−Removed: (2) provide reasonable assurance
−Removed: that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S.
−Removed: and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors;
−Removed: reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of any unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that
−Removed: could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: Internal control over financial reporting may not
−Removed: prevent or detect errors or misstatements in our consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
−Removed: to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or
−Removed: compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
−Removed: Management has assessed the
−Removed: effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 based on the criteria
−Removed: set forth in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
−Removed: Based on that assessment, our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2022 was not effective, based upon
−Removed: the material weaknesses discussed below.
−Removed: A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or
−Removed: combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
−Removed: misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
−Removed: of Previously Reported Material Weakness
−Removed: As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual
−Removed: Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial
−Removed: reporting relating to an ineffective risk assessment and response process (the “Risk Assessment and Response Material Weakness”).
−Removed: Namely, the Company had not established an effective control environment due to the ineffective design and implementation of certain process
−Removed: controls, including management review controls.
−Removed: These controls pertain to accounting estimates, account reconciliations, and approval
−Removed: processes of some of the Company’s significant accounts.
−Removed: These deficiencies represented material weaknesses in the Company’s
−Removed: internal control over financial reporting as there was a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement with respect to certain of
−Removed: the Company’s significant accounts and disclosures would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
−Removed: Factors contributing to
−Removed: the Risk Assessment and Response Material Weakness included the fact that during 2021, the Company centralized all its finance functions
−Removed: into one location and implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system which went live much later in the year
−Removed: than initially planned, as it had to be put on hold due to the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the Company.
−Removed: As a result, there
−Removed: was insufficient time prior to year-end to implement or operate certain controls which were newly designed or re-designed as a result
−Removed: of the impact of the ERP implementation.
−Removed: The Company had also been without its Chief Financial Officer for a period of time due to illness,
−Removed: which required a redistribution of roles and responsibilities, including those related to controls.
−Removed: We have remediated this previously
−Removed: reported Risk Assessment and Response Material Weakness by (1) establishing an executive steering committee to monitor the remediation
−Removed: of the underlying control deficiencies, (2) hiring an additional SOX specialist in June 2022 to support the Chief Financial Officer and
−Removed: Director of Finance, (3) increasing the use our outsourced SOX service provider to assist in all aspects of our SOX program, (4) providing
−Removed: one-on-one training to control owners who are part of our broader accounting and operations teams on control execution and related documentation
−Removed: and evidence, (5) re-mapping internal control over financial reporting to risks and financial statement assertions, (6) remediating previously
−Removed: identified control gaps or deficient controls by implementing newly designed controls and/or enhancing the operation and/or underlying
−Removed: evidence of existing controls, (7) expanding business process narratives with enhanced details of process flows and controls, and (8)
−Removed: enhancing the documentation of the execution of management review controls.
−Removed: The Company completed its testing of the effectiveness of
−Removed: the remediated, newly designed, and re-designed controls and, other than those relating to the material weaknesses identified below, noted
−Removed: no material control deficiencies.
−Removed: As a result, management concluded that the Risk Assessment and Response Material Weakness was remediated
−Removed: as of December 31, 2022.
−Removed: Material Weaknesses and Remediation
−Removed: has identified internal control deficiencies due to IT program and data changes affecting the Company’s financial IT applications
−Removed: and underlying accounting records, not being identified, tested, authorized, and implemented appropriately to validate that data produced
−Removed: by its relevant IT system(s) was complete and accurate.
−Removed: Automated process-level controls and manual controls that are dependent upon
−Removed: the information derived from such financially relevant systems were also determined to be ineffective as a result of such deficiency
−Removed: and there was not appropriate segregation of duties that would adequately restrict user and privileged access to the financially relevant
−Removed: systems and data to the appropriate Company personnel.
−Removed: Management has concluded that the likelihood that these deficient controls would
−Removed: fail to prevent or detect a material misstatement is a reasonable possibility and rise to a material weakness in the aggregate.
−Removed: is planning to remediate the design of segregation of duties incompatibilities during 2023 by changing access levels, and reviewers,
−Removed: and updating policies.
−Removed: Despite this deficiency, Management is not aware of any resulting financial statement misstatements and,
−Removed: additionally, management has undertaken a retrospective analysis of 2022 transactions of individuals with such incompatibilities and
−Removed: our analysis indicates that none of the changes made was incorrect or inappropriate.
−Removed: Park Cash Collections
−Removed: has identified a deficiency in one aspect of our cash collection process related to the completeness and accuracy (risk of understatement)
−Removed: of our recording of cash collection amounts relating to our holiday park business in that the process for reviewing and approving cash
−Removed: receipts was not consistently documented or implemented.
−Removed: this deficiency, management is not aware of any resulting financial statement misstatements or cash count discrepancies and management
−Removed: is planning to remediate the material weakness during 2023 by implementing new or enhanced controls around cash collections at holiday
−Removed: has identified a deficiency related to the design and operation of the Company’s contract review and approval process in relation
−Removed: to certain contract amendments.
−Removed: this deficiency, Management is not aware of any resulting financial statement misstatements or inappropriate contract terms and management
−Removed: is planning to remediate the material weakness during 2023 by implementing new or enhanced controls around contracting with customers,
−Removed: specifically as it relates to contract amendments.
−Removed: respect to each of the above, management has begun the remediation process, however the material weaknesses cannot be considered fully
−Removed: remediated until it is demonstrated that the new or enhanced controls and other impacted or dependent controls have operated effectively
−Removed: for a sufficient period of time.
−Removed: in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
−Removed: for the changes noted above in connection with the initiatives to remediate material weaknesses, there have been no other changes in
−Removed: 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

+Added: Identified Material Weaknesses and Remediation
+Added: Risk Assessment and Controls Design and Accounting
+Added: Company has identified areas of material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting relating to an ineffective risk
+Added: assessment and appropriate design of controls process (the “Risk Assessment and Controls Design Material Weakness”) as
+Added: well as inadequate monitoring controls (the “Monitoring Controls Material Weakness”).
+Added: Namely, the Company had not
+Added: established an effective control environment due to not effectively identifying risks in the process and then had an ineffective
+Added: design and implementation of certain process controls including but not limiting the following areas:
+Added: (i) Preparation, review and
+Added: approval of account analyses, summaries and reconciliations;
+Added: (ii) documenting accounting policies and design procedures and controls
+Added: to ensure compliance with Company accounting policies and US GAAP;

+Added: (iv) accuracy of
+Added: information input into and output from the financial reporting and accounting systems;

+Added: The Company also did not maintain an effective program
+Added: for monitoring the design and operational effectiveness of internal controls over the financial close and reporting process
+Added: including identification, evaluation, and timely remediation of control deficiencies over financial reporting deficiencies
+Added: throughout interim and annual financial periods.
+Added: The above deficiencies represented material weaknesses in the Company’s
+Added: internal control over financial reporting as there was a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement with respect to certain
+Added: of the Company’s significant accounts and disclosures would not be prevented or detected.
+Added: Additionally, the Company has
+Added: identified a material weakness in Accounting and Reporting Competencies.
+Added: These controls relate to the Company’s Finance
+Added: function including individuals with public accounting and reporting experience, along with competency and training on U.S.
+Added: SEC reporting to ensure compliance with reporting requirements.
+Added: These controls represent a material weakness as there is a
+Added: reasonable possibility that without the appropriate level of knowledge, a material misstatement with respect to certain of the
+Added: Company’s significant accounts or disclosures could not be prevented or detected.
+Added: Factors contributing to these material weaknesses
+Added: included the acquisition of Novomatic UK Gaming Technology in October, 2019, which approximately doubled the size of the Company.
+Added: Finance and Accounting team was formed based on the acquisition with decentralized locations, processes, and technology.
+Added: and documentation were not reviewed and standardized across the departments in a timely manner following the acquisition.
+Added: Additionally,

+Added: areas to evaluate, record and report transactions according to U.S.
+Added: GAAP with supporting controls.
+Added: Risk and gap assessment has commenced
+Added: in all accounting areas to enhance 2024 SOX remediation program.
+Added: (2) Documentation of U.S.
+Added: GAAP accounting policies with corresponding
+Added: process flows and controls.
+Added: New policy documentation covering critical areas has been developed and new corresponding flows and controls
+Added: will be documented as part of 2024 SOX remediation program.
+Added: (3) Automation and monitoring of critical accounting transaction processing
+Added: and controls to facilitate compliance.
+Added: Key changes in the financial ERP have commenced and implementation of new revenue and lease systems
+Added: is commencing.
+Added: (4) Continued advisory support from outsourced technical accounting provider on significant and complex transactions and
+Added: introduction of new SOX provider to assist in implementation, (5) Recruitment in key accounting leadership roles of Chief Financial Officer
+Added: and Global Financial Controller, with U.S.
+Added: GAAP experience and Director of Audit, SOX and Accounting Policy.
+Added: Individuals in these roles
+Added: are in place with needed expertise (6) Training of accounting team in relevant U.S.
+Added: GAAP areas (7) establishment of monitoring procedures
+Added: for identification of control deficiencies over financial reporting throughout interim and annual financial periods.
+Added: Segregation of Duties
+Added: Management has identified internal control deficiencies
+Added: due to IT program and data changes affecting the Company’s financial IT applications and underlying accounting records, not being
+Added: identified, tested, authorized, and implemented appropriately to validate that data produced by its relevant IT system(s) was complete
+Added: and accurate.
+Added: Automated process-level controls and manual controls that are dependent upon the information derived from such financially
+Added: relevant systems were also determined to be ineffective, as a result of such deficiency and there was not appropriate segregation of duties
+Added: that would adequately restrict user and privileged access to the financially relevant systems and data to the appropriate Company personnel.
+Added: Management has concluded that these deficient controls could fail to prevent or detect a material misstatement and as such rise to a material
+Added: weakness in the aggregate.
+Added: Management is planning to continue remediating the
+Added: design of segregation of duties during 2024 by changing access levels, and reviewers, and updating policies.
+Added: Despite this deficiency,
+Added: Management is not aware of any resulting financial statement misstatements and, additionally, management has undertaken a retrospective
+Added: analysis of 2023 transactions of individuals with such incompatibilities and our analysis indicates that none of the changes made was

−Removed: equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred

−Removed: the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
−Removed: also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”),
−Removed: the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 16, 2023, based on the criteria established in Internal Control -
−Removed: Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013 , expressed
−Removed: an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting because of the existence of
−Removed: material weaknesses.
−Removed: financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
−Removed: Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
−Removed: financial statements based on our audits.
−Removed: We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent
−Removed: with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
−Removed: federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
−Removed: and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
−Removed: conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
−Removed: Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
−Removed: reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
−Removed: included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud,
−Removed: and performing procedures that respond to those risks.
−Removed: Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts
−Removed: and disclosures in the financial statements.
−Removed: Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates
−Removed: made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
−Removed: We believe that our audits provide a
−Removed: reasonable basis for our opinion.
−Removed: Audit Matters
−Removed: critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated
−Removed: or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that:
−Removed: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
−Removed: statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.
−Removed: The communication of critical audit matters
−Removed: 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
−Removed: matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
−Removed: Recognition – Use of IT Systems to track and invoice revenue and the determination of the various promises in the arrangement
−Removed: of the Company’s revenue contracts with customers include multiple promises (such as hardware, software and maintenance, among
−Removed: The Company is required to evaluate whether each promise represents a performance obligation.
−Removed: The evaluation of whether promises
−Removed: are both capable of being distinct in the context of a contract (and thus constitute performance obligations) can require significant
−Removed: judgment and could change the amount of revenue recognized in a given period.
−Removed: identified the determination of performance obligations for contracts with higher contract values as a critical audit matter because
−Removed: of the judgments and estimates management makes to evaluate such contracts and the impact of such judgments on the amount of revenue
−Removed: recognized in a given period.
−Removed: This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of testing.
−Removed: the matter involved performing procedures and evaluation of audit evidence that included, among others
−Removed: contract terms and conditions,
−Removed: and assessing the methodology applied and testing the reliability and mathematical accuracy of the underlying data and calculations,
−Removed: management’s identification of performance obligations by evaluating whether the promises were both capable of being distinct
−Removed: and distinct within the context of the contract, including reading the selected contracts and inquiring of certain of the Company’s
−Removed: accounting and operations personnel to understand the nature of the promises and how they are delivered to the customer, and
−Removed: and concluding on the reasonableness of management’s judgments and estimates.
−Removed: involved IT professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained
−Removed: IT controls and IT application controls for the relevant IT systems used to gather and process data,
−Removed: transfer of information among the different systems used to gather the data, and
−Removed: configuration and change management controls for the reports that were used from the various systems to determine the amount of revenue
−Removed: Capitalization
−Removed: of Internally and Externally Developed Software
−Removed: The Company classifies software development costs
−Removed: as either internal use software or external use software, any costs incurred during preliminary project stages are expensed as incurred;
−Removed: direct costs incurred during the application development stages are capitalized;
−Removed: and costs incurred during the post-implementation/operation
−Removed: stages are expensed.
−Removed: Once the software is placed in operation, the Company amortizes the capitalized cost of the software over its economic
−Removed: useful life, which ranges from two to five years.
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company capitalized approximately $18,438,000
−Removed: of software development costs.
−Removed: identified the evaluation of the Company’s capitalization of internal direct labor costs as a critical audit matter.
−Removed: inherent challenges in obtaining an understanding of the structure of systems and processes used to capture the large volumes of internal
−Removed: direct labor data.
−Removed: Furthermore, subjective judgement was required to evaluate the relevant data that was captured and aggregated, and
−Removed: to assess the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained.
−Removed: primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following.
−Removed: We involved IT professionals with specialized
−Removed: skills and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained related to:
−Removed: IT controls and IT application controls for the relevant IT systems used to gather and process data,
−Removed: transfer of information among the different systems used to gather the data, and
−Removed: configuration and change management controls for the reports that were used from the various systems to determine the amount of internal
−Removed: direct labor costs to capitalize.
−Removed: addition, we evaluated, on a sample basis, the Company’s manual aggregation of information from various IT systems, to determine
−Removed: the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained, by:
−Removed: the capital project codes to assess that the nature of the activity is capitalized in accordance with U.S.
−Removed: generally accepted accounting
−Removed: salary and wage information for capitalized internal direct labor costs to employee human resource documents and system profiles,
−Removed: the hours of capitalized internal direct labor to the hours recorded to capital activities on the employees’ timesheets,
−Removed: of employees and project managers as to the accuracy of the hours reflected as capital activities on the employee timesheets, and
−Removed: the methodology used to determine the labor rates and comparing the cost types, dates incurred, and amounts of labor costs used to
−Removed: derive the labor rates to data from the source systems.

−Removed: Development Costs
−Removed: classify software development costs as either internal use software or external use software.
−Removed: We account for costs incurred to develop
−Removed: internal use software in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal Use Software.
−Removed: Consequently,
−Removed: any costs incurred during preliminary project stages are expensed;
−Removed: direct costs incurred during the application development stages are
−Removed: and costs incurred during the post-implementation/operation stages are expensed.
−Removed: Once the software is placed in operation,
−Removed: we amortize the capitalized internal use software cost over its estimated economic useful life, which range from two to five years.
−Removed: purchase, license and incur costs to develop external use software to be used in the products we sell or provide to customers.
−Removed: are capitalized under ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to Be Sold Leased or Marketed.
−Removed: Costs incurred in creating software are expensed when
−Removed: incurred as Selling, General and Administrative Expenses until technological feasibility has been established, after which costs are
−Removed: capitalized up to the date the software is available for general release to customers.
−Removed: We capitalize the payments made for software that
−Removed: we purchase or license for use in our products that has previously met the technological feasibility criteria prior to our purchase or
−Removed: Annual amortization of capitalized external use software development costs is recorded over the estimated economic life, which
−Removed: is two to five years.
−Removed: and development costs are expensed as incurred, with the exception of research and development related primarily to software product
−Removed: development costs, which is expensed until technological feasibility has been established.

−Removed: Employee related costs associated
−Removed: with related product development are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of
−Removed: Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
−Removed: and Other Acquired Intangible Assets
−Removed: principal acquired intangible assets relate to goodwill, trademarks and customer relationships.
−Removed: Goodwill represents the excess purchase
−Removed: price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination.
−Removed: Trademarks and customer relationships were
−Removed: originally recorded at their fair values in connection with business combinations, and increased in 2021 due to the acquisition of 100 %
−Removed: of the membership interests of Sportech Lotteries, LLC (see Note 2).
−Removed: and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually.
−Removed: Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over three to thirteen years to their estimated residual values
−Removed: and reviewed for impairment.
−Removed: Factors considered when assigning useful lives include legal, regulatory and contractual provisions, product
−Removed: obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors.
−Removed: of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets
−Removed: test for goodwill impairment at least annually on the last day of our fiscal period, and whenever other facts and circumstances indicate
−Removed: that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
−Removed: For goodwill impairment evaluations, we first make a qualitative assessment to determine
−Removed: if goodwill is likely to be impaired.
−Removed: If it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying
−Removed: value, we then compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its respective carrying amount.
−Removed: Goodwill is carried, and therefore tested,
−Removed: at the reporting unit level.
−Removed: We have four segments which are considered to represent reporting units, Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive
−Removed: and Leisure, as detailed in Note 27.
−Removed: If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the amount of the impairment
−Removed: loss, if any, will be measured by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount and would be charged to operations
−Removed: as an impairment loss.
−Removed: A mixture of qualitative and quantitative tests were carried out as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and no impairment
−Removed: was required at any of these dates.
−Removed: assess the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever events arise or circumstances
−Removed: change that indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
−Removed: Recoverability of long-lived assets (or asset groups) to
−Removed: 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
−Removed: cash flows to be generated by that asset (or asset group) or, for identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives, by determining whether
−Removed: the amortization of the intangible asset balance over its remaining life can be recovered through expected net future undiscounted cash
−Removed: The amount of impairment of other long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives is measured by the amount by which
−Removed: the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair market value of the asset.

−Removed: investments in entities over which the Company exercises significant influence, but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation,
−Removed: the Company uses the equity method of accounting.
−Removed: On October 1, 2019, the Company acquired a 40 % noncontrolling interest in Innov8 Gaming
−Removed: Limited in connection with the Acquisition (see Note 2), and in April 2020 this interest was disposed of.
−Removed: The value of the Company’s
−Removed: equity method investment was $ 0.7 million as of December 31, 2019, and was impaired to $Nil in March 2020 prior to disposal.
−Removed: The Company’s
−Removed: share of earnings from its equity method investee, including the impairment, is presented in Loss from equity method investee in the
−Removed: Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
−Removed: Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
−Removed: amounts of such investment may not be recoverable.
−Removed: The difference between the carrying value of the equity method investment and its
−Removed: estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment charge when the loss in value is deemed other-than-temporary.
−Removed: Since April 2020, the
−Removed: Company has had no equity method investments and has therefore recognized no impairments.
−Removed: Revenue and Deferred Cost of Sales
−Removed: revenue arises from the timing differences between the shipment or installation of gaming terminals and systems products and the satisfaction
−Removed: of all revenue recognition criteria consistent with our revenue recognition policy, as well as prepayment of contracts which are recognized
−Removed: ratably over a service period, such as maintenance or licensing fees.
−Removed: Deferred cost of sales, recorded as prepaid expenses and other
−Removed: assets, consists of the direct costs associated with the manufacture of gaming equipment and systems products for which revenue has been
−Removed: Amounts expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred

−Removed: Issuance Costs
−Removed: issuance costs incurred in connection with the Company’s debt are capitalized and amortized as interest expense over the term of
−Removed: the related debt.
−Removed: The Company presents debt issuance costs as a reduction from the carrying amount of debt.
−Removed: Only costs that are wholly
−Removed: attributable to obtaining the related debt finance are treated as debt issuance costs.
−Removed: Any other costs are expensed to the Consolidated
−Removed: Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as part of Acquisition and integration related transaction expenses.
−Removed: Company is subject to Value Added Tax (“VAT”) in some locations.
−Removed: The amount of VAT liability is determined by applying the
−Removed: applicable tax rate to the invoiced amount of goods and services sold less VAT paid on purchases made with the relevant supporting invoices.
−Removed: VAT is collected from customers by the Company on behalf of the tax authorities and is therefore not charged to the Consolidated Statement
−Removed: of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
−Removed: Stock Purchase Warrants and Derivative Financial Instruments
−Removed: Company reviews any common stock purchase warrants and other freestanding derivative financial instruments at each balance sheet date
−Removed: and classifies them on the consolidated balance sheet as:

−Removed: December 31, 2020, the Company considered that the warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded
−Removed: as liabilities.
−Removed: As the warrants met the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, the warrants were measured at fair value

−Removed: Policy for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
−Removed: ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities
−Removed: with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of:
−Removed: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
−Removed: instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and
−Removed: related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
−Removed: Further, qualitative disclosures
−Removed: are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about
−Removed: the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative
−Removed: required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
−Removed: The accounting for changes in the fair value
−Removed: of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging
−Removed: relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting.
−Removed: Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment
−Removed: attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges.
−Removed: Derivatives designated and qualifying
−Removed: as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash
−Removed: Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation.
−Removed: Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition
−Removed: 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
−Removed: earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.
−Removed: The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are
−Removed: intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge
−Removed: accordance with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance in ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements,” the Company made
−Removed: an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements

−Removed: ASC 606, a performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods
−Removed: and services, to a customer.
−Removed: Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied and the customer obtains control of promised
−Removed: goods or services.
−Removed: The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive
−Removed: in exchange for goods or services.
−Removed: Under the standard, a contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance
−Removed: To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company
−Removed: performs the following five steps:
−Removed: the contracts with a customer;
−Removed: the performance obligations within the contract, including whether they are distinct and capable of being distinct in the context
−Removed: of the contract;

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

−Removed: 4 – Allocate the transaction price
−Removed: Company allocates a transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices of the goods or
−Removed: services being provided.
−Removed: Where a contract includes multiple performance obligations, the Company determines the standalone selling price
−Removed: at contract inception of the distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation in the contract and allocates the transaction
−Removed: price in proportion to those standalone selling prices.
−Removed: Where possible, the Company uses the price charged for the good or service to
−Removed: other customers in similar circumstances as evidence of standalone selling price.
−Removed: Where this is not possible, the standalone selling
−Removed: price is estimated by experienced management using the best available judgement.
−Removed: respect to performance obligations that are considered to be a series, where appropriate and where the required criteria are met, variable
−Removed: consideration is allocated entirely to a distinct good or service that is part of a series.
−Removed: 5 – Recognize revenue
−Removed: Company recognizes revenue over time for performance obligations that meet one of the following criteria:
−Removed: customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs.
−Removed: Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced.
−Removed: Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company, and the Company has an enforceable right

−Removed: The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
−Removed: For awards that vest over time, previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not

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