1.5 Summary of Quarterly Results
The Company replaced the IBM Blockchain Solution with the BLAZE Protocol and launched the fully operational Platform and Live Sports Application on Blaze protocol on December 26th, 2019. The development focused in fourth quarter to the implementation of the Blaze protocol and the FANCOIN Wallet Application integration work. Blaze enables globally scalable platform rollout as it does not include transaction fees which were a cost burden on IBM Blockchain solution.
The Company has been developing the FANDOM SPORTS Platform throughout the quarters listed above and built a Blockchain protocol-based entertainment platform solution for commercial development for fiscal year 2019. Major fluctuations are due to key short-term strategic consultants, development and technology implementation and associated programs. The major fluctuation in the quarter ended January 31, 2019 is the allocation of intangibles to platform development costs.
1.6 Liquidity
At January 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $243,856 compared to working capital of $917,947 as at January 31, 2019. Working capital at January 31, 2020 consisted of: cash $540 (2019: $1,080,993), taxes recoverable $7,578 (2019: $5,229), prepaid expenses $8,080 (2019: $113,921) accounts payable and accrued liabilities $260,054 (2019: $282,196).

The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the issuance of common shares and debt. At January 31, 2020, the Company did not have sufficient working capital for its short-term corporate obligations and generation of additional capital will be required for future operations until further funding or sufficient revenue can be generated from the Company's FD Technology and mobile applications. As the Company cannot predict the time at which revenue will exceed expenses, the Company continues to seek capital through various means including the issuance of equity and/or debt. (See Note 1 of the financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2020).
In management's view, given the nature of the Company's operations, which consist of the development of the FD Technology and the mobile applications, the most relevant financial information relates primarily to current liquidity, solvency and planned development expenditures. The Company's financial success will be dependent upon the extent to which it can complete equity financing which may take longer than expected and the amount of future revenue, if any, is difficult to determine. The value of the core products is largely dependent upon many factors beyond the Company's control, including live sports and esports entertainment and media trends and marketing trends and investors' appetite for investments into small cap companies.
1.7 Capital Resources
As at January 31, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $540 (January 31, 2019 $1,080,993) to settle liabilities of $260,054 (January 31, 2019 $282,196). The Company expects to fund its liabilities, development, and operational activities over the next fiscal year with cash received from the issuance of equity securities, primarily through private placements, or from cash received from the exercise of warrants or stock options.
1.8 Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
At January 31, 2020, the Company had no material off-balance sheet arrangements such as guarantee contracts, contingent interest in assets transferred to an entity, derivative instruments obligations or any obligations that trigger financing, liquidity, market or credit risk to the Company.
1.9 Related party transactions
Related parties include the Board of Directors, officers and enterprises that are controlled by these individuals. Remuneration of key management of the Company was as follows.

On December 2, 2019, the Company closed a technology transaction for a perpetual software licensed for Blaze Protocol with $199,200 in an equity-based transaction with 12,000,000 common shares issued. The purchase of the perpetual license of BLAZE Protocol replaced Hyperledger Blockchain Solution and reduced technology operational costs, increased scalability with 50,000 TPS. The purchase of the license improves short- and long-term profitability of the operations. Blaze is a patented blockchain technology that can spawn in a 9-dimensional space. Its unique structure offers unbeatable speed and high industry adaptability. Because of its unparalleled speed and industry-defining structure, Blaze is poised to take over the microtransactions industry. Using Blaze as a payment structure for FANDOM SPORTS will open up new microtransaction

based revenue opportunities for FANDOM SPORTS. Fandom Sports was created to be scaled up to millions of users and efficiently handle the requests of these users in real-time. As the number of users increases, the number of in-app purchases will rise and will result in thousands of microtransactions per second. Hyperledger Fabric cannot support such huge volumes of transactions. When FANDOM will provide sub-licensing to other games, the number of transactions per second will increase manifold, which could not be handled by Hyperledger Fabric. Blaze has that flexibility and has a unique structure and consensus algorithm to support a large number of transactions. Blaze is carefully crafted to handle thousands of transactions per second - the most crucial requirement for microtransactions. Blaze is the easily scalable blockchain and has insurmountable speed - it is faster than the usual data systems. With its unique structure, patented governance, consensus, and crosswise transaction mechanism - Blaze offers one-ofits-kind nonlinear structural growth - making it the fastest and the most suitable to handle a large number of transactions.
On November 18, 2019 during the AGM held at the office of DSA Corporate Services, 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario and via teleconference, the shareholders voiced their concern of building the assets in the subsidiary company FANDOM SPORTS Oy. The Board acted immediately and consolidated the assets to the Public Company FANDOM SPORTS Media Corp. and strengthened the portfolio of assets with the definite agreement on perpetual license for BLAZE Protocol and Company consolidates all assets to the Public Company, Esports. Operations are managed directly under the FANDOM SPORTS Media Corp. as ESPORTS FANDOM Platform 2.0 version is launched.
On November 1, 2019 the Company filed FORM-9 at the CSE, NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OR PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF LISTED SECURITIES https://webfiles.thecse.com/CSE\_Form\_9\_- _Notice_of_Issuance_of_Securities_November_1_2019.pdf?2Mu5jBIEUJjD7jKmydwz5x2JZu_FCMWN
1.11 Proposed Transactions
There are no proposed transactions that will materially affect the performance of the Company.
1.12 Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

1.13 Adoption of New Accounting Policies
Other than those disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company has not adopted any new accounting policies.
New standards not yet adopted
Certain new standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards have been issued by the IASB or the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") but are not yet effective (as at January 31, 2020) and, accordingly, have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. The Company has not yet assessed the potential impact of these standards on its financial reporting.
1.14 Financial Instruments and Other Risks
Financial Instruments
As at January 31, 2020, the Company's financial instruments consist of cash which is carried at fair value and receivable, and accounts payable which approximate fair value because of the short term nature of these instruments.
Fair Value
The Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with an established hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs in valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities either directly or indirectly, and
Level 3 Inputs that are not based on observable market date
Cash is carried at fair value using a Level 1 fair value measurement. The carrying value of receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Risks
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and amounts receivable. Cash deposits and term deposits are maintained with a financial institution of reputable credit and are redeemable on demand. Amounts receivable consists primarily of GST returns due from Revenue Canada. The Company's opinion is that credit risk is minimal.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. At January 31, 2020, the Company had current assets of $16,198 to settle accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $260,054. Readers' attention is drawn to Note 1 of the financial statements regarding going concern issue of the Company and section 1.6 of this MD&A.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, marketing prices and/or stock market movements (price risk). Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Cash and cash equivalents bear interest at market rates. Other current financial assets and liabilities are not exposed to interest rate risk because of their short-term nature or being non-interest bearing.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the respective functional currency. The foreign currency risk for the Company is low.
Other Risks
Fandom's limited operating history
The Company has no operating history, and no history of earnings or profits. It currently has no customers or means of cash flow from operations. As such, the Company's business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of development. As the Company is in an early stage and is only introducing its service to the public, it is very difficult to evaluate the viability of the Company's business. The Company has no experience in addressing the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as the Company's target markets. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in addressing these risks and the failure to do so in any one area could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. There is no assurance that the Company's business will be a success.
Financing
In the short term, the continued operation of the Company will be dependent upon its ability to procure additional financing. The Company must obtain such financing through a combination of equity and debt financing and there can be no assurance that the Company can raise the required capital it needs to build and expand the Company's business. Without this additional financing, the Company may be unable to advance the Company's business model, and the Company will likely fail. There can be no certainty that the Company can obtain these funds, in which case any

investment in the Company may be lost. The raising of equity funding will also result in dilution of the equity position held by the Company's shareholders.
Operational Risks
The Company will be affected by a number of operational risks against which it may not be adequately insured or for which insurance is not available, including: catastrophic accidents; fires; changes in the regulatory environment; impact of non-compliance with laws and regulations; labor disputes; natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods, earthquakes and ground movements. There is no assurance that the foregoing risks and hazards will not result in damage to, or destruction of, the Company's premises, personal injury or death, environmental damage, resulting in adverse impacts on the Company's operations, costs, monetary losses, potential legal liability and future cash flows, earnings and financial condition. Also, the Company may be subject to or affected by liability or sustain loss for certain risks and hazards against which it cannot insure or which it may elect not to insure because of the cost. This lack of insurance coverage could have an adverse impact on the Company's future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.
Unforeseen Competition
There can be no assurance that significant competition will not enter the market and offer any number of similar services to those provided by the Company. Such competition could have a significant adverse effect on the growth potential of the Company's business by effectively dividing the existing market for such products and services.
Trends
The Company's success depends on the continuation of sports entertainment and media consumption popularity on mobile devices and the ability of products to add new users, sell brand sponsorship and generate revenue. Future revenues will be largely dependent on the company's ability to generate revenue from third parties advertising within the Company's products. Changes in media trends which affect user adoption and marketing habits may significantly affect the Company's ability to collect revenue in the future. If third party marketers decide that the Company's products are experimental or unproven, or if third party policies limit our ability to deliver or target advertising on mobile devices, or if adverse legal developments arise relating to advertising, including legislative and regulatory developments and developments in litigation, or if our products are unable to sustain or increase the value of our ads or marketers' ability to analyze and measure the value of our ads, or if trends for advertising on mobile devices or on personal computers changes, our advertising revenue could be adversely affected.
Dependence on Personnel
The Company's future success depends substantially on the continued services of its executive officers and its key development personnel. If one or more of its executive officers or key development personnel were unable to unwilling to continue in their present positions, the Company might not be able to replace them easily or at all. In addition, if any of its executive officers or key employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, the Company may lose know-how, key professionals and staff members.

Management of Growth
The Company may experience a period of significant growth that will place a strain upon its management systems and resources. Its future will depend in part on the ability of its officers and other key employees to implement and improve financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures on a timely basis and to expand, train motivate and manage the workforce. The Company's current and planned personnel, systems, procedures, and controls may be inadequate to support its future operations.
Data Security Risks
The Company will utilize servers with significant amounts of data stored thereon. Should the Company be responsible for the loss of any or all of the data stored by it, the liability could materially undermine the financial stability of the Company. Also, much of the data stored at the Company's premises or within the aforementioned servers will be confidential. Anyone who is able to circumvent the Company's security measures could misappropriate proprietary information or cause interruptions in its operations.
Trading of the Company's Shares
There can be no assurance of the future price of the Company shares. Further, there can be no assurance that there will be sufficient liquidity so as to permit investors to buy or sell the Company's shares at any time, in quantities desired. As noted above, the Company's continued operation will be dependent upon its ability to procure additional financing.
Dividends
The Company has not paid dividends to shareholders in the past and does not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company expects to retain its earnings to finance growth, and where appropriate, to pay down debt.
Officer and Director Conflicts
Because directors and officers of the Company and/or the Company are or may become directors or officers of other reporting companies or have significant shareholdings in other technology companies, the directors and officers of the Company may have a conflict of interest in conducting their duties. There can be no assurance such conflicts of interests will be resolved to the benefit of the Company.
COVID-19 Pandemic
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It has also disrupted the normal operations of many businesses, including ours. This outbreak could decrease spending, adversely affect demand for our products and harm our business and results of operations. It is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on our business or results of operations at this time.
