Basis Of Preparation | ||
Basis of preparation | 2. Basis of preparation (a) Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2022 (including comparatives) were approved and authorized for issue by the board of directors on November 29, 2022. (b) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Company controls an investee if and only if the Company has all the following: (a) power over the investee. (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. All transactions and balances between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealized gains and losses on transactions between companies. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Company’s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. The Company’s material subsidiaries as of August 31, 2022, are as follows: Schedule of material subsidiaries Name of Subsidiary Country of Incorporation Ownership Percentage Functional Currency Frankly Inc. Canada 100 Canadian Dollar Stream Hatchet S.L. Spain 100 Euro SideQik, Inc. USA 100 US Dollar Non-controlling interests are measured initially at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. Changes in the Company’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest. The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred including the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, over the fair value of the Company’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Company obtains complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date – and is subject to a maximum of one year. The Company elects on a transaction-by-transaction basis whether to measure non-controlling interest at its fair value, or at its proportionate share of the recognized amount of the identifiable net assets, at the acquisition date. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred, unless they qualify to be treated as debt issue costs, or as cost of issuing equity securities. (c) Basis of presentation These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. (d) Functional and presentation currency The functional currency of the Company is the US Dollar (“USD). The functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries are disclosed in Note 2(b). The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is the US Dollar (“USD”). (e) Reclassifications For comparability, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with fiscal 2022 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on Net loss or shareholders’ deficiency. | 2.

USA 100 US Dollar Non-controlling interests are measured initially at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Entities over which the Company exercises significant influence are associates and are accounted for by the equity method. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee. Significant influence is assumed to exist where the Company holds, directly or indirectly, at least a 20 Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method, where the investment is initially recognized at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the profit or loss, other comprehensive income and equity movements of the investee after the date of acquisition. Any goodwill or fair value adjustment attributable to the Company’s share in the equity accounted investee is included in the amount recognized as investment. When the Company’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term investments, is reduced to nil, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Company has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method under IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest. The excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred including the recognized amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, over the fair value of the Company’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Significant Judgments Estimates And Assumptions | ||
Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions | 3. Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates and form assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as at the date of the consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgments and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Management uses historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the given circumstances as the basis for its judgments and estimates. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Significant estimates and judgments made by management in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are outlined below. The assessment of the Company’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements involves judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 (a) Significant estimates and critical judgments Information about significant estimates and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes: Note 1 Going concern Note 30 Expected credit losses Note 21 Valuation of warrant liability Note 6 Business acquisitions Note 13 and 14 Goodwill and intangible assets Note 23 and 24 Valuation of share-based payments Note 20 Convertible debt Note 26 Contingencies (b) Update on the effects of COVID-19 In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged and has since extensively impacted global health and the economic environment. To contain the spread of COVID-19, domestic and international governments around the world enacted various measures, including orders to close all businesses not deemed “essential,” quarantine orders for individuals to stay in their homes or places of residence, and to practice social distancing when engaging in essential activities. The Company anticipates that these actions and the global health crisis caused by COVID-19 will continue to negatively impact many business activities and financial markets across the globe. In an effort to protect the health and safety of our employees, much of the Company’s workforce is currently working from home. The Company has implemented business continuity plans and has increased support and resources to enable employees to work remotely and thus far has been able to operate with minimal disruption. The global COVID-19 pandemic remains an evolving situation. The Company will continue to actively monitor the developments of the pandemic and may take further actions that could alter business operations as may be required by federal, state, local, or foreign authorities, or that management determines are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and shareholders. It is not clear what effects any such potential actions may have on the Company’s business, including the effects on our employees, players and consumers, customers, partners, development and content pipelines, the Company’s reputation, financial condition, results of operations, revenue, cash flows, liquidity or stock price. | |

The Company anticipates that these actions and the global health crisis caused by COVID-19 will continue to negatively impact many business activities and financial markets across the globe. In an effort to protect the health and safety of our employees, much of the Company’s workforce is currently working from home. The Company has implemented business continuity plans and has increased support and resources to enable employees to work remotely and thus far has been able to operate with minimal disruption. The global COVID-19 pandemic remains an evolving situation. The Company will continue to actively monitor the developments of the pandemic and may take further actions that could alter business operations as may be required by federal, state, local, or foreign authorities, or that management determines are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and shareholders. It is not clear what effects any such potential actions may have on the Company’s business, including the effects on our employees, players and consumers, customers, partners, development and content pipelines, the Company’s reputation, financial condition, results of operations, revenue, cash flows, liquidity or stock price. |

Significant accounting policies | 5. Significant accounting policies (a) Foreign currency translation The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is disclosed in Note 2(b). The presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements is the US Dollar (“USD”). The financial statements of entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into US dollars as follows: assets and liabilities at the closing rate at the date of the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position and income and expenses at the average rate of the year (as this is considered a reasonable approximation of the actual rates prevailing at the transaction dates). All resulting changes are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) as foreign currency translation adjustments, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interest. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of each entity using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss. (b) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of its services to a customer. The following provides information about the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in contracts with customers, including significant payment terms and related revenue recognition policies: i) Software-as-a-service The Company enters into license agreements with customers for its content management system, video software, and mobile applications (Frankly), e-sports data platform (Stream Hatchet) and an influencer marketing platform (SideQik). These license agreements, generally non-cancellable, without paying a termination penalty, and multiyear, provide the customer with the right to use the Company’s application solely on a Company-hosted platform or, in certain instances, on purchased encoders. The license agreements also entitle the customer to technical support. Revenue from these license agreements is recognized ratably over the license term. Early termination fees are recognized when customer ceases use of agreed upon services prior to the expiration of their contract. These fees are recognized in full on the date the customer has completed their migration of the Company’s solutions and there is no continuing service obligation to the customer. The Company charges its customers for the optional use of its content delivery network to stream and store videos. The revenue is recognized as earned based on the actual usage because it has stand-alone value and delivery is in control of the customer. The Company also charges its customers for the use of its ad serving platform to serve ads under local advertising campaigns. The Company reports revenue as earned based on the actual usage. ii) Advertising Under national advertising agreements with advertisers, the Company sources, creates, and places advertising campaigns that run across the Company’s network of publisher sites. National advertising revenue, net of third-party costs, is shared with publishers based on their respective contractual agreements. The Company invoices national advertising amounts due from advertisers and remits payments to publishers for their share. Depending on the agreement with the publisher, the obligation to remit payment to the publisher is based on either billing to the advertiser or the collection of cash from the advertiser. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 National advertising revenue is recognized in the period during which the ad impressions are delivered. The Company reports revenue earned through national advertising agreements either on a net or gross basis. The Company applies judgement in recognizing revenue earned through national advertising agreements on a net or gross basis based on the criteria as disclosed below. Under national advertising agreements wherein the Company does not bear inventory risk and only has credit risk on its portion of the revenue, national advertising revenues are accounted for on a net basis and the publisher is identified as the customer. In select national advertising agreements with its publishers, the Company takes on inventory risk and additional credit risk. Under these agreements, the Company either a) provides the publisher with a guaranteed minimum gross selling price per advertising unit delivered, wherein the greater of the actual selling price or guaranteed minimum selling price is used in determining the publisher’s share or b) provides the publisher with a fixed rate per advertising unit delivered, wherein the publisher is paid the fixed rate per advertising unit delivered irrespective of the actual selling price. Under these national advertising agreements, national advertising revenues are accounted for on a gross basis with the advertiser identified as the customer and the publisher identified as a supplier, with amounts billed to the advertiser reported as revenue and amounts due to the publisher reported as a revenue sharing expense, within expenses. Also included in advertising revenue is advertising revenue generated by the Company’s various owned and operated properties. The Company assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. When the Company acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as the principal in a transaction, the revenue recognized is the net amount of commission made by the Company. Deferred revenue consists of customer advances for Company services to be rendered that will be recognized as income in future periods. (c) Cash and equivalents, and restricted cash The “cash and cash equivalents” category consists of cash in banks, call deposits and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less. Any investments in securities, investments with initial maturities greater than three months without early redemption feature and bank accounts subject to restrictions, other than restrictions due to regulations specific to a country or activity sector (exchange controls, etc.) are not presented as cash equivalents but as financial assets. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash is presented as a separate category on the statement of financial position and consists of cash in a bank account restricted for use in the WinView Inc. businesses (Note 18). (d) Accounts and other receivables Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less provision for impairment of trade accounts receivable. A provision for impairment of trade accounts receivable is established based on a forward-looking “expected loss” impairment model. The carrying amount of the trade receivables is reduced using the provision for impairment account, and the amount of any increase in the provision for impairment is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the provision for impairment account for trade accounts receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 (e) Property and equipment Property and equipment are carried at historical cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes the acquisition cost or production cost as well as the costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its use in operations. When property and equipment include significant components with different useful lives, they are recorded and depreciated separately. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line and declining balance methods based on the estimated useful life of the assets. Useful life is reviewed at the end of each reporting period. After initial recognition, the cost model is applied to property and equipment. Where parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property and equipment. The Company recognizes in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss as an expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual value on the straight-line and declining balance methods, over the estimated useful lives, as follows. Schedule of estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment Computer equipment 3 Furniture and fixtures 5 Leasehold improvements Term of the lease, plus one renewal (f) Goodwill Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any. (g) Intangible assets Intangible assets include acquired software used in production or administration and brand names and customer relationships that qualify for recognition as an intangible asset in a business combination. They are accounted for using the cost model whereby capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as these assets are considered finite. Residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date. The useful lives of the intangibles are as follows: Schedule of useful lives of intangibles Software 3 5 Brands 1 20 Customer relationships 1 10 Patents 5 Application platforms 3 Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and install the specific software. Subsequent expenditure on brands is expensed as incurred. Costs associated with maintaining computer software (expenditure relating to patches and other minor updates as well as their installation), are expensed as incurred. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 Patents and Application platforms with a finite useful life that are acquired in an asset acquisition are initially recognized on the basis of their relative fair value at the acquisition date. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life, which is generally up to 5 years. Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset less its residual value. Amortization expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. Other intangible assets, such as brands, that are acquired by the Company are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Expenditures on internally generated brands, mastheads or editorial pages, publishing titles, customer lists and items similar in substance is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss as an expense as incurred. Research costs are expensed when incurred. Development costs are capitalized when the feasibility and profitability of the project can be reasonably considered certain. Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design to produce new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalized if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Company has sufficient resources to complete development. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditure is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss as an expense as incurred. Capitalized development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. (h) Impairment of property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill i) Timing of impairment testing The carrying values of property and equipment and finite life intangible assets are assessed at the reporting date as to whether there is any indication that the assets may be impaired. Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or when there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. ii) Impairment testing If any indication of impairment exists or when the annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset relates to determine the extent of any impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use (“VIU”) to the Company. In assessing VIU, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are considered, if available. If the recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. For impaired assets, excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 (i) Leases The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (such as tablets and personal computers, small items of office furniture and telephones). For these leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise: ● Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; ● Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; ● The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under any residual value guarantees; ● The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and ● Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The Company remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever: ● The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. ● The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used). ● A lease contract is modified, and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification. The Company did not make any such adjustments during the periods presented. The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Company applies IAS 36 Impairment of Assets Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in the line “other expenses” in profit or loss. As a practical expedient, IFRS 16 Leases (j) Issuance of Units The Company issues units that consist of shares and warrants. The fair value is allocated to the shares and warrants utilizing the relative fair value method. (k) Financial instruments Financial assets Recognition and Initial Measurement The Company recognizes financial assets when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition of financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss when incurred. Classification and Subsequent Measurement On initial recognition, financial assets and liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The Company determines the classification of its financial assets, together with any embedded derivatives, based on the business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Financial assets are classified as follows: ● Amortized cost - Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest revenue is calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment, foreign exchange and derecognition are recognized in profit or loss. Financial assets measured at amortized cost are comprised of cash, restricted cash, accounts and other receivables and advances. ● Fair value through other comprehensive income - Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, and for which the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment and foreign exchange are recognized in profit or loss. All other changes in the carrying amount of the financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. The Company does not hold any financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 ● Mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss - Assets that do not meet the criteria to be measured at amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income, are measured at fair value through profit or loss. All interest income and changes in the financial assets’ carrying amount are recognized in profit or loss. Financial assets measured mandatorily at fair value through profit and loss include publisher advance, promissory notes receivable and investment at FVTPL. ● Designated at fair value through profit or loss – On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset to be measured at fair value through profit or loss in order to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognizing the gains and losses on them, on different bases. All interest income and changes in the financial assets’ carrying amount are recognized in profit or loss. Business Model Assessment The Company assesses the objective of its business model for holding a financial asset at a level of aggregation which best reflects the way the business is managed, and the way information is provided to management. Information considered in this assessment includes stated policies and objectives. Contractual Cash Flow Assessment The cash flows of financial assets are assessed as to whether they are solely payments of principal and interest on the basis of their contractual terms. For this purpose, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money, the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding, and other basic lending risks and costs. In performing this assessment, the Company considers factors that would alter the timing and amount of cash flows such as prepayment and extension features, terms that might limit the Company’s claim to cash flows, and any features that modify consideration for the time value of money. Impairment The Company recognizes a loss allowance for the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets, other than financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are measured to reflect a probability-weighted amount, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information regarding past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company applies the simplified approach for accounts receivable. Using the simplified approach, the Company records a loss allowance equal to the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the assets’ contractual lifetime. The Company assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired at the reporting date. Regular indicators that a financial instrument is credit-impaired include significant financial difficulties as evidenced through borrowing patterns or observed balances in other accounts and breaches of borrowing contracts such as default events or breaches of borrowing covenants. For financial assets assessed as credit-impaired at the reporting date, the Company continues to recognize a loss allowance equal to lifetime expected credit losses. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, loss allowances for expected credit losses are presented in the statement of financial position as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. Financial assets are written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering all or any portion thereof. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 Derecognition of Financial Assets The Company derecognizes a financial asset when its contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire. Financial Liabilities Recognition and Initial Measurement The Company recognizes a financial liability when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Company measures financial liabilities at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their issuance, except for financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss for which transaction costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. ● Amortized cost - Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost unless they fall into one of the following categories: financial liabilities at FVTPL, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition, financial guarantee contracts, or commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, or contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination. The Company’s accounts payable, accrued liabilities, players liability account, line of credit, long-term debt and promissory notes payable do not fall into any of the exemptions and are therefore classified as measured at amortized cost. ● Financial liabilities recorded at FVTPL - Financial liabilities are classified as FVTPL if they fall into one of the five exemptions detailed above, or they are derivatives or they are designated as such on initial recognition. The Company’s warrants that are not issued in exchange for goods or services and have characteristics of derivative financial liabilities as a result of the warrants having an exercise price in a currency different from the functional currency of the Company, are measured as financial liabilities at FVTPL. The Company’s convertible debt is designated as financial liabilities at FVTPL. Transaction costs Transaction costs associated with financial instruments, carried at FVTPL, are expensed as incurred, while transaction costs associated with all other financial instruments are included or deducted from the initial carrying amount of the asset or the liability. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 Subsequent measurement Instruments classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in profit or loss. Instruments classified as amortized cost are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Instruments classified as FVTOCI are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Derecognition of financial liabilities The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled, or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any noncash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss. Fair value measurement The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs used in the measurement. Level 1: This level includes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date. Level 2: This level includes valuations determined using directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Level 3: This level includes valuations based on inputs which are unobservable. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. (l) Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits include wages, salaries, compensated absences, profit-sharing and bonuses. Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognized in salaries and wages expense as the related service is provided or capitalized if the service rendered is in connection with the creation of an asset. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 (m) Income taxes Income tax on the profit or loss for the periods presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years. Deferred tax is provided using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, associates, and jointly controlled entities to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position reporting date applicable to the period of expected realization or settlement. A deferred tax asset is recognize | 5. Significant accounting policies (a) Foreign currency translation The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is disclosed in Note 2 The financial statements of entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into US dollars as follows: assets and liabilities at the closing rate at the date of the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position and income and expenses at the average rate of the year (as this is considered a reasonable approximation of the actual rates prevailing at the transaction dates). All resulting changes are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) as foreign currency translation adjustments, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interest. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of each entity using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than an entity’s functional currency are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss. (b) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of its services to a customer. The following provides information about the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in contracts with customers, including significant payment terms and related revenue recognition policies: i) Games development Game development income is derived from the development and sale of gaming applications. Revenue from game development is recognized by reference to the stage of completion. Stage of completion is measured by reference to actual costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract. ii) Direct to Consumer Sponsorship, tournament and event income is income directly associated with an e-sport or sporting event or tournament. Sponsorship, tournament and event income is recognized upon completion of the underlying event. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) iii) Software-as-a-service The Company enters into license agreements with customers for its content management system, video software, and mobile applications (Frankly), e-sports data platform (Stream Hatchet) and an influencer marketing platform (SideQik). These license agreements, generally non-cancellable, without paying a termination penalty, and multiyear, provide the customer with the right to use the Company’s application solely on a Company-hosted platform or, in certain instances, on purchased encoders. The license agreements also entitle the customer to technical support. Revenue from these license agreements is recognized ratably over the license term. Early termination fees are recognized when customer ceases use of agreed upon services prior to the expiration of their contract. These fees are recognized in full on the date the customer has completed their migration of the Company’s solutions and there is no continuing service obligation to the customer. The Company charges its customers for the optional use of its content delivery network to stream and store videos. The revenue is recognized as earned based on the actual usage because it has stand-alone value and delivery is in control of the customer. The Company also charges its customers for the use of its ad serving platform to serve ads under local advertising campaigns. The Company reports revenue as earned based on the actual usage. iv) Advertising Under national advertising agreements with advertisers, the Company sources, creates, and places advertising campaigns that run across the Company’s network of publisher sites. National advertising revenue, net of third-party costs, is shared with publishers based on their respective contractual agreements. The Company invoices national advertising amounts due from advertisers and remits payments to publishers for their share.

Under these national advertising agreements, national advertising revenues are accounted for on a gross basis with the advertiser identified as the customer and the publisher identified as a supplier, with amounts billed to the advertiser reported as revenue and amounts due to the publisher reported as a revenue sharing expense, within expenses. Also included in advertising revenue is advertising revenue generated by the Company’s various owned and operated properties. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) v) Professional services Professional services consist primarily of installation and website design services (Frankly) and data analysis report delivery (Steam Hatchet). Installation fees are contracted on a fixed-fee basis. The Company recognizes revenue as services are performed. Such services are readily available from other vendors and are not considered essential to the functionality of the service. Website design services are also not considered essential to the functionality of the product and have historically been insignificant; the fee allocable to website design is recognized as revenue as the Company performs the services. The Company assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. When the Company acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as the principal in a transaction, the revenue recognized is the net amount of commission made by the Company. Deferred revenue consists of customer advances for Company services to be rendered that will be recognized as income in future periods. (c) Cash and equivalents, and restricted cash The “cash and cash equivalents” category consists of cash in banks, call deposits and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less. Any investments in securities, investments with initial maturities greater than three months without early redemption feature and bank accounts subject to restrictions, other than restrictions due to regulations specific to a country or activity sector (exchange controls, etc.) are not presented as cash equivalents but as financial assets. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash is presented as a separate category on the statement of financial position and consists of cash in a bank account restricted for use in the UMG Media Ltd. and WinView Inc. businesses (Note 17) (d) Accounts and other receivables Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less provision for impairment of trade accounts receivable. A provision for impairment of trade accounts receivable is established based on a forward-looking “expected loss” impairment model. The carrying amount of the trade receivables is reduced using the provision for impairment account, and the amount of any increase in the provision for impairment is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the provision for impairment account for trade accounts receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. (e) Property and equipment Property and equipment are carried at historical cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes the acquisition cost or production cost as well as the costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its use in operations. When property and equipment include significant components with different useful lives, they are recorded and depreciated separately. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line and declining balance methods based on the estimated useful life of the assets. Useful life is reviewed at the end of each reporting period. After initial recognition, the cost model is applied to property and equipment. Where parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property and equipment. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) The Company recognizes in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss as an expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual value on the straight-line and declining balance methods, over the estimated useful lives, as follows. Schedule of estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment Computer equipment 3 Furniture and fixtures 5 Leasehold improvements Term of the lease, plus one renewal (f) Goodwill Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any. (g) Intangible assets Intangible assets include acquired software used in production or administration and brand names and customer relationships that qualify for recognition as an intangible asset in a business combination. They are accounted for using the cost model whereby capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as these assets are considered finite. Residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date. The useful lives of the intangibles are as follows: Schedule of useful lives of intangibles Software 3 5 Brands 1 20 Customer relationships 1 10 Patents 5 Application platforms 3 Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and install the specific software. Subsequent expenditure on brands is expensed as incurred. Costs associated with maintaining computer software (expenditure relating to patches and other minor updates as well as their installation), are expensed as incurred. Patents and Application platforms with a finite useful life that are acquired in an asset acquisition are initially recognized on the basis of their relative fair value at the acquisition date. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life, which is generally up to 5 years. Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset less its residual value. Amortization expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. Other intangible assets, such as brands, that are acquired by the Company are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Expenditures on internally generated brands, mastheads or editorial pages, publishing titles, customer lists and items similar in substance is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss as an expense as incurred. Research costs are expensed when incurred. Development costs are capitalized when the feasibility and profitability of the project can be reasonably considered certain. Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design to produce new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalized if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Company has sufficient resources to complete development. The expenditure capitalized includes the cost of materials, direct labor and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other development expenditure is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss as an expense as incurred. Capitalized development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) (h) Impairment of property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill i) Timing of impairment testing The carrying values of property and equipment and finite life intangible assets are assessed at the reporting date as to whether there is any indication that the assets may be impaired. Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or when there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. ii) Impairment testing If any indication of impairment exists or when the annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset relates to determine the extent of any impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use (“VIU”) to the Company. In assessing VIU, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are considered, if available. If the recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. For impaired assets, excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed. (i) Leases The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (such as tablets and personal computers, small items of office furniture and telephones). For these leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise: ● Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; ● Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; ● The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under any residual value guarantees; ● The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and ● Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The Company remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever: ● The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. ● The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used). ● A lease contract is modified, and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification. The Company did not make any such adjustments during the periods presented. The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Company applies IAS 36 Impairment to determine whether a right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any identified impairment loss as described in the ‘property and equipment’ policy. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in the line “other expenses” in profit or loss. As a practical expedient, IFRS 16 Leases permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The Company has not used this practical expedient. For contracts that contain a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. (j) Financial instruments Financial assets Recognition and Initial Measurement The Company recognizes financial assets when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition of financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss when incurred. Classification and Subsequent Measurement On initial recognition, financial assets and liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The Company determines the classification of its financial assets, together with any embedded derivatives, based on the business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Financial assets are classified as follows: ● Amortized cost - Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest revenue is calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment, foreign exchange and derecognition are recognized in profit or loss. Financial assets measured at amortized cost are comprised of cash, restricted cash, accounts and other receivables and advances. ● Fair value through other comprehensive income - Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, and for which the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment and foreign exchange are recognized in profit or loss. All other changes in the carrying amount of the financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. The Company does not hold any financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) ● Mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss - Assets that do not meet the criteria to be measured at amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income, are measured at fair value through profit or loss. All interest income and changes in the financial assets’ carrying amount are recognized in profit or loss. None of the Company’s assets fall under this category. ● Designated at fair value through profit or loss – On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset to be measured at fair value through profit or loss in order to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognizing the gains and losses on them, on different bases. All interest income and changes in the financial assets’ carrying amount are recognized in profit or loss. Business Model Assessment The Company assesses the objective of its business model for holding a financial asset at a level of aggregation which best reflects the way the business is managed, and the way information is provided to management. Information considered in this assessment includes stated policies and objectives. Contractual Cash Flow Assessment The cash flows of financial assets are assessed as to whether they are solely payments of principal and interest on the basis of their contractual terms. For this purpose, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money, the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding, and other basic lending risks and costs. In performing this assessment, the Company considers factors that would alter the timing and amount of cash flows such as prepayment and extension features, terms that might limit the Company’s claim to cash flows, and any features that modify consideration for the time value of money. Impairment The Company recognizes a loss allowance for the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets, other than financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are measured to reflect a probability-weighted amount, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information regarding past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company applies the simplified approach for accounts receivable. Using the simplified approach, the Company records a loss allowance equal to the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the assets’ contractual lifetime. The Company assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired at the reporting date. Regular indicators that a financial instrument is credit-impaired include significant financial difficulties as evidenced through borrowing patterns or observed balances in other accounts and breaches of borrowing contracts such as default events or breaches of borrowing covenants. For financial assets assessed as credit-impaired at the reporting date, the Company continues to recognize a loss allowance equal to lifetime expected credit losses. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, loss allowances for expected credit losses are presented in the statement of financial position as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. Financial assets are written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering all or any portion thereof. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) Derecognition of Financial Assets The Company derecognizes a financial asset when its contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire. Financial Liabilities Recognition and Initial Measurement The Company recognizes a financial liability when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Company measures financial liabilities at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their issuance, except for financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss for which transaction costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. ● Amortized cost - Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost unless they fall into one of the following categories: financial liabilities at FVTPL, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition, financial guarantee contracts, or commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, or contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination. The Company’s accounts payable, accrued liabilities, players liability account, lease obligation, line of credit, long-term debt, promissory notes payable and deferred purchase consideration do not fall into any of the exemptions and are therefore classified as measured at amortized cost. ● Financial liabilities recorded at FVTPL - Financial liabilities are classified as FVTPL if they fall into one of the five exemptions detailed above, or they are derivatives or they are designated as such on initial recognition. The Company’s warrants that are not issued in exchange for goods or services and have characteristics of derivative financial liabilities as a result of the warrants having an exercise price in a currency different from the functional currency of the Company, are measured as financial liabilities at FVTPL. The Company’s convertible debt is designated as financial liabilities at FVTPL. Transaction costs Transaction costs associated with financial instruments, carried at FVTPL, are expensed as incurred, while transaction costs associated with all other financial instruments are included or deducted from the initial carrying amount of the asset or the liability. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) Subsequent measurement Instruments classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in profit or loss. Instruments classified as amortized cost are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Instruments classified as FVTOCI are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Derecognition of financial liabilities The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled, or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any noncash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss. Fair value measurement The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs used in the measurement. Level 1: This level includes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date. Level 2: This level includes valuations determined using directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Level 3: This level includes valuations based on inputs which are unobservable. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Financial Instruments And Risk Management | ||
Financial instruments and risk management | 30. Financial instruments and risk management (a) Financial risk management objectives and policies The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk and other price risk. These financial instrument risks are actively managed by the Company under the policies approved by the Board of Directors. On an ongoing basis, the finance department actively manages market conditions with a view to minimizing the exposure of the Company to changing market factors, while at the same time limiting the funding costs to the Company. There have been no changes in objectives, policies or how the Company manages these risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes. The Board’s main objectives for managing risks are to ensure liquidity, the fulfillment of obligations and limited exposure to credit and market risks while ensuring greater returns on any surplus funds. (b) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a loss for the other party by failing to pay for its obligation resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company uses information supplied by independent rating agencies where available, and if not available, the Company uses other publicly available financial information and its own records to rate its customers. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 Credit risk arises from cash with banks as well as credit exposure to outstanding receivables. The carrying amounts represent the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect to accounts receivable. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified. The collective loss allowance is determined based on historical data of payment statistics for similar financial assets. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 1,155,638 1,084,305 The Company’s accounts receivable are concentrated among customers in the media and broadcasting industry, which may be affected by adverse economic factors impacting that industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its major customers, maintains reserves for expected credit losses, and does not require any collateral deposits. As of August 31, 2022, one customer (2021 - one) accounted for greater than 10 16 13 72 60 The below table reflects the aging of the Company’s aging by invoice date of gross trade accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts as of August 31, 2022: Schedule of trade accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts Current 0 - 30 31 - 60 61 - 90 91+ Total Trade accounts receivable 6,805,057 202,359 428,098 305,056 2,010,049 9,750,619 Allowance for doubtful accounts 12,753 3,577 17,423 9,790 1,312,095 1,355,638 % Allowance 2 % 4 % 3 % 65 % 14 % (c) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk with respect to its contractual obligations and financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows and matching maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Company seeks to ensure that it has sufficient capital to meet short term financial obligations after taking into account its operating obligations and cash on hand. The Company’s policy is to seek to ensure adequate funding is available from operations and other sources, including debt and equity capital markets, as required. Schedule of funding available from operations and other sources < 1 year 1-2 years $ $ Accounts payable 12,772,375 - Accrued liabilities 3,756,758 - Players liability account 47,455 - Promissory notes payable 771,762 - Convertible debt 2,267,367 4,983,236 Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 (d) Market Risk Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial market prices, including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, and other relevant market or price risks. The Company does not use derivative instruments to mitigate this risk. Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to fair value risk with respect to debt which bears interest at fixed rates. Currency Risk The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to fluctuations of financial instruments related to cash, accounts and other receivables, and accounts payable denominated in Euros, as well as debt denominated in Canadian dollars. (e) Fair value hierarchy The following tables combine information about: ● classes of financial instruments based on their nature and characteristics; ● the carrying amounts of financial instruments; ● fair values of financial instruments (except financial instruments when carrying amount approximates their fair value); and ● fair value hierarchy levels of financial assets and financial liabilities for which fair value was disclosed. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows: ■ Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; ■ Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; or ■ Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Financial instruments and risk management (a) Financial risk management objectives and policies The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. These financial instrument risks are actively managed by the Company under the policies approved by the Board of Directors. On an ongoing basis, the finance department actively manages market conditions with a view to minimizing the exposure of the Company to changing market factors, while at the same time limiting the funding costs to the Company. (b) Credit risk Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company uses information supplied by independent rating agencies where available, and if not available, the Company uses other publicly available financial information and its own records to rate its customers. Credit risk arises from cash with banks as well as credit exposure to outstanding receivables. The carrying amounts represent the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect to accounts receivable. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures, and a collective loss component established for groups of similar assets in respect of losses that have been incurred but not yet identified. The collective loss allowance is determined based on historical data of payment statistics for similar financial assets. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $ 1,084,305 874,438 Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) The Company’s accounts receivable are concentrated among customers in the media and broadcasting industry, which may be affected by adverse economic factors impacting that industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its major customers, maintains reserves for expected credit losses, and does not require any collateral deposits. As of August 31, 2021, one customer (2020 - one) accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. In total, this one customer (2020 - one) accounted for 13 60 50 The below table reflects the aging of the Company’s aging by invoice date of gross trade accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts as of August 31, 2021: Schedule of gross trade accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts 0 - 30 31 - 60 61 - 90 91+ Total Trade accounts receivable 7,376,270 210,815 265,377 1,825,263 9,677,725 Allowance for doubtful accounts 3,000 1,500 1,500 1,078,305 1,084,305 % Allowance 0 % 1 % 1 % 59 % 11 % (c) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk with respect to its contractual obligations and financial liabilities. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows and matching maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Company seeks to ensure that it has sufficient capital to meet short term financial obligations after taking into account its operating obligations and cash on hand. The Company’s policy is to seek to ensure adequate funding is available from operations and other sources, including debt and equity capital markets, as required.

The Company is exposed to fair value risk with respect to debt which bears interest at fixed rates. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) (e) Foreign exchange rates The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to fluctuations of financial instruments related to cash, accounts and other receivables, and accounts payable denominated in Euros and GBP, as well as debt denominated in Canadian dollars. (f) Fair value hierarchy The following tables combine information about: ● classes of financial instruments based on their nature and characteristics; ● the carrying amounts of financial instruments; ● fair values of financial instruments (except financial instruments when carrying amount approximates their fair value); and ● fair value hierarchy levels of financial assets and financial liabilities for which fair value was disclosed.

Revenue recognition | (b) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of its services to a customer. The following provides information about the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in contracts with customers, including significant payment terms and related revenue recognition policies: i) Software-as-a-service The Company enters into license agreements with customers for its content management system, video software, and mobile applications (Frankly), e-sports data platform (Stream Hatchet) and an influencer marketing platform (SideQik). These license agreements, generally non-cancellable, without paying a termination penalty, and multiyear, provide the customer with the right to use the Company’s application solely on a Company-hosted platform or, in certain instances, on purchased encoders. The license agreements also entitle the customer to technical support. Revenue from these license agreements is recognized ratably over the license term. Early termination fees are recognized when customer ceases use of agreed upon services prior to the expiration of their contract. These fees are recognized in full on the date the customer has completed their migration of the Company’s solutions and there is no continuing service obligation to the customer. The Company charges its customers for the optional use of its content delivery network to stream and store videos. The revenue is recognized as earned based on the actual usage because it has stand-alone value and delivery is in control of the customer. The Company also charges its customers for the use of its ad serving platform to serve ads under local advertising campaigns. The Company reports revenue as earned based on the actual usage. ii) Advertising Under national advertising agreements with advertisers, the Company sources, creates, and places advertising campaigns that run across the Company’s network of publisher sites. National advertising revenue, net of third-party costs, is shared with publishers based on their respective contractual agreements. The Company invoices national advertising amounts due from advertisers and remits payments to publishers for their share. Depending on the agreement with the publisher, the obligation to remit payment to the publisher is based on either billing to the advertiser or the collection of cash from the advertiser. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 National advertising revenue is recognized in the period during which the ad impressions are delivered. The Company reports revenue earned through national advertising agreements either on a net or gross basis. The Company applies judgement in recognizing revenue earned through national advertising agreements on a net or gross basis based on the criteria as disclosed below. Under national advertising agreements wherein the Company does not bear inventory risk and only has credit risk on its portion of the revenue, national advertising revenues are accounted for on a net basis and the publisher is identified as the customer. In select national advertising agreements with its publishers, the Company takes on inventory risk and additional credit risk. Under these agreements, the Company either a) provides the publisher with a guaranteed minimum gross selling price per advertising unit delivered, wherein the greater of the actual selling price or guaranteed minimum selling price is used in determining the publisher’s share or b) provides the publisher with a fixed rate per advertising unit delivered, wherein the publisher is paid the fixed rate per advertising unit delivered irrespective of the actual selling price. Under these national advertising agreements, national advertising revenues are accounted for on a gross basis with the advertiser identified as the customer and the publisher identified as a supplier, with amounts billed to the advertiser reported as revenue and amounts due to the publisher reported as a revenue sharing expense, within expenses. Also included in advertising revenue is advertising revenue generated by the Company’s various owned and operated properties. The Company assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. When the Company acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as the principal in a transaction, the revenue recognized is the net amount of commission made by the Company. Deferred revenue consists of customer advances for Company services to be rendered that will be recognized as income in future periods. | (b) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of its services to a customer. The following provides information about the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in contracts with customers, including significant payment terms and related revenue recognition policies: i) Games development Game development income is derived from the development and sale of gaming applications. Revenue from game development is recognized by reference to the stage of completion. Stage of completion is measured by reference to actual costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract. ii) Direct to Consumer Sponsorship, tournament and event income is income directly associated with an e-sport or sporting event or tournament. Sponsorship, tournament and event income is recognized upon completion of the underlying event. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) v) Professional services Professional services consist primarily of installation and website design services (Frankly) and data analysis report delivery (Steam Hatchet). Installation fees are contracted on a fixed-fee basis. The Company recognizes revenue as services are performed. Such services are readily available from other vendors and are not considered essential to the functionality of the service. Website design services are also not considered essential to the functionality of the product and have historically been insignificant; the fee allocable to website design is recognized as revenue as the Company performs the services. The Company assesses its revenue arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. When the Company acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as the principal in a transaction, the revenue recognized is the net amount of commission made by the Company. Deferred revenue consists of customer advances for Company services to be rendered that will be recognized as income in future periods. |

When property and equipment include significant components with different useful lives, they are recorded and depreciated separately. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line and declining balance methods based on the estimated useful life of the assets. Useful life is reviewed at the end of each reporting period. After initial recognition, the cost model is applied to property and equipment. Where parts of an item of property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property and equipment. The Company recognizes in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss as an expense as incurred.

Intangible assets | (g) Intangible assets Intangible assets include acquired software used in production or administration and brand names and customer relationships that qualify for recognition as an intangible asset in a business combination. They are accounted for using the cost model whereby capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as these assets are considered finite. Residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date. The useful lives of the intangibles are as follows: Schedule of useful lives of intangibles Software 3 5 Brands 1 20 Customer relationships 1 10 Patents 5 Application platforms 3 Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and install the specific software.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 Patents and Application platforms with a finite useful life that are acquired in an asset acquisition are initially recognized on the basis of their relative fair value at the acquisition date. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life, which is generally up to 5 years. Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset less its residual value. Amortization expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. Other intangible assets, such as brands, that are acquired by the Company are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

Impairment of property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill | (h) Impairment of property and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill i) Timing of impairment testing The carrying values of property and equipment and finite life intangible assets are assessed at the reporting date as to whether there is any indication that the assets may be impaired. Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or when there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. ii) Impairment testing If any indication of impairment exists or when the annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset or cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset relates to determine the extent of any impairment loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use (“VIU”) to the Company. In assessing VIU, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are considered, if available. If the recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. For impaired assets, excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc.

Leases | (i) Leases The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets (such as tablets and personal computers, small items of office furniture and telephones). For these leases, the Company recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise: ● Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; ● Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; ● The amount expected to be payable by the lessee under any residual value guarantees; ● The exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and ● Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease. The lease liability is presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. The Company remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) whenever: ● The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. ● The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used). ● A lease contract is modified, and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification. The Company did not make any such adjustments during the periods presented. The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use assets are presented as a separate line in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Company applies IAS 36 Impairment of Assets Variable rents that do not depend on an index or rate are not included in the measurement the lease liability and the right-of-use asset. The related payments are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers those payments occurs and are included in the line “other expenses” in profit or loss.

As a practical expedient, IFRS 16 Leases permits a lessee not to separate non-lease components, and instead account for any lease and associated non-lease components as a single arrangement. The Company has not used this practical expedient. For contracts that contain a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. |
Financial instruments | (k) Financial instruments Financial assets Recognition and Initial Measurement The Company recognizes financial assets when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition of financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss when incurred. Classification and Subsequent Measurement On initial recognition, financial assets and liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The Company determines the classification of its financial assets, together with any embedded derivatives, based on the business model for managing the financial assets and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Financial assets are classified as follows: ● Amortized cost - Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest revenue is calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment, foreign exchange and derecognition are recognized in profit or loss. Financial assets measured at amortized cost are comprised of cash, restricted cash, accounts and other receivables and advances. ● Fair value through other comprehensive income - Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, and for which the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment and foreign exchange are recognized in profit or loss. All other changes in the carrying amount of the financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. The Company does not hold any financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 ● Mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss - Assets that do not meet the criteria to be measured at amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income, are measured at fair value through profit or loss. All interest income and changes in the financial assets’ carrying amount are recognized in profit or loss. Financial assets measured mandatorily at fair value through profit and loss include publisher advance, promissory notes receivable and investment at FVTPL. ● Designated at fair value through profit or loss – On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset to be measured at fair value through profit or loss in order to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognizing the gains and losses on them, on different bases. All interest income and changes in the financial assets’ carrying amount are recognized in profit or loss. Business Model Assessment The Company assesses the objective of its business model for holding a financial asset at a level of aggregation which best reflects the way the business is managed, and the way information is provided to management. Information considered in this assessment includes stated policies and objectives. Contractual Cash Flow Assessment The cash flows of financial assets are assessed as to whether they are solely payments of principal and interest on the basis of their contractual terms. For this purpose, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money, the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding, and other basic lending risks and costs. In performing this assessment, the Company considers factors that would alter the timing and amount of cash flows such as prepayment and extension features, terms that might limit the Company’s claim to cash flows, and any features that modify consideration for the time value of money. Impairment The Company recognizes a loss allowance for the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets, other than financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. Expected credit losses are measured to reflect a probability-weighted amount, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information regarding past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company applies the simplified approach for accounts receivable. Using the simplified approach, the Company records a loss allowance equal to the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the assets’ contractual lifetime. The Company assesses whether a financial asset is credit-impaired at the reporting date. Regular indicators that a financial instrument is credit-impaired include significant financial difficulties as evidenced through borrowing patterns or observed balances in other accounts and breaches of borrowing contracts such as default events or breaches of borrowing covenants. For financial assets assessed as credit-impaired at the reporting date, the Company continues to recognize a loss allowance equal to lifetime expected credit losses. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, loss allowances for expected credit losses are presented in the statement of financial position as a deduction from the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. Financial assets are written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering all or any portion thereof. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 Derecognition of Financial Assets The Company derecognizes a financial asset when its contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire. Financial Liabilities Recognition and Initial Measurement The Company recognizes a financial liability when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Company measures financial liabilities at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their issuance, except for financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss for which transaction costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at FVTPL or at amortized cost. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. ● Amortized cost - Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost unless they fall into one of the following categories: financial liabilities at FVTPL, financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition, financial guarantee contracts, or commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, or contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination. The Company’s accounts payable, accrued liabilities, players liability account, line of credit, long-term debt and promissory notes payable do not fall into any of the exemptions and are therefore classified as measured at amortized cost. ● Financial liabilities recorded at FVTPL - Financial liabilities are classified as FVTPL if they fall into one of the five exemptions detailed above, or they are derivatives or they are designated as such on initial recognition. The Company’s warrants that are not issued in exchange for goods or services and have characteristics of derivative financial liabilities as a result of the warrants having an exercise price in a currency different from the functional currency of the Company, are measured as financial liabilities at FVTPL. The Company’s convertible debt is designated as financial liabilities at FVTPL. Transaction costs Transaction costs associated with financial instruments, carried at FVTPL, are expensed as incurred, while transaction costs associated with all other financial instruments are included or deducted from the initial carrying amount of the asset or the liability. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 Subsequent measurement Instruments classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in profit or loss. Instruments classified as amortized cost are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Instruments classified as FVTOCI are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Derecognition of financial liabilities The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled, or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any noncash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss. Fair value measurement The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs used in the measurement. Level 1: This level includes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date. Level 2: This level includes valuations determined using directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Level 3: This level includes valuations based on inputs which are unobservable. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. | (j) Financial instruments Financial assets Recognition and Initial Measurement The Company recognizes financial assets when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are measured initially at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition of financial assets subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss when incurred.

Interest income calculated using the effective interest method and gains or losses arising from impairment and foreign exchange are recognized in profit or loss. All other changes in the carrying amount of the financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss. The Company does not hold any financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) ● Mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss - Assets that do not meet the criteria to be measured at amortized cost, or fair value through other comprehensive income, are measured at fair value through profit or loss. All interest income and changes in the financial assets’ carrying amount are recognized in profit or loss. None of the Company’s assets fall under this category. ● Designated at fair value through profit or loss – On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset to be measured at fair value through profit or loss in order to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities, or recognizing the gains and losses on them, on different bases.

The Company’s accounts payable, accrued liabilities, players liability account, lease obligation, line of credit, long-term debt, promissory notes payable and deferred purchase consideration do not fall into any of the exemptions and are therefore classified as measured at amortized cost. ● Financial liabilities recorded at FVTPL - Financial liabilities are classified as FVTPL if they fall into one of the five exemptions detailed above, or they are derivatives or they are designated as such on initial recognition. The Company’s warrants that are not issued in exchange for goods or services and have characteristics of derivative financial liabilities as a result of the warrants having an exercise price in a currency different from the functional currency of the Company, are measured as financial liabilities at FVTPL. The Company’s convertible debt is designated as financial liabilities at FVTPL. Transaction costs Transaction costs associated with financial instruments, carried at FVTPL, are expensed as incurred, while transaction costs associated with all other financial instruments are included or deducted from the initial carrying amount of the asset or the liability. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. (formerly Engine Media Holdings, Inc.) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in United States Dollars) Subsequent measurement Instruments classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in profit or loss. Instruments classified as amortized cost are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Instruments classified as FVTOCI are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Derecognition of financial liabilities The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when its obligations under the financial liabilities are discharged, cancelled, or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including any noncash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss. Fair value measurement The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs used in the measurement. Level 1: This level includes assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date. Level 2: This level includes valuations determined using directly or indirectly observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Level 3: This level includes valuations based on inputs which are unobservable. Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
Short-term employee benefits | (l) Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits include wages, salaries, compensated absences, profit-sharing and bonuses. Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognized in salaries and wages expense as the related service is provided or capitalized if the service rendered is in connection with the creation of an asset. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Income taxes | (m) Income taxes Income tax on the profit or loss for the periods presented comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years. Deferred tax is provided using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit; and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, associates, and jointly controlled entities to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the financial position reporting date applicable to the period of expected realization or settlement. A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. | (l) Income taxes Income tax on the profit or loss for the periods presented comprises current and deferred tax.

Share capital | (n) Share capital Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares, share purchase options, and equity classified warrants are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. When share capital recognized as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from total equity. | (m) Share capital Common shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares, share purchase options, and equity classified warrants are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. When share capital recognized as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from total equity. Preference share capital is classified as equity if it is non-redeemable, or redeemable only at the Company’s option, and any dividends are discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognized as distributions within equity upon approval by the Company’s shareholders. Preference share capital is classified as a liability if it is redeemable on a specific date or at the option of the shareholders, or if dividend payments are not discretionary. Dividends thereon are recognized as interest expense in profit or loss as accrued. The Company’s warrants having an exercise price in the functional currency of the Company that are not issued in exchange for good and services are equity measured and the fair value at grant date for these warrants is classified within contributed surplus. |
Share-based payment | (o) Share-based payment The share-based payment plan allows Company employees and consultants to acquire shares of the Company. The fair value of share-based payment awards granted is recognized within share-based payments expense with a corresponding increase in equity. Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value is measured at grant date and each tranche is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period during which the share purchase options vest. The fair value of the share-based payment awards granted is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the awards were granted such as stock price, term, and stock volatility. At each financial position reporting date, the amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of awards, for which the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met. For each Restricted Share Units (“RSU”) granted, the Company recognizes an expense equal to the market value of a common share at the date of grant and for each common share option granted, the Company recognizes an expense equal to the fair value of the option estimated using a Black Scholes model at grant date, based on the number of RSUs/options expected to vest, recognized over the term of the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to contributed surplus. Share based payments expense is adjusted for subsequent changes in management’s estimate of the number of RSUs/options that are expected to vest. The effect of these changes is recognized in the period of the change. Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements August 31, 2022 and 2021 The Company’s warrants having an exercise price in the functional currency of the Company that are not issued in exchange for good and services are equity measured and the fair value at grant date for these warrants is classified within contributed surplus. For equity-settled share-based payment transactions, including share options and RSUs granted to officers and directors of the Company and warrants granted to advisors in a financing transaction, the Company measures the goods or services received, and the corresponding increase in contributed surplus, directly, at the fair value of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which cases, the Company measures their value, and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. | (n) Share-based payment The share-based payment plan allows Company employees and consultants to acquire shares of the Company.

Discontinued operations and assets held for sale | (p) Discontinued operations and assets held for sale A non-current asset or a group of assets and liabilities is a disposal group when the carrying amount will be recovered principally through its divestiture and not by continuing utilization. To meet this definition, the asset must be available for immediate sale, and divestiture must be highly probable. Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amounts and fair value less costs to sell. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale. Discontinued operations are presented on a single line of the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the periods reported, comprising the earnings after tax of discontinued operations until divestiture and the gain or loss after tax on sale or fair value measurement, less costs to sell the assets and liabilities making up the discontinued operations. In addition, the cash flows generated by the discontinued operations are presented on one separate line of the statement of consolidated cash flows for the periods presented. | (o) Discontinued operations and assets held for sale A non-current asset or a group of assets and liabilities is a disposal group when the carrying amount will be recovered principally through its divestiture and not by continuing utilization.

Government grants | (r) Government grants Government grants are recognized when it is probable that the grant will be received, and all conditions of the grant are complied with. When the grant is in the form of a forgivable loan, the loan is initially recognized as a deferred income liability. The Company then relieves the deferred income liability on a systematic and rational basis in those periods over which the entity recognizes the expenses that the grant is intended to offset. The Company recognizes the impact of the loan forgiveness as an offset against related expense. Assistance for operating expenses is recorded as a reduction of expenses when the assistance is receivable. A forgivable loan from government is treated as government assistance when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will meet the terms for forgiveness of the loan. If there is no reasonable assurance that the entity will meet the terms for forgiveness of the loan, the loan is recognized as a liability in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The liability would become a government grant (forgivable loan) when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will meet the terms for forgiveness. | (q) Government grants Government grants are recognized when it is probable that the grant will be received, and all conditions of the grant are complied with.
