Nature
of Operations, Management’s Plans and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Company
Description and Nature of Operations
We
are a global gaming technology company, supplying content, platform and other products and services to online and land-based regulated
lottery, betting and gaming operators worldwide through a broad range of distribution channels, predominantly on a business-to-business
basis. We provide end-to-end digital gaming solutions (i) on our own proprietary and secure network, which accommodates a wide range
of devices, including land-based gaming machine terminals, mobile devices and online computer applications and (ii) through third party
networks. Our content and other products can be found through the consumer-facing portals of our interactive customers and, through our
land-based customers, in licensed betting offices, adult gaming centers, pubs, bingo halls, airports, motorway service areas and leisure
parks.
Management
Liquidity Plans
As
of September 30, 2021, the Company’s cash on hand was $ 37.1 million, and the Company had working capital of $ 14.7 million. The
Company recorded net income of $ 25.0 million and $ 0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net
income includes non-cash changes in fair value of warrant liability of $ 17.3 million income and $ 0.2 million income for the three months
ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and non-cash stock-based compensation of $ 3.8 million and $ 1.1 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recorded net losses of $ 35.5 million and $ 35.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net losses include non-cash debt fees expensed as part of the repayment of Prior
Financing (see Note 4) of $ 14.4 million and $ 0.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, non-cash
changes in fair value of warrant liability of $ 3.8 million income and $ 6.1 million income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021
and 2020, respectively, excess depreciation and amortization over capital expenditure of $ 18.0 million and $ 17.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and non-cash stock-based compensation of $ 8.6 million and $ 3.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Historically, the Company has generally had positive cash flows from operating
activities and has relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of debt and/or the refinancing of
existing debt to fund its obligations. Cash flows provided by operations amounted to $ 7.0 million and $ 31.5 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively with the change year on year due to higher debt interest payments made in the nine months
ended September 30, 2021, as there was an agreement in place to defer and capitalize such payments in the nine months ended September
30, 2020. Working capital of $ 14.7 million includes a non-cash settled item of $ 8.5 million of deferred income, and an item not expected
to be cash settled of $ 9.0 million comprising a warrant liability. Management currently believes that, absent any unanticipated COVID-19
impact (see below), the Company’s cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, ability to control
and defer capital projects and amounts available from the Company’s external borrowings will be sufficient to fund the Company’s
net cash requirements through November 2022.
Governments
in all of the major jurisdictions in which our land-based customers operate have now reopened land-based venues. As of April 12, 2021,
in the United Kingdom, licensed betting offices in England and Wales have reopened with certain restrictions including operating two
of four gaming machines per venue, limited dwell time of 15 minutes, as well as a maximum of two visits per day per patron and an 8:00pm
curfew. These restrictions remained in place until May 17, 2021. Gaming machines in pubs, holiday parks, motorway services, Scottish
betting offices and adult gaming centers across the United Kingdom reopened on May 17, 2021, with social distancing restrictions in place.
All social distancing restrictions were removed in England as of July 19, 2021. As of August 9, 2021, no restrictions remain in the United
Kingdom. There remains an element of social distancing in venues in Greece and in Italy, and there are restrictions in place that state
only fully vaccinated people can enter our venues which came into place in Italy on August 20, 2021, and in Greece on September 13, 2021.
It remains uncertain as to whether and when further restrictions or closures could happen in each jurisdiction and how long they may
last. We continue to protect our existing available liquidity by pro-actively managing capital expenditures and working capital as well
as identifying both immediate and longer-term opportunities for cost savings.

Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information
or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information
and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s
opinion, however, that the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting
of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows
for the periods presented.
The
accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The financial information as of December 31, 2020
is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the SEC on March 29, 2021 (the “Original 10-K”), as amended and filed on Form 10-K/A with the SEC on May 10, 2021 (the “10-K/A”).
The interim results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.
Restatement
of Previously Reported Information
On
May 7, 2021, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Company’s
management and the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors concluded that it was appropriate to restate the Company’s
previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, and for the years ended December 31, 2020,
and December 31, 2019, which were included in the Original 10-K.
The
restatement related to the SEC’s public statement released on April 12, 2021, informing market participants that warrants issued
by special purpose acquisition companies may require classification as a liability of the entity measured at fair value, with changes
in fair value each period reported in earnings.
The
effect of the restatement on previously reported information for the three months ended September 30, 2020 is as follows:

Recharacterization
of Previously Reported Information
In
prior periods, up to and including the interim period nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company operated its business along three
operating segments: Server Based Gaming, Virtual Sports (which included Interactive) and Acquired Businesses (which consisted of businesses
acquired from Novomatic UK Ltd., a division of Novomatic Group, an international supplier of gaming equipment and solutions (the “NTG
Acquisition”)). During the period subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company completed the process of changing its internal
structure, which had been ongoing since the NTG Acquisition, and as a result changed the composition of its operating segments.
The Company now operates its business along four operating segments, which are segregated on the basis of revenue stream: Gaming, Virtual
Sports, Interactive and Leisure. The Company believes this method of segment reporting reflects both the way its business segments are
now managed and the way the performance of each segment is now evaluated.
As
part of the recharacterization exercise, certain items of Revenue, Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses have
been recharacterized to ensure consistency with similar items across the Group. The revenue recharacterizations are to ensure spares
and similar items are reflected with other items of hardware (Product Sales).
The
resulting impact on previously reported information for the three months ended September 30, 2020 is as follows: Service Revenue, previously
reported $ 56.4 million, now $ 55.6 million; Product Sales Revenue, previously reported $ 3.7 million, now $ 4.5 million; Cost of Service,
previously reported $ 11.2 million, now $ 10.8 million; Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (excluding Stock-based compensation),
previously reported $ 21.9 million, now $ 21.5 million.
8
The
resulting impact on previously reported information for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is as follows: Service Revenue, previously
reported $ 114.8 million, now $ 113.7 million; Product Sales Revenue, previously reported $ 13.2 million, now $ 14.3 million; Cost of Service,
previously reported $ 20.9 million, now $ 21.8 million; Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (excluding Stock-based compensation),
previously reported $ 61.6 million, now $ 60.7 million.
The
recharacterization has no impact on the previously reported Net Operating Loss, Net Loss or Net Comprehensive Loss for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Long
Term and Other Debt
Senior
Secured Notes
On
May 20, 2021, Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued £ 235.0 million ($ 316.9 million,
as translated at September 30, 2021) aggregate principal amount of its 7.875 % senior secured notes due 2026 (the “Senior Secured
Notes”). The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.875 % per annum and mature on June 1, 2026 . Interest is payable on
the Senior Secured Notes on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2021
The
Senior Secured Notes and related guarantees were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”), among Inspired Entertainment
(Financing) PLC, as issuer, the Company and certain English and U.S. subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors (collectively and together
with the Company, the “Guarantors”), GLAS Trustees Limited, as trustee, GLAS Trust Corporation Limited, as security agent
and GLAS Trust Company LLC as paying agent, transfer agent and registrar. The terms of the Senior Secured Notes and related guarantees
are governed by the Indenture.
The
Company used proceeds from the offering of the Senior Secured Notes to repay its £ 145.8 million ($ 196.6 million) senior secured
term loan facility and € 93.1 million ($ 107.9 million) senior secured term loan facility and accrued interest thereon (the “Prior
Financing”), to close-out derivative contracts entered into in connection with the Prior Financing and to pay fees, commissions
and expenses incurred in connection with the refinancing.
9
The
Senior Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured first-priority basis by the Guarantors on a joint and
several basis. The Senior Secured Notes and related guarantees are secured, subject to certain permitted collateral liens, on a first-priority
basis by substantially all assets of the Guarantors and all claims of the Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC under an intercompany
loan to Gaming Acquisitions Limited, a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“GAL”), of the proceeds of the offering of the Senior Secured Notes.
The
Indenture contains incurrence covenants that limit the ability of the Company and the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to, among
other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional debt and issue certain preferred stock of restricted subsidiaries; (ii) create or incur
certain liens; (iii) make restricted payments, including dividends or distributions to the Company’s stockholders or repurchase
the Company’s stock; (iv) prepay or redeem subordinated debt; (v) make certain investments, including participating joint ventures;
(vi) create encumbrances or restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions by restricted subsidiaries; (vii) sell assets,
or consolidate or merge with or into other companies; (viii) sell or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets
or those of the Company’s subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (ix) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and (x) create
unrestricted subsidiaries. Certain of these covenants will be suspended if and for so long as the Senior Secured Notes have investment
grade ratings from any two of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Investors Ratings Services and Fitch
Ratings, Inc. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications as set forth in the Indenture.
Inspired
Entertainment (Financing) PLC may redeem the Senior Secured Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to June
1, 2023, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a “make-whole” premium as set forth in
the Indenture and form of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC may also redeem the Senior Secured Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time
on or after June 1, 2023, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture and form of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to June 1, 2023, Inspired Entertainment
(Financing) PLC may redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes with the net cash proceeds
of one or more equity offerings, as described in the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 107.875% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time prior to June 1, 2023, Inspired Entertainment
(Financing) PLC may redeem up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes within each 12-month period at a redemption
price equal to 103.000% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to,
but excluding, the redemption date.
Revolving
Credit Facility
In
connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes on May 20, 2021, the Company and certain of our direct and indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries, entered into a Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “RCF Agreement”) with Global Loan Agency
Services Limited, as agent, Barclays Bank plc (“Barclays”) and Macquarie Corporate Holdings Pty Limited (UK Branch) (“Macquarie
UK” and together with Barclays, the “Arrangers”) as arrangers and each lender party thereto (the “Lenders”),
pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to provide, subject to certain conditions, a secured revolving facility loan in an original principal
amount of £ 20 million ($ 27.0 million) under which certain of our subsidiaries are able to draw funds (the “RCF Loan”).
The RCF Loans will terminate on November 20, 2025 .
The
funding of the RCF Loan is subject to customary conditions set forth in the RCF Agreement. The undrawn commitment of each Lender under
the RCF Loan will automatically terminate, unless previously terminated by the Company, on October 20, 2025.
The
RCF Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) SONIA for borrowings in sterling, (ii) LIBOR (or, on and after December
31, 2021, SOFR) for borrowings in dollars, or (iii) EURIBOR for borrowings in Euro, as applicable, plus, in each case, a margin (based
on the Company’s consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio) ranging from 4.25 % to 4.75 % per annum. With respect to the RCF
Loan, a commitment fee of 30 % of the then applicable margin is payable at any time on any unutilized portion of the RCF Loan.
The
RCF Agreement contains various covenants (which include restrictions regarding the incurrence of liens, the incurrence of indebtedness
by the Company’s subsidiaries and fundamental changes, subject in each case to certain exceptions), representations, warranties,
limitations and events of default (which include non-payment, breach of obligations under the financing documents, cross-default, insolvency
and litigation) customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers and subject to customary carve-outs and grace periods.
Following the occurrence of an event of default which has not been waived or remedied, the Lenders who represent more than 66.67 % of
total commitments under the RCF may, subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement (which governs the relationship between the Lenders
and the holders of the Senior Secured Notes), instruct the agent to (i) accelerate the RCF Loans, (ii) instruct the security agent to
enforce the transaction security and/or (iii) exercise any other remedies available to the Lenders.
The
RCF Agreement requires that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 6.25x on the test date for
the relevant period ending June 30, 2021, stepping down to 6.0x on March 31, 2022, 5.75x on March 31, 2023 and 5.50x from March 31, 2024
and thereafter (the “RCF Financial Covenant”). The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior
secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest
expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested
quarterly on a rolling basis, subject to the Initial Facility (as defined in the RCF Agreement) being drawn on the relevant test date.
The RCF Agreement does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants.
The
outstanding principal amount of each advance under the RCF Loans is payable on the last day of the interest period relating to such advance,
unless such advance is rolled over on a cashless basis in accordance with customary rollover provisions contained in the RCF Agreement,
with a final repayment on November 20, 2025.
Termination
of Prior Financing
The
Company’s previous debt consisted of two tranches of senior secured term loans in a principal amount of £ 145.8 million ($ 196.6
million) with a cash interest rate of 8.25 % plus 3-month LIBOR and € 93.1 million ($ 107.9 million) with a cash interest rate of 7.75 %
plus 3-month EURIBOR, respectively and a secured revolving facility loan in a principal amount of £ 20.0 million ($ 27.0 million)
with a cash interest rate on any utilization of 6.50 % plus 3-month LIBOR.
In
connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes and the entry into the RCF Agreement, on May 20, 2021, the Prior Financing was
repaid in full and the senior facilities agreement (dated September 27, 2019, as amended and restated on June 25, 2020) relating to the
Prior Financing was terminated. No prepayment premium applied to the repayment (although customary break cost provisions applied). Debt
fees of $ 14.4 million were expensed to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Loss within Interest Expense as part
of the repayment. In addition, on May 19, 2021, we terminated the interest rate swaps relating to the Prior Financing and applicable
termination fees were settled on May 20, 2021 (see Note 5).

5. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The
Company was party to two interest rate swaps with UBS AG designed to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in interest rates
by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows on a portion of the previous floating rate debt facilities. The swaps fixed the
variable interest rate of the debt facilities and provided protection over potential interest rate increases by providing a fixed rate
of interest payment in return. The interest rate swaps were for £ 95 million ($ 128.1 million) at a fixed rate of 0.9255 % based on
the 6-month LIBOR rate and for € 60 million ($ 69.5 million) at a fixed rate of 0.102 % based on the 6-month EURIBOR rate.
In
connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes and the entry into the RCF Agreement, on May 19, 2021, the Company terminated
its two interest rate swaps. The termination fees were settled on May 20, 2021, for £ 1.3 million ($ 1.9 million) and € 0.1 million
($ 0.2 million), respectively.
Hedges
of Multiple Risks
The
Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives were to add stability to interest and to manage its exposure to interest
rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily used interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management
strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange
for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
For
derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged
transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income related to derivatives will be reclassified
to interest expense over the life of the original instruments. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional
$ 0.7 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.
As
of September 30, 2021, the company did not have any derivatives. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had the following outstanding interest
rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

6. 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 our 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 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.

The
fair value of our long-term senior debt as of September 30, 2021, was $ 323.2 million, based upon quoted prices in the marketplace, which
are considered Level 2 inputs.
Level
3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value
of the derivative liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s
principal financial officer, who reports to the principal executive officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development
and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of
the Company’s Principal Financial Officer and approved by the Principal Executive Officer.
At
September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.
7. Stock-Based Compensation
The
Company’s stock-based compensation plans authorize awards of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock options and other
equity-related awards. The Company’s 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s Board
of Directors on April 12, 2021 and approved by our stockholders on May 11, 2021. The 2021 Plan succeeds the Company’s 2018 Omnibus
Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) such that shares subject to the 2018 Plan’s unused reserve (e.g., as a result of termination
or forfeiture of awards) are instead rolled over to the 2021 Plan. The Company has two other predecessor plans, the 2016 Long-Term Incentive
Plan and the Second Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”), whose available balances were terminated
in connection with approval of the 2018 Plan. Although outstanding awards under the Prior Plans remain governed by the terms of the Prior
Plans, no new awards may be granted or become available for grant under the Prior Plans.
14
As
of September 30, 2021, there were (i) 1,628,467 shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2021 Plan, including 514,220 shares subject
to performance-based target awards, 232,500 shares subject to market-price vesting conditions and 165,000 shares subject to awards as
to which the applicable vesting conditions have been met which remain subject to deferred settlement ; (ii) 1,464,440 shares subject to
outstanding awards under the 2018 Plan, including 75,000 shares subject to performance-based target awards, 254,121 shares subject to
awards that were previously subject to performance criteria that were determined to have been met for the applicable performance year
which awards continue to remain subject to a time-based vesting schedule and 87,613 shares subject to awards as to which the applicable
vesting conditions have been met which remain subject to deferred settlement; and (iii) 2,411,319 shares subject to outstanding awards
under the Prior Plans, including 1,092,633 shares subject to market-price vesting conditions that have a satisfaction deadline of December
23, 2021 and 1,318,686 shares subject to awards as to which the applicable vesting conditions have been met which remain subject to deferred
settlement. As of September 30, 2021, there were 1,521,434 shares available for new awards under the 2021 Plan (which includes shares
rolled over from the 2018 Plan) and no shares available for new awards under the Prior Plans. All awards consist of RSUs and Restricted
Stock.
The
Company also has an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) that authorizes the issuance of up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares
of common stock pursuant to purchases thereunder by employees. The ESPP, which was approved by stockholders in July 2017, is administered
by the Compensation Committee which has discretion to designate the length of offering periods and other terms subject to the requirements
of the ESPP. As of September 30, 2021, a total of 467,751 shares remain available for purchase under the ESPP.

The
Company issued a total of 324,122 shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 160,390 in connection with the net settlement
of RSUs that vested on June 30, 2021 and 163,732 in connection with the net settlement of RSUs that vested on December 31, 2020.
Stock-based
compensation is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
For performance awards that are contingent upon the Company achieving certain pre-determined financial performance targets, compensation
expense is calculated based on the number of shares expected to vest after assessing the probability that the performance criteria will
be met. Determining the probability of achieving a performance target requires estimates and judgment. For market-based awards that are
contingent upon the Company’s stock achieving certain pre-determined price targets, compensation expense is calculated based upon
the determination of the fair value of the awards as derived through multiple running of the Monte Carlo valuation model, with the fair
value recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
The
Company recognized stock-based compensation expense amounting to $ 3.8 million and $ 1.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
2021 and 2020, respectively, and $ 8.6 million and $ 3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Total
unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock awards and unvested RSUs at September 30, 2021 amounts to $ 14.6 million and
is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years .

Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic
income (loss) 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, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities.
Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period, including stock options, restricted
stock, RSUs and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted
method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential of shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The
computation of diluted EPS excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion
would be anti-dilutive:

11. Income Taxes
The
effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was 1.1 % and 0.0 %, respectively, resulting in
a $ 0.3 million and a $ 0.0 million income tax expense, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021 and 2020 was 0.3 % and 0.7 %, respectively, resulting in a $ 0.1 million income tax benefit and a $ 0.3
million income tax expense, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate has fluctuated primarily as a result of the income
mix between jurisdictions.
The
income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 differs from the amount that would be expected after
applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate primarily due to pre-tax losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, and foreign
earnings being taxed at rates different than the US statutory rate.
12. Related Parties

We
incurred certain offering expenses in connection with an underwritten public offering of shares held by a significant stockholder, the
Landgame Trust, which closed on June 1, 2021, as to which our expenses were reimbursed by the stockholder. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2021, the aggregate amount invoiced for reimbursement was $ 0.2 million. The selling stockholder sold an aggregate of 6,217,628
shares in the offering (including 810,995 shares subject to an over-allotment option that was exercised in full) at an offering price
of $ 9.25 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions of $ 0.4625 per share. One of the participating underwriters in the offering
was Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., an affiliate of MIHI LLC (see paragraph above), pursuant to which it purchased 870,468 of the shares
including 113,539 shares subject to the over-allotment option.

Legal
Matters
From
time to time, the Company may become involved in lawsuits and legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the Company
believes that, currently, it has no such matters that are material, there can be no assurance that existing or new matters arising in
the ordinary course of business will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results
of operations.

15. Pension Plan
We
operate a defined contribution plan in the US, and both defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes in the UK. The defined
contribution scheme assets are held separately from those of the Company in independently administered funds.
Defined
Benefit Pension Scheme
The
defined benefit scheme has been closed to new entrants since April 1, 1999 and closed to future accruals for services rendered to the
Company for the entire financial statement periods presented. On March 15, 2019, it was agreed that no further deficit reduction contributions
would be made to the scheme, except in the event that the scheme funding level does not progress as expected, in which case contingent
contributions would be made subject to an agreed maximum amount.
In
January 2021, the funding level of the scheme was tested against the expected position at December 31, 2020 and it was determined that
further contingent contributions of $ 1.2 million and expense contributions of $ 0.4 million will be payable during the year ending December
31, 2021.
The
funding level of the scheme will next be tested against the expected position at December 31, 2021 to determine whether further contingent
contributions are payable during the year ending December 31, 2022.
The
total amount of employer contributions paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 amounted to $ 1.1 million relating to the
nine months ended September 30, 2021, and $ 0.4 million of contributions relating to the year ending December 31, 2020 agreed with the
trustees of the scheme to be deferred into the year ending December 31, 2021.

16. Segment Reporting and Geographic Information
The
Company operates its business along four operating segments, which are segregated on the basis of revenue stream: Gaming, Virtual Sports,
Interactive and Leisure. 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.
In
prior periods, up to and including the interim period nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company operated its business
along three operating segments: Server Based Gaming, Virtual Sports (which included Interactive) and Acquired Businesses (which consisted
of the businesses acquired from the NTG Acquisition). During the period subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company completed the process
of changing its internal structure, which had been ongoing since the NTG Acquisition, and as a result changed the composition
of its operating segments.
The
following tables present revenue, cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, selling, general and administrative expenses,
depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and acquisition related transaction expenses, operating profit/(loss),
total assets and total capital expenditures for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, by business
segment. Certain unallocated corporate function costs have not been allocated to the Company’s 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, right of use assets, cash, prepaid expenses and property
and equipment and software development costs relating to corporate/shared functions. All acquisition and integration related transaction
expenses are allocated as corporate function costs. Amounts previously disclosed for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020
have been recharacterized in line with the current operating segments and categories. The tables also reflect the recharacterization
of previously reported information as described in Note 1.
