Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Nature of Operations

Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “EEG”) was formed in the State of Nevada on July 22, 2008 under the name Virtual Closet, Inc., before changing its name to DK Sinopharma, Inc. on June 6, 2010 and then to, Vgambling, Inc. on August 12, 2014. On or about April 24, 2017, Vgambling, Inc. changed its name to Esports Entertainment Group, Inc.

The Company is a diversified operator of iGaming, traditional sports betting and esports businesses with a global footprint. The Company’s strategy is to build and acquire iGaming and traditional sports betting platforms and use them to grow the esports business whereby customers have access to online tournaments and player-versus-player wagering. On July 31, 2020, the Company commenced revenue generating operations with the acquisition of LHE Enterprises Limited, holding company for Argyll Entertainment (“Argyll”), an online sportsbook and casino operator. On January 21, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of Phoenix Games Network Limited, the holding company for the Esports Gaming League (“EGL”), and provider of event management and team services, including live and online events and tournaments. On March 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of the operating assets and specified liabilities that comprise the online gaming operations of Lucky Dino Gaming Limited, a company registered in Malta, and Hiidenkivi Estonia OU, its wholly owned subsidiary registered in Estonia (collectively referred to as “Lucky Dino”).

On June 1, 2021, the Company acquired ggCircuit, LLC (“GGC”) and Helix Holdings, LLC (“Helix”). GGC is a business-to-business software company that provides cloud-based management for gaming centers, a tournament platform and integrated wallet and point-of-sale solutions. Helix operated esports centers that provided esports programming and gaming infrastructure. The Helix game center assets in Foxboro, MA and North Bergen, NJ, herein referred to as the “Helix Game Centers” were sold on June 10, 2022. EEG Labs, the analytics platform, and the yet to be released proprietary player-versus-player wagering platform Betground from the Helix acquisition were retained. On July 13, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of the online casino and sports book business operating under the brand of Bethard (referred to herein as “Bethard”).

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. The unaudited condensed consolidated 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, 2022. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reportable Segments

The Company operates two complementary business segments:

EEG iGaming

EEG iGaming includes the Company’s iGaming casino and sportsbook product offerings. Currently, the Company operates the business to consumer segment primarily in Europe.

EEG Games

EEG Games delivers esports entertainment experiences to gamers through a combination of 1) the Company’s proprietary infrastructure software, GGC, which underpins our focus on esports and is a leading provider of local area network (“LAN”) center management software and services, enabling us to seamlessly manage mission critical functions such as game licensing and payments, 2) online tournaments (through the Company’s EGL tournament platform), and 3) player-vs-player wagering (through our yet to be released Betground, our proprietary wagering product). Currently, we operate our esports EEG Games business in the United States and Europe.

These segments consider the organizational structure of the Company and the nature of financial information available and reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the valuation and accounting for equity awards related to warrants and stock-based compensation, determination of fair value for derivative instruments, the valuation and recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, the accounting for business combinations, including estimating contingent consideration and allocating purchase price, estimating fair value of intangible assets, as well as the estimates related to accruals and contingencies.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation one year after the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

The Company has determined that certain factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a least one year from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. One such factor considered by the Company is its compliance with certain debt covenants under terms of the Senior Convertible Note (the “Senior Convertible Note”), issued by the Company on February 22, 2022 in the principal amount of $35,000,000 with a September 30, 2022 outstanding carrying value of $32,221,573. The Company has not maintained compliance with certain debt covenants and is currently in default under the terms of the Senior Convertible Note. The Company repaid principal of $2,778,427 during the three months ended September 30, 2022, using proceeds from the September 2022 equity financing (“September 2022 Offering”). The maturity date of the Senior Convertible Note is June 2, 2023. The Senior Convertible Note is classified as a current liability on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and due to the default it may be redeemed by the holder thereof (the “Holder”) prior to its maturity date. The Company has also recorded a derivative liability for the alternate conversion in the Senior Convertible Note of $9,124,756 in current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet that may be due to the Holder as part of the make-whole liability under the default terms of the Senior Convertible Note. The cash liability calculated under the terms of the Senior Convertible Note of approximately $606,000,000, is materially higher than the fair value of the derivative liability of $9,124,756 calculated at September 30, 2022. The calculated make-whole liability may differ materially from the amount at which the Company may be required to pay under the Senior Convertible Note. The Company has held non-binding discussions with the Holder to restructure its obligation under the Senior Convertible Note. However, there can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to reach an agreement to restructure the Senior Convertible Note. See Note 11 for additional information regarding the Senior Convertible Note, and the potential effects on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition to compliance with debt covenants, the Company considered that it had an accumulated deficit of $153,309,017 as of September 30, 2022 and that in recent years it has had a history of recurring losses from operations and recurring negative cash flows from operations as it has prepared to grow its esports business through acquisition and new venture opportunities. At September 30, 2022, the Company had total current assets of $10,229,398 and total current liabilities of $62,523,660. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $4,594,854, which includes a net loss of $4,168,591. The Company also considered its current liquidity as well as future market and economic conditions that may be deemed outside the control of the Company as it relates to obtaining financing and generating future profits. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $2,982,179 of available cash on-hand and net current liabilities of $52,294,262.

On September 19, 2022 the Company closed an offering (the “September 2022 Offering”) in which it sold (a) 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share and (b) warrants to purchase up to 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (the “September 2022 Offering Warrants”), at an aggregate price of $0.25 per share and accompanying September 2022 Offering Warrant. The gross proceeds to us from the sale of the shares of Common Stock and Warrants before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company was $7,500,000. On the issuance date, the Company also granted an overallotment to the underwriters of the offering for 3,600,000 overallotment warrants (“September 2022 Overallotment Warrants”), at a purchase price of $0.01 per warrant, with an exercise price of $0.25 per warrant (the September 2022 Offering Warrants and September 2022 Overallotment Warrants are collectively referred to as the “September 2022 Warrants”). Total proceeds from the September 2022 Overallotment Warrants were $36,000. The Company remitted to the Holder an amount of $2,265,927 equal to fifty percent (50%) of all net proceeds above $2,000,000 following the payment of 7% in offering fees including underwriting discounts and commissions. In addition, as part of the September 2022 Offering, the Holder purchased $512,500 of securities (2,050,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,050,000 September 2022 Warrants) and the Company paid the Holder an additional $512,500. The proceeds remitted to the Holder of the Senior Convertible Note reduced the principal balance of the Senior Convertible Note on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The net proceeds received by the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company and amounts remitted to the Holder was $4,075,991.

On March 2, 2022 the Company closed an offering (the “March 2022 Offering”) in which it sold 15,000,000 units at $1.00 consisting of one share of Common Stock and one warrant for a total of 15,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $1.00 (the “March 2022 Offering Warrants”). There was also an overallotment option exercised to purchase warrants to purchase an additional 2,250,000 shares of common stock (the “April 2022 Overallotment Warrants”) with an exercise price of $1.00 issued to the underwriters of the offering on April 1, 2022 (the March 2022 Offering Warrants and the April 2022 Overallotment Warrants are collectively referred to as the “March 2022 Warrants”). The March 2022 Offering provided net cash proceeds of $13,605,000.

The amount of available cash on hand on November 11, 2022, one business day preceding this filing, was $1,134,097.

The Company believes that its current level of cash and cash equivalents are not sufficient to fund its operations and obligations without additional financing. Although the Company has financing available, as further described below, the ability to raise financing using these sources is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, performance, and investor sentiment as it relates to the Company and the esports and iGaming industry. The combination of these conditions was determined to raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In determining whether the Company can overcome the presumption of substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, the Company may consider the effects of any mitigating plans for additional sources of financing. The Company identified additional financing sources it believes, depending on market conditions, may be available to fund its operations and drive future growth, which include (i) the potential proceeds from the exercise of the 33,600,000 September 2022 Warrants, exercisable at $0.25, outstanding at September 30, 2022, (ii) the potential proceeds from the exercise of the 17,250,000 March 2022 Warrants, exercisable at $1.00, outstanding at September 30, 2022, (iii) the ability to sell shares of Common Stock of the Company through various forms of offerings, and (iv) the ability to raise additional financing from other sources. The Company is also continuing discussions with the Holder to restructure the payment terms and debt covenants.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $3,838,549, which related to $6,854,418 proceeds from the issuance of 30,000,000 units, each consisting of one share of Common Stock and one September 2022 Offering Warrant, as part of the September 2022 Offering, offset by the repayments of part of the senior convertible note principal of $2,778,427, repayments of notes payable and finance lease for $36,814 and the payments of the dividends on the 10% Series A cumulative redeemable convertible preferred stock of $200,628.

These above plans are likely to require the Company to place reliance on several factors, including favorable market conditions, to access additional capital in the future. These plans were therefore determined not to be sufficient to overcome the presumption of substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

COVID-19

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged in December 2019 and has since adversely impacted global commercial activity, disrupted supply chains and contributed to significant volatility in financial markets.

The Company has previously indicated that a significant or prolonged decrease in consumer spending on entertainment or leisure activities may have an adverse effect on demand for the Company’s product offerings, including in-person access to game centers and tournaments, reducing cash flows and revenues, and thereby materially harming the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on other areas of the business will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and may result in an extended period of continued business disruption and reduced operations. A materially disruptive resurgence of COVID-19 cases or the emergence of additional variants or strains of COVID-19 could cause other widespread or more severe impacts depending on where infection rates are highest. Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company will continue to monitor developments relating to disruptions and uncertainties caused by COVID-19.

Nasdaq Continued Listing Rules or Standards

On April 11, 2022, the Company received a deficiency notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the bid price for the Company’s Common Stock had closed below $1.00 per share for the previous thirty consecutive business days.

On June 7, 2022, the Company received a further letter from the Nasdaq notifying the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the minimum of $35 million required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2).

On October 11, 2022 the Company received a third letter from Nasdaq that the Company’s Common Stock will be delisted, and the Company’s Common Stock warrants traded under the symbols GMBLW and GMBLZ and the Company’s 10% Series A cumulative redeemable convertible preferred stock traded under symbol GMBLP will no longer qualify for listing, and in that regard trading of the Company’s Common Stock, Common Stock warrants and 10% Series A cumulative redeemable convertible preferred stock will be suspended. The Company requested an appeal and under the Nasdaq rules, while any appeal is pending, the suspension of trading of the Company’s Common Stock, warrants and 10% Series A cumulative redeemable convertible preferred stock will be stayed and will continue to trade on Nasdaq until the Nasdaq hearing panel makes a determination after the hearing. The hearing is scheduled for November 17, 2022. As part of the compliance plan the Company is negotiating with the Holder to restructure the Senior Convertible Note, including the derivative liability. All listing deficiencies will be considered as part of the Company’s compliance plan.

While the Company is exercising diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing standards, or that it will not be delisted.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company did not have any financial instruments classified as cash equivalents. At times, cash deposits inclusive of restricted cash may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits. Accounts are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per financial institution. There have been no losses recognized on cash balances held at these financial institutions.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes cash reserves maintained for compliance with gaming regulations that require adequate liquidity to satisfy the Company’s liabilities to customers.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is comprised of the amounts billed to customers principally for esports events and team management services. Accounts receivable is recorded net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations for its customers and determines the amount of the allowance for credit losses upon considering such factors as historical losses, known disputes or collectability issues, the age of a receivable balance as well as current economic conditions. Bad debt expense is recorded to maintain the allowance for credit losses at an appropriate level and changes in the allowance for credit losses are included in general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. At September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the allowance for credit losses was not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Receivables Reserved for Users

User deposit receivables are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect from a payment processor. A user initiates a deposit with a payment processor, and the payment processor remits the deposit to the Company. The amount due from the payment processor is recorded as a receivable reserved for users on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. An allowance for doubtful accounts may be established if it is determined that the Company is unable to collect a receivable from a payment processor. An increase to the allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized as a loss within general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The allowance for doubtful accounts is not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company capitalizes the direct cost of equipment as well as expenditures related to improvements and betterments that add to the productive capacity or useful life of the equipment. Depreciation is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, or for leasehold improvements, the shorter of the initial lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. The estimated useful life of equipment by asset class follows:

Schedule of Estimated Useful Life of Asset 

The estimated useful life and residual value of equipment are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The costs and accumulated depreciation of assets that are sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized as a gain or loss on sale or disposition of assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Digital Assets

Digital assets for the period ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended June 30, 2022 comprised of Ethereum Classic cryptocurrency (“Ethereum Classic” or “ETC)” and Ethereum cryptocurrency (“Ethereum” or “ETH)”, respectively. The digital assets are included in current assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The classification of digital assets as a current asset has been made after the Company’s consideration of the consistent daily trading volume on cryptocurrency exchange markets. There are no limitations or restrictions on the Company’s ability to sell digital assets. Digital assets purchased are recorded at cost and cryptocurrencies awarded to the Company through its mining activities are accounted for in connection with the Company’s revenue recognition policy disclosed below.

Digital assets held are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is measured using the quoted price of the digital asset at the time its fair value is being measured. In testing for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not that an impairment exists, a quantitative impairment test is not necessary. If the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test. To the extent an impairment loss is recognized, the loss establishes the new cost basis of the asset. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. Impairment losses of the Company’s digital assets were not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

The Company accounts for its gains or losses in accordance with the first in first out (FIFO) method of accounting. The Company generally liquidates its digital assets position monthly, or more frequently depending upon the market conditions. The Company’s recognized realized gains through the sale and disbursement of digital assets during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and the amounts were not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company held no digital assets.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company records the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and acquisition-related contingent consideration at fair value on the date of acquisition. The difference between the purchase price, including any contingent consideration, and the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The Company may adjust the preliminary purchase price and purchase price allocation, as necessary, during the measurement period of up to one year after the acquisition closing date as it obtains more information as to facts and circumstances that impact the determination of fair value at the acquisition date. Any change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration resulting from events after the acquisition date is recognized in earnings. Acquisition-related costs are recognized separately from the acquisition and are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of fair value of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but rather it is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis on April 1 for each fiscal year, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate that more likely than not the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. A reporting unit represents an operating segment or a component of an operating segment. In accordance with ASC Topic 350 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, as of September 30, 2022 the Company’s business is classified into four reporting units: iGaming Malta (including Bethard and Lucky Dino), iGaming Argyll (UK), EGL, and GGC. The Helix business was sold as of June 10, 2022 and was previously its own reporting unit.

In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option to begin with a qualitative assessment, commonly referred to as “Step 0,” to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit containing goodwill is less than its carrying value. This qualitative assessment may include, but is not limited to, reviewing factors such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, entity-specific financial performance and other events, including changes in the Company’s management, strategy and primary user base. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company then performs a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis by comparing the carrying amount to the fair value of the reporting unit. If it is determined that the fair value is less than its carrying amount, the excess of the goodwill carrying amount over the implied fair value is recognized as an impairment loss in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment. The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis, referred to as an income approach, and uses internal and market multiples, to assess reasonableness of assumptions, to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting units. For the income approach, significant judgments and assumptions including anticipated revenue growth rates, discount rates, gross margins, operating expenses, working capital needs and capital expenditures are inherent in the fair value estimates, which are based on the Company’s operating and capital forecasts. As a result, actual results may differ from the estimates utilized in the income approach. The use of alternate judgments and/or assumptions could result in a fair value that differs from the Company’s estimate and could result in the recognition of additional impairment charges in the financial statements. As a test for reasonableness, the Company also considers the combined fair values of the Company’s reporting units to a reasonable market capitalization of the Company. The Company may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment for some or all reporting units and perform a quantitative impairment test.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets with determinable lives consist of player relationships, developed technology and software, tradenames and gaming licenses. Intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years for player relationships and developed technology and software, 10 years for tradenames and 2 years for gaming licenses. The Company also capitalizes internal-use software costs such as external consulting fees, payroll and payroll-related costs and stock-based compensation for employees in the Company’s development and information technology groups who are directly associated with, and who devote time to, the Company’s internal-use software projects. Capitalization begins when the planning stage is complete and the Company commits resources to the software project and continues during the application development stage. Capitalization ceases when the software has been tested and is ready for its intended use. Costs incurred during the planning, training and post-implementation stages of the software development life cycle are expensed as incurred. The Company may also hold indefinite-lived intangible assets in the form of digital assets as discussed above in Digital Assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Equipment and other long-lived assets, including finite lived intangibles, are evaluated for impairment periodically or when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If an evaluation is required, an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows are determined through estimated disposition date of the asset. To the extent that estimated future undiscounted net cash flows attributable to the asset are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the carrying value of such asset and its fair value, considering external market participant assumptions. An estimation of future cash flows requires significant judgment as the Company makes assumptions about future results and market conditions. Since the determination of future cash flows is an estimate of future performance, there may be impairments recognized in future periods in the event future cash flows do not meet expectations.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company determined that there was no impairment on its long-lived assets.

Liabilities to Customers

The Company records liabilities to customers, also referred to as player liabilities, for the amounts that may be withdrawn by a player at a given time. The player liabilities include player deposits, bonuses or incentive awards and user winnings less withdrawals, tax withholdings and player losses. The Company maintains a restricted cash balance and player deposits held by third parties, recorded as receivables reserved for users on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, at levels equal to or exceeding its liabilities to customers.

Jackpot Provision

The jackpot provision liability is an estimate of the amount due to players for jackpot winnings. The jackpot liability is accrued monthly based on an estimate of the jackpot amount available for winning. The jackpot increases with each bet on a jackpot eligible iGaming casino machine and a portion of each losing bet is allocated towards the funding of the jackpot amount. Jackpots are programmed to be paid out randomly across certain casino brands. When a player wins a jackpot, the amount of the jackpot is reset to a defined amount that varies across eligible iGaming casino machines. Participating iGaming casino machines of the Company pool into the same jackpot and therefore the winning of a jackpot affects other players on the network of participating iGaming casino machines. Jackpot winnings reduce revenue at the time the entity has the obligation to pay the jackpot, which occurs when the jackpot is won by the player.

Leases

The Company leases office space through operating lease agreements that were a result of its acquisitions of Argyll and Lucky Dino. The Company previously leased game center space, other property and equipment, acquired through the Helix acquisition, that was sold as part of the Helix sale transaction on June 10, 2022, where the purchaser assumed the lease liabilities. The Company measures an operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and liability, as well as a finance lease asset and liability, based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Minimum lease payments include the fixed lease and non-lease components of the agreement, as well as any variable rent payments that depend on an index, initially measured using the index at the lease commencement date.

The minimum payments under operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Operating lease expenses related to variable lease payments are recognized as operating expenses in a manner consistent with the nature of the underlying lease and as the events, activities, or circumstances in the lease agreement occur. Leases with a term of less than 12 months (“short-term leases”) are not recognized on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The rent expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and included in general and administrative expense on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or in the Company’s tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between U.S. GAAP treatment and tax treatment of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent it believes, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income tax expense. Potential for recovery of deferred tax assets is evaluated by considering taxable income in carryback years, existing taxable temporary differences, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and estimated future taxable profits.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements by applying a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination by the taxing authorities. If the tax position is deemed more-likely-than-not to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The provision for income taxes includes the effects of any resulting tax reserves, or unrecognized tax benefits, that are considered appropriate, as well as the related net interest and penalties.

Derivative Instruments

The Company evaluates its convertible notes, equity instruments and warrants, to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives (Note 11). The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is recorded at fair value each reporting period and recorded as a liability (Note 16) in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as other income or expense (Note 16).

In circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to a liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current to correspond with its host instrument. The Company records the fair value of the remaining embedded derivative at each balance sheet date and records the change in the fair value of the remaining embedded derivative as other income or expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the third is considered unobservable:

Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company adjusts contingent consideration resulting from a business combination, derivative financial instruments and warrant liabilities, to fair value on a recurring basis. Certain long-lived assets may be periodically required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including long-lived assets that are impaired. The fair values for other assets and liabilities such as cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, receivables reserved for users, other receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and liabilities to customers have been determined to approximate their carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments. The fair values of the Senior Convertible Note and lease liabilities approximate their carrying value based on current interest and discount rates.

Earnings Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, basic income (loss) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares had been issued if such additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted income (loss) per share includes the effect of potential common shares, such as the Company’s preferred stock, notes, warrants and stock options, to the extent the effect is dilutive. As the Company had net losses for all the periods presented, basic and diluted loss per share are the same, and additional potential common shares have been excluded, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The following securities were excluded from weighted average diluted common shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 because their inclusion would have been antidilutive:

Schedule of Weighted Average Diluted Common Shares Outstanding 

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss consists of the net loss for the year and foreign currency translation adjustments related to the effect of foreign exchange on the value of assets and liabilities. The net translation loss for the year is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock-based compensation to employees, directors, contractors and consultants for services rendered. Stock-based compensation granted to employees and non-employee directors includes grants of restricted stock and employee stock options that are measured and recognized based on their fair values determined on the grant date. The award of restricted stock and stock options, which are generally time vested, are measured at the grant date fair value and charged to earnings on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which is affected by several variables, including the risk-free interest rate, the expected dividend yield, the expected life of the equity award, the exercise price of the stock option as compared to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the grant date, and the estimated volatility of the Common Stock over the term of the equity award. The fair value of restricted stock is determined by the closing market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. The compensation cost for service-based stock options granted to consultants is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (the vesting period of the award).

Revenue and Cost Recognition

The revenue of the Company is currently generated from online casino and sports betting (referred to herein as “EEG iGaming revenue”), and esports revenue (referred to herein as “EEG Games Revenue”), consisting of the sales of subscriptions to access cloud-based software used by independent operators of game centers, from consulting and data analytic services provided to game operators (“EEG Games Esports and Other Revenue”), and from the provision of esports event and team management services (“EEG Games Esports Event Management and Team Service Revenue”). The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) when control of a product or service is transferred to a customer. The amount of revenue is measured at the transaction price, or the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring a promised good or service. The transaction price includes estimates of variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur.

Revenue generating activities of the Company may be subject to value added tax (“VAT”) in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Revenue is presented net of VAT in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. VAT receivables and VAT payables are included in other receivables and accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Sales to customers do not have significant financing components or payment terms greater than 12 months.

EEG iGaming Revenue

EEG iGaming revenue is derived from the placement of bets by end-users, also referred to as customers, through online gaming sites. The transaction price in an iGaming contract, or Net Gaming Revenue (“NGR”), is the difference between gaming wins and losses, as further reduced by any nondiscretionary incentives awarded to the customer. Gaming transactions involve four performance obligations, namely the settlement of each individual bet, the honoring of discretionary incentives available to the customer through loyalty reward programs, the award of free spin and deposit match bonuses, and the winning of a casino jackpot. The total amount wagered by a customer is commonly referred to as the win or Gross Gaming Revenue (“GGR”). The GGR is allocated to each performance obligation using the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) determined for iGaming contracts.

Revenue recognition for individual wagers is recognized when the gaming occurs, as such gaming activities are settled immediately. The revenue allocated to incentives, such as loyalty points offered through a rewards program, is deferred and recognized as revenue when the loyalty points are redeemed. Revenue allocated to free spins and deposit matches, referred to as bonuses, are recognized at the time that they are wagered. The revenue for jackpot games is recognized when the jackpot is won by the customer. The Company applies a practical expedient by accounting for its performance obligations on a portfolio basis as iGaming contracts have similar characteristics. The Company expects the application of the revenue recognition guidance to a portfolio of iGaming contracts will not materially differ from the application of the revenue recognition guidance on an individual contract basis.

The Company evaluates bets that its users place on websites owned by third party brands in order to determine whether it may recognize revenue on a gross basis, when acting as the principal provider of the wagering service, or on a net basis, when acting as an intermediary or agent. The principal in a wagering service involving a third party is generally the entity that controls the wagering service such that it has a right to the services being performed by the third party and can direct the third party in delivery of the service to its users. The Company records revenue on a gross basis as it has determined it is the principal in transactions involving third parties, such as revenue sharing arrangements, as it controls the wagering service being offered to the users such that it has a right to the service performed by third parties and can further direct third parties in providing services to users. The Company further records expenses related to its revenue sharing arrangements and other third-party iGaming expenses within costs of revenue in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

EEG Games Revenue

EEG Games Esports and Other Revenue

The Company derives revenue from sales of subscriptions to access cloud-based software used by independent operators of game centers, as well as from consulting and data analytic services provided to game operators. The revenue derived from the sale of subscription services to cloud-based software used by game centers is recognized over the term of the contract, which generally can range from one month to one year in duration, beginning on the date the customer is provided access to the Company’s hosted software platform. The revenue from the operation of game centers by the Company is recognized when a customer purchased time to use the esports gaming equipment at each center. The revenue from time purchased by a customer and from the sale of concessions is recognized at the point of sale.

The software subscriptions also allow for game center operators to enable their equipment to mine cryptocurrency when gaming stations are not in use by the end user. The software allows the participating game center operators to contribute their computer power for the purpose of adding a block to the blockchain within a mining pool where the Company and the participating game center operators are participants. The Company’s software enables the participating game center operators to enter into mining pools with mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool to mine cryptocurrency digital assets. The Company and the participating game center operators are entitled to a fractional share of the fixed cryptocurrency digital asset award the mining pool operator receives (less transaction fees to the mining pool operator) for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The Company and participating game center operators’ fractional share is based on the proportion of computing power contributed to the mining pool operator to the total computing power contributed by all mining pool participants in solving the current algorithm. A digital asset award is received by the Company from the mining pool, in the form of crypto currency (i.e., Ethereum), for successfully adding a block to the blockchain. The Company records a payable for the amount due to each participating game center operator, in the form of U.S. dollars, based on the participating game center operators’ computing power contributed toward the mining of the award less a fee charged by the Company. The amounts due to the participating game center operators are paid in U.S. dollars. The Company recognizes the fair value of the digital awards, net of fees and amounts payable to the game center operators, as revenue at the time the digital award is added to the blockchain using the price of the digital coin quoted in U.S. dollars. The transaction consideration of the digital award the Company receives, if any, is non-cash consideration. The Company records revenue on a net basis as it has determined it is the agent in the transactions with the mining pool and facilitates the provision of the computing power and payments for the participating game center operators. The transaction consideration for the mining of cryptocurrency is variable consideration as it is based on the number of blocks added to the blockchain and the amount of the digital asset received from the mining pool. Because it is not probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur, the consideration is constrained until the mining pool operator successfully places a block and the Company receives confirmation of the consideration it will receive, at which time revenue is recognized. There is currently no specific definitive guidance under U.S. GAAP or an alternative accounting framework for the accounting for digital assets recognized as revenue or held, and management has exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate accounting treatment. In the event authoritative guidance is enacted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the Company may be required to change its policies, which could impact the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position and results from operations.

The Company further provides consultation services related to the use of hardware and equipment for gaming operations together with implementation services that include sourcing, training, planning, and installation of technology. The Company considers services related to hardware and equipment, implementation, and any design of user interface for the customer as separate performance obligations. Revenue for hardware equipment and design of custom user interface is recognized at a point in time upon delivery and completion. Implementation services are recognized over time, as services are performed.

The Company also has contracts with software companies to provide talent data analytics and related esports services, which include analytic development, other related services to develop software and applications for tournaments, and to provide data support, data gathering, gameplay analysis and reporting which includes talent analytics and related esports services, including analytic development, data analysis, survey design, interview services, player dossiers, and expert services. The Company recognizes revenue from its data analytic services over the life of the contract utilizing the output method, using a direct measurement of the value to the customer of the goods or services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contact. The Company elected to use the right to invoice practical expedient and recognize revenue based on the amounts invoiced. The payment terms and conditions vary by contract; however, the Company’s terms generally require payment within 30 to 60 days from the invoice date.

The Company has partnership contracts with strategic customers within the esports industry. The partnership contracts are negotiated agreements, which contain both licensing arrangements of intellectual property and development services, including fixed and variable components. The variability of revenue is driven by development plans and results of sales as specified by the partnership contract, which are known as of an invoice date. Partnership contracts generally do not have terms that extend beyond one year. The Company considers licensing arrangements and development services as separate performance obligations. Licensing revenues are recorded over time. Revenue associated with development is recognized over time, as labor is incurred.

Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price basis unless the transaction price is variable and meets the criteria to be allocated entirely to a performance obligation or to a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling price based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account the Company’s overall pricing objectives, considering market conditions and other factors, including the value of the deliverables in the contracts, customer demographics, geographic locations, and the number and types of users within the contracts.

EEG Games Esports Event Management and Team Service Revenue

The Company derives revenue from esports event management and team services. Esports event management services support the creation, production and delivery of an esports event by providing event staffing, gaming consoles, and other technical goods and services for a customer event that is either hosted live in person or online. The revenue generated from esports event management services is generally earned on a fixed fee basis per event.

The esports team services offerings of the Company include recruitment and management services offered to sports clubs to facilitate their entrance into esports tournament competition. Team services provided to a customer may include player recruitment, administration of player contracts, processing of tournament admission, providing logistical arrangements, as well as providing ongoing support to the team during the event. Team services are earned on a fixed fee basis per tournament.

Esports event management and team services revenues are recognized over the term of the event or the relevant contractual term for services as this method best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue for event management services based on the number of days completed for the event relative to the total days of the event. Revenue from team management services is recognized from inception of the contract through the end of the tournament using the number of days completed relative to the total number of days in the contract term. Revenue collected in advance of the event management or team services is recorded as deferred revenue on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company may also enter into profit sharing arrangements which are determined based on the net revenue earned by the customer for an event in addition to a fixed fee. Revenue recognition for profit sharing arrangements is recognized at the time the revenue from the event is determined, which is generally at the conclusion of the event. An event or team services contract may further require the Company to distribute payments to event or tournament attendees resulting in the recognition of a processing fee by the Company. The Company does not recognize revenue from the processing of payments until the conclusion of the event or tournament.

The Company evaluates the service being provided under an esports event and team services contract to determine whether it should recognize revenue on a gross basis as the principal provider of the service, or on a net basis in a manner similar to that of an agent. The Company has determined that for esports event and team services contracts that allow for the assignment of individual tasks to a third-party contractor, the Company acts as the principal provider of the service being offered to the customer as it remains primarily responsible for fulfilling the contractual promise to the customer. In profit sharing arrangements, such as events that allow for the Company to share in the revenue earned by a customer for an event, the Company has determined it acts in the role of an agent to the customer as the event creator. The Company has also determined it acts as an agent when it collects a processing fee for performing the service of distributing prize money on behalf of its customers to event or tournament winners.

Contract Liabilities

Liabilities to customers include both player liabilities, consisting of a free spin bonus and a deposit match bonus, and the player reward liabilities. The free spin bonus provides the user the opportunity to a free play, or otherwise spin, on an iGaming casino slot machine without withdrawing a bet amount from the player’s account. The deposit match bonus matches a player’s deposit up to a certain specified percentage or amount. These bonuses represent consideration payable to a customer and therefore are treated as a reduction of the transaction price in determining NGR. The Company also offers non-discretionary loyalty rewards points to customers that can be redeemed for free play or cash. The Company allocates revenue from wagers to loyalty points rewards earned by users, thereby deferring a portion of revenue from users that participate in a loyalty reward program. The amount of revenue deferred related to loyalty points available to users is based on the estimated fair value of the loyalty point incentive available to the user.

The Company also records payments received in advance of performance under an esports gaming services contract or event management or team services contract as deferred revenue.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The standard clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. An entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. The guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this standard as of July 1, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This standard eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted EPS computation. For public business entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years using the fully retrospective or modified retrospective method. The Company adopted this standard as of July 1, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 606. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and it does not expect the guidance to have a material effect on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments included in ASU 2016-13 require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Although the new standard, known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, has a greater impact on financial institutions, most other organizations with financial instruments or other assets (trade receivables, contract assets, lease receivables, financial guarantees, loans and loan commitments, and held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities) are subject to the CECL model and will need to use forward-looking information to better evaluate their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 was originally effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. In November of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which delayed the implementation of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years for smaller reporting companies. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that the Company adopts as of the specified effective date. The Company does not believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

As part of the September 2022 Offering (Note 15), the Company remitted to the Holder an amount of $2,778,427 from the proceeds reducing the Senior Convertible Note principal balance to $32,221,573 as recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 from the $35,000,000 as of June 30, 2022.

The interest rate on the Senior Convertible Note is 8.0% per annum (consistent with the Old Senior Convertible Note), and from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Convertible Note), the interest rate shall automatically be increased to 12.0% per annum. As further described below, the Company was not in compliance with certain debt covenants under the Senior Convertible Note as of September 30, 2022 or subsequently. The Company has been accruing interest expense at a rate of 12% beginning March 31, 2022, the date it was initially not in compliance with certain debt covenants, as compared to using the set rate of 8.0%, and has recorded the additional $700,000 interest accrual for the difference in rates in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022, with $350,000 recorded in interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The maturity date of the Senior Convertible Note is June 2, 2023, subject to extension in certain circumstances, including bankruptcy and outstanding events of default. The Company may redeem the Senior Convertible Note, subject to certain conditions, at a price equal to 100% of the outstanding principal balance outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and unpaid late charges thereon.

The Senior Convertible Note is convertible, at the option of the Holder, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $17.50 per share. The Senior Convertible Note is subject to a most favored nations provision and standard adjustments in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction. If the Company enters into any agreement to issue (or issues) any variable rate securities, the Holder has the additional right to substitute such variable price (or formula) for the conversion price.

If an Event of Default has occurred under the Senior Convertible Note, in addition to the default interest rate discussed above, the Holder may elect to alternatively convert the Senior Convertible Note at the Alternate Conversion Price (as defined in the Senior Convertible Note). In connection with an Event of Default, the Holder may require the Company to redeem in cash any or all of the Senior Convertible Note. The redemption price will equal 106% of the outstanding principal of the Senior Convertible to be redeemed, and accrued and unpaid interest and unpaid late charges thereon, or an amount equal to market value of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock underlying the Senior Convertible Note, as determined in accordance with the Senior Convertible Note, if greater. The Holder will not have the right to convert any portion of a Senior Convertible Note, to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder (together with certain related parties) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. The Holder may from time to time increase this limit to 9.99%, provided that any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after delivery of a notice to the Company of such increase. The Company is currently in default and the Holder has not yet elected to alternatively convert.

In addition, unless approval of the Company’s stockholders as required by the Nasdaq is obtained, the Company is prohibited from issuing any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Senior Convertible Note or otherwise pursuant to the terms of the Senior Convertible Note, if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue without breaching its obligations under the rules and regulations of Nasdaq. Should the Holder convert the principal balance outstanding at September 30, 2022 at the Alternate Conversion Price that is currently available to the Holder, or a portion of the principal balance, the Company may be subject to remit amounts to the Holder materially in excess of the principal balance outstanding through payment of cash. Refer to the Alternate Conversion discussion below for further information of this settlement option available to the Holder.

In connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Senior Convertible Note), the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Senior Convertible Note. The redemption price per share will equal the greatest of (i) 115% of the outstanding principal of the Senior Convertible Note to be redeemed, and accrued and unpaid interest and unpaid late charges thereon, (ii) 115% of the market value of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock underlying the Senior Convertible Note, as determined in accordance with the Senior Convertible Note, and (iii) 115% of the aggregate cash consideration that would have been payable in respect of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock underlying the Senior Convertible Note, as determined in accordance with the Senior Convertible Note.

At any time after the date the Company provides notice to the Holder of the Company incurring additional debt, the Holder will have the right to have the Company redeem all or a portion of the Senior Convertible Note at a redemption price of 100% of the portion of the Senior Convertible Note subject to redemption.

The Senior Convertible Note agreement includes provision that should the Company be in both breach of its debt covenants and its price per common share trade below the conversion floor price of $2.1832 (the “Conversion Floor Price”), the Holder may elect the Alternate Conversion option that includes a make-whole provision payable to the Holder in cash. At March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022 and through the date of issuance of this report, both the Company was in breach of its debt covenants and the price per share of its Common Stock had declined below the Conversion Floor Price. As a result, the make whole provision in the Senior Convertible Note was determined to represent an obligation of the Company under the terms of the Senior Convertible Note. At September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company estimates it would be required to issue up to 14,758,874 and 16,031,513 shares of Common Stock under the Alternate Conversion make whole provision of the Senior Convertible Note, respectively. At September 30, 2022, the Company also estimates the fair value of the derivative liability, which gives effect to the cash amount payable to the Holder under the Alternate Conversion make-whole provisions of the Senior Convertible Note, to be $9,124,756. While the Company records a derivative liability at each reporting period for the amount contingently payable to the Holder under the Alternate Conversion make-whole provision, a strict application of the formula in the Senior Convertible Note indicates the cash liability to the Holder may be materially higher than the derivative liability. A calculation of the cash liability due to the Holder under the Alternate Conversion make-whole provision of the Senior Convertible Note indicated a liability of approximately $606,000,000 at September 30, 2022. The derivative liability amount recognized by the Company for its obligation to the Holder under the Alternate Conversion make-whole provision of the Senior Convertible Note is subject to material fluctuation at each reporting date. The output of the Monte Carlo model that is used to estimate the fair value of the derivative liability will fluctuate based on the Company’s share price, market capitalization, estimated enterprise value, and the Company’s estimate of credit and non-performance risk.

Under the Senior Convertible Note, and consistent with the Old Senior Convertible Note, the Company is subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, and the transfer of assets, among other matters. The Company is also subject to certain financial debt covenants relating to available cash, minimum annual revenues, ratio of debt to market capitalization and minimum cash flow.

The Senior Convertible Note is subject to a most favored nation provision and standard adjustments in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction. If the Company enters into any agreement to issue, or issue any variable rate securities, the Holder of the Senior Convertible Note has the additional right to substitute such variable price (or formula) for the conversion price. If the Holder were to substitute a floor price of $2.1832 (“Conversion Floor Price”) as the variable price, the Company would be required to settle in cash any difference between the market value of the shares subject to conversion at the floor price and the market value of the shares using the variable price, excluding any reference to the floor. The Holder of the Senior Convertible Note also has the right to have the Company redeem all or a portion of the Senior Convertible Note should the Company provide notice of incurring additional debt.

If an Event of Default occurs, the Holder of the Senior Convertible Note has the right to alternate conversion (“Alternate Conversion”) and may elect to convert the Senior Convertible Note, inclusive of a 15% premium payable (“Incremental Premium”) in cash due upon such an acceleration of the applicable principal, at a price (“Alternate Conversion Price”) equal to the greater of the Conversion Floor Price of $2.1832 or a price derived from the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of Alternate Conversion. If the Alternate Conversion were to include the Conversion Floor Price of $2.1832 as the Alternate Conversion Price, the Company would be required to settle in cash any difference between the market value of the shares subject to the Alternate Conversion using the floor price and the market value of the shares using the Alternate Conversion Price, excluding any reference to the floor. The Company is currently in default and the Holder has not yet elected to alternatively convert. See further discussion in make-whole derivative liability below. See Note 16 for further discussion of the fair value determined for the derivative liability.

At September 30, 2022, the Company is in default under the terms of the Senior Convertible Note. The Senior Convertible Note matures in less than 12 months from September 30, 2022, and the Company has continued to recognize its obligation under the Senior Convertible Note as a current liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company has not remitted payment to the Holder of the Senior Convertible Note an amount equal to 30% of the gross proceeds from the March 2022 Offering to be applied as a reduction of principal.

The Old Senior Convertible Note was issued by the Company to the Holder on June 2, 2021 in the principal amount of $35,000,000 with the Company receiving proceeds at issuance of $32,515,000, net of debt issuance costs of $2,485,000. The Old Senior Convertible Note would have matured on June 2, 2023, at which time the Company would have been required to repay the original principal balance and a minimum return (“Premium on Principal”) equal to 6.0% of any outstanding principal. The aggregate principal of the Old Senior Convertible Note repayable at maturity was $37,100,000 and the Old Senior Convertible Note accrued interest at rate of 8% per annum payable in cash monthly. The Old Senior Convertible Note was issued with 2,000,000 Series A Warrants and 2,000,000 Series B Warrants. On the date of issuance, the Company recorded the fair value of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants as a discount to the Old Senior Convertible Note totaling $26,680,000. The debt discount was being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Old Senior Convertible Note using the effective interest method. The obligation resulting from the issuance of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants was determined to qualify for liability classification on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. See below for further discussion of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants. The Old Senior Convertible Note was convertible, at the option of the Holder, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $17.50 per share. The conversion amounts were calculated as the principal balance identified for conversion plus the Premium on Principal. At any time after issuance, the Company had the option, subject to certain conditions, to redeem some or all of outstanding principal, inclusive of any minimum return due to the Holder based on the number of days the principal was outstanding.

Prior to the default, it was previously determined that the Company was not in compliance with the Old Senior Convertible Note covenants at September 30, 2021 and subsequent reporting dates. The Company therefore requested and received a waiver dated October 13, 2021 for (i) any known breaches or potential breaches of financial covenants in effect related to the available cash test and minimum cash flow test through December 25, 2021, (ii) any known breach resulting from the placement of a lien on the outstanding share capital of Prozone Limited, the entity that holds the assets of Bethard, and (iii) any known breach which would result from the Company’s announcement that it would purchase an equity interest in Game Fund Partners Group LLC through the contribution of up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Company requested and received an amendment to the Old Senior Convertible Note wherein the permitted ratio of outstanding debt to market capitalization was increased temporarily from 25% to 35% through December 25, 2021. In consideration for the October 13, 2021 waiver, the Company agreed to permit the conversion of up to $7,500,000 of the original principal balance of the Old Senior Convertible Note at the Alternate Conversion Price into shares of Common Stock, exclusive of the Premium on Principal and 15% premium payable that applies to an Alternate Conversion. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Holder of the Old Senior Convertible Note had converted the full principal amount of $7,500,000 into 2,514,459 shares of Common Stock.

The Company previously obtained a waiver from the Holder of the Old Senior Convertible Note on November 2, 2021 in connection with its announcement to commence an underwritten registered public offering of its 10.0% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 14). In consideration for this waiver, the Company agreed to increase the cash price payable upon a redemption of the Old Senior Convertible Note by the Company to be equal to 10% of the conversion amount, as defined in Old Senior Convertible Note agreement as any unpaid principal, minimum return due to the Holder, and unpaid interest due on such redemption date. The Company agreed to pay the Holder of the Old Senior Convertible Note an amount of $1,500,000 under the terms of a registration rights agreement. The Company recognized the amount payable to the Holder of the Old Senior Convertible Note under the registration rights agreement in other non-operating income (loss), net, in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2022 and the amount remains unpaid and recorded as accounts payable and accrued expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.

During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company had not maintained compliance with certain covenants of the Old Senior Convertible Note, having identified non-compliance with the covenants previously identified at September 30, 2021. The Company obtained a waiver from the compliance with certain covenants, as of December 31, 2021 and through March 30, 2022.

Make-Whole Derivative Liability

The Senior Convertible Note agreement includes provision that should both the Company be in breach of its debt covenants and its price per common share trade below the Conversion Floor Price of $2.1832, the Holder may elect the Alternate Conversion option that includes a make-whole provision payable to the Holder in cash. At September 30, 2022, both the Company was in breach of its debt covenants and the price per share of its Common Stock had declined below the Conversion Floor Price. While the Company previously obtained waivers from the Holder of the Old Senior Convertible Note for breach of covenants, as well as a waiver for breach of covenants through March 30, 2022 under the Senior Convertible Note, the Company was unable to comply with the debt covenants under the Senior Convertible Note or otherwise obtain a debt waiver from March 31, 2022 through the three months ended September 2022 and subsequent to the period end. As a result, the make-whole provision in the Senior Convertible Note agreement was determined to represent an obligation of the Company at September 30, 2022 under the terms of the Senior Convertible Note.

The make-whole provision in the Senior Convertible Note is a derivative liability. The Company’s obligation to make a payment under the make-whole provision was previously assessed as remote with an immaterial fair value. This considered that the Company had obtained debt waivers from the Holder for its breaches of debt covenants. The Company’s historical stock price had also traded at levels significantly in excess of the Conversion Floor Price. At September 30, 2022, the Company has been unable to complete an agreement to restructure the terms and covenants of the Senior Convertible Note. The stock price further continues to trade materially below the Conversion Floor Price and the Company has also been unable to secure a debt waiver. The fair value of the derivative liability at September 30, 2022 was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model. See Note 16 for further discussion of the fair value determined for the derivative liability.

At September 30, 2022, the Company estimates that it would be required to issue up to 14,758,874 shares of Common Stock under the Alternate Conversion provisions of the Senior Convertible Note. The Company further estimated the derivative liability to the holder to be $9,124,756 and $9,399,620 at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively, which is included in the derivative liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and the expense was recorded in the change in fair value of derivative liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The make-whole liability calculated under the terms of the note of approximately $606,000,000 was materially higher than the fair value of $9,124,756 determined as of September 30, 2022 and considers the difference in the market price of the Company’s shares and a floor price of $2.1832 multiplied by a number of shares that is based on the outstanding principal and the market price of the Company’s Common Stock at September 30, 2022. The calculated make-whole liability may differ materially from the amount at which the Company may be required to pay under the Senior Convertible Note. The Company has held non-binding discussions with the Holder to restructure its obligation under the Senior Convertible Note. However, there can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to reach an agreement to restructure the Senior Convertible Note.

Series A and Series B Warrants

On June 2, 2021, the Company issued 2,000,000 Series A Warrants and 2,000,000 Series B Warrants to the holder of the Old Senior Convertible Note. The Exchange Agreement pursuant to which the Old Senior Convertible Note was exchanged for the Senior Convertible Note did not impact the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants previously issued and outstanding. The Series A Warrants may be exercised at any time after issuance for one share of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $17.50. The Series B Warrants may only be exercised to the extent that the indebtedness owing under the Senior Convertible Note is redeemed. As a result, for each share of Common Stock determined to be issuable upon a redemption of principal of the Senior Convertible Note, one Series B Warrant will vest and be eligible for exercise at an exercise price of $17.50. The Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants are callable by the Company should the volume weighted average share price of the Company exceed $32.50 for each of 30 consecutive trading days following the date such warrants become eligible for exercise. The Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants also contain a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% which may be increased up to 9.99%, provided that any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after delivery of a notice to the Company of such increase.

The Company determined the Series A and Series B Warrants should be classified as a liability as the warrants are redeemable for cash in the event of a fundamental transaction, as defined in the Senior Convertible Note, which includes a change in control.

Prior to these amendments coming into effect, in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021, the Company received a communication from the Finnish regulator requesting clarification on its marketing and gaming practices related to its Finnish iGaming operations. The Company responded to the communication in Q3 of fiscal year 2022 and changed its business operations in Finland as of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 as part of its response. Further powers allowing the Finnish regulator to require blocking by payment service providers of overseas operators who are targeting their marketing activities towards Finnish customers are also expected to come into effect in the calendar year starting January 1, 2023. Subsequently, the Finnish regulator has provided a second communication requesting certain changes to the Company’s marketing strategy to Finnish customers. The Company is in the process of responding to the Finnish regulator.

The Company at times may be involved in pending or threatened litigation relating to claims arising from its operations in the normal course of business. Some of these proceedings may result in fines, penalties, judgments or costs being assessed against the Company at some future time.

In determining the appropriate level of specific liabilities, if any, the Company considers a case-by-case evaluation of the underlying data and updates the Company’s evaluation as further information becomes known. Specific liabilities are provided for loss contingencies to the extent the Company concludes that a loss is both probable and estimable. The Company did not have any liabilities recorded for loss contingencies as of September 30, 2022 or June 30, 2022. However, the results of litigation are inherently unpredictable, and the possibility exists that the ultimate resolution of one or more of these matters could result in a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Other than discussed above, the Company is currently not involved in any other litigation that it believes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Note 14 – 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. On November 10, 2021, the Company designated 1,725,000 shares of preferred stock as 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock”), with a par value of $0.001 per share and liquidation value of $11.00. On November 11, 2021, the Company announced that it priced an underwritten public offering of preferred stock as 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock in the first series issuance of preferred stock, of which 800,000 shares were issued at $10 a share on November 16, 2021 for total gross proceeds of $8,000,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated offering expenses. Net proceeds from the sale, after deducting issuance costs totaled $7,265,000.

In addition, under the terms of the underwriting agreement for the public offering of the 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 120,000 shares. On December 10, 2021, there was a partial exercise to purchase 35,950 shares. Net proceeds from the additional sale, after deducting issuance costs, totaled $334,335.

Conversion

Each share of 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price of $17.50 per common share. Subject to earlier conversion or redemption, the 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock matures five years from issuance, or November 15, 2026, at which point the Company must redeem the shares of 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock in cash.

Dividends

Dividends on the 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock accrue daily and are cumulative from the date of issuance. The dividends on the 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock are payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each calendar month, when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, at the rate of 10.0% per annum. In the event the dividends are not paid in cash, the dividends shall continue to accrue at a dividend rate of 10.0%.

Redemption and Liquidation

The 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is also redeemable, at the option of the Board of Directors, in whole or in part, at any time on or after January 1, 2023.

The 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock includes a change of control put option which allows the holders of the 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock to require the Company to repurchase such holders’ shares in cash in an amount equal to the initial purchase price plus accrued dividends.

The 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is contingently redeemable upon certain deemed liquidation events, such as a change in control. Because a deemed liquidation event could constitute a redemption event outside of the Company’s control, all shares of preferred stock have been presented outside of permanent equity in mezzanine equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The instrument is initially recognized at fair value net of issuance costs. The Company reassesses whether the 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is currently redeemable, or probable to become redeemable in the future, as of each reporting date. If the instrument meets either of these criteria, the Company will accrete the carrying value to the redemption value. The 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock has not been adjusted to its redemption amount as of September 30, 2022 because a deemed liquidation event is not considered probable.

The 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is not mandatorily redeemable, but rather is only contingently redeemable, and given that the redemption events are not certain to occur, the shares have not been accounted for as a liability. As the 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is contingently redeemable on events outside of the control of the Company, all shares of 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock have been presented outside of permanent equity in mezzanine equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Voting Rights

The holders of the 10% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, except whenever dividends on any share of any series of preferred stock (“Applicable Preferred Stock”) have not been paid in an aggregate amount equal to four monthly dividends on the shares, the holders of the Applicable Preferred Stock will have the exclusive and special right, voting separately as a class and without regard to series, to elect at an annual meeting of shareholders or special meeting held in place of it one member of the Board of Directors, until all arrearages in dividends and dividends in full for the current monthly period have been paid.

Voting Rights

Schedule of Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

A summary of the changes in Level 3 financial instruments for the three months ended September 30, 2022 is as follows:

Summary of the Changes in Level 3 Financial Instruments 

The September 2022 Warrants were classified as Level 3 as they are plain vanilla warrants and are not callable by the Company (Note 11). The September 2022 Warrants were valued using a Black Scholes valuation model on issuance at September 19, 2022 and for the warrants outstanding at September 30, 2022 with the following assumptions:

 Schedule of Warrants Outstanding Fair Value Assumption 

The March 2022 Warrants were classified as Level 1 as they are publicly traded. They are callable by the Company if certain criteria are met (Note 11). The March 2022 Warrants outstanding at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022 were valued using the following assumptions:

The Series A and Series B Warrants outstanding at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022 are callable by the Company if certain criteria are met (Note 11) and were valued using a Monte Carlo valuation model with the following assumptions:

The value of the derivative liability on the Senior Convertible Note at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022 was valued using a nonperformance risk adjusted Monte Carlo valuation model using total assets less goodwill and an estimate of the Company’s total enterprise value with the following valuation assumptions:

The fair value of a derivative instrument in a liability position includes measures of the Company’s nonperformance risk. Significant changes in nonperformance risk used in the fair value measurement of the derivative liability may result in significant changes to the fair value measurement. The cash liability calculated under the terms of the Senior Convertible Note of approximately $606,000,000 is materially higher than the fair value of the derivative liability of $9,124,756 calculated at September 30, 2022. The calculated make-whole liability may differ materially from the amount the Company may be required to pay under the Senior Convertible Note. The Company has held non-binding discussions with the Holder to restructure its obligation under the Senior Convertible Note. However, there can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to reach an agreement to restructure the Senior Convertible Note.

Schedule of Statement of Operation Derivative Instruments 

Assets Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis

Assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are remeasured when carrying value exceeds fair value. This includes the evaluation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment. The Company’s estimates of fair value required it to use significant unobservable inputs, representative of Level 3 fair value measurements, including numerous assumptions with respect to future circumstances that might directly impact each of the relevant asset groups’ operations in the future and are therefore uncertain. The carrying value of the assets after any impairment approximates fair value.

The Company assesses the carrying amount of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the fair value of goodwill using the income approach. Inputs used to calculate the fair value based on the income approach primarily include estimated future cash flows, discounted at a rate that approximates the cost of capital of a market participant.

The Company uses undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group for equipment and intangible assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, there was no impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets.

The CODM assesses a combination of metrics such as revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the performance of each operating and reportable segment.

The Company has recast previously reported information to conform to the current management view for all prior periods presented. The changes to reportable segments had no impact to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) as its measure of segment profit or loss. The following table highlights the Company’s revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for each reportable segment and reconciles Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis to net loss. Total capital expenditures for the Company were not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

A measure of segment assets and liabilities has not been currently provided to the Company’s CODM and therefore is not shown below. The following tables present the Company’s segment information:
