Golden Matrix Reports Fiscal 2018 Revenue of $915,804 vs. $120,000 in 2017


LAS VEGAS, Oct. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – Golden Matrix Group Inc. (OTCPK: GMGI) a technology-driven company that designs develops social gaming platforms, systems and content, today announced that for fiscal 2018 ended July 31, the company recorded revenues of $915,804 versus $120,000 in the prior fiscal year. Revenues in 2018 - derived primarily from licensing fees received from gaming operators located in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region - were generated during the last five months of the fiscal year and subsequent to the acquisition of the company’s proprietary gaming technology - along with a licensing and distribution agreement to monetize its deployment.

Golden Matrix CEO, Anthony Goodman, noted that the loss reported in fiscal 2018 was as a result of an expensed nonrecurring acquisition cost of $1,242,812, the company’s gaming assets in 2018 from Luxor Capital LLC, a related-party wholly-owned by Mr. Goodman), and derivative liabilities of $165,514 and amortization of 129,109.

Commenting on GMGI’s strong financial performance, Mr. Goodman noted that while fiscal 2018 benefitted from only five months of operations from its newly acquired businesses, net cash flow provided by operating activities in 2018 was $302,716, compared with $15,129 used in operating activities in fiscal 2017, and cash and cash equivalents of $446,581 at year-end 2018 was a “significant improvement” on $25,167 at year-end 2017. 

Mr. Goodman, said, “We are extremely pleased with the rapid progress we are making in the Asia-Pacific gaming market – the largest in the world - and demonstrating our ability to generate solid recurring monthly sales. With continued increases in the number of gaming operators utilizing our state-of-the-art platform, the number of active users now exceeding one million and growing, and the introduction of exciting proprietary and exclusive gaming content, Golden Matrix is poised to increase its market share in 2019 and maintain strong positive cash flow with rising profitability. Another remarkable achievement has been to all but eliminate Convertible Debt which stood at $1,957,212 in 2016, thus further strengthening the company’s balance sheet.”
