On June 26, 2020, the Company completed a 1-for-150 reverse stock split with respect to the Company’s Common Stock. The reverse stock split had no effect on the par value of the Common Stock. The number of authorised shares was reduced proportionally.

 

The reason for the reverse stock split was to meet the requirements to up list on The Nasdaq Capital Market, which pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5505(a) requires that the minimum closing price of the Common Stock should be $3 for at least five consecutive business days.

 

For purposes of presentation, the consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been adjusted for the number of post-split shares as if the split had occurred at the earliest period presented.

 

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.

Revenues

 

The Company currently has two distinctive revenue streams.

 

1. The Company charges gaming operators for the use of its unique IP and technology systems.

 

2. The Company acquires the third-party gaming content for a fixed cost and resells the content at a margin.

 

According to Topic 606, Revenue Recognition, our company recognizes revenues 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.

 

For the first revenue stream, 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 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 second revenue stream, the Company acts as an agent and provides a third-party gaming content which is utilised by the client. The counterparty pays consideration in exchange for the gaming content utilised. 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.

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.

 

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 adopted 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.

Table of Contents

 

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.

On January 3, 2018, the Company adopted a “2018 Equity Incentive Plan” to attract and retain the best available personnel, to provide incentive to certain individuals providing to the Company and to promote the success of the Company’s business and thereby enhance long-term shareholder value.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased certain Intellectual Property and Know-how (the "GM2 Asset"), in exchange, the Company issued 4,166,667 shares of common stock, and an Earnout Note calculated at 50% of the revenues generated by the GM2 Asset during the 12-month period of March 1, 2018 to February 28, 2019 to Luxor.

On September 10, 2018, the Company entered into Settlement Agreement with Luxor Capital LLC (“Luxor”) whereby the parties agreed to release each other from any, and all liabilities relating to the Convertible Promissory Note. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay out the remaining balance of the note totalling $649,414 by converting $209,414 into common stock at a conversion price $0.15, by making a payment of $150,000 and by entering into an interest free loan for the balance of $290,000, such loan to be repaid in two equal instalments of $145,000 on the 10th September 2019 and 10th September 2020.

 

On March 1, 2019, the Company entered into a license agreement with Red Label Technology Pte Ltd. The Company agreed to license a single component of the “GM2 System”, which is the “Credit Based Agency System”, to support its distribution of a portfolio of Chinese table games, the “3 Kingdom Games”( “3K”).

 

From June 2020, the Company launched an additional revenue stream which is distinctive to its other revenue streams. Historically the company charged gaming operators for the use of its unique IP and technology systems. Revenues derived from such charges were based on the usage of the proprietary systems by the clients and generated revenues with high margins.

 

During June and July, the Company contracted with certain clients to offer third party gaming content and as such became a distributor and reseller of this gaming content. The Company acquires the third-party gaming content for a fixed cost and resells the content at a margin. The Margin on the new revenues is substantially lower than the historical revenues and expected to be around 18%.

 

The Company believes that there is a significant opportunity to scale this new revenue stream with low related expenses and no capital expenditure and also to expand its global reach. The new revenue stream is highly scalable i.e. the running and support costs relative to the incremental revenues are low, and will reduce exponentially as a percentage of revenues as revenues grow. The Company will strive to roll out this new product offering to its existing client base and expects to scale up its revenues as a result.

 

Plan of Operation

 

GMGI has developed and acquired unique valuable technology that provides a social online gaming platform for operators.

 

Whilst there are a number of companies that provide similar products for social online gaming operators, the Company has unique IP and is focused on the Asian market. The unique technology, company’s location, focused resources and experience in this market provide the Company with a distinct advantage over other company’s located in other parts of the world and having limited experience in Asia.

 

Results of Operations

 

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

 

Revenues

 

The Company currently has two distinctive revenue streams.

During the three months ended July 31, 2019, the Company generated $792,807 revenues from its IP and technology systems, among which, $505,560 was from its related party.

 

From June 2020, the company has contracted with certain clients to offer third party gaming content and as such become a reseller of this gaming content. During the three months ended July 31, 2020, $410,555 revenues were derived from the reselling of gaming content. During the three months ended July 31, 2019, there were no revenues from the reselling of gaming content.

Cost of goods sold

 

The Company currently has two distinctive cost of goods sold.

 

Historically, the Company only 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. During the three months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, costs of goods sold due to the amortization of options were $57,332 and $(331,353), respectively. The negative cost of goods sold during last year 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. And the Company made an adjustment to revalue the previous costs.

 

From June 2020, due to the reselling of the gaming content, the cost of usage of the third-party content is recognised as cost of goods sold. During the three months ended July 31, 2020, $337,400 costs were recognised. During the same period last year, there were no such costs.

The increase of general and administrative expenses was mainly due to the penalty in a total amount of $29,988 from the Office of the State Treasurer, which the Company recorded as an administrative expense. More details regarding the penalty were covered in Note 4 – Contingent Liability.

During the three months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, general and administrative expenses from related parties were $405,373 and $95,169, respectively.

The increase of back office expense was due to the Second Amendment to Back Office Agreement with Articulate Pty Ltd the Company entered on August 1, 2019. Both Parties agreed that the back office expense increased from $5,500 per month to $11,000 per month from August 2019. More details are covered in Note 6.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) as of July 31, 2020. This evaluation was carried out by our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Finance Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Finance Officer concluded that, as of July 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses, which have caused management to conclude that, as of July 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective:

 

1. Lack of oversight by sufficient independent directors in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;

2. Lack of functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;

3. Insufficient personnel resources within the accounting function to segregate the duties over financial transaction processing and reporting and to allow for proper monitoring controls over accounting;

4. Insufficient written policies and procedures over accounting transaction processing and period end financial disclosure and reporting processes;

5. The company did not establish a formal written policy for the approval, identification and authorization of related party transactions.

Table of Contents

 

Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The company plans to take the following steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

1. The Company will add sufficient number of independent directors to the board and appoint an audit committee.

2. The Company will add sufficient knowledgeable accounting personnel to properly segregate duties and to effect a timely, accurate preparation of the financial statements.

3. Upon the hiring of additional accounting personnel, the Company will develop and maintain adequate written accounting policies and procedures.

  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

As of August 25, 2020, the Company had three independent Directors as Board members. And the Company has set up an Audit Committee with Mr Murray Smith being the Chairman of the Committee and Mr. Thomas McChesney being a member of the Committee. Mr. Smith is a licensed Certified Public Accountant with over 27 years of accounting and finance leadership experience. The Company believes that the introduce of the independent Directors and the set up of Audit Committee will definitely strengthen the Company’s corporate governance, improve the internal control and financial reporting.

 

The Company also adopted a written policy regarding the Corporate Governance Principles,which addressed the approval, identification and authorization of related party transactions.

 

The Company is not required by current SEC rules to include, and does not include, an auditor's attestation report. The Company's registered public accounting firm has not attested to Management's reports on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
