PLAYGROUND VENTURES INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Playground Ventures Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (“BCBCA”) on October 30, 2014. The Company is a developer of platforms and video game publisher that publishes video games that the Company either develop internally or engage a video game developer to develop for them. Previously known as BlocPlay Entertainment Inc., the Company changed its name to Playground Ventures Inc. on April 30, 2021. The Company’s registered office is located at 217 Queen Street West, Suite 401, Toronto, Ontario M5V 0R2, Canada. The Company’s shares trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “PLAY”.
2. GOING CONCERN
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds therefrom, and to continue to obtain equity investment and borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. The Company has a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $322,567 and $1,616,366 respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 – loss of $55,479 and $53,649 respectively). The Company’s cumulative deficit was $9,659,288 as of September 30, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $8,221,808). As the Company continues to develop its core offerings, it will require additional financing to meet its working capital requirements. The net working capital as of September 30, 2021 was $1,486,829 (December 31, 2020 - $212,365). During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company raised $2,731,198 through the issuance of 11,420,222 (September 30, 2020 – nil) common shares and 6,519,215 (September 30, 2020 – nil) warrants, and there is no guarantee of the Company’s ability to obtain future financing. These conditions cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with debt offerings and or private placement of common shares. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts on its consolidated statement of financial position. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments or reclassification of assets and liabilities which would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue its operations.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
3.1 Statement of compliance
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial reporting on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 26, 2021.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

3.2 Basis of consolidation
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Stompy Bot Productions Inc., TokenPlay Inc. (“TokenPlay”) and 1279078 BC Ltd. (“BCCo”), from the date of obtaining control, being the effective date of December 16, 2020. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Interests in associates and the joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognized at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financials statements include the Company’s share of the profit or loss of the equity accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence ceases. The investment in MotionPix Game Studio Inc. (“MotionPix”) and GG Hub Srl (“GG Hub”) is accounted for using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28.
3.3 Basis of presentation
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. In addition, these financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information.
3.4 Use of management estimates, judgments and measurement uncertainty
The preparation of these condensed interim 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 condensed interim 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 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 condensed interim consolidated financial statements are outlined below:
Going concern
Determining whether there exists material uncertainty that casts significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern requires management to exercise its judgment, in particular about its ability to obtain funds to continue operations (Note 2).
Calculation of share-based payments
The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model is used to determine the fair value for the stock options and warrants and utilizes subjective assumptions such as expected price volatility and expected life of the option or warrant. Discrepancies in these input assumptions can significantly affect the fair value estimate.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
4.1 Revenue recognition
The Company derives its revenues from two sources: (a) development fees, which is contract specific for development of technology; and (b) online game sales and platform sales. Development fee revenue is recognized when there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, the fee is measurable, the Company has performed its service in accordance with the agreement and collectability is reasonably assured.
Online game sales are sold to end customers through the Company’s website and platform. These sales are recognized when the product is delivered to the customer. Testing sales are deferred against their related capitalized development costs and recognized once the game reaches commercialization.
4.2 Earnings per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect on earnings per share is calculated presuming the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive.
4.3 Share-based payments
The costs of equity-settled transactions with employees are measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted. In situations where equity instruments are issued to non-employees and some or all of the goods or services received by the entity as consideration cannot be specifically identified, they are measured at the fair value of the share-based payment.
The costs of equity-settled transactions are recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (“the vesting date”). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The profit or loss charge or credit for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period and the corresponding amount is represented in share-based payments reserve.
Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized for any modification which increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

PLAYGROUND VENTURES INC. Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (Expressed in Canadian dollars) (Unaudited)
4.4 Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired from third parties are measured initially at their fair value and either classified as indefinite life or finite life depending on their characteristics. Internally generated intangible assets, such as development costs, are capitalized only when the product is technically and commercially feasible, the costs of generating the asset can be reliably measured, and there is an adequate plan to complete the project. Revenues associated with testing products under development is recorded as a reduction of development costs. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment as least annually and intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for indicators of impairment at least annually.
5. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its common shares and accumulated deficit as capital. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk, as there are no external restrictions on it.
The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue new debt, acquire or dispose of assets in order at adjust the amount of cash on its balance sheet.
In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company may prepare expenditure budgets that are updated as necessary depending on various factors, including successful capital deployment and general industry conditions.
The Company is not subject to any restrictions in the management of its capital. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the year.
6. FAIR VALUE AND FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company has designated its cash as FVTPL which are measured at fair value. Fair value of cash is determined based on transaction value and is categorized as a Level one measurement.
-
Level One includes quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level Two includes inputs that are observable other than quoted prices included in Level One.
-
Level Three includes inputs that are not based on observable market data.
Cash is measured using Level One inputs.

As at September 30, 2021 and 2020, both the carrying and fair value amounts of the Company's cash, demand promissory note, trade and other payables are approximately equivalent due to their short term nature.
A summary of the Company’s risk exposures as it relates to financial instruments are reflected below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and demand promissory note receivable (note 7). Cash consists of cash on hand deposited with reputable financial institutions which is closely monitored by management and cash held in trust with the lawyers. Management believes credit risk with respect to financial instruments included in cash is minimal. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at September 30, 2021 and 2020 is the carrying value of cash and the demand promissory note receivable.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in satisfying its financial obligations. The Company manages its liquidity risk by forecasting it operations and anticipating its operating and investing activities. All amounts in trade and other payables are due within one year.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk and other price risk.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk consists of a) the extent that payments made or received on the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are affected by changes in the prevailing market interest rates, and b) to the extent that changes in prevailing market rates differ from the interest rate in the Company’s monetary assets and liabilities. The Company is not exposed to interest rate price risk.
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk due to the timing of their accounts payable balances. This risk is mitigated by timely payment of creditors and monitoring of foreign exchange fluctuations by management. The Company is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk based on its current operations.
Other price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices, other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company is not exposed to significant other price risk.

COVID-19 and its impact on the business environment
Beginning in March 2020, the Governments of Canada and the United States, as well as other foreign governments instituted emergency measures as a result of the COVID-19 virus outbreak. The virus has had a major impact on North America and international securities, currency markets and consumer activity which may impact the Company's financial position, its results of future operations and its future cash flows significantly. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2021.
