Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(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 February 29, 2020, the Company has generated losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $20,094,205. 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. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


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.

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.


Use of estimates

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


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


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


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


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


Level of control or influence over companies

The accounting for investments in other companies can vary depending on the degree of control and influence over those other companies.  Management is required to assess at each reporting date the Company’s control and influence over these other companies.  Management has used its judgment to determine which companies are controlled and require consolidation and those which are significantly influenced and require equity accounting.  The Company has considered its ownership position in Waterproof Studios Inc. (“Waterproof”) to constitute significant influence up to February 28, 2019 and thereafter does not have the ability to influence the key operating activities of the entity.  Accordingly, as of March 1, 2019 the Company has accounted for its investment under fair value through profit or loss (Note 9 and 10).


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.


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.

2.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)


Use of estimates (continued)


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.


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


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

The Company uses the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model for valuation of share-based compensation and other equity based payments. Option pricing models require the input of subjective assumptions including expected price volatility, interest rate, and forfeiture rate. Changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate and the Company’s earnings and equity reserves.


Valuation of intangible assets including goodwill

Goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment at each reporting date.  Management first reviews qualitative factors in determining if an impairment needs to be recorded.  Quantitative factors are then used to calculate the amount of impairment, if needed.  Goodwill and intangibles resulted from a business acquisition.  Intangibles were valued based on estimated discounted cash flows.


Valuation of investment in equity instrument

The Company values its equity instruments in private companies at fair value at each reporting date.  The determination of fair value is based on estimates made by management on the expected earnings before income, taxes, and amortization multiplied by a reasonable factor for the appropriate industry applicable to the private company.


Valuation of expected credit loss

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


Valuation of convertible debentures

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


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.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Equipment (continued)

Assets under construction are not depreciated until available for their intended use.

Depreciation is charged over the estimated useful lives using the declining balance method as follows:

Computer equipment

30%

Intangible assets

The Company has intangible assets from acquisitions and development of gaming content. The amortization method, useful life and residual values are assessed annually and the assets are tested for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Amortization expense is recorded on a straight-line basis beginning with the month the corresponding assets are available for use and over the estimated useful lives provided below:

Video game catalogues

15 years

Platform coding

  3 years

Brands

indefinite

Intellectual property

indefinite

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

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.

Platform coding

The platform coding acquired by the Company has an estimated useful life of 3 years due to rapidly changing technology.


Brand

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


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

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).

GOODWILL


Goodwill of $3,356,355 was acquired during the year ended November 30, 2018 pursuant to the acquisition of Majesco.  The currency translation adjustment as at February 29, 2020 was $263,716 (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.  Management has determined that no events have occurred subsequent to the date of the assessment that would require a further impairment review of goodwill.

LOANS PAYABLE (continued)


Credit facility

In fiscal 2016 a $2,500,000 Credit facility was secured by assets of the Company under a general security agreement with a due date of November 30, 2018 and an interest rate of 14.4% per annum.  A fee of $60,000 was settled through the issuance of shares during the year ended November 30, 2017.  The Company repaid $1,750,000 of principal and $147,945 of interest during the year ended November 30, 2017.


In June 2018, a new lender acquired the remaining $750,000 loan and under new terms, the loan was due on August 20, 2018.  The new lender obtained a Limited Power of Attorney over the Company’s 49% interest in Waterproof (“Waterproof POA”).  In December 2018, the lender registered a general security agreement over all the Company’s current and future assets.


In November 2019, the new lender signed a Forebearance Agreement which extended the maturity date of the loan to November 30, 2020 and required the Company to make quarterly payments of $250,000 commencing on March 31, 2020 until the principal and interest on the loan have been paid in full.  In accordance with the Forebarance Agreement, the Company issued 215,000 treasury shares of the Company as security for the loan which will be transferred to the lender upon any default of the loan.  Additionally, the new lender released the Waterproof POA and amended their general security agreement to exclude the Company’s investment in Waterproof.  In March 2020, the new lender provided an extension allowing the delay of the quarterly payments to commence June 30, 2020.


Interest of $316,208 (November 30, 2019 - $289,282) remains outstanding and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (continued)


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.


Interest and accretion expense for the three months ended February 29, 2020 was $68,279 (February 28, 2019 - $Nil).


Subsequent to February 29, 2020, a portion of the debentures were converted into units (Note 25).

SHARE CAPITAL AND RESERVES (continued)


Loss per share


The basic and diluted loss per share attributable to the Company for the three months ended February 29, 2020 was $0.30 (February 28, 2019 - $0.48) and was based on the loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 5,448,552 (February 28, 2019 – 4,010,419).


The basic and diluted profit (loss) per share attributable to the non-controlling interests for the three months ended February 29, 2020 was $0.00 (February 28, 2019 – ($0.01)) and was based on the profit (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 5,448,552 (February 28, 2019 – 4,010,419).


Stock options


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


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


During the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company granted 50,000 stock options with a total fair value of $94,392 that vested immediately on grant.

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.


As at February 29, 2020, the rights attached to the B warrants were valued at $546,792 (November 30, 2019 - $1,102,277) resulting in a derivative gain of $555,485 for the three months ended February 29, 2020 (three months ended February 28, 2019 - $26,272).


The following weighted average assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the revaluation of the derivative liability as at February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2019:

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 February 29, 2020, the Company revalued the derivative liability to $nil (November 30, 2019 - $nil) and recorded a gain of $nil (three months ended February 28, 2019 – $116,534).

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.



21.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT


Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:


·

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

·

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and

·

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumption that market participants would use in pricing.


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


As at February 29, 2020, the fair value of the level 3 asset was $1,732,798 (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 February 29, 2020, the Company had current assets totaling CAD$299,373 and current liabilities totalling CAD$2,444,499. A 1% change in the exchange rate would change other comprehensive income/loss by approximately US$16,000. At this time, the Company currently does not have plans to enter into foreign currency future contracts to mitigate this risk, however it may do so in the future.

21.

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 February 29, 2020 and November 30, 2019 is the carrying value of the loans receivable. The Company has allowed for an expected credit loss of $150,938 on the loans receivable as at February 29, 2020.  During the three months ended February 29, 2020, the Company increased the allowance by $5,507 which is included in statement 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 February 29, 2020, the loans included in loans payable and convertible debentures bear interest at rates ranging from 3.5% to 14.4% per annum and are due on demand. The Company does maintain bank accounts which earn interest at variable rates but it does not believe it is currently subject to any significant interest rate risk.


d)

Liquidity risk


The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to raise required funding through future equity issuances and through short-term borrowing. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting cash flows from operations and anticipating any investing and financing activities. Management and the Board of Directors are actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.  As at February 29, 2020, the Company had a cash balance, including restricted cash, of $735,536 to settle current financial liabilities of $6,188,155.  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.
