The increase of general and administrative expenses – to $1,453,776 in Q3 from $340,903 during the quarter ended July 31, 2021 – was due primarily to $832,901 of G&A expenses relating to RKings during the quarter.
“Our ability to generate increasing revenues with quarter-after-quarter of profitability attests to the strengths of our B2B and B2C platforms,” said Golden Matrix CEO, Anthony Brian Goodman, who continued “Because of the highly competitive nature of our industry, we are continually upgrading our systems and gaming content offerings to support the needs of our millions of participants. The GMX-Ag (aggregate) platform, which provides numerous features to benefit both operators and their players, continues to gain traction, even outside our traditional markets.
“Additionally, on the B2B side, we provide our operators with the marketing tools they need to strengthen their customer acquisition and retention. With respect to the B2C segment, we have improved functionality and responsiveness of the RKingsCompetitions.com website and expanded its marketing efforts from Northern Ireland to encompass the UK as its customer reach.”
Mr. Goodman noted that “the Company’s strong cash position and asset-to-liability ratio of 9:1 as of July 31, 2022, has enabled us to actively pursue expansion plans for both divisions. We are anticipating introducing the RKings Tournament Platform soon, as well as a B2C casino platform, in Mexico. We believe new market penetration is critical to accelerate our overall growth, and success in Mexico – with its compelling B2C options for players – and believe these efforts can lead to significant expansion for GMGI throughout the Latin American market and beyond.”
Mr. Goodman concluded, “We continue to evaluate strategic opportunities in both the B2B and B2C spaces and plan to pursue acquisitions that are suitable and expected to be accretive to earnings.”
