**PART
I**
**ITEM
1. BUSINESS.**
**Overview**
Inspired
Entertainment, Inc. (the Company, Inspired, we or us) is a global gaming technology
company, supplying content, platform and other products and services to licensed online and land-based lottery, betting and gaming operators
worldwide through a broad range of distribution channels, on a business-to-business basis. We provide end-to-end digital gaming solutions
(i) on our own proprietary and secure network, which accommodates a wide range of devices, including land-based gaming machine terminals,
mobile devices and online computer applications and (ii) through third party networks. Our content and other products can be found through
the consumer-facing portals of our customers operating digital channels, on aggregator platforms, and in licensed betting offices, adult
gaming centers, pubs, bingo halls and motorway service areas for our customers operating land-based venues.
Our
customer base includes licensed lotteries, sports bookmakers, operators of gaming and bingo halls, casinos, online operators, adult
gaming centers, pubs and motorway service areas. Some of our key customers include William Hill, SNAI, Sisal, Betfred, Paddy Power,
Betfair, Jenningsbet, Corbett Bookmakers, Genting, bet365, Sky Bet, the Greek Organisation of Football Prognostics S.A. (OPAP.),
Entain, DraftKings, FanDuel, the Pennsylvania Lottery, the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC), the Western
Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC), Moto, Welcome Break, Buzz Bingo, Mecca Bingo, JD Wetherspoon, Merkur Slots and Luxury
Leisure. Geographically, 69% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was generated from our United Kingdom
(UK) operations, with the remainder generated from Greece, North America and the rest of the world. Our products are
designed to operate within applicable gaming, virtual sports and lottery regulations.
We
conduct business across different jurisdictions, of which the UK, Italy and Greece have historically contributed the most significant
recurring revenue. Since 2021, we have begun to conduct a meaningful amount of business in regulated North American markets and states.
We are licensed or certified (as applicable) by the Gambling Commission in the UK, (the UK Gambling Commission), the Hellenic
Gaming Commission in Greece, and registered with LAgenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM) in Italy. We are licensed
by regulators in other jurisdictions such as the Malta Gaming Authority (Malta), the Licensing Authority of Gibraltar (Gibraltar), the
Alderney Gambling Control Commission (Channel Islands), the Belgian Kansspel Commissie (Belgium), Oficiul National pentru Jocuri de Noroc
(Romania), Spelinspektionen, the Swedish Gaming Authority (Sweden), Ministerio de Comercio Exterior y Turismo (MINCETUR) in Peru, and
we hold licenses with the U.S. states of Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, Delaware, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia,
and the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan.
We
are headquartered in the U.S., with principal operating facilities located in the UK and India. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately
1,020 employees, approximately 920 of whom were full-time. We generated total revenue of $304.1 million and adjusted earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) of $111.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The
Companys common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol INSE. The Company had an equity market capitalization
of approximately $251.5 million as of December 31, 2025 (based upon a closing stock price of $9.36 on December 31, 2025).
The
Company uses the British Pound as its functional currency for reporting purposes. Our results are affected by changes in foreign currency
exchange rates as a result of the translation of foreign functional currencies into our reporting currency and the re-measurement of
foreign currency transactions and balances. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations represents the difference between
current rates and prior-period rates applied to current activity. The geographic region in which the largest portion of our business
is operated is the UK and the British pound (GBP) is considered to be our functional currency. Our reporting currency is
the U.S. dollar (USD). Our results are translated from our functional currency of GBP into the reporting currency of USD
using average rates for profit and loss transactions and applicable spot rates for period-end balances. The effect of translating our
functional currency into our reporting currency, as well as translating the results of foreign subsidiaries that have a different functional
currency into our functional currency, is reported separately in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

**Our
Products**
We
operate in four business segments: Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive and Leisure, as further described below.
| 1 | |
**Gaming
Segment**
Our
Gaming segment supplies gaming terminals, gaming software and/or games content for terminals located in Licensed Betting Offices (LBOs),
casinos, gaming halls and adult gaming centers (AGCs). We either supply products that utilize our Server Based Gaming (SBG)
technology to supply gaming content to our customers global land-based gaming venues, available on approximately 38,000 terminals,
or we may deploy our games or game assets on terminals which are purchased from us outright, or licensed for use on third-party platforms.
Our
games or game assets are currently deployed on approximately 50,000 terminals.
Because
our SBG products are fully digital, they interact with a central server and are provided on a distributed basis, which
allows us to access a wide geographic footprint through remote networks.
Our
SBG game portfolio includes a broad selection of popular omni-channel slots titles including Gold Cash Free Spins, Golden Winner,
Cops n Robbers Big Money and the Cash Bank family of games which include Big Piggy Bank and Wolf it Up!, offering a premium player
experience across multiple platforms. These games offer users a wide range of volatilities, return-to-player and other special features.
We also offer a range of more traditional casino games through our SBG network, such as roulette, blackjack and numbers games.
We
distribute games to devices through different game management systems (GMS), each tailored to a specific operator or sector.
Our CORE GMS is designed for distributed street-gaming sectors and uses Inspired cabinets in combination with gaming content from
Inspired, as well as a wide portfolio of content from independent game developers. CORE-CONNECT is our American Gaming Association G2S
standard-based video lottery terminal (VLT) GMS, currently deployed in the Greek VLT sector and North America. Our SBG
products comply with all requirements in the UK (B2/B3), Italy (6B), Greece (G2S) and various locations in North America such as Illinois
(G2S), Alberta (AGLC), and Western Canada (WCLC).
Our
SBG terminals in the UK account for a material portion of all SBG terminal placements, and we offer over 100 games for play across this
portfolio. We are also a material supplier to customers in Greece and Italy. Over the past few years, we have grown our business in North
America where we have sold products in Illinois, the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) and the Alberta Gaming Liquor
& Cannabis Commission (AGLC). We offer SBG terminals such as Vantage , Flex4k curved screen, Valor, Prismatic,
Valiant , and Velos, our ETG product, each offering a different size or configuration terminal, including certain graphics, technology,
and features.
As
of December 31, 2025, we had a total installed base of approximately 35,000 gaming terminals, which were operated under participation-based
or fixed rental-based contracts. We generate revenue typically by participating in the gross revenue generated from each machine, and
therefore, both we and our customers benefit from the introduction of new game content, which can drive growth.
Additionally,
we earn revenue through the sale of terminal units. During 2025, we sold approximately 5,500 units, an increase over the previous
year of approximately 2,300 units. This increase arose due to an opportunity that we do not expect to be recurring in nature. Of the
2025 overall sales value, 88% was attributed to the UK, and 12% was attributed to sales from North America. With our
participation-driven business model, approximately 87% of service revenue for our Gaming segment was recurring in nature in 2025 and
derived under long-term contracts.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, our Gaming segment generated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of $112.3 million and $55.0 million, respectively,
as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, during which we generated $110.6 million and $45.3 million in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA,
respectively.
**Virtual
Sports Segment**
****
Our
Virtual Sports business designs, develops, markets and distributes products that create an always-on sports wagering experience in betting
shops and other locations and online. Our Virtual Sports product comprises a complex software and networking package that provides fixed-odds
wagering on ultra-high definition, computer-rendered simulations of sporting events such as soccer, football or basketball. This product
enables players to place bets on simulated sporting events, without being bound to live event schedules. We have developed this technology
using advanced motion capture techniques and a TV and film graphics team to create highly realistic simulations.
We
believe we are among the most innovative suppliers of Virtual Sports gaming products worldwide. Our diverse portfolio of sports and
numbers-based games is available in approximately 25,000 retail venues and through multiple online platforms. We have operations
across over 25 gaming jurisdictions worldwide, including the UK, Italy, Greece, Brazil, Turkey, Morocco, and the U.S and have most
recently launched in the state of Virginia.
| 2 | |
Our
Virtual Sports portfolio includes titles such as V-Play Soccer, V-Play Womens Soccer, V-Play Football, V-Play
Basketball, and V-Play Baseball, along with greyhound racing, horse racing, tennis, motor racing, cycling, cricket, speedway,
golf and darts. Furthermore, we have licensing agreements for the use of sports brands, and associated marks or trade-dress archival
footage, or a combination of the foregoing, including a partnership with the National Basketball Association (NBA), and
the National Hockey League (NHL), and, pursuant to our licensing arrangements with Aristocrat Gaming, the National Football
League (NFL). During 2025, we continued to enhance our core Virtual Sports offerings, including V-Play Soccer, through
ongoing technology and gameplay improvements such as *Soccer 3.6*, which is designed to improve visual quality, realism and player
engagement. In addition to these traditional sports simulations, we are diversifying our Virtual Sports offering through the development
of new product formats, including *Fortune Flyer*, an upcoming virtual racing-style game, as part of our efforts to broaden the
appeal and long-term evolution of the portfolio.
Our
customers include some of the largest operators in lottery, gaming and sports betting globally. We are contracted to supply Virtual Sports
to mobile and online operators across key regulated markets, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Poland; the U.S.
states of Nevada, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia and the District of Columbia; Gibraltar and other regulated markets in Europe.
We also supply customers based in Ontario, Turkey and Morocco. Our technology is adaptable to sports betting, lottery, and gaming environments,
making it accessible to a wide range of customers in both public and private sectors.
Our
Virtual Sports events are available to millions of customers worldwide, through retail, online and mobile platforms, many of which are
available 24/7. We offer multiple hosting solutions tailored to customer needs, including our proprietary Virtual Plug and Play (VPP)
turnkey solution for online and mobile platforms, and are available on certain aggregator platforms such as Altenar, Kambi, and others.
Additionally, our cloud-based XML sportsbook integration enables fully hosted and managed Virtual Sports solutions for customers seeking
seamless product delivery.
Virtual
Sports products are predominantly offered under participation-based commercial arrangements, whereby Inspired receives a share of gaming
revenue generated by the content, together with upfront software licensing fees, integration fees, hosting fees or a combination thereof.
As a result of this recurring revenue model, approximately 94% of Virtual Sports segment revenue is generated under long to medium-term
contracts, with a typical contract duration of three years.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Virtual Sports segment generated revenue of $36.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $26.8 million,
compared to revenue of $45.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $36.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The year-on-year performance
reflects, among other things, regulatory and tax developments in Brazil. Inspired continues to progress initiatives to diversify the Virtual Sports customer
base, expand market reach and broaden delivery channels, notably through partnerships with Altenar, Kambi, and other platforms.
**Interactive
Segment**
Our
Interactive segment develops and distributes interactive-only content, in the form of games hosted on remote gaming servers. This enables
online gaming operators to offer Inspireds content across online and mobile platforms worldwide.
The
Interactive portfolio comprises a broad range of random number generated casino content, including feature-rich bonus games,
European-style casino games, free spins and table games, incorporating well-known first and third-party brands. Notable titles
include a range of *Cops nRobbers*, *Gold Cash, and the Cash bank games Wolf it Up! and Big Piggy Bank*. Further to
this a key success story is that of Golden Winner Grand Chance that has gone on to win *Slot Game of the Year*at
the 2026 European iGaming Awards. Inspired continues to release multiple new titles each month, which can be seamlessly deployed
across the full estate of operators and aggregators through our Virgo Remote Gaming System (Virgo RGS). During
2025, our games were available on over 500 websites across regulated European and North American jurisdictions, including New
Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Alberta, West Virginia, Ontario and Quebec, as well as additional growth
markets.
Virgo
RGS is integrated with a wide range of leading online gaming operators, including Flutter, Entain, bet365, Evoke, Gamesys, Kaizen,
and Betfred. In North America, Inspireds Interactive content is live with major operators including BetMGM, DraftKings Group,
Caesars, FanDuel, Rush Street Interactive, and Loto Qubec.
Our
Interactive segment includes Hybrid Dealer, a unique iGaming format that merges high-definition pre-recorded live dealer footage with
RNG-based outcomes. This innovative format creates a rich, immersive environment thats fully brandable, always on, and free from
the complexities and expenses of live studio operations. During 2025, we continued to support the rollout of Hybrid Dealer gameshows
and table games with select operators, and we believe it enhances our ability to offer differentiated content across regulated markets.
| 3 | |
Interactive
products are predominantly offered under participation-based commercial arrangements, whereby Inspired typically receives a percentage
of the net gaming revenue generated by its content. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Interactive segment generated revenue of
$58.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $40.6 million, compared to revenue of $39.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $25.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 2024.
Adjusted
EBITDA margins within the Interactive segment remain strong, reflecting the low incremental cost base associated with deploying additional
content across an established operator network. However, margin expansion continues to be influenced by regulatory and tax developments
in certain jurisdictions. This includes regulatory measures in markets such as the United Kingdom in the form of mandatory levies on
gross gambling yield (GGY), with pressure expected to continue as the UK government has enacted legislation to introduce
a new Remote Betting and Gaming Duty of 40% from April 2026, increasing from the current rate of 21%.
****
**Leisure
Segment**
We remain a supplier of
gaming terminals and amusement machines to the Leisure and Hospitality sectors but, following the sale of our holiday parks and
certain associated leisure assets to Genda, Inc, a Tokyo-listed entity, are no longer servicing the holiday parks sector. We have
transitioned a number of pub customers to a new operating model using a less capital-intensive approach, and one in which we refocus
on content and machine supply, moving away from servicing and collections activities. As of December 31, 2025, we supplied and operated over 5,800 gaming terminals located in pubs, bingo
halls, and adult gaming centers. We also service approximately 2,800 gaming terminals under maintenance only contracts. The
increasing majority of gaming terminals we operate are server based, allowing us to distribute content supplied by our in
house design studios as well as some of the most popular content titles from our strategic partners.
Our
main customer in this segment includes the large pub operator JD Wetherspoons. In the Bingo sector, we supply gaming terminals and
services to Buzz Bingo and Mecca Bingo. We supply gaming terminals and services to motorway service providers, Moto and Welcome Break. We no
longer serve airports or operate any of our own adult gaming centers.
Overall,
our Leisure segment had, as of December 31, 2025, an installed base of approximately 5,500 terminals, which were operated primarily under
participation-based contracts. We generate revenue by participating, typically as a function of gross revenue from each machine, in a
percentage of volumes generated by these machines. Because we participate in our customers revenue under such contracts, we are
aligned with our customers in benefiting from the introduction of our new content, which can drive growth in the win per unit per day
of our installed base. Additionally, we earn revenue through the sale of units, as well as a fixed daily fee for certain of our installed
units. With our participation-driven business model, approximately 97% of revenue for our Leisure segment is recurring in nature and
derived under long-term contracts. We installed over six hundred Vantage Cat C cabinets to our Pubs estate during the year and we have
successfully renewed or extended contracts with Moto Hospitality, Buzz Bingo and Mecca Bingo.
For
the year ended December 31, 2025, our Leisure segment generated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of $96.6 million and $21.2 million respectively,
as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, during which we generated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of $101.8 million and $23.3 million,
respectively.
**Our
Strengths**
We
believe key factors that give us an advantage in the gaming technology space include:
| 4 | |
**Established
presence across multiple Product Verticals**
We
have a substantial installed base, including over 32,000 digital terminals in the Gaming segment located across key jurisdictions in
the UK, Greece and Italy, with approximately 12,800 terminals installed in UK Licensed Betting Offices and approximately 9,100 terminals
installed in Greek venues. In our Leisure segment, we supply and operate an installed base of approximately 5,500 gaming terminals (including
approximately 2,800 gaming terminals under maintenance only contracts) to pubs, bingo
halls and adult gaming centers. We have content and products in our Virtual Sports segment, which offers a wide range of sports and numbers
games through approximately 25,000 retail venues as well as through various online channels. Our Virtual Sports gaming products are available
in a number of jurisdictions worldwide, including the UK, Italy, Greece, Morocco, Turkey and the U.S., our customers being many of the
largest operators of lottery, gaming, and betting operations worldwide. Additionally, our Interactive segment provides a wide range of
iGaming content to large operators primarily marketing to customers located in the UK, Italy, Greece and North America, as well as several
other regulated countries across Europe through over approximately 500 websites.
**Highly
Diversified Business Underpinned by Longstanding Customer Relationships**
We
operate in several business segments and geographic locations that provide a diversified revenue and cash flow stream that has proven
to be resilient under various economic environments. While our Gaming segment has represented the largest proportion of our revenue in
each of the last three years, our Interactive segment represents substantial growth opportunity together with our virtual sports in Latin
America. Additionally, we continue to expand in high growth markets, such as North America, which are expected to drive further geographic
diversification across business segments. We have over 700 customers, including major lottery, sports betting and gaming operators (both
interactive and location-based) within regulated sectors worldwide, which we supply either directly or via aggregator platforms. Many
of our customer relationships in the UK and Europe are long-standing and in excess of 10 years. We expect that our diverse customer base
will afford us opportunities to sell incremental products to certain of these customers in the future.
**Substantial
Recurring Revenue Supported by Long-Term Participation-Based Contracts**
We
believe our robust recurring revenue business model will drive our performance and free cash flow generation. For the year ended December
31, 2025, our recurring revenue, which included revenue generated from participation-based contracts and licensing arrangements, represented
approximately 92% of total revenue, as compared to approximately 86% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our content
and products, which are provided primarily pursuant to long-term contracts, are essential to generating revenue for our customers and
satisfying the demand of our end users. Our long-term contracts typically have an initial duration of three to five years depending on
the business segment and the customer and, over the last three years, we have successfully renewed the significant majority of expiring
contracts with key customers in our Gaming, Virtual Sports and Interactive segments.
**Proprietary
Technology and Track-Record of Strong Content Development**
We
are dedicated to being at the forefront of our industry in terms of technology and innovation. We combine complementary expertise in
technology and operations, positioning us as a provider of superior content and technical solutions. As of December 31, 2025, we held
approximately 25 patents or pending patent applications and approximately 390 trademarks worldwide. We focus our product development
efforts on emerging content and technology trends, utilizing a combination of customer research, design experience and engineering excellence.
We are committed to developing innovative products for our customers and are focused on improving player entertainment and customer profitability.
We
believe convergence trends in the gaming industry emphasize the importance of proprietary content, including licensed content. Such content
is needed to successfully promote a compelling game offering across multiple platforms and to develop distinctive products for operator-clients.
Our proprietary content drives engagement across gaming platforms. Our full suite of high-quality gaming products, services and multichannel
distribution capabilities, extensive traditional content library, sizeable installed gaming machine base and deep relationships with
operator-customers help make us an attractive partner for potential licensors of branded content.
| 5 | |
Our
Interactive business has expanded rapidly, with revenue growing at an approximate compound annual growth rate of 53% on a functional
currency at constant rate basis between 2019 and 2024. We believe this growth has been driven, in part, by our content library of over
340 games. Many of our recent game launches, including Gold Cash Free Spins, Golden Winner, Cops n Robbers Big Money
and the Cash Bank family of games which include Big Piggy Bank and Wolf it Up!, have been omni-channel, offering a premium player
experience across multiple platforms though, unlike our older games, they originated online and, once proved successful, were
migrated to retail platforms.
Our
Virtual Sports products offer a wide range of betting markets and what we consider to be superior graphics. Our Virtual Sports revenue
has achieved high EBITDA margins, while providing an attractive recurring revenue base.
**Positioned
To Benefit From Key Market Trends**
With
our proprietary digital gaming platform and content comprising an end-to-end product offering and our multi-channel capabilities and
robust relationships across the client spectrum, we believe we are well-positioned to benefit from emerging gaming sector trends, including
growth stimulated by liberalization of government gaming regulations, the emergence of multi-channel offerings and the increasing importance
of proprietary content.
Our
multi-channel offerings are well-positioned to benefit from the prevalence of smart phones and tablets and the legalization of online
gaming in certain parts of the United States, Canada, Brazil, LATAM more generally, South Africa and other jurisdictions. Such jurisdictions
have provided new growth opportunities for gaming, interactive, sports and lottery operators through the introduction of new channels
and portals for delivering games and content to customers. This supplements the existing broad-based online gambling market across Europe.
Our multi-channel solutions and customer relationship management capabilities position us to take advantage of new opportunities to extend
our gaming solutions across different channels for our customers to reach new players, expand the player demographic base and access
players wherever they are whenever they want to play. Our technology extends engagement for existing players and has the capability to
reach new player segments. This and other technology help position us for future online real-money gaming opportunities by offering play-for-fun
online gaming options in jurisdictions where online real-money gaming may be legalized in the future.
Government
initiatives, such as the legalization of casino operations in new jurisdictions, increases in the number of casinos allowed to operate
in a given jurisdiction and the legalization of new products, have helped stimulate growth in the gaming market. In the United States,
legislative change has led to a slow increase in the legalization of sports betting or online gaming even as several states move towards
banning or clarifying their legal position as it pertains to sweepstakes, regulating prediction markets, and Maine recently became the
eighth U.S. state to legalize online casino gaming.
**Experienced
Management Team**
Our
seasoned management team is led by our Executive Chairman, Lorne Weil, who is known as a gaming industry innovator and whose past leadership
includes growing a diversified global gaming technology company both organically and through extensive acquisitions and joint ventures
further bolstering the business. In addition to Mr. Weil, who is also our principal executive officer, our management team includes Brooks
H. Pierce, our President and Chief Executive Officer; James Richardson, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and
Simona Camilleri, our Executive Vice President and General Counsel. Our management team has broad and deep experience in the gaming industry,
working with lotteries, casino operators, betting and gaming platforms, content suppliers and online operators. The members of the management
team between them have decades of experience in the gaming industry, including relationships with suppliers and customers around the
world, helping them build and sustain revenue growth and achieve strategic objectives. The finance team is further supported by Craig Wilson as Vice President of Finance and Accounting, who has requisite
experience to support in US GAAP.

**Our
Strategy**
We
seek to deliver innovative and differentiated products that provide value to our customers and exciting experiences to their players
in multiple jurisdictions throughout the world while achieving long-term growth in revenue, profit and cash flow. We place great emphasis
on developing creative and wide-ranging solutions, in terms of digital content and play that deliver and sustain superior performance
through operators across online, mobile and location-based channels. Our technology often allows us to update our games and operating
software remotely, keeping pace with evolving customer and regulatory requirements affecting game software, security, features, reporting,
interoperability and in-built technology. We seek to achieve these goals as we:
****
**Extend
our positions in each of the sectors in which we operate by developing new content and products which can often be utilized across multiple
distribution channels.**
We
continually invest in new content and product development and delivery channels in each of the business segments in which we operate,
believing these to benefit our existing and prospective customers. Our approach seeks to distribute our content across a wide range of
channels, sectors, protocols and regulatory standards, on a cost-efficient basis. We have continued to focus on channels where we believe
there is considerable growth available especially in our digital businesses. We believe our technological approach allows us
to quickly adapt to changes in player preferences and trends, and to comply with applicable laws.
**Continue
to invest in content, technology and delivery channels in order to grow our existing customers revenue and penetrate new customers
in our existing markets.**
Over
recent years, a significant portion of our annual revenue has been recurring in nature and generated pursuant to long-term customer contracts.
Under these arrangements, our revenue generally increases in line with the growth of our customers gaming revenue derived from
our content and products. We work closely with our customers to support the optimization of their operations and to help drive growth
in revenue generated from our offerings, which in turn benefits our business.
To
support this strategy, we continue to invest in the development of new content and technology solutions designed to enhance and refresh
our customers offerings by providing players with new forms of entertainment. As our content achieves demonstrated commercial
success, we seek to deploy such content across a broader customer base that recognizes its value and performance. We believe that continued
investment in content development is a critical component of our long-term growth strategy, and we intend to maintain this focus across
each of the business segments in which we operate.
**Add
new customers, or extend our collaboration with existing customers, by expanding into new markets.**
We
believe that our historical growth has been driven by expansion into new geographic markets, supplemented by increased market penetration
within existing jurisdictions. Our strategy continues to focus on select North and South American markets across our Gaming, Virtual
Sports, Lottery and Interactive segments, where we believe opportunities for expansion may exist, subject to applicable regulatory frameworks
and market conditions.
We
believe that North America represents an attractive gaming market in which we currently have more limited participation and a
comparatively lower market share. While competition in this region is significant and regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction, we
believe our products and content offerings are well positioned and offer opportunities for growth.
We
continue to pursue opportunities in Brazil consistent with our broader strategy, including the deployment of further localized content
offerings. Our ability to expand in Brazil remains subject to ongoing regulatory developments, competitive taxation levels, supplier
and other licensing requirements and commercial execution.
We
also believe that additional growth opportunities may arise in other Latin American jurisdictions over time as regulatory frameworks
continue to evolve. However, the timing, scope and commercial impact of any such opportunities remain uncertain and dependent on regulatory
authorization, market acceptance and competitive dynamics.
**Pursue
targeted mergers and acquisitions to expand our product portfolio and distribution footprint.**
In
addition to growing our business organically, we have pursued, and continue to pursue, merger and acquisition opportunities that we believe
will help strengthen and scale our operations and take further advantage of our competitive position as a distributor of content and digital services. Our management
team shares a combination of operating, investing, financial and transactional experience that we believe will serve the Company well
as it seeks to identify opportunities for value-adding acquisitions to negotiate and close on potential acquisition transactions.

**Industry
Overview**
We
operate within the global gaming and lottery industry. Global gaming and lottery growth has been resilient in the face of economic cycles
over the last decade. According to the H2 Database, the global gaming and lottery industry has grown at an estimated 5% compounded annual
growth rate from 2015 to 2025.
During
this period, the digital online and mobile gaming and lottery sectors have grown at a faster pace than the industry as a whole. According
to the H2 Database, these industry sectors have grown at an estimated 17% compounded annual growth rate from 2015 to 2025, driven by
rapid growth in the deployment of digital games and technologies, including many of our products, into land-based venues in the primary
sectors in which we operate, where regulators have supported the transition to digital, online and retail channels. According to the
H2 Database, the total global gaming and lottery industry is projected to grow an average of 6% per year from 2025 to 2030 driven by
the projected growth in mobile and online gaming.
As
a gaming and lottery business-to-business supplier focused on digital products and technologies, we believe we are well positioned to
benefit from the broader global digital and mobile trends further described below.
**Influencers
of Digital Adoption**
We
believe the digital segment of the global gaming and lottery industry will continue to grow, including as a result of the following factors:
*Governments:
Opening of new gaming territories.* Many national, state and local governments in developed economies across Europe, Latin America
and North America continue to face structural budgetary pressures, driven by elevated public-sector debt, rising social and healthcare
expenditures, inflationary cost pressures and, in some cases, slower economic growth. At the same time, regulators in a number of jurisdictions
are increasingly focused on addressing the growth of unregulated or illegal gaming activity, including offerings provided through offshore
or remote channels.
As
a result, the regulation and taxation of gaming and lottery activities are, in certain jurisdictions, viewed as potential mechanisms
to generate incremental public revenue while increasing consumer protection and regulatory oversight. Regulatory responses vary by jurisdiction.
In some cases, liberalization efforts may support the development or expansion of large, destination-based casino resorts. In other jurisdictions,
regulatory frameworks may emphasize smaller, distributed gaming (EDGE) venues that combine lottery, gaming and sports betting
with regulated remote or digital gaming offerings.
The
scope, timing and structure of any such regulatory developments remain subject to political, economic and social considerations, and
there can be no assurance that regulatory changes, if adopted, will result in material market expansion or favorable commercial outcomes
for industry participants.
*Digital
Multi-Channel Offerings: Replacement of legacy analog machines with larger volume of smart digital devices, both interactive and location
based.* As certain gaming markets mature, governments and regulatory authorities in a number of jurisdictions have adopted, or
are considering adopting, regulatory frameworks that support or require modernization of existing terminal bases, including enhanced
connectivity, data reporting, security and responsible gaming features. These regulatory initiatives are often intended to improve regulatory
oversight, operational efficiency, player protection and tax collection, and may facilitate integration between land-based and remote
gaming channels. However, the timing, scope and commercial impact of such modernization efforts vary significantly by jurisdiction and
remain subject to regulatory approvals, funding constraints, technical standards and market conditions.
*Smartphones
and Mobile Devices: Rapid adoption of gaming and lottery applications on growing volume* focus on smaller distributed gaming (EDGE)
venues with lottery, gaming and sports betting, combined with online or mobile gaming and betting.
In
certain sectors, mobile play on sports betting and gaming now exceeds such play on personal computers. According to the H2 Database,
mobile gaming revenue in such sectors exhibited a 23.0% compounded annual growth rate between 2015 and 2025. Mobile gaming and lottery
are now expanding in other sectors, and mobile play has recently been approved in other sectors for gaming or lottery.
We
believe digitally networked gaming and lottery technologies may provide operational efficiencies for our customers by enabling centralized
and remote management of certain functions with limited disruption to existing operations. Digital platforms can increase flexibility
in deploying and modifying game offerings, support targeted and seasonal content strategies, and allow new games to be introduced more
efficiently than on legacy terminals.
In
addition, digital operations may support a greater number of games per terminal, facilitate testing of new content and suppliers through
open interfaces, and reduce on-site maintenance requirements, which may improve terminal uptime and extend useful lives. The realization
of these benefits depends on regulatory approvals, customer adoption, technical implementation and operating conditions.

****
**Regulatory
Framework**
We
conduct business in a number of different jurisdictions, of which the UK, Italy and Greece have historically contributed the most
significant recurring revenue. The gaming regulator responsible for our activities in the UK is the Gambling Commission. In Italy,
the operation of gaming machines and remote gaming is regulated by LAgenzia delle dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM). In
Greece, the operation of gaming machines and remote gaming is regulated by the Hellenic Gaming Commission. In addition, we are licensed
or certified (as applicable) in a number of other jurisdictions by regulators such as the Malta Gaming Authority, His Majestys
Government of Gibraltar, the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, the Belgian Kansspel Commissie, Romania Oficiul National pentru
Jocuri de Noroc, Autorit Des Marchs Financiers (Quebec), Nova Scotia Alcohol, Gaming, Fuel and Tomabbo Division, Saskatchewan
Liquor and Gaming Authority, Alcohol and Gaming Commission (Ontario), Ministerio de Comercio Exterior y Turismo (MINCETEUR) in Peru and
state regulators in various jurisdictions in the United States such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois and others.
**United Kingdom**
In
the British sector, we supply and distribute Category B3 gaming machines (with maximum betting stakes for players of 2),
Category C gaming machines, Category D gaming machines and Electronic Table Games (ETG) machines to third parties who are licensed to
operate such machines in bricks-and-mortar premises. We also supply virtual sports software to local retail venues and virtual
sports and interactive content to online operators who are licensed to target the British sector. The provision of our products and
services in relation to the British sector is authorized by a multi-category operating license issued by the UK Gambling Commission,
namely remote and non-remote Gaming Machine Technical (Full) operating licenses, a remote casino operating license, a remote and
non-remote gambling software license and a remote general betting standard (virtual events) license.
**British
Betting and Gaming Laws and Regulations.**The Gambling Act 2005 (the GA05) is the principal legislation in the UK governing gambling (other than in relation to the National Lottery, which is governed by separate legislation). The GA05 applies
to both land-based gambling (referred to as non-remote gambling) and online and mobile gambling (referred to as remote
gambling).
The
GA05 provides that it is an offense to make a gaming machine available for use without an appropriate operating license. There are a
number of different categories of licensable gaming machines (the GA05 provides for category A to D machines, although no category A
machines are currently in operation); each category is subject to different levels of maximum stakes and prize limits. In addition, there
are limits on the numbers and types of gaming machines that can be operated from licensed premises: for example, a licensed betting office
is permitted to house up to four category B3 to D machines, while a large casino may house up to 150 category B to D machines (subject
to satisfying certain ratios of machines to gaming tables).
Gaming
machine suppliers are required to hold an operating license in order to manufacture, supply, install, adapt, maintain or repair a gaming
machine or part of a gaming machine. Gaming machine suppliers must also comply with the Gaming Machine Technical Standards published
by the Gambling Commission in relation to each category of machine, and such machines must meet the appropriate testing requirements.
In
relation to remote gambling, the GA05 (as amended by the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014 provides that it is an offense
to provide facilities for remote gambling either (a) using remote gambling equipment situated in the UK,
or (b) which are used by players situated in the UK, in each case without a remote gambling operating license. It is also an offense
to manufacture, supply, install or adapt gambling software in the UK without an appropriate gambling software license.
A
remote gambling operating license holder providing facilities for remote gambling to British players is required to use gambling software
manufactured and supplied by the holder of a gambling software license (and failure to do so is an offence). Where gambling software
is used or supplied for use in relation to the British sector, it must satisfy the Remote Gambling and Software Technical Standards published
by the Gambling Commission.
| 9 | |
The
holder of a British gambling operating license is subject to a variety of ongoing regulatory requirements, including, but not limited
to, the following:
| 
| 
| 
Shareholder
disclosure: An entity holding a gambling license must notify the Gambling Commission of the identity of any shareholder holding 3%
or more (increased to 5% or more with effect as of 19 March 2026) of the equity or voting rights in the entity (whether held or controlled
either directly or indirectly). | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Change
of corporate control: Whenever a new person becomes a controller (as defined in section 422 of the Financial Services
and Markets Act 2000) of a company limited by shares that holds a gambling operating license, the licensed entity must apply to the
Gambling Commission for permission to continue to rely on its operating license in light of the new controller. A new controller
includes any person who holds or controls (directly or indirectly, including ultimate beneficial owners who hold their interest through
a chain of ownership) 10% or more of the equity or voting rights in the licensed entity (or who is otherwise able to exercise significant
influence over it). The Gambling Commission must be supplied with specified information regarding the new controller (which,
in the case of an individual, includes detailed personal disclosure) and this information will be reviewed by the Gambling Commission
to assess the suitability of the new controller to be associated with a licensed entity. If the Gambling Commission concludes that
it would not have issued the operating license to the licensed entity had the new controller been a controller when the application
for the operating license was made, the Gambling Commission is required to revoke the operating license. It is possible to apply
for approval in advance from the Gambling Commission prior to becoming a new controller of a licensed entity. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Compliance
with the License Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP): The LCCP is a suite of license conditions and code provisions which attach
to operating licenses issued by the Gambling Commission. The provision of gambling facilities in breach of a license condition is
an offense under the GA05. Certain specified Social Responsibility code provisions are accorded the same weight as
license conditions in this regard (whereas breach of an ordinary code provision is not an offense in itself, but may
be evidence of unsuitability to continue to hold a gambling license). The LCCP imposes numerous operational requirements on licensees,
including compliance with the Gambling Commissions Remote Gambling and Software Technical Standards, the implementation of
a variety of social responsibility tools (such as self-exclusion), anti-money laundering measures, age verification of customers
and a host of consumer protection measures. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Regulatory
returns and reporting of key events: The LCCP requires licensees to submit quarterly returns to the Gambling Commission detailing
prescribed operational data to ensure licensees are within correct fee categories and also to provide vital information regarding
the UK market to enable the UK Gambling Commission to regulate effectively and publish industry statistics. Licensees are also required
to notify the Gambling Commission as soon as practicable and in any event within 5 working days of becoming aware of the occurrence
of certain specified key events which, in summary, are events which could have a significant impact on the nature or
structure of the licensees business. Licensees are also required to notify suspicion of offenses and suspicious gambling activity. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Personal
licenses: Key management personnel are required to maintain personal licenses authorizing them to discharge certain responsibilities
on behalf of the operator. These personal licenses are subject to renewal every five years. Personal licenses are subject to compliance
with certain license conditions. | |
**Italy**
We operate three different gaming businesses in Italy. We provide platform
and games for video lottery terminals, supply platforms for bets on Virtual Sports events to betting shops and online platforms and provide
online casino games to online licensed operators. Our businesses are operated through the Italian branches of certain of our UK subsidiaries.
These branches hold police licenses and are enrolled in the ADM Register of Gestori, as further described below. We supply our platform
and games and Virtual Sports and online casino products only to operators licensed under Italian gaming laws and regulations.
Our VLT and Virtual Sports platforms as well as the platform through which
our online casino games are offered to the public must be connected over the internet to servers operated by the ADM. Information regarding
gaming sessions and the amounts wagered and won is provided in real time through the ADM servers, in order to enable the ADM to monitor
the operation of machines and games and to verify the amount of taxes due.
| 10 | |
****
**Italian
Betting and Gaming Laws and Regulations.**Operators of betting premises offering VLTs (including the entities managing the networks
connecting such VLTs to ADM servers), and operators of betting premises or online platforms offering Virtual Sports as well as online
platforms offering online casino products, must hold an Italian gaming license while operators of gaming halls where VLTs are located
operate do not need a gaming license. No gaming license is required in order to supply VLTs, Virtual Sports and online casino products
to such operators. Such VLT platforms, machines and games, and Virtual Sports and online casino games, must be certified and approved
by either SOGEI, an entity controlled by the Italian Ministry of Finance and authorized to conduct such certifications or testing labs
accredited with ADM. Such certifications and approvals must be obtained by such operators, rather than the suppliers of such VLT platforms,
machines and games, Virtual Sports platforms and games and online casino games.
Suppliers
of gaming machines, including VLTs, must hold a police license (as prescribed by artice 86, paragraph 3, of the Italian United
Text of Public Security Law provided by the Royal Decree 18 June 1931, No. 773) and be enrolled in a registry prescribed by article 1,
paragraph 82 of Law No. 220/2010 and managed by ADM (known as the ADM Register of Gestori). If a supplier of gaming machines
is not enrolled in the ADM Register of Gestori, any agreement it enters into regarding the supply of gaming machines is null and void.
In addition, if the enrollment is not renewed, existing agreements regarding the supply of gaming machines become null and void. Enrollment
in the ADM Register of Gestori is subject to, among other things, a review of the suitability of the applicant business entity and its
directors. In the event of a change of control of the entity enrolled in the ADM Register of Gestori (but not of such entitys
direct or indirect parent entities), the details of such change must be notified to the ADM and suitability must be reconfirmed.
Suppliers
of Virtual Sports products are not required to hold a police license, be enrolled in the Register of Gestori or otherwise be licensed
or registered.
****
**Greece**
In
Greece, we supply VLTs, including the terminal machines themselves, the related online platforms and the games available on the machines,
to brick-and-mortar gaming locations operated by OPAP, the countrys sole licensed operator of gaming machines. We supply such
VLTs under a certification provided by the Hellenic Gaming Commission, in accordance with the applicable VLT Technical and Operational
Regulation (Ministerial Decision 79314/23.07.2020, as amended) and the supplier suitability framework (Ministerial Decision 79305 
2020/27.07.2020, as amended and codified. We also supply Virtual Sports products (regulated as betting products under Law 4002/2011 and
the applicable Hellenic Gaming Commission regulatory framework governing retail and online betting) within retail venues operated by
OPAP and via self-service betting terminals within OPAP venues and supply interactive games and Virtual Sports to online operators in
Greece including Stoiximan, OPAP and Novibet.
**Greek
Betting and Gaming Laws and Regulations:**According to Article 44 par. 2 of Law 4002/2011, as well as according to HGCs
Decision No 225/2/25.10.2016 as well as Ministerial Decision 79314/23.07.2020 (GG B 3263/5 August 2020) as amended with Decision
13530 /02.02.2022 (GG B 356 03.02.2022) and again with Decision 187634/27.12.2022 (GG B 6716/2712.2022) and79305 
2020/27.07.2020 (GG B 3262/05.08.2020, as corrected, and as amended & codified by 56580 2022 (GG B 2166/04.05.2022),
all suppliers of gaming machines in Greece must be certified by the HGC in order to legally supply, sell, lease, offer or distribute
any VLT or virtual game or any other game of chance (i.e. games including wagers or bets and the result of which games depends, even
partly, on the influence of luck). Moreover, for Manufacturers which are defined under the aforesaid Decision 79305 2020/27.07.2020
as the person or entity which manufactures (indicatively, studies, designs, assembles, produces, programs) and in any way makes
available to an Operator and/or Importer any Technical Means and Hardware, and has received a Suitability License by the HGC to this
end, as well as the person that holds a license for a Studio, Decision 79305, provides in Article 9 for Manufacturers Type A1
or Type A2 license, depending on whether the manufacturer provides management services to the Operator and in Article 10 for Importers/Distributors
(Type E1 or Type E2 license). Accordingly, manufacturers need to obtain a Suitability License Type A1 or A2, while importers/distributors
need to obtain a Suitability License Type E1 or E2.
As
regards online gaming, Articles 45 -52 of Law 4002/2011 (GG A 180/22.8.2011), which was recently amended by Law 4635/2019 (GG
A 167/30.10.2019), introduces several new provisions such as the two exclusive types of online licenses for online gaming operators:
a) Online Betting License; and b) a license for Other Online Games (it covers online casino games and online poker games and variants
thereof). Furthermore, Article 14 of the HGCs Decision 79835 2020/24.07.2020 (GG B 3265/05.08.2020)as amended
by 56604 2022 (GG B 2185/04.05.2022) and 67663 2022 (GG B 2483/20.05.2022) states that all
Manufacturers have to submit an application to the HGC, accompanied by the required compliance certificates, for the following elements:
i. the Gaming Platform (Betting Platform); ii. the Random Number Generator (RNG) per type/group of Games that the Manufacturer offer
to each License Holder; and iii. each individual game or multigame. Lastly, Suitability Licenses for suppliers are also divided into
two types: a) Manufacturers Suitability License and b) Importers/Distributors Suitability License (according to articles 9 and 10 of
Decision 79305 2020/27.07.2020 as amended & codified by 56580 2022 (GG B 2166/04.05.2022. Accordingly,
manufacturers need to obtain a Suitability License Type A1 or A2 (depending on whether the manufacturer provides management services
to the operator or not), while importers/distributors need to obtain a Suitability License Type E1 or E2.

business remains subject to extensive and evolving licensing, suitability, certification and regulatory approval requirements across
the jurisdictions in which we operate or supply technology. These requirements apply not only to the Company and its subsidiaries, but
also to certain products and platforms, as well as to directors, officers, key employees, significant shareholders, beneficial owners
and other persons deemed by regulators to be key persons, associated persons, or controlling persons.
Gaming regulators in multiple jurisdictions have increased scrutiny of B2B technology suppliers, including enhanced
investigations into ownership structures, source of funds, financing arrangements, ultimate beneficial ownership, cross-border corporate
structures, and the suitability of investors and lenders. Regulatory authorities have also broadened the interpretation of what constitutes
a change of control or material change, potentially capturing share repurchase programs, refinancings, board
changes, internal restructurings, or minority shareholdings that were not previously considered approval-triggering events.
Our
ability to operate, expand into new markets, launch new products, complete acquisitions, refinance indebtedness or implement corporate
transactions may depend on obtaining, maintaining, renewing or transferring licenses, registrations, certifications or other regulatory
clearances. Regulatory authorities retain broad discretion in granting, conditioning, delaying, suspending or revoking approvals and
may impose additional operational, compliance, reporting, capital or governance obligations as a condition of licensure.
Failure
to obtain or maintain required approvals whether due to evolving regulatory standards, enhanced suitability reviews, adverse
findings relating to key persons or shareholders, delays in approval processes, compliance deficiencies, customer-related regulatory
issues, or changes in law or regulatory policy could result in fines, penalties, license suspension or revocation, limitations
on our ability to supply products in certain jurisdictions, contractual terminations, forced divestitures, required changes in management
or ownership, or reputational harm.
In
addition, regulators may require the removal or replacement of directors, officers, employees, shareholders or financing sources deemed
unsuitable, or may prohibit or unwind transactions involving changes in ownership or control. Increased cross-jurisdictional regulatory
cooperation and information sharing may heighten the risk that issues arising in one jurisdiction could adversely impact our approvals
or operations in others. Any such developments could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations
and growth strategy.
In
a number of jurisdictions, our stockholders may be required to undergo a suitability investigation similar to that described above. Such
jurisdictions require any person who acquires beneficial ownership of more than a certain percentage of our voting securities (typically
5%) to report the acquisition to relevant gaming authorities and may be required to apply for qualification or a finding of suitability.
A number of gaming authorities, however, also allow an institutional investor to apply for a waiver.
**Content
Development**
We continually
invest in new product development in each of our Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive and Leisure business segments. Inspired has a full
stack game development structure, combining its proprietary technology frameworks together with some of the industrys: best math,
art, creative and production personnel spread across 3 game studios. We release over 100 games variants each year onto our own priority
gaming system, Interactive Remote Gaming Server (RGS) and to our G2S clients around the world in markets such as North America,
UK, Brazil, Greece, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Sweden and more. Whilst many of our game launches are omni-channel, we have a focus on building
the right game for the right market and take pride in tweaking modifying the math and themes for the target player. Joining our slot and
tables games we have our award-winning Hybrid Dealer product. Featuring innovative table and game show themes, utilizing a mixture of
CGI and real dealer footage to bring the player a live like experience. Hybrid Dealer is currently live with tier 1 Interactive customers
in the US, UK, Canada and Brazil
In Virtual Sports, we
combine graphical assets betting market mathematics, proprietary scheduling and software allowing us to generate virtual sports
markets and results for all our B2B customers. In addition, our VPP (Virtuals Plug and Play) product range leverages our award
winning Virtuals assets, along with our RGS (remote gaming server) to produce our Virtuals Sportsbook in a box
product. VPP allows our customers to operate our Virtuals Sports products without their own sportsbook. We account for our
development costs as software development costs, and these are typically amortized over a two to four-year period.
****
**Suppliers**
Our
principal supply arrangements concern the supply of our terminals, terminals components, content provision, license holders (branded
properties), and outsourced labor. We work closely with our key suppliers to ensure a high level of quality of goods and services is
obtained and have worked with many of these suppliers for many years. We have achieved significant cost savings through centralization
of purchases.
**Customers**
Our
customer base includes regulated operators of lotteries, licensed sports bookmakers, operators of licensed betting offices, gaming and
bingo halls, casinos, pubs, adult gaming centers and regulated online operators. We typically implement design and content
variations to customize their terminals and player experiences. Our license agreements with customers for the provision of machines,
content and Virtual Sports products include provisions to protect our intellectual property rights in our games and other content.
*Customer
Contracts Gaming*
Our
contracts in the Gaming segment involve supplying gaming terminals and licensing gaming software and games for use and operation in conjunction
with the terminals. We supply the terminals on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis on a per customer or per location basis. Under these
contracts, we have general obligations to deliver, install, upgrade and service the terminals and software. The contracts may be terminated
early in various circumstances such as if we fail to meet performance targets in servicing the machines.
| 12 | |
Under
some contracts, we receive an upfront fee for the provision of the terminals, we may supply them on a finance lease basis and we may
also generate revenue as a percentage of income generated on terminals. With our participation-driven business model, approximately
94% of service revenue for our Gaming segment is recurring in nature and derived under long-term
contracts that are typically between three and five years (although may be shorter for contract extensions). Major contracts have
been renewed over the past three (3) years and we have also onboarded new customers.
*Customer
Contracts Virtual Sports*
Our
contracts in the Virtual Sports segment typically involve the supply of licenses to operators to make available, either via online or
retail channels, virtual sporting events such as horse racing, soccer, football, darts, cricket, or basketball, and to enable end-users
to place bets on these events. These are typically one-time non-exclusive licenses specific to the virtual sporting event. We may agree
to customize and brand the virtual sporting events for the operator or to provide language variations of the event. The contracts may
be terminated early in various circumstances, including, for example, if the operator fails to pay an invoice within 60 days of receipt.
Our
Virtual Sports products are typically offered to operators on a participation basis, whereby we receive a royalty for a portion of the
gaming revenue generated, plus an upfront software license fee and a hosting fee. With our participation-driven business model, our Virtual
Sports segment produces approximately 99% of total revenue on a recurring basis under long-term contracts that average three to four
years when entered into and we have historically had a 100% renewal rate over the last three years for contracts that expired.
*Customer
Contracts Interactive*
Our
contracts in the Interactive segment vary but generally involve the provision of a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable
license to operators to display certain slot and casino content on which online bets are placed or to make our games available for play
by end-users of an operators online gaming business operations. A number of contracts have been concluded with aggregator platforms
to ensure wider distribution via the platform customers and a single integration, The contracts may be terminated early in various circumstances,
including material breach or inability to operate due to a change in regulatory status.
Our
Interactive products are typically offered to operators or platforms on a participation basis, whereby we receive a percentage of percentage
of net gaming revenue generated by reference to amount wagered on our content less winnings, agreed bonus deductions utilized in promoting
our content on the relevant platform, and any applicable gaming taxes. With our participation-driven business model, approximately 100%
of revenue for our Interactive segment is recurring in nature and derived under long-term contracts that averaged three years. Over the
last three years, we have renewed approximately 100% of these contracts for those customers that have continued to trade.
*Customer
Contracts Leisure*
Our
contracts in the Leisure segment vary but generally involve (i) agreement whereby the operator or proprietor of certain leisure resorts
contributes premises and we provide, on an exclusive basis, gaming and amusement terminals as well as gaming software and games for the
machines provided, (ii) contracts to supply gaming terminals as well as gaming software and games for the terminals provided to leisure
operators on a non-exclusive basis, and (iii) rental agreements, which we enter into with certain motorway services providers, whereby
we rent unit space in motorway service areas and populate this space with our gaming terminals.
Depending
on the contract type, we have general obligations to deliver, install, upgrade and service the terminals and software provided. These
contracts may be terminated early in various circumstances, including for material breach or insolvency events.
Under
our leisure contracts, we typically generate revenue on a participation-basis by participating, typically as a function of gross revenue
from each terminal, in a percentage of volumes generated by these terminals. With our participation-driven or fixed weekly fee business
model, approximately 100% of service revenue for our Leisure segment is recurring in nature and derived under long-term contracts that
are usually between three and five years. Over the last three years, within the Leisure segment we have successfully renewed or extended
some major contracts.

**Operations
and Employees**
Our
operations include game production, platform and hardware design, production, testing, and distribution; the maintenance, management,
and extension of our centralized network for product distribution and product monitoring; the delivery and, in certain circumstances,
maintenance of SBG terminals; gaming machine engineering, assembly, repair and storage; parts supply; change and release management;
remote operational services; problem management; business development; market account management; and general administration and management,
including Finance, Legal, People (Human Resources), Investor Relations, Marketing and Communications, Quality, Compliance and Information
Security.
As
of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 1,020 employees, approximately 920 of whom were full-time. Of those employees, approximately
470 were dedicated to delivering our digital gaming platforms, content and hardware and approximately 380 of our employees were involved
in UK field operations. Our management, sales and administration teams accounted for approximately 180 employees.
**Intellectual
Property**
Our
intellectual property consists principally of the propriety software we develop to operate our network and, in the design, and distribution
of our games. We depend upon agreements relating to trade secrets, confidential information and proprietary know-how to protect our rights
in this intellectual property. We require all our employees, contractors and other collaborators to enter into agreements that prohibit
the disclosure of our confidential information to other parties. In addition, it is our policy to require our employees, contractors
and other collaborators who have access to proprietary and trade secret material to enter into agreements that require them to assign
any and all intellectual property rights to us that arise as a result of their work on our behalf. We also require our employees to review
and acknowledge our intellectual property policies regarding how we handle intellectual property. These agreements, acknowledgements
and policies may not provide adequate protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any
unauthorized use or disclosure in violation of these agreements, and may not be sufficient to secure for us the value in such developments
that they are designed to secure.
We
also hold certain patents, trademarks, design rights and other intellectual property rights in respect of our game mechanics, products,
systems, web domains, and other intellectual property in Brazil, Canada, the U.S. and Europe. As of December 31, 2025, we held approximately
25 patents and approximately 390 trademarks worldwide. We also rely on certain products and technologies that we license from third parties.
Proprietary licenses typically limit our use of intellectual property to specific uses and for specific time periods.
The
terms of our intellectual property registrations vary based on the type of registration and the date and jurisdiction of filing or grant.
European and UK trademark registration lasts for 10 years but can be renewed indefinitely. European and UK design registration lasts
for five years but it can be renewed four times (giving a maximum total of 25 years of protection). European and UK patents can only
be renewed for up to 20 years. U.S. design patents expire 15 years from the date of grant, and the term of utility patents generally
expires 20 years from the date of filing of the first non-provisional patent application in a family of patents. The actual protection
afforded by a patent depends upon the type of patent, the scope of its coverage and the availability of legal remedies in the applicable
country.
**Competition**
We
operate in a highly competitive industry, and in highly competitive business segments. We face competition from a number of worldwide
businesses, many of which have substantially greater financial resources and operating scale. Such competition could adversely
affect our ability to win new contracts and sales and renew existing contracts. We operate in a period of intense price-based competition
in some key sectors, which could affect the profitability of the contracts and sales we do win. In certain sectors, our businesses also
face competition from suppliers, operators or licensees who offer products for internet gaming in illegal or unregulated sectors, but
are still able or permitted to supply products and compete with us in regulated sectors. These competitors often have substantially greater
financial resources and operating scale than we do. Some larger competitors hold long term contracts which control access points for
some of our products and this may mean we must contract with those competitors rather than directly with the customer to provide our
products. Our principal competitors include, among others, certain businesses that have vertically integrated gaming machine and retail
betting operations and businesses that operate in both regulated and unregulated sectors and thereby effectively subsidize their regulated
operations with unregulated operations.

**ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS.**
*Our
business is subject to a high degree of risk. You should carefully read and assess our discussion of the risk factors facing our
business, below. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition and
prospects, and cause the value of our common stock to decline, which could cause investors in our common stock to lose all or part
of their investments. These disclosures reflect our beliefs and opinions as to factors that could
materially and adversely affect us and our securities in the future. References to past events are provided by way of example only and
are not intended to be a complete listing or a representation as to whether or not such factors have occurred in the past or their likelihood
of occurring in the future.*
**Summary
of Risk Factors**
Our
business is subject to a number of risks, including risks that may prevent us from achieving our business objectives or may adversely
affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and prospects. These risks are discussed more fully below
and include, but are not limited to, risks related to the following:
| 
| 
| 
During the year ended December 31, 2025, except for
the items mentioned in Item 9A, management has successfully remediated previously identified material weaknesses through (i) hiring additional
qualified accounting and SOX personnel, (ii) implementing new financial systems and enhancing system configurations, (iii) designing
and implementing new and enhanced process-level controls across all significant financial reporting cycles, (iv) enhancing documentation
of U.S. GAAP accounting policies and procedures, (v) strengthening management review controls and evidentiary standards, (vi) implementing
and testing IT change management and logical access controls across in-scope applications; and (vii) establishing a formalized SOX testing
and monitoring program. Notwithstanding this progress, and managements expectation that all identified material weaknesses will
be remedied in the year ending December 31, 2026, failure to remediate these material weaknesses or any other material weaknesses that
we identify in the future could result in material misstatements in our financial statements. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Particularly
in our Virtuals business, we rely on a relatively small number of customers for a significant portion of our sales, and the loss
of, or material reduction in, sales to any of our top customers could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
financial condition and prospects. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
We
are dependent on our relationships with key suppliers to obtain equipment and other supplies for our business on acceptable terms. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
We
operate in a highly competitive industry and our success depends upon our ability to effectively compete with numerous worldwide
businesses. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
One
of the major risks to our business is the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by malicious actors. AI-powered bots
can imitate human players in online gambling platforms, potentially undermining the fairness and integrity of games. These bots can
be programmed to try and exploit vulnerabilities in a gambling platforms security infrastructure, can launch advanced phishing
attacks, malware, and ransomware, and pose a significant threat to the security of online gambling platforms. These attacks can lead
to substantial financial losses, compromise game, financial or user data, and damage the companys reputation. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Data
privacy and security laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we do business could increase the cost of our operations
and subject us to possible sanctions and other penalties. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Our
results of operations fluctuate due to seasonality and other factors and, therefore, our periodic operating results are not guarantees
of future performance. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Our
industry is subject to strict government regulations that could limit our existing operations and have a negative impact on our ability
to grow. A majority of our income is generated through the licensing and supply of software and technology to B2C operators. Our
business is therefore highly dependent on the laws and regulations relating to the supply of gaming services, which laws and regulations
are complex and inconsistent across jurisdictions and are subject to change. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Our
industry is subject to regulations that set parameters for levels of gaming or wagering duty, tax, stake, prize and return to player. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Our
ability to provide our software to gaming operators depends upon the integrity, reliability and operational performance of our systems,
games and products. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Because
tax laws and regulations are subject to interpretation and uncertainty, tax payments may ultimately differ from amounts currently
recorded by us. Our operations in non-European markets means withholding taxes are payable on royalty, interest and/or dividend which
may impact cash flow and/or profitability; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
We
may be adversely affected by disruptions to our transaction gaming and lottery systems, as well as disruptions to our internal enterprise
and information technology systems. | |
| 15 | |
| 
| 
| 
Our
directors and key personnel are subject to the approval of certain regulatory authorities, which, if withheld, would require us to
sever our relationship with non-approved individuals, which could adversely impact our operations. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Licensing
and gaming authorities have significant control over our operations and ownership and could cause us to redeem certain stockholders
on potentially disadvantageous terms. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Certain
of our executive officers and directors could be affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those conducted
by us in the future and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining whether a particular business opportunity should
be presented to us or to another entity. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
We
have operations and assets in a variety of countries, which subjects us to additional geopolitical risks. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
Our
business was capital intensive and our ability to retain customers may be influenced by our ability to deploy additional capital. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
may be unable to develop sufficient new products and product lines and integrate them into our existing business, which may adversely
affect our ability to compete our expansion into new sectors may present competitive and regulatory challenges that differ
from current ones. | |
| 
| 
| 
We
may be required to recognize impairment charges related to goodwill, identified intangible assets and property and equipment or to
take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition,
results of operations and stock price, which could have an adverse effect on the Companys net assets. | |
| 
| 
| 
Volatility
or disruption in the financial markets could materially adversely affect our business and the trading price of our common stock. | |
| 
| 
| 
Global
economic conditions could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. | |
**Risks
Relating to Our Business and Industry**
**We
have identified material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting which we
are working to remediate. Failure to remediate these material weaknesses or any other material weaknesses that we identify in the future
could result in material misstatements in our financial statements.**
We
have identified material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. A material
weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis. During the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the items mentioned in Item 9A, management has successfully remediated previously
identified material weaknesses through (i) hiring additional qualified accounting and SOX personnel, (ii) implementing new financial
systems and enhancing system configurations, (iii) designing and implementing new and enhanced process-level controls across all significant
financial reporting cycles, (iv) enhancing documentation of U.S. GAAP accounting policies and procedures, (v) strengthening management
review controls and evidentiary standards, (vi) implementing and testing IT change management and logical access controls across in-scope
applications; and (vii) establishing a formalized SOX testing and monitoring program. Notwithstanding this progress, and managements
expectation that all identified material weaknesses will be remedied in the year ending December 31, 2026, failure to remediate these
material weaknesses or any other material weaknesses that we identify in the future could result in material misstatements in our financial
statements.
Pursuant
to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management is required to assess, and our independent registered public accounting
firm is required to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Compliance with Section 404 requires
significant documentation, testing and ongoing evaluation of our control environment. If we fail to maintain effective internal control
over financial reporting, we may be unable to conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
| 16 | |
Our
control environment is inherently complex due to the multi-jurisdictional nature of our operations, including varying gaming tax regimes,
statutory levies, withholding taxes, transfer pricing considerations and evolving regulatory requirements across multiple territories.
In addition, a significant portion of our revenue is derived from revenue-share and performance-based arrangements, which require complex
calculations tied to customer gross gaming revenue, tax deductions, contractual adjustments and system integrations. The accounting for
such arrangements under U.S. GAAP involves significant judgment, estimation and reliance on data received from customers and third-party
platforms. Changes in tax interpretation, regulatory frameworks, contract modifications or system integrations may increase the risk
of error if not supported by effective controls.
Management
is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and is working towards achieving effective controls. Management anticipates
that the new controls, as implemented and when tested for a sufficient period of time, will remediate the material weaknesses. We may
not be successful in promptly remediating the material weaknesses identified by management, or be able to identify and remediate additional
control deficiencies, including material weaknesses, in the future. Failure to remediate existing material weaknesses, or the identification
of additional deficiencies in future periods, could result in material misstatements, restatements, delays in SEC filings, increased
audit costs, regulatory scrutiny or loss of investor confidence. Any such developments could materially and adversely affect our financial
condition, results of operations, access to capital and the market value of our securities.
**Particularly
in our Virtuals business, we rely on a relatively small number of customers for a significant portion of our sales, and the loss of,
or material reduction in, sales to any of our top customers could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial
condition and prospects.**
Certain
key customers, including certain UK, Italian and Greek gaming terminal customers and certain Virtual Sports customers, make a significant
contribution to our revenue and profitability. Our top ten customers generated approximately 48% of total revenue, however, no customers
generated more than 10% of total revenue in the year ended December 31, 2025. We expect that these customers will continue to represent
a significant portion of our sales in the future. However, the loss of any of our top customers, whether through contract expiry and
non-renewal, breach of contract or other adverse factors could materially adversely affect our revenue or return on capital and leave
us with surplus terminals. Moreover, if any of these customers experience reduced revenue, such reduction could adversely affect any
revenue-sharing arrangements we have with those customers, reduce our own revenue and adversely affect our financial results.
**We
are dependent on our relationships with key suppliers to obtain equipment and other supplies for our business on acceptable terms.**
We
have achieved significant cost savings through our centralization of equipment and non-equipment purchases. However, as a result, we
are exposed to the credit and other risks of a group of key suppliers. While we make every effort to evaluate our counterparties prior
to entering into long-term and other significant procurement contracts, we cannot predict the impact on our suppliers of the current
economic environment and other developments in their respective businesses. Insolvency, financial difficulties, supply chain delays or
other factors may result in our suppliers not being able to fulfill the terms of their agreements with us. Further, such factors may
render suppliers unwilling to extend contracts that provide favorable terms to us, or may force them to seek to renegotiate existing
contracts with us. In addition, our business has signed a number of significant contracts whose performance depends upon third party
suppliers delivering equipment on schedule for us to meet contractual commitments. Failure of the suppliers to meet their delivery commitments
could result in us being in breach of and subsequently losing those contracts. Although we believe we have alternative sources of supply
for the equipment and other supplies used in our business, concentration in the number of our suppliers could lead to delays in the delivery
of products or components, and possible resultant breaches of contracts that we have entered into with our customers; increases in the
prices we must pay for products or components; problems with product quality or components coming to the end of their life; and other
concerns.
**Disruption
of our supply chain or distribution capabilities have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.**
Our
ability to manufacture and ship machines is critical to our success. We are subject to damage or disruption to supplies of parts or
our manufacturing or distribution capabilities (in particular, to the extent that our parts are sourced globally) due to weather,
including any potential effects of climate change, natural disaster, fire, terrorism, adverse changes in political conditions or
political unrest, pandemic, strikes, labor shortages, freight transportation availability, disruption in logistics, import
restrictions, or other factors that impair our ability to manufacture or sell our machines. Failure to take adequate steps to
mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, adversely affect our
business, financial condition, and results of operations, as well as require additional resources to restore our supply chain. To
manage this risk, we have partnered with a key supplier to operate from shared locations in both the UK and the US. This
relationship has allowed our supplier to store 80% complete clone terminals which can easily be configured, into final products,
ready for sale with a significantly reduced delivery lead time. As terminals are completed, the clone terminal inventory is
replenished in order to maintain the shortest supply chain possible.
| 17 | |
**Our
results of operations could be adversely affected by labor shortages, turnover, and labor cost increases.**
****
Our
results of operations may be adversely affected by labor shortages, employee turnover and sustained increases in labor-related costs.
Inflationary pressures, increases in the UK National Living Wage, changes to employer National Insurance contribution requirements, and
tightening immigration and skilled worker visa policies have increased employment costs in the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions
in which we operate. Further fiscal measures or employment-related regulation could increase payroll taxes, pension obligations, statutory
benefits, or other employment costs.
Competition
for skilled personnel particularly in software engineering, cybersecurity, data analytics, artificial intelligence, compliance,
regulatory affairs and gaming technology remains intense both within the gambling industry and across broader technology sectors.
As a result, we have experienced upward pressure on compensation, recruitment costs, retention incentives and equity-based awards. We
may be required to implement additional compensation adjustments, hiring incentives or restructuring initiatives to attract and retain
qualified personnel, which could materially increase operating expenses.
Labor
shortages or reduced workforce availability could impair our ability to develop and certify new products, maintain platform uptime and
service levels, meet customer implementation timelines, support regulatory compliance functions, or operate our service operations and
manufacturing facilities efficiently. In addition, higher turnover may result in loss of institutional knowledge, delays in product development,
reduced operational efficiency and increased training and onboarding costs.
Increased
labor costs may not be recoverable through pricing adjustments or contractual arrangements with customers, particularly under fixed-fee,
minimum guarantee or revenue-share contracts, which could adversely affect margins and profitability. Any sustained inability to attract,
retain or replace qualified personnel on commercially reasonable terms could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
****
**We
operate in a highly competitive industry and our success depends upon our ability to effectively compete with numerous worldwide businesses.**
We
face competition from a number of businesses, including worldwide businesses, many of which have substantially greater financial resources
and operating scale than we do, or which may operate in countries which have lower labor costs. Such competition could adversely affect
our ability to win new contracts and sales and renew existing contracts. We operate in a period of intense price-based competition in
some key sectors, which could affect the profitability of the contracts and sales we do win.
In
certain sectors, our businesses also face competition from suppliers, operators or licensees who offer products for internet gaming in
illegal or unregulated sectors but are still able or permitted to supply products and compete with us in regulated sectors. These competitors
often have substantially greater financial resources and operating scale than we do.
If
we cannot successfully compete in our industry and business segments, our business, results, financial condition and prospects could
suffer.
| 18 | |
**We
are heavily dependent on our ability to renew our long-term contracts with our customers and we could lose substantial revenue if we
are unable to renew certain of these contracts, or to renew them on substantially similar terms.**
Generally,
customer contracts in our Gaming, Virtual Sports and Interactive business segments are for initial terms of three to five years, but
longer in certain territories, with renewals at the customers option. Generally, our customer contracts within the Leisure business
segment are for terms of four to six years (although in certain cases they are longer), but certain customers have options for early
termination under certain circumstances or to reduce machine volumes in certain circumstances, and we may face pressure to renew or
upgrade terminals during the lives of these contracts, which could adversely affect revenue or our return on capital and leave us with
surplus terminals. At any given time, we have multiple substantial customer contracts that have years to run and others that may be nearing
expiration or renewal, which we may lose if we cannot compete effectively to retain their business.
There
can be no assurance that current contracts will be extended or that we will be awarded contract extensions or new contracts as a result
of competitive bidding processes or otherwise. The termination, expiration or failure to renew one or more of our contracts could cause
us to lose substantial revenue.
**We
could lose substantial revenue due to introduction or increase of gaming taxes, levies, withholding taxes and other local taxes.**
****
We
could lose substantial revenue or experience reduced profitability due to the introduction of, or increases in, gaming taxes, statutory
levies, withholding taxes, digital services taxes and other local or cross-border fiscal measures.
Our
business is indirectly and, in certain cases, directly exposed to changes in gaming tax regimes and related fiscal policies in the jurisdictions
in which our customers operate or where we supply products and services. Governments continue to reassess gambling taxation frameworks
in response to public policy considerations, fiscal pressures and increased regulatory scrutiny of the sector. Such reassessments may
result in higher headline tax rates, broadened tax bases, new statutory levies, increased enforcement activity, supplier registration
requirements, or the recharacterization of supplier revenues for tax purposes.
In
the United Kingdom, fiscal and regulatory developments through February 2026 have increased cost pressures across both remote and land-based
gaming channels. These include prior increases to Remote Gaming Duty and Remote Betting Duty, the implementation of the statutory levy
to fund research, prevention and treatment relating to gambling-related harm, and continued regulatory focus on affordability assessments,
product design and marketing restrictions. Further reform of UK gambling taxation, including potential restructuring or harmonization
of remote duty regimes, has been the subject of ongoing policy discussion and could result in additional fiscal burdens on the sector.
Land-based
operators in the UK have also faced compounding pressures, including increases in employment costs, employer National Insurance contributions,
National Living Wage requirements, property-related expenses and compliance costs. These factors may reduce customer profitability, accelerate
retail consolidation or shop closures, and constrain capital investment in new terminals, digital integrations and content procurement,
which could reduce demand for our products and services.
In
Brazil, the recently implemented federal sports betting and online gaming regulatory framework has introduced licensing requirements,
fixed concession fees and taxation based on gross gaming revenue. The regulatory and fiscal regime remains subject to ongoing clarification,
secondary regulation and potential amendment, including with respect to likely B2B licensing. The effective tax burden on licensed operators,
combined with state-level tax considerations, municipal service taxes and withholding obligations, may reduce operator margins and impact
their ability or willingness to enter into or renew commercial arrangements on existing terms. In addition, evolving interpretations
regarding the tax treatment of cross-border technology, intellectual property royalties, hosting services or platform fees may result
in additional withholding taxes, indirect taxes or local establishment risks for suppliers.
| 19 | |
A
significant portion of our contracts are structured on a revenue-share basis calculated net of gaming taxes, levies and similar charges.
Accordingly, increases in gaming duties, statutory levies or related fiscal costs borne by our customers generally reduce the gross gaming
revenue pool from which our revenues are derived and may compress our margins. Fiscal or regulatory changes may also cause customers
to renegotiate commercial terms, seek pricing concessions, delay product rollouts, reduce capital expenditures, consolidate operations
or decline to renew agreements.
Outside
the UK and Brazil, several jurisdictions have implemented or proposed increased gaming duties, digital services taxes, point-of-consumption
taxes, or withholding taxes applicable to cross-border technology or intellectual property payments. Tax authorities may also challenge
transfer pricing arrangements, permanent establishment positions, or the characterization of supplier revenues. Even where withholding
or indirect taxes are contractually recoverable, they may adversely affect cash flow, increase administrative complexity and give rise
to disputes.
The
scope, rate and application of gaming taxes, levies and related fiscal measures remain subject to change, including in certain cases
with retroactive effect. Any material increase in such taxes or levies, or changes in interpretation or enforcement, could adversely
affect customer profitability, reduce revenues under our revenue-share arrangements, increase compliance costs, and materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
**Our
ability to bid on new contracts may be dependent upon our ability to fund any required up-front capital expenditures through our cash
from operations, the incurrence of indebtedness or the raising of additional equity capital.**
Our
Gaming and, to a much lesser degree, our Leisure terminal contracts in the UK, Italy and Greece often require significant up-front capital expenditures for terminal
assembly, software customization and implementation, systems and equipment installation and telecommunications configuration. Historically,
we have funded these up-front costs through cash flows generated from operations and external borrowings. Our ability to continue to
procure new contracts, including in new jurisdictions, will depend upon, among other things, our liquidity levels at the time or our
ability to obtain additional debt or equity funding at commercially acceptable terms to finance the initial up-front costs. If we do
not have adequate liquidity or are unable to obtain other funding for these up-front costs on favorable terms or at all, we may not be
able to bid on certain contracts, which could restrict our ability to grow and have an adverse effect on our ability to retain existing
contracts and therefore on future profitability.
**Our
business depends on our ability to prevent or mitigate the effects of a cybersecurity attack.**
Our
information technology systems, and those of third-party service providers on which we rely, may be vulnerable to cybersecurity
incidents, including ransomware, malware, targeted attacks, data breaches or other security compromises. Such incidents have
occurred in the past and may arise from direct attacks against us or from breaches affecting third-party networks, and no system can
be guaranteed to be fully secure. A successful cyber incident could result in service interruptions, operational delays, loss or
unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or personal data, regulatory investigations, litigation, reputational harm and the loss of
customers, suppliers or business opportunities, while the costs to prevent, detect, mitigate or remediate such incidents could be
significant.
| 20 | |
Although
we continually take significant steps to mitigate cybersecurity risk across a range of functions, including those measures taken as a direct result of past such cybersecurity
incidents, such measures can never eliminate the
risk entirely or provide absolute security, and the Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience attempts at cyberattacks
on its information systems. While there have not been cybersecurity incidents or vulnerabilities that have had a material adverse effect
on the company, there is no assurance that there will not be cybersecurity incidents or vulnerabilities that will have a material adverse
effect in the future.
One
of the major risks to our business is the use of AI by malicious actors. AI-powered bots can imitate human players in online gambling
platforms, potentially undermining the fairness and integrity of games. These bots can be programmed to try and exploit vulnerabilities
in a gambling platforms security infrastructure, can launch advanced phishing attacks, malware, and ransomware, imitate human
players in online gambling platforms, potentially undermining the fairness and integrity of games, and pose a significant threat to the
security of online gambling platforms. These attacks can lead to substantial financial losses, compromise game, financial or user data,
and damage the companys reputation.
Detecting
fraudulent or malicious activity can be difficult. Although we have implemented measures intended to detect and reduce the occurrence
of fraudulent activities, including click fraud, we cannot guarantee that we will be fully successful in doing so. If we fail to detect
or prevent fraudulent or other malicious activity, it may result in dissuading sellers and customers alike from engaging with our products
and services. Any actual or alleged future fraudulent activity may damage our reputation, or diminish the value of our brand name, either
of which could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
**Our
business depends upon the protection of our intellectual property and proprietary information.**
We
believe that our success depends, in part, on protecting our intellectual property in the UK, the US, Brazil, Canada and in other countries
in which we operate. Our intellectual property includes certain trademarks relating to our systems, as well as certain patents, copyrights
in software and game content, trade secrets, proprietary algorithms and mathematical models, databases proprietary or confidential information
that may not be protected by registration. Our intellectual property protects the integrity, security and distinctiveness of our games,
remote gaming server platforms, systems, products and services, which are core to the regulated industries in which we operate. The scope
and enforceability of intellectual property rights vary by jurisdiction, and protection may be limited or unavailable in certain markets.
Competitors or third parties may independently develop similar or superior products, game mechanics, software, platforms or business
models, which could diminish the value of our intellectual property and competitive position.
We
rely on confidentiality, invention assignment and license agreements with employees, contractors, vendors and customers, and we restrict
access to proprietary information. These measures may not prevent unauthorized use, reverse engineering, misappropriation or copying
of our technology or business methods, and enforcing our rights globally can be costly and uncertain.
We
may be subject to claims that our games, software, platforms, mechanics, branding or other business activities infringe, misappropriate
or otherwise violate the proprietary rights of third parties. Intellectual property litigation in the gaming and technology sectors is
common and may involve patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade dress or trade secrets. Any such claims, whether meritorious or not, could
result in substantial legal costs, damages, injunctive relief, product redesign, loss of market access, contractual disruption or the
requirement to obtain licenses on unfavorable terms, if available at all. Adverse outcomes could also invalidate our proprietary rights
or impair our ability to operate in certain jurisdictions.
We
also license certain technologies, content and intellectual property from third parties. If such licenses are terminated, not renewed
or become unavailable on commercially reasonable terms, we may be required to modify or discontinue affected products or incur additional
development costs.
In
addition, we use open-source software components in certain products and systems. Open-source licenses may impose obligations, including
disclosure requirements or restrictions on use. Failure to comply with applicable license terms could require us to release proprietary
source code, re-engineer products, incur remediation costs or defend against claims. Any inability to adequately protect our intellectual
property, defend against infringement claims, comply with open-source obligations or maintain necessary licenses could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
| 21 | |
**Data
privacy, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence regulations could increase our costs and expose us to liability.**
****
Our
business is subject to numerous and evolving data protection, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence laws and regulations in the jurisdictions
in which we operate, including the EU GDPR, the UK GDPR, Brazils LGPD and various U.S. state privacy and data security laws. These
regimes govern the collection, storage, use, transfer and protection of personal data processed in connection with our products and services
and impose obligations relating to transparency, lawful processing, data subject rights, breach notification, vendor oversight and international
data transfers. Our personal data processing on behalf of our customers, as a supplier of games, content, technology and products is
limited.
Nevertheless,
international transfers of personal data remain subject to legal and regulatory scrutiny. While mechanisms such as adequacy decisions,
the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses currently permit certain cross-border transfers, these mechanisms
may be modified, invalidated or subject to additional safeguards, which could increase compliance costs or require changes to our data
processing arrangements.
We also
utilize limited artificial intelligence and automated analytics tools in certain aspects of our operations and are in the early stages
of exploring and implementing artificial intelligence technologies to enhance our cybersecurity capabilities and support product development
initiatives, with a clear goal to continue strengthening our cyber security posture. Importantly, we do not use AI to determine game outcomes
or to directly influence player results. All game determinations operate independently of AI systems, and our use of emerging AI technologies
is limited to security and product improvement functions, not gameplay or player behavior.
Nevertheless, regulatory frameworks
governing automated decision-making and AI systems are evolving, including in the EU and UK, and may impose additional compliance, documentation,
transparency or oversight requirements. Regulators may also scrutinize the use of analytics or profiling tools in regulated gaming environments.
Failure
to comply with applicable data protection, cybersecurity or AI-related requirements could result in regulatory investigations, administrative
fines (including under the GDPR of up to 4% of annual worldwide turnover or 20 million (or 17.5 million under the UK GDPR),
whichever is higher), litigation, contractual liability, operational disruption or reputational harm. Any material failure to maintain
appropriate data governance, security controls or regulatory compliance could materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
**Our
results of operations fluctuate due to seasonality and other factors and, therefore, our periodic operating results are not guarantees
of future performance.**
Our
revenues and operating results are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period due to the timing, size and mix of contracts,
product deployments and customer renewals. Equipment sales and certain software license revenues often reflect a limited number of large
transactions that may not recur on a predictable or annual basis. Accordingly, revenue and operating results may vary substantially based
on the timing of contract awards, regulatory approvals, product certifications, installations, renewals, customer capital expenditure
cycles and general economic conditions.
A
significant portion of our revenues is derived from revenue-share or performance-based arrangements tied to customer gross gaming revenue.
As a result, our revenues may fluctuate based on player activity, sporting calendars, jackpot cycles, regulatory changes affecting product
features or marketing, and other factors beyond our control. Changes in tax regimes, affordability measures or consumer protection rules
may also impact customer performance and, in turn, our revenues.
Our
business is also subject to seasonal trends in certain jurisdictions. For example, in markets such as Italy and Greece, revenue may decline
during summer months due to reduced consumer activity. Sporting schedules, holiday periods, weather patterns and tourism levels can also
affect seasonal performance across both remote and land-based channels.
In
addition, macroeconomic conditions, inflationary pressures, foreign exchange movements, retail shop closures, customer consolidation
and regulatory developments may affect customer investment decisions and spending patterns. Because our cost structure includes fixed
expenses relating to technology infrastructure, personnel and compliance, fluctuations in revenue may have a disproportionate impact
on operating margins.
As
a result of these and other factors, our quarterly or annual operating results may not be indicative of future performance and may vary
materially from period to period.
| 22 | |
**Our
industry is subject to strict government regulations that could limit our existing operations and have a negative impact on our ability
to grow.**
In
certain jurisdictions, forms of wagering, betting and lottery may be expressly authorized and governed by law and in other jurisdictions
forms of wagering, betting and lottery may be expressly prohibited by law. If expressly authorized, such activities are typically subject
to extensive and evolving governmental regulation. Gaming regulatory requirements vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Therefore,
we are subject to a wide range of complex gaming laws, rules and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we are licensed or may seek
to be licensed. Most jurisdictions require that we are licensed or authorized, that our key personnel and certain of our security holders
are found to be suitable or are licensed, and that our products are reviewed, tested and certified or approved before placement. If a
license, approval, certification or finding of suitability is required by a regulatory or national authority and we fail to seek or do
not receive the necessary approval, license, certification or finding of suitability, or if it is revoked, then we may be prohibited
from distributing our products for use in the respective jurisdiction. Additionally, such prohibition could trigger reviews of our Company
by regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions and adversely affect our ability to obtain or retain the required licenses and approvals
in those jurisdictions.
The
regulatory environment in any particular jurisdiction may change in the future, and any such change could have an adverse effect on our
results of operations or business in general. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the operation of SBG terminals, Video Lottery
Terminals or other Terminals, Virtual Sports betting, betting online, lottery or other forms of wagering systems will be approved, certified
or found suitable by additional jurisdictions or that those jurisdictions in which these activities are currently permitted will continue
to permit such activities in their existing forms (stricter regulations, including regulation relating to age verification, could come
into force which could have adverse impacts on the Company) or at all. While we believe that we have the means to continue to develop
procedures and policies designed to comply with and monitor the requirements of evolving laws, there can be no assurance that law enforcement
agencies, governmental agencies or gaming regulatory authorities, whether in existing or new jurisdictions, will not seek to restrict
our business or otherwise institute enforcement proceedings or other legal claims against the Company. Moreover, in addition to the risk
of such enforcement actions or claims, we are also at risk from loss of business reputation in the event of any potential legal or regulatory
investigation whether or not we are ultimately accused of or found to have committed any violations.
We
supply our products to operators of gaming venues, platforms and websites who typically must themselves be licensed by gaming regulators.
If any one of these operators fails to maintain its gaming licenses, or violates gaming laws or regulations, our business may suffer,
due to our loss of a viable customer and, in instances where we have a revenue-sharing arrangement with the operator, due to our loss
of our shares of the revenue generated by that operators business.
We
supply certain of our products to operators of gaming websites as well as to aggregators that provide content to other gaming operators
utilizing the internet to offer services. Despite warranties from counterparties in our contracts, there is some risk that our products
may be used by platforms or by customers who may take bets from customers in jurisdictions where no gaming laws or regulations exist
or even where the provision of online gaming is ineffectively regulated. Although the Company seeks to ensure that its content is available
through operators where online gaming is legal, if claims are made that any of those operators or software platforms are not operating
solely in jurisdictions where gaming is legal, the operators may be subjected to investigation or enforcement action by regulatory authorities.
An adverse determination could result in the operator being subject to penalties ranging from special conditions being applied to its
licenses, license suspension, license loss, or the operator otherwise withdrawing from or curtailing its activities in its sector or
being subjected to fines, penalties or other legal consequences. Any such developments could adversely affect such operators revenue
and have adverse effects on the Company, including loss of earnings from such operators or platforms, or the Companys ability
to operate in such jurisdiction or in other jurisdictions. The Company may also itself be subject to investigations or enforcement action
(if and to the extent that local laws or the laws of other jurisdictions in which the Company operates impose liability on suppliers
for the activities of the customers that they supply or for receiving funds that are deemed to be illegal because of such activities).
Although we attempt to protect ourselves against any such liability for the activities of the operators that we supply, including by
contractually requiring those operators to operate in accordance with all applicable laws, not to operate in certain territories and
only supplying operators whose activities have been reviewed to ascertain compliance with the requisite standards of regulatory and legal
compliance, nonetheless, there is a risk that we may fail to undertake sufficient due diligence, or fail to receive accurate information
on which to conduct due diligence. There is also a risk that there is a change in the operations by such operators, and a risk of lack
of appropriate oversight by aggregator platforms. Our good relationships with gaming regulators, and our compliance with gaming laws
and regulations is critical to our business. Any determination that we have, directly or indirectly, been engaged in unlawful activity
relating to gaming may adversely affect our standing with gaming regulators, and our ability to obtain and retain required licenses and
other approvals in such jurisdiction or other jurisdictions.
| 23 | |
We
may be required to obtain and maintain licenses and certifications from various state and local jurisdictions in order to operate certain
aspects of our business and we and our key personnel and certain security holders may be subject to extensive background investigations
and suitability standards. We may also become subject to regulation in any other jurisdiction where our customers are permitted to operate
in the future. Licenses and ongoing regulatory compliance can be costly. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain new
licenses or renew any of our existing licenses, and the loss, denial or non-renewal of any of our licenses could have an adverse effect
on our business. Generally, regulatory authorities have broad discretion when granting, renewing or revoking approvals and licenses.
Our failure, or the failure of any of our key personnel, systems or machines, in obtaining or retaining a required license or approval
in one jurisdiction could have a negative impact on our ability (or the ability of any of our key personnel, systems or gaming machines)
to obtain or retain required licenses and approvals in other jurisdictions. The failure to obtain or retain a required license or approval
in any jurisdiction would decrease the geographic area where we may operate and generate revenue, decrease our share in the gaming marketplace
and put us at a disadvantage compared with our competitors. In addition, the levy of substantial fines or forfeiture of assets could
significantly harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Some
jurisdictions also require extensive personal and financial disclosure and background checks from persons and entities beneficially owning
a specified percentage, typically 5%, of equity securities of licensed or regulated businesses. The failure of beneficial owners of our
common stock to submit to such background checks and provide required disclosure could jeopardize our business. In light of these regulations
and the potential impact on our business, our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for the prohibition of
stock ownership by persons or entities who fail to comply with informational or other regulatory requirements under applicable gaming
law, who are found unsuitable to hold our stock by gaming authorities or whose stock ownership adversely affects our ability to obtain,
maintain, renew or qualify for a license, contract, franchise or other regulatory approval from a gaming authority. The licensing procedures
and background investigations of the authorities that regulate our businesses and the proposed amendment may inhibit potential investors
from becoming significant stockholders or inhibit existing stockholders from retaining or increasing their ownership.
We
may be subject to disciplinary action if, after we receive notice that a person is unsuitable to be a stockholder or to have any other
relationship with us or any of our subsidiaries, we:
| 
| 
(i) | 
pay
that person any dividend or interest upon our voting securities, | |
| 
| 
(ii) | 
allow
that person to exercise, directly or indirectly, any voting right conferred through securities held by that person, | |
| 
| 
(iii) | 
pay
remuneration in any form to that person for services rendered or otherwise, or | |
| 
| 
(iv) | 
fail
to pursue all lawful efforts to require such unsuitable person to relinquish voting securities including, if necessary, the immediate
purchase of said voting securities for cash at fair market value. | |
Our
businesses are subject to a number of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing data privacy and security, including
with respect to the collection, storage, use, transmission and protection of personal information and other consumer data. Compliance
with data privacy and security restrictions could increase the cost of our operations and failure to comply with such restrictions could
subject us to criminal and civil sanctions as well as other penalties.
We
are subject to the provisions of the UK Bribery Act 2010, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws. The
UK Bribery Act generally prohibits giving a financial or other advantage to another person with the intention of inducing that
person to improperly perform a relevant function or activity. The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act generally prohibits U.S.
persons and companies and their agents from offering, promising, authorizing or making improper payments to foreign government
officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Certain of these anti-corruption laws also contain provisions that
require accurate record keeping and further require companies to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting
controls. Because a significant percentage of our revenue derives from foreign sources, and our business activities involve
continuing relationships with governmental regulators, there exists a risk that certain provisions of these anti-corruption laws may
be breached. We are also subject to anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing laws and regulations, and to economic and
trade sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in the U.S. relating to our ability to engage
in transactions with entities that are domiciled in countries or territories subject to comprehensive OFAC trade sanctions
(currently under extensive sanctions:, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, as well as others under targeted
sanctions programs), or that are included on OFACs list of Specially Designated
Nationals and Blocked Persons. Although we have policies and controls in place that are designed to ensure compliance with these
laws and sanctions regimes, if those controls are ineffective or an employee or intermediary fails to comply with the applicable regulations, we may be
subject to criminal and civil sanctions as well as other penalties. Any such violation could disrupt our business and adversely
affect our reputation, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We
are also subject to anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing laws and regulations, and to economic and trade sanctions programs
administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in the U.S. relating to our ability to engage in transactions with entities

in place that are designed to ensure compliance with these laws and sanctions regimes, if those controls are ineffective or an employee
or intermediary fails to comply with the applicable regulations, we may be subject to criminal and civil sanctions as well as other penalties.
Any such violation could disrupt our business and adversely affect our reputation, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
| 24 | |
We
review and develop our internal compliance programs in an effort to ensure that we comply with legal requirements imposed in connection
with our business activities. The compliance program is run on a day-to-day basis by our in-house legal department with compliance and
technical advice provided by our compliance managers and outside professionals. There can be no assurance that such steps will prevent
the violation of one or more laws or regulations, or that a violation by us or an employee will not result in the imposition of administrative,
civil and even criminal sanctions, monetary fines or suspension or revocation of one or more of our licenses.
****
**Our
industry is subject to regulations that set parameters for levels of gaming or wagering duty, tax, stakes, prize, technology certifications
and return to player percentages.**
In
most jurisdictions in which we operate or expect to seek to operate, the level of duty or taxation, the stakes, prizes and return to
player percentages of wagering, betting and lottery games and the speed at which players can participate in gaming, or technology certifications
are, or may be, defined by government regulations, according to each jurisdiction and remain subject to change. Those regulations may
also affect the premises in which gaming activities may take place (i.e., by limiting the number of gaming machines which may be housed
in a licensed gaming location, or by restricting the locations in which licensed gaming premises may be situated). Once authorized, such
parameters are subject to extensive and evolving governmental regulation. Moreover, such regulatory gaming requirements vary from jurisdiction
to jurisdiction. Therefore, we are subject to a wide range of complex gaming parameters in the jurisdictions in which we are licensed.
If a key parameter is changed, such as the level of taxation or duty or the maximum stake or prize or return to player of a game, then
it may be to the detriment of our business, financial condition, results and prospects or we may be unable to distribute our products
profitably.
**Our
business is subject to evolving technology, product certification and operational performance risks.**
Our
products and platforms are subject to regulatory certification, technical standards, testing and homologation requirements in the jurisdictions
in which they are deployed. Delays in obtaining or renewing approvals, failure to meet evolving technical standards, or withdrawal or
suspension of certifications could delay product launches, restrict market access or require costly modifications. In addition, our business
depends on the reliable performance, availability and scalability of our remote gaming servers, platforms, integrations and related infrastructure.
System outages, latency issues, data integrity errors, cybersecurity incidents, capacity constraints or integration failures could disrupt
customer operations, result in contractual penalties or reputational harm and subject us to regulatory scrutiny. We also rely on third-party
technology providers, including cloud infrastructure providers, hosting services, payment systems, data feeds, random number generators
and other software and hardware vendors. Disruptions, service failures, security breaches, contractual disputes or termination of such
third-party arrangements could impair our ability to deliver products and services.
Furthermore,
maintaining, upgrading or migrating legacy systems and addressing technical debt may require significant investment and could create
operational risk, delays or performance limitations. Any failure of our technology infrastructure or product certification processes
could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
**Our
business competes on the basis of the stability, security and integrity of our software, networks, systems, games and products.**
We
believe that our success depends, in significant part, on providing secure products and systems to our vendors and customers with high
levels of uptime, quality and availability. Attempts to penetrate security measures may come from various combinations of customers,
retailers, vendors, players, employees and others. Our ability to monitor and ensure quality of our products is continually reviewed
and enhanced. There can be no assurance that our business might not be affected by a security breach, virus, Denial of Service attack,
or technical error, failure or lapse which could have an adverse impact on our business.
Additionally,
we maintain a large number of games and terminals and jackpot systems, which rely on algorithms and software designed to pay out winnings
to players at certain ratios. Our systems, testing and processes to monitor and ensure the payout of games are continually reviewed and
enhanced and are additionally reviewed and tested by third-party expert test houses. There can be no assurance that our business might
not be affected by a malicious or unintentional breach or technical error, failure or lapse which could have an adverse impact on payout
ratios which would consequently have an adverse effect on our business in the form of lost revenue or penalty payments to players or
customers. Gaming regulators may take enforcement action against us (including the imposition of significant fines) where the payout
ratios fall below the ratios advertised to customers, or our software, networks, systems, games and/or products otherwise suffer from
technical error, failure or lapse.
****
| 25 | |
****
**We
may be adversely affected by disruptions to our transaction gaming and lottery systems, as well as disruptions to our internal enterprise
and information technology systems.**
Our
operations are dependent upon our transactional gaming, lottery and information technology systems. We rely upon such systems to manage
customer systems on a timely basis, to coordinate our sales and installation activities across all of our locations and to manage invoicing.
A substantial disruption in our transactional gaming, lottery and information technology systems for any prolonged time period (arising
from, for example, system capacity limits from unexpected increases in our volume of business, outages, computer viruses, unauthorized
access or delays in its service) could result in delays in serving our customers, which could adversely affect our reputation and customer
relationships and could result in monetary penalties pursuant to the terms of customer contracts. Our systems might be damaged or interrupted
by natural or man-made events or by computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, or similar disruptions affecting the Internet
and our disaster recovery plan may be ineffective at mitigating the effects of these risks. Such delays, problems or costs could have
an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
**Because
tax laws and regulations are subject to interpretation and uncertainty, tax payments may ultimately differ from amounts currently recorded
by the Company.**
We
are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes, in both the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. The determination
of the Companys worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities requires judgment and is based on diverse legislative
and regulatory structures that exist in the various jurisdictions where the company operates. The ultimate tax outcome may differ from
the amounts recorded in the Companys financial statements and may adversely affect the Companys financial results for the
period when such determination is made. Tax authorities may disagree with certain positions we have taken and assess additional taxes
via tax audit. We work with local tax experts to support our tax provisions in line with our tax strategy. However, there can be no assurance
that we will not be subject to challenge and the future outcome of any potential audits could adversely affect our results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.
**Environmental, social and governance,
responsible gambling and market perception risks could adversely affect our business.**
****
While the Company is not currently
subject to specific regulatory reporting or supervisory requirements relating to environmental, social or governance (ESG)
matters in either the United States or the United Kingdom, certain of the Companys customers and commercial partners periodically
request information regarding the Companys policies, practices and performance in areas such as environmental sustainability, governance
and corporate responsibility. These requests are typically made through customer due-diligence processes, supplier questionnaires or procurement
assessments. The Company responds to such requests on a case-by-case basis and continues to monitor evolving expectations in this area.
Although these inquiries do not presently constitute formal regulatory obligations, they may require management attention and the development
or enhancement of internal policies, procedures and reporting practices over time. Even as a B2B provider, adverse developments affecting
the broader gambling sector including a heightened focus on affordability, player protection, advertising restrictions or social impact
may indirectly impact our customers operations, profitability and demand for our products.
**Our
directors and key personnel are subject to the approval of certain regulatory authorities, which, if withheld, would require us to sever
our relationship with non-approved individuals, which could adversely impact our operations.**
Our
members, managers, directors, officers and key employees must be approved by certain government and state regulatory authorities. If
such regulatory authorities were to find a person occupying any such position unsuitable, we would be required to sever our relationship
with that person. We may thereby lose key personnel which would have a negative effect on our operations. Certain public and private
issuances of securities and certain other transactions by us also require the approval of certain state regulatory authorities. Further,
our gaming regulators can require us to disassociate ourselves from suppliers or business partners found unsuitable by the regulators.
The regulatory environment in any particular jurisdiction may change in the future and any such change could have an adverse effect on
our results of operations. In addition, we are subject to various gaming taxes, which are subject to change at any time.
| 26 | |
**Licensing
and gaming authorities have significant control over our operations and ownership, and could cause us to redeem certain stockholders
on potentially disadvantageous terms.**
Regulatory
authorities have broad powers to request detailed financial and other information, to limit, condition, suspend or revoke a registration,
gaming license or related approval and to approve changes in our operations. Some jurisdictions also require extensive personal and financial
disclosure and background checks from persons and entities beneficially owning a specified percentage of equity securities of licensed
or regulated businesses. For example, in the UK, an entity holding a gambling license must notify the Gambling Commission of the identity
of any stockholder holding, directly or indirectly, 3% or more of its equity or voting rights, and must apply for permission to continue
to rely on its operating license whenever a new person acquires, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of its equity or voting rights.
The failure of beneficial owners of our common stock to submit to such background checks and provide required disclosure could jeopardize
our business. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the extent required by the gaming authority
making the determination of unsuitability or to the extent the Board of Directors determines, in its sole discretion, that a person is
likely to jeopardize the Companys or any affiliates application for, receipt of, approval for, right to the use of, or
entitlement to, any gaming license, shares of our capital stock that are owned or controlled by an unsuitable person or its affiliates
are subject to mandatory redemption by us. The redemption price may be paid in cash, by promissory note, or both, as required, and pursuant
to the terms established by, the applicable gaming authority and, if not, as we elect. Such a redemption could occur on terms or at a
time that a stockholder believes to be disadvantageous.
**Changes
in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with, or liabilities under, any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business,
investments and results of operations.**
We
are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional, state and local governments, including non-U.S. governments. Compliance
with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and
their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have an adverse effect on our business,
investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied,
or liabilities thereunder, could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
**Certain
of our executive officers and directors may become affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those conducted
by us (or may enter into similar business activities in the future) and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in determining whether
a particular business opportunity should be presented to us or to another entity.**
Certain
of our executive officers and directors may become affiliated with entities that are engaged in businesses similar to the ones we operate
(or may enter into similar business activities in the future). As a result, any of them may become aware of business opportunities which
may be appropriate for presentation to us and to other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Accordingly,
they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented to us
or to another entity. These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor and a potential business opportunity may be presented to another
entity prior to its presentation to us. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest
in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in
his or her capacity as a director or officer of our Company and such opportunity is one that we are legally and contractually permitted
to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue.
****
**We
are a holding company and conduct all of our operations through our subsidiaries.**
We
are a holding company and derive all of our operating income from our subsidiaries. Other than any cash we retain, all of our assets
are held by our direct and indirect subsidiaries. We rely on the earnings and cash flows of our subsidiaries, which are paid to us by
our subsidiaries, if and only to the extent available, in the form of dividends and other payments or distributions, to meet our debt
service obligations. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments or distributions to us will depend upon
their respective operating results and may be restricted by, among other things, the laws of their jurisdiction of organization (which
may limit the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends and other distributions to us), the terms of existing and future
indebtedness and other agreements of our subsidiaries and the covenants of any future outstanding indebtedness we or our subsidiaries
incur.
| 27 | |
**Our
inability to identify, complete or successfully integrate future acquisitions could limit our growth and adversely affect our results.**
We
may pursue strategic acquisitions to expand our products, technology capabilities or geographic footprint; however, we cannot assure
that suitable opportunities will be available on acceptable terms or that we will obtain necessary financing, shareholder approvals or
gaming regulatory clearances, including change-of-control and suitability approvals across multiple jurisdictions. Acquisitions in the
regulated gaming industry involve significant risks, including integration challenges, regulatory delays, unforeseen liabilities, customer
or employee attrition, tax and compliance exposure, and failure to achieve anticipated synergies. Transactions financed with debt may
increase leverage, and those involving equity issuances may dilute existing stockholders. If we are unable to successfully identify,
complete or integrate acquisitions, our growth strategy, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely
affected.
**Our
business may be affected by changes in general and local economic and political conditions.**
The
demand for our services is sensitive to general and local economic conditions over which we have no control, including changes in the
levels of consumer disposable income and geographic exposure to macro-economic trends and taxation. In addition, the economic stability
of certain Eurozone countries where we conduct or intend to conduct business may become affected by sovereign debt crises or other general
and local economic and political conditions. Adverse changes in economic conditions may affect our business generally or may be more
prevalent or concentrated in particular sectors in which we operate. Any deterioration in economic conditions or the continuation of
uncertain economic conditions could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Other economic risks which may adversely affect our performance include high interest rates, inflation and volatile foreign exchange
markets, and effects arising from the UKs exit from the European Union (Brexit).
The
performance of our business may also be subject to political risks in certain jurisdictions where we operate, including change of government,
political unrest, war or terrorism.
**Our
revenue can vary substantially from period to period and you should not rely upon our periodic operating results as indications of future
performance.**
Our
revenues are subject to variations. Wagering equipment sales and software license revenue usually reflect a limited number of large transactions,
which may not recur on an annual basis. Consequently, revenue and operating results can vary substantially from period to period as a
result of the timing of major equipment sales and software license revenue. In addition, revenue may vary depending on the timing of
contract awards and renewals, changes in customer budgets and general economic conditions. Revenue may also vary based on adverse sequences
of payouts of prizes, unusual jackpot wins, and other variations in game margin.
Our
business could also be affected by natural or man-made disasters such as floods, storms or terrorist attacks. We have taken steps to
have disaster recovery plans in place but there can be no assurance that such an event would not have a significant adverse impact on
our business.
**We
have operations in a variety of countries, which subjects us to additional risks.**
We
are a global business and derived substantially all of our revenue outside the U.S. during the year ended December 31, 2025. In the year
ended December 31, 2025, we earned approximately 69% of our revenue from our operations in the UK, 9% of our revenue from our operations
in Greece, and 22% of our revenue from our operations in the rest of the world. Our business in foreign markets subjects us to risks
customarily associated with such operations, including:
| 
| 
| 
foreign
withholding taxes on, or bank regulatory restrictions on expatriating, our subsidiaries earnings that could reduce cash flow
available to meet our required debt service and other obligations; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the
complexity of foreign laws, regulations and markets; | |
| 28 | |
| 
| 
| 
the
impact of foreign labor laws and disputes; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
potential
risks relating to our ability to manage our foreign operations, monitor our customers activities or our partners activities
which may subject us to risks involving such other entities financial condition or to inconsistent interests or goals; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
gaming
tax increases; | |
| 
| 
| 
other
economic, tax and regulatory policies of foreign governments; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the
ability to attract and retain key personnel in foreign jurisdictions. | |
Our
consolidated financial results are significantly affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Foreign currency exchange rate
exposures arise from current transactions and anticipated transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars, and from the
translation of foreign currency balance sheet accounts into GBP-denominated or USD-denominated balance sheet accounts. Exposure to currency
exchange rate fluctuations exists and will continue because a significant portion of our revenue is denominated in currencies other than
the USD, particularly the British pound (GBP) and the Euro. Exchange rate fluctuations have in the past adversely affected
operating results and cash flows and may continue to adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows and the value of assets.
As
a result of the geographic concentration of our operations in the UK, Italy and Greece, our operating results and cash flow depend significantly
on economic conditions and the other factors listed above in these sector areas. There can be no assurance that we will be able to operate
on a continuing successful basis in these sectors or in any combination of different geographical sectors.
**Our
business could be negatively affected by ownership changes and consolidation in the gaming industry.**
Because
a substantial part of our revenue is recurring in nature, our medium to long term results of operations, cash flows and financial condition
could be negatively affected if any of our customers were sold to or merged with other customers, or if consolidation in the gaming industry
were otherwise affected. Consolidation among gaming operators could result in our customers using more products and services from our
competitors or reducing their spending on our products, or could otherwise cause downward pricing pressures, any of which outcomes could
negatively affect our business.
**We
may not be able to capitalize on the expansion of interactive gaming or other trends and changes in the gaming and lottery industries,
including due to laws and regulations governing these industries, and other factors.**
We
participate in new and evolving aspects of the interactive gaming and lottery industries. Part of our strategy is to take advantage of
the liberalization of regulations covering these industries on a global basis. These industries involve significant risks and uncertainties,
including legal, business and financial risks. The fast-changing environment in these industries can make it difficult to plan strategically
and can provide opportunities for competitors to grow their businesses at our expense. Consequently, our future results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition are difficult to predict and may not grow at the rates we expect.
Laws
relating to interactive gaming are evolving. To varying degrees, governments have taken steps to change the regulation of interactive
wagering through the implementation of new or revised licensing and taxation regimes, including the possible imposition of sanctions
on unlicensed providers. We cannot predict the timing, scope or terms of the implementation or revision of any such state, federal or
foreign laws or regulations, or the extent to which any such laws and regulations may facilitate or hinder our strategy.
In
jurisdictions that authorize interactive gaming, we cannot assure that we will be successful in offering our technology, content and
services to interactive gaming operators, because we expect to face intense competition from our traditional competitors in the gaming
and lottery industries as well as a number of other domestic and foreign competitors (and, in some cases, the operators themselves),
many of which have substantially greater financial resources or experience in this area.
| 29 | |
Know-your-customer
and geo-location programs and technologies supplied by third parties are an important aspect of certain interactive gaming products and
services, because they can confirm certain information with respect to players and prospective players, such as age, identity and location.
Payment processing programs and technologies, typically provided by third parties, are also a necessary feature of interactive wagering
products and services. These programs and technologies are costly, and our use of them may have an adverse impact on our results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition. Additionally, we cannot assure that products or services containing these programs and technologies
will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, or that they will perform accurately or otherwise in accordance
with required specifications.
**Our
business is capital intensive and our ability to retain customers may be influenced by our ability to deploy additional capital.**
Customers
of our SBG products may request us to incur capital expenditures to provide gaming terminals to support their land-based operations.
While we seek to obtain what we believe to be satisfactory rates of return on such investments, these capital expenditures can be meaningful
and may be concentrated within short periods of time. To the extent that we have insufficient access to capital or liquidity at the time
that a customer, or prospective customer, makes such a request, we may be at a competitive disadvantage in retaining or attracting such
customer. Such a circumstance could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
**Our
success depends on our ability to attract, retain and develop key personnel.**
Our
performance depends significantly on the continued services and contributions of our senior management, key technical specialists, game
designers, developers and other employees with expertise in regulated gaming technology, compliance and operations. The loss of one or
more key individuals, or the inability to attract, retain, develop and effectively replace qualified personnel in a competitive labor
market, could disrupt our operations, impair customer relationships, delay product development, weaken our strategic execution and adversely
affect our financial condition and results of operations. We compete with a broad range of companies, including large multinational technology
firms, for skilled personnel and may face upward pressure on compensation and retention incentives. Failure to implement effective succession
planning or to recruit and retain talent on commercially reasonable terms could adversely affect our growth, operational performance
and competitive position.
| 30 | |
**Restrictions
in our existing borrowings, including covenants set forth in our existing debt facilities, or any other indebtedness we may incur in
the future, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations, and our ability to make distributions
to stockholders and the value of our common stock.**
Our
existing borrowings, and any other indebtedness we may enter into, may limit our ability to, among other things:
| 
| 
| 
incur
or guarantee additional debt | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
make
distributions or dividends on or redeem or repurchase shares of common stock | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
make
certain investments and acquisitions | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
make
capital expenditures | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
incur
certain liens or permit them to exist | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
enter
into certain types of transactions with affiliates | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
acquire,
merge or consolidate with another company and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
transfer,
sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. | |
The
provisions of our existing borrowings may affect our ability to obtain future financing and pursue attractive business opportunities
and our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in business conditions.
As
of December 31, 2025, our senior debt consisted of an aggregate of 270.0 million ($363.2 million) of Senior Notes, which
carry an interest rate per annum equal to the Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) rate *plus* a margin
(based on the Companys consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio) ranging from 5.50% to 6.00% per annum and mature on
June 9, 2030 (five years from the date of issuance), in addition to credit facility borrowings available under a secured revolving
facility (the RCF Agreement), in an original principal amount of 17.8 million ($23.9 million) under which, as
of the Closing Date of June 9, 2025, the Issuer is able to draw funds. The RCF Agreement will terminate on December 9, 2029 (54 months from the
Closing Date). (see Note 13 to our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included elsewhere in this
Report).
The
Notes Purchase Agreement governing the Senior Notes contains incurrence covenants that limit the ability of DMWSL 631 Limited (the Financing
Parent) and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional debt and issue certain preferred
stock of restricted subsidiaries; (ii) create or incur certain liens; (iii) make restricted payments, including dividends or distributions
to the Financing Parents stockholders or repurchase the Financing Parents stock; (iv) prepay or redeem subordinated debt;
(v) make certain investments, including participating joint ventures; (vi) sell assets, or consolidate or merge with or into other companies;
(vii) sell or transfer all or substantially all of the Financing Parents assets or those of the Financing Parents subsidiaries
on a consolidated basis; and (viii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates.
The
Notes Purchase Agreement requires that the Financing Parent maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 5.00x
on the test date for the relevant period ended September 30, 2025, stepping down to 4.75x on June 30, 2027 and thereafter (the Senior
Secured Notes Financial Covenant). The Senior Notes Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured
net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income
and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis.
The Notes Purchase Agreement does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants.
The
RCF Agreement governing credit facility borrowings contains various covenants (which include restrictions regarding the incurrence of
liens, the incurrence of indebtedness by the Financing Parents subsidiaries and fundamental changes, subject in each case to certain
exceptions), representations, warranties, limitations and events of default (which include non-payment, breach of obligations under the
financing documents, cross-default, insolvency and litigation) customary for similar facilities and subject to customary carve-outs and
grace periods. Following the occurrence of an event of default which has not been waived or remedied, the Lenders who represent more
than 50% of total commitments under the RCF may, subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement (which governs the relationship between
the Lenders and the holders of the Senior Notes), instruct the agent to (i) accelerate the RCF Loans, (ii) instruct the security agent
to enforce the transaction security and/or (iii) exercise any other remedies available to the Lenders.
| 31 | |
The
RCF Agreement requires that the Financing Parent maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 5.50x on the test
date for the relevant period ended September 30, 2025, stepping down to 5.25x on June 30, 2027 and thereafter (the RCF Financial
Covenant). The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma
EBITDA (defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the
12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis. The RCF Agreement does not
include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants.
**We
may have future capital needs and may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms.**
Economic
and credit market conditions, the performance of the gaming industry and our financial performance, as well as other factors, may constrain
our financing abilities. Our ability to secure additional financing, if available, and to satisfy our financial obligations under indebtedness
outstanding from time to time will depend upon our future operating performance, the availability of credit, economic conditions and
financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
We
may require additional financing to fund our operations and growth. The failure to secure additional financing could have an adverse
effect on our continued development or growth. None of our officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide any financing to
us.
**We
may be unable to identify and develop sufficient new products and product lines and integrate them into our existing business, which
may adversely affect our ability to compete our expansion into new sectors may present competitive and regulatory challenges that
differ from current ones.**
Our
business depends in part on our ability to identify and develop future products and product lines that complement existing products and
product lines and that respond to our customers and players needs. We may not be able to compete effectively unless our
product selection keeps up with trends in the sectors in which it competes or trends in new products. If our new products and product
lines do not meet our customers and players expectations, or if they are not brought to market in a timely and effective
manner, our revenue (especially our revenue under revenue participation-based contracts) and financial performance will be negatively
affected. In addition to market factors, our ability to develop new products and their ability to achieve commercial success will depend
on a number of factors, including our ability to:
| 
| 
| 
effectively
market our games to our customers and to existing and new players; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
adapt
to changing customer needs and player preferences; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
adapt
to new technologies; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
adapt
game features and contents for an increasingly diverse set of devices and specifications; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
minimize
launch delays and cost overruns on the development of new products and features; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
expand
and enhance games and content after their initial release; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
attract,
retain and motivate talented and experienced game designers, product managers and engineers; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
achieve
and maintain player engagement; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
develop
games that can build upon or become franchise games; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
maintain
quality content and game experience; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
compete
successfully against a large and growing number of market participants; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
integrate
new products and product lines into our existing business; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
minimize
and quickly resolve bugs or outages. | |
| 32 | |
In
addition, if new technologies are protected by the intellectual property rights of others, including our competitors, we may be prevented
from introducing new products and product lines based on these technologies or expanding into sectors created by these technologies.
Even if we are able to develop new products and product lines that achieve success, it is possible that these products and product lines
could divert players of our other games without growing our overall user base, which could harm our operating results. Furthermore, the
success of new products and product lines will depend upon market demand and there is a risk that new products and product lines will
not deliver expected results, which could adversely affect our future sales and results of operations. It is difficult to know whether
we will succeed in continuing to develop successful new products and product lines.
Our
expansion into new sectors may present competitive, distribution and regulatory challenges that differ from current ones. We may be less
familiar with new product categories and may face different or additional risks, as well as increased or unexpected costs, compared to
existing operations.
**Changes
in customer and player preferences could adversely affect our results of operations.**
Competition
in the gaming industry is intense and subject to rapid change, including changes from evolving customer and player preferences. Accordingly,
our success in the gaming industry is dependent on our ability to offer attractive products to our customers and players. In the markets
in which we operate, we compete with various other gaming vendors and our customers and players now have access to many other forms of
recreational and leisure activities. Our participation-based revenue will depend on the appeal of our gaming offerings to our customers
and players relative to our competitors. If we are not able to anticipate and react to changes in customer and player preferences, our
competitive and financial position may be adversely affected.
In
addition, our future success will also depend on the success of the gaming industry as a whole in attracting and retaining players. Gaming
may lose popularity as new leisure activities arise or as other leisure activities become more popular. Alternatively, changes in social
habits, preferences and demographics could result in reduced acceptance of gaming as a leisure activity. If the popularity of gaming declines for any
reason, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
****
**Our
financial success is dependent on our customers ability to attract and maintain players.**
We
have a participation-driven business model, whereby a significant amount of our revenue is generated from the gaming revenue of our customers,
typically as a percentage of gross revenue. Accordingly, our results of operation and financial condition have been and are expected
to continue to be influenced by the ability of our customers to attract and maintain players. The ability of our customers to attract
and maintain players depends on a number of factors, including player gaming preferences, marketing of our products and player perceptions
of our customers. If we are unable to provide our customers with products that players find engaging or fail to perform our obligations
in maintaining the products we provide to our customers, players may reduce the amount they spend with our customers, which in turn may
have an adverse effect on our results of operations (see *We may be unable to identify and develop sufficient new products
and product lines and integrate them into our existing business, which may adversely affect our ability to compete our expansion
into new sectors may present competitive and regulatory challenges that differ from current ones*.). Under most of our contracts,
our customers are under no obligation to market our products and therefore we are dependent on our customers in promoting our products
to maintain and attract players. Failure by our customers to effectively market our products may result in decreased gaming revenue for
our customers from our products, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Player perception of our customers may
also impact the willingness of players to engage with our customers, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our results of operation.

**Risks
Relating to Our Status as a Public Company and Ownership of Our Common Stock**
**We
may be required to recognize impairment charges related to goodwill, identified intangible assets and property and equipment or to take
write-downs or write-offs, restructuring or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results
of operations and stock price, which could have an adverse effect on our common stock and your investment.**
We
are required to test goodwill and any other intangible asset with an indefinite life for possible impairment on the same date each year
and on an interim basis if there are indicators of a possible impairment. We are also required to evaluate amortizable intangible assets
and property and equipment for impairment if there are indicators of a possible impairment. There is significant judgment required in
the analysis of a potential impairment of goodwill, identified intangible assets and property and equipment. If, as a result of a general
economic slowdown, deterioration in one or more of the sectors in which we operate or impairment in our financial performance and/or
future outlook, the estimated fair value of our long-lived assets decreases, we may determine that one or more of our long-lived assets
is impaired. An impairment charge would be determined based on the estimated fair value of the assets and any such impairment charge
could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Even
though these charges may be non-cash items and would not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of
this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about the Company or our securities. In addition, charges of this nature
may cause us to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all.
**The
liquidity of the trading markets for our securities and other factors may adversely affect the price of our securities.**
The
price of our securities may be affected by the light volume of the trading markets for our securities as well as a variety of other factors
including due to general economic conditions and forecasts, our general business condition and the release of our financial reports.
If our results do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of our securities may decline. In addition,
fluctuations in the price of our securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Any of the factors listed
below could have an adverse effect on the price of our securities, and our securities may trade at prices significantly below the price
you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of our securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.
Factors
affecting the trading price of the Companys securities may include:
| 
| 
| 
market
conditions affecting the gaming industry | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
quarterly
variations in our results of operations | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
changes
in government regulations | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the
announcement of acquisitions by us or our competitors | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
changes
in general economic and political conditions | |
|

| 
| 
| 
the
addition or departure of key personnel | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
actions
taken by our stockholders, including the sale or disposition of their shares of our common stock and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
differences
between our actual financial and operating results and those expected by investors and analysts and changes in analysts recommendations
or projections. | |
| 34 | |
Broad
market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock
market in general, and NASDAQ in particular, have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate
to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities,
may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors
perceive to be similar to the Company could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial condition or results
of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities
and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.
Depending
on the number of shares you hold and other factors, you may not be able to sell your shares at the times you prefer at desirable market
prices.
**We
do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock.**
We
do not currently expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock and have not paid cash dividends on our common stock to date. Any future
dividend payments are within the absolute discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our results
of operations, working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements, financial condition, level of indebtedness, contractual
restrictions with respect to payment of dividends, business opportunities, anticipated cash needs, provisions of applicable law and other
factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.
****
**Our
business and stock price may suffer if securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about the
Company, our business, or our sector, or if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock adversely, the price and trading
volume of our common stock could decline.**
The
trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about
us, our business, our sector, or our competitors. If securities or industry analysts do not continue to cover the Company, our stock
price and trading volume would likely be negatively affected. If any of the analysts who may cover the Company change their recommendation
regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our common stock
would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover the Company were to cease coverage of the Company or fail to regularly publish reports
on the Company, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
**We
may issue a significant number of shares of our common stock or other securities from time to time which could result in substantial dilution and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.**
We
may issue shares of our common stock or other securities from time to time as consideration for, or to finance, future acquisitions and
investments or for other capital needs. We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our shares or the effect, if any, that future
sales and issuances of shares would have on the market price of our common stock. If any such acquisition or investment is significant,
the number of shares of common stock or the number or aggregate principal amount, as the case may be, of other securities that we may
issue may in turn be substantial and may result in additional dilution to our stockholders. We may also grant registration rights covering
shares of our common stock or other securities that we may issue in connection with any such acquisitions and investments. The actual or perceived issuance or resale of these securities could cause
the market price of our common stock to decline significantly.
On May 17,
2021, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 covering
the offer and sale of up to $300.0 million of various securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants,
rights and units. Although this registration statement has expired, we may in the future file additional registration statements covering
similar securities. Any such future offerings, or the perception that we may conduct such offerings, could materially and adversely affect
the market price of our securities.

**Anti-takeover
provisions contained in our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law,
could impair a takeover attempt.**
Our
second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing
changes in control or changes in our management without the consent of our Board of Directors. These provisions include:
| 
| 
| 
no
cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the
exclusive right of our Board of Directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Board of Directors
or the resignation, death, or removal of a director with or without cause by stockholders, which prevents stockholders from being
able to fill vacancies on our Board of Directors | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
the
ability of our Board of Directors to determine whether to issue shares of our preferred stock and to determine the price and other
terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly
dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
limiting
the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
designating
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for adjudication of disputes; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
controlling
the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of stockholder meetings and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
advance
notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our Board of Directors or to propose matters
to be acted upon at a stockholders meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation
of proxies to elect the acquirers own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company. | |
These
provisions, alone or together, could delay or dissuade hostile takeovers and changes in control of the Company or changes in our Board
of Directors and management.
As
a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations
without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock. Any provision of our second amended and restated
certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit
the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock and could also affect the price that some
investors are willing to pay for our common stock.
**Risks
Relating to Economic and Political Conditions**
**Volatility
or disruption in the financial markets could materially adversely affect our business and the trading price of our common stock.**
Our
business relies on stable and efficient financial markets. Any disruption in the credit and capital markets could adversely impact our
ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms. Volatility in the financial markets could also result in difficulties for financial
institutions and other parties that we do business with, which could potentially affect the ability to access financing under existing
arrangements. We are exposed to the impact of any global or domestic economic disruption. Our ability to continue to fund operating expenses,
capital expenditures and other cash requirements over the long term may require access to additional sources of funds, including equity
and debt capital markets, and market volatility and general economic conditions may adversely affect our ability to access capital markets.
In addition, the inability of our vendors to access capital and liquidity with which to maintain their inventory, production levels and
product quality and to operate their businesses, or the insolvency of our vendors, could lead to their failure to deliver merchandise.
If we are unable to purchase products when needed, our sales could be materially adversely affected. Accordingly, volatility or disruption
in the financial markets could impair our ability to execute our growth strategy and could have an adverse effect on the trading price
of our common stock.
****

****
**Currency
exchange rate fluctuations could result in lower revenue, higher costs and decreased margins and earnings.**
We
conduct purchase and sale transactions in various currencies, which increases our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates globally. International revenue and expenses generally are derived from sales and operations in various foreign currencies, and
this revenue and these expenses could be affected by currency fluctuations, specifically amounts recorded in foreign currencies and translated
into USD for consolidated financial reporting, as weakening of foreign currencies relative to the USD will adversely affect the USD value
of the Companys foreign currency-denominated sales and earnings. Currency exchange rate fluctuations could also disrupt the business
of the independent manufacturers that produce our products by making their purchases of raw materials more expensive and more difficult
to finance. Foreign currency fluctuations could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We
may hedge other foreign currency exposures to lessen and delay, but not to completely eliminate, the effects of foreign currency fluctuations
on our financial results. Since the hedging activities are designed to lessen volatility, they not only reduce the negative impact of
a stronger USD or other trading currency, but they also reduce the positive impact of a weaker USD or other trading currency. Our future
financial results could be significantly affected by the value of the USD in relation to the foreign currencies in which we conduct business.
The degree to which our financial results are affected for any given time period will depend in part upon our hedging activities, and
there can be no assurance that our hedging activities will be effective.
**Global
economic conditions could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.**
The
uncertain state of the global economy continues to affect businesses around the world, most acutely in emerging markets and developing
economies. If global economic and financial market conditions do not improve or deteriorate, the following factors could have an adverse
effect on our business, operating results and financial condition:
| 
| 
| 
Slower
consumer spending may result in reduced demand for our products, reduced orders from retailers for our products, order cancellations,
lower revenue, higher discounts, increased inventories and lower gross margins; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
In
the future, we may be unable to access financing in the credit and capital markets at reasonable rates in the event we find it desirable
to do so; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
We
conduct transactions in various currencies, which increases our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relative
to the USD. Continued volatility in the markets and exchange rates for foreign currencies and contracts in foreign currencies could
have a significant impact on our reported operating results and financial condition; | |
| 37 | |
| 
| 
| 
Continued
volatility in the availability and prices for commodities and raw materials we use in our products and in our supply chain could
have an adverse effect on our costs, gross margins and profitability; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
If
operators or distributors of our products experience declining revenue or experience difficulty obtaining financing in the capital
and credit markets to purchase our products, this could result in reduced orders for our products, order cancellations, late retailer
payments, extended payment terms, higher accounts receivable, reduced cash flows, greater expense associated with collection efforts
and increased bad debt expense; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
If
operators or distributors of our products experience severe financial difficulty, some may become insolvent and cease business operations,
which could negatively affect the sale of our products to consumers; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
If
contract manufacturers of our products or other participants in our supply chain experience difficulty obtaining financing in the
capital and credit markets to purchase raw materials or to finance capital equipment and other general working capital needs, it
may result in delays or non-delivery of shipments of our products. | |
**International
hostilities, terrorist or cyber-terrorist activities, natural disasters, pandemics, and infrastructure disruptions could prevent us from
effectively serving our customers and thus adversely affect our results of operations.**
Acts
of terrorist violence, cyber-terrorism, political unrest, armed regional and international hostilities and international responses
to these hostilities, global health risks or pandemics, natural disasters such as cyclones and typhoons, or the threat of or
perceived potential for these events could have a negative impact on us. These events could adversely affect our customers
levels of business activity in certain areas (or involve government-mandated shutdowns of our customers and our venues) and
precipitate sudden significant changes in regional and global economic conditions and cycles. We generally do not have insurance for losses
and interruptions caused by terrorist attacks, conflicts and wars. If these disruptions prevent us from effectively serving our
customers, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
**ITEM
1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.**
None.
**ITEM
1C. CYBERSECURITY.**
The
Company maintains a governance structure to address cybersecurity risk, which involves a dedicated Information Security Team (the Information
Security Team), an Information Security Governance Board (the Information Security Governance Board), the Audit
Committee of the Board and the Board.
The
Companys Information Security Team, led by our Director of Information Security, is responsible for identifying, assessing, mitigating,
and reporting on material cybersecurity risks to the Companys Information Security Governance Board. The Companys Director
Information Security holds high-level licenses and certifications relating to information security, including being a Certified Chief
Information Security Officer and (C-CISO), Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and holding a Certificate
in Formation Security Management Principles (CISMP). The Companys Information Security Governance Board, chaired by the Companys
Director of Information Security and comprised of the General Counsel, the President & Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial
Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Product Officer and the Enterprise Risk Manager, drives awareness and alignment across broad
stakeholder groups for cybersecurity governance and risk management and reporting. The Information Security Governance Board receives
quarterly reports from the Companys Director of Information Security. The Audit Committee receives at least quarterly reports
from the Companys Director of Information Security. The Audit Committee periodically reports to the Board.
We
have implemented a risk-based approach to identify and assess the cybersecurity threats that could affect our business and information
systems. Our cybersecurity program is aligned with industry standards and best practices, such as ISO 27001. We conduct periodic risk
assessments to identify the potential impact and likelihood of various cyber scenarios, including those involving third-party service
providers, and to determine the appropriate mitigation strategies and controls. We use various tools and methodologies to manage cybersecurity
risk, including implementation of a business continuity process that includes a comprehensive Incident Response Plan and Procedure that
is reviewed on a regular basis. We also monitor and evaluate our cybersecurity posture and performance on an ongoing basis through
regular vulnerability scans, penetration tests, threat intelligence feeds, and external audits by an independent third party. The Company
maintains the ISO 27001 accreditation. We maintain a vendor onboarding program pursuant to-which third-party service providers with access
to personal, confidential or proprietary information to implement and maintain comprehensive cybersecurity practices consistent with
applicable legal standards and industry best practices. The Companys assessment of risks associated with use of third-party providers
is part of the Companys overall cybersecurity risk management program.
| 38 | |
The
Company also maintains a training program (Training Program), which is designed, implemented, and maintained by the Companys
Director of Information Security. This Training Program reinforces the Companys information technology risk and security management
policies, standards and practices, as well as the expectation that employees comply with these policies and engages personnel through
training on how to identify potential cybersecurity risks and protect the Companys resources and information, as well as how to
respond to unauthorized access to or use of Company information. The Training Program training is mandatory for all employees at least
annually, and it is supplemented by Company-wide assessment initiatives, including periodic phishing campaigns.
Although
we have designed our cybersecurity program and governance procedures above to mitigate cybersecurity risks, we face unknown cybersecurity
risks, threats and attacks. To date, these risks, threats or attacks have not had a material impact on our operations, business strategy
or financial results, but we cannot provide assurance that they will not have a material impact in the future. See the section entitled
Risk Factors included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further information. We continuously work to enhance our cybersecurity
risk management program.

7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**
*The
following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. Our actual future results could differ materially from the historical results discussed below. Factors that
could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the section
titled Risk Factors included elsewhere in this report.*
**Forward-Looking
Statements**
We
make forward-looking statements in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
For definitions of the term Forward-Looking Statements, see the definitions provided in the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements at the start of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025.
**Seasonality**
Our
results of operations can fluctuate due to seasonal trends and other factors. Sales of our gaming machines can vary quarter on quarter
due to both supply and demand factors. Player activity for the holiday parks is generally higher in the second and third quarters of
the year, particularly during the summer months and slower during the first and fourth quarters of the year. Following the sale of the holiday parks business this will no longer apply in future years.
**Revenue**
We
generate revenue in four principal ways: i) on a participation basis, ii) on a fixed rental fee basis, iii) through product sales and
iv) through software license fees. Participation revenue generally includes a right to receive a share of our customers gaming
revenue, typically as a share of net win but sometimes as a share of the handle or coin in which represents the total amount
wagered.
**Geographic
Range**
Geographically,
the majority of our revenue is derived from, and the majority of our non-current assets are attributable to, our UK operations. The remainder
of our revenue is derived from, and non-current assets attributable to, Greece and the rest of the world.
For
the twelve-months ended December 31, 2025, we derived approximately 69% of our revenue from the UK (including customers headquartered
in the UK but whose revenue is generated globally), 9% from Greece, and the remaining 22% across the rest of the world. For the twelve-months
ended December 31, 2024, we derived approximately 73% of our revenue from the UK (including customers headquartered in the UK but whose
revenue is generated globally), 7% from Greece, and the remaining 20% across the rest of the world.
As
of December 31, 2025, our non-current assets (excluding goodwill) were attributable as follows: 72% to the UK, 15% to Greece and 13%
across the rest of the world. As of December 31, 2024, our non-current assets (excluding goodwill) were attributable as follows: 75% to the UK, 8% to Greece and 17% across the rest of the world.
| 41 | |
****
**Foreign
Exchange**
Our
results are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of the translation of foreign functional currencies into
our reporting currency and the re-measurement of foreign currency transactions and balances. The impact of foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuations represents the difference between current rates and prior-period rates applied to current activity. The geographic
region in which the largest portion of our business is operated is the UK and the British pound (GBP) is considered to
be our functional currency. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (USD). Our results are translated from our functional
currency of GBP into the reporting currency of USD using average rates for profit and loss transactions and applicable spot rates for
period-end balances. The effect of translating our functional currency into our reporting currency, as well as translating the results
of foreign subsidiaries that have a different functional currency into our functional currency, is reported separately in Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Income.
In
the section Results of Operations below, currency impacts shown have been calculated as the current-period average GBP:USD
rate less the equivalent average rate in the prior period, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency (GBP).
The remaining difference, referred to as functional currency at constant rate, is calculated as the difference in our functional currency,
multiplied by the prior-period average GBP:USD rate. This is not a U.S. GAAP measure but is one which management believes gives a clearer
indication of results. In the tables below, variances in particular line items from period to period exclude currency translation movements,
and currency translation impacts are shown independently.
**Non-GAAP
Financial Measures**
We
use certain financial measures that are not compliant with U.S. GAAP (Non-GAAP financial measures), including EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance. In this discussion and analysis, we present certain Non-GAAP financial measures,
define and explain these measures and provide reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures. See Non-GAAP Financial
Measures below.
**Results
of Operations**
Our
results are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily between our functional currency (GBP) and our reporting
currency (USD). During the periods ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the average GBP:USD rates were for the twelve-month
period 1.32 and 1.28, respectively.
The
following discussion and analysis of our results of operations has been organized in the following manner:
| 
| 
| 
a
discussion and analysis of the Companys results of operations for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, compared
to the same period in 2024; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
a
discussion and analysis of the results of operations for each of the Companys segments (Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive
and Leisure) for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, including key performance
indicator (KPI) analysis. | |
In
the discussion and analysis below, certain data may vary from the amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements due to rounding.
For
all reported variances, refer to the overall company and segment tables shown below. All variances discussed in the overall company and
segment results are on a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, which excludes the impact of any changes in foreign currency exchange
rates.

**Key
Events**
In
the Gaming segment, during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, we completed the installation of the order placed in 2024
for 5,000 new Vantage terminals to William Hill venues. In the Greek market 4,000 new VLT terminals were delivered to OPAP completing
the order placed in the fourth quarter of 2024. In the Canadian market, 58 new Valor CS terminals were ordered and delivered to Alberta
Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC). 1,304 machines were sold in the UK market to customers including Bob Rudd, Essex Leisure,
Regal Ltd and other independent market customers.
In
the second quarter of the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, the Virtual Sports segment launched a new partnership with global
aggregation leader Aristocrat Interactive. Through this collaboration Inspired has gone live with the Virginia Lottery, delivering a
comprehensive suite of scheduled Virtual Sports games under the Inspired V-Lottery brand. Inspired also extended its long-term
partnership with William Hill in the third quarter of the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, introducing an enhanced Virtual
Sports experience and upgraded retail rollout. As part of the contract extension, Inspired will deliver a comprehensive upgrade to William
Hills Virtual Sports offering across its UK retail estate.
During
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, the total number of customers in the Interactive segment increased by 32 customers,
inclusive of attrition among several smaller customers. In addition, Inspired also expanded its Hybrid Dealer content footprint in
North America through the Caesars Palace Wheel of Wins rollout to Michigan and Ontario, following its successful launch in New
Jersey.
In
the Leisure segment, during the second half of the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, Inspired transitioned a number of pub
customers to a new operating model by refocusing on content and machine supply. On November 7, 2025 Inspired completed the sale of its
UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets (Genda Playnation Entertainment Ltd, previously registered
as Indigo Newco Limited). As part of the agreement, Inspired will provide gaming and content platform services, on a recurring
revenue basis to Genda Playnation Entertainment Ltd.
The
Company further considered ASC 205-20 and whether or not the disposal represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on
the Companys operations and financial results. An assessment was made from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective and
the Company concluded that the disposal did not represent a strategic shift. As such, the Company did not present the sale as discontinued
operations.
While the business previously conducted by Indigo NewCo Limited (now Genda Playnation Entertainment Limited) and
consisting of the UK B2C leisure business (holiday parks operations, the MSA Extra Operation the bowling centers, cinemas and other family
entertainment center operations and the Pet Tags operation) represented as at September 30, 2025, approximately 17% of Group revenue and
8% of Group EBITDA, it generated zero free cashflow as a result of capital reinvestment. The business described was primarily associated
with childrens amusement machines, which is contrary to the Companys strategy of developing digital gaming for adults. Based
on managements conclusion that the sale of this business represents a non-core part of the Companys strategy, in addition
to the Financial Accounting Standards Boards use of the word major in ASC 205-20-45-1C suggesting a relatively high
bar for a disposal to be considered a strategic shift on a quantitative basis, our analysis of both qualitative and quantitative factors
determined that the sale did not meet the definition of a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the operations or financial
results of the Company.
On
June 9, 2025 Inspired announced the completion of a private placement by its subsidiary of 270.0 million aggregate principal amount
of senior secured notes due 2030 (the 2030 Senior Secured Notes). In connection with the placement, certain of its subsidiaries
also entered into a new 17.8 million revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility), which replaced its
previous revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility was undrawn at December 31, 2025.
On
November 12, 2025, the Company entered into two interest swaps with Macquarie Bank Limited designed to protect the Company against adverse
fluctuations in interest rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows on the current floating rate debt facilities. The
swaps are effective from December 9, 2025, until maturity on December 9, 2027.
During
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, management identified the non-renewal of two significant customer contracts within
the pub sector as a potential indicator of impairment for the All-Other Leisure asset group (comprised of Pubs, MSA and Bingo)
within the Leisure segment under the long-lived asset guidance in U.S. GAAP. The two contracts collectively represented
approximately 33% and 24% of the All Other Leisure asset groups total revenue and EBITDA during the year ended
December 31, 2024. As a result of the identified triggering event, management performed a recoverability test for the affected asset
group as of August 1, 2025. Based on this analysis, the undiscounted estimated future cash flows exceeded the carrying amount of the
asset group; therefore, no impairment charge was recorded. Management will continue to monitor the segments performance and
customers relationships for potential future indicators of impairment.
During
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, management identified the reduction in trading levels within the Virtual Sports reporting
(as a potential indicator of impairment for the asset group under ASC 350). This was driven by materially lower volumes from a key customer
and growth in Brazil not meeting forecast expectations, due to the introduction of a gaming tax in January 2025 which reduced the revenue
levels and caused delay in market expansion. As a result of a triggering event, management performed a quantitative goodwill impairment
test for the Virtual Sports reporting unit as of December 1, 2025. Based on this analysis management concluded that the estimated fair
value of the Virtual Sports reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and, accordingly, no goodwill impairment was identified or recorded.
Management will continue to monitor the segments performance for future potential indicators of impairment.
Key
agreements signed in the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, include a five-year contract with Buzz Bingo, a five-year contract
with MOTO and a five-year contract with Welcome Break all for the provision of gaming machines in the Leisure segment. Inspired also
signed an extension to the Chisholm Bookmakers contract for four years, a new customer contract for JenningsBet for five years for the
provision and installation of 591 Vantage terminals, and a new customer contract for Corbett Bookmakers for four years for the provision
and installation of 148 flex terminals, all of which are in the Gaming segment.

See
Segments Results below for a more detailed explanation of the significant changes in our components of revenue within the
individual segment results of operations.
****
**Revenue
(for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024)**
**Consolidated
Reported Revenue by Segment**
*
For
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, revenue on a functional currency (at constant rate) basis decreased by $3.1 million,
or 1% compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024.
For
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, Gaming revenue
declined by $2.2 million, Gaming product revenue declined by $13.5 million due to a decrease in the North America markets as
product sales do not typically follow a linear year-over-year trend, partially offset by an increase in Gaming service revenue of
$11.3 million predominantly due to the UK and mainland Europe markets. Virtual Sports revenue decreased by $9.9 million due to a
decrease in Online revenue. Interactive revenue increased by $17.3 million, driven by revenue growth in the UK, mainland Europe and
North America; and Leisure revenue decreased by $8.5 million as service revenue decreased by $7.8 million and product revenue
decreased by $0.7 million. Decreases in Leisure are predominantly from Pubs (operator business model change), Extra MSA and Holiday
Parks (sale of UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets).
| 44 | |
**Cost
of Sales, excluding depreciation and amortization**
Cost
of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, compared to the twelve-month
period ended December 31, 2024, decreased by $8.6 million, or 9%, driven by a $6.3 million decrease in cost of product as a result of
lower product sales, and a decrease in cost of service of $2.3 million predominantly driven by the Pubs operator business model change
and sale of UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets.
**Staff-related
selling, general and administrative expenses**
****
Staff-related
selling, general and administrative expenses for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, increased by $2.1 million, or 3% compared
to the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, predominantly related to performance based short term incentive expenses.
**Non-staff
related selling, general and administrative expenses**
Non-Staff
related selling, general and administrative expenses for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, decreased by $2.6 million,
or 5% compared with the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024, mainly driven by a favorable realized gain on foreign currency movement,
and reductions on facilities and storage from cost saving initiatives.
**Stock-based
compensation**
During
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expenses of $6.7 million, compared to
stock-based compensation expenses of $7.6 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024. All expenses related to outstanding
awards.
**Depreciation
and amortization**
Depreciation
and amortization for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, increased by $6.5 million compared to the twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2024. This was predominantly driven by an increase in Gaming of $6.2 million mainly related to gaming machine additions.
**Net
operating income**
During
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, net operating income was $30.5 million, an decrease of $0.4 million compared to the
twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024. This was predominantly due to higher service revenue, lower cost of sales, offset by loss on sale of business.
**Net
(Loss)/Income**
For
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, net loss was $17.0 million, compared to net income of $64.8 million in the twelve-month
period ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase of income tax expense of $74.1 million, as the twelve-month
period ended December 31, 2024, included a reversal of the majority of the companys valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets,
partially offset by the decrease in net operating income and increases in interest expense and income tax expense.
**Deferred
Tax**
The
Company maintains a valuation allowance related to capital loss carryovers in the United Kingdom, state net operating losses unable to
be utilized in the United States, and United States interest expected to be limited under Section 163(j).
| 45 | |
**Segment
Results (for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2024)**
**Gaming**
We
generate revenue from our Gaming segment through the delivery of our gaming terminals preloaded with proprietary gaming software, server-based
content, as well as services such as terminal repairs, maintenance, software updates and upgrades on a when and if available basis and
content development. We receive rental fees for machines, typically in conjunction with long-term contracts, on both a participation
and fixed fee basis. Our participation contracts are typically structured to pay us a percentage of net win (defined as net revenue to
our operator customers, after deducting player winnings, free bets or plays and any relevant regulatory levies) from gaming terminals
placed in our customers facilities. Typically, we recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of
the contract.
Revenue
growth for our Gaming business is principally driven by changes in (i) the number of operator customers we have, (ii) the number of Gaming
machines in operation, (iii) the net win performance of the machines and (iv) the net win percentage that we receive pursuant to our
contracts with our customers.

In
the table above:
End
of Period Installed Base is equal to the number of deployed Gaming terminals at the end of each period that have been placed on
a participation or fixed rental basis. Gaming participation revenue, which comprises the majority of Gaming Service revenue, is directly
related to the participation terminal installed base. This is the medium by which our customers generate revenue and distribute a revenue
share to the Company. To the extent all other KPIs and certain other factors remain constant, the larger the installed base, the higher
the Companys revenue would be for a given period. Management gives careful consideration to this KPI in terms of driving growth
across the segment. This does not include Service Only terminals.
Revenue
is derived from the performance of the installed base as described by Gross and Net Win KPIs.
| 46 | |
If
the End of Period Installed Base is materially different from the Average Installed Base (described below), we believe this gives an
indication as to potential future performance. We believe the End of Period Installed Base is particularly useful for assessing new customers
or markets, to indicate the progress being made with respect to entering new territories or jurisdictions.
Total
Gaming - Average Installed Base is the average number of deployed Gaming terminals during the period consisting of both participation
terminals and fixed rental terminals. Therefore, it is more closely aligned to revenue in the period. We believe this measure is particularly
useful for assessing existing customers or markets to provide comparisons of historical size and performance. This does not include Service
Only terminals.
Participation
- Average Installed Base is the average number of deployed Gaming terminals that generated revenue on a participation basis.
Fixed
Rental - Average Installed Base is the average number of deployed Gaming terminals that generated revenue on a fixed rental basis.
Service
Only - Average Installed Base is the average number of terminals that generated revenue on a Service only basis.
Customer
Gross Win per unit per day is a KPI used by our management to (i) assess impact on the Companys revenue, (ii) determine
changes in the performance of the overall market and (iii) evaluate the impact of regulatory change and our new content releases on our
customers. Customer Gross Win per unit per day is the average per unit cash generated across all Gaming terminals in which the Company
takes a participation revenue share across all territories in the period, defined as the difference between the amounts staked less winnings
to players divided by the Average Installed Base in the period, then divided by the number of days in the period.
Gaming
revenue accrued in the period is derived from Customer Gross Win accrued in the period after deducting gaming taxes (defined as a regulatory
levy paid by the Customer to government bodies) and applying the Companys contractual revenue share percentage.
Our
management believes Customer Gross Win measures are meaningful because they represent a view of customer operating performance that is
unaffected by our revenue share percentage and allow management to (1) readily view operating trends, (2) perform analytical comparisons
and benchmarking between customers and (3) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different markets in which we
operate.
Customer
Net Win per unit per day is Customer Gross Win per unit per day after giving effect to the deduction of gaming taxes.
Inspired
Blended Participation Rate is the Companys average revenue share percentage across all participation terminals where revenue
is earned on a participation basis, weighted by Customer Net Win per unit per day.
Inspired
Fixed Rental Revenue per Gaming Machine per week is the Companys average fixed rental amount across all fixed rental terminals
where revenue is generated on a fixed fee basis, per unit per week.
Inspired
Service Rental Revenue per Gaming Machine per week is the Companys average service rental amount across all service only
rental terminals where revenue is generated on a service only fixed fee basis, per unit per week.
Gaming
Long term license amortization is the upfront license fee per terminal which is typically spread over the life of the terminal.
Our
overall Gaming revenue from terminals placed on a participation basis can therefore be calculated as the product of the Participation
- Average Installed Base, the Customer Net Win per unit per day, the number of days in the period, and the Inspired Blended Participation
Rate, which is equal to Participation Revenue.
Number
of Machine sales is the number of terminals sold during the period.
Average
selling price per terminal is the total revenue in GBP of the Gaming terminals sold divided by the number of Machine sales.

**Gaming
Revenue**
During
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, Gaming revenue decreased by $2.2 million, or 2% compared to the twelve-month period
ended December 31, 2024. This was driven by $13.5 million decrease in Product revenue, partially offset by an increase of $11.3 million
increase in Service revenue.
The
Product revenue decrease, for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, compared to the twelve-month period ended December 31,
2024, was primarily driven by North America, with the prior year containing higher volumes of hardware sales which tend to be more variable
in nature.
The
increase in Gaming Service revenue, during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, compared to the twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2024, was primarily driven by a $11.9 million increase from the UK markets. This was predominantly due to the William Hill
Vantage terminal deployment partially offset by declines in the rest of the world.
**Gaming
Operating / Net Income**
Net
income for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, increased by $2.8 million, compared to the twelve-month period ended December
31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher service revenue and a decrease in cost of sales. Staff-related selling, general and
administrative expenses reduced driven by the closure of the Bridgend manufacturing facility in 2025 partially offset by an increase
in Depreciation and amortization relating to gaming machine additions.
**Virtual
Sports**
We
generate revenue from our Virtual Sports segment through our on-premise licensing solution and hosting of our products. We primarily
receive fees on a participation basis. Our participation contracts are typically structured to pay us a percentage of net win
(defined as net revenue to our operator customers, after deducting player winnings, free bets or plays and other promotional costs
and any relevant regulatory levies) from Virtual Sports content placed on our customers websites or
in our customers facilities. Typically, we recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the
contract.
Revenue
growth for our Virtual Sports segment is principally driven by the number of customers we have, the net win performance of the games
and the net win percentage that we receive pursuant to our contracts with our customers.

**Virtual
Sports revenue**
During
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, revenue decreased by $9.9 million, or 22% compared to the twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2024, primarily driven by regulation in the Brazilian market, introduction of new levies and lower revenue from a key
customer.
**Virtual
Sports net operating income**
During
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, net operating income decreased by $11.9 million compared to the twelve-month period
ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the decreases in revenues and increases in depreciation and amortization of $2.0 million.
**Interactive**
We
generate revenue from our Interactive segment through various gaming content made available via third-party aggregation platforms
integrated with our remote gaming server or directly on the Companys remote gaming server platform, and services such as
customer support, platform maintenance, updates and upgrades. Typically, we receive fees on a participation basis. Our participation
contracts are usually structured to pay us a percentage of net win (defined as net revenue to our operator customers, after
deducting player winnings, free bets or plays and other promotional costs and any relevant local gaming taxes and/or regulatory
levies) from Interactive content placed on our customers websites. Typically, we recognize revenue from these arrangements on
a daily basis over the term of the contract.

**Interactive
revenue**
During
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, revenue increased by $17.3 million, or 44% compared to the twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2024, primarily driven by revenue growth in the UK, North America and mainland Europe.
**Interactive
net operating income**
Net
operating income for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, increased by $13.8 million, or 70% compared to the twelve-month
period ended December 31, 2024, driven by the increase in revenue, partially offset by increases in cost of service of $1.2 million and
Staff-related and Non-staff related selling, general and administrative expenses of $3.3 million.
**Leisure**
We
typically generate revenue from our Leisure segment through the supply of our gaming and amusement machines. We receive rental fees for
machines, typically on a long-term contract basis, on both a participation and fixed fee basis. Our participation contracts are usually
structured to pay us a percentage of net win (defined as net revenue to our operator customers, after deducting player winnings, free
bets or plays, any relevant regulatory levies and minimum fixed incomes where applicable) from machines placed in our customers
facilities. We generally recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the contract.
Revenue
for our Leisure segment is principally driven by the number of customers we have, the number of machines in operation, the net win performance
of the machines and the net win percentage that we receive pursuant to our contracts with our customers.

****
**Leisure
Revenue**
For
the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, revenue decreased by $8.5 million, or 8% compared to the twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2024, predominantly from a decrease in pubs revenue of $5.5 million due to pub operator business model restructuring
and a decrease in Extra MSA and holiday parks revenue of $3.6 million due to the sale of UK holiday parks business and certain
associated leisure assets.
**Leisure
Net Operating Income**
Operating
income for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025, decreased by $8.9 million compared to the twelve-month period ended December
31, 2024. This was predominantly driven by the pub operator business model restructuring, Extra MSA and the sale of UK holiday parks
business and certain associated leisure assets.

**Non-GAAP
Financial Measures**
We
use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance. We use these financial measures to manage
our business on a day-to-day basis. We believe that these measures are also commonly used in our industry to measure performance. For
these reasons, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide expanded insight into our business, in addition to standard
U.S. GAAP financial measures. There are no specific rules or regulations for defining and using non-GAAP financial measures, and as a
result the measures we use may not be comparable to measures used by other companies, even if they have similar labels. The presentation
of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information
prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. You should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our U.S.
GAAP financial measures.
We
define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
**EBITDA**is defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense.
**Adjusted
EBITDA** is defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income
tax expense, and other additional exclusions and adjustments (see Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation table). Such additional excluded amounts
include stock-based compensation U.S. GAAP charges where the associated liability is expected to be settled in stock, and changes in
the value of earnout liabilities and income and expenditure in relation to legacy portions of the business (being those portions where
trading no longer occurs) including closed defined benefit pension plans. Additional adjustments are made for items considered outside
the normal course of business, including but not limited to (1) restructuring costs, which include charges attributable to employee severance,
impairments, management changes, restructuring, dual running costs, costs related to facility closures and integration costs, (2) merger
and acquisition costs and (3) gains or losses not in the ordinary course of business (4) the costs of the restatement of previously issued
financial statements.
We
believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a particularly useful performance measure, because
it focuses on certain operating drivers of the business, including sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense
and other operating income and expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA can provide a more complete understanding of our operating results
and the trends to which we are subject, and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future.
Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income or loss,
because it does not take into account certain aspects of our operating performance (for example, it excludes non-recurring gains and
losses which are not deemed to be a normal part of underlying business activities).* Our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable
to the use by other companies of similarly termed measures. Management compensates for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as
only one of several measures for evaluating our operating performance. In addition, capital expenditures, which affect depreciation and
amortization, interest expense, and income tax benefit (expense), are evaluated separately by management.
**Functional
Currency at Constant rate.** Currency impacts discussed have been calculated as the current-period average GBP:USD rate less the
equivalent average rate in the prior period, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency (GBP). The remaining
difference, referred to as functional currency at constant rate, is calculated as the difference in our functional currency, multiplied
by the prior-period average GBP: USD rate, as a proxy for functional currency at constant rate movement.
**Currency
Movement** represents the difference between the results in our reporting currency (USD) and the results on a functional currency
(at constant rate) basis.
Reconciliations
from net loss, as shown in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), to Adjusted EBITDA are shown below.

Notes
to Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation tables above:
| 
(1) | 
Pension
charges are profit and loss charges included within selling, general and administrative expenses, relating to a defined benefit
plan which was closed to new entrants in 1999 and to future accrual in 2010. As well as the amortization of net loss, the figure
also includes charges relating to the Pension Protection Fund (which were historically borne by the pension plan) and a small amount
of associated professional services expenses. These costs are included within Corporate Functions. | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
(2) | 
Cost
of Group Restructure includes redundancy costs, Payment In Lieu of Notice costs and any associated employer taxes. To qualify
as an adjusting item, costs must be part of a large restructuring project, which will net save ongoing future costs or be in relation
to the exit of an Executive. | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
(3) | 
Cost
of Group Restatement includes accounting advice and other related costs associated with the restatement of financial statements.
It also includes ongoing costs relating to the SEC inquiry that was concluded in January 2025. To qualify as an adjusting item, costs
must be specific to the event and be neither normal nor recurring in nature. | |
| 59 | |
| 
(4) | 
Stock-based
compensation expense, Depreciation and amortization, Total other expense, net and Income tax are as described above in the Results
of Operations line item discussions. Total expense, net includes interest income, interest expense, change in fair value of earnout
liability, change in fair value of derivative liability and other finance income. | |
| 
| 
| |
| 
(5) | 
Exchange
rate in the table is calculated by dividing the USD Adjusted EBITDA by the GBP Adjusted EBITDA, therefore this could be slightly different
from the average rate during the period depending on timing of transactions. | |
| 
| 
| |
|

Loss on sale of business - In November 2025, the company sold its UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure

**Net
cash provided by operating activities**
For
the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, net cash inflow provided by operating activities was $52.0 million, compared to a $31.7 million
inflow for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, representing a $20.3 million increase in cash generation. The increase was driven
primarily through the working capital position with favorable movements in accounts receivable due to timing of sales recognition with
high levels at the end of 2024 collected in 2025.
Amortization
of debt fees increased by $1.9 million, to $3.0 million, due to the refinancing of the business in June 2025.
Change
in the fair value of derivative and warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation expense decreased by $0.9 million from $7.6 million
to $6.7 million due to lower stock-based compensation expense. All expenses related to outstanding awards.
A
loss on sale of business expense of $6.6 million was incurred in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 relating to the sale of
the UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets.
| 60 | |
Depreciation
and amortization increased by $9.4 million, to $57.1 million, with increases of $4.4 million in amortization of software development
costs, $4.3 million in machine depreciation, $0.4 million in non-machine depreciation and $0.3 million in amortization of right of use
assets.
Other
net cash utilized by operating activities increased by $82.2 million to an outflow of $7.3 million. The relative movements between
the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 resulted in favorable movements of $60.1
million in corporate tax and other current taxes, $46.8 million in accounts receivable and $3.4 million in inventory. The movement
in corporate tax and other current taxes was due to the previous year including the reversal of the Companys valuation
allowance on their deferred tax assets in various jurisdictions as well as an inclusion for global low-taxed income. The movements
in accounts receivable was largely due to timing of machine sales with the end of 2024 seeing high levels which were collected in
2025 and due to lower Leisure receivables following the sale of our holiday park business and associated leisure assets and the
transitioning of a number of pub customer to a new operating model. These favorable movements were partly offset by unfavorable
movements in prepayments and accrued income of $23.8 million and long-term liabilities of $3.5 million.
**Net
cash used in investing activities**
Net
cash utilized in investing activities increased by $0.4 million to $40.5 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
Higher spend on plant, property and equipment, $18.7 million increase, which included the updating of machines in Greece, a $1.8
million increase in contract costs spending and $7.5 million of holiday park floats sold as part of the sale of the holiday parks
business and certain associated leisure assets were largely offset by the net proceeds from the sale of our holiday park business
and associated leisure assets of $24.4 million, $1.3 million of cash received in escrow as part of the sale and the $1.9 million
reduced spend on capital software.
**Net
cash used by financing activities**
During
the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, cash used by financing activities was net neutral. The refinancing of the business in June
2025 resulted in a net generation of cash of $8.2 million which was offset by a $7.8 million outflow relating to finance lease spend
and a $0.4 million repurchase of company shares. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, net cash used by financing activities
was $1.6 million all relating to finance lease spend.
**Funding
Needs and Sources**
To
fund our obligations, historically we have relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of additional
debt or the refinancing of existing debt. As of December 31, 2025, we had liquidity consisting of $43.3 million in cash, of which $1.3 million is restricted in escrow until November 2026, and a further
$23.9 million of undrawn revolver facility. This compares to $29.3 million of cash as of December 31, 2024, with a further $6.3 million
of revolver facilities undrawn. We had a working capital outflow of $7.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared
to a $89.5 million outflow for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
The
level of our working capital surplus or deficit varies with the level of machine procurement we are undertaking and our capitalization
as well as the seasonality evident in some of the businesses. In periods with minimal machine volumes and capital spend, our working
capital is typically more stable. In periods where significant numbers of machines are being produced, the levels of inventory and creditors
are typically higher and there is a natural timing difference between converting the stock into sellable or capitalized plant and settling
payments to suppliers. These factors can result in significant working capital volatility. In periods of low activity, our working capital
volatility is reduced. Working capital is reviewed and managed with the aim of ensuring that current liabilities are covered by the level
of cash held and the expected level of short-term receipts.
Historically,
some of our business operations require cash to be held within the machines. However with the sale of our holiday park business and
certain associated leisure assets in November 2025, the operational float requirement is removed. As of December 31, 2025, none of
our $43.3 million of cash were held as operational floats within the machines. At December 31, 2024, $2.9 million of our $29.3
million of cash were held as operational floats within the machines
Management
currently believes that the Companys cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, and the ability
to control and defer capital projects will be sufficient to fund the Companys net cash requirements through April 2027.

**Debt
Covenants**
On
June 4, 2025, the group entered into a Senior Note Purchase Agreement with the facilities being issued on June 9, 2025. At the same time
the group entered into a Senior Facilities Agreement. These facilities also became available on June 9, 2025 but remained undrawn. At
this point, all previously existing debt and revolver facilities were fully repaid. Full details of the refinancing of the group and
of the terms and conditions of the new debt facilities can be found in Note 13 Long Term and Other Debt.
Under
the Note Purchase Agreement in place as of December 31, 2025, we are subject to covenant testing on the Senior Notes. The Notes Purchase
Agreement requires that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 5.0x on the test date for the
relevant periods ending September 30, 2025, December 31, 2025, March 31, 2026, June 30, 2026, September 30, 2026, December 31, 2026 and
March 31, 2027, stepping down to 4.75x on June 30, 2027 and each relevant period thereafter (the Notes Financial Covenant).
The Notes Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined
as consolidated net income after adding back certain items including (without limitation) interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization
expenses and exceptional or non-recurring costs and losses and after adjusting for certain projected savings and synergies) for the 12-month
period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis. The Notes Purchase Agreement does not
include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants.
The
Senior Facilities Agreement also requires that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 5.50x
on the test date for the relevant periods ending September 30, 2025, December 31, 2025, March 31, 2026, June 30, 2026, September 30,
2026, December 31, 2026 and March 31, 2027, stepping down to 5.25x on June 30, 2027 and each relevant period thereafter (the RCF
Financial Covenant). The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated
pro forma EBITDA (defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense)
for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis. The SFA does not include
a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants.
Under
the previous debt facilities, which operated up until the refinancing on June 4, 2025, we were not subject to covenant testing on the
Senior Secured Notes. We were, however, subject to covenant testing at the level of Inspired Entertainment Inc., the ultimate holding
company, on the previous RCF which required the Company to maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 6.0x
on March 31, 2022, stepping down to 5.75x on March 31, 2023 and 5.50x from March 31, 2024 and thereafter (the RCF Financial Covenant).
The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined
as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month
period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis, subject to the Initial Facility (as
defined in the RCF Agreement) being drawn on the relevant test date. The RCF Financial Covenant does not include a minimum interest coverage
ratio or other financial covenants. These covenants have now been replaced by those of the new long term debt.
Covenant
testing at December 31, 2025 showed covenant compliance with the current debt facilities in place.
Under
the previous debt facilities, there were no covenant violations in the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2025 or December 31,
2024.

**Liens
and Encumbrances**
As
of December 31, 2025, our Senior Notes were secured by the imposition of a fixed and floating charge in favor of the lender over all
the assets of the Company and certain of the Companys subsidiaries.
**Share
Repurchases**
On
November 1, 2025 the Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program permitting the repurchase, subject to repurchases
being effected on or before November 30, 2028 of up to an aggregate amount of $25.0 million of the Companys issued and
outstanding shares of common stock. Since the authorization, the Company has repurchased an aggregate of 56,604 shares of our common
stock at an aggregate cost of $0.4 million.
Previously,
the Board of Directors had authorized that the Company may use up to $25.0 million to repurchase Inspired shares of common stock, subject
to repurchases being effected on or before May 10, 2025. There were no repurchases in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 under
this authorization. Under this authorization, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of 1,193,118 shares of our common stock at an
aggregate cost of $12.0 million. This plan has now lapsed.
Total
cumulative share repurchases under both share repurchase programs amount to an aggregate of 1,249,722 shares of our common stock at an
aggregate cost of $12.4 million.

**Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements**
As
of December 31, 2025, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, promulgated by
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
**Critical
Accounting Estimates**
The
preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions.
We exercise considerable judgment with respect to establishing sound accounting policies and in making estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, our recognition of revenue and expenses, and our disclosure of commitments
and contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments.
We base our estimates and judgments on a variety of factors, including our historical experience, knowledge of our business and industry
and current and expected economic conditions, that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We periodically
re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions with respect to these judgments and modify our approach when circumstances indicate that modifications
are necessary. While we believe that the factors we evaluate provide us with a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting
policies, we cannot guarantee that the results will always be accurate. Since the determination of these estimates requires the exercise
of judgment, actual results could differ from such estimates.
For a discussion of other
recently issued accounting standards, and assessments as to their impacts on the Company, see Note 1 Nature of Operations, Managements
Plans and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item
8 of this report.
**Revenue**
Application of GAAP related
to the measurement and recognition of revenue requires us to make judgments and estimates. Specifically, complex arrangements with nonstandard
terms and conditions may require significant contract interpretation to determine the appropriate accounting. The Company often enters
into contracts with customers that consist of a combination of services and products that are accounted for as one or more distinct performance
obligations. Management applies judgment in evaluating the contractual terms and conditions that impact the identification of performance
obligations and the pattern of revenue recognition. For these arrangements that contain multiple promises, judgement is also required
to determine the stand-alone selling price (SSP) for each distinct performance obligation. In instances where SSP is not
directly observable, such as when we do not sell the product or service separately, we determine the SSP using information that may include
market conditions, size of the customer, geography and other observable inputs or, as necessary, unobservable considerations such as historical
experience, knowledge of our business and industry and our current or expected selling practices.
Revenue recognition is also
impacted by our ability to estimate variable consideration, including, for example, estimates for income earned but unbilled prior to
the reporting period end. We consider various factors when making these judgments, including a review of specific transactional data and
contracted terms, information obtained subsequent to the reporting period end and historical experience. Evaluations are conducted each
quarter to assess the adequacy of the estimates.
Other significant judgments
include determining whether the Company is acting as the principal or the agent in a transaction.
The Company recognized service
and product revenue of $278.6 million and $25.5 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Companys revenue
recognition policy, which requires significant judgments and estimates, is fully described in Note 1 Nature of Operations, Managements
Plans and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item
8 of this report.
**Goodwill Impairment
Assessment**
Application
of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities
to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. Performance
of the qualitative goodwill assessment requires judgment in identifying and considering the significance of relevant key factors, events
and circumstances that affect the fair value or carrying amount of the reporting units. Such events and circumstances that we have considered
include macroeconomic conditions, industry specific and market considerations, and reporting unit-specific factors such as overall actual
and projected financial performance, among other factors. We also considered the results from the most recent date that a fair value measurement
was performed as a part of a quantitative goodwill assessment and specifically the cushion between each reporting units fair value
and carrying value. The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit as a part of a quantitative goodwill assessment
change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these estimates and assumptions
could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment, if any, for each reporting unit.
**Long-lived Assets
and Finite-lived Intangible Assets**
We
evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets with finite useful lives by comparing the carrying value
of the asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows that we expect the asset to generate if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that these assets are not recoverable. If the asset group fails the recoverability test, an impairment loss is measured as the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value. The fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow
approach where projections of future cash flows generated by those assets are discounted using an estimated discount rate. Significant
judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows and the relative risk of achieving those cash flows. We also
make judgments about the remaining useful lives of intangible assets and other long-lived assets that have finite lives. While we believe
our estimates of future operating results and projected cash flows are reasonable, any significant adverse changes in key assumptions
(i.e., adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset or asset group is being used or expectation that, more likely than not,
an asset or asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of its useful life) or adverse changes in economic and market
conditions may cause a change in our evaluation of recoverability or our estimation of fair value and could result in an impairment charge
that could be material to our financial statements. Any impairment loss shall be allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a
pro rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets, except that the loss allocated to an individual long-lived asset of
the group shall not reduce the carrying amount of that asset below its fair value.
**Software Development Costs**
The
Company must apply judgement in determining the amount of software development costs that should be capitalized. Specifically, we must
evaluate, on a project-by-project basis, whether the resultant product or platform will be completed and generate ongoing economic benefits,
principally through revenue from our customers, which is subject to uncertainties.
Once
the software is substantially complete or available for general release, capitalized internal-use and external-use software costs are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful life of the software, which ranges from two to five years. There
is judgement involved in estimating the useful life of developed software and the two-to-five-year period was determined based on factors
such as the continuous development in the technology, obsolescence, and anticipated life of the service offering before significant upgrades.
Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on a recurring basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.

**ITEM
7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**
Our
principal market risks are our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
**Interest
Rate Risk**
Following
the Companys refinancing of its debt in June 2025, the external borrowings of 270.0 million ($363.2 million) are provided
at a rate per annum equal to SONIA plus a margin (based on the Companys consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio) ranging
from 5.50% to 6.00% per annum fixed rate. Therefore, movements in rates such as SONIA will impact on the current borrowings with increases
in SONIA leading to a higher interest charge.
As
at December 30, 2025, we had 270.0 million ($363.2 million) of senior note debt subject to a floating rate interest charge that
can vary with the SONIA rate. If the floating interest rates increased by 1%, the additional interest charge would have been approximately
$2.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. If the floating interest rates increased by 5%, the additional interest charge
would have been approximately $10.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
Up
until the refinancing of the debt in June 2025, the previous external borrowings were provided at a fixed rate. Therefore, movements
in rates such as SONIA did not impact on the borrowings and the only fluctuation that was reported was solely caused by movements in
the exchange rates between the Companys functional currency and its reporting currency.
**Foreign
Currency Exchange Rate Risk**
Our
operations are conducted in various countries around the world, and we receive revenue and pay expenses from these operations in a number
of different currencies. As such, our earnings are subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated
in (i) currencies other than GBP, which is our functional currency, or (ii) the functional currencies of our subsidiaries, which is not
necessarily GBP. To estimate our foreign currency exchange rate risk, we identify material Euro and US Dollar trading and balance sheet
amounts and recalculate the result using a 10% movement in the GBP:US Dollar exchange rate. For the trading figures the 10% movement
is based on the average exchange rate throughout the reported period and for the balance sheet figures the 10% movement is based on the
exchange rate used at December 31, 2025.
Excluding
intercompany balances, our Euro and US Dollar functional currency net assets total approximately $29.4 million and $9.8 million respectively.
We use a sensitivity analysis model to measure the impact of a 10% adverse movement of foreign currency exchange rates against the US
Dollar. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the Euro and the US Dollar relative to GBP as of December 31, 2025, would result
in favorable translation adjustments of approximately $2.5 million and $1.0 million respectively, recorded in other comprehensive loss.
Included
within our trading results are earnings outside of our functional currency. Retained gains from Euro based entities earned in Euros and
retained losses from USD based entities earned in US Dollars in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, were 16.1 million and
$11.4 million, respectively. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the Euro and the US Dollar relative to GBP as of December
31, 2025, would result in translation adjustments of approximately $1.7 million favorable and $1.0 million unfavorable, respectively,
recorded in trading operations.
The
majority of the Companys trading is in GBP, the functional currency, although the reporting currency of the Company is the US
Dollar. As such, changes in the GBP:USD exchange rate have an effect on the Companys results. A 10% weakening of GBP against the
US Dollar would change the trading operational results favorably by approximately $2.3 million and would result in unfavorable translation
adjustments of approximately $5.7 million, recorded in other comprehensive loss.
For
further information regarding the external borrowings, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Long Term and Other
Debt.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**
To
the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Inspired
Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries
**Opinion
on the Financial Statements**
****
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inspired Entertainment, Inc, and Subsidiaries (the Company)
as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders deficit
and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements).
In our opinion, based on our audit results, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
****
**Basis
for Opinion**
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys
financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or
fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
**Critical
Audit Matters**
The
critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated
or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
**Revenue
Recognition**
**
As
described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the Companys revenues are generated through four segments (Gaming,
Virtual, Interactive, and Leisure). Each of the four segments provides different offerings to their customers. Examples include: (a)
Gaming revenue includes delivery of gaming terminals preloaded with proprietary gaming software, server-based content, as well as services
such as terminal repairs, maintenance, software updates and upgrades, and content development; (b) Virtual revenue includes packaged
products and services in either an on-premise solution or a hosted solution; (c) Interactive revenue is generated from various game content
made available via third party aggregation platforms integrated with the Companys remote gaming server or direct to operators
on the Companys remote gaming servers platform, and services such as customer support, platform maintenance, updates and upgrades;
and (d) Leisure revenue is generated by supplying and operating gaming terminals and amusement machines within arcades, motorway service
areas, and pubs, providing managed service solutions. The Company recognized revenue of $304.1 million for the year ended December 31,
2025.
Most
of the Companys revenue contracts with customers include multiple promises, the nature of which can vary for each segment and
contract. The Company is required to identify whether a performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct
good or service, or a series of distinct goods and services, to a customer. The evaluation of whether promises are both capable of being
distinct in the context of a contract (and thus constitute performance obligations) can require significant judgment and could change
the amount of revenue recognized in a given period.
We
identified auditing the Companys identification of the performance obligations as a critical audit matter because there is significant
judgment exercised by management when evaluating their customer contracts, which may include several promised goods and services, as
well as identifying the correct transaction price, all of which will impact the amount of revenue recognized in a given period. This
required a high degree of auditor judgment in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence.
The
primary audit procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:
| 
| We
obtained an understanding of managements process for customer contracts in accordance with
the applicable accounting standards. | |
| 
| We
evaluated the terms and considerations of the customer contracts on a sample basis. | |
| 
| We
identified the promised goods and services within the customer contracts to ensure that these
promised goods and services were consistent with the standard offering by the Company. | |
| 
| We
assessed the transaction price per contract to ensure the pricing structure was consistent
with all other contracts. | |
| 
| We
tested certain contracts to ensure the lease and non-lease components of the contract are
recognized under the applicable accounting standards. | |
| F-2 | |
**Software
development costs**
As
described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company develops software for internal use and capitalizes the software
development costs incurred during the application development stage. Costs are capitalized when preliminary development efforts are successfully
completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software
will be used as intended. The Company will stop capitalizing these costs when the software is substantially complete and ready for its
intended use, including the completion of all significant testing. Costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
life of the related asset, generally estimated to be two to five years.
Additionally,
the Company develops software for external use and capitalizes the software development costs incurred once technological feasibility
has been reached. Technological feasibility is achieved when the entity has completed all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities
that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications including functions, features, and
technical performance requirements. The Company will stop capitalizing these costs on the date that the software is available for general
release to the customers. Costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally
estimated to be two to five years.
The
Company capitalized $12.1 million of software development costs, with the majority of the costs being employee wages and the remaining
as external vendor costs, during the year ended December 31, 2025. Total capitalized software development costs are $22.7 million as
of December 31, 2025.
We
identified software development costs as a critical audit matter because of the judgment exercised by management in determining whether
costs incurred on software development projects have met the capitalization criteria, which in turn, required a higher degree of auditor
judgment in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence.
The
primary audit procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter include:
| 
| We
obtained an understanding of managements process for evaluating software development costs
and the nature of software development costs capitalized. | |
| 
| We
inspected underlying documentation for a sample of projects to evaluate whether the costs
were capitalizable under the applicable accounting standards. | |
| 
| We
tested individual payroll and non payroll related costs, on a sample basis, and assessed
whether such costs were properly capitalized based upon the nature and stage of work performed
and whether the requisite capitalization criteria were met. | |
| 
| We
conducted corroborative interviews with Company personnel involved in software development
regarding the nature and functionality of costs incurred related to capitalized software
projects. | |

**REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**
To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Inspired
Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries
**Opinion
on the Financial Statements**
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inspired Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company)
as of December 31, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders deficit
and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements).
In our opinion, based on our audit results, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
****
**Basis
for Opinion**
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys
financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit
included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud,
and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

Nature of Operations, Managements Plans and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**
**Company
Description and Nature of Operations**
Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (the Company, Inspired,
we or us) is a global gaming technology company, supplying content, platform and other products and services
to licensed online and land-based lottery, betting and gaming operators worldwide through a broad range of distribution channels, on a
business-to-business basis. We provide end-to-end digital gaming solutions (i) on our own proprietary and secure network, which accommodates
a wide range of devices, including land-based gaming machine terminals, mobile devices and online computer applications and (ii) through
third party networks. Our content and other products can be found through the consumer-facing portals of our customers operating digital
channels, on aggregator platforms, and in licensed betting offices, adult gaming centers, pubs, bingo halls and motorway service areas
for our customers operating land-based venues.
**Management
Liquidity Plans**
As
of December 31, 2025, the Companys cash on hand, excluding restricted cash, was $42.0 million, and the Company had working capital
in addition to cash and unrestricted cash of $43.9 million. The Company recorded a net loss of $17.0 million and net income of $64.8
million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Net loss/income includes non-cash stock-based compensation
of $6.7 million and $7.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Historically,
the Company has generally had positive cash flows from operating activities and has relied on a combination of cash flows provided by
operations and the incurrence of debt and/or the refinancing of existing debt to fund its obligations. Cash flows provided by operations
amounted to $52.0 million and $31.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Management
currently believes that the Companys cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, ability to control
and defer capital projects and amounts available from the Companys external borrowings will be sufficient to fund the Companys
net cash requirements through March 2027.

**NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
**AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**
**Basis
of Presentation**
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP).
**Principles
of Consolidation**
All
monetary values set forth in these consolidated financial statements are in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated
herein. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
**Foreign
Currency Translation**
For
most of our operations, the British pound (GBP) is our functional currency. Our reporting currency is the USD. We also
have operations where the local currency is the functional currency, including our operations in mainland Europe and North America. Assets
and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at period-end rates of exchange, equity is translated at historical rates of exchange
and results of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the period. Gains or losses resulting from translating
the foreign currency financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders
deficit. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses and
Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Aggregate foreign currency losses
included in net income amounted to $0.1 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
**Use
of Estimates**
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates
these estimates, including those related to the revenue recognition for contracts involving software and non-software elements, allowance
for credit losses, inventory reserve for net realizable value, currency swaps, goodwill and intangible assets, useful lives of long-lived
assets, stock-based compensation, valuation allowances on deferred taxes, pension liability, commitments and contingencies and litigation,
among others. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. We regularly evaluate these significant factors and make adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual
results may differ from these estimates.

**NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
**AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**
**Cash
and Restricted Cash**
We
deposit cash with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Substantially all of the Companys
cash is held outside of the U.S.
Restricted
cash consists of escrowed funds from the sale of UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets. The funds are
restricted for a period of 12 months from the sale completion date and therefore not available for general corporate purposes until
November 2026. In the absence of any claims against the standard warranties provided as part of merger & acquisition
transactions, the restriction is time-based only and will lapse automatically upon expiration of the escrow period.
**Accounts
Receivable**
Accounts
receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Our standard credit terms are net 30 to 60 days.
Expected
credit losses are estimated using the Aging Schedule method and are determined on the basis of the amount of time that a receivable has
remained outstanding.
In
estimating expected credit losses, management considers all available relevant information, including details about past events, current
conditions, asset-specific risk characteristics and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
Historical
credit loss data is utilized as the basis of the estimation. This is then adjusted to take account of conditions that may have existed
within the historical data which now differ from current expectations, and to recognize differences in asset-specific risk characteristics.
When assessing conditions over the contractual life of the asset, management will utilize historical credit loss experience for the period
beyond which it is possible to make reasonable and supportable forecasts.
Trade
receivables are pooled by segment and the probability of default of each pool is assessed and evaluated.
Account
balances are charged against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered
remote.
Under
certain contracts, the timing of our invoices does not coincide with revenue recognized under the contract. We have unbilled accounts
receivable which represent revenue recorded in excess of amounts invoiced under the contract and generally become billable at contractually
specified dates. These amounts consist primarily of revenue from our share of net winnings earned on a daily basis where the billing
period does not fall on the last day of the period. We had $30.2 million and $26.0 million of unbilled accounts receivable as of December
31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
**Inventories**
Inventories
consist primarily of gaming terminals and related parts and other component parts. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in-first-out method. We determine the lower of
cost or net realizable value of our inventory based on estimates of potentially excess and obsolete inventories after considering
historical and forecasted demand and average selling prices. Demand for gaming terminals and parts inventory is also subject to
technological obsolescence. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
**Property
and Equipment**
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost, and when placed into service, depreciated and amortized to their residual values using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Schedule
of Property and Equipment Estimated Useful Lives
| 
Leasehold
property | 
| 
Shorter
of the useful life or the life of the lease | |
| 
Gaming
and amusement terminals | 
|

7 years | |
| 
Plant
and machinery and fixtures and fittings | 
| 
3
10 years | |
| 
Computer
equipment | 
| 
3
10 years | |
Our
policy is to periodically review the estimated useful lives of our fixed assets. We also assess the recoverability of long-lived assets
(or asset groups) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such an asset (or asset groups) may
not be recoverable.
Where
operating leases include an obligation for repairs and dilapidations costs associated with the retirement of the right-of-use asset,
amounts are capitalized at the point at which a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized.
Repairs
and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed and the related accumulated depreciation
are written off and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

**AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**
**Software
Development and Research and Development Costs**
Research
and development costs, which primarily consist of employee compensation costs and exclude costs relating to non-project time, leave and
absence, are expensed as incurred, except for software product development costs that are eligible for capitalization, as described below.
Total research and development costs amounted to $19.4 million and $22.7 million in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Research and development costs amounting to $8.4 million and $7.8 million were capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2025 and
2024, respectively. In addition, amounts relating to Costs of obtaining and fulfilling customer contracts, net, of $5.5 million and $4.2
million were capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We expensed $5.5 million and $10.7 million
during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively as they related to maintenance, research or support costs. Employee related
costs associated with these activities are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
We
capitalize certain eligible costs incurred to develop internal-use software as well as external use software to be used in the products
we sell, lease or market to customers. We account for costs incurred to develop internal use software, including software developed to
deliver our cloud-based offerings to customers, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-40, Internal
Use Software. Consequently, certain direct costs incurred during the application development stages are capitalized while all other related
costs are expensed as incurred. Once the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, we amortize the capitalized
internal use software costs over their estimated economic useful life, which ranges from two to five years. Amortization of such costs
is included in Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
We
purchase, license and incur costs to develop external use software to be used in the products we sell, lease or license to customers.
Such costs are capitalized under ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed. Costs incurred in developing such software
are expensed when incurred as research and development costs until technological feasibility has been established, after which costs
are capitalized up to the date the software is available for general release to customers. We capitalize the payments made for software
that we purchase or license for use in our products that have previously met the technological feasibility criteria prior to our purchase
or license. Once available for general release, capitalized external use software development costs are amortized over the estimated
economic life, which ranges from two to four years. Amortization of such costs is included in Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
**Goodwill
and Other Acquired Intangible Assets**
Our
principal acquired intangible assets relate to goodwill, trademarks, customer relationships and intellectual property licenses. Goodwill
represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Trademarks
and customer relationships were originally recorded at their fair values in connection with business combinations. Intellectual property
licenses are recorded at cost related to specific contracts.
Goodwill
and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over eighteen months to thirteen years to their estimated
residual values and reviewed for impairment. Factors considered when assigning useful lives include legal, regulatory and contractual
provisions, product obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors.
**Impairment
of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets**
We
test for goodwill impairment at least annually as of December 1, and whenever other facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying
value may not be recoverable. For goodwill impairment evaluations, we first make a qualitative assessment to determine if goodwill is
may be impaired. If it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting units fair value is less than its carrying value, we then compare
the fair value of the reporting unit to its respective carrying amount. Goodwill is carried, and therefore tested, at the reporting unit
level. As of December 31, 2025 we have five reporting units, Virtual Sports, Interactive, Leisure, and two reporting units within our
Gaming segment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the amount of the impairment loss, if any,
will be measured by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount and would be charged to operations as an impairment
loss.
As
of December 1, 2025 we determined that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the Virtual Sports reporting unit was less
than its carrying value. We carried out a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis and determined that the fair value of the Virtual
Sports reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill. As a result, it was concluded that there was no impairment of
the Virtual Sports goodwill. It was not considered to be more-likely-than-not that the fair value of all other reporting units was less
than their carrying values as of December 1, 2025.
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024 management determined there were no indicators of impairment and concluded that no impairment was required
at any of these dates.
We
assess the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever events arise or circumstances
change that indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets (or asset groups) to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset (or asset group) to the expected net future undiscounted
cash flows to be generated by that asset (or asset group) or, for identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives, by determining whether
the amortization of the intangible asset balance over its remaining life can be recovered through expected net future undiscounted cash
flows. The amount of impairment of other long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives is measured by the amount by which
the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair market value of the asset. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 management determined there
were no indicators of impairment and concluded that no impairment was required at any of these dates. Refer to Note 8, Intangible
Assets and Goodwill for more information.

**AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**
**Deferred
Revenue and Deferred Cost of Sales**
Deferred
revenue arises from the timing differences between the shipment or installation of gaming terminals and systems products and the satisfaction
of all revenue recognition criteria consistent with our revenue recognition policy, as well as prepayment of contracts which are recognized
ratably over a service period, such as maintenance or licensing fees. Deferred cost of sales, recorded as prepaid expenses and other
assets, consists of the direct costs associated with the manufacture of gaming equipment and systems products for which revenue has been
deferred. Amounts expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred
revenue in current liabilities. Amounts not expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date
are classified as deferred revenue, net of current portion.
**Debt
Issuance Costs**
Debt
issuance costs incurred in connection with the Companys debt are capitalized and amortized as interest expense over the term of
the related debt. The Company presents debt issuance costs as a reduction from the carrying amount of debt. Only costs that are wholly
attributable to obtaining the related debt finance are treated as debt issuance costs. Any other costs are expensed to the Consolidated
Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as part of Acquisition and integration related transaction expenses.
**Indirect
Taxes**
The
Company is subject to indirect taxes in some locations. The amount of indirect tax liability is determined by applying the applicable
tax rate to the invoiced amount of goods and services sold less indirect tax paid on purchases made with the relevant supporting invoices.
Indirect tax is collected from customers by the Company on behalf of the tax authorities and is therefore not charged to the Consolidated
Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).
**Derivative
Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities**
The
Company reviews any freestanding derivative financial instruments at each balance sheet date and classifies them on the consolidated
balance sheet as:
| 
| 
a) | 
Equity
if they (i) require physical settlement (full or net-share settlement), or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement
or physical settlement in its own shares (full or net shares), or | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
b) | 
Assets
or liabilities if they (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs
and if that event is outside the Companys control), or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement
in shares (full physical settlement or net-share settlement). | |

**NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
**AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**
At
each reporting date, the Company determines whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.
FASB
ASC 815, *Derivatives and Hedging* (ASC 815), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities
with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures
are required that explain the Companys objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about
the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative
instruments.
As
required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, with assets and liabilities presented on
a gross basis with the exception of where they are with the same counterparty in which case they are offset and presented on a net basis.
The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected
to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the
criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair
value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value
hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types
of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure
of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition
on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable
to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company
may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not
apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
In
accordance with the FASBs fair value measurement guidance in ASU 2011-04, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure
the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty
portfolio.
Details of the Companys interest rate swap are given in note
14.
From
time to time we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk associated with cash payments required to be made
in non-functional currencies or to mitigate the risk associated with cash to be received in non-functional currencies. At December 31,
2025, there are no foreign currency forward contracts in place.
**Revenue
Recognition**
The
Company evaluates the recognition of revenue and rental income based on the criteria set forth in ASC 606 or ASC 842, as appropriate.
Revenue is recognized net of rebates and discounts when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an
amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Under
ASC 606, a performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods
and services, to a customer. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, and the customer obtains control of promised
goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive
in exchange for goods or services. Under the standard, a contracts transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance
obligation. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company
performs the following five steps:
| 
| 
1. | 
identify
the contracts with a customer; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
2. | 
identify
the performance obligations within the contract, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract and capable of
being distinct; | |
| F-14 | |

**NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
**AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**
| 
| 
3. | 
determine
the transaction price; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
4. | 
allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
5. | 
recognize
revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies each performance obligation. | |
**Step
1 Identify the contract**
The
Company identifies contracts with its customers when all parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective
obligations, when each partys rights and the payment terms regarding the goods or services to be transferred can be identified.
The contract must also have commercial substance, and it must be probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it
will be entitled.
Contracts
entered into at or near the same time with the same customer or related parties of the customer are accounted for as one contract if
any of the following criteria are met:
| 
| 
a. | 
Contracts
were negotiated as a single commercial package (including whether a contract would be loss-making without taking into account the
consideration received under another contract) | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
b. | 
Consideration
in one contract depends on the other contract | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
c. | 
Goods
or services (or some of the goods or services) are a single performance obligation. | |
**Step
2 Identify performance obligations**
Performance
obligations are identified by considering whether a good or service is distinct. The Company considers a good or service to be distinct
only when the customer can benefit from it either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available, and when the
promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.
The
Company applies the series guidance to its performance obligations where the following criteria apply:
| 
| 
a. | 
Each
distinct good or service in the series meets the criteria to be a performance obligation satisfied over time. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
b. | 
The
same method would be used to measure progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation to transfer each distinct
good or service in the series to the customer. | |
**Step
3 Determine the transaction price**
The
Company considers all amounts to which it has rights in exchange for the goods or services transferred in determining the transaction
price. This includes fixed and variable consideration. If the consideration promised by a customer includes a variable amount, we estimate
the amount to which we expect to be entitled using either the expected value or most likely amount method.
In
the case where the variable consideration is in the form of usage based fees, the Company evaluates the royalties to determine whether
they qualify for the sales and usage-based royalty exception, as discussed under Step 5.
The
Company also considers the impact of any liquidated damages clauses or service level agreements that could result in credits or refunds
to the client or incentive payments/bonuses from the customer upon achieving certain agreed-upon metrics. Incentive payments are accounted
for as variable considerations when the likely amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is probable
that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. Additionally, customers with volume discounts in contracts with
functional IP are not considered to have material rights as royalty revenue is recognized when usage occurs.
Where
variable considerations relate to a performance obligation determined to be a series, variable consideration is not estimated upfront
in accordance with the exception allowed by ASC 606.
The
Companys contracts with customers generally do not include non-cash consideration.
In
determining the transaction price, the Company adjusts the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money
if the payment terms are not standard and the timing of payments agreed to by the parties to the contract provide the customer or the
Company with a significant benefit of financing, in which case the contract contains a significant financing component. In accordance
with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-32-18, the Company elected to not assess the existence of a significant financing component
when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is a year or less. Invoices are generally issued as control transfers
and/or as services are rendered. Our standard payment terms dictate that payment is due upon receipt of invoice, payable within 30 to
60 days.
Sales
taxes and all other items of a similar nature are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price and shipping and handling activities
are treated as a fulfillment of our promise to transfer the goods, hence, included in cost of sales.

**NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
**AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**
**Step
4 Allocate the transaction price**
The
Company allocates the contracts transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices
of the goods or services being provided. Where a contract includes multiple performance obligations, the Company determines the standalone
selling price at contract inception of the distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation in the contract and allocates
the transaction price in proportion to those standalone selling prices. Where possible, the Company uses the price charged for the good
or service to other customers in similar circumstances as evidence of a standalone selling price. Where this is not possible, the standalone
selling price is estimated by experienced management using the best available judgement considering multiple factors including, but not
limited to, overall market conditions, including geographic or regional specific factors, competitive positioning, competitor actions,
internal costs, profit objectives, and pricing practices.
With
respect to performance obligations that are considered to be a series, where appropriate and where the required criteria are met, variable
consideration is allocated entirely to a distinct good or service that is part of a series.
**Step
5 Recognize revenue**
The
Company recognizes revenue over time for performance obligations that meet one of the following criteria:
| 
| 
a. | 
The
customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Companys performance as the Company performs. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
b. | 
The
Companys performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
c. | 
The
Companys performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company, and the Company has an enforceable right
to payment for performance completed to date. | |
Revenue
for the Companys remaining performance obligations that do not meet one of the above criteria is recognized at the point at which
the customer obtains control of the good or service.
The
Company assesses usage-based royalties it receives as consideration in contracts that predominantly relate to licenses of its intellectual
property to determine if such royalties constitute a sales- or usage-based royalty, according to ASC 606-10-55-65, in which case the
usage-based royalties are recognized as revenue when the usage occurs, and is reported by the licensee.
**Acting
as a Principal or an Agent**
The
Company evaluates arrangements where we may be acting as either principal or agent. We may include: subcontractor services, third-party
vendor services, products or Machine Gaming Duty in certain arrangements. In these arrangements, revenue from sales are recorded gross
when we are the principal for the transaction and net of our costs when we are acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor.
To determine whether we are principal or agent, we consider whether we obtain control of the services or products before they are transferred
to the customer. In making this evaluation, several factors are considered, most notably whether we have primary responsibility for fulfillment
to the end customer, as well as inventory risk and pricing discretion.
**Segment
Revenue**
The
Company has detailed evaluation of segment specific revenue recognition requirements under ASC 606 or ASC 842, as appropriate.
**Gaming
Revenue**
Gaming
contracts typically include multiple performance obligations such as delivery of our gaming terminals preloaded with proprietary gaming
software, server-based content, as well as services such as terminal repairs, maintenance, software updates and upgrades on a when-and-if available basis and content development. Consideration with respect to these performance obligations typically takes the form of a
fixed price per terminal billed upfront and a usage based fee in the form of percentage of net winnings, billed in arrears (usually monthly).
Transaction
price is allocated to all performance obligations within a contract on the basis of their standalone selling prices. Terminal revenue
is recognized at the point in time in accordance with contractual terms of each arrangement, but predominantly upon transfer of physical
possession of the terminal or the lapse of customer acceptance provisions. Services such as terminal repairs, maintenance, software updates
and upgrades and content development are considered stand-ready obligations; therefore, control transfers and revenue is recognized over
time over the term of the service period. As the license of our intellectual property is the predominant item to which the royalty relates,
revenue is recognized in the period the sale or usage occurs and is reported by the licensee.
The
Company also enters into arrangements that provide the customer with the right to use the terminals, wherein the Company operates as
both a lessor and a content and service provider. ASC 842 provides a practical expedient that permits lessors to aggregate non-lease
components (server-based content, terminal repairs, maintenance, software updates and upgrades and content development) and the associated
lease components (terminals) if certain conditions are met and account for the combined unit of accounting under either ASC 606 or ASC
842, based on the predominant characteristic in the arrangement. In contracts where we provide content and services that are identified
as non-lease components as well as underlying assets that are identified as lease components and the lease is an operating lease, the
content and service provided to the customer represents the most critical element of the arrangement. The Company has elected to combine
the non-lease component and the lease component and account for the entire arrangement under ASC 606 based on the consideration that
the content and service offering is the predominant and critical element of the contract.

**Virtual
Sports Revenue**
In
Virtual Sports, the Company packages products and services in two ways:
| 
| 
| 
An
on-premise solution which consists of a complex software and networking package delivered to retail betting outlets that may install
and run the solution in their own environment without connection to Inspireds platform; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
A
hosted solution capable of fulfilling the product delivery needs of the Companys customers which includes the proprietary
Virtual Plug and Play end to end online and mobile turnkey solutions and a cloud-based solution that requires an XML sportsbook integration
that is fully hosted and operated by Inspired. | |
For
the on-premise solution, contracts typically include multiple performance obligations such as delivery of the software license, games
and the content in addition to certain services such as software maintenance, support, updates, upgrades on a when-and-if available
basis and content development. Consideration with respect to these performance obligations is a royalty that typically takes the form
of a percentage of net winnings billed in arrears (usually monthly). As the license of intellectual property is the predominant item
to which the royalty relates, the sales- and usage-based royalty is recognized in the period the sale or usage occurs and is reported
by the licensee. Services such as software maintenance, support, updates, upgrades on a when-and-if available basis and content development
are considered stand-ready obligations; therefore, control transfers and revenue is recognized over time over the term of the service
period.
Occasionally,
customer arrangements also may include licenses for which the Company bills an upfront fixed fee. Revenue from such licenses is recognized
at the point in time the customer obtains the right to use the license. Upfront fees are normally billed upon signing of the relevant
agreement, and become due and payable at set times thereafter.
The
Company also enters into arrangements to develop bespoke games on a fixed fee basis. The license to bespoke games is recognized at a
point in time the customer obtains the right to use the license or when acceptance is obtained, in instances where acceptance is required.
The Company has no ongoing service obligations subsequent to customer acceptance of the bespoke game, and they meet the criteria to be
considered distinct. Payment for bespoke games is typically due within a number of days after delivery.
For
the hosted solution, the Company provides daily access to the gaming platform as well as a stand ready obligation to deliver customer
support, platform maintenance, updates and upgrades. Such arrangements are accounted for as a single performance obligation composed
of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service).
Consideration with respect to these arrangements typically takes the form of usage based fees (percentage of net winnings) which is recognized
as usage is incurred. These fees are billed in arrears (usually monthly) and due typically 30 days from the date of the invoice.
**Interactive
Revenue**
Interactive
revenue is generated from various games content made available via third party aggregation platforms integrated with Inspireds
remote gaming server or direct to operators on the Companys remote gaming servers platform, and services such as customer support,
platform maintenance, updates and upgrades. The Company provides daily access to these platforms as well as a stand ready obligation
to deliver customer support, platform maintenance, updates and upgrades, as such arrangements are accounted for as a single performance
obligation composed of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct
days of service). When required, revenue is estimated based upon the prior period averages. Consideration with respect to these performance
obligations typically takes the form of usage based fees (percentage of net win) which is recognized as usage is incurred. These fees
are billed in arrears (usually monthly) and due typically 30 days from the date of the invoice. Revenue from aggregators who function
as an agent is recognized on a net basis while revenue from operators where the Company is the principal is recognized on a gross basis.
**Leisure
Revenue**
Up
to November 6, 2025 and the sale of our UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets, the Company jointly
operated arcades within holiday resorts with the resort owners. The Company also wholly operates a number of gaming arcades within
certain motorway service stations. The Leisure segment contract typically includes one stand-ready performance obligation to provide
managed services to pubs, holiday resorts and amusement arcades, both standalone and within motorway service stations. Subsequent to
the sale of our UK holiday parks business and certain associated leisure assets, this reduced to only pubs, bingo and motorway
service stations. Managed service is an end-to-end management solution to provide a comprehensive range of gaming machine terminals,
amusement machine terminals, and service of operating amusements over a term, as well as service obligations related to terminal
repairs, content and maintenance, cash collections, personnel and other services. Consideration with respect to these performance
obligations typically takes the form of usage-based fees (percentage of net win) which is recognized as usage is incurred, with
adjustments to account for the movement of income uncollected in the specific period. These fees are billed in arrears (usually
monthly) and due typically 30 days from the date of the invoice.
The
Company also provides terminal maintenance and spares management services to third parties, including customers. Consideration with respect
to this stand-ready performance obligation takes the form of either variable fees based on number of machines being serviced during a
period or fixed fees per time period. These fees are billed in arrears and typically settled within 30 days. Revenue is recognized over
time over the term of the service period.
**Costs
to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract**
The
Company capitalizes certain contract acquisition costs that are incremental to obtaining a contract with a customer, to the extent that
such costs are recoverable from the associated contract margin. Capitalized contract acquisition costs primarily consist of certain sales
commissions programs paid to internal sales personnel and external advisors.
The
Company also capitalizes certain costs to fulfill a contract with a customer when the costs relate directly to the contract, are expected
to generate resources that will be used to satisfy a future performance obligation under the contract and are expected to be recovered
through revenue generated under the contract. These costs primarily consist of employee-related costs for time incurred on software development
projects associated with customer contracts.
Capitalized
contract acquisition costs and costs to fulfill a contract are amortized on a systematic basis over the expected period of benefit which
ranges from 0 to 4 years based on the contract term and pattern of transfer of the underlying goods and/or services being provided to
the customer.
Capitalized
costs to obtain and fulfill contracts with customers are included in Costs of obtaining and fulfilling customer contracts, net, in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortization of such costs is included in Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement
of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

**Shipping
and Handling Costs**
Shipping
and handling costs for products sales and terminals related to subscription services are included in cost of sales for all periods presented.
**Share-Based
Payment Arrangements**
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (ASC
718). ASC 718 requires generally that all equity awards be accounted for at their fair value. This fair value is
measured on the grant date for stock-settled awards. Fair value is equal to the underlying value of the stock for full-value
awards such as restricted stock units that have time and performance vesting conditions, restricted stock units that have market conditions
are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
The
Company has elected to recognize stock-based compensation cost using the graded vesting attribution method for each separately vesting
tranche of the award from the grant date to the date that each tranche vests over the requisite service period for the restricted stock
units. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. For awards that vest over time, previously recognized compensation cost is
reversed if the service or performance conditions are not satisfied and the award is forfeited.
Subsequent
modifications to outstanding awards result in incremental cost if the fair value is increased as a result of the modification. The incremental
cost is charged over the estimated service derived period.
**Income
Taxes**
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Our provision for income taxes is principally based on current period income
(loss), changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in estimates with regard to uncertain tax positions. We estimate current
tax expense and assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes using enacted
tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate for the period in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Our total deferred tax assets are principally
comprised of depreciation and net operating loss carry forwards.
Significant
management judgment is required to assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. In assessing
the realizability of these deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will be realized. Management makes this assessment on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis considering the historical
trend of taxable losses, projected future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities.
We
evaluate income tax uncertainties, assess the probability of the ultimate settlement with the applicable taxing authority and records
an amount based on that assessment. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with uncertain tax positions are included in income tax
expense.
**Comprehensive
(Loss) Income**
We
include and separately classify in comprehensive (loss) income unrealized gains and losses arising from foreign currency translation
adjustments and from hedging instruments, gains or losses associated with pension or other post-retirement benefits, prior service costs
or credits associated with pension or other post-retirement benefits and transition assets or obligations associated with pension or
other post-retirement benefits.

**AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**
**Leases**
We
determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. Once it is determined that an arrangement is, or contains, a
lease, that determination should only be reassessed if the legal arrangement is modified. Changes to assumptions such as market-based
factors do not trigger a reassessment. Determining whether a contract contains a lease requires judgement. In general, arrangements are
considered to be a lease when all of the following apply:
| 
| 
| 
it
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration; | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
we
have substantially all economic benefits from the use of the asset; and | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
| 
we
can direct the use of the identified asset. | |
The
terms of a lease arrangement determine how a lease is classified and the resulting income statement recognition. When the terms of a
lease effectively transfer control of the underlying asset, the lease represents an in substance financed purchase (sale) of an asset
and the lease is classified as a finance lease by the lessee and a sales-type lease by the lessor. When a lease does not effectively
transfer control of the underlying asset to the lessee, but the lessor obtains a guarantee for the value of the asset from a third party,
the lessor would classify a lease as a direct financing lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Where
a lease contains more than one component, the consideration in the contract is allocated on a relative standalone price basis to the
separate lease components and the non-lease components.
*Leases
the Company as lessee*
Lease
assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement
date. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the
date that we adopted Topic 842, or the commencement date, if later, in determining the present value of future payments. The lease ROU
asset includes any lease payment made and initial direct costs incurred. Our operating lease terms may include options to extend or terminate
the lease which are included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise
that option.

**AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**
The
lease expense for minimum operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance lease assets are
amortized straight-line over their useful life where the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset, or to the earlier of the
end of the useful life of the asset and the end of the lease term where ownership is not transferred. Interest on finance leases is recognized
as the amount that results in a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability.
We
have operating lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company did not make the election to treat the lease and non-lease
components as a single component and considers the non-lease components as a separate unit of account.
The
Company has elected not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term operating leases. We recognize the lease payments
for short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation
for those payments is incurred.
*Leases
the Company as lessor*
The
Companys lease arrangements are a mixture of sales-type leases and operating leases.
Sales-type
lease receivables are recognized based on the net investment in the lease, at the present value of future minimum lease payments receivable
over the lease term, plus any guaranteed residual value of the underlying asset, at the commencement date.
The
discount rate used in determining the present value of the future minimum lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease. This is calculated
using the fair value of the underlying asset and the present value of any unguaranteed residual value.
The
underlying asset is derecognized at the point of inception and a selling profit is recognized at lease commencement. Subsequent interest
income is recognized over the term of the lease, at an amount that produces a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance
of the net investment in the lease.
For
operating leases, we continue to recognize the underlying asset. Lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

**Recently
Issued Accounting Standards**
In
October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements Codification Amendments in Response to the SECs
Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (ASU 2023-06). ASU 2023-06 modifies the disclosure or presentation
requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification. Certain of the amendments represent clarifications to or technical corrections
of the current requirements. The guidance will be effective on the date on which the SECs removal of that related disclosure from
Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the
applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification
and will not become effective. The amendments in the Update should be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2023-06 is not expected
to have a material impact on the Companys financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In
November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income StatementReporting Comprehensive IncomeExpense Disaggregation
Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of income statement expenses (ASU 2024-03). The amendments in ASU
2024-03 require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments
require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity: 1) Disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee
compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part
of oil and gas-producing activities (DD&A) (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant
expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contains any of
the expense categories listed in (a)(e). 2) Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. 3) Disclose a qualitative description
of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. 4) Disclose the total amount
of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entitys definition of selling expenses. The guidance will be effective
for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early
adoption is permitted. We are still evaluating the effect of this guidance.
In
July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and
Contract Assets (ASU 2025-05). ASU 2025-05 provides (1) all entities with a practical expedient and (2) entities
other than public business entities with an accounting policy election when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable
and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606, as follows:
| 
| 
1. | 
Practical
expedient. In developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, all entities may elect
a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the
asset. | |
| 
| 
2. | 
Accounting
policy election. An entity other than a public business entity that elects the practical expedient is permitted to make an accounting
policy election to consider collection activity after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses. | |
The
guidance should be adopted prospectively and will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim
reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We will be adopting the practical expedient as of January 1, 2026, and the adoption
of ASU 2025-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In
September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, IntangiblesGoodwill and OtherInternal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40):

basis and will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those
annual reporting periods. We are still evaluating the effect of this guidance.
In
November 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-09, Hedge Accounting Improvements (ASU 2025-09). Consistent with
the original objective of Update 2017-12, the objective of ASU 2025-09 is to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of
an entitys risk management activities. Five issues are addressed in ASU 2025-09 and are intended to better reflect those strategies
in financial reporting by enabling entities to achieve and maintain hedge accounting for highly effective economic hedges of forecasted
transactions. The five issues are as follows:

ASU
2025-09 applies to any entity that elects to apply hedge accounting in accordance with Topic 815 and is effective for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are still evaluating the
effect of this guidance, however, the adoption of ASU 2025-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial
statement presentation or disclosures.
In
December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (ASU 2025-11).
The amendments in ASU 2025-11 clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The amendments result in a
comprehensive list of interim disclosures that are required by GAAP. In developing the list of disclosures required by other Topics,
the FASB focused on identifying the interim disclosures that are currently required under GAAP. The objective of the amendments is to
provide clarity about the current requirements, rather than evaluate whether to expand or reduce interim disclosure requirements. The
amendments also include a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period
that have a material impact on the entity. The intent of the disclosure principle, which is modeled after a previous SEC disclosure requirement,
is to help entities determine whether disclosures not specified in Topic 270 should be provided in interim reporting periods. The amendments
also clarify the applicability of Topic 270, the types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements
in accordance with GAAP. The FASB expects that these clarifications will enhance consistency in interim reporting for all entities. The
amendments are effective for public business entities for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December
15, 2027, and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements.
The adoption of ASU 2025-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In
December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Accounting Standards Update Codification Improvements (ASU 2025-12).
The FASB has a standing project to address suggestions received from stakeholders on the Accounting Standards Codification and to make
other incremental improvements to generally accepted accounting principles. This evergreen project facilitates Codification updates for
a broad range of Topics arising from technical corrections, unintended application of the Codification, clarifications, and other minor
improvements. The resulting amendments are collectively referred to as Codification improvements. The FASB decided that the types of
issues that it will consider through this project are improvements that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting
practice or result in significant costs to most entities. Thirty-three issues are addressed in ASU 2025-12 and represent changes to the
Codification that (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand
and apply. Generally, the amendments in ASU 2025-12 are not intended to result in significant changes for most entities. The amendments
are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those
annual reporting periods. The adoption of ASU 2025-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial statement
presentation or disclosures.

Unbilled
accounts receivable are a form of contract asset and primarily result from revenue being recognized when or as control of a solution
or service is transferred to the customer, but where invoicing is contingent upon the completion of other performance obligations or
payment terms differ from the provisioning of services. The current portion of unbilled accounts receivable is reported within prepaid
expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet, and the non-current portion is included in other assets. Right to
recover assets are recognized in respect of the transfer of products with a right of return where the Company has also recognized a refund
liability. Right to return assets are recognized in other debtors and refund liabilities are recognized as part of deferred income. Contract
liabilities (deferred income and customer prepayments and deposits) primarily relate to consideration received from customers in advance
of delivery of the related goods and services to the customer. Contract balances are reported in a net contract asset or liability position
on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
Revenue
recognized that was included in the deferred income balance at the beginning of the period amounted to $4.8 million and $3.8 million
for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
For
the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 there was no significant amounts of revenue recognized as a result of changes in contract
transaction price related to performance obligations that were satisfied in the respective prior periods.

Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in obtaining or fulfilling a customer contract. The following table summarizes amounts capitalized

Long Term and Other Debt**
**Issuance
of Long-Term Debt - Series B Notes**
On
June 4, 2025, Inspired Entertainment (Financing) plc (the Issuer), a wholly owned (indirect) subsidiary of the Company,
together with certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Senior Notes Purchase Agreement (the Notes Purchase Agreement)
with (among others) Global Loan Agency Services Limited (the Agent) as the agent, GLAS Trust Corporation Limited (the Security
Agent) as the security agent, and Barclays Bank plc, HG Vora Special Opportunities Master Fund, Ltd., BSE Investments, Ltd. and
HG Vora Opportunistic Capital Master Fund III A LP as the original noteholders. On September 30, 2025, a number of documents comprising
Inspired Guarantor Accession Documents were signed following local law advice, such that the following entities are now guarantors under
the Notes Purchase Agreement, being DMWSL 631 Limited, Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC, Inspired Entertainment Lotteries LLC,
Inspired Gaming (USA) Inc., Gaming Acquisitions Limited, Inspired Gaming (UK) Limited, Inspired Gaming (Greece) Limited, and Inspired
Gaming (Gibraltar) Limited.
Pursuant
to the Notes Purchase Agreement, the Issuer issued 270.0 million ($363.2 million, as translated at December 31, 2025) aggregate
principal amount of Series B Notes (the Senior Notes) on June 9, 2025 (the Closing Date). The Senior Notes
are initially guaranteed by the Issuer and certain other subsidiaries of the Company (the Guarantors). The terms of the
Senior Notes and related guarantees are governed by the Notes Purchase Agreement.
Subject
to compliance with customary conditions, the Notes Purchase Agreement allows us to incur additional senior secured indebtedness in the
amounts permitted under the Senior Notes, either as a new series of notes or as an additional sub tranche or increase of the Senior Notes.
The
proceeds from the offering of Senior Notes were used to refinance the previously existing 235.0 million ($316.1 million) senior
secured notes due June 1, 2026 (the Prior Notes) and 15.0 million ($20.2 million) loans outstanding under the prior
revolving credit agreement (the Prior RCF) and accrued interest and/or fees, in each case (and any related fees, costs
and expenses). The Issuer intends to use the balance of the proceeds for general corporate purposes and/or working capital purposes.
The
following is a brief description of the Senior Notes.
*Interest
and Maturity*
The
Senior Notes bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) rate *plus* a
margin (based on the Companys consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio) ranging from 5.50% to 6.00% per annum and mature
on June 9, 2030 (five years from the date of issuance). Interest is payable on the Senior Notes monthly, quarterly or semi-annually (as
selected by the Issuer) or by reference to any other period agreed with all the holders.
*Ranking*
The
Senior Notes and related guarantees are senior secured obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors that (i) rank equally in right of
payment to any of the Issuers and the Guarantors existing and future indebtedness (except as otherwise described in this
paragraph); (ii) rank senior in right of payment with all of the Issuers and the Guarantors existing and future senior
subordinated indebtedness; (iii) are effectively junior in right of payment to all of the Issuers and the Guarantors existing
and future secured indebtedness that is secured by assets that do not secure the Notes and the guarantees thereof to the extent of the
value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) are structurally subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future
indebtedness and other liabilities of the Companys subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes (other than the Issuer).
*Guarantees*
The
Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured first-priority basis by the Guarantors on a joint and several
basis.
*Security*
The
Senior Notes and related guarantees are secured, subject to certain permitted collateral liens, on a first-priority basis by certain
assets of the Guarantors.

ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**
**NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
**AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**
*Covenants*
The
Notes Purchase Agreement contains incurrence covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among
other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional debt and issue certain preferred stock of restricted subsidiaries; (ii) create or incur
certain liens; (iii) make restricted payments, including dividends or distributions to the Companys stockholders or repurchase
its stock; (iv) prepay or redeem subordinated debt; (v) make certain investments, including participating joint ventures; (vi) create
encumbrances or restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions by restricted subsidiaries; (vii) sell assets, or consolidate
or merge with or into other companies; (viii) sell or transfer all or substantially all of the Companys assets or those of the
Companys subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; and (ix) engage in certain transactions with affiliates. These covenants are subject
to exceptions and qualifications as set forth in the Notes Purchase Agreement.
The
Notes Purchase Agreement requires that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 5.0x on the test
date for the relevant periods ending September 30, 2025, December 31, 2025, March 31, 2026, June 30, 2026, September 30, 2026, December
31, 2026 and March 31, 2027, stepping down to 4.75x on June 30, 2027 and each relevant period thereafter (the Notes Financial
Covenant). The Notes Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro
forma EBITDA (defined as consolidated net income after adding back certain items including (without limitation) interest expense, taxes,
depreciation and amortization expenses and exceptional or non-recurring costs and losses and after adjusting for certain projected savings
and synergies) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis. The
Notes Purchase Agreement does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants. Covenant testing at December
31, 2025 showed covenant compliance with a net leverage of 3.06x.
*Events
of Default*
The
Notes Purchase Agreement provides for events of default (subject in certain cases to grace and cure periods) which include, among others,
non-payment of amounts when due, breach of covenants or other agreements in the Notes Purchase Agreement, misrepresentations, defaults
in payment of certain other indebtedness and certain events of insolvency, material litigation and a going concern qualification
by the auditors. Subject to certain exceptions, if an event of default occurs, the Agent or the holders of more than 50% of the Senior
Notes may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all of the Notes to be due and payable immediately.
*Voluntary
Redemption*
The
Issuer may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to the first anniversary of issuance,
at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a make-whole premium (the Make Whole)
as set forth in the Notes Purchase Agreement, plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to, but excluding, the redemption date. The
Issuer may also redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after the first anniversary of issuance
but prior to the second anniversary of issuance, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus 1% of the
principal amount redeemed (the 101 and, together with the Make Whole, Call Protection), plus accrued and
unpaid interest (if any) up to, but excluding, the redemption date. On or after the second anniversary of issuance, the Issuer may redeem
the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to, but excluding, the redemption date
*Mandatory
Redemption*
If
a change of control occurs as specified in the Notes Purchase Agreement, the Issuer must offer to purchase the Notes, in cash, at a redemption
price equal to at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the applicable Call Protection plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any)
up to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company generates excess cashflow as specified in the Notes Purchase Agreement, the
Issuer must offer to apply an agreed percentage of such excess cash flow (subject to certain deductions and varying by reference to the
level of senior secured net leverage at such time) to purchase the Senior Notes, in cash, at a redemption price equal to at 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, the Indenture
may require the Issuer to use excess proceeds from certain asset dispositions for an offer to purchase the Senior Notes at 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus the applicable Call Protection (unless made in the first 12 months following issuance and not in an amount
exceeding 25.0 million ($33.6 million) and made in connection with certain planned disposals by the Company as set out in the
Notes Purchase Agreement) plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) up to, but excluding, the redemption date.
**Revolving
Credit Facility**
In
connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Issuer, together with certain subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a Senior
Facilities Agreement (the SFA) on June 4, 2025, with the Agent, the Security Agent and Barclays Bank plc as original lender
(the Lender), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to provide, subject to certain conditions, a secured revolving facility
(the RCF) in an original principal amount of 17.8 million ($23.9 million) under which, as of the Closing Date, the
Issuer is able to draw funds. The RCF will terminate on December 9, 2029 (54 months from the Closing Date).
Subject
to compliance with customary conditions, the SFA allows certain members of the Group to incur additional senior secured, second lien
and unsecured indebtedness in the amounts permitted under the Senior Notes, either as a new facility or as an additional sub tranche
or increase of the RCF.
Proceeds
from the RCF, if drawn, may be used towards financing and/or refinancing (directly or indirectly) the general corporate and/or working
capital purposes of the Company (including, without limitation, restructuring costs or charges and any acquisitions or investments).
The
funding of the RCF is subject to customary conditions set forth in the SFA, including documentary conditions precedent which are to be
satisfied on the Closing Date.

**NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
**AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**
The
loans under the RCF bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) SONIA for borrowings in sterling, (ii) LIBOR for borrowings in dollars,
or (iii) EURIBOR for borrowings in Euro, as applicable, *plus*, in each case, a margin (based on the Companys consolidated
senior secured net leverage ratio) ranging from 3.25% to 3.75% per annum. With respect to the RCF, a commitment fee of 35% of the then
applicable margin is payable at any time on any unutilized portion of the RCF.
The
SFA contains various covenants (which include restrictions regarding the incurrence of liens, the incurrence of indebtedness by the Companys
subsidiaries and fundamental changes, subject in each case to certain exceptions), representations, warranties, limitations and events
of default (which include non-payment, breach of obligations under the financing documents, cross default, insolvency and litigation)
customary for similar facilities and subject to customary carve-outs and grace periods. Following the occurrence of an event of default
which has not been waived or remedied, the Lenders who represent more than 50% of total commitments under the SFA may, subject to the
terms of an intercreditor agreement (which governs the relationship between the Lenders and the holders of the Senior Notes), instruct
the agent to (i) accelerate the RCF loans, (ii) instruct the security agent to enforce the transaction security and/or (iii) exercise
any other remedies available to the Lenders.
The
SFA requires that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 5.50x on the test date for the relevant
periods ending September 30, 2025, December 31, 2025, March 31, 2026, June 30, 2026, September 30, 2026, December 31, 2026 and March
31, 2027, stepping down to 5.25x on June 30, 2027 and each relevant period thereafter (the RCF Financial Covenant). The
RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as
net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding
the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis. The SFA does not include a minimum interest coverage
ratio or other financial covenants. Covenant testing at December 31, 2025 showed covenant compliance with a net leverage of 3.06x.
The
outstanding principal amount of each advance under the RCF is payable on the last day of the interest period relating to such advance,
unless such advance is rolled over on a cashless basis in accordance with customary rollover provisions contained in the SFA, with a
final repayment on December 9, 2029.
In
the event that a Lender breaches its obligations under the SFA, otherwise repudiates or rescinds the SFA or any other finance document
or is subject to an insolvency event, the Issuer is entitled to prepay the amounts owed to such Lender, cancel its undrawn commitments
and replace it with another financial institution of the Companys choosing who is willing to join the SFA as a Lender. Subject
to the foregoing, recourse against the Lenders by the Company or its subsidiaries that are party to the SFA would, absent fraud or other
criminal behavior, generally be limited to remedies for breach of contract.
**Termination
of Prior Financing**
The
Companys previous debt consisted of 235.0 million ($316.1 million) of Senior Secured Notes which bore interest at a fixed
rate of 7.875% and a Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility in a principal amount of 20.0 million ($26.9 million), of which 15.0 million ($20.2 million) was drawn at the time of termination, which bore interest
at a rate per annum equal to (i) SONIA for borrowings in sterling, (ii) LIBOR (or, on and after December 31, 2021, SOFR) for borrowings
in US Dollars, or (iii) EURIBOR for borrowings in Euro, as applicable, plus, in each case, a margin (based on the Companys consolidated
senior secured net leverage ratio) ranging from 4.25% to 4.75% per annum.
In
connection with the entry into each of the Notes Purchase Agreement and the SFA, on June 9, 2025, (i) the Issuer redeemed the Prior Notes
and terminated the indenture dated May 20, 2021 pursuant to which the Prior Notes had been issued, and (ii) the Issuer prepaid in full
all outstanding loans under the Prior RCF and terminated the Super Senior Revolving Credit Facilities Agreement dated May 20, 2021.
The
termination of the prior financing is considered to be a non-substantial modification, in accordance with Topic 470-50. Fees directly
associated with the modified Senior Debt amounting to $18.1 million were capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the new Senior
Debt, along with the existing $1.6 million unamortized debt issuance costs of the old Senior Debt. $0.9 million of fees associated with
the new RCF were capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the new RCF, along with the existing $0.1 million unamortized fees
attributable to the Prior RCF. Fees paid to third parties of $2.3 million related to the new Senior Debt were expensed as incurred into
Selling, General and Administrative fees.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities**
****
On
November 12, 2025, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with Macquarie Bank Limited designed to protect the
Company against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows on the current floating
rate debt facilities. The swaps are effective from December 9, 2025, until maturity on December 9, 2027. The swaps fix the interest
rate at 3.6208%
on a notional amount of 250.0
million ($336.3
million), payable to Macquarie Bank Limited, with Macquarie Bank Limited paying an amount to the Company on the notional amount of
250.0
million ($336.3
million) at an interest rate equal to the floating amount due on the Senior Notes, subject to a floor of 3.00%.
**Risk
Management Objective of Using Derivatives**
The
Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages
its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages
economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets
and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments
to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts,
the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Companys derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences
in the amount, timing, and duration of the Companys known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally
related to the Companys borrowings.
**Cash
Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk**
The
Companys objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to
interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk
management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in
exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate
debt.
For
derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged
transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified
to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Companys variable-rate debt. During the next twelve-months, the Company
estimates that an additional $0.3 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense.
As
of December 31, 2025, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of
interest rate risk:

**Credit-risk-related
Contingent Features**
****
Each
of Inspired Gaming (UK) Limited and Gaming Acquisitions Limited, wholly owned (indirect) subsidiaries of the Company, (each, a Hedging
Subsidiary) has entered into an industry standard ISDA Master Agreement, with a negotiated Schedule thereto (each, an ISDA
Agreement), with the counterparty to its derivative transactions and which ISDA Agreements set forth various provisions which
govern the relationship between each such Hedging Subsidiary and its counterparty with respect to such derivative instruments. Such provisions
include certain events which, if triggered by either party, may give rise to a termination of the relevant derivative instruments, which
may trigger a requirement for the exchange of a breakage payment between the parties.
Each
ISDA Agreement contains a provision whereby if any of the Companys subsidiaries that has granted credit support in respect of
such derivative transactions defaults on any of its indebtedness above a threshold amount, including default where repayment of such
indebtedness has not been accelerated by the relevant creditor, then the relevant Hedging Subsidiary could also be declared in default
on its derivative obligations. Each ISDA Agreement also contains a provision where the relevant Hedging Subsidiary could be declared
in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the relevant
Hedging Subsidiarys default on its indebtedness.
As
of December 31, 2025, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment
for non-performance risk, related to the ISDA Agreements was $0.5 million. As of December 31, 2025, no Hedging Subsidiary has posted
any collateral related to the ISDA Agreement, as no collateral is required under the terms thereof. If the Hedging Subsidiaries had breached
any of the provisions under the terms, which resulted in an acceleration of the ISDA Agreements, as at December 31, 2025, the Company
could have been required to settle its obligations under the respective ISDA Agreements at their termination value of $0.5 million.
**15.
Fair Value Measurements**
Fair
value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal
or most advantageous market for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
We estimate the fair value of our assets and liabilities utilizing an established three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy is based upon
the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows:
| 
| 
Level
1: | 
Quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
Level
2: | 
Observable
inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient
volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable
or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as
quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions. | |
| 
| 
| 
| |
| 
| 
Level
3: | 
Unobservable
inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Level
3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that are unable to be corroborated with observable
market data. | |
The
fair value of our financial assets and liabilities is determined by reference to market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate.
We believe the fair value of our financial instruments approximates their recorded values.

3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value
of the derivative liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Companys
Principal Financial and Accounting Officer determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development
and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of
the Companys Principal Financial and Accounting Officer.
At
December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no Level 3 inputs, and no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the

Stock-Based Compensation**
The
Companys stock-based compensation plans authorize awards of restricted stock units (RSUs), stock options and other
equity-related awards. The Companys 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2023 Plan) was adopted by the Companys Board
of Directors on April 10, 2023 and approved by our stockholders on May 9, 2023. The 2023 Plan succeeded the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan
and the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (collectively, the Prior Plans) such that shares subject to the unused reserves of
the Prior Plans (e.g., as a result of termination or forfeiture of awards) are instead rolled over to the 2023 Plan. The Company has
two other predecessor plans, the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Second Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the Terminated
Plans), whose available balances were terminated in connection with approval of the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Although outstanding
awards under the Terminated Plans remain governed by the terms of such plans, no new awards may be granted or become available for grant
thereunder.
As
of December 31, 2025, there were (i) 1,306,958 shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2023 Plan, including 493,736 shares subject
to performance-based target awards, 93,750 shares subject to market-price vesting conditions and 283,243 shares subject to awards as
to which the applicable vesting conditions have been met which remain subject to deferred settlement (a portion of which settled in January
2026); (ii) 1,201,716 shares subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans, comprising 97,500 shares subject to market-price vesting
conditions and 1,104,216 shares subject to awards as to which the applicable vesting conditions have been met which remain subject to
deferred settlement (a portion of which settled in January 2026); and (iii) 1,118,686 shares subject to outstanding awards under the
Terminated Plans as to which the applicable vesting conditions have been met which remain subject to deferred settlement. As of December
31, 2025, there were 2,021,962 shares available for new awards under the 2023 Plan (which includes shares rolled over from the Prior
Plans) and no shares available for new awards under the Prior Plans. All awards outstanding as of December 31, 2025 consisted of RSUs
(including time-based RSUs, performance-based RSUs and stock price based RSUs).

The
Company also has an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) that authorizes the issuance of up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares
of common stock pursuant to purchases thereunder by employees. The ESPP, which was approved by stockholders in July 2017, is administered
by the Compensation Committee which has discretion to designate the length of offering periods and other terms subject to the requirements
of the ESPP. Offerings may also be under the ESPPs subplan for UK-based employees (the Subplan) which was adopted
in June 2022 and is designed to meet the requirements of a sharesave plan under UK law. The terms applicable to offerings approved
under the ESPP and Subplan for 2024 are described below. Offerings were not approved for 2025.
ESPP
Eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of base compensation through payroll deductions over a period of twelve months, a
maximum of 1,000 shares may be purchased per participant, the purchase price is equal to 85% of the lower of the closing price of the
common stock at the beginning of the offering period and the end of the offering period and shares are purchased on the last day of the
offering period.
Subplan
(UK) Eligible employees may contribute a maximum amount of 350 per month through payroll deductions over a period of three
years, the purchase price is equal to 85% of the closing price of the common stock on the day prior to commencement of the enrollment
window for the offering, and participants have a period of six months following the end of the offering to elect to purchase shares or
receive a refund.

The
amount shown as granted includes 259,717 performance-based target RSUs for 2025 as to which the number eligible to
vest ranged from 0% to 200% of the target amount of RSUs (a maximum of 519,434 RSUs based on attainment of Adjusted EBITDA targets
for 2025and criteria previously set by the Compensation Committee). The amount shown also includes tranches covering an aggregate
of 104,166 Adjusted EBITDA RSUs (subject to performance criteria for 2025) which were part of sign-on awards of multiple tranches
approved in 2023 for our Executive Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer with respect to which the accounting grant date for the
2025 tranches did not occur until the targets were set in February 2025. | |
| 
| 
| |

The
RSUs that vested during the year ended December 31, 2025 included: (a) approximately 97,935 RSUs that are subject to deferred settlement
terms; and (b) approximately 314,470 RSUs that vested on the last day of the year and were settled on a net share basis in January
2026. | |
The
Company issued a total of 348,141 shares during the year ended December 31, 2025, in connection with the Companys equity-based
plans, which included an aggregate of 274,112 shares issued in connection with the net settlement of RSUs that vested during the prior
year (on December 31, 2024) and an aggregate of 36,968 shares subject to awards that vested between 2020 and 2023.
The
weighted average grant date fair value of awards granted for years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 amounted to $10.33 and
$9.07, respectively. The vesting date value of RSUs vesting for years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 amounted to $4.2
million and $7.6 million, respectively.
When
tax deductions from stock options and awards are less than the cumulative book compensation expense, the tax effect of the resulting
differences is a shortfall. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 an income tax expense of $0.4 million and $0.5
million was recorded for shortfalls generated from stock options and awards exercised in their respective years.
Stock-based
compensation is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. For performance awards
that are contingent upon the Company achieving certain pre-determined financial performance targets, compensation expense is calculated
based on the number of shares expected to vest after assessing the probability that the performance criteria will be met. Determining
the probability of achieving a performance target requires estimates and judgment. For market-based awards that are contingent upon the
Companys stock achieving certain pre-determined price targets, compensation expense is calculated based upon the determination
of the fair value of the awards as derived through multiple running of the Monte Carlo valuation model, with the fair value recognized
on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The requisite service period for awards to employees is generally satisfied
over a vesting period of three years (and one year for non-employee directors). The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. For
stock purchase rights under the Companys ESPP (including its subplan), the Company estimates fair value using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model on the dates of grant, with the compensation expense recognized over the requisite service period.

Net Income (Loss) per Share**
Basic
income/loss per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income/loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives
effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period, including stock options and RSUs, unless the inclusion
would be anti-dilutive.
The
computation of diluted EPS excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because they were contingently
issuable shares or because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

to repurchases being effected on or before November 30, 2028 (the Share Repurchase Program). Management has discretion
as to whether to repurchase shares of the Company.
During
the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 56,604 shares under the Share Repurchase Program for gross payments of approximately
$0.4 million, which were canceled and retired during the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $24.6 million

Income Taxes**
The
effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were (188.6)% and (3,466.2)%, respectively. For the year ended December
31, 2025, the Companys effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to an inclusion for global intangible
low-taxed income. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Companys effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate
primarily due to the reversal of a majority of the Companys valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in various jurisdictions
as well as an inclusion for global intangible low-taxed income.

The
One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the OBBBA) was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The OBBBA contains significant tax law changes
with various effective dates affecting business taxpayers. Among the tax law changes that will impact the Company relate to the timing
and amount of interest expense deductions within global low-taxed income calculation, and deductions and foreign tax credit calculations
related to the global low-taxed income calculation. The tax provision was impacted by the timing and amount of interest expense deductions
within the global low-taxed income calculations in 2025.
As
of December 31, 2025 the Companys cumulative state net operating losses are $48.6 million, which begin to expire in 2026. The
utilization of the Companys state net operating losses may be subject to a limitation in the future due to the change of
ownership provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of December 31, 2025, the Company is not aware of an ownership
change under Section 382.
As
of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company also has gross net operating losses in foreign jurisdictions, primarily the UK, totaling $110.7
million and $66.8 million, respectively. The majority of these net operating losses have an unlimited carry forward period.
Management
evaluates both positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be available to utilize existing
deferred tax assets. A key piece of objective positive evidence considered is the cumulative income generated over a three-year period.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company determined that, due to positive income generation in the United Kingdom in recent years leading
to a cumulative income position, and based on forecasted future taxable income, while considering expected permanent and temporary timing
tax differences, a significant portion of the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets was no longer necessary. As of December
31, 2025, the Company maintains a valuation allowance of $8.2 million in the United States and $2.2 million in the United Kingdom. The
remaining valuation allowance relates to capital loss carryovers in the United Kingdom, state net operating losses unable to be utilized
in the United States and United States interest expected to be limited under Section 163(j).
The
Company has not recognized deferred tax liabilities in respect of unremitted earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested in
foreign subsidiaries. We do not provide for taxes on our undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that have not been previously
taxed because we intend to invest such undistributed earnings indefinitely outside of the United States.
Currently,
there are no federal, state or foreign jurisdiction tax audits pending. The Companys corporate federal and state tax returns from
2022 to 2024 remain subject to examination by tax authorities and the Companys foreign tax returns from 2017 to 2024 remain subject
to examination by tax authorities.
In
accordance with ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions to determine if there are any uncertain tax positions. As of December
31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and has no accrued interest or penalties
related to uncertain tax positions. The Company does not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits
will occur within the next twelve months.

and Macquarie Bank Limited (Macquarie Bank) (a party to our interest rate swap agreements, as described in Note 14) are
affiliates of MIHI LLC, which beneficially owned approximately 11.3%
of our common stock as of December 31, 2025. Macquarie UK held
11%
of the loans outstanding under our previous RCF which was repaid on June 9, 2025 in connection with the entry into the new SFA. Macquarie
UK did not hold any of the Companys outstanding debt as of December 31, 2025 and is not a lending party under the new RCF. At
December 31, 2024, Macquarie UK held $2.1
million of the total $18.8
million of previous RCF drawn. Interest expense payable to
Macquarie UK for the previous RCF for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (including non-utilization fees) amounted to $0.1
million and $0.2
million, respectively. With respect to Macquarie Bank, for
the year ended December 31, 2025, no periodic net settlements had occurred under the swap agreements,
and as of December 31, 2025, no amounts were payable to or receivable from Macquarie Bank.

Leases**
*The
Company as Lessee*
The
Company is party to operating leases with third parties with respect to various real estate and vehicle assets. Both real estate and
vehicle leases typically include a lease (of the property or vehicle) and a non-lease (provision of services) component which are accounted
for separately. Payment terms are typically fixed, however, certain leases may contain various provisions for increases in rental rates
based either on changes in a specific price index (such as the published Consumer Price Index CPI), a predetermined escalation schedule
or rate, or as a percentage of sales. Such variable lease payments are recognized as lease expense as they are incurred. We initially
measure the present value of the lease payments using the index at the lease commencement date. Additional payments based on the future
subsequent change in an index or rate, or payments based on a change in our portion of the operating expenses, including real estate
taxes and insurance, are recorded when incurred as variable payments.
The
lease term begins on the commencement date, which is the date the Company takes possession of the property. The Companys lease
terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options to extend or terminate are assessed on a lease-by-lease basis,
and the ROU assets and lease liabilities are adjusted when it is reasonably certain that the option to extend or terminate will be exercised.
The lease term is used to determine lease classification as an operating or finance lease and is used to calculate straight-line expense
for operating leases. The operating leases have remaining terms of 4 months to 12 years.

*The
Company as Lessor*
Certain
of our arrangements include leases for equipment installed at customer locations. As the lessor, we combine lease and non-lease components
for all classes of underlying assets in arrangements that involve operating leases. The single combined component is accounted for under
ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* based on the consideration that the non-lease components are the predominant items
in the arrangements. If a component cannot be combined, the consideration is allocated between the lease component and the non-lease
component based on relative standalone selling price. The lease component is accounted for under ASC 842, *Leases*and the non-lease
component is accounted for under ASC 606.
Lease
income from operating leases is not material for any of the periods presented. Lease income from sales type leases is as follows:

Commitments and Contingencies**
**Employment
Agreements**
We
are party to employment agreements with our executive officers and other employees of the Company and our subsidiaries which contain,
among other terms, provisions relating to severance and notice requirements.
**Legal
Matters**
From
time to time, the Company may become involved in lawsuits and legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the Company
believes that, currently, it has no such matters that are material, there can be no assurance that existing or new matters arising in
the ordinary course of business will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition or results
of operations.
**26.
Pension Plan**
We
operate a defined contribution plan in the US and both defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans in the UK. The defined
contribution plan assets are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund. The defined contribution
pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Company and amounted to $3.5 million and $3.5 million for the years ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Contributions totaling $0.4 million and $0.4 million were payable to the fund as at December
31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The
defined benefit plan has been closed to new entrants since April 1, 1999 and closed to future accruals for services rendered to the
Company for the entire financial statement periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. Retirement benefits are generally
based on a portion of an employees pensionable earnings during years prior to 2010.
The
latest triennial actuarial valuation of the plan as at March 31, 2024 was finalized in March 2025. The actuarial valuation revealed
that the statutory funding objective was not met, i.e. there were insufficient assets to cover the Plans Technical Provisions
and there was a funding shortfall of 2.0 million ($2.7 million) at the valuation date. Under the Recovery Plan and Schedule of
Contributions agreed between the Trustee and the Company on March 5, 2025, it was agreed that the shortfall will be met by contributions
of 0.6 million ($0.8 million) for the period April 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 and 0.7 million ($0.9 million) for the
year ended December 31, 2025. The Plan Actuary will assess the funding position of the plan at March 31, 2026 and if the funding
level at that point is less than 100% the Company will pay a single lump sum contingent contribution calculated as the lower of the deficit
calculated by the Plan Actuary at March 31, 2026 and 0.5 million ($0.7 million). This contingent contribution will be payable
by October 31, 2026. The Company will also make expense contributions of 0.3 million ($0.4 million) per annum for the period covered
by the Recovery Plan and Schedule of Contributions.

**AS

The
trustee has made an allowance for the pension plan liability profile when deciding the investment strategy of the pension plan. Since
the pension plan is closed to new entrants and ceased future accrual with effect from March 31, 2010, it has continued to mature gradually.
Therefore, the trustee reviews the investment strategy regularly to check whether any changes are needed. When considering the investment
strategy, the trustee has taken into account the effect of any possible increases in the deficit reduction contributions on the financial
position of the Company, and the extent to which the Company will be able to bear these changes.
The
plans investment policy is to maximize long-term financial return commensurate with security and minimizing risk, with an objective
of achieving a return of around 2.8% per annum above the return on UK Government bonds. This is achieved by holding a portfolio of marketable
investments that avoids over-concentration of investment and spreads assets both over industries and geographies. In setting investment
strategy, the trustees considered the lowest risk strategy that they could adopt in relation to the plans liabilities and designed
an asset allocation to achieve a higher return while maintaining a cautious approach to meeting the plans liabilities. The trustees
undertake periodic reviews of the investment strategy and take advice from their investment advisors. They consider a full range of asset
classes, the risks and rewards of a range of alternative asset allocation strategies, the suitability of each asset class and the need
for appropriate diversification. The current strategy is to hold 14.9% in a diversified growth fund, 15.5% in diversified credit, 6.8%
in synthetic equity, 2.5% in synthetic credit, 22.3% in core liability driven investment funds and 38% in a buy-in policy.
The
Company recognizes gains or losses on pension settlements if the cost of the settlements exceeds the sum of service and interest cost
for the year. Lump-sum settlements are monitored at the end of every quarter to determine whether settlement amounts have exceeded the
defined thresholds. In instances where the Company determines that it is probable that the lump settlements could exceed the sum of interest
and service cost for the year, the Company accounts for the settlements as they occur.
Our
pension benefit costs are calculated using various actuarial assumptions and methodologies. These assumptions include discount rates,
inflation, expected returns on plan assets, mortality rates and other factors. The assumptions used in recording the obligations under
our plans represent our best estimates, and we believe that they are reasonable, based on information as to historical experience and
performance as well as other factors that might cause future expectations to differ from past trends. Differences in actual experience
or changes in assumptions may affect our pension obligations and future expense. The principal factors contributing to actuarial gains
and losses each year are (1) changes in the discount rate used to value pension benefit obligations as of the measurement date and (2)
differences between the expected and the actual return on plan assets.
Our
valuation methodologies used for pension assets measured at fair value are as follows. There have been no changes in the methodologies
used at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The
diversified fund is valued at fair value by using the net asset value (NAV) of shares held by the plan at the year end.
The NAV of the diversified fund is not publicly quoted. The majority of the underlying securities have observable Level 1 or 2 pricing
inputs, including quoted prices for similar assets in active or non-active markets. ASC 820 states that where NAV is allowed to be used
as an estimate of fair value, if the reporting entity has the ability to redeem its investment at NAV as of the measurement date, that
investment shall be categorized as a Level II fair value measurement. If the investment cannot be redeemed at the measurement date, but
may be redeemable in the future, but at an uncertain date, the investment shall be categorized as a Level 3 fair value measurement.
As
of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the diversified fund was redeemable at NAV as of the measurement dates.
With
respect to the buy-in contract, it was agreed during the year ended September 27, 2014, that 281 pensioners of the plan would be insured
by means of a pensioner buy-in. The pensioner buy-in contract is similar to an annuity contract, which matches cash flows with future
benefit payments for a specific group of pensioners, with the obligation remaining with the plan. The liabilities and assets in respect
of insured pensioners are assumed to match for the purposes of ASC 715, Pensions - Retirement Benefits, disclosures (i.e. the full benefits,
excluding the cost of equalization for Guaranteed Minimum Pensions, have been insured). The approach adopted has therefore been to include
within the total value of assets, an amount equal to the fair value of the buy-in assets and to set the buy-in portion of the total liability
(pension benefit obligation) equal to the fair value of the buy-in based on the actuarial assumptions adopted for ASC 715 purposes at
each measurement date. The buy-in contract is valued on an insurer pricing basis, reflecting assumptions on the purchase price adjusted
for changes in discount rates and other actuarial assumptions, which approximates fair value and is, therefore, classified as Level 3.

Segment Reporting and Geographic Information**
Operating
segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate and discrete financial information is available and is
used by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess
performance. The Companys chief decision-making group consists of the Executive Chairman and the President and Chief
Executive Officer.
The
Companys chief decision-making group uses measures of segment profit and loss to evaluate the performance areas of 1) Achievement
of revenue and gross margin; 2) Level of staff and non-staff expenses against budget; 3) Investment in capitalized software development;
and 4) Additional cash expenditures impacting working capital. The decision-making group uses the information to allocate financial resources
and drive operation decisions such as investing in new customers, products, geographies and refocusing commercial teams to drive new
sales, accelerating or delaying staffing or other selling, general and administrative expenditures and ensuring technology staff utilization
on new product development.
The
Company operates its business along four operating segments, which are segregated on the basis of revenue stream: Gaming, Virtual Sports,
Interactive and Leisure. The Company believes this method of segment reporting reflects both the way its business segments are managed
and the way the performance of each segment is evaluated.
Other
segment items consist of costs incurred in restructuring activities.
The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

**AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024**
The
following tables present revenue, cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, staff-related selling, general and administrative
expenses, non-staff related selling, general and administrative expenses, labor costs capitalized, depreciation and amortization, stock-based
compensation expense, other segment items, operating profit/(loss), and total capital and other long-lived asset expenditures for the
years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, by business segment. Certain unallocated corporate function costs
have not been allocated to the Companys reportable operating segments because these costs are not allocable and to do so would
not be practical. Corporate function costs consist primarily of selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization,
capital expenditures, right of use assets, cash, prepaid expenses and property and equipment and software development costs relating
to corporate/shared functions. Asset information by reportable segment is not given as this information is not provided to the Companys
chief decision-making group due to it not being considered necessary in order for the group to assess the reportable segments
performance or to make decisions concerning the allocation of resources.

9A. Controls and Procedures.**
**Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.**
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure
controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Executive Chairman
and our Chief Financial Officer (together, the Certifying Officers), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our Certifying Officers, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that
the Companys disclosure controls and procedures on December 31, 2025, were not effective, due to the material weaknesses described
below.
Considering
these material weaknesses, we performed additional analyses as deemed necessary to ensure that our financial statements were accurately
prepared and in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
**Managements
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting as Part of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002 (SOX)**
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Insofar as the Company
is subject to Section 404(b) of SOX, this Annual Report on Form 10-K includes an opinion by our external auditors on the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2025, in addition to managements assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting under the requirements of Section 404(a) of SOX. Our internal control over financial reporting
is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated
financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes
those policies and procedures that:
(1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of our Company.
(2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements
in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management
and directors; and
(3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of any unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets
that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Management
has assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the
criteria set forth in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on that assessment, our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, were not effective, based upon the material
weaknesses discussed below.
Management
has made significant progress in successfully remediating a substantial number of our historical material weaknesses, significant deficiencies
and control deficiencies which were identified in our internal control over financial reporting assessment at December 31, 2024.
| 65 | |
| | |
A
material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that
there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected
and corrected on a timely basis.
**Identified
Material Weaknesses**
****
*Revenue
& Accounts Receivable*
The
Company has identified a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting as it relates to the ineffective design of certain
key activity level controls within the revenue and accounts receivable cycles as well as controls which depend upon these controls for
their effectiveness.
*IT
General Controls*
**
The
Company has identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the Companys change management
and access controls for one application that supports the capture and approval of invoices that was not operating effectively to ensure:
| 
| IT
program and data changes affecting the Companys financially relevant application are
properly identified, tested, authorized, and implemented, to ensure changes are appropriate, | |
| 
| Appropriate
segregation of duties is maintained to adequately restrict user and privileged access to
the financially relevant application and underlying accounting records to the appropriate
Company personnel. | |
Due
to the pervasive nature of the deficiency, automated process-level and manual controls that depend on information derived from this financially
relevant application were also determined to be ineffective.
**
*Capitalized
Software and Contract Costs*
**
The
Company has identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as it relates to ineffective design of certain
controls over the accounting for capitalized software and contract costs within the software development cycle.
**Remediation**
****
Management
was successful in remediating a substantial number of deficiencies from FY 2024. During 2025, the company hired additional personnel,
refined business processes and implemented new systems and tools to enhance the financial reporting process and operational controls.
Management
believes the matters described above are planned and expected to be remediated during the financial reporting period ending December
31, 2026.
****
**Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**
As
disclosed in the Companys evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures on December 31, 2024, management identified material
weaknesses related to the ineffective design and execution of business process controls, monitoring controls, and ITGCs, which resulted
in pervasive deficiencies across financial reporting processes. During the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the items identified
above, management has successfully remediated these previously identified material weaknesses through (i) hiring additional qualified
accounting and SOX personnel, (ii) implementing new financial systems and enhancing system configurations, (iii) designing and implementing
new and enhanced process-level controls across all significant financial reporting cycles, (iv) enhancing documentation of U.S. GAAP
accounting policies and procedures, (v) strengthening management review controls and evidentiary standards, (vi) implementing and testing
IT change management and logical access controls across in-scope applications; and (vii) establishing a formalized SOX testing and monitoring
program. Management evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of these newly implemented and enhanced controls during 2025.
Except
for the changes noted above in connection with the initiatives to remediate prior material weaknesses, there have been no other changes
in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during
the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

**REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING**
To
the Shareholders and Board of Directors of 
Inspired
Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries
****
**Adverse
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**
****
We
have audited Inspired Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses****
described in the subsequent paragraphs on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria,
the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria
established in *Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission.
A
material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there
is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in Managements Annual
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:
The
Company has identified a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting as it relates to the ineffective design of certain
key activity level controls within the revenue and accounts receivable cycles as well as controls which depend upon these controls for
their effectiveness.
The
Company has identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the Companys change management
and access controls for one application that supports the capture and approval of invoices that was not operating effectively to ensure:
| 
| IT
program and data changes affecting the Companys financially relevant application are
properly identified, tested, authorized, and implemented, to ensure changes are appropriate, | |
| 
| Appropriate
segregation of duties is maintained to adequately restrict user and privileged access to
the financially relevant application and underlying accounting records to the appropriate
Company personnel. | |
Due
to the pervasive nature of the deficiency, automated process-level and manual controls that depend on information derived from this financially
relevant application were also determined to be ineffective.
The
Company has identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as it relates to ineffective design of certain
controls over the accounting for capitalized software and contract costs within the software development cycle.
These
material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the fiscal December
31, 2025 financial statements and this report does not affect our report dated March 10, 2026 on those financial statements.
We
have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB),
the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss)
income, shareholders deficit, and cash flows as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 of the Company and our report dated
March 10, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

**Basis
for Opinion**
The
Companys management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managements Annual Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial
reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect
to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit
of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing
the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based
on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
**Definition
and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting**
A
companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or that degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
