Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Operations

Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively (“Golden Matrix”, “GMGI” “we”, “our”, “us”, or “Company”) is incorporated and registered in the State of Nevada, and operates (i) 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 and, (ii) a provider of pay to enter prize competitions in the United Kingdom (UK).

The Company has historically operated 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. With the acquisition of RKingsCompetitions Ltd. effective on November 1, 2021, the Company has entered into the business-to-consumer (“B2C”) segment by offering pay to enter prize competitions throughout the UK which are not gambling or a lottery; we do not offer B2C online sports betting and/or online casino services. The prize competitions require entrants to demonstrate sufficient skill, knowledge or judgment to have a chance of winning and participants are provided with a route to free entry to the prize competitions as required by UK law.

In the B2B segment, the Company has developed a proprietary Internet gambling enterprise software system that provides for unique casino and live game operations on the platforms that include GM-X System (“GM-X”) and GM-Ag System, 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”).

In the B2C segment, the Company has improved functionality and responsiveness of the RKingsCompetitions.com website and expanded its marketing efforts from Northern Ireland to encompass the UK as its customer reach.

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 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.

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 licensing of its GM-X System or the resale of 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.

On October 29, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year from January 31 to October 31, effective as of the same date.

On November 22, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized number of shares of Common Stock from forty million (40,000,000) shares to two hundred and fifty million (250,000,000) shares and to restate Article 3, Capital Stock thereof, to reflect such amendment, and clarify the Board of Director’s ability to designate and issue ‘blank check’ preferred stock. The Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada and became effective on December 16, 2021.

On November 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement of Ordinary Issued Share Capital (the “Purchase Agreement”), to acquire an 80% ownership interest in RKingsCompetitions Ltd, a private limited company formed under the laws of Northern Ireland (“RKings”).  On December 6, 2021, the Company closed the Purchase, which was effective on November 1, 2021.

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 October 31, 2021 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in the Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the nine months ended October 31, 2021, which the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 13, 2022.

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

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Technology Group Pty Ltd. and its 80% ownership interest in RKingsCompetitions Ltd. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Business Combination - Common Control Asset Acquisition of Global Technology Group Pty Ltd

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.

Business Combination - Acquisition of 80% of RKingsCompetitions Ltd

 The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations. Identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest. Any adjustments to the purchase price allocation are made during the measurement period, not exceeding one year from the acquisition date, in accordance with ASC 805. The Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquired subsidiary at fair value. The excess of the purchase price and the fair value of non-controlling interest in the acquired subsidiary over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary is recognized as goodwill. Identifiable assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.

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 January 31, 2022 and October 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 January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $168,557, respectively. During the three months ended January 31, 2022, $168,557 allowance for doubtful debts was written off and there was no bad debt expense recorded. The corresponding accounts receivable balance was also written off.

Website Development Costs

The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-50 “Website Development Costs”. Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage that meet specific criteria are capitalized and costs incurred in the day-to-day operation of the website are expensed as incurred. All costs associated with the websites are subject to straight-line amortization over a three-year period. During the three months ended January 31, 2022, $47,873 in development costs, or related costs were incurred and capitalized.

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.

Inventories, Prizes

RKings purchases prizes to award to winners of prize competitions; these prizes are the RKings’s inventory. Operations that include prizes are only through RKings. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in, first out (“FIFO”) method. Costs include expenditures incurred in the normal course of business in bringing stocks to their present location and condition. Full provision is made for obsolete and slow-moving items. Net realizable value comprises actual or estimated selling price (net of discounts) less all further costs to completion or to be incurred in marketing and selling. Inventory was $851,709 and $0 at January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Plant and machinery, fixtures, fittings, and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed pursuant to the straight-line method whereby the amount of depreciation is calculated by applying a fixed percentage (25%) on the book value of the asset each year. Property, plant and equipment were $30,520 and $0 at January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 

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:

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 $94,169 and $0 during the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

The Company currently has three distinctive revenue streams. In the B2B segment there are two revenue streams (i) charges for usage of the Company’s software, and, (ii) a royalty charged on the use of third-party gaming content.  In the B2C segment, the revenue stream is related to the charges to enter prize competitions in the UK through RKings.

B2B segment, revenue descriptions:

B2C segment, revenue descriptions:

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.

For the prize competitions ticket sales, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration RKings expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Payments for prize competitions received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue when control of the prize has been transferred to the winner of prize competitions.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic net earnings per share of common stock is 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.

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 three-month periods ended January 31, 2022 and 2021. 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.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The functional currency of our foreign operations is generally the local currency. For these foreign entities, we translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates for the period for income statement amounts and using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities. We record these translation adjustments in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of Equity, in our consolidated balance sheets. We record exchange gains and losses resulting from the conversion of transaction currency to functional currency as a component of other income (expense).

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).

The hierarchy consists of three levels:

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, and 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 since the stock-based compensation is the direct labor cost associated with running the Company’s GM2 Asset system.

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Consolidated Financial Statements.

The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, and the related responses by public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat its outbreak and spread has severely impacted the U.S. and world economies. Decreased demand for our products and services caused by COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Separately, economic recessions, including those brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak may have a negative effect on the demand for our products, services and our operating results. The range of possible impacts on the Company’s business from the coronavirus pandemic could include, but are not limited to: (i) changing demand for the Company’s products and services; (ii) the closure of, or reduction in the number of persons who may be present in, establishments using the Company’s technology (resulting in a decrease in demand for such technology); (iii) travel restrictions and stay at home orders; (iv) recessions and other economic contractions which may decrease the amount of discretionary spending available to consumers and/or the amount such consumers are willing to spend; and (v) increasing contraction in the capital markets. At this time, our operations have not been materially negatively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic although much of the Company’s work was performed in the commuter environment, as opposed to the office setting.

NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. The balance is composed of trade accounts receivables that are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition and amount due from Citibank for Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers that were erroneously processed by Citibank (described below).

Amount due from Citibank is the result of Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers that were erroneously posted to the Company’s bank account. The Company first notified Citibank of ACH transfers that were erroneously posted to the account. Overall, $729,505 of ACH transactions had posted to its accounts that were not authorized. Citibank immediately recognized that it was an error under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) (15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq.) of 1978 and 12 CFR 1005.11 and proceeded to immediately replenished $392,921 of the unauthorized ACH transactions which resulted in a receivable due from Citibank of $336,584 as of October 31, 2021. In November 2021, an additional $247,908 was replenished by Citibank which resulted in a balance due from Citibank of $88,676. As of January 31, 2022, the balance due from Citibank was $88,676. The Company received confirmation from Citibank on February 25, 2022 that they were working to address the issues.

The Company has accounts receivable of $1,709,378 and $1,762,725 as of January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, respectively (net of allowance for bad debt of $0 and $168,557, respectively).

NOTE 3 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE – RELATED PARTY

Accounts receivable-related party are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. The Company has accounts receivable from one related party: Articulate Pty Ltd. (“Articulate”), which is wholly-owned by Anthony Brian Goodman, CEO of the Company and his wife Marla Goodman, which amounts to $533,606 and $1,306,896 as of January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, respectively.

NOTE 4 – PREPAID EXPENSES

The prepaid expenses mainly include credits from our supplier, retainer paid to our corporate attorney, prepaid national press releases, subscription of investor relation feeds, and a one-year Gaming License fee. The balances of prepaid assets are $109,796 and $114,426 as of January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, respectively.

NOTE 5 – SHORT-TERM DEPOSITS

Office Lease deposit

Short-term deposits represent a deposit required for a new office lease in Australia. On June 1, 2021, the Company (through GTG) entered into a three-year term lease agreement for office space which commenced on June 1, 2021. The Company has the option to renew for a period of three years. The rent is $115,265 ($148,902 AUD) per year (subject to a 4% annual increase) plus goods and services tax charged at 10% based on Australian Taxation Law.

 Under the terms of the lease, the Company is required to provide a bank guarantee and has entered into a $57,417 ($81,896 AUD) Term Deposit at St. George Bank (with lessor as beneficiary) as collateral for the bank guarantee (from St. George Bank) to the benefit of the lessor. The Term Deposit was opened on June 1, 2021, has a one-year maturity and earns 0.25% interest per year.

As of January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the operating lease right-of-use asset is $236,906 and $280,183, respectively, and there was also a current operating lease liability of $95,707 and $100,209, respectively and a non-current operating lease liability $144,248 and $182,024, respectively.

NOTE 6 – ACQUISITION 

Related Party Asset Acquisition

On December 22, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Anthony Brian Goodman, CEO of the Company and also the sole director and owner of Global Technology Group Pty Ltd, a company incorporated in Australia (GTG). Under the agreement, Mr. Goodman agreed to sell 100% of the shares in GTG to the Company for total consideration of 85,000 GBP. On January 19, 2021, the Company acquired the shares in GTG and became the ultimate holding company of GTG. On March 22, 2021, the Company paid Mr. Goodman $115,314 USD (equivalent to 85,000 GBP), for the acquisition of GTG.

As described more fully in “NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES”, the assets and liabilities of GTG have been recorded at their historical cost basis at the acquisition date, and are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Share Purchase Agreement are as follows:

Third Party Business Acquisition

On November 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with the Sellers who were the sole shareholders of RKings.

RKings is a United Kingdom based online competition company offering business-to-consumer tournaments whereby individuals can purchase entries for online prize drawings.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Sellers agreed to sell the Company 80% of the outstanding capital stock of RKings (the “Purchase” and the “RKings Stock”). In consideration for the RKings Stock, we agreed to pay the Sellers, pro rata with their ownership of RKings:

In consideration for the RKings Stock, we agreed to pay the Sellers, pro rata with their ownership of RKings:

A total of GBP £1,000,000 (the “Holdback Amount”) is to be retained by the Company following closing and will be released to the Sellers, within six months after the closing date only to the extent that (A) RKings has achieved revenue of at least USD $7,200,000 during the six full calendar months immediately following the closing date; and (B) the Sellers do not default in any of their obligations, covenants or representations under the Purchase Agreement or other transaction documents.

Additionally, in the event the (A) the Company determines, on or before the date on which the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC for the Company’s fiscal year ending October 31, 2022 (the “Filing Date”), that the increase (if any) between (1) RKings’ twelve-month trailing EBITDA for the year ended October 31, 2022, less (2) RKings’ twelve-month trailing EBITDA for the year ended October 31, 2021, is at least GBP £1,250,000 during the twelve-month period ending October 31, 2022; and (B) the Sellers do not default in any of their obligations, covenants or representations under the Purchase Agreement or other transaction documents, then the Company is required to pay the Sellers GBP £4,000,000 (the “Earn-Out Consideration”), which is payable at the option of the Company in either (a) cash; or (b) shares of Company common stock valued at $8.00 per share of Company common stock (subject to equitable adjustment in accordance with dividends payable in stock on such Company Common Stock, stock splits, stock combinations, and other similar events affecting the Company Common Stock) (such shares of Company Common Stock, if any, the “Earn-Out Shares”). Based on the performance of the quarter ended January 31, 2022, the Company determined that it was highly unlikely that the Earn-Out EBITDA Threshold would be met; therefore, no contingent liability was recorded.

On December 6, 2021, the Company closed the Purchase, which had an effective date of November 1, 2021.

The Purchase Agreement also required that the Sellers and the Company enter into a Shareholders Agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”), which was entered into and became effective on November 29, 2021, and is described in greater detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on December 3, 2021.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification section 805, “Business Combinations”, the Company will accounted for the Purchase Agreement transaction as a business combination using the acquisition method. Due to the continuity of operations that will remain after the acquisition, the acquisition was considered the acquisition of a “business”.

Goodwill is  measured as a residual and calculated as the excess of the sum of (1) the purchase price to acquire 80% RKings’ shares, which was $11,358,650, and (2) the fair value of the 20% noncontrolling interest in RKings, which was estimated to be $2,705,000, over the net of the acquisition-date values of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations. The preliminary fair value of purchase consideration for the acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a preliminary valuation of their respective fair values and may change when the final valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is determined.

As described more fully in “NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES”, the assets and liabilities of RKings have been recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date, and are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The calculation of the purchase price and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Purchase Agreement are as follows:

Rkings results of operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements beginning November 1, 2021. Rkings contributed revenues of $5,496,275 and net income of $321,460 for the period from the date of acquisition through January 31, 2022.

The following table summarizes the unaudited pro-forma consolidated results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 as if the acquisition had occurred on November 1, 2020.

The unaudited pro-forma consolidated results above are based on the historical financial statements of the Company and Rkings and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition was completed at November 1, 2020, and are not indicative of the future operating results of the combined company. The pro-forma consolidated results of operations also include the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, including amortization charges related to the finite-lived intangible assets acquired, assuming that the business combination occurred on November 1, 2020. The values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary valuations, for the Rkings acquisition, and are subject to change as the Company obtains additional information during the remaining measurement period.

NOTE 7 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS – SOFTWARE PLATFORM, WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT COSTS, TRADEMARKS AND NON-COMPETE AGREEMENTS

On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Gamefish Global Pty Ltd, a company incorporated in Australia (“Gamefish”), pursuant to which the Company acquired an instance of certain intellectual property that consists of a fully functional Seamless Aggregation Platform (“Aggregation Platform”). As consideration for the acquisition, the Company agreed to pay Gamefish $174,000, payable pursuant to a schedule set forth in the agreement, and certain milestones being met with respect to the stability, functionality and operation of the Aggregation Platform. The Company also agreed to pay a minimum of three months of monthly fees to Gamefish in the amount of $13,050 per month, for ongoing support for the intellectual property. As part of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into consulting agreements with two principals of Gamefish. On November 23, 2021, the Company terminated the Asset Purchase Agreement with Gamefish, effective on November 30, 2021. The outstanding payable to Gamefish of $58,000 was written off and the intangible asset was written down by the same amount.

The website development costs to upgrade and enhance the functionality of Rkings’ website were capitalized. 

Intangible assets related to software and website are amortized on a straight-line basis over their expected useful lives, estimated to be 3 years.

In connection with the acquisition of RkingsCompetition, Ltd, the Company recognized the definite-lived intangible assets consisting of $2,000,000 of trademarks and $600,000 of non-compete agreements. The trademark for RkingsCompetition is amortized over 10 years and the non-compete agreement is amortized over 5 years.

Amortization expenses related to intangible assets were $94,169 and $0 for the three months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $134,604 and $38,737 as of January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, respectively.

 NOTE 8 – ACCOUNTS PAYABLE – RELATED PARTIES

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. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock were reduced at a ratio of 1 share for every 150 shares of common stock outstanding. All fractional shares were rounded up to the next whole number.

The warrants have an exercise price of $4.10 per share (and no cashless exercise rights) and are exercisable until the earlier of (a) August 20, 2022, and (b) the 30th day after the Company provides the holder of the warrants notice that the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock has closed at or above $6.80 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days (the “Ten-Day Period”). The warrants include a beneficial ownership limitation, which limits the exercise of the warrants held by any individual investor in the event that upon exercise such investor (and any related parties of such investor) would hold more than 4.999% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock (which percentage may be increased to 9.999% with at least 61 days prior written notice to the Company from the investor). The Company sold 527,029 Units in total to 11 investors, raising cash of $1,791,863. The relative fair value of the shares was $1,034,438 and the relative fair value of the warrants was $757,425 based on the amount of cash the Company received from the investors. The shares included in the Units purchased have been issued.

From December 9, 2020, to January 7, 2021, ten holders of Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 409,029 shares of the Company’s common stock exercised such Warrants and paid an aggregate exercise price of $1,677,019 to the Company.

(d) Private Placement, Warrant Exercise and Warrant Amendment

 On January 20, 2021, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,000,000 units to one investor, with each unit consisting of one share of restricted common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock, at a price of $5.00 per unit. The units were sold pursuant to the entry into a subscription agreement with the investor (the “Subscription Agreement”). The Subscription Agreement provided the investor customary piggyback registration rights (for both the shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants) which remain in place for the lesser of one year following the closing of the offering and the date that the investor is eligible to sell the applicable securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Warrants have an exercise price of $6.00 per share (and no cashless exercise rights) and are exercisable until the earlier of (a) January 14, 2023, and (b) the 30th day after the Company provides the holder of the Warrants notice that the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock has closed at or above $10.00 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days. The Warrants include a beneficial ownership limitation, which limits the exercise of the Warrants held by the investor in the event that upon exercise such investor (and any related parties of such investor) would hold more than 4.999% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock (which percentage may be increased to 9.999% with at least 61 days prior written notice to the Company from the investor). If the Warrants which were granted in connection with the offering were exercised in full, a maximum of 1,000,000 shares of common stock would be issuable upon exercise thereof. The relative fair value of the shares was $3,590,129 and the relative fair value of the warrants was $1,409,853 based on the amount of cash the Company received from the investors in total $4,999,982. The shares included in the Units purchased have been issued.

From April 26, 2021, to May 7, 2021 (the “Triggering Date”) (ten consecutive trading days), the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock closed at or above $10.00 per share. However, as the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants would have exceeded 4.999% of the Company’s common stock, and as an accommodation to the holder of the Warrants, on May 11, 2021, the Company agreed to provide the holder 61 days from the Triggering Date to exercise the Warrants, and as a result the holder had until July 11, 2021 to exercise such Warrants. 

On July 9, 2021, the holder exercised a portion of the Warrant to purchase 170,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $6.00 per share and paid the Company $1,020,000 in connection with such exercise and funds were received by the Company in a total amount of $1,019,982 ($1,020,000 less $18 in bank charges), on July 14, 2021. The Company issued the holder 170,000 shares of common stock in connection with such exercise.

On July 14, 2021, and effective on June 6, 2021, the Company and the holder of the Warrants entered into an Agreement to Amend and Restate Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “Amendment Agreement”), whereby, in consideration for the holder exercising a portion of the Warrants (warrants to purchase 170,000 shares of common stock, as described above), and as an accommodation to the holder, due to the fact that Warrants did not contemplate a situation where a Triggering Event would result in the holder holding over 4.999% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, the parties agreed to enter into an Amended and Restated Common Stock Purchase Warrant, effective as of June 6, 2021, amending, restating and replacing the prior Warrant Agreement, and evidencing the right of the holder to purchase 830,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the original 1,000,000 shares less the portion of the Warrants previously exercised)(the “Amended and Restated Warrants”) to remove the Trigger Event and to fix the expiration date thereof as of November 11, 2022. The other terms of the prior Warrant Agreement were not changed.

(e) Business Consultant Agreements

On November 23, 2021, the two Business Consulting Agreements were terminated pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

During the three months ended January 31, 2022, a former consultant’s widow and a consultant and one director exercised their options. As a result, 147,118 shares of common stock were issued upon the cashless exercise of the options. During the three months ended January 31, 2021, five consultants exercised their options. As a result, 455,872 shares of common stock were issued upon the cashless exercise of the options and 133,334 shares of common stock were issued upon the cash exercise of the options.

The Offering closed on October 27, 2021.

The Company has used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes and working capital.

EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC acted as placement agent (the “Placement Agent”) on a “reasonable best efforts” basis, in connection with the Offering. The Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement, dated as of October 25, 2021, by and between the Company and the Placement Agent (the “Placement Agency Agreement”). Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Placement Agent received an aggregate cash fee of 6% of the gross proceeds in the Offering, a non-accountable expense reimbursement of 1% of the gross proceeds in the Offering, the reimbursement of certain of the Placement Agent’s expenses not to exceed $60,000, and the reimbursement of certain other expenses.

The Shares sold in the Offering were offered and sold by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-260044), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 5, 2021, which was declared effective by the Commission on October 15, 2021, and the base prospectus contained therein (the “Registration Statement”), and a prospectus supplement forming a part of the effective Registration Statement, dated October 25, 2021, which was filed with the Commission on October 26, 2021.

The Warrants sold in the Offering have a term of three years, and an exercise price of $8.63 per share (subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, dividends and recapitalizations). The Warrants may be exercised on a ‘cashless exercise’ basis if, at any time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the issuance or resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The exercise of the Warrants is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation, which prohibits the exercise thereof, if upon such exercise the holder of the Warrants, its affiliates and any other persons or entities acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates would hold 4.99% (or, upon election of a purchaser prior to the issuance of any shares, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant held by the applicable holder, provided that the holders may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation, provided that any increase in beneficial ownership limitation shall not be effective until 61 days following notice to us and in no event shall such beneficial ownership exceed 9.99% and such 61 day period cannot be waived.

The Warrants also include anti-dilution rights, which provide that if at any time the Warrants are outstanding, we issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) or are deemed to have issued (which includes shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and options and conversion of convertible securities) any common stock or common stock equivalents for consideration less than the then current exercise price of the Warrants, the exercise price of such Warrants is automatically reduced to the lowest price per share of consideration provided or deemed to have been provided for such securities, subject to certain exceptions. 

If we fail for any reason to deliver shares of common stock upon the valid exercise of the Warrants, subject to our receipt of a valid exercise notice and the aggregate exercise price, by the time period set forth in the Warrants, we are required to pay the applicable holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $5,000 of shares subject to such exercise (as calculated in the Warrant), $10 per trading day (increasing to $20 per trading day on the seventh trading day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each trading day that such shares are not delivered. The Warrants also include customary buy-in rights in the event we fail to deliver shares of common stock upon exercise thereof within the time periods set forth in the Warrant.
