PART I

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

Overview

We are an online gambling company.  We offer persons (which we sometimes refer to as “players”) the ability to wager on a wide variety of esports events in a licensed and secure environment.  Esports is the competitive playing of video games by amateur and professional teams for cash prizes. Esports event gambling involves players wagering online on the outcome of professional esports events.  In the future, we intend to also offer players the ability to participate in video game tournaments for cash prizes.  

We were incorporated in Nevada on July 22, 2008.  Our company was engaged in a number of different enterprises up until May 20, 2013, when, pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of H&H Arizona in exchange for 50,000,000 shares of our common stock.  From May 2013 until August 2018, our operations were limited to designing, developing and testing our wagering systems. We launched our online esports wagering website (www.vie.gg) in August 2018. We are currently the only online gambling company focused on esports to offer bet exchange style wagering, player VS player (“PvP”) betting, on professional esports events.

Esports is video game played competitively for spectators, typically by professional gamers.  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. A well-known example of an Esport game is Call of Duty. Currently, however, the two largest selling esports games are Dota 2, 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, Hearthstone and Fortnite. Esports also includes games which can be played, primarily by amateurs, in multiplayer competitions such as WII (Nintendo), and Halo (343 Industries).  Most major professional esports events and a wide range of amateur esports events are broadcast live via streaming services including, twitch.tv, azubu.tv, ustream.tv and youtube.com.

According to market research firm Newzoo, in 2018 the total global esports audience will reach 380.2 million. Esports Enthusiasts, which are people who watch professional esports content at least once a month, will make up 165.0 million of the total up from 143.2 million in 2017, and will grow with a CAGR (2016-2021) of +15.6% to reach almost 250 million in 2021. The number of Occasional Viewers, which are people who watch professional esports content less than once a month, will reach 215.2 million in 2018, up from 191.9 million in 2017, and will grow with a CAGR of +14.0% to surpass 306 million in 2021. The number of people who are aware of esports worldwide will reach 1.6 billion in 2018, up from 1.3 billion in 2017. China is expected to contribute most to global esports awareness, with 468.3 million people aware of esports. The increasing exposure of esports as a mainstream entertainment industry is driving the growth in awareness in most regions.  Audience and awareness growth in the emerging regions of Latin America, Middle East and Africa, Southeast Asia, and Rest of Asia is largely driven by improving IT infrastructure and urbanization. The rise of new franchises, such as PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS or PubG, is an important global growth factor. The influx of millennials, to whom esports is a natural phenomenon, will further drive the growth of the industry’s audience.

In 2017, there were 588 major esports events that generated an estimated $59 million in ticket revenues, up from $32 million in 2016. The total prize money of all esports events held in 2017 reached $112 million, breaking the $100 million mark for the first year.

Forbes magazine projects fans of esports will wager $23 billion on professional esports events by 2020.

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), and by 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.

Online Operations

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 and is projected to reach US$81 billion by 2022.  Source: H2 Gambling Capital, Global Online Gambling Report 2017.

We are 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 in the future. We do not offer online users traditional casino style games such as poker, craps or slots, nor will we offer online wagering on traditional sporting events such as football or soccer.

At our website, www.vie.gg, we offer esports enthusiasts in certain countries the ability to wager on a wide range of professional esports events. Utilizing our peer-to-peer wagering system, we offer real money betting exchange style wagering on esports events from around the world. 

A betting exchange allows players to bet against each other rather than a bookmaker. Players can offer odds to, or request odds from, fellow gamblers. Where traditional bookmakers risk going head-to-head with gamblers on markets, a betting exchange takes on no risk at all. Instead, a betting exchange provides the platform for its customers to match bets against each other and takes a small commission on winnings. Betting exchanges are becoming an increasingly integral part of the global gambling landscape, in many cases offering customers much better odds, more transparency, and an experience that feels intuitively fairer.

We have been issued a Client Provider Authorization Permit from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission in Canada and an eGaming License in Curacao (Kingdom of the Netherlands).  All persons 18 years and older can presently place bets on our online gambling website at www.vie.gg except for residents of the following countries:

·

United States

·

European Union member countries

·

Turkey

·

Singapore

·

Colombia

To allow residents of certain European Union member countries to place bets on our website we have applied for an online gambling license from the country of Malta.  If granted, residents of 22 European Union countries would be able to place bets on our website.

Once on our online gaming website www.vie.gg, a player can place a bet on a team participating in any number of tournaments which are scheduled to be held in the upcoming week or weeks.  A player can either start the bet, using whatever odds are chosen by the player, or accept a bet started by another player.  Each bet pertains to a particular game in the tournament. Once the game is over, the winning proceeds, net of our service fee, are electronically transferred to the winning player’s account.

For our services, we keep from 5.0% to 10.0% of the amount paid to the winning player.  

Esports games are played by professional teams, amateur teams, and individuals.  An esports team typically consists of 4 members   All professional esports teams have their own social media presence.  Some of the top professional esports teams have millions of fans who visit the team’s website on a regular basis.  A website usually contains information about the team and upcoming esports tournaments or events in which the team will participate.  

5

As part of our efforts to market our online gaming services, we attempt to enter into “Affiliate Marketing Agreements” with professional esport teams.

As an Affiliate, the esports team will provide their fans with a link to our online gaming website, where the fan, if located in a country which allows the fan to place a bet using our gaming platform, can bet on teams playing in esports tournaments.  For a player placing a bet through the team’s link to our website www.vie.gg, and provided the player won the bet, we pay the Affiliate a percentage of the amount we collect from the winning bet.  As of October 12, 2018, we had more than 170 esports teams agreeing to act as our Affiliates. In addition, we also have more than 100 esports social media influencers agreeing to act as our Affiliates.

We have agreements with the following companies which provide us with certain aspects of our online gaming system:

Money Matrix. MoneyMatrix provides us with the software we use to receive payments from players.  Using MoneyMatrix, a player can select from over 150 payment options (i.e. Skrill, Astropay) to deposit funds with us for use in placing bets.

Partner Matrix. PartnerMatrix provides us with the software we use to track players placing a bet through an Affiliates link to our website.

SportRadar.  SportRadar, provides our online gaming website with information as to upcoming tournaments, the teams participating in those tournaments, the dates and times of tournament games, and the winners of tournament games.  

Swiss Interactive Software Gmbh.  Our betting platform is licensed from Swiss Interactive Software GmbH, a company controlled by Yan Rozum, one of our directors. We pay Swiss Interactive Software a percentage on gaming revenues up to $300,000 annually for this license depending on volume of transactions. 

Ardmore Software SP.Z.O.O. Software development and network administration services are provided by Ardmore Software SP.Z.O.O., a company controlled by Yan Rozum, one of our directors. We pay Ardmore Software a monthly fee of $24,700. 

We also intend to offer players from around the world, excluding 13 states in the United States which currently prohibit playing games of skill for cash prizes, the ability to enter and participate in online video game tournaments and win cash prizes. Skill based video games are not gambling and therefore is not subject to the same laws and regulations as our esports event wagering service. Participants will be able to enter and play against each other 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 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 at www.vie.gg. Users will be able to enter and participate in tournaments using their PC, game console or mobile device. Players will 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 prize money distributed to the last remaining competitors) or variations thereof. None of our money will be at risk since we will collect a percentage of each pot (typically 10%) in games and a tournament entry fee for scheduled tournaments. Esports Entertainment expects to launch online 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 2019.

Grand Princess Casino

In December 2017, we made an offer to purchase the Grand Princess Casino, located in Jolly Harbor, Antigua, for $7,500,000.   As of September 30, 2018 and October 12, 2018, we had not paid the deposit required as a condition of the offer and there is no assurance we will do so or consummate the purchase.

If we complete the purchase, 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 VIE Esports Coliseum brand.

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

6

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 VIE Esports Coliseum.

Initially, the first floor of the VIE 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 VIE 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 VIE 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 VIE 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 VIE 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 VIE Esports Coliseum and on online broadcasts of tournaments.

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

Marketing

We plan to:

·

continue our affiliate marketing program with professional esports teams and others.

·

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.

·

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, our VIE brand will be featured prominently as a major sponsor of professional esports events held at the facility and broadcast globally.

During the twelve months ended September 30, 2019 we plan to spend approximately $3,000,000 on marketing.

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.  Most of our current competitors, including Unikrn, bet365, William Hill, Betway, and Pinnacle Sports, have far greater resources than we have.

We believe the following differentiates us from our competitors:

·

Peer-to-Peer Wagering Model:

We are currently the first and only esports focused online gambling company to offer bet exchange style wagering and pool betting on professional esports events. Our unique peer-to-peer wagering and gaming model allows the users to wager against other users, with no risk to the Company and a player always wins. The Company’s real-money betting exchange style wagering and pool betting enables us to facilitate wagering on a wide range of professional esports events broadcast online. Our peer-to-peer bet exchange platform allows us to offer players the best odds when wagering on esports events.

·

Esports Focused:

We are focused solely on esports gambling and 18+ gaming. We will not offer users traditional casino style games like poker, craps or slots nor will we offer wagering on traditional sporting events like football or soccer. The Company is focused solely on delivering the widest selection of content and offering the widest range of esports events all for real-money wagering.

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 and sometimes lengthy 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, and (iii) 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.

On May 14, 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, a 1992 law that barred state-authorized sports gambling with some exceptions and made Nevada the only state where a person could wager on the results of a single game. Since the Supreme Court’s

8

decision, sports gambling has commenced in several states and several more states have enabling legislation pending. We plan to explore expansion into the US market place when we are ready.

Expansion Plans

Our plans to expand our business depend on the availability of capital and are as follows:

We have applied for an online gambling license in Malta and we intend to establish our office and commence online gambling operations in that jurisdiction within the next 6 months so that we can service much of the European Union market.

We intend to apply for an online gambling license in an Asia jurisdiction and we intend to establish our office and commence online gambling operations in that jurisdiction within the next 18 months.  

We intend to launch our skill-based video game tournaments to be played on mobile devices within the next 6 months.  We will license the software required for these tournaments from one of several software firms being interviewed.  The software license is expected to require an initial estimated payment of $250,000 and monthly payments of up to $25,000.

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 October 12, 2018, we had 93 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.

Material changes in line items in our Statement of Operations for the year ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period last year, are discussed below:

10

Revenue and Expenses

Our operating expenses are classified into several categories:

·

Directors ’ Compensation

·

Consulting Fees

·

Professional Fees

·

General and Administrative

·

Stock Based Compensation

Directors’ compensation is comprised of cash and stock based fees paid to the Directors of the Company.  These amounted to $50,255 for the year ended June 30, 2018 and $161,102 for the year ended June 30, 2017.  The decrease of $110,847 in Directors fees period over period is attributable primarily to the change of a Board member to an Executive during the year.

Consulting fees are comprised of cash and stock fees paid to consultants to the Company. These amounted to $967,618 for the year ended June 30, 2018 and $349,119 for the year ended June 30, 2017. The increase of $618,499 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 $211,971 for the year ended June 30, 2018 and $91,705 for the year ended June 30, 2017.  The increase of $120,266 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 2018.

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 $696,543 for the year ended June 30, 2018 and $152,223 for the year ended June 30, 2017 respectively. The increase of $544,320 in 2018 versus 2017 is attributable primarily to increased staff and business development activities.

Stock based compensation refers to stock options issued to employees and consultants as part of their compensation package. These amounted to $79,328 for the year ended June 30, 2018 and $Nil for the year ended June 30, 2017. The increase of $79,328 in 2018 versus 2017 is attributable to the fact that there were no stock option grants during fiscal 2017.

Interest expense amounted to $121 for the year ended June 30, 2018 and $57,696 for the year ended June 30, 2017. The decrease of $57,575 in interest expense period over the prior period is the result of decreased debt.

For the year ending June 30, 2018, we incurred total operating expenses and resulting net loss of $2,005,715 and $2,028,662, respectively, and for the year ending June 30, 2017 we incurred total operating expenses and resulting net loss of $754,149 and $837,932, respectively.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

For the twelve months ended June 30, 2018, cash used by operating activities was $1,370,458. Cash used by operating activities for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 was $482,322. The change in cash used by operating activities was primarily due to increased operating activity and the increase in accounts payable.

Cash used by investing activities during the twelve months ended June 30, 2018 was $80,814. Cash used by investing activities for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 was $107,178. The change in cash used in investing activities is due to a reduced number of computer equipment purchases during the twelve months ended June 30, 2018.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended June 30, 2018 was $1,005,329. Cash provided by financing activities for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 was $1,087,688. The change in cash provided by financing activities is due primarily to less proceeds received from the issuance of common stock and warrants during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2018.

In addition to the $7,500,000 purchase price the Grand Princess casino, we will also need additional capital to refurbish and renovate the casino and to purchase equipment for the casino, estimated at approximately $15,000,000, and to provide working capital during the start-up phase following its opening. We expect the monthly operating expenses for the casino to be approximately $25,000. 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 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, 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, 2018 financial statements expresses an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business.

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 of Esports Entertainment Group, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2018, and the related consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, consolidated statement of cash flows, and consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity for the year ended June 30, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2017 were audited by other auditors who expressed an opinion without reservation on those statements in their report dated October 23, 2017.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Esports Entertainment Group, Inc.’s operating loss for the year ended June 30, 2018, and limited working capital as at June 30, 2018 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.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

1.

Nature of Operations and Going Concern

Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (formerly VGambling Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 22, 2008.  

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.

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to obtain the licenses required to operate its gambling business, failing to secure the additional funding required to fully operationalize the Company’s business, and the risk of existing or future competitors offering similar or more advanced technology.

The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized profitable operations and has relied on non-operational sources to fund operations.  The Company has incurred recurring losses and additional future losses are anticipated as the Company has not yet been able to generate revenue.

These consolidated 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.  As at June 30, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,802,822 and working capital of $112,728. The Company has not generated any revenues during the period ended June 30, 2018.  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. Management’s evaluations are based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably to be knowable as of October 12, 2018.  Based on the following, management believes that it is probable that management will be unable to meet its obligations as they come due within one year that the financial statements are issued.

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.  Such adjustments could be material.

2.

Presentation of Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”). All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of June 30, 2018 have been included.

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance and the Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Actual amounts could materially differ from these estimates. The significant areas requiring the use of management estimates are related to provision for doubtful accounts, accrued liabilities, contingencies, the valuation of deferred taxes, stock based compensation, warrants, convertible debt and intangible assets. Although

F-6

these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions management may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ materially from those estimates.

3.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation

The consolidated statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Esports Services Antigua Ltd., Vie Esports Services B.V., Esport Services (Malta) Limited and Esports Entertainment (Malta) Ltd.  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. As at June 30, 2018 and 2017 there were no cash equivalents.

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses consist of services paid, for which the Company has not yet received the benefit.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of an asset is derecognized when replaced.

Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the statements of operations, during the year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation is provided for over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

Furniture and Equipment

5 years

Computer Equipment

3 years

Useful lives and residual values are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in operations.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are comprised of online gaming website development costs and software are capitalized and amortized over an estimated useful life of 3 years.  Costs related to the design or maintenance of internal-use software and website development are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset might not be recoverable. An impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, is recognized if the carrying amount exceeds estimated undiscounted future cash flows.

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-7

FASB issued ASC 740-10 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability or indirectly; and

Level 3 – inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and due to shareholder approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share is calculated using the treasury stock method and reflects the potential dilution of securities by including stock options, warrants and contingently issuable shares, if any, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a year, if dilutive. In a loss year, dilutive common shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the basic loss per share was equal to diluted loss per share as there were no dilutive securities.

Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company, at the year-end exchange rate, while foreign currency expenses are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction. The resultant gains or losses are included in the statement of operations. Non-monetary items are translated at historical rates.

Stock-based Compensation

ASC 718 ”Compensation - Stock Compensation,” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period), on a graded vesting basis.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 ”Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

The estimated fair value of the options and warrants that are ultimately expected to vest based on performance related conditions, as well as the options and warrants that are expected to vest based on future service, is recorded over the instrument’s requisite service period and charged to stock-based compensation. In determining the amount

F-8

of options and warrants that are expected to vest, the Company takes into account, voluntary termination behavior as well as trends of actual option and warrant forfeitures.

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements.

ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes was issued to simplify the classification of deferred taxes on the balance sheet. The new guidance would require that deferred taxes be classified as non-current assets and liabilities based on the tax paying jurisdiction. Application of the standard, which can be applied prospectively or retrospectively, is required for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods within that year. The adoption of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The areas of simplification in the update involve several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows, however, some of the areas for simplification apply only to non-public entities. This guidance is effective for The guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The following are new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued a new standard which requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The new guidance will require the asset and liability to be initially measured at the present value of the lease payments in the statement of financial position. The new guidance will also require the company to recognize interest expense on the lease liability separately from the amortization of the right-use-asset for finance leases and recognize a single lease cost allocated on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating leases, in the statement of comprehensive income. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The ASU provides clarity to preparers on the treatment of eight specific items within an entity’s statement of cash flows. The guidance becomes effective for all public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Early adoption of the guidance, including within an interim period, is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The ASU amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based arrangements and provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is

F-9

permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. ASU 2018-05 amends SEC paragraphs in ASC 740 to reflect SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No.118. When the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") was signed into law, the SEC staff released SAB 118 for applying Topic 740 as it relates to the Act. SAB 118 outlines the approach companies may take if they determine that the necessary information is not available (in reasonable detail) to evaluate, compute, and prepare accounting entries to recognize the effect(s) of the Act by the time the financial statements are required to be filed. Companies may use this approach when the timely determination of some or all of the income tax effect(s) from the Act is incomplete by the due date of the financial statements. SAB 118 also prescribes disclosures that reporting entities must provide in these circumstances. The amendments to the Accounting Standards Codification became effective upon issuance. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance to determine the impact it may have on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other- Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU addresses customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and also adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance to determine the impact it may have on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The ASU eliminates such disclosures as the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The ASU adds new disclosure requirements for Level 3 measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance to determine the impact it may have on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This ASU eliminated most of the differences between accounting guidance for share-based compensation granted to nonemployees and the guidance for share-based compensation granted to employees. The ASU supersedes the guidance for nonemployees and expands the scope of the guidance for employees to include both. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance to determine the impact it may have on the Company’s financial statements.

Financial Instruments

(a) Liquidity risk

F-19

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not have sufficient cash resources to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company’s liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if its access to the capital market is hindered, whether as a result of a downturn in stock market conditions generally or matters specific to the Company. The Company generates cash flow primarily from its financing activities and advances from shareholders. As at June 30, 2018, the Company had cash of $100,167 (2017 - $546,110) to settle current liabilities of $343,567 (2017 - $87,105). All of the Company’s financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms. The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as liquidity.

In the normal course of business, management considers various alternatives to ensure that the Company can meet some of its operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placements of common stock, offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments as well as through merger or acquisition opportunities. Management may also consider strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures. As future operations may be financed out of funds generated from financing activities, the ability to do so is dependent on, among other factors, the overall state of capital markets and investor appetite for investments in the esports industry and the Company’s securities in particular. Should the Company elect to satisfy its cash commitments through the issuance of securities, by way of either private placement or public offering or otherwise, there can be no assurance that the efforts to obtain such additional funding will be successful, or achieved on terms favorable to the Company or its existing shareholders. If adequate funds are not available on favorable terms, the Company may have to reduce substantially or eliminate expenditures or obtain funds through other sources such as divestiture or monetization of certain assets or sublicensing (where permitted) of certain rights to certain of the Company’s technologies or products.

(b) Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Cash deposits with a chartered bank in Antigua are uninsured. Cash deposits with a major U.S. chartered bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. As at June 30, 2018, the Company held $19,217 (2017 - $546,110) with an Antigua chartered bank, and $80,950 (2017 - $Nil) with a U.S. chartered bank through a trust account with the Company’s legal counsel.

(c) Foreign exchange risk

The Company principally operates within Antigua, Malta and the U.S. The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar and major purchases are transacted in U.S. dollars. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived from currency conversions is negligible and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk.

(d) Interest rate risk

As at June 30, 2018, the Company does not have any non-fixed interest-bearing debt.

In order to prepay the Notes, the Company must give at least 20 trading days written notice to the Investors, during which time the holders may convert the Notes in whole or in part.

The holder of the Note would be entitled at any time after the requisite 144 holding period, to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of the Notes then outstanding into common shares at a price of $0.60 per share.  In the event of default, the conversion price would be equal to 80% of the lowest trading price of the common stock as reported on the OTCQB or other principal market where the Company's common stock is traded for the twenty prior trading days.

100% warrant coverage would be exercisable for a period of 3 years post issuance at an exercise price of $0.75 per share.

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2018, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive/principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described below.

Our principal executive officers do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officers have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

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

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 our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management identified the following four material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

14

As a result of the material weaknesses identified above, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2018.

The Company plans to initiate a program to address the above weakness. While segregation of duties is very difficult in a small company.  The Company has an internal policy that all major expenditures must be approved by a majority of the Board of Directors.  In addition, the Company has constituted an Audit Committee, consisting of two non-management directors with an Independent Director as the Chair.

To address the material weaknesses identified, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

As part of the implementation strategy for the expansion of the Company we have engaged a third-party firm to assist us with the development of any additional systems required. We intend to remedy our material weakness with regard to insufficient segregation of duties by hiring additional employees as funding becomes available to implement the business plan in order to segregate duties in a manner that establishes effective internal controls. All such required remedies are dependent on having the financial resources available to complete them.

This Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Changes in internal controls.

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, the year ended June 30, 2018, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
