Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
ITEM
9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that
we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Security and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer),
as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and
procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange
Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of April 30, 2021.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during
the year ended April 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over
financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief
Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:
●
pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
and
●
provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance
with authorizations of our management and directors; and
●
provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that
could have a material impact on the financial statements.
43
Because
of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting
includes using the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), an integrated framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission, for the evaluation of internal control to identify the risks and control objectives related
to the evaluation of our control environment.
Based
on our evaluation under the framework described above, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting
was not effective as of April 30, 2021 due to the following material weaknesses that were identified:
●
The
Company lacks adequate segregation of duties due to the small size of the organization. Further, the Company lacks an independent Board
of Directors or Audit Committee to ensure adequate monitoring or oversight.
●
The
Company lacks accounting resources and controls to prevent or detect material misstatements. Specifically, the Company continues to
have a material weakness in our controls over accounting for inventory due to a lack of controls over ensuring inventory movement was
being processed accurately and in a timely manner, which resulted in significant audit adjustments relating to the value of our inventory
and cost of sales. Further, while the Company engages service providers to assist with US GAAP compliance the Company lacks resources
with adequate knowledge to oversee those services. Lastly, the Company does not have sufficient resources to complete timely reconciliations
and transactional reviews, which resulted in delays in the financial reporting process.
To
remediate the material weaknesses, we have initiated compensating controls in the near term and are enhancing and revising our
existing controls, including ensuring we have sufficient management review procedures and adequate segregation of duties. The material
weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management
has concluded they are operating effectively.
This
Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control
over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting
firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual
Report.

Professional
History of Paul McKeown
Holding
a Chartered Professional Accountant designation (CPA-CMA) in Canada, Paul has 40+ years’ experience in senior management focused
on finance, operations and IT functions in large multinational companies (37 years in sporting goods).
Paul
started his sporting goods business career in the early 1980s at Wilson Sporting Goods Canadian subsidiary, where he led the finance,
IT and operations functions. Recognizing strong processes and performance of the Canadian unit, Paul was appointed to a small team of
executives to provide on-going functional support to new entities being established in Latin America and Asia.
In
1989, Wilson was acquired by Amer Sports which through further acquisitions (Atomic, Suunto, Precor and Salomon) became the largest sports
“hard goods” equipment supplier in the world. Those acquisitions required leadership to integrate into Amer’s processes,
and Paul led the finance and operations integration teams for Canada, Latin America, and Asia.
As
a result, Paul was appointed Director of Process Integration & Development for North America. A key initiative under his leadership
was transition of financial transactional processing for all Amer North American business units to the Global Financial Shared Service
organization in Poland.
45
Following
that, he was appointed Vice President Finance for Amer’s Precor Fitness brand – headquartered in Seattle Washington. In that
role, he re-organized the finance team, and introduced new tools and processes which lead to significant improvements in financial
performance and business control.
In
spring 2018 he retired from active service and began a consulting career with focus on financial/IT processes. He joined Slinger Bag

TERM
OF OFFICE
All
directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly
elected and qualified. The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will consist of no less than three members. Officers
are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
DIRECTOR
INDEPENDENCE
Our
board of directors is currently composed of one member, who does not qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published
listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that
the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family
members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination
as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of
independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ
rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided
by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to
us and our management.
46
CERTAIN
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
No
director, nominee for director, or executive officer of the Company has appeared as a party in any legal proceeding material to an evaluation
of his ability or integrity during the past ten years.
SIGNIFICANT
EMPLOYEES
Other
than our officers and director, we currently have only one other person who we consider to be a significant employee –
Charles Ruddy, who is President of our recently-acquired subsidiary, Foundation Sports Systems, LLC (“Foundation Sports”).
Charles
Ruddy has been the President and Founder of Foundation Sports since August 2017. Prior to establishing Foundation Sports, Mr. Ruddy was
a consultant to Tennis Connect / Tennis Industry Association from 2004 – 2017 where he designed and managed the tennis industry’s
first software as a service platform in 2004.
AUDIT
COMMITTEE AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Since
we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by
such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit
committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such
committees are not necessary since the Company is an early development stage company and has only one director, and to date, such
director has been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors
and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect
management decisions.
There
are no family relationships among our directors or officers, or persons nominated or chosen to be a director or officer. Other
than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.
SECTION
16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Our
Common Stock is not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, our officers, directors and principal shareholders
are not subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
CODE
OF ETHICS
The
Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting
officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Company has not adopted a code of ethics because it has only commenced
operations.

12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
We
have not entered into any transactions in which any of our directors, executive officers, or affiliates, including any member of an immediate
family, had or are to have a direct or indirect material interest except for the entry into the exclusive distribution agreement with
Framework Sports and Marketing Ltd. dated May 20, 2020 for the United Kingdom and Ireland, which is owned by the brother of our chief
executive officer.

SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The
following table sets forth certain information, as of July 31, 2021, with respect to any person (including any “group”,
as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) who is
known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of any class of our voting securities, and as to those shares of
our equity securities beneficially owned by each of our directors and executive officers and all of our directors and executive officers
as a group. Unless otherwise specified in the table below, such information, other than information with respect to our directors and
executive officers, is based on a review of statements filed with the Securities and Exchange commission (the “Commission”)
pursuant to Sections 13 (d), 13 (f), and 13 (g) of the Exchange Act with respect to our common stock.
The
number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person is determined under the rules of the Commission and the information
is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares
as to which such person has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares which the individual has the right to
acquire within sixty (60) days after the date hereof, through the exercise of any stock option, warrant or other right. Unless otherwise
indicated, each person has sole investment and voting power (or shares such power with his or her spouse) with respect to the shares
set forth in the following table. The inclusion herein of any shares deemed beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial
ownership of those shares.
The
following table lists, as at the date hereof, the number of shares of common stock of our Company that are beneficially owned by (i)
each person or entity known to our Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each officer
and director of our Company; and (iii) all officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common
stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership”
concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of
a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment
power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any
security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission
rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial
owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole
voting and investment power.

Beneficial
Ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment
power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants, convertible debt or convertible preferred
shares currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days are deemed outstanding for computing the
percentage of the person holding such option or warrant but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other
person. Percentages are based on a total of shares of common stock outstanding on July 31, 2021, which was 29,979,573,
and the shares issuable upon exercise of warrants and convertible debt. The number of common shares used in computing this percentage
is 61,423,668.

In
connection with a note payable issued on June 1, 2019, Mont-Saic Investments received a warrant giving them the right to acquire
33% of the outstanding shares of the Company for no charge, which amounted to a total of 8,137,859 shares issuable. Mont-Saic
subsequently sold it full right, title and interest in that right to 2672237 Ontario. Currently, the Company has issued 1,216,560
shares to 2672237 Ontario in satisfaction of the warrant with 6,921,299 shares remaining issuable as of the date of this report.
Additionally, 2672237 Ontario holds 1,636,843 shares of the Company’s common stock from debt to equity conversions and has
2,750,000 warrants related to debt issuances.

The
above officers and directors were granted an aggregate total of 11,250,000 and 4,500,000 warrants on April 30, 2020 and
February 9, 2021, respectively, as compensation and bonuses. The April 30, 2020 warrants have an exercise price
of $0.001 per share and the February 9, 2021 warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share for non-U.S. employees and $3.94
for U.S. employees. All of the warrants have a contractual life of 10 years from the date of issuance and are vested immediately
upon grant. Additionally, Yonah Kalfa and Mark Radom have 19,994,700 and 26,025 shares of common stock of the Company, respectively.

Securities
authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans.
The
table below provides information regarding all compensation plans as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year (including
individual compensation arrangements) under which equity securities of the registrant are authorized for issuance.
On
November 11, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Slinger Bag Inc. Global Share Incentive Plan (2020), or the 2020
Plan, which was approved by stockholders holding in the aggregate 19,994,700 shares of the Company’s common stock, or approximately
75.4% of the Company’s common stock outstanding on such date. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of awards which are incentive
stock options (“ISOs”), non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”), unrestricted stock, restricted stock, restricted
stock units, performance stock and other equity-based and cash awards or any combination of the foregoing, to eligible key management
employees, non-employee directors, and non-employee consultants of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each a “participant”)
(however, solely employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible for incentive stock option awards).
The
Company has reserved a total of 15,000,000 shares for issuance under awards to be made under the 2020 Plan, all of which may, but need
not, be issued in connection with ISOs. To the extent that an award lapses, expires, is canceled, is terminated unexercised or ceases
to be exercisable for any reason, or the rights of its holder terminate, any shares subject to such award shall again be available for
the grant of a new award. The 2020 Plan shall continue in effect, unless sooner terminated, until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the
date on which it was adopted by the Board of Directors (except as to awards outstanding on that date). The Board of Directors in its
discretion may terminate the 2020 Plan at any time with respect to any shares for which awards have not theretofore been granted; provided,
however, that the 2020 Plan’s termination shall not materially and adversely impair the rights of a holder, without the consent
of the holder, with respect to any award previously granted.
Future
new hires, non-employee directors and additional non-employee consultants are eligible to participate in the 2020 Plan as well. The number
of awards to be granted to officers, non-employee directors, employees and non-employee consultants cannot be determined at this time
as the grant of awards is dependent upon various factors such as hiring requirements and job performance.
