EXPLANATORY NOTE

On April 9, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” and “us”), consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain June 30, 2023, Amended and Restated Sale and Purchase Agreement of Share Capital (as amended and restated from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and Aleksandar Milovanović, Zoran Milošević and Snežana Božović (collectively, the “Sellers”), the owners of Meridian Tech Društvo Sa Ograničenom Odgovornošću Beograd, a private limited company formed and registered in and under the laws of the Republic of Serbia (“Meridian Serbia”); Društvo Sa Ograničenom Odgovornošću “MeridianBet” Društvo Za Proizvodnju, Promet Roba I Usluga, Export Import Podgorica, a private limited company formed and registered in and under the laws of Montenegro; Meridian Gaming Holdings Ltd., a company formed and registered in the Republic of Malta; and Meridian Gaming (Cy) Ltd, a company formed and registered in the republic of Cyprus (collectively, the “MeridianBet Group”). On the Closing Date, the Company acquired 100% of the MeridianBet Group (the “Purchase”), effective for all purposes as of April 1, 2024. References herein to “Golden Matrix” refer to the Company prior to the Purchase.

Because the Sellers collectively owned approximately 69.2% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock on the Closing Date (with Aleksandar Milovanović (“Milovanović”), and became the majority stockholders of the Company and received rights to appoint certain persons to the Board of Directors of the Company, the Purchase was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization of the Company under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”), with the MeridianBet Group as the accounting acquirer and the Company as the accounting acquiree.

Therefore, the historical basis of MeridianBet Group’s assets and liabilities have not been remeasured as a result of the acquisition. Instead, as described more fully in “NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES” and in “NOTE 22 – MERIDIANBET GROUP PURCHASE AGREEMENT”, below, the assets and liabilities of the Company have been recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date and are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In identifying MeridianBet Group as the acquiring entity, the companies considered the structure of the acquisition, the relative equity ownership and the largest portion of the voting rights, in the combined companies after the closing of the acquisition, along with the composition of the board of directors.

On, and effective on, April 5, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from October 31st to December 31st, to align the Company’s fiscal year end with that of MeridianBet Group. As a result of the timing of the Purchase, the Company was not required to file a quarterly report for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and this is the first Quarterly Report since the Company’s quarterly report for the quarter ended January 31, 2024. For more information regarding Meridian Bet Group’s financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, see the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 4, 2024, which includes financial statements of MeridianBet Group for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

As a result, all historical financial information presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements below represents the accounts of MeridianBet Group as if MeridianBet Group is the predecessor to the Company.
