REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of:

King Digital Entertainment plc

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of King Digital Entertainment plc and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

KING DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT PLC

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013

1. General information

King Digital Entertainment plc (KDE) and its subsidiaries (together, the Group or the Company) produce and distribute digital games on multiple platforms. The Company is incorporated under the laws of Ireland under the Irish Companies Act (2014). Its registered office is 6th Floor, 2 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

These consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands ($000), except per share amounts or when otherwise indicated.

These financial statements were authorized by the Board of Directors (the Board) on February 3, 2016.

2. Corporate reorganization and initial public offering

On March 25, 2014, the Company engaged in a corporate reorganization, where the entire share capital of MIHC was acquired by KDE, a newly formed company. KDE became the ultimate parent company of the Group, by way of a share-for-share exchange at a ratio of 5-for-2 in which the existing shareholders of MIHC exchanged their shares in MIHC for shares having substantially the same rights in the Company.

On March 26, 2014, the Company completed an initial public offering (IPO) of its ordinary shares, which resulted in the sale of 15,533,334 ordinary shares by the Company and 6,666,666 ordinary shares held by certain of its shareholders at a price of $22.50 per ordinary share. The Company received net proceeds from the IPO of $329,403,764, based upon the price of $22.50 per ordinary share and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions paid by the Company. Expenses of $3,025,765 directly attributable to this issue of new shares have been offset against shareholder’s equity. The Company received no proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares by the shareholders. Upon completion of the IPO, all of the Company’s outstanding share classes converted into ordinary shares, with the exception of Euro deferred shares.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), collectively ‘IFRSs’. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and using fair value for contingent consideration.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs as issued by the IASB requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the group

In 2015, no new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards were applicable for the Group’s accounting period beginning on January 1, 2015.

New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are not yet effective, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. The Group has considered the impact of the new standards, amendments and interpretations and have concluded that they are either not relevant to the Group or that they would not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial statements, apart from additional disclosures, except for the following:

·          IFRS 9, ‘Financial Instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of IFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the parts of IAS 39 that relate to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized costs, fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income. The basis of classification depends on the Group’s business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. For financial liabilities there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss and fair value through other comprehensive income. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on January 1, 2018. The Group is continuing to assess IFRS 9’s full impact.

·          IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard is effective for the first interim period beginning on January 1, 2018. The Group is continuing to assess IFRS 15’s full impact.

·          IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract, i.e. the customer (‘lessee’) and the supplier (‘lessor’). IFRS 16 is effective from 1 January 2019. A company can choose to apply IFRS 16 before that date but only if it also applies IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Group is continuing to asses IFRS 16’s full impact.

There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.

Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Intercompany transactions, balances between Group companies are eliminated.

(a) Business combinations

The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for an acquisition is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in the statement of operations within ‘Other gains (losses)’.

The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

Accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

8

Segments

The Group has one reporting segment with one business activity, developing and monetizing digital games on multiple platforms. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the board of directors, which manages operations on a consolidated basis. When assessing performance and allocating resources the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis.

Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The Group monitors for significant and stable changes in an entity’s economic environment which may indicate a need to reassess the functional currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions that are settled in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

Monetary items denominated in foreign currency are translated using the closing rate as at the reporting date. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of initial recognition; non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented net in the consolidated statement of operations within ‘Other gains (losses)’.

(c) Group companies

The operations and financial position of all the Group’s subsidiaries that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the Group’s presentation currency as follows:

·          Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date;

·          Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions; and

·          All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income — translation reserve.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities, are recognized in ‘Other comprehensive income — Exchange difference on translation of foreign subsidiaries’. When a foreign operation is disposed of, or partially disposed of, such exchange differences are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at historical cost and are subsequently stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

The Company recognizes in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are expensed as incurred.

9

Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method to allocate the cost less residual value over their estimated useful life of the asset. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

Intangible assets

(a) Domain names

Separately acquired domain names are shown at cost less accumulated amortization. Domain names acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Domain names are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 20 years.

(b) Computer software

Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs shown at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful lives of computer software are as follows:

(c) Internally generated software

Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of the Group’s identifiable and unique games are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:

Directly attributable costs that are capitalized as part of the software product include the software development employee costs.

Internally generated software development costs are shown at cost less accumulated depreciation and are recognized as assets and currently amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three years. In prior years the estimated useful lives for social and mobile games was 18 months.  Software abandoned in subsequent periods are derecognized and recognized as an expense in the statement of operations during the period.

10

Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognized as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period.

(d) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired at the date of acquisition.

(e) Patents

Patents have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of patents over their estimated useful lives, subject to any additional impairment that might arise.

The estimated useful lives of patents are as follows:

Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than deferred tax assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment.

Impairment losses are recognized in the statement of operations in the period in which they arise.

An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount or its cash-generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed. In respect to other assets, an impairment loss is reversed when there is indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows of the business are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to a group of CGUs that is expected to benefit from the synergies to the combination. Each group of CGUs to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, which for the Group is at the reporting segment level.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

(a) Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables comprise amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets.

Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

11

The Group considers that trade receivables are not impaired unless there are specific indicators of impairment. The Group manages credit limits and exposures actively such that there are no material past due amounts receivable from third parties as at the reporting date.

Based on the short term nature of trade and other receivables, the carrying amount approximates the fair value.

(b) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and balances held on behalf of customers (money players).

(c) Deposits

Deposits comprise of funds paid to secure leasehold rental properties of the Group. These funds are held with financial institutions and recognized initially at fair value plus transactions costs.

(d) Trade and other payables

Trade payables comprise obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. They further include a liability relating to player balances for deposited funds that are yet to be spent on games within the Group’s online skill games. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade and other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Based on the short term nature of trade and other payables the carrying amount approximates the fair value.

Share capital

Ordinary and deferred shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably measured.

(a) Restoration

Provisions for restorations are for the rehabilitation of leasehold improvements at the end of the lease term and are recognized on a lease by lease basis, based on the Group’s best estimate of the likely cash outflow.

(b) Sales taxes

Provisions for sales taxes relate to probable payments due to tax authorities in countries where the Group operates and are based on the Group’s best estimate of the likely cash outflow, including associated penalties.

Current and deferred tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the statement of operations except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the year-end date in the countries where the company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. The Group evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

12

Deferred tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

Employee benefits

(a) Pension obligations

The Group operates a defined contribution pension plan. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separately administered fund. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are earned. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

Share-based payments

Equity-settled share-based awards

The Company has granted equity-settled share-based awards in the form of ordinary shares, options to purchase ordinary shares, restricted ordinary shares and restricted stock units. The Company receives services from employees as consideration for the awards. The fair value of the cost of these services is recognized as an expense over the period in which the services are rendered.

The fair value of equity-settled share-based awards is initially measured at grant date using an option-pricing or valuation model and is not subsequently remeasured.

The fair value of the equity-based awards is determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model. This model requires the use of the following assumptions: (i) fair value of our ordinary shares, (ii) exercise price, (iii) expected volatility of ordinary shares, (iv) expected term of the award, which is determined based on the expected period to settlement date, (v) expected dividend yield, which is based on historical trading information and expectation of regular dividend payments, and (vi) the risk-free interest rate, which is based on the implied yield of U.S. Treasury bonds with a term equal to the expected term.

Historically, the fair value of certain equity-based awards was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model.

At the end of each reporting period, the group revises its estimates of the number of awards that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions and service conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the statement of operations, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Cash-settled share-based awards

The Company historically granted cash-settled share-based Discretionary Bonus Units (DBUs) to some employees. The Company recognized the cost of the services and the related liability as the employees render the service. The liability was measured at fair value using an option pricing model by reference to the terms and conditions on which the DBUs are granted and the extent to which the employees have rendered service up to the valuation date.

13

For more information about our share-based payments, refer to Note 20.

Revenue recognition

Our revenue is primarily derived from the sale of virtual items available for in-game purchase on third party social and mobile platforms, as well as from the provision of online skill games accessed on the Company’s website.

The Group recognizes revenue once we have transferred the risks and rewards of ownership, the amounts can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity. Revenue is recorded at the fair value of consideration received or receivable net of sale tax, prizes, discounts and other promotions and after eliminating intra-group sales.

(a) Virtual currency and virtual items

The Company offers free to play games on social and mobile platforms. Customers purchase virtual currency and virtual items directly from the platform service providers who remit the payments to us net of a platform service charge.

Proceeds received from players predominantly relate to the sale of virtual currency. The price of virtual currency can vary based on volume discounts, other discounts and, at times, promotional free grants of virtual currency. Virtual currency can be redeemed for virtual items and cannot be withdrawn or transferred between games.

Amounts collected from the sale of virtual currency are deferred and recognized as the player uses the virtual items purchased with the virtual currency. Deferred revenue from the sale of virtual currency is measured by multiplying units of unredeemed virtual currency by the average unit price of virtual currency purchased in the period. The Group reassesses the average per unit price periodically. The Group does not defer revenue for unredeemed virtual currency associated with players who have never purchased virtual currency or virtual items.

Virtual items are classified into two categories, consumable or durable, depending on whether the virtual items’ value is consumed immediately or if the item has an ongoing value in game play.

Consumable virtual items provide a benefit to the player that is consumed through specific player actions, after which the consumable virtual items are no longer available for re-use in future game play. Consumable items can be purchased in a single item format or a multiple item pack. Revenue is deferred and recognized at the time that each item is consumed. Consumable items are valued based on the average unit price of virtual items purchased in the period. The Group reassesses the average per unit prices of virtual items periodically. Similar to the treatment of virtual currency, the Group does not defer revenue for unredeemed virtual items associated with players who have never purchased virtual currency or virtual items.

Durable virtual items are used by players from the time of purchase onward. They provide game enhancement throughout game play and do not expire. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of durable virtual items ratably over the average life of durable virtual items that we estimate using average playing period of paying players on a game by game basis. The Company reassesses the estimated average playing periods of paying players on a periodic basis.

We are responsible for the operation and maintenance of our games on these platforms as well as setting the prices of our virtual currency and virtual items. On this basis, we have determined that we are the principal in the majority of our arrangements and recognize revenue from the sale of virtual items on a gross, as opposed to net, basis.

(b) Online skill games

The Group generates revenue from skill games on the royalgames.com website by retaining a commission from the amount that players pay to play. Players deposit funds into individual player accounts maintained by the Company and draw down on the balance of their player accounts to enter skill game tournaments. The revenue recognized is the commission charged on skill tournament entry fees where the players have concluded their participation in the skill tournament with a deduction of incentives or bonus money.

Other income

Other income consists of other operating income not directly related to the sale of virtual items and includes income from the funded design and development of our games for specific third party platforms. The Group recognizes other income once we have

14

transferred the risks and rewards of ownership or the service has been rendered, the amounts can be reliably measured and it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.

Cost of revenue

Amounts recorded as cost of revenue relate to direct expenses incurred in order to generate revenue from games. Cost of revenue primarily includes amounts charged by platform distribution partners, payments for third party licensed intellectual property usage related to audio content, fees paid to payment processing providers, salaries, benefits and share-based payments for customer support and infrastructure teams, as well as their related travel and entertainment and occupancy and facility costs.

Operating leases

Leases of assets in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. The Group leases certain property, plant and equipment. Payments made under operating leases net of any incentives received from the lessor, are charged to the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Group’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group’s financial statements in the reporting period in which an obligation to pay a dividend is established.

4. Financial risk management

Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities potentially expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance.

A committee of the board of directors provides oversight of the overall risk management of the Group, including policies governing investment of excess liquidity. The Group did not make use of derivative financial instruments during the current and preceding financial periods.

(a) Market risk

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity that holds the financial instrument. The exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimized by matching cash balances and trade receivables with trade payables of the same currency. In addition, intercompany payment terms are managed to reduce risk. The table below shows the Group’s sensitivity to foreign exchange rates on its pound sterling (GBP), euro (EUR) and Swedish krona (SEK) financial instruments. These three currencies are the significant non-functional currencies in which the Group’s financial instruments are denominated. The Group has considered movements in these currencies over the last three years and has concluded that a 10% movement in rates is a reasonable benchmark. Foreign exchange sensitivity on Group assets and liabilities other than financial instruments is not included and translation related risk is not taken into account.

At December 31, 2015, if the currencies had strengthened by 10% against the U.S. dollar with all other variables held constant, the impact on profits for the year would have been as follows:

15

If the currencies depreciated by 10% against the U.S. dollar, the impact on profits for the year would result in an equal and opposite effect.

(ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments are primarily comprised of money market investments. Interest rates on money market investments are minimal. Consequently, management considers the potential impact on profit or loss of a defined interest rate shift that is reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period to be immaterial.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from deposits held with banks, fixed income investments and trade and other receivables. The Group’s banks and investments are rated highly by rating agencies. Management considers credit risk in respect of receivables to be insignificant and does not expect any material losses from non-performance of trade and other receivables. Further disclosure in this regard is provided in Note 12 and Note 13 to the financial statements.

(c) Liquidity risk

The Group is exposed to liquidity risk in relation to meeting future obligations associated within its financial liabilities and commitments. Financial liabilities comprise amounts owed to customers, and trade and other payables. Liquidity risk is monitored at a Group level by ensuring that sufficient funds are available to each subsidiary in the appropriate currency within the Group. In addition to its cash and cash equivalents balance, the Group has a $150 million asset-based loan (“ABL”) revolving credit facility, which expires in 2018, from which no amount has been drawn.

Capital risk management

The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets.

Total capital is shareholders’ equity as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position and is maintained in the context of the Group. In view of the nature of the Group’s activities the capital level as at the end of the reporting period is deemed adequate by the directors.

Fair value measurements

Fair value estimation

The table below analyzes financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

The following table presents the group’s financial liabilities that are measured at fair value:

There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year.

The following table presents the changes in Level 3 instruments:

See note 24 for disclosures of the measurement of the contingent consideration.

5. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

In the opinion of the directors, the accounting estimates and judgments made in the course of preparing these financial statements are not difficult, subjective or complex to a degree which would warrant their description as critical in terms of the requirements of IAS 1 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’, except as referred to below:

(a) Revenue recognition

In accordance with IAS 18 ‘Revenue’, we recognize revenue once all of the criteria are met:

·          the seller has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership;

·          the seller retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

·          the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

·          it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the seller, and

·          the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

We generate substantially all of our revenue through the sale of virtual goods. In the majority of our games, our players first purchase virtual currency that is later used to purchase virtual goods.

The Group initially defers proceeds related to the sale of virtual currency and virtual items. The Group recognizes revenue after the virtual currency is exchanged for virtual items and such items are used. The Group sells two types of virtual items: consumable and durable virtual items. The Group recognizes revenue related to consumable virtual items at the time of consumption. Revenue related to durable virtual items is deferred and recognized over the period in which the items are expected to be used. The Group has made the following judgments concerning the deferral of revenue:

(b) Income taxes

The group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.

18

6. Segments and geographical information

The Group has one reporting segment with one business activity: developing and monetizing digital games.
