UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

On March 1, 2021, Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its acquisition of the operating assets and specified liabilities that comprise the online gaming operations of Lucky Dino Gaming Limited, a company registered in Malta, and Hiidenkivi Estonia OU, its wholly owned subsidiary registered in Estonia (collectively referred to as “Lucky Dino”). The acquisition of the assets of Lucky Dino was completed in accordance with an asset purchase agreement dated December 14, 2020 (“Lucky Dino Asset Purchase Agreement”) resulting in the payment of cash by the Company of €25,000,000 (approximately $30,645,000 using exchange rates in effect at the acquisition date). The purchase consideration was substantially financed through the issuance of common stock to certain investors pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated February 11, 2021 (herein referred to as the “Lucky Dino Equity Financing”). The Lucky Dino Equity Financing resulted in the issuance of 2,000,000 shares at a price per share of $15.00 and raised gross proceeds of $30,000,000. The net proceeds from the Lucky Dino Equity Financing, after underwriting fees and offering expenses, was $27,340,000.

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (“unaudited pro forma financial information”) has been prepared based on the historical financial statements of the Company and Lucky Dino after giving effect to the Lucky Dino Asset Purchase Agreement. The pro forma financial information is intended to provide information about how the acquisition of Lucky Dino may have affected the Company’s historical financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and the year ended June 30, 2020, combines the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company for these periods, derived from the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 16, 2021, and Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on October 1, 2020, with the respective historical consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income of Lucky Dino as if the acquisition of Lucky Dino had occurred on July 1, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at December 31, 2020 combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of the Company as derived from the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on February 16, 2021, and the historical consolidated balance sheet of Lucky Dino as of September 30, 2020 on a pro forma basis as if the acquisition of Lucky Dino occurred on December 31, 2020.

 

The historical unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended December 31, 2020 combines the Company’s historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended December 31, 2020 with the historical unaudited consolidated results of Lucky Dino during the same six month period. The historical unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended June 30, 2020 combines the Company’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended June 30, 2020 with the results of Lucky Dino derived by adding the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income of Lucky Dino for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to its historical audited consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2019, and then subtracting the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

The fiscal year end of the Company is June 30 and the fiscal year end of Lucky Dino is December 31. As a result of the difference in the year ends: (a) the consolidated results of Lucky Dino for the three months ended September 30, 2020 are included more than once in the pro forma financial information; and (b) the consolidated results of Lucky Dino for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 are excluded from the pro forma financial information. The revenue and net income of Lucky Dino for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $5,818,094 and $68,816 respectively. The revenue and net income of Lucky Dino for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $12,732,985 and $917,205, respectively.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Note 1 - Description of Transaction

 

On March 1, 2021, Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its acquisition of the operating assets and specified liabilities that comprise the online gaming operations of Lucky Dino Gaming Limited, a company registered in Malta, and Hiidenkivi Estonia OU, its wholly owned subsidiary registered in Estonia (collectively referred to as “Lucky Dino”). Lucky Dino is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority to operate online casinos under four brands, namely luckydino.com, casinojefe.com, kalevalakasino.com, and olaspill.com. The acquisition of the assets of Lucky Dino (“Lucky Dino Asset Purchase”) was completed in accordance with an asset purchase agreement dated December 14, 2020 resulting in the payment of cash by the Company of €25,000,000 (approximately $30,645,000 using exchange rates in effect at the acquisition date). The purchase price of Lucky Dino was substantially financed through the issuance of common stock to certain investors (herein referred to as the “Lucky Dino Equity Financing”). The Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a price per share of $15.00 and raised net proceeds of $27,340,000 after deducting underwriting fees and offering expenses of $2,660,000.

 

Note 2 - Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the Lucky Dino Asset Purchase as if the acquisition occurred on December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended June 30, 2020 and the six months ended December 31, 2020 give effect to the Lucky Dino acquisition as if it had occurred on July 1, 2019.

 

The Company and Lucky Dino have different fiscal year-ends. The Company’s fiscal year ends on June 30, whereas Lucky Dino’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared utilizing period ends that are within 93 days, as permitted by Rule 11-02 Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company at December 31, 2020 with the historical unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Lucky Dino as of September 30, 2020. The historical unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended June 30, 2020 combines the Company’s historical audited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended June 30, 2020 with the results of Lucky Dino derived by adding the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income of Lucky Dino for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to its historical audited consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2019, and then subtracting the historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The historical unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended December 31, 2020 combines the Company’s historical unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended December 31, 2020 with the historical unaudited condensed consolidated results of Lucky Dino during the same six month period.

 

The Lucky Dino Asset Purchase was determined to qualify as a business combination. The acquisition accounting included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is preliminary and will change in connection with the work being performed by a third-party valuation specialist. While the Company has engaged a valuation specialist to estimate the fair value of identifiable intangible assets, the valuation requires the Company to provide additional information to determine preliminary values. As a result, differences between the acquisition accounting included in the pro forma financial information and the final acquisition accounting could be material.

 

Note 3 – Accounting Policies

 

The accounting policies of the Company may vary materially from those of Lucky Dino. During preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the Company has performed a preliminary analysis and is not aware of any material differences, and accordingly, this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes no material differences in accounting policies between the two companies other than the pro forma reclassifications detailed in Note 4. Following the acquisition date, the Company will conduct a final review of Lucky Dino’s accounting policies in order to determine if differences in accounting policies require adjustment or reclassification of Lucky Dino’s results of operations or reclassification of assets or liabilities to conform to the accounting policies and classifications of the Company. As a result of this review, the Company may identify differences that when adjusted or reclassified, could have a material impact on this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

b)Represents the estimate of goodwill resulting from the Lucky Dino Asset Purchase determined using the purchase consideration of $30,645,000 and net assets acquired of Lucky Dino of $78,383 at September 30, 2020. The estimate of goodwill is subject to change materially in connection with the work being performed by a third-party valuation specialist as it relates to determination of the fair value for the identifiable intangible assets acquired in the transaction.

A transaction accounting adjustment is recorded to Other receivables in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet to reflect deposits payable to the Company for the Player liability and jackpot liabilities that were assumed at closing.
