9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within
the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls
and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to management, including our Executive Chairman and our Chief Financial Officer (together, the “Certifying
Officers”), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures at December 31,
2022 were not effective, due to the material weaknesses described below.
In light of these material weaknesses, we performed additional analyses
as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly in all material
respects our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting as Part of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002 (“SOX”)
Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Insofar as the Company is subject to Section 404(b) of SOX, this Annual
Report on Form 10-K includes an opinion by our external auditors on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
at December 31, 2022 in addition to management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting under
the requirements of Section 404(a) of SOX. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in
accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our
Company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance
that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP,
and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
59
(3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of any unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our consolidated financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or
compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has assessed the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 based on the criteria
set forth in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on that assessment, our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2022 was not effective, based upon
the material weaknesses discussed below.
A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
Remediation
of Previously Reported Material Weakness
As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual
Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial
reporting relating to an ineffective risk assessment and response process (the “Risk Assessment and Response Material Weakness”).
Namely, the Company had not established an effective control environment due to the ineffective design and implementation of certain process
controls, including management review controls. These controls pertain to accounting estimates, account reconciliations, and approval
processes of some of the Company’s significant accounts. These deficiencies represented material weaknesses in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting as there was a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement with respect to certain of
the Company’s significant accounts and disclosures would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Factors contributing to
the Risk Assessment and Response Material Weakness included the fact that during 2021, the Company centralized all its finance functions
into one location and implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system which went live much later in the year
than initially planned, as it had to be put on hold due to the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the Company. As a result, there
was insufficient time prior to year-end to implement or operate certain controls which were newly designed or re-designed as a result
of the impact of the ERP implementation. The Company had also been without its Chief Financial Officer for a period of time due to illness,
which required a redistribution of roles and responsibilities, including those related to controls.
We have remediated this previously
reported Risk Assessment and Response Material Weakness by (1) establishing an executive steering committee to monitor the remediation
of the underlying control deficiencies, (2) hiring an additional SOX specialist in June 2022 to support the Chief Financial Officer and
Director of Finance, (3) increasing the use our outsourced SOX service provider to assist in all aspects of our SOX program, (4) providing
one-on-one training to control owners who are part of our broader accounting and operations teams on control execution and related documentation
and evidence, (5) re-mapping internal control over financial reporting to risks and financial statement assertions, (6) remediating previously
identified control gaps or deficient controls by implementing newly designed controls and/or enhancing the operation and/or underlying
evidence of existing controls, (7) expanding business process narratives with enhanced details of process flows and controls, and (8)
enhancing the documentation of the execution of management review controls. The Company completed its testing of the effectiveness of
the remediated, newly designed, and re-designed controls and, other than those relating to the material weaknesses identified below, noted
no material control deficiencies. As a result, management concluded that the Risk Assessment and Response Material Weakness was remediated
as of December 31, 2022.
60
Identified
Material Weaknesses and Remediation
Segregation
of Duties
Management
has identified internal control deficiencies due to IT program and data changes affecting the Company’s financial IT applications
and underlying accounting records, not being identified, tested, authorized, and implemented appropriately to validate that data produced
by its relevant IT system(s) was complete and accurate. Automated process-level controls and manual controls that are dependent upon
the information derived from such financially relevant systems were also determined to be ineffective as a result of such deficiency
and there was not appropriate segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user and privileged access to the financially relevant
systems and data to the appropriate Company personnel. Management has concluded that the likelihood that these deficient controls would
fail to prevent or detect a material misstatement is a reasonable possibility and rise to a material weakness in the aggregate.
Management
is planning to remediate the design of segregation of duties incompatibilities during 2023 by changing access levels, and reviewers,
and updating policies. Despite this deficiency, Management is not aware of any resulting financial statement misstatements and,
additionally, management has undertaken a retrospective analysis of 2022 transactions of individuals with such incompatibilities and
our analysis indicates that none of the changes made was incorrect or inappropriate.
Holiday
Park Cash Collections
Management
has identified a deficiency in one aspect of our cash collection process related to the completeness and accuracy (risk of understatement)
of our recording of cash collection amounts relating to our holiday park business in that the process for reviewing and approving cash
receipts was not consistently documented or implemented.
Despite
this deficiency, management is not aware of any resulting financial statement misstatements or cash count discrepancies and management
is planning to remediate the material weakness during 2023 by implementing new or enhanced controls around cash collections at holiday
parks.
Contract
Approvals
Management
has identified a deficiency related to the design and operation of the Company’s contract review and approval process in relation
to certain contract amendments.
Despite
this deficiency, Management is not aware of any resulting financial statement misstatements or inappropriate contract terms and management
is planning to remediate the material weakness during 2023 by implementing new or enhanced controls around contracting with customers,
specifically as it relates to contract amendments.
With
respect to each of the above, management has begun the remediation process, however the material weaknesses cannot be considered fully
remediated until it is demonstrated that the new or enhanced controls and other impacted or dependent controls have operated effectively
for a sufficient period of time.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except
for the changes noted above in connection with the initiatives to remediate material weaknesses, there have been no other changes in
our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the
most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Inspired
Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Adverse
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We
have audited Inspired Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described in the
following paragraph on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
A
material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in “Management’s Annual Report
on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”:
The
Company did not design and/or implement program change management and user access controls to ensure:
IT
program and data changes affecting the Company’s financial IT applications & underlying accounting records, are identified,
tested, authorized and implemented appropriately to validate that data produced by its relevant IT system(s) were complete and accurate.
Automated process-level controls and manual controls that are dependent upon the information derived from such financially relevant systems
were also determined to be ineffective as a result of such deficiency and appropriate segregation of duties that would adequately restrict
user and privileged access to the financially relevant systems and data to the appropriate Company personnel.
The
Company has not designed an effective control related to the completeness and accuracy of cash collection amounts input to the Company’s
records in the Leisure Segment.
The
Company has not designed effective controls over the contract approval process relating to revenue contracts, including contracts involving
royalty rates.
These
deficiencies represent material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement with respect to the Company’s significant accounts and disclosures will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis.
This
material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the fiscal December
31, 2022 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 16, 2023 on those financial statements.
We
have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”),
the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2022 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
(loss) income, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 of the Company
and our report dated March 16, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
62
Basis
for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in
the accompanying “ Management Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with
the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing
such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition
and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of
the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could
have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods
are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Inspired
Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inspired Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”)
as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (income), stockholders’
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred
to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
We
also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”),
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 16, 2023, based on the criteria established in Internal Control -
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013 , expressed
an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting because of the existence of
material weaknesses.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent
with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits
included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud,
and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matters
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
F- 2
Revenue
Recognition – Use of IT Systems to track and invoice revenue and the determination of the various promises in the arrangement
Certain
of the Company’s revenue contracts with customers include multiple promises (such as hardware, software and maintenance, among
others). The Company is required to evaluate whether each promise represents a performance obligation. The evaluation of whether promises
are both capable of being distinct in the context of a contract (and thus constitute performance obligations) can require significant
judgment and could change the amount of revenue recognized in a given period.
We
identified the determination of performance obligations for contracts with higher contract values as a critical audit matter because
of the judgments and estimates management makes to evaluate such contracts and the impact of such judgments on the amount of revenue
recognized in a given period. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of testing.
Addressing
the matter involved performing procedures and evaluation of audit evidence that included, among others
●
Evaluating
contract terms and conditions,
●
Reviewing
and assessing the methodology applied and testing the reliability and mathematical accuracy of the underlying data and calculations,
●
Testing
management’s identification of performance obligations by evaluating whether the promises were both capable of being distinct
and distinct within the context of the contract, including reading the selected contracts and inquiring of certain of the Company’s
accounting and operations personnel to understand the nature of the promises and how they are delivered to the customer, and
●
Evaluating
and concluding on the reasonableness of management’s judgments and estimates.
F- 3
We
involved IT professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained
related to:
●
General
IT controls and IT application controls for the relevant IT systems used to gather and process data,
●
The
transfer of information among the different systems used to gather the data, and
●
The
configuration and change management controls for the reports that were used from the various systems to determine the amount of revenue
recognized.
Capitalization
of Internally and Externally Developed Software
The Company classifies software development costs
as either internal use software or external use software, any costs incurred during preliminary project stages are expensed as incurred;
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, the Company amortizes the capitalized cost of the software over its economic
useful life, which ranges from two to five years. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company capitalized approximately $18,438,000
of software development costs.
We
identified the evaluation of the Company’s capitalization of internal direct labor costs as a critical audit matter. There were
inherent challenges in obtaining an understanding of the structure of systems and processes used to capture the large volumes of internal
direct labor data. Furthermore, subjective judgement was required to evaluate the relevant data that was captured and aggregated, and
to assess the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained.
The
primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following. We involved IT professionals with specialized
skills and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained related to:
●
General
IT controls and IT application controls for the relevant IT systems used to gather and process data,
●
The
transfer of information among the different systems used to gather the data, and
●
The
configuration and change management controls for the reports that were used from the various systems to determine the amount of internal
direct labor costs to capitalize.
In
addition, we evaluated, on a sample basis, the Company’s manual aggregation of information from various IT systems, to determine
the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained, by:
●
Inspecting
the capital project codes to assess that the nature of the activity is capitalized in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles,
●
Comparing
salary and wage information for capitalized internal direct labor costs to employee human resource documents and system profiles,
●
Comparing
the hours of capitalized internal direct labor to the hours recorded to capital activities on the employees’ timesheets,
●
Inquiring
of employees and project managers as to the accuracy of the hours reflected as capital activities on the employee timesheets, and
●
Evaluating
the methodology used to determine the labor rates and comparing the cost types, dates incurred, and amounts of labor costs used to
derive the labor rates to data from the source systems.

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, gaming terminals 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 December 31, 2022, the Company’s cash on hand was $ 25.0 million, and the Company had working capital in addition to cash of
$ 28.9 million. The Company recorded net income of $ 22.3 million and net losses of $ 36.7 million and $ 32.4 million for the year ended December
31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net income/losses include excess capital expenditure, excluding the acquisition of subsidiary
assets, over depreciation and amortization, of $ 2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and excess depreciation and amortization
over capital expenditure, excluding the acquisition of subsidiary assets, of $ 21.4 million and $ 22.4 million for the year ended December
31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, non-cash stock-based compensation of $ 10.8 million, $ 13.0 million and $ 4.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and non-cash changes in fair value of warrant liability of $ 0.0 million, $ 0.9 million
gain and $ 3.2 million losses for the year ended December 31, 2022, 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 $ 34.7 million,
$ 6.2 million and $ 52.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 respectively, with the change year on year due to
land based operations being subject to lockdown restrictions for part of the year ended December 31, 2021. Working capital of $ 53.9 million
includes a non-cash settled item of $ 4.8 million of deferred income. Management currently believes that, absent any long-term coronavirus
(“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 March 2024.
There
have been no COVID-19 restrictions in the United Kingdom since July 2021 and social distancing measures throughout Greece and Italy are
no longer in force as of the second quarter of 2022.

AS

DECEMBER

Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Principles
of Consolidation
All
monetary values set forth in these consolidated financial statements are in US Dollars (“USD”) unless otherwise stated herein.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign
Currency Translation
For
most of our operations, the British pound (“GBP”) is our functional currency. Our reporting currency is the USD. We also
have operations where the local currency is the functional currency, including our operations in mainland Europe and North America. Assets
and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at period-end rates of exchange, equity is translated at historical 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 recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’
deficit. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses, Interest
expense, net and Other finance (expense) income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated
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, currency swaps, valuation of hedging activities, goodwill and intangible
assets, useful lives of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, valuation allowances on deferred taxes, warrant liability, pension
liability, 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.

Cash
We
deposit cash with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Substantially all of the
Company’s cash is held outside of the U.S. Included within the cash balance of $ 25.0 million is $ 2.5 million of cash floats
held on site at holiday parks.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Our standard credit terms are net 30 to 60 days. 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 $ 18.2 million and $ 17.4 million of unbilled accounts receivable as of December
31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
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 first-in-first-out method. We determine the lower of cost or net realizable value of our inventory based on estimates
of potentially excess and obsolete inventories after considering historical and forecasted demand and average selling prices. Demand
for gaming terminals and parts inventory is also subject to technological obsolescence. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate
proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost, and when placed into service, depreciated and amortized to their residual values using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Schedule
of Property and Equipment Estimated Useful Lives
Leasehold
property
Shorter
of the useful life or the life of the lease
Server
based gaming terminals
2
– 7 years
Plant
and machinery and fixtures and fittings
3
– 10 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.

DECEMBER

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 Accounting Standards Codification (“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.
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, with the exception of research and development related primarily to software product
development costs, which is expensed until technological feasibility has been established. Total research and development costs
amounted to $ 16.1
million, $ 13.8
million and $ 15.0
million in the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Research and development costs amounting to $ 1.5
million, $ 3.1
million and $ 3.9
million were expensed to Selling, general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. Research and development costs amounting to $ 14.6
million, $ 10.7
million and $ 11.1
million were capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Employee related costs associated
with related product development are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Goodwill
and Other Acquired Intangible Assets
Our
principal 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, and increased in 2021 due to the acquisition of 100 %
of the membership interests of Sportech Lotteries, LLC (see Note 2).
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 thirteen 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, 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 four segments which are considered to represent reporting units, Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive
and Leisure, as detailed in Note 27. 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 mixture of qualitative and quantitative tests were carried out as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and no impairment
was required at any of these dates.
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.

DECEMBER

Equity
Method Investment
For
investments in entities over which the Company exercises significant influence, but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation,
the Company uses the equity method of accounting. On October 1, 2019, the Company acquired a 40 % noncontrolling interest in Innov8 Gaming
Limited in connection with the Acquisition (see Note 2), and in April 2020 this interest was disposed of. The value of the Company’s
equity method investment was $ 0.7 million as of December 31, 2019, and was impaired to $Nil in March 2020 prior to disposal. The Company’s
share of earnings from its equity method investee, including the impairment, is presented in Loss from equity method investee in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The
Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amounts of such investment may not be recoverable. The difference between the carrying value of the equity method investment and its
estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment charge when the loss in value is deemed other-than-temporary. Since April 2020, the
Company has had no equity method investments and has therefore recognized no impairments.
Deferred
Revenue and Deferred Cost of Sales
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, recorded as prepaid expenses and other
assets, 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.
Debt
Issuance Costs
Debt
issuance costs incurred in connection with the Company’s debt are capitalized and amortized as interest expense over the term of
the related debt. The Company presents debt issuance costs as a reduction from the carrying amount of debt. Only costs that are wholly
attributable to obtaining the related debt finance are treated as debt issuance costs. Any other costs are expensed to the Consolidated
Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as part of Acquisition and integration related transaction expenses.
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 Statement
of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Common
Stock Purchase Warrants and Derivative Financial Instruments
The
Company reviews any common stock purchase warrants and other freestanding derivative financial instruments at each balance sheet date
and classifies them on the consolidated balance sheet as:
a)
Equity
if they (i) require physical settlement (full or net-share settlement), or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement
or physical settlement in its own shares (full or net shares), or
b)
Assets
or liabilities if they (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs
and if that event is outside the Company’s control), or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement
in shares (full physical settlement or net-share settlement).

December 31, 2020, the Company considered that the warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded
as liabilities. As the warrants met the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the warrants were measured at fair value
at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in
the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the period of change.
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.
Accounting
Policy for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
FASB
ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities
with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures
are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about
the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative
instruments.
As
required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value
of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging
relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting.
Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment
attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying
as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash
flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation.
Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition
of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the
earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are
intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge
accounting.
In
accordance with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance in ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements,” the Company made
an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements
on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.
Revenue
Recognition
Under
ASC 606, a performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods
and services, to a customer. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied and the customer obtains control of promised
goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive
in exchange for goods or services. Under the standard, a contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance
obligation. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company
performs the following five steps:
1.
identify
the contracts with a customer;
2.
identify
the performance obligations within the contract, including whether they are distinct and capable of being distinct in the context
of the contract;

3.
determine
the transaction price;
4.
allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
5.
recognize
revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
Step
1 – Identify the contract
The
Company identifies contracts with its customers when all parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective
obligations, when each party’s rights and the payment terms regarding the goods or services to be transferred can be identified.
The contract must also have commercial substance, and it must be probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it
will be entitled.
Contracts
entered into at or near the same time with the same customer or related parties of the customer are accounted for as one contract if
any of the following criteria are met:
a.
Contracts
were negotiated as a single commercial package (including whether a contract would be loss-making without taking into account the
consideration received under another contract)
b.
Consideration
in one contract depends on the other contract
c.
Goods
or services (or some of the goods or services) are a single performance obligation.
Step
2 – Identify performance obligations
Performance
obligations are identified by considering whether a good or service is distinct. The Company considers a good or service to be distinct
only when the customer can benefit from it either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available, and when the
promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
The
Company applies the series guidance to its performance obligations where the following criteria apply:
a.
Each
distinct good or service in the series meets the criteria to be a performance obligation satisfied over time.
b.
The
same method would be used to measure progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation to transfer each distinct
good or service in the series to the customer.
Step
3 – Determine the transaction price
The
Company considers all amounts to which it has rights in exchange for the goods or services transferred in determining the transaction
price. This includes fixed and variable consideration. Typically, consideration is stated in the contract with the customer.
The
Company assesses usage-based fees to determine whether they qualify as variable consideration. It also considers the impact of any liquidated
damages clauses or service level agreements.
Where
the Company’s performance obligations are determined to be a series, variable consideration is not estimated upfront in accordance
with the exception allowed by ASC 606.
Where
non-refundable upfront fees are included in the Company’s contracts with customer, the Company considers whether or not they represent
payment for a transferred good or service. Where they represent payment for future goods or services, the Company further considers whether
they represent a material right.

OF DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED
DECEMBER
31, 2022, 2021 AND 2020
Step
4 – Allocate the transaction price
The
Company allocates a transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices of the goods or
services being provided. Where a contract includes multiple performance obligations, the Company determines the standalone selling price
at contract inception of the distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation in the contract and allocates the transaction
price in proportion to those standalone selling prices. Where possible, the Company uses the price charged for the good or service to
other customers in similar circumstances as evidence of standalone selling price. Where this is not possible, the standalone selling
price is estimated by experienced management using the best available judgement.
With
respect to performance obligations that are considered to be a series, where appropriate and where the required criteria are met, variable
consideration is allocated entirely to a distinct good or service that is part of a series.
Step
5 – Recognize revenue
The
Company recognizes revenue over time for performance obligations that meet one of the following criteria:
a.
The
customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs.
b.
The
Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced.
c.
The
Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company, and the Company has an enforceable right
to payment for performance completed to date
Revenue
for the Company’s remaining performance obligations that do not meet one of the above criteria is recognized at the point at which
the customer obtains control of the good or service.
Gaming
Revenue
Revenue
from Gaming terminals, access to our content and platform, including electronic table gaming products is recognized in accordance with
the criteria set forth in ASC 606 and is usually based upon a contracted percentage of the operator’s net winnings from the terminals’
daily use. Where this is not the case, including in the case of maintenance only contracts on self-serve betting terminals, revenue is
based upon a fixed daily or weekly usage fee. We recognize revenue from these arrangements in accordance with the series guidance over
time 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 terminals for use over a term, as well as service
obligations related to terminal repairs and server based content and maintenance. Consideration with respect to these performance obligations
typically takes the form of usage based fees, billed at the end of a set period (usually monthly) and due typically 30 days from the
date of the invoice.
Terminal
sales take the form of a transfer of ownership of our developed gaming terminals, and are recognized as Product Sales at a point in time
upon such time as control passes to the customer as they are considered to meet the required criteria to be considered distinct. Payment for terminal sales is typically
due a set number of days after delivery.
Gaming
arrangements typically include service level agreements, consisting of a specified amount of ‘uptime’ with financial penalties
for breaches in excess of specified levels.

Virtual
Sports Revenue
Revenue
from licensing of our gaming software is recognized in accordance with the criteria set forth in ASC 606. Virtual sports retail revenue,
which includes the provision of virtual sports content and services to retail betting outlets, and virtual sports online revenue, which
includes the provision of virtual sports content and services to mobile operators, is usually based upon a contracted percentage of the
operator’s net winnings or, occasionally, a fixed rental fee. We recognize revenue for these fees over time on a daily or weekly
basis over the term of the arrangement, or, where appropriate when the contracted percentages vary prospectively with total operator’s
net winnings generated, we estimate the amount of variable consideration to which we will be entitled, up to and including the date at
which the contracted percentages reset, and recognize this estimated consideration over time. Consideration with respect to these performance
obligations typically takes the form of usage based fees, billed at the end of a set period (usually monthly) and due typically 30 days
from the date of the invoice.
These
arrangements also may include a perpetual license billed up front, granted to the customer for access to our gaming platform and content.
As these up front bills represent payment for future services, revenue from the licensing of perpetual licenses is recognized ratably
over time, or when not specified, over the expected customer relationship period. Upfront fees are normally billed upon signing of the
relevant agreement, and become due and payable at set times thereafter.
Revenue
from the development of bespoke games licensed on a perpetual basis to mobile and online operators is recognized at a point in time on
delivery and acceptance by the customer. We have no ongoing service obligations subsequent to customer acceptance of our bespoke games,
and they meet the criteria to be considered as distinct. Payment for bespoke games is typically due a set number of days after delivery.
Virtual
Sports arrangements may include service level agreements, consisting of a specified amount of ‘uptime’ with financial penalties
for breaches in excess of specified levels.
Interactive
Revenue
Interactive
revenue, which includes slot and table game offerings from our Gaming segment, as well as interactive-only content, via our remote gaming
servers, is based upon a contracted percentage of the operator’s net winnings or a fixed rental fee. We recognize revenue for these
fees over time on a daily or weekly basis over the term of the arrangement, or, where appropriate when the contracted percentages vary
prospectively with total operator’s net winnings generated, we estimate the amount of variable consideration to which we will be
entitled, up to and including the date at which the contracted percentages reset, and recognize this estimated consideration over time.
Consideration with respect to these performance obligations typically takes the form of usage based fees, billed at the end of a set
period (usually monthly) and due typically 30 days from the date of the invoice.
Leisure
Revenue
The
Leisure segment earns revenue from providing gaming machine terminals and amusement machine terminals to pubs, holiday resorts and amusement
arcades, both standalone and within motorway service stations. Revenue from these activities is based upon a contracted percentage of
the operator’s net winnings from the terminals’ daily use, or a fixed daily or weekly rental fee.
We
jointly operate arcades within holiday resorts with the resort owners. Revenue is based on a contractually agreed share of takings. We
also wholly operate a number of gaming arcades within certain motorway service stations.
We
recognize revenue from these arrangements, in accordance with the series guidance as set forth in ASC 606, over time over the term of
the arrangement, or when not specified over the expected customer relationship period. All revenue is recognized in the period that the
machine cash collections occur, with adjustments to account for the movement of income uncollected in the specific period.
Performance
obligations under these arrangements may include the delivery and installation of our terminals for use over a term, as well as service
obligations related to terminal repairs and content and maintenance. Consideration with respect to these performance obligations typically
takes the form of usage based fees, billed at the end of a set period (usually monthly) and due typically 30 days from the date of the
invoice.
We
also provide terminal and spares management services to third parties, including customers. Revenue in respect to these services takes
the form of fixed fee, either per machine or per time period, and is recognized at the point in time when control transfers to the customer,
which is normally upon delivery and acceptance by the customer, or at the point that services are rendered. This revenue is recognized
as Service Revenue when included as part of a larger performance obligation, and as Product Sales when it is offered as a separate distinct
performance obligation. Revenue is invoiced in arrears and settled within 30 days.

Disaggregation
of revenue
Information
on disaggregation of revenue is included in Note 26, “Segment Reporting and Geographic Information.”
Shipping
and Handling Costs
Shipping
and handling costs for products sales and terminals related to subscription services are included in cost of sales, excluding depreciation
and amortization for all periods presented.
Share-Based
Payment Arrangements
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC
718”). ASC 718 requires generally that all equity awards be accounted for at their “fair value.” This fair value is
measured on the grant date for stock-settled awards.. Fair value is equal to the underlying value of the stock for “full-value”
awards such as restricted stock and restricted stock units that have time vesting conditions, and stock options and performance shares
that have market conditions are valued using an option-pricing model with traditional inputs for “appreciation” awards.
Costs
equal to these fair values are recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to
vest, or in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately and have no future service condition. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
For awards that vest over time, previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not
satisfied and the award is forfeited.
Subsequent
modifications to outstanding awards result in incremental cost if the fair value is increased as a result of the modification. The incremental
cost is charged over the estimated derived service period.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Our provision for income taxes is principally 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.
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.
Comprehensive
Loss
We
include and separately classify in comprehensive loss unrealized gains and losses and hedges 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.

Leases
We
determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. Once it is determined that an arrangement is, or contains, a
lease, that determination should only be reassessed if the legal arrangement is modified. Changes to assumptions such as market-based
factors do not trigger a reassessment. Determining whether a contract contains a lease requires judgement. In general, arrangements are
considered to be a lease when all of the following apply:
●
it
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration;
●
we
have substantially all economic benefits from the use of the asset; and
●
we
can direct the use of the identified asset.
The
terms of a lease arrangement determine how a lease is classified and the resulting income statement recognition. When the terms of a
lease effectively transfer control of the underlying asset, the lease represents an in substance financed purchase (sale) of an asset
and the lease is classified as a finance lease by the lessee and a sales-type lease by the lessor. When a lease does not effectively
transfer control of the underlying asset to the lessee, but the lessor obtains a guarantee for the value of the asset from a third party,
the lessor would classify a lease as a direct financing lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Where
a lease contains more than one component, the consideration in the contract is allocated on a relative standalone price basis to the
separate lease components and the non-lease components.
Leases
– the Company as lessee
Lease
assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement
date. As our operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available
on the date that we adopted Topic 842, January 1, 2019 or commencement date, if later, in determining the present value of future payments.
Finance leases are included using the rate implicit in the lease. The lease ROU asset includes any lease payment made and initial direct
costs incurred. Our operating lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease which are included in the measurement
of the ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

The
lease expense for minimum operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance lease assets are
amortized straight-line over their useful life where the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset, or to the earlier of the
end of the useful life of the asset and the end of the lease term where ownership is not transferred. Interest on finance leases is recognized
as the amount that results in a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability.
We
have operating lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company did not make the election to treat the lease and non-lease
components as a single component and considers the non-lease components as a separate unit of account.
The
Company has elected not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term operating leases. We recognize the lease payments
for short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation
for those payments is incurred
Leases
– the Company as lessor
The
Company’s lease arrangements are a mixture of sales-type leases and operating leases.
Sales-type
lease receivables are recognized based on the net investment in the lease, at the present value of future minimum lease payments receivable
over the lease term, plus any guaranteed residual value of the underlying asset, at the commencement date.
The
discount rate used in determining the present value of the future minimum lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease. This is calculated
using the fair value of the underlying asset and the present value of any unguaranteed residual value.
The
underlying asset is derecognized at the point of inception and a selling profit is recognized at lease commencement. Subsequent interest
income is recognized over the term of the lease, at an amount that produces a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance
of the net investment in the lease.
For
operating leases, we continue to recognize the underlying asset. Lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

“Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASU 2019-11”). ASU 2016-13
affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, and any other financial assets that have the contractual right to receive cash. ASU
2016-13 requires an entity to recognize expected credit losses rather than incurred losses for financial assets. The guidance will be
effective beginning on January 1, 2023, including interim periods within that year and requires a modified retrospective transition approach
through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Under the modified retrospective
method of adoption, prior year reported results are not restated. We have evaluated the effect of this guidance and the adoption of ASU
2016-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In
October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract

and measures contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date,
an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts as if it had originated the contracts. The guidance will be effective beginning
on January 1, 2023, including interim periods within that year, and should be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring
on or after the effective date. The adoption of ASU 2021-08 will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement

Acquisitions
and Disposals
In
January 2022, the Company sold its Italian VLT business, including all terminal and other assets, staff costs and facilities and contracts,
to a non-connected party for total proceeds of € 1.1 million ($ 1.2 million), recognizing a profit on disposal of € 0.8 million
($ 0.9 million). The Company continues to serve these Italian markets in the form of the provision of platform and games.
On
December 31, 2021, the Company acquired 100 % of the membership interests of Sportech Lotteries, LLC, which has since been renamed Inspired
Entertainment Lotteries, LLC. The Company concluded that Inspired Entertainment Lotteries, LLC’s contract with its only customer
represented substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired and, in accordance with ASC 805, determined that the asset
set did not comprise a business. The Company therefore applied asset acquisition accounting to the transaction, and recorded the acquisition
of the customer contract as an intangible asset in the amount of $ 12.3 million. The intangible asset will be amortized over its remaining
useful life of 13.2 years.
During
the year ended December 31, 2022, as a result of revisions made to management’s preliminary assessments, the Company recognized
an additional $ 0.9 million long-term receivable related to Inspired Entertainment Lotteries, LLC, and reduced the value of the customer
contract intangible asset accordingly.

Senior
Secured Notes
On
May 20, 2021, Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued £ 235.0 million ($ 282.9 million,
as translated at December 31, 2022) 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
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% 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 ($ 24.1 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.

AS

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 ($ 175.5
million) with a cash interest rate of 8.25 % plus 3-month LIBOR and € 93.1 million ($ 99.4 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 ($ 24.1 million)
with a cash interest rate on any utilization of 6.50% plus 3-month LIBOR (the “Prior Financing”)..
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, (the “Prior
SFA) see below) 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 Income (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 14).
Senior
Facilities Agreement
The
Company’s Prior SFA (which was with Lucid Agency Services Limited, as agent, Nomura International plc and Macquarie Corporate Holdings
Pty Limited (UK Branch) as arrangers and/or bookrunners) was entered into in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the Gaming
Technology Group of Novomatic UK Ltd on October 1, 2019, and, provided for, subject to certain conditions, two tranches of senior secured
term loans, in an original principal amount of £ 140.0 million ($ 168.6 million) and € 90.0 million ($ 96.1 million), respectively
and a secured revolving facility loan in an original principal amount of £ 20.0 million ($ 24.1 million). The term loans, which were
funded on October 1, 2019, were used to, among other things, pay the purchase price of the NTG Acquisition and refinance the Company’s
prior indebtedness.
The
term loan for £ 140.0 million ($ 168.6 million) initially carried a cash interest rate of 7.25 % plus 3-month LIBOR, and the term
loan for € 90.0 million ($ 96.1 million) initially carried a cash interest rate of 6.75 % plus 3-month EURIBOR. The £ 20.0 million
($ 24.1 million) revolving credit facility initially carried a cash interest rate on any utilization at 5.50 % plus 3-month LIBOR, with
any unutilized amount initially carrying a cash interest cost at 30 % of the applicable margin on the revolving credit facility loan.

rating requirements, (iii) allowing the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness under the UK Coronavirus Large
Business Interruption Loan Scheme under a stand-alone facility, which may rank pari passu or junior to the facilities under the
Prior SFA, in an amount not exceeding £ 10.0 million ($ 12.0 million), (iv) removing certain applicable rating requirements, (v)
limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including by reducing the amount of general
indebtedness the Company and its subsidiaries are permitted to incur and removing the ability to incur senior secured, second lien and
unsecured indebtedness in an amount not exceeding the aggregate of (A) an unlimited amount, as long as, pro forma for the utilization
of such indebtedness, the consolidated total net leverage ratio does not exceed the lower of 3.4:1 and the then applicable ratio with
respect to the consolidated total net leverage financial covenant summarized further below, plus (B) an amount equal to the greater of
£16.0 million ($19.2 million) and 25% of the consolidated pro forma EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries for the relevant
period (as defined, but disregarding, for the purposes of calculating the usage of such cap, any financial indebtedness applied to refinancing
other financial indebtedness, together with any related interest, fees, costs and expenses) , (vi) increasing the margin applicable to
the Facilities (as defined) by 1 % , and adding an additional payment-in-kind margin of 0.75 % payable on any principal amounts outstanding
under Facility B (as defined in the Prior SFA) after September 24, 2021 (the “Relevant Date”), (vii) adding an exit fee payable
by the Company with respect to any repayment or prepayment of Facility B after the Relevant Date at the time of such repayment or prepayment
in an amount equal to 0.75 % of the principal amount of Facility B being repaid or prepaid, (viii) removing any ability to carry forward
or carry back any unused allowance under the applicable capital expenditure financial covenant and (ix) granting certain additional information
rights to the lenders under the Prior SFA, including the provision of a budget, and certain board observation rights until December 31,
2022. All other material terms of the SFA remained unchanged in all material respects.
In
consideration for the amendments listed above, the Company agreed to pay the lenders an amendment fee equal to 1% of the Total Commitments
(as defined in the Prior SFA).The amendment fee was payable to the lenders pro rata to their commitments under the Prior SFA.
The
modification to the Prior SFA was not considered to be substantial in accordance with Topic 470-50 and was therefore not treated as a
debt extinguishment. The amendment fees, amounting to $ 3.1 million, were associated with the modified debt instrument and were to be
amortized along with the existing unamortized debt issuance costs. Fees payable to third parties were expensed as incurred, resulting
in $ 1.0 million charged to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Derivatives
and Hedging Activities
On
January 15, 2020, the Company entered into 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 £ 95.0 million ($ 114.4 million) at a fixed rate of
0.9255 % based on the 6-month LIBOR rate and for € 60.0 million ($ 64.1 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 as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company
estimates that an additional $ 0.3 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.
As
of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not have any derivatives. Losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive
income into interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2022
amounted to $ 0.7
million.
As
of December 31, 2020, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of

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 December 31, 2022, was $ 261.0 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
December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no Level 3 inputs, and no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the
fair value hierarchy.

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.
As
of December 31, 2022, there were (i) 1,857,036 shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2021 Plan, including 341,647 shares subject
to performance-based target awards, 232,500 shares subject to market-price vesting conditions, 311,558 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 259,492 shares subject to awards as to which the applicable vesting conditions
have been met which remain subject to deferred settlement ; (ii) 174,964 shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2018 Plan, including
25,000 shares subject to performance-based target awards and 124,964 shares subject to awards as to which the applicable vesting conditions
have been met which remain subject to deferred settlement; and (iii) 1,318,686 shares subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans
as to which the applicable vesting conditions have been met which remain subject to deferred settlement. As of December 31, 2022, there
were 1,002,805 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 outstanding as of December 31, 2022 consisted of RSUs (including time-based
RSUs, performance-based RSUs and stock price based RSUs).

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. Offerings may also be under the ESPP’s subplan for UK-based employees (the “Subplan”) which was adopted
in June 2022 and is designed to meet the requirements of a sharesave scheme under UK law. The terms applicable to the offerings approved
in 2022 under the ESPP and Subplan are described below. Based on enrollments in these offerings, the Company estimates that approximately
76,000 shares will be purchased ( 4,000 shares under the ESPP and 72,000 under the Subplan).
The
offering period approved in 2022 for the ESPP is for a period of twelve months (ending in October 2023), eligible employees may contribute
up to 10 % of base compensation, a maximum of 1,000 shares may be purchased per participant, the purchase price will be equal to 85 % of
the lower of the closing price of the common stock at the beginning of the offering period (the applicable closing price was $ 10.20 )
and the end of the offering period and shares will be purchased on the last day of the offering period. Under the offering approved for
the Subplan, eligible employees may contribute a maximum amount of £ 350 per month through payroll deductions over a period of three
years (through October 2025), the purchase price will be equal to 85 % of the closing price of the common stock on the day prior to commencement
of the enrollment window for the offering (the applicable closing price was $ 11.53 ), and participants have a period of six months following
the end of the offering to elect to purchase shares or receive a refund.
As
of December 31, 2022, a total of 467,751 shares remained available for purchase under the ESPP. A total of 7,649 shares were issued under
the ESPP in 2020 (at a purchase price of $ 3.2215 per share) and no shares were issued under the ESPP in 2021 or 2022.

The
RSUs that were granted during the year ended December 31, 2022 included: (a) 48,716 RSUs under the Board’s compensation program
for non-employee directors which vest during the year of grant and, at the election of the participant, may remain unsettled until
the director leaves the Company; and (b) 450,882 RSUs under an incentive program for management and other personnel, as to which
one-half was in the form of performance-based RSUs that are conditioned on attainment of performance criteria for fiscal year 2022
and subject to a time-based service period through December 31, 2024 and the other one-half vests in installments through December
31, 2024.

The
RSUs that vested during the year ended December 31, 2022 included: (a) 119,492 RSUs that are
subject to deferred settlement terms; and (b) 682,474 RSUs that were settled on a net share basis on or about December 30,
2022, resulting in 374,546 shares being issued in and 307,928 withheld for taxes (the processing of the issuance and delivery of
such 374,546 shares occurred partially in December 2022 (as to 42,319 shares) and partially in January 2023 (as to 332,227 shares)).
The
Company issued a total of 543,294 shares during the year ended December 31, 2022 in net settlement of RSUs which included an aggregate
of 442,817 shares in settlement of RSUs that vested during the prior year on December 31, 2021.
The
weighted average grant date fair value of awards granted for years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 amounted
to $ 14.36 ,
$ 10.15
and $ 4.13 ,
respectively. The vesting date value of RSUs vesting for years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 amounted
to $ 10.8
million, $ 16.1
million and $ 2.5
million, respectively. There
was no income tax benefit recognized related to awards that vested during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 ,
respectively as there is a full valuation allowance in place against the RSU scheme ’s deferred tax asset .
Stock-based
compensation is recognized as an expense 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 requisite service period for awards to employees is generally satisfied
over a vesting period of three years (and one year for non-employee directors). The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. For
stock purchase rights under the Company’s ESPP (including its subplan), the Company estimates fair value using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model on the dates of grant, with the compensation expense recognized over the requisite service period.

Net
Income (Loss) per Share
Basic
income/loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income/loss attributable 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, unless the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The
computation of diluted EPS excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because they were either
contingently issuable shares or because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has
$ 9.0 million and $ 39.5 million, respectively, of gross federal net operating loss carry forwards, these losses have an unlimited carry
forward. The cumulative state net operating losses as of December 31, 2022 are $ 58.4 million, which begin to expire in 2026. The utilization
of both the Company’s federal and state net operating losses may be subject to a limitation in the future due to the “change
of ownership provisions” under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not had an ownership
change under Section 382.
As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company also
has gross net operating losses in foreign jurisdictions, primarily the United Kingdom, totalling $ 74.5 million and $ 83.2 million, respectively.
The majority of these net operating losses have an unlimited carry forward period.

Company recorded a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets as of both December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. We
intend to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the
reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. However, given our current earnings and anticipated future earnings, we believe
that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months, sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow us
to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance
would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded.
However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability
that we are able to actually achieve. The valuation allowance we recorded as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $ 79.1
million and $ 104.5 million, respectively.
The
Company has not recognized deferred tax liabilities in respect of unremitted earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested in
foreign subsidiaries. We do not provide for taxes on our undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that have not been previously
taxed because we intend to invest such undistributed earnings indefinitely outside of the United States.
Currently, there are no federal, state or foreign jurisdiction tax audits
pending. The Company’s corporate federal and state tax returns from 2019 to 2021 remain subject to examination by tax authorities
and the Company’s foreign tax returns from 2014 to 2021 remain subject to examination by tax authorities.
In accordance with ASC 740, the Company has evaluated
its tax positions to determine if there are any uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company has no unrecognized
tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company does
not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will occur within the next twelve months.

Leases
The
Company as Lessee
The
Company is party to operating leases with third parties with respect to various real estate and vehicles. Real estate leases typically
include a lease (of the property) and a non-lease (provision of services) component which are accounted for separately. Where lease costs
are variable due to future rent reviews, these are treated as part of the lease asset and lease liabilities as they are considered to
qualify as variable lease costs which are subject to an index or rate. These costs are included at the amount prior to any reviews, as
it is not permitted to estimate future rent reviews. Where real estate leases contain an option to terminate, any period beyond the option
date is only included as part of the lease term if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise the option. Vehicle leases typically
contain a lease (of the vehicle) and a non-lease (provision of services) component which are accounted for separately.
The
leases have remaining terms of 1 to 10 years.
During
the years to December 31, 2021 and 2020, certain concessions were granted with respect to the Company’s operating leases in light
of Covid-19. These took the form of lease extensions, where nothing was paid for a period of time with that same period of time and payments
added onto the lease at the end, payment holidays, where payments were deferred until a later date, but with no lease extension, and
discounted payments, where payments were reduced and not repaid either at a later date or through lease extensions. The Company elected
to use the practical expedient granted by the FASB and account for the concessions as if they were part of the enforceable rights and
obligations of the parties under the existing lease contract for all affected operating leases. Lease extensions and discounted payments
were accounted using the ‘cash basis’ approach, with the lease liability and right-of-use asset continuing to be accounted
for as if payments were still being made under the original terms of the lease. Payment holidays were accounted for using the ‘remeasurement
consistent with resolving a contingency’ approach, which involved remeasuring the liability and the right-of-use asset and continuing
to recognize the total cost of the lease on a straight line basis over the period to which it relates.

From

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 an independently administered fund. The defined contribution
pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Company and amounted to $ 2.9 million, $ 2.4 million and $ 2.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Contributions totaling $ 1.2 million and $ 0.8 million were payable to the fund
as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
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 in these consolidated financial statements. Retirement benefits are generally
based on a portion of an employee’s pensionable earnings during years prior to 2010.
The
latest triennial actuarial valuation of the scheme as at March 31, 2021 was finalized in June 2022. The actuarial valuation revealed
that the statutory funding objective was not met, i.e. there were insufficient assets to cover the Scheme’s Technical Provisions
and there was a funding shortfall of £ 8.2 million ($ 9.9 million) at the valuation date. Under the Recovery Plan and Schedule of
Contributions agreed between the Trustee and the Company on June 28, 2022, it was agreed that the shortfall will be met by contributions
of £0.9 million ($1.1 million) for each the years ended December 31 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, of £0.7 million ($0.8 million)
for the year ended December 31, 2025 and of £0.5 million ($0.6 million) for the period January 1, 2026 to October 31, 2026 . The
Company will also make expense contributions of £ 0.3 million ($ 0.4 million) per annum for the period covered by the Recovery Plan
and Schedule of Contributions.

AS

DECEMBER

The
trustee has made an allowance for the pension scheme liability profile when deciding the investment strategy of the pension scheme. Since
the pension scheme is closed to new entrants and ceased future accrual with effect from March 31, 2010, it has continued to mature gradually.
Therefore, the trustee reviews the investment strategy regularly to check whether any changes are needed. When considering the investment
strategy, the trustee has taken into account the effect of any possible increases in the deficit reduction contributions on the financial
position of the Company, and the extent to which the Company will be able to bear these changes.
The
scheme’s investment policy is to maximize long-term financial return commensurate with security and minimizing risk, with an objective
of achieving a return of around 3% per annum above the return on UK Government bonds. This is achieved by holding a portfolio of marketable
investments that avoids over-concentration of investment and spreads assets both over industries and geographies. In setting investment
strategy, the trustees considered the lowest risk strategy that they could adopt in relation to the scheme’s liabilities and designed
an asset allocation to achieve a higher return while maintaining a cautious approach to meeting the scheme’s liabilities. The trustees
undertake periodic reviews of the investment strategy and take advice from their investment advisors. They consider a full range of asset
classes, the risks and rewards of a range of alternative asset allocation strategies, the suitability of each asset class and the need
for appropriate diversification. The current strategy is to hold 12% in a diversified growth fund, 24% in diversified credit, 18% in
a equity-linked liability-driven investment funds, 6% in credit-linked liability-driven investment funds and 40% in a buy-in policy.
Our
pension benefit costs are calculated using various actuarial assumptions and methodologies. These assumptions include discount rates,
inflation, expected returns on plan assets, mortality rates and other factors. The assumptions used in recording the obligations under
our plans represent our best estimates, and we believe that they are reasonable, based on information as to historical experience and
performance as well as other factors that might cause future expectations to differ from past trends. Differences in actual experience
or changes in assumptions may affect our pension obligations and future expense. The principal factors contributing to actuarial gains
and losses each year are (1) changes in the discount rate used to value pension benefit obligations as of the measurement date and (2)
differences between the expected and the actual return on plan assets.
Our
valuation methodologies used for pension assets measured at fair value are as follows. There have been no changes in the methodologies
used at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
The
diversified fund is valued at fair value by using the net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held by the plan at the year end.
The NAV of the diversified fund is not publicly quoted. The majority of the underlying securities have observable Level 1 or 2 pricing
inputs, including quoted prices for similar assets in active or non-active markets. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
allows NAV per share to serve as a practical expedient to estimate the fair value of the diversified fund. ASC 820 also states that where
NAV is allowed to be used as an estimate of fair value, if the reporting entity has the ability to redeem its investment at NAV as of
the measurement date, that investment shall be categorized as a Level II fair value measurement. If the investment cannot be redeemed
at the measurement date, but may be redeemable in the future, but at an uncertain date, the investment shall be categorized as a Level
3 fair value measurement.
As
of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the diversified fund was redeemable at NAV as of the measurement dates and, therefore, classified
as Level 2.
With
respect to the buy-in contract, it was agreed during the year ended September 27, 2014, that 281 pensioners of the plan would be insured
by means of a pensioner buy-in. The liabilities and assets in respect of insured pensioners are assumed to match for the purposes of
ASC 715, Pensions - Retirement Benefits, disclosures (i.e. the full benefits have been insured). The approach adopted has therefore been
to include within the total value of assets, an amount equal to the calculated total liability value of the insured pensioners on the
actuarial assumptions adopted for ASC 715 purposes. The buy-in contract is, therefore, classified as Level 3.

Segment
Reporting and Geographic Information
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 Company’s chief decision-maker is the Office of the Executive Chairman.
The
Company’s chief decision-maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information
about revenue and operating profit by reporting unit. This information is used for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial
performance.
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.
The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

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 years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 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.
