FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2020

PRESENTED IN EUROS (THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

 

1      BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

 

Nature of operations

 

Bragg Gaming Group Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Bragg", "BGG", the "Company" or the "Group") is primarily a B2B online gaming technology platform and casino content aggregator through its acquisition of Oryx Gaming International LLC ("Oryx" or "Oryx Gaming") in 2018.

 

The registered and head office of the Company is located at 130 King Street West, Suite 1955, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5X 1E3.

 

Oryx Gaming

 

Oryx Gaming is a B2B gaming solution provider. Oryx offers a turnkey solution, including an omni-channel retail, online and mobile iGaming platform, as well as an advanced content aggregator, sportsbook, lottery, marketing, and operational services. Oryx is incorporated in the State of Delaware and headquartered in Las Vegas. Its primary operations are provided through its wholly owned subsidiaries in Malta, Cyprus, and Slovenia.

 

Classification of online media business unit as held for sale and discontinued operations

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company decided to discontinue its online media business unit. The associated assets and liabilities within the disposal group are presented as held for sale and the net loss attributable as discontinued operations in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements ("interim financial statements"). The Company completed the sale of the majority of its online media business unit on May 7, 2020 (Note 4).

 

Statement of compliance and basis of presentation

 

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

The financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments classified at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) which are measured at fair value. The significant accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently in the preparation of the interim financial statements for all periods presented.

 

These interim financial statements were, at the recommendation of the audit committee, approved and authorized for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 13, 2021.

 

Going concern

 

The interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern and realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the interim financial statements. If the going concern assumption is not appropriate, material adjustments to the interim financial statements could be required.

 

As at March 31, 2021, the Company had current assets of EUR 39,775 (December 31, 2020: EUR 36,810) and current liabilities of EUR 19,442 (December 31, 2020: EUR 30,042). As of March 31, 2021, the Company has a cumulative deficit of EUR 62,305 (December 31, 2020: EUR 61,231). These conditions, along with the continued generation of positive cash flows from operations indicates that the Company will be able to continue on a going concern basis.

1      BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)

 

COVID-19

 

In December 2019, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus), which continued to have a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the national, provincial and municipal governments around the world regarding travel, business operations and isolation and quarantine orders.

 

At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company in the long term as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, quarantine and isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus.

 

However, the Company derives the majority of its revenue from online casino gaming. This sector has largely benefited from the various international “lock downs”, requiring people to stay at home. As a result, such forms of entertainment have prevailed in a similar fashion to the various streaming businesses such as Netflix. Furthermore, the Company has limited exposure to sports betting revenues that have been impacted by the lack of professional sports.

 

As at the time of release of these interim financial statements, the Company’s financial performance, financial position and cash flow had not been adversely impacted by COVID-19 and the Company has determined no impairment of its goodwill is required.

 

Graduation to the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”)

 

On January 27, 2021, the Company announced that it had graduated to the Toronto Stock Exchange. As of market open at 09:30 am ET on the date of announcement, the Company began trading on TSX under the symbol “BRAG”. Concurrent with the TSX listing, the Company’s Common Shares were delisted from the TSX Venture Exchange.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On April 30, 2021, the Company announced a one-for-ten share consolidation (the “reverse stock split”). At the annual and special meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on April 28, 2021, the Company’s shareholders granted the Company’s Board of Directors discretionary authority to implement a consolidation of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company on the basis of a consolidation ratio of up to ten (10) pre-consolidation Common Shares for one (1) post-consolidation Common Share. The Board of Directors selected a share consolidation ratio of ten (10) pre- consolidation Common Shares for one (1) post-consolidation Common Share. The Company’s Common Shares began trading on TSX on a post-consolidation basis under the Company’s existing trade symbol "BRAG" at the opening of the market on May 5, 2021. In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the change has been applied retroactively.

2      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The interim financial statements were prepared using the same basis of presentation, accounting policies and methods of computation as those of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and which are available at www.sedar.com. They were prepared using the same critical estimates and judgments in applying the accounting policies as those of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

Basis of consolidation

 

The interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Control exists when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. The Company assesses control on an ongoing basis. The Company’s interest in the voting share capital of all its subsidiaries is 100%.

 

Transactions and balances between the Company and its consolidated entities have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

The table below summarizes the Company’s operating subsidiaries and the functional currency for each operating subsidiary:

2      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Presentation currency

 

The presentation currency of the Company is the Euro, whilst the functional currencies of its subsidiaries are Euro, Canadian dollar, United States dollar, and British pound sterling due to primary location of individual entities within the Group. The presentation currency of the Euro has been selected as it best represents the majority of the Company’s economic inflows, outflows as well as its assets and liabilities.

 

The assets and liabilities of operations that have a functional currency different from that of the Company’s reporting currency are translated into Euros at the foreign currency exchange rate in effect at the reporting date. The resulting foreign currency exchange gains or losses are recognized in the foreign currency translation adjustment as part of other comprehensive income (loss). When such foreign operations are disposed of, the related foreign currency translation reserve is recognized in net earnings as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

 

Revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Euros at the foreign currency exchange rates that approximate the rates in effect at the dates when such items are transacted.

 

Business combinations

 

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as of the date when control is transferred to the Company. The Company measures goodwill as the excess of the sum of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured as at the acquisition date. Transaction costs that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination, other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, are expensed as incurred.

 

Net earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”)

 

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net earnings (loss) available to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the net earnings available to shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the effects of all potential dilutive instruments.

 

Diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share when the effect of dilutive securities is anti-dilutive.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid marketable investments with an original maturity date of 90 days or less from the date of acquisition and prepaid credit cards. Cash and cash equivalents also include any cash held in trust as proceeds from future private placement.

 

Trade and other receivables

 

Trade and other receivables consist primarily of trade receivables from customers for which Oryx Gaming provides services during the period and accrued income in relation to receivables from customers that have yet to be invoiced, for services provided during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Upon invoicing, amounts are transferred from accrued income to trade receivables and any differences between the accrued and invoiced values are recognized in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive income (loss).

2      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the goods or services has been transferred. Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to, including variable consideration to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Revenue from continuing operations is derived from software platform licensing, maintenance of source code, bespoke development, management service fees, marketing fees, content and hosting fees. Revenue is recognized when the service provided to the customer is complete. Specifically:

 

- Games and content: revenues from content and platform licensing are linked to revenues a customer earns from utilizing the Company’s software platform and aggregated content in that period. The Company’s revenue is therefore linked to the revenue of the underlying customer, i.e., the subsequent sale. The Company recognizes revenue once the customer has earned the revenue from the subsequent sale/services as this is the point where the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

- iGaming and turnkey projects: the Company charges a fixed monthly management and marketing fee for its services in the month in which the services are provided, and performance obligations are met. Charges for development projects are charged on a time and materials basis upon delivery at agreed milestones. Revenue is recognized as it is billed unless services and performance obligations are provided in a future period. If services and performance obligations are not provided in the reporting period, then revenue is not recognized.

 

Revenue from discontinued operations is derived from programmatic advertising, branded content and social media management, sales of software maintenance agreements, software customization services, technical support services and consulting services. Revenue is recognized on a monthly basis as it is billed.

 

Consideration receivable

 

Consideration receivable consists of cash receivables due as a result of the sale of discontinued operations. The fair value of the consideration receivable is determined by calculating the present value of expected future cashflows relating to the consideration receivable, applying the Company’s discount rate.

 

Income taxes

 

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive income (loss), except for current and deferred taxes related to a business combination, or amounts charged directly to equity or other comprehensive income (loss), which are recognized in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

 

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous periods.

2      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Income taxes (continued)

 

Deferred tax is recognized using the asset and liability method of accounting on temporary differences arising between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Deferred tax is measured using enacted or substantively enacted income tax rates expected to apply in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A deferred tax asset is recognized for temporary differences as well as unused tax losses and credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets and they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity, or on different taxable entities where the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

 

Deferred tax is recorded on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are recognized and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset, including costs incurred to prepare the asset for its intended use and capitalized borrowing costs. The commencement date for capitalization of costs occurs when the Company first incurs expenditures for the qualifying assets and undertakes the required activities to prepare the assets for their intended use.

 

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of property and equipment, that necessarily take a substantial period of time to prepare for their intended use and a proportionate share of general borrowings, are capitalized to the cost of those assets, based on a quarterly weighted average cost of borrowing. All other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred and recognized in net interest expense and other financing charges.

 

The cost of replacing a component of property and equipment is recognized in the carrying amount if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Company and the cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognized. The cost of repairs and maintenance of property and equipment is expensed as incurred and recognized in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Gains and losses on disposal of property and equipment are determined by comparing the fair value of proceeds from disposal with the net book value of the assets and are recognized on a net basis in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3 years to their estimated residual value when the assets are available for use. When significant parts of a property and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate components and depreciated separately. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed annually and are adjusted for prospectively, if appropriate.

Leases

 

The Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. If a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, then the contract may contain a lease. The Company assesses whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an asset by performing the following tests:

 

-assess whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset and may be specified explicitly or implicitly. It should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a significant right to substitution, then the asset is not identified;

-assess whether the Company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits arising from the use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

-assess that the Company has the right to direct enjoyment of the asset. This right is identified when the Company has the decision-making rights in how and for what purpose the asset is used. In cases where the decision on how and for what purpose to use the asset has been predetermined, the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset if either it has the right to operate the asset, or the Company has designed the asset in a manner that predetermines how and for what purpose the asset will be used.

 

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

 

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

 

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

 

-fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

-variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

-amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

-the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

 

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.

Leases (continued)

 

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

 

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of equipment that have a lease term of twelve months or less and leases of low-value assets, including IT equipment. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets are measured at cost less any amortization and accumulated impairment losses. These intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if there are indicators that intangible assets may be impaired as described in the Impairment of non-financial assets policy.

 

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Intellectual property identified upon business combination 8 years
Intellectual property acquired from third-parties 3 years
Customer relationships 10 years
Brands 10 years
Deferred development costs 3 years
Trademarks 3 years
Gaming licences over the term of the licence

 

Trademarks and gaming licences are classified under “Other” in the intangible assets disclosure note (Note 10). The Company capitalizes the costs of intangible assets if and only if:

 

-it is probable that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the entity; and

-the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

 

Certain costs incurred in connection with the development of intellectual property relating to proprietary technology are capitalized to intangible assets as development costs. Intangible assets are recorded at cost, which consists of directly attributable costs necessary to create such intangible assets, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The costs mainly include the salaries paid to the software developers and consulting fees.

 

These costs are recognized as development costs assets when the following criteria are met:

 

-it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use;

-management intends to complete the software product;

-it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate future economic benefits;

-adequate technical, financial, and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the products are available; and

-the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.

Goodwill

 

Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognized as an asset at the date that control is acquired. Goodwill is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if there are indicators that goodwill may be impaired as described in the Impairment of non-financial assets policy.

 

Impairment of non-financial assets

 

At each statement of financial position date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset is then tested for impairment by comparing its recoverable amount to its carrying value. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually.

 

For the purpose of impairment testing, assets, including right-of-use assets, are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets. This grouping is referred to as a cash generating unit ("CGU").

 

Corporate assets, which include head office facilities and distribution centres, do not generate separate cash inflows. Corporate assets are tested for impairment at the minimum grouping of CGUs to which the corporate assets can be reasonably and consistently allocated. Goodwill arising from a business combination is tested for impairment at the minimum grouping of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

 

The recoverable amount of a CGU or CGU grouping is the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows from the CGU or CGU grouping, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU or CGU grouping. If the CGU or CGU grouping includes right-of-use assets in its carrying amount, the pre-tax discount rate reflects the risks associated with the exclusion of lease payments from the estimated future cash flows. The fair value less costs to sell is based on the best information available to reflect the amount that could be obtained from the disposal of the CGU or CGU grouping in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties, net of estimates of the costs of disposal.

 

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a CGU or CGU grouping exceeds its recoverable amount. For asset impairments other than goodwill, the impairment loss reduces the carrying amounts of the non-financial assets in the CGU on a pro-rata basis, up to an asset’s individual recoverable amount. Any loss identified from goodwill impairment testing is first applied to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU grouping, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other non-financial assets in the CGU or CGU grouping on a pro-rata basis.

 

For assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

Financial instruments

 

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Upon initial recognition, financial instruments are measured at fair value plus or minus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial instruments that are not classified as fair value through profit or loss.

 

Financial instruments – classification and measurement

 

The classification and measurement approach for financial assets reflect the business model in which assets are managed and their cash flow characteristics. Financial assets are classified and measured based on these categories: amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), or fair value through profit and loss ("FVTPL"). A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:

 

-the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

-the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

A financial asset is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

 

-the financial asset is held within a business model in which assets are managed to achieve a particular objective by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

-the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

A financial asset shall be measured at FVTPL unless it is measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI.

 

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company identifies changes in its business model in managing financial assets.

 

Financial liabilities are classified and measured based on two categories: amortized cost or FVTPL.

 

Fair values are based on quoted market prices where available from active markets, otherwise fair values are estimated using valuation methodologies, primarily discounted cash flows taking into account external market inputs where possible.

 

The amortized cost of a financial asset or liability is the amount at which the financial asset or liability is measured at initial recognition, minus principal payments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount recognized and the maturity amount, minus any reduction for impairment.

 

The following table summarizes the classification and measurement of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:

 

Asset / Liability  Classification / Measurement
Cash and cash equivalents  FVTPL
Trade and other receivables  Amortized cost
Consideration receivable  FVTPL
Other assets  Amortized cost
Trade payables and other liabilities  Amortized cost
Deferred and contingent consideration  FVTPL
Lease obligations on right of use assets  Amortized cost

Financial instruments – valuation

 

The determination of the fair value of financial instruments is performed by the Company’s treasury and financial reporting departments on a quarterly basis. There was no change in the valuation techniques applied to financial instruments during the current period.

 

The carrying amounts reported for cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, consideration receivable, trade payables and other liabilities, and deferred and contingent consideration approximate fair value because of the immediate short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of lease obligations on right of use assets approximates the fair value based on rates currently available from financial institutions and various lenders.

 

Gains and losses on FVTPL financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in net earnings in the period in which they are incurred. Settlement date accounting is used to account for the purchase and sale of financial assets. Gains or losses between the trade date and settlement date on FVTPL financial assets are recorded in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Financial instruments – derecognition

 

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to receive cash flows and benefits from the financial asset expire, or if the Company transfers the control or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to another party. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial asset and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in earnings before income taxes.

 

Financial liabilities are derecognized when obligations under the contract expire, are discharged, or cancelled. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in earnings before income taxes.

 

Financial instruments – impairment

 

The Company applies a forward-looking expected credit loss ("ECL") model at each reporting date to financial assets measured at amortized cost or those measured at FVOCI, except for investments in equity instruments. The ECL model outlines a three-stage approach to reflect the increase in credit risks of a financial instrument:

 

-Stage 1 is comprised of all financial instruments that have not had a significant increase in credit risks since initial recognition or that have low credit risk at the reporting date. The Company is required to recognize impairment for Stage 1 financial instruments based on the expected losses over the expected life of the instrument arising from loss events that could occur during the 12 months following the reporting date.

 

-Stage 2 is comprised of all financial instruments that have had a significant increase in credit risks since initial recognition but that do not have objective evidence of a credit loss event. For Stage 2 financial instruments the impairment is recognized based on the expected losses over the expected life of the instrument arising from loss events that could occur over the expected life. The Company is required to recognize a lifetime ECL for Stage 2 financial instruments.

 

-Stage 3 is comprised of all financial instruments that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. The Company is required to recognize impairment based on a lifetime ECL for Stage 3 financial instruments. The ECL model applied to financial assets require judgment, assumptions, and estimations on changes in credit risks, forecasts of future economic conditions and historical information on the credit quality of the financial asset. Consideration of how changes in economic factors affect ECLs are determined on a probability-weighted basis.

Financial instruments – impairment (continued)

 

The carrying amount of the financial asset or group of financial assets are reduced through the use of impairment allowance accounts. In periods subsequent to the impairment where the impairment loss has decreased, and such decrease can be related objectively to conditions and changes in factors occurring after the impairment was initially recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed. The impairment reversal is limited to the lesser of the decrease in impairment or the extent that the carrying amount of the financial asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.

 

Deferred and contingent consideration

 

Prior to January 18, 2021, the Company had deferred and contingent consideration payable to the vendor of Oryx Gaming. Between December 20, 2018 and November 13, 2020 earnout payments were agreed based upon a multiple of EBITDA in financial years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2020 with a minimum amount payable in each twelve-month period. In each reporting period the present value of the deferred and contingent consideration payable was measured by discounting achieved and forecasted EBITDA by applying the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. A Black- Scholes calculation was then applied to account for probability of payout and to determine present value of payout after counter-party risk.

 

Prior to the next remeasurement period an accretion expense was recorded in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive income (loss) as the discount was unwound towards the reporting date. Upon remeasurement, any gain or loss on remeasurement was also recorded in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive income (loss).

 

On November 13, 2020, the Company entered into an amending agreement with the vendor of Oryx Gaming whereby the second payment of deferred and contingent consideration was agreed at a fixed cash value and, following shareholder agreement on November 27, 2020, could be settled in fixed amount of Common Shares. As the payment can only be settled by way of Common Shares, there is no obligation of the Company to deliver cash or cash equivalents, and the underlying fair value of the liability and number of Common Shares is fixed, the payment qualifies as an equity instrument and was recorded as shares to be issued in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity. On January 18, 2021, the agreed fixed number of Common Shares was issued from treasury to the vendor and the balance recorded in shares to be issued was transferred to the share capital account.

 

Short term employee benefits

 

Short term employee benefits include wages, salaries, compensated absences, and bonuses. Short term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognized in operating income as the related service is provided or capitalized if the service rendered is in connection with the creation of an intangible asset. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short term cash bonus plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Share based payments

 

The Company has stock option plans for directors, officers, employees, and consultants. Each tranche of an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value of each tranche is measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In addition, the Company also has deferred share unit (“DSU”), restricted share unit (“RSU”) and performance share unit (“PSU”) plans for directors, officers, employees, and consultants. The fair value of each unit is measured as the share price on date of grant with nil exercise price.

 

Compensation expense is recognized over each tranche’s vesting period, based on the number of awards expected to vest, with the offset credited to contributed surplus. The number of awards expected to vest is reviewed quarterly, with any impact being recognized immediately. When options are exercised, the amount received is credited to share capital and the fair value attributed to these options is transferred from contributed surplus to share capital. In the case of DSUs, RSUs or PSUs, only the fair value attributed to these options is transferred from contributed surplus to share capital.

 

Equity

 

Shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. Contributed surplus includes amounts in connection with conversion options embedded in compound financial instruments, share based payments and the value of expired options and warrants. Deficit includes all current and prior period income and losses.

 

Warrants

 

The Company accounts for warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at the date of issuance. If and when warrants ultimately expire, the applicable amounts are transferred to contributed surplus.

On October 27, 2020 the Company agreed to increase the size of the Offering whereby the Underwriters agreed to purchase 2,571,500 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD 18,001.

 

The Company granted the underwriters an option (the "Over-Allotment Option") to purchase up to an additional 15% of the Units of the Offering on the same terms exercisable at any time up to 30 days following the closing of the Offering. The underwriters exercised the Over-Allotment Option in full and, together with the base offering, purchased 2,957,225 Units in total for aggregate gross proceeds of EUR 13,343 (CAD 20,701). Issuance costs directly associated with raise of funds amounted to EUR 1,216 (CAD 1,887) resulting in cash proceeds, net of issuance costs, of EUR 12,127 (CAD 18,814). Closing of the Offering occurred on November 18, 2020 with net proceeds to be used for growth initiatives, working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

Each Unit consists of one Common Share and one half of one warrant (each whole warrant, a "Public Offering Warrant") of the Company. Each Public Offering Warrant entitled the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at a price equal to CAD 10.00 for a period of 36 months following the closing of the Offering (Note 7).

 

The Public Offering Warrants included an acceleration provision, exercisable at the Company's option, if the Company's daily volume weighted average share price is greater than CAD 15.00 for at least ten consecutive trading days. On January 21, 2021, the Company announced that it elected to exercise its right under the terms of the warrant indenture to accelerate the expiry date of the warrants. Accordingly, the Company gave notice to all registered warrant holders that the expiry date for the Warrants was accelerated to February 22, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, all such warrants have been exercised or have expired.

 

In addition to the Units, the Company granted 177,434 broker warrants (“Broker Warrants”), each convertible to one Common Share and half of one Public Offering Warrant at a price equal to CAD 7.00 (Note 7).

16FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

 

As a result of holding and issuing financial instruments, the Company is exposed to certain risks. The following is a description of those risks and how the exposures are managed.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is unable to generate or obtain sufficient cash and cash equivalents in a cost-effective manner to fund its obligations as they come due. The Company will experience liquidity risks if it fails to maintain appropriate levels of cash and cash equivalents, is unable to access sources of funding or fails to appropriately diversify sources of funding. If any of these events were to occur, they could adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.

 

The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place by which it anticipates and determines the funds required to support its normal operating requirements. The Company coordinates this planning and budgeting process with its financing activities through its capital management process. The Company holds sufficient cash and cash equivalents and working capital, maintained through stringent cash flow management, to ensure sufficient liquidity is maintained. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

 

The following are the undiscounted contractual maturities of significant financial liabilities and the total contractual obligations of the Company as at March 31, 2021:

 

   2021   2022   2023   2024   Thereafter   Total 
Trade payables and other liabilities   16,890    -    -    -    -    16,890 
Lease obligations on right of use assets   118    157    157    157    157    746 
    17,008    157    157    157    157    17,636 

 

Foreign currency exchange risk

 

The Company’s financial statements are presented in EUR, however a portion of the Company’s net assets and operations are denominated in other currencies, particularly the Canadian dollar. Such net assets are translated into EUR at the foreign currency exchange rate in effect at the reporting date, and operations at the foreign currency exchange rates that approximate the rates in effect at the dates when such items are recognized. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign currency translation gains and losses, which are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

The Company is also exposed to risk on transaction in currencies other than its functional currency resulting in realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and loss which are recorded in other operational costs. The Company estimates that an appreciation of the EUR of 10% relative to other currencies would result in a decrease of EUR 355 in earnings before income taxes while a depreciating EUR will have the opposite impact.

 

The Company has no derivative instruments in the form of futures contracts and forward contracts to manage its current and anticipated exposure to fluctuations in EUR exchange rates.

16FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

 

Credit risk

The Company is exposed to credit risk resulting from the possibility that counterparties could default on their financial obligations to the Company including cash and cash equivalents, other assets and accounts receivable. Failure to manage credit risk could adversely affect the financial performance of the Company.

 

The risk related to cash and cash equivalents is reduced by policies and guidelines that require that the Company enters into transactions only with counterparties or issuers that have a minimum long term “BBB” credit rating from a recognized credit rating agency. The Company mitigates the risk of credit loss relating to accounts receivable by evaluating the creditworthiness of new customers and establishes a provision for expected credit losses. The Company applies the simplified approach to provide for expected credit losses as prescribed by IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all accounts receivable. The expected credit loss provision is based on the Company’s historical collections and loss experience and incorporates forward-looking factors, where appropriate.

 

The provision matrix below shows the expected credit loss rate for each aging category of accounts receivable as at March 31, 2021:

 

            Aging (months)          
   Note   <1   1 - 3   >3   Total 
Gross accounts receivable   12    8,007    763    1,656    10,426 
Expected loss rate        3.60%   40.63%   85.81%   19.37%
Expected Loss Provision   12    288    310    1,421    2,019 

 

The provision matrix below shows the expected credit loss rate for each aging category of accounts receivable as at December 31, 2020:

 

            Aging (months)        
   Note   <1   1 - 3   >3   Total 

Gross accounts receivable

Expected Loss Provision   12    431    177    1,147    1,755 

 

Gross accounts receivable includes the balance of accrued income within the aging category of less than one month.

Concentration risk

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, two customers (three months ended March 31, 2020: two customers) contributed more than 10% each to the Company’s revenues. Aggregate revenues from these customers totalled EUR 4,175 (three months ended March 31, 2020: EUR 2,032).

 

As at March 31, 2021, one customer (December 31, 2020: one customer) constituted more than 10% each to the Company’s accounts receivable. The balance owed by this customer totalled EUR 1,069 (December 31, 2020: EUR 1,247). The Company continues to expand its customer base to reduce the concentration risk.
