INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. (NASDAQ:HDRAU) Files An 8-K Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 1.01Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

to the Sale Agreement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement at the closing of the Business Combination, obligating us to file one or more resale shelf registration statements under the Securities Act to register the Purchaser Shares (as defined below) (and other Registrable Securities, if any, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) issued to the Vendors in the Business Combination. The shares purchased by our Macquarie Sponsor in the Macquarie Forward Purchase (both defined below) are also subject to similar registration rights. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that at any time and from time to time on or after the consummation of the Business Combination, holders of at least a majority in interest of the then outstanding number of Purchaser Securities (and other Registrable Securities, if any) may make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act for all or part of the Registrable Securities, in which case the Company is to effect such registration as soon as practicable, but not more than 45 days after such demand (or 90 days in the event the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) reviews and has written comments on the registration statement). The Company will not be obligated to effect more than three such registrations for each requesting holder. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for unlimited piggyback rights to register Registrable Securities under any registration statement otherwise filed by the Company (with certain limited exceptions), and for unlimited registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration statement that may be available at the time. The expenses of the registration will be borne by the Company (although incremental selling expenses such underwriters commissions and discount and brokerage fees will be borne by the selling holders). The Registration Rights Agreement contains certain customary provisions regarding such matters as the possible participation of other security holders, potential reduction of shares registered in an underwritten offering or in a piggyback registration, the Companys right to temporarily defer registration under certain specified circumstances, the Companys indemnification of selling holders of Registrable Securities against certain potential claims arising under the Registration Statement, and other matters.

At the closing of the Business Combination, the Company, Hydra Industries Sponsor LLC (our Hydra Sponsor), MIHI LLC (our Macquarie Sponsor) and the Vendors as described in Schedule 4 to the Sale Agreement, entered into the Stockholders Agreement, which provides, among other things, for the composition of the Companys board of directors following the Business Combination and certain related matters. The disclosure set forth under Management After the Business CombinationStockholders Agreement is incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.

Our Macquarie Sponsor previously entered into a contingent forward purchase contract with the Company, dated as of October 24, 2014, which was included as Exhibit 10.12 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 29, 2014 (the Macquarie Forward Purchase), to purchase, in a private placement for gross proceeds of $20,004,347, to occur concurrently with the consummation of our initial business combination, 2,000,000 units on the same terms as the sale of the units in our initial public offering at $10.00 per unit (which includes 2,000,000 Warrants for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 rights which will be exchanged for 200,000 shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Common Stock)) (Private Placement Units), and 500,000 shares of our Common Stock. The Macquarie Forward Purchase was consummated concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination.

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, on December 23, 2016, the Company and the Vendors also entered into a Completion Arrangements Agreement documenting mutually agreed adjustments to the allocation of transaction consideration between cash and shares.

The Companys employment agreement with Daniel B. Silvers became effective upon consummation of the Business Combination and the disclosure set forth in the Current Report on Form 8-K of the Company filed December 21, 2016 is incorporated by reference herein.

Business Combination

The disclosure set forth under Introductory Note above is incorporated in this Item 2.01 by reference. The material terms and conditions of the Sale Agreement are described on pages 73 to 75 of the Companys definitive proxy statement dated November 21, 2016 (the Proxy Statement) in the section entitled The Business Combination Proposal, which is incorporated by reference herein.

The Business Combination was approved by the Companys stockholders at a special meeting of the Companys stockholders held on December 22, 2016 (the Special Meeting). At the Special Meeting, 5,879,804 shares of the Companys Common Stock were voted in favor of the proposal to approve the Business Combination, 593,601 shares of the Companys Common Stock were voted against that proposal, holders of 99 shares of the Companys common stock abstained and broker non-votes totaled 50,503 shares.

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the Closing), the Company redeemed a total of 1,860,681 shares of its common stock to the terms of the Companys first amended and restated certificate of incorporation, resulting in a total cash payment from the Companys trust account to redeeming stockholders of $18,699,844.05.

As previously stated, the Sale Agreement reflected a transaction value for the Business Combination of 200 million/$264 million, plus an earn-out of up to 2.5 million shares of the Company (at an assumed price of $10.00/share), expected to represent approximately 96 million/$126 million of equity value after adjusting for the maintenance of debt and certain other liabilities (the foregoing conversions from GBP to USD are based on the USD/GBP exchange rate of $1.32/1.00 as of July 13, 2016).Although equivalent amounts are also expressed in both UK pounds and US dollars, the payments have been made in UK pounds in the amounts stated. Exclusive of the potential earn-out, the consideration paid for the equity and shareholder loan notes of the Target Parent and the Inspired Group was the aggregate of the Base Consideration (as defined below), less a fixed amount of Accruing Negative Consideration (21,500 per day from but excluding July 2, 2016 through and including the closing of the Business Combination).

The Base Consideration paid for the equity and shareholder loan notes to the Sale Agreement equaled (i) 100,363,394/$132,479,680, plus (ii) any amount by which the Companys transaction expenses (Purchaser Costs) referred to in Schedule 6 to the Sale Agreement exceeds 8,237,909/$10,874,040, minus (iii) certain expenses of the Vendors noticed by the Institutional Vendors Representative, not to exceed 3,000,000/$3,960,000, minus (iv) certain excess interest payments owing on the Inspired Groups existing financing arrangements.

The Vendors were paid the Base Consideration, adjusted for the Accruing Negative Consideration (the Completion Payment), in newly-issued shares of Company common stock (Purchaser Shares) at a value of $10.00 per share (the Stock Consideration), as mutually agreed in the Completion Arrangements Agreement described in Item 1.01 above.

After giving effect to the redemptions described above and the issuance of the Stock Consideration, we had outstanding as of December 23, 2016 20,199,391 shares of our Common Stock, of which 11,801,369 shares, or 58.4 %, were issued by the Company to the Vendors and 5,523,927 shares, or 27.3%, were issued to insiders of the Company or to public stockholders to the Companys initial public offering. Such outstanding securities do not include (i) 14,065 shares of common stock that will be paid to certain minority shareholders of the Inspired Group on January 4, 2017; (ii) up to 3,000,000 shares of our common stock issuable to our Incentive Plan and Second Plan (defined below); (iii) an aggregate of 164,536 shares purchased by certain members of Inspireds management on December 29, 2016 to their transaction bonus arrangements (as described in Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of AssetsRecent Sales of Unregistered Securities below) and (iv) shares underlying the Companys 19,079,230 outstanding Warrants.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 combines the audited historical consolidated balance sheet of Target as of September 24, 2016 with the unaudited historical condensed balance sheet of Hydra Industries as of September 30, 2016, giving effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated as of that date.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statement for the twelve months ended September 30, 2016 combines the audited historical consolidated statement of operations of Target for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2016 with the unaudited historical condensed statement of operations of Hydra Industries for the twelve months ended September 30, 2016, giving effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on October 1, 2015.

The historical financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are related and/or directly attributable to the Business Combination, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the combined company. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an accurate understanding of the combined company upon consummation of the Business Combination.

The historical financial information of Target was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Target as of September 24, 2016 and September 26, 2015 and for the fiscal periods ended September 24, 2016, September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014 included elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K. The historical information of Hydra Industries was derived from the audited financial statements of Hydra Industries for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the unaudited condensed financial statements of Hydra Industries for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 beginning on page F-1 of the Proxy Statement, which are incorporated herein by reference.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Inspired Gaming Group included in Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the analysis of the Inspired Gaming Groups fiscal 2016 set forth below under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Hydra Industries Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations beginning on page 114 of the Proxy Statement and the historical financial statements and notes thereto of the Company beginning on page F-1 of the Proxy Statement and the historical financial statements, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience. Target and Hydra Industries have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this method of accounting, Hydra Industries is treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on Target stockholders having a majority of the voting power of the combined company, Target comprising the ongoing operations of the combined entity, Target comprising a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and Targets senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is treated as the equivalent of Target issuing stock for the net assets of Hydra Industries, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Hydra Industries are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Target.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to Hydra Industries extension of the date by which it has to consummate a Business Combination. As a result of the extension amendment, 3,415,392 shares of common stock were presented for redemption. The Company paid cash in the aggregate amount of $34,153,920, or $10.00 per share, to redeeming shareholders which was released from the Trust Account. In addition, the pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the contribution of $0.05 per share, or $229,230, to the Trust Account for each public share that was not redeemed in connection with the extension amendment.

to the Sale Agreement, the Base Consideration paid for the equity and shareholder loan notes to the Sale Agreement equaled (i) 100,363,394, plus any amount by which the Companys transaction expenses (Purchaser Costs) referred to in Schedule 6 to the Sale Agreement exceeded 8,237,909, minus (iii) certain expenses of the Selling Group noticed by its representatives, not to exceed 3,000,000, minus (iv) certain excess interest payments owing on the Inspired Groups existing financing arrangements. The Selling Group was paid the Base Consideration, adjusted for the Accruing Negative Consideration (the Completion Payment), in newly-issued shares of Hydra common stock (Purchaser Shares) at a value of $10.00 per share (the Stock Consideration).

As a result of the Business Combination, after 1,860,681 shares of common stock were redeemed and converted into cash, shares issued to the Selling Group represented approximately 58.4% of the Companys Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Business Combination, and the shares owned by the other Hydra Industries stockholders represented approximately 41.6% of the Companys outstanding Common Stock, based on the number of shares of Hydra Industries common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2016.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared based on 1,860,681 shares of the Company common stock redeemed at the Closing at a conversion price of $10.05 per share, to the existing certificate of incorporation of the Company and the common stock share issuances described above.

Included in the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements are 11,801,369 shares of the Companys common stock issued to Target stockholders.

(A) Derived from the audited consolidated statements of operations of Target for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2016.
(B) Derived from the unaudited condensed statements of operations of Hydra Industries for the twelve months ended September 30, 2016.

(1) To eliminate unrealized gain (loss) and interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account as of the beginning of the period.
(2)

To eliminate direct, incremental costs of the Business Combination which are reflected in the historical financial statements of Target and Hydra Industries in the amount of $5,644 and $2,156, respectively, as of September 30, 2016.

(3) To record compensation expense for Daniel Silvers, assuming his employment agreement entered into in connection with the Business Combination was effective as of the beginning of the period.
(4) To record amortization of additional directors and officers insurance policy premium incurred in connection with the Business Combination as of the beginning of the period.
(5) To record amortization of debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the extension of the maturity date of the Targets senior debt as of the beginning of the period.
(6) To eliminate interest expense on shareholder loan notes exchanged and purchased in connection with Business Combination as of the beginning of the period.
(7) To record normalized income tax benefit of 20.0% for pro forma financial presentation purposes.
(8) As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the period presented. Weighted average common shares outstandingbasic and diluted is calculated as follows:

Twelve Months Ended September 30, 2016
Hydra Industries weighted average shares outstanding 3,037,318
Hydra Industries shares andrights converted to shares issued to Macquarie 2,700,000
Hydra Industries rights converted to shares 800,000
Hydra Industries shares subject to redemption reclassified to equity 1,505,322
Hydra Industries shares issued to vendors 174,095
Hydra Industries shares issued in Business Combination 11,801,369
Weighted average shares outstanding 20,018,104
Percent of shares owned by Target holders 59.0%
Percent of shares owned by Hydra Industries and Macquarie 41.0%
Weighted average shares calculation, basic and diluted
Existing Target holders 11,801,369
Hydra Industries holders and Macquarie 8,216,735
Weighted average shares, basic and diluted 20,018,104

The computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of warrants to purchase 9,539,615 shares of the Companys common stock because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Inspired Gaming Group is set forth in the Proxy Statement in the section entitled Targets Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations beginning on page 128, which is incorporated by reference herein. That discussion pertains to the Inspired Gaming Groups financial position and results of operations for the annual periods specified therein. We have set forth below a comparable discussion with respect to the Inspired Gaming Groups results of operations for Fiscal 2015 and Fiscal 2016 and financial condition as of the Business Combination. The information in the Proxy Statement section entitled Information about Target is also incorporated by reference herein.

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations of the Inspired Gaming Group should be read in conjunction with the Inspired Gaming Groups audited financial statements for the years ended September 24, 2016 and September 26, 2015 and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K. the Inspired Gaming Groups actual results may not be indicative of future performance. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K in the sections entitles Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Certain monetary amounts, percentages and other figures included in this Current Report on Form 8-K have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them, and figures expressed as percentages in the text may not total 100% or, as applicable, when aggregated, may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the percentages that precede them.

We are a global gaming technology company, supplying Virtual Sports and Server Based Gaming (SBG) systems to regulated lottery, betting and gaming operators worldwide. Our strategic priorities are:

i)to seek to extend our leadership positions in each of Virtual Sports and Server Based Gaming by developing new, omni-channel products;

ii)to continue to invest in content and technology in order to grow our existing customers revenue; and

iii)to add new customers by expanding in underpenetrated markets and newly-regulated jurisdictions.

Segments

We report our operations in two business segments Server Based Gaming and Virtual Sports representing our different products and services. We operate our business and evaluate our business performance, resource allocation and capital spending on an operating segment level, where possible. The Company uses its operating results and identified assets of each operating segment in order to make prospective operating decisions. Although our revenues and cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) are reported exclusively by segment, we do include an unallocated column in our financial statements for certain expenses including depreciation and amortization as well as selling, general and administrative expenses. Unallocated balance sheet line items include items that are a shared resource and therefore not allocated between operating segments.

Foreign exchange

Our results are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of the translation of foreign functional currencies into US dollars and the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions or balances. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations represents the difference between current rates and prior-period rates applied to current activity. The largest geographic region in which we operate is the United Kingdom and the British pound (GBP) is considered to be our functional currency. Our reporting currency is the US dollar (USD). Our results are translated from the functional currency of GBP into the reporting currency using average rates for profit and loss transactions and the applicable spot rates for period end balances. The effect of translating the functional currency into the reporting currency, as well as translating foreign subsidiaries that have a different functional currency into the functional currency, is reported separately in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. We derived approximately 27%, 25% and 19% of our revenue from sales to customers outside of the United Kingdom in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

In the section Results of Operations below, the currency impact shown has been calculated as current period GBP:USD rate used less prior period rate used, multiplied by the current period amount in the functional currency, and as such details the difference between GBP and USD movements. The remaining difference is therefore calculated as the difference in the functional currency, multiplied by the prior period average GBP:USD rate.

Goodwill and intangible impairment charges

A goodwill impairment charge of $1.0 million was recorded in the period ending September 26, 2015, in relation to the goodwill arising from the acquisition of Merkur Inspired Ltd, due to uncertainty of future positive cash flows. There were no goodwill impairment charges recorded in the period ending September 24, 2016.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. The Company has disclosed significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the audited consolidated financial statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K. We consider certain of these accounting policies to be critical, as they require managements highest degree of judgment, estimates and assumptions. While management believes its estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they are based on information presently available and actual results may differ significantly from these estimates due to changes in judgments, assumptions and conditions.

Revenue Recognition

We derive revenue principally from the sale and rental of our Server Based Gaming (SBG) terminals and related services, including content provision and servicing, to regulated retail betting outlets, casinos and other gaming operators, and licensing of our Virtual Sports gaming software and related services to regulated virtual sports retail, mobile and online operators. We evaluate the recognition of revenue based on the criteria set forth in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605) and ASC 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition (ASC 985). Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:

1.Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists

2.The price to the customer is fixed or determinable

3.Delivery has occurred, title has been transferred, and any acceptance terms have been fulfilled; and

4.Collectability is probable

For our multiple-deliverable arrangements which include hardware containing software that functions together with the hardware to deliver its essential functionality and undelivered non-software services, deliverables are separated into more than one unit of accounting when: (i) the delivered element(s) have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis and (ii) delivery of the undelivered element(s) is probable and substantially in the control of the Company. When the final undelivered element(s) are non-software services and non-hardware, those deliverables are recognized on a ratable basis over the remaining term of the arrangement.

We determine the relative selling price for deliverables in the scope of ASC 605 based on the following selling price hierarchy:

1.Vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), (i.e., the price we charge when the product or service is sold separately) if available,

2.Third-party evidence (TPE) of fair value (i.e., the price charged by others for similar products and services) if VSOE is not available, or

3.our best estimate of selling price (BESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available.

Our multiple-deliverable arrangements may also contain one or more software deliverables in the scope of ASC 985-605. The revenue for these multiple-deliverable arrangements is allocated to the software deliverables and the non-software deliverables based on the relative selling prices of all of the deliverables in the arrangement using the fair value hierarchy outlined above. In circumstances where the Company cannot determine VSOE or TPE of the selling price for any of the deliverables in the arrangement, BESP is used for the purpose of allocating the arrangement consideration between software and non-software deliverable.

Revenue is allocated to the software deliverables based on the relative fair value of each element, and fair value is determined using VSOE. Where VSOE does not exist for the undelivered software element, revenue is deferred until either the undelivered element is delivered or VSOE is established, whichever occurs first. When the final undelivered software element is services, the related revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over the remaining service period. When VSOE of a delivered element has not been established, but VSOE exists for the undelivered elements, the Company uses the residual method to recognize revenue when the fair value of all undelivered elements is determinable. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement consideration is allocated to the delivered elements and is recognized as revenue.

In addition to the general policies discussed above, the following are the specific revenue recognition policies for our revenue streams.

Server Based Gaming

Revenue from SBG terminals, access to our content and SBG platform, including electronic table gaming products is recognized in accordance with the criteria set forth in ASC 605 and is usually based upon a contracted percentage of the operators net winnings from the terminals daily use. Where this is not the case, revenue is based upon a fixed daily or weekly rental fee. We recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the arrangement, or when not specified over the expected customer relationship period. Performance obligations under these arrangements may include the delivery and installation of our SBG terminals for use over a term, as well as service obligations related to hardware repairs and server based content and maintenance.

We sometimes bill for SBG arrangements up front in order to help fund our working capital and development requirements, or at the request of a customer. Upfront fees on SBG arrangements are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement or when not specified over the expected customer relationship period. Hardware sales take the form of a transfer of ownership of our developed gaming terminals, and are recognized upon delivery as they have value to our customers on a stand-alone basis.

Virtual Sports

Revenue from licensing of our gaming software is recognized in accordance with the criteria set forth in ASC 985-605. Virtual sports retail revenue, which includes the provision of virtual sports content and services to retail betting outlets, and virtual sports online and mobile revenue, which includes the provision of virtual sports content and services to mobile and online operators, is based upon a contracted percentage of the operators net winnings or a fixed rental fee. We recognize revenue for these fees on a daily or weekly basis over the term of the arrangement, these arrangements typically include a perpetual license billed up front, granted to the customer for access to our gaming platform and content. As we do not have VSOE for the undelivered elements in virtual sports arrangements, revenue from the licensing of perpetual licenses is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement, or when not specified, over the expected customer relationship period.

Revenue from the development of bespoke games licenced on a perpetual basis to mobile and online operators is recognized on delivery and acceptance by the customer. We have no ongoing service obligations subsequent to customer acceptance of our bespoke games.

Period ended September 24, 2016 compared to September 26, 2015

Revenue

Revenue declined $7.8 million from $127.6 million to $119.8 million, including negative currency translation of $(8.8) million. Virtual Sports revenue increased $8.5 million excluding currency impacts driven by growth from both existing customers and new customers and increased activity on our remote gaming server (RGS), Virgo. This was in part offset by declines in SBG revenue of $13.9 million or $7.6 million excluding currency impacts. The main contributors of the underlying variance were the fall in hardware sales of $4.1 million and the exit of our final analogue contract, contributing $3.9 million of the variance.

Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization

Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, which includes machine cost of sales, consumables and royalties and connectivity costs, decreased $3.8 million in the period from $24.2 million to $20.4 million, of which $1.5 million was attributable to currency translation effects. The majority of the remaining difference was due to the reduction in hardware sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general, and administrative (SGA) expenses are defined to contain staff costs (including outsourced costs), travel costs, professional fees, technology costs (including hosting fees, data centres etc.) and professional services. SGA increased $0.4 million from $65.2 million to $65.6 million, with reductions due to currency of $4.8 million offsetting underlying increases of $5.2 million. The main reason for the increase was due to costs of $6.3 million of professional fees relating to the upcoming Hydra acquisition, recorded in the period. Cost items not adjusted for in the Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP benchmark) below increased $2.4 million in the period, excluding currency impacts, due to increased labor costs as a result of higher staff headcount and higher London facility costs.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization charge decreased by $4.4 million from $39.4 million to $35.0 million, of which $2.6 million was attributable to currency movements. The remaining variance reflects reduced depreciation from Italian assets as these assets reached residual value, as well as a goodwill impairment in the prior period of $1.0 million. These decreases were offset in part an impairment of social gaming assets in the period ending September 24, 2016, of $1.2 million.

Interest income

Interest income reduced by $0.4 million in the period to $0.3 million due to a fall in foreign exchange gains on currencies held.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased $0.2 million to $58.3 million. Currency impacts reduced the charge by $4.3 million, resulting in a constant currency increase of $4.5 million due to the compounding PIK balance (see Liquidity and Capital Resources section).

Other Finance Costs

Other finance costs increased reduced by $0.1 million in the period to $0.2 million.

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax expense of $0.3 million for the period ending September 24, 2016 compared to $0.6 million for the period ending September 26, 2015. The effective tax rates for the periods were (0.5%) and (1%) respectively with reductions in UK and mainland Europe tax payable.

Period ended September 26, 2015 compared to September 27, 2014

Revenues

Revenue decreased by $19.2 million, from $146.8 million to $127.6 million, including currency translation impact of $8.6 million. The variance reflects a reduction in non-profit making hardware sales of $15.7 million (at constant currency) and reduction in UK SBG performance of $0.8 million as a result of machine gaming duty increases. This was offset by increases in UK SBG hardware sales of $1.8 million and Virtual Sports of $3.5 million, excluding currency impact, driven by strong growth of existing UK based customers and annualization of Italian customers.

Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization

Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization decreased by $25.9 million, from $50.1 million to $24.2 million, including a reduction due to currency impacts of $1.6 million. This reflects decreases in costs associated with machine sales in the UK of $27.1 million and $1.0 million associated with Italy. This was offset by increases in costs associated with additional hardware sales to Greece of $2.0 million, consumables associated with UK SBG terminals of $1.1 million and other increases of $0.8 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

SGA expenses decreased by $1.7 million, from $66.9 million to $65.2 million, including a reduction due to exchange rate movements of $4.4 million. The increases in underlying spend include increases in a number of categories, representing increased development in key strategic areas. The key movements include an increase in staff costs of $2.3 million, pension cost effects of $0.7 million and items classed internally as exceptional costs (see Adjusted EBITDA benchmark below) of $1.1 million. This was offset in part by an increase in capitalized labor due to the change in composition of the labor force, with an increase in development resources.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense declined by $3.1 million, from $42.5 million to $39.4 million. This was driven predominantly by currency impacts of $2.7 million.

Interest income

Interest income increased by $0.2 million to $0.6 million reflecting increased cash balances as well as the impact of the prior period including $0.4 million of gains in relation to fair valuing of forward contracts as detailed in note 13 of the audited consolidated financial statements.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased from $56.1 million to $58.1 million. Currency translation impacts reduced the charge by $3.9 million, leaving a constant currency increase of $5.9 million. This was attributable to both the increase in external funding as well as the compounding PIK note balances which contributed a $3.8 million and $4.7 million interest expense increase, respectively. Partially offsetting this is an increase in the amortisation of loan notes in the period to September 27, 2014 due to a write off of fees equal to $2.0 million relating to previous financing. The remaining difference is attributable to a change in forward contract fair values as well as retranslation of cash balances.

Other finance income/(costs)

This represents the difference between expected return on pension scheme assets and interest costs on pension scheme liabilities, being a net cost when interest costs are higher. In the period ending September 27, 2014 the net position was a gain of $0.3 million, versus a loss in the period ending September, 26 2015 of $0.2 million.

Income taxes

We recorded an income tax expense $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the periods ended September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014, respectively. The effective tax rates for the periods ending September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014 were (1%) and (0.5%) respectively. Within the UK, the Company has operating losses available which offset the majority of taxable income. The Company only pays income taxes in certain foreign tax jurisdictions where taxable income is present. UK taxes included in the income tax expense for the period ending September 26, 2015 were $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the period ending September 27, 2014. Foreign taxes, predominantly relating to mainland Europe, included in the income tax expense were $0.5 million and $0.2 million for the periods ended September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014, respectively.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

Server Based Gaming

Our Server Based Gaming business segment designs, develops, markets and distributes a comprehensive portfolio of products and services through our fully digital network architecture. Our customers include UK licensed betting offices (LBOs), arcade and bingo operators and lotteries, in both the UK and continental Europe, as well as government affiliated and licensed operators.

Revenue is generated from SBG through both product sales and long-term participation agreements with our customers, which includes access to our server based gaming platform and selection of game titles, over a term usually of three to five years. Our participation contracts are typically structured to pay us a percentage of net win (defined as net revenue to our customer, after deducting player winnings and any relevant regulatory levies) from SBG terminals placed in our customers facilities, which include retail outlets, casinos and other gaming operations or SBG gaming software used to facilitate customer players through mobile or online devices. We recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the contract.

Revenue growth for our SBG business is primarily driven by the number of customers, the number of SBG machines in operation, the net win performance and the net win percentage that is contracted with our customers.

SBG End of Period Installed Base is equal to the number of deployed SBG terminals at the end of each period which have been placed on a participation basis. SBG participation revenue, which comprises the majority of SBG Service revenue, is directly related to the machine installed base. This is the medium by which customers generate turnover and distribute a revenue share to the Company. To the extent that all other KPIs remain constant, the larger the installed base is, the higher the Companys revenue will be for that period. Management gives careful consideration to this KPI in terms of driving growth across the segment. The US GAAP revenues are derived from the performance of the installed base as described by the Gross and Net Win key performance indicators. If the closing terminal base is materially different to the average installed base this will give an indication of future performance. This metric is particularly useful for new customers or markets to indicate the progress being made with respect to entering new territories or jurisdictions.

SBG Average Installed Base is the average installed base of terminals during the period. Therefore, it is more closely aligned to the revenue in the period. This metric is particularly useful for existing customers or markets to provide comparisons of historical size and performance.

Customer Gross Win per unit per day is a key performance indicator used by our internal decision makers to (i) assess impact on the Companys revenue (ii) determine changes in the strength of the overall market and (iii) evaluate the impacts of regulatory change and our new content releases on our customers. Customer gross win per unit per day is the total cash generated in all SBG terminals in which the Company takes a participation revenue share across all territories in the period, being the difference between the amounts staked less winnings to players divided by the average installed base of SBG terminals in the period which is divided by the number of days in the period. SBG revenue share income accrued in the period is derived from Customer Gross Win accrued in the period after deducting gaming taxes (defined as a regulatory levy paid by the Customer to government bodies) and applying the Companys revenue share percentage. Our internal decision makers believe Customer Gross Win is a meaningful measure because it represents a transparent view of customer operating performance that is unaffected by our revenue share percentage and allows management to (1) readily view operating trends, (2) perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between customers and (3) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different markets in which we operate.

Customer Net Win per unit per day is Customer Gross Win per unit per but after the deduction of gaming taxes. Overall SBG revenue from terminals placed on a participation basis can therefore be described as the product of the average installed base, the customer net win per unit per day, the number of days in the period, and blended participation rate, reflecting the average across multiple jurisdictions, customers, and contracts.

The Inspired blended participation rate is the weighted average revenue share percentage across all terminals on the estate where revenue is earned on a participation basis.

Key events that impacted results for the period ended September 24, 2016

Our UK SBG terminals in Licenced Betting Offices (LBOs) generated gross win (defined as stake less amounts returned to player, before gaming tax deductions) growth of 6% year on year against a backdrop of increased gaming taxes for approximately half of the period, reducing net win growth to 3%. Average volumes across our total UK estate grew 3% over the period.

Our Italian SBG terminal business experienced growth in gross win of 7%, due to the release of new titles, including Diamond Goddess and Regina delle Nevi (Snow Queen). In Italy, we also completed contract extensions with Lottomatica and Sisal.

In Latin America we introduced new cabinet designs for the Casino, Arcade and newly regulated Ruta markets.

In Greece, whilst we were disappointed that we werent able to launch our SBG terminals in the period, we were informed of positive regulatory developments post period-end which we expect to give us the ability to launch in 2017.

Key events that impacted results for the fiscal period ended September 26, 2015

For our SBG customers, we continued to focus on growing our market share and expanding machine deployments in markets that require minimal capital expenditure. In April of 2015, the UK Code of Conduct was implemented, which required significant changes throughout the UK gaming market, resulting in the changes to player’s experience and increasing player protection. This required significant modification of our existing platform and gaming applications which were successfully implemented. In addition, in the UK we completed the finalisation of the upgrade of the SBG Terminal estate to our new Eclipse terminal bringing the total build and installed base to over 16,000 in less than two years.

We also completed a contract to deploy 3,960 SBG terminals in Greece, of which approximately one quarter were delivered during the period. These are ready to deploy but have yet to go live due to regulatory delays in Greece, with rollout now expected in 2017. These terminals will earn revenue on a participation basis.

On December 23, 2014, we acquired 50% of Merkur Inspired Ltd, now renamed Inspired Gaming (Italy) Ltd, a joint venture with Merkur Gaming GmbH in which we previously owned 50%. The acquisition of this interest, for consideration of 1, gives us 100% of the equity.

In the period, the acquisition of Inspired Gaming (Italy) Ltd generated additional revenue for the company of $1.7 million, with extra SGA costs of $1.7 million for the 9 months ending September 26, 2015. The acquisition gave us the ability to take control of the existing customer contracts, control all future customer negotiations and implement cost reductions. At the same time as the equity acquisition we also purchased over 3,000 SBG terminals from Merkur Gaming for continued supply to the Italian SBG market.

Key events that impacted results for the fiscal period ended September 27, 2014

The Company successfully executed a five-year contract extension with a major UK customer for supply of SBG terminals to its estate, with 75% of the terminal contract extended for five years and 25% for between three and five years. At the period-end over 11,300 Eclipse terminals had been installed across the UK estate retail venues. New Italian SBG contracts were signed with HBG and Cogetech, to deploy a combined total of 1,150 machines. We continued deployment of SBG terminals in Colombia with average volumes increasing over 60% year on year.

Period ended September 24, 2016 compared to September 26, 2015

Revenue

Total SBG revenue declined by $13.9 million from $100.4 million to $86.4 million, including negative currency translation of ($6.3 million). Underlying hardware revenue reduced $4.7 million due to high levels in the prior year. SBG service revenue declined $9.2 million, of which $5.8 million was driven by currency differences. On an underlying basis the reduction was caused by the exit of our final analogue contract in the UK which resulted in a reduction of $3.9 million.

Average Installed Base increased 1.2% to 26,227 as reductions in Italy were offset by increased volume in the UK. Customer Gross win per unit per day increased 5.5% year on year driven by an increase in the UK gross win per unit per day of 4% to 136 and Italian gross win per unit per day of 7% rising to 85. Due to increases in the gaming levies, including in the UK where machine game duty increased from 20% to 25% in March of 2015, Customer Net Win per unit per day increased by only 3%. Our blended participation rate decreased from 6.7% to 6.4% as a higher proportion of terminals are located in the UK, where rates are typically lower but Customer Net Win is higher.

Segment Operating Profit

SBG operating profit decreased by $0.7 million from $25.3 million to $24.6 million, including $1.8 million from currency changes. Reductions in revenue of $13.9 million were partly offset by reductions in the cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortisation) due to reduced hardware revenue, and a decline in depreciation and amortization expense of $6.7 million. Depreciation decreased due to currency impacts of $2.0 million and UK Casino and Bingo and Italian assets having reached their residual values. SGA expenses decreased by $2.9 million, of which $1.4 million is due to currency movements. On an underlying basis there were savings in UK operations due to lower headcount and logistics costs.

Period ended September 26, 2015 compared to September 27, 2014

Revenue

SBG revenue declined by $20.9 million from $121.3 million to $100.4 million, including negative currency translation of ($6.8 million). The variance reflects a reduction in non-profit making hardware sales of $15.7 million (at constant currency) and reduction in UK SBG performance of $0.8 million, primarily as a result of machine gaming duty increases that took place in March of 2015, reflected in the decline in Net Win per unit per day in the UK of 0.8% from 102 to 101. This was offset by increases in UK SBG hardware sales of $1.8 million. Our blended participation rate decreased from 6.9% to 6.7% due to the proportion of machines in the UK increasing from 73% to 76% of total machines.

During the period SBG average installed base grew 4% to 25,900 end points mostly through organic growth of the existing customer base. Gross Win per unit per day remained in line versus the previous period at 112 driven by strong growth in the UK market. This was offset by weaker Italy trading as gross win per unit per day decreased from 37 to 30 due to challenging competitive environment and a slow certification process leading to fewer new game launches.

Segment Operating Profit

SBG operating profit increased by $8.8 million from $16.5 million to $25.3 million primarily from a decrease in cost of hardware cost of sales of $25.8 million. In FY 2014, the Company sold SBG machines to a customer in the UK at below cost to secure a long term contract. SGA decreased by $2.0 million, of which $1.5 million was due to currency translation. The remaining $0.5 million decrease was made up of a reduction in service operation costs in the UK, offsetting increases in Italy as a result of the joint venture acquisition. Depreciation and Amortization also decreased by $1.2 million driven by a negative currency translation.

Virtual Sports

Our Virtual Sports sales include gaming software and content to virtual sports retail and digital operators.

We generate Virtual Sports revenues from our mobile and virtual customers from software sales and services. Revenue growth for our digital business is driven by the number of customers, end points and the net win attributable to our products.

Our Virtual Sports segment is comprised primarily of software licensing related to our Virtual Sports product, which is a complex software and networking package that provides fixed odds wagering in the form of an ultra-high definition computer rendering of a sporting event, such as soccer or boxing. This creates a form of simulated sports betting, in both a streaming and on-demand environment, overcoming the relative infrequency of live sporting events. Our customers pay us for the use of this software through either a fixed license fee per period or on a participation basis based on the volume of wagers and net win.

Our customers for Virtual Sports include UK LBOs, casinos, online operators and other gaming and lottery operators in the UK, continental Europe and North America. Virtual Sports can be adapted to function in a sports betting, lottery, or gaming environment and is therefore available to a wide range of customers in both public and private implementations.

Key events that impacted results for the fiscal period ended September 24, 2016

In our Virtual Sports business, we signed new virtual sports contracts with customers including Greentube, SNAI and Novomatic in Italy, Decart in Bulgaria and OPAP in Greece, as well as launching new implementations including Betfair, the Bookmakers Technology Consortium in UK and ATG in Sweden. We also launched a new soccer title, Rush Football 2, which features lifelike ultra HD graphics and over 30 betting markets, Rush Football Live and Rush Golf Live, which feature on demand and in play options, and Virtuals Connect, a fully-managed turnkey solution. We expanded our geographical reach as well, signing our first contracts for Virtual Sports in the US, with William Hill, Resorts World Digital and Golden Nugget. For our mobile RGS, we signed new contracts with a number of customers as well as adding new RGS integrations into customers including Bet365 and Betfred, as well as new game titles to our portfolio.

Key events that impacted results for the fiscal period ended September 26, 2015

Related to our Virtual Sports business, we launched a new mobile RGS product, Virgo, and contracted with four tier one operators, three of which were operational prior to the end of the period. We achieved 15% growth year-over-year in recurring revenues in our virtual sports business (excluding licences), with increases in all sales territories, and eight new revenue generating contracts.

Key events that impacted results for the fiscal period ended September 27, 2014

In the virtual sports business, ten new customers went live in Italy, generating in excess of 1.0 billion annually in customer wagers across 7,000 venues. Our contract with our largest Virtual Sports customer, SNAI was extended for five years. In addition, we launched a second sports channel with William Hill and successfully extended our contract with Coral to include a second channel and expansion to Mobile.

In our Mobile business we signed three new major contracts with Betfred, Coral and William Hill. In addition, we successfully executed an omni-channel launch of two games across three channels with William Hill.

Period ended September 24, 2016 compared to September 26, 2015

Revenue

Virtual sports revenue increased by $6.1 million from $27.2 million to $33.3 million, despite a negative currency impact of ($2.4 million). This was primarily due to annualization of customers that launched mid-way through the prior year as well as growth in the existing customer base, as a result of closer account management and additional streams across key clients. We also went live with several new accounts globally, including in the UK and Sweden.

Segment Operating Profit

Virtual Sports operating profit increased by $3.6 million from $12.0 million to $15.5 million, despite a negative currency impact of $1.1 million. Increased revenues were partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization of $2.9 million, excluding currency impact. This was the result of increased amortization of software development from new game releases (including Rush football) as well as an impairment of a social gaming asset of $1.2 million. SGA expense increased $0.2 million, including a benefit due to currency movements of $0.5 million. On an underlying basis, there was an increase in costs not adjusted in the Adjusted EBITDA table below of $2.0 million, reflecting increased labor costs in sales, product development and operations. This was in part offset by a reduction in a deferred consideration creditor relating to social gaming of $1.4 million.

Period ended September 26, 2015 compared to September 27, 2014

Revenue

The Virtual Sports segment grew revenues by $1.6 million from $25.5 million to $27.2 million despite negative currency translation of ($1.8 million). On a constant currency basis, the underlying growth during FY 2015 was $3.5 million. This was attributable to growth in the existing customer base and 10 new customer launches including key customers in Italy. Due to this growth in number of customers, the annual average revenue per customer fell slightly by 4%.

Segment Operating Profit

Virtual Sports operating profit decreased by $2.1 million from $14.1 million to $12.0 million due to an increase in SGA and depreciation and amortization. SGA expenses grew by $2.1 million which consisted of increased headcount across sales, product development and operations to support growth initiatives as well as additional expenses in relation to the launch of mobile RGS. Mobile RGS expenses included personnel, computer and hosting charges, and non-capitalized development costs. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.1 million as a result of amortization of software development from new game releases and mobile RGS development.

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to enable us

to analyze its performance and financial condition. We utilize these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis and believe that they are the most relevant measures of performance. We believe that these measures are commonly used in the industry to measure performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide expanded insight to measure revenue and cost performance, in addition to the standard GAAP-based financial measures. There are no specific rules or regulations for determining non-GAAP measures, and as such, they may not be comparable to measures used by other companies within the industry. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. You should read this discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of operations together with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related notes thereto also included within

EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA isdefined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense, and other supplemental adjustments. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a useful measure as it reflects certain operating drivers of the business, such as sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense and other operating income and expense.The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA can provide a more complete understanding of the underlying operating results and trends and an enhanced overall understanding of the Companys financial performance and prospects for the future.While Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under GAAP, management uses this financial measure to evaluate and forecast business performance.Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income or loss as it does not take into account certain requirements suchasit excludes non-recurring gains and losses which are not deemed to be a normal part of the underlying business activities. The Company’s use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other companies within the industry. Management compensates for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as only one of several measures for evaluating its business performance. In addition, capital expenditures, which impact depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax benefit (expense), are reviewed separately by management.

Net cash from operating activities

Cash flow from operating activities decreased by $6.6 million during the period. Net loss excluding the non-cash interest expense remained flat year on year. Other net cash provided by operating activities decreased $5.2 million, primarily driven by a reduction in the level of deferred revenue creditors.

Net cash from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $7.3 million during the period to $31.9 million. The decreased spending was primarily attributable to lower spend on property, plant and equipment purchases compared to the higher spend in the prior period which included expansionary expenditure on machines for roll out into the Greece market and the purchase of Italian slant top machines in association with the acquisition of the remaining 50% of Merkur Inspired Ltd.

Net cash from financing activities

The period ended September 24, 2016 included a short term draw of $11.2 million on the revolver facility with $0.1 million of cash used in the payment of finance leases. The period ended September 26, 2015 also saw $0.1 million of cash used in the payment of finance leases.

Period ended September 26, 2015 compared to September 27, 2014

Net cash from operating activities

Cash flow from operating activitiesincreased by $4.0 million during the period. Net loss excluding the non-cash interest expense decreased $14.9 million, as detailed in Results of Operations for the same period. Other net cash provided by operating activities decreased $10.9 million, primarily driven by higher production activity levels and timing of sales invoices.

Net cash from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $14.1 million during the period to $39.2 million. The decreased spending was primarily attributable to lower spend on property, plant and equipment purchases compared to the high balance the prior period (see below). The period ended September 26, 2015 included expansionary expenditure on machines for roll out into the Greece market and the purchase of Italian slant top machines in association with the acquisition of the remaining 50% of Merkur Inspired Ltd. This period also saw the final part of the UK SBG estate upgrade with new Eclipse machines. This was partially offset by cash acquired from the purchase of the former Italian joint venture, which gave a cash inflow of $1.0 million.

Net cash from financing activities

There was $0.1 million of cash used in the payment of finance leases in the period ended September 26, 2015. Cash flow from the proceeds of the issuance of long term debt contributed $34.3 million net of cash during the period ended September 27, 2014. Refer to Note 12 in the Financial Statements for further information.

Funding Needs and Sources

We have historically relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of additional debt and/or the refinancing of existing debt to fund the Companys obligations. As of September 24, 2016, we had liquidity of $1.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $4.1 million in the prior period. We had a working capital deficit of $14.1 million as of September 24, 2016 compared to a working capital deficit of $2.0 million as of September 26, 2015, with the main difference being a draw on the revolver in 2016 of $10.1 million. The level of working capital surplus or deficit operated varies with the level of machine production and capitalization. In periods where significant levels of machines are being manufactured, the levels of inventory and creditors are higher than average and there is a natural timing difference between converting the stock into sellable or capitalized plant and settling payment to the suppliers. This and movements in trading activity levels can result in significant working capital volatility. In periods of lower activity, such as in the period ended September 24, 2016 the working capital elements return to a more normalized level. Working capital is reviewed and managed to an extent to ensure that the current liabilities are covered by the level of cash held and the expected level of short term receipts.

Long term and Other Debt

Debt consists of senior bank debt and loan notes payable to the owners of Ordinary A shares (referred to as Payment in Kind (PIK) Loan Notes).

During 2014, we re-financed the existing senior bank facility of $86.7 million with a new senior bank facility of $121.2 million. During 2014, unamortized senior bank debt issuances fees of $2.0 million, were written off. The new senior bank facility has a cash interest rate on outstanding borrowings for this line of credit being the Bank of Englands banks base rate plus the base rate margin or LIBOR rate plus the banks LIBOR rate margin. The loan agreement includes a PIK interest rate on the outstanding borrowings that can be paid for or added to the outstanding debt. Capitalized debt issuance fees of $5.4 million were realized in 2014 with the issuance of new debt. Note, due to foreign currency translation, these figures are then revised at each Balance Sheet date.

The senior bank debt also included a revolving facility commitment for $28.5 million. The revolver facility has an interest rate on unutilized borrowings of 2%. The line of credit is scheduled to mature on September 30, 2017, although agreement has been reached to extend this by two years on successful acquisition. As a September 24, 2016, an amount of $11.2 million had been drawn as a revolver. No revolver had been drawn on the prior period ends. In addition to the revolver drawn, an amount of the facility had been utilized for the Duty Deferment guarantee and the Company credit card scheme. The amounts utilized at September 24, 2016, September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014 amounted to $0.4 million, $0.5million and $0.7 million respectively.

We also have 13.5% PIK loan notes payable to a syndicate of investors where interest of 13.5% is added to the loan amount and has a maturity of July 6, 2018. The total PIK loan balance at September 24, 2016, September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014 amounted to $298.2 million, $307.4 million and $289.7 million respectively. The balance at September 24, 2016 decreasing purely due to exchange rate movements.

Debt Covenants

The DMWSL 633 Ltd Group is subject to covenant testing at quarterly intervals. The covenant testing is set at the DMWSL 631 Ltd group level and comprises tests on Leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA), Interest Cover (EBITDA/Interest Costs) and Super Senior Leverage (Net Debt + Revolver/EBITDA). These are measured under UK GAAP.

All trading in the DMWSL 633 Group is included within the DMWSL 631 Ltd Group, the only difference between the two groups relating to a small level (approx. $0.3 million per annum) of overhead and director costs.

The financial results of the DMWSL 631 Ltd Group need to pass the covenant levels set at each quarter end to avoid being in a covenant breach. Besides the quarterly tests, there is also an annual requirement that no more than 3 million can be spent on non-machine additions excluding labor capitalization.

In the period ended September 27, 2014 the DMWSL 631 Ltd group refinanced its debt. As part of the refinancing, the covenant testing was reviewed and amended to the tests as defined above. Prior to the refinancing, the covenant testing was similar to current testing although with different ratios required for passes.

There have been no breaches of debt covenants in the periods ending September 24, 2016, September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Audit Committee of the

Board of Directors

of DMWSL 633 Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DMWSL 633 Limitedand its Subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 24, 2016 and September 26, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders deficitand cash flows for the periods ended September 24, 2016, September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of DMWSL 633 Limited and its Subsidiaries, as of September 24, 2016 and September 26, 2015 and the consolidatedresults of their operations and their cash flows for the periods ended September 24, 2016, September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Periods Ended September 24, 2016 and September 26, 2015

1.Nature of Operations, Managements Plans and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

DMWSL 633 Limited (the Company, the Group, we, our, and us) is a global gaming technology company, supplying Virtual Sports, Mobile and Server Based Gaming (SBG) systems to regulated lottery, betting and gaming operators worldwide. Our strategic focus is the development and sale of SBG software systems and SBG digital terminals.

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). All monetary values set forth in these consolidated financial statements are in US Dollars (USD or $) unless otherwise stated herein. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as those subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. Investments in other entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest but exert significant influence are accounted for in our consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The financial statement periods presented represent a 52 week period, which approximates a calendar year end period. The balance sheet date of each fiscal period represents the Saturday closest to the 30th of September. Each 52 week fiscal period presented within these consolidated financial statements and footnotes are herein referred to as a period.

Management Liquidity Plans

As of September 24, 2016, the Companys cash on hand was $1,486,000 and the Company had a working capital deficiency of ($14,065,000). The Company recorded net losses of $59,877,000 and $59,847,000 for the period ended September 24, 2016, and September 26, 2015, respectively. The deficiency and net losses arise primarily due to one-off costs and interest on shareholder loan notes which are no longer a liability of the Company post the transaction as detailed in Note 22. The Company historically has positive cash flows from operating activities and uses the cash flow to fund expenditures for capital additions. As indicated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Companys senior bank debt principal and revolving credit facility and any unpaid interest will mature on September 30, 2017. The Company has a contingent extension agreement with the lender to extend the maturity of the senior bank debt principal and revolving credit facility until September 30, 2019, which was extended upon completion of the transaction as detailed in Note 22. Management believes that the Companys cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, ability to control and defer capital projects and borrowings available under the Companys credit facility will be sufficient to fund the Companys net cash requirements through December 2017.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The two class method is used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Under the two class method, earnings per common share are allocated to the common shareholders based on the criteria in Note 14.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to the revenue recognition for contracts involving software and non-software elements, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserve for net realizable value, goodwill and intangible assets, useful lives of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, valuation allowances on deferred taxes, commitments and contingencies and litigation, among others. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We regularly evaluate these significant factors and make adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Periods Ended September 24, 2016 and September 26, 2015

Revenue Recognition

We derive revenue principally from the sale and rental of our Server Based Gaming (SBG) terminals and related services, including content provision and servicing, to regulated retail betting outlets, casinos and other gaming operators, and licensing of our Virtual Sports gaming software and related services to regulated virtual sports retail, mobile and online operators. We evaluate the recognition of revenue based on the criteria set forth in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605) and ASC 985-605, Software-Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:

1.Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists

2.The price to the customer is fixed or determinable

3.Delivery has occurred, title has been transferred, and any acceptance terms have been fulfilled; and

4.Collectability is probable

For our multiple-deliverable arrangements which include hardware containing software that functions together with the hardware to deliver its essential functionality and undelivered non-software services, deliverables are separated into more than one unit of accounting when: (i) the delivered element(s) have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis and (ii) delivery of the undelivered element(s) is probable and substantially in the control of the Company. When the final undelivered element(s) are non-software services and non-hardware, those deliverables are recognized on a ratable basis over the remaining term of the arrangement.

We determine the relative selling price for deliverables in the scope of ASC 605 based on the following selling price hierarchy:

4.Vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), (i.e., the price we charge when the product or service is sold separately) if available,

5.Third-party evidence (TPE) of fair value (i.e., the price charged by others for similar products and services) if VSOE is not available,

6.or our best estimate of selling price (BESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available.

Our multiple-deliverable arrangements may also contain one or more software deliverables in the scope of ASC 985-605. The revenue for these multiple-deliverable arrangements is allocated to the software deliverables and the non-software deliverables based on the relative selling prices of all of the deliverables in the arrangement using the fair value hierarchy outlined above. In circumstances where the Company cannot determine VSOE or TPE of the selling price for any of the deliverables in the arrangement, BESP is used for the purpose of allocating the arrangement consideration between software and non-software deliverable.

Revenue is allocated to the software deliverables based on the relative fair value of each element, and fair value is determined using VSOE. Where VSOE does not exist for the undelivered software element, revenue is deferred until either the undelivered element is delivered or VSOE is established, whichever occurs first. When the final undelivered software element is services, the related revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over the remaining service period. When VSOE of a delivered element has not been established, but VSOE exists for the undelivered elements, the Company uses the residual method to recognize revenue when the fair value of all undelivered elements is determinable. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement consideration is allocated to the delivered elements and is recognized as revenue.

In addition to the general policies, the following are the specific revenue recognition policies for our revenue streams.

Server Based Gaming

Revenue from SBG terminals, access to our content and SBG platform, including electronic table gaming products is recognized in accordance with the criteria set forth in ASC 605 and is usually based upon a contracted percentage of the operators net winnings from the terminals daily use. Where this is not the case, revenue is based upon a fixed daily or weekly rental fee. We recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the arrangement, or when not specified over the expected customer relationship period. Performance obligations under these arrangements may include the delivery and installation of our SBG terminals for use over a term, as well as service obligations related to hardware repairs and server based content and maintenance.

Revenue Recognition (continued)

We sometimes bill for SBG arrangements up front in order to help fund our working capital and development requirements, or at the request of a customer. Upfront fees on SBG arrangements are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement or when not specified over the expected customer relationship period. Hardware sales take the form of a transfer of ownership of our developed gaming terminals, and are recognized upon delivery as they have value to our customers on a stand-alone basis.

Virtual Sports

Revenue from licensing of our gaming software is recognized in accordance with the criteria set forth in ASC 985-605. Virtual sports retail revenue, which includes the provision of virtual sports content and services to retail betting outlets, and virtual sports online and mobile revenue, which includes the provision of virtual sports content and services to mobile and online operators, is based upon a contracted percentage of the operators net winnings or a fixed rental fee. We recognize revenue for these fees on a daily or weekly basis over the term of the arrangement, these arrangements typically include a perpetual license billed up front, granted to the customer for access to our gaming platform and content. As we do not have VSOE for the undelivered elements in virtual sports arrangements, revenue from the licensing of perpetual licenses is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement, or when not specified, over the expected customer relationship period.

Revenue from the development of bespoke games licensed on a perpetual basis to mobile and online operators is recognized on delivery and acceptance by the customer. We have no ongoing service obligations subsequent to customer acceptance of our bespoke games.

Customer Concentration

Revenues from one customer represent approximately 28.93%, 29.29%, and 29.24% of our total revenues in the periods ended September 24, 2016, September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014, respectively. Revenues from a second customer represent approximately 10.91%, 10.51%, and 20.19% of our total revenues in the periods ended September 24, 2016, September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014, respectively. There were no revenues greater than 10% derived from any other customer in any of the periods presented in these financial statements. We have no purchases from vendors greater than 10% of total purchases.

Deferred Revenue and Deferred Cost of Sales, excluding depreciation and amortization

Deferred revenue arises from the timing differences between the shipment or installation of gaming terminals and systems products and the satisfaction of all revenue recognition criteria consistent with our revenue recognition policy, as well as prepayment of contracts which are recognized ratably over a service period, such as maintenance or licensing fees. Deferred cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization consists of the direct costs associated with the manufacture of gaming equipment and systems products for which revenue has been deferred. Amounts expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred revenue in current liabilities. Amounts not expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred revenue, net of current portion.

Software Development Costs

We classify software development costs as either internal use software or external use software. We account for costs incurred to develop internal use software in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software. Consequently, any costs incurred during preliminary project stages are expensed; direct costs incurred during the application development stages are capitalized; and costs incurred during the post-implementation/operation stages are expensed. Once the software is placed in operation, we amortize the capitalized internal use software cost over its estimated economic useful life, which range from two to five years.

Software Development Costs (continued)

We purchase, license and incur costs to develop external use software to be used in the products we sell or provide to customers. Such costs are capitalized under ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to Be Sold Leased or Marketed. Costs incurred in creating software are expensed when incurred as Selling, General and Administrative Expenses until technological feasibility has been established, after which costs are capitalized up to the date the software is available for general release to customers. We capitalize the payments made for software that we purchase or license for use in our products that has previously met the technological feasibility criteria prior to our purchase or license. Annual amortization of capitalized external use software development costs is recorded over the estimated economic life, which is two to five years.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development related primarily to software product development costs is expensed until technological feasibility has been established. Research and development costs amounting to $3,415,000, $3,849,000 and $2,797,000 were expensed during the periods to September 24, 2016, September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014, respectively. Employee related costs associated with related product development are included in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

Cash

We deposit cash with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. Changes in circumstances relating to the collectability of accounts receivable may result in the need to increase or decrease our allowance for doubtful accounts in the future. We determine the allowance based on historical experience, current market trends, and our customers’ financial condition. We continually review our allowance for doubtful accounts. Past due balances and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Under certain contracts, the timing of our invoices does not coincide with revenue recognized under the contract. We have unbilled accounts receivable which represent revenue recorded in excess of amounts invoiced under the contract and generally become billable at contractually specified dates. These amounts consist primarily of revenue from our share of net winnings earned on a daily basis where the billing period does not fall on the last day of the period. We had $10,446,000, $12,634,000 and $7,499,000, of unbilled accounts receivable as of September 24, 2016, September 26, 2015, and September 27, 2014, respectively.

Our standard credit terms are net 30 to 60days. From time to time, we allow for certain digital customers to pay on an enhanced revenue share basis for the software license whereby the customer pays an incremental revenue share percentage over a specific period of time. We consider these types of arrangements to be extended payment terms as the full consideration for the arrangement may not be received until several years after the date of the sale depending on the net winnings from the game or application. We evaluate the payment terms of the arrangement at the outset in order to determine if collectability is reasonably assured and defer revenue on enhanced revenue shares in cases where this is not met. For additional information on notes receivables, see Note 3 (Accounts Receivable, Notes Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Bad Debt).

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of component parts and related parts used in gaming terminals. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the weighted average cost method. We determine the lower of cost or market value of our inventory based on estimates of potentially excess and obsolete inventories after considering historical and forecasted demand and average selling prices. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

We have established a reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory. Demand for gaming terminals and parts inventory is also subject to technological obsolescence.

Equity Method Investments

Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which we exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not we exercise significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, representation on the investee companys board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the investee company. Under the equity method of accounting, an investee companys accounts are not reflected within our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss; however, our share of the earnings or losses of the investee company is reflected in other income (loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. As discussed in Note 17, on December 23, 2014, the Company purchased the remaining 50% shares in its equity investment.

When our carrying value in an equity method investee company is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in our consolidated financial statements unless we have guaranteed obligations of the investee company or we have committed additional funding. In this instance, when the investee company subsequently reports income, we will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, and when placed into service, depreciated to their residual values using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Short-term leasehold property life of the lease
Server based gaming terminals 4 6 years
Motor Vehicles 3 5 years
Plant and machinery and fixtures and fittings 4 8 years
Computer equipment 3 5 years

Our policy is to periodically review the estimated useful lives of our fixed assets. We also assess the recoverability of long-lived assets (or asset groups) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such an asset (or asset groups) may not be recoverable.

Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed and the related accumulated depreciation are written off and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets

Our primary acquired intangible assets relate to goodwill, trademarks and customer relationships. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Trademarks and customer relationships were originally recorded at their fair values in connection with business combinations.

Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight line basis over three to ten years to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment. Factors considered when assigning useful lives include legal, regulatory and contractual provisions, product obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors.

Impairment of Goodwill and Long Lived Assets

We test for goodwill impairment at least annually on the last day of our fiscal period as of September 24, 2016 and September 26, 2015, and whenever other facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For goodwill impairment evaluations, we first make a qualitative assessment to determine if goodwill is likely to be impaired. If it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, we then compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its respective carrying amount. Goodwill is carried, and therefore tested, at the reporting unit level. We have two segments, Server Based Gaming and Virtual Sports, as detailed in Note 2. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the amount of the impairment loss, if any, will be measured by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount and would be charged to operations as an impairment loss. A quantitative test was carried out as of September 24, 2016 and September 26, 2015 and no impairment was required at either date. For additional information, see Note 6 (Intangibles, net and goodwill).

We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever events arise or circumstances change that indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets (or asset groups) to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset (or asset group) to the expected net future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by that asset (or asset group) or, for identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives, by determining whether the amortization of the intangible asset balance over its remaining life can be recovered through expected net future undiscounted cash flows. The amount of impairment of other long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair market value of the asset.

Derivative Financial Instruments

From time to time we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk associated with cash payments required to be made in non-functional currencies or to mitigate the risk associated with cash to be received in non-functional currencies. We record the derivative financial instruments on the balance sheets at their respective fair market values. We do not apply hedge accounting and make related effectiveness assessments. As a result, changes in fair value in the associated derivative are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. See Note 13 (Fair Value Measurements) for additional information.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs for products sales and hardware related to subscription services are included in cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization for all periods presented.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Our provision for income taxes is primarily based on current period income (loss), changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in estimates with regard to uncertain tax positions. We estimate current tax expense and assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate for the period in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Our total deferred tax assets are principally comprised of depreciation and net operating loss carry forwards.

Significant management judgment is required to assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. In assessing the realizability of these deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Management makes this assessment on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis considering the historical trend of taxable losses, projected future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. As of September 24, 2016, September 26, 2015, and September 27, 2014, we had a valuation allowance of $33,552,000, $43,475,000 and $42,031,000 respectively, against net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of realization of these deferred tax assets.

We evaluate income tax uncertainties, assess the probability of the ultimate settlement with the applicable taxing authority and records an amount based on that assessment. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with uncertain tax positions are included in income tax expense.

Value Added Tax

The Company is subject to Value Added Tax (VAT) in some locations. The amount of VAT liability is determined by applying the applicable tax rate to the invoiced amount of goods and services sold less VAT paid on purchases made with the relevant supporting invoices. VAT is collected from customers by the Company on behalf of the tax authorities and is therefore not charged to the consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation

For most of our operations GBP is our functional currency. We also have significant operations where the local currency is the functional currency, including our operations in mainland Europe and South America. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at period-end rates of exchange and results of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the period. Gains or losses resulting from translating the foreign currency financial statements are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ deficit. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in other (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Leases

We lease our office facilities under operating leases. We account for certain operating leases that contain rent escalation provisions, rent abatements and /or lease incentives by recognizing rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The difference between the rent paid and the straight-line rent is recorded as a deferred liability.

Assets acquired under capital leases are amortized over a lease term which coincides with the estimated useful life of the leased assets. For the purpose of recognizing the above mentioned lease incentives on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, we use the date of initial possession to begin amortization. Lease renewal periods are considered in the determination of the lease term.

Comprehensive Loss

We include and separately classify in comprehensive loss unrealized gains and losses from our foreign currency translation adjustments, gains or losses associated with pension or other post-retirement benefits, prior service costs or credits associated with pension or other post-retirement benefits and transition assets or obligations associated with pension or other post- retirement benefits. See Note 18 (Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income).

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers which introduces a new revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. This ASU also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The new accounting standard is expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its adoption on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, CompensationStock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (ASU 2014-12), requiring a performance target which affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASU 2014-12 was effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted ASU 2014-12, with no material effect.

On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. For public business entities, the standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company has adopted this guidance and has presented debt issuance costs net against the associated debt liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets presented.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, IntangiblesGoodwill and OtherInternal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customers Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (ASU 2015-05), which provides guidance to customers about how to account for cloud computing arrangements when such arrangements include software licenses. ASU 2015-11 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The standard may be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The Company has adopted ASU 2015-05, with no material effect.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by reporting lease assets and lease liabilities, both finance (capital) and operating leases, on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. For public companies, the updated guidance is effective for the financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those fiscal years). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its adoption on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718), to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its adoption on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial StatementsGoing Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). This standard is intended to define managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organizations ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Under U.S. GAAP, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organization will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is critical to financial reporting because it establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. Currently, US GAAP lacks guidance about managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organizations ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. This ASU provides guidance to an organizations management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position and results of operations.

In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (ASU 2016-10). ASU 2016-10 clarifies the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. ASU 2016-10 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-04, CompensationRetirement Benefits (Topic 715): Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employers Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets (ASU 2015-04). ASU 2015-04 provides an entity with a fiscal year-end that does not coincide with a month-end a practical expedient that allows the entity to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the entitys fiscal year-end and apply that practical expedient consistently from year to year. If an entity has a significant event in an interim period that requires the remeasurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations such as a partial settlement, ASU 2015-04 also provides a practical expedient that permits the entity to remeasure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the date of the significant event and adjust for any effects of the significant event not captured in the month-end measurement. If an entity applies the practical expedient and a contribution is made between the month-end date used for measurement and the entitys fiscal year-end, the entity should disclose the amount of the contribution to allow reconciliation of the fair value of plan assets in the fair value hierarchy to the ending balance of the fair value of plan assets. ASU 2015-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. This standard will not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In May 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (ASU 2016-12). The core principal of ASU 2016-12 is the recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The provisions of this update are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have in its financial statements.

2.Segmental Reporting

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate and discrete financial information is available and is used by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Companys chief decision-maker is the Chief Executive Officer.

The Companys chief decision-maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenue and operating profit by operating unit. This information is used for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.

The Company operates its business along two operating segments, which are segregated based on the basis of revenue stream: Service Based Gaming and Virtual Sports. The Company believes this method of segment reporting reflects both the way its business segments are managed and the way the performance of each segment is evaluated.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The following tables present revenue, cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, operating profit/(loss) from continuing operations, total assets and total capital expenditures for the periods ended September 24, 2016, September 26, 2015, and September 27, 2014, respectively, by business segment. Certain unallocated corporate function costs have not been allocated to the Companys reportable operating segments because these costs are not allocable and to do so would not be practical. Corporate function costs consist primarily of selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, cash, prepaid expenses and property and equipment and software development costs relating to corporate/shared functions.

Some of our operating leases contain provisions for future rent increases, rent-free periods or periods in which rent payments are reduced. The total amount of rental payments due over the lease term is being charged to rent expense on the straight-line method over the term of the lease.

Debt consists of senior bank debt and loan notes payable to the owners of Ordinary A shares (referred to as Payment in Kind (PIK) Loan Notes). Security over the debt consists of a fixed and floating charge over all assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.

The senior bank facility has a cash interest rate on outstanding borrowings for this line of credit being the Bank of Englands banks base rate plus the base rate margin or LIBOR rate plus the banks LIBOR rate margin. The loan agreement includes a PIK interest rate on the outstanding borrowings that can be paid for or added to the outstanding debt. Note, due to foreign currency translation, these figures are then revised at each Balance Sheet date. The new senior bank debt is scheduled to mature on September 30, 2017.

The senior bank debt also included a revolving facility commitment for $28.5 million. The revolver facility has an interest rate on utilized amounts of 5% plus LIBOR and on unutilized borrowings of 2%. The line of credit was scheduled to mature on September 30, 2017, however, as a result of the acquisition discussed in Note 22, agreement has been reached to extend this by two years. $10.1 million of this facility had been drawn at September 24, 2016 (none of the facility had been drawn at September 26, 2015), and an amount of the facility had been utilized in each year for the Duty Deferment guarantee and the company credit card scheme amounting to $0.4 million and $0.5 million at September 24, 2016 and September 26, 2015, respectively.

The Company also has 13.5% PIK loan notes payable to a syndicate of investors including parent entities to the Group. PIK loan notes have a final repayment date of July 6, 2018 and receive interest at a rate of 13.5%. This interest is accrued and compounded annually onto the loan notes on September 30 each year. Loan notes may be transferred between parties but cannot be converted into other options or redeemed before the final repayment date. At the repayment date, all PIK loan note liabilities are settled by GBP cheque payment. PIK loan notes are repayable in full upon either a sale or a listing of the Group. PIK loan notes are held in proportion to the holders of Ordinary A shares. PIK loan balance to parent company at September 24, 2016 and September 26, 2015, amounted to $253.6 million and $261.5 million, respectively.

13.Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We estimate the fair value of its assets and liabilities utilizing an established three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows:

Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions.

Level 3:Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that are unable to be corroborated with observable market data.

The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities is determined by reference to market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. We believe the fair value of our financial instruments, which are principally cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximates their recorded values.

For each period, derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are included in the financial statements as per the table below. All amounts are categorized as Level 2.

Foreign currency forward contracts

Throughout the period we enter into contracts to buy and sell foreign currency. These contracts are recorded on the balance sheets at each period end at fair value. These contracts are typically short term in nature with maturities of six months to a year. We entered into forward contracts to sell Euros and to purchase USD and the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded within interest income or expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. For the periods ended September 24, 2016, September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014, we realized interest income or expense of $291,000, ($488,000), and $364,000 respectively from changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument.
