1. | Corporate information and going concern |
Engine Media Holdings, Inc. (formerly Torque Esports Corp.) (“Engine Media” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on April 8, 2011. The registered head office of the Company is 77 King St. West, Suite 3000, PO Box 95, TD Centre – North Tower, Toronto, Ontario, M5K 1G8, Canada.
The Company focuses on accelerating new, live, immersive esports and interactive gaming experiences for consumers through its partnerships with traditional and emerging media companies and providing online interactive technology and monetization services.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such adjustments could be material. It is not possible to predict whether the Company will be able to raise adequate financing or to ultimately attain profit levels of operations.
The Company has not yet realized profitable operations and has incurred significant losses to date resulting in a cumulative deficit of $78,093,595 as at November 30, 2020 (August 31, 2020 – $72,094,162). The recoverability of the carrying value of the assets and the Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary. The Company raised $17.8 million in a private placement of units in January 2021 (Note 27) and plans to raise additional amounts. While management has been historically successful in raising the necessary capital, it cannot provide assurance that it will be able to execute on its business strategy or be successful in future financing activities. As at November 30, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $25,244,691 (August 31, 2020 – working capital deficiency of $29,663,546) which is comprised of current assets less current liabilities. The Company also faces uncertain future impacts from COVID-19 (Note 3(b)).
These conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Changes in future conditions could require material write downs of the carrying values of goodwill and other long-lived intangibles.
(a) | Statement of compliance |
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020; and should be read in conjunction with those audited consolidated financial statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year.

2. | Basis of preparation (cont’d) |
(a) | Statement of compliance (cont’d) |
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on January 28, 2021.
(b) | Basis of consolidation |
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.
All transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealized gains and losses on transactions between companies. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Company’s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
The Company’s material subsidiaries as at November 30, 2020 are as follows:
Name of Subsidiary | | Country of Incorporation | | Ownership Percentage | | Functional Currency |
PGL Consulting Services Inc. | | Canada | | 100% | | US Dollar |
Pro Gaming League Inc. | | Canada | | 100% | | US Dollar |
Pro Gaming League Nevada Inc. | | USA | | 100% | | US Dollar |
Millennial Esports California Corp. | | USA | | 100% | | US Dollar |
Stream Hatchet S.L. | | Spain | | 100% | | Euro |
Eden Games S.A. | | France | | 96% | | Euro |
Frankly Media LLC | | USA | | 100% | | US Dollar |
WinView, Inc. | | USA | | 100% | | US Dollar |
UMG Media Ltd. | | Canada | | 100% | | Canadian Dollar |
Non-controlling interests are measured initially at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

2. | Basis of preparation (cont’d) |
(c) | Functional and presentation currency |
The functional currency of the Company is the US Dollar (“USD). The functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 2(b). The presentation currency of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements is the US Dollar (“USD”).
(d) | Expense reclassifications |
For comparability, certain amounts for the three months ended November 30, 2019 have been reclassified to conform with classifications adopted for the year ended August 31, 2020. With the significant acquisitions of UMG, Media Ltd. (UMG), Frankly Inc. (Frankly) and WinView, Inc. (WinView) during fiscal 2020, many of the prior expense classifications for the three months ended November 30, 2019 did not best represent the nature of the ongoing business. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or shareholders’ equity (deficiency).
The Company had no income tax expense for the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019. At November 30, 2020, deferred tax assets have not been recognized because it has not been determined as probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Company can utilize the benefits therefrom.
3. | Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions |
The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Significant estimates and judgments made by management in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are outlined below.
The assessment of the Company’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements involves judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There is a material uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

3. | Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions (cont’d) |
(a) | Significant estimates and critical judgments |
Information about significant estimates and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:
| Note 1 | Going concern; |
| Note 26 | Expected credit losses; |
| Note 17 | Valuation of warrant liability; |
| Notes 9 and 10 | Goodwill and intangible assets; |
| Notes 19 and 20 | Valuation of share-based payments; |
| Note 15 | Valuation of convertible debt; and |
| Note 22 | Contingencies. |
(b) | Uncertainty about the effects of COVID-19 |
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged and has since extensively impacted global health and the economic environment. To contain the spread of COVID-19, domestic and international governments around the world enacted various measures, including orders to close all businesses not deemed “essential,” quarantine orders for individuals to stay in their homes or places of residence, and to practice social distancing when engaging in essential activities. It is anticipated that these actions and the global health crisis caused by COVID-19 will continue to negatively impact many business activities and financial markets across the globe.
The fact that our business has increasingly shifted to digital channels, we have increased flexibility as we navigate through the uncertain environment and near-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of the pandemic on our business has been mixed thus far. While we have seen some increase in demand for our digital products and services, however, this demand has been more than offset by reduction in spending by our customers.
In an effort to protect the health and safety of our employees, the majority of our workforce is currently working from home and we have placed restrictions on non-essential business travel. We have implemented business continuity plans and have increased support and resources to enable our employees to work remotely and thus far our business has been able to operate with minimal disruption.
The global COVID-19 pandemic remains a rapidly evolving situation. We will continue to actively monitor the developments of the pandemic and may take further actions that could alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, local, or foreign authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and shareholders. It is not clear what effects any such potential actions may have on our business, including the effects on our employees, players and consumers, customers, partners, development and content pipelines, our reputation, financial condition, results of operations, revenue, cash flows, liquidity or stock price.

4. | Changes in significant accounting policies |
Certain pronouncements have been issued by the IASB that are not yet effective. There are currently no such pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
5. | Net income (loss) per share |
Due to the net loss incurred during the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019, all outstanding options, restricted share units and warrants were excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding as their effect was anti-dilutive. Weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019 were 7,699,907 and 164,659, respectively.
6. | Accounts and other receivables |

The Company accounts for this investment as an investment in associate under the equity method. The Company’s equity in the earnings (loss) of One Up for the three months ended November 30, 2020 was $66,686. One Up, as an entity, had total equity on its balance sheet as at November 30, 2020 of $2,447,218.

Right of use assets consist primarily of leases for corporate office facilities and are amortized on a monthly basis over the term of the lease, or useful life, if shorter.
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the lease payments that were not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using an average interest rate of 7.75%, which is the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate. The continuity of the lease liabilities is presented in the table below:

14. | Promissory notes payable and other borrowings (cont’d) |
(a) | Promissory notes (cont’d) |
The Company, through its UMG subsidiary, has two promissory notes outstanding as at November 30, 2020 in the amount of $117,350 (August 31, 2020 – $112,168), representing principal and accrued interest. The larger note has an outstanding balance of principal and accrued interest at November 30, 2020 of $78,177 (August 31, 2020 – $75,492), has an interest rate of 12% and is currently due.
As of November 30, 2020, the Company, through its UMG subsidiary, has a balance of $330,000 (August 31, 2020 – $330,000) due to a former UMG shareholder.

As of November 30, 2020, interest of $15,074 has been accrued on this note (August 31, 2020 – $nil).
(b) | Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) loans |
In April and May 2020, the Company entered into promissory notes (the “Notes”) with three banks. The Notes evidence loans to the Company of $1,589,559 pursuant to the PPP of the CARES Act administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, the Company used the proceeds from the loans exclusively for qualified expenses under the PPP, including payroll costs, rent and utility costs, as further detailed in the CARES Act and applicable guidance issued by the SBA.
Interest will accrue on the outstanding balance of the Notes at a rate of 1.00% per annum. However, the Company has applied for and expects to receive forgiveness of all amounts due under the Notes.
Subject to any forgiveness granted under the PPP, the Notes are scheduled to mature in April 2022 and require 18 equal monthly payments of principal and interest beginning November 2020. However, no principal payments are due until the SBA determines whether to forgive the amounts The Notes may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The Notes provide for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to failure to make payments, bankruptcy, breaches of representations, significant changes in ownership, and material adverse effects. The Company’s obligations under the Notes are not secured by any collateral.
Upon the receipt of the proceeds of $1,589,559 from the Notes, the Company accounted for the Notes as a grant in the form of forgivable loan and recorded the amount as a deferred income liability. The liability was reduced as the Company recognized expenses which qualified for forgiveness of the loan. As at August 31, 2020, the Company had incurred greater than $1,589,559 of qualifying expenses and therefore had a remaining deferred income liability of $nil. The Company recognized the impact of the loan forgiveness as an offset against related salaries and wages expense, in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended August 31, 2020.

15. | Convertible debt (cont’d) |
(a) | Conversions during the period |
During the three months ended November 30, 2020, 2019 Series convertible debentures with a principal amount of CAD$275,000 (2019 – CAD$1,328,000) were converted into 36,666 units (2019 – 177,067), and as a result, the Company issued 36,666 common shares and 36,666 warrants (2019 – 177,067 common shares and 177,067 warrants). The fair value of the convertible debentures at the time of conversion was estimated using the binomial lattice model with the below assumptions:
Share price of CAD$11.65 (2019 – CAD$29.85); term of 1.90 years (2019 – 2.68 and 2.77); conversion price and warrant exercise price of CAD$7.50 (2019 – CAD$7.50); interest rate of 6% (2019 – 6%); expected volatility of 179% (2019 – 150%); risk-free interest rate of 0.25% (2019 – 1.47%); exchange rate of 0.7651 (2019 – 0.7599); and an expected dividend yield of 0% (2019 – 0%). The fair value assigned to these convertible debentures was $305,223 (2019 – $1,228,333).
This value was split between common shares and warrants as $164,343 (2019 – $617,248) and $140,880 (2019 – $611,085), respectively.
(b) | Issuances during the period |
During the three months ended November 30, 2020, 2020 Series convertible debentures with a principal amount of $2,901,393 were issued for gross proceeds of $2,901,393. In addition, in November 2020, $2,000,000 of convertible debentures from the Company’s standby convertible debenture facility were issued along with 224,719 warrants for gross proceeds of $2,000,000 (Note 15(f)). Of the gross proceeds of $2,000,000, $1,381,084 was allocated to the convertible debt and $618,916 was allocated to the 224,719 warrants issued (Note 15(f)). The total fair value recorded to convertible debt for issuances above amounted to $4,282,477.
As at November 30, 2020, the fair value of the 2019 Series convertible debentures was estimated using the binomial lattice model with the below assumptions:
2019 Series | | November 30, 2020 (CA$) | | | August 31, 2020 (CA$) | |

15. | Convertible debt (cont’d) |
The 2020 Series debentures will mature twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance and bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum (subject to adjustment as described below), payable on maturity. At the Company’s option, interest under the 2020 Series debentures is payable in kind in common shares at an issue price which would be based on the trading price of the common shares at the time of such interest payment. The interest rate under the 2020 Series debentures will increase from 5% to 10% per annum on a prospective basis on December 19, 2020, if a public offering has not occurred by that date.
The 2020 Series debenture holders may convert all or a portion of the principal amount of the debentures into units (“Units”) of the Company at a price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the lesser of (a) $11.25 per Unit, and (b) if such conversion occurs after a public offering of securities by the Company (the “Public Offering”), a fifteen percent (15%) discount to the public offering price, provided that such conversion price shall not be less than $7.50 per Unit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if by December 19, 2020, the Company has not obtained registration rights in the United States to allow sale in the United States of the common shares (“Common Shares”) of the Company and the exercise of warrants (the “Warrants”) of the Company to be issued pursuant to the conversion of the 2020 Series debentures, holders of 2020 Series debentures may convert such debentures into Units at $7.50 per Unit.
Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one-half of one Warrant, with each Warrant exercisable into one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $15.00 per share for a period of three years from the issuance of the 2020 Series debentures. Under certain circumstances, the Company shall be entitled to call for the exercise of any outstanding Warrants in the event that the closing trading price of the Company common shares on the NASDAQ is above $30.00 per share for fifteen (15) consecutive trading days.
In the event that the Company’s common shares are listed for trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market and the Company completes a Public Offering for an aggregate amount of at least US$30,000,000, the Company may cause the 2020 Series debentures to be converted at the Conversion Price by the Company delivering a notice to the holder not less than a minimum of 30 days and a maximum 60 days prior to the forced conversion date.
These convertible debentures (the “2020 Series One Up” debentures) have identical terms as the 2020 Series debentures except that the minimum conversion price of $7.50 per Unit (as described above) will be US$9.50 per Unit. The 2020 Series One Up convertible debentures had a fair value at issuance of $3,078,550.
In September 2020, the Company entered into an $8,000,000 stand-by convertible debenture facility (the “2020 Series Standby” debentures). The 2020 Series Standby Debenture has substantially similar terms as the 2020 Series debentures, except the following: (i) the references to a minimum $7.50 conversion price (as described above) have been changed to $8.90; and (ii) the 2020 Series Standby debentures are only convertible into common shares of the Company, not units. In November 2020, the Company issued 224,719 warrants in connection with this first draw of $2,000,000 of the Standby Debentures, with each warrant exercisable into one common share the Company at an exercise price of $15.00 per share for a period of two years, subject to the same acceleration clause as the warrants underlying the 2020 Series debentures.
The proceeds of $2,000,000 from the first draw were allocated between convertible debt and warrant liability with $1,381,084 allocated to convertible debt and $618,916 allocated to the 224,719 warrants issued.

15. | Convertible debt (cont’d) |
(f) | 2020 Series – Standby (cont’d) |
The remaining $6,000,000 of convertible debentures that are issuable under this facility have substantially similar terms as the 2020 Series debentures, including conversion into units consisting of one share and one-half warrant, provided that the conversion price of any additional convertible debentures will be based on the market price of the common shares at the time of such subscriptions and are subject to TSX-V approval.
As at November 30, 2020, the fair value of the 2020 Series convertible debentures was estimated using the binomial lattice model with the below assumptions:
| | 2020 Series 30-Nov-20 (US$) | | | 2020 Series 31-Aug-20 (US$) | |

The Company has an unsecured, non-interest bearing loan that matures on June 30, 2022. The loan bears interest at 0% per annum. As at August 31, 2020, the present value of the loan was $164,601 (August 31, 2020 – $230,932), accretion having been charged to interest expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for three months ended November 30, 2020 of $14,013 (2019 – $14,724). A discount rate of 10% was used (August 31, 2020 – 10%).
Scheduled repayments are: € 90,000 ($107,658) and € 67,500 ($80,744) between 0 – 12 months and 12 – 24 months, respectively, from November 30, 2020.

As at November 30, 2020, the fair value of the 2,659,158 warrants outstanding (August 31, 2020 – 2,405,369) was determined to be $10,246,146 (August 31, 2020 – $14,135,321) as calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following range of assumptions: 0.44 – 3.69 years (August 31, 2020 – 0.23 – 3.94) as expected average life; share price of CAD$8.80 (August 31, 2020 – CAD$11.65); exercise price of CAD$7.50 – CAD$205.20 (August 31, 2020 – CAD$7.50 – CAD$205.20); 115% - 136% expected volatility (August 31, 2020 – 115% - 136%); risk free interest rate of 0.21% - 0.37% (August 31, 2020 – 0.23% - 0.32%); and an expected dividend yield of 0%.
(a) | Warrants exercised during the period |
During the three months ended November 30, 2020, the holders of 7,166 warrants (2019 – nil) exercised their right to convert the warrants into the Company’s common shares at an exercise price of CAD$7.50 - $9.75. As a result of the underlying exercise of warrants, the Company received $44,675 in cash proceeds and the intrinsic value of the underlying warrants at the date of exercise of $11,404 was transferred to share capital, for a total addition to share capital of $56,079.
(b) | Warrants issued during the period |
The Company issued 36,666 warrants (2019 – 177,067) in connection with conversion of convertible debt (Note 15(a)) and 224,719 warrants (2019 – nil) in connection with the private placement of convertible debentures (Note 15(f)), for a total number of 261,385 warrants issued (2019 – 177,066).

the Company. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company for a period of five years from the date of issuance of the convertible debt at an exercise price of CAD$7.50 (2019 – CAD$7.50) per warrant. The fair value of the 36,666 warrants (2019 – 177,067) issued was determined to be $140,880 (2019 – $611,085) as calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
A 3.9 years as expected average life (2019 – 4.61 to 4.91); share price of CAD$11.51 (2019 – CAD$3.75); exercise price of CAD$7.50 (2019 – CAD$7.50); 136% expected volatility (2019 – 136%); risk free interest rate of 0.30% (2019 – 1.36% and 1.55%); and an expected dividend yield of 0% (2019 – 0%).
Volatility is calculated using a weighted approach based on the changes in the Company’s historical stock price and volatility for comparable public companies. The final fair value allocated to the warrants on conversion of convertible debt is based on a relative fair value allocation between the common shares issued and warrants issued on conversion.
(d) | Warrants issued on private placement of standby convertible debentures |
During the three months ended November 30, 2020 the Company issued 224,719 warrants in connection with the private placement of convertible debentures under its standby convertible debenture facility (Note 15(f)).
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares and an unlimited number of preference shares.

20. | Restricted share units |
The Omnibus Plan allows the Company to award restricted share units to officers, employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries upon such conditions as the board may establish, including the attainment of performance goals recommended by the Company’s compensation committee. The purchase price for common shares of the Company issuable under each Restricted Share Unit (“RSU”) award, if any, shall be established by the board at its discretion. Common shares issued pursuant to any RSU award may be made subject to vesting conditions based upon the satisfaction of service requirements, conditions, restrictions, time periods or performance goals established by the board.
The TSXV requires the Company to fix the number of common shares to be issued in settlement of awards that are not options. The maximum number of common shares available for issuance pursuant to the settlement of RSUs shall be an aggregate of 750,542 common shares.

Balance, November 30, 2020 | | | 658,253 | |
In November 2020, the Company granted 322,547 RSUs pursuant to the Company’s incentive plan to a former officer and key management employees. The fair value of these RSUs was estimated based on the closing price of CAD$8.85 – CAD$9.82 for a total fair value on date of grant of CAD$3,130,180. Of the 322,547 RSUs granted, 75,944 were severance compensation to a former officer. As these RSUs were issued as severance compensation, the grant date fair value of CAD$713,874 ($550,896) was recognized on the grant date. The fair value of the remaining RSUs will be recognized as stocked-based compensation expense over the vesting period, which is generally three years.
During the three months ended November 30, 2020, share-based compensation expense for the Company’s RSUs was $1,039,584 (2019 – $nil).
The Company considers its capital to be its shareholders’ equity.
As at November 30, 2020, the Company had shareholders’ equity (deficit) before non-controlling interests of $(5,397,539) (August 31, 2019 – equity of 45,907). The Company’s objective when managing its capital is to seek continuous improvement in the return to its shareholders while maintaining a moderate to high tolerance for risk. The objective is achieved by prudently managing the capital generated through internal growth and profitability, through the use of lower cost capital, including raising share capital or debt when required to fund opportunities as they arise.
The Company may also return capital to shareholders through the repurchase of shares, pay dividends or reduce debt where it determines any of these to be an effective method of achieving the above objective. The Company does not use ratios in the management of its capital. There have been no changes to management’s approach to managing its capital during the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019.

22. | Commitments and contingencies |
Royalty expenses relate to royalties paid to intellectual property rights holders for use of their trademarks, copyrights, software, technology or other intellectual property or proprietary rights in the development or sale of the Eden Games’ products. Eden Games has royalty agreements to utilize trademarks, copyrights, software, technology or other intellectual property or proprietary rights in the development or sale of its products. Eden Games has committed to pay royalties ranging from 4% to 25% of revenues after certain thresholds have been met, in connection with the underlying license agreements. Royalty expenses were €nil for the three months ended November 30, 2020 and 2019.
Under the terms of a consulting agreement dated July 27, 2017, the Company is committed to pay to certain employees of Eden Games, nine months’ severance in the event of termination, amounting to £144,500 ($175,911). If revenue from the Eden Games mobile app exceeds specified amounts, a bonus shall be paid up to a maximum of £100,000 ($121,561) on an annual basis. As no triggering events have taken place related to the contingencies to November 30, 2020, no provision has been made in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
(c) | Litigation and arbitration |
In April 2020, the Company announced its renegotiation of the acquisition of Allinsports. The revised purchase agreement provides for the acquisition of 100% of Allinsports in exchange for the issuance of 966,667 common shares of the Company. The purchase agreement included the requirement of $1.2 million to be advanced against the purchase price. In September 2020, the Company advised the shareholders of Allinsports that closing conditions of the transaction, including the failure to provide audited financial statements, had not been satisfied.
In response, in November 2020, the shareholders of Allinsports commenced arbitration in Ontario seeking, among other things, to compel the Company to complete the acquisition of Allinsports without the audited financial statements, and to issue 966,667 common shares of the Company to those shareholders. As alternative relief, the shareholders of Allinsports are seeking US$20,000,000 in damages. The Company will defend itself vigorously in this proceeding.
On January 21, 2021, eight former shareholders of Winview filed a Complaint in Delaware Chancery Court against four Winview directors (David Lockton, et al. v. Thomas S. Rogers, et al.) alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the sale of Winview to Engine. The relief sought includes rescission of the sale of Winview to Engine and compensatory damages. The Company does not believe that the action has merit and neither the Company nor Winview have been named as parties to this action. Under the March 9, 2020 Business Combination Agreement pursuant to which the Company acquired Winview, the Company agreed to indemnify Winview’s directors for any claims arising out of their service as directors for Winview.
The Company is subject to various other claims, lawsuits and other complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records provisions for losses when claims become probable and the amounts are estimable. Although the outcome of such matters cannot be determined, it is the opinion of management that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, operations or liquidity.

26. | Financial instruments and risk management |
(a) | Financial risk management objectives and policies |
The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. These financial instrument risks are actively managed by the Company under the policies approved by the Board of Directors. The principal financial risks are managed by the Company’s finance department, within Board approved policies and guidelines. On an ongoing basis, the finance department actively manages market conditions with a view to minimizing the exposure of the Company to changing market factors, while at the same time limiting the funding costs to the Company.
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company uses information supplied by independent rating agencies where available, and if not available, the Company uses other publicly available financial information and its own records to rate its customers.
Credit risk arises from cash and deposits with banks as well as credit exposure to outstanding receivables, the carrying amounts represent the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of accounts receivable. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified. The collective loss allowance is determined based on historical data of payment statistics for similar financial assets.
The Company’s accounts receivable are concentrated among customers in the media and broadcasting industry, which may be affected by adverse economic factors impacting that industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its major customers, maintains reserves for expected credit losses, and does not require any collateral deposits.
As at November 30, 2020 one customer (August 31, 2020 – one) accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. In total, this one customer (August 31, 2020 – one) accounted for 19% of the Company’s accounts and other receivables balance as at November 30, 2020 (August 31, 2020 – 13%). During the three months ended November 30, 2020, one (2019 – three) customers represented 58% (2019 – 50%) of total revenue.
The below table reflects the aging of the Company’s aging by invoice date of gross trade accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts as at November 30, 2020:

26. | Financial instruments and risk management (cont’d) |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk with respect to its contractual obligations and financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows and matching maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Company seeks to ensure that it has sufficient capital to meet short term financial obligations after taking into account its operating obligations and cash on hand.
The Company’s policy is to seek to ensure adequate funding is available from operations and other sources, including debt and equity capital markets, as required.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to fair value risk with respect to debt which bear interest at fixed rates.
(e) | Foreign exchange rates |
The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to fluctuations of financial instruments related to cash, accounts and other receivables, and accounts payable denominated in Euros and GBP, as well as debt denominated in Canadian dollars.
The following tables combine information about:
| ● | classes of financial instruments based on their nature and characteristics; |
| ● | the carrying amounts of financial instruments; |
| ● | fair values of financial instruments (except financial instruments when carrying amount approximates their fair value); and |
| ● | fair value hierarchy levels of financial assets and financial liabilities for which fair value was disclosed. |
Fair value hierarchy levels 1 to 3 are based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through February 1, 2021, the date at which the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, and determined there were no additional items to be disclosed except for the transactions described below.
(a) | Amendment of credit facility |
In December 2020, the Company amended the $5,000,000 revolving term line of credit (“EB Loan”). In connection with the amendment, the maturity date of the EB Loan was extended from January 5, 2021 until January 5, 2022. Additionally, the Company guaranteed the obligations under the EB Loan and has granted a security interest in favour of the Lender over the assets of the Company. In consideration of the extension of the maturity date, the Company has agreed to issue to the Lender an aggregate of 6,666 common shares in the capital of the Company at a deemed price per share equal to $5.77 and an amendment fee of $100,000 which forms part of the outstanding principal under the EB Loan. The Bonus Shares issuable will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and a day following the date of issuance.
In January 2021, the Company further amended the EB loan such that in lieu of repayment of the loan due to the Company completing an equity financing of at least $15 million (see note 27(d), the $5 million principal amount of the EB loan will now be subject to a secured convertible debenture. The convertible debenture is convertible into units of the Company at a conversion price of $10.25 per unit, with each unit comprised of one common share and one-half of a warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable into a common share at an exercise price of $15.00 per share for a period of three years from the issuance of the convertible debenture.
(b) | Shares for debt transaction |
In December 2020, the Company settled outstanding debt of CAD$294,000 with two arm’s length creditors by issuing 40,000 common shares of the Company at a deemed price of CAD$7.35 per share. The amount of indebtedness represents an outstanding balance of consulting fees and expense reimbursement owed to former consultants to the Company.
(c) | Retirement of convertible debentures in exchange for issuance of common shares and warrants |
In January 2021, the Company completed convertible debenture settlements of an aggregate principal amount of $10,726,393 of its convertible debentures in exchange for the issuance of 1,430,186 units at a deemed price of $7.50 per unit, with each such unit consisting of a common share and three-quarters (3/4) of a warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable into a common share at an exercise price of $15 per share for a period of three years. Included in the debt settlements was the $3,000,000 convertible debenture that was issued in connection with the Company’s acquisition of a 20% equity interest in One Up LLC.
(d) | Issuance of Units for $17.8 million of gross proceeds |
In January 2021, the Company closed on the issuance of 2,371,747 units (the “Units”) for gross proceeds of $17,788,105 of a non-brokered private placement. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional share of the Company at a price of US$15.00 per share for a period of 3 years provided that: (i) if the common shares are listed for trading on NASDAQ, (ii) the Company completes an offering of securities under a short form prospectus for an aggregate amount of at least US$30,000,000, and (iii) the closing price of the common shares on NASDAQ is US$30.00 or greater for a period of 15 consecutive trading days, then the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the 30th day after the date written notice is provided to the holders.
