OVERVIEW
Exeo Entertainment, Inc. designs, develops, licenses, manufacturers, and markets
consumer electronics in the video gaming, music and smart TV sector. Our current
business objectives are:
? Complete product development and establish channels of distribution, and
? Expand SKUs within the headphone market for both music and gaming
Activities to date
We incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 12, 2011. For the nine months
ended August 31, 2021, we generated minimal revenues and continue to operate at
a loss. Our activities have centered on the design and engineering of
peripherals in the video gaming, music, and smart TV sector.
We accomplished the following:
1) We completed the molds for the Psyko™ PC model and are working on the molds
for the Psyko™ console unit, and the Psyko®5.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headsets
(with built-in microphone) with external amplifier for Personal Computers.
2) We have an "Exclusive Distributor" Agreement with Axcel Electronics Thailand
Company Limited (Cableicons, Inc.) to distribute and sell the "Ford Officially
Licensed Cell Phone Accessories" in all wholesale and retail channels in the
USA and Canada.
3) We are also working with Vegas Golden Knight NHL team and have designed a
custom Krankz headphone for them.
Products and Services
Products under development include the Psyko™ 5.1 surround sound gaming
headphones for consoles and Krankz™ MAXX Bluetooth™ wireless headphones.
Strategy and Marketing Plan
Manufacturing is established, so we intend on utilizing existing consumer
electronics distributers, such as Synnex Corp. (SNX) and Ingram Micro to
distribute our products to big box retailers such as Best Buy, GameStop, and
Fry's Electronics. We do not have distribution agreements with these companies
at this time.
Competition
Psyko ™ Headphones
While our Psyko™ headphone offering differs from the competition in the method
of 5.1-surround sound delivery, we will face competition from manufacturers with
established channels of distribution, mature capital structures, and
significantly larger marketing budgets. Well established gaming headphone
manufacturers include Turtle Beach; a private company, Tritton - a subsidiary of
Mad Catz Interactive (MCZ), and Astro Gaming which is a subsidiary of Skullcandy
(SKUL).
While other headphone manufacturers replicate 5.1 surround sound through Digital
Signal Processing (DSP), the Psyko™ headphones use a patented method of sound
delivery that doesn't require the use of DSP. Management believes that the
difference in audio quality is a major differentiating factor between our
product offering and what is currently available on the market.
21
Krankz™ Headphones
The driver design provides a deep bass sound with clear midrange audio for a
full-range for use up to 30' distance. These headsets work with most mobile
devices and have a retractable, foldable design with built-in microphone and
noise cancelling feature. We expect to face competition from lifestyle headphone
companies such as Beats by Dr. Dre and Skull candy. These entities are well
established and have a loyal customer following. We expect to carve out a niche
within the market by initially marketing to the X games demographic through
endorsements and sponsorships in Extreme sports such as motocross, supercross,
snowboarding, surfing, skating, and similar such sports.
We are also, working with Vegas Golden Knights NHL team and have designed a
custom Krankz Headphone for them. This is part of the sponsorship agreement we
entered into during 2018 and renewed in 2019.
Management however acknowledges that while it cannot find any commercially
available products that our patents may never be awarded and that we could face
competition from any number of existing video game accessory manufacturers.
Distributor Agreement
We have an "Exclusive Distributor" Agreement with Axcel Electronics Thailand
Company Limited (Cableicons, Inc.) to distribute and sell the "Ford Officially
Licensed Cell Phone Accessories" to all wholesale and retail channels in the USA
and Canada. Here is the link for the online Ford Officially Licensed Cell Phone
Accessories Catalog. https://bit.ly/2Qo1eom
Sources and Availability of Suppliers and Supplies
Currently we have access to an adequate supply of products, from various
manufacturers. These companies and their products are new, not well established,
and are a subject to significant risk and uncertainty.
Dependence on One or a few Major Customers
We do not anticipate dependence on one or a few major customers into the
foreseeable future.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchise Restrictions and Contractual
Obligations and Concessions
We executed a license agreement with Psyko Audio Labs Canada to manufacture and
distribute the Carbon and Krypton line of patented headphones. US Patent #
8,000,486 (for the Psyko Krypton™ surround sound gaming headphones.) With regard
to intellectual property rights associated with Psyko® Headphones, we have a
license to use this mark as well as the patented technology.
We entered into a license agreement with Digital Extreme Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, (also referred to as DXT) for use of certain intellectual
property associated with the products being designed and developed by us. The
Black Widow keyboard is now known as the Zaaz keyboard. DXT worked to design and
develop the Extreme Gamer as well as the Black Widow keyboard. We continue to
work under a license agreement with DXT to advance the use of technologies
designed by DXT. There is no licensing fee paid to DXT during the years ended
November 30, 2014 and 2015.
22
DXT applied to the U.S. PTO for a patent of its Multi Video Game Changer. The
agency assigned an application number of 12/543296 to its application, which was
published on February 25, 2010. The proposed 10 disk Video Game Changer is
designed to interface directly with Sony PS3®, Nintendo Wii®, and Microsoft Xbox
360®. The Company anticipates incorporating Blu-Ray® compatible optics
technology under a license agreement. This would allow users to insert Blu-Ray®
discs into the Video Game Changer, and once connected to the video game console,
to play movies on television. Sony PS3® is now capable of playing Blu-Ray®
discs, but only with a capacity for a single disk. This technology would provide
for the loading of up to 10 DVD's, CD's or Blu-Ray® discs into a single console
that communicates with a video game console via USB. Furthermore, users would be
able to plug in any external hard disc drive ("HDD") directly into the console
via an internal ATPI port, allowing movies, music and pictures to be played
directly from the HDD.
In regard to intellectual property rights associated with Krankz™ Bluetooth®
wireless headphones, we do not have a federally registered trademark as to the
word marks Krankz or Krankz Maxx. Therefore, we do not have the same presumptive
rights which might otherwise apply had we obtained a federally registered
trademark. We have an "Exclusive Distributor" Agreement with Axcel Electronics
Thailand Company Limited (Cableicons, Inc.) which covers the USA and Canada to
Distribute and sell the "Ford Officially Licensed Cell Phone Accessories" in all
wholesale and retail channels. We believe we have intellectual property rights
to this mark under common law. If we are unable to register this mark, we may
use an alternative name for these headphones.
Sponsorship Agreement
On July 13, 2018, the Company entered into a sponsorship agreement for
headphones with Black Knight Sports and Entertainment, LLC (dba Vegas Golden
Knights)("BKSE") for a period through June 2021. During the first NHL season,
the Company was obligated to pay $230,000. For the second NHL season, the
Company is obligated to pay $239,200 and for the third NHL season, the Company
is obligated to pay $248,768. If the team goes into playoffs there could be
additional fees due.
COVID-19
Since the outset of the pandemic the US and worldwide national securities
markets have undergone unprecedented stress due to the uncertainties of the
pandemic and the resulting reactions and outcomes of government, business and
the general population. Closures and disruptions to business in the U.S. due to
the COVID-19 pandemic have led to negative effects on our clients, in some
situations, reducing demand for certain of our products. It is unclear how a
prolonged outbreak with travel, commercial and other similar restrictions, may
adversely affect our business operations and the business operations of our
customers and suppliers. However, we anticipate a prolonged period will have a
negative effect on our business operations.
Subsidiaries
We do not have any subsidiaries.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS RESULTS FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED August 31, 2021 and
2020, RESPECTIVELY
Revenues and Gross Profit
For the three months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized
$2,033 and $5,101 in revenue, respectively. Cost of sales for the quarter ended
August 31, 2021 was $3,043, leading to a gross loss of $1,010 during the period.
In the comparable quarter ended August 31, 2020, revenue was $5,101 and cost of
sales was $3,213, resulting in a loss of $1,888. The Company had an error which
caused an overstatement of revenue by approximately $450 during the quarter
ended May 31, 2021 and corrected it during this quarter. Additionally, the cost
of goods sold includes minimum fees charged by the various sales channels for
our products. These factors created the gross loss during this quarter.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $190,396 and $260,206 for the three months ended August
31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to general and
administrative expenses related to office expense and promotion expense.
Other Income and Expenses
During the course of our business, we experienced a gain from foreign currency
transactions of $88,347 in the three months period ended August 31, 2021,
compared to a loss of $82,933 in the comparable period ended August 31, 2020.
These losses and gains are associated with currency exchange rate fluctuations
as our royalty obligation under the license agreement is stated in Canadian
dollars.
Interest expense associated with obligations to related parties was $1,171 and
$1,171 in the three months periods ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Interest expense and financing expense associated with non-related party
obligations was $55,520 and $1,811 in the three months periods ended August 31,
2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the Company
issued the convertible promissory notes during the six months ended August 31,
2021.
COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS RESULTS FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED August 31, 2021 and
2020, RESPECTIVELY
Revenues and Gross Profit
For the nine months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $
10,757 and $19,377 in revenue, respectively. Cost of sales for the quarter ended
August 31, 2021 was $9,948, leading to a gross profit of $809 during the period.
In the comparable quarter ended August 31, 2020, revenue was $19,377 and cost of
sales was $15,327, resulting in a gross profit of $4,050.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $894,129 and $867,744 for the nine months ended August
31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily due to general and
administrative expenses related to sponsorship fees.
Other Income and Expenses
During the course of our business, we experienced a loss from foreign currency
transactions of $50,931 in the nine months period ended August 31, 2021,
compared to a loss of $29,356 in the comparable period ended August 31, 2020.
These losses and gains are associated with currency exchange rate fluctuations
as our royalty obligation under the license agreement is stated in Canadian
dollars.
Interest expense associated with obligations to related parties was $3,489 and
$3,501 in the nine months periods ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
24
Interest expense and financing expense associated with non-related party
obligations was $76,376 and $44,649 in the nine months periods ended August 31,
2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the Company
recorded the modification of warrants during the three months ended February 29,
2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Other than what is described in this Report, the Company had no material
commitments for capital expenditures at August 31, 2021.
On May 25, 2011, Exeo Entertainment, Inc. entered into an exclusive license
agreement with Digital Extreme Technologies, Inc. whereby Exeo Entertainment,
Inc. will manufacture and market the Extreme Gamer and Zaaz keyboard. Exeo
Entertainment, Inc. will pay Digital Extreme Technologies, Inc. a 5% royalty fee
on gross sales of both products.
Unless the Royalty Agreement is modified by Psyko Audio Labs Canada and the
Company, at January 1, 2016, the Company is obligated to pay minimum monthly
royalties of $80,000 (CDN $100,000) per quarter for the remaining term of the
contract. No such modification has been made as of the date of this report. The
company carries the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations as our royalty
obligation under the license agreement is stated in Canadian dollars. For the
nine months ended August 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company made no payments towards
this obligation and no royalty invoices have been received from Psyko Audio
Labs. Royalty payable was $2,063,391 as of August 31, 2021.
The Company entered into the office lease extension agreement with the landlord
in September 2020 for two years and is set to expire on September 30, 2022. The
monthly minimum rental payment is $9,162 from October 1, 2020 to September 30,
2021 and $9,391 from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022.
Cash Flow Information
On August 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of approximately
($3,064,052). On November 30, 2020, the Company had working capital of
approximately $(2,174,998). The decrease in working capital of $889,054
primarily relates to an increase in royalty payable in the amount of $290,473
and accounts payable in the amount of $256,318 during the nine months ending
August 31, 2021. The Company believes it has insufficient cash resources to meet
its liquidity requirements for the next 12 months.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $68,041 and $170,852 at August 31,
2021 and November 30, 2020, respectively. This represents a decrease in cash of
$102,811.
Cash used in Operating Activities
The Company used $382,386 of cash for operating activities in the nine months
ended August 31, 2021 as compared to using $560,054 of cash for operating
activities in the nine months ended August 31, 2020. This decrease in cash used
in operating activities, is primarily attributed to increase in net loss,
accounts payable, and royalty payable.
Cash used in Investing Activities
The Company used $8,175 of cash for investing activities in the nine months
ended August 31, 2021 as compared to using $7,180 of cash for investing
activities in the nine months ended August 31, 2020.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Financing activities in the nine months ended August 31, 2021 provided $287,750
of cash as compared to providing $571,084 of cash in the nine months ended
August 31, 2020. The difference is attributable to the decrease in cash receipts
from sales of the Company's common stock and current year proceeds from
convertible notes payable and prior year proceeds from exercise of warrants.
25
The Company's principal sources and uses of funds are investments from
accredited investors. The Company would need to raise additional capital in
order to meet its business plan. Management intends to secure additional funds
using borrowing or the further sale of Regulation D, Section 506 securities to
accredited investors in the future.
The Company anticipates that its future liquidity requirements will arise from
the need to fund its growth, pay its current obligations and future capital
expenditures. The primary sources of funding for such requirements are expected
to be cash generated from operations and raising additional funds from private
sources and/or debt financing.
Going Concern Consideration
Management included an explanatory paragraph in their footnotes on the
accompanying financial statements expressing concerns about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note
disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure.
As of August 31, 2021, the Company has cumulative losses totaling $13,066,449
and negative working capital of $3,064,052. The Company incurred a net loss of
$1,023,341 for the nine months ended August 31, 2021.
We have negative working capital and have not yet received significant revenues
from sales of products. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Company has
adversely affected our business, which the demand for our products has
decreased. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that
might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Since the outset of the pandemic the US and worldwide national securities
markets have undergone unprecedented stress due to the uncertainties of the
pandemic and the resulting reactions and outcomes of government, business and
the general population. The demand for our products has decreased and the
ability of our customers to make payment for the products they currently
purchase has been negatively impacted. It is unclear how a prolonged outbreak
with travel, commercial and other similar restrictions, may adversely affect our
business operations and the business operations of our customers and suppliers.
However, we anticipate a prolonged period will have a negative effect on our
business operations.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our generating cash
from the sale of our common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining
future profitable operations. Management's plans include increasing revenue,
selling our equity securities and/or obtaining debt financing to fund our
capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance
we will be successful in these.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
