NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (“GMGI” or “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 4, 2008, under the name Ibex Resources Corp. The Company business at the time was mining and exploration of mineral properties. On August 31, 2009, the Company changed its name to Source Gold Corp. in order to reflect the focus of the Company. In April 2016, the Company changed its name to Golden Matrix Group, Inc., reflected the changing direction of the Company business to software technology. GMGI has a global presence with offices in Las Vegas Nevada and Sydney Australia. GMGI’s sophisticated social gaming software supports multiple languages including English and Chinese.
 
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (“GMGI” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended July 31, 2019 on Form 10-K filed on October 23, 2019.
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended July 31, 2019 have been omitted.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include contingent liability, stock-based compensation, warrant valuation and collectability of accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.
 
Revenues
 
According to Topic 606,
Revenue Recognition
, our company recognize revenue with 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.
 
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 is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.
 
 
8
 
 
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 is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for 2020 and 2019:
 
 
 
For the three months ended

Derivative Instruments
 
We review the terms of the common stock, warrants and convertible debt we issue to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
 
Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded as a discount from their face value.
 
 
9
 
   
Derivatives are measured at their fair value on the balance sheet. Changes in fair value are recorded in the statement of operation.
 
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 measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
 
·
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
 
 
·
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
 
 
·
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
 
Our financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, convertible notes payable, advances from shareholder, and derivative liabilities. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The derivative liabilities are stated at their fair value as a level 3 measurement. The Company used a Black-Scholes model to determine the fair values of these derivative liabilities.
 
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 ASC 718, while nonemployee share-based payments issued for goods and services are accounted for under ASC 505-50. ASC 505-50 differs significantly from ASC 718. 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. The Company has adopted the new standard and has made some adjustment with regard to the share-based compensation costs during last fiscal year. Under the ASU 2018-07, the measurement of equity-classified nonemployee share-based payments is generally fixed on the grant date. And the options are no longer revalued on each reporting date. 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.

Subsequent Events
 
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued for disclosure purposes.
 
Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . Under the new guidance, lessees will be 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 is 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 to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company does not have any lease agreements or have any contracts that contain lease elements.
 
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 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted if financial statements have not yet been issued (for PBEs), but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of ASC 606. If early adoption is elected, all amendments in the ASU that apply must be adopted in the same period. In addition, if early adoption is elected in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.
 
The Company has adopted the ASU 2018-07 and has adjusted the share-based compensation costs during last fiscal year. The 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.
 
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GMGI have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has suffered significant net losses from operations in prior periods and had an accumulated deficit of $ 25,453,045 as of January 31, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the six months, the Company has generated a net profit of $984,690. The management plans to expand the customer base globally and to integrate additional operators, launch additional synergistic products and appoint more distributors to keep the growth of revenues. As such, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

The note may be converted at the option of the holder into Common stock of the Company. The fixed conversion price is $0.01 per share. Accordingly the note may be converted into 3,000,000 common shares of the Company.
 
The Company determined that this Promissory Note should be accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 470-20 which addresses “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features”. The beneficial conversion feature is calculated at its intrinsic value (that is, the difference between the conversion price $0.01 and the fair value of the common stock into which the debt is convertible at the commitment date (per share being $0.08), multiplied by the number of shares into which the debt is convertible. The valuation of the beneficial conversion feature recorded cannot be greater than the face value of the note issued.

NOTE 4 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
 
Due to the conversion features contained in the convertible notes issued, the actual number of shares of common stock that would be required if a conversion of the notes as further described in Note 6 was made through the issuance of the Company’s common stock cannot be predicted, and the Company could be required to issue an amount of shares that may cause it to exceed its authorized share amount. As a result, the conversion feature requires derivative accounting treatment and will be bifurcated from the notes and “marked to market” each reporting period through the income statement. The fair value of the conversion future of the notes was recognized as a derivative liability instrument and will be measured at fair value at each reporting period.
 
For the six months ended January 31, 2020, there were no initial recognition of derivative liabilities. For the comparable period, the Company initially recorded derivative liabilities of $33,000 for embedded conversion features of convertible notes payable.
 
For the six months ended January 31, 2020, there were no unrealised gains or losses due to the remeasurement of derivative securities. For the six months ended January 31, 2019, the Company recorded an unrealised loss of $1,899 due to remeasurement of derivative securities.
 
For the six months ended January 31, 2020, there were no gains or losses on settlement of derivative liabilities. For the comparable period, the Company recorded a gain on settlement of derivative liability of $5,310.
 
At January 31, 2020 and 2019, the derivative liability associated with the note conversion features was $1,500 and $11,819, respectively.
 
These derivative liabilities have been measured in accordance with fair value measurements, as defined by ASC 820. The valuation assumptions are classified within Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The following table represents the Company’s derivative liability activity for the embedded conversion features discussed above:

Six months ended January 31, 2020 compared to the six months ended January 31, 2019.
 
Revenues
 
The Company generated $1,087,816 revenues from related parties during the six months ended January 31, 2020 as compared to $1,349,485 for the six months ended January 31, 2019. The Company generated $670,783 revenues from third party for the six months ended January 31, 2020 compared to $2,752 for the six months ended January 31, 2019.
 
Cost of goods sold
 
During the six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, costs of goods sold were $57,224 and $138,502, respectively. The Company recognized the value of stock options granted to consultants in terms of the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan as cost of goods sold. This recognition was based on the fact that the Stock Options directly contributed to the revenue generated by the Company’s GM2 asset. The decrease in cost of goods was due to the adoption of new accounting standard ASU 2018-07, in which the Company is not required to re-value options at each reporting date.

General and administrative Expenses
 
During the six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, general and administrative expenses were $297,149 and $221,616 respectively.

Compensation Expense – Acquisition Cost - Related Party
 
During the six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, loss on contingent liability - related party expense was $0 and $84,082. The acquisition cost was a result of an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into on February 28, 2018, with Luxor Capital, LLC (“Luxor”), which is wholly owned by Company’s Chief Executive Officer Anthony Goodman. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased certain Intellectual Property and Know-how (the “GM2 Asset”) and 50% of the revenues generated by the GM2 Asset during the 12-month period of March 1, 2018 to February 28, 2019 would be paid to Luxor. The Company does have such expenses during this financial year.

Amortization Expense
 
During the six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, amortization expenses were $385,024 and $114,180, respectively. The increasing of amortization expense was due to the stock options granted in the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan.
 
Interest Expense
 
During the six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, interest expense was $26,227 and $7,994 respectively. The increase of interest expense was mainly due to the interest on the Promissory Note to Luxor and the imputed interest on the Settlement Payable to Luxor.

The Company had no unrealised gains or losses on derivative liabilities for the six months ended January 31, 2020, and had an unrealised loss on derivative liabilities of $1,899 for the six months ended January 31, 2019.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of July 31, 2018, due to the material weaknesses resulting from the Board of Directors not currently having any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on October 29, 2018 for a complete discussion relating to the foregoing evaluation of Disclosures and Procedures.
