ESPORTS ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC. - Annual Report: 2017 (Form 10-K)

PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Overview

Esports Entertainment Group, Inc., ("Esports Entertainment", "the Company", “our” or "we") was incorporated in Nevada on July 22, 2008.  Esports Entertainment is a development-stage online gambling and 18+ gaming company and plans to offer wagering on esports events and the ability to participate in video game tournaments for real-money in a licensed and secure environment.

The online gambling market represents one of the fastest growing segments of the gambling industry. H2 Gambling Capital, a leading supplier of data and market intelligence on the global gambling industry, estimates the current size of the global online gambling market is in excess of US$50 billion.  Source: H2 Gambling Capital, Global Online Gambling Report 2016.

The esports market represents the fastest growing sports market in the world. According to market research firm Newzoo, the global esports audience will reach 385 million in 2017, made up of 191 million esports enthusiasts and a further 194 million occasional viewers. The number of enthusiasts is expected to grow by 50% toward 2020, totaling 286 million. According to Fortune Magazine, the esports fan base will surpass the NFL by 2017. In 2016, there were 424 esports events with a prize pool above $5,000 worldwide. North America held the 28% of the events, followed by Western Europe with 26%, and Eastern Europe with 13%. Total esports prize money in 2016 reached $93.3 million, up from $61.0 million in 2015, or an increase of 52.9% year on year. For major esports events with prize pools above $5,000, total prize money reached $81.5 million, up from $54.7 million in 2015, or an increase of 49.0% year on year. Forbes magazine projects fans of esports will wager $23 billion by 2020.

Esports is the professionalization of video games.  Contrary to its name, esports does not involve video games of traditional sports such as football and basketball. Rather, esports typically takes the form of organized, multiplayer video games that include real-time strategy, fighting, first-person shooter, and multiplayer online battle arena games. The best-known example of an esports game among non-esports enthusiasts is Call of Duty. Currently, however, the two most successful esports games are Dota 2 and League of Legends (a multiplayer online battle arena game) and Counter Strike: Global Offensive (a first-person shooter game).  Other popular games include Smite, StarCraft II, Call of Duty¸ Heroes of the Storm, and Hearthstone. Esports also includes games which can be played, primarily by amateurs, in multiplayer competitions such as WII (Nintendo), and Halo (343 Industries).

Although official competitions have long been a part of video game culture, participation and spectatorship of such events have seen a massive global surge in popularity with the rapid growth of online streaming over the last few years. The advent of online streaming technology has turned esports into a global industry that includes professional players and teams competing in major events that are simultaneously watched in person in stadiums (which are often sold out), as well as  of online viewers (which regularly exceed 1,000,000 for major tournaments).  The impact has been so significant, that many video game developers now build features into their games designed to facilitate competition.

Esports Entertainment intends to offer esports enthusiasts from around the world, excluding the United States, the ability to wager on a wide variety of esports events. Esports Entertainment intends to offer users the opportunity to wager against other users utilizing a peer-to-peer wagering system with no risk to the Company. Esports Entertainment plans to generate revenue from fees charged to players based on a percentage of the

4

amount wagered on an event. Esports Entertainment intends to offer spectators the ability to wager on all major professional esports events and a wide range of amateur esports events.

Esports Entertainment also intends to offer users from around the world, excluding 13 States within the United States, the ability to participate in online mobile and PC video game tournaments and win cash prizes. Participants will be able to enter and play against each other with prize money distributed to the last remaining competitors. Esports will collect a percentage of tournament entry fees and will not have any of its own capital at risk. Esports Entertainment intends to offer users a wide selection of video games of skill to be played online for real money in both small groups and major tournaments.

Esports Entertainment will not offer online users traditional casino style games such as poker, craps or slots, nor will it offer online wagering on traditional sporting events such as football or soccer. Esports Entertainment will be focused solely on offering online wagering on the widest range of esports events broadcast from around the world, as well as, hosting online video game tournaments for enthusiasts.

Given the global demand for live esports events, Esports Entertainment also intends to acquire the 62,000-square foot Grand Princess Casino in Antigua, for the purposes of converting it into an Esports Coliseum that will hold a variety of esports events such as: hosting spectators as they watch live esports events on the main floor; and hosting video game tournaments that provide visitors with the opportunity to participate in tournaments on the second floor.

Our initial plan to launch and operate our business involves two phases.

In the first phase, we intend to complete the development, testing and launching of our esports focused online gambling website. We estimate that the costs involved in completing the first phase will be approximately $2,000,000.  Our sales and marketing efforts began in the third quarter of 2017. We intend to launch our online esports focused wagering website in the fourth quarter of 2017.

In the second phase, we intend to acquire, renovate, equip and operate our land based Esports Coliseum.  We estimate the cost of acquiring and refurbishing the Grand Princess Casino in Antigua to be approximately $14,000,000.  We further estimate the cost of equipping and operating the esports focused multi-purpose facility at approximately $6,000,000 to $8,000,000.  We intend to acquire, renovate, equip and launch our esports focused multi-purpose facility in Antigua within twelve months of raising the necessary funds.  We expect our sales and marketing efforts to begin within six months of the commencement of operations.

We currently have eight full time and four part time employees.  If we are able to raise sufficient capital, we plan to hire additional employees by December 31, 2017.

To date, our operations have been limited to the design, develop and test our wagering systems. As of September 30, 2017, we have not commenced commercial operations. As of September 30, 2017, we have not generated any revenue from our operations.

Our executive and business offices are located at Commercial Centre, Jolly Harbour, St. Mary’s, Antigua and Barbuda.  Our telephone number is (268) 562-1119.

Online Operations

Esports Entertainment intends to offer users from around the world, excluding the United States, the ability to wager on a wide variety of esports events. Esports event gambling involves spectators wagering online on the outcome of professional and amateur esporting events. Esports Entertainment intends to offer users the opportunity to wager against other users utilizing a peer-to-peer wagering system with no risk to the Company. Esports Entertainment intends to offer spectators the ability to wager on all major professional esports events and a wide range of amateur esports events that will be broadcast live via streaming services including, twitch.tv, azubu.tv, ustream.tv and youtube.com. Esports Entertainment currently expects to launch online and mobile versions of esports event betting under the VIE brand beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017.

competitors. We will collect a tournament entry fee for scheduled tournaments and will not have any of our own capital at risk. Esports Entertainment intends to offer users a wide selection of video games of skill to be played online for real money in small groups to major tournaments. Users will be able to enter and participate in tournaments utilizing their PC, game console or mobile device. In video game tournaments, players play against each other in either ring games (i.e., games for cash on a hand-by-hand basis) or in tournaments (i.e., players play against each other for tournament chips with prize money distributed to the last remaining competitors) or variations thereof. Esports Entertainment collects a percentage of each pot (the “rake”) in ring games and a tournament entry fee for scheduled tournaments and sit and go tournaments, which do not put any of the Company’s own capital at risk. Esports Entertainment expects to launch online and mobile versions of tournament play, initially utilizing simple video games and later more complex video games, under the VIE brand beginning in the first half of 2018, globally.

Esports Entertainment has been issued a Client Provider Authorization Permit from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission in Canada. The computer servers and related equipment required for our esports gambling business will be located in the data center facilities on the Mohawk of Kahnawake Indian Reservation in Canada. Although this Permit allows Esports Entertainment’s wholly-owned subsidiary to conduct real-money online gambling and wagering activities on a global basis, Esports Entertainment believes that also operating from Curacao, in addition to from the Mohawk Indian Reservation in Canada, is more beneficial for the following reasons:

·

access to experienced staff

·

access to premium office space

·

lower operating costs

Accordingly, Esports Entertainment has been issued a Curacao eGaming License in Curacao in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The License allows Esports Entertainment’s wholly-owned subsidiary to conduct real-money online gambling and wagering activities on a global basis from Curacao.

We have a Betting Gaming Platform Software Agreement with Swiss Interactive Software GmbH, a company controlled by Yan Rozum, one of our directors. Under the Agreement, Swiss Interactive has agreed to grant Esports Entertainment an exclusive license to offer certain Swiss Interactive developed esports event wagering platforms for real money play and wagering.  

We have agreements with a number of entities that allows us to process money transfers through the internet.

We will control the payments, customer service, marketing and other aspects of our business.

Land Based Operations

In June 2016, the Company made an offer to purchase the Grand Princess Casino, located in Jolly Harbor, Antigua, for $8,000,000 (US$).  A condition of the purchase is the Company is required to pay a deposit of $800,000. While the Company continues to seek additional sources of equity capital, as of September 30, 2017 the Company has not yet paid the required deposit.

In addition to the purchase price, the Company will also need approximately $5,000,000 to refurbish and renovate the facility plus $6,000,000 to $8,000,000 to purchase equipment and provide working capital during the start-up phase following its opening.  The Company estimates the facility, if and when it begins operations, will have approximately 12 employees and will cost approximately $50,000 per month to operate.  If the Company’s offer is accepted, and needed capital is raised, the Company estimates the esports casino will not begin operations until 12 months after the needed capital is raised.

The Grand Princess Casino will not be operated as a traditional casino.  Rather, it will host spectators as they watch live esports events on the main floor, as well as, provide visitors with the opportunity to participate in video game tournaments on the second floor, all under the Esports Coliseum brand.

6

A live esports event normally involves two or more professional teams which are contracted to participate.  The sponsor of the event is typically required to pay the transportation and lodging expenses of the participating teams.  The quality of teams participating is based on the cash prize offered to the winner.  As a sponsor of the event, we will be a major contributor to the cash prize pool with the goal of making the prize pool as large as possible so as attract the highest quality teams.

The Grand Princess Casino consists of 62,000 square feet over three floors and will be rebranded as the Esports Coliseum.

Initially, the first floor of the Esports Coliseum will be used to host events arranged by existing and established esports tournament organizers. We intend to work with multiple esports tournament organizers and arrange for them to host one or a series of events at the Esports Coliseum. As a permanent esports event hosting facility, tournament organizers will benefit from the cost efficiency of not having to ship, assemble and then remove the equipment and services needed to host an esports event involving multiple teams, 1,500 spectators and broadcasting in a temporary facility. The Esports Coliseum plans to generate revenue from facilities rental to tournament organizers in the form of a flat fee or as a percentage of ticket sales.

Ultimately, we also intend to organize and host our own esports events on the first floor of the Esports Coliseum. We intend to negotiate with multiple video game publishers to secure the rights to their game software to enable us to host one or more esports events at the Esports Coliseum. The cost of the game software licenses are negotiated individually and can be based on a flat fee, as a percentage of the prize pool, as a percentage of ticket sales, or at no cost. We intend to attract esports spectator demographic focused sponsors and advertisers to make financial contributes to the event prize pool. We intend to enter into agreements with the esports teams from around the world to have them participate in our events. The teams will have the opportunity to compete for the prize pool offered. We intend to broadcast globally all esports events live on multiple video streaming platforms, such as twitch.tv and youtube.com.  We intend to market the events primarily through online advertising on esports focused websites and the websites and social media of professional esports players and teams. We plan to generate revenue in the form of ticket sales, third party sponsorship and advertising fees, both at the Esports Coliseum and on online broadcasts of tournaments.

The second floor of the Esports Coliseum will provide a tournament play area with space for up to 200 participants who will play video games among themselves. The tournament play area will be equipped with 200 gaming stations, each of which will include the latest in gaming hardware and accessories, a computer with a large monitor, desk and ergonomic chair. Participants will be able to enter and play against each other for tournament chips with prize money distributed to the last remaining competitors. We will collect a tournament entry fee for scheduled tournaments and will not have any of our own capital at risk. No spectator seating will be available on the second floor and the tournaments played on the second floor will not be broadcast.

The second floor will also host a full-service restaurant and lounge. A portion of the third floor is planned for a roof top patio bar area. The remainder of the third floor will be utilized for offices.

Sales and Marketing

We plan to:

·

implement an affiliate marketing program. Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing by which a business, such as ours, rewards affiliates for each customer brought by the affiliate's marketing efforts. Affiliate marketing is a very successful form of online marketing and is utilized by global leaders such as Amazon, Apple and all leading online gambling sites.

·

advertise and sponsor major professional esports events held in stadiums around the world that are broadcast online to a global audience.

·

utilize professional esports players and other celebrities, who have an interest in video games and esports, to generate new customers.

·

use a multimedia approach focusing on acquiring and retaining customers.

7

·

use online advertisements, paid search optimization, and various social media campaigns to increase our online presence and drive traffic to our website.

If we are able to acquire the Grand Princess Casino in Antigua, the Esports Entertainment brands will be featured prominently as a major sponsor of professional esports events held at the facility and broadcast globally.

Competition

The online gambling and wagering industry is increasingly competitive. With relatively low barriers to entry, new competitors are entering the esports wagering and video game tournament segments. In both of these segments, there currently exist several major competitors.  Because many of these competitors focus on delivering one product, as opposed to a full suite of esports and video gambling products and services that Esports Entertainment intends to offer, the competitors may offer an equivalent or superior product to that of the Company.  Esports Entertainment expects the number of companies offering products and services in each market segment to increase.  Many of Esports Entertainment’s current and potential competitors, including but not limited to Unikrn, Skilz, bet365, William Hill, Betway, and Pinnacle Sports, have far greater resources than Esports Entertainment.

Regulations Affecting our Business

The offering and operation of online real-money gambling platforms and related software and solutions is subject to extensive regulation and approval by various federal, state, provincial, tribal and foreign agencies (collectively, “gaming authorities”). Gambling laws require us to obtain licenses or findings of suitability from gaming authorities for Esports Entertainment, including each of our subsidiaries engaged in these activities, and certain of our directors, officers, employees and in some instances, significant shareholders (typically beneficial owners of more than 5% of a company’s outstanding equity). The criteria used by gambling authorities to make determinations as to qualification and suitability of an applicant varies among jurisdictions, but generally require the submission of detailed personal and financial information followed by a thorough investigation. Gaming authorities have broad discretion in determining whether an applicant qualifies for licensing or should be found suitable. Gambling authorities generally look to the following criteria when determining to grant a license or finding of suitability, including (i) the financial stability, integrity and responsibility of the applicant, (ii) the quality and security of the applicant’s online real-money platform and gaming equipment and related software, as applicable, (iii) and, the past history of the applicant. Gambling authorities may, subject to certain administrative proceeding requirements, (i) deny an application, or limit, condition, restrict, revoke or suspend any license, registration, finding of suitability or approval, and (ii) fine any person licensed, registered or found suitable or approved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, some jurisdictions explicitly prohibit gaming in all or certain forms and we will not market our gambling services in these jurisdictions. If any director, officer or employee of ours fails to qualify for a license or is found unsuitable (including due to the failure to submit the required documentation) by a gaming authority, we may deem it necessary, or be required to, sever our relationship with such person, which may include terminating the employment of any such person. Gambling authorities have the right to investigate any individual or entity having a material relationship with us, to determine whether such individual or entity is suitable or should be licensed to do business as a business associate of ours. In addition, certain gambling authorities monitor the activities of the entities they regulate both in their respective jurisdiction and in other jurisdictions to ensure that these entities are in compliance with local standards on a worldwide basis. As a regulated entity, we will be required to maintain strong corporate governance standards and will be required to, among other things, maintain effective internal controls over our financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, maintain systems for accurate record keeping, file periodic reports with gaming authorities and maintain strict compliance with various laws and regulations applicable to our business.

We will work to obtain all permits, authorizations, registrations and/or licenses required in the jurisdictions in which we operate.  We will have a zero-tolerance approach to money laundering, fraud and collusion and we will work with regulators and law enforcement globally in this area.  We plan to have a dedicated compliance team that will work to ensure that we comply with all regulatory requirements under our licenses, as well as all applicable anti-money laundering, anti-fraud and anti-collusion rules and laws.

We will be dedicated to responsible gambling practices and will seek to provide our customers with the resources and services they need to play responsibly. These practices, resources and services are expected to include deposit limits, table and game play limits, voluntary restrictions on access and use of certain games,

self-exclusion and cooling off periods, and voluntary permanent exclusions from our services, sites and applications.

Trades of our common stock are subject to Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which rule imposes certain requirements on broker/dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.  For transactions covered by the rule, brokers/dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to sale.  The Securities and Exchange Commission also has rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks".  Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system).  The penny stock rules require a broker/ dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.  The broker/dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.  The bid and offer quotations, and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock.

As of June 30, 2017, we had 74 shareholders of record. We have not paid cash dividends and we do not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.  We have outstanding warrants and options which can be converted into shares of our common stock.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

10

Material changes in line items in our Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period last year, are discussed below:

Revenue and Expenses

We had no revenue from July 22, 2008 (inception) through June 30, 2017.

Our operating results for the year ended June 30, 2017, and the year ended June 30, 2016 are summarized as follows.

Our operating expenses are classified into several categories:

·

Directors Compensation

·

Consulting Fees

·

Professional Fees

·

General and Administrative Expenses

Directors Compensation is comprised of cash and stock fees paid to the Directors of the Company.  These amounted to $161,102 for the year ended June 30, 2017 and $140,000 for the year ended June 30, 2016.  The increase of $ $21,102 in Directors fees period over period is attributable primarily to the change in the Board members appointed during the year.

Consulting fees are comprised of cash and stock fees paid to Consultants to the Company. These amounted to $349,119 for the year ended June 30, 2017 and $118,392 for the year ended June 30, 2016. The increase of $230,727 in Consulting fees over the prior period is attributed primarily to additional work being contracted out by the Company to third party consultants.

Professional Fees consist primarily of our contracted accounting, legal and audit fees. These amounted to $91,705 for the year ended June 30, 2017 and $39,928 for the year ended June 30, 2016.  The increase of $51,777 in professional fees period over period is attributable primarily to increases in accounting, legal and audit fees for preparation and review of our filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses refers to our office supplies, telephone expenses, bank charges, fees to process and file documents with the SEC, stock transfer fees and corporate filing fees with the State of Nevada and other administrative expenses. These amounted to $152,223 for the year ended June 30, 2017 and $55,744 for the year ended June 30, 2016 respectively. The increase of $96,479 in 2017 versus 2016 is attributable primarily to increased business development activities.

Interest expense amounted to $57,696 for the year ended June 30, 2017 and $6,289 for the year ended June 30, 2016. The increase of $51,407 in interest expense period over the prior period is the result of increased debt.

For the year ending June 30, 2017 we incurred total operating expenses and resulting net loss of  $754,149 and  $837,932 respectively, and for the year ending June 30, 2016 we incurred total operating expenses and resulting net loss of $353,064 and $337,655 respectively.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

For the twelve months ended June 30, 2017, cash used by operating activities was $482,322. Cash used by operating activities for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 was $238,925. The change in cash used by operating activities was primarily due to the increase in stock issuances for services rendered to the Company.

Cash used by investing activities during the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 was $107,178. Cash used by investing activities for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 was $Nil. The change in cash used in investing activities is due to the cash used to purchase computer software and equipment during twelve months ended June 30, 2017.

11

Net cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 was $1,087,688. Cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 was $185,982. The change in cash provided by financing activities is due primarily to the increase in cash received from the issuance of shares during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2017.

At June 30, 2017 we had $546,110 in cash, compared to $47,922 as at June 30, 2016.

The cost to launch our wagering systems and commence operations is estimated to be in approximately $2,000,000 over the next twelve months. In addition to the $8,000,000 purchase price, the Company will also need approximately $5,000,000 to refurbish and renovate the Grand Princess casino plus $6,000,000 to $8,000,000 to purchase equipment for the casino and to provide working capital during the start-up phase following its opening. Our current cash holdings will not satisfy our capital requirements and we will require additional financing to pursue our planned business activities. We are in the process of seeking equity financing to fund our operations over the next 12 months.  If we are unsuccessful in raising additional equity capital we will then have to seek additional funds through debt financing, which would be highly difficult for a new development stage company to secure and, which may not even be available. However, if such financing were available, we would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of available debt financing and determine whether our business could sustain operations and growth and manage the debt load. If we cannot raise additional capital we would be required to cease operations. As a result, investors in our common stock may lose all of their investment.

Our auditor’s report on our June 30, 2017 financial statements expresses an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business.

We believe that if sufficient capital is available, we will generate revenue within twelve months of raising the capital.

Other than the foregoing, we do not know of any trends that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (formerly VGambling, Inc.)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (formerly VGambling, Inc.) (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.  

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, and the result of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements

June 30, 2016

1.   Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (formerly VGambling Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2008.  On May 20, 2013, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with H&H Arizona Corporation, an Antigua and Barbuda corporation which is in the business of internet gambling.

On May 10, 2010, the Company completed its merger with Dongke Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware company, in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement.  Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock and ownership interests of Dongke from the Dongke shareholders.  In exchange for their interests, the Company issued to Donke shareholders an aggregate of 1,941,818 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The reverse merger was cancelled on April 30, 2013, and 26,700,000 shares were returned to treasure.

On May 20, 2013, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with H&H Arizona Corporation.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock and ownership interests of H&H Arizona Corporation from the H&H Arizona shareholders.  In exchange for the interest, the Company issued to the H&H Arizona shareholders 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  As a result of the consummation of the Exchange Agreement, H&H Arizona became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the Company’s operating entity.

H&H Arizona Corporation is treated as the “accounting acquirer” in the accompanying financial statements.  In the transaction, the Company issued 50,000,000 common shares to the shareholders of H&H Arizona Corporation; such shares represented, immediately following the transaction, 79% of the outstanding shares of the Company.  The transaction was accounted for as a “reverse merger” and a reverse recapitalization and the issuances of common stock were recorded as a reclassification between paid-in-capital and par value of Common Stock.

On April 18, 2017, the majority of the Shareholders of the Company's common stock voted to approve a change of the name of the Company from VGambling, Inc. to Esports Entertainment Group, Inc.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a)   Basis of Presentation

The financial statements present the balance sheet, statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows of the Company. These financial statements are presented in the United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. These consolidated statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, H&H Arizona Corporation.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company has elected a June 30 year-end.

b)   Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

c)   Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

d)   Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Property and Equipment are amortized using straight-line method.  Computer equipment is amortized over 36 months, and office furniture and equipment are amortized over 60 months.

Depreciation expense was $665 for the years ended June 30, 2017.

e)   Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 "Income Taxes," which codified SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" and FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities 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. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

f)   Net Loss per Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share.” ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement.

Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company. Diluted EPS  excludes  all  dilutive  potential  shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

g)   Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the US dollar. Foreign exchange items are translated to US dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Translation Matters”, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.

h)   Share Based Expenses

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation, and ASC 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Notes to the Financial Statements

June 30, 2016

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

i)   Beneficial Conversion Feature

From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain an imbedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.

j)   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

3.   Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize it assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.  During the period ended June 30, 2017, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,774,160.  The Company is licensed to conduct online gambling.  The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company had signed agreement with Monarch Bay Securities, LLC in June 2016 to raise $6 million to $8 million through sell of equity or equity linked securities in the next twelve months. However, management cannot provide any assurances that our company will be successful in accomplishing any of our plans.

4.   Acquisition of H&H Arizona Corporation and Recapitalization

On May 20, 2013, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with H&H Arizona Corporation.  Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock and ownership interests of H&H Arizona from the H&H Arizona shareholders.  In exchange for the interest, the Company issued to the H&H Arizona shareholders 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  As a result of the consummation of the Exchange Agreement, H&H Arizona became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the Company’s operating entity.  On October 9, 2017, H&H Arizona Corporation changed its name to “Esports Services (Antigua) Ltd.”

This Note will become effective only upon the execution by both parties, and the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions and delivery of the initial payment of consideration by the Holder (the “Effective Date”).

Income Taxes

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has incurred a net operating loss of $1,774,160 which will start to expire in 2030. The Company has adopted ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for non-capital losses carried forward. The potential benefit of the net operating loss has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the loss carried forward in future years.  Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.
