This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (the “Company”), to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may be incorrect, and there can be no assurance that these projections included in these forward-looking statements will come to pass. Actual results of the Company could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Except as required by applicable laws, the Company has no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. You should read the matters described and incorporated by reference in “Risk Factors” and the other cautionary statements made in this Report, and incorporated by reference herein, as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Report. We cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Report will prove to be accurate and therefore prospective investors are encouraged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

(together with its consolidated subsidiary, collectively (“Golden Matrix”, “GMGI” “we”, “our”, “us”, or “Company”) is incorporated and registered in the State of Nevada, and operates as an innovative provider of enterprise Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) solutions for online casino operators and online sports betting operators, commonly referred to as iGaming operators.

 

The Company operates in the business-to-business (“B2B”) segment where it develops and owns online gaming intellectual property (IP) and builds configurable and scalable, turn-key, and white-label gaming platforms for international customers, located primarily in the Asia Pacific region.

 

The Company has developed a proprietary Internet gambling enterprise software system that provide for unique casino and live game operations on the platforms that include GM-X System (“GM-X”), Turnkey Solution and White Label Solutions. These platforms are provided to Asia Pacific Internet-based and land-based casino operators as a turnkey technology solution for regulated real money Internet gambling (“RMiG”), Internet sports gaming, and virtual simulated gaming (“SIM”).

 

On May 12, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year from July 31 to January 31, effective immediately. As a result thereof, the Company has presented information in this Form 10-Q (this “Report”), where applicable, as of April 30, 2021, for the three months ended April 30, 2021, for the year ended January 31, 2021.

 

On April 27, 2020, we filed a Certificate of Change Pursuant to NRS 78.209 with the Nevada Secretary of State pursuant to which we affected a reverse stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock in a ratio of 1-for-150. As a result of such filing, our authorized shares of common stock decreased from 6 billion to 40 million and our issued and outstanding shares of common stock decreased in a ratio of 1-for-150. All fractional shares of common stock remaining after the reverse split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. Pursuant to Section 78.207(1) of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), shareholder approval was not required for this transaction. The Certificate of Change was effective with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) on June 26, 2020. The effects of the reverse stock split are retroactively reflected throughout this Report.

 

On January 19, 2021, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Global Technology Group Pty Ltd (GTG), an Australian Company. GTG has an Alderney Gambling Control Commission (“AGCC”) license (an AGCC Category 2 Associate Certificate). The government of Alderney offers software service providers in the gambling industry with a gambling license that allows gambling operators to conduct business related to casino, lotto, and other gaming related activities. Alderney has long been recognized as one of the preferred locations for online Gambling operators. Alderney is regarded in the community as one of the strictest licensing jurisdictions with policies aimed at improving transparency and cultivating a good gaming environment.

 

The Company is required to have a recognized business-to-business (B2B) gambling license in order to acquire certain gaming content. Currently the Company is not required to have a gaming license for the resale of its GM-X System or third-party content to operators in the jurisdictions in which it currently conducts business, however as the Company expands its global distribution licensing regulatory requirements will be required.

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 30, 2021.

The results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2022.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Technology Group Pty Ltd. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Business Combination - Common Control Asset Acquisition

 

A common-control transaction is a transfer of net assets or an exchange of equity interests between entities under the control of the same parent. On January 19, 2021, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Global Technology Group Pty Ltd (GTG), an Australian Company, then wholly-owned by Mr. Anthony Brian Goodman. Mr. Goodman is also a controlling party of the Company via his stock holding in Luxor Capital, LLC, which has a controlling vote of greater than 50% of the Company. As such the acquisition of GTG was a common control acquisition.

 

The accounting and reporting for a transaction between entities under common control is addressed in the “Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control” subsections of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805-50. ASC 805-50 requires that the receiving entity recognize the net assets received at their historical carrying amounts.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include contingent liability, stock-based compensation, warrant valuation, accrued expenses and collectability of accounts receivable. The Company evaluates its estimates on an on-going basis and bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable. Due to inherent uncertainties, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company currently has no cash equivalents at April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. As of April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $168,557 and $168,557, respectively. During the three months ended April 30, 2021, there was no bad debt expense recorded.

 

Software Development Costs

 

The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application in accordance with guidelines established by “ASC 985-20-25” Accounting for the Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requiring certain software development costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Amortization of the capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release to customers. Capitalized costs are amortized based on the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important, which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

 

 

1.

Significant underperformance compared to historical or projected future operating results;

 

2.

Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

 

3.

Significant negative industry or economic trends

   

When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. The Company incurred amortization expense of $9,526 and $0 during the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company currently has two distinctive revenue streams: one is generated via usage of the Company’s software and the other is a royalty charged on the use of third-party gaming content.

 

 

1.

For the usage of the Company’s software, the Company charges gaming operators for the use of its unique IP and technology systems.

 

2.

For the royalty charged on the use of third-party gaming content, the Company acquires the third-party gaming content for a fixed cost and resells the content at a margin.

   

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, our company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer.

Step 2: Identify the separate performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

For the usage of the Company’s software, the Company provides services to the counterparty which include licensing the use of its unique IP and technology systems. The counterparty pays consideration in exchange for those services which include a variable amount depending on the Software Usage. The Company only recognizes the revenue at the month end when the usage occurs, and the revenue is based on the actual Software Usage of its customers.

 

For the royalty charged on the use of third-party gaming content, the Company acts as a distributor of the third-party gaming content which is utilized by the client. The counterparty pays consideration in exchange for the gaming content utilized. The Company only recognizes the revenue at the month end when the usage of the gaming content occurs, and the revenue is based on the actual usage of the gaming content.

 

Earnings Per Common Share

 

Basic net earnings per Common Share are computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per Common Share are determined using the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.

Table of Contents

 

The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of outstanding convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the if-converted method.

 

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net earnings per share for the periods ended April 30, 2021 and 2020. All shares and per share amounts have been adjusted for the 1-for-150 reverse stock split which took effect in the marketplace on June 26, 2020:

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry-forwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

The Company is required to report comprehensive loss, which includes net loss as well as changes in equity from non-owner sources.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but it does provide guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs).

 

 
11

Table of Contents

 

The hierarchy consists of three levels:

 

 

·

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets of liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

·

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

   

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivative liabilities and embedded conversion option liabilities.

 

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, intangible assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, customer deposits. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Stock-based compensation expense is recorded as a result of stock options granted in return for services rendered. For the comparative periods, the share-based payment arrangements with employees were accounted for under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, while nonemployee share-based payments issued for goods and services are accounted for under ASC 505-50. ASC 505-50 and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-07.

 

The expenses related to the share-based compensation are recognized on each reporting date. The amount is calculated as the difference between total expenses incurred and the total expenses already recognized.

 

The stock-based compensation of options issued to consultants was recognized as a component of cost of goods sold based on the fact that the stock-based compensation is the direct labor cost associated with running the Company’s GM2 Asset system.

 

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under such guidance, lessees are required to recognize all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the balance sheet as a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new standard was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard was adopted using a modified retrospective approach. The Company does not have any lease agreements or have any contracts that contain lease elements.

 

On June 20, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees.

 

For public business entities (PBEs), the amendments in ASU 2018-07 were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. Early adoption was permitted if financial statements had not yet been issued (for PBEs), but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of ASC 606. If early adoption was elected, all amendments in the ASU that apply must have been adopted in the same period. In addition, if early adoption is elected in an interim period, any adjustments were required to be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.

 

The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 and adjusted the share-based compensation costs during the last fiscal year. The Company’s management believes the new standard can best represent the Company’s operating results.

 

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

All fractional shares of common stock remaining after the reverse split were rounded up to the nearest whole share.

The Certificate of Change was effective with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) on June 26, 2020. The reverse stock split had no effect on the par value of the common stock. The number of authorized shares of common stock was reduced to 40,000,000.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates past judgments and estimates, including those related to bad debts, accrued liabilities, convertible promissory notes and contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The accounting policies and related risks described in the Company’s Annual Report are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of April 30, 2021, there had been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.

Overview

 

We are an established provider of enterprise Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) solutions for online casino operators and online sports betting operators, commonly referred to as iGaming operators.

 

We develop and own online gaming intellectual property (IP) and build configurable and scalable, turn-key and white-label gaming platforms for our international customers, located primarily in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.

 

We derive revenues primarily from licensing fees received from gaming operators located in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region that utilize the Company’s technology.

 

As of June 1, 2021, our systems had over 4 million registered players and a total of more than 430 unique casino and live game operations within all of our platforms including our GM-X, Turnkey Solution, and White Label Solutions.

 

The Company’s goal is to expand our customer base globally and to integrate additional operators, launch additional synergistic products and appoint more distributors.

 

As described above, our core markets are currently the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region and while we have a solid customer base; we are continuing to engage new gaming operators on a regular basis and we anticipate that our current operators will continue to grow.

Our objective in managing capital is to ensure that we have sufficient liquidity to manage our business and growth objectives while maximizing return to shareholders. Liquidity is necessary to meet our existing general capital needs, fund our growth and expansion plans, and undertake certain capital market activities. We have historically met our liquidity needs through cash flow generated from operations and the sale of equity securities in private transactions. Our current objective is to meet all of our current liquidity and existing general capital requirements from the cash flow generated from ongoing operations and funds raised through the sale of equity. We may raise funding in the future to conduct potential acquisitions through the issuance of debt and/or the sale of capital stock. The COVID-19 pandemic has had no material impact on our business to date and we expect our business to be generally resilient to the pandemic. We have been able to maintain operations with employees and consultants working remotely to sustain our sales and the support of our online products. Notwithstanding the above, we have experienced minor productivity issues in connection with the movement of certain resources as a result of the pandemic.

 

Key elements of our growth strategy include:

 

 

Supporting our existing customers as they scale up their respective iGaming and online sportsbook operations. As our customers’ businesses grow, we intend to deploy additional resources to develop the GM-X System’s platform functionality, expand our gaming content portfolios by integrating additional third-party content providers, and seek to obtain additional regulatory approvals to operate in other global markets.

 

 

 

 

Expanding our global reach by securing new casino and sportsbook operator customers in existing and newly regulated markets.

 

 

 

 

Investing in sales and marketing initiatives to aggressively pursue new deployment opportunities in developing markets such as Africa and Latin America, and also exploring opportunities in the U.S. market.

 

 

 

 

Developing and deploying our own proprietary gaming content in both casino iGaming as well as E-sport categories. It is currently anticipated that our E-sport portfolio will launch in the second quarter of 2021.

 

 

 

 

Pursuing acquisitions of synergistic companies and assets with the goal of expanding our competitive position in the markets in which we operate. We are also exploring the opportunity to selectively acquire independent slot development studios in order to launch our own proprietary games on our platform, funding permitting.

 

The Company does not intend to make significant investments (except for potential acquisitions, none of which are currently planned or pending) to support our business growth strategy. We believe that our business model is highly scalable and existing resources will be utilized to develop new offerings and features and enhance our existing platform, and improve our operating infrastructure.

 

The Company may face significant costs with respect to legal fees incurred in the applications for licenses and continued regulatory requirements and legal representation.

 

In order to acquire complementary businesses and technologies, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. Our ability to obtain additional capital, if and when required, will depend on our business plans, investor demand, our operating performance, capital markets conditions and other factors. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our then issued and outstanding equity or debt, and our existing shareholders may experience dilution. If we are unable to obtain additional capital when required, or on satisfactory terms, our ability to continue to support our business growth or to respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances could be adversely affected, and our business may be harmed.

 

We may acquire other businesses, and our business may be detrimentally affected if we are unable to successfully integrate acquired businesses into our company or otherwise manage the growth associated with multiple acquisitions.

Table of Contents

 

As part of our business strategy, we have made, and we intend to make acquisitions as opportunities arise to add new or complementary businesses, products, brands, or technologies. In some cases, the costs of such acquisitions may be substantial, including as a result of professional fees and due diligence efforts. There is no assurance that the time and resources expended on pursuing a particular acquisition will result in a completed transaction, or that any completed transaction will ultimately be successful. In addition, we may be unable to identify suitable acquisition or strategic investment opportunities, or may be unable to obtain any required financing or regulatory approvals, and therefore may be unable to complete such acquisitions or strategic investments on favorable terms. We may decide to pursue acquisitions with which our investors may not agree and we cannot assure investors that any acquisition or investment will be successful or otherwise provide a favorable return on investment. In addition, if we fail to successfully close transactions or integrate new teams, or integrate the products and technologies associated with these acquisitions into our company, our business could be seriously harmed.

 

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes the infectious disease known as COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” on January 30, 2020 and a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. In March and April, many U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions began issuing ‘stay-at-home’ orders. Subsequently, and continuing through the date of this Report, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted global commercial activity, disrupted supply chains and contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could have a continued material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown.

 

A significant or prolonged decrease in consumer spending on entertainment or leisure activities would likely have an adverse effect on demand for our product offerings, reducing cash flows and revenues, and thereby materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, a recurrence of COVID-19 cases or an emergence of additional variants or strains could cause other widespread or more severe impacts depending on where infection rates are highest. We will continue to monitor developments relating to disruptions and uncertainties caused by COVID-19.

 

As shown in our results of operations herein, we have to date, not experienced any significant material negative impact to our operations, revenues or gross profit due to COVID-19. However, moving forward, the range of possible impacts on the Company’s business from the coronavirus pandemic could include: (i) changing demand for the Company’s products and services; (ii) rising bottlenecks in the Company’s supply chain; and (iii) increasing contraction in the capital markets. At this time, the Company believes that it is premature to determine the potential impact on the Company’s business prospects from these or any other factors that may be related to the coronavirus pandemic; however, it is possible that COVID-19 and the worldwide response thereto, may have a material negative effect on our operations, cash flows and results of operations.

 

Currently we believe that we have sufficient cash on hand, and availability to raise additional funding, or borrow additional funding, as needed, to support our operations for the foreseeable future; however, we will continue to evaluate our business operations based on new information as it becomes available and will make changes that we consider necessary in light of any new developments regarding the pandemic.

 

The future impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations is currently unknown. The pandemic is developing rapidly and the full extent to which COVID-19 will ultimately impact us depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the virus, as well as potential seasonality of new outbreaks.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three months ended April 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended April 30, 2020.

 

Revenues

 

The Company currently has two distinctive revenue streams.

 

1) the Company charges gaming operators for the use of its unique intellectual property (IP) and technology systems. Revenues derived from such charges were based on the usage of the systems by the clients. During the three months ended April 30, 2021, the Company generated $761,174 of revenues from its unique IP and technology systems, including $669,988 from Articulate Pty Ltd (“Articulate”), a related party, which is wholly-owned by Anthony Brian Goodman, CEO of the Company and his wife Marla Goodman. During the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Company generated $734,764 of revenues from its IP and technology systems, including $531,565 which was from Articulate.

 

The marginal increase of $26,410 in revenues in the three-month period ended April 30, 2021, compared to the three-month period ended April 30, 2020, is attributable to an increase in registered end-users from Articulate.

 

2) Since June 2020, the Company has contracted with certain clients to offer third party gaming content and as such become a reseller of this gaming content. During the three months ended April 30, 2021, $1,878,228 of revenues were derived from the reselling of gaming content. During the three months ended April 30, 2020, there were no revenues from the reselling of gaming content.

 

Total revenues for the three-months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020 are $2,639,402 and $734,764, respectively.

 

Cost of goods sold

 

The Company currently has two distinctive sources of cost of goods sold.

 

1) Historically, the Company only recognized the value of stock options granted to consultants under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan as cost of goods sold. This recognition was based on the fact that the stock options directly contributed to the revenue generated by the Company’s GM2 Asset. During the three months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020, cost of goods sold due to the amortization of options was $77,856 and $31,496, respectively. The increase in the cost of goods sold was due to the options issued during last financial year and this financial year. The increase in the share price has also increased the option valuation based on the Black-Scholes valuation model and therefore increased the amortization expenses.

2) Beginning in June 2020, due to the reselling of the gaming content, the cost of usage of the third-party content is recognised as a cost of goods sold. During the three months ended April 30, 2021, $1,415,187 of costs were recognised. During the same period last year, there were no such costs.

 

Total cost of goods sold for the three-months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020 are $1,493,043 and $31,496, respectively.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020, general and administrative expenses were $327,711 and $110,640, respectively. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of advertising and promotion expenses, travel expenses, website maintenance expenses, administrative expenses, and amortization expenses on our intangible asset. The increase of general and administrative expenses was mainly due to the marketing compensation granted to one of the Company’s customers. As per the Company’s Software Services Agreement with the customer, if the customer reaches a certain amount of usage, the customer is granted marketing compensation.

 

General and administrative expenses – Related parties

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020, general and administrative expenses from related parties were $562,344 and $337,646, respectively. General and administrative expenses from related parties consisted primarily of amortization expenses due to stock options granted to Directors, back-office expenses, consulting expenses and salary expenses payable to the Company’s Directors and Management. The components of general and administrative expenses from related parties are as follows:

The increase in amortization expense for the three months ended April 30, 2021, compared to April 30, 2020, was due to the stock options granted to three Independent Directors under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan; the back office expenses remained constant at $11,000 per month; and the consulting and salary expenses increased due to the increased number of Directors and increase in compensation paid to the Management.

 

Research and development expense

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2021, the research and development expense was $21,218. The research and development expense was incurred in connection with the building of the Company’s Proprietary Peer to Peer gaming system. During the three months ended April 30, 2020, there was no research and development expense.

 

Professional fees

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020, professional fees were $93,607 and $20,388, respectively. Professional fees consisted primarily of SEC filing fees, legal fees, transfer agent service fees and accounting and audit fees. The increase in professional fees was mainly due to the recent corporation actions relating to the Company’s NASDAQ uplisting application, which is still in review, and which increased the legal service fees for the current period compared to the prior period.

 

Interest expense

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020, interest expense was $0 and $6,151, respectively. The decrease of interest expense was mainly due to the decrease in the outstanding balance of notes payable.

Table of Contents

    

Interest income

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020, interest income was $40 and $1,296, respectively. The interest income was attributable to the Wells Fargo Saving account which the Company opened in February 2019.

 

Foreign exchange gain (loss)

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020, foreign exchange loss was $13,647 and $0, respectively. The foreign exchange loss was due to the fluctuation of the Euro against the US dollar, and as a result of certain suppliers billing the Company in Euros.

 

Net income

 

The Company had net income of $127,872 and $229,739 for the three months ended April 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The decrease of net income was primarily due to an increase in cost of goods sold as a result of options granted to consultants, stock-based compensation, and other expenses, as discussed in greater details above.

The Company had $11,750,489 of cash on hand at April 30, 2021 and total assets of $15,162,029 ($14,997,555 of which were current assets). The Company had total working capital of $13,756,485 as of April 30, 2021. The Company had total liabilities (which were all current liabilities) of $1,241,070 as of April 30, 2021, which mainly included $316,821 of accounts payable to related parties, $914,025 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and $10,000 of customer deposits.

 

We do not currently have any additional commitments or identified sources of additional capital from third parties or from our officers, directors or majority stockholders. Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.

 

In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling additional debt or equity securities, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. We also plan to sell equity in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to which we plan to uplist our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market, which offering may not be completed on favorable terms, if at all. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then stockholders. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. In the event we are unable to raise additional funding and/or obtain revenues sufficient to support our expenses, we may be forced to scale down our operations, which could cause our securities to decline in value.

 

See “Note 2 – Accounts Receivable – Related Party”, for a description of related party accounts receivable; “Note 5 – Intangible Assets – Software Platform”, for a description of the Company’s intangible assets; “Note 6 – Accounts Payable – Related Parties”, for a description of related party accounts payable; “Note 7 – Customer Deposits”, for a description of customer deposits; and “Note 8 – Related Party Transactions”, for a description of related party transactions, each included herein under “Item 1. Financial Statements.”

Cash flows from operating activities include net income adjusted for certain non-cash expenses, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Significant non-cash expenses for the period include stock-based compensation and imputed interest.

 

The Company generated cash from operating activities of $213,038 during the three months ended April 30, 2021, due primarily to $127,872 of net income, and non-cash expenses relating to stock-based compensation (including options issued for services of $503,953 and stock issued for services of $22,000) which amounted to $525,953 during the three months ended April 30, 2021.

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2021, cash used in investing activities was $173,314 which was primarily due to the purchase of Global Technology Group Pty Ltd (GTG) of $115,314 and the purchase of intangible fixed assets for $58,000.

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2021, cash provided by financing activities was $4,010 which was primarily due to proceeds from the exercise of options.

 

The Company had a net increase in cash of $44,140 for the three months ended April 30, 2021, which is mostly attributable to the cash provided by operations of $213,038 offset by the investment activities of $173,314.

 

Material Events and Uncertainties

 

Our operating results are difficult to forecast. Our prospects should be evaluated in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties commonly encountered by comparable development stage companies.

 

There can be no assurance that we will successfully address such risks, expenses and difficulties.

 

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial/accounting officer) have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of April 30, 2021. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, is recorded properly, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as discussed below.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses, which have caused management to conclude that, as of April 30, 2021, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective:

 

1.

Insufficient personnel resources within the accounting function to segregate the duties over financial transaction processing and reporting and to allow for proper monitoring controls over accounting;

 

 

2.

Insufficient written policies and procedures over accounting transaction processing and period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.

 

 
30

Table of Contents

 

Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

To remediate our internal control weaknesses, management intends to implement the following measures:

   

·

 

The Company plans to add sufficient knowledgeable accounting personnel to properly segregate duties and to affect a timely, accurate preparation of the financial statements.

 

 

·

Upon the hiring of additional accounting personnel, the Company plans to develop and maintain adequate written accounting policies and procedures.

 

We understand that remediation of material weaknesses and deficiencies in internal controls are a continuing work in progress due to the issuance of new standards and promulgations. However, remediation of any known deficiency is among our highest priorities. Our management will periodically assess the progress and sufficiency of our ongoing initiatives and make adjustments as and when necessary.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting to ensure we maintain an effective internal control environment. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended April 30, 2021, covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

In the ordinary course of business, we may become a party to lawsuits involving various matters. The impact and outcome of litigation, if any, is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We believe the ultimate resolution of any such current proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on our continued financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, filed with the Commission on April 30, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”), under the heading “Risk Factors”, and investors should review the risks provided in the Form 10-K prior to making an investment in the Company. The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in the Form 10-K, under “Risk Factors”, which risk factors from the Form 10-K are incorporated by reference in this Item 1A. Risk Factors, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

There have been no sales of unregistered securities during the quarter ended April 30, 2021, and from the period from May 1, 2021 to the filing date of this Report, which have not previously been disclosed in the Form 10-K or in a Current Report on Form 8-K, except as follows:

Recent issuances of unregistered securities subsequent to our fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2021

 

On May 10, 2021, the Company issued 502 shares of restricted common stock to two consultants for services rendered. Each consultant was issued 251 shares.

 

We claim an exemption from registration for the issuances described above pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D of the Securities Act, since the foregoing issuances did not involve a public offering, the recipients were (a) “accredited investors”; and/or (b) had access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Securities Act. The securities were offered without any general solicitation by us or our representatives. No underwriters or agents were involved in the foregoing issuances, and we paid no underwriting discounts or commissions. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities will contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption there-from. The securities were not registered under the Securities Act and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
