INTRODUCTION

The terms the “Company”, “LMG”, “Liquid”, “we”, “us” and “our” as used in this Annual Report on Form 20-F, or “Annual Report,” refer to Liquid Media Group Ltd. and its consolidated subsidiaries or predessesor entities (including Leading Brands, Inc.), except where the context requires otherwise.

Unless otherwise specified, all references to “dollars” or “$” in this Annual Report are expressed in Canadian dollars (“C$”), unless otherwise indicated, and all references to “U.S. dollars,” or “US$” are expressed in the currency of the United States of America.

Forward-Looking Statements.

This Annual Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Statements which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. The Company, through its management, makes forward-looking statements concerning its expected future operations, performance, results and other developments. The words “may,” “continue,” “plan,” “believe,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate,” “predict” and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to, among other things:

Our business plan to create a vertically-integrated cloud-based global content production studio;

Our expectations regarding market acceptance of our gaming, tv and film offerings;

Our intention to make strategic acquisitions to grow our business;

Our expectations regarding litigation risks and outcomes;

Our plan to raise capital through a crowd-funding portal;

The effectiveness of steps taken to protect our intellectual property and our beliefs about non-infringement of the intellectual property of others; and

Our status as a foreign private issuer and our belief that we are not a Passive Foreign Investment Company.

Such forward-looking statements are estimates reflecting the Company’s judgment based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that other factors will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking statements. It is impossible to identify all such factors. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the Company include, but are not limited to, those listed under “Item 3.D. Risk Factors,” as well as general economic conditions, changing trends in the film and gaming media industries, pricing, economic uncertainties (including currency exchange rates), government regulation, managing and maintaining growth, the effect of adverse publicity, litigation, competition and other factors which may be identified from time to time in the Company’s public announcements. Events may occur in the future that the Company is unable to accurately predict, or over which it has no control. If one or more of those uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report.

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING LINKS TO EXTERNAL WEBSITES

Links to external, or third-party websites, are provided solely for convenience. We take no responsibility whatsoever for any third-party information contained in such third-party websites, and we specifically disclaim adoption or incorporation by reference of such information into this report.

FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER FILINGS

We are considered a “foreign private issuer” pursuant to Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act. In our capacity as a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of our shares. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information.

For as long as we are a “foreign private issuer” we intend to file our annual financial statements on Form 20-F and furnish our quarterly financial statements on Form 6-K to the SEC for so long as we are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13(g) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. However, the information we file or furnish may not be the same as the information that is required in annual and quarterly reports on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q for U.S. domestic issuers. Accordingly, there may be less information publicly available concerning us than there is for a company that files as a domestic issuer.

We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We are required to determine our status as a foreign private issuer on an annual basis at the end of our second fiscal quarter. We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by United States residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (1) the majority of our executive officers or directors are United States citizens or residents; (2) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States; or (3) our business is administered principally in the United States. If we lose our “foreign private issuer status” we would be required to comply with Exchange Act reporting and other requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, which are more detailed and extensive than the requirement for “foreign private issuers”.

Risk factors.

Risks Related To Our Business

Our business and operations are subject to numerous risks. The following risks should be considered in conjunction with “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects”. These risks may affect our operating results and, individually or in the aggregate, could cause our actual results to differ materially from past and anticipated future results. Additional risks not currently known by us or that we consider immaterial at the present time may also impair our business, financial condition, prospects or results of operations. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, prospects or results of operations would likely be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common shares could decline and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common shares. The risks set out below are not the only risks and uncertainties we currently face; other risks may arise in the future. The following discussion of risks may contain forward-looking statements as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Risk Related to Our Business and Our Industry

Our limited operating history and our evolving business make it difficult to evaluate our results of operations and prospects.

Our company was created on August 8, 2018 as the resulting issuer of a business combination by plan of arrangement between Liquid Media Group (Canada) Ltd. (fka Liquid Media Group Ltd.) (“Liquid Canada”) and Leading Brands, Inc. (“LBIX”). We cannot assure you that our revenue will increase, or that we will be able to operate profitably in future periods. Our limited operating history and evolving business make the prediction of future results of operations difficult and, therefore, past results should not be taken as indicative of our future performance. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and challenges that we will face as an early-stage gaming, TV, film media and entertainment company operating in highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and challenging markets. If we fail to address the risks and challenges that we face, including those described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We are in the initial phase of executing our business plan and we cannot guarantee that our intended business will be successful.

We are in an early phase of development and are just beginning to implement our business plan. We cannot guarantee that our vision for a vertically-integrated, cloud-based global studio, producing content for all platforms through a network of shared services will be successful, or that we will be able to develop our gaming and media content as we intend to do, acquire additional content for development and franchising, and create the cloud-based network for global content development that form parts of our business plan. We also may not be successful in raising the financing that we are hoping to raise through our planned crowdfunding portal for funding of our projects in the gaming, film and TV industry segments.

Our business is intensely competitive and “hit” driven. If we do not deliver “hit” products and services, or if consumers prefer our competitors’ products or services over our own, our operating results could suffer.

Competition in our industry is intense and we expect new competitors to continue to emerge throughout the world. Our competitors range from large established companies to emerging start-ups. In our industry, though many new products and services are regularly introduced, only a relatively small number of “hit” titles accounts for a significant portion of total revenue for the industry. We do not yet have a significant number of titles that we develop and the underperformance of a title may have a large adverse impact on our financial results. Also, hit products or services offered by our competitors may take a larger share of consumer spending than we anticipate, which could cause revenue generated from our products and services to fall below expectations.

In addition, both the online and mobile games marketplaces are characterized by frequent product introductions, relatively low barriers to entry, and new and evolving business methods, technologies and platforms for development. We expect competition in these markets to intensify. If our competitors develop and market more successful products or services, offer competitive products or services at lower price points or based on payment models perceived as offering a better value proposition (such as free-to-play or subscription-based models), or if we do not continue to develop consistently high-quality and well-received products and services, our revenue, margins, and profitability will decline.

We have a history of operating losses and negative cash flow and we may never achieve profitability.

We have a history of operating losses and negative cash flows. Indeed, we only began generating revenue in fiscal year 2018. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we increase our sales and marketing activities, and continue to develop our technology, products, projects, and services. For example, we will need additional funds to add to our content library and for development costs incurred to develop new games and redevelop our retro games, for production costs incurred in connection with the development of film and tv projects, costs related to our cloud-based network initiative, and for licensing and distribution expenses. These efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate and we may incur significant additional costs and expenses in connection with our business development activities. In addition, our film and gaming content creation operations are relatively capital intensive while revenue-generating opportunities depend on the availability of projects in the market. During periods of low project volumes, fixed costs can result in operating losses. All of these costs and expenses could prevent us from achieving or maintaining profitability in future periods.

We lack adequate financing and may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We have limited capital and we may require funds in excess of our existing cash resources to fund operating deficits, develop new products or services, establish and expand our marketing capabilities, and finance general

and administrative activities. We do not currently generate sufficient cash from our businesses to fund our operations. We do not have any bank credit facility or other working capital credit line under which we may borrow funds for working capital or other general corporate purposes. We have plans to implement a crowdfunding portal through which we may raise money from investors to fund our operations in the gaming, film and TV industry segments, but we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in raising the funds we need in that manner. If we do not have, or are not able to obtain, sufficient funds, we may have to delay strategic opportunities, investments, or projects. If we are unable to raise adequate funds, we may have to liquidate some or all of our assets, or delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate some or all of our creative work. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We are subject to product development risks which could result in delays and additional costs, and we must adapt to changes in software technologies.

We depend on our internal development studios and third-party software developers to develop new interactive entertainment software within anticipated release schedules and cost projections. The development cycle for emulated titles generally ranges from 3 months to 12 months and for new titles 6 months to 2 years . Therefore our development costs can be substantial. If we or our third party developers experience unanticipated development delays, financial difficulties or additional costs, we may not be able to release titles according to our schedule and at budgeted costs. There can be no assurance that our products will be sufficiently successful so that we can recoup these costs or make a profit on these products.

In addition, there are substantial risks that there will be no or an insufficient market for the titles developed. In such event, we will likely suffer losses, and to the extent that we are unable to develop any games or film titles which generate a sufficient interest in the market to provide profits, funding, capital or a return. In such event, we may suffer significant losses.

Additionally, in order to stay competitive, our internal development studios must anticipate and adapt to rapid technological changes affecting software development. Any inability to respond to technological advances and implement new technologies could render our products obsolete or less marketable. Further, the failure to pursue the development of new technology, platforms, or business models that obtain meaningful commercial success in a timely manner may negatively affect our business, resulting in increased production costs and more strenuous competition.

Programming errors or flaws in our games could harm our reputation or decrease market acceptance of our games, which would harm our operating results.

Our games may contain errors, bugs, flaws or corrupted data, and these defects may only become apparent after their launch, particularly as we launch new games and rapidly release new features to existing games under tight time constraints. We believe that if our players have a negative experience with our games, they may be less inclined to continue, or resume playing our games or recommend our games to other potential players. Undetected programming errors, game defects and data corruption can disrupt our operations, adversely affect the game experience of our players by allowing players to gain unfair advantage, harm our reputation, cause our players to stop playing our games, divert our resources and delay market acceptance of our games, any of which could result in legal liability to us or harm our operating results.

Competition within, and to, the media and entertainment industries is intense, and our competitors may be able to draw upon a greater depth and breadth of resources than those available to us.

We operate in highly competitive markets characterized by pressure to innovate, expand feature sets and functionality, accelerate new product releases and reduce prices. Within the video game segment of the entertainment industry, we compete with other publishers of entertainment software developed for use on the PC, video game consoles and handheld, mobile and tablet devices or social networking sites. Our competitors

include very large corporations with significantly greater financial, marketing and product development resources than we have. A relatively small number of titles account for a significant portion of net revenues, and an even greater portion of net profit, in the game entertainment industry, and the availability of significant financial resources is a major competitive factor in the production of high-quality products and in the marketing of products that are ultimately well-received. Our larger competitors may be able to deliver greater innovation, respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in market demand, devote more resources to the development, marketing and sale of their products, successfully expand into emerging and other international markets, or price their products more aggressively than we can. If our competitors are more successful than we are in developing products, or in attracting and retaining customers, our financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our growth relies on market acceptance.

While we believe that there will be significant customer demand for our game, tv, and film offerings and services, there is no assurance that there will be broad market acceptance of our offerings. There also may not be broad market acceptance of our offerings if our competitors offer products or services that are preferred by prospective customers. Customers consider many factors when evaluating our products relative to those of our competitors, including innovation, ease of use, price, feature sets, functionality, reliability, performance, reputation, and training and support, and we may not compare favorably against our competitors in all respects. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful in the near future, or at all, or that our competitors will not take significant market share in similar efforts. If we fail to develop new products and to manage new product introductions and transitions properly, or if our offerings do not receive market acceptance, our financial condition and operating results could be harmed.

We process, store and use personal information and other data, which subjects us to governmental regulation and other legal obligations related to privacy, and our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business.

We receive, store and process personal information and other player data, and we enable our players to share their personal information with each other and with third parties, including on the internet and mobile platforms. There are numerous federal, state and local laws around the world regarding privacy and the storing, sharing, use, processing, disclosure and protection of personal information and other player data on the Internet and mobile platforms, the scope of which are changing, subject to differing interpretations, and may be inconsistent between countries or conflict with other rules. We generally comply with industry standards and are subject to the terms of our own privacy policies and privacy-related obligations to third parties (including voluntary third-party certification bodies such as TRUSTe). We strive to comply with all applicable laws, policies, legal obligations and certain industry codes of conduct relating to privacy and data protection, to the extent reasonably attainable. However, it is possible that these obligations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with our privacy policies, our privacy-related obligations to players or other third parties, or our privacy related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release or transfer of personally identifiable information or other player data, may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others and could cause our players to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Additionally, if third parties we work with, such as players, vendors or developers, violate applicable laws or our policies, such violations may also put our players' information at risk and could in turn have an adverse effect on our business.

In the area of information security and data protection, many states have passed laws requiring notification to players when there is a security breach for personal data, such as the 2002 amendment to California's Information Practices Act, or requiring the adoption of minimum information security standards that are often vaguely defined and difficult to practically implement. The costs of compliance with these laws may increase in

the future as a result of changes in interpretation. Furthermore, any failure on our part to comply with these laws may subject us to significant liabilities.

In operating our media and entertainment business, we may fail to launch new products according to our timetable, and our new products may not be commercially successful.

In order for our media and entertainment business strategy to succeed over time, we will need to license, acquire, or develop new digital entertainment products that can generate additional revenue and diversify our revenue sources. A number of factors, including technical difficulties, government approvals and licenses of intellectual property right required for launching new products, lack of sufficient development personnel and other resources, and adverse developments in our relationship with the licensors of our new licensed products could result in delay in launching our new products. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet our timetable for development of our business.

There are many factors that may adversely affect the popularity of our new products. For example, we may fail to anticipate and adapt to future technical trends and new business models, fail to satisfy consumer preferences and requirements, fail to effectively plan and organize marketing and promotion activities, fail to effectively detect and prevent programming errors or defects in the products, and fail to operate our new products at acceptable costs. We cannot assure you that our new products will gain market acceptance and become commercially successful. If we are not able to license, develop or acquire additional digital entertainment products that are commercially successful, our future revenues and profitability may decline. If our games and other entertainment offerings do not meet consumer expectations, whether because they fail to function as advertised or otherwise, our sales may suffer. If our games and services do not function as consumers expect, it may negatively impact our business.

Our industry is subject to rapid technological change, and if we do not adapt to, and appropriately allocate our new resources among, emerging technologies and business models, our business may be negatively impacted.

The entertainment industry in general, and the gaming, tv and film segments thereof in particular, are rapidly evolving, primarily as a result of free content, minimal entry costs for creation and distribution, and expanded use of mobile devices. We must continually anticipate and adapt our products to emerging technologies, delivery platforms and business models in order to stay competitive and try to predict and prepare for rapid changes in consumer demand that could materially alter public preferences for different forms of entertainment and leisure activities. The rapid growth of technology and shifting consumer tastes prevent us from being able to accurately predict the overall effect that technological growth may have on our potential revenue and profitability. When we choose to incorporate a new technology into a product or to develop a product for a new platform, operating system or media format, we often are required to make a substantial investment prior to the introduction of the product. If we invest in the development of products incorporating a new technology or for a new platform that does not achieve significant commercial success, our revenues from those products likely will be lower than we anticipated and may not cover our development costs. Further, our competitors may adapt to an emerging technology or business model more quickly or effectively than we do, creating products that are technologically superior to ours, more appealing to consumers, or both. If, on the other hand, we elect not to pursue the development of products incorporating a new technology or for new platforms, or otherwise elect not to pursue a new business model, that achieves significant commercial success, it may have adverse consequences. It may take significant time and resources to shift product development resources to that technology, platform or business model, as the case may be, and may be more difficult to compete against existing products incorporating that technology or for that platform or against companies using that business model. Any failure to successfully adapt to, and appropriately allocate resources among, emerging technologies and to keep pace with rapid technological change could negatively impact our business and prevent us from achieving profitability or sustaining a meaningful market position.

Our business is subject to our ability to develop commercially successful products for the current video game platforms.

We are a provider of video game products primarily for the casual-game consumer and have published video games for interactive entertainment hardware platforms, including Nintendo’s DS, 3DS, Wii and WiiU, Sony’s PlayStation 3 and 4, or PS3 and PS4, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Xbox One and the personal computer, or PC. The success of our business is subject to the continued popularity of these platforms and our ability to develop commercially successful products for these platforms.

Companies and governmental agencies may restrict access to our website, other websites that carry our products, mobile applications or the internet, generally, which could lead to losses or slower growth due to the effects such restrictions may have on our player base.

In general, players need to access the internet and platforms such as Facebook, Apple, Google, Liquid’s website, the websites of our partners or entities controlled by us or mobile applications in order to play the games we offer or will offer. Companies and governmental entities may block or restrict access to these sites or applications or the internet generally for a number of reasons, for example, confidentiality, security, a determination that greater regulatory oversight is required, or they may adopt policies that restrict the access of employees to access the sites and applications. If companies or governmental entities block, limit or otherwise adopt restrictive policies or regulations which materially interfere with the ability of players to play our games, our business and operations will likely be negatively affected and could lead to losses or slower growth than anticipated.

The video game hardware manufacturers set the royalty rates and other fees that we must pay to provide games for their platforms, and therefore have significant influence on our costs. If one or more of these manufacturers change their fee structure, our profitability will be materially impacted.

In order to provide products and service for a video game system such as Nintendo’s DS, 3DS, Wii and WiiU, Sony’s PlayStation 3 and 4, or PS3 and PS4, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Xbox One, we must take a license from Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, respectively, which give these companies the opportunity to set the fee structure that we must pay in order to provide games for that platform. Similarly, these companies have retained the flexibility to change their fee structures, or adopt different fee structures for online purchases of games, online gameplay and other new features for their consoles. The control that hardware manufacturers have over the fee structures for their platforms and online access could adversely impact our costs, profitability and margins. Because providing products for video game systems is the largest portion of our business, any increase in fee structures would significantly harm our ability to generate profits.

Acquisitions we pursue in our industry and related industries could result in operating difficulties, dilution to our shareholders and other consequences harmful to our business.

As part of our growth strategy, we may selectively pursue strategic acquisitions in our industry and related industries. We may not be able to consummate such acquisitions, which could adversely impact our growth. If we do consummate acquisitions, integrating an acquired company, business or technology may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures, including:

increased expenses due to transaction and integration costs;

potential liabilities of the acquired businesses;

potential adverse tax and accounting effects of the acquisitions;

diversion of capital and other resources from our existing businesses;

diversion of our management’s attention during the acquisition process and any transition periods;

loss of key employees of the acquired businesses following the acquisition; and

inaccurate budgets and projected financial statements due to inaccurate valuation assessments of the

acquired businesses.

Our evaluations of potential acquisitions may not accurately assess the value or prospects of acquisition candidates and the anticipated benefits from our future acquisitions may not materialize. In addition, future acquisitions or dispositions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, including our common stock, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses, or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition.

Changes in tax laws or tax rulings could materially affect our effective tax rates, financial position and results of operations.

The tax regimes to which we are subject or under which we operate is unsettled and may be subject to significant change. Changes in tax laws or tax rulings, or changes in interpretations of existing laws, could cause us to be subject to additional income based taxes, non-income taxes (such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, net worth, property and goods and services taxes), or tariffs related to the import or export of our offerings, could materially affect our financial position and results of operations. Any significant changes to our effective tax rate or the imposition of significant tariffs on our products may result in a material adverse consequence on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Risks Related to the Film Industry

Our results of operations may fluctuate significantly as to its film operations depending upon the timing of television shows and films delivered or made available to various media

Results of operations with respect to our production and distribution of film and television operations for any periods are significantly dependent upon the number and timing of television programs and films delivered or made available to various media. Consequently, our results of operations may fluctuate materially from period to period and the results of any one period are not necessarily indicative of results for future periods. Cash flows may also fluctuate and are not necessarily closely correlated with revenue recognition. Although traditions are changing, due in part to increased competition from new channels, industry practice is that broadcasters make the most of their annual programming commitments between February and June, such that new programs can be ready for telecast at the start of the broadcast season in September, or a mid-season replacements in January. Because of this annual production cycle, our film revenues may not be earned on an even basis throughout the year. Results from operations may fluctuate materially from quarter to quarter and the results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative or results for future quarters.

Our entertainment programming may not be accepted by the public which would result in a portion of our costs not being recouped or anticipated profits not neing realized.

The entertainment industry involves a substantial degree of risk. Acceptance of entertainment programming represents a response not only to the production's artistic components, but also the quality and acceptance of other competing programs released into the marketplace at or near the same time. The availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions, public tastes generally and other intangible factors, all of which could change rapidly or without notice und cannot be predicted with certainty.

There is a risk that some or all or of our programming will not be purchased or accepted by the public generally, resulting in a portion of costs not being recouped or anticipated profits not being realized. There can be no assurance that revenue from existing or future programming will replace loss of revenue associated with the cancellation or unsuccessful commercialization of any particular production.

Our film and television productions may not receive favorable reviews or ratings or perform well in ancillary markets, broadcasters may not license the rights to our film and television programs and distributors may not distribute or promote our films and television programs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Because the performance of television and film programs in ancillary markets, such as home video and pay and free television is often directly related to reviews from critics and/or television ratings, poor reviews from critics or poor television ratings may negatively affect future revenue. Our results of operations will depend, in part on the experience and judgment of our management to select and develop new investment and production opportunities. We cannot make assurances that our films and television programs will obtain favorable reviews or ratings or that its films and television programs will perform well in ancillary markets or that broadcasters will license the rights to broadcast any of our film and television programs in development or renew licenses to broadcast film and television programs in our library. The failure to achieve any or the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results or operations or financial condition.

Licensed distributors’ decisions regarding the timing or release of and promotional support for our films, television programs and related products are important in determining the success of these films, programs and related products. We do not control the timing and manner in which our licensed distributors distribute our films, television programs or related products. Any decision by those distributors not to distribute or promote one of our films, television programs or related products or to promote competitors’ films, programs or related products to a greater extent than they promote us could have a material adverse effort on our business, operations or financial condition.

We are dependent upon certain key personnel.

We are dependent upon the services of key executives, including our Chair, Joshua Jackson, and our CFO, Daniel Cruz. The loss of our executive officers or our other key personnel, particularly with little or no notice, could cause delays on projects and could have an adverse impact on our client and industry relationships, our business, operating results or financial condition.

Due to the relatively small size of our company, the loss of key persons or our inability to attract and retain additional highly-skilled employees may adversely affect our business and future operations. The loss of one or more key employees or contractors, if not replaced, could adversely affect Liquid’s project exploration and development programs, consolidated operations and financial condition.

Our success depends in part on our ability to hire and retain competent and skilled management and technical, sales and other personnel.

Our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to identify, hire, and retain qualified creative, technical and managerial personnel in a competitive job market. We expect competition for personnel with the specialized creative and technical skills needed to create our products and provide our services will continue to intensify in future. Our competitors may be able to offer a work environment with higher compensation or more opportunities to work with cutting-edge technology than we can. If we are unable to retain our key personnel or appropriately match skill sets with our needs, we would be required to expend significant time and financial resources to identify and hire new qualified personnel and to transfer significant internal historical knowledge, which might significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives.

We may be involved in legal proceedings that may result in adverse outcomes.

From time to time, we may be involved in claims, suits, government investigations, audits and proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business. Such claims, suits, government investigations, audits and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty. Regardless of the

outcome, such legal proceedings can have an adverse impact on us because of legal costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Declines in consumer spending and other adverse changes in the economy could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Most of our products and services involve discretionary spending on the part of consumers. We believe that consumer spending is influenced by general economic conditions and the availability of discretionary income. This makes our products particularly sensitive to general economic conditions and economic cycles as consumers are generally more willing to make discretionary purchases, including purchases of products like ours, during periods in which favorable economic conditions prevail. Adverse economic conditions such as a prolonged general economic downturn, including periods of increased inflation, unemployment levels, tax rates, interest rates, energy prices or declining consumer confidence could also reduce consumer spending. Reduced consumer spending may result in reduced demand for our products and may also require increased selling and promotional expenses, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, uncertainty and adverse changes in the economy could also increase costs associated with developing and publishing our products, increase the cost and availability of sources of financing, and increase our exposure to material losses from bad debts, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. If economic conditions worsen, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our business is subject to a variety of other U.S. and foreign laws, many of which are unsettled and still developing, and which could subject us to claims or otherwise harm our business.

We are subject to a variety of laws in the United States and abroad, including laws regarding consumer protection, intellectual property, export and national security, that are continuously evolving and developing. The scope and interpretation of the laws that are or may be applicable to us are often uncertain and may be conflicting, particularly laws outside the United States. For example, laws relating to the liability of providers of on line services for activities of their users and other third parties are currently being tested by a number of claims, including actions based on invasion of privacy and other torts, unfair competition, copyright and trademark infringement, and other theories based on the nature and content of the materials searched, the ads posted or the content provided by users. It is also likely that as our business grows and evolves and our games are played in a greater number of countries, we will become subject to laws and regulations in additional jurisdictions. We are potentially subject to a number of foreign and domestic laws and regulations that affect the offering of certain types of content, such as that which depicts violence, many of which are ambiguous, still evolving and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business or expose us to liability. In addition, certain of our games may become subject to gambling-related rules and regulations and expose us to civil and criminal penalties if we do not comply.

It is difficult to predict how existing laws will be applied to our business and the new laws to which we may become subject. If we are not able to comply with these laws or regulations or if we become liable under these laws or regulations, we could be directly banned, and we may be forced to implement new measures to reduce our exposure to this liability. This may require us to expend substantial resources or to modify our games, which would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the increased attention focused upon liability issues as a result of lawsuits and legislative proposals could harm our reputation or otherwise impact the growth of our business. Any costs incurred as a result of this potential liability could harm our business and operating results.

It is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted or construed to apply to us in the United States and elsewhere that could restrict the on line and mobile industries, including player privacy, advertising, taxation, content suitability, copyright, distribution and antitrust. Furthermore, the growth and development of electronic commerce and virtual goods may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may

impose additional burdens on companies such as ours conducting business through the Internet and mobile devices. We anticipate that scrutiny and regulation of our industry will increase, and we will be required to devote legal and other resources to addressing such regulation. For example, existing laws or new laws regarding the regulation of currency and banking institutions may be interpreted to cover virtual currency or goods. If that were to occur we may be required to seek licenses, authorizations or approvals from relevant regulators, the granting of which may be dependent on us meeting certain capital and other requirements and we may be subject to additional regulation and oversight, all of which could significantly increase our operating costs. Changes in current laws or regulations or the imposition of new laws and regulations in the United States or elsewhere regarding these activities may lessen the growth of social game services and impair our business.

Our management team has limited experience managing a public company.

Members of our management team have limited experience managing a publicly-traded company, interacting with public company investors, and complying with the increasingly complex laws, rules and regulations that govern public companies. These obligations will require significant attention from our management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business. In the event that our management team are not successful or efficient as managers of a public company, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

We may not be able to manage our potential growth.

For us to succeed, our business needs to experience significant expansion. There can be no assurance that it will achieve this expansion. This expansion, if accomplished, may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. To manage any material growth, we will be required to implement operational and financial systems, procedures and controls. We will also be required to expand our finance, administrative and operations staff. There can be no assurance that our current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our future operations at any increased level. Our failure to manage growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business will suffer if we are unable to successfully integrate acquired companies into our business or otherwise manage the growth associated with multiple acquisitions.

We have acquired businesses, personnel and technologies in the past and we intend to continue to pursue acquisitions that are complementary to our existing business and expand our employee base and the breadth of our offerings. Our ability to grow through future acquisitions will depend on the availability of suitable acquisition and investment candidates at an acceptable cost, our ability to compete effectively to attract these candidates and the availability of financing to complete larger acquisitions. Since we expect the social game industry to consolidate in the future, we may face significant competition in executing our growth strategy. Future acquisitions or investments could result in potential dilutive issuances of equity securities, use of significant cash balances or incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, any of which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. The benefits of an acquisition or investment may also take considerable time to develop, and we cannot be certain that any particular acquisition or investment will produce the intended benefits. Integration of a new company’s operations, assets and personnel into ours will require significant attention from our management. The diversion of our management's attention away from our business and any difficulties encountered in the integration process could harm our ability to manage our business. Future acquisitions will also expose us to potential risks, including risks associated with any acquired liabilities, the integration of new operations, technologies and personnel, unforeseen or hidden liabilities and unanticipated, information security vulnerabilities, the diversion of resources from our existing businesses, sites and technologies, the inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset the costs and expenses of acquisitions, and potential loss of, or harm to, our relationships with employees, players, and other suppliers as a result of integration of new businesses.

We use a limited number of suppliers.

We rely on a limited number of suppliers for hardware, software, and film and gaming production equipment. While other sources of supply do exist for this equipment, an unexpected disruption in supply or an increase in pricing could have a negative impact on our earnings.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

We depend on protection afforded by trademarks and copyrights to protect our intellectual property.

We hold a number of trademarks and copyrights relating to certain significant products. We rely on trademark laws and contractual provisions to protect these trademarks and copyrights, and there can be no assurance that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate our trademarks and copyrights. Existing trade secret, copyright and trademark laws offer only limited protection and do not account for common law claims. Furthermore, the monitoring and enforcement against the unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights could entail significant expenses and could prove difficult or impossible. As well, the laws of other countries in which we may choose to market our products may afford little or no effective protection of our intellectual property. If we lose some or all of our intellectual property rights, our business may be materially adversely affected.

Intellectual property claims may increase our costs or require us to cease selling affected products, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Development of original content, including publication and distribution, sometimes results in claims of intellectual property infringement. Although we make efforts to ensure our products do not violate the intellectual property rights of others, it is possible that third parties may still allege infringement. These claims and any litigation resulting from these claims may be time consuming and costly to defend, divert management attention, and result in damage awards payable by us. They could also prevent us from selling the affected product; or require us to redesign the affected product to avoid infringement or obtain a license for future sales of the affected product or prevent us from utilizing important technologies, ideas or formats.

Security breaches involving the source code for our products or other sensitive and proprietary information could adversely affect our business.

We securely store the source code for our interactive entertainment software products as it is created. A breach, whether physical, electronic or otherwise, of the systems on which such source code and other sensitive data are stored could lead to damage or piracy of our software. In addition, certain parties with whom we do business are given access to our sensitive and proprietary information in order to provide services and support our team. These third parties may misappropriate our information and engage in unauthorized use of it. If we are subject to data security breaches, we may have a loss in sales or increased costs arising from the restoration or implementation of additional security measures which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Any theft and/or unauthorized use or publication of our trade secrets and other confidential business information as a result of such an event could adversely affect our competitive position, reputation, brand, and future sales of our products. Our business could be subject to significant disruption, and we could suffer monetary and other losses and reputational harm, in the event of such incidents and claims.

Failure to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights or the costs involved in such enforcement could harm our business and operating results.

We regard the protection of our trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, trade dress, domain names and other product rights as critical to our success. We strive to protect our intellectual property rights by relying on

federal, state and common law rights, as well as contractual restrictions. We enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and contractors and confidentiality agreements with parties with whom we conduct business in order to limit access to, and disclosure and use of, our proprietary information. However, these contractual arrangements and the other steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property may not prevent the misappropriation of our proprietary information or deter independent development of similar technologies by others.

We pursue the registration of our domain names, trademarks, and service marks in the United States and in certain locations outside the United States. We are seeking to protect our trademarks, patents and domain names in an increasing number of jurisdictions, a process that is expensive and time-consuming and may not be successful or which we may not pursue in every location. We may, over time, increase our investment in protecting our innovations through increased patent filings that are expensive and time-consuming and may not result in issued patents that can be effectively enforced.

Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope of proprietary rights claimed by others. Any litigation of this nature, regardless of outcome or merit, could result in substantial costs, adverse publicity or diversion of management and technical resources, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. If we fail to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property rights, our business and operating results may be harmed.

The proliferation of "cheating" programs and scam offers that seeks to exploit our games anti players affects the game-playing experience and may lead players to stop playing our games.

Unrelated third parties have developed, and may continue to develop, "cheating" programs that enable players to exploit our games, play them in an automated way or obtain unfair advantages over other players who do play fairly. These programs harm the experience of players who play fairly and may disrupt the virtual economy of our games. In addition, unrelated third parties attempt to scam our players with fake offers for virtual goods. We devote significant resources to discover and disable these programs and activities, and if we are unable to do so quickly our operations may be disrupted, our reputation damaged and players may stop playing our games. This may lead to lost revenue from paying players, increased cost of developing technological measures to combat these programs and activities, legal claims relating to the diminution in value of our virtual currency and goods, and increased customer service costs needed to respond to dissatisfied players.

Risk Related to Our Stock

We may not be able to maintain our listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

Our common shares currently trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market. Following our business combination in August 2018, we were required to establish compliance with the NASDAQ initial listing requirements, which we did in October 2018. NASDAQ has continued listing requirements that we must maintain to avoid delisting. The standards include, among others, a minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share and any of: (i) a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million; (ii) a market value of listed securities of $35 million; or (iii) net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three fiscal years. Our results of operations and our fluctuating shares price directly impact our ability to satisfy these listing standards. If we are unable to maintain these listing standards, we may be subject to delisting.

A delisting from NASDAQ would result in our common shares being eligible for quotation on the over-the-counter market which is generally considered to be a less efficient system than listing on markets such as NASDAQ or other national exchanges because of lower trading volumes, transaction delays, and reduced security analyst and news media coverage. These factors could contribute to lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our common shares. Additionally, trading of our common shares on the OTCBB may make us less desirable to institutional investors and may, therefore, limit our future equity funding options and

could negatively affect the liquidity of our shares.

If we make a significant acquisition that requires the issuance of our common shares, we may be required to reapply for NASDAQ listing.

Reapplying for NASDAQ listing may require us to satisfy the more stringent original listing standards of the NASDAQ Capital Market, which has substantially higher standards than the continuing listing standards. If any such application is not approved, our shares of common shares could be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market.

Additional capital raising efforts in future periods may be dilutive to our then current shareholders or result in increased interest expense in future periods.

In order to finance our operations, we have raised funds through the issuance of common shares and securities convertible into common shares and may do so again in future. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of common shares or the size or terms of future issuances of debt instruments or other securities convertible into common shares, or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of our securities will have on the market price of our common shares. Sales or issuances of substantial numbers of common shares, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of our common shares. With any additional sale or issuance of common shares, or securities convertible into common shares, our investors will suffer dilution to their voting power.

We could lose our “foreign private issuer” status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses to us.

In order to maintain our current status as a “foreign private issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the United States Securities Act of 1933), where more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are directly or indirectly owned by residents of the United States, we must not have any of the following: (i) a majority of our executive officers or directors being U.S. citizens or residents, (ii) more than 50% of our assets being located in the United States, or (iii) our business being principally administered in the United States. If we were to lose our foreign private issuer status:

we would no longer be exempt from certain of the provisions of U.S. securities laws, such as Regulation FD and the Section 16 short swing profit rules;

we would be required to commence reporting on forms required of U.S. companies, such as Forms l0-K, 10-Q and 8-K, rather than the forms currently available to us, such as Forms 20-F and 6-K;

we would be subject to additional restrictions on offers and sales of securities outside the United States, including in Canada;

we might lose the ability to rely upon exemptions from the NASDAQ corporate governance requirements that are available to foreign private issuers; and

if we engage in capital raising activities after losing our foreign private issuer status, there is a higher likelihood that investors may require the Company to file resale registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a condition to any such financing.

If we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), our U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences.

If 75% or more of our gross income in a taxable year, including our pro-rata share of the gross income of any company, U.S. or foreign, in which we are considered to own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the shares by value, is passive income, then we will be a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC,” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Alternatively, we will be considered to be a PFIC if at least 50% of our assets in a taxable

year, averaged over the year and ordinarily determined based on fair market value and including our pro-rata share of the assets of any company in which we are considered to own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Once treated as a PFIC, for any taxable year, a foreign corporation will generally continue to be treated as a PFIC for all subsequent taxable years for any shareholder who owned shares of the foreign corporation when it was treated as a PFIC. If we were to be a PFIC, and a U.S. holder does not make an election to treat us as a “qualified electing fund,” or QEF, or a “mark-to-market” election, “excess distributions” to a U.S. holder, and any gain recognized by a U.S. holder on a disposition of our ordinary shares, would be taxed in an unfavorable way. Among other consequences, our dividends, to the extent that they constituted excess distributions, would be taxed at the regular rates applicable to ordinary income, rather than the 20% maximum rate applicable to certain dividends received by an individual from a qualified foreign corporation, and certain “interest” charges may apply. In addition, gains on the sale of our ordinary shares would be treated in the same way as excess distributions.

The tests for determining PFIC status are applied annually and it is difficult to make accurate predictions of future income and assets, which are relevant to the determination of PFIC status. In addition, under the applicable statutory and regulatory provisions, it is unclear whether we would be permitted to use a gross loss from sales (sales less cost of goods sold) to offset our passive income in the calculation of gross income. Although we do not expect that we will be a PFIC in the future, in light of the periodic asset and income tests applicable in making this determination, no assurance can be given that we will not become a PFIC. If we do become a PFIC in the future, U.S. holders who hold ordinary shares during any period when we are a PFIC will be subject to the foregoing rules, even if we cease to be a PFIC, subject to exceptions for U.S. holders who made a timely QEF or mark-to-market election, or certain other elections. We do not currently intend to prepare or provide the information that would enable our shareholders to make a QEF election.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common shares, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common shares and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the growth of our business. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common shares will be the sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

Sales of a substantial number of our common shares into the public market could result in significant downward pressure on our share price.

Our common shares are traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol “YVR.” As of November 30, 2019, there were 5,345,660 common shares issued and outstanding. The concurrent sale of a substantial number of our common shares in the public market could cause a reduction in the market price of our common shares.

We are incorporated in British Columbia, Canada, and all but one of our directors and officers live in Canada, and all of the Company’s assets, with the exception of Majesco, are in Canada; therefore, investors may have difficulty initiating legal claims and enforcing judgments against us and our directors and officers.

We are a company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, all but one of our directors and officers are residents of Canada and all our assets and operations, with the exception of our 51% held subsidiary Majesco Entertainment Company ("Majesco”), are located outside of the United States. It may not be possible for shareholders to enforce in Canada judgments against the Company obtained in the United States, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws.

While reciprocal enforcement of judgment legislation exists between Canada and the United States, we and our insiders may have defenses available to avoid in Canada the effect of U.S. judgments under Canadian law, making enforcement difficult or impossible. There is uncertainty as to whether Canadian courts would enforce (a) judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our insiders predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal and state securities laws or (b) in original actions brought in Canada, liabilities against us or our insiders predicated upon the U.S. federal and state securities laws. Therefore, our shareholders in the United States may have to avail themselves of remedies under Canadian corporate and securities laws for any perceived oppression, breach of fiduciary duty and like legal complaints. Canadian law may not provide for remedies equivalent to those available under U.S. law.

Item 4. – Information on the Company

History and development of the Company.

The legal name of the Company is “Liquid Media Group Ltd.”

The Company was incorporated under the Company Act (British Columbia) on February 4, 1986 under the name “2060 Investments Ltd.” On May 21, 1986, the Company changed its name to “Camfrey Resources Ltd.” On March 16, 1993, the Company changed its name to “Brio Industries Inc.,” and on October 25, 1999, the Company changed its name to Leading Brands, Inc. On August 10, 2018, the Company changed its name to “Liquid Media Group Ltd.”

On August 9, 2018, the Company consummated a business combination with Liquid Canada by way of plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Arrangement"). Pursuant to the Arrangement, Liquid Canada was acquired by and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As part of the Arrangement, on August 10, 2018, the Company changed its name to Liquid Media Group Ltd. and Liquid Canada changed its name to Liquid Media Group (Canada) Ltd.

On January 22, 2019, the Company changed its auditor from Charlton & Company to Davidson & Company LLP.

In February 2019, the Company closed its private placement offering of unsecured convertible debentures raising US$2,678,000. Each debenture will mature two years from closing, will bear interest at 2% per annum, and will be convertible into units at a price of US$1.50 per unit. Each unit will consist of one common share and one share purchase warrant with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company for US$1.75 for a period of two years from the closing date of the offering.

Business overview.

During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2019, November 30, 2018 and November 30, 2017, the Company’s primary business is aggregating mature gaming and film production service studios and creating a vertically integrated studio system for producing film, television, and gaming content from inspiration to distribution.

Gaming Content Creation and Distribution Business

The Company (through Liquid Canada) holds a 51% interest in Majesco, a proven gaming publisher. Majesco is the developer of mobile, console, and desktop downloadable games including such hits as “A Boy and his Blob” and “Gone Home.” Majesco holds various assests acquired through a spin-out entity of a publicly traded company called PolarityTE, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTE), whose principal business operations were previously those of Majesco.

Majesco develops and publishes a wide range of video games on digital networks, including Nintendo’s DS, 3DS, Wii and WiiU, Sony’s PlayStation 3 and 4, or PS3 and PS4, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Xbox One and the personal computer, or PC. Majesco has sold video games to distributors and through digital distribution for platforms such as Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, or PSN, and Steam, and for mobile devices and online platforms. Majesco’s titles are targeted at various demographics at a range of various price points. Majesco focuses on publishing lower-cost games targeting casual-game consumers and independent game developer fans. In some instances, Majesco’s titles are based on licenses of well-known properties and, in other cases, original properties. Majesco enters into agreements with content providers and video game development studios for the creation of video games sold domestically and internationally.

The Company also holds a series gaming titles in its portfolio acquired from Throwback, Zift and Lightning Man.

Video Game Industry

The video game software market is comprised of two primary sectors: (i) dedicated console software for systems such as the Xbox, PlayStation, Wii, and handheld gaming systems, such as the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS; and (ii) software for multipurpose devices such as personal computers (“PCs”) and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. In recent years an increasing amount of software has been made available digitally through online networks such as Microsoft’s Xbox Live Arcade, and Sony’s PlayStation Network.

Gaming Product Development

Majesco primarily uses third party development studios to develop its games. However, Majesco may employ game-production and quality-assurance personnel to manage the creation of the game and its ultimate approval by the first party hardware manufacturer. Majesco carefully selects third parties to develop video games based on their capabilities, suitability, availability and cost. Majesco typically has broad rights to commercially utilize products created by the third party developers it works with. Development contracts are structured to provide developers with incentives to provide timely and satisfactory performance by associating payments with the achievement of substantive development milestones, and by providing for the payment of royalties to them based on sales of the developed

product, only after Majesco recoups development costs.The process for producing video games also involves working with platform manufacturers from the initial game concept phase through approval of the final product. During this process, Majesco works closely with the developers and manufacturers to ensure that the title undergoes careful quality assurance testing. Each platform manufacturer requires that the software and a prototype of each title, together with all related artwork and documentation, be submitted for its pre-publication approval. This approval is generally discretionary.

Intellectual Property

Majesco’s business is dependent upon intellectual property rights in numerous respects. Majesco typically owns the copyright to our software code and content and register copyrights and trademarks in the United States as appropriate.

Platform Licenses

Hardware platform manufacturers require that publishers obtain a license from them to publish titles for their platforms. Majesco currently has non-exclusive licenses from Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony for each of the popular console and handheld platforms. Each license generally extends for a term of between two to four years and is terminable under a variety of circumstances. Each license allows it to create one or more products for the applicable system, and requires Majesco to pay a per-unit license fee and/or royalty payment from the title produced and may include other compensation or payment terms. All of the hardware manufacturers approve each of the titles Majesco submits for approval on a title-by-title basis, at their discretion. Majesco is also dependent on approvals from distributors for its video game software for PCs and mobile devices.

Licenses from Third Parties

Most of Majesco’s titles are based on rights, licenses and properties, including copyrights and trademarks, owned by third parties. Majesco’s original titles may require rights to properties from third parties, such as rights to music or content. License agreements with third parties generally extend for a term of between two to four years, are limited to specific territories or platforms and are terminable under a variety of circumstances. Several of our licenses are exclusive within particular territories or platforms. The licensors often have strict approval and quality control rights. Typically, Majesco is obligated to make minimum guaranteed royalty payments over the term of these licenses and advance payments against these guarantees, but other compensation or payment terms, such as milestone payments, are also common. From time to time, Majesco may also license other technologies from third party developers for use in its products, which also are subject to royalties and other types of payment.

Customers

Majesco focuses on the download business, where games are downloaded from servers maintained by game companies, such as Valve, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. Accordingly, currently Majesco’s customers are substantially users of games on those platforms. Majesco continues to explore new distribution channels for its games

Competition

The computer generated (“CG”) animation business is highly competitive. Liquid competes with a number of North American studios that provide 3D CG animation as well as foreign companies in locations such as China, India and other countries in Asia where the wage levels are significantly below those of North American companies. Liquid attempts to differentiate itself from its competition through

its high quality level of CG animation, production processes and training of skilled employees. Each of these factors permits it to create unique CG animation in a timely and cost-efficient manner.

Animation Production Services

The Company (through Liquid Canada) holds a 49% interest in Waterproof Studios Inc. (“Waterproof”), an animation studio based in Vancouver, BC. Waterproof is a Vancouver based content creation studio founded in 2011, providing industry leading creative development, computer generated production, visual effects and animation content. Through Waterproof, the Company’s animation production business provides animation services on a work-for-hire basis. Waterproof’s principal customers consist of majour video game publishers, traditional film and television studios, distributors, broadcasters, and other streaming service providers.

Production services-for-hire work has been the basis of Waterproof’s animation business. Since inception, Waterproof has built out a production facility, developed its production pipeline, and hired a talented and experienced work force. By establishing a consistent production service-for-hire model, Liquid can selectively search for proprietary properties that warrant production based on distribution potential.

Growth Strategy

With the goal of becoming a global competitor in gaming and film content creation, the Company is forging relationships with an extensive network of industry partners to integrate cutting edge technology into its portfolio of gaming and film products. Initial growth efforts in this regard are intended to consolidate the city of Vancouver’s fragmented film and entertainment market, where more than $3.4 billion is spent annually on film and television production services.⁽¹⁾ Vancouver’s fragmented media and entertainment sector is ripe for consolidation. The Company believes more entertainment assets that build upon its model of the studio of the future can be attracted to generate growth for shareholders. The ability to produce intellectual property across silos such as gaming and TV/ Film with the Company’s existing sales channel and distribution channels is core to its growth.

Seasonality

Liquid’s operating results for any period are subject to cyclical or season fluctuations and dependent on factors such as the number and timing of film and television programs delivered, the budgets and financing cycles of broadcasters, overall demand for content, general advertising revenues and retail cycles associated with consumer spending activity, and the timing and level of success achieved by merchandise licenced and royalties paid in respect thereof, none of which can be predicted with certainty. Consequently, Liquid’s results from operations may fluctuate materially from period-to-period and the results of any one period are not necessarily indicative of results for future periods

The Company makes no statements concerning its competitive position.

However, there is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company.

Cash Flows

The table below sets forth a summary of cash flow activity and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s cash flow statements:


	Year ended November 30,
	2019	2018

The cash flow used in operating activities increased by $4,352,890 to $(4,026,634) for the year ended November 30, 2019 from $326,256 compared to the comparative year. The decline in cash flow from operating activities represents the effect on cash flows from net losses adjusted for items not affecting cash, principally: accrued interest income and expenses, amortization and accretion, share-based compensation expense, changes in the value of derivatives, gains and losses on the settlement of debt, unrealized foreign exchange, the share of profit of its equity investment, the unrealized gains on the revaluation of equity instruments, and the write off of various items, in addition to net changes in non-cash balances relating to operations.

Cash used by investing activities for year ended November 30, 2019 decreased by $75,440 compared to the comparative year mostly due to the Company receiving cash from the Arrangement between the Company and Liquid Canada during fiscal 2018.

Cash provided by financing activities for year ended November 30, 2019 improved by $461,133 compared to the comparative year. During the year ended November 30, 2019, the financing activities mostly increased because the Company closed its private placement offering of unsecured convertible debentures by raising $3,502,793, received loan proceeds of $812,933, and raised $368,617 from the exercise of warrants. The comparative year included the closing of a private placement for $4,157,760, raising $167,500 in loan proceeds, and raising $156,615 from the exercise of warrants.

The cash flow improvement from operating activities represents the effect on cash flows from net losses adjusted for items not affecting cash, principally: accrued interest income and expenses, amortization, share-based compensation expense, listing expenses, changes in the value of derivatives, write off of intangible assets, gains on the settlement of debt, unrealized foreign exchange, and the share of loss of its equity investment, in addition to net changes in non-cash balances relating to operations.

Cash used by investing activities for year ended November 30, 2018 improved by $415,237 compared to the prior year mostly due to the Company spending more on its associates and issuing loans during the year ended November 30, 2017. In the current year, the Company also acquired cash from the acquisition of Majesco and the reverse acquisition with LBIX.

Cash provided by (used by) financing activities for year ended November 30, 2018 improved by $4,731,847 compared to the prior year. During the year ended November 30, 2018, the Company closed a private placement netting proceeds of $3,711,189 after the payment of share issuance costs and received loan proceeds of $182,500 from third parties and related parties. During the year ended November 30, 2017, the Company closed a private placement for $592,427 and repaid $1,756,721 on their credit facility agreement.

Other sources of financing are more fully described in the consolidated financial statements appearing in “Item 18 – Financial Statements” of this Annual Report.

The Company generally maintains cash or cash equivalents in Canadian and U.S. funds and does not use financial instruments for hedging purposes.

The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures in the fiscal year ending November 30, 2019.

Research and development, patents and licenses, etc.

The Company does not have a formal research and development program. It develops video games as and when it sees fit by working with existing staff and outside consultants, where appropriate.

Majesco has numerous licensing/royalty agreements whereby Majesco is given the right to sell various video games in exchange for royalty payments based on various percentages ranging from 10% to 85% of selling prices.

The Company has a license agreement with Lightning Man for license to market and distribute six video games owned by Lightning Man, including: Bunny Boom, Bar Crasher, Nyctophobia, Resurgence, Clowns and Machetes, and Piggy Pals, over a two year period. As part of the Lightning Man agreement, the Company has agreed to pay a total of $100,000 (in three tranches) to Lightning Man over a 6-month period for the rights to two future video game titles that will be jointly developed by the Company and Lightning Man.

Trend Information.

During the fiscal years ended November 30, 2016 and 2017, the Company was focused on its film content and distribution business. In fiscal 2018, through the acquisition of Majesco, the Company added gaming content and distribution to its business.

The Company believes that growing demand in the gaming content production and distribution business, as well as the accelerated industry adoption of cloud-based gaming, represent growth opportunities for the Company and its shareholders.

Off-balance sheet arrangements.

The Company had no off balance sheet arrangements during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Tabular disclosure of contractual obligations.

There were no contractual obligations as of November 30, 2019:

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Some accounting policies have a significant impact on the amount reported in these financial statements. A summary of those significant accounting policies can be found in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the annual financial statements. Note that the preparation of this Annual Report requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. The Company believes, as explained below, that the most critical accounting policies cover the following areas: foreign currency translation, financial instruments, investment in associates, intangible assets, goodwill, derivative liability, convertible debentures, share capital, share-based compensation, revenue recognition, royalties and licenses, and income taxes.

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 and Liquid Canada changed from the CAD to the USD dollar effective September 1, 2018. The functional currency of Majesco is the USD. The functional currency of Waterproof is 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.

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 USD operations are translated into CAD at the exchange rate at the reporting date. The income and expenses are translated using average rate. Foreign currency differences that arise on translation for consolidation purposes are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Financial instruments

Financial assets

On initial recognition, financial assets are recognized at fair value and are subsequently classified and measured at: (i) amortized cost; (ii) fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”); or (iii) fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial asset is measured at fair value net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition except for financial assets at FVTPL where transaction costs are expensed. All financial assets not classified and measured at amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income.

The classification determines the method by which the financial assets are carried on the statement of financial position subsequent to inception and how changes in value are recorded. Receivables and loans receivable are measured at amortized cost with subsequent impairments recognized in profit or loss. Cash, restricted cash, and investment in equity instruments are classified as FVTPL.

Impairment

An ‘expected credit loss’ impairment model applies which requires a loss allowance to be recognized based on expected credit losses. The estimated present value of future cash flows associated with the asset is determined and an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between this amount and the carrying amount as follows: the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated present value of the future cash flows associated with the asset, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, either directly or through the use of an allowance account and the resulting loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

In a subsequent period, if the amount of the impairment loss related to financial assets measured at amortized cost decreases, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

For the years presented, the Company did not record an expected credit loss on its accounts receivable; however, an expected credit loss of $145,431 was recorded on its loans receivable as at November 30, 2019 (2018 - $Nil).

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are designated as either: (i) fair value through profit or loss; or (ii) other financial liabilities. All financial liabilities are classified and subsequently measured at amortized cost except for financial liabilities at FVTPL. The classification determines the method by which the financial liabilities are carried on the statement of financial position subsequent to inception and how changes in value are recorded. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, loans payable, and convertible debentures are classified as other financial liabilities and carried on the statement of financial position at amortized cost. Derivative liabilities are measured at FVTPL.

Investment in associates

The Company’s investment in associates was accounted for using the equity method of accounting. An associate is an entity in which the Company has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture.

Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the statement of financial position at cost. The statement of loss reflects the share of the results of operations of the associate until significant influence ceases. Where there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Company recognizes its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity (deficiency). Profits and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.

Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are recognized initially at cost. The financial statements include the Company’s share of the income and expenses and equity movements of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Company from the date that significant influence or joint control commences, until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases. When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term investments, is reduced to nil, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued, except to the extent that the Company has obligations, or has made payments on behalf of the investee. The Company used the equity method of accounting for its 49% investment in Waterproof until significant influence ceased on March 1, 2019 and for its 50% investment in Household Pests.

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

30%

Intangible assets

The Company has intangible assets from business acquisitions and development of gaming content. 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

15 years

Brands

indefinite

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.

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 15 years represents management’s view of the expected period over which the Company expects benefits from the acquired gaming content packaged as catalogues. The election of this useful life is supported by internal game titles still producing revenue at this age.

Video game 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 Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete the project;

the Group has the ability to use or sell the software, and

the software will generate probable future economic benefits.

Video games being developed are amortized once development is complete and the game starts to generate income.

Brand

Through the acquisition of Majesco, the Company acquired the “Majesco Entertainment” brand which was determined to have an indefinite life.

Goodwill

Goodwill is deemed to have an indefinite life and is not amortized but is subject to, at a minimum, annual impairment tests. The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value is less than its carrying value. Impairment is tested at the cost center level by comparing the fair value of a cost center with its carrying amount including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the cost center exceeds its fair value, goodwill of the cost center is considered impaired and the second step of the test is performed to determine the amount of impairment loss, if any.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amount of the Company’s non-financial assets is reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in previous years.

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable new assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed.

Derivative liability

Share purchase warrants outstanding during the years ended November 30, 2019 and 2018 met the criteria of a derivative instrument liability because they were exercisable in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company and thus did not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria. As a result, the Company was required to separately account for the warrants as a derivative instrument liability recorded at fair value and marked-to-market each period with the changes in the fair value each period charged or credited to loss. Changes in fair value are recognized as gain/loss on derivative liability until the warrants are exercised or expire.

Convertible debentures

The Company’s convertible debenture was classified as a liability, less the portion relating to the conversion feature which is classified as a component of equity. As a result, the recorded liability to repay the convertible notes is lower than its face value. The liability was initially recorded at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method; the liability is accreted to the face value over the term of the convertible debenture.

Share capital

Financial instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity only to the extent that they do not meet the definition of a financial liability or financial asset. The Company’s common shares, share warrants, and options are classified as equity instruments.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of tax.

Valuation of equity units issued in private placements:

The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component.

The fair value of the common shares issued in private placements is determined to be the more easily measurable component as they are valued at their fair value which is determined by the closing price on the issuance date. The remaining balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded to reserves.

Loss per share

options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common shares at the average market price during the reporting periods. For the years presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive.

Share-based compensation

The Company grants stock options to buy common shares of the Company to directors, officers and consultants.

All share-based payments made to employees and non-employees are measured and recognized using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For employees, the fair value of the options is measured at grant date. For non-employees, the fair value of the options is measured on the earlier of the date at which the counterparty performance is complete, the date the performance commitment is reached, or the date at which the equity instruments are granted if they are fully vested and non-forfeitable. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. Stock options that vest over time are recognized using the graded vesting method. Share based compensation is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in reserves. At each financial reporting period, the amount recognized as expense is adjusted to reflect the number of share options expected to vest. If and when the stock options are ultimately exercised, the applicable amounts of reserves are transferred to share capital.

Where the terms of a stock option are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the stock-based compensation arrangement or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification over the remaining vesting period.

Revenue recognition

Animation production services

Revenue from animation production services provided is recognized when the services have been provided and control of the deliverable has been transferred to the customer. Revenue collected prior to it being earned is recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as the related services are provided. Management estimates the pace of revenue recognition based on contract milestones and determination of when it considered the revenue to be earned. The Company’s arrangements with customers are evidenced by contracts with customers. Any costs incurred to secure a contract will be capitalized and amortized over the period in which the revenue is recognized.

Software games

Revenue from sales of interactive software games on game consoles and PCs are recognized as revenue when games are purchased by a customer.

Sales of the Company’s games are made by third party gaming platform companies pursuant to license agreements, and these gaming platform companies retain an agreed upon portion of sales as fees. The Company reports revenues related to these arrangements net of the fees retained by the gaming platform companies, as the Company has determined that the gaming platform companies are considered the primary obligors to the end consumers for the sale of the games.

Royalties and licenses

Royalty-based obligations with content licensors are either paid in advance and capitalized as prepaid royalties or are accrued as incurred and subsequently paid. These royalty-based obligations are generally expensed to cost of sales at the contractual rate based on a percentage of the revenue earned.

Income taxes

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the country where the Company operates and generates taxable income.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided for based on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Current income and deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations applicable to the Company are not yet effective for the year ended November 30, 2019 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 16 – Leases: specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16’s approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17. The standard was issued in January 2016 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or IFRSfter January 1, 2019. Management does not anticipate this standard will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments: clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in IAS 12 when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. It is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. Management does not anticipate this standard having a material effect on the Company’s 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 are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Compensation

Compensation Principles

The Company is committed to the philosophy of sharing the benefits of success with those who help the Company grow and prosper. The Company's strength and ability to sustain growth is based on an organization that perceives people as its single most important asset. The Company's philosophy is to provide sufficient compensation opportunities in order to attract and retain key executive officers critical to the Company's long-term success. The Company has developed an informal employee share option plan to increase the risk/reward ratio of its executive compensation program, to focus management on long-term strategic issues, and to align management's interests with those of the shareholders of the Company in the sustained growth of shareholder value.

The Company does not have a formal compensation committee. The Company relies on the independent members of the Board for determining executive compensation. The Board may, from time to time, retain independent consultants to advise on compensation matters.

Compensation Program

The Company's executive compensation program includes base salary, annual cash or short-term incentives (bonuses) and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options.

The compensation program is designed to:

promote an ownership mentality among key leadership and the Board of Directors;

enhance the overall performance of the Company; and

recognize and reward individual performance and responsibility.

Base Compensation

The Company determines base salary based on a combination of factors, including comparable market data, experience, expertise and job responsibilities. The Company's process for determining executive compensation is relatively simple and does not include formal targets, criteria or analysis. Salary levels are reviewed periodically and adjustments may be made, if warranted, after an evaluation of executive and Company performance, salary trends in the Company's business sector, and any increase in responsibilities assumed by the executive.

Short-Term Incentives

Bonuses for senior management are, with limited exceptions, discretionary and are intended to reward senior managers for exceptional performance that positively impacts the profitability and growth of the Company. Depending on the Company's financial and operating performance, performance-based bonuses may be awarded.

Long-Term Incentives

The long-term incentives are intended to align executive and shareholder interests by creating a strong and direct link between executive compensation and shareholder return, and to enable executive officers to develop and maintain a significant, long-term stock ownership position in the Company's common shares. Long-term incentives may be granted in the form of stock options which generally vest over several years of service with the Company. Further discussion follows in the section titled "Option-Based Awards".

Risk Considerations

As the Company does not have a bonus program in place for its employees generally, and any significant bonuses for the Named Executive Officers (as defined below in the section "Summary Compensation Table") must be approved by the Board, the Board has not considered the implications of risks associated with the Company's compensation policies and practices. While the Board of Directors does not formally analyse risks associated with the Company's compensation policies and practices, these policies and practices do not include structural inconsistencies that are likely to unduly encourage or cause an executive officer to expose the Company to inappropriate or excessive risks.

Financial Instruments

No Named Executive Officer or director is permitted to purchase financial instruments to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the Named Executive Officer or director.

Option-Based Awards

The Company does not have a formal stock option plan. Options for the purchase of common shares of the Company are granted from time to time to directors, officers and employees as an incentive. These options are long-term incentives that generally vest over several years of service with the Company. The options granted

are exercisable at a price which is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the common shares at the date the options are granted. Options are granted in consideration of the level of responsibility of the employee as well as his or her impact or contribution to the long-term operating performance of the Company. In determining the amount and frequency of such grants, a variety of factors are evaluated, including job level, and past, current and prospective services rendered. The Board also takes into account the number of options, if any, previously granted, and the exercise price of any outstanding options to ensure that such grants are in accordance with all applicable regulatory policies.

Compensation Governance

Please see the sections above titled "Base Compensation", "Short-Term Incentives", and "Long Term Incentives" for a discussion of the practices adopted by the Board to determine compensation for directors and executive officers. The Company does not have a formal compensation committee.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table (presented in accordance with Canada's National Instrument Form 51-102F6 Statement of Executive Compensation) sets forth all annual and long term compensation for services in all capacities to the Company for the three most recently completed financial years of the Company in respect of:

(a)

each individual who acted as the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") or the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") or acted in a similar capacity for all or any portion of the most recently completed financial year,

(b)

each of the three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and the CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000 for that financial year, and

(c)

each individual who would have satisfied the criteria under paragraph (b) but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Company, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of the most recently completed financial year.

(collectively the "Named Executive Officers" or "NEOs").

The Company completed the Transaction on August 8, 2018. Its first financial year end after the Transaction was November 30, 2018. Information for the 2017 financial year reflects information for Liquid Canada, as the predecessor entity.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business, none of which are expected to have significant effects on the Company’s financial position, profitability, or cash flows.

In October 2018, the former president and chief executive officer of Liquid Canada (the “Claimant”) filed a lawsuit with the United States District Court Southern District of New York against the Company for approximately $11,800,000 for breach of contract, defamation, and violation of human rights (the “Action”). The Claimant asserts the existence of an unwritten contract which, if it was entered, increased her base compensation from US$120,000 to US$400,000 per year. Such contract was not executed by any party and is not, the Company states, a contract the Company would have contemplated at the time. The Company’s counsel applied to the court seeking dismissal of the Action. As at November 30, 2019, the violation of human rights claim was dismissed. In February 2020, the Company settled with the Claimant for US$240,000 which has been recorded as at November 30, 2019.

In January 2020, a consultant of the Company filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against the Company for approximately $400,000 for unpaid consulting fees, US$500,000 for the unpaid cash consideration for the purchase of 51% interest in Majesco, and a payment for the difference between US$500,000 and the value of the Company’s shares issued on the purchase of the 51% interest in Majesco. The Company has accrued $1,064,450 as at November 30, 2019. Management is currently seeking legal advice on this lawsuit.

All other information required by this “Item 10.B” was previously reported to the SEC in the Company’s registration statement on Form F-3, filed on September 24, 2007, and is incorporated by reference.

Exchange controls.

Canada has no system of exchange controls. There are no exchange restrictions on borrowing from foreign countries or on the remittance of dividends, interest, royalties and similar payments, management fees, loan repayments, settlement of trade debts, or the repatriation of capital. Any such remittances to U.S. residents, however, may be subject to withholding tax.

Taxation.

A brief and general description is included below of certain taxes, including withholding taxes, to which U.S. security holders may be subject under the existing tax laws and regulations of Canada. The consequences, if any, of provincial taxes are not considered.

Please note that the following information is a brief summary only and security holders should seek the advice of their own tax advisors with respect to the applicability or effect on their own individual circumstances of the matters referred to herein and of any U.S. federal, state or local taxes.

Taxation on Dividends

Generally, cash dividends paid or deemed to be paid by a Canadian-corporation to non-resident shareholders are subject to a withholding tax of 25% (unless an income tax convention applies to reduce the withholding tax rate to some other amount). Dividends paid to U.S. residents are subject to a withholding tax of 15%, and dividends paid to a U.S. resident company which owns 10% or more of the voting shares of the Canadian corporation are subject to a withholding tax of 5%. Dividends paid by a Canadian corporation to shareholders residing in Canada are not subject to withholding tax.

Taxation on Capital Gains

Generally, the disposition by a non-resident of shares of a Canadian public corporation is not subject to Canadian income tax, unless such shares are “taxable Canadian property” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and no relief is afforded under any applicable tax treaty. The shares of the Company would be taxable Canadian property of a non-resident purchaser if the non-resident purchaser used the shares in carrying on a business in Canada, or if the non-resident, together with persons with whom he does not deal at arm’s length, owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of the capital stock of the Canadian corporation at any time during the five-year period immediately preceding the disposition.

In addition, Canada may tax capital gains realized by an individual resident in the United States on the disposition of shares of a Canadian corporation if the following conditions are met:

the individual was resident in Canada for 120 months during any period of 20 consecutive years preceding, and at any time during the 10 years immediately preceding, the disposition of shares; and

the individual owned the shares when he ceased to be resident in Canada.

Holders of common shares of the Company should seek independent advice from their own professional tax advisers with respect to the income tax consequences arising from the holding of common shares of the Company.

Item 11. – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

exchange rate would change other comprehensive income/loss by approximately US$15,000. At this time, 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 a large Canadian financial institution and a Bahamas based financial institution. 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 restricted cash is held with a law firm in trust in which credit risk exposure is low. The Company’s sales tax receivable is due from the Government of Canada; therefore, the credit risk exposure is low.

The maximum exposure to credit risk as at November 30, 2019 and 2018 is the carrying value of the loans receivable. The Company has allowed for an expected credit loss of $145,431 on the loans receivable.

(c)

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Financial assets and liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company does not hold any financial liabilities with variable interest rates. As at November 30, 2019, the loans included in loans payable and convertible debentures bear interest at rates ranging from 3.5% to 14.4% per annum and are due on demand. The Company does maintain bank accounts which earn interest at variable rates but it does not believe it is currently subject to any significant interest rate risk.

(d)

Liquidity risk

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances and through short-term borrowing. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments. As at November 30, 2019, the Company had a cash balance, including restricted cash, of $5,260,068 to settle current financial liabilities of $5,805,314. Additionally, as there is no assurance the convertible debentures will be converted into common shares of the Company, the Company is exposed to liquidity risk.

Item 12. – Description of Securities Other than Equity Securities

This item is not applicable for an Annual Report, except for “Item 12.D.3” and “Item 12.D.4.” The Company does not have securities represented by American Depositary Receipts.

PART II

Item 13. – Defaults, Dividend Arrearages and Delinquencies

None.

Item 14. – Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds

On October 15, 2018, a 5:1 consolidation of the Company’s common shares, also known as a reverse stock split, became effective. Fractional shares were rounded to the nearest whole number. The documents relating to the share consolidation were filed with the SEC on a Form 6-K on October 15, 2018 and are incorporated by reference.

On June 16, 2015, LBIX’s shareholders approved a Further Amended and Restated Shareholder Rights Plan Agreement (the "Rights Plan"). A copy of the Rights Plan was filed with the SEC on Form 6-K on July 7, 2015 and is incorporated by reference. Liquid assumed the Rights Plan following the Arrangement and it will expire at the termination of the Company's annual general meeting in 2020. LBIX has had a shareholders rights plan in place since 1991.

On February 2, 2010, a 5:1 consolidation of the LBIX common shares became effective. Fractional shares were rounded to the nearest whole number. In connection with the share consolidation, LBIX increased its authorized number of common shares to 500,000,000 common shares. The documents relating to the share consolidation were filed with the SEC on a Form 6-K on February 3, 2010 and are incorporated by reference.

There were no material modifications to any other class of securities during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019, other than a repricing of an aggregate of 1,142,598 share purchase warrants to US$1.20 per share.

There has been no material withdrawal or substitution of assets securing any class of registered securities of the Company.

There has been no change of trustee or paying agent for any registered securities.

This item is not applicable.

Item 15. – Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as discussed below.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. The Company’s system of internal controls is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

Our management, with the participation of our interim principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2019. Our management’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting was based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over

financial reporting was not effective as of November 30, 2019. The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the existence of a material weakness.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management identified the following material weakness:

(a)

We lack adequate oversight related to the development and performance of internal controls. Due to the limited number of personnel in the Company, there are inherent limitations to segregation of duties amongst personnel to perform adequate oversight.

To address this material weakness, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented

Remediation

Effective for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2018, management retained an external accounting firm to provide financial and accounting services to the Company to mitigate the risks relating to the lack of segragation of duties.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional improvements as necessary and as funds allow.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our chief executive officer does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additional controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Due to increased administrative demands of financial reporting in the US and Canada following completion of the Arrangement, management hired an external accounting firm to provide financial and accounting services to the Company for the financial years ended November 30, 2019 and 2018.

Item 16A. – Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that all three members of its Audit Committee, Stephen Jackson, Joshua Jackson, and Nancy Basi, satisfy the requirements of “audit committee financial expert”. Stephen Jackson, Joshua Jackson and Nancy Basi are independent directors. For details on their professional careers, and for further information regarding the Company’s Audit Committee, see “Item 6.A” and “Item 6.C” above.

Item 16B. – Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to the Company’s directors, officers and employees. A copy of this Code of Ethics was filed with the SEC on June 1, 2005 and is incorporated by reference. Copies will be provided at no charge upon request to the Company at #202, 5626 Larch Street, Vancouver, BC, V6M 4E1, or electronically to info@liquidmediagroup.co.

There were no amendments or waivers to the Code of Ethics during the most recently completed fiscal year.

Item 16C. – Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018 was Davidson & Company LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants.

The Audit Committee approves all audit, audit-related services, tax services and other services provided by the auditor. Any services provided by auditor that are not specifically included within the scope of the audit must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee in advance of any engagement. Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, audit committees are permitted to approve certain fees for audit-related services, tax services and other services pursuant to a de minimus exception prior to the completion of an audit engagement. None of the fees paid to Davidson & Company LLP were approved pursuant to the de minimus exception.

The aggregate fees billed by the Company’s external auditors for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees are as follows:


Fiscal Year	Audit Fees	Audit Related Fees	Tax Fees	All Other Fees
November 30, 2019	$153,004	Nil	Nil	Nil
November 30, 2018	$260,000	Nil	Nil	Nil

Item 16D. – Exemptions from the Listing Standards for Audit Committees

None.

Item 16E. – Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

None.

Item 16F. – Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

None.

Item 16G. – Corporate Governance

The Company is a foreign private issuer and our common shares are listed on NASDAQ. NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5615(a)(3) permits a foreign private issuer to follow its home country practices in lieu of most of the requirements of the 5600 Series of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. In order to claim such an exemption, the Company must disclose the significant differences between its corporate governance practices and those required to be followed by U.S. domestic issuers under NASDAQ’s corporate governance requirements. Set forth below is a brief summary of such differences.

Shareholder Approval Requirements

NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635 requires each issuer to obtain shareholder approval prior to certain dilutive events, including a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale of 20% or more of the issuer’s common shares outstanding prior to the transaction for less than the greater of book or market value of the stock. The Company does not follow this NASDAQ Marketplace Rule. Instead, and in accordance with the NASDAQ exemption, the Company complies with British Columbia corporate and securities laws, which do not require shareholder approval for dilutive events unless the Company were to dispose of all or substantially all of its undertaking.

In addition, Section 5635 requires shareholder approval of most equity compensation plans and material revisions to such plans, as well as with respect to the sale of our securities at a discount to their market value to an officer, director, employee or consultant. We do not follow this NASDAQ Marketplace Rule. Instead, and in accordance with the NASDAQ exemption, we comply with with British Columbia corporate and securities laws, which do not require shareholder approval of equity compensation plans or most discount to market offerings of securities unless otherwise indicated in the articles of the Company.

Compensation Committee Requirements

NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(d) requires that all companies must have a compensation committee charter and a compensation committee consisting of at least two members, and each compensation committee member must be an independent director. The Company currently does not have a compensation committee or a compensation committee charter as it follows British Columbia corporate and securities laws with respect to the compensation of the officers of the Company.

Board of Director Nomination Requirements

NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(e) requires Board of Director nominations must be either selected, or recommended for the Board's selection, by either a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors. The Company currently has a nominating committee and follows British Columbia corporate and securities laws with respect to the nomination and selection of directors. The directors of the Company are divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, to provide for a rotation of three-year terms of office, with a class renewed at the each annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company or until their successors in office are duly elected or appointed.

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

Liquid Media Group Ltd. (“Liquid” or the “Company”), formerly Leading Brands Inc. (“LBIX”), is the parent company of Liquid Media Group (Canada) Ltd. (“Liquid Canada”), formerly Liquid Media Group Ltd. The Company is an entertainment company with a strong portfolio of content IP spanning creative industries. The Company’s mission is to empower storytellers worldwide to develop, produce and distribute content across channels and platforms. The head office and registered records office of the Company is Suite 202 – 5626 Larch Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6M 4E1. The Company’s shares trade on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the trading symbol “YVR”.

On August 9, 2018, the Company announced the successful closing of the proposed business combination with Liquid Canada by way of plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Arrangement"). Pursuant to the Arrangement, Liquid Canada was acquired by and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of LBIX. As part of the Arrangement, on August 10, 2018, LBIX changed its name to Liquid Media Group Ltd. and Liquid Canada changed its name to Liquid Media Group (Canada) Ltd. At the time of completion of the Arrangement, LBIX had 1,848,980 common shares issued and outstanding which included 1,288,497 common shares issued to former Liquid Canada shareholders, representing 69.69% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. Initially, the common shares of the Company issued in connection with the Arrangement were listed on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol “LBIX”. Effective August 10, 2018, the trading symbol of LBIX was changed to “YVR”.

Upon closing of the transaction, the shareholders of Liquid Canada owned 69.69% of the common shares of the Company, and as a result, the transaction is considered a reverse acquisition of the Company by Liquid Canada. All previous common shares and warrants were exchanged at a ratio of one share of Liquid Canada for 0.5741 of LBIX (“Conversion Rate”). For accounting purposes, Liquid Canada is considered the acquirer and the Company, the acquiree. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements are in the name of Liquid Media Group Ltd; however, they are a continuation of the financial statements of Liquid Canada (Note 3).

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at November 30, 2019, the Company has generated losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $18,441,785 (2018 - $10,860,401). The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows or obtain additional financing. Management has estimated that it does have sufficient working capital to meet the Company’s liabilities and commitments as they become due for the upcoming 12 months. These material uncertainties cast substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the approval of these financial statements. There is a risk that additional financing will not be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance 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”).

Financial instruments

On December 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which replaced IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement. IFRS 9 provides a revised model for recognition and measurement of financial instruments and a single, forward-looking ‘expected loss’ impairment model. IFRS 9 also includes significant changes to hedge accounting. The Company adopted the standard retrospectively. IFRS 9 did not impact the Company’s classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities.

The following summarizes the significant changes in IFRS 9 compared to the previous standard:

IFRS 9 uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value. The classification and measurement of financial assets is based on the Company’s business models for managing its financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments for principal and interest. The change did not impact the carrying amounts of any of the Company’s financial assets on the transition date. Prior periods were not restated and no material changes resulted from adopting this new standard.

The adoption of the new “expected credit loss” impairment model under IFRS 9, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under IAS 39, had no impact on the carrying amounts of our financial assets on the transition date.

Revenue Recognition

On December 1, 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers which replaced IAS 18, Revenue, IAS 11, Construction Contracts, and related interpretations, and establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether revenue should be recognized, and if so, how much and when revenue should be recognized.

The Company has adopted IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method (without practical expedients), which requires that the effect of initially applying this standard be recognized at the date of initial application, which is December 1, 2018, and that the information for the year ended November 30, 2018 is presented as previously reported. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and as a result, there was no adjustment made to deficit on December 1, 2018.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Statement of compliance (continued)

Although no adjustments were required in applying IFRS 15 to prior periods, the new standard is expected to impact the manner in which revenue is recognized in the future. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of the goods or services. Accounting policies have been updated to reflect the terminology required by IFRS 15, however, the content and the application thereof has not changed. The Company’s main source of revenue continues to be derived from software games; however, due to IFRS 15, the Company is changing its revenue recognition policy in regards to any revenue it may derive from animation production services.

The details of the nature of the changes to previous accounting policies in relation to the Company’s various revenue generating arrangements are set out below:

Type of service or

products

Nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations,

significant payment terms

Nature of change in accounting

policy

Animation

production services

The Company has determined that for animation production service work, the customer controls the output throughout the production process. Every production is made to the individual customer’s specifications and if the contract is terminated by the customer, the Company is entitled to be reimbursed for any costs incurred to date, and any prepaid commitments made plus the agreed contractual mark up. As a result, revenue from such contracts and the associated costs are recognized over time - i.e. as the project is being produced, prior to it being delivered to the customer.

The Company may choose to incur costs in order to secure a contract. Such costs will be capitalized and amortized over the period in which revenue is recognized.

The Company previously recognized revenue on a percentage of completion basis over time based on costs incurred to total expected costs, and will continue to do so.

In the event that costs to secure a contract are incurred, the policy will be updated to reflect the appropriate treatment of the contract asset.

Basis of presentation

The 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 Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Basis of consolidation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries at the end of the reporting period as follows:


	Incorporation	Percentage owned
	Incorporation	2019	2018
Liquid Media Group (Canada) Ltd. (“Liquid Canada”)	Canada	100%	100%
Companies owned by Liquid Canada:
Majesco Entertainment Company (“Majesco)	USA	51%	51%

On January 9, 2018, Liquid Canada acquired 51% of the shares of Majesco Entertainment Company (“Majesco”), a Nevada corporation. The Company is a provider of video game products primarily for the mass-market consumer. (Note 5)

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Non-controlling interest represents the portion of a subsidiary’s earnings and losses and net assets that is not held by the Company. If losses in a subsidiary applicable to a non-controlling interest exceed the non-controlling interest in the subsidiary’s equity, the excess is allocated to the non-controlling interest except to the extent that the majority has a binding obligation and is able to cover the losses.

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.

The most significant accounts that require estimates as the basis for determining the stated amounts include the valuation of convertible debentures, the valuation of investments in films and intangible assets including goodwill, the valuation of investments in equity instruments, the valuation of share-based compensation and other equity based payments and derivative liability, and the valuation of expected credit loss.

Significant judgements includes the determination of functional currency, assessments over level of control or influence over companies, and the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets.

Critical judgment exercised in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements is as follows:

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 has considered its ownership position in Waterproof Studios Inc. (“Waterproof”) to constitute significant influence up to February 28, 2019 and thereafter does not have the ability to influence the key operating activities of the entity due to ongoing disputes. Accordingly, as of March 1, 2019 the Company has accounted for its investment under fair value through profit or loss (Note 10 and 11).

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Use of estimates (continued)

Functional currency

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the United States dollar (“USD”); however, determination of functional currency may involve certain judgments to determine the primary economic environment which is re-evaluated for each new entity or if conditions change. The Company’s functional currency changed from the Canadian dollar (“CAD”) on September 1, 2018 as a result of the Company being listed on the Nasdaq and management determining that all future financings will be completed in USD.

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.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in material adjustments are as follows:

Valuation of share-based compensation, derivatives, and convertible features

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based compensation and other equity based payments. 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 intangible assets including goodwill

Goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment 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. Goodwill and intangibles resulted from a business acquisition. Intangibles were valued based on estimated discounted cash flows.

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.

Valuation of expected credit loss

Loans receivables 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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Foreign currency translation

Transactions in currencies other than USD 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.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

On initial recognition, financial assets are recognized at fair value and are subsequently classified and measured at: (i) amortized cost; (ii) fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”); or (iii) fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. A financial asset is measured at fair value net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition except for financial assets at FVTPL where transaction costs are expensed. All financial assets not classified and measured at amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income.

Impairment of non-financial assets

An impairment loss is only reversed if there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount, however, not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in previous years.

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.

Share capital

Valuation of equity units issued in private placements:

Loss per share

Basic and diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. If applicable, diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of share options, warrants, and convertible debentures, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding share options and warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire common shares at the average market price during the reporting periods. For the years presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive.

Share-based compensation

The Company grants stock options to buy common shares of the Company to directors, officers and consultants.

Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

IFRS 16 – Leases: specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognize, measure, present and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with IFRS 16’s approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, IAS 17. The standard was issued in January 2016 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Management does not anticipate this standard will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

REVERSE ACQUISITION

As described in Note 1, on August 9, 2018, pursuant to an Arrangement between LBIX and Liquid Canada, LBIX acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Liquid Canada. The former shareholders of Liquid Canada received an aggregate of 1,288,497 common shares of LBIX for all of the outstanding common shares of Liquid Canada. LBIX shareholders retained 560,410 common shares on completion of the transaction and the former LBIX stock option holders were granted 117,000 stock options.

The transaction constituted a reverse acquisition of LBIX and had been accounted for as a reverse acquisition transaction in accordance with the guidance provided under IFRS 2, Share-based Payment and IFRS 3, Business Combinations. As LBIX did not qualify as a business according to the definition in IFRS 3, Business Combination, this reverse acquisition did not constitute a business combination; rather the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition by the issuance of shares of the Company, for the net assets of LBIX and its public listing. Accordingly, the transaction had been accounted for at the fair value of the equity instruments granted by the shareholders of Liquid Canada to the shareholders and option holders of LBIX. The sum of the fair value of the consideration paid (based on the fair value of the LBIX shares just prior to the reverse acquisition) less the LBIX net assets acquired, has been recognized as a listing expense in profit or loss for the year ended November 30, 2018.

For accounting purposes, Liquid Canada was treated as the accounting parent company (legal subsidiary) and LBIX had been treated as the accounting subsidiary (legal parent) in these consolidated financial statements. As Liquid Canada was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, its assets, liabilities and operations since incorporation are included in these consolidated financial statements at their historical carrying value. The results of operations of LBIX are included in these consolidated financial statements from the date of the reverse acquisition of August 9, 2018.

Within the liabilities assumed as part of the Arrangement, the Company has $nil of liabilities attributable to discontinued operations of LBIX as at November 30, 2019 (2018 - $250,000) as part of the disposal of LBIX’s legacy beverage assets. Upon consolidation, these liabilities were included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

During the year ended November 30, 2019, the Company incurred costs of $192,601 (2018 - $359,590; 2017 - $362,655) related to the reverse acquisition that were recorded as project investigation costs.

RESTRICTED CASH

As at November 30, 2019, the Company held $672,663 (US$506,179) in restricted cash (2018 - $574,510) as follows:

$574,510 of restricted cash was held by the Company’s legal counsel as at November 30, 2018, in a trust account pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement arising from the disposition of LBIX’s legacy beverage business. These funds were held aside for the purpose of existing claims, excluded liabilities and financial lease liabilities during the escrow period as specified in the terms of the sale agreement in relation to LBIX’s legacy beverage business. During the year ended November 30, 2019, the funds were released.

As at November 30, 2019, the Company had a $672,663 (US$506,179) deposit certificate which earns interest at 1.49% per annum and matures and renews monthly. The deposit certificate has been assigned as security to City National Bank for a revolving bank loan (Note 16).

GOODWILL

Goodwill of $3,356,355 was acquired during the year ended November 30, 2018 pursuant to the acquisition of Majesco (Note 5). The currency translation adjustment as at November 30, 2019 was $226,193 (2018 - $229,528).

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. At November 30, 2019, the Company performed its impairment review of goodwill by comparing each cost center’s fair value to the net book value including goodwill. The Company has determined that it has one cost center: Majesco. The fair value of the 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.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (continued)

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 $160,917.

During the year ended November 30, 2019, net debentures of $1,795,455 (US$1,133,761) were converted into 1,000,167 units of the Company of which $30,779 was allocated to reserves relating to the value of the warrants issued. As a result, the Company transferred $244,890 from reserves to share capital representing the proportionate balance of the unamortized equity component.

Interest and accretion expense for the year ended November 30, 2019 was $259,885.

Stock options

Prior to the Arrangement described in Note 3, the Company had a stock option plan whereby the Company could grant share options to directors, officers, employees, and consultants enabling them to acquire up to 15% of the issued common shares of the Company.

The exercise price of each option is set by the Board of Directors at the time of grant subject to a minimum price of $0.10 per share but cannot be less than the market price (less permissible discounts) on the Canadian Stock Exchange. Options can have a maximum term of five years and typically terminate ninety days following the termination of the optionee’s employment or engagement (thirty days for options granted for investor relations services), except in the case of retirement or death. Vesting of options is at the discretion of the Board of Directors at the time the options are granted.

All stock options outstanding in Liquid Canada were cancelled upon the completion of the Arrangement.

Following the Arrangement, the Company does not have a formal stock option plan. The Company occasionally grants stock options to its employees, officers, directors and consultants to purchase common shares of the Company. The options granted are exercisable at a price which is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the common shares at the date the options are granted. The options are granted with varied vesting periods including immediately, one and five years. Options granted generally have a life of 10 years.

During fiscal 2018 and in connection with the Arrangement, the Company granted 117,000 stock options, with a total fair value of $236,345, to former option holders of LBIX of which 89,000 stock options vest 25% on grant date, 25% on October 2, 2018, 25% on January 2, 2019, and 25% on April 2, 2019. Of the total fair value granted, $96,303 was considered to be part of the cost of acquisition of LBIX (Note 3). During the year ended November 30, 2019, the Company recorded share-based compensation of $36,781 (2018 - $111,135) in relation to these options.

During the year ended November 30, 2019, the Company granted 461,500 stock options with a total fair value of $ 1,136,731 that vested immediately on grant.

Share purchase warrants (continued)

The weighted average life of share purchase warrants outstanding at November 30, 2019 was 1.46 years.

Derivative liability

On August 30, 2017, the Company completed a non-brokered private placement of 132,043 units for cash proceeds of $126,000. Each unit consisted of one “A” share purchase warrant and one “B” share purchase warrant. Each “A” warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company for a period of three years from closing at a price of $3.00 per warrant. Each “B” warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company for a period of three years from closing at a price of $6.00. The warrant agreement provides an anti-dilution clause for each of the A and B warrants that, upon exercise of the warrants, will cause the Company to issue additional warrants sufficient to entitle the warrant holder to acquire 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. Such right is limited to one exercise of either of the A and B warrants and all of the A warrants must be exercised prior to exercising any of the class B warrants.

The anti-dilution right for the A and B share purchase warrants was valued at $126,000 as at November 30, 2017 as the acquisition price approximated fair value due to the recency of the transaction. During the year ended November 30, 2018, certain A warrants were exercised causing the rights to expire resulting in a decrease to the liability. As at November 30, 2019, the rights attached to the B warrants were valued at $1,102,277 (2018 - $100,912) resulting in a derivative loss of $1,001,365 for the year ended November 30, 2019 (2018 - gain of $25,088).

The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the revaluation of the derivative liability as at November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018


	2019	2018
Risk-free interest rate	1.70%	2.16%
Dividend yield	Nil	Nil
Expected life	0.75 year	1.75 years
Volatility	106%	114%
Probability of exercise	75%	20%

Due to the Company changing its functional currency from the CAD to the USD during the year ended November 30, 2018, a derivative liability occurred on the date of change on the Company’s previously issued share purchase warrants with CAD exercise prices. During the year ended November 30, 2019, the share purchase warrants with a CAD exercise price was repriced to USD resulting in the elimination of the derivative liability.

On initial recognition, the Company recorded a loss of $1,557,086 to set up the derivative liability. As at November 30, 2018, the Company revalued the derivative liability to $551,846 and recorded a gain of $1,005,240. As at November 30, 2019, the Company revalued the derivative liability to $nil and recorded a gain of $551,846.

CAPITAL DISCLOSURE AND MANAGEMENT

The Company defines its capital as 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. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements other than disclosed in Note 16.

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, loans receivable, investment in equity instruments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, loans payable, convertible debentures, and derivative liability. The fair value of receivables, loans receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, and loans payable approximates their carrying values. Cash and restricted cash are measured at fair value using level 1 inputs. Convertible debentures and derivative liability are measured using level 2 inputs. The investment in equity instruments is measured at fair value using level 3 inputs.

As at November 30, 2019, the fair value of the level 3 asset was $1,551,324 based on a multiple of 6.9 times management’s estimate of Waterproof’s expected earnings before interest, taxes, and expected amortization. The Company’s investment in Waterproof does not have a quoted market price on an active market and the Company has assessed the fair value of the investment based on Waterproof’s unobservable earnings. As a result, the fair value is classified as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The process of estimating the fair value of Waterproof is based on inherent measurement uncertainties and is based on techniques and assumptions that emphasize both qualitative and quantitative information. There is no reasonable quantitative basis to estimate the potential effect of changing the assumptions to reasonably possible alternative assumptions on estimated fair value of the investment.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities including currency, credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk.

(e)

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 and the United States. As at November 30, 2019, the Company had current assets totaling CAD$364,147 and current liabilities totalling CAD$2,356,044. These factors expose the Company to foreign currency exchange rate risk, which could have an adverse effect on the profitability of the Company. A 1% change in the exchange rate would change other comprehensive income/loss by approximately US$15,000. At this time, 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.

(f)

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.

(g)

Interest rate risk

(h)

Liquidity risk
