Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018
(Unaudited)
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)
1.
Nature of Operations and Going Concern
Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (formerly VGambling Inc.) (the Company) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on July 22, 2008.
On April 18, 2017, the majority of the shareholders of the Companys common stock voted to approve a change of the name of the Company from VGambling, Inc. to Esports Entertainment Group, Inc.
The Companys activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to obtain the licenses required to operate its gambling business, failing to secure the additional funding required to fully operationalize the Companys business, and the risk of existing or future competitors offering similar or more advanced technology.
The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized profitable operations and has relied on non-operational sources to fund operations. The Company has incurred recurring losses and additional future losses are anticipated as the Company has not yet been able to generate revenue.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize it assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $6,799,708 and a working capital deficiency amounting $2,319,591. The Company has not generated any revenues during the period ended December 31, 2018. The Company is licensed to conduct online gambling. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations.
These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements evaluations are based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably to be knowable as of March 5, 2019. Based on the following, management believes that it is probable that management will be unable to meet its obligations as they come due within one year that the financial statements are issued.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Such adjustments could be material.

Presentation of Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) set forth in Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the
7
results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read along with the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K of the Company for June 30, 2018.
The Companys consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The consolidated statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Esports Services Antigua Ltd., Vie Esports Services B.V., Esports Services (Malta) Limited and Esports Entertainment (Malta) Ltd. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements.
ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The ASU provides clarity to preparers on the treatment of eight specific items within an entitys statement of cash flows. The guidance becomes effective for all public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. The adoption of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The ASU amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based arrangements and provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In March 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. ASU 2018-05 amends SEC paragraphs in ASC 740 to reflect SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No.118. When the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) was signed into law, the SEC staff released SAB 118 for applying Topic 740 as it relates to the Act. SAB 118 outlines the approach companies may take if they determine that the necessary information is not available (in reasonable detail) to evaluate, compute, and prepare accounting entries to recognize the effect(s) of the Act by the time the financial statements are required to be filed. Companies may use this approach when the timely determination of some or all of the income tax effect(s) from the Act is incomplete by the due date of the financial statements. SAB 118 also prescribes disclosures that reporting entities must provide in these circumstances. The amendments to the Accounting Standards Codification became effective upon issuance. The adoption of the amended guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
The following are new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). The FASB issued the update to require the recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of lessees. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company on December 1, 2019, including interim periods. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition method with the option to elect a package of practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other- Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU addresses customers accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and also adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. The
8
amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance to determine the impact it may have on the Companys financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04). The FASB issued the update to simplify the measurement of goodwill by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units fair value. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2017-04 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic: 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic: 480), Derivatives and Hedges (Topic 815) (ASU 2017-11). FASB issued the update to simplify the accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. ASU 2017-11 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods. Earlier adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or have not been made available for issuance.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2018-07). FASB issued the update to include share-based payment transaction for acquiring goods or services from nonemployees in Topic 718, Compensation Stock Compensation. ASU 2018-07 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than a companys adoption date of Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The Note also embodies certain traditional default provisions that are linked to credit or interest risks, such as bankruptcy proceedings, liquidation events and corporate existence. The Company has concluded that the embedded conversion option is not indexed to the Companys own stock due to the
13
down-round protection features afforded to the holder. Therefore, the embedded conversion option is subject to classification in the condensed interim consolidated financial statement a derivative liability at fair value, both at inception and subsequently, pursuant to ASC 815.
In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company issued the holders warrants to purchase the Companys common stock.

The Company has concluded that the warrants are not indexed to the Companys own stock due to the down-round protection.

The Company has concluded that the warrants are not indexed to the Companys stock due to the down-round protection. Accordingly, the Companys analysis resulted in the conclusion that these warrants require classification in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements as a derivative liability at fair value, both at inception and subsequently, pursuant to ASC 815.
Accounting for the Secured Convertible Notes
The Company has evaluated the terms and conditions of the Notes under the guidance of ASC 815. Due to the economic characteristics and risks of the equity-linked conversion options not being clearly and closely related to a debt-type host, the conversion features require classification and measurement as derivative financial instruments. Further, these features individually were not afforded the exemption normally available to derivatives indexed to a companys own stock. Accordingly, the Companys evaluation resulted in the conclusion that this compound derivative financial instrument requires bifurcation and liability classification, at fair value. Current standards contemplate that the classification of financial instruments requires evaluation at each report date.

The carrying value of the Notes at December 31, 2018 was $55,621 (June 30, 2018 - $Nil).
Discounts (premiums) on the convertible notes arise from (i) the allocation of basis to other instruments issued in the transaction, (ii) fees paid directly to the creditor, and (iii) initial recognition at fair value, which is lower than face value. Discounts (premiums) are amortized through charges (credits) to interest expense over the term of the debt agreement. Amortization of debt discounts (premiums) amounted to ($55,621) (2017 - $Nil) during the six month period ended December 31, 2018.
In addition to the debt discounts, cash paid for financing costs of $360,772 (2017 - $Nil) and the fair value of placement agent warrants issued of $415,307 (2017 - $Nil) are included in interest expense for the six month period ended December 31, 2018.

Fair Value Considerations
GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As presented in the tables below, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels:
Level 1 valuations
:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 valuations
:
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs or significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 valuations
:
Significant inputs to valuation model are unobservable.
15
The Company follow the provisions of ASC 820 with respect to the Companys financial instruments. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. The Companys derivative financial instruments which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis under of ASC 815 as of December 31, 2018 are all measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The features embedded in the secured convertible notes and the warrants were valued using a binomial-lattice-based valuation model. The lattice-based valuation technique was utilized because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including the underlying price, exercise price, term, volatility, and risk-free interest-rate) that are necessary to fair value these instruments. For forward contracts that contingently require net-cash settlement as the principal means of settlement, the Company project and discount future cash flows applying probability-weighted to multiple possible outcomes. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Companys common stock. Due to derivative financial instruments initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the Companys condensed interim consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes. The following table sets forth (i) the range of inputs for each significant assumption, and (ii) the equivalent, or averages, of each significant assumption as of December 31, 2018:
