**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Report"), including "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, regarding future events and the future results of NextPlay Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industries in which the Company operates and the beliefs and assumptions of the management of the Company. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "targets," "goals," "projects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements included in this Report. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this Report, including under the section entitled "Risk Factors", and in other reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2022, as filed with the SEC on June 21, 2022 (under the heading "Risk Factors" and in other parts of that report) and in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on October 24, 2022 (under the heading "Risk Factors"). The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as otherwise required by law.

The following discussion is based upon our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, derivative liabilities and related disclosure of contingencies. Each of these decisions has some impact on the financial results for any given period. In making these decisions, we consider various factors including contractual obligations, customer satisfaction, competition, internal and external financial targets and expectations, and financial planning objectives. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the fair value of investments, the carrying amounts of intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, purchase price allocation in connection with business combinations and allowance for credit losses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Report, and in other reports we file with the SEC, including in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. All references to years relate to the Company's fiscal year ended February 28 or 29 (during leap years) of the particular year.

**Summary Risk Factors**

We face risks and uncertainties related to our business, many of which are beyond our control. In particular, risks associated with our business include:

● We will need to raise additional funding to support our operations, which funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all;

● We have a limited operating history in certain of the industries that we currently operate in and have incurred significant operating losses since inception. We may never become profitable or, if achieved, be able to sustain profitability;

● We have significant indebtedness, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition;

● We owe significant amounts to Streeterville Capital, LLC, which is secured by a security interest over substantially all of our assets, and we are subject to requirements, penalties and damages under our agreements with Streeterville;

● Our long-term success depends, in part, on our ability to continue to expand our operations outside of the United States and, as a result, our business is susceptible to risks associated with international operations;

● The sale of our travel and media businesses is contingent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, may not be completed on the currently contemplated timeline, or at all, and may not achieve the intended benefits;

● Currently pending or future litigation or governmental proceedings could result in material adverse consequences, including judgments or settlements;

● The industries in which we participate are highly competitive;

● A failure to be current in our filings with the SEC could pose significant risks to our business, which could, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

● Our common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market if we cannot satisfy Nasdaq's continued listing requirements;

● Our future success depends on the continuing efforts of our key employees and our ability to attract, hire, retain and motivate highly skilled employees in the future;

● We rely on relationships with developers to provide an extensive game portfolio and sufficient advertising spaces;

● We derive a significant portion of our revenues from advertisements, and if any events occur that negatively impact our relationships with advertisers, our advertising revenues and operating results and prospects could be harmed;

● Our products and internal systems rely on software and hardware that is highly technical, and any errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities in these systems, or failures to address or mitigate technical limitations in such systems, could adversely affect our business;

● Our business partners may be unable to honor their obligations to us, or their actions may put us at risk;

● HotPlay's go-to-market strategy and corresponding timeline are dependent on being able to successfully recruit substantial additional resources within FY23. Failure to do this could result in the revenues generated from HotPlay being delayed beyond FY23;

iii

● Although Longroot is a licensed ICO Portal in Thailand, it has not yet closed any offerings, and there can be no assurances that it will;

● Longroot operations are subject to risks associated with digital asset exchanges being a new industry, regulatory changes and/or restrictions, potential illegal uses of digital assets, cyber security risks, and reliance on open source blockchain technologies;

● Our ability to generate revenue through the sale of digital assets is subject to risk associated with economic and market conditions, the acceptance and widespread use of digital assets, and investor confidence levels;

● The performance of the digital assets issued is dependent on the performance of the issuer and underlying asset, which is unpredictable and may result in reputation damage should they underperform;

● There are cyber security risks related to digital asset trading;

● Our tokens might be used for illegal or improper purposes, which could expose us to additional liability and harm our business;

● Developing NextBank into a comprehensive FinTech solution provider involves a high level of complexity, may require substantial resources and costs, and is subject to obtaining regulatory approval;

● NextBank's ability to originate loans is subject to risk associated with economic and market conditions;

● NextBank uses correspondent banks and is subject to risk associated with termination of such relationships, which may negatively impact its operations;

● Our success is subject to the development of new or upgraded products, services and features over time;

● Our business is subject to complex and evolving U.S. and foreign laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, content, competition, and consumer protection. Many of these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to our business practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations, or declines in user growth or engagement, or otherwise harm our business;

● Our business, products, and distribution are subject to increasing regulation in key territories. If we do not successfully respond to these regulations, our business could be negatively impacted;

● NextBank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements. Regulatory changes or actions may alter the requirements for capital;

● NextBank faces a risk of non-compliance and enforcement action related to the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering, customer due diligence, and combating the financing of terrorism statutes and regulations;

● We are subject to anti-bribery, anti-corruption and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws could subject us to criminal penalties or significant fines and harm our business and reputation;

● If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property, our ability to compete could be impaired;

● Certain of our products are subject to the threat of piracy and unauthorized copying, and inadequate intellectual property laws and other protections could prevent us from enforcing or defending our proprietary technologies;

iv

● We may be subject to claims that we violated intellectual property rights of others, which are extremely costly to defend and could require us to pay significant damages and limit our ability to operate;

● Our ability to acquire and maintain licenses to intellectual property may affect our revenue and profitability;

● We use open-source software in connection with certain of our games and services, which may pose particular risks to our proprietary software, products, and services, and which could have a negative impact on our business;

● The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, and investors could lose all or part of their investments;

● Stockholders may be diluted significantly as a result of the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable for, shares of our common stock;

● The ownership of our capital stock is highly concentrated, which may prevent other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and may result in conflicts of interest that could cause our stock price to decline;

● If we fail to maintain effective internal controls, it could adversely affect our financial position and lower our stock price;

● If securities analysts and other industry experts do not publish research or publish negative research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline;

● Provisions in our amended and restated articles of incorporation limit the liability of our management to stockholders;

● Certain of our outstanding warrants include anti-dilutive rights;

● Sales of a substantial number of our securities in the public market could cause our stock price to fall; and

● We have not paid dividends on shares of our common stock in the past and do not plan to do so in the future.

**NextPlay Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries**

**Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements** 

**(Unaudited)**

***Note 1 – Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies***

**Nature of Operations and Business Organization** 

NextPlay Technologies, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, "NextPlay," "we," "our," "us," or the "Company"), is building a technology solutions company, offering games, in-game advertising, digital asset products and services, and connected TV to consumers and corporations within a growing worldwide digital ecosystem. NextPlay's engaging products and services utilize innovative advertising technology ("AdTech"), Artificial Intelligence ("AI") and financial technology ("FinTech") solutions to leverage the strengths and channels of its existing and acquired technologies.

As of November 30, 2022, NextPlay is organized into two divisions: (i) NextMedia, the Company's Interactive Digital Media Division and (ii) NextFinTech, the Company's Finance and Technology Division.

(i) NextMedia, the Company's Interactive Digital Media Division

In the Interactive Digital Media Division, NextPlay closed its acquisition of HotPlay Enterprise Limited and its In-Game Advertising ("IGA") platform on June 30, 2021.

(ii) NextFinTech, the Company's Finance and Technology Division

In the Finance and Technology Division, the Company's acquisition of International Financial Enterprise Bank ("IFEB"), now called NextBank International, Inc. ("NextBank"), and the conditional approval from the Labuan Financial Services Authority ("Labuan FSA") to operate a general insurance and reinsurance business, is expected to allow NextPlay to offer individuals and households asset management and banking services, and travel related services such as travel finance and travel insurance, subject to regulatory approval and licensing.

Our Company, in accordance with Thailand foreign ownership laws, holds an indirect control of Longroot (Thailand) Company Limited ("Longroot"), which operates in financial advisory service and owns an Initial Coin Offering ("ICO") Portal which is approved and regulated by the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission ("Thai SEC"). The Portal enables us to crypto-securitize an array of high-quality alternative assets, such as video games, insurance contracts, and real estate. These digital assets serve as a new asset class, which the Company's management believes will create significant opportunities to accelerate products and services within the FinTech division's asset management business.

Effective November 16, 2021, the Labuan Financial Services Authority (the "Labuan FSA") approved the Company's application to carry on general insurance and reinsurance business, subject to certain conditions including (i) payment of a $15,000 annual license fee, (ii) submission of evidence reflecting paid up capital amounting to MYR $10.0 mil (approximately to $2,260,000 US), (iii) submission of proof of registration as a member of Labuan International Insurance Association, (iv) submission of a Management Services Agreement with the appointed insurance manager, (v) submission of a Letter of Undertaking, and (vi) submission of constituent documents to the Registration of Company Unit. The conditions were to be met within 3 months of November 29, 2021, the date Labuan FSA issued a letter confirming the conditional approval. In August 2022, the Company received a permission letter from Labuan FSA to extend the establishment until November 30, 2022. The Company plans to use the general insurance license to issue primary insurance products and the reinsurance license to issue crypto-securitized insurance in collaboration with Longroot.

On October 14, 2021, "Longroot Inc." (a subsidiary of the Company) changed its name to "Next Fintech Holdings, Inc." The Company plans to use Next Fintech Holdings, Inc. as the holding company for its FinTech division.

**Reverse Stock Split**

Effective January 6, 2023, the Company implemented a reverse stock split of the Company's authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at a ratio of 1-for-20 (the "Reverse Split"). In order to implement the Reverse Split, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the "Certificate of Change") to effectuate the Reverse Split in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") Section 78.209. The Company is effecting the Reverse Split to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

In connection with the reverse stock split, the number of authorized shares of common stock and the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock are proportionally reduced without change in par value per share of $0.00001. Also on the Effective Date, all options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company that are outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split will be adjusted by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock into which the options, warrants and other convertible securities are exercisable or convertible by 20, and multiplying the exercise or conversion price thereof by 20, all in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such options, warrants and other convertible securities and subject to rounding to the nearest whole share. Accordingly, all historical per share data, number of shares outstanding and other common stock equivalents for the periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split.

**Strategic Sale of Reinhart Digital TV (Zappware) and NextTrip to TGS Esports, Inc.**

On June 28, 2022, the Company entered into a series of agreements, including a securities exchange agreement, with William Kerby, the Company's co-Chief Executive Officer and director, Donald P. Monaco, a director of the Company, and British Columbia-based TGS E-Sports Inc. (TSX-V: TGS, OTC: TGSEF) ("TGS"), a public company whose securities are listed for trading on the Canadian TSX Venture Exchange, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell the Company's travel business, NextTrip Group, LLC ("NextTrip"), and its 51% ownership of Reinhart Digital TV (the 100% owner of Zappware) to TGS in exchange for securities of TGS as discussed in further detail below. TGS, is a leading esports tournament solutions provider.

Prior to the execution of the securities exchange agreement, NextTrip issued an aggregate of 915,000 units in NextTrip to Messrs. Kerby and Monaco to resolve certain management unit issuances provided for in NextTrip's Operating Agreement as consideration for services rendered.

As consideration for the sale of Reinhart and NextTrip, upon closing of the transaction, (i) the Company will receive 232,380,952 shares of newly created nonvoting convertible preferred stock of TGS (the "TGS Preferred"), valued at $12.2 million, and (ii) Messrs. Kerby and Monaco, both of whom hold certain equity interests in NextTrip (discussed above), will receive an aggregate of 69,714,286 TGS common shares, valued at $3.66 million, of which 11,619,048 TGS common shareswill be held in escrow for a period of time. The TGS Preferred shares will be redeemable in certain situations, can be sold subject to certain transfer restrictions (including a right of first refusal in favor of TGS), and may be converted into shares of TGS common shares in certain limited circumstances, including mandatory conversion upon the occurrence of certain events. In the event that the TGS Preferred shares are converted into shares of TGS common shares by the Company at any time, the Company is obligated to distributed all such shares of TGS common shares in a stock dividend to its shareholders. Concurrently with a determination to convert the TGS Preferred shares into shares of TGS common shares, if ever, the Company will set a shareholder record date for a special dividend to distribute all of the common shares of TGS held by the Company to the Company's shareholders, on a pro-rata basis.

In addition to the securities exchange agreement, the Company, NextTrip, Reinhart and TGS also entered into a separation agreement on June 28, 2022, to further document the separation of NextTrip and Reinhart from the Company and to assign, transfer and convey certain assets and liabilities held in NextTrip or the Company's name, respectively, to NextTrip or the Company, respectively, to allow for the separation of the businesses in accordance with the securities exchange agreement at closing of the transaction. The separation agreement also provides for the termination of certain intercompany agreements and accounts by and between the parties at closing of the transaction, sets rights related to confidentiality, non-disclosure and maintenance of attorney-client privilege matters, and also provides for a mutual release by and among the Company, NextTrip and Reinhart for all pre-closing claims between themselves and their officers, directors, affiliates, successors and assigns.

In addition, the separation agreement provides for the contribution of (i) $1.5 million to NextTrip and (ii) an additional $1.5 million in ten (10) equal monthly installments beginning July 1, 2022, in exchange for NextTrip, as of May 1, 2022, agreeing to assume the ongoing operating expenses of NextTrip and Reinhart. NextTrip has also agreed to assume payments under that certain payment obligation of the Company pursuant an Amendment to Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement effective May 18, 2021, by and between the Company, IDS Inc., TD Assets Holding LLC, and Ari Daniels in the approximate amount of $2,500,000, provided, however, that, if the Company fails to make any of the above installment payments within five (5) business days of being due, that such IDS payment obligation reverts back to the Company. As of November 30, 2022, the Company has not made the requisite installment payments to NextTrip and, as such, the IDS payment obligation has reverted back to the Company.

Closing of the transaction remains subject to various conditions, including (without limitation) regulatory approvals, approval of certain related matters by TGS' shareholders and consummation of a financing by TGS, and is expected to occur in Q4 2022. No assurances can be provided that the closing conditions will be satisfied, or that the transaction will be consummated on the anticipated timeline, or at all.

The transaction, once consummated, is expected to streamline the Company's business operations and management, improve capital allocation, and is expected to unlock shareholder value by offering investors a pure-play investment in the Digital Media and Financial Technology sectors.

As a result of the foregoing, as of November 30, 2022, Reinhart/Zappware and NextTrip were no longer treated as a division of the Company; accordingly, for the nine-month and three-month periods ended November 30, 2022, the Company had two remaining reportable business segments: NextFinTech and NextMedia. Assets and liabilities of Reinhart TV AG/Zappware and NextTrip were classified as held for sale according to Strategic Sale of Reinhart Digital TV (Zappware) and NextTrip to TGS Esports, Inc.

**Reverse Acquisition of HotPlay Enterprise Ltd.**

On July 23, 2020, the Company (then known as Monaker Group, Inc. ("Monaker")) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (as amended from time to time, the "Share Exchange Agreement") with HotPlay Enterprise Limited ("HotPlay") and the stockholders of HotPlay (the "HotPlay Stockholders"). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, Monaker exchanged 52,000,000 shares of its common stock for 100% of the issued and outstanding capital of HotPlay, with HotPlay continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Monaker. The reverse acquisition between HotPlay and Monaker was completed on June 30, 2021. After the reverse acquisition, effective July 9, 2021, Monaker changed its name to "NextPlay Technologies, Inc." The HotPlay acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with HotPlay being deemed the acquiring company for accounting purposes. The comparative figures included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the period as from incorporation date to June 30, 2021 represents financial position and operating results of HotPlay Enterprise Ltd.

During the nine-month period ended November 30, 2022, the Company completed the fair value assessment (Purchase Price Allocation) of the net identifiable assets and liabilities assumed by an independent appraiser. In order to reflect the adjustment to the provisional fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the reverse acquisition of HotPlay Enterprise Ltd. at the acquisition date, the adjustments were made as follows:

The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration transferred:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Number of Monaker common shares outstanding as of 6/30/2021<sup>(1)</sup> | 1192710 |
| Monaker share price as of 6/30/2021<sup>(1)</sup> | $44.80 |
| Fair value of common shares | $53433415 |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Reflects retroactively the 1-for-20 reverse stock split for number of shares and share prices that became effective January 6, 2023. Refer to Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Business Organization.

| **Fair value of non-controlling interests of the subsidiaries** | $5433783 | 6018273 | 11452056 |

---

Fair value adjustments were from the increase in fair value of intangible assets which are developed software and goodwill upon the completion of fair value assessment (Purchase Price Allocation) of the subsidiaries subsequent to the closing date of reverse acquisition. As a result, non-controlling interests of the subsidiaries amounting to $6.0 million were adjusted to reflect the fair value as of June 30, 2021 by recognizing the adjustment in additional paid-in capital in consolidated statement of stockholders' equity.

**Interim Financial Statements**

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on June 21, 2022.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending February 28, 2023.

**Principles of Consolidation**

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

**Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These differences could have a material effect on the Company's future results of operations and financial position. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include the fair value of investments, the carrying amounts of intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, purchase price allocation in connection with the business combination and allowance for credit losses.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents**

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents on November 30, 2022, and February 28, 2022.

**Short Term Investments**

The short term investments are a short-term certificate of deposit with a maturity date more than three months, as required by the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions ("OCIF") for business purpose of one of the Company's subsidiaries.

**Other Receivable, Unbilled Receivables**

A receivable is recognized when the Company has an unconditional right to receive consideration. If revenue has been recognized before the Company has an unconditional right to receive consideration, the amount is presented as an unbilled receivable. A receivable is measured at transaction price less credit loss, and unbilled receivables are measured at the amount of consideration that the Company is entitled to, less credit loss. The Company calculates its allowance for current expected credit losses ("CECL") based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date. CECLs are calculated based on its historical credit loss experience and adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. A receivable is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

**Loans Receivable and Allowance for Loan Losses**

**Loans Receivable**

Loans that the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or pay-off, generally are stated at their outstanding principal amount adjusted for charge-offs and the allowance for loan losses. Interest is accrued as earned based upon the daily outstanding principal balance.

The accrual of interest is generally discontinued at the time a loan is 90 days past due, unless the credit is well-secured and in the process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. Interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

**Allowance for Loan Losses**

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon collectability of loans, based on historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This represents management's estimate of CECL in the Company's loan portfolio over its expected life, which is the contract term being the reasonable and supportable period that we can reasonably and supportably forecast future economic conditions to estimate expected credit losses. The historical loss experience is to be adjusted for asset-specific risk characteristics and economic conditions, including both current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions.

This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Due to potential changes in conditions, it is possible that changes in estimates will occur and that such changes could be material to the amounts reported in the Company's financial statements.

**Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets** 

The Company records cash paid in advance for goods and/or services to be received in the future as prepaid expenses. Prepaid expenses are expensed over time according to the period indicated on the respective contract. Other current assets are recognized when it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the Company and the asset has a cost or value that can be measured reliably. It is then charged to expense over the expected number of periods during which economic benefits will be realized.

**Advances for Investments**

Advances for investments represent cash deposits transferred to the potential seller as a deposit payment, as stipulated in the relevant investment purchase agreement, mainly for potential acquisitions of assets or businesses.

**Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates**

Investment in unconsolidated affiliates is recognized at cost less valuation loss.

**Computer, Furniture and Equipment**

The Company purchases computers, laptops, furniture and fixtures. These are originally recorded at cost and stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any. The computers and laptops are depreciated over a useful life of 3 - 5 years, respectively. The furniture and fixtures are depreciated over a useful life of 5 and 10 years, respectively. Straight-line depreciation is used for all computers, laptops, furniture and equipment.

**Intangible Assets**

*Software Development Costs*

The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application in accordance with guidelines established by "ASC 985-20-25" Accounting for the Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requiring certain software development costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Amortization of the capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release to customers. Capitalized costs are amortized based on the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.

 

*Website Development Costs*

The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350-50 "Website Development Costs". Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage that meet specific criteria are capitalized and costs incurred in the day-to-day operation of the website are expensed as incurred. All costs associated with the websites are subject to straight-line amortization over a three-year period.

**Goodwill**

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from assets acquired in a business combination that is not individually identified and separately recognized as an asset. Adjustments made to the acquisition accounting during the measurement period may affect the recognition and measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest ("NCI"), consideration transferred and goodwill or any bargain purchase gain, as well as the remeasurement of any pre-existing interest in the acquiree.

In our assessment, goodwill arisen from reverse acquisition is allocated systematically and reasonably to reporting segments which are regularly reviewed by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The CODM allocates resources and assess performance of the business and other activities at the single operating segment level. The reporting units for impairment testing purpose are determined as the lowest level of cash generating unit below the operating segments since the components constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available, and the CODM regularly reviews the operating results of the components. Certain components share similar economic characteristic and are deemed to be a single reporting unit.

The Company assigned assets and liabilities to each reporting unit based on either specific identification or by using judgment for the remaining assets and liabilities that are not specific to a reporting unit. Goodwill was assigned to the reporting units based on a combination of specific identification and relative fair values. Goodwill associated with reporting units being sold are included in the carrying amount of assets held for sale at the reporting date.

**Impairment of Intangible Assets**

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important, which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Significant underperformance compared to historical or projected future operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Significant negative industry or economic trends.

In impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the Company's reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The Company estimates the recoverable amount of each reporting unit to which the goodwill and intangible assets relates. Where the recoverable amount of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses cannot be reversed in future periods. During the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, the Company carries out annual impairment reviews at the reporting unit level in respect of goodwill and intangible assets by performing qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If those impairment indicators exist, the quantitative assessment is required to assess the recoverable amount of the reporting unit by performing step 1 of the two-step goodwill impairment test. If we perform step 1 and the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we would perform step 2 to measure such impairment. In determining value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value to reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by a valuation model that, based on information available, reflects the amount that the Company could obtain from the disposal of the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, after deducting the costs of disposal.

In determining allowance for impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, the management is required to exercise judgements regarding determination of the recoverable amount of the asset, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.

**Accounts Payable, Notes Payable and Accrued Expenses**

Accounts payable are recognized when the Company receives invoices, and accrued expenses are recognized when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will result from the settlement of a present obligation and the amount at which the settlement will take place can be measured reliably.

Notes payable are recognized at cost, net transaction costs. Transaction costs are amortized over the terms of notes payable using effective interest rate method.

**Customer Demand Deposits Payable**

Customer deposit represents cash demand deposits payable received from customers at NextBank.

**Business Combination**

The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values, as determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, as of the closing date. ASC 805 establishes a measurement period to provide the Company with a reasonable amount of time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure various items in a business combination and cannot extend beyond one year from the acquisition date.

**Non-Controlling Interests** 

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable directly or indirectly to the parent. At the acquisition date, the Company measures any non-controlling interest at fair value.

**Foreign Currency Translation**

The Company prepares the consolidated financial statements using U.S. dollars as the functional currency. The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date with the resulting translation adjustments included as a separate component of stockholders' equity through other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange. The Company includes realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of net and comprehensive loss.

The effect of foreign currency translation on cash and cash equivalents is reflected in cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

**Earnings per Share**

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. For the nine months ended November 31, 2022 and 2021, warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive. The Company presents earnings per share from continuing operation and discontinued operation separately.

**Assets and liabilities held for sale**

In accordance with ASC 306, the potential sale of Reinhart/Zappware and NextTrip qualified as assets and liabilities held for sale as: (i) the Company has committed to a plan to sell, (ii) the disposal entities are available for immediate sale, (iii) the buyer has been identified and has committed to purchase, subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions, and (iv) it is probable to occur within 1 year from the date of the classification. Assets and liabilities held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and the fair value less cost to sell. Computer and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized once classified as held for sale.

Where the fair value less cost to sell of assets held for sale exceed the asset's carrying amounts, a gain shall be recognized for which not exceeding the cumulative loss previously recognized.

Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the statement of financial position as well as for prior period. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of comprehensive loss.

**Revenue Recognition**

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, which involves identifying the contracts with customers, identifying performance obligations in the contracts, determining transactions price, allocating transaction price to the performance obligation, and recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. Types of revenue consist of:

<u>Interest and Financial services</u>

NextBank provides traditional banking services in niche-focused businesses, including commercial and residential real estate and the origination and sale of loans, among other types of lending services. Revenues are categorized as interest income and financial services. NextBank is primarily responsible for fulfilling the services to clients, bears risks on its loan products, has discretion in establishing the price, hence it acts as principal, and recognizes revenues at the gross amount received for the services.

Interest is accrued as earned based upon the daily outstanding principal balance. The accrual of interest is generally discontinued at the time a loan is 90 days past due, unless the credit is well-secured and in the process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged- off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans placed on nonaccrual or charged-off is reversed against interest income. Interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Financial services are categorized as follows:

- Origination fee is recognized at point of time when the loan contract is mutually originated between a customer and the Company.

- Deposit account fees and other administrative fees are generally recognized upon completion of services (wire in/out processing, certain deposit condition met, etc.).

**Cost of Revenue**

Cost of revenue from finance and technology mainly consists of interest expense, loan related commissions, amortization of core banking software and technology facilities and infrastructures.

**Selling and Promotions Expense**

Selling and promotion expenses consist primarily of advertising and promotional expenses, expenses related to our participation in industry conferences, and public relations expenses; the expense is recognized when incurred.

**Stock Based Compensation**

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718, "Compensation – Stock Compensation", which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company recognizes compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each award and recognizes forfeitures as when they occur.

**Warrants** 

The Company accounts for the warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. Most of warrant agreements contain fixed strike prices and a fixed number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of the warrants at the fixed strike price, with certain provisions that may result in changes to the strike price in certain circumstances, subject to stockholder approval. All such warrant agreements are exercisable at the option of the holder and settled in shares of the Company. The warrants are qualified as equity-linked instrument embedded in a host instrument, whereby they do not meet definition of derivative; therefore, it is not required to separate the embedded component from its host.

The Company treats a modification of the terms or conditions of an equity award in accordance with ASC Topic 718-20-35-3, by treating the modification as an exchange of the original award for a new award. In substance, the entity repurchases the original instrument by issuing a new instrument of equal or greater value, incurring additional compensation cost for any incremental value. Incremental compensation cost is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified award determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718-20-35-3 over the fair value of the original award immediately before its terms are modified, measured based on the share price and other pertinent factors at that date.

**Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but it does provide guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity's own assumptions (unobservable inputs).

The hierarchy consists of three levels:

● Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

● Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets of liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

● Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the warrant derivative liabilities and embedded conversion option liabilities, if any.

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, investments in unconsolidated affiliates, other receivables, net, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, related parties, line of credit and certain other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

**Leases**

The Company utilizes operating leases for its offices. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's contractual obligation to make lease payments under the lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-to-use assets, non-current, and operating lease liabilities current and non-current captions in the consolidated balance sheets.

Operating lease right-to-use assets and liabilities are recognized on the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease agreements may contain periods of free rent or reduced rent, predetermined fixed increases in the minimum rent and renewal or termination options, all impacting the determination of the lease term and lease payments to be used in calculating the lease liability. Lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company uses the implicit rate in the lease when determinable. As most of the Company's leases do not have a determinable implicit rate, the Company uses a derived incremental borrowing rate based on borrowing options under its credit agreement. The Company applies a spread over treasury rates for the indicated term of the lease based on the information available on the commencement date of the lease.

**Segment Reporting**

 

Accounting Standards Codification 280-10 "Segment Reporting" established standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual consolidated financial statements and required selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. It also established standards for related disclosures about products, services, and geographic areas. Operating segments are defined as components of the enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

An operating segment component has the following characteristics:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. It engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same public entity).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Its operating results are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. Its discrete financial information is available.

As of November 30, 2022, the Company had two operating segments consisting of

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) NextMedia segment, consisting of:

- HotPlay Enterprise Ltd. and HotPlay (Thailand) Co., Ltd.,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) NextFinTech segment, consisting of:

- Next Fintech Holdings, Inc. (formerly Longroot Inc.)

- Longroot Limited

- Longroot Holding (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

- Longroot (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

- NextBank International, Inc.

The Company's chief operating decision makers are considered to be the Co-Chief Executive Officers. The chief operating decision makers allocate resources and assesses performance of the business and other activities at the single operating segment level.

As a result of the proposed strategic sale of Reinhart/Zappware and NextTrip, as of November 30, 2022, those entities were no longer treated as a division of the Company; accordingly, for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2022, the Company had two remaining reportable business segments: NextFinTech and NextMedia.

See Note 12 Business Segment Reporting for details on each segment unit.

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 "Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions". The FASB is issuing this Update (1) to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820.

Stakeholders asserted that the language in the illustrative example resulted in diversity in practice on whether the effects of a contractual restriction that prohibits the sale of an equity security should be considered in measuring that equity security's fair value. Some stakeholders apply a discount to the price of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction, whereas other stakeholders consider the application of a discount to be inappropriate under the principles of Topic 820.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance.

The Company is still evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on the consolidated financial statements.

***Note 2 - Going Concern***

As of November 30, 2022, and February 28, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $57.17 million and $39.17 million, respectively. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

We have limited financial resources. As of November 30, 2022, we have working capital of $3.53 million. Our monthly cash requirement is approximately $1.4 million. The monthly cash requirement decreased by approximately $0.4 million beginning May 1, 2022 as a result of the proposed sale of Reinhart/Zappware and NextTrip.

We will need to raise additional capital or borrow loans to support the on-going operations, increase market penetration of our products, expand the marketing and development of our technology driven products, repay debt obligations, provide capital expenditures for additional equipment and development costs, payment obligations, and systems for managing the business including covering other operating costs until our planned revenue streams from all businesses and products are fully implemented and begin to offset our operating costs. Our failure to obtain additional capital to finance our working capital needs on acceptable terms, or at all, would negatively impact our business, financial condition, and liquidity. We currently have limited resources to satisfy these obligations, and our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business and ability to continue as a going concern.

Management's plans with regard to this going concern are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Company plans to continue to raise funds with third parties by way of public or private offerings,

(ii) the Company is working aggressively to increase the viewership of its FinTech and gaming products by promoting it across other mediums;

(iii) the Company expects growth in revenue from interest and non-interest income through organic growth and new business initiatives in the finance and technology division;

(iv) the Company is seeking an additional funding with lower cost to refinance the existing loans; and

(v) the Company is tightening its spending on expenses, which is expected to help in the cost reduction of the operations.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to further implement its business plan and generate greater revenues. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

During the nine-month period ended November 30, 2022, the Company completed the fair value assessment of the net identifiable assets and liabilities assumed by an independent appraiser which primarily resulted in a decrease in goodwill due to the change in fair value of purchase consideration. During the year ended February 28, 2022, the purchase consideration of common stock was calculated based on $50 per share, according to the IFEB Exchange Agreement. Considering fair value of consideration paid, the share price of NXTP common stock has been adjusted to its closing price as of closing date of the acquisition on July 21, 2021 without any changes in number of shares issued. As a result, the change in purchase consideration were adjusted by $0.9 million to reflect the fair value as of July 21, 2021 by recognizing the adjustment in additional paid-in capital in consolidated statement of stockholders' equity.

In order to reflect the adjustment to the provisional value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of NextBank International (formerly IFEB) at the acquisition date, the adjustments were made as follows:

*Letter of Intent to Acquire Axion Shares*

On October 28, 2020, the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (as amended by the first amendment thereto dated March 10, 2021, the "Letter of Intent") with Radiant Ventures Limited, which manages Radiant VC1 Limited and Radiant PV 1 Limited, two stockholders of Axion Ventures, Inc. ("Axion"). As discussed below, the Company acquired approximately 33.85% of Axion (provided that such ownership of Axion has not been formally transferred to the Company to date) on November 16, 2020, pursuant to the Axion Exchange Agreement (as defined in Note 7, below).

Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, the Company agreed, subject to certain condition precedents, including regulatory approvals and the entry into material agreements with the sellers, to acquire approximately 12,000,000 shares of Axion, equal to 5.7% of Axion's outstanding shares, from certain of its stockholders for approximately $2,000,000, payable in a combination of stock and cash. In connection with our entry into the Letter of Intent, we paid the sellers a $500,000 non-refundable deposit towards the cash purchase price of the shares in or around October 2020 (representing 25% of such purchase price). We also issued the sellers 235,000 shares of Company common stock in March 2021, representing an additional 25% of the purchase price. Both payments are non-refundable. A final payment of 50% of the purchase price is due 10 days after the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") lifts a cease trade order on Axion's shares and is payable at the option of the sellers in cash or shares of the Company's common stock, based on a 20% discount to the Company's stock price at the time the election to take such final payment in shares is made, provided that such stock price valuation will not be less than $40.00 per share and not more than $60.00 per share. The Letter of Intent was to be terminated if the final payment had not been made by the earlier of June 30, 2021 and 15 days after the BCSC lifts the Axion no trade order; however, the parties have verbally agreed to extend such date. The purchase is also contingent on the sellers granting the Company a proxy to vote the shares of Axion to be purchased through closing. The purchase remains subject to the negotiation of, and entry into, a definitive purchase agreement with the sellers, as well as other closing conditions, which have not been entered into and/or which have not been completed, to date.

On August 11, 2022, the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "BCSC") announced the revocation order, however, the securities of Axion will remain suspended from trading on the TSX Venture Exchange pending the completion of a reinstatement application to the TSX Venture Exchange. The management has closely monitored Axion's trading status and will take further action once the stock resumes trading in an active market. As of November 30, 2022, total prepayment was $937,117 which is expected to be recovered in full.

*Letter of Intent of Potential acquisition of 100% of a Bank Holding Company* 

On November 1, 2021, the Company signed a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire 100% of the capital stock of a bank holding company which is the 100% owner of a community bank. In connection with the execution of the non-binding Letter of Intent, on November 10, 2021, the Company made a non-refundable deposit of $1,000,000 on behalf of itself and other parties to the acquisition (as discussed below), which shall be credited against the purchase price at closing, if completed. The acquisition, if completed, will be made with other parties, to be named subsequently, and it is expected that no individual party will acquire more than 24.9% of said bank holding company. There is no legal obligation between the parties with respect to the acquisition unless and until the parties enter into a definitive agreement with respect thereto. Closing of the transaction will be subject to regulatory approvals, amongst other things. The balance as of November 30, 2022 was in the amount of $1,000,000.

*<u>$7,657,024 Convertible Notes - Axion Debt Share Exchanges</u>*

On July 23, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (as amended from time to time, the "HotPlay Exchange Agreement" and the transactions contemplated therein, the "HotPlay Share Exchange") with HotPlay and the stockholders of HotPlay (the "HotPlay Stockholders"). The transactions contemplated by the HotPlay Exchange Agreement were subject to certain closing conditions, including, the approval of the listing of the combined company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market following the closing.

On November 12, 2020, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Share Exchange Agreement (as amended by the first amendment thereto dated January 6, 2021, the "Axion Exchange Agreement") with certain stockholders holding shares of Axion Ventures, Inc. ("Axion" and the "Axion Stockholders") and certain debt holders holding debt of Axion (the "Axion Creditors") (the "Axion Share Exchange," and collectively with the HotPlay Exchange Agreement, the "Exchange Agreements" and the transactions contemplated therein, the "Share Exchanges"). The transactions contemplated by the Axion Exchange Agreement closed on November 16, 2020.

Pursuant to the Axion Exchange Agreement, (a) the Axion Stockholders (including Cern One Limited ("Cern One")), exchanged ordinary shares of Axion equal to approximately 33.85% of the then outstanding common shares of Axion, in consideration for 10,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series B Preferred Stock"); and (b) the Axion Creditors exchanged debt of Axion in the aggregate amount of $7,657,024 (the "Axion Debt"), for (i) 3,828,500 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the "Series C Preferred Stock"); and (ii) a warrant, granted to Cern One, to purchase 95,712 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Creditor Warrants"), which is only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain events (described below). Although the Axion Share Exchange closed on November 16, 2020, the Company has yet to formally complete the transfer of the ownership of the Axion shares into its name, due to a trading suspension by the TSX Venture Exchange, which impacts Axion.

The closing of the HotPlay Exchange Agreement on June 30, 2021 triggered the automatic conversion of the Company's outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock of the Company. Specifically, effective June 30, 2021, the 10,000,000 shares of outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 3,828,500 shares of outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted into 370,885 and 191,425 shares of common stock of the Company, respectively, in accordance with the terms of such preferred stock (the "Preferred Conversion").

The Creditor Warrants had cashless exercise rights, an exercise price of $40.00 per share and, a term of two years, beginning on the Vesting Date (defined below). The Creditor Warrants were scheduled to vest on the earlier of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The date the Axion Debt is fully repaid by Axion, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the date that the Company obtains 51% or more of the voting control of, and economic rights to, Axion, provided that such vesting date must occur before November 16, 2021, or the Creditor Warrants will terminate (as applicable, the "Vesting Date"). All of the Creditor Warrants were granted to Cern One.

Because the vesting conditions had not been satisfied as of November 16, 2021, the warrants terminated automatically on such date pursuant to their terms. Accordingly, as of November 30, 2022, these warrants are no longer outstanding.

On August 20, 2021, our counsel sent a demand letter for payment to Axion Ventures Inc., but the Company has not received a response in related to the demand letter.

On September 1, 2021, the Company filed a claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia demanding payment of $7,657,024.

In November 2021, the Company commenced a new claim for the debt claimed to reflect the difference between what was owed and what the Company is claiming to avoid double-claiming.

In February 2022, the court was receptive to loans related evidence (e.g. loan agreements, bank statements, board resolutions, etc.), and determined that it will be further resolved together with other Axion issues in the next trial. The summary trial judge has advised that he wishes to take case management over this and several related proceedings. It is anticipated that the trial of this action would be reset for 12 weeks sometime in 2023 or early 2024, a new trial date has not been determined. Document and oral discovery are ongoing, which will be necessary for the parties to make full disclosure on all issues. During fiscal year 2022, the Company recorded an allowance for credit losses for the principal amounted to $3.1 million and for the accrued interest receivable amounted to $0.2 million.

As of November 30, 2022, the recoverable amount of Axion receivables net allowance for credit loss were $4.6 million.

<u>CIP – Software under development acquired from Go Game</u>

On June 30, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Go Game SPA") with David Ng, an individual (the "Seller"). Pursuant to the Go Game SPA, the Company agreed to acquire a 37% interest in the capital stock of Go Game Pte Ltd, a Singapore private limited company ("Go Game"), a mobile game publisher and technology company, representing an aggregate of 686,868 shares of Go Game's Class B Preferred shares (the "Initial Go Game Shares"). The Go Game SPA also includes an option whereby the Company can acquire additional shares of Go Game, as described in greater detail below. Pursuant to the Go Game SPA, the aggregate consideration to be paid for the Initial Go Game Shares is: (i) 6,100,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock (representing $6.1 million of value, based on an aggregate liquidation preference of $6.1 million), and (ii) $5 million in cash, with $1.25 million paid on June 30, 2021, $1.25 million payable on or before July 31, 2021, and $2.5 million payable on or before September 30, 2021.

Pursuant to the Go Game SPA, the Company was also granted an option (the "Go Game Option"), to purchase up to an additional 259,895 shares of Go Game's Class B Preferred shares from the Seller (the "Option Shares") (representing 14% of Go Game's outstanding Class B Preferred shares, or 51% with the Initial Go Game Shares). The Go Game Option is subject to the Seller's acquisition of the Option Shares subsequent to the date of the Go Game SPA. The Go Game Option is exercisable from time to time after the date that the shareholders of the Company have approved the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock and in connection with the Go Game Option (the "Approval Date"), and prior to January 1, 2022. The per share consideration due in connection with an exercise of the Go Game Option is equal to $70 million, divided by the then number of outstanding shares of Go Game ($37.71 per share at the time the agreement was entered into) (the "Call Option Price"). The Call Option Price is to be satisfied by the issuance of shares of Company common stock valued based on the greater of (a) $47.00 per share and (b) 85% of the average of the closing prices of the Company's common stock for the prior thirty days (the "30-Day Average"). The Seller agreed not to transfer the Option Shares from the date acquired through the exercise or expiration of the Go Game Option. Upon issuance of any shares of common stock upon exercise of the Go Game Option, the Seller agreed to enter into a lock-up agreement restricting any sales or transfers of any shares of common stock of the Company for a period of 18 months following the issuance date.

We agreed pursuant to the Go Game SPA, that upon our purchase of the Initial Go Game Shares, that we would appoint the Seller to the board of directors of the Company, and that we would continue to nominate the Seller as a board nominee for appointment on the board of directors at each subsequent shareholder meeting of the Company, subject to certain exceptions, until the earlier of (i) Seller's death; (ii) Seller's resignation from the board of directors; (iii) the date that Seller is no longer qualified to serve as a member of the board of directors; (iv) the date the board of directors, acting in good faith, determines that the continued appointment of Seller to the board of directors would violate the fiduciary duties of such members of the board of directors; (v) the third anniversary of the acquisition of the Initial Go Game Shares; and (vi) the date that the Seller holds less than 2 million shares of Company common stock (including shares of common stock issuable upon conversion shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by Seller).

On March 30, 2022, the Company, Go Game and the Seller entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") which amends and restates in its entirety the Go Game SPA disclosed previously whereby Go Game agreed to sell and assign to the Company, and the Company agreed to purchase and assume from Go Game substantially all the assets and certain liabilities (but only to the extent such liabilities arise solely from activities or events that occur after the closing date) related to the goPlay platform (the "Go Game Assets"), together with a perpetual license to the goPay payment gateway (the "goPay License").

As consideration for purchase of the Go Game Assets and the receipt of the goPay License, the Company agreed to pay $5,000,000 (the "Purchase Price") as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) A cash payment of $1,250,000, which was paid previously by the Company to Go Game/Seller following the execution of the Go Game SPA;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) A cash payment of $1,500,000 at closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) A cash payment of $2,250,000, which shall be payable monthly by the Company to Go Game with simple interest thereon at the rate of 12.0% per annum until March 31, 2023.

No stock consideration of Go Game or the Company is being exchanged, as was previously contemplated under the Go Game SPA.

In the event the Company defaults on its monthly cash payment obligations under (iii) above, the Company agrees that the Seller shall be given the absolute right to demand for the return by way of assigning, transferring, and delivering to Seller all of Purchaser's right, title, ownership and interest in certain games and source code for goPay (without taking away the perpetual licensing right).

For a period of six months following the closing, Go Game will provide transitional assistance to the Company to integrate the goPlay platform and associated game titles, together with the goPay payment gateway, at no additional charge.

The goPay License allows the Company to exploit the goPay payment gateway to enhance the products and service offerings of the Company. The goPay License does not allow the Company to exploit and sublicense the goPay technology as a stand-alone product.

Prior to the Closing (as defined below), Go Game was engaged in discussions with potential customers of the goPlay platform. At the Closing, the Company and Go Game entered into a revenue share agreement (the "Revenue Share Agreement"), pursuant to which Go Game shall refer such potential customers and any other potential customers to the Company, in exchange for a right to receive fifty percent (50%) of net revenues attributable to such sales.

In addition, the Company and the Seller entered into a restrictive covenant agreement (the "Restrictive Covenant Agreement"), whereby Seller will agree to refrain from competing with the Company and soliciting the Company's employees at the time of the closing and for a period of time thereafter in order to protect the Company's legitimate business interests and goodwill in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement.

The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Closing") occurred on April 4, 2022, following the execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement on March 30, 2022. The acquired asset had a balance, as of November 30, 2022, in the amount $5,000,000 presented as intangible asset under development as it needed further development to align with its business use and purpose.

*<u>Note Purchase Agreements: Streeterville Capital</u>*

On November 23, 2020, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "November 2020 Note Purchase Agreement") with Streeterville Capital, LLC ("Streeterville"), pursuant to which the Company sold Streeterville a Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $5,520,000 (the "November 2020 Streeterville Note"). Streeterville paid consideration of an initial cash purchase price of $3,500,000 for the note and issued the Company a promissory note in the amount of $1,500,000 (the "November 2020 Investor Note"). The associated debt issuance costs of the note were $370,000 for total amount due $3,870,000. In addition to the $370,000 of debt issuance costs, the Company paid $245,000 for advisory fees, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $3,255,000.

The November 2020 Streeterville Note bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum and was scheduled to mature 12 months after the date of the note (i.e., on November 23, 2021). From time to time, beginning 6 months after issuance, Streeterville had the right to redeem a portion of the November 2020 Streeterville Note, not to exceed $0.8 million if the November 2020 Investor Note had not been funded and $1.25 million if the November 2020 Investor Note had been funded. In the event we did not pay the amount of any requested redemption within three trading days, an amount equal to 25% of such redemption amount was to be added to the outstanding balance of the November 2020 Streeterville Note. Under certain circumstances the Company could defer the redemption payments up to three times, for a duration of 30 days each, provided that upon each such deferral the outstanding balance of the November 2020 Streeterville Note would increase by 2%. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the November 2020 Streeterville Note, the Company had the right to prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the November 2020 Streeterville Note at any time subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 10% of the amount of the outstanding balance to be prepaid. For so long as the November 2020 Streeterville Note remained outstanding, the Company agreed to pay to Streeterville 20% of the gross proceeds that the Company received from the sale of any of its common stock or preferred stock, which payments were to be applied towards, and would reduce, the outstanding balance of the November 2020 Streeterville Note, which percentage was to increases to 30% upon the occurrence of, and continuance of, an event of default under the November 2020 Streeterville Note (each an "Equity Payment"). Each time that we failed to pay an Equity Payment, the outstanding balance of the November 2020 Streeterville Note would automatically increase by 10%. Additionally, in the event we were to fail to timely pay any such Equity Payment, Streeterville had the right to seek an injunction which would prevent us from issuing common or preferred stock until or unless we paid such Equity Payment.

The November 2020 Streeterville Note provided that if any of the following events had not occurred on or before April 30, 2021, the then outstanding balance of the note (including accrued and unpaid interest) would increase by an amount equal to 25% of the then-current outstanding balance thereof (the "April 2021 Note Increase"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) HotPlay must have become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) during the period beginning on July 21, 2020, and ending on the date that the HotPlay Share Exchange is consummated, HotPlay must have raised at least $15,000,000 in cash through equity investments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) upon consummation of the HotPlay Share Exchange, all outstanding debt owed by the Company to HotPlay must have either been forgiven by HotPlay or converted into the Company's common stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) HotPlay must have become a co-borrower on the November 2020 Streeterville Note; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) the Company must have paid off all outstanding debt obligations to the Donald P. Monaco Insurance Trust and National Bank of Commerce, in full (collectively, the "November 2020 Note Transaction Conditions").

Pursuant to the November 2020 Streeterville Note, we provided Streeterville a right of first refusal to purchase any promissory note, debenture or other debt instrument which we proposed to sell, other than sales to officers or directors of the Company and/or sales to the government. Each time, if ever, that we provided Streeterville such right, and Streeterville did not exercise such right to provide such funding, the outstanding balance of the November 2020 Streeterville Note would increase by 3%. Each time, if ever, that we failed to comply with the terms of the right of first refusal, the outstanding balance of the November 2020 Streeterville Note would increase by 10%. Additionally, upon each major default described in the November 2020 Streeterville Note (i.e., the failure to pay amounts under the November 2020 Streeterville Note when due or to observe any covenant under the November 2020 Note Purchase Agreement (other than the requirement to make Equity Payments)) the outstanding balance of the November 2020 Streeterville Note would automatically increase by 15%, and for each other default, the outstanding balance of the November 2020 Streeterville Note would automatically increase by 5%, provided such increase could only occur three times each as to major defaults and minor defaults, and that such aggregate increase could not exceed 30% of the balance of the Streeterville Note immediately prior to the first event of default.

In connection with the November 2020 Note Purchase Agreement and the November 2020 Streeterville Note, the Company entered into a Security Agreement with Streeterville (the "Security Agreement"), pursuant to which the obligations of the Company were secured by substantially all the assets of the Company, subject to a priority lien and security interest in the collateral of the Company.

The November 2020 Investor Note, in the principal amount of $1,500,000, evidenced the amount payable by Streeterville to the Company as partial consideration for the acquisition by the Company of the November 2020 Streeterville Note. The November 2020 Investor Note accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable in full on November 23, 2021, subject to a 30-day extension exercisable at the option of Streeterville and could be prepaid at any time. The amount of the Investor Note has been offset against the amount of the November 2020 Streeterville Note in the balance sheet as of February 28, 2021, as both notes have substantially similar terms, and the Investor Note was provided in consideration for the acquisition of a portion of the November 2020 Streeterville Note. The November 2020 Investor Note was subsequently funded in full in January 2021.

On March 22, 2021, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement dated March 23, 2021 (the "March 2021 Note Purchase Agreement") with Streeterville, pursuant to which the Company sold Streeterville a Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $9,370,000 (the "March 2021 Streeterville Note"). Streeterville paid consideration of (a) $7,000,000 in cash; and (b) issued the Company a promissory note in the amount of $1,500,000 (the "March 2021 Investor Note"), in consideration for the March 2021 Streeterville Note, which included an original issue discount of $850,000 (the "OID") and reimbursement of Streeterville's transaction expenses of $20,000. A total of $700,000 of the OID was fully earned upon issuance and the remaining $150,000 was not fully earned until the March 2021 Investor Note was fully-funded by Streeterville, which occurred on May 26, 2021.

The March 2021 Streeterville Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and matures 12 months after its issuance date (i.e., on March 23, 2022). From time to time, beginning six months after issuance, Streeterville may redeem a portion of the March 2021 Streeterville Note, not to exceed $2.125 million. In the event we do not pay the amount of any requested redemption within three trading days, an amount equal to 25% of such redemption amount is added to the outstanding balance of the March 2021 Streeterville Note. Under certain circumstances, the Company may defer the redemption payments up to three times, for 30 days each, provided that upon each such deferral the outstanding balance of the March 2021 Streeterville Note is increased by 2%. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the March 2021 Streeterville Note, the Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the March 2021 Streeterville Note at any time subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 10% of the amount of the outstanding balance to be prepaid. For so long as the March 2021 Streeterville Note remains outstanding, the Company has agreed to pay to Streeterville 20% of the gross proceeds that the Company receives from the sale of any of its common stock or preferred stock, which payments will be applied towards and will reduce the outstanding balance of the March 2021 Streeterville Note, which percentage increases to 30% upon the occurrence of, and continuance of, an event of default under the March 2021 Streeterville Note (each an "Equity Payment"). Each time that we fail to pay an Equity Payment, the outstanding balance of the March 2021 Streeterville Note automatically increases by 10%. Additionally, in the event we fail to timely pay any such Equity Payment, Streeterville May seek an injunction which would prevent us from issuing common or preferred stock until or unless we pay such Equity Payment.

The March 2021 Streeterville Note provides that if any of the following events have not occurred on or before June 30, 2021, the then outstanding balance of the note (including accrued and unpaid interest) increases by an amount equal to 25% of the then-current outstanding balance thereof: (a) HotPlay must have become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; (b) during the period beginning on July 21, 2020, and ending on the date that the HotPlay Share Exchange is consummated, HotPlay must have raised at least $15,000,000 in cash or debt through equity investments (which has been completed); (c) upon consummation of the HotPlay Share Exchange, all outstanding debt owed by the Company to HotPlay must have either been forgiven by HotPlay or converted into the Company's common stock; and (d) HotPlay must have become a co-borrower on the March 2021 Streeterville Note (collectively, the "March 2021 Note Transaction Conditions").

The March 2021 Note Purchase Agreement required that we complete the purchase of the Reinhart (the "Reinhart Interest"), within 10 days of the date of the sale of the March 2021 Streeterville Note, and that the Company pledge the Reinhart Interest to Streeterville pursuant to a pledge agreement thereafter, both of which were timely completed.

Also on May 26, 2021, Streeterville funded the March 2021 Investor Note (in the amount of $1.5 million) in full.

We made a required Equity Payment of $1,857,250 to Streeterville under the March 2021 Streeterville Note on May 26, 2021, with funds raised through a May 2021 underwritten offering, which represented approximately 20% of the funds raised in such offering.

We failed to timely meet the November 2020 Note Transaction Conditions; however, on June 1, 2021, Streeterville agreed to defer 50% of the April 2021 Note Increase which was otherwise to occur due to the Company's failure to timely meet all of the November 2020 Note Transaction Conditions. As such, a total of $506,085 was capitalized into the outstanding balance of the November 2020 Streeterville Note effective as of April 30, 2021, and the remaining $506,085 of the April 2021 Note Increase would only be added to the balance of the November 2020 Streeterville Note if the Company failed to meet the November 2020 Transaction Conditions by June 30, 2021. Separately, if the Company did not meet the March 2021 Note Transaction Conditions by June 30, 2021, the March 2021 Streeterville Note would be subject to the June 2021 Note Increase. The Company completed the acquisition of HotPlay effective as of June 30, 2021, and as such the November 2020 Transaction Conditions and the March 2021 Note Transaction Conditions were satisfied.

On June 22, 2021, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Streeterville, pursuant to which Streeterville exchanged $600,000 of a June 2021 requested redemption of $1.25 million under the November 2020 Streeterville Note (which amount was partitioned into a separate promissory note) for 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

On July 21, 2021, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Streeterville, whereby Streeterville exchanged $400,000 owed under a November 2020 promissory note (which amount was partitioned into a separate promissory note) for 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Streeterville, whereby Streeterville exchanged $270,000 owed under a November 2020 promissory note (which amount was partitioned into a separate promissory note) for 135,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

On October 22, 2021, the Company entered into the Note Purchase Agreement (the "October 2021 Note Purchase Agreement") with Streeterville, pursuant to which the Company sold Streeterville a Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $1,665,000 (the "October 2021 Streeterville Note"). Streeterville paid consideration of $1,500,000, which represents the original principal amount less a $150,000 original issue discount, which was fully earned upon issuance, and a total of $15,000 to cover Streeterville's professional fees and transaction expenses.

The October 2021 Streeterville Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and matures 12 months after its issuance date (i.e., on October 22, 2022). From time to time, beginning six months after issuance, Streeterville may redeem any portion of the October 2021 Streeterville Note, up to a maximum amount of $375,000 per month. In the event the Company fails to pay the amount of any requested redemption within three trading days, an amount equal to 25% of such redemption amount is added to the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note. Under certain circumstances, the Company may defer the redemption payments up to three times, for 30 days each, provided that upon each such deferral, the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note is increased by 2%. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the October 2021 Streeterville Note, the Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note at any time subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 10% of the amount of the outstanding balance to be prepaid. For so long as the October 2021 Streeterville Note remains outstanding, the Company has agreed to pay to Streeterville 20% of the gross proceeds that the Company receives from the sale of any of its common stock or preferred stock within ten days of receiving such amount, which payments will be applied towards and will reduce the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note, which percentage increases to 30% upon the occurrence of, and continuance of, an event of default under the October 2021 Streeterville Note (each an "Equity Payment"). Each time that the Company fails to pay an Equity Payment, the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note automatically increases by 10%. Additionally, in the event the Company fails to timely pay any such Equity Payment, Streeterville may seek an injunction which would prevent the Company from issuing common or preferred stock until or unless the Company paid all past-due Equity Payments.

The October 2021 Streeterville Note provides that by November 21, 2021 (the "Deadline"), HotPlay must become a co-borrower on (a) the October 2021 Streeterville Note, (b) the November 2020 Streeterville Note, and (c) and the March 2021 Streeterville Note (collectively, the "2020-2021 Streeterville Notes"). If HotPlay has not become a co-borrower on the 2020-2021 Streeterville Notes by the Deadline, the outstanding balance on the October 2021 Streeterville Note automatically increases by an amount equal to 25% of the then-current outstanding balance, provided such failure is not deemed an event of default under the October 2021 Streeterville Note.

Pursuant to the October 2021 Streeterville Note, the Company provided Streeterville a right of first refusal to purchase any promissory note, debenture, or other debt instruments which the Company proposes to sell, other than sales to officers or directors of the Company and/or sales to the government. Each time, if ever, that the Company provides Streeterville such right, and Streeterville does not exercise such right to provide such funding, the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note increases by 3%, unless the proceeds from such sale(s) are used to repay the October 2021 Streeterville Note in full. Each time, if ever, that the Company fails to comply with the terms of the right of first refusal, the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note increases by 10%. Additionally, upon each major default described in the October 2021 Streeterville Note (i.e., the failure to pay amounts under the October 2021 Streeterville Note when due or to observe any covenant under the Note Purchase Agreement (other than the requirement to make Equity Payments)), the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note may be increased, at Streeterville's option, by 15%, and for each other default, the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note may be increased, at Streeterville's option, by 5%, provided such increase can only occur three times each as to major defaults and minor defaults, and that such aggregate increase cannot exceed 30% of the balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note immediately prior to the first event of default.

The October 2021 Note Purchase Agreement and the October 2021 Streeterville Note contain customary events of default, including if the Company undertakes a fundamental transaction (including consolidations, mergers, and certain changes in control of the Company), without Streeterville's prior written consent. As described in the October 2021 Streeterville Note, upon the occurrence of certain events of default (mainly our entry into bankruptcy), the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note will become automatically due and payable. Upon the occurrence of other events of default, Streeterville may declare the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note immediately due and payable at such time or at any time thereafter. After the occurrence of an event of default (and upon written notice from Streeterville), interest on the October 2021 Streeterville Note will accrue at a rate of 22% per annum, or if lesser, the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. The October 2021 Note Purchase Agreement prohibits Streeterville from shorting our stock through the period that Streeterville holds the October 2021 Streeterville Note.

On November 3, 2021, the Company closed a registered direct offering of its securities, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $30 million. This offering triggered the provisions of the 2020-2021 Streeterville Notes requiring the Company to pay to Streeterville 20% of the gross proceeds that the Company receives from the sale of any of its common stock or preferred stock within ten days of receiving such amount, which payments must be applied towards and reduce the outstanding balance of each of the outstanding Streeterville Notes; however, the condition to pay 20% of the gross proceeds from the sale of any stock were negotiated with the lender and waived for the October 2021 Streeterville Note in November 2021.

On November 4, 2021, the Company completely paid off the November 2020 Streeterville Note in the amount of $3,100,807 and paid down the outstanding balance of the March 2021 Streeterville Note in the amount of $6,000,000.

As consideration for such agreement, the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Note was increased by $87,639.33 (the "Standstill Fee"); as a result, the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Note as of April 29, 2022 was $1,840,912.84 (including outstanding interest). Subsequently on September 22, 2022, the Company elected the redemption deferral option which added $38,331.27 to the principal for a total outstanding principal balance of $1,790,971 as of the same date.

 

On May 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the "May 2022 Note Purchase Agreement") with Streeterville, pursuant to which the Company sold Streeterville a Secured Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $2,765,000 (the "May 2022 Streeterville Note"). Streeterville paid consideration of $2,500,000, which represents the original principal amount less a $250,000 OID, which was fully earned upon issuance, and a total of $15,000 to cover Streeterville's professional fees and transaction expenses.

The May 2022 Streeterville Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and matures 12 months after its issuance date (i.e., on May 5, 2023). From time to time, beginning six months after issuance, Streeterville may redeem any portion of the May 2022 Streeterville Note, up to a maximum amount of $625,000 per month. In the event the Company fails to pay the amount of any requested redemption within three trading days, an amount equal to 25% of such redemption amount is added to the outstanding balance of the May 2022 Streeterville Note. Under certain circumstances, the Company may defer the redemption payments up to three times, for 30 days each, provided that upon each such deferral, the outstanding balance of the May 2022 Streeterville Note is increased by 2%.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the May 2022 Streeterville Note, the Company may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance of the May 2022 Streeterville Note on or before the date that is 6 months from the Effective Date subject to a prepayment penalty equal to 5% of the amount of the outstanding balance, and after 6 months from the Effective Date will be subject to 10%. For so long as the May 2022 Streeterville Note remains outstanding, the Company has agreed to pay to Streeterville 20% of the gross proceeds that the Company receives from the sale of any of its common stock or preferred stock within ten days of receiving such amount, which payments will be applied towards and will reduce the outstanding balance of the May 2022 Streeterville Note. Each time that the Company fails to pay an Equity Payment, the outstanding balance of the May 2022 Streeterville Note automatically increases by 10%. Additionally, in the event the Company fails to timely pay any such Equity Payment, Streeterville may seek an injunction which would prevent the Company from issuing common or preferred stock until or unless the Company paid all past-due Equity Payments.

Additionally, upon each major default described in the May 2022 Streeterville Note (including, without limitation, the failure to pay amounts under the May 2022 Streeterville Note when due or to observe any covenant under the May 2022 Note Purchase Agreement (other than the requirement to make Equity Payments)), the outstanding balance of the May 2022 Streeterville Note may be increased, at Streeterville's option, by 15%, and for each other default, the outstanding balance of the May 2022 Streeterville Note may be increased, at Streeterville's option, by 5%, provided such increase can only occur three times each as to major defaults and minor defaults, and that such aggregate increase cannot exceed 30% of the balance of the May 2022 Streeterville Note immediately prior to the first event of default.

The May 2022 Note Purchase Agreement and the May 2022 Streeterville Note contain customary events of default, including if the Company undertakes a fundamental transaction (including consolidations, mergers, and certain changes in control of the Company), without Streeterville's prior written consent. Pursuant to the May 2022 Streeterville Note, upon the occurrence of certain events of default (mainly our entry into bankruptcy), the outstanding balance of the May 2022 Streeterville Note will become automatically due and payable. Upon the occurrence of other events of default, Streeterville may declare the outstanding balance of the May 2022 Streeterville Note immediately due and payable at such time or at any time thereafter. After the occurrence of an event of default (and upon written notice from Streeterville), interest on the May 2022 Streeterville Note will accrue at a rate of 22% per annum, or if lesser, the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. The May 2022 Note Purchase Agreement prohibits Streeterville from shorting our stock through the period that Streeterville holds the May 2022 Streeterville Note.

The May 2022 Note Purchase Agreement also provides for cross-indemnification by the parties in the event that they incur loss or damage related to, among other things, a breach of applicable representations, warranties, or covenants under the May 2022 Note Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the May 2022 Note Purchase Agreement and the May 2022 Streeterville Note, the Company entered into a Security Agreement with Streeterville, pursuant to which the obligations of the Company are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

On June 2, 2022, the Company entered into a Global Amendment to satisfy the requirement that HotPlay become a co-borrower on the October 2021 Streeterville Note and the May 2022 Streeterville Note and jointly and severally assume all of the obligations and duties of the Company under those notes. As a result, all references to "Borrower" or the "Company" in such notes now jointly refer to HotPlay and NextPlay. Streeterville also agreed to waive its right to enforce an increase in the balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note due to the Company's failure to add HotPlay as a co-borrower on the October 2021 Streeterville Note within the prescribed period of time to do so. The Global Amendment does not alter any other terms of the notes.

As of November 30, 2022, the remaining balances of the outstanding Streeterville notes were as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i) The October 2021 Note: principal balance of $1,752,639, accrued interest of $152,778 and accumulated unamortized debt issuance cost of $202,292.

For the purposes of the following sentence: "Conversion Rate" equals 0.44 shares of Company common stock for each share of Series D Preferred Stock converted, which equals (i) the Liquidation Preference ($1.00 per share of Series D Preferred Stock), divided by (ii) $45.60, the average of the closing sales prices for the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market for the 30 days prior to July 15, 2021, rounded to the nearest hundredths place, subject to equitable adjustment for stock splits and combinations.

***Common Stock***

Effective January 6, 2023, the Company implemented a reverse stock split of the Company's authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at a ratio of 1-for-20 (the "Reverse Split"). In order to implement the Reverse Split, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the "Certificate of Change") to effectuate the Reverse Split in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") Section 78.209. The Company is effecting the Reverse Split to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

In connection with the reverse stock split, the number of authorized shares of common stock and the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock are proportionally reduced without change in par value per share of $0.00001. Also on the Effective Date, all options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company that are outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split will be adjusted by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock into which the options, warrants and other convertible securities are exercisable or convertible by 20, and multiplying the exercise or conversion price thereof by 20, all in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such options, warrants and other convertible securities and subject to rounding to the nearest whole share. Accordingly, all historical per share data, number of shares outstanding and other common stock equivalents for the periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split.

During the nine-months ended November 30, 2022, the following shares of common stock were issued:

On January 28, 2022, the Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting") in a virtual format. Stockholders did not approve an amendment to the exercise price provisions of those warrants (the "Warrants") issued in connection with a registered direct offering of the Company's securities pursuant to that Stock Purchase Agreement entered into by and among the Company and certain investors on November 1, 2021, and specifically to remove the $39.40 floor price (the "Floor Price") of the Warrants such that the exercise price of the Warrants may be reduced below the Floor Price in the event that the Company issues or enters into any agreement to issue securities for consideration less than the then current exercise price of the warrants (the "Warrant Amendment").

On April 22, 2022, the Company held its 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") in a virtual format, at which Annual Meeting the Warrant Amendment was again presented to the Company's stockholders for approval, amongst other things. Stockholders did not approve the Warrant Amendment at the Annual Meeting.

The Company intends to continue to comply with the requirements related to stockholder approval of the Warrant Amendment, as set forth in the relevant transaction documents.

On November 30, 2022, there were warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 721,546 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $39.40 and weighted average remaining life of 3.97 years.

As discussed above, on November 1, 2021, the Company issued Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 712,026 shares of Company common stock in connection with the Offering. Each whole warrant sold in the Offering will be exercisable for one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $39.40 per share (the "Initial Exercise Price"), the closing sales price of the Company's common stock on October 29, 2021 (the last trading day prior to the date that the Purchase Agreement was entered into). The Warrants may be exercised commencing six months after the issuance date (the "Initial Exercise Date") and terminating on the fifth anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date. The Warrants are exercisable for cash; provided, however that they may be exercised on a cashless exercise basis if, at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the issuance or resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The exercise of the Warrants will be subject to a beneficial ownership limitation, which will prohibit the exercise thereof, if upon such exercise the holder of the Warrants, its affiliates and any other persons or entities acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder's affiliates would hold 4.99% (or, upon election of a purchaser prior to the issuance of any shares, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant held by the applicable holder, provided that the holders may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation (up to a maximum of 9.99%) upon 61 days advance notice to the Company, which 61 day period cannot be waived.

The Warrants also include certain anti-dilution rights, which provide that if at any time the Warrants are outstanding, the Company issues or enters into any agreement to issue, or is deemed to have issued or entered into an agreement to issue (which includes the issuance of securities convertible or exercisable for shares of Common Stock), securities for consideration less than the then current exercise price of the Warrants, the exercise price of such Warrants will be automatically reduced to the lowest price per share of consideration provided or deemed to have been provided for such securities; provided, however, that unless and until the Company has received stockholder approval to reduce the exercise price of the Warrants below $39.40 per share (the "Floor Price"), no such adjustment to the exercise price may be made. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain stockholder approval within 90 days from the date of the prospectus supplement to remove the Floor Price of the Warrants. In the event that such stockholder approval is not obtained within 90 days of the date of the prospectus supplement, the Company has agreed to hold a special meeting of its stockholders every three months thereafter, for so long as the Warrants remain outstanding, to obtain such stockholder approval.

If the Company fails for any reason to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the valid exercise of the Warrants, subject to its receipt of a valid exercise notice and the aggregate exercise price, by the time period set forth in the Warrants, the Company will be required to pay the applicable holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of shares subject to such exercise (as calculated in the Warrant), $10 per trading day (increasing to $20 per trading day on the third trading day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each trading day that such shares are not delivered. The Warrants also include customary buy-in rights in the event the Company fails to deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise thereof within the time periods set forth in the Warrant.

As of November 30, 2022, none of the Warrants have been exercised by the holders thereof.

***Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies***

The Company entered into an office lease in Sunrise, Florida where we leased approximately 5,279 square feet of office space at 1560 Sawgrass Corporate Parkway, Suite 130, Sunrise, Florida 33323.

**Legal Matters**

The Company is involved, from time to time, in litigation, other legal claims and proceedings involving matters associated with or incidental to our business, including, among other things, matters involving breach of contract claims, intellectual property, employment issues, and other related claims and vendor matters. The Company believes that the resolution of currently pending matters could individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, assessment of the current litigation or other legal claims could change considering the discovery of facts not presently known to the Company or by judges, juries or other finders of fact, which are not in accord with management's evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.

*IDS Settlement*

On August 15, 2019, the Company entered into an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement with IDS Inc. ("IDS" and the "IP Purchase Agreement"). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company purchased certain proprietary technology from IDS for the reservation and booking of air travel, hotel accommodations, car rentals, and ancillary products, services, and amenities, integration of the same with the providers of such products and services, associated functions, including website addresses, patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets relating thereto, and all goodwill associated therewith (collectively, the "IP Assets"). In consideration for the purchase, the Company issued IDS 98,400 restricted shares of Company common stock (the "IDS Shares") valued at $50.00 per share, or $4,920,000 in the aggregate.

On April 27, 2020, the Company filed a verified complaint for injunctive relief against IDS and TD Assets Holding, LLC ("TD Asset"), Navarro McKown, Aaron McKown and Ari Daniels, which parties are affiliated with IDS, in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida (Case No. CACE-20-007088). Pursuant to the complaint, the Company alleged causes of action against the defendants, including IDS, based on among other things, fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, aiding and abetting fraud, rescission, and breach of contract, and sought a temporary and permanent injunction against the defendants, requiring such persons to return the 98,400 IDS Shares issued pursuant to the terms of the IP Purchase Agreement and preventing such persons from selling or transferring any IDS Shares, sought damages from the defendants, rescission of the IP Purchase Agreement, attorneys fees and other amounts. The defendants subsequently filed various counterclaims against the Company.

On April 29, 2020, the Company filed a Verified Motion for Temporary Injunction (the "Injunction Motion"). Defendants IDS, TD Assets, and Ari Daniels filed an answer, affirmative defenses, and counterclaims (the "Answer and Counterclaim"). The Answer and Counterclaim included alleged breach of contract and tort claims against the Company. On September 17, 2020, the Company moved to strike the affirmative defenses and dismiss the counterclaims. On October 15, 2020, defendants IDS, TD Assets, and Ari Daniels filed an amended Answer and Counterclaim, including alleged breach of contract, tort, and federal securities claims against the Company, Mr. William Kerby, our Co-Chief Executive Officer and an employee of the Company.

On July 27, 2020, the Company entered into a confidential settlement agreement with certain of the defendants in the IDS matter, Navarro Hernandez, P.L., Aaron M. McKown, and Jeffery S. Bailey. The settlement provided for mutual releases of the parties and amounts payable from such parties to the Company in four tranches, in consideration for such settlement, of which all such payments have been timely paid pursuant to the terms of the settlement.

The remaining parties to the litigation subsequently attempted to mediate their claims pursuant to a court ordered mediation in February 2021.

Effective on May 18, 2021, the Company, IDS, TD Asset and Ari Daniels, the principal of IDS, entered into an Amendment to Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (the "IP Purchase Amendment"). Pursuant to the IP Purchase Agreement, the parties amended the IP Purchase Agreement, with the Company agreeing to make a payment to IDS in the amount of $2,850,000 (the "Payment"), payable by way of an initial payment of $500,000, and twelve monthly payments of approximately $195,833 (collectively, the "Required Payments"), with such monthly payments beginning 30 days after the initial payment, which is due seven days after the date of the IP Purchase Amendment. Such monthly payments may be pre-paid at any time without penalty. At the Company's option, any portion of the amount due may be paid to IDS by a party separate from the Company (either a related party of the Company or a third-party) (a "Paying Party"), for the benefit of the Company, which shall be treated for all purposes as a payment by the Company. As consideration for such Paying Party making such payment on behalf of the Company, IDS agreed to transfer the Paying Party a number of the IDS Shares equal to the amount of the cash payment(s) made by a Paying Party multiplied by 0.03444 as to the first $500,000 payment, and 0.03455 as to the monthly payments (as applicable, the "Applicable Portion" of the IDS Shares). Upon each payment of amounts due to IDS pursuant to the terms of the IP Agreement Amendment as discussed above by the Company (instead of a Paying Party), IDS agreed to transfer the portion of the IDS Shares equal to the Applicable Portion, to the Company.

Pursuant to the IP Purchase Amendment, on May 19, 2021, the Company made the initial payment of $500,000. Thereafter, the first 17,220 shares of common stock repurchased by the Company were returned to treasury and cancelled.

On September 27, 2021, the Court entered the Agreed Order. The Court ordered that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Company resume the monthly payment on or before September 28, 2021 (which payment has not been made due to failure of IDS to provide required documents);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) $24,583.33 shall be paid monthly to one of IDS's counsel and the balance of each payment shall be paid to the IDS Defendants;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) $20,000 of the 12<sup>th</sup>monthly payments shall be withheld pending further order of the court; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) NextPlay (formerly Monaker) was awarded its fees and costs associated with the filing of the Motion.

The entire IDS Settlement, agreements, and amendment are part of the proposed sale of NextTrip, whereby upon closing of the proposed transaction, the IDS settlement will no longer be a responsibility of the Company; provided, however, that, if the Company fails to make certain required installment payments to NextTrip within five (5) business days of being due, such IDS payment obligations will revert back to the Company. As of November 30, 2022, the Company failed to make such payments and is in progress of mediation.

 

*Litigation between Axion and NextPlay*

On January 15, 2021, Axion filed a civil claim in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (Action No. S-209245), against J. Todd Bonner, Chairman of the Company's board of directors, Nithinan Boonyawattanapisut, our Co-Chief Executive Officer and director, the Company, William Kerby, our Co-Chief Executive Officer, Cern One Limited, Red Anchor Trading Corp., CC Asia Pacific Ventures Ltd., HotPlay, HotPlay (Thailand) Ltd., Next Fintech Holdings, Inc. (formerly Longroot, Inc.). and certain other parties. The claim alleges that Mr. Bonner and his wife, Ms. Boonyawattanapisut, used their positions as directors and officers of Axion and certain of its subsidiaries, together with the other defendants, to unlawfully take ownership of Axion's subsidiaries and assets, including its intellectual property. Axion's claim includes causes of action for conspiracy and fraud; theft of Axion intellectual property and ownership of Longroot; an investor scheme; breaches of fiduciary duty by Mr. Bonner and Ms. Boonyawattanapisut and others; negligence; knowing assistance of breach of fiduciary duty; collective trust; knowing receipt of trust property; knowing assistance in dishonest conduct; unjust enrichment; and breach of honest performance. The claim seeks general and special damages for conspiracy, damages for breaches of fiduciary duties, accountings and repayments of amounts alleged improperly paid, including to the Company, interim, interlocutory and permanent injunctions, rescission of the issuance of shares of Longroot Cayman; restitution; the return of Axion's intellectual property; and other accountings, damages, punitive damages, interest and special costs.

On April 9, 2021, the Company, on behalf of itself, Mr. Kerby and Next Fintech Holdings, Inc. (formerly Longroot, Inc.), filed a response to Axion's claim whereby all such parties disputed Axion's claims and argued all such transactions involving the Company, Mr. Kerby and Next Fintech which are the subject of Axion's claims were legitimate and pleading various other defenses. The Company, Mr. Kerby and Next Fintech dispute Axion's claims and continue to vigorously defend themselves against the allegations made.

The lawsuit states that J. Todd Bonner, Nithinan 'Jess' Boonyawattanapisut, Cern One Limited, and Red Anchor Trading Corp. made loans totaling USD $9,141,372 to the defendants at various times between March 2018 and June 2020. Mr. Bonner is the Co-Chairman of NextPlay, and a past CEO and Director of Axion. His wife, Ms. Boonyawattanapisut, is the Co-CEO of NextPlay. On or about July 21, 2020, the Company and the lenders entered into a share exchange agreement whereby the lenders transferred rights to repayment of USD $7,657,023 of the debt owed by defendants plus interest to the Company, in exchange for Company stock or warrants. On or about August 23, 2021, counsel for NextPlay demanded repayment of the debts owed by the defendants, and defendants have not paid any portion of the amounts due.

On September 1, 2021, the Company filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (Action No. S-217835) under the Canadian Foreign Money Claims Act (R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 155). The defendants are Axion; Axion Interactive Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Axion; and Ying Pei Digital Technology (Shanghai) Company Ltd., a Chinese wholly-owned subsidiary of Axion. NextPlay owns approximately 33.85% of the outstanding shares of Axion.

The Company alleges debts that the defendants refuse to pay totaling USD $7,657,023, under various promissory notes and loan agreements acquired by the Company in July 2020. The Company also seeks interest on the past-due amounts and costs associated with collection.

In November 2021, the Company commenced a new claim for the debt claimed to reflect the difference between what was owed and what the Company is claiming to avoid double-claiming.

In February 2022, the court was receptive to loans related evidence (e.g. loan agreements, bank statements, board resolutions, etc.), and that it will be further resolved together with other Axion issues in the next trial. The summary trial judge has advised that he wishes to take case management over this and several related proceedings, It is anticipated that the trial of this action would be reset for 12 weeks sometime in 2023 or early 2024, a new trial date has not been determined. Document and oral discovery are ongoing, which will be necessary for the parties to make full disclosure on all issues.

As of November 30, 2022, there has been no significant update in the court proceedings.

***Note 12 – Business Segment Reporting***

Accounting Standards Codification 280-10 "Segment Reporting" established standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual consolidated financial statements and required selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. It also established standards for related disclosures about products, services, and geographic areas. Operating segments are defined as components of the enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

As of November 30, 2022, the Company has two operating segments consisting of (i) the NextMedia Division, which consists of HotPlay, and (ii) the NextFinTech Division, which consists of Longroot and NextBank. The Company's chief operating decision makers are considered to be the Co-Chief Executive Officers. The chief operating decision makers allocate resources and assesses performance of the business and other activities at the single operating segment level. At the reporting date, only NextFinTech generated revenue from operation.

As described in Note 14 for the strategic sales of NextTrip and Reinhart/Zappware units, the business of NextTrip represented the entirety of the NextTrip operating segment and Reinhart Digital TV was a part of NextMedia operating segment prior to being classified as held for sale. As of November 30, 2022, they were classified as held for sale and therefore no longer presented in segment reporting.

***Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements***

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and an entity's own assumptions (unobservable inputs).

The hierarchy consists of three levels:

● Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

● Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets of liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

● Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Other financial instruments of the Company are short-term in nature or carrying interest at rates close to the market interest rates, their fair value is not expected to be materially different from the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

**Fair value of financial instruments**

The methods and assumptions used by the Grouping estimating the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:

a) For financial assets and liabilities which have short-term maturities, including cash and cash equivalents, short term investment, accounts receivable, loans receivable, unbilled receivables, other receivables, line of credit and notes payable and accounts payable, the carrying amounts in the balance sheets approximate their fair value.

b) The fair value of investment in unconsolidated affiliates is generally derived from quoted market prices or based on generally accepted pricing models when no market price is available.

***Note 14– Subsequent Events***

In accordance with ASC 855-10 "Subsequent Events", the company has analyzed its operations subsequent to November 30, 2022, to January 18, 2023, the date when the financial statements were issued. The Management of the Company determined that there were no reportable events other than those noted that occurred during that subsequent period to be disclosed or recorded.

On January 4, 2023, Timothy Sikora notified NextPlay Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), of his resignation as the Company's Chief Information Officer, effective December 30, 2022. Mr. Sikora tendered his resignation in connection with the pending separation of NextTrip Group, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, from the Company, as previously disclosed in that Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2022. Mr. Sikora's resignation is not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.

**OVERVIEW**

During the nine month period ended November 30, 2022, NextPlay Technologies, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is building a technology solutions company, offering games, in-game advertising, digital asset products and services to consumers and corporations within a growing worldwide digital ecosystem. NextPlay's engaging products and services utilize innovative advertising technology ("AdTech"), Artificial Intelligence ("AI") and financial technology ("FinTech") solutions to leverage the strengths and channels of its existing and acquired technologies.

As of November 30, 2022, NextPlay is organized into two divisions: (i) NextMedia, the Company's Interactive Digital Media Division and (ii) NextFinTech, the Company's Finance and Technology Division.

<u>NextMedia Division</u>

*HotPlay*

HotPlay Enterprise Limited ("HotPlay"), which is wholly-owned by NextPlay, is an in-game advertising ("IGA") platform that delivers advertisements into video games without disrupting gameplay, enabling video games to monetize without compromising on the integrity of the game. The platform enables advertisers and merchants of all sizes to hyper-locally deliver promotional coupons to gamers, offering them real world rewards from playing video games. Video games could also deliver relevant virtual rewards through the platform in order to increase retention rate.

Upon receiving the rewards, gamers are able to access them via the HotPlay redemption mobile application ("Redemption App"). The redemption app also features a list of games integrated with HotPlay IGA, giving video games visibility among the HotPlay user base.

In order to increase HotPlay IGA adoption among third party video game developers, HotPlay has established an in-house game development studio dedicated to developing casual and hyper-casual games that help showcase the capabilities of our technology.

<u>NextFinTech Division</u>

*Next Fintech*

NextPlay owns 100% of Next Fintech Holdings, Inc. (formerly Longroot, Inc.) ("Next Fintech"), which in turn owns 75% of Longroot Limited, a Cayman Islands company ("Longroot Cayman"). Longroot Cayman owns 49% of the outstanding ordinary shares (with 51% of the preferred shares owned by two Thai citizen nominee shareholders) of Longroot Holding (Thailand) Company Limited ("Longroot Thailand"), provided that Longroot Cayman controls 90% of Longroot Thailand's voting shares and therefore effectively controls Longroot Thailand. Longroot Thailand is an Initial Coin Offering ("ICO") Portal that provides digital asset financing and investment services that are fully regulated and licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (the "Thai SEC"). It is focused on creating Thai regulated cryptocurrencies backed by high quality assets that are designed to be more resistant to market declines. The initial class of assets includes video games, insurance, precious metals, and real estate.

Longroot Thailand is a licensed ICO Portal under the Thai SEC and is regulated under the Thai Digital Asset Law which stipulates that all offerings of digital assets have to be conducted via a Thai SEC licensed ICO Portal.

*NextBank International*

Licensed under Act 273 by the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions ("OCIF"), NextBank currently offers concierge services to high net worth individuals and entrepreneurs, and loan products.

NextPlay plans to create a diversified FinTech solution company that offers asset banking, asset management and mobile payment and banking services.

On November 18, 2022, Kent Taepakdee resigned from his position as the Chief Financial Officer of NextPlay Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company").

***Reverse Stock Split***

Effective January 6, 2023, the Company implemented a reverse stock split of the Company's authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at a ratio of 1-for-20 (the "Reverse Split"). In order to implement the Reverse Split, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the "Certificate of Change") to effectuate the Reverse Split in accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") Section 78.209. The Company is effecting the Reverse Split to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

In connection with the reverse stock split, the number of authorized shares of common stock and the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock are proportionally reduced without change in par value per share of $0.00001. Also on the Effective Date, all options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company that are outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split will be adjusted by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock into which the options, warrants and other convertible securities are exercisable or convertible by 20, and multiplying the exercise or conversion price thereof by 20, all in accordance with the terms of the plans, agreements or arrangements governing such options, warrants and other convertible securities and subject to rounding to the nearest whole share. Accordingly, all historical per share data, number of shares outstanding and other common stock equivalents for the periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split.

***Strategic Sale of Reinhart Digital TV (Zappware) and NextTrip to TGS Esports, Inc.***

On June 28, 2022, the Company entered into a series of agreements, including a securities exchange agreement, with William Kerby, the Company's co-Chief Executive Officer and director, Donald P. Monaco, a director of the Company, and British Columbia-based TGS E-Sports Inc. (TSX-V: TGS, OTC: TGSEF) ("TGS"), a public company whose securities are listed for trading on the Canadian TSX Venture Exchange, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell the Company's travel business, NextTrip Group, LLC ("NextTrip"), and its 51% ownership of Reinhart Digital TV (the 100% owner of Zappware) to TGS in exchange for securities of TGS (discussed in further detail below. TGS is a leading esports tournament solutions provider.

Prior to the execution of the securities exchange agreement, NextTrip issued an aggregate of 915,000 units in NextTrip to Messrs. Kerby and Monaco to resolve certain management unit issuances provided for in NextTrip's Operating Agreement as consideration for services rendered.

As consideration for the sale of Reinhart and NextTrip, upon closing of the transaction, (i) the Company will receive 232,380,952 shares of newly created nonvoting convertible preferred stock of TGS (the "TGS Preferred"), valued at $12.2 million, and (ii) Messrs. Kerby and Monaco, both of whom hold certain equity interests in NextTrip (discussed above), will receive an aggregate of 69,714,286 shares of TGS common shares, valued at $3.66 million, of which 11,619,048 TGS common shares will be held in escrow for a period of time. The TGS Preferred shares will be redeemable in certain situations, can be sold subject to certain transfer restrictions (including a right of first refusal in favor of TGS), and may be converted into shares of TGS common shares in certain limited circumstances, including mandatory conversion upon the occurrence of certain events. In the event that the TGS Preferred shares are converted into TGS common shares by the Company at any time, the Company is obligated to distributed all such TGS common shares in a stock dividend to its shareholders. Concurrently with a determination to convert the TGS Preferred shares into shares of TGS common stock, if ever, the Company will set a shareholder record date for a special dividend to distribute all of the common shares of TGS held by the Company to the Company's shareholders, on a pro-rata basis.

In addition to the securities exchange agreement, the Company, NextTrip, Reinhart and TGS also entered into a separation agreement on June 28, 2022, to further document the separation of NextTrip and Reinhart from the Company and to assign, transfer and convey certain assets and liabilities held in NextTrip or the Company's name, respectively, to NextTrip or the Company, respectively, to allow for the separation of the businesses in accordance with the securities exchange agreement at closing of the transaction. The separation agreement also provides for the termination of certain intercompany agreements and accounts by and between the parties at closing of the transaction, sets rights related to confidentiality, non-disclosure and maintenance of attorney-client privilege matters, and also provides for a mutual release by and among the Company, NextTrip and Reinhart for all pre-closing claims between themselves and their officers, directors, affiliates, successors and assigns.

In addition, the separation agreement provides for the contribution of (i) $1.5 million to NextTrip and (ii) an additional $1.5 million in ten (10) equal monthly installments beginning July 1, 2022, in exchange for NextTrip, as of May 1, 2022, agreeing to assume the ongoing operating expenses of NextTrip and Reinhart. NextTrip has also agreed to assume payments under that certain payment obligation of the Company pursuant an Amendment to Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement effective May 18, 2021, by and between the Company, IDS Inc., TD Assets Holding LLC, and Ari Daniels in the approximate amount of $2,500,000, provided, however, that, if the Company fails to make any of the above installment payments within five (5) business days of being due, that such IDS payment obligation reverts back to the Company.

Closing of the transaction remains subject to various conditions, including (without limitation) regulatory approvals, approval of certain related matters by TGS' shareholders and consummation of a financing by TGS, and is expected to occur in the second half of 2022. No assurances can be provided that the closing conditions will be satisfied, or that the transaction will be consummated on the anticipated timeline, or at all.

The transaction, once consummated, is expected to streamline the Company's business operations and management, improve capital allocation, and is expected to unlock shareholder value by offering investors a pure-play investment in the Digital Media and Financial Technology sectors.

As a result of the foregoing, since June 28, 2022, Reinhart/Zappware and NextTrip were no longer treated as a division of the Company; accordingly, for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2022, the Company had two remaining reportable business segments: NextFinTech and NextMedia.

***Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)***

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes the infectious disease known as COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" on January 30, 2020 and a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. In March and April 2020, many U.S. states and local jurisdictions began issuing 'stay-at-home' orders. For example, the state of Florida, where the Company's principal business operations are, issued a 'stay-at-home' order effective on April 1, 2020, which remained in place, subject to certain exceptions, through June 2020, when the order was gradually lifted. Since then, many states have implemented various restrictions in order to minimize the spread of COVID-19, many of which have been fully lifted as of the date of this filing. There can be no assurances that additional restrictions will not be implemented again in the future.

 ****

The COVID-19 pandemic, and governmental responses thereto, including travel restrictions, 'stay-at-home' orders and required social distancing orders, severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world, and had an unprecedented effect on the global travel industry. Additionally, the ability to travel has been curtailed through border closures, mandated travel restrictions and limited operations of hotels, airlines, and may be further limited through additional voluntary or mandated closures of travel-related businesses, the majority of which have now been lifted.

The measures implemented to contain the COVID-19 pandemic have had, and may in the future have continue to have, a significant negative effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity position.

The duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic are still uncertain and difficult to predict at this time. The pandemic could continue to negatively affect global economic activity for an extended period of time, even as restrictions have been lifted in most jurisdictions and vaccines are widely available in the United States and certain other countries. We also cannot predict the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our partners and their business and operations or the ways that the pandemic may fundamentally alter the travel industry. The aforementioned circumstances could result in a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, potentially for a prolonged period.

The Company's liquidity could also be adversely impacted by delays in payments of outstanding accounts receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms and insolvencies.

It is difficult to estimate COVID-19's impact on future revenues, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity or financial condition, but such impacts have been, and likely will continue to be, significant and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity position for the foreseeable future. In the near term, we do expect that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively affect our operating results and year-over-year results.

As a result of the above, we may be forced to scale back our operations, adjust our plan of operations, borrow or raise additional funding, which may not be available on favorable terms if at all. In the event we require and are unable to raise additional funding in the future, we may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection.

**RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

As discussed elsewhere in this report, as a result of the proposed sale of NextTrip and Reinhart/Zappware to TGS, Reinhart/Zappware and NextTrip were no longer treated as a division of the Company, and instead have been classified as assets held for sale; accordingly, unless otherwise stated, the results of continuing operations included herein for the nine-month period ended November, 2022 exclude the results of NextTrip and Reinhart/Zappware.

*For the Nine months Ended November 30, 2022 Compared to Nine months Ended November 30, 2021*

***Revenues***

Our total revenues increased to $1.55 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, as compared to $0.71 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2021. The increase is derived from the loan portfolio organic growth and increase in financial services of NextBank.

***Cost of Revenues***

Our total cost of revenues increased to $1.11 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, compared to $0.30 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2021. Our gross profit was $0.44 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, compared to $0.42 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2021. Cost of revenues and gross profit increased in line with revenue of NextBank.

 ****

***Operating Expenses***

Our operating expenses include general and administrative, salaries and benefits, technology and development, stock-based compensation, selling and promotion and depreciation and amortization. Our operating expenses increased to $2.46 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, as compared to the $11.87 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2021.

This increase was mainly related to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) General and administrative expenses, which increased to $1.53 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, as compared to $5.78 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2021. The increase is mainly due to professional and consultant fees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) $0.60 million increase in salaries and benefits, due to having an increased number of employees 2022 compared to 2021;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) $0.50 million increase in technology and development, due to professional fees and software license expenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) $0.14 million increase in stock-based compensation given to consultants
and business vendors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) $0.016 million increase in selling and promotion expenses, due to the operation for the prior period from NextTrip; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(vi) $0.33 million decrease in depreciation and amortization from a write-off
some assets of the Company.

 ****

***Other Income and Expenses***

Our other income and expenses include valuation gain or loss on investments, impairment loss, interest income or expense, and other income or expense. Our total other expenses amounted to $0.96 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, compared to other expenses of $5.42 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2021. The period over period change is mainly attributable to the valuation loss on investments of $2.34 million.

***Non-Controlling Interest***

We had an increase in loss in non-controlling interest of $1.16 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, compared to a loss in non-controlling interest of $1.39 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2021, mainly due to a loss from operation for the period from Reinhart/Zappware in the 2022 period.

***Net Loss after tax from continuing operation***

We had a net loss attributable to the Company of $14.62 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, compared to a net loss attributable to the Company of $16.12 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2021, primarily due to the decrease in other expenses of $4.46 million.

***Net Loss after tax from discontinued operation***

Loss from discontinued operations $5.69 million represents 2 reporting entities below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Reinhart/Zappware: net loss from operation of $4.71 million and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) NextTrip: net loss from operation of $0.98 million, as the global travel demand slowly recovered.

The discontinued operations classified as held for sale were considered for its impairment since March 1, 2022 and did not continue to depreciate/amortize their fixed assets per accounting standard, this primarily resulted in net profit for Reinhart/Zappware.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

On November 30, 2022, we had $2.56 million of cash and cash equivalents, which was decreased from $1.72 million as of February 28, 2022 due primarily to cash out flow from investing activities of $4.82 million for intangible asset acquisition.

As of November 30, 2022, the Company had total current liabilities of $57.90 million, which represented:

Line of credit and notes payable of $5.33 million, mainly consisting of notes payable to Streeterville;

Accounts payable and accrued expense of $9.74 million;

Customer deposits of $27.28 million from NextBank; and

Liabilities classified as held for sale of $13.76 million, mainly consisting of liabilities of Reinhart/Zappware and NextTrip.

As of November 30, 2022, we had approximately $103.985 million in total assets, $57.90 million in total liabilities and a total accumulated deficit of $57.17 million.

Cash used in operating activities was $0.33 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, compared to $12.57 million of cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended November 30, 2021. The decrease was mainly due to operating expense and other related activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $4.82 million for the quarter ended November 30, 2022, as compared to net cash generated in investing activities of $11.57 million for nine months ended November 30, 2021. The cash used in investing activities are mainly attributable to the intangible asset acquisition of GoGame and travel platform in 2022 while 2021 represented HotPlay's cashflow for reverse takeover activities.

Net cash generated in financing activities was $1.09 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, compared to net cash used in by financing activities of $21.97 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2021, the significant cash used in previous year came from the proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants in a registered public offering. In 2022, the decrease was primarily due to proceed from notes payable - related party of $1.36 million while 2021 represented HotPlay's cashflow received from shareholders in conjunction with the reverse takeover activities.

Additional information regarding our acquisitions and dispositions, notes receivable, investments in equity instruments, notes payable can be found under "Part I. Financial Statements—Item 1. Financial Statements", "Note 4 – Acquisitions and Dispositions", "Note 5 – Related party transactions", "Note 6 – Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates", "Note 7 – Notes Receivable", and "Note 9 – Notes Payable", and "Note 14 – Subsequent Events".

We have limited financial resources. As of November 30, 2022, we have working capital of $3.53 million. Our monthly cash requirement is approximately $1.4 million.

We will need to raise additional capital or borrow loans to support the on-going operation, increase market penetration of our products, expand the marketing and development of our technology driven products, repay debt obligations, provide capital expenditures for additional equipment and development costs, payment obligations, and systems for managing the business including covering other operating costs until our planned revenue streams from all businesses and products are fully implemented and begin to offset our operating costs. Our failure to obtain additional capital to finance our working capital needs on acceptable terms, or at all, would negatively impact on our business, financial condition, and liquidity. We currently have limited resources to satisfy these obligations, and our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business and ability to continue as a going concern.

To date, we have funded our operations with the proceeds from equity and debt financings and we anticipate we will need to meet our funding requirements through the sale of additional equity or debt financing, which funds may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. We anticipate that we would need several millions of dollars to properly market our services and fund the operations for the next 12 months.

**Known Trends or Uncertainties**

Although we have not seen any significant reduction in revenues to date, we have seen some consolidation in our industry during economic downturns. These consolidations have not had a negative effect on our total sales; however, should consolidations and downsizing in the industry continue to occur, those events could adversely impact our revenues and earnings going forward.

As discussed in the Risk Factors section of this Report, the world has been affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Until the pandemic has passed, there remains uncertainty as to the effect of COVID-19 on our business in both the short and long-term.

The potential for growth in new markets is uncertain. We will continue to explore these opportunities until such time as we either generate sales or determine that resources would be more efficiently used elsewhere.

**Inflation**

Inflation has increased during the periods covered by this Report, and is expected to continue to increase for the near future. Inflationary factors, such as increases in interest rates, overhead costs and transportation costs may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, we may experience some effect in the near future (especially if inflation rates continue to rise) due to supply chain constraints, consequences associated with COVID-19 and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, employee availability and wage increases.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

**Contractual Obligations and Commitments**

*<u>Note Purchase Agreements: Streeterville Capital, LLC</u>*

*<u>March 2021 Note Purchase Agreement</u>*

On March 22, 2021, we entered into the March 2021 Note Purchase Agreement dated March 23, 2021 with Streeterville, pursuant to which the Company sold Streeterville the March 2021 Streeterville Note in the original principal amount of $9,370,000. Streeterville paid consideration of (a) $7,000,000 in cash; and (b) issued the Company the March 2021 Investor Note in the amount of $1,500,000, in consideration for the March 2021 Streeterville Note, which included an OID of $850,000 and reimbursement of Streeterville's transaction expenses of $20,000. A total of $700,000 of the OID was fully earned upon issuance and the remaining $150,000 was not fully earned until the March 2021 Investor Note was fully-funded by Streeterville, which occurred on May 26, 2021. Also on May 26, 2021, Streeterville funded the March 2021 Investor Note (in the amount of $1.5 million) in full.

We made a required Equity Payment of $1,857,250 to Streeterville under the March 2021 Streeterville Note on May 26, 2021, with funds raised through a May 2021 underwritten offering, which represented approximately 20% of the funds raised in such offering. On November 4, 2021, the Company paid down the outstanding balance of the March 2021 Streeterville Note in the amount of $6,000,000 with funds raised through the November 2021 registered direct offering.

As of November 30, 2022, the remaining aggregate principal balance of the March 2021 Streeterville Notes was $0.

*October 2021 Note Purchase Agreement*

On October 22, 2021, the Company entered into the October 2021 Note Purchase Agreement with Streeterville, pursuant to which the Company sold Streeterville the October 2021 Streeterville Note in the original principal amount of $1,665,000. Streeterville paid consideration of $1,500,000, which represents the original principal amount less a $150,000 OID, which was fully earned upon issuance, and a total of $15,000 to cover Streeterville's professional fees and transaction expenses.

The October 2021 Note Purchase Agreement and the October 2021 Streeterville Note contain customary events of default, including if the Company undertakes a fundamental transaction (including consolidations, mergers, and certain changes in control of the Company), without Streeterville's prior written consent. As described in the October 2021 Streeterville Note, upon the occurrence of certain events of default (mainly our entry into bankruptcy), the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note will become automatically due and payable. Upon the occurrence of other events of default, Streeterville may declare the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note immediately due and payable at such time or at any time thereafter. After the occurrence of an event of default (and upon written notice from Streeterville), interest on the October 2021 Streeterville Note will accrue at a rate of 22% per annum, or if lesser, the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. The October 2021 Note Purchase Agreement prohibits Streeterville from shorting our stock through the period that Streeterville holds the October 2021 Streeterville Note.

On April 29, 2022, the Company entered into the Standstill Agreement with Streeterville, pursuant to which, Streeterville agreed not to seek to redeem any portion of the October 2021 Streeterville Note (in the original principal amount of $1,665,000) until September 18, 2022. As consideration for such agreement, the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Note was increased by $87,639.33 (the "Standstill Fee"); as a result, the outstanding balance of the October 2021 Note as of April 29, 2022 was $1,840,912.84 (including outstanding interest). Subsequently on September 22, 2022, the Company elected the redemption deferral option which added $38,331.27 to the principal in which increased the outstanding principal balance to $1,790,971 as of the same date.

As of November 30, 2022, the remaining aggregate principal balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Notes was $1,752,639, plus accrued interest of $152,778.

*May 2022 Note Purchase Agreement*

On May 5, 2022, the Company entered into the May 2022 Note Purchase Agreement with Streeterville, pursuant to which the Company sold Streeterville the May 2022 Streeterville Note in the original principal amount of $2,765,000. Streeterville paid consideration of $2,500,000, which represents the original principal amount less a $250,000 OID, which was fully earned upon issuance, and a total of $15,000 to cover Streeterville's professional fees and transaction expenses.

The May 2022 Note Purchase Agreement and the May 2022 Streeterville Note contain customary events of default, including if the Company undertakes a fundamental transaction (including consolidations, mergers, and certain changes in control of the Company), without Streeterville's prior written consent. As described in the May 2022 Streeterville Note, upon the occurrence of certain events of default (mainly our entry into bankruptcy), the outstanding balance of the May 2022 Streeterville Note will become automatically due and payable. Upon the occurrence of other events of default, Streeterville may declare the outstanding balance of the May 2022 Streeterville Note immediately due and payable at such time or at any time thereafter. After the occurrence of an event of default (and upon written notice from Streeterville), interest on the May 2022 Streeterville Note will accrue at a rate of 22% per annum, or if lesser, the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. The May 2022 Note Purchase Agreement prohibits Streeterville from shorting our stock through the period that Streeterville holds the May 2022 Streeterville Note.

As of November 30, 2022, the remaining aggregate principal balance of the May 2022 Streeterville Notes was $2,765,000, plus accrued interest of $92,119.

On June 2, 2022, the Company entered into a Global Amendment to satisfy the requirement that HotPlay become a co-borrower on the October 2021 Streeterville Note and the May 2022 Streeterville Note and jointly and severally assume all of the obligations and duties of the Company under those notes. As a result, all references to "Borrower" or the "Company" in such notes now jointly refer to HotPlay and NextPlay. Streeterville also agreed to waive its right to enforce an increase in the balance of the October 2021 Streeterville Note due to the Company's failure to add HotPlay as a co-borrower on the October 2021 Streeterville Note within the prescribed period of time to do so. The Global Amendment does not alter any other terms of the notes.

*<u>June 2022 Promissory Notes</u>*

On June 13, 2022, the Company entered into two promissory notes, each in the principal amount of approximately CAD $231,121 (USD $178,234), with its former legal counsel, which notes were issued, along with a CAD $10,000 (USD $7,712) in lieu of immediate payment of outstanding amounts payable to such counsel for legal services previously rendered to the Company. The first note matured on July 31, 2022, and the second note matured on September 1, 2022; provided, however, that if the Company fails to repay the first note in full on or before its maturity date, then the second note will automatically become immediately due and payable. Both notes are unsecured and accrue interest at a rate of 18% per annum. The Company is in the process of re-negotiating the payment schedules.

*<u>Operating Leases Obligation</u>*

The Company entered into an office lease in Sunrise, Florida where we leased approximately 5,279 square feet of office space at 1560 Sawgrass Corporate Parkway, Suite 130, Sunrise, Florida 33323. In accordance with the terms of the office space lease agreement, the Company will be renting the commercial office space, for a term of almost eight years from March 1, 2021, through July 31, 2028, with rental costs amounting to approximately $17,380 per month for the duration of the lease. As per the Separation Agreement by and between the Company, Reinhart/Zappware and NextTrip, however, the Company has transferred the office lease contract to NextTrip from May 1, 2022 onwards and therefore presented under assets and liabilities held for sale. On August 25, 2022, the Company entered into an office lease in Sunrise, Florida for a term of six months from September 1, 2022, through January 30, 2023. Additionally, the Group rents office space located in Puerto Rico, Thailand with lease terms ranging from five to nine years, with rental costs for all such properties amounting to an aggregate of approximately $19,546.14 per month.

**CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES**

The discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates past judgments and estimates, including those related to bad debts, accrued liabilities, convertible promissory notes and contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The accounting policies and related risks described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on June 21, 2022, are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of November 30, 2022, there had been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.

**Recently Issued Accounting Standards**

For more information on recently issued accounting standards, see in "Note 1 – Summary of Business Operations and Significant Accounting Policies", to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included herein under "Part I - Financial Information - Item 1. Financial Statements".

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

**Market Risk**

This represents the risk of loss that may result from the potential change in value of a financial instrument because of fluctuations in interest rates and market prices. We do not currently have any trading derivatives, nor do we expect to have any in the future. We have established policies and internal processes related to the management of market risks, which we use in the normal course of our business operations.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures.**

**Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Principal Executive Officer (Ms. Boonyawattanapisut, our Co-Chief Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as of November 30, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Principal Executive Officer (Ms. Boonyawattanapisut our Co-Chief Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

As of November 30, 2022, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls**

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions, and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

**PART II – OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings.**

The Company is involved, from time to time, in litigation, other legal claims and proceedings involving matters associated with or incidental to our business, including, among other things, matters involving breach of contract claims, intellectual property, employment issues, and other related claims and vendor matters.

Such current litigation and prior settlements are described in, and incorporated by reference in, this "Item 1. Legal Proceedings" from, Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies", under the heading "Legal Matters". The Company believes that the resolution of currently pending matters could individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, assessment of the current litigation or other legal claims could change in light of the discovery of facts not presently known to the Company or by judges, juries or other finders of fact, which are not in accord with management's evaluation of the possible liability or outcome of such litigation or claims.

Additionally, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. If one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts in excess of management's expectations, the Company's financial condition and operating results for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2022, filed with the SEC on June 21, 2022, under the heading "Risk Factors", and investors should review the risks provided in the Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, and below, prior to making an investment in the Company. The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2022, or below, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company's actual financial condition and operating results to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition and operating results. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

**Risks Relating to Our Business Generally:**

***We need additional capital which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, which raises questions about our ability to continue as a going concern.***

As of November 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $57.17 million. Net loss after tax from continuing operation and from discontinued operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, amounted to $14.85 million and $5.69 million, respectively. Our FinTech Division generated gross profits of $0.44 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2022, and as of November 30, 2022, we had working capital of $3.53 million. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

We are subject to all the substantial risks inherent in the development of a new business enterprise within an extremely competitive industry. Due to the absence of a long-standing operating history and the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, we anticipate operating losses until we can successfully implement our business strategy, which includes all associated revenue streams. Our revenue model is new and evolving, and we cannot be certain that it will be successful. The potential profitability of this business model is unproven. We may never ever achieve profitable operations or generate significant revenues. Our future operating results depend on many factors, including demand for our products, the level of competition, and the ability of our officers to manage our business and growth. As a result of the emerging nature of the market in which we compete, we may incur operating losses until such time as we can develop a substantial and stable revenue base. Additional development expenses may delay or negatively impact the ability of the Company to generate profits. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our business model will be successful or that we can sustain revenue growth, achieve, or sustain profitability, or continue as a going concern. Furthermore, due to our relatively small size and market footprint, we may be more susceptible to issues affecting cryptocurrency, gaming and banking industries in general as compared to larger competitors.

We currently have a monthly cash requirement of approximately $1.4 million. We believe that in the aggregate, we could require several millions of dollars to support and expand the marketing and development of our products, repay debt obligations, provide capital expenditures for additional equipment and development costs, payment obligations, office space and systems for managing the business, and cover other operating costs until our planned revenue streams from all products are fully implemented and begin to offset our operating costs. We require additional funding in the future and if we are unable to obtain additional funding on acceptable terms, or at all, it will negatively impact our business, financial condition, and liquidity. As of November 30, 2022 and February 28, 2022, we had $57.67 million and $27.50 million of current liabilities, respectively.

We have derived our funding of operations mainly with equity transactions and with the proceeds from debt offerings.

We have experienced liquidity issues due to, among other reasons, our limited ability to raise adequate capital on acceptable terms. We have historically relied upon the sale of common stock and other equity securities and the issuance of promissory notes to fund our operations and have devoted significant efforts to reduce that exposure. We anticipate that we will need to issue equity to fund our operations and continue to repay our outstanding debt for the foreseeable future. If we are unable to achieve operational profitability or are not successful in securing other forms of financing, we will have to evaluate alternative actions to reduce our operating expenses and conserve cash.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included herein also include a going concern footnote from our auditors.

In the event we are unable to raise adequate funding in the future for our operations and to pay our outstanding debt obligations, we may be forced to scale back our business plan and/or liquidate some or all of our assets or may be forced to seek bankruptcy protection, which could result in the value of our outstanding securities declining in value or becoming worthless.

***The sale of the Company's travel and media businesses is contingent upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, may not be completed on the currently contemplated timeline, or at all, and may not achieve the intended benefits.***

On June 29, 2022, we announced that we had entered into a series of agreements with TGS, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell TGS its travel and media businesses, subject to satisfaction of various closing conditions. The transaction may not be completed as currently contemplated, or at all, and may not provide the benefits that we intend. Completion of the proposed sale is subject to certain closing conditions, including, without limitation, TSXV's consent and approval of the transaction, approval of the transaction and certain related matters by TGS' shareholders and consummation of a financing by TGS. The proposed transaction is complex in nature, and may be affected by unanticipated developments, disruptions in the credit or equity markets, or changes in general economic conditions. These or other unanticipated developments could delay or prevent the transaction from closing or cause it to occur on terms or conditions that are less favorable than anticipated.

Even if the transaction is completed, it may not be successful in accomplishing our objectives. Additionally, even if completed, no assurances can be provided that the TGS Preferred shares will ever be converted into shares of TGS common stock and distributed to our stockholders through a special dividend, sold by the Company or redeemed by TGS at any point. Additionally, there is the potential for business disruption to each company and significant separation costs. Planning and executing the transaction will require significant additional time, effort and expense, and may divert the attention of our management and employees, and those of TGS from other aspects of the business operations, and any delays in the completion of the transaction may increase the amount of time, effort, and expense that is devoted to the transaction. The sale of our travel and media businesses to TGS could cause our customers or customers of TGS to delay or defer decisions to purchase products or renew contracts, or to end their relationships. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or the price of shares of our common stock.

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.**

*<u>Sales of Securities</u>*

There have been no sales of unregistered securities during the nine months ended November 30, 2022, and from the period from December 1, 2022, to the filing date of this report, which have not previously been disclosed in our periodic reports or a Current Report on Form 8-K.

**Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.**

None.

**Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.**

Not applicable.

**Item 5. Other Information.**

None.

**Item 6. Exhibits.**

all causes of action arising from this Agreement.

due date up to the date that full repayment is made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3 The Lender shall have the right in its discretion to exercise
either both clause 7.1 and 7.2, or partial exercise or not exercising its right. The failure to exercise, and delay in exercising shall
not preclude any other or future exercise thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4 Borrower waives the right to proceed in any action, suit,
proceeding or counterclaim of any kind arising out of or related to any of the Loan Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5 The Borrower agrees to be charged at 15% per annum of overdue
balances which comprise of penalties and other payments under this agreement as from the due date up to the date that full repayment
is made.

8. All notices and other communications made or required to be given pursuant to the Loan Agreement shall be in writing and shall be
deemed given if delivered by registered mail to the address specified in this agreement. It shall be the responsibility of each of the
parties to this Agreement to notify all other parties of their respective addresses and any changes thereof within 15 days from such changes,
and any objections to the performance of any act required hereunder based upon a failure to receive a notice mailed in conformity with
the provisions of this Agreement shall be meritless.

9. Others

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.1 The Lender reserves the right, at any time while the Obligations remain outstanding, to assign or otherwise transfer of any or all
of the Lender's interest under the Loan Agreement. The Borrower consents to the Lender's releasing financial and other information regarding
the Borrower in connection with any such offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.2 In the event any provision or part of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, only that particular provision or part
so found, and not the entire Agreement, will be inoperative. Both parties agree that the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall
be unaffected thereby and shall continue to be valid and enforceable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.3 Borrower hereby grants to Lender a right of offset to secure the repayment of the obligations under this agreement upon any proceeds
therefrom now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to the Lender from the account of Borrower. Lender is authorized at any time
and from time to time, without notice to Borrower, to offset, appropriate, and apply any and all of those items against the Obligations.

This agreement is executed in two (2) originals, each of which shall be deemed an original and together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Each Party acknowledges that it has read and understands this agreement.
