(Attach extra Sheets if Needed)

 

The annual report on Form 10-K of Alliance MMA, Inc. (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 could not be filed within the prescribed time period due to the Company’s difficulty in completing and obtaining required financial and other information without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company and its auditors are in the final phase of completing the audit work surrounding the financial statements and related disclosures in the Form 10-K. The Company is working to complete the Form 10-K as expeditiously as possible, and intends to file the Form 10-K within the applicable grace period provided by Rule 12b-25.

The Company presently expects that the statement of operations to be included in the Form 10-K will reflect significant changes in operations from the prior year. It is anticipated that the Company will report an increase in net revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 over fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 due principally to 2017 being the first full year of operating results whereas in 2016 the Company realized revenue only in the fourth quarter. The Company expects to report net revenue of approximately $4.2 million and a net loss of approximately $12.0 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, compared to the net revenue of approximately $591,000 and a net loss of approximately $4.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2106. The foregoing estimates are as of the time of this filing, and while we believe them to be reliable, the estimates are subject to change.
