The second option proposed by Sandeep is for another person, company or investor group to take over CropBytes Farms and continue operating the existing game. Under this model, rather than replacing CropBytes with a new project, the existing game would continue operating. Sandeep indicated that he would be willing to assist with the transition. A particularly important point raised during the discussion is that he believes the operating costs could be substantially reduced. He indicated that, with restructuring and cost optimisation, the game could potentially be operated at approximately: US$8,000 per month. This represents the estimated ongoing operating cost after the system and operation have been trimmed down. Potential Role of Sandeep Sandeep indicated that he could assist the new operator with reducing the cost base and transitioning the operation. His involvement could potentially include areas such as: identifying unnecessary infrastructure; reducing hosting and server expenses; simplifying operational processes; identifying unnecessary services or subscriptions; reducing development and support overhead; transferring operational knowledge; explaining the existing technical architecture; assisting with transition of systems and accounts; and helping the new operator understand how the current game is maintained. The exact scope and duration of his support would still need to be formally agreed. 3. Estimated Financial Requirement for a Takeover Based on the approximately US$8,000 monthly running-cost figure discussed, the minimum operating capital required would be approximately: 3 months: US$24,000 6 months: US$48,000 12 months: US$96,000 24 months: US$192,000 These figures represent operating costs only. They would not necessarily include: acquisition or takeover consideration; new development; marketing; legal costs; accounting; additional employees; community incentives; token liquidity; exchange-related costs; business restructuring; security audits; major technical upgrades; or unexpected infrastructure expenses. Therefore, before proceeding with a takeover, it would be important to establish the true total monthly cash requirement rather than relying solely on the US$8,000 infrastructure/operational estimate. 4. Key Question – Can CropBytes Become Self-Sustaining? The most important commercial question is whether the existing CropBytes game can generate enough revenue to cover approximately US$8,000 or more per month after restructuring. If the game can consistently generate more than its operating expenses, taking over the existing operation could potentially be viable. If current revenue is significantly below this level, the new operator would need to determine how the revenue model could be improved. Possible revenue sources could include: in-game purchases; premium memberships; marketplace fees; transaction fees; asset sales; new NFT or digital-asset products; advertising; sponsorships; partnerships; seasonal events; subscription features; premium farming or automation features; and additional games or services connected to the CropBytes ecosystem. Before making any decision, historical revenue figures should therefore be compared directly against historical and proposed future operating costs. 5. Information Required Before Considering a Takeover Before progressing with Option 2, a detailed due-diligence process should be completed. At minimum, the following information should be requested from Sandeep. Financial Information Monthly revenue for the last 12–24 months. Monthly operating expenses for the last 12–24 months. Detailed breakdown of the proposed US$8,000 monthly operating cost. Outstanding liabilities. Amounts owed to staff, developers, suppliers or service providers. Outstanding tax obligations.
