Intercorporate Relationships


 


The
following is a summary of the inter-corporate relationships between the Company and its subsidiaries, which together comprise
the consolidated Company as at the date hereof:


 


 





 


Item
3. GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS


 


3.1
CPC IPO and Qualifying Transaction of the Company


 


The
Company was a Capital Pool Company pursuant to the policies of the TSXV. As such, the sole business of the Company had been to
identify and evaluate businesses and assets with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. The Company did not carry on any
other business until the completion of a Qualifying Transaction.


 


On
February 27, 2015, the Company and Pro Gaming League Inc. (“PGL”) entered into an arm’s length binding
letter agreement in connection with negotiating a transaction to effect a business combination of the Company and PGL. Between
June 30, 2015 and May 13, 2016, the parties continued to have discussions about certain aspects of the Qualifying Transaction
concerning the valuation of the respective companies and continued to explore financing options to facilitate the Qualifying Transaction.


 


On
May 13, 2016, the Company and PGL agreed to effect the Qualifying Transaction by way of a securities exchange. Immediately prior
to closing of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company consolidated its issued and outstanding Common Shares on the basis of one
(1) post-consolidation Common Share for every four (4) pre-consolidation Common Shares (the “QT Consolidation”).


 


Pursuant
to the securities exchange, on closing of the Qualifying Transaction, each issued and outstanding share of PGL (“PGL
Share”) was exchanged for post-QT Consolidation Common Shares of the Company on the basis of one (1) post-QT Consolidation
Common Share for each one (1) PGL common share (“PGL Share”) outstanding immediately prior to the closing of
the Qualifying Transaction at a price of CDN$0.10 per post-QT Consolidation Common Share (the “Securities Exchange Agreement”).
Further, in connection with the Securities Exchange Agreement, each outstanding common share purchase warrant of PGL outstanding
on the date of the Qualifying Transaction (“PGL Warrant”) was exchanged for a common share purchase warrant
of the Company (“Warrant”) on a one for one basis, with each Warrant bearing the right to acquire one post-QT
Consolidation Common Share at CDN$0.05 per post-QT Consolidation Common Share for a period of three (3) years after the closing
date of the Qualifying Transaction. Upon the completion of the Qualifying Transaction on October 20, 2016, the Company owned 100%
of the issued and outstanding PGL Shares, resulting in PGL becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Former PGL shareholders,
including subscribers to a PGL private placement, received 85,449,812 post-QT Consolidation Common Shares, at a deemed price of
CDN$0.10 per Common Share.


 




    	5



    	 



    

 


The
Qualifying Transaction was considered a reverse takeover of Stratton Capital Corp. by PGL. A reverse takeover transaction involving
a non-public operating entity and a non-operating public company is in substance a share-based payment transaction, rather than
a business combination. The Qualifying Transaction is equivalent to the issuance of equity instruments (shares, stock options
and warrants) by PGL for the net assets and eventual public listing status of the non-operating company, Stratton Capital Corp.


 


Subsequent
to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Company changed its name to Millennial Esports Corp.


 


3.2

The
following is a description of how the business of the Company developed over the three most recently completed financial years
and the current financial year.


 


Fiscal
Year Ended August 31, 2018

to a share purchase agreement (the “Eden Purchase Agreement”) dated August 4, 2017, whereby the Company agreed
to acquire an 82.5% majority interest in Eden Games (the “Eden Transaction”), with payment of the cash and
share consideration under the Eden Purchase Agreement previously having been completed on January 16, 2018 and all conditions
having been satisfied by January 24, 2018. In connection with the Eden Transaction, both the Company and the sellers of Eden Games
had certain call and put options, respectively. Due to the exercise of certain of these options, the Company’s ownership
was increased to 95.67%.


 


Under
the Eden Purchase Agreement, the Company made aggregate cash payments of €6,905,039 ($8,462,125) and issued 4,438,522 Common
Shares (pre-June 2019 Consolidation), ascribed a fair value of $2,819,172 to shareholders of Eden Games in exchange for acquiring
an approximate 83.2% majority interest.


 


As
part of the Eden Transaction, the Company was obligated to pay additional purchase price consideration of €1,275,000 ($1,489,277)
to the founders of Eden Games within a five day period after October 31, 2018 should certain milestones be achieved, which have

Item
4. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS


 


4.1
Business Overview


 


The
Company is addressing massive market opportunities in esports, gaming, data, and streaming content distribution. The three-way
merger of Torque Esports, Frankly Media and WinView Games which closed on May 8, 2020 brings together a unique combination of
technology assets that include (i) a market leading video gaming competition platform – UMG; (ii) a skills-based mobile
engagement platform for traditional sports and esports – WinView; (iii) a data intelligence platform – Stream Hatchet;
(iv) a content management and streaming video platform that supports over 1,200 news sites and engages over 100 million monthly
active users across some of the top media companies in world - Frankly; and (v) a development studio that’s dedicated to
making the best racing games for mobile – Eden Games.


 


4.2
Industry Overview and Principal Markets


 


Video
gaming is one of the largest and fastest growing markets in the entertainment sector, with an estimated 2.6 billion gamers globally,
with esports being the major source of growth. Esports is a term that comprises a diverse offering of competitive electronic games
that gamers play against each other. One of the biggest differences between esports and video games of old is the community and
spectator nature of esports - the competitive play against another person, either one-on-one or in teams, is a central feature
of esports. Since players play against each other online, a global network of players and viewers has developed as these players
compete against each other worldwide. Additionally, game developers have greatly increased the entertainment value of games, which
has made the spectator aspect of gaming much more prevalent and further drives expansion of the gaming market.


 


The
expanded reach of broadband service and the computer technology advances in the last decade have also greatly accelerated the
growth of esports. Esports has become so popular that many high schools and colleges now offer programs to support students’
interest in esports, as well as tournaments and scholarships. The best-known esports teams are receiving marquee sponsorships
and are being purchased or invested in by a range of financial and strategic partners. The highest profile esports gamers have
significant online audiences as they stream themselves playing against other players online and potentially can generate millions
of dollars in sponsorship money and affiliate fees from their online streaming channels. It is projected that by 2023, approximately
650 million people will be watching esports globally. Most major professional esports events and a wide range of amateur esports
events are broadcast live via streaming services, including Twitch.tv, Youtube.com and Facebook Gaming.


 


4.3
Revenue Model


 


Overview


 


The
Company generates revenue through a combination of (i) direct-to-consumer fees (subscription, rake, advertising and sponsorship,
and merchandise sales); (ii) business-to-business software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) subscription and professional service
fees; and (iii) programmatic advertising sales and brand sponsorships. The Company is uniquely positioned with a base of predictable
business-to-business revenues and an extensive network of media and gaming publisher relationships. These media and gaming publishers
engage over one hundred (100) million monthly active users. Leveraging these relationships to efficiently create awareness for
our gaming competition platform, where players and fans can play, watch and engage with other members of the esports community,
is key to the Company’s long-term growth strategy.

Disposition
of Motorsport Assets 


 


In
November 2020, following a detailed strategic review in connection with the merger of Torque Esports, Frankly Media and WinView
Games, the Company sold IDEAS+CARS, The Race Media, WTF1 and Driver DataBase (collectively the “Motorsport Assets”)
to Ideas + Cars Holdings Limited, a third-party investment group based in the UK. As a result, the Company eliminated its funding
obligations related to the cost of maintaining and growing these auto media businesses and certain accrued liabilities. These
auto-related businesses sold are not focused on gaming but instead, are developing esport and traditional sport racing audiences
with the creation and production of auto racing content. While reducing its cost base, the Company maintained the ability to work
with the Motorsports Assets. The Company will continue to support racing as a category through its competitive gaming platform,
UMG, as it expands relationships across the entire esports sector as the leading destination for tournament play. For the year
ended August 31, 2020, the Motorsport Assets had revenue of approximately $0.56 million and an operating loss of $5.86 million.

job (71% versus 50%).

Specialized
skill and knowledge is necessary to capitalize on significant trends, esports, news streaming and gaming. The Company has assembled
experienced management and technical teams within its portfolio companies.


 


As
part of the Company’s acquisition of Frankly and WinView, media/technology industry veteran, founder of CNBC and long-time
CEO of TiVo, Tom Rogers, joined the Company as executive chairman and board member. Additionally, seasoned executive Lou Schwartz
joined the Company and is now its CEO.


 


David
Nadal and his team at Eden Games have been making racing games as a tight-knit, innovative group of experts for over 20 years.
Over that time they have built a unique portfolio of back-end IP, technical “building blocks” and industry recognition
as leaders in the mobile racing space. For illustrative purposes, the experience of the Eden Games team, and Eden Games’
portfolio of IP enabled Eden Games to be selected as the developers of the F1® Mobile Racing game and deliver the
product to market in just over a year from their commission.


 


Stream
Hatchet are the leaders in the provision of data for esports companies from leading streaming platforms. Stream Hatchet has developed
unique back-end IP and technology for its data collection services.


 


UMG
was early in the Esports Live events and programming market. The unique approach for UMG was in the development of the platform
that allows players to challenge each other for cash and prizes (props) at scale. This persistent ability to create these mini-events
with machines and AI is a very unique position for the company. As the success of UMG grew, competitors like CMG were able to
replicate the live event streaming part of the business and start taking props for their own events. Competition in live event
streaming is a risk on the major events side of the business. The Company will address the threat with more programming and creating
a consistent media presence. With the Company’s 2021 content plan, it believes it will grow and maintain a strong presence.


 


4.10
Risk Factors



 


The
Company’s operations and financial performance are subject to the normal risks of its industry and are subject to various
factors which are beyond the control of the Company. Certain of these risk factors are described below. The risks described below
are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks not currently known to the Company, or that it currently considers
immaterial, may also adversely impact the Company’s business, operations, financial results or prospects, should any such
other events occur.


 


Risks
Associated with the Business and Industry of the Company


 


Liquidity
concerns and future financings


 


Although
the Company has been successful in the past in financing its activities, there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain
additional financing as and when needed in the future to execute its business plan and future operations. The ability of the Company
to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business
performance of the Company. It may be difficult or impossible for the Company to obtain financing on commercially acceptable terms.
This may be further complicated by the limited market liquidity for shares of smaller companies such as the Company, restricting
access to some institutional investors. There is a risk that interest rates will increase given the current historical low level
of interest rates. An increase in interest rates could result in a significant increase in the amount that the Company pays to
service future debt incurred by the Company and affect the Company’s ability to fund ongoing operations.


 


Failure
to obtain additional financing on a timely basis could also result in delay or indefinite postponement of further development
of its products. Such delay would have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and
results of operations.


 




    	16



    	 



    

 


The
Company may not be able to successfully execute its business plan


 


The
execution of the Company’s business plan poses many challenges and is based on a number of assumptions. The Company may
not be able to successfully execute its business plan. If the Company’s business plan is more costly than anticipated or
there are significant cost overruns, certain products and development activities may be delayed or eliminated or the Company may
be compelled to secure additional funding (which may or may not be available) to execute its business plan. The Company cannot
predict with certainty its future revenues or results from its operations. If the assumptions on which revenue or expenditure
forecasts are based change, the benefits of the Company’s business plan may change as well. In addition, the Company may
consider expanding its business beyond what is currently contemplated in its business plan. Depending on the financing requirements
of a potential acquisition or new product opportunity, the Company may be required to raise additional capital through the issuance
of equity or debt. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, the Company may be unable to pursue
a potential acquisition or new product opportunity.


 


Difficulties
integrating acquisitions and strategic investments


 


The
Company has acquired businesses, personnel and technologies in the past and expects to continue to pursue acquisitions, such as
the completed acquisitions of Frankly, WinView, UMG, Eden Games, Stream Hatchet and other investments that are complementary to
the existing business, and expanding the employee base and the breadth of the Company’s offerings. The Company’s ability
to grow through future acquisitions will depend on the availability of suitable acquisition and investment candidates at an acceptable
cost, the ability to compete effectively to attract these candidates and the availability of financing to complete larger acquisitions.
Since the Company expects the esports industry to consolidate in the future, the Company may face significant competition in executing
its growth strategy. Future acquisitions or investments could result in potential dilutive issuances of equity securities, use
of significant cash balances or incurrence of debt, and contingent liabilities or amortization expenses related to goodwill and
other intangible assets, any of which could adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
The benefits of an acquisition or investment may also take considerable time to develop, and the Company cannot be certain that
any particular acquisition or investment will produce the intended benefits.


 


The
above risks and difficulties, if they materialize, could disrupt the Company’s ongoing business, distract management, result
in the loss of key personnel, increase expenses and otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business,
results of operations and financial performance.


 


Management
of growth


 


The
Company has grown rapidly since its inception and it plans to continue to grow at a rapid pace. This growth has put significant
demands on the Company’s processes, systems and personnel.


 


The
Company may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls.
The ability of the Company to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and
financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. Managing the Company’s growth will require significant
expenditures and allocation of valuable management resources. The inability of the Company to deal with this growth may have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.


 


The
Company may continue to have reduced cash reserves


 


The
Company expects its cash reserves will be reduced due to future operating losses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures,
and potential acquisitions and other investments by its business, and the Company cannot provide certainty as to how long its
cash reserves will last or that it will be able to access additional capital when necessary.


 


The
Company expects to incur continued losses and generate negative cash flow until it can produce sufficient revenues to cover its
costs. The Company may never become profitable. Even if the Company does achieve profitability, it may be unable to sustain or
increase profitability in the future. For the reasons discussed in more detail below, there are substantial uncertainties associated
with the Company achieving and sustaining profitability. The Company expects its cash reserves will be reduced due to future operating
losses, and working capital requirements, and the Company cannot provide certainty as to how long its cash reserves will last
or that it will be able to access additional capital if and when necessary.


 




    	17



    	 



    

 


Competition


 


The
Company’s failure to compete successfully in its various markets could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
business, financial condition and results of operations. The market for the various types of product and service offerings of
the Company is very competitive and rapidly changing. The Company faces competition from other esports businesses, many of which
are larger and better funded than the Company. There can be no guarantee that the Company’s current and future competitors
will not develop similar or superior services to the Company’s products and services which may render the Company uncompetitive.
Increasing competition could result in fewer future customers, reduced revenue, reduced sales margins and loss of market share,
any one of which could harm the business of the Company.


 


Players
in the current market face a vast array of entertainment choices. Other forms of entertainment, such as offline, traditional online,
personal computer and console games, television, movies, sports and the Internet are much larger and more well-established markets
and may be perceived by the Company’s customers to offer greater variety, affordability, interactivity and enjoyment. These
other forms of entertainment compete for the discretionary time and income of the Company’s customers. If the Company is
unable to sustain sufficient interest in its games in comparison to other forms of entertainment, including new forms, the business
model may no longer be viable.


 


For
a detailed description of the competitive environment faced by the Company, see “Item 4.6 – Competitive Conditions”.


 


Security
and privacy breaches


 


Security
or privacy breaches may result in an interruption of service or a reduced quality of service, which could increase the Company’s
costs or result in a reduction in the use of the Company’s services by its customers. The Company’s systems may be
vulnerable to physical break-ins, computer viruses, attacks by computer hackers or similar disruptive problems. If unauthorized
users gain access to the Company’s databases, they may be able to steal, publish, delete or modify sensitive information
that is stored or transmitted on the Company’s networks and which the Company is required by its contracts to keep confidential.
A security or privacy breach could result in an interruption of service or a reduced quality of service. Confidential information
internal to the Company may also be disclosed to unauthorized personnel who may use such information in a manner adverse to the
Company’s interests. Hackers may attempt to “flood” the network, thereby preventing legitimate network traffic
or to disrupt the network, thereby preventing access to a service or preventing a particular individual from accessing a service.
The Company may therefore be required to make significant expenditures in connection with corresponding corrective or preventive
measures. In addition, a security or privacy breach may harm the Company’s reputation and cause its customers to reduce
their use of the Company’s services, which could harm the Company’s revenue and business prospects. In addition, the
Company’s revenue may be adversely affected by un-captured usage, in the event that the Company’s system is “hacked”,
resulting in transmissions that may not be detected by its billing system. Further, the increase in traffic as a result of such
unauthorized “hacking” may slow or overload the Company’s transmission network, thereby adversely affecting
the overall quality of services which the Company provides to its paying customers. If the Company incurs any such losses or liabilities,
the Company’s operating results, financial condition, business and prospects may be adversely affected.


 


The
development of high-quality products requires substantial up-front expenditures


 


Consumer
preferences for games are usually cyclical and difficult to predict, and even the most successful titles remain popular for only
limited periods of time, unless refreshed with new content or otherwise enhanced. In order to remain competitive, the Company
must continuously develop new products or enhancements to existing products. The amount of lead time and cost involved in the
development of high-quality products is increasing, and the longer the lead time involved in developing a product and the greater
the allocation of financial resources to such product, the more critical it is that the Company accurately predicts consumer demand
for such product. If its future products do not achieve expected consumer acceptance or generate sufficient revenues upon introduction,
the Company may not be able to recover the substantial development and marketing costs associated with those products.


 




    	18



    	 



    

 


Rapid
technological changes 


 


Rapid
technological changes may increase competition and render the Company’s technologies, products or services obsolete or cause
the Company to lose market share. The online gaming software industry is subject to rapid and significant changes in technology,
frequent new service introductions and evolving industry standards. Such changes may adversely affect the Company’s revenue.
There can be no assurance that the Company can improve the features, functionality, reliability and responsiveness of infrastructure.
Similarly, the technologies that the Company employs may become obsolete or subject to intense competition from new technologies
in the future. If the Company fails to develop, or obtain timely access to, new technologies, or if it fails to obtain the necessary
licenses for the provision of services using these new technologies, the Company may lose market share, and its results of operations
would be adversely affected.


 


Failure
to license necessary third party software for use in the Company’s products and services, or failure to successfully integrate
third party software, could cause delays or reductions in the Company’s sales, or errors or failures of the Company’s
service 


 


The
Company licenses third party software that it incorporates into its products and services. In the future, the Company might need
to license other software to enhance its products and meet evolving customer requirements. These licenses may not continue to
be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Some of this technology could be difficult to replace once integrated.
The loss of, or inability to obtain, these licenses could result in delays or reductions of the Company’s applications until
it identifies, licenses and integrates or develops equivalent software, and new licenses could require the Company to pay higher
royalties. If the Company is unable to successfully license and integrate third party technology, it could experience a reduction
in functionality and/or errors or failures of the Company’s products, which may reduce demand for its products and services.


 


Third-party
licenses may expose the Company to increased risks, including risks associated with the integration of new technology, the impact
of new technology integration on existing technology, open source software disclosure risks, the diversion of resources from the
development of the Company’s own proprietary technology, and inability to generate revenue from new technology sufficient
to offset associated acquisition and maintenance costs.


 


Proprietary
protection and intellectual property disputes


 


Protection
of the trade secrets, copyrights, trademarks, domain names and other product rights of the Company are important to its success.
The Company protects its intellectual property rights by relying on trademark protection, common law rights as well as contractual
restrictions. However, many of the Company’s proprietary technologies are currently unpatented nor has the Company made
any applications for such intellectual property registrations and has no present intention to do so in the near future. As such,
the current steps that it takes to protect its intellectual property, including contractual arrangements, may not be sufficient
to prevent the misappropriation of its proprietary information or deter independent development of similar technologies by others.


 


Should
the Company decide to register its intellectual property in one or more jurisdictions, it will be an expensive and time consuming
process and there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in any or all of such jurisdictions. The absence of registered
intellectual property rights, or the failure to obtain such registrations in the future, may result in the Company being unable
to successfully prevent its competitors from imitating its solutions or using some or all of its processes. Even if patents and
other registered intellectual property rights were to be issued to the Company, its intellectual property rights may not be sufficiently
comprehensive to prevent its competitors from developing similar competitive products and technologies.


 


With
the Company’s acquisition of WinView, it acquired WinView’s intellectual property portfolio. WinView’s patent
portfolio is an important asset to the Company and the Company’s patent strategy with respect to the WinView patent portfolio
is to pursue the broadest possible patent protection of its technologies in selected jurisdictions. Litigation may be necessary
to enforce the intellectual property rights of the Company. Any litigation of this nature, regardless of outcome or merit, could
result in substantial costs, adverse publicity or diversion of management and technical resources, any of which could adversely
affect the business and operating results of the Company. Moreover, due to the differences in foreign patent, trademark, copyright
and other laws concerning proprietary rights, the Company’s intellectual property may not receive the same degree of protection
in foreign countries as it would in Canada or the United States. The Company’s failure to possess, obtain or maintain adequate
protection of its intellectual property rights for any reason could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of
operations and financial condition.


 




    	19



    	 



    

 


The
Company may also face allegations that it has infringed the trademarks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights
of third parties, including from its competitors and former employers of the Company’s personnel. Whether a product infringes
a patent or other intellectual property right involves complex legal and factual issues, the determination of which is often uncertain.
As the result of any court judgment or settlement, the Company may be obligated to cancel the launch of a new game or product
offering, cease offering a game or certain features of a game, pay royalties or significant settlement costs, purchase licenses
or modify the Company’s software and features, or develop substitutes. The Company has already had communication from trade
mark trolls in this respect. At this time these actions are a nuisance rather than a quantifiable business risk.


 


In
addition, the Company uses open source software in its games and expects to continue to use open source software in the future.
From time to time, the Company may face claims from companies that incorporate open source software into their products, claiming
ownership of, or demanding release of, the source code, the open source software and/or derivative works that were developed using
such software, or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of the applicable open source license. These claims could also result
in litigation, require the Company to purchase a costly license or require the Company to devote additional research and development
resources to change its games, any of which would have a negative effect on the Company’s business and operating results.


 


System
failures, delays and other technical problems 


 


System
failures, delays and other technical problems could harm the Company’s reputation and business, causing the Company to lose
customers and expose it to customer liability. The Company may experience failures or interruptions of its systems and services,
or other problems in connection with its operations as a result of, amongst other things:


 


	 	●	damage
    to, or failure of, its computer software or hardware or its infrastructure and connections;
	 	●	data
    processing errors by its systems;
	 	●	computer
    viruses or software defects; and
	 	●	physical
    or electronic break-ins, sabotage, intentional acts of vandalism and similar events.


 


If
the Company cannot adequately ensure that its network services perform consistently at a high level or otherwise fail to meet
its customers’ expectations:


 


	 	●	it
    may experience damage to its reputation, which may adversely affect its ability to attract or retain customers who participate
    in online esports tournaments;
	 	●	its
    operating expenses or capital expenditures may increase as a result of corrective actions that the Company must perform; or
	 	●	one
    or more of its significant contracts may be terminated early, or may not be renewed.


 


Transmission
of User Data


 


The
Company transmits and stores a large volume of data. The Company is subject to legislation and regulations on the collection,
storage, retention, transmission and use of user-data that it collects. The Company’s efforts to protect the personal information
of its users, partners and clients may be unsuccessful due to the actions of third parties, software bugs or technical malfunctions,
employee error or malfeasance, or other factors. In addition, third parties may attempt to fraudulently induce employees or users
to disclose information in order to gain access to the Company’s data, users’ data, partners’ data or clients’
data. If any of these events occur, users’, partners’ or clients’ information could be accessed or disclosed
improperly. Any incidents involving the unauthorized access to or improper use of the information of users or incidents involving
violation of the Company’s terms of service or policies could damage the Company’s reputation and brands and diminish
its competitive position. Moreover, affected users, clients or governmental authorities could initiate legal or regulatory action
against the Company in connection with such incidents, which could cause the Company to incur significant expense and liability
or result in orders or consent decrees forcing the Company to modify its business practices and remediate the effects of any such
incidents of unauthorized access or use. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s prospects,
businesses, financial condition or results of operations.

Data
collection risks 


 


The
Company partially relies on data captured by Stream Hatchet for its revenues and for assessing the performance of some of its
brands. Capturing accurate data is subject to various limitations. For example, Stream Hatchet may need to collect certain data
from mobile carriers or other third parties such as various viewing platforms, which limits the Company’s ability to verify
the reliability of such data. Further, Stream Hatchet may not be able to collect any data from third parties at all. Failure to
capture accurate data or an incorrect assessment of this data may materially harm business and operating results.


 


Mobile
gaming and the free-to-play business model 


 


Eden
Games is partially reliant on the free-to-play business model where monetization is through in-app purchases. The risks of that
business model include the dependence on a relatively small number of consumers for a significant portion of revenues and profits
from any given game, including the current title, Gear.Club. If the Company increases its reliance on the free-to-play model,
the Company may be exposed to increased risk. For example, the Company may invest in the development of new free-to-play interactive
entertainment products that do not achieve significant commercial success, in which case the Company’s revenues from those
products likely will be lower than anticipated and the Company may not recover its development costs. Further, if: (1) the Company
fails to offer monetization features that appeal to its consumers; (2) these consumers do not continue to play the free-to-play
games or purchase virtual items at the same rate; (3) the Company’s platform providers make it more difficult or expensive
for players to purchase the Company’s virtual currency; or (4) the Company cannot encourage significant additional consumers
to purchase virtual items in its free-to-play games, the Company’s business may be negatively impacted.


 


Global
economy 


 


The
business of the Company is subject to general economic conditions. Adverse changes in general economic and market conditions could
adversely impact demand for the Company’s products, prices, revenue, operating costs, results of financing efforts, and
the timing and extent of capital expenditures.


 


Foreign
operational risks


 


A
significant portion of the business and operations of the Company is conducted in foreign jurisdictions, including the United
States, Spain and France. As such, the Company’s business and operations may be adversely affected by changes in foreign
government policies and legislation or social instability and other factors which are not within the control of the Company, including,
but not limited to, renegotiation or nullification of existing contracts or licenses, changes in policies, regulatory requirements
or the personnel administering them, economic sanctions, risk of terrorist activities, revolution, border disputes, implementation
of tariffs and other trade barriers and protectionist practices, volatility of financial markets, labour disputes and other risks
arising out of foreign governmental sovereignty over the areas in which the Company’s business is conducted. The Company’s
operations may also be adversely affected by laws and policies of such foreign jurisdictions affecting foreign trade, taxation
and investment.


 


If
the Company’s operations are disrupted and/or the economic integrity of its contracts is threatened for unexpected reasons,
its business may be harmed. In the event of a dispute arising in connection with the Company’s operations in a foreign jurisdiction
where the Company conducts or will conduct its business, the Company may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts
or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdictions of the courts of Canada or enforcing Canadian judgments
in such other jurisdictions. The Company may also be hindered or prevented from enforcing its rights with respect to a governmental
instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity. Accordingly, the Company’s activities in foreign jurisdictions
could be substantially affected by factors beyond their control, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company believes that its management is sufficiently experienced to manage these risks.


 


Regulation


 


The
Company is subject to general business regulations and laws as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the internet,
gaming, e-commerce and electronic devices. Existing and future laws and regulations may impede the Company’s growth or strategy.
These regulations and laws cover taxation, privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, mobile communications,
consumer protection, web services, wagering, the provision of online payment services, websites and the characteristics and quality
or products and services. Unfavourable changes in regulations and laws could decrease demand for the Company’s events, online
offering and merchandise, increase its cost of doing business or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
reputation, popularity, results of operations and financial condition.


 




    	21



    	 



    

 


The
Company has never paid dividends and may not do so in the foreseeable future 


 


The
Company has never paid cash dividends on its Common Shares. Currently, the Company intends to retain its future earnings, if any,
to fund the development and growth of its business, and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its Common Shares in
the near future. As a result, shareholders will have to rely on capital appreciation, if any, to earn a return on investment in
any Common Shares in the foreseeable future.


 


The
market price for Common Shares has been volatile in the past, and may be subject to fluctuations in the future


 


The
market price of the Common Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which
are beyond the Company’s control. This volatility may affect the ability of holders of Common Shares to sell their securities
at an advantageous price. Market price fluctuations in the Common Shares may be due to the Company’s operating results failing
to meet expectations of securities analysts or investors in any period, downward revision in securities analysts’ estimates,
adverse changes in general market conditions or economic trends, acquisitions, dispositions or other material public announcements
by the Company or its competitors, along with a variety of additional factors. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect
the market price of the Common Shares.


 


Financial
markets historically at times experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market
prices of equity securities of companies and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values
or prospects of such companies. Accordingly, the market price of the Common Shares may decline even if the Company’s operating
results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors,
may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses. There can
be no assurance that continuing fluctuations in price and volume will not occur. If such increased levels of volatility and market
turmoil continue, the Company’s operations could be adversely impacted and the trading price of the Common Shares may be
materially adversely affected.


 


Emerging
diseases, like COVID-19, may adversely affect the Company’s operations, suppliers, or customers


 


Emerging
diseases, like COVID-19, and government actions to address them, may adversely affect the Company’s operations, suppliers,
or customers. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve rapidly and, as a result, it is difficult to accurately assess its continued
magnitude, outcome and duration, but it could:


 


	 	●	worsen
    economic conditions, which could negatively impact access to capital;
	 	●	reduce
    consumer spending;
	 	●	limit
    the Company’s employees from travelling which could affect the execution of the Company’s business plan given
    the Company is multi-jurisdictional; or
	 	●	result
    in governmental regulation adversely impacting the Company’s business


 


all
of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations,
which could be rapid and unexpected.


 


Item
5. DIVIDENDS


 


5.1
Dividends


 


The
Company has not paid any dividends since its incorporation. Any determination to pay any future dividends will remain at the discretion
of the Board and will be made based on the Company’s financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the Board.
There are currently no restrictions on the ability of the Company to pay dividends except as set out under the Company’s
governing statute.

6.4
Awards


 


The
Company has adopted
an omnibus equity incentive plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) in accordance
with the policies of the TSXV which provides
that the Board
may from time
to time, in its discretion
and in accordance with TSXV requirements, grant
to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and/or its affiliates
(“Eligible Participants”), Common
Share purchase options (“Options”), restricted share units (“RSUs”),
and deferred share units (“DSUs”, and collectively with the Options and RSUs, the “Awards”).


 


Under
the policies of the TSXV, except in certain circumstances, Awards granted under the Omnibus Plan are not required to have a vesting
period, although the directors may continue to grant Awards with vesting periods, as the circumstances require. The Omnibus Plan
authorizes the Board to grant Awards to Eligible Participants on the following terms:


 


	1.	Under
                                         the Omnibus Plan, the total number of Common Shares reserved and available for grant
                                         and issuance pursuant to Awards shall not exceed 1,501,084 Common Shares.
	 	 
	2.	For
                                         so long as the Company is listed on the TSXV or on another exchange that requires the
                                         Company to fix the number of Common Shares to be issued in settlement of Awards that
                                         are not Options, the maximum number of Common Shares available for issuance pursuant
                                         to the settlement of RSUs and DSUs together shall be an aggregate of 750,542 Common Shares.
		



 




    	24



    	 



    

 


	3.	The
                                         aggregate number of Common Shares for which Awards may be issued to any one participant
                                         in any 12-month period shall not exceed 5% of the outstanding Common Shares, unless the
                                         Company obtains disinterested shareholder approval as required by the policies of the
                                         TSXV. The aggregate number of Common Shares for which Awards may be issued to any one
                                         consultant within any 12-month period shall not exceed 2% of the outstanding Common Shares,
                                         calculated on the date an Award is granted to the consultant. The aggregate number of
                                         Common Shares for which Options may be issued to any persons retained to provide Investor
                                         Relations Activities (as defined by the TSXV) within any 12-month period shall not exceed
                                         2% of the outstanding Shares, calculated on the date an Option is granted to such persons.
	 	 
	4.	Unless
                                         disinterested shareholder approval as required by the policies of the TSXV is obtained:
                                         (i) the maximum number of Common Shares for which Awards may be issued to insiders of
                                         the Company (as a group) at any point in time shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding
                                         Common Shares; and (ii) the aggregate number of Awards granted to insiders of the Company
                                         (as a group), within any 12-month period, shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding Common
                                         Shares, calculated at the date an Award is granted to any insider.
	 	 
	5.	The
                                         Board may not grant Awards to Directors if, after giving effect to such grant of Awards,
                                         the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable to Directors, at the time of the grant,
                                         would exceed 1% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis,
                                         and within any one financial year of the Corporation, (A) the aggregate fair value on
                                         the grant date of all Options granted to any one Director shall not exceed $100,000,
                                         and (B) the aggregate fair market value on the grant date of all Awards (including, for
                                         greater certainty, the fair market value of the Options) granted to any one Director
                                         shall not exceed $150,000; provided that such limits shall not apply to (i) Awards taken
                                         in lieu of any cash retainer or meeting director fees, and (ii) a one-time initial grant
                                         to a Director upon such Director joining the Board.
	 	 
	6.	All
                                         Awards granted under the Omnibus Plan are non-transferable in any manner, including assignment,
                                         except as may be permitted by the Board (or the designate committee of the Board), or
                                         as specifically provided in the agreement for an Award granted under the Omnibus Plan.

Omnibus Plan was last approved, together with amendments thereon, by shareholders of the Company at a meeting held on July 15,
2020. As of the date hereof, there were an aggregate of 250,768 Options, nil DSUs, and 582,309 RSUs outstanding under the existing

of the Company and for ensuring that management fulfills its financial reporting responsibilities. The Audit Committee assists
the Board in fulfilling this responsibility. The Audit Committee meets with management to review the financial reporting process

Conflicts of Interest


 


In
the event conflicts of interest arise at a meeting of the Board, a director who has such a conflict will declare the conflict
and abstain from voting. In appropriate cases, the Company will establish a special committee of independent non-executive directors
(drawn from the majority of its members who must at all times be “independent” within the meaning of NI 52-110) to
review a matter in which one or more directors or management may have a conflict.


 


Except
as disclosed in this AIF, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, there are no known existing or potential material conflicts
of interest between the Company or any subsidiary of the Company and any director or officer of the Company or any subsidiary
of the Company, except that certain of the directors of the Company serve as directors and officers of other companies and it
is therefore possible that a conflict may arise between their duties as a director or officer of the Company and their duties
as a director or officer of such other companies. Where such conflicts arise, they will be addressed as indicated above.

                                         Company’s risks and risk management policies;



 


		(f)	the
                                         Company’s system of internal controls and management information systems; and



 


		(g)	such
                                         other functions as are delegated to it by the Board.



 


Specifically,
with respect to the Company’s external audit function, the Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight
responsibilities relating to: the quality and integrity of the Company’s financial statements; the independent auditors’
qualifications; and the performance of the Company’s independent auditors.


 


MEMBERSHIP


 


The
Audit Committee shall consist of as many members as the Board shall determine but, in any event not fewer than three directors
appointed by the Board. Each member of the Audit Committee shall be “independent” (as such term is defined under applicable
laws and in the rules and regulations of all exchanges on which the securities of the Company are listed for trading) and continue
to be a member until a successor is appointed, unless the member resigns, is removed or ceases to be a director of the Company.
The Board may fill a vacancy that occurs in the Audit Committee at any time.

                                         a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting
                                         issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that
                                         can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company’s financial statements.
                                         At least one member of the Audit Committee shall have past employment experience in finance
                                         or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable
                                         experience or background which results in the individual’s financial sophistication,
                                         including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or
                                         other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities.

		(a)	require
                                         the external auditors to report directly to the Audit Committee;



 


		(b)	be
                                         directly responsible for the selection, nomination, compensation, retention, termination
                                         and oversight of the work of the Company’s external auditors engaged for the purpose
                                         of preparing or issuing an auditor’s report or performing other audit, review or
                                         attest services for the Company, and in such regard recommend to the Board the external
                                         auditors to be nominated for approval by the shareholders;



 


		(c)	approve
                                         all audit engagements and must pre-approve the provision by the external auditors of
                                         all non-audit services, including fees and terms for all audit engagements and non-audit
                                         engagements, and in such regard the Audit Committee may establish the types of non-audit
                                         services the external auditors shall be prohibited from providing and shall establish
                                         the types of audit, audit related and non-audit services for which the Audit Committee
                                         will retain the external auditors. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more of
                                         its independent members the authority to pre-approve non-audit services, provided that
                                         any such delegated pre-approval shall be exercised in accordance with the types of particular
                                         non-audit services authorized by the Audit Committee to be provided by the external auditor
                                         and the exercise of such delegated pre-approvals shall be presented to the full Audit
                                         Committee at its next scheduled meeting following such pre-approval;



 


		(d)	review
                                         and approve the Company’s policies for the hiring of partners and employees and
                                         former partners and employees of the present and former external auditors;



 


		(e)	receive
                                         written communications from the external auditor, consistent with PCAOB Rule 3526, on
                                         all relationships between the external auditor and the Company or persons in financial
                                         oversight reporting roles at the Company that may be thought to bear on the external
                                         auditor’s independence and the written affirmation of the external auditor of their
                                         independence as of the date of the communication. Actively engage in a dialogue with
                                         the external auditor regarding any relationship or services that may impact the objectivity
                                         or independence of the external auditor. Evaluate the qualifications, performance and
                                         independence of the auditor, including considering whether the provision of permitted
                                         non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence. Confirm
                                         with the independent auditor that the rotation of the audit partner, lead partner and
                                         concurring partner of the external auditor is occurring as required by law. Obtain from
                                         the independent auditor assurance that the audit was conducted in a manner consistent
                                         with Section 10A(b) of the Exchange Act regarding the detection and reporting of any
                                         illegal acts;



 


		(f)	request
                                         and review the audit plan of the external auditors as well as a report by the external

6.
Limitation on the Oversight Role of the Audit Committee


 


Nothing
in this Charter is intended, or may be construed, to impose on any member of the Audit Committee a standard of care or diligence
that is in any way more onerous or extensive than the standard to which all members of the Board are subject.


 


Each
member of the Audit Committee shall be entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to rely on the integrity of those persons
and organizations within and outside the Company from whom he or she receives financial and other information, and the accuracy
of the information provided to the Company by such persons or organizations.


 


While
the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to
plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate
and in accordance with applicable accounting principles and standards and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibility
of management and the external auditors.
