GOLDEN MATRIX GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (“GMGI” or “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 4, 2008, under the name Ibex Resources Corp. The Company business at the time was mining and exploration of mineral properties. On August 31, 2009, the Company changed its name to Source Gold Corp. in order to reflect the focus of the Company. In April 2016, the Company changed its name to Golden Matrix Group, Inc., reflected the changing direction of the Company business to software technology. GMGI has a global presence with offices in Las Vegas Nevada and Sydney Australia. GMGI’s sophisticated social gaming software supports multiple languages including English and Chinese.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (“GMGI” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended July 31, 2018 on Form 10-K filed on October 29, 2018.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended July 31, 2017 have been omitted.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value.

 

Revenues

 

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable, which is in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. According to Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, our company recognize revenue with the following steps:

 

Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer.

Step 2: Identify the separate performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s functional currency is the US dollar as a substantial part of the Company’s operations is based in Arizona. IRC’s and NBI’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of SB and Vulture is the US dollar as its activities are in the USA. The Company uses the United States dollar as its reporting currency for consistency with registrants of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

 
7
 
Table of Contents

 

Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollar reporting currency at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date. Any exchange gains and losses are included in other comprehensive loss.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic net earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

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

 

The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for 2018 and 2017:

For the three months ended October 31, 2017 the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

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.

 

 
8
 
Table of Contents

 

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded as a discount from their face value.

 

Derivatives are measured at their fair value on the balance sheet. Changes in fair value are recorded in the statement of operation.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry-forwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

The Company is required to report comprehensive loss, which includes net loss as well as changes in equity from non-owner sources.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

 

· Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

 

 

 

 

· Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

 

 

 

 

· Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

Our financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, convertible notes payable, advances from shareholder, and derivative liabilities. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The derivative liabilities are stated at their fair value as a level 3 measurement. The Company used a Black-Scholes model to determine the fair values of these derivative liabilities.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 718 which requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.

 

 
9
 
Table of Contents

 

Stock based compensation for non-employees is accounted for using the Stock Based Compensation Topic of the FASB ASC 505. We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and will use the Black-Scholes model for measuring the fair value of options, if issued. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the vesting periods.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued for disclosure purposes.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.

 

Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the updates is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Force (the “Task Force”). The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheet and disclose the nature of the restrictions. AUS No. 2016-18 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not believe this ASU will have an impact on our results of operation, cash flows, other than presentation, or financial condition.

 

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

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GMGI have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a net working capital deficit of $665,609 and $1,836,882 as of October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for GMGI to continue as a going concern. GMGI’s management plans on raising cash from public or private debt or equity financing, on an as needed basis, and in the longer term, revenues from the gambling business. GMGI’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on these additional cash financings, and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations through the development of its gambling business.

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 is unsecured, interest free and repayable upon demand.

 

The note may be converted at the option of the holder into Common stock of the Company. The fixed conversion price is $0.01 per share. Accordingly the note may be converted into 3,000,000 common shares of the Company.

 

The Company determined that this Promissory note should be accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 470-20 which addresses “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features”. The beneficial conversion feature is calculated at its intrinsic value (that is, the difference between the conversion price $0.01 and the fair value of the common stock into which the debt is convertible at the commitment date (per share being $0.08), multiplied by the number of shares into which the debt is convertible. The valuation of the beneficial conversion feature recorded cannot be greater than the face value of the note issued. As of October 31, 2018, debt discount balance $0 was recorded.

 

Convertible Note #46

 

On July 9, 2014, the Company received funding pursuant to a convertible promissory note in the amount of $33,000. The promissory note is unsecured, bears interest at 8% per annum, and matures on July 9, 2015. The holder has the right after a period of 180 days to convert the balance outstanding into the Company’s common stock at a rate equal to 50% of the lowest closing prices during the ten trading days prior to the conversion date.

 

Upon the holder’s option to convert becoming active the Company recorded a debt discount and derivative liability of $130,556 being the fair value of the conversion feature which was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The debt discount is accreted to the statement of operations using the effective interest rate method over the term of the note or to the date of conversion, and the derivative liability is revalued at each reporting date to fair value. Any change in fair value is credited or charged to the statement of operations in the period.

On August 28, 2018, the Company entered into Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the note holder whereby the parties agreed to release each other from any, and all liabilities relating to the Convertible Promissory Note (Note 46). In this Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay out the remaining balance of the note Principal $1,930, accrued Interest $154, default Interest and penalty $6,033, totalling $8,118.

Convertible Note #59

On April 26, 2016, $50,000 was reassigned to Blackbridge Capital, LLC (“Blackbridge”). Blackbridge failed to meet terms of the Assignment and Assumption and were therefore in default of their obligations. The Company took legal advice regarding the breach of Blackbridge Capital LLC’s obligations. On the 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 $47,151.

 

On July 21, 2016, $25,000 was reassigned 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”.

 

A portion of the proceeds from issuance of the convertible debt, equal to the intrinsic value, is allocated to additional paid-in capital. Because the debt is due on demand and is convertible at the date of issuance, the valuation of the beneficial conversion feature is charged to interest expense at the date of issuance.

 

On July 31, 2015, interest expense relating to the beneficial conversion feature of this convertible note of $0 was recorded in the financial statements, with a corresponding increase to additional paid in capital.

 

On September 22, 2016, the Company entered into a Cancellation and Release Agreement with Direct Capital Group, Inc. (“Direct”).

It was also agreed by both the Company and Direct that Direct shall release all future claims to subsequent conversions of the Notes and the Company will have no further obligation to Direct under those Convertible Notes and Direct shall 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.

Upon the holder’s option to convert becoming active the Company recorded a debt discount and derivative liability of $2,330,680 being the fair value of the conversion feature which was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The debt discount is accreted to the statement of operations using the effective interest rate method over the term of the note or to the date of conversion, and the derivative liability is revalued at each reporting date to fair value. Any change in fair value is credited or charged to the statement of operations in the period.

NOTE 4 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

Due to the conversion features contained in the convertible notes issued, the actual number of shares of common stock that would be required if a conversion of the notes as further described in Note 6 was made through the issuance of the Company’s common stock cannot be predicted, and the Company could be required to issue an amount of shares that may cause it to exceed its authorized share amount. As a result, the conversion feature requires derivative accounting treatment and will be bifurcated from the notes and “marked to market” each reporting period through the income statement. The fair value of the conversion future of the notes was recognized as a derivative liability instrument and will be measured at fair value at each reporting period.

 

During the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded derivative liabilities for embedded conversion features related to convertible notes payable of face value $3,300 and $76,251, respectively. The Company remeasured the fair value of the instruments as of October 31, 2018 and 2017, and recorded an unrealized gain of $16,747 and a loss of $319,401 for the three months ended October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company recorded a loss on settlement of derivative liability of $5,310 and $160,440 at October 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. At October 31, 2018 and 2017, the derivative liability associated with the note conversion features were $26,667 and $442,100, respectively.

 

These derivative liabilities have been measured in accordance with fair value measurements, as defined by ASC 820. The valuation assumptions are classified within Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The following table represents the Company’s derivative liability activity for the embedded conversion features discussed above.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

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