EXPLANATORY NOTE

(the “Corporation”) is filing this amended and restated business acquisition report (the “A&R BAR”) solely to (i) replace Schedule “A” to the Corporation’s business acquisition report, dated October 15, 2014 (the “BAR”), with the re-audited consolidated financial statements of Oldford Group Limited (now known as Amaya Group Holdings (IOM) Limited) (“Oldford”) as at and for the year ended December 31, 2013, including the report thereon of Dannible & McKee, LLP, Syracuse, New York (the “Re-Audited 2013 Financial Statements”) and (ii) make certain other applicable changes to update the information provided in the BAR, including in Items 1.1, 2.1, 2.4 and 2.7 and the section titled “Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. The Re-Audited 2013 Financial Statements include the following changes to the audited consolidated financial statements of Oldford as at and for the year ended December 31, 2013, which were previously included as Schedule “A” to the BAR and audited by Haines Watts London LLP, London, England: (i) updating the list of directors and advisors; (ii) replacing the “Report of the Board of Directors” and the “Independent Auditor’s Report to the Shareholders of Oldford Group Limited” with the “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” by Dannible & McKee, LLP; (iii) noting the 2012 comparative data as unaudited and making conforming changes to the related notes; (iv) removing all unconsolidated data and making conforming changes to the related notes; (v) adding basic and diluted earnings per share data for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and adding Note 34 “Earnings per share” relating thereto; (vi) adding clause (iii) to Note 6 “Significant accounting policies” under the heading “Foreign operations”; and (vii) adding Note 38 “Subsequent events”.

The other financial statements, including all pro-forma statements, appended to the BAR as Schedules “B” and “C”, and all other information contained in the BAR, remains entirely unmodified, regardless of events that may have occurred subsequent to the initial filing date of the BAR.

AMENDED AND RESTATED BUSINESS ACQUISITION REPORT

 

Item 1. Identity of Company

 

1.1 Name and Address of Company

Amaya Inc. (the “Corporation”)

7600 Trans Canada Hwy

Pointe-Claire, Québec H9R 1C8

 

1.2 Executive Officer

For further information, please contact Daniel Sebag, Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, at 514-744-3122.

 

Item 2. Details of Acquisition

 

2.1 Nature of Business Acquired

On August 1, 2014, the Corporation, through a wholly-owned subsidiary Amaya Holdings B.V. (“AcquireCo”), acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of privately held Oldford Group Limited (now known as Amaya Group Holdings (IOM) Limited) (“Oldford Group”), the parent company of Rational Group Ltd. (“Rational Group”), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately US$4.9 billion, which includes a deferred payment (the “Purchase Price”) (the “Acquisition”).

Oldford Group, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Rational Group, operates gaming and related businesses and brands including PokerStars, Full Tilt, the European Poker Tour, PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, Latin American Poker Tour and the Asia Pacific Poker Tour. In addition to operating two of the largest online poker sites, the group is the largest producer of live poker events in the world.

For more information concerning the Acquisition, please refer to the Corporation’s annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “AIF”), available under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

 

2.2 Date of Acquisition

August 1, 2014 (the “Closing Date”).

 

2.3 Consideration

On the Closing Date, cash consideration of US$4.5 billion (the “Upfront Purchase Price”) was paid to the shareholders, optionholders and certain other participating equityholders of Oldford Group (collectively, the “Sellers”) pursuant to the terms of the deed and scheme of merger agreement entered into on June 12, 2014 by the Corporation with AcquireCo, Titan IOM Mergerco Ltd., Oldford Group and the Sellers (the “Deed”). The Deed also provides for a deferred payment of US$400 million, which shall be subject to adjustment based upon the occurrence of certain events, payable to the Sellers within thirty (30) months of the Closing Date. There is no interest on the deferred payment.

The Upfront Purchase Price and fees and expenses relating to the Acquisition that were paid by closing of the Acquisition were financed through a combination of cash on hand, new debt, a private placement of


subscription receipts, a private placement of common shares and a private placement of non-voting convertible preferred shares, allocated as follows: (i) US$1.05 billion of convertible preferred shares, (ii) C$640 million of subscription receipts at C$20 per subscription receipt which were automatically converted into common shares on a one-to-one basis upon closing of the Acquisition, (iii) US$55 million of common shares subscribed at C$20 per common share, (iv) senior secured credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of approximately US$2.92 billion, and (v) cash on hand in the amount of US$213 million.

 

2.4 Effect on Financial Position

Upon closing of the Acquisition, Oldford Group’s CEO, founders and shareholders and certain other principals resigned from all positions with Oldford Group. However, the other primary executive officers including the CFO and COO and other members of the management team were retained upon closing to continue leading the business. No other material changes occurred upon closing within the corporate structure, management or personnel of Oldford Group as there was minimal overlap between the Corporation’s business-to-business operations and Oldford Group’s business-to-consumer operations.

The Acquisition provides opportunities for geographic growth as Oldford Group generated no revenue in the United States. As jurisdictions within the United States become regulated, the Corporation, which has numerous licenses in the United States, anticipates its ownership will have the potential to accelerate the entry of PokerStars and Full Tilt into these newly regulated markets.

The acquired business has historically required a relatively low amount of capital expenditure and working capital and Oldford Group’s base in the Isle of Man results in a low corporate tax rate, which should not be affected by the acquisition structure. The Corporation expects that the balance sheet will continue to deleverage over the 18 to 30 months following the Closing Date due to the cash generation profile of the combined company, paired with projected growth.

For additional details of the effect of the Acquisition on the Corporation’s financial position and results of operations, see the financial statements referred to under “Item 3 – Financial Statements” of this business acquisition report.

 

2.5 Prior Valuations

None.

 

2.6 Parties to Transaction

The Acquisition was not with an informed person, associate or affiliate of the Corporation.

 

2.7 Date of Report

October 15, 2014, as amended and restated July 27, 2015.

The following financial statements are appended hereto and form an integral part of this business acquisition report:

 

(a) audited consolidated financial statements of Oldford Group as at and for the year ended December 31, 2013, together with the notes thereto (appended hereto as Schedule “A”);

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Corporation’s public communications often include oral or written forward-looking statements. Statements of this type are included in this business acquisition report and may be included in other filings with securities regulators or in other communications. All such statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of the words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “project”, “predict”, “potential”, “targeting”, “intend”, “foresee”, “could”, “goal”, “strive”, “might”, “would”, “should”, “believe”, “objective”, “ongoing” or the negative of these words or other variations or synonyms of these words or comparable terminology and similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements reflect current estimates, beliefs and assumptions, which are based on the Corporation’s perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors management believes are appropriate in the circumstances. The Corporation’s estimates, beliefs and assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and other uncertainties and contingencies regarding future events and as such, are subject to change. The Corporation can give no assurance that such estimates, beliefs and assumptions will prove to be correct. This business acquisition report contains forward-looking statements concerning, in particular, the combined company’s financial position, cash flow and growth prospects, certain strategic benefits and operational benefits, and the Corporation’s and Oldford Group’s anticipated future results. The pro forma information appended hereto should not be considered to be what the actual financial position or other results of operations would have necessarily been had the Corporation and Oldford Group operated as a single combined company as, at, or for the periods stated.

Numerous risks and uncertainties could cause the combined company’s actual results to differ materially from the estimates, beliefs and assumptions expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the heavily regulated industry in which the Corporation carries on business; interactive entertainment and online and mobile gaming generally; current and future laws or regulations and new interpretations of existing laws or regulations with respect to online and mobile gaming; potential changes to the gaming regulatory scheme; legal and regulatory requirements; ability to obtain, maintain and comply with all applicable and required licenses, permits and certifications to distribute and market its products and services, including difficulties or delays in the same; significant barriers to entry; competition and the competitive environment within the Corporation’s addressable markets and industries; impact of inability to complete future acquisitions or to integrate businesses successfully; ability to develop and enhance existing products and services and new commercially viable products and

services; ability to mitigate foreign exchange and currency risks; risks of foreign operations generally; protection of proprietary technology and intellectual property rights; lengthy and variable sales cycle; ability to recruit and retain management and other qualified personnel, including key technical, sales and marketing personnel; defects in the Corporation’s products or services; losses due to fraudulent activities; management of growth; contract awards; potential financial opportunities in addressable markets and with respect to individual contracts; ability of technology infrastructure to meet applicable demand; systems, networks, telecommunications or service disruptions or failures or cyber-attacks; regulations and laws that may be adopted with respect to the Internet and electronic commerce and that may otherwise impact the Corporation in the jurisdictions where it is currently doing business or intends to do business; ability to obtain additional financing on reasonable terms or at all; refinancing risks; customer and operator preferences and changes in the economy; dependency on customers’ acceptance of its products and services; changes in ownership of customers or consolidation within the gaming industry; litigation costs and outcomes; expansion within existing and into new markets; relationships with vendors and distributors; and, natural events. For additional information, please refer to the “Risk Factors and Uncertainties” sections in the AIF and in the Corporation’s management’s discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2015, each as filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and in other filings that the Corporation has made and may make in the future with applicable securities authorities.

Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based might change. The Corporation cautions that the foregoing list of significant risk factors is not exhaustive. The forward-looking statements contained in this business acquisition report are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Unless otherwise indicated by the Corporation, forward-looking statements in this business acquisition report describe the Corporation’s expectations as of the date of this report and, accordingly, are subject to change after such date. The Corporation does not undertake to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on its behalf, except as required by law.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Amaya Group Holdings (IOM) Ltd. (formerly known as Oldford Group Limited) (the “Company”)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with International Financial Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended were not audited by us and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion on them.

1 General

Oldford Group Limited (now known as Amaya Group Holdings (IOM) Limited) (the “Company”) is primarily involved as a provider of online poker. The Company’s head office is at Douglas Bay Complex, Kind Edward Road, Onchan, Isle of Man. These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its principle subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”). The list of subsidiaries can be found in note 19.

 

2 Basis of preparation

The financial statements for the Group have been prepared in accordance with applicable International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), interpretations and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRSs.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of the each reporting period, as explained in the significant accounting polices below.

 

3 Functional and presentation currency

The individual financial statements of each Group entity are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency.

All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.

 

4 Use of judgements and estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements necessitates the use of estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Although the estimates are based on management’s knowledge and best judgement information and financial data, the actual outcome may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis.

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made judgements, assumptions and estimates of information and financial data that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements in the following notes:

 

    Note 7—dormant accounts: regarding player accounts remaining inactive after the positive balances in dormant accounts have been recognised as revenue;

 

    Notes 15 and 17—depreciation and amortisation: regarding the assessment of and changes in useful lives and residual values;

 

    Notes 16 and 19—impairment test: regarding the key assumptions underlying recoverable amounts;

 

    Notes 19 and 31—consolidation: whether the Group has control over an investee with non-controlling interests;

4 Use of judgements and estimates (continued)

 

    Notes 19, 20 and 35—fair value measurements: regarding the measurement of fair values for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities; and

 

    Notes 19 and 20—available-for-sale investments: regarding classification of financial assets as available-for-sale and the current/non-current split of these financial assets.

 

    Note 28—short-term provisions: regarding the measurement of provisions including the key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources.

 

5 Application of new and revised IFRSs

New and revised IFRSs affecting amounts reported and/or disclosed in the financial statements

In the current year, the Group has applied the following new and revised IFRSs that are mandatorily effective for accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2013:

 

  (a) Amendments to IFRS 7 Disclosures—Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The amendments to IFRS 7 require entities to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral posting requirements) for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting agreement or similar arrangement.

As the Group does not have any significant offsetting arrangements in place, the application of the amendments has had no material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

 

  (b) New and revised Standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures

In May 2011, a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued comprising IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities, IAS 27 (revised 2011) Separate Financial Statements and IAS 28 (revised 2011) Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures. Subsequent to the issue of these standards, amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 were issued to clarify certain transitional guidance on the first-time application of the standards.

The impact of the application of these standards is set out below:

Impact of the application of IFRS 10

IFRS 10 changes the definition of control such that an investor has control over an investee when a) it has power over the investee, b) it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and c) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. All three of these criteria must be met for an investor to have control over an investee. Previously, control was defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Notes forming part of the consolidated financial statements for the years ended 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2012 (unaudited) (continued)

 

5 Application of new and revised IFRSs (continued)

 

  (b) New and revised Standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures (continued)

 

Impact of the application of IFRS 10 (continued)

 

In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 10, the Group reassessed the control conclusion for its investees at 1 January 2013 and concluded that there are no changes to control the Group has over its investee. All subsidiaries which were previously consolidated will be continued to be treated as a subsidiary and consolidated with Group results.

Impact of the application of IFRS 11

IFRS 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be classified and accounted for. Under IFRS 11, there are only two type of joint arrangements – joint operations and joint ventures. The classification of joint arrangements under IFRS 11 is determined based on the rights and obligations of parties to the joint arrangements by considering the structure, the legal form of the arrangements, the contractual terms agreed by the parties to the arrangement, and when relevant, other facts and circumstances. Previously IAS 31 contemplated three types of arrangements – jointly controlled entities, jointly controlled operations and jointly controlled assets. The classification of joint arrangements under IAS 31 was primarily determined based on the legal form of the arrangement.

In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 11, the Group has reassessed the arrangements it has with third parties and concluded that there are no joint arrangements in place. This is consistent with the Group’s assessment in prior year.

Impact of the application of IFRS 12

IFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entitles that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structure entities.

As a result of IFRS 12, the Group has mainly expanded its disclosures about its interests in subsidiaries (see notes 19 and 31).

Impact of the application of IAS 27 (revised 2011)

IAS 27 (revised 2011) now only deals with the requirements for separate financial statements. Previously IAS 27 also dealt with the requirements for consolidated financial statements which are now dealt with in IFRS 10. The standard requires that when an entity prepares separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries, associates, and jointly controlled entitles are accounted for either at cost, or in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

There is no impact to the Group as a result of application of IAS 27 (revised 2011) as its accounting policies in relation to subsidiaries remain unchanged and are being accounted for at cost.

Impact of the application of IAS 28 (revised 2011)

IAS 28 (revised 2011) supersedes IAS 28 Investment in Associates and prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures.

5 Application of new and revised IFRSs (continued)

 

  (b) New and revised Standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures (continued)

 

Impact of the application of IAS 28 (revised 2011) (continued)

 

The Group does not have any investments in associates and has also established that there are no joint arrangements in place. As a result the application of IAS 28 (revised 2011) has no impact on the Group.

 

  (c) IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurements

IFRS 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about fair value measurements when such measurements are required or permitted by other IFRSs. It unifies the definition of fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It replaces and expands the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements in other IFRSs, including IFRS 7.

As a result of IFRS 13, the Group has included additional disclosures in this regard (see notes 19 and 35). In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 13, the Group has applied the new fair value measurement guidance prospectively and has not provided any comparative information for new disclosures. Notwithstanding the above, the change had no significant impact on the measurements of the Group’s assets and liabilities.

 

  (d) Amendment to IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income

As a result of the amendments to IAS 1, the Group has modified the presentation of Items of OCI in its statement of profit or loss and OCI, to present separately items that would be reclassified to profit or loss from those that would never be. Comparative Information has been re-presented accordingly.

 

  (e) Amendment to IAS 19 Employee Benefits (revised 2011)

IAS 19 (revised 2011) changes the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits.

The Group does not have any defined benefit plans and significant termination benefits. As a result the application of IAS 19 (revised 2011) has no impact on the Group.

New and revised IFRSs in Issue but not yet effective

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, there were a number of standards and interpretations that have not been applied in these financial statements, which were in issue but not yet effective. In future periods the following are expected to have an impact on the financial statements:

IFRS 9 — Financial Instruments (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015).

Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27—Investment Entities (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014).

Amendments to IAS 32—Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014).

6 Significant accounting policies

The Group has applied following principal accounting policies in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Company a) has power over the investee; b) is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and c) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of controls listed above.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition (i.e. the date on which control of the subsidiary effectively commences) to the date of disposal (i.e. the date on which control over the subsidiary effectively ceases). Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Business combinations and related goodwill

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Acquisition related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.

The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is capitalised as goodwill. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Goodwill is not amortised but tested for impairment at least annually and upon the occurrence of an indication of impairment. The impairment testing process is described in the appropriate section of these policies.

On disposal of a subsidiary, associate or jointly controlled entity, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

6 Significant accounting policies (continued)

 

Non-controlling interests (“NCI”)

NCI are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets from acquisition date.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and NCI are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the NCI are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (I) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (II) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any NCI. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.

Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions

In preparing the financial statements of the individual group entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are translated at the spot foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of monetary assets and liabilities are recognised immediately in the profit or loss.

Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Foreign operations

The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

 

  (i) assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement;

 

  (ii) income and expenses for each income statement are translated at spot exchange rates (unless this spot is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and

6 Significant accounting policies (continued)

  (iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognised in statement of comprehensive income and accumulated in the translation reserve, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to NCI.

When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. If the Group disposes of part of its interest in a subsidiary but retains control, then the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to NCI.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration derived. Revenue is only recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.

Internet gaming and tournament fees

Revenue from internet gaming is recognised in the accounting periods in which the gaming transactions occur. Revenue is recognised with reference to the underlying arrangements and agreements with the players.

Player deposit fees and conversion margins

Revenue from customer cross currency deposits and withdrawals is recognised when the transaction is complete. Revenue is recognised with reference to the underlying arrangements and agreements with the players.

Interest and investment income

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, with reference to the principal amount and the applicable effective interest rate. Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

Rental income

Refer to accounting policy notes on leased assets below.

Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits (which also include payroll costs) are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group 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.

Defined contribution plan

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

Share-based payment transactions

The Group has applied the requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based payments. The Group issues equity settled share-based payments to certain employees.

Equity settled share based payments are measured at fair value at the date of the grant. Fair value is measured by use of a suitable pricing model. The grant-date fair value of equity settled share-based payment granted to employees is generally recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards factoring in any vesting conditions.

Dividends payable

Dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. In the case of interim dividends to equity shareholders, this is when declared by the directors and paid to the shareholders. In the case of final dividends, this is when approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.

Current tax

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computations of taxable profits.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each year end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax (continued)

 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the year-end date.

Property, plant and equipment

Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss at the date of disposal.

Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual values, of property, plant and equipment (except land), using the straight-line method over their expected useful lives. Land is not depreciated.

It is calculated at the following rates:

 

Freehold Property

   4% per annum

IT Equipment, Servers and Software

   33% per annum

Office Furniture and Equipment

   20% per annum

Office Alterations

   20% per annum

Motor Vehicles

   20% per annum

Event and Poker Room

   20% per annum

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted as appropriate.

Intangible assets

Recognition and measurement

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately from a business are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are capitalised separately from goodwill if the fair value can be measured reliably on initial recognition (which is regarded as its cost). Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an intangible asset is recognised in profit or loss at the date of disposal.

Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific assets to which it relates.

Amortisation

Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual values, of intangible assets, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

It is calculated at the following rates:

 

Customer lists

   50% per annum

Domain names

   50% per annum

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted as appropriate.

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

At each year end date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.

Leased assets

All of the Group leasing arrangements are considered to be operating leases.

The Group as lessee

Rentals payable are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are also spread on a straight line basis over the lease term.

The Group as lessor

Rental income is credited to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of each reporting period.

Investments in unquoted equity investments

Investments in unquoted equity investments are stated at cost (or fair value) less any identified impairment losses at the end of each reporting period.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less costs necessary to make the sale.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are stated at their amortised cost less impairment losses and doubtful accounts.

Short-term deposits

Short-term deposits comprise deposits held at call with banks with maturities of more than three months.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash in hand, deposits held on call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. They include unrestricted short-term bank deposits originally purchased with maturities of three months or less.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are not interest bearing and are stated at their nominal value.

Client liabilities

Client liabilities are amounts deposited by players and are stated at their nominal value.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

Where time value is long term and material, the amount of the related provision is calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects market assessments of the time value of money and, any risks specific to the liability.

Financial instruments

Recognition, derecognition and offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Group derecognises financial assets when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over the transferred asset. The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Measurement

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other financial liabilities. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and financial liabilities and is determined at the time of initial recognition.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and changes therein, are recognised in profit or loss.

Financial instruments (continued)

 

Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity dates that the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. These assets are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. These assets are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment.

Available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets

AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as AFS or are not classified as (a) loans and receivables, (b) held-to-maturity investments or (c) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. These assets are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein, other than impairment losses are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the fair value reserve. When these assets are derecognised, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.

AFS equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of each reporting period.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

A financial liability is classified as at fair value through profit or loss if it is classified as held-for-trading or is designated as such on initial recognition. Directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and changes therein, are recognised in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities are non-derivative financial liabilities initially recognised at fair values less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Impairment of non-derivative financial assets

Non-derivative financial assets not classified as fair value through profit or loss, including an interest in an equity-accounted investee, are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment.

Financial assets measured at amortised cost

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the Group considers evidence of impairment for these assets at both an individual asset and a collective level. All individually significant assets are individually assessed for impairment. Those found not to be impaired are then collectively assessed for impairment by grouping together assets with similar risk characteristics. In assessing collective impairment, the Group uses historical information on the timing of recovering and the amount of loss incurred, and makes an adjustment if current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or lesser than suggested by historical trends.

An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account. When the Group considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written off.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Impairment losses on available-for-sale financial assets are recognised by reclassifying the losses accumulated in the fair value reserve to profit or loss. The amount reclassified is the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortisation) and the current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss.

 

7 Dormant accounts

The Group introduced a dormant account (i.e. player account which has been inactive for a period of twelve months consecutively) policy during the year after obtaining approval from the Regulators. Positive balances in dormant accounts recognised as revenue totalled $42,053k during the year. Although this is a change in accounting policy, it was not considered to be so significant that a prior year adjustment was required. Had the policy been applied retrospectively, the amounts recognised in revenue in earlier years would have totalled $22,426k.

The goodwill at year end primarily relates to a poker room licence held by one of the Group’s subsidiary companies. In accordance with IAS 36 and the Group’s stated accounting policy, an annual impairment review was carried out by comparing the carrying amount of goodwill against the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount was based on fair value less cost of disposal of the poker room licence (as this was considered to be significantly higher than value in use). The fair value was estimated with reference to current replacement cost i.e. costs that would be incurred in obtaining this licence from the relevant authority. The carrying amount was adjusted at year end accordingly.

     5   UK    Operator of land based casino

Stack Evantos Esportivos SA

     10   Brazil    Operator of the brand
“Brazilian Series of Poker”

Gambling Management SA

     5   Belgium    Operator of land based casino

Acquisitions

On 15 May 2013 the Group invested further 2.5% in Gambling Management SA, thus increasing its total share holdings from 2.5% to 5%.

Due to economic crisis in the Eurozone, the Bank of Cyprus was bailed-in in accordance with the Bailing-in of Bank of Cyprus Public Company Limited Decree of 2013 whereby affected customer deposits were converted into Bank of Cyprus Class A shares at a nominal value of EUR 1 per share. The Group was also affected by this bailing-in as a result of holding deposit balances with the bank and was issued 2,764,854 shares at EUR 1,00 each (USD equivalent: 3,555,878). The shares in Bank of Cyprus were suspended for trading as a result of the bailing-in. These investments are currently being carried at their nominal value of EUR 1.00 per share.

Investment provisions

A full provision has been made against Bank of Cyprus investments due to significant uncertainty regarding the value of these investments. The bank is currently undergoing a restructuring exercise and the shares remain suspended. As a result it is not possible for the Group to measure the fair value of the Class A shares reliably.

33 Share-based payments

The Group has a share-based bonus scheme and nil-cost share options for certain individuals within the Group. The award of shares is entirely at the discretion of the directors. The shares are awarded as bonuses for services rendered or as a sign-on incentive.

The shares and nil-cost share options awarded during the year have been measured at fair value and an appropriate amount has been recognised in the results for the year. The fair value has been calculated using a projected earnings basis taking into account the company’s dividend policy and agreed with relevant tax authorities.

1.75M nil cost options were awarded to employees of the Group during the year. The accounting cost to the company would be based on the value of the nil cost option spread over the five year life of the option.

As a result of the number of shares and share options awarded during the year, and the fair value of the company, a total expense of $1,587k (2012 unaudited: $803k) has been recognised in the profit and loss account.

35 Financial risk management (continued)

 

The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

 

    Credit risk;

 

    Liquidity risk; and

 

    Market risk.

Risk management framework

The Board of Directors have overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument falls to meet its contractual obligations. The Group’s principal financial assets that are subject to credit risk are long-term receivables, available-for-sale investments, trade and other receivables (excluding deferred tax and prepayments), short-term deposits and cash and cash equivalents.

The carrying amount of these financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure.

Trade and other receivables

The Group’s credit risk relating to trade and other receivables is primarily attributable to receivables from payment service providers and from customers, who chargeback deposits made, after playing on the Group’s website.

The Group closely monitors the credit quality, financial health and operational economic environment of the payment service providers, where possible, to ensure that it is only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. This information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the Group uses other publicly available financial information and its own trading history to rate its major payment service providers.

The risk arising from customers consist of a large number of customers spread across diverse industries and geographical areas i.e. limited concentration risk. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable and, where appropriate, appropriate credit provisions are made or third parties appointed to collect the debt on behalf of the Group.

35 Financial risk management (continued)

 

Long term receivables

The Board analyses the credit risk for each of the new long term receivables before advancing funds. The financial health and its operating and financial performance are then regularly reviewed and monitored by the Board.

Available-for-sale investments

The Group has adopted a policy on available-for-sale investments whereby investments are allowed only in assets which are tolerant and within the parameters agreed between the Group’s treasury and investment managers. The placements are made via counter parties that have a credit rating equal to or better than the Group.

Short-term deposits and cash and cash equivalents

The Group has adopted a policy on short-term deposits and cash and cash equivalents whereby placements are allowed only in liquid securities and with counterparties that have a credit rating equal to or better than the Group.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

The Group’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group aims to maintain the level of its available-for-sale investments, short-term deposits and cash and cash equivalents at an amount in excess of expected cash outflows on financial liabilities. The Group also forecasts cash flows by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts presented are undiscounted.

Capital management

The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Management monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

The capital structure of the Group consists mainly of equity of the Group (comprising issued capital, reserves, retained earnings and non-controlling interests per notes 29, 30 and 31). The Group does not have any significant external debt or borrowings.

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed share capital requirements.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The Group’s exposure mainly relates to foreign currency balances and fair market value of its unquoted equity investments. Interest rate risk is not considered to be significant to the Group and as a result no further analysis regarding this has been presented below.

Foreign currency risk

The Group’s financial risk arising from exchange rate fluctuations is mainly attributed to:

 

    Mismatch between balance sheet liabilities to customers which is predominantly denominated in US Dollars (USD) and the net receipts from customers which are settled in the currency of the customer’s choice, of which Euros (EUR) and Sterling (GBP) are significant.

 

    Mismatch between reported revenue which is mainly generated in USD (the Group’s functional and reporting currency) and significant portion of deposits which are settled in local currencies.

 

    Expenses, the majority of which are denominated in foreign currencies including Euros (EUR) and Sterling (GBP).

35 Financial risk management (continued)

 

The Group continually monitor the foreign currency risks and takes steps, where practical, to ensure that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level. Foreign currencies are bought or sold at spot rates when necessary to address the short-term imbalances.

Fair value measurements

This note provides information about how the Group determines fair values of various financial assets and financial liabilities and how it manages the risks arising due to changes to market price (or fair values) of financial assets and financial liabilities.

Fair value measurements (continued)

 

In accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurements when measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as practically possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs in the valuation techniques as follows:

 

    Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

    Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as a prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

 

    Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Fair value of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The Group’s unquoted equity investments are categorised as available-for-sale financial assets and as a result are measured at fair value (both at initial recognition and subsequent measurement). The fair value of these unquoted equity investments, hierarchy level, valuation techniques and inputs used can be noted as follows:

 

Fair value disclosures:   
Fair value at 31 December 2013:    $9,461k (2012 unaudited: $8,641k)
Fair value hierarchy:    Level 3;
Valuation technique used:    Given the unique nature of the investees’ business, there are no readily available market data as these types of investments are generally structured through private companies and confidential. As a result the Group has adopted income approach for valuing these investments, taking into account current and expected income from the investees over long-term.
Significant unobservable inputs:    Long-term revenue growth rates and pre-tax operating margins taking into account management’s experience and knowledge of market conditions of the specific industries.
Relationship of unobservable inputs to fair value:    The higher the revenue growth rates and pre-tax operating margins, the higher the fair value and vice versa.

35 Financial risk management (continued)

 

The Group has classified certain financial assets as available-for-sale investments (see note 20) and as a result are measured at fair value (both at initial recognition and subsequent measurement). The fair value of these available-for-sale investments, hierarchy level, valuation techniques and inputs used can be noted as follows:

 

Fair value at 31 December 2013:    $211,946k (2012 unaudited: Nil)
Fair value hierarchy:    Level 1;
Valuation technique used:    Quoted prices in an active market.
Significant unobservable inputs:    N/A
Relationship of unobservable inputs to fair value:    N/A

The fair value movements of unquoted equity investments from 2012 (unaudited) to 2013 were insignificant. As a result separate reconciliation of Level 3 fair values has not been presented.

Fair value of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (but fair value disclosures are required)

The fair value of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis reasonably approximate the carrying amounts currently disclosed on the respective notes in these consolidated financial statements. As a result no further fair value disclosures were considered necessary by the Group.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 during the year.

Fair value risk management

The Group is exposed to equity price risk on its unquoted equity securities. Management monitors the performance of its investees on a regular basis by reviewing periodic financial and operational information of the investees to ensure that fair value of its investments are being sustained and investment returns are being generated in the long-term. All buy and sell decisions are discussed and approved by the Board.
