NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Combination
Gaming Technologies, Inc. (formerly Dito, Inc.,)
(“Gaming US”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 23, 2019. Effective as of March 18, 2020, Gaming US completed
a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") to acquire all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Gaming Technologies
Limited, formerly Gaming UK Limited, (“Gaming UK”) that provided for each outstanding ordinary share of Gaming UK to be effectively
converted into 25 shares of common stock of Gaming US. As a result, Gaming UK became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gaming US in a recapitalization
transaction (collectively, the “Company”). On December 21, 2020, the Company changed its name from Dito, Inc. to Gaming Technologies
Inc.
Gaming UK was originally formed as Smart Tower
Limited on November 3, 2017 in the United Kingdom for the purpose of software development. On June 29, 2018, Smart Tower Limited changed
its name to NENX Gaming Limited and then to Gaming UK Limited on July 29, 2019 and to Gaming Technologies Limited on January 7, 2021.
On March 18, 2021, the Company incorporated Vale
Gaming, Inc. in the State of Delaware, a wholly owned subsidiary, that has had no operations.
Gaming US maintains its principal executive offices
in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Gaming UK maintains its principal executive offices in London, England.
The Company's activities are subject to significant
risks and uncertainties, including the need for additional capital, as described below. The Company does not have positive cash flows
from operations, and is dependent on periodic infusions of debt and equity capital to fund its operating requirements.
Business Operations
The Company is a mobile games developer and publisher
with offices in London and New York. The Company intends to license its software platform to mobile gaming operators and developers to
enable rapid development of new games. In addition, the Company operates an online gaming operation in Mexico through its web site vale.mx.
On November 13, 2020, we entered into an Agreement
for the Provision of Online Gaming Management and Consulting Services (as subsequently amended) with Comercial de Juegos de la Frontera,
S.A. de C.V., a Mexican company doing business as Big Bola, pursuant to which we provide to Big Bola consulting and management services
related to their interactive online betting and gaming business in Mexico via the web site www.vale.mx, a regulated online casino and
sports betting site. vale.mx operates under Big Bola’s existing license issued by the General Directorate of Games and Raffles of
the Ministry of Interior (SEGOB). Big Bola is one of only 14 operators legally authorized to offer legal betting and
online casino services in Mexico. vale.mx has more than 500 online premium casino games available, which can be enjoyed both on mobile
or via desktop. Players can receive promotions and play live roulette and blackjack, or high-definition slots from leading software providers
such as NetEnt, Microgaming, Pragmatic Play, Evolution and Matrix Studios. We are responsible for player acquisition, promotion and retention
for vale.mx. We manage players’ accounts and are required to ensure that the balance in players’ accounts at all times satisfies
the requirements under applicable law, and we pay out winnings to players from Big Bola’s account. While Big Bola bears liability
to the players as provided by the permit, as between us and Big Bola we bear the costs of this obligation. Each party indemnifies the
other against certain liabilities and claims. Under the terms of the agreement, we share 60% of gross gaming revenue generated from the
platform, subject to certain minimum guaranteed monthly amounts of Big Bola’s participation in the remaining gross gaming revenues.
This venture began operations in February 2021.
On May 19, 2021, we entered into a non-exclusive
license agreement with Playboy Enterprises International, Inc. (“Playboy”) to use certain trademarks (including the rabbit
head logo) and other intellectual property of Playboy on and in connection with the design, creation, promotion, marketing, advertisement,
sales, operation, maintenance and distribution in India of real-money game mobile apps, such as rummy, poker, fantasy sports and other
games of skill approved by Playboy. We will pay Playboy as a royalty a percentage of net gaming revenue. The term of the agreement
is through the end of 2025, subject to early termination upon certain events of default, which include our failure to launch a Playboy-branded
game in India by November 1, 2021, or to meet certain annual minimum net gaming revenue targets. The Playboy-branded game, https://www.playboyrummy.com/,
was launched on November 1, 2021.
Going Concern
The Company's condensed consolidated financial
statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company
has had limited operating revenues to date, and has experienced recurring net losses from operations and negative operating cash flows.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,439,133, utilized cash in operating activities of
$393,811, and had an accumulated deficit of $22,301,431 as of March 31, 2022. The Company has financed its working capital requirements
since inception through the sale of its equity securities and from borrowings.
At March 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $8,241.
The Company estimates that it must raise additional capital in the form of debt or equity in order to continue operations. As reflected
in Note 10, Subsequent Events, the Company obtained two loans, for net proceeds of $65,000 and $250,000, in April 2022. The Company estimates
that a significant amount of capital will be necessary over a sustained period of time to advance the development of the Company's business
to the point at which it can become commercially viable and self-sustaining. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will
be successful in this regard.
As a result, management has concluded that there
is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements are issued. In addition, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, in their report
on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, expressed substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's
ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan, and to ultimately achieve sustainable operating revenues and profitability.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is
unable to continue as a going concern.
The development and expansion of the Company's
business in 2022 and thereafter will be dependent on many factors, including the capital resources available to the Company. No assurances
can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company
or adequate to fund the development and expansion of the Company's business to a level that is commercially viable and self-sustaining.
There is also significant uncertainty as to the effect that the coronavirus pandemic may have on the availability, amount and type of
financing in the future.
If cash resources are insufficient to satisfy
the Company's ongoing cash requirements, the Company would be required to scale back or discontinue its operations, obtain funds, if available,
although there can be no certainty, through strategic alliances that may require the Company to relinquish rights to its technology, or
to discontinue its operations entirely.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Combination
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
and include the financial statements of Gaming US, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vale Gaming, Inc., and its wholly-owned foreign subsidiary,
Gaming UK. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical
experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole 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. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates
utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After
such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant
estimates are expected to include those related to assumptions used in calculating accruals for potential liabilities, valuing equity
instruments issued for services, and the realization of deferred tax assets.
Cash
The Company maintains its cash balances with financial
institutions with high credit ratings. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the
Company's cash balances by currency consisted of the following:

USD | |
$ | 7,259 | | |
$ | 284,410 | |
Cash balances in British Pounds are maintained
in the United Kingdom and cash balances in United States Dollars are maintained in the United States.
Concentration of Risk
The Company may periodically contract with consultants
and vendors to provide services related to the Company's business development activities. Agreements for these services may be for a specific
time period or for a specific project or task. The Company did not have any such agreements at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
ASC Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers. ASC Topic 606 requires companies to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts
the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be
entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosures of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty
of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:
|
· |
Identification of the contract with a customer |
|
· |
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract |
|
· |
Determination of the transaction price |
|
· |
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract |
|
· |
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation |
The Company operates an online betting platform
allowing users to place wagers on casino games. Each wager placed by users create a single performance obligation for the Company to administer
each event wagered. Net gaming revenue is the aggregate of gaming wins and losses based on results of each event that customers wager
bets on. Gross gaming revenue is split with our partners, whose share of gross gaming revenue is recorded as a reduction to net gaming
revenue.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of variable
costs related to our contract with Big Bola. These include mainly (i) payment processing fees and chargebacks, (ii) product
taxes, (iii) technology costs, (iv) revenue share / market access arrangements, and (v) feed / provider services. The Company
incurs payment processing fees on user deposits, withdrawals and deposit reversals from payment processors (“chargebacks”).
Chargebacks have not been material to date. Cost of revenue also includes expenses related to the distribution of our services, amortization
of intangible assets and compensation of revenue associated personnel.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company issues common stock and intends to
issue stock options to officers, directors and consultants for services rendered. Options will vest and expire according to terms established
at the issuance date of each grant. Stock grants, which are generally time vested, will be measured at the grant date fair value and charged
to operations ratably over the vesting period.
The fair value of stock options granted as stock-based
compensation will be determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and can be affected by several variables, the most significant
of which are the life of the equity award, the exercise price of the stock option as compared to the fair market value of the common stock
on the grant date, and the estimated volatility of the common stock. Estimated volatility will be based on the historical volatility of
the Company's common stock over an appropriate calculation period, or, if not available, by reference to the volatility of a representative
sample of comparable public companies. The risk-free interest rate will be based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time
of grant. The fair market value of the common stock will be determined by reference to the quoted market price of the Company's common
stock on the grant date, or, if not available, by reference to an appropriate alternative valuation methodology.
The Company will recognize the fair value of stock-based
compensation awards in general and administrative costs or in software development costs, as appropriate, in the Company's condensed consolidated
statements of operations. The Company will issue new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the
Company did not have any outstanding stock options.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income or loss is defined as the
change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Components of comprehensive
income or loss, including net income or loss, unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities, unrealized gains or losses
on other financial investments, unrealized gains or losses on pension and retirement benefit plans, and foreign currency translation adjustments,
are reported in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Net income (loss) and other comprehensive income
(loss) are reported net of any related tax effect to arrive at comprehensive income (loss). The Company's comprehensive income (loss)
for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 consists of foreign currency translation adjustments.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company's computation of earnings (loss) per
share ("EPS") includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as the income (loss) attributable to common stockholders
divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive
effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible notes payable, convertible preferred stock, warrants and stock
options) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares
that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation
of diluted EPS.
Loss per common share is computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. At March 31, 2022 and December
31, 2021, the Company excluded warrants to acquire 1,540,141 shares of common stock from its calculation of loss per share as their effect
would be antidilutive. Basic and diluted loss per common share is the same for all periods presented because the aforementioned warrants
were antidilutive.
The Company has adopted ASU 2017-11, Earnings
per share (Topic 260), provided that when determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liability or equity
instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s
own stock.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The authoritative guidance with respect to fair
value established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels
and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of three categories, as presented below.
Disclosure as to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, is also required.
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices
in active markets for an identical asset or liability that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial
assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active-exchange traded securities and exchange-based derivatives.
Level 2. Inputs, other than quoted prices included
within Level 1, which are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable
market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange-based derivatives,
mutual funds, and fair-value hedges.
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is
little or no market data for the asset or liability which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Financial assets
and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently-traded non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment funds and
are measured using present value pricing models.
The Company will determine the level in the fair
value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement falls in its entirety, based on the lowest level input that is significant to
the fair value measurement in its entirety. In determining the appropriate levels, the Company will perform an analysis of the assets
and liabilities at each reporting period end.
The carrying value of financial instruments (consisting
of cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses) is considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to the short-term
nature of those instruments.
Foreign Currency
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements are presented in United States dollars ("USD"). The functional currency of Gaming UK, the Company's foreign subsidiary,
is the British Pound (“GBP”), the local currency in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the foreign
subsidiary are translated at the current exchange rate at the end of the period, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange
rates during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021. The resulting translation adjustments of the
balance sheet amounts are recorded as a component of shareholders' equity (deficiency). Gains and losses from translation of revenues
and expenses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss).
Translation of amounts from the local currencies
of the foreign subsidiary, Gaming UK, into USD has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic
326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"). ASU 2016-13
significantly changes how entities measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. ASU 2016-13
will replace the current "incurred loss" approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize
allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the provisions of ASU 2016-13 as a cumulative-effect adjustment
to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which ASU 2016-13 is effective. As small business filer, ASU
2016-13 will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Management is currently
in the process of assessing the impact of adopting ASU-2016-13 on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.
Other recent
accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants,
and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present
or future condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

On November 18, 2021, the Company entered into
a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor for the sale of the Company’s secured convertible note (the Secured
Notes) and warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, on November 18, 2021, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds
of $1,500,000 and issued (i) a 10% Original Issue Discount Senior Secured Convertible Note in the principal amount of $1,666,666.67
and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 727,273 shares of the Company’s common stock. The
Note bears interest at a rate of 10% per year, payable monthly commencing after the third month, and mature 12 months from issuance The
principal and interest are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion
price equal to the lower of (i) $2.75 per share, and (ii) the price of the common stock of the Company in a Qualified Offering (subject
to adjustment as provided in the Note). A “Qualified Offering” is an equity or equity-linked financing for the account of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or debt financing that results in cumulative aggregate proceeds to the Company of at least $8,000,000.
The principal and interest on the Note will be amortized on the effective interest method commencing sixth months after the closing. In
the event that the Secured Notes are repaid within three months of the date of the Secured Notes, the Company will repay 115% of the face
value of the Secured Notes, plus accrued interest. In the event that the Secured Notes are repaid three months after the date of the Secured
Notes, the Company will repay 120% of the face value of the Secured Notes, plus accrued interest. The exercise price of the warrants is
the lesser of (i) $2.75 per share and (ii) the price of the common stock of the Company in a Qualified Offering and the term of the
warrants is five years. Upon an Event of Default (as defined therein) interest shall accrue
at 1 1/2% per month and the 125% of principal and interest through maturity shall be due and payable. At the holder’s option the
holder shall be entitled to be paid in cash or common stock with the conversion price of the common stock equal to a 30% discount to the
average of the three lowest closing prices of the common stock for the 10 prior trading days.
In connection with the
Company’s obligations under the Secured Notes, the Company and its subsidiary Gaming Technology Limited (the “Subsidiary”)
each entered into a security agreement with the holder, pursuant to which the Company and the Subsidiary granted a security interest on
all assets of the Company and the Subsidiary, including the stock of the Subsidiary, for the benefit of the holders, to secure, and the
Subsidiary guaranteed, the Company’s obligations under the Note, the Warrant and the other transaction documents. In addition, the
holder was granted customary piggyback registration rights for the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Note and exercise
of the Warrant and rights of participation.
At any time within the
18 months closing, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of debt or common stock or common stock equivalents for
cash consideration, indebtedness or a combination of units thereof, other than in an underwritten public offering (a “Subsequent
Financing”), the investor will have the right to participate up to its investment amount in the Note, but not more than 25% of the
Subsequent Financing, on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.
Upon issuance of the Secured Note, the Company
recorded an aggregate discount of $901,834 from the original issue discount of $166,667, and a discount related to the relative fair
value of the warrants issued in conjunction with the Secured Note of $735,167. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company
amortized $224,888 of the discount resulting in an unamortized discount of $570,702 as of March 31, 2022. In addition, as of
the date of this filing, which is more than three months after the date of the Secured Note, the Secured Note has not been repaid, and
accordingly, the Company accreted a premium of $157,509 as of December 31, 2021 and $175,825 as of March 31, 2022, which has been
added to the principal amount of the note resulting in a balance due of $2,000,001 at March 31, 2022.
The Company failed to make interest payments on
the Secured Note due in February and March 2022, in the amount of $13,889 each. The holder agreed to extend the due dates of the payments
that were due in February and March 2022 to April 18, 2022, and to waive any resulting default until such date. The Company made the interest
payments by April 18, 2022.

brokers warrants to purchase an aggregate of 144,000 shares of common at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, with an expiration date

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, each
investor was granted customary piggyback registration rights in the event the Company proposes to register the offer and sale of any shares
of its common stock, subject to the limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, such as a registration statement solely relating
to an offering or sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to employee stock plan or in connection with any dividend or
distribution. The Purchase Agreement also provides the investors the option and right to participate in future capital raising transactions
at the same purchase price and on the same terms and conditions as other investors participating in such transactions, for an aggregate

If, at any time during the twelve months following
sale of the Shares, the Company issues or sells shares of common stock or common stock equivalents, except for certain exempt issuances
as described in the Purchase Agreement, at a price below $2.50 per share, then immediately upon such issuance or sale, the Company will
deliver to the investors that number of restricted shares of common stock equal to the difference between the number of Shares purchased
by the investor pursuant to this Purchase Agreement and the number of shares of common stock the investor would have received for the

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Playboy License Agreement
On May 19, 2021, we entered into a non-exclusive
license agreement with Playboy Enterprises International, Inc. (“Playboy”) to use certain trademarks (including the rabbit
head logo) and other intellectual property of Playboy on and in connection with the design, creation, promotion, marketing, advertisement,
sales, operation, maintenance and distribution in India of real-money game mobile apps, such as rummy, poker, fantasy sports and other
games of skill approved by Playboy. We will pay Playboy as a royalty a percentage of net gaming revenue. The term of the agreement is
through the end of 2025, subject to early termination upon certain events of default, which include our failure to launch a Playboy-branded
game in India by November 1, 2021, or to meet certain annual minimum net gaming revenue targets. The Playboy-branded game, https://www.playboyrummy.com/,
was launched on November 1, 2021.
Stock Split
On October 20, 2021, our Board approved resolutions
(i) authorizing a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of our common stock in the range from 1-for-2 to 1-for-8, and providing
authority to our Board to determine whether to effect a reverse stock split and, if so to select the ratio of the reverse stock split
in their discretion, and (ii) to increase the number of our authorized shares of common stock from 45,000,000 to 400,000,000. The
Company submitted these resolutions to its stockholders for approval by written consent, and they were approved by stockholders holding
a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting shares..
We have applied to list
our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “GMGT”. There can be no assurance that the Nasdaq Capital Market
will approve our application for the listing of our common stock. The approval process for the listing of our shares on the Nasdaq Capital
Market, or any other exchange, involves factors beyond our control. Among other things, we will be required to meet the Nasdaq Capital
Market’s threshold for stockholders’ equity, which will require us to raise additional capital, of which there can be no assurance.
We will also be required to meet minimum market value of unrestricted publicly held shares, minimum share price (which will require us
to effect a reverse stock split and other listing criteria, of which there can be no assurance.
If our common stock is approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, there is no guarantee that we will be able to maintain such
listing for any period of time by perpetually satisfying the Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing requirements. Our failure
to continue to meet these requirements may result in our securities being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market. If our common stock
is approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we anticipate filing a certificate of amendment to affect a reverse stock split and
the authorized share increase with the Secretary of State of Delaware , with such actions being effective on, or just before,
the date the common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Legal Contingencies
The Company may be subject to legal proceedings
from time to time as part of its business activities. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company was not subject to any threatened
or pending legal actions or claims.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Company
The global outbreak of
COVID-19 has led to severe disruptions in general economic activities, as businesses and governments have taken broad actions to mitigate
this public health crisis. Although the Company has not experienced any significant disruption to its business to date, these conditions
could significantly negatively impact the Company's business in the future.
The extent to which the
COVID-19 outbreak ultimately impacts the Company's business, future revenues, results of operations and financial condition will depend
on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of
the outbreak, its severity and longevity, the actions to curtail the virus and treat its impact (including an effective vaccine), and
how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the
Company may be at risk of experiencing a significant impact to its business as a result of the global economic impact, including any economic
downturn or recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.
Currently, capital markets
have been disrupted by the crisis, as a result of which the availability, amount and type of financing available to the Company in the
near future is uncertain and cannot be assured and is largely dependent upon evolving market conditions and other factors.
The Company intends to
continue to monitor the situation and may adjust its current business plans as more information and guidance become available.
Contractual Commitments
The Company has retained Julian Parge as a consultant
to Gaming UK, at the request and under the sole discretion of Gaming UK, at the rate of $11,463 (equivalent to £8,333) per week

to pay $600,000 upon the
initiation of the pre-production phase of the work. The pre-production phase was completed in December 2021 and included in accounts
payable as of that date, and the production company has agreed to defer payment until the Company has raised a minimum of $6,000,000
in capital through either a public offering or a private placement.
In September 2021, the Company entered into a
contract with a service provider for brand awareness and social media campaigns. The service provider will be paid a monthly retainer
$50,157 for the term of the agreement, which runs through February 2022. The Company has agreed to spend $1,750,000 during the term of
the agreement for the placement of advertisements on various social media platforms, which will be spent in two phases. Phase 1 began
upon execution of the agreement and Phase II was to begin upon the completion of a capital raise in excess of $5,000,000 from an underwritten
public offering in the United States and the listing of the Company’s common stock on a U.S. national securities exchange. The Company
has paid the service provider $500,000 towards the advertising obligation during the year ended December 31, 2021, which is included in
advertising and marketing expenses. The parties have agreed to abandon Phase II and the contract was not renewed.
