GOLDEN MATRIX GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Operations

 

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’s business at the time was mining and exploration of mineral properties. On September 15, 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’s 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 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 Transition Report for the period from August 1, 2019 to January 31, 2020 on Form 10-KT filed with the SEC on June 8, 2020 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on July 15, 2020 and amended by Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on October 28, 2020).

 

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.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

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 authorized shares was reduced proportionally.

 

The reason for the reverse stock split was to increase the trading price of the Company’s Common Stock in an effort to meet the requirements to up list the Common Stock on to The NASDAQ Capital Market. As of the date of this Report, the Company has applied for the listing of its Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, but no such listing has been approved.

 

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 Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) 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 a variable amount depending on the Software Usage. The Company only recognizes the revenue at the month end when the usage occurs and the revenue is based on the actual Software Usage of its customers.

 

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

 

Earnings Per Common Share

 

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

 

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

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 or 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 FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, while nonemployee share-based payments issued for goods and services are accounted for under ASC 505-50. ASC 505-50 differs significantly from ASC 718. On June 20, 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (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 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.

 

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

 

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 such guidance, lessees are required to recognize all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the balance sheet as a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new standard was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard was adopted using a modified retrospective approach. 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 ASU 2018-07 and has adjusted the share-based compensation costs during the last fiscal year. The Company's management believes the new standard can best represent the Company’s operating results.

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

 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The outbreak of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), which was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, and the related responses by public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat its outbreak and spread has severely impacted the U.S. and world economies. Decreased demand for our products and services caused by COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Separately, economic recessions, including those brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak may have a negative effect on the demand for our products, services and our operating results. The range of possible impacts on the Company’s business from the coronavirus pandemic could include, but are not limited to: (i) changing demand for the Company’s products and services; (ii) the closure of, or reduction in the number of persons who may be present in, establishments using the Company’s technology (resulting in a decrease in demand for such technology); (iii) travel restrictions and stay at home orders; (iv) recessions and other economic contractions which may decrease the amount of discretionary spending available to consumers and/or the amount such consumers are willing to spend; and (v) increasing contraction in the capital markets. At this time, the Company believes that it is premature to determine the potential impact on the Company’s business prospects from these or any other factors that may be related to the coronavirus pandemic.

Convertible Note #2

 

On March 19, 2012, the Company received $30,000 cash from the issuance of a convertible promissory note in the amount of $30,000. The promissory note was unsecured, interest free and repayable upon demand. The note had a conversion price of $0.01 per share.

 

On August 1, 2019, the Company, Pursuant to “Chapter 104 - Uniform Commercial Code—Original Articles, NRS 104.3603 - Tender of payment. NV Rev Stat § 104.3603 (2013)” and other applicable law, issued a Notice of Tender to the Note Holder, Greenshoe LLC, by a registered letter. The Company tendered full payment for the then outstanding balance of the Note, in the amount of $30,000. Such tender of payment by the Company to Greenshoe LLC was in full discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Note #2. The registered letter was returned to sender “Address Unknown”.

Table of Contents

 

Due to the fact that the Company’s attempts to locate the Note Holder have been unsuccessful, on June 15, 2020, the Company filed an unclaimed property report and made a payment of $30,000 to the Nevada State Treasurer’s Unclaimed Property Division. The Division accepted the filing and drew the funds from the Company’s bank account on June 17, 2020. The Division will hold the $30,000 in perpetuity and publicly advertise the rightful owners’ information in an effort to return the fund. Pursuant to the Nevada’s Unclaimed Property program, once the funds are transferred to the Division, the Company is released from any liability for the repayment of the note.

 

As of October 31, 2020, the principal balance of this note was $0.

 

Convertible Note #59

 

On July 31, 2015 the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note with Direct Capital Group, Inc. in the sum of $240,000. The Promissory Note was unsecured, with an interest rate of 8% per annum, and matured on January 31, 2016. Any principal amount not paid by the maturity date bore interest at 22% per annum.

 

On April 26, 2016, $50,000 of the note was assigned to Blackbridge Capital, LLC (“Blackbridge”). Blackbridge failed to meet the terms of the Assignment and Assumption and was therefore in default of their obligations. The Company took legal advice regarding the breach of Blackbridge Capital LLC’s obligations. On June 2, 2016, the Company’s legal counsel, wrote to Blackbridge Capital advising them of the breach and also that the Company had cancelled the remaining balance on the note. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $47,151.

 

On July 21, 2016, $25,000 of the note was assigned to Istvan Elek. At any time, the note may be converted at the option of the holder into Common Stock of the Company. The conversion price is 50% of the market price, where market price is defined as “the lowest closing price on any day with a fifteen day look back”.

 

On September 22, 2016, the Company entered into a Cancellation and Release Agreement with Direct Capital Group, Inc. (“Direct”). Pursuant to the terms of the Cancellation and Release Agreement, Direct agreed to cancel the Convertible Promissory Note with the Company totaling $183,157. In consideration for the cancellation of the Convertible Promissory Note and pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 22, 2016, the Company agreed to transfer ownership of mining claims held in the Company’s name. It was also agreed by both the Company and Direct that Direct would release all future claims to subsequent conversions of the Notes and the Company would have no further obligation to Direct under those Convertible Notes and Direct would be forever barred from seeking further conversions or claiming obligations of the Company under the Convertible Notes. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $165,000 related to the agreement.

 

On August 1, 2019, the Company, Pursuant to “Chapter 104 - Uniform Commercial Code—Original Articles, NRS 104.3603 - Tender of payment. NV Rev Stat § 104.3603 (2013)” and other applicable law, issued a Notice of Tender to Istvan Elek by a registered letter. The Company tendered full payment for the then outstanding balance of the Note, in the amount of $12,424. Such tender of payment by the Company to Istvan Elek was in full discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Note #59. The registered letter was received by the counter party but the Company did not receive any responses from Istvan Elek until on August 6, 2020, when the Company received multiple telephone messages from Mr Elek’s attorney.

 

On August 10, 2020, Mr. Istvan Elek’s attorney and the Company have reached an agreement regarding the final payment to settle the convertible notes owed to Mr. Elek. The Company agreed to pay Mr. Istvan Elek $13,242 in total, including $10,000 of principal and $3,242 of accrued interest. On August 17, 2020, the Company made the payment to the designated bank account and the convertible note was settled.

 

As of October 31, 2020, there was no outstanding balance on the note.

Overview

 

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’s business at the time was mining and exploration of mineral properties.  In October 2009, the Company changed its name to Source Gold Corp. remaining in the business of acquiring exploration and development stage mineral properties. In April 2016, the Company changed its name to Golden Matrix Group, Inc., changing the direction of the Company’s business to focus on software technology. 

 

Beginning in 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 2020, 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 25%.

 

The Company believes that there is a significant opportunity to scale this new revenue stream with low related expenses and no capital expenditures 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. We believe that the unique technology, the Company’s location, focused resources and experience in this market provide the Company with a distinct advantage over other companies located in other parts of the world and having limited experience in Asia.

 

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes the infectious disease known as COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” on January 30, 2020 and a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. In March and April, many U.S. states and local jurisdictions began issuing ‘stay-at-home’ orders. The range of possible impacts on the Company’s business from the coronavirus pandemic could include: (i) changing demand for the Company’s products and services; (ii) rising bottlenecks in the Company’s supply chain; and (iii) increasing contraction in the capital markets. At this time, the Company believes that it is premature to determine the potential impact on the Company’s business prospects from these or any other factors that may be related to the coronavirus pandemic; however, it is possible that COVID-19 and the worldwide response thereto, may have a material negative effect on our operations, cash flows and results of operations.

Table of Contents

 

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

 

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

 

Results of Operations

 

Three months ended October 31, 2020, compared to the three months ended October 31, 2019.

 

Revenues

During the three months ended October 31, 2019, the Company generated $881,845 of revenues from its IP and technology systems, including $519,569 which was from Articulate.

During the three months ended October 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 under 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 October 31, 2020 and 2019, cost of goods sold due to the amortization of options was $75,934 and $32,193, respectively. The increase in the cost of goods sold was due to the options issued during this financial year.

 

From June 2020, due to the reselling of the gaming content, the cost of usage of the third-party content is recognised as a cost of goods sold. During the three months ended October 31, 2020, $543,108 of costs were recognised. During the same period last year, there were no such costs.

The Company recognized the value of stock options granted to consultants under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan as cost of goods sold. This recognition was based on the fact that the Stock Options directly contributed to the revenue generated by the Company’s GM2 Asset. During the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, cost of goods sold due to the amortization of options was $164,762 and $(84,311), 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.   

 

Recently 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 nine months ended October 31, 2020, $880,508 of costs were recognised. During the same period last year, there were no such costs.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

During the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, general and administrative expenses were $414,965 and $275,309, respectively. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of advertising and promotion expenses, travel expenses, website maintenance expenses, and administrative expenses. The increase of general and administrative expenses was mainly due to the marketing compensation granted to one of the Company’s customers. As per the Company’s Software Services Agreement with the customer, if the customer reaches a certain amount of usage, the customer is granted marketing compensation.

 

General and administrative expenses – Related party

 

During the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, general and administrative expenses from related parties were $1,312,842 and $398,735, respectively. General and administrative expenses from related parties consisted primarily of amortization expenses due to stock options granted to Directors, back office expenses, consulting expenses and salary expenses payable to our CEO and CFO. The components of general and administrative expenses from related parties are as follows:

Total

 

$ 1,312,842

 

 

$ 398,735

 

 

The increase of amortization expense was due to the stock options granted to Mr. Anthony Brian Goodman, CEO and Ms. Weiting Feng, CFO, on September 19, 2019, and options granted to the three Independent Directors during this financial year, under the terms of the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

The increase of back office expense was due to the Second Amendment to Back Office Agreement with Articulate which the Company entered into on August 1, 2019. Pursuant to the amendment, both parties agreed that the back office expense increased from $5,500 per month to $11,000 per month beginning in August 2019.

Table of Contents

 

The increase of consulting expense was due to the increasing number of Directors and consulting services provided by Mr. Brett Goodman, a consultant, and the son of our CEO, who has been engaged to assist the Company with building Peer to Peer gaming system.

 

Bad debt expense

 

During the nine months ended October 31, 2020, there were no bad debt expenses. During the same period last year, bad debt expenses were $168,557. The Company recognised an allowance for doubtful debts for accounts receivable from Red Label Technology Pty Ltd on July 31, 2019.

 

Loss on contingent liability – Related party

 

During the nine months ended October 31, 2020, there was no loss on contingent liability to related party. During the nine months ended October 31, 2019, the loss on contingent liability was $6,791. The loss on contingent liability was a result of an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into on February 28, 2018, with Luxor, which is wholly-owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Brian Goodman. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased certain Intellectual Property and Know-how (the "GM2 Asset") and agreed that 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. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018, the Company estimated a number for the acquisition cost at $1,242,812. The acquisition cost during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019 was an adjustment to the estimated number.

 

Research and development expense

 

During the nine months ended October 31, 2020, the research and development expense was $18,671. The research and development expense was incurred in connection with the building of the Company’s Proprietary Peer to Peer gaming system. During the same period last year, there was no research and development expense. 

 

Professional fees

 

During the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, professional fees were $110,336 and $49,378, respectively. Professional fees consisted primarily of SEC filing fees, legal fees, transfer agent service fees and accounting and audit fees. The increase in professional fees was mainly due to the corporate actions during this financial year including the change of fiscal year, stock reverse split and NASDAQ application, which increased the legal service fees and auditing expenses.  

 

Interest expense

 

During the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, interest expense was $10,897 and $53,746, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was mainly due to the decrease in the outstanding balance of notes payable.

 

Interest income

 

During the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, interest income was $1,570 and $17,406, respectively. The interest income was from the Wells Fargo Saving account which the Company opened in February 2019.

Foreign exchange gain (loss)

 

During the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, foreign exchange loss was $14,320 and $0, respectively. The foreign exchange loss was due to foreign currency invoices the Company received from its supplier.

 

Unrealized gain (loss) on derivative liabilities - Note Conversion Feature

 

The Company had no unrealised loss on derivative liabilities for the nine months ended October 31, 2020, and had an unrealised gain on derivative liabilities of $984 for the nine months ended July 31, 2019. On January 31, 2020, the Company settled all the outstanding derivative liabilities.

 

Net income

 

The Company had net income of $345,922 and $1,562,006 for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease of net income was primarily due to an increase in cost of goods sold as a result of options granted to consultants, stock-based compensation, and other expenses, as discussed in greater details above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company had $5,009,996 of cash on hand at October 31, 2020 and total assets of $6,811,829 (all of which were current assets). The Company had total working capital of $5,854,060 as of October 31, 2020. The Company had total liabilities (which were all current liabilities) of $957,769 as of October 31, 2020, which included $66,803 of settlement payable to Luxor, a related party, $405,313 of accounts payable to related parties, $243,371 of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and $211,171 of customer deposits.

 

See Note 2 to the unaudited financial statements above for a description of outstanding notes payable; Note 4 to the unaudited financial statements for a description of customer deposits; and Note 5 to the unaudited financial statements for a description of related party transactions.

 

We do not currently have any additional commitments or identified sources of additional capital from third parties or from our officers, directors or majority stockholders. Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.

 

In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling additional debt or equity securities, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then stockholders. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. In the event we are unable to raise additional funding and/or obtain revenues sufficient to support our expenses, we may be forced to scale down our operations, which could cause our securities to decline in value.

 

Cash flows from operating activities include net income adjusted for certain non-cash expenses, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Significant non-cash expenses for the period include stock-based compensation and imputed interest.

 

The Company generated cash from operating activities of $1,799,079 during the nine months ended October 31, 2020 due primarily to $345,922 of net income, and non-cash expenses relating to stock-based compensation (including options issued for services and stock issued for services) which were $1,234,257 during the nine months ended October 31, 2020.

Table of Contents

 

The Company generated cash from operating activities of $1,584,931 in the nine months ended October 31, 2019 due primarily to $1,562,006 of net income, and $168,557 of bad debt expense, offset by a net of ($332,796) in changes in operating assets and liabilities during the nine months ended October 31, 2019.

 

During the nine months ended October 31, 2020, cash provided by financing activities was $1,354,412 which was primarily due to the sales of equity securities in August, 2020 in a private placement as discussed in “Note 6 – Equity”. During the nine months ended October 31, 2019, cash used in financing activities was $398,313, which was due to the repayment of Promissory Note owed to Luxor.

 

Material Events and Uncertainties

 

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

 

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

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

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

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

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 October 31, 2020. This evaluation was carried out by our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of October 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, is recorded properly, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as discussed below.

 

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 October 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective:

 

 

1.

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.

 

2.

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

 

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

 

Moving forward, the Company plans to add sufficient knowledgeable accounting personnel to properly segregate duties and to affect a timely, accurate preparation of the financial statements. And the Company will develop and maintain adequate written policies and procedures to identify, approve and authorize related party transactions.

   

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting to ensure we maintain an effective internal control environment. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In addition, we are not aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings against us, or contemplated to be brought against us.

 

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Transition Report on Form 10-KT/A for the transition period from August 1, 2019 to January 31, 2020, filed with the Commission on October 28, 2020 (the “Form 10-KT”), under the heading “Risk Factors”, and investors should review the risks provided in the Form 10-KT prior to making an investment in the Company. The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in the Form 10-KT, under “Risk Factors”, which risk factors from the Form 10-KT are incorporated by reference in this Item 1A. Risk Factors, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.
