INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

To the Members

of Helix Holdings, LLC

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Helix Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries (a Delaware corporation) (collectively, the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations and members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Helix Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

LANDduel LLC (“LANduel”), is a limited liability company established under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 25, 2019 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Helix Holding. LANduel is developing an online application for sport wagering on e-sports.

 

On January 22, 2021, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “Helix Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, and Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. corporation incorporated under the laws of Nevada (“EEG”), whereby the Company will be acquired by EEG for all of the issued and outstanding membership units of the Company, making Helix Holding a wholly owned subsidiary of the EEG.

 

As consideration for the Company’s Units, EEG agreed to pay the Company’s Equity Members $17,000,000 (the “Helix Purchase Price”), to be paid fifty percent (50%) in shares of common stock of EEG, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) (the “Helix Share Consideration”), and fifty percent (50%) in cash (the “Helix Cash Consideration”). The per share price of the Common Stock issuable as Helix Share Consideration shall be the Closing Base Price minus the Discount. “Closing Base Price” means the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding the date of the closing under the Helix Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”). “Discount” equals the greater of (A) and (B) minus the lesser of (A) and (B) multiplied by 0.25 where (A) is the VWAP of the common stock during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding October 26, 2020 (which was $4.54 per share) multiplied by 1.25 (which is $5.675); and (B) is the Closing Base Price.

 

The Closing under the Helix Purchase Agreement is subject to the simultaneous closing under an equity purchase agreement (the “GGC Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, ggCircuit LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (“GGC”) and the equity holders of GGC (the “GGC Equity Holders”). The Closing is also subject to (i) the completion of an opinion (the “Fairness Opinion”) respecting the fairness of the consideration to be paid by EEG and received by the Helix Holding’s Equity Holders and the GGC Equity Holders pursuant to the Helix Purchase Agreement and the GGC Purchase Agreement from a financial point of view; (ii) an audit, as of and for the two years ending December 31, 2020 and 2019, of the Company; and (iii) the approval of EEG’s shareholders to the issuance of the Helix Share

1.ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (continued)

 

Consideration in satisfaction of NASDAQ Rule 5635(a).

 

The parties to the Helix Purchase Agreement may terminate the Helix Purchase Agreement, among other reasons, if (i) the Fairness Opinion does not support an aggregate purchase price for Helix Holding and GGC of $43,000,000 and, based thereon, EEG is no longer willing to pay the Helix Purchase Price, or (ii) the Closing has not occurred on or before May 14, 2021 or such later date as may be mutually agreed to by the parties. EEG can also terminate the Helix Purchase Agreement if (i) upon completion of its legal, financial, tax and commercial due diligence of the Company, it is not satisfied, with the results thereof; (ii) the audit and/or review of Helix and affiliated entities cannot be completed due to fraud, material accounting errors or otherwise or if the results of the audit or the review are materially and adversely different from the financial information provided by the Company and the Helix Holding Equity Holders to EEG prior to the execution of the Helix Purchase Agreement.

 

In connection with the negotiation of the Helix Purchase Agreement, the EEG advanced an aggregate of $400,000 (see Note 9) to Helix during 2020 in the form of loans (the “Helix Loans”). Upon execution of the Helix Purchase Agreement, EEG paid Helix an additional $400,000 to be used for operating expenses pending the Closing (the “Operating Expense Payments”). If the Closing takes place on or prior to May 14, 2021, EEG will receive a full credit against the Helix Purchase Price for the Helix Loans and if the Closing takes place prior to April 30, 2021 EEG will receive a full credit against the Helix Purchase Price for the Operating Expense Payments. If Closing takes place after April 30, 2021, but on or prior to May 14, 2021, EEG shall receive a credit against the Helix Purchase Price for 60% of the Operating Expense Payments. If the transaction does not close, depending on the reason, a portion of the Helix Loans and the Operating Expense Payments may be forgiven.

 

The Helix Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnification, and other terms for transactions of a similar nature.

 

2.LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had a net loss of $2,560,078 and net cash used in operations from continuing operations of $1,214,498. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $57,577 in cash, which won’t be sufficient to fund the operations and strategic objectives of the Company over the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Management has entered into a Purchase Agreement with EEG (see Note 1); whereby, the Company will become EEG’s wholly owned subsidiary. In January 2021, the Company received another $400,000 working capital advance (see Note 1 and Note 14) from EEG. EEG is expected to provide the necessary liquidity required to pay for operating costs and continue to finance business activities; however, management cannot provide assurance that the transaction will close and as a result of these conditions, there is substantial doubt that the company can continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of the report.

2.LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN (continued)

 

COVID-19

 

During March 2020, a global pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The pandemic has significantly impacted the economic conditions in the U.S., accelerating during the first half of March, as federal, state, and local governments react to the public health crisis, creating significant uncertainties in the U.S. economy. The Company had to close their gaming centers starting in March 2020 through June 2020. As a result of these developments, the Company had a material adverse impact on its sales, results of operations and cash flows. This situation is rapidly changing and additional impacts to the business may arise that the Company is not aware of currently. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty around the duration. The ultimate impact of the pandemic on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, liquidity, or capital resources cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

 

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation and Principals of Consolidation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Helix Holding and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 810, the Company considers certain affiliates to be Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”). Generally, a VIE is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.

 

In October 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities (“ASU 2018-17”). ASU 2018-17 permits a private company (the reporting entity) to elect an alternative not to apply variable interest entity (“VIE”) guidance if (a) the reporting entity and the legal entity are under common control; (b) the reporting entity and the legal entity are not under common control of a public business entity; ( c) the legal entity under common control is not a public business entity; and ( d) the reporting entity does not directly or indirectly have a controlling financial interest in the legal entity when considering the General Subsection of Topic 810. The Company determined certain affiliates

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Variable Interest Entities (continued)

 

meet all the criteria of ASU 2018-17 and have elected not to evaluate these entities for potential consolidation. As December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Company’s loss exposure is $76,905 and $0, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, actual results may materially vary from these estimates.

 

Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity of three months or less from the original date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its checking accounts with a major financial institution. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and may, at times, exceed the federal insurance limits. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no balance in excess of the FDIC limits.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at original invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company usually grants credit to customers with good credit standing with a maximum of 90 days and determines the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts based on individual account analysis and historical collection trends. The Company establishes a provision for doubtful receivables when there is objective evidence that the Company may not be able to collect amounts due. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures. The provision is recorded against accounts receivable balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and members’ equity. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. No allowance was considered necessary as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, reduced by accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the assets, or in the case of leasehold improvements, the shorter of the initial lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to

Property and Equipment (continued)

 

ensure that the method and period of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property and equipment. The estimated useful lives of depreciation and amortization of the principal classes of assets are as follows:

 

   Useful life
Computers  3 - 5 years
Equipment and furniture  5 - 7 years

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company assesses its long-lived assets, including property, equipment, and right of use assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Factors which may indicate potential impairment include a significant underperformance relative to the historical or projected future operating results or a significant negative industry or economic trend. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If impairment is indicated, a loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. The fair value is estimated based on the discounted future cash flows or comparable market values, if available. The Company did not record any impairment loss during December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Revenue Recognition for Contracts with Customers

 

The Company has multiple sources of revenue streams. The company operates three e-sport gaming centers, provides software development and data analytics, mobile application development, e-sport gaming room rentals, and had owned and operated professional e-sports teams.

 

The Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligations with its customers have been satisfied. At contract inception, the Company determines if the contract is within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and then evaluates the contract using the following five steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only recognizes revenue to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period.

Equity Method Investment

The Company records its share in the investee’s earnings and losses in the consolidated statement of operations and members’ equity.

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, reported on the consolidated statements of operations and members’ equity within the operating expenses totaling $91,791 and $52,936 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled. Helix Holdings, LLC, Helix eSports, HOZF, Saber, LANduel, Helix Foxboro, and SPJ Foxboro are all taxed as partnerships under the provision of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, these companies do not pay federal corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the members are liable for individual federal and state income taxes on their respective ownership percentage. Team Genji is taxed as a corporation under the provision of the Internal Revenue Code. Under this provision, Team Genji is subjected to the maximum federal corporate tax rate of 21% for tax years 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2020, Team Genji had net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $885,000 for Federal Income Tax purposes. The Company experienced an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, during the 1st quarter of 2021. The ownership change has and will continue to subject the Company’s pre-ownership change net operating loss carryforwards to an annual limitation, which will significantly restrict its ability to use them to offset taxable income in periods following the ownership change.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Under this accounting standard, the effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, a deferred tax asset will not be realized. As

U.S. GAAP requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.

 

The Company believes that its tax positions comply in all material respects with applicable tax law. However, tax law is subject to interpretation, and interpretations by taxing authorities could be different from those of the Company, which could result in the imposition of additional taxes. The Company’s tax returns since 2018 to 2020 are still subject for examination by taxing authorities.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. Periodically, the Company maintains deposits in accredited financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company deposits its cash in financial institutions that it believes have high credit quality and are not exposed to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships, and has not experienced any losses on such accounts. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, all of the Company’s cash was held at four accredited financial institutions.

 

During 2020 the Company received 11% of the revenue reported on the consolidated statement of operations from one customer. There were no customers whose revenues exceeded 10% in 2019.

  The option to not separate lease and non-lease components for certain equipment lease asset categories.
  The package of practical expedients applied to all of its leases, including (i) not reassessing whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) not reassessing the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) not reassessing initial direct costs for any existing leases.

 

The Helix Foxboro and SPJ operating lease did not go into effect and was not brought onto the consolidated balance sheet until November 6, 2019 when a right-of-use asset and lease liability of $981,564 was added. The standard did not materially impact operating results or liquidity. Disclosures related to the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases are included in Note 10.

 

Recently issued accounting standards

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). This ASU addresses the measurement of credit losses on financial statements in response to the global financial crisis in 2008 and requires issuers to realize current expected credit losses on assets not accounted for at fair value through net income. This can affect financial instruments such as loans, off-balance-sheet credit exposures, and reinsurance receivables. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance to determine the impact it may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other- Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This ASU addresses customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and adds certain disclosure requirements related to implementation costs incurred for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance to determine the impact it may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This update simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing exceptions regarding intra-period tax allocation of losses and recognition of deferred tax liabilities for equity method investments of a foreign subsidiary. The update aims to put out black and white requirements regarding franchise tax, step up in basis of goodwill, allocation of deferred tax expenses to legal entities in separate financial statements, and the reflection of change in tax laws or rates in annual effective tax rate computation. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

renewal option is reasonable certain and failure to exercise such operations which result in an economic penalty. The operating and financing leases are guaranteed by Helix eSports.

 

The Company has operating leases for gaming center facilities. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, the leases are recognized on the consolidated statements of operations in the general and administrative expenses totaling $37,131 and $79,416 , for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The variable rate lease that was not recognized on the consolidated balance sheets is still subject to the qualitative and quantitative disclosures from ASC 842-20-50-3 and 842-20-50-4. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease such as increases in lease payments based on changes in index rates or usage, are not included in the ROU assets or liabilities. These are expensed as incurred and recorded as variable lease expense.

 

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. As the Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the comment date in determining the present value of future lease payments.

 

The Company has financing leases with an affiliate (see Note 12) for gaming equipment, located in Foxboro, Massachusetts. The leases have remaining lease terms of 4 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 3 years to 5 years.

On September 1, 2020 Saber entered into a two year lease agreement for space to construct a gaming center located in New Jersey, for no base rent payment but for 50% of Saber’s net profits from the gaming center, this is a variable lease payment. Per ASC 842 variable lease payments are defined as, payments by a lessee to a lessor for the right to use an underlying asset that vary because of changes in facts or circumstance occurring after the commencement date, other than passage of time. Variable lease payments other than those that depend on an index or a rate should not be included in lease payments for purposes of classification and measurement of the lease (unless those payments are in substance fixed lease payments). With no base rent and a variable lease payment that is highly unpredictable month to month it would not qualify as a fixed lease payment in substance. As such, the lease payments cannot be valued accurately to create the right-of-use asset and lease liability. As of December 31, 2020, the lease has not commenced.

 

The Lessor awarded Saber with a lease incentive of $13,400 to be used towards leasehold improvements. The current award is reported on the consolidated balance sheets on the loan payable line item.
