significantly increases its ability to access capital going forward.
NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company's consolidated financial statements.

THE GLIMPSE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the balances of Glimpse and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The principal estimates relate to the valuation of allowance for doubtful accounts, common stock, stock options and cost of goods sold.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and deposits in bank checking accounts or money market funds with immediate access.
Revenue Recognition
Nature of Revenues
The Company reports its revenues in two categories:
| ● | Software Services: Virtual and Augmented Reality projects, solutions and consulting services. | |
| ● | Software License and Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS"): Virtual and Augmented Reality software that is sold either as a license or as a SaaS subscription. |
The Company adopted the new accounting standard, Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ("ASC 606") beginning on July 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method for all open contracts and related amendments. The adoption did not result in an adjustment to the accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2020. The comparative information was not restated and continued to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on reported sales to customers and net earnings (losses).
The Company applies the following steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
| ● | identify the contract with a customer; | |
| ● | identify the performance obligations in the contract; | |
| ● | determine the transaction price; | |
| ● | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; | |
| ● | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied; | |
| ● | determine that collection is reasonably assured |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020
Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contract by transferring the promised product to its customer that obtains control of the product and collection is reasonably assured. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer. Most of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer products or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct.
Any unrecognized portion of revenue and any corresponding unrecognized expenses are presented as deferred revenue and deferred costs, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Deferred costs include cash and equity based payroll costs, and may include payments to vendors.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services. As such, revenue is recorded net of returns, allowances, customer discounts, and incentives. Sales taxes and other taxes are excluded from revenues.
Significant Judgments
The Company's contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple products/services. Determining whether products/services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Further, judgment may be required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company generated revenue for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 by delivering: (i) Software Services, consisting primarily of VR/AR software projects, solutions and consulting services, and (ii) Software Licenses & SaaS, consisting primarily of VR and AR software licenses or SaaS. The Company currently generates its revenues primarily from customers in the United States.
Revenue for Software Services projects and solutions is recognized at the point of time in which the customer obtains control of the project, customer accepts delivery and confirms completion of the project.
Revenue for Software Services consulting services and website maintenance is recognized at the point of time in which the Company performs the services, typically on a monthly retainer basis.
Revenue for Software License and SaaS is recognized at the point of time in which the Company delivers the software and customer accepts delivery. If there are contractually stated ongoing service obligations to be performed during the term of the Software License or SaaS contract, then revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
As detailed in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations, the following is a disaggregation of the Company's revenue by major source for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:
| For the Years Ended | ||||||||
| June 30, | ||||||||

Timing of Revenue
As the Company began adopting ASC 606 in July 2020, the timing of revenue recognition for periods prior to the adoption is not required:
| For the Year Ended | ||||
| June 30, 2021 | ||||
| Products transferred at a point in time | $ | 2,967,586 | ||
| Products and services transferred over time | 453,909 | |||
| Total Revenue | $ | 3,421,495 |
Remaining Performance Obligations
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, or deferred revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing.
For Software Services project contracts, the Company generally invoices customers after the project has been delivered and accepted by the customer. Software Service project contracts typically consist of designing and programming software for the customer. In most cases, there is only one performance obligation, and revenue is recognized upon completion, delivery and customer acceptance. In certain instances one contract may include multiple distinct projects that can each be implemented and operated independently of subsequent projects in the contract. In such cases, the Company accounts for these distinct projects as separate performance obligations and recognizes revenue upon the completion of each project or obligation, its delivery and customer acceptance.
For Software Services consulting or retainer contracts, the Company generally invoices customers monthly at the beginning of each month in advance for services to be performed in the following month. The sole performance obligation is satisfied when the services are performed. Software Services consulting or retainer contracts typically consist of ongoing support for a customer's software or specified business practices.
For Software License or SaaS contracts, the Company generally invoices customers when the software has been delivered to and accepted by the customer, which is also when the performance obligation is satisfied.
For multi-period Software License or SaaS contracts, the Company generally invoices customers annually at the beginning of each annual coverage period. Software License or SaaS contracts consist of providing clients with software designed by the Company. For Software License or SaaS contracts, there are generally no ongoing support obligations unless specified in the contract (becoming a Software Service).
Deferred revenue is comprised mainly of software project contract performance obligations not completed.
Unfulfilled performance obligations represent amounts expected to be earned by the Company on executed contracts. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $1.23 million in unfulfilled performance obligations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020
Prior to the adoption of ASC 606 at July 1, 2020, the Company's revenue recognition was as follows:
Software Service Revenue
The Company generates software related revenues from services performed for: Virtual and Augmented Reality projects, consulting retainers, and ongoing website maintenance and support. Software service revenue generated from Virtual and Augmented Reality projects is recognized after delivery of the project has occurred, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Any unrecognized portion of project revenue and any corresponding unrecognized expenses are presented as deferred revenue and deferred costs, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Deferred costs include cash and equity based payroll costs, and may include payments to vendors. Software service revenue generated from consulting retainers is typically billed in advance for services performed and is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, services have been performed, and collection is reasonably assured. Software service revenue generated from ongoing website maintenance and support services is typically billed in arrears for services performed and is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.
Software License and Software as a Service Revenue
The Company derives revenue from software as-a-service subscriptions and software licenses. Upon delivery of the software to customers, revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract or arrangement. The unrecognized portion of this revenue and any corresponding unrecognized expenses are presented as deferred revenue and deferred costs, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due from customers under normal trade terms. Allowances for uncollectible accounts are provided for based upon a variety of factors, including historical amounts written-off, an evaluation of current economic conditions, and assessment of customer collectability. As of June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 no allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded as all amounts were considered collectible.
Customer Concentration and Credit Risk
Two customers accounted for approximately 49% (26% and 23%, respectively) of the Company's total gross revenues during the year ended June 30, 2021. One different customer accounted for approximately 13% of the Company's total gross revenues during the year ended June 30, 2020.
Two customers accounted for approximately 71% (57% and 14%, respectively) of the Company's accounts receivable at June 30, 2021. Four different customers accounted for approximately 96% (35%, 35%, 14% and 12%, respectively) of the Company's accounts receivable at June 30, 2020.
The Company maintains cash in accounts that, at times, may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.
Equipment, net
Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation (see Note 4). Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The costs of improvements and betterments are capitalized and expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed in the period incurred.
The Company assesses the recoverability of equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. There was no impairment of equipment for the periods presented.
Employee Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to grants to employees or service providers based on grant date fair values of common stock or the stock options, which are amortized over the requisite period, as well as forfeitures as they occur.
| F-32 |
THE GLIMPSE GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020
The Company values the options using the Black-Scholes Merton ("Black Scholes") method utilizing various inputs such as expected term, expected volatility and the risk-free rate. The expected term reflects the application of the simplified method, which is the weighted average of the contractual term of the grant and the vesting period for each tranche. Expected volatility is derived from a weighted average of volatility inputs for comparable software and technology service companies. The risk-free rate is based on the implied yield of U.S. Treasury notes as of the grant date with a remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the award.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred, and include payroll, employee benefits and stock-based compensation expense. Research and development expenses also include third-party development and programming costs. Given the emerging industry and uncertain market environment the Company operates in, research and development costs are not capitalized.
Income Taxes
The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be recovered based on an evaluation of objective verifiable evidence. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. For tax positions that are not more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of the benefit.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, Income Taxes, or ASC 740, also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position 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. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company's evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in material changes to its financial position.
The Company's policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such expense as a component of income tax expense. There were no amounts accrued for penalties or interest for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.
Goodwill
The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if current circumstances or events indicate that the fair value may be less than its carrying value. The Company recorded a goodwill impairment during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 (see Note 8). There was no Goodwill at June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include the issuance of potential shares of common stock for outstanding stock options and convertible debt.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company's convertible debt approximates fair value due to its short-term nature and market rate of interest.
Recently Issued Pronouncements
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments under this pronouncement will change the way all leases with durations of one year or more are treated. Under this guidance, lessees will be required to capitalize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated financing lease liability or capital lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Based on certain characteristics, leases are classified as financing leases or operating leases. Financing lease liabilities, those that contain provisions similar to capitalized leases, are amortized in the same manner as capital leases are amortized under current accounting rules, as amortization expense and interest expense in the statement of operations. Operating lease liabilities are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as lease expense in the statement of operations. The Company does not expect to adopt this standard prior to July 1, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued a new standard to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates (ASC 326). The Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivable, loans, and other financial instruments. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities, if any, will also be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities The Company does not expect to adopt this standard prior to July 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 to simplify the accounting in ASC 740, Income Taxes. This standard removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also clarifies and simplifies other areas of ASC 740. The Company does not expect to adopt this standard prior to July 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020
The Plan is administered by the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), who determine the recipients and the terms of the awards granted, subject to the approval of the Company's Board of Directors. The Plan provides that awards granted may be options, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other stock based awards (collectively the "Awards"). Stock option awards may be either incentive stock options or nonqualified options. The Awards may be granted to eligible employees, directors, service providers, consultants and advisers.
As of June 30, 2020 an aggregate of up to 5 million shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the Plan, with 0.91 million available for issuance.
In January and April 2021, the Company amended its 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), increasing the amount of common shares reserved for issuance from 5 million to 10 million. As of June 30, 2021, there were 5.26 million shares available for issuance under the Plan.
In addition, the share reserve will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year, for the period beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2030 (each, an "Evergreen Date") in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding on December 31st immediately preceding the applicable Evergreen Date (the "Evergreen Increase"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may act prior to the Evergreen Date of a given year to provide that there will be no Evergreen Increase for such year, or that the Evergreen Increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of the Company's common stock than would otherwise occur pursuant to the aforementioned. Any shares of stock delivered under the Plan shall consist of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. There were no other significant changes to the incentive plan.
The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to awards ratably over the requisite period, which is generally the vesting period.
Stock options have been recorded at their fair value. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model assumptions used to value the issuance of stock options under the Plan, are noted in the following table:

NOTE 7. CONTINGENT ACQUISITION LIABILITY
Early Adopter, LLC
In connection with the Company's April 2018 asset acquisition of Early Adopter.Com ("EA"), the Company expected to pay additional contingent amounts, based on EA's annual revenues ("contingent performance bonus") as measured and paid in each of the first three anniversary dates after the closing of the acquisition, paid by the issuance of the Company's common stock at a fixed price of $3.25/share.
At June 30, 2020, the total estimated contingent acquisition liability was approximately $47,000 due for the third anniversary, which is included in accrued liabilities. During the year ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued approximately 32,000 shares of common stock in final payment of all contingent liabilities related to the EA acquisition and recorded share-based expense of approximately $96,800. There are no further obligations relating to the EA acquisition.
Kabaq 3D Technologies, LLC
The Company's November 2016 acquisition of assets relating to the acquisition of Kabaq 3D Technologies, LLC contained a provision for additional acquisition consideration triggered by a potential listing of the Company's common stock on a national securities exchange and certain stock trading volume thresholds. In August 2021, the milestones triggering the additional consideration were met and the Company incurred $750,000 of additional acquisition cost. In accordance with GAAP, the cost has been accrued as legacy acquisition expense on the Company's statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2020, no expense was accrued because the likelihood of the Company going public and reaching the volume threshold was not probable at that time.
KreatAR, LLC
The Company's October 2016 acquisition of assets relating to the acquisitions of KreatAR, LLC (and related entity LocateAR) contained a provision for additional acquisition consideration triggered by a potential listing of the Company's common stock on a national securities exchange and certain stock trading volume thresholds. In August 2021, the milestones triggering the additional consideration were met. In connection therewith, the Company incurred $500,000 of additional acquisition cost. In accordance with GAAP, the cost has been accrued as legacy acquisition expense on the Company's statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2020, no expense was accrued because the likelihood of the Company going public and reaching the volume threshold was not probable at that time.
NOTE 8. GOODWILL
Due to a significant decline in EA's business, unsuccessful VR/AR product commercialization efforts and negative future growth prospects, the goodwill related to the EA acquisition was determined to be impaired and written down to $0 as of June 30, 2020. During the year ended June 30, 2020, general and administrative expense included approximately $140,000 for the impairment of goodwill. The Company has no other goodwill.
NOTE 9. DEBT
Convertible Promissory Notes 1
During the year ended June 30, 2020, the Company raised $1.33 million by the issuance of unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes with a three-year term (the "Note 1" or "Notes 1"), primarily from existing Company investors. The Notes 1 included participation by the Company's executives and independent members of the Company's Board in the amount of $0.2 million. The Note 1 holders received approximately 45,000 shares of common stock (at $4.50/share) in the aggregate, with a relative value of $170,000 at the time of issuance. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining original issue discount on the Notes was approximately $149,000, which was to be amortized over the remaining term of the Notes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020
Additional interest expense for the amortization of the original issue discount amounted to approximately $96,900 for the year ended June 30, 2020.
The Notes 1 bore an interest rate of 10% per annum. The first two years of interest were prepaid with the issuance of the Company's common stock (at $4.50/share), for an issuance of approximately 57,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of approximately $258,000.
The Notes 1 were convertible by a Note 1 holder at any time during the term into common stock of the Company at a fixed price of $4.50/share, or approximately 295,000 shares of common stock upon full conversion.
During the year ended June 30, 2021, Note 1 holders converted approximately $1.21 million of principal into approximately 0.30 million shares of common stock at a revised conversion price of $4.00/share. The original contracted conversion price was $4.50/share. In order to encourage early conversion, two years before the maturity of the Convertible Notes 1, the Company reduced the conversion price to $4.00/share.
In addition to the reduced conversion price, the Note holders who converted received the third year interest (10%) on the Notes, totaling approximately $122,000, as additional consideration to convert early which was paid in the Company's common stock, amounting to approximately 30,000 shares. In the aggregate, a loss of approximately $515,500 was recognized during the year ended June 30, 2021, reflecting the reduction of the Notes conversion price from $4.50/share to $4.00/share, the issuance of Year 3 Interest (10%) paid in common stock (at $4.00/share instead of $4.50/share), and the write-off of the remaining related pre-paid interest and original issue discount expenses.
The holders of the remaining unconverted Convertible Notes 1, equating to approximately $117,000 (net of original discount of approximately $8,000) of outstanding principal at June 30, 2021, amended their Notes 1 to allow for auto conversion upon the Company's potential IPO event at a conversion price of $4.25/share. As per the amendment, the residual Notes 1 converted upon the IPO. See Note 13.
Convertible Promissory Notes 2
In March 2021, the Company raised $1.475 million by the issuance of unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes with a two-year term (the "Notes 2"), to several investors. The Notes 2 holders received approximately 44,000 shares of common stock (at $5.00/share) in the aggregate, with a relative fair value of approximately $192,000 at the time of issuance. Accordingly, the original issue discount on the Notes 2 will be amortized over its term.
The Notes 2 bear an interest rate of 10% per annum. The first year of interest was prepaid with the issuance of the Company's common stock (at $5.00/share), for an issuance of 29,500 shares of common stock with a fair value of $147,500. During the second year of the Notes 2, interest will be paid monthly in the Company's common stock (at a fixed price of $5.00/share) on any unpaid principal outstanding.
The Notes 2 are convertible by a note holder at any time during the term into common stock of the Company at a fixed price of $5.00/share, or 295,000 shares of common stock upon full conversion. Notes 2 have a maturity date of March 5, 2023. All outstanding amounts at the time of the Company's IPO automatically converted at $5.00/share in the aggregate. Convertible Notes 2 totaled approximately $1.313 million (net of original issue discount of approximately $162,000) at June 30, 2021. The Notes 2 converted upon the IPO. See Note 13.

SBA Paycheck Protection Program Loans/EIDL
In May 2020, the Company received a Paycheck Protection Program 1 ("PPP1") loan from the Small Business Administration ("SBA") in the amount of $0.55 million. The Company utilized the PPP 1 loan proceeds in full towards payroll and rent in accordance with the SBA guidelines. Pursuant to SBA guidelines, the Company's PPP1 loan was fully forgiven in February 2021. In conjunction with the PPP1 loan, the Company also received an Economic Injury Disaster Loan ("EIDL") advance of $0.01 million. As per the SBA guidelines, EIDL advances do not need to be repaid.
In February 2021, the Company received a second Paycheck Protection Program 2 ("PPP2") loan in the amount of $0.62 million. Similar to the PPP1 loan, the Company expects to utilize the loan proceeds in full toward payroll and rent in accordance with SBA guidelines. The PPP2 loan bears a fixed interest rate of 1% per annum and is due in February 2026. Pursuant to SBA guidelines, the Company expects to apply for full forgiveness of its PPP2 loan in fiscal year 2022.
NOTE 10. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
There was no current or deferred income tax provision for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
The Company's deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 consist of the following:
| As of | As of | |||||||
| June 30, 2021 | June 30, 2020 | |||||||
| Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
| Net-operating loss carryforward | $ | 3,923,012 | $ | 2,811,156 | ||||
| Stock-based compensation | 536,265 | 348,013 | ||||||
| Total Deferred Tax Assets | 4,459,277 | 3,159,169 | ||||||
| Valuation allowance | (4,459,277 | ) | (3,159,169 | ) | ||||
| Deferred Tax Asset, Net | $ | - | $ | - |
The Company maintains a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty regarding the ability to utilize these deferred tax assets in the future. At June 30, 2021, the Company had potential utilizable aggregate gross net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") of approximately $11.35 million. NOLs for the periods ending June 30, 2018 and prior ($2.86 million) begin to expire in 2037. NOLs for the years ending June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019 ($8.49 million), in accordance with changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, have no expiration.
Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that might be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone significant changes in stock ownership. The Company has not completed a Section 382 analysis of the NOL carryforwards. Consequently, the Company's NOL carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations under Section 382.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and taxing strategies in making this assessment. As a result of the uncertainly in the realization of the Company's deferred tax assets, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of the deferred tax assets at June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2021 AND 2020
The Company's valuation allowance during the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 increased by approximately $1.30 million and $1.00 million, respectively.
The expected tax expense (benefit) based on the U.S. federal statutory rate is reconciled with actual tax expense (benefit) as follows:
| For the Year Ended | For the Year Ended | |||||||
| June 30, 2021 | June 30, 2020 | |||||||
| Statutory Federal Income Tax Rate | (21.00 | )% | (21.00 | )% | ||||
| State and Local Taxes, Net of Federal Tax Benefit | (13.56 | )% | (13.56 | )% | ||||
| Stock Based Compensation Expense (ISO) | 13.20 | % | 14.50 | % | ||||
| Change in Valuation Allowance | 21.36 | % | 20.06 | % | ||||
| Income Taxes Provision (Benefit) | 0.00 | 0.00 |
Upon completion of its 2021 U.S. income tax return in 2022, the Company may identify additional remeasurement adjustments. The Company will continue to assess its provision for income taxes as future guidance is issued, but do not currently anticipate significant revisions will be necessary.

Potential Future Distributions Upon Divestiture or Sale
Upon a divestiture or sale of a subsidiary company, the Company is contractually obligated to distribute up to 10% of the net proceeds from such divestiture or sale to the senior management team of the divested subsidiary company. Currently, there were no active discussions pertaining to a potential divestiture or sale of any of the Company's subsidiaries.
COVID-19
The Company's business and operations have been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, as have the markets in which our customers operate. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused and continues to cause significant business and financial markets disruption worldwide and there is significant uncertainty around the duration of this disruption and its ongoing effects on our business. This has primarily manifested itself in prolonged sales cycles.
From March 2020 through June 2021, the Company had required substantially all of its employees to work remotely to minimize the risk of the virus. While working remotely has proven to be effective to this point, it may eventually inhibit the Company's ability to operate its business effectively. Commencing July 2021, the Company has tentatively required employees to return to the office several days a week.
The Company continues to closely monitor the situation and the effects on its business and operations. The Company does not yet know the full extent of potential impacts on its business and operations. Given the uncertainty, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact on its future results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
NOTE 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Initial Public Offering ("IPO")
On July 1 ,2021, the Company completed an IPO of common stock on the NASDAQ under the symbol "VRAR", at a price of $7.00 per share.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
| II-3 |
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) For the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
| II-4 |
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred and paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereby, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that it will:
(1) for determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective.
(2) for determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.
| II-5 |
