Liquid Media Group Ltd.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

August 31, 2020

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars - Unaudited)


1.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 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”.

 

These condensed interim 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 August 31, 2020, the Company has generated losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $23,445,830. 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 not have sufficient working capital to meet the Company’s liabilities and commitments as they become due for the upcoming 12 months and, therefore, will be required to obtain additional financing.  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.

 

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our product and harm our business and results of operations; however, the Company has also recognized that the pandemic has led to a global increase in screen time and online gaming which is beneficial to the Company’s operations. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business, results of operations, or how it will impact the Company’s ability to conduct financings at this time.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

 

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

 

Statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Accounts Standards (“IAS”) 34, “Condensed Interim Financial Reporting” using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

 

This condensed interim financial report does not include all of the information required of a full annual financial report and is intended to provide users with an update in relation to events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the end of the last annual reporting period.  Therefore, it is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended November 30, 2019.

 

The accounting policies applied in preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2019, except for the following:

 

Business combinations

 

On December 1, 2019, the Company elected to early adopt the amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations.  The amendment:

·clarifies minimum requirements to be a business, 

·clarifies market participants ability to replace missing elements, 

·clarifies the assessment of whether an acquired process is substantive, 

·narrows the definition of outputs, and 

·provides for an optional concentration test which is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross net assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. 

 

Basis of presentation

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on an accrual basis and are based on historical costs, except for certain financial assets and liabilities, including derivative instruments that are measured at fair value.  The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

 

Basis of consolidation

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

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

 

Basis of consolidation (continued)

 

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.

 

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has exposure to variable returns from its involvement and has the ability to use power over the investee to affect its returns.  The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Company controls another entity.  Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company until the date on which control ceases.

 

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the period.

 

Although management uses historical experience and its best knowledge of the amount, events or actions to form the basis for judgments and estimates, actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Significant judgements includes the determination of functional currency, assessments over level of control or influence over companies, the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets, assessments of acquisitions of groups of assets versus a business, and the determination of a discontinued operation.

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

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.  Accordingly, as of March 1, 2019 the Company has accounted for its investment under fair value through profit or loss (Note 9 and 10).  Additionally, the Company has assessed that control of Majesco was lost as of August 31, 2020 (Note 18).

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

 

Use of estimates (continued)

 

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.

 

Acquisition of group of assets

The Company acquired platform coding which did not meet the definition of a business and is accounted for as an asset acquisition.  The Company applied the amended IFRS 3 Business Combinations standard in its determination that the acquisition did not meet the definition of a business, in particular, the optional concentration test, as substantially all the fair value of the assets acquired were accounted in a group of similar identifiable assets.

 

Discontinued operations

The Company classifies a component of the Company’s business as discontinued operations when there is a highly probable likelihood of a disposal of that component.

 

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 certain intangibles resulted from a business acquisition which 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 receivable are assessed for an estimated credit loss at each reporting date.  The estimated loss is determined based on management’s knowledge of the debtor and their ability to repay the loan.  As the current debtors’ are private entities, management must rely on assertions provided to them from the debtor to make their estimates.

 

Valuation of convertible debentures

The equity portion of the convertible debenture is calculated using a discounted cash flow method which requires management to make an estimate on an appropriate discount rate.

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

 

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 equipment30% 

 

Intangible assets

The Company has intangible assets from 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 catalogues15 years 

Brandsindefinite 

Intellectual propertyindefinite 

 

Upon retirement or disposal, the cost of the asset disposed of and the related accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in profit and loss.  Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

Development expenditures, including the cost of material, direct labour, and other direct costs are recognized as an intangible asset when the following recognition requirements are met:

·the development costs can be measured reliably; 

·the project is technically and commercially feasible; 

·the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete the project; 

·the Company has the ability to use or sell the asset, and 

·the asset will generate probable future economic benefits. 

 

Intangible assets being developed are amortized once development is complete and the asset starts to generate income.

 

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.

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 

 

Intangible assets (continued)

 

Platform coding

The platform coding acquired by the Company is currently under development and is not yet subject to amortization.

 

Brand

Through the acquisition of Majesco (Note 4), the Company acquired the “Majesco Entertainment” brand which was determined to have an indefinite life.

 

Discontinued operations

A discontinued operation is a component of the Company’s business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company and which:

·represents a separate majour line of business or geographic area of operations; 

·is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate majour line of business or geographic area of operations; or 

·is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re-sale. 

 

Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale.  When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of comprehensive loss is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.

 

Assets and liabilities held for sale

Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.

 

Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.  Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to financial assets which continue to be measured in accordance with the Company’s other accounting policies.  Impairment losses on initial classification as held-for-sale or held-for-distribution and subsequent gains and losses on re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.

 

Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and equipment are no longer amortized or depreciated, and any equity-accounted invest is no longer equity accounted.

 

Changes in accounting standards

The Company has adopted the following accounting standards effective December 1, 2019, which had no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements:

·IFRS 16 - Leases 

·IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments 

 

 

3.RESTRICTED CASH 

 

As at August 31, 2020, the Company had a $652,639 (US$500,444) (November 30, 2019 - $672,663 (US$506,179)) deposit certificate which earns interest at 0.35% 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 15).

9.INVESTMENT IN ASSOCIATES 

 

Waterproof

 

On April 15, 2015, the Company acquired a 49% interest in Waterproof by paying $475,000 and issuing 100,000 common shares with a fair value of $125,001.  The Company also issued 40,000 common shares as a finder’s fee with a fair value of $50,000 during the year ended November 30, 2015.

 

The Company owns 49% of Waterproof and previously held significant influence over the investment causing the Company to account for its investment using the equity method.  As at March 1, 2019, the Company no longer had the ability to exert significant influence over Waterproof’s operating activities due to ongoing disputes, therefore causing the Company to reclassify the investment as FVTPL (Note 10).

10.INVESTMENT IN EQUITY INSTRUMENTS 

 

Until February 28, 2019, the Company accounted for the investment in Waterproof (Note 9) using the equity method resulting in a carrying value of $587,274 at March 1, 2019, however, the Company no longer exerts significant influence over Waterproof’s operating activities resulting in the investment being reclassified as FVTPL.

 

The fair value as at March 1, 2019 was determined to be $1,649,362 resulting in a gain of $1,062,088 on derecognition from the equity accounting carrying value.

 

As at August 31, 2020, the value of Waterproof’s common shares was estimated to be $2,095,831 (November 30, 2018 - $1,551,324) resulting in an unrealized gain on equity instruments of $592,894 (nine months ended August 31, 2019 - $nil).  The cumulative currency translation adjustment as at August 31, 2020 was $(38,297) (November 30, 2019 - $10,089).

13.GOODWILL 

 

Goodwill of $3,356,355 was acquired during the year ended November 30, 2018 pursuant to the acquisition of Majesco.  As at August 31, 2020, the goodwill was disposed of upon the deconsolidation of the Majesco operations (Note 18). The currency translation adjustment as at August 31, 2020 was $nil (November 30, 2019 - $226,193).

 

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.

On February 28, 2019, the Company closed its private placement offering of unsecured convertible debentures raising $3,526,468 (US$2,678,000).  Each debenture will mature two years from closing, will bear interest at 2% per annum, and can be converted 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 up to February 28, 2021.

 

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.

17.SHARE CAPITAL AND RESERVES (continued) 

 

Derivative liability

 

a)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, repriced to USD$1.20 on October 18, 2019.  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.

 

During the nine months ended August 31, 2020, certain B warrants were exercised causing the rights to expire resulting in the elimination of the liability.

 

As at August 31, 2020, the rights attached to the B warrants were valued at $nil (November 30, 2019 - $1,102,277) resulting in a derivative gain of $1,102,277 for the nine months ended August 31, 2020 (nine months ended August 31, 2019 – $79,775).

 

b)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. 

 

As at August 31, 2020, the Company revalued the derivative liability to $nil (November 30, 2019 - $nil) and recorded a gain of $nil (nine months ended August 31, 2020 – $392,950).

 

 

18.DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS 

 

On August 31, 2020, the Company agreed to settle $652,061 (US$500,000) payable for the Majesco acquisition (Note 4), along with $452,772 in consulting fees owed to the previous owner of Majesco, for $260,824 (US$200,000) in cash and the return of the 51% ownership of Majesco.  Upon signing of the agreement, the Majesco operations were considered discontinued and the balances were reclassified as such.

21.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 15.

 

 

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, assets held for resale, investment in equity instruments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable, liabilities held-for-resale, convertible debentures, and derivative liability.  The fair value of receivables, loans receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, 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 August 31, 2020, the fair value of the level 3 asset was $2,095,831 (November 30, 2019 - $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.

 

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

 

a)Currency risk 

 

Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s operations are carried out in Canada and the United States. As the Company’s functional currency is USD, the Company is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk on its net assets denominated in CAD which could have an adverse effect on the profitability of the Company. As at August 31, 2020, the Company had current assets totaling CAD$619,535 and current liabilities totalling CAD$1,606,851. A 1% change in the exchange rate would change other comprehensive income/loss by approximately US$7,500.  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.

22.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued) 

 

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. 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 August 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019 is the carrying value of the loans receivable. The Company has allowed for an expected credit loss of $162,717 on the loans receivable as at August 31, 2020.  During the nine months ended August 31, 2020, the Company increased the allowance by $17,286 which is included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

 

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 August 31, 2020, the loans included in loans payable and convertible debentures bear interest at rates of 2.35% and 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 August 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance, including restricted cash, of $2,675,413 to settle current financial liabilities of $3,380,190.  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.

24.CONTINGENCIES 

 

a)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.  On August 31, 2020, a settlement agreement had been reached whereby the Company would pay US$200,000 and transfer the 51% interest in the common shares of Majesco back to the consultant (Note 18).  As at August 31, 2020, the Company accrued $260,824 (US$200,000), which was paid subsequent to August 31, 2020, and deconsolidated Majesco. 

 

b)In February 2020, a consultant of the Company filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against the Company in relation to the issuance of a share certificate for 59,706 common shares of the Company, 32,149 of which the consultant states is owing to him and general and special damages in relation to the shares.  In May 2020, the Company settled this lawsuit for $68,937 (US$50,000). 

 

 

25.SEGMENTED INFORMATION 

 

During the nine months ended August 31, 2020 and the year ended November 30, 2019, the Company had two offices: a head-office in Vancouver, BC, and Majesco’s office in New York, New York.  In evaluating performance, management does not distinguish or group its sales and cost of sales on a geographic basis. For the year ended November 30, 2019, the Company had one reportable operating segment: the investment in video games.  Upon the acquisition of the Platform coding (Note 12) during the nine months ended August 31, 2020, the Company determined it now has two reportable operating segments:  the investment in distribution of films and the investment in video games.  

 

Revenue derived in the Company’s film and video games segments is earned from a large number of customers located throughout the world.  No one customer exceeds 5% of the Company’s sales.
