2. Basis for preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosure required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS").

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 were approved on September 13, 2021 by the Board of Directors.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the preferred shares C series which were measured at fair value with the gains/losses recognized in profit or loss.

3. Adoption of new and revised Standards

The EU IFRS include all International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations as approved by the European Union. As at the date of approving these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for publication, considering the pending process of introducing IFRSs in the EU and the operations conducted by the Group, the EU IFRS applicable to these financial statements might differ from IFRS adopted by International Accounting Standards Board.

In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements the Group's management has analyzed new Standards which have already been adopted by the European Union and which should be applied for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021 that those are not applicable for the Group.

New International Financial Reporting Standards and Interpretations published but not yet effective:

● IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts (issued on January 30, 2014) – The European Commission has decided not to launch the endorsement process of this interim standard and to wait for the final standard – not yet endorsed by EU at the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issue – effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2016;

  • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (issued on September 11, 2014) – the endorsement process of these Amendments has been postponed by EU - the effective date was deferred indefinitely by International Accounting Standards Board;
  • IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (issued on May 18, 2017) including Amendments to IFRS 17 (issued on June 25, 2020) not yet endorsed by EU at the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issue – effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2023;
  • Amendments to IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current Deferral of Effective Date (issued on January 23, 2020 and July 15, 2020 respectively) – not yet endorsed by EU at the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issue – effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2023;
  • Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies (issued on February 12, 2021) not yet endorsed by EU at the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issue – effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2023;
  • Amendments to IAS 8: Definition of Accounting Estimates (issued on February 12, 2021) not yet endorsed by EU at the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issue – effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2023;
  • Amendments to IFRS 16: Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 (issued on March 31, 2021) effective for financial years beginning on or after April 1, 2021;
  • Amendments to IAS 12: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (issued on May 6, 2021) – not yet endorsed by EU at the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements – effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2023;
  • Amendments to IFRS 3: Reference to the Conceptual Framework (issued on 14 May 2020) effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2022;
  • Amendments to IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment Proceeds before Intended Use (issued on 14 May 2020) effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2022;
  • Amendments to IAS 37: Onerous Contracts Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (issued on 14 May 2020) effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2022;
  • Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020 (issued on 14 May 2020) effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2022.

These standards and amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

4. Significant accounting policies, key judgments and estimates

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2021. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2021, but do not have an impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group. In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements and estimates made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Group and are consistent across the reported periods.

5. Revenue

Huuuge's business, development and sales of casual games for mobile platforms is global and both games and sales channels are the same, regardless of where the players (customers) are located. Management measures and monitors the Group's revenue in respect of each game, but does not allocate all costs, assets and liabilities by game and does not measure the operating results by game. In management's view, the operations and the Group's financial performance and position cannot be divided into different segments in such a way that it improves the ability to analyze and manage the company. The CEO is the Chief operating decision maker and for this reason, the CEO analyzes the consolidated financial position and operating results of the Group as a whole, therefore it has been determined that the Group has only one operating segment ("online mobile games").

The Group's management monitors operating results on a group-wide basis for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.

The Group's revenue from contracts with clients are comprised of revenue generated by in-app purchases (gaming applications) and in-app ads (advertising), as shown below:

Six-month period ended
June 30, 2021 Unaudited
Six-month period ended
June 30, 2020 Unaudited
Gaming applications 185,851 162,928
Advertising 7,383 2,065
Total revenue 193,234 164,993

The Group's revenue is recognized over time, irrespective of the product and the geographical region.

For the gaming services, the transaction price is prepaid by the customers when the virtual coins are purchased to allow continuation of the game; the payments result in the recognition of the contract liability in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position. The amounts recognized as deferred income are recognized as revenue on average within 2 days.

For the gaming service, the amount recognized as deferred income as at the balance sheet date also represents the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period.

For advertising, the Group does not disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period using the practical expedient allowed under IFRS 15, i.e. the Group has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity's performance completed to date.

Below is the split of the revenue per main product groups:

Six-month period ended
June 30, 2021Unaudited
Six-month period ended
June 30, 2020 Unaudited
Huuuge Casino 111,309 101,235
Billionaire Casino 59,073 55,726
Traffic Puzzle* 15,887 4,235
Other games 6,965 3,797
- including games developed by external developers
based on publishing contracts
340 415
Total revenue 193,234 164,993

*Traffic Puzzle revenues include revenues for the six month period June 30, 2021, i.e. revenues based on publishing agreement and revenues after acquisition of the game. Traffic Puzzle revenues include revenues for the six month period June 30, 2020 based on publishing agreement.

The Group distributes in-house games as well as the games developed by other companies. In most cases, the Group is the owner of the application and is fully responsible for future upgrades and future developments of this game application. In some cases, the Group publishes mobile game applications of third-party developers based on the publishing contracts entered in the period of 2019-2020. The publishing contract provides the Group with an exclusive right for a distribution, marketing and operation of the games developed by external developers and to benefit from selling the virtual coins to the end-users. The Group has the ultimate responsibility for providing the game to a customer and it is entitled to set prices for virtual coins charged to the end-user as well as authorize the upgrade and modifications of games. Therefore, in such a situation, the Group acts as a principal in its relation to the developers and players. Being a principal, the Group presents in-app revenue on a gross basis.

Revenue was generated in the following countries:

Six-month period ended June 30, 2021
Unaudited
Six-month period ended June 30, 2020

United States 117,122 97,495

United Kingdom 5,880 4,966

Russia 1,313 1,451
Other 18,894 17,977
Total revenue 193,234 164,993

The above is the management's best estimate, as for some revenue sources geographical breakdown is not available. The allocation to regions is driven by the location of individual end-user customer. No individual end-user customer with whom the Group concludes transactions had a share of 10% or more in the Group's total revenues in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 or June 30, 2020. Revenues are generated by several platform providers, such as Apple App Store, Google Play, Facebook and Amazon App Store.

When selling the mobile game applications of third-party developers, the Group is obliged to pay the fees to the external developers based on the publishing contracts signed. Although the publishing contracts provide the Group with an exclusive right to use the games, the usage of these games is contingent on the future services which need to be provided by the external developers and which are the subject of the Group's authorization and consent. In accordance with the publishing contracts, the external developers are obliged to perform the on-going development of the game and improvements to increase its functionalities as well as the maintenance services. As a result, the contracts with external developers are partially executory arrangement as the future developments do not exist at the contract inception and no liability to the contractor arises until the contractor performs work under the contract, i.e. the services specified in the contracts with external developers are performed. However, the fees agreed by the Group and developers in these arrangements are set usually in relation to the whole bunch of the promises included in a contract, i.e. there is no relevant split of the consideration between the purchase price paid for the right to use a game and the future additional services (development operations and maintenance services). The Group is not able to reliably distinguish the expenditures incurred in relation to the right to the game (i.e. the license) from the payment for the development operations and maintenance services, therefore, the expenditures incurred by the Group in relation to the publishing arrangements are charged to the profit and loss as incurred with no liability recognized at the date of signing the contract. These fees are presented in line "External developers fees".

The future monthly expenditure related to the publishing contracts that were in force as at June 30, 2021 amounts to USD 95 thousand (USD 178 thousand as at June 30, 2020). The above commitments comprise the fixed fees contracted in the publishing arrangements and do not include the variable payments which are based on the future cash flows from selling the games, and the future development fees subject to the specific arrangements and agreements between parties on a scope of services.

Other costs include mainly IT services, car fleet management service and costs of recruitment services.

Finance expenses include mainly valuation of preference shares from the series C previously (before conversion into common shares) classified as a non-current liability in the amount of USD 38,997 thousand in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 (USD 11,467 thousand in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020). On February 5, 2021 series C preference shares were converted into common shares. For more information, please refer to Note 13 Share capital and Note 15 Conversion of series C preference shares.

Prior to the initial public offering, the Company had entered into foreign exchange forward contract contingent upon the event of initial public offering. Upon occurrence of initial public offering event, the Company received proceeds from the newly issued shares converted to USD at a fixed PLN/USD exchange rate, as determined in the forward contract. The Group's policy choice is to present the profit or loss on forward contracts as finance income or expense accordingly. Loss of USD 2,662 thousand was incurred on the forward contract settlement date, presented in the line "Finance expense" in the interim condensed statement of comprehensive income.

Interest expense includes interest expense recognized under IFRS 16 on lease liabilities, as well as interest expense from banks.

The subsidiary companies are subject to taxes for their respective businesses in the countries of their registration at the rates prevailing in those jurisdictions. Income tax expense is recognized based on management's estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year, including tax effect of valuation of the series C preference shares liability. The tax rate used for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 is (12)%, compared to 16% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. The tax rate was higher in 2020 due to the change of proportion of Huuuge Inc. profits in the total profit of the Group and higher proportion of non-tax deductible costs, i.e. mainly the valuation of the series C preference shares and costs related to the employee stock option plan ("ESOP") to profit before tax.

Acquisition of Traffic Puzzle game

On April 27, 2021, Huuuge Global Ltd. entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA") under which it acquired from PICADILLA GAMES Adziński, Porzucek, Czerenkiewicz sp. k. with its registered office in Wrocław, Poland ("Picadilla") the mobile game Traffic Puzzle together with the related rights and assets, for the amount of USD 38,900 thousand ("Purchase Price").

The Purchase Price payment schedule is as follows:

a) USD 9,500 thousand was paid within 10 business days from the signing of the APA (already paid as at June 30, 2021);

b) USD 25,000 thousand within 15 business days from the completion of the handover of the acquired assets (not paid as at June 30, 2021);

c) USD 4,400 thousand within 15 business days from the first anniversary of the completion of the handover of the acquired assets (not paid as at June 30, 2021).

Together with the APA, Huuuge Global and Picadilla concluded a development agreement relating to the maintenance, support and development of Traffic Puzzle mobile game, which was concluded for the period until the completion of the handover of the acquired assets (in any case no longer than 9 months from the date of signing of the APA).

In addition, Huuuge Global and Picadilla entered into a service agreement under which Picadilla will provide support and advice and share knowledge regarding the Traffic Puzzle game for a period of 12 months commencing on the next day following the completion of the handover of acquired assets. Under the service agreement, Picadilla will receive USD 100 thousand.

The Game Publishing Agreement between Huuuge Global and Picadilla was terminated.

Taking into account the details of transaction, i.e. the fact that one key asset (new game) was acquired, and in addition, acquired asset does not include an organized workforce, the Group recognized the transaction as an asset acquisition (and not as a business combination) at the date of the transaction. To be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. The relevant criteria of IFRS 3 for business combination have not been met, the transaction resulted in recognition of an intangible asset in the amount of USD 38,900 thousand that has been classified as an asset with definite useful life. Based on the analysis of all relevant factors, the useful life of the acquired asset has been estimated as 10 years.

The change of trade and other payables presented in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the period ended June 30, 2021 excludes second tranche in the amount of USD 25,000 thousand and third tranche in the amount USD 4,400 thousand not yet paid.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, there were no significant changes in the value of other intangible assets.

For more information please refer to Note 13 Share capital.

12. Accounting classifications of financial instruments and fair values

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Group's management did not identify any financial assets measured at fair value – neither through profit or loss nor through other comprehensive income.

The Group's management believes that the fair values of financial instruments do not differ significantly from their carrying amounts.

Series C preference shares

On February 5, 2021 series C preference shares were converted into common shares. At the date of the conversion series C preference shares liability was measured to fair value based on the value of shares established for the Company's initial public offering, with the loss recognized in profit or loss. For more information, please refer to Note 13 Share capital and to Note 15 Conversion of series C preference shares.

Prior to conversion, series C preference shares liability was measured at fair value initially and after initial recognition with the gains/loss on subsequent remeasurements being recognized in profit or loss.

As of December 31,2020, the fair value measurements of series C preference shares were classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2020 were the following: EBITDA multiple, discount for lack of marketability, revenue multiple, discount rate, probability of the initial public offering. A quantitative sensitivity analysis of the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements as of December 31, 2020 were presented in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following valuation techniques were used to estimate the fair values:

● As of December 31, 2020, the fair values of the non-listed common shares of the Company which were the basis for valuation of liability resulting from issuance of series C preference shares has been estimated using the Hybrid Method, i.e., a combination of the Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method ("PWERM") and the Option-Pricing Method ("OPM"). PWERM is rooted in a decision-tree analysis and models potential future expected outcomes on the basis of potential probability of certain circumstances (e.g. sale or merger, IPO, dissolution, or continuation as a going concern).

Under PWERM, the Group's management estimated the probability of future IPO under three different outcome scenarios, and the probability of continuation of its business without significant changes. Under each of three outcome scenarios of IPO, the equity value was estimated accordingly. Under the scenario of continuation of the Group's business as so far, share price was estimated by applying the OPM.

13. Share capital

Before February 5, 2021, Group's share capital comprised from common and preference shares series A and B. Starting from February 5, 2021, Group's share capital comprises from common and preferred shares series A, B and C.

● Issuance of series A and series B preference shares

On February 5, 2021 the Board of Directors, issued one series A preference share to RPII HGE LLC (Raine Group), with a par value of USD 0.00002 per share for cash consideration of USD 50 and one series B preference share to Big Bets OU, with a par value of USD 0.00002 per share, for cash consideration of USD 50, for which total cash consideration amounting to USD 100 was received in February 2021. The difference between the nominal amount and the consideration received was recognized in the supplementary capital in the interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity.

Initial public offering

On January 27, 2021 Huuuge Inc. published its prospectus and launched its initial public offering. The offering comprised a public subscription for 11,300,100 newly issued shares. The final share price for offering shares was determined as PLN 50 per share (approx. USD 13.53 per share). Difference between the nominal amount of newly issued shares and the cash consideration received was in the supplementary capital in the interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity.

● Execution of stabilization option

On February 5, 2021 the Company and IPOPEMA Securities S.A. ("Stabilization Manager") signed Stabilization Agreement. The purpose of the Stabilization Agreement was to stabilize the price of the Huuuge Inc. shares at a level higher than the level which would otherwise have prevailed. When the Company entered the contract, the liability was recognised in correspondence with equity. At the same time, the Company recognised a prepayment (financial asset) in the same amount to reflect the fact that the stabilisation activities were funded from the proceeds from the offering. The liability and the assets were measured at fair value through profit or loss until the stabilisation transactions were completed. As such, these transactions had no net impact on profit or loss.

On February 26, 2021 the Company ended the stabilization process, which started upon initial public offering on February 19, 2021, and the above-mentioned liability and asset have been derecognized. The Company repurchased via Stabilization Manager its own shares in the total number of 3,331,668 in the price range PLN 38.4000 – 49.9850 (USD 10.35 – USD 13.51). The repurchased shares were recognized as a decrease in equity (treasury shares) in the

total amount of USD 43,976 thousand, calculated as the number of shares repurchased, multiplied by the price per share plus the remuneration paid to Stabilization Manager representing transaction cost of this capital transaction.

● Exercise of stock options

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, before share split 6,411 share options (equivalent of 32,055 options after share split) held by the employees under the share-based payment program were exercised, resulting in the issuance of common shares with the difference between the exercise price paid by the employee and the nominal amount of shares recognized as share premium (presented within "Supplementary capital") of USD 3 thousand (USD 4 thousand in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020). The exercise price was paid by the employees in cash.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 the following transaction in preference shares took place:

● Based on the share purchase agreement dated January 29, 2020, RP II HGE LLC (Raine) purchased from Huuuge Inc. 490,167 preference shares for a cash consideration of USD 9,681 thousand (USD 19.75 per share). RP II HGE LLC (Raine) purchased 248,897 Series A preference shares, 168,005 Series B preference shares and 73,265 Series C preference shares. These shares had been earlier purchased and not redeemed by Huuuge Inc. from the Korean funds in December 2019 by the same price USD 19.75 per share and presented within the line "Treasury shares".

As at June 30, 2021 (after share split), 2,619,213 share options were exercisable, with weighted average exercise price of USD 1.93 per share. As at June 30, 2020 (before share split), 626,103 share options were exercisable, with weighted average exercise price of USD 4.17 per share.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, before share split, 6,411 common shares were issued (equivalent of 32,055 common shares after share split ) from the share-based payment program and 980,286 treasury shares will be delivered after the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements as described in Note 23 Subsequent events. The Group received cash payments for the shares not yet delivered as of June 30, 2021, which were recognized as a liability to its employees. This resulted in a difference between the change of trade and other payables in the statement of financial position as of June 30,2021 and the change of trade and other payables presented in the statement of cash flows for the six-months period ended June 30, 2021 amounting to USD 685 thousand.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, i.e. before share split – 18,653 common shares were issued resulting from the equity-settled stock option program.

Other than the share-based payment arrangements described above, the Group accounts for the earn-out consideration as a result of the acquisition that took place on July 16, 2020. In this arrangement, the fair value of the share price as at December 31, 2020 was estimated at USD 54.53 (before share split). As at December 31, 2020 the total number of shares to be vested during the period of 3 years after the transaction was estimated at 46,213 shares. After the share split as described in Note 13 Share capital, and due to the decreased fair value of share price as at June 30, 2021 (USD 9,52) the total number of shares to be vested during the period of 3 years after the transaction is estimated at 67,378 shares as at June 30, 2021.

The sensitivity of the total numbers of shares to be transferred to the sellers, during the period of 3 years after the transaction, to the change of the fair value of the share price in future or estimated amount of earn-out consideration is presented below (all other inputs remain constant):

Total expense related to share-based payment arrangements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 comprises ESOP in the amount of USD 5,055 thousand (this expense includes USD 185 thousand related to Mr Anton's Gauffin options which is

explained in detail further below) and earn-out consideration in the amount of USD 33 thousand. Total expense related to share-based payment arrangements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 comprises ESOP in the amount of USD 1,081 thousand.

These costs were allocated to Sales and marketing expenses, Research and development expenses and General and administrative expenses lines in the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

In addition, On March 19, 2021 the Board of Directors adopted recommendation from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee on executive and non-executive compensation ("Proposal"). This date is the date when Mr. Gauffin started rendering the services in respect of that grant ("service commencement date"), thus relevant costs have been recognized starting from March 19,2021.

Proposal was approved by the Board of Directors on September 9, 2021, and the contract was executed on September 10, 2021.

In accordance with the adopted Proposal, the remuneration of Mr Anton Gauffin, holding the positions of the President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of the Company, will consist solely of share options. All options can be exercised at a price of PLN 50, i.e., the price of the Company's shares in the initial public offering.

The vesting conditions for the options is the following:

  • (i) 50,000 options with a vesting condition to provide the service continuously for about 4 years from service commencement date. The Group's management expects Mr Anton Gauffin to fulfill the service condition.
  • (ii) 75,000 options with a vesting condition to provide the service continuously for about 4 years from service commencement date and to meet 2021 EBITDA target. The Group's management expects Mr Anton Gauffin to fulfill the service condition and expects 2021 EBITDA target to be met.
  • (iii) 375,000 options with a variable vesting period due to the market condition, i.e., condition to meet the Company's market capitalization milestones. The Group's management estimates that 6 years of continuous service will be required for options to vest.

Similar to other share-based payments in the Group, for this program staged vesting applies, i.e., each instalment has different vesting period and is treated as a separate award with a different vesting period.

17. Cash flows reconciliation

The change of trade and other payables presented in the consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2021 does not equal the change in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-months period ended June 30, 2021. The difference is due to:

statement of cash flows for the six-months period ended June 30, 2021 in the amount of USD 685 thousand. For details, please refer to Note 14 Share-based payment arrangements.

18. Provisions

Court case

As of December 31, 2019 the Group recognized provision for a potential unfavourable outcome in the court case, presented in the line "Other provisions" in the consolidated statements of financial position. On or about April 6, 2018, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington by a player plaintiff. The complaint sought damages for alleged violations of Washington law associated with plaintiff's alleged in-app purchases within one or more of the Company's games. Specifically, the plaintiff alleged violations for the recovery of money lost in gambling and for violations of the Washington Consumer Protection Act. The plaintiff additionally sought damages for unjust enrichment. The Company denied the plaintiff's allegations, denied that it violated any laws or regulations, denied that the suit should be treated as a class action, denied the plaintiff's damages claims, and has been vigorously defending itself against the plaintiff's claims. The Company filed a motion to compel arbitration on July 2, 2018, which the District Court denied on November 13, 2018. The Company timely filed a notice of appeal on December 6, 2018, and filed its opening brief in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on March 6, 2019. The Company also filed a motion to stay the district court proceedings pending a decision on its appeal, which was granted on March 1, 2019. The provision of USD 6,500 thousand was recognized in 2019 in the separate line item in the statement of the financial position as "Other provisions" and in the "Other operating income/(expense), net" line item in the statement of comprehensive income. The Group's management estimated that the costs would be realized within a period for which the discounting effect would not be material and accounts for the provision in an undiscounted amount. The parties mediated on June 15, 2020 and reached agreement on a term sheet on a class action basis on June 16, 2020. On August 23, 2020, a class action settlement agreement was concluded between the class representatives, including the plaintiff, and filed with the court, intending to fully, finally and forever resolve, discharge and settle the claims related to this suit. The United States District Court finally approved the Settlement Agreement on February 11, 2021. The Court finds that the settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate and it is a result of extensive, arm's-length negotiations. Subsequently the Court ordered the Group to settle final claims determinations, including payment and prospective relief. Payment was made on March 26, 2021, with the corresponding utilization of the provision.

Consumption tax from the revenues from Japan

As of June 30, 2020 additional provision recognized related to the collected Japan Consumption Tax ("JCT") applicable to sales to customers purchasing content on the App Store in Japan. The provision for JCT was estimated based on the applicable tax rate multiplied by the amount of sales to customers in Japan, with a further delayed payment of the tax in the following period. Starting from January 2021, prepayments of the collected JCT are made to the tax authorities on a quarterly basis, therefore no additional provision is recognized as of June 30, 2021.

19. Contingencies

Tax contingent liabilities

Tax settlements are subject to review and investigation by tax authorities, which are entitled to impose severe fines, penalties and interest charges. Tax regulations in the United States, Poland and Israel, which apart from Cyprus constitute the main operating environments of the Group, have been changing recently, which may lead to lack of their clarity and integrity. Furthermore, frequent contradictions in tax interpretations in Poland, both within government bodies and between companies and government bodies create uncertainties and conflicts. These facts create tax risks that are substantially more significant than those typically found in countries with more developed tax systems.

Tax authorities may examine accounting records retrospectively: for 3 years in the United States (and up to 6 years in case of substantial errors), 5 years in Poland, 7 years in Cyprus (and up to 12 years in case of substantial errors) and 7 years in Israel. Consequently, the Parent Company and subsidiaries may be subject to additional tax liabilities, which may arise as a result of

tax audits. The Board of Directors of the Parent Company believes that there was no need to record any provisions for known and quantifiable risks in this regard as in their assessment there are no such uncertain tax positions for which it would be probable that the taxation authority will not accept the tax treatment applied by the Group.

20. Related party transactions

On February 5, 2021 one series A preference share was issued to RP II HE LLC - the Group's shareholder, with a par value of USD 0.00002 per share for cash consideration of USD 50, and one series B preference share was issued to Big Bets OU - the Group's shareholder, with a par value of USD 0.00002 per share, for cash consideration of USD 50.

Based on shares purchase agreement dated January 29, 2020 RP II HGE LLC – the Group's shareholder purchased from Huuuge Inc. 490,167 preference shares for a cash consideration of USD 9,681 thousand (USD 19.75 per share) which had been previously acquired by Huuuge Inc. from the Korean funds in December 2019 (for details on the December 2019 transaction please refer to Note 18 Share capital of the Group's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020). RP II HGE LLC purchased 248,897 series A preference shares, 168,005 series B preference shares and 73,265 series C preference shares. Due to the fact that the share price of treasury shares reissued was equal to their purchase price no amount was recognized in Supplementary capital on this subsequent sale of treasury shares. The cash consideration was transferred in February 2020.

There is no ultimate controlling party.

22. Impact of COVID-19

On March 11, 2020 WHO declared global COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and recommended preventive measures such as the physical social distancing. Consequently, governments worldwide implemented unprecedented restrictions. The impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak have evolved from mid-March 2020 up to the day of issuing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The Group's management constantly monitors specific facts and circumstances and the financial results. Neither the video game industry as a whole, nor the Group's operations in particular, have been adversely affected by the pandemic and there is no going concern issue. The Group proved to be resilient to the lockdown, the operations have been maintained with employees working remotely and online gaming's popularity is on the rise with many people globally adhering to social distancing guidelines.

A significant increase of the Group's revenues and operating result for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 indicates that COVID-19 pandemic had no negative impact on the Group's business.

Based on the analysis performed by the Group's management as of June 30, 2021, COVID-19 pandemic has no negative impact on the Group's liquidity. Due to the fact that the Group's receivables are settled by the large platform providers, such as Apple App Store, Google Play, Facebook and Amazon App Store. The Group's management assessed the risk of receivables irrecoverability as minimal. The Group's management has not identified any evidence to modify the assumptions used to assess expected credit losses.

23. Subsequent events

After June 30, 2021 and up to the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issue no other significant events except the following have occurred.

Delivery of the treasury shares for options exercised during the six-months period ended June 30, 2021

After June 30, 2021 and up to the date of approval of these condensed consolidated financial statements for issue the Company delivered 980,286 treasury shares to its employees for the options exercised during six-months period ended June 30, 2021 under stock option plan as presented in Note 14 Share-based payment arrangements. The delivery of shares will be presented as a movement from treasury shares to common shares. The movement will result in an increase in share capital in the amount of nominal value of the shares delivered, and any difference between the value of treasury shares and the cash consideration received will be recognized in supplementary capital. At the same time, the movement will decrease the number of shares (not issued) allocated for the existing share-based payment programs.

The amendments of employee stock option plans

On July 1, 2021 the Board of Directors has approved the reduction of total number of shares (not issued) allocated for the existing share-based payment programs by 847,856 shares. This is because the treasury shares will be delivered to employees for the options exercised during six-months period ended June 30, 2021, as described above.

On August 9, 2021 the Board of Directors extended the number of shares allocated (not issued) for employee stock option plan by additional 5,897,271 shares.

As a result of these changes, the amended number of shares allocated (not issued) for the share-based payment programs amounts 13,244,435 shares as at the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issue.

Approval of grant of new options

On August 9, 2021 the Board of Directors approved the grant of 3,523,764 options to its employees within employee stock option program with a weighted average exercise price of USD 9.55.

Establishment of new entity

On July 1, 2021 new entity Huuuge UK Ltd. (incorporated in United Kingdom) was established. 100% of shares of this entity were taken up by Huuuge Inc. The entity was established with a share capital amounting to GBP 250 thousand and cash to cover issued share capital of the entity will be transferred upon completion of the procedure of opening the bank account. This transaction does not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group due to the fact that establishment of the subsidiaries is eliminated in full. The new entity was established in United Kingdom for the purposes of extension of international presence of the Group.
