Engine Media Holdings, Inc. (formerly Torque Esports Corp.) Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and six months ended February 28, 2021 (Unaudited) (Expressed in United States Dollars) | ![](https://capedge.com/proxy/F-10A/0001493152-21-013912/ex4-14_002.jpg) |
1. | Corporate information and going concern |
| |
(a) | Corporate information |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| On August 13, 2020, the Company consolidated its shares on the basis of 15 pre-consolidation shares for every 1 post-consolidation share. Current and comparative disclosure has been amended to reflect this share consolidation. |
| |
| Pursuant to shareholder approval at the July 15, 2020 shareholders’ meeting, effective August 13, 2020, the Company changed its name to Engine Media Holdings, Inc. The Company’s common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the trading symbol GAME.V and OTCQB under the trading symbol MLLLF. |
| |
(b) | Going concern |
| |
| 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 $105,473,107 as of February 28, 2021 (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. While management has been historically successful in raising the necessary capital (Note 18), it cannot provide assurance that it will be able to execute on its business strategy or be successful in future financing activities. |
| |
| As of February 28, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $18,485,323 (August 31, 2020 – working capital deficiency of $29,663,546) which is comprised of current assets less current liabilities. Excluding non-cash warrant liability, the Company had a working capital surplus of $12,935,173 (August 31, 2020 – working capital deficiency of $15,528,225). The Company also faced 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. |

2. | Statement of compliance and basis of presentation |
| |
(a) | Statement of compliance |
| |
| These unaudited 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”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). |
| |
| These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on June 9, 2021 and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2020. |
| |
(b) | Basis of consolidation |
| |
| The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. |
| The Company’s subsidiaries 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 |
| 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. |
| |
| 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. |

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and six months ended February 28, 2021 (Unaudited) (Expressed in United States Dollars) | ![](https://capedge.com/proxy/F-10A/0001493152-21-013912/ex4-14_002.jpg) |
2. | Statement of compliance and basis of presentation (cont’d) |
| |
(c) | Basis of presentation |
| |
| These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value. In addition, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. |
| |
| In the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
| |
(d) | Foreign currency translation |
| |
| 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”). |
| |
(e) | Expense reclassifications |
| |
| For comparability, certain amounts for the three and six months ended February 29, 2020 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 and six months ended February 29, 2020 did not best represent the nature of the ongoing business. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss or shareholders’ equity (deficiency). |
| |
(f) | Income taxes |
| |
| The Company had no income tax expense for the three and six months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29. 2020. As of February 28, 2021, 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 of 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. |

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements For the three and six months ended February 28, 2021 (Unaudited) (Expressed in United States Dollars) | ![](https://capedge.com/proxy/F-10A/0001493152-21-013912/ex4-14_002.jpg) |
3. | Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions (cont’d) |
| |
| 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. |
| |
(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. | Significant accounting policies |
| |
(a) | Future accounting pronouncements |
| |
| The following standards have not yet been adopted and are being evaluated to determine their impact on the Company: |
IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements (“IFRS 10”) and
IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (“IAS 28”)
IFRS 10 and IAS 28 were amended in September 2014 to address a conflict between the requirements of IAS 28 and IFRS 10 and clarify that in a transaction involving an associate or joint venture, the extent of gain or loss recognition depends on whether the assets sold or contributed constitute a business. The effective date of these amendments is yet to be determined; however early adoption is permitted. The Company has not assessed the effect of these pronouncements on its consolidated financial statements.
| Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or the Company is still assessing what the impact will be to the Company’s financial statements. |
| |
5. | Net income (loss) per share |
| |
| Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income (loss) per share assumes the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common share equivalents unless the effect is to reduce the loss or increase the income per share. For purposes of this calculation, stock options, warrants and RSU’s are considered to be potential common shares and are only included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share when their effect is dilutive. |
| |
| Due to the net loss incurred during the three and six months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, 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 and six months ended February 28, 2021 were 10,095,276 and 8,890,974, respectively (February 29, 2020 – 781,119 and 486,430, respectively). |

6. | Accounts, other receivables, and customer advance |
| |
(a) | Accounts and other receivables |
| |
| The Company’s accounts and other receivables are comprised of the following: |
| | February 28, 2021 | | | August 31, 2020 | |

Alowance for doubtful accounts, end of period | | | (944,824 | ) | | | - | |
(b) | Publisher advance |
| |
| On February 7, 2021, the Company’s subsidiary Frankly Media LLC, amended its commercial agreement with its largest publisher, which secured a long-term extension. One of the key terms of the amended agreement required the Company to advance $6 million of revenue sharing payments to the publisher under the following schedule: |
| (i) | $4 million within one day of execution of the amendment; |
| (ii) | $1 million on or before February 28, 2021; and |
| (iii) | $1 million on or before March 31, 2021. |
| The advance is to be recouped through additional withholding on future advertising revenue share payments made to the publisher, beyond Frankly’s share, and is effective for amounts billed for periods February 1, 2021 forward. |
| |
| As of February 28, 2021, $5 million had been advanced to the publisher and $141,355 had been recouped through the process explained above. As of February 28, 2021, a net amount of $4,858,645 was outstanding on the advance. |
| |
| The breakout of the publisher advance into current and non-current portions is based on an estimate of advertising billings over the next twelve months and the resulting additional withholding on the related advertising revenue share payments. |

Balance, February 28, 2021 | | | - | | | | 2,048,039 | |
| On August 25, 2020, the Company acquired a 20.48% interest in One Up Group, LLC (“One Up”). One Up operates a mobile app which allows gamers to organize and play one-on-one matches with other gamers and compete for money. The Company believes there will be synergies with the WinView business. |
| |
| The Company accounted for this investment as an investment in associate under the equity method from acquisition through January 5, 2021. The Company’s equity in the loss of One Up for the period from September 1, 2020 to January 5, 2021 amounted to $103,930. |
| |
| On January 5, 2021, the Company’s interest in One Up was reduced to 18.62% as a result of One Up closing a financing round. In accordance with IAS 28, the Company discontinued the use of the equity method on January 5, 2021, the date at which its investment ceased being an associate. The difference between the fair value of the Company’s retained interest in One Up and it’s carrying value on January 5, 2021 amounted to $99,961, which is recognized as a gain on retained interest in former associate on the Company’s statement of loss and comprehensive loss. |

(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 of 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. As of the date of this filing, two of the three PPP loans in the amount of $1,379,684 were formally forgiven.

(c) | Frankly line of credit |
On January 7, 2020, the Company’s Frankly Media LLC subsidiary (“Frankly Media”) entered an agreement with an arm’s length lender, EB Acquisition Company, LLC (the “Lender”), whereby the Lender agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to provide Frankly Media with a revolving term line of credit in the principal amount of up to $5 million (the “EB Loan”).
The EB Loan had a one-year term, extendable for a second year upon the mutual agreement of Lender and Frankly Media; and was secured by a security interest in Frankly Media’s assets, as well as a guarantee by the Company, secured against the Company’s assets.
On December 1, 2020, the EB Loan was amended (the “Amended EB Loan”). The amendment extended the maturity date by one year and added a conversion feature to $1 million of the $5 million principal outstanding. The conversion feature allowed the holder to convert $1 million into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $11.25 per common share. On February 24, 2021, the Company extinguished the Amended EB Loan and issued the Lender a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $5 million (the “EB CD”). The EB CD 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 EB CD. The EB CD has a term of three years.
As of the date of Amended EB Loan, December 1, 2020, the Company has accounted for the loan as convertible debt at FVTPL. As such, the Amended EB Loan was recognized within convertible debt (Note 15).
The carrying value of the line of credit as of February 28, 2021 was $nil (August 31, 2020 – $4,919,507).

(a) | Conversions during the period |
2019 Series
During the six months ended February 28, 2021, 2019 Series convertible debentures with a principal amount of CAD$290,000 (2020 – CAD$3,263,010) were converted into 38,666 units (2020 – 435,068), and as a result, the Company issued 38,666 common shares and 38,666 warrants (2020 – 435,068 common shares and 435,068 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 – $14.15 (2020 – CAD$10.95); term of 1.44 – 1.90 years (2020 – 2.43 and 2.52); conversion price and warrant exercise price of CAD$7.50 (2020 – CAD$7.50); interest rate of 6% (2020 – 6%); expected volatility of 98.5% – 179% (2020 – 171.62%); risk-free interest rate of 0.25% - 0.27% (2020 – 1.14%); exchange rate of 0.7651 – 0.7883 (2020 – 0.7456); and an expected dividend yield of 0% (2020 – 0%). The fair value assigned to these convertible debentures was $338,114 (2020 – $2,779,292).
This value was split between common shares and warrants as $183,879 (2020 – $1,170,060) and $154,265 (2020 – $1,609,232), respectively.

During the six months ended February 28, 2021, 2020 Series convertible debentures with a principal amount of $11,276,393 (2020 – nil) were converted or settled into 1,503,519 units, and as a result, the Company issued 1,503,519 common shares and 1,109,306 warrants. The fair value of the convertible debentures at the time of conversion or settlement was estimated using the binomial lattice model with the below assumptions:
Share price of $7.79; term of 1.61 – 1.77 years; conversion price of $7.50; warrant exercise price of $15.00, interest rate of 10%; expected volatility of 98.5%; risk-free interest rate of 0.12% - 0.13%; and an expected dividend yield of 0%. The fair value assigned to these convertible debentures was $15,849,204.
This value was split between common shares and warrants as $11,727,996 and $4,121,208, respectively.

(b) | Issuances during the period |
During the six months ended February 28, 2021, 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.
On December 1, 2020, the EB Loan was amended (Note 14(c)). The amendment extended the maturity date by one year and added a conversion feature to $1 million of the $5 million principal outstanding. The conversion feature allowed the holder to convert $1 million into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $11.25 per common share. On February 24, 2021, the Company extinguished the Amended EB Loan and issued the Lender a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $5 million. The EB CD 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 EB CD. The EB CD has a term of three years.
The fair value of the Amended EB Loan on December 1, 2020 was $5,043,103. The carrying value of the former EB Loan on December 1, 2020, consisted of $5 million in principal and 76,412 in accrued interest, for total carrying value on the amendment date of 5,076,412. As a result, a gain on extinguishment of debt of $33,309 was recognized. The fair value of the EB CD on the date of issuance of February 24, 2021 was $7,394,022. The fair value of the Amended EB Loan on February 24, 2021 was $4,931,813. As a result, a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2,462,209 was recognized. The above two transactions resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of $2,428,900.
As of February 28, 2021, the fair value of the 2019 Series convertible debentures was estimated using the binomial lattice model with the below assumptions:
2019 Series | | February 28, 2021 (CA$) | | | 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. As of February 28, 2021, the Company had not obtained registration rights in the United States. As such, the conversion price is $7.50 per Unit and the interest rate increased to 10% on December 19, 2020.
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.

(f) | 2020 Series – Standby (cont’d) |
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. The remaining $6,000,000 of convertible debentures that are issuable under this facility have substantially similar terms as the 2020 Series debentures, including conversion into units consisting of one share and one-half warrant, provided that the conversion price of any additional convertible debentures will be based on the market price of the common shares at the time of such subscriptions and are subject to TSX-V approval.
As of February 28, 2021, the fair value of the 2020 Series convertible debentures was estimated using the binomial lattice model with the below assumptions:
2020 Series | | February 28, 2021 (US$) | | | August 31, 2020 (US$) | |

On February 24, 2021, the Company extinguished the Amended EB Loan and issued the Lender a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $5 million (the “EB CD”). The EB CD 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 EB CD. The EB CD has a term of three years. As of February 28, 2021, the fair value of the EB CD convertible debenture was estimated using the binomial lattice model with the below assumptions:

As of February 28, 2021, the fair value of the 5,925,524 warrants outstanding (August 31, 2020 – 2,405,369) was determined to be $31,420,496 (August 31, 2020 – $14,135,321) as calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following range of assumptions: 0.19 – 3.47 years (August 31, 2020 – 0.23 – 3.94) as expected average life; share price of CAD$14.15 (August 31, 2020 – CAD$11.65); exercise price of CAD$7.50 – CAD$205.20 (August 31, 2020 – CAD$7.50 – CAD$205.20); 70% - 136% expected volatility (August 31, 2020 – 115% - 136%); risk free interest rate of 0.13% - 0.53% (August 31, 2020 – 0.23% - 0.32%); and an expected dividend yield of 0%.
If all warrants outstanding and exercisable as of February 28, 2021 were exercised, the Company would receive cash from exercise of approximately $73.7 million.
17. | Warrant liability (cont’d) |

A 3.49 – 3.90 years as expected average life (February 29, 2020 – 4.56 to 4.91); share price of CAD$9.50 – $11.51 (February 29, 2020 – CAD$19.35 – 25.65); exercise price of CAD$7.50 (February 29, 2020 – CAD$7.50); 98.5% - 136% expected volatility (February 29, 2020 – 136%); risk free interest rate of 0.25% - 0.30% (February 29, 2020 – 1.64% and 1.71%); and an expected dividend yield of 0% (February 29, 2020 – 0%).
Volatility is calculated using a weighted approach based on the changes in the Company’s historical stock price. 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.

In January and February 2021, the Company closed on the issuance of 4,371,767 units (the “Units”) for gross proceeds of $32,788,253 of non-brokered private placements. 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 $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 $30,000,000, and (iii) the closing price of the common shares on NASDAQ is $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.
The Company paid cash commissions to eligible finders under the offering of $1,681,477 and regulatory and legal fees of $89,402. Net cash proceeds from the offering amounted to $31,017,374.
In addition to the cash finder’s fees discussed above, the Company issued the following securities as partial payment of commissions to finders: 63,666 Units; and, 159,554 finders warrants, with each finder warrant exercisable into a common share at an exercise price of US$15.00 per share for 3 years subject to the same acceleration terms described above.
The total number of common shares issued as a result of the private placements totaled 4,435,433, which was comprised of 4,371,767 Units issued for proceeds and 63,666 Units issued as partial payment to finders. The total number of warrants issued totaled 2,377,272, which was comprised of warrants issued as part of the Units issued of 2,217,718 (50% of Units issued) and 159,554 finders warrants issued.
The total amount recorded to shareholder’s equity (deficit) resulting from the private placements of Units amounted to $24,225,901. This amount is comprised of the following: (i) $26,185,009 allocated to the common shares issued of total gross proceeds of $32,788,253, with $6,603,244 being allocated to the warrants; plus (ii) $383,720 allocated to the common shares issued of total fair value of finder’s Units of $477,495, with $93,775 being allocated to the warrants; less share issue costs totaling $2,925,161 comprised of the following; (i) total fair value of finder’s Units of $477,495; plus (ii) total fair value of finder’s warrants of $676,787; plus (iii) cash finder’s fees of $1,681,477; plus (iv) regulatory and legal fees of $89,402; less (v) portion of total share issuance costs allocated to the warrants issued of $582,333. As the warrants issued are accounted for at FVTPL, these share issuance costs were recorded within transaction costs on the Statements of Loss and Comprehensive Loss.

Of the 236,427 options outstanding as of February 28, 2021 (August 31, 2020 – 253,121), 203,899 are exercisable as of February 28, 2021 (August 31, 2020 – 191,730). During the six months ended February 28, 2021, share-based compensation expense for the Company’s stock options was $70,118 (February 29, 2020 – $16,914).
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.
The Company’s outstanding RSUs are as follows:
| | Number | |
| | # | |
| | | |
Balance, August 31, 2019 and February 29, 2020 | | | - | |

Cancelled | | | - | |
Balance, February 28, 2021 | | | 582,309 | |
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 six months ended February 28, 2021, share-based compensation expense for the Company’s RSUs was $1,708,515 (February 29, 2020 – $nil).

The Company considers its capital to be its shareholders’ equity.
As of February 28, 2021, the Company had shareholders’ equity before non-controlling interests of $5,110,499 (August 31, 2020 – $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 and six months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020.
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 and six months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020.
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 February 28, 2021, no provision has been made in these unaudited 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.

22. | Commitments and contingencies (cont’d) |
(c) | Litigation and arbitration (cont’d) |
In response, in November 2020, the shareholders of Allinsports commenced arbitration in Alberta, Canada 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. A hearing in this matter was held in May of 2021, with related briefing and oral argument to occur in June and July of 2021.
Separately, in April of 2021, the Company received a copy of a complaint filed by 3CI Holdings, LLP in the Circuit Court for the 11th Judicial Circuit for Miami-Dade naming Allinsports, A1 Simulation LLC (an entity purported to be a subsidiary of Allinsports), and the Company, seeking to hold the parties, including Company, responsible for unpaid rent under a lease agreement between 3CI’s predecessors in interest and A1 Simulation, and seeking damages of at least $2.89 million. The Company does not believe that this action has merit.
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.
23. | Discontinued operations |
On November 3, 2020, the Company, following a detailed strategic review in connection with the merger of Torque Esports, Frankly and WinView, announced that it has completed the sale of IDEAS+CARS, The Race Media, WTF1, Driver DataDB and Lets Go Racing (collectively the “Motorsport Group”) to Ideas + Cars Holdings Limited, a third party investment group based in the UK. As a result, the Company is eliminating its funding obligations related to the cost of maintaining and growing these auto media businesses and certain accrued liabilities. Accordingly, the operational results for this group have been presented as a discontinued operation.

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 of February 28, 2021 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 of February 28, 2021 (August 31, 2020 – 13%). During the six months ended February 28, 2021, one customer represented 59% 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 of February 28, 2021:

| |
(c) | Liquidity risk |
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, 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.
