“The first half of 2016 has necessarily continued the period of investment for GAN in acquiring US market share for both Simulated Gaming™ and real money Regulated Gaming, and continuous improvements in the product offering. The performance is in line with management expectations.
We have continued to focus on building a substantial recurring revenue base to offset this investment and achieve future profitability. In particular, Simulated GamingTM revenues have grown substantially year on year driven by new client launches and phasing in of marketing investment by existing clients of Simulated Gaming™. In addition, we have seen encouraging growth in sustainable market revenues in both New Jersey and Italy. The rapid growth in Simulated GamingTM revenues is particularly important as we believe over time they will substantially compensate for the slower than expected pace of the development of real-money Internet gaming in the US. We remain encouraged by the growth characteristics of Simulated GamingTM and have already seen a major uplift in player activity as we begin to experience the onset of the seasonally strong Autumn/Fall period and the commencement of scale acquisition marketing for selected casino clients.
In addition we have experienced further growth in our sustainable real money gaming markets both in New Jersey in the US and in Italy in our European market. New Jersey out-performed growth expectations due to underlying improvements in the New Jersey market’s payment processing infrastructure. This growth is expected to continue for the rest of the year.
As the numbers illustrate our investment in the business continues. Our financial results continue to be impacted by factors outside of our control including delays in further intra-State regulation of real money Internet gaming together with continued delays in securing additional system sales on commercially attractive terms. Growth prospects for Simulated Gaming™ and real money Regulated Gaming in New Jersey continue to offer the Company a viable path to sustained profitability and significant incremental shareholder value.”

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Summary
Gross income of £15.9m for the six months ended 30 June 2016 represents an increase of £2.8m compared to the period ended 30 June 2015. Net revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2016 was £3.9m compared to £2.9m for the six months ended 30 June 2015. Clean EBITDA loss of £0.5m was £1.0m less than prior year period clean EBITDA loss of £1.5m. Loss before and after taxation of £2.3m for the current period compared to a loss before and after taxation of £2.6m in the comparative period.
The Group continues to focus on building a substantial recurring revenue base while maintaining tight control over the underlying cost base of the business. Revenues from both Simulated GamingTM in the US market and real money Regulated Gaming in the sustainable markets of Italy and New Jersey have shown material growth. In addition, platform development revenues have increased significantly, principally due to new customer development fees in advance of commercial launch. The Group continues to invest heavily in the underlying Internet Gaming System and product offering to meet the ongoing market demand and to ensure that it continues to be in position to capitalise on the immediate Simulated GamingTM opportunity in the US market.
On 7th April 2016, the Group successfully completed a share placing issuing 9,331,888 new shares at 28p per share which raised gross proceeds of £2.6m. On 13th July 2016 the Group placed an additional 1,500,000 new shares at 30p per share which raised gross proceeds of £0.5m and on 24th August 2016 the Group placed a further 3,250,000 new shares at 40p per share which generated gross proceeds of £1.3m.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period was £4.0m compared to £7.6m at 30 June 2015 and £3.8m for the year ended 31 December 2015. Net Assets at 30 June 2016 of £10.5m compared to £12.6m at 30 June 2015 and £10.2m for the year ended 31 December 2015.
Revenue
Gross income of £15.9m is £2.8m higher than recorded in the six months ended 30 June 2015 representing an increase of 21% in 2016. Net revenue for the period of £3.9m is £1.0m higher than the comparative six month period with increases in both B2B revenue streams. B2B net revenue of £3.7m is £1.0m, 37% higher than the comparative period while B2C net revenue of £0.2m is consistent with the prior year period.
The Group categorises B2B net revenue into two distinct revenue streams; revenue share and other revenue (recurring in nature) and game and platform development (one time and primarily non-recurring in nature). Recurring revenues are principally generated in the sustainable real money gaming markets of Italy in Europe and New Jersey in the US and by Simulated GamingTM markets in the US and Australia. B2B recurring revenues have increased by 34% from £2.0m in the prior year comparative period to £2.7m for the six months ended June 30 2016 and account for 68% of overall Group net revenue. This growth has been due to increases in both Simulated GamingTM and real money gaming revenues from Italian and US markets. Game and platform development revenue has also increased to £1.0m compared to £0.7m in the first half of 2015 as a result of increased new customer development fees.
Expenses
Distribution costs include royalties payable to third parties, B2B and B2C direct marketing expenditure, the direct costs of operating the hardware platforms deployed across the business, and depreciation and amortisation, which in total have increased from £2.4m in the prior year comparative period to £3.4m for the six months ended 30 June 2016. The increase is due primarily to increased amortisation of intangible assets of £1.4m (2015: £0.7m) as a result of our substantial investment in product and system development and increased royalties payable to providers of third party games content in Italy for real money gaming and in the US as a result of significantly increased Simulated GamingTM revenues. Expenditure on B2B marketing has reduced as the Group has benefited from the prior period investment increasing awareness of GAN and the Simulated GamingTM product in the US market.
Administration expenses include the costs of personnel and related expenditure for both the London and Nevada offices. Total administrative expenses have decreased from £3.1m in the prior year comparative period to £2.8m for the six months ended 30 June 2016, primarily due to the favourable impact of foreign exchange movements.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (Continued)
EBITDA
Clean EBITDA is a non GAAP company specific measure and excludes interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, share based payment expense and other items which the directors consider to be non-recurring and one time in nature. The directors regard Clean EBITDA as a reliable measure of profits that is not unduly subjective.
Clean EBITDA loss for the six month period ended 30 June 2016 of £0.5m is £1.0m better than the comparative figure (2015 loss of £1.5m), primarily due to increased B2B net revenue of £1.0m.
Cashflow
The cash balance at 30 June 2016 was £4.0m (2015: £7.6m) representing a decrease of £3.6m from 30 June 2015. During the six month period, the Group has continued to invest in its Internet Gaming System deployment capability and product enhancement however cash has increased by £0.2m from the year-end balance at 31 December 2015 (£3.8m) as a result of the placing in April 2016 which generated £2.6m in gross proceeds.
In addition to operating cash outflow before movements in working capital and taxation of £0.6m, cash outflows during the period include £2.0m in incremental investment in intangible fixed assets primarily related to the capitalisation of internal development time offset by cash generated from financing activities of £2.6m (following the share placement in the second quarter of the year) and positive working capital movements of £0.1m.
Outlook
B2B revenue share and other revenue is expected to show continued growth for the second half of the year. Revenues from the six Simulated GamingTM customers at 30 June 2016 are expected to benefit from the seasonally strong autumn period. In addition, new operator launches are expected to drive further revenue growth but the full benefit of these revenues will not be seen until 2017. Isle of Capri launched on 25 July 2016 and the Group expects three additional operators to launch in Q4 of 2016. Agreements are in place with a further three casino operators who are expected to launch in Q1 2017. This will bring the total number of Simulated GamingTM clients live or expected to launch to thirteen. The Group expects real money gaming revenues in Italy to continue to increase in line with a full half year contribution from a new operator launched in May 2016 and for real money gaming revenues in the US to continue in line with expected market growth.
B2B game and platform development revenues are expected to be in line with the first half of the year and will benefit from development work related to both the planned Simulated GamingTM launches and the expected launch of new real money Regulated Gaming brands in the US market in Q1 2017 conditional on commercial, contractual and regulatory consents.
The sale of Internet gaming systems remains a focus of our overall business strategy and although discussions with interested parties continue the Group does not expect the completion of a sale in the second half of 2016.
The growth opportunity in Simulated GamingTM remains significant. There is strong demand for our product which is reflected in the pipeline of prospective customers with a number of exciting deals expected to be completed in the coming quarters. In order to meet this expected demand the Group has opened a new technical development office in Bulgaria. The introduction of an additional technical resource in a lower cost market will enable the Group to continue to enhance its delivery capability without materially increasing the underlying cost structure.
The Group has raised gross proceeds year to date of £4.4m in order to continue the expansion of both real money Regulated Gaming and Simulated GamingTM opportunities in the US and in order to accelerate existing clients’ product development. The Group’s enlarged issued share capital consists of 70,051,924 Ordinary Shares.

Notes to the financial statements
1. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The financial information in this document has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and interpretations (collectively, “IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the European Union (“adopted IFRSs”).
The financial information contained in this report for the period ended 31 December 2015 does not constitute the full statutory accounts for that period. The Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2015 have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditors' Report on the Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2015 was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
This interim report, which has neither been audited nor reviewed by independent auditors, was approved by the board of directors on 30 September 2016. The financial information in this interim report has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted for use in the EU (IFRSs). The accounting policies applied by the Group in this financial information are the same as those applied by the Group in its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 and which will form the basis of the 2016 financial statements.
Adoption of new and revised standards
In the current period the Group has adopted all of the new and revised standards and interpretations issued by the IASB and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the IASB, as they have been adopted by the European Union, that are relevant to its operations and effective for accounting years beginning on 1 January 2016. None of the new standards adopted had a material impact on the Financial Statements of the Group.
New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued but are not effective (and in some cases had not yet been adopted by the EU) for the financial year beginning 1 January 2016. These have not been early adopted and the Directors are still considering the potential impact of IFRS15: Revenue from Contracts with customers and IFRS 16: Leases but do not expect that the adoption of other standards will have a material impact on the Financial Statements of the Group in future years.
2. Judgements and estimates
The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were consistent with those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2015.
The risks and uncertainties and significant estimates and judgements faced by the Group have not changed significantly since the 2015 Annual Report was published and are not expected to change significantly during the remaining six months of the financial year.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments follow the same policies as described in note 1. Segment result represents the gross profit earned by each segment without allocation of the share of administration costs including Directors’ salaries, finance costs and income tax expense. This is the measure reported to the Group’s Chief Executive for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.
Administration expenses comprise principally the employment and office costs incurred by the Group.
Segment assets and liabilities
Assets and liabilities are not separately analysed or reported to the Group’s Chief Executive and are not used to assist in decisions surrounding resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. As such, an analysis of segment and liabilities has not been included in this financial information.

9. Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to equity shareholders of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The company has share options and a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average market share price for the period) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to the outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.
