On November 2, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate
of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to reflect its corporate
name change from Newgioco Group, Inc. to Elys Game Technology, Corp.
Established in the state of Delaware in 1998,
Elys Game Technology, Corp (“Elys” or the “Company”) is an international, vertically integrated commercial-stage
company engaged in various aspects of the leisure gaming industry. The Company is an Italian and Austrian licensed gaming operator
in the regulated Italian leisure betting market offering gaming services, including a variety of lottery, casino gaming and sports
betting products through two distribution channels: an online channel and a land-based retail channel. Additionally, the Company
is a global gaming technology company (known as a “Provider”), which owns and operates a betting software designed
with a unique “distributed model” (“shop-client”) software architecture colloquially named Elys Game Board
(the “Platform”). The Platform is a fully integrated “omni-channel” framework that combines centralized
technology for updating, servicing and operations with multi-channel functionality to accept all forms of customer payment through
the two distribution channels described above. The omni-channel software design is fully integrated with a built-in player gaming
account management system and sports book.

In January 2019, in connection with the acquisition
of VG, the Company acquired Naos Holdings Limited. The Company distributed all of the earnings of Naos Holdings Limited and the
remaining Naos legal entity was dissolved with effect from December 31, 2019.
The operations of the Company’s prior
subsidiary, Rifa Srl, were absorbed into the operations of Multigioco Srl with effect from January 30, 2020, and the remaining
Rifa legal entity was dissolved with effect from January 20, 2020.
The Company operates in two lines of business:
(i) provider of certified betting platform software services to leisure betting establishments in Italy and 9 other countries and;
(ii) the operating of web based as well as land-based leisure betting establishments situated throughout Italy. The Company’s
operations are carried out through the following three geographically organized groups:
a)
an operational group is based in Europe and maintains administrative offices headquartered in Rome,
Italy with satellite offices for operations administration in Naples and Teramo, Italy and San Gwann, Malta;
b)
a technology group which is based in Innsbruck, Austria and manages software development, training
and administration; and
c)
a corporate group which is based in North America and maintains an
executive suite in San Francisco, California and a Canadian office in Toronto, through which we carry-out corporate activities,
handle day-to-day reporting and U.S. development planning, and through which various employees, independent contractors and vendors
are engaged.
The entire disclosure for the nature of an entity's business, major products or services, principal markets including location, and the relative importance of its operations in each business and the basis for the determination, including but not limited to, assets, revenues, or earnings. For an entity that has not commenced principal operations, disclosures about the risks and uncertainties related to the activities in which the entity is currently engaged and an understanding of what those activities are being directed toward.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
For the purposes of its listing in Canada,
the Company is an “SEC Issuer” as defined under National Instrument 52-107 “Accounting Principles and Audit
Standards” and is relying on the exemptions of Section 3.7 of NI 52-107 and of Section 1.4(8) of the Companion Policy
to National Instrument 51-102 “Continuous Disclosure Obligations” (“NI 51-102CP”) which permits
the Company to prepare its financial statements in accord with U.S. GAAP.
b) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include
the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All significant inter-company transactions
are eliminated upon consolidation.
Certain items in the prior periods were reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation.
All amounts referred to in the Notes to the
consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.
c) Foreign operations
The Company translated the assets and liabilities
of its foreign subsidiaries into US Dollars at the exchange rate in effect at year end and the results of operations and cash flows
at the average rate throughout the year. The translation adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of stockholders’
equity, while transaction gains (losses) are included in net income (loss).
All revenues were generated in Euro and Colombian Pesos during the
years presented.
Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions
are recognized in current operations.
d) Business Combinations
The Company allocates the fair value of purchase
consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The
excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded
as goodwill.
Such valuations require management to make
significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible
assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired technology, and trade names from
a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions
believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from
estimates.
e) Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with GAAP 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue
and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include
valuing equity securities issued in share-based payment arrangements, determining the fair value of assets acquired, allocation
of purchase price, impairment of long-lived intangible assets and goodwill, the collectability of receivables, leasing arrangements,
convertible debentures, contingencies and the value of deferred taxes and related valuation allowances. Certain estimates, including
evaluating the collectability of receivables and advances, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to
the Company’s industry and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on
the Company’s estimates that could cause actual results to differ from the Company’s estimates. The Company re-evaluates
all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and records adjustments when necessary.
f) Loss Contingencies
The Company may be subject to claims, suits,
government investigations, and other proceedings involving competition and antitrust, intellectual property, privacy, indirect
taxes, labor and employment, commercial disputes, content generated by our users, goods and services offered by advertisers or
publishers using the Company’s website platforms, and other matters. Certain of these matters include speculative claims
for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is both probable
that a loss has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is possible, and
a range of the loss can be reasonably estimated, it discloses the range of the possible loss in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The Company evaluates, on a regular basis,
developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and the matters and
related ranges of possible losses disclosed and makes adjustments and changes to our disclosures as appropriate. Significant judgment
is required to determine both likelihood of there being and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters. Until the final
resolution of such matters, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts could be material.
Should any of the Company’s estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material impact
on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
To date, none of these types of litigation
matters, most of which are typically covered by insurance, has had a material impact on the Company’s operations or financial
condition. The Company has insured and continues to insure against most of these types of claims.
g) Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,
defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in
the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the
measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that
are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little
or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market
participant would use.
The carrying value of the Company's accounts
receivables, gaming accounts receivable, lines of credit - bank, accounts payable, gaming accounts payable and bank loans payable
approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
h) Derivative Financial Instruments
ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that,
if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative
financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded
derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the
hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value
under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur
and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument
subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be
conventional, as described.
The Company determined that the conversion
feature of the convertible debt issued in May 2018 did not qualify as a derivative liability and is not bifurcated from the host
instrument but contains a beneficial conversion feature.
i) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt
instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents
as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The Company primarily places cash balances
in the U.S. with high-credit quality financial institutions located in the United States which are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation up to a limit of $250,000 per institution, in Canada which are insured by the Canadian Deposit Insurance
Corporation up to a limit of CDN $100,000 per institution, in Italy which is insured by the Italian deposit guarantee fund Fondo
Interbancario di Tutela dei Depositi (FITD) up to a limit of €100,000 per institution, and in Germany which is a member of
the Deposit Protection Fund of the Association of German Banks (Einlagensicherungsfonds des Bundesverbandes deutscher Banken) up
to a limit of €100,000 per institution.
j) Gaming Accounts Receivable
Gaming accounts receivable represent gaming
deposits made by customers to their online gaming accounts either directly by credit card, bank wire, e-wallet or other accepted
method through one of our websites or indirectly by cash collected at the cashier of a betting shop but not yet credited to the
Company’s bank accounts and subject to normal trade collection terms without discounts. The Company periodically evaluates
the collectability of its gaming accounts receivable and considers the need to record or adjust an allowance for doubtful accounts
based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Actual amounts could vary from the recorded estimates.
The Company does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company recorded a bad debt expense of $90,705 and
$163,942 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. All balances previously recorded as allowance for doubtful
accounts were written off as uncollectible.
k) Gaming Accounts Payable
Gaming accounts payable represent customer
balances, including winnings and deposits, that are held as credits in online gaming accounts and have not as of yet been used
or withdrawn by the customers. Customers can request payment of winnings from the Company at any time and the payment to customers
can be made through bank wire, credit card, or cash disbursement from one of our locations. Online gaming account credit balances
are non-interest bearing.
l) Long Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value of
its long-lived assets for impairment by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets to the net book value
of the assets when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. If the
expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the excess of the net book value over the
estimated fair value will be charged to earnings.
Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows
of the assets at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of asset and prevailing market conditions, appraisals, and, if appropriate,
current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers.
m) Property, Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at acquisition
cost less accumulated depreciation and adjustments for impairment losses. Expenditures are capitalized only when they increase
the future economic benefits embodied in an item of plant and equipment. All other expenditures are recognized as expenses in the
statement of operations as incurred.
Depreciation is charged on a straight-line
basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the individual assets. Amortization commences from the time an asset is put
into operation. The range of the estimated useful lives is as follows:
Description
Useful Life
(in years)
Leasehold improvements
Life of the underlying lease
Computer and office equipment
3
to 5
Furniture and fittings
7 to 10
Computer Software
3 to 5
Vehicles
4 to 5
n) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are stated at acquisition
cost less accumulated amortization, if applicable, less any adjustments for impairment losses.
Amortization is charged on a straight-line
basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the individual intangibles. Where intangibles are deemed to be impaired the
Company recognizes an impairment loss measured as the difference between the estimated fair value of the intangible and its book
value.
The range of the estimated useful lives is
as follows:
Description
Useful Life

The Ulisse Bookmaker License has no expiration
date and is therefore not amortized but is tested from impairment on an annual basis in terms of ASC 350 using estimated fair
value.
o) Goodwill
The Company allocates the fair value of purchase
consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The
excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded
as goodwill.
Such valuations require management to make
significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible
assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired technology, and trade names from
a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions
believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from
estimates.
The Company annually assesses whether the carrying
value of its reporting unit exceeds its fair value and, if necessary, records an impairment loss equal to any such excess. Each
interim reporting period, the Company assesses whether events or circumstances have occurred which indicate that the carrying amount
of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an asset impairment
charge will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
In terms of ASC 350, the Company skipped the
requirement to perform a qualitative assessment and performed a quantitative assessment on its goodwill as of December 31, 2020
and determined that an impairment was not considered necessary.
p) Leases
The Company accounts for leases in terms of
ASC 842. In terms of ASC 842, the Company assesses whether any asset based leases entered into for periods longer than twelve months
meet the definition of financial leases or operation leases, by evaluating the terms of the lease, including the following; the
duration of the lease; the implied interest rate in the lease; the cash flows of the lease; and whether the Company intends to
retain ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term.
Leases which imply that the Company will retain
ownership at the end of the lease term are classified as financial leases, are included in plant and equipment with a corresponding
financial liability raised at the date of lease inception. Interest incurred on financial leases are expensed using the effective
interest rate method.
Leases which imply that the Company will not
acquire the asset at the end of the lease term are classified as operating leases, the Company’s right to use the asset is
reflected as a non-current right of use asset with a corresponding operational lease liability raised at the date of lease inception.
The right of use asset and the operational lease liability are amortized over the right of use period using the effective interest
rate implied in the operating lease agreement.
q) Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method
of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense
is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary
differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. 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 on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates
is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to
reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely
than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
ASC Topic 740-10-40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
In Italy, tax years beginning 2016 forward,
are open and subject to examination, while in Austria companies are open and subject to inspection for five years and ten years
for inspection of serious infractions. In the United States and Canada, tax years beginning 2016 forward, are subject to examination.
The Company is not currently under examination and it has not been notified of a pending examination.
r) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control
of its products and services is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to
receive from its customers in exchange for those products and services. Revenues from sports-betting, casino, cash and skill games,
slots, bingo and horse race wagers represent the gross pay-ins (also referred to as turnover) from customers less gaming taxes
and payouts to customers. Revenues are recorded when the game is closed which is representative of the point in time at which the
Company has satisfied its performance obligation. In addition, the Company receives commissions from the sale of scratch tickets
and other lottery games. Commissions are recorded when the ticket for scratch off tickets and lottery tickets are sold.
Revenues from the Betting Platform include
software licensing fees, training, installation, and product support services. The Company does not sell its proprietary software.
Revenue is recognized when transfer of control to the customer has been made and the Company’s performance obligation has
been fulfilled. License fees are calculated as a percentage of each licensee’s level of activity and are contingent upon
the licensee’s usage. The license fees are recognized on an accrual basis as earned.
s) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records its compensation expense
associated with stock options and other forms of equity compensation based on their fair value at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. Stock-based compensation includes amortization related to stock option awards based on the estimated grant
date fair value. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the
option. In addition, the Company records expense related to Restricted Stock Units (“RSU’s”) granted based on
the fair value of those awards on the grant date. The fair value related to the RSUs is amortized to expense over the vesting term
of those awards. Forfeitures of stock options and RSUs are recognized as they occur.
Stock-based compensation expense for a stock-based
award with a performance condition is recognized when the achievement of such performance condition is determined to be probable.
If the outcome of such performance condition is not determined to be probable or is not met, no compensation expense is recognized
and any previously recognized compensation expense is reversed.
t) Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the
change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources,
including foreign currency translation adjustments.
u) Earnings Per Share
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, “Earnings Per Share” provides for calculation of “basic”
and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income
(loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per
share reflects the dilutive impact on the number of shares outstanding should they be exercised. Securities that have the potential
to dilute shareholder's interests include unexercised stock options and warrants as well as unconverted debentures.
On December 12, 2019, the Company effected
an 1 for 8 reverse stock split, all references made to share or per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
v) Related Parties
Parties are considered to be related to the
Company if the parties directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common
control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate
families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls
or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties
might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions
are recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged.
w) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which replaces
the incurred loss methodology with an expected credit loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss
(CECL) methodology. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.
The amendments in this update are required to be applied using the modified retrospective method with an adjustment to accumulated
deficit and are effective for the Company beginning with fiscal year 2020, including interim periods. The measurement of expected
credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables
and held-to-maturity debt securities. An entity with trade receivables will be required to use historical loss information, current
conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts to determine expected lifetime credit losses. Pooling of assets with similar
risk characteristics is also required.
Since adopted on January 1, 2020, there
has not been any material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures.
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740).
The Amendments in this update reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to accounting
for income taxes and deferred taxes and simplifying the accounting treatment of franchise taxes, a step up in the tax basis of
goodwill as part of business combinations, the allocation of current and deferred tax to a legal entity not subject to tax in its
own financial statements, reflecting changes in tax laws or rates in the annual effective rate in interim periods that include
the enactment date and minor codification improvements.
This ASU is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020.
The effects of this ASU on the Company’s
financial statements is not considered to be material.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06,
debt with Conversion and Other Options (subtopic 470-20): and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
(Subtopic 815-40). Certain accounting models for convertible debt instruments with beneficial conversion features or cash conversion
features are removed from the guidance and for equity instruments the contracts affected are free standing instruments and embedded
features that are accounted for as derivatives, the settlement assessment was simplified by removing certain settlement requirements.
This ASU is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021.
The effects of this ASU on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements is currently being assessed and is expected to have an impact on the treatment of certain
The FASB issued several additional updates
during the period, none of these standards are either applicable to the Company or require adoption at a future date and none are
expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
x) Reporting by segment
The Company has two operating segments from
which it derives revenue. These segments are:
(i)
the operating of web based as well as land based leisure betting
establishments situated throughout Italy, and
(ii)
provider of certified betting Platform software services to leisure
betting establishments in Italy and 9 other countries.
y) Comparative
Certain expenses amounting to $2,000,579, classified
as selling expenses in the prior year were reclassified as general and administrative expenses for comparative purposes. These
expenses are related to operating our betting platforms and are more accurately reflected as general and administrative expenses,
in line with our current operations.
These reclassifications had no impact on net
loss or comprehensive loss.
On January 30, 2019, the Company entered into
a Share Exchange Agreement (“VG SPA”), with the shareholders of Virtual Generation (“VG”) organized under
the laws of Republic of Malta (the “Sellers”) and acquired all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of VG.,
together with all the ordinary shares of Naos Holding Limited, a company organized under the laws of Republic of Malta (“Naos”)
that owned 3,999 of the 4,000 issued and outstanding ordinary shares of VG. VG owns and has developed a virtual gaming software
platform. The prior non-operating holding company subsidiary Naos was discontinued with effect on December 31, 2019.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the
Closing Date, the Company agreed to pay the Sellers the previously agreed to consideration of €4,000,000 ($4,576,352) in consideration
for all the ordinary shares of VG and Naos, on the Closing Date as follows:
(i)
a cash payment of €108,000;
(ii)
the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock valued
at €89,000; and
(iii)
the delivery of a non-interest bearing promissory note of €3,803,000,
providing for the payment of:
(a)
an aggregate of €2,392,000 in cash in
23 equal and consecutive monthly instalments of €104,000 with the first such payment due and payable on the date that was
one month after the Closing Date; and
(b)
an aggregate of €1,411,000 in shares of the Company’s
common stock in 17 equal and consecutive monthly instalments of €83,000 as determined by the average of the closing prices
of such shares on the last 10 trading days immediately preceding the determination date of each monthly issuance, which issuances
commenced on March 1, 2019.
The €3,803,000 promissory note was originally
recorded as a liability owing to related parties of €1,521,200 (Note 15) and to third parties of €2,281,800 (Note 12).
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement
that the Company entered into with VG, the Company agreed to pay the sellers of VG an earnout payment in shares of our common stock
equal to an aggregate amount of €500,000 (approximately $561,500), if the amounts of bets made by users of the VG platform
grew by more than 5% for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. Based on the 18,449,380
tickets sold in 2019 the VG sellers qualified for the earnout payment of 132,735 shares of common stock at a price of $4.23 per
share, which shares were issued effective January 2020. The earnout payment was considered remote at the time of entering into
the transaction and was not recorded as a component of deferred purchase consideration, accordingly it has been expensed through
the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2019.
In terms of the agreement, the purchase price
was allocated to the fair market value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as follows:

The Company evaluates intangible assets for
impairment on an annual basis during the last month of each year and at an interim date if indications of impairment exist. Intangible
asset impairment is determined by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount with an impairment being recognized
only when the fair value is less than carrying value and the impairment is deemed to be permanent in nature.
In assessing the impairment of indefinite
lived licenses, the Company first performed a qualitative impairment test to determine if any impairment indicators were present,
impairment indicators were noted for indefinite life intangibles assets in the Ulisse operation.
The impairment process used was as follows:
·
based on qualitative impairment indicators bring present;
·
the Company utilized managements December 2020 annual operational
budget cash flows for the 2021 together with forecasted cash flows for the next four year period ending in 2025;
·
the budgeted and forecasted cash flows were adjusted for taxation
at the Company’s current effective tax rate;
·
working capital cash flow movements were estimated for the budget
and the forecast period using historical experience;
·
plant and equipment cash flow additions for the budget and forecast
period were estimated using historical experience and known cash flows;
·
net cash flow as determined by the above, were forecast in perpetuity
by using the forecast growth rate and the Company’s estimated Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”);
·
The forecast future cash flows were discounted back to present value
using the WACC;
·
WACC was determined by comparing the Company’s beta to that
of certain peer companies and determining what a reasonable WACC was compared to our calculated internal WACC, we determined that
due to recent volatility in the Company’s common stock price that a reasonable peer WACC is 10%.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the closure
of our land-based operations in the Italian market for an extended period of time and as the pandemic evolves and the markets in
which the Company operates continue to experience resurgences of the virus, we are uncertain as to the long-term impact on the
Company’s land-based operations. As such, the Company has made a strategic decision to transfer its Ulisse customer relationships
in Italy to Multigioco ahead of license renewals which are expected to take place within the next one to two years. The combined
Multigioco and Ulisse business under the Multigioco entity, which is an Italian based operator, substantially increases the Company’s
market share in Italy, and may improve the possibility of renewing our Italian licenses. Ulisse is based in Austria and may be
at a disadvantage and at risk of losing its ability to operate in the Italian market when licenses are renewed. Ulisse will focus
on developing gaming solutions for the Austrian and other European markets in the near term. The license under which Ulisse operates
in Italy, is not transferable to Multigioco and accordingly, based on a quantitative impairment analysis, an impairment charge
of $4,900,000 is considered appropriate.
The Company believes that the remaining carrying
amounts of its intangible assets are recoverable. However, if adverse events were to occur or circumstances were to change indicating
that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable, the assets would be reviewed for impairment and the assets
may be further impaired.
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price
paid over the fair value of assets acquired, including any other identifiable intangible assets.
On January 30, 2019, the Company acquired Virtual
Generation Limited, as disclosed in Note 3 above. The goodwill on acquisition arose as the proceeds paid on acquisition exceeded
the fair value of the identifiable assets less assumed liabilities and imputed deferred tax liabilities on identifiable intangible
assets by $1,401,608.
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment
on an annual basis during the last month of each year and at an interim date if indications of impairment exist. Goodwill impairment
is determined by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount with an impairment being recognized only when the
fair value is less than carrying value and the impairment is deemed to be permanent in nature.
Investments in marketable securities consists
of 2,500,000 shares of Zoompass Holdings (“Zoompass”) and is accounted for at fair value, with changes recognized in
earnings.
On December 31, 2020, the shares of Zoompass
were last quoted at $0.187 per share on the OTC market, resulting in an unrealized gain recorded to earnings related to these securities
of $290,000, The Company recorded an unrealized loss of $97,500 for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The entire disclosure for financial instruments. This disclosure includes, but is not limited to, fair value measurements of short and long term marketable securities, international currencies forward contracts, and auction rate securities. Financial instruments may include hedging and non-hedging currency exchange instruments, derivatives, securitizations and securities available for sale at fair value. Also included are investment results, realized and unrealized gains and losses as well as impairments and risk management disclosures.
The Company maintains a $1,000,000 secured
revolving line of credit from Metropolitan Commercial Bank in New York, of which $500,000 was drawn as of December 31, 2020, which
bears a fixed rate of interest of 3.00% on the outstanding balance with an interest only monthly minimum payment, and no maturity
date as long as the security deposit of $1,000,000 remains in place, see Note 4.

gross value of the convertible debt;
(iv)

brokers were valued at $2,929,712 using a Black-Scholes valuation model. These warrants were equity classified with a
beneficial conversion feature.

Basic loss per share is based on the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is based on basic shares as determined above, plus
the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of “in-the-money” warrants using the treasury
stock method and the inclusion of all convertible securities, including convertible debentures, assuming these securities were
converted at the beginning of the period or at the time of issuance, if later. The computation of diluted net loss per share does
not assume the issuance of common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per share.
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
the following options, warrants and convertible debentures were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as the
result of the computation was anti-dilutive:
The Company is incorporated in the United States
of America and is subject to United States federal taxation. No provisions for income taxes have been made as the Company had no
U.S. taxable income for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
The Company's Italian subsidiaries are governed
by the income tax laws of Italy. The corporate tax rate in Italy is 27.9% (IRES at 24% plus IRAP ordinary at 3.9%) on income
reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.
The Company's Austrian subsidiaries are governed
by the income tax laws of Austria. The corporate tax rate in Austria is 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements
after appropriate tax adjustments.
The Company's Canadian subsidiary is governed
by the income tax laws of Canada and the Province of Ontario. The combined Federal and Provincial corporate tax rate in Canada
is 26.5% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.
The Company's Colombian subsidiary is governed
by the income tax laws of Colombia. The corporate tax rate in Colombia is 31% on income reported in the statutory financial statements
after appropriate tax adjustments.
The Company continues to evaluate the accounting
for uncertainty in tax positions at the end of each reporting period. The guidance requires companies to recognize in their financial
statements the impact of a tax position if the position is more likely than not of being sustained if the position were to be challenged
by a taxing authority. The position ascertained inherently requires judgment and estimates by management.
The reconciliation of income tax expense at
the U.S. statutory rate of 21% during 2020 and 2019, to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:

The Company has accumulated a net operating
loss carry forward (“NOL”) of approximately $17.9 million as of December 31, 2020 in the U.S. The U.S. NOL carry forward
includes adjustments based on prior year assessments of $0.3 million due the assessment of tax losses carried forward. Net operating
losses of $11.1 million expire from 2033 to 2037 and a further $6.8 million has an indefinite life. The company also has net operating
loss carry forwards in Italy, Austria and Malta of approximately €0.11 million ($0.15 million) and in Canada of approximately
CDN $0.4 million ($0.33 million). The use of these losses to reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient
taxable income prior to the expiration of the NOL. The Company periodically evaluates whether it is more likely than not that it
will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred income tax asset. At the present time, management cannot presently
determine when the Company will be able to generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset; accordingly, a
100% valuation allowance has been established to offset the asset.
Utilization of NOLs are subject to limitation
due to any ownership change (as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) which resulted in a change in business
direction. Unused limitations may be carried over to future years until the NOLs expire. Utilization of NOLs may also be limited
in any one year by alternative minimum tax rules.
Under Italian tax law, the operating loss
carryforwards available for offset against future profits can be used indefinitely. Operating loss carryforwards are only available
for offset against national income tax, up to the limit of 80% of taxable annual income. This restriction does not apply to the
operating loss incurred in the first three years of the Company's activity, which are therefore available for 100% offsetting.
Under Austrian tax law, the operating loss
carryforwards available for offset against future profits can be used indefinitely. Operating loss carryforwards are only available
for offset against national income tax, up to the limit of 75% of taxable annual income.
Under Canadian tax law, the operating loss
carryforwards available for offset against future profits can be used indefinitely.
The provisions for income taxes consist of
currently payable income tax in Italy, Malta and Austria and deferred tax movements on intangible assets.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events
through the date the financial statements were issued, other than disclosed above, we did not identify any other subsequent events
that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.
The entire disclosure for significant events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Examples include: the sale of a capital stock issue, purchase of a business, settlement of litigation, catastrophic loss, significant foreign exchange rate changes, loans to insiders or affiliates, and transactions not in the ordinary course of business.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).
For the purposes of its listing in Canada,
the Company is an “SEC Issuer” as defined under National Instrument 52-107 “Accounting Principles and Audit
Standards” and is relying on the exemptions of Section 3.7 of NI 52-107 and of Section 1.4(8) of the Companion Policy
to National Instrument 51-102 “Continuous Disclosure Obligations” (“NI 51-102CP”) which permits
the Company to prepare its financial statements in accord with U.S. GAAP.
The consolidated financial statements include
the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All significant inter-company transactions
are eliminated upon consolidation.
Certain items in the prior periods were reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation.
All amounts referred to in the Notes to the
consolidated financial statements are in United States Dollars ($) unless stated otherwise.
The Company translated the assets and liabilities
of its foreign subsidiaries into US Dollars at the exchange rate in effect at year end and the results of operations and cash flows
at the average rate throughout the year. The translation adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of stockholders’
equity, while transaction gains (losses) are included in net income (loss).
All revenues were generated in Euro and Colombian Pesos during the
years presented.
Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions
are recognized in current operations.
The Company allocates the fair value of purchase
consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The
excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded
as goodwill.
Such valuations require management to make
significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible
assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired technology, and trade names from
a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions
believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from
estimates.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with GAAP 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue
and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include
valuing equity securities issued in share-based payment arrangements, determining the fair value of assets acquired, allocation
of purchase price, impairment of long-lived intangible assets and goodwill, the collectability of receivables, leasing arrangements,
convertible debentures, contingencies and the value of deferred taxes and related valuation allowances. Certain estimates, including
evaluating the collectability of receivables and advances, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to
the Company’s industry and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on
the Company’s estimates that could cause actual results to differ from the Company’s estimates. The Company re-evaluates
all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and records adjustments when necessary.
The Company may be subject to claims, suits,
government investigations, and other proceedings involving competition and antitrust, intellectual property, privacy, indirect
taxes, labor and employment, commercial disputes, content generated by our users, goods and services offered by advertisers or
publishers using the Company’s website platforms, and other matters. Certain of these matters include speculative claims
for substantial or indeterminate amounts of damages. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is both probable
that a loss has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is possible, and
a range of the loss can be reasonably estimated, it discloses the range of the possible loss in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The Company evaluates, on a regular basis,
developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued, and the matters and
related ranges of possible losses disclosed and makes adjustments and changes to our disclosures as appropriate. Significant judgment
is required to determine both likelihood of there being and the estimated amount of a loss related to such matters. Until the final
resolution of such matters, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts could be material.
Should any of the Company’s estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material impact
on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
To date, none of these types of litigation
matters, most of which are typically covered by insurance, has had a material impact on the Company’s operations or financial
condition. The Company has insured and continues to insure against most of these types of claims.
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,
defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in
the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the
measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that
are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little
or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market
participant would use.
The carrying value of the Company's accounts
receivables, gaming accounts receivable, lines of credit - bank, accounts payable, gaming accounts payable and bank loans payable
approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that,
if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative
financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded
derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the
hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value
under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur
and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument
subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be
conventional, as described.
The Company determined that the conversion
feature of the convertible debt issued in May 2018 did not qualify as a derivative liability and is not bifurcated from the host
instrument but contains a beneficial conversion feature.
The Company considers all highly liquid debt
instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents
as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The Company primarily places cash balances
in the U.S. with high-credit quality financial institutions located in the United States which are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation up to a limit of $250,000 per institution, in Canada which are insured by the Canadian Deposit Insurance
Corporation up to a limit of CDN $100,000 per institution, in Italy which is insured by the Italian deposit guarantee fund Fondo
Interbancario di Tutela dei Depositi (FITD) up to a limit of €100,000 per institution, and in Germany which is a member of
the Deposit Protection Fund of the Association of German Banks (Einlagensicherungsfonds des Bundesverbandes deutscher Banken) up
to a limit of €100,000 per institution.
Gaming accounts receivable represent gaming
deposits made by customers to their online gaming accounts either directly by credit card, bank wire, e-wallet or other accepted
method through one of our websites or indirectly by cash collected at the cashier of a betting shop but not yet credited to the
Company’s bank accounts and subject to normal trade collection terms without discounts. The Company periodically evaluates
the collectability of its gaming accounts receivable and considers the need to record or adjust an allowance for doubtful accounts
based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Actual amounts could vary from the recorded estimates.
The Company does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company recorded a bad debt expense of $90,705 and
$163,942 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. All balances previously recorded as allowance for doubtful
accounts were written off as uncollectible.
Gaming accounts payable represent customer
balances, including winnings and deposits, that are held as credits in online gaming accounts and have not as of yet been used
or withdrawn by the customers. Customers can request payment of winnings from the Company at any time and the payment to customers
can be made through bank wire, credit card, or cash disbursement from one of our locations. Online gaming account credit balances
are non-interest bearing.
The Company evaluates the carrying value of
its long-lived assets for impairment by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets to the net book value
of the assets when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. If the
expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the net book value of the assets, the excess of the net book value over the
estimated fair value will be charged to earnings.
Fair value is based upon discounted cash flows
of the assets at a rate deemed reasonable for the type of asset and prevailing market conditions, appraisals, and, if appropriate,
current estimated net sales proceeds from pending offers.
Plant and equipment is stated at acquisition
cost less accumulated depreciation and adjustments for impairment losses. Expenditures are capitalized only when they increase
the future economic benefits embodied in an item of plant and equipment. All other expenditures are recognized as expenses in the
statement of operations as incurred.
Depreciation is charged on a straight-line
basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the individual assets. Amortization commences from the time an asset is put
into operation. The range of the estimated useful lives is as follows:
Intangible assets are stated at acquisition
cost less accumulated amortization, if applicable, less any adjustments for impairment losses.
Amortization is charged on a straight-line
basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the individual intangibles. Where intangibles are deemed to be impaired the
Company recognizes an impairment loss measured as the difference between the estimated fair value of the intangible and its book
value.
The range of the estimated useful lives is
as follows:

The Ulisse Bookmaker License has no expiration
date and is therefore not amortized but is tested from impairment on an annual basis in terms of ASC 350 using estimated fair value.
The Company allocates the fair value of purchase
consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The
excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded
as goodwill.
Such valuations require management to make
significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible
assets include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows from acquired users, acquired technology, and trade names from
a market participant perspective, useful lives and discount rates. Management's estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions
believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from
estimates.
The Company annually assesses whether the carrying
value of its reporting unit exceeds its fair value and, if necessary, records an impairment loss equal to any such excess. Each
interim reporting period, the Company assesses whether events or circumstances have occurred which indicate that the carrying amount
of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an asset impairment
charge will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
In terms of ASC 350, the Company skipped the
requirement to perform a qualitative assessment and performed a quantitative assessment on its goodwill as of December 31, 2020
and determined that an impairment was not considered necessary.
termined that there were no indicators present to perform a quantitative assessment
on the fair value of goodwill.
The Company accounts for leases in terms of
ASC 842. In terms of ASC 842, the Company assesses whether any asset based leases entered into for periods longer than twelve months
meet the definition of financial leases or operation leases, by evaluating the terms of the lease, including the following; the
duration of the lease; the implied interest rate in the lease; the cash flows of the lease; and whether the Company intends to
retain ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term.
Leases which imply that the Company will retain
ownership at the end of the lease term are classified as financial leases, are included in plant and equipment with a corresponding
financial liability raised at the date of lease inception. Interest incurred on financial leases are expensed using the effective
interest rate method.
Leases which imply that the Company will not
acquire the asset at the end of the lease term are classified as operating leases, the Company’s right to use the asset is
reflected as a non-current right of use asset with a corresponding operational lease liability raised at the date of lease inception.
The right of use asset and the operational lease liability are amortized over the right of use period using the effective interest
rate implied in the operating lease agreement.
The Company uses the asset and liability method
of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense
is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary
differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. 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 on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates
is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to
reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely
than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC Topic 740-10-30 clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
ASC Topic 740-10-40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
In Italy, tax years beginning 2016 forward,
are open and subject to examination, while in Austria companies are open and subject to inspection for five years and ten years
for inspection of serious infractions. In the United States and Canada, tax years beginning 2016 forward, are subject to examination.
The Company is not currently under examination and it has not been notified of a pending examination.
The Company recognizes revenue when control
of its products and services is transferred to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to
receive from its customers in exchange for those products and services. Revenues from sports-betting, casino, cash and skill games,
slots, bingo and horse race wagers represent the gross pay-ins (also referred to as turnover) from customers less gaming taxes
and payouts to customers. Revenues are recorded when the game is closed which is representative of the point in time at which the
Company has satisfied its performance obligation. In addition, the Company receives commissions from the sale of scratch tickets
and other lottery games. Commissions are recorded when the ticket for scratch off tickets and lottery tickets are sold.
Revenues from the Betting Platform include
software licensing fees, training, installation, and product support services. The Company does not sell its proprietary software.
Revenue is recognized when transfer of control to the customer has been made and the Company’s performance obligation has
been fulfilled. License fees are calculated as a percentage of each licensee’s level of activity and are contingent upon
the licensee’s usage. The license fees are recognized on an accrual basis as earned.
The Company records its compensation expense
associated with stock options and other forms of equity compensation based on their fair value at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model. Stock-based compensation includes amortization related to stock option awards based on the estimated grant
date fair value. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the
option. In addition, the Company records expense related to Restricted Stock Units (“RSU’s”) granted based on
the fair value of those awards on the grant date. The fair value related to the RSUs is amortized to expense over the vesting term
of those awards. Forfeitures of stock options and RSUs are recognized as they occur.
Stock-based compensation expense for a stock-based
award with a performance condition is recognized when the achievement of such performance condition is determined to be probable.
If the outcome of such performance condition is not determined to be probable or is not met, no compensation expense is recognized
and any previously recognized compensation expense is reversed.
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the
change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources,
including foreign currency translation adjustments.
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, “Earnings Per Share” provides for calculation of “basic”
and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income
(loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per
share reflects the dilutive impact on the number of shares outstanding should they be exercised. Securities that have the potential
to dilute shareholder's interests include unexercised stock options and warrants as well as unconverted debentures.
On December 12, 2019, the Company effected
an 1 for 8 reverse stock split, all references made to share or per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.
Parties are considered to be related to the
Company if the parties directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common
control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate
families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls
or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties
might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions. All transactions
are recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,
Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which replaces
the incurred loss methodology with an expected credit loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss
(CECL) methodology. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.
The amendments in this update are required to be applied using the modified retrospective method with an adjustment to accumulated
deficit and are effective for the Company beginning with fiscal year 2020, including interim periods. The measurement of expected
credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables
and held-to-maturity debt securities. An entity with trade receivables will be required to use historical loss information, current
conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts to determine expected lifetime credit losses. Pooling of assets with similar
risk characteristics is also required.
Since adopted on January 1, 2020, there
has not been any material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and related disclosures.
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740).
The Amendments in this update reduce the complexity in accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to accounting
for income taxes and deferred taxes and simplifying the accounting treatment of franchise taxes, a step up in the tax basis of
goodwill as part of business combinations, the allocation of current and deferred tax to a legal entity not subject to tax in its
own financial statements, reflecting changes in tax laws or rates in the annual effective rate in interim periods that include
the enactment date and minor codification improvements.
This ASU is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020.
The effects of this ASU on the Company’s
financial statements is not considered to be material.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06,
debt with Conversion and Other Options (subtopic 470-20): and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
(Subtopic 815-40). Certain accounting models for convertible debt instruments with beneficial conversion features or cash conversion
features are removed from the guidance and for equity instruments the contracts affected are free standing instruments and embedded
features that are accounted for as derivatives, the settlement assessment was simplified by removing certain settlement requirements.
This ASU is effective for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021.
The effects of this ASU on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements is currently being assessed and is expected to have an impact on the treatment of certain convertible
instruments and the derivative liabilities associated with these convertible instruments.
The FASB issued several additional updates
during the period, none of these standards are either applicable to the Company or require adoption at a future date and none are
expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Certain expenses amounting to $2,000,579, classified
as selling expenses in the prior year were reclassified as general and administrative expenses for comparative purposes. These
expenses are related to operating our betting platforms and are more accurately reflected as general and administrative expenses,
in line with our current operations.
These reclassifications had no impact on net
loss or comprehensive loss.

This accounting policy may include a general discussion of the purchase method or acquisition method of accounting (including for example, the treatment accorded contingent consideration, the identification of assets and liabilities, the purchase price allocation process, how the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities are determined) and the entity's specific application thereof. An entity that acquires another entity in a leveraged buyout transaction generally discloses the accounting policy followed by the acquiring entity in determining the basis used to value its interest in the acquired entity, and the rationale for that accounting policy.

Disclosure of accounting policy for fair value measurements of financial and non-financial assets, liabilities and instruments classified in shareholders' equity. Disclosures include, but are not limited to, how an entity that manages a group of financial assets and liabilities on the basis of its net exposure measures the fair value of those assets and liabilities.
Disclosure of accounting policy for goodwill. This accounting policy also may address how an entity assesses and measures impairment of goodwill, how reporting units are determined, how goodwill is allocated to such units, and how the fair values of the reporting units are determined.
Disclosure of accounting policy for income taxes, which may include its accounting policies for recognizing and measuring deferred tax assets and liabilities and related valuation allowances, recognizing investment tax credits, operating loss carryforwards, tax credit carryforwards, and other carryforwards, methodologies for determining its effective income tax rate and the characterization of interest and penalties in the financial statements.

Tabular disclosure of warrants or rights issued. Warrants and rights outstanding are derivative securities that give the holder the right to purchase securities (usually equity) from the issuer at a specific price within a certain time frame. Warrants are often included in a new debt issue to entice investors by a higher return potential. The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants are issued and guaranteed by the company, whereas options are exchange instruments and are not issued by the company. Also, the lifetime of a warrant is often measured in years, while the lifetime of a typical option is measured in months. Disclose the title of issue of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the aggregate amount of securities called for by warrants and rights outstanding, the date from which the warrants or rights are exercisable, and the price at which the warrant or right is exercisable.

The entity need not disclose the identity of a major customer or the amount of revenues that each segment reports from that customer. For these purposes, a group of companies known to the entity to be under common control is considered a single customer, and the federal government, a state government, a local government such as a county or municipality, or a foreign government is each considered a single customer.
Tabular disclosure of an entity's basic and diluted earnings per share calculations, including a reconciliation of numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per-share computations for income from continuing operations.
Tabular disclosure of the profit or loss and total assets for each reportable segment.
