Dermot Smurfit, CEO of GAN commented:
"The Group generated positive clean EBITDA(1) in H1 2017
following a substantial multi-year period of investment focused on
the US land-based casino Industry. We anticipate this favourable
EBITDA trend to continue throughout H2 2017.
The first half of 2017 saw continued growth in recurring
revenues driven by the launch of five new clients of Simulated
Gaming and strong growth in real money Regulated Gaming markets in
the US and Europe.
We remain encouraged by the growth characteristics of Simulated
Gaming and have already seen a major uplift in player activity as
we begin to experience the onset of the seasonally strong
Autumn/Fall period.
GAN's Overseas Internet Casino for one of the largest casino
operating groups in the US represents the culmination of GAN's
long-term mission to move land-based US casinos online in domestic
US intra-State markets or selected International regulated markets.
This represents an exciting new B2B business for GAN, which will
benefit greatly from the client's material marketing
investment.
As the numbers illustrate our Group has now moved into
sustainable profitability at the clean EBITDA(1) level. Growth
prospects for Simulated Gaming(TM) and real money Regulated Gaming
continue to offer the Company a viable path to creating significant
incremental shareholder value."

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Summary
Net revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2017 was GBP4.1m
compared to GBP3.9m for the six months ended 30 June 2016. Clean
EBITDA of GBP24,000 is GBP0.6m favourable to the prior year period
clean EBITDA loss of GBP0.5m. Loss after taxation of GBP2.0m for
the current period compared to a loss before and after taxation of
GBP2.3m in the comparative period.
The Group continues to benefit from focusing on building its
recurring revenue base in both of its primary markets, the US and
Italy, while accelerating measures to reduce the underlying cost
base of the business without compromising product or customer
delivery. Overall B2B and B2C recurring revenues have grown by 24%
year on year and now represent 86% of total net revenue compared to
76% in the comparative half year period. The US remains the Group's
principal market and net revenue of GBP2.6m increased by GBP0.1m
over the comparative period and accounts for 63% of total net
revenue. Real money gaming revenue from the Italian market has
increased by 33% and now represents 31% of total net revenue. The
group has continued to rationalise its cost base principally
through the expansion of its technical development office in
Bulgaria.
On 28 April, 2017, the Group announced that it had raised gross
proceeds of GBP2.0m through the successful placing of a 9%
unsecured convertible loan note issue. The new capital will enable
the Group to take advantage of expected real money regulated gaming
opportunities in the US as well as for working capital and general
business development opportunities.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period was GBP3.3m
compared to GBP4.0m at 30 June 2016 and GBP3.2m at 31 December
2016. Net Assets at 30 June 2017 of GBP9.0m compared to GBP10.5m at
30 June 2016 and GBP10.9m for the year ended 31 December 2016.
Revenue
Gross income of GBP18.6m for the six months ended 30 June 2017
represents an increase of GBP2.7m compared to the period ended 30
June 2016. Net revenue for the period of GBP4.1m is GBP0.2m higher
than the comparative six month period primarily due to increased
revenue share from both the Italian and US markets. B2B net revenue
of GBP3.9m is GBP0.2m, 5% higher than the comparative period while
B2C net revenue of GBP0.2m is consistent with the prior year
period.
The Group categorises B2B net revenue into two distinct revenue
streams; revenue share and other revenue (recurring in nature) and
game and platform development (one time and primarily non-recurring
in nature). Recurring revenues are principally generated in the
real money gaming markets of Italy in Europe and New Jersey in the
US and by Simulated Gaming(TM) markets in the US and Australia. B2B
recurring revenues have increased by 26% from GBP2.7m in the prior
year comparative period to GBP3.4m for the six months ended June 30
2017 and account for 82% of overall Group net revenue. This growth
has been due to increases in both Simulated Gaming(TM) and real
money gaming revenues from the US and Italian markets. Game and
platform development revenue has decreased to GBP0.6m from GBP1.0m
in the first half of 2016 as a result of reduced non-recurring real
money gaming platform development fees in the US market.
Expenses
Distribution costs include royalties payable to third parties,
B2B and B2C direct marketing expenditure, the direct costs of
operating the hardware platforms deployed across the business, and
depreciation and amortisation, which in total have increased from
GBP3.4m in the comparative period to GBP3.6m for the six months
ended 30 June 2017. The increase is due primarily to amortisation
of intangible assets of GBP1.9m (2016 HY: GBP1.4m), an increase of
GBP0.5m, as a result of our substantial investment in product and
system development and also due to increased royalties payable to
providers of third party games content in Italy for real money
gaming and in the US for Simulated Gaming(TM) consequent to
increased revenues. Expenditure on B2B marketing and technology
infrastructure has reduced significantly, partially offsetting the
increased amortisation and royalty expenditure, as the Group
continues to benefit from prior period investment in these
areas.
Administration expenses include the costs of personnel and
related expenditure for the London, Las Vegas and Sofia offices.
Total administrative expenses have increased slightly from GBP2.8m
in the prior year comparative period to GBP2.9m for the six months
ended 30 June 2017. Reduced ongoing expenditure on personnel and
related expenditure as

FINANCIAL REVIEW (Continued)
a result of a headcount restructuring earlier in the period has
been offset by the impact of redundancy costs and unfavourable
foreign exchange movements.
EBITDA
Clean EBITDA is a non GAAP company specific measure and excludes
interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, share based payment
expense and other items which the directors consider to be
non-recurring and one time in nature. The directors regard Clean
EBITDA as a reliable measure of profits that is not unduly
subjective.
Clean EBITDA for the six month period ended 30 June 2017 of
GBP24,000 is GBP0.6m better than the comparative figure (2016 Clean
EBITDA loss of GBP0.5m), primarily due to increased B2B net revenue
of GBP0.2m and reduced distribution and administration expenses
before depreciation, amortisation and exceptional items of
GBP0.4m.
Cashflow
The cash balance at 30 June 2017 was GBP3.3m representing an
increase of GBP0.1m from 31 December 2016 (GBP3.2m). During the six
month period, the Group has continued to invest in its Internet
Gaming System deployment capability and product enhancement however
cash has increased by GBP0.1m from the year-end balance at 31
December 2016 (GBP3.2m) as a result of the 9% unsecured convertible
loan note issue in April 2017 which generated GBP2.0m in gross
proceeds.
In addition to operating cash outflow before movements in
working capital and taxation of GBP0.3m, cash outflows during the
period include GBP1.7m in incremental investment in intangible
fixed assets primarily related to the capitalisation of internal
development time and working capital movement of GBP0.1m offset by
cash generated from financing activities of GBP2.0m following the
issue of the convertible loan note in April of this period. Net
cash generated during the period of GBP0.1m resulted in an
increased cash balance at 30 June 2017 of GBP3.3m.
Outlook
B2B revenue share and other revenue is expected to show
continued growth for the second half of the year. In the US market,
revenues from the 13 US based Simulated Gaming(TM) casino operators
at 30 June 2017 are expected to benefit from the seasonally strong
autumn period and the impact of full year revenues for operators
launched during the first half of the year. The Group began the
year with nine Simulated Gaming(TM) operators, including one
operator in Australia, and launched five new casino operators
during the period; Turning Stone Resort Casino in March and a
further four operators in May including Winstar World Casino and
Resort. The Group expects to experience significant growth in
Simulated Gaming(TM) revenues in the second half of the year as a
result of these new launches and from further product development
expected to generate incremental revenues for both new and existing
operators. In addition, the strong revenue growth from Italian real
money gaming operators realised in the six months ended 30 June
2017 is expected to persist for the remainder of the year.
B2B game and platform development revenues are expected to
increase in the second half of the year primarily due to
development revenues to be recognised upon the launch of a new real
money gaming website and mobile application as a result of an
extension of an existing partnership with a major US casino
operator.
The Group expects distribution costs to increase due to
increased royalties payable to third parties as a result of
increased Italian real money gaming revenues and US Simulated
Gaming(TM) revenues. Administrative expenses before foreign
exchange movements are expected to remain stable in the second half
of the year as the Group continues to expand its technical
development office in the lower cost market of Bulgaria.
The Group has raised gross proceeds year to date of GBP2.0m in
order to take advantage of expected real money regulated gaming
opportunities in the US as well as for working capital and general
business development opportunities.

GAN plc
For the period ended 30 June 2017
Notes to the financial statements
1. Basis of preparation and accounting policies
The financial information in this document has been prepared in
accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of
International Financial Reporting Standards, International
Accounting Standards and interpretations (collectively, "IFRS")
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as
adopted by the European Union ("adopted IFRSs").
The financial information for the period ended 30 June 2017 does
not constitute the full statutory accounts for that period. The
Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2016 have been filed
with the Registrar of Companies. The Independent Auditors' Report
on the Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2016 was
unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of
emphasis, and did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of
the Companies Act 2006.
This interim report, which has neither been audited nor reviewed
by independent auditors, was approved by the board of directors on
28 September 2017. The financial information in this interim report
has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and
measurement requirements of International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted for use in the EU (IFRSs). The accounting
policies applied by the Group in this financial information are the
same as those applied by the Group in its financial statements for
the year ended 31 December 2016, with the addition of a new
accounting policy to reflect the issue of a convertible loan note
during the year. The loan note will be treated as debt, without any
equity component, in line with management judgement, including
annual interest accrued on a straight line basis. These accounting
policies will form the basis of the 2017 financial statements.
Adoption of new and revised standards
In the current period the Group has adopted all of the new and
revised standards and interpretations issued by the IASB and the
International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC)
of the IASB, as they have been adopted by the European Union, that
are relevant to its operations and effective for accounting years
beginning on 1 January 2017. None of the new standards adopted had
a material impact on the Financial Statements of the Group.
New standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have
been issued but are not effective (and in some cases had not yet
been adopted by the EU) for the financial year beginning 1 January
2017. These have not been early adopted and the Directors are still
considering the potential impact of IFRS9: Financial Instruments,
IFRS15: Revenue from Contracts with customers and IFRS 16:
Leases.
2. Judgements and estimates
The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity
with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial
statements, the significant judgements made by management in
applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of
estimation uncertainty were consistent with those that applied to
the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended
31 December 2016. In issuing the convertible loan note during the
year, management have made judgement that the interest rate of the
loan reflects the fair value of the debt and therefore there is no
equity component to be recognised.
The risks and uncertainties and significant estimates and
judgements faced by the Group have not changed significantly since
the 2016 Annual Report was published and are not expected to change
significantly during the remaining six months of the financial
year.

4. Segmental information
Information reported to the Group's Chief Executive, the
strategic chief operating decision--maker, for the purposes of
resource allocation and assessment of the Group's segmental
performance is primarily focused on the origination of the revenue
stream. The Group's reportable segment under IFRS 8 is Business to
business ("B2B").
In the prior year the Group reported principal segments of "B2B
and "B2C". The current distinction between segments has been agreed
by the Board in light of the continued strategic move toward a B2B
only market, the relative insignificance of the B2C operations, and
reflects the management reporting to the chief operating decision
maker. The category 'Other' reflects the group's B2C operations,
which the Board consider is no longer a reportable segment.
Segment revenues and results
The following is an analysis of the Group's revenue and results

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

Long term loan
In April 2017, the Group raised GBP2m following issue of
2,001,483 GBP1 Convertible Unsecured loan notes.
The loan notes have an interest rate of 9% payable quarterly in
arrears from 1 January 2018, with redemption in April 2022. During
the period interest of GBP30,000 was accrued in relation to the
loan notes.
The loan notes can be converted into Ordinary shares at a
conversion price of 45.5p per Ordinary share, provided noteholders
pass a special resolution resolving to convert them.
The directors do not believe there is any equity component of
the convertible loan as the interest rate reflects the fair value
of the debt and therefore the loan note is treated as a
liability.

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