FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “expects,” “plans,” “will,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “intends,” “estimates,” and other words of similar meaning. One can identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. One must carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from our forward looking statements. These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially.
These risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, include, and are not limited to:
● | our growth strategies; |
● | our anticipated future operation and profitability; |
● | our future financing capabilities and anticipated need for working capital; |
● | the anticipated trends in our industry; |
● | acquisitions of other companies or assets that we might undertake in the future; |
● | current and future competition. |
In addition, factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in particular, the risks discussed under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as those discussed in other documents we file with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Good Gaming, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(expressed in U.S. dollars)
1. | Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business |
Good Gaming, Inc. (formerly “HDS International Corp.”, the “Company”) was incorporated on November 3, 2008 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is a leading tournament gaming platform and online destination targeting over 250 million esports players and participants worldwide that want to compete at the high school or college level. A substantial portion of the Company’s activities have involved developing a business plan and establishing contacts and visibility in the marketplace and the Company has not generated any substantial revenue to date.
Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Crypto Strategies Group, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated minimal revenues to date and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,506,670 and an accumulated deficit of $5,128,673. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company’s future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
F-4 |
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 to the statement of operations and statement of cash flows to reflect consistency with the current presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the fair values of convertible debentures, derivative liability, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. Amounts receivable from credit card processors are also considered cash equivalents because they are both short-term and highly liquid in nature.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are carried at the purchased cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally five years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Beneficial Conversion Features
From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain an embedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.
Derivative Liability
From time to time, the Company may issue equity instruments that may contain an embedded derivative instrument which may result in a derivative liability. A derivative liability exists on the date the equity instrument is issued when there is a contingent exercise provision. The derivative liability is records at is fair value calculated by using an option pricing model. The fair value of the derivative liability is then calculated on each balance sheet date with the corresponding gains and losses recorded in the statement of operations.
F-5 |
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2018, the Company had 21,630,200 (2017 – 8,779,119) potentially dilutive shares from outstanding convertible debentures.
Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. Unrecognized tax positions, if ever recognized in the consolidated financial statements, are recorded in the statement of operations as part of the income tax provision. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions, if any, as part of the income tax provision. The Company has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. Unrecognized tax positions, if ever recognized in the consolidated financial statements, are recorded in the statement of operations as part of the income tax provision. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions, if any, as part of the income tax provision. The Company has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
On March 22, 2017, tax reform legislation known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Reform Act”) was enacted in the United States. The U.S. Tax Reform Act, among other things, reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in 2018. On March 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on how to account for the effects of the U.S. Tax Reform Act under ASC 740.
Financial Instruments
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument is categorized within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
F-6 |
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2018 and 2017 as follows:
Description | Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2018 Using Fair Value Hierarchy | |||||||||||||||
Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | |||||||||||||
Derivative liability | $ | 268,031 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 268,031 | ||||||||

Total | $ | 570,643 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 570,643 |
The carrying values of all of our other financial instruments, which include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated Statements of Operations and are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred $12,272 in advertising and promotion expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Revenue Recognition
The company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Revenues primarily include revenues from microtransactions revenues are derived from the sale of virtual goods to the Company’s players. Proceeds from the sales of virtual goods directly are recognized as revenues when a player uses the virtual goods.
F-7 |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which was amended in 2015 and 2016. The new revenue recognition standard relates to revenue from contracts with customers and will supersede nearly all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate industry-specific guidance.
The underlying principle is to use a five-step analysis of transactions to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The standard, as amended, is effective for annual periods beginning December 15, 2017. The Company has implemented the ASU and the adoption of the standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements.
The Company has implemented all other new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

4. Debt
Convertible Debentures
On April 1, 2015, we entered into a transaction with Iconic whereby Iconic agreed to provide up to $600,000 through a structured convertible promissory note (the “2015 Iconic Note”), with funds to be received in tranches. The note bears interest of 10% and was due April 1, 2016. The initial proceeds of $40,000 was received on April 9, 2015, with $30,000 remitted and delivered to us, $4,000 retained by Iconic as an original issue discount, and $6,000 retained by Iconic for legal expenses. On February 17, 2016 as part of a settlement between Iconic and the Company, the 2015 Iconic Note along with a remaining balance of $8,300 from former JABRO-Asher notes were restructured to a principal amount of $25,000 with a due date of June 18, 2017 and an interest rate of 0%. Iconic is subject to strict lock-up and leak-out provisions. Additionally, as part of the February 2016 settlement with Iconic, Iconic funded $100,000 new debentures (the “$100,000 Convertible Promissory Note”) due August 2018 bearing 0% interest with the lender subject to strict lock-up and leak-out provisions. On June 27, 2017, Iconic’s $100,000 Convertible Promissory Note issued on February 18, 2016 was amended to reflect an advisement of the conversion price of $.10 cents to $.08 cents per common share.

On April 15, 2015, the Company issued a convertible debenture with the principal amount of $100,000 to HGT Capital, LLC (“HGT”), a non-related party. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company received the first $50,000 in payment. The remaining $50,000 payment would be made at the request of the borrower. No additional payments have been made as of September 30, 2017. Under the terms of the debenture, the amount was unsecured and was due on October 16, 2016. The note is currently in default and bears an interest at 22% per annum. It was convertible into shares of common stock any time after the maturity date at a conversion rate of 50% of the average of the five lowest closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock for the thirty trading days ending one trading day prior to the date the conversion notice was sent by the holder to the Company. On September 21, 2018, the Company entered into a modification agreement with HGT with respect to the convertible promissory note which has a balance of $107,238. Pursuant to such modification agreement, all defaults were waived and it was agreed that such note will convert at a 25% discount to the market rather than the default rate. HGT also agreed to certain sale prohibitions which limit the amount of shares that they can sell in any month for the next three months.

7. | Preferred Stock |
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 2,250,350 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value. Of the 2,250,350 shares of authorized preferred stock, the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the Corporation has the authority to issue is Two Million (2,000,000), par value $0.001 per share; the total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock the Corporation has the authority to issue is Two Hundred Forty Nine thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety Nine (249,999), par value $0.001 per share; the total number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock the Corporation has the authority to issue is One (1), par value $0.001 per share; and the total number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock the Corporation has the authority to issue is three hundred and fifty (350), par value $0.001 per share. Our Board of Directors is authorized, without further action by the shareholders, to issue shares of preferred stock and to fix the designations, number, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and sinking fund terms. We believe that the Board of Directors’ power to set the terms of, and our ability to issue, preferred stock will provide flexibility in connection with possible financing or acquisition transactions in the future. The issuance of preferred stock, however, could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and decrease the amount of any liquidation distribution to such holders. The presence of outstanding preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company.
As of June 30, 2018, we had 7,500 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. As of June 30, 2018, we had 106,511 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. As of June 30, 2018, we had one (1) share of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. At June 30, 2018, we had 210 shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
The 7,500 issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of common stock at a rate of 20 shares of common stock for each Series A Preferred Share. The 106,511 issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate of 200 shares of common stock for each Series B Preferred Share. If all of our Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2018 are converted into shares of common stock, the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock will increase by 21,452,200 shares.
The one (1) share of Series C Preferred Stock, issued and outstanding, has voting rights equivalent to 51% of all shares entitled to vote and is held by ViaOne, a Company controlled by David Dorwart, the Company’s CEO.
The 210 issued and outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of common stock at a rate of 125% of the conversion amount at a price that is the lower of 110% of the volume weighted average prices (“VWAP”) of the common stock on the closing date, the VWAP of the common stock on the conversion date or the VWAP of the common stock on the date prior to the conversion date. Series D Preferred Stock is convertible beginning 6 months from the issue date. At June 30, 2018, all of Series D Preferred Stock issued and outstanding was eligible to be converted to the Company’s common stock.
The 210 issued and outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% of the face value of shares, or the number of shares multiplied by 1,000. The dividends commence to accrue on the issue date of the Series D Preferred Stock and continue accruing whether or not declared by the Board of the Company and whether or not there are sufficient earnings or surplus. The dividends are payable quarterly, with the first dividend date being March 31, 2017. The dividends are payable in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. At June 30, 2018, the Company had $5,149 in cumulative unpaid dividends.
On September 21, 2018, the Company entered into a modification agreement with RedDiamond Partners, Inc. (“RedDiamond”) relating to the remaining shares of Series D preferred stock held by RedDiamond. Pursuant to such agreement, the previous defaults under the Certificate of Designation relating to the Series D Preferred Stock were waived and accordingly the default provisions are not in effect anymore which would have allowed RedDiamond to convert at the default rate and instead will convert at a 25% discount to the average of the five lowest trading days out of the 20 days’ prior to conversion which was the original discount provided for in the agreement. The Company agreed to redeem 46.531 of the remaining 93.062 shares over the next 3 months and cancel such shares without conversion. RedDiamond also agreed to certain sale prohibitions which limit the amount of shares that they can sell in any month for the next three months.
All of the Series A, B, C and D Preferred Stock have a liquidation preference to the common stock of the Company.

8. | Warrant |
In connection with the $100,000 convertible debenture issued to HGT, the Company issued HGT a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.00 per share. This warrant was not exercised as of June 30, 2018, is exercisable through April 15, 2020 and had a remaining life of 2.01 years as of June 30, 2018.

Overview
The Company was incorporated on November 3, 2008 under the laws of the State of Nevada, to engage in certain business services. Our goal is to become a leading tournament gaming provider as well as an online destination, targeting over 250 million esports players and participants worldwide that want to compete at the high school or college level. We are a developmental stage business, have generated limited revenues to date and have a history of operating losses.
The Good Gaming platform was established in early 2014 by its founding members who recognized the need that millions of gamers worldwide desired to play games at competitive levels. The founders recognized that there was no structure or organization on a large scale for amateur gamers while professional esports was quickly establishing itself.
Good Gaming is effectively building the business infrastructure for the rapidly growing esports industry, similar to the high school and college athletic industry. Good Gaming is designed to be the gateway for amateur esports athletes to compete at the semi-professional level, improve their gaming skills, and interact with veteran gamers globally in a destination site and social networking framework.
Good Gaming differs from the professional level of the esports industry by focusing on more than approximately 250 million gamers that fall below the professional level but are above the casual level, classified as “amateurs.” Good Gaming distinguishes itself from its direct and indirect competitors by being the first company to offer multi-game, multi-console services at the amateur esports level. The Company is not exclusive to any particular hardware or software vendor.
On May 4, 2016, the Company announced that it had completed its first closed public beta testing of their 2.0 tournament platform to determine the functionality, speed, ease of use, and accuracy of the system and is preparing to enter into full-blown production.
On February 18, 2016, the Company, formerly HDS International Corp., acquired the assets of Good Gaming, Inc. from CMG Holdings Group, Inc. (OTCQB: CMGO). On that date, the Company’s former CEO, Paul Rauner, resigned. The Company appointed Vikram Grover to the positions of CEO and Director of the board of directors (the “Board”). Vikram Grover is a former Wall Street analyst and investment banker with more than 20 years of experience in telecommunications, media and technology. In addition, David Dorwart was elected by the majority shareholders to the Company’s Board. Mr. Dorwart is the Co-Founder and Chairman of Assist Wireless, Inc., a provider of lifeline wireless services to tens of thousands of subscribers primarily in the Midwest.
In March 2017, the Company began exploring potential partnerships with various franchise opportunities related to both LAN centers and Virtual Reality centers. Financial analysis and research on these opportunities is ongoing.
On June 27, 2017 the Board of Directors of the Company appointed David B. Dorwart, 59 years old, as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. On June 21, 2017, Mr. Dorwart was appointed to serve as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. David B. Dorwart, Chairman and CEO of Good Gaming, Inc., brings over 31 years of start-up entrepreneurism and executive level management to the Company. Mr. Dorwart was a CoFounder and CEO of dPi Teleconnect, a prepaid wireless provider, for 10 years. During his tenure, he grew the company from a start-up to $75 million in revenues before selling the company. Over the last 9 years, he has been involved with several other successful projects including Assist Wireless, Brooklet Energy Distribution, PayGo Distributors and Britton & Associates. He is currently the Chairman and CoFounder of ViaOne, a company which specializes in wireless communications and provides intricate multi-faceted services for start-up companies utilizing industry experts. By virtue of their ownership of this Series C Preferred Stock, ViaOne is the Company’s principal stockholder.

On June 27, 2017, the Company also bolstered its Board of Directors with executive level professionals by adding two seasoned individuals listed below who specialize in organization and finance as well as the branding and marketing of established and emerging organizations which are poised to show significant growth.
Domenic Fontana, age 38, is currently Sr. Vice President of ViaOne and a new board member. He is an experienced CPA and financial executive who has worked in progressively more advanced executive roles throughout his career. Having worked at Verizon, Ebay and now ViaOne over the last 13 years, he has developed extensive knowledge of executive level management and the telecommunications industry. He has worked in all aspects of Finance, Accounting, Treasury, and Operations.
Jordan Majkszak Axt, a new board member, age 37, is a results-producing marketing professional with over 14 years of experience in developing marketing and branding strategies. He has been consistently noted by executives, colleagues, and journalists for his specific expertise in bringing products and services online with a comprehensive digital go-to-market strategy. He has previously held executive level positions as Director of Marketing for ProfitPoint Inc. and Clutch Holdings LLC. He is currently a Senior Director of Marketing of ViaOne where he develops all marketing and customer acquisition strategies for 14 consumer facing brands.
On July 10, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors elected David Dorwart as its CEO. Additionally, the Board of Directors approved the election of Domenic Fontana and Jordan Axt to the Company’s Board of Directors.
On August 8, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company accepted Vikram Grover’s resignation as the Treasurer of the Company and as a member of the Board, effective immediately.
On August 8, 2017, the Board of the Company accepted Barbara Laken’s resignation as the Secretary of the Company and as a member on the Board, effective immediately.
On August 9, 2017, the Company announced a strategic review of its business, which prompted improvements to its business model and a reduction in expenses designed to accelerate its move to free cash flow generation.
On August 29, 2017, Eric Brown was appointed as the Chief Operating Officer.
In September 2017, the Company began focusing on its Minecraft server by enhancing the development staff and launched an offering of microtransactions after it saw the opportunity to generate revenue without adding a great deal of overhead expenses. The initial offering of microtransactions exceeded revenue expectations and the Company has continued to expand the Minecraft server offerings. The Company also began pursuing the acquisition of additional Minecraft servers that were already established to begin scaling this effort.
On March 21, 2018, the Company acquired Crypto Strategies Group, Inc. for consideration of $500. The Company intends to diversify its business and enter into the cryptocurrency market through such acquisition.
Technology
In 2016, the Company completed its 2.0 tournament platform and thereafter ran dozens of robotic internal test tournaments and held numerous free-to-play tournaments on large scales with its partner The Syndicate, the owner of the world’s longest running online gaming guild that has 1,200 members worldwide. Good Gaming conducted two closed public beta tournaments of hundreds of participants in May 2016 in order to fully vet the system. After making roughly 100 fixes and changes to the system, it now runs smoothly. The system is designed to scale to 512,000 concurrent competitors. The Company has updated the system to handle team tournaments, which will further expand its opportunity to popular titles that have tens of millions of active players, and has recently launched titles that have the potential for cross-platform play among Gaming PC, Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation.

In 2017, the Company ran hundreds of tournaments on a regular basis with a dedicated customer base of over 30,000 members. Additionally, the Company expanded its website by offering content relevant to the member base with information relating to game play strategy and game news. This generated nearly 100,000 unique visits per month. In an effort to monetize that traffic, the Company employed the use of Google display advertising and tested a subscription model. After careful evaluation of the Company’s strategy, management decided to move away from free tournaments and custom content and focus on growing and monetizing our Minecraft server, which has grown substantially in popularity. This decision was a result of comprehensive competitive analysis and evaluations made in how the esports industry was shifting in its space. Tournaments and custom content are currently suspended while the Company grows revenue and focuses on expanding its efforts with Minecraft. The Company is also aggressively evaluating several business models and acquisition opportunities to resume its previous success as it is related to tournaments.
Business Strategy
In the past, our management team’s strategy was to be a full-service company endeavoring to provide best in class tournaments, the best platform on which they are played, and content that is all about the esports world. We have looked at this strategy and have changed the way we view our business.
It’s our ambition and strategy to be great at providing a place for amateurs to play. By focusing on what the gaming universe needs, it allows us to focus on the promotion of teams, leagues and competition. We will continue with this strategy because over this past year, we have been successful in managing the tournaments. We intend to begin with local servers and expand organically from there. We recognize there are millions of players who desire to compete within the gaming community.
Minecraft is another business strategy. We have a well-established server and will continue to devote resources to developing and acquiring other Minecraft assets. We feel that we have learned how to monetize our Minecraft server and will be able to continue to grow and have it as a meaningful part of our business strategy.
In our evaluation of our current business model, we have decided not to pursue the operation as a tournament platform. We feel there are too many great platforms that allow complete integration via APIs to run our tournaments. These companies have spent and continued spending millions of dollars establishing their platforms. It’s what they do very well and they rely on companies such as Good Gaming to run and host tournaments.
We previously developed our own codes and have a platform that is suitable to handle tournaments but needs some improvement to be commercially ready. In fact, it’s this platform that we have used up to now to run our Hearthstone tournaments. Although it is functional, the challenge is that it costs too much capital to maintain and improve the platform. At this this point, it’s an asset we have and we may try to monetize this at some point.
We cannot provide any assurance that our focus on hosting the esports tournaments will be successful and profitable in the future or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets that management expects to hold and use is based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

Beneficial Conversion Features
From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain an embedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of the warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method.
Derivative Liability
From time to time, the Company may issue equity instruments that may contain an embedded derivative instrument which may result in a derivative liability. A derivative liability exists on the date the equity instrument is issued when there is a contingent exercise provision. The derivative liability is records at is fair value calculated by using an option pricing model. The fair value of the derivative liability is then calculated on each balance sheet date with the corresponding gains and losses recorded in the statement of operations.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2018, the Company had 21,630,200 (2017 – 8,779,119) potentially dilutive shares from outstanding convertible debentures.
Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. Unrecognized tax positions, if ever recognized in the consolidated financial statements, are recorded in the statement of operations as part of the income tax provision. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions, if any, as part of the income tax provision. The Company has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions. Unrecognized tax positions, if ever recognized in the consolidated financial statements, are recorded in the statement of operations as part of the income tax provision. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions, if any, as part of the income tax provision. The Company has no liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
On March 22, 2017, tax reform legislation known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Reform Act”) was enacted in the United States. The U.S. Tax Reform Act, among other things, reduced the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in 2018. On March 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on how to account for the effects of the U.S. Tax Reform Act under ASC 740.

Financial Instruments
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument is categorized within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as at June 30, 2018 and 2017 as follows:

The carrying values of all of our other financial instruments, which include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated Statements of Operations and are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred $12,272 in advertising and promotion expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Revenue Recognition
The company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the company performs the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Revenues primarily include revenues from microtransactions revenues are derived from the sale of virtual goods to the Company’s players. Proceeds from the sales of virtual goods directly are recognized as revenues when a player uses the virtual goods.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which was amended in 2015 and 2016. The new revenue recognition standard relates to revenue from contracts with customers and will supersede nearly all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate industry-specific guidance.
The underlying principle is to use a five-step analysis of transactions to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The standard, as amended, is effective for annual periods beginning December 15, 2017. The Company has implemented the ASU and the adoption of the standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements.
The Company has implemented all other new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the consolidated financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. This means that our auditors believed there was substantial doubt that we could continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months from the date of issuance of this going concern opinion unless we obtained additional capital. We generated little revenue in the past. We have completed the development of our website, sourced out suppliers of materials for our products and sourced out customers to buy our products. Accordingly, before our operations can generate substantial revenue, we need to raise cash from sources other than operations. Our other source for cash at this time is investments by others in our company and the revenue we generate from the sales of our products. We need to raise funds to continue our project and build our operations.

Plan of Operation – Milestones
We are at the early stage of our new business operations. Over the next twelve months, our primary target milestones include:
1. | Continue to achieve substantial growth within our Minecraft division. We expect this to be a profitable center for us. |
2. | Launch an in-person gaming product. We expect to launch this product in the fourth quarter of 2018 and anticipate substantial growth by the end of the year. |
3. | Continue to evaluate opportunities which have synergies to our existing business line. |
4. | Anticipate sustainable financial profitability this year. |
Limited operating history and need for additional capital
There is limited historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance relating to our new business direction. We have generated little revenue. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services and products.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s cash balance consisted of $22,426 compared to cash balance of $84,073 as of June 30, 2017. The decrease in the cash balance was attributed to the repayment of financing that we received for day-to-day activities. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $824,410 in assets compared to total assets of $1,002,903 as at June 30, 2017.

● | Cash flow from Financing Activities |
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company received $404,358 of proceeds from financing activities compared to $455,500 during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease of $51,142 in proceeds from financing activities was due to the decrease in financing needs.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. As such, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements without further financing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our preferred stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders.
There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15e under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 the “Exchange Act”), our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the lack of segregation of duties and lack of a formal review process that includes multiple levels of review to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms because of the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures. The material weakness relates to the lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as our financial reporting and accounting functions were performed by an external consultant with no oversight by a professional with accounting expertise. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer did not possess accounting expertise and our company does not have an audit committee. This weakness was due to the Company’s lack of working capital to hire additional staff. Subsequently, with the completion of transition in the management and Board, the financial management will be lead by a certified public accountant with extensive accounting experience who follows the standards of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and internal controls procedures to ensure the faithful representation of the financial statements, including the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the reporting entity.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as noted above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our second quarter of 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

HGT has filed a lawsuit against the Company, claiming breach of contract due to a default on a $50,000 junior loan made by HGT to HDS International Corp., our predecessor, in 2015. The Company has retained counsel to represent it on this matter and responded with affirmative defenses in the Supreme Court of New York.
