REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Sow Good, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets
of Sow Good, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity,
and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as
the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year
period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company suffered
a net loss from operations and the cash on hand would be insufficient to fund the Company over the next year, which raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 3.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below
are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to
the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our
especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion
on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions
on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Business Combination, S-FDF
As discussed
in Note 4, the Company acquired S-FDF, LLC in an acquisition accounted for as a business combination, which required asset and liabilities
assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair values. Significant judgment is exercised by the Company in determining the fair
value of assets acquired. Management engaged specialists, and the work of management’s specialists was used in performing the procedures
to evaluate the reasonableness purchase price allocation. Given these factors and due to significant judgements made by management, the
related audit effort in evaluating management's judgments in determining accounting for the business combination required a high degree
of auditor judgment.
As a basis
for using this work, the specialists’ qualifications were understood and the Company’s relationship with the specialists was
assessed. The procedures performed also included evaluation of the methods and assumptions used by the specialists, tests of the data
used by the specialists and an evaluation of the specialists’ findings. We evaluated and tested the Company’s significant
judgments that determine the recognition of goodwill.
M&K CPAS, PLLC
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2010.

(Formerly Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc.)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Organization and Nature of
Business
Effective January 21, 2021, we changed our name
from Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. to Sow Good Inc. (“SOWG,” “Sow Good,” or the “Company”). Our
common stock is traded on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “SOWG”. At
that time, o ur common stock started to be quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “SOWG”, from the former trading
symbol “ANFC”. Prior to April 2, 2012, the Company name was Ante5, Inc., which became an independent company in April 2010.
We became a publicly traded company when our shares began trading on July 1, 2010. From October 2010 through August 2019, we had
been engaged in the business of acquiring oil and gas leases and participating in the drilling of wells in the Bakken and Three Forks
trends in North Dakota and Montana and /or managing similar assets for third parties.
On September 26, 2017, the Company finalized an
equity raise utilizing a rights offering and backstop agreement, raising net proceeds of $5,051,675 and issuing 1,439,400 shares. The
proceeds were used to sponsor a special purpose acquisition company, discussed below, with the remainder for general corporate purposes.
On October
10, 2017, the Company’s sponsored special purpose acquisition company, Black Ridge Acquisition Corp. (“BRAC”), completed
an IPO raising $138,000,000 of gross proceeds (including proceeds from the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters on
October 18, 2017). In addition, the Company purchased 445,000 BRAC units at $10.00 per unit in a private placement transaction for a total
contribution of $4,450,000 in order to fulfill its obligations in sponsoring BRAC, a blank check company formed for the purpose
of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business
combination with one or more businesses or entities. BRAC’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to
a particular industry or geographic region. Following the IPO and over-allotment, BROG owned 22% of the outstanding common stock of BRAC
and managed BRAC’s operations via a management services agreement. On December 19, 2018, BRAC entered into a business combination
agreement, which subsequently closed on August 9, 2019.
On October 1, 2020, the
Company completed its acquisition of S-FDF, LLC pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement. In connection with the closing of the Asset Purchase
Agreement, the Company acquired approximately $2.2 million in cash and certain assets and agreements related to the Seller’s
freeze-dried fruits and vegetables business for human consumption and entered into certain employment and registration rights agreements.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company owned 177,479
shares of Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AESE), the surviving entity after BRAC’s business combination (“Sponsor
Shares”), after selling 1,970,920 shares for total net proceeds of $3,108,067, selling warrants to purchase 505,000 shares of AESE
(NASDAQ: AESEW) (“Sponsor Warrants”) for total proceeds of $73,668, and distributing 537,101 Sponsor Shares on August 9,
2020 to employees and directors under the 2018 Management Incentive Plan, dated March 6, 2018.
Note 2 – Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). All references to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) are in accordance with The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Reclassifications
In the prior year, the income, expense and cash
flows from Black Ridge Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary formed on October 10, 2017, which was consolidated as a variable interest
entity through August 9, 2019, the date that BRAC completed a business combination with Allied Esports Entertainment, Inc. (“AESE”),
were consolidated and have been retrospectively classified as discontinued operations. In addition, prior period investment in Allied
Esports Entertainment, Inc. securities of $6,982,300 were reclassified from long term assets to current assets to conform to management’s
intent and ability to liquidate the asset.
F- 6
SOW GOOD, INC.
(Formerly Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc.)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Segment Reporting
FASB ASC 280-10-50 requires annual and interim
reporting for an enterprise’s operating segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major
customers. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in
deciding how to allocate resources. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements
as it expands its operations.
Use
of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles 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.
Environmental Liabilities
The Company was formerly a direct owner of assets
in the oil and gas industry. The oil and gas industry is subject, by its nature, to environmental hazards and clean-up costs. At this
time, management knows of no substantial losses from environmental accidents or events which would have a material effect on the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include money market accounts
which have maturities of three months or less. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest,
which approximates market value. There were no cash equivalents on hand at December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Cash in Excess of FDIC Insured Limits
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit
accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) up to $250,000 and $500,000, respectively, under current regulations. The Company
had approximately $1,311,464 and $-0- in excess of FDIC and SIPC insured limits at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company
has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard
did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts
payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheets are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the
short-term nature of the instruments. The Company had no items that required fair value measurement on a recurring
basis.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at the lower
of cost or estimated net recoverable amount. The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method based
on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based on the following life expectancy:
Software
3 years, or over the life of the agreement
Office equipment
5 years
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
Machinery and equipment
7-10 years
Intangible assets
Indefinite
Leasehold improvements
Fully extended lease-term
Repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged
to operations as incurred. Major improvements and replacements, which extend the useful life of an asset, are capitalized and depreciated
over the remaining estimated useful life of the asset. When assets are retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation
and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation expense was $3,642 and $872 for
the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company
are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable
or is impaired. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings
before interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds
to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows
of future operations.
Our intellectual property
is comprised of indefinite-lived brand names acquired and have been assigned an indefinite life as we currently anticipate that these
brand names will contribute cash flows to the Company perpetually. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically by
taking into account events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired.
Inventory
Inventory, consisting of raw materials, material
overhead, labor, and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value and consist
of the following:
December 31,
December 31,
2020
2019
Raw materials
$ 141,371
$ –
No reserve for obsolete inventories has been recognized,
and we have not yet commenced production.
Goodwill
The Company evaluates goodwill on an annual basis
in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. Such indicators could include, but are
not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse
action or assessment by a regulator. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that
the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, management conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The
impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company estimates the
fair values of its reporting units using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, approach and the market approach, which
utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, an
impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during the year resulted in no impairment losses.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue in accordance
with ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company will recognize revenue from the sale of its freeze-dried
food products once operations commence, in accordance with a five-step model in which
the Company will evaluate the transfer of promised goods or services and recognize revenue when customers obtain control of promised goods
or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods
or services. To determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company
will perform the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations
in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the
contract and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company has elected, as a practical
expedient, to account for the shipping and handling as fulfillment costs, rather than as a separate performance obligation. Revenue will
be reported net of applicable provisions for discounts, returns and allowances. Methodologies for determining these provisions will be
dependent on customer pricing and promotional practices. The Company will record reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and
pricing adjustments in the same period that the related revenue is recorded. These estimates will be based on industry-based historical
data, historical sales returns, if any, analysis of credit memo data, and other factors known at the time. The Company recognized
management fee income as services were provided in 2019.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revenue Concentration
All of the Company’s revenue earned came
from management fees earned through its management services agreement with BRAC, which ceased as of December 31, 2019.
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”)
are computed by dividing net income (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator).
Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding
(if dilutive) during each period. Potential common shares include stock options, warrants and restricted stock. The number of potential
common shares outstanding relating to stock options, warrants and restricted stock is computed using the treasury stock method.
The reconciliation of the denominators used to
calculate basic EPS and diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:
Years Ended December 31,
2020
2019
Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic
1,886,951
1,599,555
Plus: Potentially dilutive common shares:
Stock options and warrants
–
862
Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted
1,886,951
1,600,417
For 2020 and 2019, potential dilutive securities
had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share. Stock options and warrants
excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect was anti-dilutive were 565,824 and 34,204 of December 31, 2020
and 2019, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based
payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair
values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company recognized $268,608 of stock-based compensation for the
issuance of shares of common stock for services in 2020. Amortization of the fair values of stock options issued for services and
compensation totaled $458,048 and $100,526 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The fair values
of stock options were determined using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and an effective term of 6 to 6.5 years based on the
weighted average of the vesting periods and the stated term of the option grants and the discount rate on 5 to 7 year U.S. Treasury
securities at the grant date and are being amortized over the related implied service term, or vesting period. In addition, $377,440
of expenses related to the amortization of warrants issued in consideration of personal guarantees provided for debt financing,
using the Black-Scholes options pricing model and an effective term of 5 years based on the weighted average of the vesting periods
and the stated term of the warrant grants and the discount rate on 5 year U.S. Treasury securities at the grant date were recognized
as interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and
liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and
laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. The Company provides a valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
On December 22, 2017 the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform”) was signed into law. As a result of Tax Reform, the U.S. statutory rate was lowered from 35% to
21% effective January 1, 2018, among other changes. ASC Topic 740 requires companies to recognize the effect of tax law changes in the
period of enactment; therefore, the Company was required to value its deferred tax assets and liabilities at the new rate. The SEC issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 108”) to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not
have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting
for certain effects of Tax Reform. The ultimate impact may differ from the provisional amount, possibly materially, as a result of additional
analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued and actions
the Company may take as a result of Tax Reform.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Uncertain Tax Positions
In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”
(“ASC 740”), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that
the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position.
These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of
a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
Various taxing authorities can periodically audit
the Company’s income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Company’s tax filing positions, including the
timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with
these various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of
years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has
not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.
The assessment of the Company’s tax position
relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Company’s various filing positions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new
accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that are adopted by the Company as
of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet
effective, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification
Improvements to Topic 842, Leases . The amendments in ASU 2018-10 provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on certain
aspects of the previously issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) and have the same effective and transition
requirements as ASU 2016-02. Upon the effective date, ASU 2018-10 will supersede the current lease guidance in ASC Topic 840, Leases.
Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, a lease liability,
which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis. Concurrently, lessees
will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the
use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASU 2018-10 is effective for private companies and emerging growth public companies for
interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is required to be
applied using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest
comparative periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2019, and the standard
did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures until the closing of the asset purchase
with S-FDF, LLC on October 1, 2020.
Note 3 – Going Concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements,
as of December 31, 2020, the Company had a cash balance of $1,912,729 and working capital of $1,768,153. The Company has no revenue source
presently. Based on projections of cash expenditures in the Company’s current business plan, the cash on hand would be insufficient
to sustain operations over the next year. On February 5, 2021, we raised $2.525 million from the sale of an aggregate 631,250 shares of
the Company’s common stock at $4.00 per share, resulting in approximately $2.7 million of cash on hand and $650,000 of liquid securities
for a combined liquidity of $3.35 million as of March 19, 2021.
The Company continues to pursue sources of additional
capital through debt and financing transactions or arrangements, including equity financing or other means. We may not be successful in
identifying suitable funding transactions in a sufficient time period or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other
means. If we do not succeed in raising additional capital, our resources may not be sufficient to fund our business. Our ability to scale
production and distribution capabilities and further increase the value of our brands, is largely dependent on our success in raising
additional capital.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial
statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts
and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 – Business Combination, S-FDF
On October
1, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of S-FDF, LLC (the "Seller"), a Texas limited liability company, pursuant to
an Asset Purchase Agreement, between the Company and the Seller, dated June 9, 2020, as subsequently amended effective October 1,
2020. In connection with the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired approximately $2.2 million in cash and
certain assets and agreements related to the Seller’s freeze-dried fruits and vegetables business for human consumption and entered
into certain employment and registration rights agreements. The Company did not assume any liabilities of Seller or any liabilities, liens,
or encumbrances pertaining to or encumbering the Purchased Assets, except for those related to agreements or arrangements specified in
the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Seller transferred the Purchased Assets to the Company in exchange for the issuance of 1,120,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock to the Seller. The number of Seller Shares to be issued was subject to adjustment, as specified in
the Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended, based on the extent to which the amount of cash proceeds held by the Company, as derived from
the sale of the Company’s holdings of Allied Esports Entertainment Inc. ("AESE") Shares, were less than $5 million
or greater than $6 million on the date specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement, which resulted in the issuance of an additional
500,973 Seller Shares that were issued on January 4, 2021. The combined issuances represented approximately 46% of the Company’s
issued and outstanding common stock, on a fully diluted basis. Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. was determined to be the acquiror of the
business combination.
Pursuant
to its obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date the Company, (a) created three new seats on the Company’s
Board of Directors and appointed the Seller’s principals, Ira Goldfarb and Claudia Goldfarb, and a third person designated by the
Goldfarbs, Greg Creed, as directors, (b) entered into employment agreements with Ira Goldfarb and Claudia Goldfarb, (c) delivered a registration
rights agreement with respect to the Seller Shares and any shares of common stock delivered as part of the employment compensation for
Ira Goldfarb or Claudia Goldfarb, and (d) amended the Company’s 2020 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common
stock reserved thereunder. At closing, the Company also assumed the Seller’s obligations under a real property lease for its facility
in Irving, Texas under which an entity owned entirely by Ira Goldfarb is the landlord.
This acquisition was
accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase resulted in the recognition of $6,411,327
of goodwill, which is evaluated annually for impairment, unless circumstances change that require an earlier determination. According
to the purchase method of accounting, the Company recognized the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

Note 5 – BRAC’s IPO, Consolidation
of BRAC and Non-controlling Interest
BRAC’s IPO
The registration statement for the BRAC’s
IPO was declared effective on October 4, 2017. The registration statement was initially declared effective for 10,000,000 units (“Units”
and, with respect to the common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), but the offering was increased
to 12,000,000 Units pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On October 10, 2017, the Company consummated
the Initial Public Offering of 12,000,000 units, generating gross proceeds of $120,000,000.
Simultaneous with the closing of the IPO, BRAC
sold 400,000 units (the “Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Unit in a private placement to BROG, generating gross
proceeds of $4,000,000. BROG’s investment in BRAC’s common stock was eliminated in consolidation prior to the BRAC’s
merger on August 9, 2019.
Transaction costs relating to the IPO amounted
to $2,882,226, consisting of $2,400,000 of underwriting fees and $482,226 of other costs.
Following the closing of the IPO on October 10,
2017, an amount of $120,600,000 ($10.05 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and the Placement Units was
placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section
2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or
less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by BRAC meeting the conditions of paragraphs
(d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by BRAC, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation
of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.
On October 18, 2017, in connection with the underwriters’
exercise of their over-allotment option in full, BRAC sold an additional 1,800,000 Units and sold an additional 45,000 Placement Units
to BROG at $10.00 per Unit, generating total proceeds of $18,450,000. Transaction costs for underwriting fees on the sale of the over-allotment
units were $360,000. Following the closing, an additional $18,090,000 of the net proceeds ($10.05 per Unit) was placed in the Trust Account,
bringing the total aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $138,690,000 ($10.05 per Unit). BROG’s investment in BRAC’s
common stock was eliminated in consolidation prior to the BRAC’s merger on August 9, 2019.
Upon the closing of the IPO, $10.05 per Unit sold
in the IPO, including some of the proceeds of the Private Placements was deposited in a trust account (“Trust Account”) to
be held until the earlier of (i) the consummation of its initial Business Combination or (ii) BRAC’s failure to consummate a Business
Combination within 21 months from the consummation of the IPO (the “Combination Period”).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Extension Meeting
On July 9, 2019, BRAC held a special
meeting of its stockholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, BRAC’s stockholders considered a proposal to adopt and
approve an amendment to BRAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) to extend the date
that BRAC had to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) to August 10, 2019. The amendment was approved by the
stockholders and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on July 9, 2019.
In connection with this vote, the holders
of 9,246,727 shares of BRAC’s common stock properly exercised their right to convert their shares into cash at a conversion price
of approximately $10.29 per share resulting in $95,125,574 in Trust Account assets being distributed back to shareholders. In connection
with the Extension, BROG loaned $30,000 to BRAC to be placed in the Trust Account for the benefit of the public shares that were not converted.
The loan was non-interest bearing and evidenced by a promissory note issued by BRAC on the same date. The loan was repaid on August 12,
2019.
Business Combination Agreement
On December 19, 2018, BRAC entered into the Business
Combination Agreement with Merger Sub, Allied Esports, Ourgame, Noble and Primo. The Business Combination Agreement was amended on August
5, 2019 and the Business Combination Agreement as amended is referred to as the Amended Business Combination Agreement. The merger closed
on August 9, 2019 (the “Closing Date”).
Subject to the Amended Business Combination Agreement,
(i) Noble merged with and into Allied Esports (the “Redomestication Merger”) with Allied Esports being the surviving entity
in such merger and (ii) immediately after the Redomestication Merger, Merger Sub merged with into Allied Esports with Allied Esports being
the surviving entity of such merger (the “Transaction Merger” and together with the Redomestication Merger, the “Mergers”).
The Mergers resulted in BRAC acquiring two of
Ourgame’s global esports and entertainment assets, Allied Esports and WPT. Allied Esports is a premier esports entertainment company
with a global network of dedicated esports properties and content production facilities. WPT is the creator of the World Poker Tour®
(WPT®) – the premier name in internationally televised gaming and entertainment with brand presence in land-based tournaments,
television, online and mobile. The transactions strategically combined the globally recognized Allied Esports brand with the three-pronged
business model of the iconic World Poker Tour, featuring in-person experiences, multiplatform content and interactive services, to leverage
the high-growth opportunities in the global esports industry.
The Business Combination Agreement, which original
called for a debt repayment to Ourgame of $35,000,000 was amended to call for BRAC to (i) assume $10,000,000 of the debt obligations of
Ourgame and Noble (including an additional $1,200,000 of accrued interest) and (ii) repay Ourgame the remaining balance of $23,800,000
by paying $3,500,000 in cash to Ourgame and its designees, issuing to Ourgame and its designees 2,928,679 shares of BRAC’s common
stock and Ourgame retaining $1,000,000 of the proceeds of such loans to pay its transaction expenses incurred in the Merger. In connection
with entering into the Amendment, BROG, as BRAC’s founder, agreed to transfer an aggregate of 600,000 shares of BRAC’s common
stock held by it to Ourgame.
Additionally, In July and August 2019, BRAC and
BROG entered into several share purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with several parties (collectively referred
to as the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, the Purchasers agreed to purchase an aggregate of $18,000,000
of shares of BRAC’s common stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions. If the Purchasers were unable to purchase
the full $18,000,000 of shares of common stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions, BRAC will issue to the Purchasers
newly issued shares at the Closing at a per-share price equal to the per-share amount held in BRAC’s trust account ($10.30 per share),
and having an aggregate value equal to the difference between $18,000,000 and the dollar amount of shares purchased by them in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions. At the Closing, BRAC agreed to issue to the Purchasers 1.5 shares of common stock for
every 10 shares purchased by them under the Purchase Agreements. Additionally, BROG agreed to transfer an aggregate of 720,000 shares
held by it of BRAC common stock to the Purchasers. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements, BRAC is required to file a registration statement
with the SEC as promptly as practicable following the closing of the merger to register the resale of any securities purchased by the
Purchasers that are not already registered and cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as possible. The Purchasers
included a $3 million investment from Lyle Berman, a member of the board of directors of both BRAC and BROG and the largest shareholder
of BROG. Additionally, $5 million will be held in an escrow account and its usage will be limited to specific capital projects.
Consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the Amended Business Combination Agreement was subject to certain closing conditions including, among others, (i) approval by the stockholders
of BRAC, and (ii) that BRAC have available cash in an amount not less than $22,000,000 after payment to stockholders who elect to redeem
their shares of common stock in accordance with the provisions of BRAC’s charter documents. This second condition was waived by
Ourgame prior to the close.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Consolidation of BRAC and Non-controlling Interest
The Company determined that BRAC, following its
IPO, was a VIE and that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company determined that, due to the redemption feature
associated with the IPO shares, that the IPO shareholders are indirectly protected from the operating expenses of BRAC and BROG had the
power to direct the activities of BRAC through the date at which BRAC affords the stockholders the opportunity to vote to approve a proposed
business combination. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements contain the operations of the BRAC from its inception on May 9,
2017 through the date of the merger, when BRAC was determined to no longer be a VIE. BRAC’s IPO shareholders are reflected in our
Consolidated Financial Statements as a redeemable non-controlling interest prior to the merger. The non-controlling interest was recorded
at fair value on October 10, 2017, with an addition on October 18, 2017 as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment
option. During the period in which BRAC was consolidated, the net earnings attributable to the IPO shareholders are subtracted from the
net gain (loss) for any period to arrive at the net loss attributable to the Company and the non-controlling interest on the balance sheet
is adjusted to include the net earnings attributable to the IPO shareholders.
Deconsolidation of BRAC
Additionally, US GAAP (ASC 810-10-40) provides
guidance on “Derecognition” of a previously consolidated entity or entities. Under this guidance, the Company shall account
for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or derecognition of a group of assets specified in ASC 810-10-40-3A by recognizing a gain or loss
in net income attributable to the parent, measured as the difference between the combination of:
a) The fair value of:
· any consideration received. In this case, the Company received no consideration.
· any retained non-controlling investment in the former subsidiary or group of assets at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated,
or the group of assets is derecognized. In this case the fair value of the BRAC common stock at the close of the business combination
was $11,950,475, and;
b) The carrying amount of the former subsidiaries
assets and liabilities or the carrying amount of the group of assets.
With the above guidance the Company determined
that the effect of the deconsolidation of BRAC produced a non-cash adjustment, resulting in a gain of $20,448,687.
Intercompany Transactions and Eliminations
BROG was paid a management fee by AESE of $10,000
per month as part of an administrative services agreement, which commenced October 5, 2017 and ended on the date of the merger, for general
and administrative services including the cost of office space and personnel dedicated to AESE. BROG was also reimbursed for any out-of-pocket
expenses, particularly travel, incurred in connection with activities on AESE’s behalf, including but not limited to identifying
potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. AESE paid a total of $72,903 to BROG for such
services in 2019, prior to the merger and while AESE remained a VIE and was consolidated and included in our loss on discontinued operations.
The management services income of BROG and the management services expense of AESE as well as any balances due between the companies for
such services or reimbursements were eliminated in consolidation. Management fees earned by BROG of $466,595 subject to the management
services agreement between AESE and BROG in effect subsequent to the merger were not eliminated.

Common Stock Awarded Pursuant to Business Combination
On October 1, 2020, the
Company issued 1,120,000 shares of common stock to S-FDF, LLC, a Texas limited liability company co-owned by Claudia and Ira Goldfarb,
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, between the Company and the Seller. The issuance represented 41.18% of the Company’s issued
and outstanding common stock at the time. The fair value of the common stock was $6,720,000 based on the closing price of the Company’s

Note 7 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined
as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase
the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must
be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
The Company has cash and cash equivalents and
a revolving credit facility that must be measured under the fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities
are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices
for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are
not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.),
and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated
inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that
reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Note 13 – Stockholders’ Equity
Reverse Stock Split
On February 21, 2020,

fractional shares were issued. Instead, the Company issued the following to any stockholder who otherwise would have received a fractional
share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split:

Stockholders owning 300 or more shares of Common Stock received (1) one share of Common Stock for every 300 shares owned and (2) cash in lieu of fractional shares upon the surrender of such stockholder’s shares;
·
Stockholders owning between 25 and 300 shares of Common Stock had their ownership of shares of Common Stock rounded up to one share; and
·
Stockholders owning fewer than 25 shares of Common Stock received cash in lieu of fractional shares upon the surrender of such stockholders’ shares and no longer own shares of Common Stock.
Any cash payment in lieu of fractional shares
were based on the volume weighted average of the closing sales prices of the Company’s Common Stock on the OTCQB operated by
OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTCQB”) during regular trading hours for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding
the Effective Date, which was $0.018 per share prior to the effects of the reverse stock split.
The Company was authorized to issue 500,000,000
shares of common stock prior to the Reverse Stock Split, which remains unaffected. The Reverse Stock Split did not have any effect on
the stated par value of the common stock, or the Company’s authorized preferred stock. Unless otherwise stated, all share and per
share information in this Interim Report has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
Preferred Stock
The Company has 20,000,000 authorized shares of

Agreement. This resulted in an additional 500,973 Seller Shares that were issued on January 4, 2021. The combined issuances represented

Note 16 – Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the provisions
of ASC Topic 740, Income taxes, which provides for an asset and liability approach for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributable
to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated
for income tax purposes.
Our provision for income taxes for the years ended

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2020, the Company
has a net operating loss carryover of approximately $30,592,014. Under existing Federal law, a portion of the net operating loss may be
utilized to offset taxable income through the year ended December 31, 2037. A portion of the net operating loss carryover begins
to expire in 2030. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, pursuant to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”)
net operating losses now carry forward indefinitely but are limited to offsetting 80% of taxable income in a tax year. Of the total net
operating loss as of December 31, 2020, approximately $4,837,882 of the Company’s NOL is subject to the TCJA net operating loss
provisions.
ASC Topic 740 provides that a valuation allowance
is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset
will not be realized. In 2020, BROG decreased its valuation allowance from $6,010,207 to $5,489,828 to adjust for the decrease in net
deferred tax assets primarily due to an unrealized gain recorded for book purposes related to the investment in Allied Esports Entertainment,
Inc. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the benefit of these remaining assets will not be realized. The Company did
not place a valuation allowance on deferred tax asset for BRAC related to the capitalized merger and acquisition costs.
The Company filed annual US
Federal income tax returns and annual income tax returns for the state of Minnesota through 2020. Going forward, it will file annual state
income tax returns for the state of Texas. We are not subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2015 for
all returns. Income taxing authorities have conducted no formal examinations of our past federal or state income tax returns and supporting
records.
The Company adopted the provisions
of ASC Topic 740 regarding uncertainty in income taxes. The Company has found no significant uncertain tax positions as of any date on
or before December 31, 2020.
Note 17 – Commitments
The Company is involved in various inquiries,
administrative proceedings and litigation relating to matters arising in the normal course of business. The Company is not currently a
defendant in any material litigation and is not aware of any threatened litigation that could have a material effect on the Company. Management
is not able to estimate the minimum loss to be incurred, if any, as a result of the final outcome of the matters arising in the normal
course of business but believes they are not likely to have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial position or results
of operations and, accordingly, no provision for loss has been recorded.
The Company periodically maintains cash balances
at banks in excess of federally insured amounts. The extent of loss, if any, to be sustained as a result of any future failure of a bank
or other financial institution is not subject to estimation at this time.
Upon closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement,
the Company assumed the Seller’s obligations under a real property lease for its 20,945 square foot facility in Irving, Texas, under
which an entity owned entirely by Ira Goldfarb is the landlord. The lease term is through September 15, 2025, with two five-year options
to extend, at a monthly lease term of $10,036, with approximately a 3% annual escalation of lease payments commencing September 15, 2021.
