REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Members of Nextgen Tech LLC

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of Nextgen Tech LLC (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and January 1, 2019, and the related statements of operations and other comprehensive loss, statements of changes in members' capital, and statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements, which describe the events and conditions that indicate the existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the financial statements
For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019
(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. Nature of operations and going concern

NextGen Tech LLC (the "Company" or "Complexity Gaming") is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas, United States by Articles of Organization dated February 16, 2007. Complexity Gaming is a leading esports organization, which fields world-class esports teams in CS:GO, Fortnite, Valorant, APEX Legends, Hearthstone, Madden Football and FIFA soccer. The principal activity of the Company is esports team management in which the Company generates revenue from sponsorship, winnings, royalties, player buyouts and merchandise sales. The Company's registered head office is located at 570 East Commerce, Fairfield, Texas, 75840. 

These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying financial statements. Such adjustments could be material. The Company may periodically have to raise funds to continue operations and there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future.

2. Basis of presentation

These financial statements and notes thereto present the Company's financial results of operations and financial position under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") as at December 31, 2019 and 2020. In 2019, the Company adopted IFRSs for the first time in accordance with IFRS 1 First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards.

Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise disclosed. The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis except for cash flow information.

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements:

Functional currency and foreign currency transactions

The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, whereas the Company's functional currency is the United States dollars ("USD"). All amounts have been rounded to the nearest dollar, unless otherwise indicated.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the entities' functional currency at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position dates. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency are measured in terms of historical cost and are translated using the exchange rates on the dates of the initial transactions. All differences are taken to profit or loss in the years in which they arise.

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the exchange rates at the reporting date to the presentation currency. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the translation reserves.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment, if any. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

Computer equipment 3   years

Furniture and fixture 7   years

Leasehold improvement 15 years

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. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Revenue recognition

The Company generates revenue from sponsorship, winnings, royalties, player buyout, league fees and other revenue. The Company recognizes revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when "control of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transfer to the customer.

A performance obligation represents a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same.

Control is transfer over time and revenue is recognized over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:

 the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company's performance as the Company performs;

 the Company's performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Company performs; or

 the Company's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct good or service.

Over time revenue recognition: measurement of progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation.

Output method

The progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured based on output method, which is to recognize revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value of the goods or services transferred to the customer to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract, that best depict the Company's performance in transferring control of goods or services.

Sponsorship revenue

Sponsorship revenue is recognized over the period during which the services are performed. Revenue and income from custom service contracts are determined on the percentage of completion method.

Winnings

The Company earns prize revenue from its winnings from various esports tournaments and competitions. Revenue is recognized once the competition ends.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Revenue recognition (continued)

Player buyout

The Company earns buyout revenue from fees charged to competing esports teams for the buyout of contracted players. The revenue is recognized when the transfer of the contracts is completed.

League fees, winnings, royalties, and other revenue

The Company earns league fees from the Complexity Gaming teams being participants in certain various esports leagues. These fees are recognized when the league ends. Winnings are recognized upon player teams completes and wins game matches. Royalties and other revenue are recognized once the services have been provided and concurred with customers.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Non-derivative financial assets are classified and measured as "financial assets at fair value", as either fair value through profit or loss ("FVPL") or fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), and "financial assets at amortized costs", as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at the time of initial recognition based on the Company's business model and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

Account receivables are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not at FVPL, directly attributable transaction costs on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Subsequent measurement - Financial assets at amortized cost

After initial recognition, financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate ("EIR") method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in profit or loss. Financial assets are adjusted for any expected credit losses ("ECL"). The Company has classified cash and account receivables as financial assets measured at amortized cost.

Equity instruments designated as at FVTPL

Financial assets measured at FVPL include financial assets management intends to sell in the short term and any derivative financial instrument that is not designated as a hedging instrument in a hedge relationship. Financial assets measured at FVPL are carried at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position with changes in fair value recognized in other income or expense in the consolidated statements of loss. The Company's other investments are classified as financial assets at FVPL.

Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Company no longer retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Impairment of financial assets

The Company's financial assets subject to impairment are account receivables, loan to members and bank balances, which are measured at amortized cost. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.

Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument.  In contrast, 12-month ECL ("12m ECL") represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.  Assessment are done based on the Company's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.

The Company always recognizes lifetime ECL for account receivables.  The Company has elected to apply the simplified approach to impairment as permitted by IFRS 9, which requires the expected lifetime loss to be recognized at the time of initial recognition of the receivable. To measure estimated credit losses, account receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics, including the number of days past due. An impairment loss is reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the expected loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the initial impairment was recognized.

For all other instruments, the Company measures the loss allowance equal to 12m ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial application, the Company recognizes lifetime ECL.  The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognized is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. The Company's financial liabilities include account payables and accrued liabilities. Account payables and accrued liabilities are measured at amortized cost. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value.

Subsequent measurement - Financial liabilities at amortized cost

After initial recognition, financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period at amortized cost using the EIR method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when, and only when, the Company's obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires with any associated gain or loss recognized in other income or expense in profit or loss.

Cash

Cash in the statements of financial position comprises cash at banks.

The limited partners of the Company share the profit and loss of the Company in proportion to the amount of partnership interest owned by each partner except that no limited partners shall be liable for obligations of the Company in excess of its capital contribution and profit, if any, net of distributions.

Income taxes

Income taxes have not been provided as each partner is individually liable for the taxes, if any, on its share of the Partnership's income and expenses.

GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements and requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership's financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Partnership level not deemed to meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The General Partner concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Partnership's financial statements.

The Partnership files U.S. federal and various state and local tax returns. No income tax returns are currently under examination. In general the statute of limitations of the Partnership's U.S. federal tax returns remains open three years after a tax return is filed. The statutes of limitations on the Partnership's state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon the jurisdiction. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative standalone prices.

The Company has applied the following practical expedients as permitted under the new IFRS 16 standard:

(i) Leases with a remaining lease term of fewer than twelve months can be classified as short-term leases.

(ii) Leases of low dollar value continue to be expensed as incurred.

(iii) Any immaterial rent concessions and deferrals as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are not treated as lease modifications.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Leases (Continued)

Lease Liabilities

The Company recognized a lease liability and right-of-use asset for its premises leases On April 9, 2019 (the commencement date of lease agreement). The lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments as of April 9, 2019, discounted using incremental borrowing rate. On April 9, 2019, the Company recognized the lease liability and right of use assets at amount of $2,867,113 for its premises leases by discounting the lease payments of $3,503,224 at 8.29% per annum.

Right-of-use Asset

At April 9, 2019, the Company recognized the right-of-use asset as $2,867,113, which has been initially calculated at an amount equal to the initial value of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets will be depreciated using the straight-line over the lease term and tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of Assets.

4. Critical judgements and estimation uncertainties

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as at the date of the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Significant estimates and judgments made by management in the preparation of these financial statements are outlined below:

Assets' carrying values and impairment charges

In the determination of carrying values and impairment charges, management looks at the higher of recoverable amount or fair value less costs to sell in the case of assets and at objective evidence, significant or prolonged decline of fair value on financial assets indicating impairment. These determinations and their individual assumptions require that management make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period.

Contingencies and estimates

By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgement and estimates of the outcome of future events.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

4. Critical judgements and estimation uncertainties (continued)

Functional currency

Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. If indicators of the primary economic environment are mixed, then management uses its judgement to determine the functional currency that most faithfully represents the economic effect of underlying transactions, events and conditions.

Expected credit losses

Determining an allowance for ECLs requires management to make assumptions about the historical patterns for the probability of default, the timing of collection and the amount of incurred credit losses, which are adjusted based on management's judgment about whether economic conditions and credit terms are such that actual losses may be higher or lower than what the historical patterns suggest.

Estimated useful life of property and equipment

Management estimates the useful lives of property and equipment based on the period during which the assets are expected to be available for use. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for deprecation of property and equipment for any period are affected by these estimated useful lives. The estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and are updated if expectations change as a result of physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits to use. It is possible that changes in these factors may cause significant changes in the estimated useful lives of the Company's property and equipment in the future.

Revenue recognition

In its determination of the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized, management relies on assumptions and estimates supporting its revenue recognition policy. Estimates of the percentage of completion for applicable customer projects are based upon current actual and forecasted information and contractual terms.

16. Income taxes expense

No provision for income taxes has been recorded in these financial statements as the profits or loss of the Company is allocated to the members of the Company, who are responsible for any income taxes applicable thereto.

17. Financial instruments

The Company's financial instruments comprise bank balances, amounts receivables, loan to members, refundable deposits, other payables and accrued liabilities, and borrowing.

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:

Credit risk

Credit risk arises when a failure by counterparties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets. With respect to credit risk arising from financial assets of the Company, which comprise bank balances, account receivables and loan to members, the Company's exposure to credit risk arises from default of counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Bank balances are held with high credit quality financial institutions.  Accordingly, no allowance for credit loss has been made as the risk of default is minimal.

With respect to credit risk arising from the account receivables and loan to members, the Company's exposure to credit risk arising from default of counterparties are limited after considering the repayment history and creditworthiness of the debtors. The Company does not expect any material loss for uncollected receivable from the parties.  Accordingly, no allowance for credit loss has been made for these balances.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities does not match. The Company has procedures with the objective of managing such risk, such as monitoring cash flow on a continuous basis through short and medium-term cash planning and maintaining sufficient cash. The ability to do this relies on the Company collecting its accounts receivable in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs.

17. Financial instruments (continued)

Liquidity risk (continued)

The Company's financial liabilities at December 31, 2020 and 2019 include account payables and accrued liabilities that were based on contractual undiscounted payments that are all due in less than one year. Contractual obligation for payment includes lease liabilities. Except for lease liabilities, all financial liabilities are expected to be settled within 1 year from the year end.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any financial instruments subject to significant interest rate risks.

Capital management

The capital of the Company consists of members' capital. The Company manages its capital to ensure that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to the members of the Company through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these plans, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the raising of capital or by securing strategic partners. The outcome of these activities is uncertain. The Company's capital management objectives, policies and processes have remained unchanged during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution or regulatory body.

Fair value

A fair value hierarchy prioritizes the methods and assumptions used to develop fair value measurements for those financial assets where fair value is recognized on the statements of financial position. These have been prioritized into three levels.

  • Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  • Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
  • Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Fair value amounts represent point-in-time estimates and may not reflect fair value in the future. The measurements are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and are a matter of significant judgement.

The fair values of the Company's short-term financial instruments, including cash, amounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity.

The fair value of the unlisted equity investment is determined based on realizable values of the membership interests in the investee at respective reporting period end.

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no transfers between the levels within the fair value hierarchy.

18. Related party transactions

Key management personnel compensation

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, and also comprise the directors of the Company.

Key management personnel compensation for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $501,900 (2019 - $481,309).

As at December 31, 2020, the Company had $1,273,200 (2019 - $1,298,800) or equivalent to USD$1,000,000 for both years of loan receivable from its key management personnel. Such amounts are unsecured, bearing interest at  the short-term applicable Federal Rate published by the Internal Revenue Service and in effect on the issuance date (October 16, 2017), and maturing in October 2020 (Note 7).

19. Commitments and contingencies

Legal

The Company may be subject to various claims, lawsuits and other complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records provisions for losses when claims become probable and the amounts are estimable. Although the outcome of such matters cannot be determined, it is the opinion of management that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, operations, or liquidity.

Novel Coronavirus

The Company's operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company's operations and ability to finance its operations.

20. Subsequent events

Loan to members

Subsequent to the year ended 31 December 2020, the Company entered an amendment and restatement of promissory note to its key management personnel. The original note was dated October 16, 2017 for the amount of USD $1,000,000. This amendment transferred the loan to the members in October 2020 and the full amount including interest were distributed to members in March 2021 (Note 6).

Borrowing

The Company received a Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan from J.P. Morgan in the amount of $638,475 (equivalent to USD$501,473) under the PPP established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The loan is subject to a note dated April 15, 2020 and may be forgiven to the extent proceeds of the loan are used for eligible expenditures such as payroll and other expenses described in the CARES Act. The Company has received full forgiveness of the loan on July 12, 2021.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. Nature of operations and going concern

NextGen Tech LLC (the "Company" or "Complexity Gaming") is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas, United States by Articles of Organization dated February 16, 2007. Complexity Gaming is a leading esports organization, which fields world-class esports teams in CS:GO, Fortnite, Valorant, APEX Legends, Hearthstone, Madden Football and FIFA soccer. The principal activity of the Company is esports team management in which the Company generates revenue from sponsorship, winnings, royalties, player buyouts and merchandise sales. The Company's registered head office is located at 570 East Commerce, Fairfield, Texas, 75840. 

These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. Accordingly, they do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities and commitments in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those in the accompanying financial statements. Such adjustments could be material. The Company may periodically have to raise funds to continue operations and there is no assurance it will be able to do so in the future.

2. Basis of presentation

Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, unless otherwise disclosed. The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis except for cash flow information.

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements:

Functional currency and foreign currency transactions

The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, whereas the Company's functional currency is the United States dollars ("USD"). All amounts have been rounded to the nearest dollar, unless otherwise indicated.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the entities' functional currency at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position dates. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency are measured in terms of historical cost and are translated using the exchange rates on the dates of the initial transactions. All differences are taken to profit or loss in the years in which they arise.

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the exchange rates at the reporting date to the presentation currency. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the translation reserve.

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment, if any. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

Computer equipment 3   years

Furniture and fixture 7   years

Leasehold improvement 15 years

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. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Revenue recognition

The Company generates revenue from sponsorship, winnings, royalties, player buyout, league fees and other revenue. The Company recognizes revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when "control of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transfer to the customer.

A performance obligation represents a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same.

Control is transfer over time and revenue is recognized over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:

 the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company's performance as the Company performs;

 the Company's performance creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Company performs; or

 the Company's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

Otherwise, revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct good or service.

Over time revenue recognition: measurement of progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation

Output method

The progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured based on output method, which is to recognize revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value of the goods or services transferred to the customer to date relative to the remaining goods or services promised under the contract, that best depict the Company's performance in transferring control of goods or services.

Sponsorship revenue

Sponsorship revenue is recognized over the period during which the services are performed. Revenue and income from custom service contracts are determined on the percentage of completion method.

Winnings

The Company earns prize revenue from its winnings from various esports tournaments and competitions. Revenue is recognized once the competition ends.

Revenue recognition (continued)

Player buyout

The Company earns buyout revenue from fees charged to competing esports teams for the buyout of contracted players. The revenue is recognized when the transfer of the contracts is completed.

League fees, winnings, royalties, and other revenue

The Company earns league fees from the Complexity Gaming teams being participants in certain various esports leagues. These fees are recognized when the league ends. Winnings are recognized upon player teams completes and wins game matches. Royalties and other revenue are recognized once the services have been provided and concurred with customers.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Non-derivative financial assets are classified and measured as "financial assets at fair value", as either fair value through profit or loss ("FVPL") or fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), and "financial assets at amortized costs", as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at the time of initial recognition based on the Company's business model and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

Account receivables are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not at FVPL, directly attributable transaction costs on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Subsequent measurement - Financial assets at amortized cost
After initial recognition, financial assets measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate ("EIR") method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in profit or loss. Financial assets are adjusted for any expected credit losses ("ECL"). The Company has classified cash and account receivables as financial assets measured at amortized cost.

Equity instruments designated as at FVOCI

Investments in equity instruments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investment reserve; and are not subject to impairment assessment. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments and will continue to be held in the investment reserve.

Dividends from these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company's right to receive the dividends is established unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Dividends are included in the "other income" in profit or loss.

Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Company no longer retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial instruments (continued)

Impairment of financial assets

The Company's financial assets subject to impairment are account receivables, contract assets, deposits and bank balances, which are measured at amortized cost. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.

Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument.  In contrast, 12-month ECL ("12m ECL") represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.  Assessments are done based on the Company's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.

The Company always recognizes lifetime ECL for account receivables.  The Company has elected to apply the simplified approach to impairment as permitted by IFRS 9, which requires the expected lifetime loss to be recognized at the time of initial recognition of the receivable. To measure estimated credit losses, account receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics, including the number of days past due. An impairment loss is reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the expected loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the initial impairment was recognized.

For all other instruments, the Company measures the loss allowance equal to 12m ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial application, the Company recognizes lifetime ECL.  The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognized is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost. The Company's financial liabilities include account payables and accrued liabilities. Account payables and accrued liabilities are measured at amortized cost. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value.

Subsequent measurement - Financial liabilities at amortized cost

After initial recognition, financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are subsequently measured at the end of each reporting period at amortized cost using the EIR method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and any fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when, and only when, the Company's obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires with any associated gain or loss recognized in other income or expense in profit or loss.

Bank balances

Bank balances in the statements of financial position comprises cash at banks.

3. Significant accounting policies (continued)

Related party transactions

Parties are considered related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered related if they are subject to common control or significant influence. A transaction is considered a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

Members' capital

The limited partners of the Company ("limited partners") share the profit and loss of the Company in proportion to the amount of partnership interest owned by each partner except that no limited partners shall be liable for obligations of the Company in excess of its capital contribution and profit, if any, net of distributions.

4. Critical judgements and estimation uncertainties

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as at the date of the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Significant estimates and judgments made by management in the preparation of these financial statements are outlined below:

Assets' carrying values and impairment charges

In the determination of carrying values and impairment charges, management looks at the higher of recoverable amount or fair value less costs to sell in the case of assets and at objective evidence, significant or prolonged decline of fair value on financial assets indicating impairment. These determinations and their individual assumptions require that management make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period.

4. Critical judgements and estimation uncertainties (continued)

Contingencies and estimates

By their nature, contingencies will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgement and estimates of the outcome of future events.

Functional currency

Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate. If indicators of the primary economic environment are mixed, then management uses its judgement to determine the functional currency that most faithfully represents the economic effect of underlying transactions, events and conditions.

Expected credit losses

Determining an allowance for ECLs requires management to make assumptions about the historical patterns for the probability of default, the timing of collection and the amount of incurred credit losses, which are adjusted based on management's judgment about whether economic conditions and credit terms are such that actual losses may be higher or lower than what the historical patterns suggest.

Income, value added, withholding and other taxes

The Company is subject to income, value added, withholding and other taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company's provisions for taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Company recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. The determination of the Company's income, value added, withholding and other tax liabilities requires interpretation of complex laws and regulations. The Company's interpretation of taxation law as applied to transactions and activities may not coincide with the interpretation of the tax authorities. All tax related filings are subject to government audit and potential reassessment subsequent to the financial statement reporting period. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the tax related accruals and deferred income tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Estimated useful life of equipment

Management estimates the useful lives of equipment based on the period during which the assets are expected to be available for use. The amounts and timing of recorded expenses for amortization of equipment for any period are affected by these estimated useful lives. The estimates are reviewed at each reporting date and are updated if expectations change as a result of physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits to use. It is possible that changes in these factors may cause significant changes in the estimated useful lives of the Company's equipment in the future.

Revenue recognition

In its determination of the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized, management relies on assumptions and estimates supporting its revenue recognition policy. Estimates of the percentage of completion for applicable customer projects are based upon current actual and forecasted information and contractual terms.

15. Financial instruments

The Company's financial instruments comprise cash, amounts receivables, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:

Credit risk

Credit risk arises when a failure by counterparties to discharge their obligations could reduce the amount of future cash inflows from financial assets. With respect to credit risk arising from financial assets of the Company, which comprise bank balances and account receivables, the Company's exposure to credit risk arises from default of counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Cash balances are held with high credit quality financial institutions.  Accordingly, no allowance for credit loss has been made as the risk of default is minimal.

With respect to credit risk arising from the account receivables, the Company's exposure to credit risk arising from default of counterparties are limited after considering the repayment history and creditworthiness of the debtors. The Company does not expect any material loss for uncollected receivable from the parties.  Accordingly, no allowance for credit loss has been made.

15. Financial instruments (continued)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that arises when the maturity of assets and liabilities does not match. The Company has procedures with the objective of managing such risk, such as monitoring cash flow on a continuous basis through short and medium-term cash planning and maintaining sufficient cash. The ability to do this relies on the Company collecting its accounts receivable in a timely manner and by maintaining sufficient cash in excess of anticipated needs.

The Company's financial liabilities at June 30, 2021 and 2020 include account payables and accrued liabilities that were based on contractual undiscounted payments that are all due in less than one year. Contractual obligation for payment includes lease liability. Except for lease liability, all financial liabilities are expected to be settled within 1 year from the year end.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. As at June 30, 2021, the Company did not have any financial instruments subject to significant interest rate risks.

Capital management

The capital of the Company consists of Partners' capital. The Company manages its capital to ensure that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to the shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. To secure the additional capital necessary to pursue these plans, the Company may attempt to raise additional funds through the raising of capital or by securing strategic partners. The outcome of these activities is uncertain. The Company's capital management objectives, policies and processes have remained unchanged during the period ended June 30, 2021.

The Company is not subject to any capital requirements imposed by a lending institution or regulatory body.

Fair value

A fair value hierarchy prioritizes the methods and assumptions used to develop fair value measurements for those financial assets where fair value is recognized on the statements of financial position. These have been prioritized into three levels.

  • Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  • Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly
  • Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Fair value amounts represent point-in-time estimates and may not reflect fair value in the future. The measurements are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and are a matter of significant judgement.

The fair values of the Company's short-term financial instruments, including cash, amounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity.

The fair value of the unlisted equity investment is determined based on realizable values of the membership interests in the investee at respective reporting period end.  During the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, there were no transfers between the levels within the fair value hierarchy.

Key management personnel compensation

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly, and also comprise the directors of the Company.

Key management personnel compensation for the three and six-month ended June 30, 2021 was $93,991 and $185,198 respectively (2020 - $130,759 and $265,438).

17. Commitments and contingencies

Legal

The Company may be subject to various claims, lawsuits and other complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company records provisions for losses when claims become probable, and the amounts are estimable. Although the outcome of such matters cannot be determined, it is the opinion of management that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, operations, or liquidity.

Novel Coronavirus

The Company's operations could be significantly adversely affected by the effects of a widespread global outbreak of a contagious disease, including the recent outbreak of respiratory illness caused by COVID-19. The Company cannot accurately predict the impact COVID-19 will have on its operations and the ability of others to meet their obligations with the Company, including uncertainties relating to the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, and the length of travel and quarantine restrictions imposed by governments of affected countries. In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could further affect the Company's operations and ability to finance its operations.
