content across the estimated $10–12 billion global cricket market. |
| ● | Diversified revenue streams: The Chairman outlined
the Company’s revenue channels, including broadcast-rights monetization and distribution fees, subscription-based streaming, global
brand integration and sponsorship, and live-event production and experiential marketing. |
| ● | Current revenue — the LPL league: FSM through
its subsidiary IPG holds broadcasting and distribution rights to the Lanka Premier League, Sri Lanka’s premier franchise T20 tournament,
which serves as a cornerstone asset within the Company’s cricket portfolio. |

hear this directly from me: this isn’t a someday story. Cricket has hundreds of millions of fans, and we’re already earning
revenue today through our subsidiary Innovative Production Group FZ, LLC that has the Lanka Premier League and media rights and
our FLASHSM app. Every new league we add — Malaysia, Zimbabwe, Singapore — brings the game closer to those fans while building
