Description of Business

Wondr was co-founded by Jonathan Dwyer and Michael Cotton, the current CEO and COO of the Company, respectively. The Company is headquartered in Ontario, Canada having a registered office of 120 Carlton Street, Suite 405, Toronto, Ontario, M5A 4K2 and was incorporated on May 6, 2019.

Wondr Gaming Corp. is an entertainment company with a loyalty platform to serve the Esports landscape ( Wondr Gaming Rewards ), an NFT platform (non-fungible token) ( Wondr NFT ), and a media division ( Wondr Media ).

Wondr Gaming Rewards is the Company’s loyalty and rewards platform which will allow the Company to generate revenues through sponsorships, commissions on the sale of partner products and merchandise, as well as the monetization of customer data aggregated as part of the Company’s loyalty and rewards platform. Loyalty represents an underdeveloped opportunity within the Esports landscape – like many aspects of the gaming ecosystem, this is due in part to both the relatively early stage of the industry and the lack of centralization when compared to other entertainment verticals. There is no single loyalty platform or offering that delivers utility to fans throughout the gaming ecosystem. The lack of centralization and gap in loyalty is a significant factor driving the difficulty Esports industry stakeholders have had in driving fan engagement and monetization.

Wondr NFT is the Company’s fully white labelled NFT platform that will allow leagues, teams, agencies, and organizations to commercialize their NFT assets in our marketplace via a revenue sharing model.

Wondr Media creates content and activation campaigns with brands by acting as an agent to reach over 150 million followers via Tik Tok, You Tube, Instagram and Facebook. Wondr Media brings all the elements of Wondr together to drive consumers to Wondr Gaming Rewards’ loyalty platform as well as to Wondr NFT’s platform.

Gaming Industry Macro Overview

The gaming industry is projected to reach $20 billion by 2025, rivaling traditional sports and shifting the entertainment paradigm. Gaming has experienced massive growth in consumption of its content in the past several years. Gaming audiences are highly discerning and extremely sensitive to non-endemic brands making inauthentic, ill-conceived entrances into the gaming landscape – while fans engage with brands delivering value to the gaming ecosystem, they will vehemently reject perceived attempts to exploit their community.

Massive growth in gaming engagement and viewership is attracting private capital from investors looking to generate substantial return on investment. However, monetization of gaming is nascent and revenue is primarily sponsorship driven and sponsorship partners have largely struggled in driving activation and ROI against sponsorship dollars. All stakeholders within the gaming industry (video game publishers, streaming platforms, team and franchising models, etc.) are looking for more effective ways to drive engagement with fans and capitalize on the massive growth in viewership to drive monetization and generate new, sustainable revenue streams.

Immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction with Transglobe, the subscription receipts automatically converted into 44,091,500 common shares of 1Wondr Gaming and 22,045,750 warrants to purchase common shares of 1Wondr Gaming.

The Company was expected to incur cash issuance costs equal to 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in addition to the issuance of 3,305,820 finders’ warrants. Each finders’ warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 per share for a period of two years from the closing date.

On March 12, 2021, 1Wondr Gaming completed a convertible debenture financing for gross proceeds of $1,000,000 through the issuance of 1,000 units at $1,000 per unit.

Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share for $0.40 per common share at any time prior to March 12, 2023. The holder of each Convertible Debenture has the option, at any time prior to maturity, to convert the unpaid principal amount plus accrued interest thereon into common shares of the Company at a price per share of $0.25, subject to adjustment. In connection with the Convertible Debenture financing, 320,000 finders’ warrants were issued exercisable for a period of two years to purchase the same number of common shares with an exercise price of $0.40.

The Transaction with Transglobe

On October 20, 2020, the 1Wondr Gaming, Transglobe and 2778533 Ontario Inc. (“ Subco ”) entered into an amalgamation agreement (the “ Amalgamation Agreement ”), pursuant to which Transglobe would acquire all of the issued and outstanding 1Wondr Gaming Shares from the 1Wondr Gaming shareholders pursuant to a three-cornered amalgamation in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario)(“ OBCA ”).

Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement, among other customary conditions, as a condition of completion of the Transaction, the following transactions are required to be completed on or before the completion of the Transaction:

  • Transglobe would complete a consolidation of its outstanding common shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common share for each thirty (30) outstanding common shares;

  • Transglobe would change its name to “Wondr Gaming Corp.”;

  • Transglobe would issue one common share for each one 1Wondr Gaming Share outstanding prior to completion of the Transaction; and

  • The parties would use their best efforts to complete a concurrent financing.

On May 3, 2021, this Transaction was completed resulting in Transglobe issuing from treasury to the 1Wondr Gaming shareholders an aggregate 134,735,966 post-consolidation common shares representing all of the issued and outstanding shares of 1Wondr Gaming prior to completion of the Transaction with Transglobe. This includes the 44,091,500 common shares in connection with the automatic exchange of the subscription receipts pursuant to the Concurrent Financing of February 5 and 12, 2021 mentioned above. In the aggregate, Transglobe issued: (i) 134,735,966 post-consolidation common shares to the former shareholders of 1Wondr Gaming in exchange for such 1Wondr Gaming shares; (ii) 22,045,750 common share purchase warrants on the same terms as the warrants in exchange for such Warrants; and (iii) 3,305,820 finders’ warrants in exchange for the finder’s warrants issued to eligible finders in connection with the concurrent financing.

Without significant operating activities. Transglobe did not meet the accounting definition of a business pursuant to IFRS 3 Business Combinations , and the acquisition was therefore accounted for as an acquisiton of net assets in exchange for shares of the Resulting Issuer under IFRS 2 Share-based Payments . The excess of the fair value of the consideration provided over the net assets received was recognized as an expense in the condensed consolidated interim statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The noncash listing expense of the Transaction was determined as follows:

Consideration transferred:
Fair value of common shares(16,612,079 shares at$0.19) $3,156,295

Total net liabilities acquired (23,281)
Non-cash listingexpense 3,179,576
Add: Legal andprofessional fees attributable 18,204
Total listing expense 3,197,780

Upon consummation of the Transaction, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the “ Plan ”) to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, officers, employees and consultants whose present and future contributions are important to the success of the Company by offering them an opportunity to participate in the entity’s future performance through the award of stock options. Each stock option converts into one common share of the Company on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of expiry. The total number of common shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to the Plan is equal to 10% of the issued and

5

outstanding common shares of the Company. During the period, an aggregate 7,890,000 stock options were granted pursuant to the Plan. The options vested immediately upon grant, have an exercise price of $0.40 per share and expire three years after the grant date.

Business Objective and Milestones

Wondr Gaming is developing a loyalty platform to onboard gamers which will allow the Company to aggregate fans within its consolidated digital ecosystem, allowing them unique access to deals in multiple sectors such as digital consumer goods, banking, insurance, automotive, and many others.

With the utility delivered by the points loyalty currency (ability to be redeemed on rewards across the gaming ecosystem – not limited to a single platform or title), Wondr has the opportunity to generate revenue by positioning points as the default standard currency within the gaming ecosystem. Wondr can create another revenue stream by selling points direct to fans (to be redeemed on microtransactions across multiple games or for gaming streaming platform subscriptions etc.) and to third-party partners (for them to attach as value-added on their own products and services outside of the gaming rewards ecosystem), replicating a commercial model leveraged by many of the world’s largest loyalty programs.

The Company expects to accomplish the following business objectives and milestones over the 12month period following the completion of the Transaction:

Cash flows provided from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $8,922,716 (2020 - $597,686) and consisted of the proceeds from the issuance of the subscription receipts and the Convertible Debentures mentioned previously as well as various transaction costs of $872,784.

Rival is an Esports company that provides advanced industry standard scouting reports for teams, trainers & the betting community through the use of artificial intelligence.

Rival is operating in the Esports industry which is experiencing significant market demand and increases in company valuations. As such management is satisfied with the carrying value of its investment in Rival at this time. Like all start-up companies, Rival requires time to develop its product offering and will re-assess the carrying value for future reporting period ends.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Pursuant to the Amalgamation Agreement with Transglobe, and as condition to the completion of the Transaction, on February 5, 2021 and February 12, 2021, 1Wondr Gaming completed the concurrent financings associated with the Transaction (collectively, the “ Concurrent Financings ”) of an aggregate of 44,091,500 subscription receipts (the “ Subscription Receipts ”) at a price of $0.20 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of $8,818,300. Immediately prior to completion of the Transaction, the Subscription Receipts automatically converted into 44,091,500 1Wondr Gaming Shares and 22,045,750 common share purchase warrants, for no additional consideration. The funds were held in escrow until completion of the Transaction on May 3, 2021. The amount of $7,425,227, net of various transaction fees and payment obligations, was released and deposited into the bank account of the Company upon completion of the Transaction.

On March 12, 2021, the Company raised an additional $1,000,000 by issuing units at a price per unit of $1,000. Each Unit consisted of one (1) Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $1,000 and such

12

number of warrants as is equal to $500 divided by the $0.25 (the “ Conversion Price ”). The Convertible Debentures are convertible at the option of the holder at the Conversion Price prior to the date of maturity which is sixty days following closing of a going public transaction. The Company has a prepayment right at any time following thirty (30) days after which the Company common shares are posted for trading on the CSE upon 15 days notice to the holder. The warrants are exercisable for one 1Wondr Gaming Share at a price of $0.40 for a period of twenty-four months from the date of issuance. On June 15, 2021, $300,000 principal amount of the Convertible Debentures was converted into 1,200,000 common shares. Subsequent to quarter-end, on July 3, 2021, the remaining $700,000 principal amount of Convertible Debentures matured and the principal repaid in cash. Of the $700,000 principal, interest of $6,192 was paid in cash on $200,000 while interest of $15,479 on the remaining $500,000 principal was repaid through the issuance of 61,917 common shares at the request of the holders.

With the funds raised to date and the funds released upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts, the Company expects to be able to fund its internal growth strategies as well as evaluate acquisition opportunities. The Company does not currently have a bank credit facility but may consider one in the future should management feel it will assist in achieving its strategic and operational objectives.

The Company is not economically dependent on any parties, has no off-balance sheet financing nor are there any restrictions on the use of its cash upon completion of the Transaction.

At this time, the Company is not anticipating an ongoing profit from operations in the immediate term, therefore it will be dependent on its ability to obtain equity or debt financing for growth. The Company may need additional capital, and may raise additional funds should the board of directors of the Company (the “ Board of Directors ”) deem it advisable.

During the current and comparative periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had minimal or negative operating cash flow because it had no revenues and only operating expenses. In addition, as a result of the Company’s business plans for the development of its products, the Company expects cash flow from operations to be negative until revenues improve to offset its operating expenditures. The Company’s cash flow from operations may be affected in the future by expenditures incurred by the Company to continue to develop its products and services. The amounts set out above for use as working capital may be used to offset this anticipated negative operating cash flow.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Application of the Company’s accounting policies in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRS ”) requires the Company’s management to make certain judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the financial position reporting date, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to

13

have, an effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Financial Instruments

Recognition and Classification

Financial Assets

All financial assets are initially recognized at fair value, adjusted by, in the case of instruments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, financial assets are subsequently classified and measured at either fair value through profit or loss (" FVTPL "), fair value through other comprehensive income (" FVTOCI ") or amortized cost based on the Company's assessment of the business model within which the financial asset is managed and the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics.

The Company measures cash at FVTPL and its investment in a private company at FVTOCI as at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method less impairment. Accounts receivable and short-term investments are classified as measured at amortized cost.

Financial Liabilities

The Company classifies its financial liabilities into one of the following two categories; measured at amortized cost and measured at FVTPL. The Company has designated the derivative conversion option related to the Convertible Debentures as being measured at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value net of any transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the instrument. Such interest-bearing liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, which ensures that any interest expense over the period to repayment is at a constant rate on the balance of the liability carried in the balance sheet.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related party, lease liabilities and long-term debt are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognized only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.

14

Offsetting

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Company has a legal right to offset the recognized amounts and it intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Fair Value and Market Value Measurement

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction on the measurement date.

When available, the Company measures the fair value of an instrument using quoted market prices in an active market for that instrument. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available and represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are 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; Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Impairment of Financial Assets

At each reporting date, the Company assess whether there is objective evidence that financial assets not carried at FVTPL are impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets are impaired based upon the expected credit loss (" ECL ") model.

Financial Risk Factors

The Company’s business is subject to certain risks, including but not restricted to risks related to: market risk for securities, future financing risks; going-concern risks; global economy risks; use of proceeds risks; volatility of the Company’s share price following a listing on a public exchange and the lack of trading history for the Common Shares; increased costs of being a publicly traded company; limited operating history in an evolving industry and history of losses; lack of brand development; expectations with respect to advancement in technologies; currency fluctuations; interest rates; taxes on the Company and its products; liabilities that are uninsured or uninsurable; economic conditions, dependence on management and conflicts of interest; intellectual property rights; attracting and retaining quality employees; key personnel risk; management of growth; product and services development; expansion risk; breach of confidential information; competition within the technology industry; corporate matters; issuance of debt; third party credit; short term investments; shares reserved for issuance; credit risk; liquidity risk; interest rate risk; and described from time to time in the Company’s documents filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities; and other factors beyond the Company’s control.

15

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk (including interest rate risk, and foreign exchange rate risk).

Risk management is carried out by the Company's management team with guidance from the Audit Committee under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfil its payment obligations. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and accounts receivable. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Cash consists of cash at banks and on hand. The cash has been invested and held with reputable financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote. The Company`s customer base is diversified with no reliance on any one client.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due, or can only do so at excessive cost. The Company's liquidity and operating results may be adversely affected if the Company's access to the capital market is hindered, or as a result of conditions specific to the Company. As at June 30, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $6,646,616 (2020 - $263,699) to settle current liabilities of $1,498,425 (2020 - $536,825). The Company regularly evaluates its cash position to ensure preservation and security of capital as well as maintenance of liquidity. As the Company does not generate significant revenue, managing liquidity risk is dependent upon the ability to secure additional financing, controlling expenses, and preserving cash.

Most of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.

Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s long-term debt consists of both a fixed and market driven variable interest rate. The Company has assessed the associated interest rate risk as minimal.

Capital Management

The Company manages its capital with the following objectives:

  • (i) To ensure sufficient financial flexibility to achieve the ongoing business objectives including funding of future growth opportunities, and pursuit of accretive acquisitions; and

  • (ii) To maximize shareholder return through enhancing the share value.

The Company monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments according to market conditions in an effort to meet its objectives given the current outlook of the business and industry in general. The Company may manage its capital structure by issuing new shares, repurchasing outstanding shares,

16

adjusting capital spending, or disposing of assets. The capital structure is reviewed by Management and the Board of Directors on a regular basis.

The Company considers its capital to be equity, comprising share capital and deficit, which at June 30, 2021 totaled a shareholders’ equity of $10,029,078 (December 31, 2020 – shareholders’ equity of $293,243). The Company manages capital through its financial and operational forecasting processes. The Company reviews its working capital and forecasts its future cash flows based on operating expenditures, and other investing and financing activities. Information is provided to the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company is not constrained by externally imposed capital requirements. The Company's capital management objectives, policies and processes have remained unchanged during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Contingencies

Statement of Claim – March 17, 2021

On March 17, 2021, a statement of claim was filed against the Company and two directors/officers alleging breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, knowing assistance of breach of fiduciary duty, breach of the duty of honest performance, unjust enrichment, breach of trust, appropriation of corporate opportunities and unlawful means. The claim is for $320 million. No provision has been recognized in the financial statements as the Company’s management believes that the claim is baseless, without merit and egregious with no probable loss. The Company cannot however reasonably predict the outcome. In connection with the claim, on April 28, 2021, a motion for an interim injunction preventing the Company from conducting its business was made and subsequently a judgment in favour of the Company was granted. The Company continues to seek dismissal of the claim and reimbursement of costs.

Statement of Claim – July 29, 2021

On July 29, 2021, a statement of claim was filed against the Company by GroupBy Inc., its loyalty program provider, alleging breach of contract and unjust enrichment and seeking US$4,136,807 plus interest and costs. The Company intends to vigorously defend this statement of claim. As litigation is subject to many uncertainties, it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of this claim or to estimate the loss, if any, which may result. Accordingly, the outcome of the claim is not yet determinable, and the extent to which an outflow of funds may be required to settle this possible obligation cannot be reliably determined.

Risks and Uncertainties

The success of the Company is dependent, among other things, on obtaining sufficient funding to enable the Company to develop its business. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain

18

adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favourable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay in executing the Company’s business plan. The Company will require new capital to continue to operate its business, and there is no assurance that capital will be available when needed, if at all. It is likely such additional capital will be raised through the issuance of additional equity, which will result in dilution to the Company’s shareholders.

The operations of the Company may require licenses and permits from various local, provincial and federal governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out development of its business or operations.

Certain directors or proposed directors of the Company are also directors, officers or shareholders of other companies. Such associations may give rise to conflicts of interest from time to time. The directors of the Company are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and to disclose any interest, which they may have in any project opportunity of the Company. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the board of directors, any director in a conflict will disclose his interest and abstain from voting on such matter. In determining whether or not the Company will participate in any project or opportunity, the directors will primarily consider the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at that time.

The Company does not have a historical track record of operating upon which investors may rely. Consequently, investors will have to rely on the expertise of the Company’s management. The Company does not have a history of earnings or the provision of return on investment, and there is no assurance that it will produce revenue, operate profitably or provide a return on investment in the future.

Dependence on Key Employees

The Company’s business and operations are dependent on retaining the services of a small number of key employees. The success of the Company is, and will continue to be, to a significant extent, dependent on the expertise and experience of these employees. The loss of one or more of these employees could have a materially adverse effect on the Company. The Company does not maintain insurance on any of its key employees.

Accountability and oversight of the Company rests with the Board. The Company will continue to evaluate and potentially expanded its management team to oversee the business development activities of the Company and perform all core functions.

Competitive Conditions

The markets for the Company’s products are competitive and rapidly changing, and a number of companies offer products similar to the Company’s products and target similar customers. The Company believes its ability to compete depends upon many factors within and outside its control, including the timely development and introduction of new products and product enhancements; product functionality, performance, price and reliability; customer service and support; sales and marketing efforts; and the introduction of new products and services by competitors.

Potential Dilution

The issue of common shares of the Company upon the exercise of the options and warrants will dilute the

19

ownership interest of the Company’s current shareholders. The Company may also issue additional option and warrants or additional common shares from time to time in the future. If it does so, the ownership interest of the Company’s then current shareholders could also be diluted.

Current Global Financial Conditions and Trends

Securities of technology companies in public markets have experienced substantial volatility in the past, often based on factors unrelated to the financial performance or prospects of the companies involved. These factors include macroeconomic developments in Canada and globally, and market perceptions of the attractiveness of particular industries. The price of the securities of Companies in the technology sector are also significantly affected by proposed and newly enacted laws and regulations, currency exchange fluctuation and the political environment in the local, provincial and federal jurisdictions in which the Company does business. The economy remains in a period of volatility, although there have been signs of positive economic growth in North American and European markets. Continued volatility is expected in the near term.

Share Data

As at June 30, 2021 there were 164,610,545 class A common shares and 32,118,244 warrants issued and outstanding in the capital of the Company. As at the date of this report, there were 164,672,462 class A common shares outstanding; 32,118,244 warrants convertible into 32,118,244 common shares and 1,652,910 warrants; and 7,952,500 options to purchase common shares outstanding.
