| NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
Versus Systems Inc. (the Company) was continued under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) effective January 2, 2007. On December 24, 2024 a special resolution authorizing and approving the continuance of the Company from the Province of British Columbia in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) into the State of Delaware in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company’s head office and registered and records office is located at 3500 South DuPont Highway Dover, DE 19901. The Company’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol “VS”.
The Company operates within the technology sector, focusing on engagement-enhancing solutions through its proprietary prizing and promotions platform. This technology enables developers and content creators across streaming, live events, broadcast, gaming, and other media to integrate real-world prizes into their experiences, fostering greater consumer interaction and providing a compelling opportunity for brand partners and advertisers.
In June 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of multimedia, production, and interactive gaming company Xcite Interactive, a provider of online audience engagement through its owned and operated XEO technology platform. The Company partners with professional sports franchises across Major League Baseball (“MLB”), National Hockey League (“NHL”), National Basketball Association (“NBA”) and the National Football League (“NFL”) to drive audience engagement.
In September 2024 the Company closed down its operations within the United Kingdom, Versus Systems UK, Ltd.
In October 2024, the Company entered into a $2,500,000 funding agreement with ASPIS Cyber Technologies (“ASPIS”). Pursuant to that agreement, the Company issued to ASPIS a senior convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2,500,000. The note provides that upon approval by the Company’s shareholders and the Company’s redomiciling to Delaware the amount funded to date plus, at ASPIS’s option, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be converted into units of the Company, each equal to (a) one common share of the Company and (b) a warrant to purchase one-half of one Common Share at a purchase price of $4.00 per one whole share, exercisable for five years.
On December 24, 2024, the Senior Note Holder converted the outstanding Senior Note into 2,155,172 shares of common stock and 1,077,586 common stock warrants at an exercise price of $4.00 per share. The warrants were deemed to be equity classified, therefore the book value of the Senior Note was converted to equity and recorded within additional paid in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.
Additionally, the Company entered into a Technology License and Software Development Agreement (the “License Agreement”) in October 2024 which provides for the Company to license its gamification, engagement and QR code technology to ASPIS for use in ASPIS’s website business and for development of additional functionality for Versus’ technology. Pursuant to the License Agreement, as amended by a side letter executed on August 11, 2025 and supported by a legal opinion and confirmation, the Initial Term is non-cancellable for twelve (12) months commencing April 30, 2025, with monthly license fees of $165,000 payable regardless of use. ASPIS will pay for any required technology modifications, improvements, and developments to Versus’ technology in addition to the license fee. The Company retains ownership of the technology, and ASPIS holds an exclusive license to use it in the cybersecurity industry so long as ASPIS continues to pay the monthly license fee.
Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. Different bases of measurement may be appropriate if the Company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has not achieved positive cash flow from operations and is not able to finance day to day activities through operations and as such, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds therefrom and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments as to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These adjustments could be material.
Management’s plans include attempting to secure additional required funding through equity or debt financing, if available, seeking to enter into a partnership or other strategic agreement regarding, or sales or out-licensing of, its technology. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain required funding in the future. In the absence of additional financing, the Company’s available cash resources would be reduced in the near term, which could require the Company to scale back or temporarily defer certain operating or development activities. Such actions could have a material effect on the Company’s business and relationships with partners. If adequate funding is not secured, the Company may need to explore strategic alternatives, which could include restructuring or other actions that may adversely impact stockholder value. The Company has implemented cost-optimization initiatives, including workforce realignment and prioritization of development programs to align expenditures with near-term strategic objectives. Management believes that continued focus on strategic partnerships, product licensing, and disciplined cost management may provide the Company with opportunities to improve liquidity and position the business for longer-term growth. However, there can be no assurance that such initiatives will be sufficient to mitigate the conditions raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. |
