EXPLANATORY NOTE
GAN Ltd, (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment No. 1”) to amend its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 16, 2021 (the “Original Form 10-Q”). The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to restate our previously issued unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, contained in the Original Form 10-Q (the “Restatement”).
Restatement Background
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company performed reviews of various process and the Company identified errors in the accounting for capitalized software development costs, as well as errors relating to the recognition of revenue associated with certain contractual deliverables. Based on this review, the Company determined that it improperly included employee costs for individuals that were not performing development activities within the capitalization process, and determined that a portion of the initial revenue recognized at the onset of certain customer contracts should instead have been recognized over the full term of the contract as the performance obligations were not complete during the periods at which such revenues were recognized. The effects of the error resulted in an overstatement of capitalized software development costs and revenue, resulting in an increase of previously reported net loss by $1.0 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. See Note 2 — Restatement of Prior Financial Information, for additional information.
The Company’s management and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determined that a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting due to the lack of precision of management review controls that would prevent or detect material misstatements. This material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting resulted in the overstatement of capitalized software development costs and accelerated recognition of revenues. As such, Item 4 of Part I has been amended for our assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Refer to Controls and Procedures in Part I, Item 4.
Items Amended in this Amendment No. 1
The Amendment sets forth the information in the Original Filing in its entirety, as adjusted for the effects of the Restatement. The following items have been amended to reflect the Restatement:
● | Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements | |
● | Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations | |
● | Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures | |
● | Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors | |
● | Part II, Item 6, Exhibits |
Except as described above this Amendment No. 1 does not amend, update or change any other disclosures in the Original Form 10-Q. In addition, the information contained in this Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the Original Form 10-Q and does not modify or update the disclosures therein, except to reflect the effects of the Restatement.
This Amendment includes new certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer dated as of the date of filing of this Amendment, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS
GAN Limited (the “Parent,” and with its subsidiaries, collectively the “Company”) is an exempted company limited by shares, incorporated and registered in Bermuda. GAN plc, the previous parent, began its operations in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) in 2002 and listed its ordinary shares on the AIM, the London Stock Exchange’s market for smaller companies, in 2013. In May 2020, pursuant to a statutory Scheme of Arrangement under Part 26 of U.K Companies Act of 2006 (“Scheme of Arrangement”) approved by the shareholders of GAN plc, the shareholders of GAN plc exchanged their shares in GAN plc for shares in the Parent, thereby migrating the Company’s jurisdiction of organization from the U.K. to Bermuda. Thereafter, GAN Limited became the parent company of GAN plc. GAN plc was renamed GAN (UK) Limited (“GAN UK”).
The Company is a business-to-business (“B2B”) supplier of Internet gambling Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) solutions predominately to the U.S. land-based casino industry and a business-to-consumer (“B2C”) developer and operator of an online sports betting and casino platform. The Company has developed a proprietary Internet gambling enterprise software system, GameSTACK™ (“GameSTACK”), which it licenses to land-based casino operators as a turnkey technology solution for regulated real money Internet gambling (“RMiG”), Internet sports gaming, and virtual simulated gaming (“SIM”).
The Company operates in two operating segments – B2B and B2C. The Company’s B2B segment is involved in the design, development and licensing of sports betting and casino gaming software to land-based casino operators. The Company’s B2C segment provides international users with access to its sportsbook, casino games and poker products.
On January 1, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Vincent Group p.l.c., a Malta public limited company doing business as Coolbet (Note 5). Coolbet is a developer and operator of an online sports betting and casino platform. Coolbet operates a B2C casino and sports-betting platform that is accessible through its website in nine national markets across Northern Europe (Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden), Latin America (Chile, Ecuador, and Peru) and North America (Canada).
NOTE 2 — RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2021, the Company has identified errors made in the Company’s historical condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The errors primarily relate to (i) improperly capitalized costs for non-developers that did not meet the criteria of development activities in accordance with the applicable guidance and (ii) significant customization services provided during the set-up of RMiG instances, previously recognized at a point in time, which are only provided by the company and are not distinct. The related consideration should be allocated to the separately identifiable performance obligation consisting of access to the SaaS platform, recognized over time as the Company provides services to its customer in its delivery of services to the player end user. The impact of correcting the improperly capitalized costs is to reverse the capitalized costs and related amortization expense and recognize the expense within product and technology expense. The impact of correcting the revenues improperly recognized at a point in time is to reverse the revenues and recognize contract liabilities, as well as a pro-rata portion of the fixed fees as revenues for the period of the contract completed to date.

NOTE 3 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The financial data and other financial information disclosed in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements related to these periods are also unaudited. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2021 or for any future annual or interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“2020 Form 10-K”).
Share Exchange and Reorganization
On May 5, 2020, GAN Limited completed a share exchange and reorganization pursuant to a Scheme of Arrangement, whereby the shareholders of GAN plc agreed to exchange their ordinary shares on a basis of ordinary shares to one ordinary share, for shares of GAN Limited, plus a pro rata portion of an aggregate of $ (£ or pence per share) in cash (“Share Exchange”). Immediately subsequent to the Share Exchange, the shareholders of GAN Limited held the same economic interest as they had in GAN plc prior to the Share Exchange. Holders of share options in GAN plc also received reciprocal share options as applicable, in GAN Limited. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared as if GAN Limited had been the parent entity for the periods presented. All share and per share amounts prior to the date of the share exchange and reorganization in these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Share Exchange.
NOTE 4 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s significant accounting policies are included in “Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of its 2020 Form 10-K. In addition to repeating some of these significant accounting policies, the Company has added significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2021 below.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making estimates, actual results could differ from the original estimates, and may require significant adjustments to these reported balances in the future periods.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of the Parent and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar while the Company’s foreign subsidiaries use their local currencies as their functional currencies. The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. Dollars based on the current exchange rate prevailing at each reporting period. Revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. Dollars using the average exchange rates prevailing for each period presented. Translation adjustments that arise from translating a foreign subsidiary’s financial statements from their functional currency to U.S. Dollars are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.
Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as incurred. Foreign currency transaction and remeasurement gains and losses were a net gain (loss) of $2,443 and $(7,035) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Foreign currency transaction and remeasurement gains and losses were a net gain (loss) of $41 and $(1,279) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Risks and Uncertainties – COVID-19
The coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which was declared a national emergency in the United States in March 2020, has significantly impacted the economic conditions and financial markets around the world. The closure of land-based casinos, social distancing, shelter-in-place, and similar restrictions implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic led to increases in the Company’s existing and new player activity in its online iGaming offerings as compared to historic trends, primarily at the start of the second quarter of 2020. Player activity in connection with the iGaming business has generally returned to pre-pandemic levels, or in certain cases, has increased, following the re-opening of land-based casinos and easing of local restrictions.
In certain of its international markets in which the Company’s B2C business has entered into recently (and has experienced significant growth during the first two quarters of 2021), it is not possible for the Company to estimate the impact, if any, the closure and re-opening of land-based casinos may have had, or may have, on its past or future operating results as the Company does not have any pre-COVID-19 comparative information for these markets.
Operating results in connection with the Company’s sports betting offerings, which initially declined due to the postponement and cancellation of major sporting events, are trending positively as compared to pre-pandemic levels following the return of sporting events (albeit at limited capacities for certain events). Primarily during the first three quarters of 2020, the cancellation of certain sporting events reduced related sports betting transactions, although the Company did experience slight increases in casino revenues as a result. While most sporting events have now resumed (some of which are held behind closed-doors or at limited capacities in stadiums), uncertainties still remain around these and other upcoming large-scale sporting events which can create higher volatility in the sports betting markets and may adversely impact the Company’s future financial results.
While the Company’s iGaming business has proven resilient during the pandemic, the ultimate impact of the pandemic on our operating results is unknown and will depend, in part, on the length of time COVID-19 disruptions exist and the subsequent behavior of players after restrictions are fully lifted. A recurrence of COVID-19 cases or an emergence of additional variants could adversely impact the Company’s future financial results, though results from the Company’s iGaming business may partially offset any reduction to the Company’s sports betting transactions. Significant uncertainties continue to exist as it relates to the magnitude of impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has considered the impact of COVID-19 on its accounting policies, judgments and estimates as part of the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Management and the Board of Directors are monitoring the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and have not identified any major operational challenges through the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has not experienced significant impacts to its liquidity to date. COVID-19 may impact the Company’s ability to access capital to the extent it affects the U.S capital markets. The Company has assessed the extent to which COVID-19 has impacted events after the reporting date and has not identified additional items to disclose as a result.

Revenue Recognition
Platform and Content Fees
The Company’s platform and content revenues are generated primarily from its Internet gambling SaaS platform, GameSTACK, that its customers use to provide real money and simulated Internet gaming, and online sports betting. The Company enters into service agreements with its customers, that generally range from to five years, and includes renewal provisions, under which it charges fees based on a percentage of the operator’s net gaming revenue or net sports win at the time of settlement of an event for real money gaming, considered usage-based fees, or at the time of purchase for in-game virtual credit for simulated gaming. The customers cannot take possession of the hosted software. Further, the Company generates revenues from the licensing of proprietary and third-party branded games (collectively “content licensing services”) hosted on the platform.
The Company’s promise to provide the RMiG SaaS platform and content licensing services on the hosted software is a single performance obligation. This performance obligation is recognized over time, as the Company provides services to its customer in its delivery of services to the player end user. The Company’s customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company as it delivers services to its customers. Usage based fees are considered variable consideration as the service is to provide unlimited continuous access to its hosted application and usage of the hosted system is primarily controlled by the player end user. The transaction price includes fixed and variable consideration and is generally due thirty days from the date of invoice. Variable consideration is allocated entirely to the period in which consideration is earned as the variable amounts relate specifically to the customer’s usage of the platform that day and allocating the usage-based fees to each day is consistent with the allocation objective, primarily that the change in amounts reflect the changing value to the customer.
Purchases of virtual credits within a transaction period on the SIM platform, generally a monthly convention, are earned at a point in time, upon the close of the respective period as the credit has no monetary value, cannot be redeemed, exchanged, transferred or withdrawn, represents solely a device for tracking game play during the month, does not obligate the Company to provide future services and the arrangements with the customer and player end user have no substantive termination penalty. In certain service agreements with SIM customers, the Company receives the fees for in-game virtual credit purchases made by end-user players and remits payment to the SIM casino operator (customer) for their share of the SIM revenues generated from the Company’s platform. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has recorded a liability of $1,957 and $2,520, respectively, for its customers’ share of the fees within other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s RMiG and SIM enterprise software platform offerings include iGaming content licensing services. The GameSTACK platform is capable of supporting, and is available to the customer, for both proprietary and third-party licensed gaming content. The customer, in this case the casino operator, generally controls the determination of which gaming content will be offered in their online casinos.
A customer can utilize the Company’s proprietary or licensed gaming content, or a customer can direct the Company to procure third-party gaming content on its behalf. The Company has determined it acts as the principal for providing the content licensing services when the Company controls the gaming content, and therefore presents the revenue on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations. When the customer directs the Company to procure third-party gaming content, the Company determined it is deemed an agent for providing the content licensing services, and therefore, records the revenue, net of licensing costs paid to the suppliers of that gaming content, in the consolidated statements of operations.
Gaming
The Company operates the B2C gaming site www.Coolbet.com outside of the U.S., which is built on proprietary software and includes the following product offerings: sportsbook, poker, casino, live casino and virtual sports.
The Company manages an online sportsbook allowing users to place various types of wagers on the outcome of sporting events conducted around the world. The Company operates as the bookmaker and offers fixed odds wagering on events. When a user’s wager wins, the Company pays the user a pre-determined amount known as fixed odds. Revenue from sportsbook is reported net after deduction of player winnings and bonuses. Revenue from wagers is recognized when the outcome of the event is known.
The Company offers live casino through its digital online casino offering in select markets, allowing users to place a wager and play games virtually at retail casinos. The Company offers users a catalog of over 2,000 third-party iGaming products such as digital slot machines and table games such as blackjack and roulette. Revenue from casino games is reported net after deduction of winnings, jackpot contribution and customer bonuses.
Peer-to-peer poker offerings allow users to play poker against one another on the Company’s online poker platform for prize money. Revenue from poker is reported at rake, less tournament costs and customer bonuses.
In each of the online gaming products, a single performance obligation exists at the time a wager is made to operate the games and award prizes or payouts to users based on a particular outcome. Revenue is recognized at the conclusion of each contest, wager, or wagering game hand. Additionally, certain incentives given to users, for example, that allow the user to make an additional wager at a reduced price, may provide the user with a material right which gives rise to a separate performance obligation. Such user incentives are recognized as a reduction to revenue upon redemption or as revenue when the incentive expires.

Development Services
Gaming Development Services
Revenue is generated from fees for development of games for use on its RMiG and SIM platforms. The development revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the game is transferred, typically the earlier of the customer’s acceptance or upon receipt of the certification of the game.
Platform Development Services
Platform development services consist of fees charged for ongoing development services to provide updates to the RMiG platforms for enhanced functionality or customization. Ongoing platform development services are typically billed monthly, at a daily rate, for services performed. Revenue from RMiG platform development services are considered additional distinct promises to the customer as they access the platform in a single-tenant architecture, the added features provide new, discrete capabilities independent of the original features and provide independent value to the customer. Revenue is recognized over time as the Company performs the services. For development services charged at a daily rate, revenue is measured using an input method based on effort expended, which uses direct labor hours incurred. As the performance obligations in these instances relate to the provision of development services over time, this method best reflects the transfer of control as the Company performs. In contracts that require a portion of the consideration to be received in advance, at the commencement of the contract, such advance payment is initially recorded as a contract liability.
Computer Hardware Sales
The Company resells third-party hardware, such as computing servers and other technical devices, upon which the GameSTACK software platform is installed for its customers, however the platform remains remotely controlled and maintained by the Company. Customers cannot take possession of the platform even when hosted on hardware that is owned by the customer or on third-party hardware. Neither the customer nor the Company retain substantially all of the economic benefits from their use of the hardware. These products are not required to be purchased in order to access the GameSTACK platform but are sold as a convenience to the customer. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the hardware transfers to the customer. Control is transferred after the hardware has been procured, delivered, installed at the client’s premises and configured to allow for remote access.
The Company has determined that it is acting as the principal in these transactions as it takes responsibility for procuring, delivering, installing and configuring the hardware at the customer’s location and takes control of the hardware, prior to transfer. Revenue is presented at the gross amount of consideration to which it is entitled from the customer in exchange for the hardware.
Patent Licensing Revenue
The Company generates revenue from time to time from the licensing of its U.S. patent, which governs the linkage of on-property reward cards to their counterpart Internet gambling accounts together with bilateral transmission of reward points between the Internet gambling technology system and the land-based casino management system present in all U.S casino properties. The nature of the promise in transferring the license is to provide a right to use the patent as it exists. The Company does not have to undertake activities to change the functionality of the patent during the license period and the license has significant stand-alone functionality. Therefore, the Company recognizes the revenue from the license of the patent, at the point in time when control of the license is transferred to the customer. Control is determined to transfer at the point in time the customer is able to use and benefit from the license.

Contracts with Multiple Performance Obligations
For customer contracts that have more than one performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations in an amount that depicts the relative stand-alone selling prices of each performance obligation. Judgment is required in determining the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation. In determining the allocation of the transaction price, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs. When the stand-alone selling price of a good or service is not directly observable, an entity is required to estimate the stand-alone selling price. Customer contracts can include platform and content services as well as development services or hardware sales. The variable consideration is allocated entirely to the performance obligation for platform and content services as the variable consideration is allocable specifically to the delivery of the services in the period and the allocation is consistent with the allocation objective.
For gaming, the Company allocates a portion of the user’s wager to incentives that create material rights that are redeemed or expired in the future. The allocated revenue for gaming wagers is primarily recognized when the wagers occur because all such wagers settle immediately.
The Company applies a practical expedient by accounting for revenue from gaming on a portfolio basis because such wagers have similar characteristics, and the Company reasonably expects the effects on the financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio to not differ materially from that which would result if applying the guidance to an individual wagering contract.
Cash
The Company is required to maintain compensating cash balances to satisfy its liabilities to users. Such balances are included within cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are not subject to creditor claims. At June 30, 2021 the related liabilities to users was $7,389.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. As disclosed in Note 5, the Company has recorded goodwill in connection with the acquisition of Coolbet on January 1, 2021. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The Company has determined that there are two reporting units: B2C and B2B. In its goodwill impairment testing, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying amount prior to performing the quantitative impairment test. The qualitative assessment evaluates various events and circumstances, such as macro-economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, relevant events and financial trends that may impact a reporting unit’s fair value. If it is determined that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is more-likely-than not less than its carrying amount, including goodwill, the quantitative goodwill impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further analysis would be required.
If the quantitative impairment test for goodwill is deemed necessary, this quantitative impairment analysis compares the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit to its related carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, goodwill is written down to the fair value and an impairment loss is recognized. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, no further analysis is required. Fair value of the reporting unit is determined using valuation techniques, primarily using discounted cash flow analysis.
The Company will perform its annual impairment review of goodwill as of October 1st and when events or circumstances change between annual impairment tests that may indicate that it is more-likely-than-not the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying amount.
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets, except goodwill, consist of property and equipment, and finite lived acquired intangible assets, such as developed software, gaming licenses, trademarks, trade names and customer relationships. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company considers the period of expected cash flows and underlying data used to measure the fair value of the intangible assets when selecting the estimated useful lives.
The fair value of the acquired intangible assets is primarily determined using the income approach. In performing these valuations, the Company’s key underlying assumptions used in the discounted cash flows were projected revenue, gross margin expectations and operating cost estimates. There are inherent uncertainties and management judgment required in these valuations.
Acquired in-process technology consists of a proprietary technical platform. The Company reviews the in-process technology for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs creating the potential for impairment, until such time as the in-process technology efforts are completed. When completed, the developed technology will be amortized over its estimated useful life based on and using amortization methods that reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise realized. The technology is expected to be completed in the latter part of 2021.
Long-lived assets, except goodwill, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to their carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group are not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds fair value. Fair value is determined through various techniques, such as discounted cash flow models using probability weighted estimated future cash flows and the use of valuation specialists.

Capitalized Software Development Costs, net
The Company capitalizes certain development costs related to its software platforms during the application development stage. Costs associated with preliminary project activities, training, maintenance and all other post implementation stage activities are expensed as incurred. Software development costs are capitalized when application development begins, it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used as intended. The Company capitalizes certain costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable that expenditures will result in additional functionality of the platform to its customers. The capitalization policy provides for the capitalization of certain payroll and payroll related costs for employees who spent time directly associated with development and enhancements of the software platform.
Capitalized software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is generally three years, and are included within depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Liabilities to Users
The Company records liabilities for user account balances. User account balances consist of user deposits, promotional awards and user winnings less user withdrawals and user losses.
Share-based compensation expense is recognized for stock options and restricted stock issued to employees and non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors based on the fair value of these awards on the date of grant. The fair value of the stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair value of the restricted stock (restricted stock awards and restricted stock units) is based on the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The Company’s stock options and restricted stock issued have service conditions and are considered equity awards.
Share-based compensation is recorded over the requisite service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting and only service conditions, compensation cost is recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award. Forfeitures are recorded in the period in which they occur.
Reclassifications of Prior Period Amounts
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, due to the Coolbet acquisition of Vincent Group p.l.c. in 2021, the Company has reclassified certain balances that were previously presented in separate balance sheet captions to other current and noncurrent assets, other accrued expenses, and other current and noncurrent liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. These reclassifications had no impact on previously disclosed amounts for current assets, current liabilities, total assets and total liabilities.

NOTE 5 — ACQUISITION OF VINCENT GROUP P.L.C.
On January 1, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Vincent Group p.l.c. (“Coolbet”). The Company acquired Coolbet to take advantage of Coolbet’s user interface and proprietary technical platform, to quickly integrate and offer a proprietary sportsbook offering to land-based casino operators in the U.S. The Company intends to continue to operate in the U.S. solely as a B2B provider to casinos and other operators. The addition of a proprietary sports betting engine will give the Company the ability to offer a “one-stop” solution to U.S. retail casino operators, while at the same time preserving the flexibility to incorporate third-party solutions when specified. The Company expects that its technology platform and expansive library of proprietary and third-party gaming content should enable it to add additional casino gaming content and platform support for the Company’s B2C offering in Europe and Latin America. The following table summarizes the consideration transferred and the recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:
Fair value of the consideration transferred:
Cash paid to Vincent Group shareholders | $ | 111,118 | ||
Restricted ordinary shares issued to Vincent Group shareholders (1) | 106,683 | |||
Replacement equity-based awards to holders of Vincent Group equity-based awards (2) | 297 | |||
Total | $ | 218,098 |
(1) | The share consideration represents ordinary shares issued to the Vincent Group shareholders multiplied by the Company’s share price of $ on the acquisition date. These unregistered shares were issued subject to a contractual lock-up period that further restricts the ability of these shares to be transferred or sold. |
(2) | The replacement equity-based awards consist of options to purchase shares of the Company’s ordinary shares. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the fair value of replacement equity-based awards attributable to pre-combination service is recorded as part of the consideration transferred in the acquisition, while the fair value of the replacement equity-based awards attributable to post-combination service is recorded separately from the business combination and recognized as compensation cost in the post-acquisition period over the remaining service period. The fair value of the replacement awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing various assumptions. The vesting terms and conditions of the unvested options were replaced with terms identical to those of the original awards. |
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value:
Cash | $ | 18,714 | ||
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 1,512 | |||

The Company has not finalized the purchase price allocation, which is pending further analysis of the net assets acquired. The above cash consideration is subject to adjustment for the final working capital adjustment. Additionally, the Company is continuing to evaluate the tax impacts related to the acquisition. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation shown above could change materially. The Company recorded a net deferred income tax liability of $2,265 associated with the intangible assets recorded in the acquisition accounting.
The Company accounted for the acquisition of Coolbet using the acquisition method. The acquisition is treated as a stock purchase for accounting purposes. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the expected incremental revenue and profit to be derived from the Company’s introduction of Coolbet’s sports betting engine technology and intellectual technology to B2B customers in the U.S. and the assembled workforce of Coolbet. The Company intends to offer the Coolbet sports betting engine and associated capability to existing and new customers alongside its existing platform and Internet casino capability, as a complete turnkey solution or as an alternative sports betting engine to those currently relied upon by customers. Goodwill is not amortized, but is reviewed for impairment at least annually or if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not indicate the goodwill could be impaired. Goodwill recognized in the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill arising from the acquisition has been preliminary assigned as of the acquisition date to the Company’s B2C and B2B segments in the amounts of $92,138 and $67,547, respectively, since they are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. The B2C and B2B segments are also the reporting units.
The Company incurred $1,309 of acquisition-related costs in total, of which $290 were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The remaining costs were incurred in 2020. Following the acquisition, Coolbet entirely comprises the Company’s B2C segment. Refer to Note 14 for the revenue and segment results of Coolbet since the acquisition date.

Costs to Obtain a Contract
The Company defers contract costs that are recoverable and incremental to obtaining sales contracts with its customers. Contract costs, consisting primarily of sales commissions, are amortized on a systemic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the services to which the asset relates. Contract costs are periodically reviewed for impairment. An impairment exists if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the amount of the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for providing the services, less the remaining costs that relate directly to providing those services. Deferred contract costs are recorded in Other current assets and Other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table reflects the activity in deferred contract costs for the periods presented:

NOTE 14 — SEGMENT REPORTING
Effective as of January 1, 2021, the Company changed the structure of its internal organization with the acquisition of the Vincent Group p.l.c. (Note 5), which caused the composition of its reportable segments to change. As such, the Company implemented a segment reorganization in order to more closely align its segment reporting with its current operating structure. The Company’s new reportable segments are B2B and B2C. The B2B segment develops, markets and sells instances of iSight Back Office and GameSTACK technology that incorporates comprehensive player registration, account funding and back-office accounting and management tools that enable the casino operator customers to efficiently, confidently and effectively extend their presence online in places that have permitted online real money gambling. The B2C segment, which includes entirely the operations of the Vincent Group p.l.c., beginning on January 1, 2021, develops and operates a B2C online sports betting and casino platform accessible through its website in nine national markets across Northern Europe (Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden), Latin America (Chile, Ecuador and Peru) and North America (Canada). In conjunction with the new reporting structure, the Company recast the segment disclosures to combine its previous two reportable segments, RMiG and SIM, into one reportable segment, B2B, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Information reported to the Company’s chief executive officer, the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of the Company’s segmental performance is primarily focused on the origination of the revenue streams. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the segment’s revenue and gross profit. Segment gross profit represents the gross profit earned by each segment without allocation of each segment’s share of depreciation and amortization expense, sales and marketing expense, product and technology expense, general and administrative expense, interest costs and income taxes.
