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 4). 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 — 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 four ordinary shares to one ordinary share, for shares of GAN Limited, plus a pro rata portion of an aggregate of $2,525 (£2,004 or 2.32 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 3 — 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 $2,437 and $(7,044) 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

(Unaudited, in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
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 three 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 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.
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 promise to provide the 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. The transaction price is considered variable consideration. Amounts due from the Company's casino operator customers are generally due thirty days from the date of invoice.
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 initial deployment of iGaming solutions, as well as ongoing development services to provide updates to the software for enhanced functionality or customization. Development services fees for the initial deployments of the iGaming solutions are typically charged at a fixed fee. Ongoing platform development services are typically billed monthly, at a daily rate, for services performed. Revenue from platform development services 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.
GAN LIMITED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
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. When a customer contract includes platform and content services as well as development services, hardware sales or patent licenses, the variable consideration for platform and content services of the transaction price is allocated entirely to the performance obligation for platform and content services.
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 minimum 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.
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 4, 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.
GAN LIMITED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
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.

(Unaudited, in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Share-based Compensation
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 4 — 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:

(1) The share consideration represents 5,260,516 ordinary shares issued to the Vincent Group shareholders multiplied by the Company’s share price of $20.28 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 67,830 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.

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 13 for the revenue and segment results of Coolbet since the acquisition date.

NOTE 9 — SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
In April 2020, the Board of Directors established the GAN Limited 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan”) which has been approved by the shareholders. The 2020 Plan provides for grants of up to 4,400,000 shares then increases through 2029, by the lesser of 4% of the previous year’s total outstanding ordinary shares on December 31st or as determined by the Board of Directors, for ordinary shares, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock grants, stock units, and other equity awards for issuance to employees, consultant or non-employee directors. The share-based awards are issued at no less than fair market value of an ordinary share on the date of grant. At June 30, 2021, there were 475,240 shares remaining available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan.
Stock Options
Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value, as determined under the 2020 Plan, of the Company's ordinary shares on the date of grant. Stock option awards generally vest 25% after one year and then monthly over the next 36 months thereafter and have a maximum term of ten years.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of options to purchase 1,462,310 ordinary shares to employees, including executives and certain long-standing employees under the 2020 Plan.
In addition, in accordance with the acquisition agreement, the Company issued 67,830 replacement stock option awards to continuing employees of Coolbet. The fair value of the replacement stock options will be recognized ratably over the remaining service period, ranging from one to three years.
A summary of the stock option activity as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is as follows:

from acceleration of vesting of awards in connection with the Company's initial public offering. At June 30, 2021, there was $23,202 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options. The unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.4 years.
The grant date fair value of each stock option grant was determined using the following weighted average assumptions:

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted was $9.17 and $12.10 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $10.44 and $9.36 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted above. Estimating the grant date fair values for employee stock options requires management to make assumptions regarding expected volatility of the value of those underlying shares, the risk-free rate of the expected life of the stock options and the date on which share-based compensation will be settled.
Expected volatility is determined by reference to volatility of certain identified peer group share trading information and stock prices on the Nasdaq. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
For the period prior to the Company's initial public offering in May 2020, expected volatility was determined by reference to the historic volatility of GAN UK’s share price on the AIM, the London Stock Exchange. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option was based on the U.K. Gilt yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected term of the options is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.
In addition, in 2020, the Company recorded a liability for social taxes and income taxes related to certain unexercised legacy options at the time of Share Exchange. The Company is accounting for the required cash payment as a cash-settled share-based compensation transaction. The company recorded an expense of $(88) and $(181) related to these options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
Restricted Stock Units
On March 9, 2021, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 10,358 restricted stock units to non-employee directors. The restricted stock units vest over one year from the date of grant with 25% vesting per quarter. The value of restricted stock units is based on the market value of the Company’s ordinary shares at the date of grant. The restricted stock units were issued with a grant date fair value of $25.10 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, 5,178 restricted stock units vested and as of June 30, 2021 5,180 restricted stock units remain outstanding. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock units of $105 and $130 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. At June 30, 2021, there was $130 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock units. The remaining cost is expected to be recognized during the next six months. The total fair value of the restricted stock units that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $130.
Restricted Stock Awards
On June 15, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 93,680 restricted stock awards to the chief executive officer and non-employee directors. The restricted stock awards vest one year from the date of grant. The value of restricted stock is based on the market value of the Company’s ordinary shares at the date of grant. The restricted stock awards were issued with a grant date fair value of $18.19 per share. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards of $350 and $770 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards of $75 during the three and six months ended

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:

Contract and Contract-Related Liabilities
The Company has four types of liabilities related to contracts with customers: (i) cash consideration received in advance from customers related to development services not yet performed or hardware deliveries not yet completed, (ii) incentive program obligations, which represents the deferred allocation of revenue relating to incentives in the online gaming operations, (iii) user balances, which are funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs and (iv) unpaid winnings and wagers contributions to jackpot. These liabilities are expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of being purchased, earned or deposited. Such liabilities are recorded in Liabilities to users and Other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The contract and contract-related liabilities for the periods presented were as follows:

NOTE 13 — 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 4), 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
GAN LIMITED

(Unaudited, in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
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.
Summarized financial information by reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

The Company’s effective income tax rate was (57.1)% and (29.8)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company's effective income tax rate was (1.8)% and (3.6)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate to determine the quarterly income tax provision, which is adjusted each quarter based on information available at the end of that quarter.
The difference between the statutory tax rate of 0% in Bermuda, the Company's country of domicile, and the effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was due primarily to a mix of earnings in foreign jurisdictions that are subject to current tax.

NOTE 15 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the Share Exchange discussed in Note 2, the Company arranged funding of the cash consideration of the Share Exchange through a loan facility provided by the Parent's chief executive officer and his father. The loan facility provided for a minimum interest charge of £300, and any funds borrowed thereunder would have been unsecured and borne interest at 15% per annum. Such facility was available for a term of six months. Ultimately, the facility was not used, and the cash consideration of the Share Exchange was paid from the Company's operating cash. The minimum interest charge of $385 (or £300) was paid in May 2020 and recorded in interest expense, net, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
NOTE 16 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company may be subject to legal actions and claims arising from contracts or other matters from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation, which are considered other than routine legal proceedings. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition or resolution of its routine legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Content Licensing Agreements
In the second quarter of 2021, the Company entered into Licensing Agreements (the “Agreements”) with two third-party gambling content providers specializing in developing and licensing interactive games. The Agreements grant the Company exclusive rights to use and distribute online gaming content in North America. Each of the content providers is committed to developing a minimum number of games for the Company’s exclusive use over the five-year term, subject to extensions, of the respective Agreement. In exchange, the Company is required to pay fixed fees, which are paid systematically over the initial five-year terms, as well as variable consideration in the form of royalties if total revenue generated by the Company related to the licensed content exceed certain stipulated thresholds.
The Company has acquired individual software licenses in addition to the service arrangement the content providers will provide over the terms of the Agreements. As each license is delivered, the Company will recognize the relative stand-alone value of the license and amortize the asset over the term and accrue service expenses or other costs as incurred.
Fixed fees under the Agreements total $48.5 million. The Company has paid an initial licensing fee of $3.5 million during the quarter which has been recorded in Other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company paid an additional $5.0 million initial licensing fee to the other content provider. The Company expects to make fixed payments of $8.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $8.0 million in each of the years 2022 through 2025.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, related notes, and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (our "2020 Form 10-K"), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2021.
Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This section and other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and views of future events based on certain assumptions, and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical fact. For example, statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations, the expected timing of government approvals or opening of new regulated markets for online gaming, our financial guidance and expectations or targets for our operations, anticipated revenue growth or operating synergies related to our Coolbet acquisitions, and expectations about our ability to effectively execute our business strategy and expansion goals. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “should,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “is/are likely to” or other similar expressions.
Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results could differ significantly from the results discussed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences are described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2020 Form 10-K.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We do not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Overview
We are an award-winning business to business ("B2B") provider of enterprise software solutions designed to accelerate the casino industry’s digital transformation towards Internet casino gambling and online sports betting. In 2021, we won three prestigious industry awards from EGR North America – Best Freeplay Gaming Supplier, Best Full-Service Platform Provider and Best White Label Partner of the Year – in recognition of our expertise and commitment for delivering industry-leading gaming solutions to land-based casinos.
With a strategic focus on supporting land-based commercial and tribal casinos in the United States with their online sports betting and real money gambling operations, in January 2021 we simultaneously launched three operator customers live in the state of Michigan as it opened its market to real money iGaming ("RMiG"). We anticipate that additional states such as Louisiana, Maryland, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Washington will allow for the operation of RMiG during 2021, which would further increase our total addressable market in the United States, along with other states that may regulate RMiG in the future.
On January 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of all outstanding shares of Vincent Group p.l.c., a Malta public limited company doing business as “Coolbet.” Coolbet is a developer and operator of a legal online sports betting and casino platform. Coolbet operates a business to consumer ("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). We also intend to take advantage of Coolbet’s compelling user interface and proprietary technical platform, to offer a proprietary sportsbook offering to our land-based casino operators in the United States.
We believe that our current technology is highly scalable and can support the launch of our product offerings. We expect to improve our profitability through increased revenues from organic growth of our existing casino operators, expansion into newly regulated jurisdictions with existing and new customers, margin expansion driven by the integration of Coolbet's sports
betting technology in our B2B product offerings, roll-out of Super RGS content offering to B2C operators who are not already clients, and organic growth of our B2C business in existing and new jurisdictions.
We hold a strategic 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. In February 2021, we reached an agreement to license our U.S. patent to a second major U.S. casino operator group and we may license our patent to other major U.S. Internet gambling operators in the future.
We operate in two operating segments: B2B and B2C.
Our 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 RMiG. Where certain jurisdictions have not yet permitted any form of RMiG, these B2B technologies provide simulated gambling ("SIM") solutions for our casino operator customers as a way to bring their retail brand online and create a new Internet gaming experience to their players while leveraging their on-property rewards program.
Our B2C operating segment includes the B2C operations of Coolbet, which we acquired on January 1, 2021 and its direct to consumer sports betting and online casino platform.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under current circumstances. These assumptions form the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from independent, objective sources. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Use of alternative assumptions may have resulted in significantly different estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, there were no material changes to our accounting policies that we believe are critical to an understanding of financial condition and results of operations, which critical accounting policies are disclosed in our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2020 Form 10-K, other than those critical accounting policies and estimates described below.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. This standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction and establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.
Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amounts of future cash inflows and outflows, discount rates, market prices and asset lives, among other items. These estimates are based on information obtained from management of the acquired company and historical experience and are generally made with the assistance of an independent valuation firm. These estimates can include, but are not limited to, the cash flows that an asset is expected to generate in the future, and the cost savings expected to be derived from acquiring an asset. Any changes in the underlying assumptions can impact the estimates of fair value by material amounts, which can in turn materially impact our results of operations. These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, and, if different estimates were used, the purchase price for the acquisition could be allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities differently from the allocation that we have made. In addition, unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which affect the accuracy or validity of such estimates, and, if such events occur, we may be required to record a charge against the value ascribed to an acquired asset or an increase in the amounts recorded for assumed liabilities.
If the subsequent actual results and updated projections of the underlying business activity change compared with the assumptions and projections used to develop these fair values, we may have to record impairment charges in the future. In addition, we have estimated the useful lives of certain acquired assets, and these lives are used to compute depreciation and amortization expense. If our estimates of the useful lives change, depreciation and amortization expense may be required to be accelerated or decelerated.
Goodwill
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of goodwill impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; unanticipated competition; and the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit. Our goodwill impairment analysis also includes a comparison of the aggregate estimated fair value of all reporting units to our total market capitalization. Therefore, our shares may trade below our book value and a significant and sustained decline in our share price and market capitalization could result in goodwill impairment charges. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of these assets and could have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill impairment testing involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its respective carrying amount, which may be performed utilizing either a qualitative or quantitative assessment. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. 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 the carrying amount, including goodwill, a quantitative assessment is required. Otherwise, no further analysis is necessary.
In a quantitative assessment, the fair value of a reporting unit is determined and then compared to its carrying value. A reporting unit’s fair value is determined based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including the income approach, which utilizes projected future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved, and multiples of current and future earnings. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a goodwill impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized cannot exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
The income approach used to test our reporting units includes the projection of estimated operating results and cash flows, discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”) that reflects current market conditions appropriate to each reporting unit. Those projections involve management’s best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period, including growth rates in revenues and costs and best estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant assumptions and estimates used in the income approach include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. In addition, the WACC utilized to discount estimated future cash flows is sensitive to changes in interest rates and other market rates in place at the time the assessment is performed. Future changes in our estimates or assumptions or in interest rates could have a significant impact on the estimated fair value of reporting units and result in a goodwill impairment charge that could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as capitalized software for internal use, property and equipment, and definite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. In assessing long-lived assets for impairment, assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, we compare the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its 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.
Consolidated Results of Operations
On January 1, 2021, we completed our acquisition of Coolbet which was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combination. The following discussion of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 includes the financial results of Coolbet for the entire period, and accordingly, are not directly comparable to our condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. For that reason, we have included a discussion of our quarterly results for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the immediately preceding three months ended March 31, 2021, as well as for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Our B2B segment results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are comprised of our legacy business operations prior to the acquisition of Coolbet.

Revenues
The $6.8 million increase in revenues was driven by $9.7 million organic growth in our B2C segment, offset by a $2.9 million decrease in our B2B segment over the prior quarter. The revenues in our B2B segment for the first quarter benefited from $3.0 million related to patent licensing which did not recur in the second quarter.
On a geographic basis, revenues in Europe and Latin America increased significantly during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, driven by the success of our B2C business in our existing markets within those geographies. The decrease in revenues in the United States compared to the prior period related to the $3.0 million patent licensing revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Cost of Revenues
The $1.6 million increase in cost of revenues was primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in the cost of B2C revenues attributable to higher content licensing and processing fees as a result of our overall increase in gaming revenues; partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in the cost of B2B revenues attributable to lower content licensing and processing fees for that segment.
Operating Expenses
The $1.4 million increase in sales and marketing expenses was driven by a $0.8 million increase in B2C marketing and advertising costs as we continue to expand our footprint within new and existing international markets. The remaining increase was driven by increases in personnel expenses, primarily due to increased headcount within our sales and marketing functions in line with business expansion.
The $0.8 million decrease in product and technology expenses was due to a higher rate of capitalization during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 with respect to our product and technology costs and developer salaries. This higher rate of capitalization resulted in lower product and technology expenses despite increases to our headcount and related salaries. The costs capitalized relate to the development activities undertaken during the quarter associated with the design, development and enhancements of our software.
The $2.3 million increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to personnel-related costs which increased by $1.9 million during the period due to increased headcount across the business in line with business expansion and revised business forecasts which impacted our bonus expenses. Of this increase, general and administrative share-based compensation expenses represented $0.4 million, primarily due to stock options granted to key management personnel during February 2021 which had a full period's expense during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021
Income Tax Expense
We recorded income tax expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, reflecting an effective tax rate of (57.1)%, compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, reflecting an effective tax rate of (17.4)%.

Revenues
The $26.3 million increase in revenues was primarily related to the addition of Coolbet's sports betting and gaming revenues of $24.0 million in our B2C segment following the completion of our acquisition of Coolbet on January 1, 2021, coupled with the organic growth within our B2B segment during the quarter of $2.3 million.
On a geographic basis, revenues in the United States increased due to strong growth in our B2B segment, driven primarily by the expanded legalization of RMiG and sports betting in additional U.S. states and our launch of RMiG solutions for new and existing customers in those jurisdictions, the most significant of which was Michigan in January 2021. Increases in our markets in Europe, Latin America, and the rest of the world were due to the inclusion of Coolbet's B2C revenues in Northern Europe, coupled with increases in our B2B revenues from Italy. Following the closing of our acquisition of Coolbet in January 2021, our revenue footprint expanded into Latin America with additional revenues in North America (Canada).
Cost of Revenues
The $8.2 million increase in costs of revenues was primarily attributable to the inclusion of B2C segment cost of revenues of $8.0 million following the acquisition of Coolbet in January 2021.
Operating Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased $3.8 million, of which $3.5 million was directly attributable to the inclusion of the B2C segment within our results. The remaining increase was driven by higher personnel expenses due to increased headcount within our sales and marketing functions. Our B2C segment's sales and marketing expenses were included in our results for the first time following the acquisition of Coolbet.
Product and technology expenses decreased $1.1 million, primarily due to lower share-based compensation expenses of $3.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, partially offset by higher personnel and related costs of $1.6 million (excluding share-based compensation) primarily associated with increased headcount and business expansion. Product and technology share-based compensation expense during the three months ended June 30, 2020 included $2.0 million related to the acceleration of vesting of outstanding grants at the time of our initial public offering.
General and administrative expenses increased $4.5 million, of which $3.5 million was due to the addition of our B2C segment in our results following our acquisition of Coolbet. The remaining increase was primarily attributable to increased professional service fees associated with recruiting and accounting services as we continue to invest in employees to meet the needs of our growing business and requirements as a publicly listed company in the United States following our initial public offering in May 2020. These increases were offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense of $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. General and administrative share-based compensation expense during the three months ended June 30, 2020 included $1.5 million related to the acceleration of vesting of outstanding grants at the time of our initial public offering.
Within our operating expenses, share-based compensation and related expenses across sales sales and marketing, product and technology, and general and administrative decreased $5.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Share-based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2020 included $7.4 million recognized in relation to (i) the acceleration of vesting of outstanding grants at the time of our initial public filing in May 2020 ($3.9 million) and (ii) the recognition of cash-settled share-based compensation expense in relation to taxes associated with U.K. options during the same period ($3.5 million).
The $3.4 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense includes $3.0 million in amortization expense from intangible assets recognized in the acquisition of Coolbet. The acquisition resulted in, among other things, goodwill and a considerable increase in amortizable intangible assets. The amortization of acquired intangibles has materially increased our total operating costs and expenses (and adversely affected our consolidated net loss) for periods after the acquisition and is expected to continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Revenues
Revenues increased $46.5 million as a result of organic growth and patent licensing in our B2B segment driving $8.2 million of the increase, coupled with the addition of Coolbet's gaming revenues of $38.3 million in our B2C segment following the completion of our acquisition of Coolbet on January 1, 2021.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, revenues increased across each of our geographies when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Revenues from the United States increased $6.8 million, driven primarily by patent licensing revenue and expanded legalization of RMiG and sports betting in additional U.S. states and our launch of iGaming solutions for new and existing customers in those jurisdictions, the most recent of which was Michigan in January 2021. Revenues from customers in Europe increased $22.6 million compared to the prior year period, due primarily to the inclusion of B2C revenues in Northern Europe, coupled with increases in our B2B revenues from Italy. Following the closing of our acquisition of Coolbet in January 2021, our revenue footprint expanded into Latin America with additional revenues in North America (Canada).
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues increased $15.3 million compared to the prior period, of which the B2B and B2C segments contributed $1.2 million and $14.0 million, respectively. Increases to cost of B2B revenues were due to increased content license fees driven by the increase in related revenues while our B2C segment's costs were included in our results for the first time following the acquisition of Coolbet.
Operating Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses increased by $7.1 million, of which the inclusion of the B2C segment within our results directly contributed an increase of $6.0 million. The remaining increase in sales and marketing expenses were driven by increases in personnel expenses due to increased headcount within our sales and marketing functions following planned use of proceeds from our initial public offering to support customer acquisitions and new jurisdictions served. Our B2C segment's sales and marketing expenses were included in our results for the first time following the acquisition of Coolbet.
Product and technology expenses increased by $2.7 million primarily related to hiring developers in order to meet increased demand for our technology by new and existing customers in new jurisdictions. Of this increase, the inclusion of the B2C segment within our results for the first time following the acquisition of Coolbet directly contributed an increase of $0.6 million.
General and administrative expenses increased by $12.2 million, of which the inclusion of the B2C segment within our results directly contributed $6.4 million towards this increase. The remaining increase is primarily attributable to (i) personnel and related costs increasing to meet customer demand, and (ii) increased professional services related to corporate infrastructure and Coolbet integration projects, and (iii) additional compliance requirements as a result of becoming a public company in the United States in May 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $2.8 million in expenses related to our initial public offering and did not have any related expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our B2C segment's general and administrative expenses were included in our results for the first time following the acquisition of Coolbet.
Within our operating expenses, share-based compensation and related expenses across sales sales and marketing, product and technology, and general and administrative decreased $4.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to expenses of $7.4 million recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020 in relation to (i) the acceleration of vesting of outstanding grants at the time of our initial public filing in May 2020 ($3.9 million) and (ii) the recognition of cash-settled share-based compensation expense in relation to taxes associated with U.K. options during the same period ($3.5 million).
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $6.5 million, including $6.0 million in amortization expense from intangible assets recognized in the acquisition of Coolbet.
Income Tax Expense
We recorded income tax expense of $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, reflecting an effective tax rate (29.8)%, compared to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, reflecting an effective tax rate of (3.6)%.
Segment Operating Results
We report our operating results by segment in accordance with the “management approach.” The management approach designates the internal reporting used by our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer, for making decisions and assessing performance of our reportable segments.

B2C revenues increased $9.7 million primarily due to significant expansion within certain Latin America markets, as well as increases in customers and sportsbook activity resulting from the Copa America and UEFA European soccer tournaments which were held primarily during the second quarter of 2021.
B2C cost of revenues increased $2.1 million due to higher content licensing and processing fees of $2.1 million as a result of our increased gaming revenues.
Segment gross profit for B2C, which excludes depreciation and amortization and is entirely comprised of Coolbet's operations, increased by $7.6 million due to increased margins within our sports revenue streams during the period, coupled with higher casino activity during the period.

B2B revenues increased $2.3 million as a result of B2B platform and content fee revenues, which increased $2.9 million, or 45.2%, over the prior period. New United States RMiG jurisdictions and casino operator customers contributed $2.0 million of that increase, the majority of which was derived in Michigan following the launch of RMiG in January 2021. Development services and other revenues decreased by $0.6 million, primarily due to development revenues recognized during the during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of FanDuel's migration to their own player wallets in 2020, partially offset by increased development services revenues associated with new casino launches during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
B2B segment cost of revenues increased $0.2 million primarily as a result of our content licensing and processing fees increasing $0.6 million in line with related platform and content licensing revenues, offset primarily by gaming duties and related expenses of $0.3 million that we incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020 associated with the online casino product offering we previously operated in the U.K. until September 2020.
Segment gross profit margin for B2B, which excludes depreciation and amortization, increased by $2.1 million primarily as a result of higher revenues driven primarily by the expanded legalization of RMiG and sports betting in additional U.S. states and our launch of RMiG solutions for new and existing customers in those jurisdictions.

|
B2B revenues increased $8.2 million compared to the prior year period. B2B platform and content fee revenues contributed $6.2 million towards this increase, increasing 49.8% from $12.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 to $18.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Of this increase, new RMiG jurisdictions in the United States and casino operator customers contributed $3.4 million, the majority of which was derived in Michigan following the launch of RMiG in January 2021. Similarly, simulated gaming revenues within the B2B segment increased $2.0 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, with new customers contributing $2.4 million to the increase.
Additionally, B2B development services and other revenues increased $2.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, of which $3.0 million was attributable to patent licensing fee revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Development services revenues decreased $1.0 million, primarily due to decreases associated with FanDuel's migration to their own player wallets in 2020, partially offset by increased development services revenues associated with new casino launches during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
B2B segment cost of revenues increased $1.2 million as a result of our content licensing and processing fees increasing in line with related revenues, partially offset by gaming duties and related expenses of $0.5 million which were incurred during
the six months ended June 30, 2020 associated with the online casino product offering we previously operated in the U.K. until September 2020.
Segment gross profit margin for B2B, which excludes depreciation and amortization, increased by $6.9 million primarily as a result of higher revenues attributable to organic growth in the business and patent licensing.

(1) Excludes depreciation and amortization
|
Segment gross profit for B2C, which excludes depreciation and amortization and is entirely comprised of Coolbet's operations, was $24.3 million, or 63.4% as a percentage of segment revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Prior year revenue and costs of revenue are not included in our financial results due to the timing of the acquisition, which closed January 1, 2021.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
Our management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP metrics to measure our financial results. Our management uses the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA to measure financial performance. Specifically, it uses Adjusted EBITDA (1) as a measure to compare our operating performance from period to period, as it removes the effect of items not directly resulting from core operations, and (2) as a means of assessing our core business performance against others in the industry, because it eliminates some of the effects that are generated by differences in capital structure, depreciation, tax effects and unusual and infrequent events.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairments, share-based compensation expense and related expense, initial public offering related costs and other items which our Board of Directors considers to be infrequent or unusual in nature. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be used in isolation or as a substitute for any measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA may exclude financial information that some investors may consider important in evaluating our performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measure, the way we define Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in the industry.
Below is a reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA from net loss as presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Key Performance Indicators
Our management uses the following key performance indicators (“KPIs”) as indicators of trends and results of the business. These KPIs give our management an indication of the level of engagement between the player and our platforms. No estimation is necessary in quantifying these KPIs, nor do they represent U.S. GAAP based measurements. These KPIs are subject to various risks such as customer concentration, competition, licensing and regulation, and macroeconomic conditions. Refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2020 Form 10-K for further risks associated with our business which would affect these KPIs.

B2B Gross Operator Revenue
We define B2B Gross Operator Revenue as the sum of our B2B corporate customers’ gross revenue from SIM, gross gaming revenue from RMiG, and gross sports win from real money regulated sports betting. B2B Gross Operator Revenue, which is not comparable to financial information presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP, gives management and users an indication of the extent of transactions processed through our B2B corporate customers’ platforms and allows management to understand the extent of activity that it is processing.
The increase in gross operator revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, was driven primarily by expanded legalization of RMiG and sports betting in additional U.S. states and our launch of enterprise solutions for new and existing customers in those jurisdictions, the most significant of which was Michigan in January 2021. Additional increases in Europe RMiG and SIM were driven by new and existing customers, as well as organic growth since the COVID-19 outbreak began disrupting retail casino operations and the sports betting calendar.
B2B Active Player-Days
We define B2B Active Player-Days as unique individuals who log on and wager each day (either wagering with real money or playing with virtual credits used in SIM), aggregated during the respective period. By way of an illustrative example: one (1) unique individual logging in and wagering each day in a single calendar year would, in aggregate, represent 365 B2B Active Player-Days. B2B Active Player-Days provides an indicator of consistent and daily interaction that individuals have with our platforms. B2B Active Player-Days allows management and users to understand not only total users who interact with the platform but gives an idea of the frequency to which users are interacting with the platform, as someone who logs on and wagers multiple days are weighted heavier during the period than the user who only logs on and wagers one day.
The increase in B2B Active Player-Days for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, was primarily attributable to the continued expansion of our existing customers into new states upon legislation (for example Michigan in January 2021), as well as new customers launched.
B2B Average Revenue per Daily Active User
We define B2B Average Revenue per Daily Active User (“ARPDAU”) as B2B Gross Operator Revenue divided by the identified number of B2B Active Player-Days. This metric allows management to measure the value per daily user and track user interaction with the platforms, which helps both management and users of financial statements understand the value per user that is driven by marketing efforts and data analysis obtained from our platforms.
The increase in B2B ARPDAU in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, was primarily the result of a larger proportion of revenue coming from higher-yield product offerings such as U.S. RMiG, as compared to lower-yield revenue streams such as our SIM product offerings.
B2C Active Customers
We define B2C Active Customers as a user that places a wager during the period. This metric allows management to monitor the customer segmentation, growth drivers, and ultimately creates opportunities to identify and add value to the user experience. This metric allows management and users of the financial statements to measure the platform traffic and track related trends.
B2C Marketing Spend Ratio
We define B2C Marketing Spend Ratio as the total B2C direct marketing expense for the period divided by the total B2C revenues. This metric allows management to measure the success of marketing costs during a given period and compare across jurisdictions. Management and the users of the financial statements can use this metric as a comparison to peers and track the success of marketing costs over time versus revenue level, plus use as an indication of return on marketing investment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have primarily funded our operations through cash on hand, cash generated from operations and through the sale of our ordinary shares in our initial public offering and follow-on offering. Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are to finance working capital, capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. Our capital expenditures consist primarily of technology development costs, computer equipment, and costs to enter contracts.
We expect our capital expenditures and working capital requirements to continue to increase in the immediate future, as we seek to expand our business. Specifically, the key elements of our growth strategy include, but are not limited to, the expansion of our gaming content development capabilities, the anticipated launch of the B2B sportsbook technology solution in the U.S., the continued integration of Coolbet's sports betting technology and international B2C operations, and the launch of regulated gaming in new U.S. states. The execution of our growth strategy will require significant capital expenditures. We expect to continue investing in our products and technologies as we seek to scale our business, optimize our margin profile and enhance profitability.
To the extent that our current resources, including our ability to generate operating cash flows, are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek additional equity or debt financing. Our ability to do so depends on prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. If the needed financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than we expect, we may be forced to decrease our level of investment in new products and technologies, discontinue further expansion of our business, or scale back our existing operations, any of which could have an adverse impact on our business and financial prospects.
As of June 30, 2021, our primary sources of liquidity were our cash of $52.1 million and accounts receivable, net of allowance of $12.0 million. Our material short-term cash requirements include capital expenditures and the purchase of goods and services to conduct our operations, including, but not limited to, recurring payroll and benefits obligations for our employees and liabilities to our customers. We are also party to certain gaming content contracts where we have committed to make minimum payments under the terms of those contracts, including $48.5 million of fees payable under the Agreements described in Note 16. Of this total, we have paid $3.5 million as of June 30, 2021 and $5.0 million was paid subsequent to the balance sheet date, on July 1, 2021. We expect to make fixed payments of $8.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $8.0
million in each of the years 2022 through 2025. We believe cash on hand and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing activities for at least the next 12 months and thereafter.

Operating Activities
Net cash from operating activities increased by $2.6 million primarily resulting from a decrease in net loss (after adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash flows from operations), partially offset by an unfavorable change in operating assets and liabilities.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $101.3 million primarily as a result of $92.4 million cash paid for the acquisition of Coolbet, net of cash acquired, a $4.7 million increase in spend for capitalized software development costs associated with new customer launches and a $3.5 million initial payment to a content supplier as partial consideration for the exclusive rights to distribute their online gaming content.
Financing Activities
Net cash from financing activities decreased by $55.7 million primarily due to $57.4 million in proceeds from our U.S. initial public offering in May 2020 that did not recur during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Capital Resources
We do not currently have any credit facilities or similar debt arrangements in place. To the extent that we are unable to sustain positive cash flow from operations, we expect to raise additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities. There are no arrangements in place for any such financing at this time. We cannot provide any assurance as to the availability or terms of any future financing that we may require to support our operations.
