EXPLANATION ON THE OPERATING RESULTS

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

Revenues

In-person revenues decreased by approximately $3.0 million, or 50%, to approximately $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in in-person revenues is primarily due to a decrease in revenue generated from in- person events, which consists of ticket, merchandising, food, and beverage revenue and sponsorship revenue, due to government mandated closures of our facilities, postponed events, and social distancing measures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Multiplatform content revenues decreased by approximately $0.9 million, or 32%, to approximately $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily related to decreased music royalty revenues. Music royalties are estimated each quarter and are subsequently trued up when actual royalties earned are reported to the Company. There was a $0.7 million decrease in music royalties recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, as the result of true up charges recorded in each of the periods.

Interactive revenues increased by approximately $0.9 million, or 20%, to approximately $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in interactive revenues all relates to the WPT business and is primarily attributable to the increase in social gaming revenue due to the mandatory quarantine and stay-at-home measures imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Costs and expenses

In-person costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased by approximately $0.5 million, or 26%, to approximately $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in in-person costs is primarily related to the decrease in in-person revenues as a result of the postponement or cancellation of events due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Multiplatform content costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased by approximately $1.1 million, or 52%, to approximately $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily related to a decrease in production costs incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interactive costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 23%, to approximately $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of increased interactive revenues during the period.

- 4 -

Online operating expenses increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 95%, to approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily as a result of increased software maintenance fees incurred.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by approximately $0.8 million, or 45%, to approximately $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, due to the decrease in events held during 2020 as a result of the COVID- 19 pandemic.

General and administrative expenses were approximately $8.6 million during each of the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Increases in general and administrative costs primarily resulting from increases in accounting, legal, and consulting fees incurred in connection with being a public company and preparing filings, were offset by decreases related to expenses incurred in connection with the merger transaction between Black Ridge Acquisition Corp, Noble Link Global Limited and Allied Esports Media, Inc. (the ''Merger'') as approved by the Company's shareholders on July 5, 2019 during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Stock-based compensation was approximately $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Of the $4.3 million of stock-based compensation recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020, approximately $0.6 million was related to the amortization of equity awards, and approximately $3.7 million was recognized upon the return of cash held in escrow in connection with an escrow agreement with Simon Equity Development, LLC. There was no stock-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 5%, to approximately $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from approximately $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Impairment expense of approximately $1.1 million and $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to our investment in Esports Arena LLC (''ESA'').

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

Revenues

In-person revenues decreased by approximately $2.5 million, or 78%, to approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in in-person revenues is primarily due to a decrease in revenue generated from in-person events, which consists of ticket, merchandising, food, and beverage revenue and sponsorship revenue, due to government mandated closures of our facilities, postponed events, and social distancing measures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Multiplatform content revenues decreased by approximately $1.0 million, or 60%, to approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily related to decreased music royalty revenues. Music royalties are estimated each quarter and are subsequently trued up when actual royalties earned are reported to the Company. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 we recorded negative music royalties of approximately $0.1 million, consisting of estimated quarterly music royalties of approximately $0.2 million, offset by a true up charge for previous quarter of approximately $0.3 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 we recorded positive music royalties of approximately $0.7 million, consisting of estimated quarterly music royalties of approximately $0.3 million, plus an additional true up in the amount of approximately $0.4 million.

Interactive revenues increased by approximately $0.8 million, or 34%, to approximately $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in interactive revenues all relates to the WPT business and is primarily attributable to the increase in subscription revenue and social gaming revenue due to the mandatory quarantine and stay-at-home measures imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Costs and expenses

In-person costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 41%, to approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in in-person costs is primarily related to the decrease in in-person revenues as a result of the postponement or cancellation of events due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interactive costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 44%, to approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily in connection with increased interactive revenues during the period.

Online operating expenses increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 125%, to approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily related to increased software maintenance expenses.

General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $0.6 million, or 14%, to approximately $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from approximately $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in general and administrative costs primarily results from decreases in accounting, legal, and consulting fees incurred in connection with the Merger during the three months ended June 30, 2019, and decreases in bonuses earned during the period.

Stock-based compensation was approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and represents the amortization of stock options and restricted stock granted during September and November of 2019. There was no stock-based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
