Note 1 – Nature of Operations

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 operates a licensed online gambling platform focused purely on the esports industry. Utilizing our peer-to-peer wagering system, we offer real money betting exchange style wagering on esports events from around the world in a secure environment. A betting exchange allows players to bet against one another rather than a bookmaker. Players can offer odds to, or request odds from, other players who wish to wager. Where traditional bookmakers risk going head-to-head with gamblers on markets, a betting exchange takes on no risk on the particular outcome of an event. Instead, a betting exchange provides the platform for its customers to match bets against one another and takes a small commission on winnings. Betting exchanges are becoming an increasingly integral part of the global gambling landscape, in many cases enabling customers to obtain better odds, more transparency and an experience that feels intuitively fairer. Further, the platform also facilitates gambling through “pool betting” whereby a group of people, be it a fan base of a team or a player or a group of friends and family, can pay a fixed price into a “pool” and then make a selection on an outcome, related to a tournament or game in esport. After the event has finished, those that selected the winner get an equal share of the pool.

At the current time, under our existing Curacao license, we are able to accept wagers from residents of over 149 jurisdictions including Canada, Japan, Germany and South Africa. We do not accept wagers from United States residents at this time.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

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. 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.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $16,092,617 and a working capital deficiency of $9,504,792. The Company has not generated any revenues during the six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. 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 February 19, 2020. Based on the information above, 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.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read along with the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K of the Company for the annual period ended June 30, 2019. The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended. The consolidated statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Esports Services Antigua Ltd., Vie Esports Services B.V., Esports Services (Malta) Limited and Esports Entertainment (Malta) Ltd. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. In periods of losses, diluted loss per share is computed on the same basis as basic loss per share as the inclusion of any other potential shares outstanding would be anti-dilutive.

The following securities were excluded from weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 because their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as a right-of-use asset with a corresponding lease liability. Lessor accounting under the standard is substantially unchanged. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required. The Company adopted the standard effective July 1, 2019 using the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method, which applies the provisions of the standard at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. The Company adopted all practical expedients and elected the following accounting policies related to this standard:

The package of practical expedients applied to all of its leases, including (i) not reassessing whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) not reassessing the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) not reassessing initial direct costs for any existing leases.

Adoption of this standard did not result in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets or liability as of July 1, 2019. The Company’s accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. The standard did not materially impact operating results or liquidity.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share- based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The guidance was adopted effective July 1, 2019, and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017 the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” which addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. The ASU, among other things, eliminates the need to consider the effects of down round features when analyzing convertible debt, warrants and other financing instruments. On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted this standard, as a result, freestanding equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded conversion options) no longer are accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature.

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

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.

If the Company did not complete a Qualified Offering within six months of the execution date of the transfer agreement, such agreement would become void and the Company and Swiss Interactive would continue to abide by the terms of the existing Betting Gaming Platform Software Agreement entered into with Swiss Interactive Software GmbH on June 12, 2014 (the “Original Software Licensing Agreement”). On November 6, 2019 the Software Transfer Agreement was terminated.

Contingencies

Boustead Securities, LLC (“Boustead”) has notified the Company that it owes Boustead $192,664, as well as warrants to purchase 94,528 shares of common stock of the Company, as compensation for their acting as the placement agent for the sale of Company securities between June 2017 and 2018. Unless this matter is settled, Boustead has notified us that they plan to file an arbitration claim to resolve this dispute. Management believes this claim to be without merit as it is management’s position that Boustead has been paid in full for the services provided and that no further cash or warrants are owed. The JAMS arbitration was originally scheduled for the end of January 2020 and has since been deferred to April 2020.

The Company was notified that a claim was made against the Company for approximately $117,000, as compensation for financing commissions in 2017. It is our position that we have paid Boustead in full for the services it provided to us. We have denied that we owe Boustead any additional cash or warrants and have filed motions to dismiss these claims as well as filed counterclaims against Boustead. We plan to continue to vigorously defend the Company against these claims.

On December 19, 2018, Mr. Bryan Whatley, filed the first amended complaint against the Company (the “Defendant”) in the United States District Court in the District of Nevada for breach of contract in connection with its acting as a finder to assist the Company in finding potential investors. In their complaint, they sought damages in excess of $85,000 plus warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company filed an answer to the first amended complaint denying the existence of a contract between the Company and Mr. Whatley, among other things. Management believes this claim to be without merit as it is management’s position that there was no contract. We plan to continue to vigorously defend the Company against this claim. The deadline for Mr. Whatley to respond to the Company’s answer was April 12, 2019, and no such response was filed. On April 23, 2019, the Company filed a motion to dismiss with the United States District Court of the State of Nevada. On August 27, 2019, an order that the Defendant’s motion to dismiss was granted.

Note 8 – Convertible Debt

$2,200,000 Secured Convertible Note

On November 13, 2018 (the “November 13, 2018 Offering”), the Company issued face value $2,200,000 5% Senior Convertible Notes issued at a 10% original issue discount along with 244,445 warrants for net proceeds of $2,000,000 (the “Notes”). Cash fees paid for financing costs were $336,193. The Notes are secured by all of our assets and accrues interest at 5% per annum, payable in cash at maturity. However, the principal amount may be converted at the option of the holder at any time during the term to maturity into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $9.0 per share subject to adjustment for capital reorganization events and subsequent sales by the Company of shares of its common stock at a price per share below $9.0. The Notes also contain certain traditional default provisions that are linked to credit or interest risks, such as bankruptcy proceedings, liquidation events and corporate existence. The Company has concluded that the Notes contain an embedded conversion option that is indexed to the Company’s stock which contain an optional cash settlement feature. Therefore, the embedded conversion option is subject to classification in the Company’s financial statement in liabilities at fair value both at inception and subsequently pursuant to ASC 815.

In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company issued the holders warrants to purchase our common stock. The warrant is exercisable until November 13, 2021 for 244,445 of shares at a purchase price of $11.25 per share subject to adjustment for capital reorganization events and subsequent sales by the Company of shares of its common stock at a price per share below $11.25. The Company has concluded that the Warrants contain an optional cash settlement feature. Therefore, the Warrants are subject to classification in the Company’s financial statement in liabilities at fair value both at inception and subsequently pursuant to ASC 815.

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

Additionally, the Company issued its placement agents warrants to purchase its common stock. The warrant is exercisable until December 12, 2023 for 48,889 of shares at a purchase price of $11.25 per share subject to adjustment for capital reorganization events and subsequent sales by the Company of shares of its common stock at a price per share below $11.25. The Company has concluded that the Warrants contain an optional cash settlement feature. Therefore, the Warrants are subject to classification in the Company’s financial statement in liabilities at fair value both at inception and subsequently pursuant to ASC 815.

On July 17, 2019, the Company and the investors (the “Investors”) in its November 13, 2018 Offering entered into Waiver Agreements (the “Waiver Agreements”). Pursuant to the terms of the Waiver Agreement, the Investors waived the exercise of remedies with regard to certain breaches of agreements and any and all events of defaults between the Company and the Investors, including the Notes, Warrants, and Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Transaction Documents”).

In consideration for the Investors entrance into the Waiver Agreements, the Company increased the principal amount of each Note issued in the November 13, 2018 Offering by 30%, in the form of an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Amended and Restated Note”). Additionally, for its role as lead investor, facilitator and negotiating the terms of the Waiver Agreement, the Company issued to Cavalry Fund I LP warrants to purchase 3,333 shares of Common Stock exercisable on or after October 1, 2019 for a term of three (3) years from such date at an exercise price of $11.25 per share (the “Cavalry Warrant”).

The Company evaluated the debt modification for the Amended and Restated Note in accordance with ASC 470-50 and concluded that the debt qualified for debt extinguishment as the 10% cash flow test was met. As a result, the $2,200,000 Secured Convertible Note was written off and the Amended and Restated Note was recorded at fair value as of July 17, 2019. On July 17, 2019 the Company wrote off the remaining principal balance of $2,200,000 and recorded the Amended and Restated Note at fair market value in the amount of $4,476,412. On July 17, 2019, of the $4,476,412 fair market value, $2,860,000 represents the face amount of the Amended and Restated Note and $1,616,412 represents the deemed premium paid for the Amended and Restated Note which was recorded as additional debt principal to be amortized over the remaining life of the Amended and Restated Note. The Company accelerated the remaining amortization of the July 17, 2019 premium on November 19, 2019. For the six months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a reduction to amortization expense in the amount of $1,616,412 for the amortization of the deemed premium and a loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $2,795,582.

On November 19, 2019, the Company and the Investors in its November 13, 2018 Offering have agreed to or entered into subsequent Waiver Agreements (the “November Waiver Agreements”). Pursuant to the terms of the November Waiver Agreement, the Investors agreed to waive the exercise of remedies with regard to any and all events of default between the Company and the Investors, in connection with the Transaction Documents and agreed to extend the maturity of their Notes until February 14, 2020. In connection with the November Waiver Agreement, two investors received partial repayment.

In consideration for the Investors entrance into the Waiver Agreements, the Company has agreed to issue to each Investor an additional Warrant (the “Additional Warrant”) to purchase such number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 5% of the Warrant Shares initially issuable to such Investor under the Warrant issued to such Investor in the November 13, 2018 Offering, as amended. The Additional Warrant shall have an exercise price of $11.25 per share and shall be in form substantially the same as the Warrants issued in the November 13, 2018 Offering, provided that no cashless provision, ratchet provision or piggyback registration provisions shall be contained in the Additional Warrants.

The Company evaluated the debt modification for the Amended and Restated Note in accordance with ASC 470-50 and concluded that the debt did not qualify for debt extinguishment as the 10% cash flow test was not met. As a result, the additional warrants issued in connection with the waiver were fair valued and recorded as a debt discount, and are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt. In addition, the Company incurred $50,000 of deferred financing fees in connection with the modification and expensed the fees to interest expense immediately.

These notes matured on February 14th and the Company is in active good faith discussions with the noteholders to extend the maturity date. No defaults have been called.

Pursuant to the August 2019 Purchase Agreements, the Company issued the August Investors those certain convertible promissory notes (the “August Convertible Promissory Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $522,500 (including a 10% original issue discount) and warrants (the “August Investor Warrants”) to purchase 58,057 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $475,000.

The August Convertible Promissory Notes and Q2 Promissory Notes, together and in the aggregate the (“Bridge Notes”) accrue interest at a rate of 5% per annum and are initially convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $9.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Conversion Price”). The Bridge Notes contain a mandatory conversion mechanism whereby unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Bridge Notes, upon the closing of a Qualified Offering (as defined therein) converts into the securities offered in such a Qualified Offering at the lower of (i) the Conversion Price and (ii) 80% of the offering price in the Qualified Offering. The Bridge Notes contain customary events of default (each an “Event of Default”) and mature on August 14, 2020, August 29, 2020, October 16, 2020 and December 6, 2020. If an Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Notes, plus accrued but unpaid interest, liquidated damages and other amounts owing with respect to the Bridge Notes will become, at the holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash at the “Mandatory Default Amount”. The Mandatory Default Amount means the sum of 130% of the outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, including default interest of 18% per year, and all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of the Bridge Notes.

Pursuant to the Bridge Notes, each investor was entitled to 100% warrant coverage, such that investor in the Bridge Notes received the same number of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock as is the number of shares of Common Stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Notes as of the date of issuance. The warrants issued in accordance with the Bridge Notes are exercisable at a price of $11.25 per share, subject to adjustment from the date of issuance through August 14, 2022, August 29, 2022, October 11, 2022 and December 16, 2022.

Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as placement agent for the Offerings and received cash compensation of $85,000 and warrants to purchase 20,778 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial exercise price of $11.25 per share, subject to adjustment (“Agent Warrants”). The Agent Warrants may be exercised on a “cashless” basis and expire in August 14, 2024 and August 29, 2024.

Accounting for the Amended and Restated Notes and Convertible Promissory Notes

The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Notes and Convertible Promissory Notes issued in the private placement offerings under the guidance of ASC 815. Because the economic characteristics and risks of the equity-linked conversion options are clearly and closely related to a debt-type host and the conversion features contain an optional cash settlement, the conversion features require classification and measurement as derivative financial instruments. Further, these features individually were not afforded the exemption normally available to derivatives indexed to a company’s own stock. Accordingly, our evaluation resulted in the conclusion that this compound derivative financial instrument requires bifurcation and liability classification, at fair value. The compound derivative financial instrument consists of an embedded conversion feature. Current standards contemplate that the classification of financial instruments requires evaluation at each report date.

The following tables reflect the allocation of the purchase on the financing dates:

The carrying value of the aggregate secured convertible notes at December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019 was $3,356,054and $290,720, respectively.

Discounts and premiums on the convertible notes arise from (i) the allocation of basis to other instruments issued in the transaction, (ii) fees paid directly to the creditor and (iii) initial recognition at fair value, which is greater than face value. Discounts and premiums are amortized through charges to and reductions to amortization of interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the term of the debt agreement. Amortization of debt discounts amounted to $2,166,670 and amortization of debt premium amounted to $1,616,411, which resulted in expense from net amortization in the amount of $550,259 during the six months ended December 31, 2019. During the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded amortization of debt discount in the amount of $55,621.

Derivative Liabilities

The carrying value of the compound embedded derivative and warrant derivative liabilities are on the balance sheet, with changes in the carrying value being recorded as a change in fair market value of derivative liabilities on the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Fair Value Considerations

GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the tables below, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels:

Level 1 valuations: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 valuations: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 valuations: Significant inputs to valuation model are unobservable.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below and disclosed on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019.

Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below and disclosed on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019.

The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out of all financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the six months ended December 31, 2019:

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

The fair value of the derivative conversion features and warrant liabilities as of December 31, 2019 were calculated using a Monte-Carlo option model valued with the following assumptions:

Changes in the observable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments.

The features embedded in the secured convertible notes and the warrants were valued using a Monte Carlo based valuation model. The Monte Carlo valuation technique was utilized because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including the underlying price, exercise price, term, volatility, and risk-free interest-rate) that are necessary to fair value these instruments. For forward contracts that contingently require net-cash settlement as the principal means of settlement, the Company projects and discounts future cash flows applying probability-weighted to multiple possible outcomes. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Company’s common stock. Because derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the Company’s income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

Overview

Esports is the competitive playing of video games by amateur and professional teams for cash prizes. 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. As of March 20, 2019, the three largest selling esports games are Dota 2, League of Legends (both multiplayer online battle arena games) 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 on the Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox and WII Nintendo systems. 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.

Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (“Esports,” “EEG,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) operates a licensed online gambling platform focused purely on the esports industry. Utilizing our peer-to-peer wagering system, we offer real money betting exchange style wagering on esports events from around the world in a secure environment. A betting exchange allows players to bet against one another rather than a bookmaker. Players can offer odds to, or request odds from, other players who wish to wager. Where traditional bookmakers risk going head-to-head with gamblers on markets, a betting exchange takes on no risk on the particular outcome of an event. Instead, a betting exchange provides the platform for its customers to match bets against one another and takes a small commission on winnings. Betting exchanges are becoming an increasingly integral part of the global gambling landscape, in many cases enabling customers to obtain better odds, more transparency and an experience that feels intuitively fairer. Further, the platform also facilitates gambling through “pool betting” whereby a group of people, be it a fan base of a team or a player or a group of friends and family, can pay a fixed price into a “pool” and then make a selection on an outcome, related to a tournament or game in esport. After the event has finished, those that selected the winner get an equal share of the pool.

At the current time, under our existing Curacao license, we are able to accept wagers from residents of over 149 jurisdictions including Canada, Japan, Germany and South Africa. We do not accept wagers from United States residents at this time. We have applied for an online gaming service license from the Malta Gaming Authority. If our application is approved and a license is issued, we expect that residents in a number of European Union member states will be able to place bets on our website. We are also able to accept payments from additional third party payment providers. Money Matrix, a licensed regulated financial institution and our third party payment platform, updates the jurisdictions we are able to accept bets from on a real time basis as these changes occur.

Although official competitions have long been a part of video game culture, participation and spectatorship of such events have seen a global surge in popularity over the last few years with the rapid growth of online streaming. 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, and by online viewers, which regularly exceed 1,000,000 viewers for major tournaments. Much like how there is a worldwide gaming market for the sports industry, there has now developed a worldwide gaming market for the esports industry. The impact has been so significant that many video game developers are now building features into their games designed to facilitate competition.

According to Newzoo, a global leader in esports, games and mobile intelligence, it is expected that the total global esports audience will reach 453.8 million in 2019. Esports Enthusiasts, which are people who watch professional esports content at least once a month, will make up 201.2 million of the total up from 143.2 million in 2017, with a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) (2017-2022) of +15.7% to reach almost 297 million in 2022. The global average revenue per Esports Enthusiast, which includes not only gaming revenue, but also sponsorships advertising and all other esports related revenues, is projected to be $5.45 in 2019, up +8.9% from $5.00 in 2018. The number of occasional esports viewers, (people who watch professional esports content less than once a month), is expected to reach 252.6 million in 2019, up from 221.6 million in 2018, and is projected to grow with a CAGR of +12.6% to surpass 347 million in 2022. The number of people who are aware of esports worldwide is expected to reach 1.8 billion in 2019, up from 1.6 billion in 2018. China is expected to contribute most to global esports awareness, with 500.2 million people aware of esports in 2019. The increasing prominence 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. We believe the rise of new franchises, such as Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds or PubG, is an important global growth factor as the influx of millennials should continue to drive the growth of the esports industry’s audience and in turn, the esports gaming industry.

In 2018, there were 737 major esports events that generated an estimated $54.7 million in ticket revenues, up from $32 million in 2016, but down from $58.9 million in 2017. The total prize money of all esports events held in 2018 reached $150.8 million, after breaking the $100 million mark for the first time in 2017. The League of Legends World Championship was 2018’s biggest tournament by live viewership hours on Twitch, with 53.8 million hours. It also produced $1.9 million in ticket revenues. The Overwatch League was the most-watched league by live viewership hours on Twitch, generating 79.5 million hours.

According to Statista, the amounts wagered on esports betting is expected to grow from $315 million in 2015 to $23.5 billion in 2020. Forbes magazine projects fans of esports will wager $23 billion on professional esports events by 2020.

We believe that as the size of the market and the number of Esports Enthusiasts continues to grow, so will the number of Esports Enthusiasts who gamble on events, which would likely increase the demand for our platform. 

Going Concern

We have financed operations primarily through the sale of equity securities and short-term debt. Until revenues are sufficient to meet our needs, we will continue to attempt to secure financing through equity or debt securities, including the sale of securities in this offering. We continue to incur negative cash flows from operating activities and net losses. We had minimal cash, negative working capital, and negative total equity as of December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included in this 10-Q do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In order for us to eliminate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, we must achieve profitability, generate positive cash flows from operating activities and obtain the necessary debt or equity funding to meet our projected capital investment requirements. Our management’s plans with respect to this uncertainty consist of raising additional capital by issuing debt or equity securities and increasing the sales of our products and services. If we are successful in completing the offering, we believe the net proceeds of the offering together with anticipated growth of the business will be sufficient to eliminate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to complete the offering, raise sufficient additional capital or that revenues will increase rapidly enough to offset operating losses. If we are unable to increase revenues or obtain additional financing, we will be unable to continue the development of our products and services and may have to cease operations.

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 period ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period last year, are discussed below.

Revenue and Expenses

Our operating expenses are classified into several categories:

Directors Compensation is comprised of cash and stock based compensation paid to the directors of the Company. Directors compensation during the three months ended December 31, 2019 totaled $16,250, an increase of $2,980, compared to $13,270 recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Directors compensation during the six months ended December 31, 2019 totaled $37,767, an increase of $11,226, compared to $26,541 recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The increase in director’s compensation period over period is attributable primarily to the change of the board with the addition of a new independent director in December 2019, and partially offset by a reversal of a previous quarter over accrual.

Consulting fees during the three months ended December 31, 2019 totaled $100,066, an increase of $6,244, compared to $93,822 recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Consulting fees during the six months ended December 31, 2019 totaled $238,275, an decrease of $21,862, compared to $260,137 recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2018 . The decrease in consulting fees period over period is attributable primarily to decreased fees of outside services in connection with platform services, offset by increases in fees to support the preparation of SEC filings combined with consulting costs related to the potential public offering of its securities.

Professional Fees consist primarily of our contracted accounting, legal and audit fees. Professional Fees during the three months ended December 31, 2019 totaled $92,220, an increase of $43,857, compared to $48,363 recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Professional Fees during the six months ended December 31, 2019 totaled $146,700, an increase of $72,343, compared to $74,357 recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2018. This increase in professional fees period over period is attributable primarily to increases in accounting and audit fees for preparation and review of our filings with the SEC

General and Administrative Expenses refers to our salaries, occupancy costs, marketing costs, travel costs, office supplies, telephone expenses, bank charges, fees to process and file documents with the SEC, stock transfer fees, investors relations costs, corporate filing fees with the State of Nevada, and other administrative expenses. General and Administrative Expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2019 totaled $250,291, a decrease of $67,405, compared to $317,696 recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2018. General and Administrative Expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2019 totaled $609,110, a decrease of $248,956, compared to $858,066 recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in General and Administrative Expenses is attributable primarily to the decrease in business development activities combined with the reduced activities in Antigua. 

Stock based compensation refers to shares and stock options issued to employees and consultants as part of the compensation package. Stock based compensation during the three months ended December 31, 2019 totaled $210,051, an increase of $168,421, compared to $41,630 recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Stock based compensation during the six months ended December 31, 2019 totaled $329,960, an increase of $161,501, compared to $168,459 recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The increase in stock based compensation is primarily attributable to the vesting of options issued in prior years, the amortization of stock based compensation recorded for services rendered in the current year and recorded as a prepaid expense in prior year, and for the issuance of common stock issued for services.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Company’s sources and (uses) of cash for the six months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are shown below:

Our projected capital requirements during the next 18 months are as follows:

Our auditor’s report on our June 30, 2019 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.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not required.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

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 December 31, 2019, 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 December 31, 2019, 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 three material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

As a result of the material weaknesses identified above, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2019.

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.

We plan to document our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as of the period ending December 31, 2019. We plan to progressively implement the written policies and procedures commencing in the immediate future.

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.

Changes in internal controls.

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, the six months ended December 31, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions that arise in the normal course of business.

In September 2018, Boustead Securities, LLC (“Boustead”) notified us via letter of a claim that they were owed $192,664, as well as warrants to purchase 94,527 shares of our common stock as compensation for their acting as the placement agent for the sale of our securities between June 2017 and 2018. This matter was then brought to JAMS pursuant to an arbitration clause in the placement agent agreement entered into by the Company and Boustead. It is our position that we have paid Boustead in full for the services it provided to us. We have denied that we owe Boustead any additional cash or warrants and have filed motions to dismiss these claims as well as filed counterclaims against Boustead. We plan to continue to vigorously defend the Company against these claims.

The JAMS arbitration was originally scheduled for the end of January 2020 but has since been postponed until April.

On December 19, 2018, Mr. Bryan Whatley, filed the first amended complaint against the Company in the United States District Court in the District of Nevada for breach of contract in connection with its acting as a finder to assist the Company in finding potential investors. In their complaint, they sought damages in excess of $85,000 plus warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company filed an answer to the first amended complaint denying the existence of a contract between the Company and Mr. Whatley, among other things. Management believes this claim to be without merit as it is management’s position that there was no contract. We plan to continue to vigorously defend the Company against this claim. The deadline for Mr. Whatley to respond to the Company’s answer was April 12, 2019, and no such response was filed. On April 23, 2019, the Company filed a motion to dismiss with the United States District Court of the State of Nevada. On August 27, 2019, an order that the Defendant’s motion to dismiss was granted.

With the exception of the foregoing, we are not involved in any material disputes and do not have any material litigation matters.
