has an accumulated deficit of $
These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Statement of compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounts Standards (“IAS”) 34, “Condensed Interim Financial Reporting” using accounting policies consistent with 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”) on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2021.
This condensed interim financial report does not include all of the information required of a full annual financial report and is intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period.

Basis of presentation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, except for certain financial assets and liabilities, including derivative instruments that are measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars unless otherwise noted.
As at November 30, 2021, the Company changed its accounting policy to present its results in United States dollars (“USD”) instead of Canadian dollars “(“CAD”) as done previously. This accounting change has been applied retrospectively in preparing these financial statements; as such, all comparative figures have been restated to reflect this change.

Basis of consolidation (continued)
On December 14, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of iGEMS, a Delaware corporation (Note 3).
On March 7, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of DCU, a Malta corporation. (Note 3).
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has exposure to variable returns from its involvement and has the ability to use power over the investee to affect its returns. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company until the date on which control ceases.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the period. Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and judgements made by management in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are outlined below.
Uncertainty of COVID-19 pandemic
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally, initially leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our services and solutions and harm our business and results of operations; however, the Company has also recognized that the pandemic has led to a global increase in screen time which is beneficial to the Company’s operations. As countries continue to re-open from the pandemic, it is possible that screen time will decrease which may adversely affect the Company; however, it also leads to an increase in film and TV content being produced as film and TV producers are able to travel and continue operations leading to an increase in content available for the Company to package, finance, deliver, and monetize. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business, results of operations, or how it will impact the Company’s ability to conduct financings at this time.
Functional currency
Management is required to assess the functional currency of each entity of the Company. In concluding on the functional currencies of the parent and its subsidiaries, management considered the currency that mainly influences the sale prices of goods and services and the cost of providing goods and services in each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. When no single currency was clearly dominant, the Company also considered secondary indicators including the currency in which funds from financing activities are denominated and the currency in which funds are retained.

(Expressed in United States Dollars - Unaudited) |
| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Use of estimates (continued)
Level of control or influence over companies
The accounting for investments in other companies can vary depending on the degree of control and influence over those other companies. Management is required to assess at each reporting date the Company’s control and influence over these other companies. Management has used its judgment to determine which companies are controlled and require consolidation and those which are significantly influenced and require equity accounting. The Company had considered its ownership position in Waterproof Studios Inc. (“Waterproof”) and determined it did not have the ability to influence the key operating activities of the entity. Accordingly, the Company accounted for its investment under fair value through profit or loss (Note 8) up to the disposal date of October 18, 2021.
Income taxes
In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets, management makes estimates related to expectation of future taxable income, applicable tax opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified.
Determination of Cash Generating Units (“CGUs”)
CGUs are the lowest level within an entity at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes which is not higher than an operating segment. The Company has assessed that each acquired entity is a separate CGU.
Valuation of share-based compensation and derivatives
The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based compensation and other equity based payments, excluding contingent consideration. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate, and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s earnings and equity reserves.
Valuation of contingent consideration
The Company uses a probability scenario based approached for valuation of share-based contingent consideration relating to the IndieFlix and iGEMS acquisitions (Note 3). Under the probability scenario based approach, management calculates the probability that the contingent shares will be issued under a low case, base case, and high case scenario. Changes in the probabilities can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s earnings and equity reserves.
The Company uses a combination of Monte-Carlo simulation and Finnerty Put Option model (the “Consideration Valuation Model”) for valuation of share-based contingent consideration relating to the DCU acquisition (Note 3). The Consideration Valuation Model requires the input of subjective assumptions including: expected share price volatility, revenue correlation, and estimated number of shares to be issued. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s earnings and equity reserves.
Valuation of intangible assets
Intangible assets are assessed for impairment indicators at each reporting date. Management first reviews qualitative factors in determining if an impairment needs to be recorded. Quantitative factors are then used to calculate the amount of impairment, if needed.

| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Use of estimates (continued)
Valuation of investment in equity instrument
The Company values its equity instruments in private companies at fair value at each reporting date. The determination of fair value is based on estimates made by management on the expected earnings before income, taxes, and amortization multiplied by a reasonable factor for the appropriate industry applicable to the private company.
Estimation of expected credit loss
Loans receivable are assessed for an estimated credit loss at each reporting date. The estimated loss is determined based on management’s knowledge of the debtor and their ability to repay the loan. As the current debtors’ are private entities, management must rely on assertions provided to them from the debtor to make their estimates.
Valuation of convertible debentures
The equity portion of the convertible debenture is calculated using a discounted cash flow method which requires management to make an estimate on an appropriate discount rate.
Valuation of right-of-use asset and lease liability
The application of IFRS 16 requires the Company to make judgments that affect the valuation of the right-of-use assets and the valuation of lease liabilities. These include: determining the contract term and determining the interest rate used for discounting of future cash flows.
The lease term determined by the Company is comprised of the non-cancellable period of lease agreements, periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option.
The present value of the lease payment is determined using a discount rate representing the rate of a commercial mortgage rate, observed in the period when the lease agreement commences or is modified.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the Company is USD and the function currency of its subsidiaries are the USD, the Euro, the Czech Koruna, the British Pound, and the South African Rand. The functional currency of Waterproof was the CAD. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded at exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period end exchange rate while non-monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates approximating those in effect during the reporting period.
For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s non USD operations are translated to USD at the exchange rate at the reporting date. The income and expenses are translated using average rates. Foreign currency differences that arise on translation for consolidation purposes are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Equipment
Equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in profit or loss.
Assets under construction are not depreciated until available for their intended use.
Depreciation is charged over the estimated useful lives using the declining balance method as follows:
| Computer equipment | % | |||
| Equipment | % | |||
| Vehicles | % |
Intangible assets
The Company has intangible assets from acquisitions and development of gaming content and films. The amortization method, useful life and residual values are assessed annually and the assets are tested for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Amortization expense is recorded on a straight-line basis beginning with the month the corresponding assets are available for use and over the estimated useful lives provided below:
| Video game catalogues | ||
| Platform coding and technology | ||
| Distribution libraries | ||
| Customer relationships | ||
| Brands |
Upon retirement or disposal, the cost of the asset disposed of and the related accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in profit and loss. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Development expenditures, including the cost of material, direct labour, and other direct costs are recognized as an intangible asset when the following recognition requirements are met:
| · | the development costs can be measured reliably; |
| · | the project is technically and commercially feasible; |
| · | the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete the project; |
| · | the Company has the ability to use or sell the asset, and |
| · | the asset will generate probable future economic benefits. |
Intangible assets being developed are amortized once development is complete.
Video game catalogues
The video game catalogues are made
up of a diverse variety of games, ranging in age and popularity. The catalogues are unique due to the diverse nature of the products within
the catalogues, making it difficult to assign a useful life. The useful life of

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. At August 31, 2022, the Company performed its impairment review of goodwill by comparing each cost center’s fair value to the net book value including goodwill. At August 31, 2022, the Company has determined that it has three cost centers: IndieFlix, iGEMS, and DCU. The fair value of each cost center was determined by management based on a valuation using the income approach. The income approach uses future projections of cash flows from the cost center and includes, among other estimates, projections of future revenue and operating expenses, market supply and demand, projected capital spending and an assumption of the weighted average cost of capital. Management’s evaluation of fair values includes analysis based on the future cash flows generated by the underlying assets, estimated trends and other relevant determinants of fair value for these assets. Management has determined that no events have occurred subsequent to the date of the assessment that would require a further impairment review of goodwill.

Credit facility
In fiscal 2016 a CAD$2,500,000 Credit
facility was secured by assets of the Company under a general security agreement with a due date of November 30, 2018 and an interest
rate of
In June 2018, a new lender acquired the remaining $563,850 (CAD$750,000) loan and under new terms, the loan was due on August 20, 2018. The new lender obtained a Limited Power of Attorney over the Company’s 49% interest in Waterproof (“Waterproof POA”). In December 2018, the lender registered a general security agreement over all the Company’s current and future assets.
In November 2019, the new lender signed a Forebearance Agreement which extended the maturity date of the loan to November 30, 2020 and required the Company to make quarterly payments of CAD$250,000 commencing on March 31, 2020 until the principal and interest on the loan have been paid in full. In accordance with the Forbearance Agreement, the Company issued 215,000 treasury shares of the Company as security for the loan which will be transferred to the lender upon any default of the loan. Additionally, the new lender released the Waterproof POA and amended their general security agreement to exclude the Company’s investment in Waterproof. In March 2020, the new lender provided an extension allowing the delay of the quarterly payments to commence June 30, 2020.
During the year ended November 30,
2020, the Company repaid a further $385,650 (CAD$500,000) for this loan of which $85,388 (CAD$110,707) was applied to the principal and
$300,262 (CAD$389,293) was applied to the outstanding interest. As at November 30, 2020, interest of $
In February 2021, the new lender agreed to accept the 215,000 treasury shares held as security as full and final payment of the Forbearance Agreement (Note 19). Accordingly, the transfer of the 215,000 treasury shares resulted in a gain on debt settlement of $37,359 as the treasury shares were valued at $479,450 on the date of issuance to settle the outstanding principal of $498,329 and interest of $18,481.

| 17. | CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (continued) |
On February 28, 2019, the Company closed its private placement offering of unsecured convertible debentures raising $2,678,000. Each debenture matured two years from closing, bore interest at 2% per annum, and was convertible into units at a price of $1.50 per unit. Each unit consisted of one common share and one share purchase warrant with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company for $1.75 up to February 28, 2021. In January 2021, the Company agreed to extend the maturity date and associated warrant expiry date for one debenture holder by one year.
For accounting purposes, the convertible
debentures are separated into their liability and equity components by first valuing the liability component. The fair value of the liability
component at the time of issue was calculated as the discounted cash flows for the convertible debentures assuming a 12% discount rate,
which was the estimated rate for a similar debenture without a conversion feature. The fair value of the equity component (conversion
feature) was determined at the time of issue as the difference between the face value of the convertible debentures and the fair value
of the liability component, less a deferred income tax adjustment to reflect the book to tax difference in value of the convertible debentures
at the time of issuance. As the Company has excess tax assets to offset the deferred tax liability, which was created from the book to
tax difference in value of the convertible debentures, the deferred tax liability was reversed, resulting in a deferred tax recovery of
$
During the year ended November 30, 2021, debentures of $401,677 were converted into 270,000 units of the Company of which $nil was allocated to reserves relating to the value of the warrants issued. As a result, the Company transferred $49,967 from reserves to share capital representing the proportionate balance of the equity component.

SBA loan
In June 2020, IndieFlix obtained a $150,000 U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan which increased to $200,000 upon receiving a further $50,000 in July 2020. The SBA loan bears interest at 3.75% from the date of the advance and requires monthly payments of $1,023 commencing 24 months from the date of the first advance. The balance of principal and interest will be repayable over 30 years from the date of the first advance. The SBA loan is secured by a continuing security interest in all of IndieFlix’s current and future assets.
The loan is being accreting to its face value at an effective rate of 6.25% over the term of the loan.
On March 17, 2022, SBA provided an additional six month deferment for IndieFlix’s SBA Loan where the first payment has been deferred to 30 months from the date of the first advance from 24 months. The value of the benefit received from SBA was valued at $5,967 and is included in interest and other income in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

Derivative liability
On June 8, 2020, the Company closed a registered direct offering, under its F-3 registration statement in the United States, by issuing 2,666,672 common shares of the Company at $1.50 per common share for total proceeds of $4,000,002. Concurrent with this offering, the Company issued to the investors 1,333,334 share purchase warrants exercisable for $1.88 per common share with a maturity date of June 9, 2025. The holders of the Cashless Warrants may elect, if the Company does not have an effective registration statement registering or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the issuance of the Cashless Warrant shares to the holder, in lieu of exercising the Cashless Warrants for cash, a cashless exercise option to receive common shares equal to the fair value of the Cashless Warrants. The fair value is determined by multiplying the number of Cashless Warrants to be exercised by the previous day’s volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) less the exercise price with the difference divided by the VWAP. If a Cashless Warrant holder exercises this option, there will be variability in the number of shares issued per Cashless Warrant.
On initial recognition, the
Company allocated $351,779, being the fair value of the Cashless Warrants, from the proceeds of the offering included in share
capital to set up the derivative liability. On March 24, 2021, the Company’s registration statement restricting the Cashless
Warrant holders ability to elect to cashless exercise their Cashless Warrants became effective resulting in the Company revaluing
the derivative liability to $nil and recording a loss of $
On March 24, 2021, the Company revalued the derivative liability to $3,226,693 using the following Black Scholes assumptions: risk –free rate of $0.10%, dividend yield of nil, expected life of 0.01 years, and volatility of $150%. The Company transferred $423,503 from derivative liability to share capital in connection with the exercise of 175,000 Cashless Warrants on March 24, 2021 and reversed the remaining derivative liability on the expiry of the cashless exercise feature.

The Company defines its capital as components of shareholders’ equity. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company manages its capital structure to maximize its financial flexibility making adjustments to it in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business opportunities. The Company does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital. There were no changes to the Company’s capital management during the nine months ended August 31, 2022. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.
| 22. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT |
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
| · | Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| · | Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and |
| · | Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumption that market participants would use in pricing. |
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable, corporate income taxes payable, and long-term debt. The fair value of receivables, accounts payable, and corporate income taxes payable approximates their carrying values. Long-term debt has been valued using a valuation methodology on initial recognition. Cash and restricted cash is measured at fair value using level 1 inputs. The derivative liability for the warrants is measured using level 2 inputs. The derivative liability for the contingent consideration was measured at fair value using level 3 inputs.

| 23. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) |
As at August 31, 2022, the fair value
of the level 3 derivative liability was $
The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities including currency, credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk.
| a) | Currency risk |
Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s operations are carried out in Canada, the United States, Czech Republic, England, South Africa, and Malta. The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk on its net assets denominated in currencies other than the USD which could have an adverse effect on the profitability of the Company. As at August 31, 2022, the Company had net assets (liabilities) totaling CAD ($274,047.32), Euro (€602,021), British Pound (£206,917), CZK 1,793,287, and ZAR (2,554,635) which equates to $1,131,186. A 10% change in the exchange rate would change comprehensive income (loss) by approximately $113,000. The Company currently does not have plans to enter into foreign currency future contracts to mitigate this risk, however it may do so in the future.
| b) | Credit risk |
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation.
The Company’s cash is held in large Canadian, United States, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, and South African financial institutions. The Company maintains certain cash deposits with Schedule I financial institutions, which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any significant credit losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk. The Company’s sales tax receivable is due from various government agencies; therefore, the credit risk exposure is low.
The maximum exposure to credit risk
as at August 31, 2022 is the carrying value of the receivables and loans receivable. The Company has allowed for an expected credit loss
of $

In evaluating performance, management does not distinguish or group its sales and cost of sales on a geographic basis. As at August 31, 2021, the Company determined it had two reportable operating segments: the investment in film and television entertainment and the investment in video games. Due to Company impairing the video game segment assets and ceasing to operate that segment at November 30, 2021, the Company determined the investment in film and television entertainment segment was its only reportable segment at August 31, 2022.
Revenue derived in the Company’s film and television entertainment segment, and previously held video games segment, is earned from a large number of customers located throughout the world but mostly located in North America, representing approximately 78% of sales, and Europe, representing approximately 16% of sales. During the nine months ended August 31, 2022, two customers accounted for 25% (August 31, 2021 – no customer accounted for more than 5%) of the Company’s sales.
Below summarizes the Company’s reportable operating segments for nine months ended August 31, 2021.
