This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (the “Company”), to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may be incorrect, and there can be no assurance that these projections included in these forward-looking statements will come to pass. Actual results of the Company could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Except as required by applicable laws, the Company has no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. You should read the matters described and incorporated by reference in “Risk Factors” and the other cautionary statements made in this Report, and incorporated by reference herein, as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Report. We cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this Report will prove to be accurate and therefore prospective investors are encouraged not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Golden Matrix Group, Inc. And Subsidiary

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Operations

 

Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiary, collectively (“Golden Matrix”, “GMGI” “we”, “our”, “us”, or “Company”) is incorporated and registered in the State of Nevada and operates as an innovative provider of enterprise Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) solutions for online casino operators and online sports betting operators, commonly referred to as iGaming operators.

 

The Company operates in the business-to-business (“B2B”) segment where it develops and owns online gaming intellectual property (IP) and builds configurable and scalable, turn-key, and white-label gaming platforms for international customers, located primarily in the Asia Pacific region.

 

The Company has developed a proprietary Internet gambling enterprise software system that provides for unique casino and live game operations on the platforms that include GM-X System (“GM-X”), Turnkey Solution and White Label Solutions. These platforms are provided to Asia Pacific Internet-based and land-based casino operators as a turnkey technology solution for regulated real money Internet gambling (“RMiG”), Internet sports gaming, and virtual simulated gaming (“SIM”).

 

The GM-X System turn-key solution (including modular, configurable and scalable gaming platforms), is a complete software package for starting an online gaming business, incorporating all the tools and gaming content necessary to run an online Casino and/or Sportsbook and offers a full suite of tools and features for successfully operating and maintaining an online gaming website, from player registration to user management and content management.

 

On May 12, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year from July 31 to January 31, effective immediately. As a result, thereof, the Company has presented information in this Form 10-Q (this “Report”), where applicable, as of July 31, 2021, for the six months ended July 31, 2021, and for the year ended January 31, 2021.

 

On April 27, 2020, we filed a Certificate of Change Pursuant to NRS 78.209 with the Nevada Secretary of State pursuant to which we affected a reverse stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock in a ratio of 1-for-150. As a result of such filing, our authorized shares of common stock decreased from 6 billion to 40 million and our issued and outstanding shares of common stock decreased in a ratio of 1-for-150. All fractional shares of common stock remaining after the reverse split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. Pursuant to Section 78.207(1) of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), shareholder approval was not required for this transaction. The Certificate of Change was effective with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) on June 26, 2020. The effects of the reverse stock split are retroactively reflected throughout this Report.

 

On January 19, 2021, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Global Technology Group Pty Ltd (GTG), an Australian Company. GTG has an Alderney Gambling Control Commission (“AGCC”) license (an AGCC Category 2 Associate Certificate). The government of Alderney offers software service providers in the gambling industry with a gambling license that allows gambling operators to conduct business related to casino, lotto, and other gaming related activities. Alderney has long been recognized as one of the preferred locations for online Gambling operators. Alderney is regarded in the community as one of the strictest licensing jurisdictions with policies aimed at improving transparency and cultivating a good gaming environment.

 

The Company is required to have a recognized business-to-business (B2B) gambling license in order to acquire certain gaming content. Currently the Company is not required to have a gaming license for the resale of its GM-X System or third-party content to operators in the jurisdictions in which it currently conducts business, however as the Company expands its global distribution licensing, regulatory requirements will be required.

Interim Financial Statements

 

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 30, 2021.

 

The results of operations for the six months ended July 31, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2022.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

Business Combination - Common Control Asset Acquisition

 

A common-control transaction is a transfer of net assets or an exchange of equity interests between entities under the control of the same parent. On January 19, 2021, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Global Technology Group Pty Ltd (GTG), an Australian Company, then wholly-owned by Mr. Anthony Brian Goodman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Goodman is also a controlling party of the Company via his stock holding in Luxor Capital, LLC, which has a controlling vote of greater than 50% of the Company. As such the acquisition of GTG was a common control acquisition.

 

The accounting and reporting for a transaction between entities under common control is addressed in the “Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control” subsections of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805-50. ASC 805-50 requires that the receiving entity recognize the net assets received at their historical carrying amounts.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include contingent liability, stock-based compensation, warrant valuation, accrued expenses and collectability of accounts receivable. The Company evaluates its estimates on an on-going basis and bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable. Due to inherent uncertainties, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company currently has no cash equivalents at July 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. As of July 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $168,557 and $168,557, respectively. During the six months ended July 31, 2021, there was no bad debt expense recorded.

Software Development Costs

 

The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application in accordance with guidelines established by “ASC 985-20-25” Accounting for the Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requiring certain software development costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Amortization of the capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release to customers. Capitalized costs are amortized based on the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.

 

Impairment of Intangible Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important, which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

 

 

1.

Significant underperformance compared to historical or projected future operating results;

 

2.

Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

 

3.

Significant negative industry or economic trends.

  

When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives. The Company incurred amortization expense of $24,131 and $0 during the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company currently has two distinctive revenue streams: one is generated via usage of the Company’s software and the other is a royalty charged on the use of third-party gaming content.

 

 

1.

For the usage of the Company’s software, the Company charges gaming operators primarily via Gaming Distributors for the use of its unique IP and technology systems.

 

2.

For the royalty charged on the use of third-party gaming content, the Company acquires the third-party gaming content for a fixed cost and resells the content at a margin.

   

Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, our company recognizes revenues by applying the following steps:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer.

Step 2: Identify the separate performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

For the usage of the Company’s software, the Company provides services to the counterparty which include licensing the use of its unique IP and technology systems. The counterparty pays consideration in exchange for those services which include a variable amount depending on the Software Usage. The Company only recognizes the revenue at the month end when the usage occurs, and the revenue is based on the actual Software Usage of its customers.

 

For the royalty charged on the use of third-party gaming content, the Company acts as a Distributor of the third-party gaming content which is utilized by the client. The counterparty pays consideration in exchange for the gaming content utilized. The Company only recognizes the revenue at the month end when the usage of the gaming content occurs, and the revenue is based on the actual usage of the gaming content.

Earnings Per Common Share

 

Basic net earnings per Common Share are computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per Common Share are determined using the weighted-average number of Common Shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.

 

The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of outstanding convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the if-converted method.

 

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net earnings per share for the periods ended July 31, 2021 and 2020. All shares and per share amounts have been adjusted for the 1-for-150 reverse stock split which took effect in the marketplace on June 26, 2020:

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry-forwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Comprehensive Loss

 

The Company is required to report comprehensive loss, which includes net loss as well as changes in equity from non-owner sources.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but it does provide guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity’s own assumptions (unobservable inputs).

 

The hierarchy consists of three levels:

 

·

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets of liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

  

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivative liabilities and embedded conversion option liabilities.

 

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, intangible assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and customer deposits. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Stock-based compensation expense is recorded as a result of stock options granted in return for services rendered. For the comparative periods, the share-based payment arrangements with employees were accounted for under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, while nonemployee share-based payments issued for goods and services are accounted for under ASC 505-50. ASC 505-50 and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-07.

 

The expenses related to the share-based compensation are recognized on each reporting date. The amount is calculated as the difference between total expenses incurred and the total expenses already recognized.

 

The stock-based compensation of options issued to consultants was recognized as a component of cost of goods sold based on the fact that the stock-based compensation is the direct labor cost associated with running the Company’s GM2 Asset system.

 

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

On June 20, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees.

 

For public business entities (PBEs), the amendments in ASU 2018-07 were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. Early adoption was permitted if financial statements had not yet been issued (for PBEs), but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of ASC 606, which the Company adopted during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019. If early adoption was elected, all amendments in the ASU that apply must have been adopted in the same period. In addition, if early adoption is elected in an interim period, any adjustments were required to be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.

The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 and adjusted the share-based compensation costs during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019. The Company’s management believes the new standard can best represent the Company’s operating results.

 

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

The warrants include a beneficial ownership limitation, which limits the exercise of the warrants held by any individual investor in the event that upon exercise such investor (and any related parties of such investor) would hold more than 4.999% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock (which percentage may be increased to 9.999% with at least 61 days prior written notice to the Company from the investor).

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

From April 26, 2021, to May 7, 2021 (the “Triggering Date”) (ten consecutive trading days), the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock closed at or above $10.00 per share.

Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Lease Commitments:

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under such guidance, lessees are required to recognize all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the balance sheet as a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new standard was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard was adopted using a modified retrospective approach. On June 1, 2021, the Company (through GTG) entered into a three-year term lease agreement for office space which commenced on June 1, 2021. The Company has the option to renew for a period of three years. The rent is $115,265 ($148,902 AUD) per year (subject to a 4% annual increase) plus goods and services tax charged at 10% based on Australian Taxation Law. As of July 31, 2021, the Company recognized $297,763 of operating lease right-of-use asset and $86,649 of current operating lease liability and $211,915 of non-current operating lease liability.

 

Note 12 – Subsequent Events

 

On August 9, 2021, the Company issued 868 shares of restricted common stock to two consultants for services rendered. Each consultant was issued 434 shares.

 

On August 11, 2021, the Company issued 269 shares of restricted common stock for services rendered.

 

On August 25, 2021, the Company first became aware of a default judgment entered against the Company (under its former name Source Gold Corp.), pursuant to an action filed against the Company by NPNC Management LLC (“NPNC”), in the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada (Case No: A-15-716733-C). The action was originally filed on April 9, 2015, with the default judgment originally granted on November 3, 2015, which default judgment was renewed on August 24, 2021. The default judgment is in the amount of $42,485, plus interest at 18% per annum.

 

The Company was unaware of the prior default judgment until August 25, 2021, and has no knowledge of any liability, contracts with, or amounts due to, NPNC. The Company has asked NPNC to provide further details regarding the claims, failing which the Company plans to engage a Nevada litigation attorney to contest the claim.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates past judgments and estimates, including those related to bad debts, accrued liabilities, convertible promissory notes and contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The accounting policies and related risks described in the Company’s Annual Report are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of July 31, 2021, there had been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.

OVERVIEW

 

We are an established provider of enterprise Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) solutions for online casino operators and online sports betting operators, commonly referred to as iGaming operators.

 

We develop and own online gaming intellectual property (IP) and build configurable and scalable, turn-key and white-label gaming platforms for our international customers, located primarily in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.

 

Our customers are primarily gaming Distributors and licensed online gaming operators. The Company also provides services and resells third party gaming content to licensed online gaming distributors and gaming operators. The Company provides business-to-business services and products and does not deal directly with players.

 

We derive revenues primarily from licensing fees received from gaming operators, in most cases via gaming Distributors located in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region that utilize the Company’s technology.

 

As of July 31, 2021, our systems had over 4.6 million registered players and a total of more than 488 unique casino and live game operations within all of our platforms including our GM-X, Turnkey Solution, and White Label Solutions.

 

The Company’s goal is to expand our customer base globally and to integrate additional operators, launch additional synergistic products and appoint more Distributors.

 

As described above, our core markets are currently the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region and while we have a solid customer base; we are continuing to engage new gaming Distributors and gaming operators on a regular basis and we anticipate that our current gaming Distributors and gaming operators will continue to grow.

 

Our objective in managing our resources is to ensure that we have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and meet our growth objectives while maximizing returns to shareholders. Liquidity is necessary to meet (i) the working capital needs of our operations, (ii) fund our growth and expansion plans, and (iii) consummate strategic acquisitions. We have met, and plan to continue to meet, our cash requirements through our operations and sales of equity securities. As to the funding of strategic acquisitions, we may issue debt in addition to raising funds through the sales of the Company’s capital stock.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on our business and we expect our business to be resilient through the pandemic. We have continued operations, supported our online products and customers, and grown our sales, while our employees and consultants work remotely. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, we have experienced minor issues in connection with the transition of certain resources to remote settings as a result of the pandemic.

 

Key elements of our growth strategy include:

 

 

Supporting our existing customers as they scale up their respective iGaming and online sportsbook operations. As our customers’ businesses grow, we intend to deploy additional resources to develop the GM-X System’s platform functionality, expand our gaming content portfolios by integrating additional third-party content providers, and seek to obtain additional regulatory approvals to operate in other global markets. The GM-X System turn-key solution (including modular, configurable and scalable gaming platforms), is a complete software package for starting an online gaming business, incorporating all the tools and gaming content necessary to run an online Casino and/or Sportsbook and offers a full suite of tools and features for successfully operating and maintaining an online gaming website; from player registration to user management and content management.

 

 

 

 

Expanding our global reach by securing new gaming Distributors, casino and sportsbook operator customers in existing and newly regulated markets.

 

 

 

 

Investing in sales and marketing initiatives to aggressively pursue new deployment opportunities in developing markets such as Africa and Latin America, as well as exploring opportunities in the U.S.

 

 

 

 

Developing and deploying our own proprietary gaming content in both casino iGaming as well as E-sport categories. We plan to launch our E-sport portfolio in the third quarter of 2021.

 

 

 

 

Pursuing acquisitions of synergistic companies and assets with the goal of expanding our competitive position in the markets in which we operate. We are also exploring the opportunity to selectively acquire independent slot development studios in order to launch our own proprietary games on our platform.

Table of Contents

 

The Company does not intend to make significant investments (except for potential acquisitions, none of which are currently pending) to support our business growth strategy. We believe that our business model is highly scalable and our existing resources can be leveraged to (i) develop new offerings and features, (ii) enhance our existing platform, and (iii) improve our operating infrastructure.

 

The Company may face significant costs with respect to legal fees incurred in the applications for licenses, continued regulatory requirements, and legal representation.

 

To acquire complementary businesses and technologies, we may need to pursue equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. Our ability to obtain additional capital, will depend on our business plans, investor demand, our operating performance, capital markets conditions and other factors. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our then issued and outstanding equity or debt, and our existing shareholders may experience dilution. If we are unable to obtain additional capital when required, or on satisfactory terms, our ability to continue to support our business growth or to respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances could be adversely affected, and our business may be harmed.

 

We may acquire other businesses, and our business may be detrimentally affected if we are unable to successfully integrate acquired businesses into our company or otherwise manage the growth associated with multiple acquisitions.

 

As part of our business strategy, we intend to make acquisitions of new or complementary businesses, products, brands, or technologies. In some cases, the costs of such acquisitions may be substantial, including as a result of professional fees and due diligence efforts. There is no assurance that the time and resources expended on pursuing a particular acquisition will result in a completed transaction, or that any completed transaction will ultimately be successful. In addition, we may be unable to identify suitable acquisition or strategic investment opportunities or may be unable to obtain the required financing or regulatory approvals, and therefore we may be unable to complete such acquisitions or strategic investments on favorable terms. We may pursue acquisitions that our investors may not agree with and we cannot assure investors that any acquisition or investment will be successful or otherwise provide a favorable return on investment. In addition, if we fail to successfully close transactions, integrate new technology or operational teams, or integrate the products and technologies associated with these acquisitions into our company, our business could be seriously harmed.

 

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes the infectious disease known as COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” on January 30, 2020 and a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. In March and April, many U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions began issuing ‘stay-at-home’ orders. Subsequently, and continuing through the date of this Report, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted global commercial activity, disrupted supply chains and contributed to significant volatility in financial markets. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could have a continued material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown.

 

A significant or prolonged decrease in consumer spending on entertainment or leisure activities would likely have an adverse effect on demand for our product offerings, reducing cash flows and revenues, and thereby materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, a recurrence of COVID-19 cases or an emergence of additional variants or strains could cause other widespread or more severe impacts depending on where infection rates are highest. We will continue to monitor developments relating to disruptions and uncertainties caused by COVID-19.

 

 
30
Table of Contents

 

As shown in our results of operations herein, we have to date, not experienced any significant material negative impact to our operations, revenues or gross profit due to COVID-19. However, moving forward, the range of possible impacts on our business from the coronavirus pandemic could include: (i) changing demand for our products and services; (ii) rising bottlenecks in our supply chain; and (iii) increasing contraction in the capital markets. At this time, we believe that it is premature to determine the potential impact on our business prospects from these or any other factors that may be related to the coronavirus pandemic; however, it is possible that COVID-19 and the worldwide response thereto, may have a material negative effect on our operations, cash flows and results of operations.

 

Currently we believe that we have sufficient cash on hand, and the ability to raise additional funding, or borrow additional funding, as needed, to support our operations for the foreseeable future; however, we will continue to evaluate our business operations based on new information as it becomes available and will make changes that we consider necessary in light of any new developments regarding the pandemic.

 

The future impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations is currently unknown. The pandemic is developing rapidly and the full extent to which COVID-19 will ultimately impact us depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the virus, as well as potential seasonality of new outbreaks.

Licensing Agreement

 

On June 28, 2021, we entered into a Software Licensing Agreement (the “Licensing Agreement”) with Fantasma Games AB (Nasdaq First North Growth Market: FAGA; Stockholm: FAGA:SS) (“Fantasma”), a company incorporated in Sweden, pursuant to which the Company acquired a license to host Fantasma’s portfolio of casino betting games. Under the terms of the Licensing Agreement, Fantasma granted us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license (unless otherwise stated in the agreement) to integrate Fantasma’s portfolio of casino betting games on the online gaming platforms that the Company designs and develops for itself and/or on behalf of operators and allow the users to access and play the games.

Table of Contents

 

The Licensing Agreement requires the Company to pay Fantasma the Monthly License Fee to be calculated as a certain percentage of the monthly Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) generated by the betting games. In Asian countries, different percentages will apply based on different range of monthly NGR generated by the betting games. In non-Asian countries, the Monthly License Fee will be on an ad hoc basis. The Licensing Agreement continues until or unless terminated in accordance with the agreement.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three months ended July 31, 2021, compared to the three months ended July 31, 2020.

 

Revenues

 

The Company currently has two distinctive revenue streams.

 

1) The Company charges gaming Distributors and gaming operators for the use of its unique intellectual property (IP) and technology systems. Revenues derived from such charges were based on the usage of the systems by the clients. During the three months ended July 31, 2021, the Company generated $575,049 of revenues from its unique IP and technology systems, including $556,743 from Articulate Pty Ltd (“Articulate”), a related party, which is wholly-owned by Anthony Brian Goodman, CEO of the Company and his wife Marla Goodman. During the three months ended July 31, 2020, the Company generated $634,870 revenues from its unique IP and technology systems, of which $531,369 was from Articulate.

 

The decrease of $59,821 in revenues from use of IP in the three-month period ended July 31, 2021, compared to the three-month period ended July 31, 2020, was mainly due to the loss of certain major operators from our third-party customers, which was offset by an increase in revenues from Articulate over the same period.

 

2) Since June 2020, the Company has been contracting with clients to become resellers of gaming content. During the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, revenues derived from the reselling of gaming content were $2,676,133 and $410,555, respectively. The increase of $2,265,578 in revenues from the resale of gaming content in the three-month period ended July 31, 2021, compared with the three months ended July 31, 2020, was attributable to an increased number of customers and registered players with our customers.

 

Total revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020 were $3,251,182 and $1,045,425, respectively. Revenues from the usage of the Company’s systems for the three months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020 were $575,049 and $634,870, respectively. Revenues from resales for the three months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020 were $2,676,133 and $410,555, respectively.

 

Cost of goods sold

 

The Company currently has two distinctive sources of cost of goods sold.

 

1) Historically, the Company only recognized the value of stock options granted to consultants under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan as cost of goods sold. This recognition was based on the stock options directly contributed to the revenue generated by the Company’s GM2 Asset. During the three months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020, cost of goods sold due to the amortization of options was $88,259 and $57,332, respectively. The increase in the cost of goods sold was due to 200,000 additional options to purchase shares of common stock granted to two consultants on March 23, 2021, with an exercise price of $5.49 per share and an expiration date is March 23, 2024, subject to certain vesting terms. Also, the increase in the share price has increased the option valuation based on the Black-Scholes valuation model and therefore increased the amortization expenses.

 

2) Beginning in June 2020, due to the reselling of the gaming content, the cost of usage of the third-party content is recognized as a cost of goods sold. During the three months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020, cost of goods sold due to the usage of gaming content was $1,955,181 and $337,400, respectively. The increase of $1,617,781 in cost of goods sold from the resale of gaming content in the three-month period ended July 31, 2021, compared with the three months ended July 31, 2020, was attributable to an increased number of customers and registered players with our customers.

 

Total costs of goods sold for the three-months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020 were $2,043,440 and $394,732, respectively.

General and administrative expenses

 

During the three months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020, general and administrative expenses were $340,894 and $105,222, respectively. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of advertising and promotion expenses, travel expenses, website maintenance expenses, administrative expenses, commission expenses, lease expenses, gaming license expenses and amortization expenses on our intangible asset (see “Note 6 – Intangible Assets – Software Platform” to the financial statements included herein). The increase of $235,672 in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to the marketing fee paid to one of the Company’s customers and certain new expenses which were applicable this fiscal year, but not last, including lease expenses, gaming license expenses, and amortization expenses on our intangible asset.

During the three months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020, general and administrative expenses from related parties were $224,266 and $405,373, respectively. General and administrative expenses from related parties consisted primarily of amortization expenses due to stock options granted to Directors and Officers, back-office expenses (which have been terminated June 30, 2021), consulting expenses and salary expenses payable to the Company’s Management and Directors. The components of general and administrative expenses from related parties are as follows:

The decrease of $181,107 in general and administrative expenses from related parties was attributable to a decrease in amortization expense of $245,087 for the three months ended July 31, 2021, compared to July 31, 2020, due to stock options becoming fully amortized under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan; the decrease in the back office expenses of $11,000 was due to the cancellation of the Back Office Services Agreement with Articulate on June 30, 2021; and the consulting and salary expenses increase of $74,980 was due to the increased number of Directors and an increase in compensation paid to Management.

 

Research and development expense

 

During the three months ended July 31, 2021, the research and development expense was $68,046. The research and development expense was incurred in connection with the building of the Company’s Proprietary Peer to Peer gaming system. During the three months ended July 31, 2020, there was no research and development expense.

 

Professional fees

 

During the three months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020, professional fees were $63,770 and $46,733, respectively. Professional fees consisted primarily of SEC filing fees, legal fees, transfer agent service fees and accounting and audit fees. The increase in professional fees was mainly due to the recent corporation actions relating to the preparation of documentation and filings associated with a planned underwritten offering of securities by the Company, which offering remains subject to certain conditions precedent, including approval of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ, which may not be approved on a timely basis, if at all, and which offering may not proceed on the terms previously disclosed, if at all, and which increased the legal service fees for the current period compared to the prior period.

Interest expense

 

During the three months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020, interest expense was $0 and $3,663, respectively. The decrease of interest expense was mainly due to the decrease in the outstanding balance of notes payable.

 

Interest income

 

During the three months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020, interest income was $45 and $232, respectively. The interest income was attributable to the Wells Fargo Saving account which the Company opened in February 2019.

 

Foreign exchange gain (loss)

 

During the three months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020, foreign exchange loss was $29,622 and $4,309, respectively. The foreign exchange loss was mainly due to the fluctuation of the Euro against the US dollar, and as a result of certain suppliers billing the Company in Euros.

 

Net income

 

The Company had net income of $481,189 and $85,625 for the three months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The increase in net income of $395,564 was primarily due to an increase in revenues of $2,205,757 (of which $2,180,383 of the increase was attributable to revenues from third-party Distributors and $25,374 of the increase was attributable to related party revenues, each as discussed above); which increase in revenues were offset by (i) an increase of cost of goods sold of $1,648,708 and (ii) an increase of operating expenses of $139,648, as discussed in greater details above.

 

Six months ended July 31, 2021, compared to the six months ended July 31, 2020.

 

Revenues

 

The Company currently has two distinctive revenue streams.

 

1) The Company charges gaming Distributors and gaming operators for the use of its unique intellectual property (IP) and technology systems. Revenues derived from such charges were based on the usage of the systems by the clients. During the six months ended July 31, 2021, the Company generated $1,336,223 of revenues from its unique IP and technology systems, including $1,226,731 from Articulate, a related party, which is wholly-owned by Anthony Brian Goodman, CEO of the Company and his wife Marla Goodman. During the six months ended July 31, 2020, the Company generated $1,369,634 revenues from its unique IP and technology systems, of which $1,062,934 was from Articulate.

 

The decrease of $33,411 in revenues from use of IP in the six-month period ended July 31, 2021, compared to the six-month period ended July 31, 2020, was mainly due to the loss of certain major operators from our third-party customers, which was offset by an increase in revenues from Articulate.

 

2) Since June 2020, the Company has been contracting with clients to become resellers of gaming content. During the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, revenues derived from the reselling of gaming content were $4,554,361 and $410,555, respectively. The increase of $4,143,806 in revenues from the resale of gaming content in the six-month period ended July 31, 2021, compared with the six months ended July 31, 2020, was attributable to an increased number of customers and registered players with our customers.

 

Total revenues for the six months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020 were $5,890,584 and $1,780,189, respectively. Revenues from the usage of the Company’s systems for the six months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020 were $1,336,223 and $1,369,634, respectively. Revenues from resales for the six months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020 were $4,554,361 and $410,555, respectively.

 

Cost of goods sold

 

The Company currently has two distinctive sources of cost of goods sold.

 

 
34
Table of Contents

 

1) Historically, the Company only recognized the value of stock options granted to consultants under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan as cost of goods sold. This recognition was based on the stock options directly contributed to the revenue generated by the Company’s GM2 Asset. During the six months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020, cost of goods sold due to the amortization of options was $166,115 and $88,828, respectively. The increase in the cost of goods sold was due to 200,000 additional options to purchase shares of common stock granted on March 23, 2021. Also, the increase in the share price has increased the option valuation based on the Black-Scholes valuation model and therefore increased the amortization expenses.

 

2) Beginning in June 2020, due to the reselling of the gaming content, the cost of usage of the third-party content is recognized as a cost of goods sold. During the six months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020, cost of goods sold due to the usage of gaming content was $3,370,368 and $337,400, respectively. The increase of $3,032,968 in cost of goods sold from the resale of gaming content in the six-month period ended July 31, 2021, compared with the six months ended July 31, 2020, was attributable to an increased number of customers and registered players with our customers.

 

Total costs of goods sold for the six months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020 were $3,536,483 and $426,228, respectively.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

During the six months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020, general and administrative expenses were $668,605 and $215,862, respectively. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of advertising and promotion expenses, travel expenses, website maintenance expenses, administrative expenses, commission expenses, lease expenses, gaming license expenses and amortization expenses on our intangible asset. The increase of $452,743 in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to the marketing fee paid to one of the Company’s customers and certain new expenses which were applicable this fiscal year, but not last, including lease expenses, gaming license expenses, and amortization expenses on our intangible asset. The marketing fee is due to one customer pursuant to the Company’s Software Services Agreement which stipulates that if the customer reaches a certain amount of usage, the customer is due a marketing fee as compensation.

 

General and administrative expenses – Related parties

 

During the six months ended July 31, 2021, and 2020, general and administrative expenses from related parties were $786,610 and $743,019, respectively.

The Company generated cash from operating activities of $1,372,334 during the six months ended July 31, 2021, due primarily to $609,061 of net income, and non-cash expenses relating to stock-based compensation (including options issued for services of $657,362 and stock issued for services of $40,000) which amounted to $1,306,423 during the six months ended July 31, 2021.

During the six months ended July 31, 2021, cash used in investing activities was $231,314 which was primarily due to the purchase of Global Technology Group Pty Ltd (GTG) of $115,314 and the purchase of intangible fixed assets for $116,000.

Net cash used in financing activities was $339,951 for the six months ended July 31, 2020, which was mainly due to $135,697 repayments on settlement payable – related party, in connection with amounts paid to Luxor Capital, LLC, which is wholly-owned by Anthony Brian Goodman, CEO of the Company (“Luxor”), and $174,254 of repayments on promissory note – related party, in connection with amounts paid to Luxor.

Material Events and Uncertainties

 

Our operating results are difficult to forecast. Our prospects should be evaluated in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties commonly encountered by comparable development stage companies.

 

There can be no assurance that we will successfully address such risks, expenses and difficulties.

 

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures

 

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of July 31, 2021, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting to ensure we maintain an effective internal control environment. During the three months ended July 31, 2021 and as of July 31, 2021, the Company has hired personnel and contractors with sufficient accounting and GAAP knowledge to ensure separation of duties and supervision of accounting and financial activity. Procedures and practices have been implemented that ensure timely and accurate reporting of financial data for the quarter ended July 31, 2021, covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These changes have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

  

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

In the ordinary course of business, we may become a party to lawsuits involving various matters. The impact and outcome of litigation, if any, is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We believe the ultimate resolution of any such current proceeding will not have a material adverse effect on our continued financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
