Comments
The loss for the group after providing for income tax amounted to $4,435,045 (31 December 2019: $556,348).
The COVID-19 pandemic has had minimal financial impact on the group up to 31 December 2020. Staff adapted well to alternate working arrangements when required, and despite ongoing challenges, sport and racing has continued to operate globally during the period. This has meant that the group had a continued role to play in delivering its services to wagering operators. BetMakers’ clients have also continued to operate throughout the period, and as such, BetMakers has seen no noticeable impact on the recoverability of receivables as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Further information on the 'Review of operations' is detailed in the Directors' report which is part of the Interim Report.

BetMakers Technology Group Ltd Directors' report 31 December 2020
==> picture [83 x 27] intentionally omitted <==
The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'group') consisting of BetMakers Technology Group Ltd (referred to hereafter as the 'company', "BET" or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2020.
Directors
The following persons were directors of BetMakers Technology Group Ltd during the whole of the financial half-year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:
Nicholas Chan - Chairman Todd Buckingham Simon Dulhunty Matt Davey (appointed 4 September 2020)
Principal activities
The group's principal activities during the financial half-year were the development and provision of data and analytic products for the B2B wagering market and the production and distribution of racing content.
Review of operations
The loss for the group after providing for income tax amounted to $4,435,045 (31 December 2019: $556,348).
Excluding depreciation and amortisation, income tax benefit and financing costs, the group's result was a loss of $4,981,595 (31 December 2019: a profit of $645,481). This includes $3,083,161 of share based payments expense and $831,355 in costs related to acquisitions.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had minimal financial impact on the group up to 31 December 2020. Staff adapted well to alternate working arrangements when required, and despite ongoing challenges, sport and racing has continued to operate globally during the period. This has meant that the group had a continued role to play in delivering its services to wagering operators. BetMakers’ clients have also continued to operate throughout the period, and as such, BetMakers has seen no noticeable impact on the recoverability of receivables as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
During the half-year BetMakers continued to invest in the development of its global strategy.
This included signing fixed odds deals in the US with Pointsbet, and data distribution deals with a number of US race tracks. Whilst the company continues to wait for the legislation of fixed odds horse race betting in New Jersey, investment has continued to be made to assist a fast and scalable expansion once the bill is signed off by the Attorney General.
On 1 December 2020 BetMakers announced it had entered into binding agreements to acquire Sportech PLC’s Racing and Digital assets for a consideration of GBP 30.9 million. On 29 December 2020 the company announced that Sportech shareholders had approved the sale, and consequently BetMakers made a non-refundable initial payment of GBP 6.2 million.
To support the funding of the Sportech asset acquisition, on 2 December 2020 BetMakers announced it had received firm commitments to raise $50,000,000 (before costs) under a placement via the issue of approximately 83.3 million new fully paid ordinary shares at an offer price of $0.60.
In addition to the above, the company announced the launch of a $10,000,000 Share Purchase Plan to existing eligible investors, to issue new fully paid ordinary shares at an offer price of $0.60. This offer closed on 15 January 2021 and was oversubscribed.
There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the group during the financial half-year.
Auditor's independence declaration
A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out immediately after this directors' report.

BetMakers Technology Group Ltd Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2020
==> picture [83 x 27] intentionally omitted <==
Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover BetMakers Technology Group Ltd as a group consisting of BetMakers Technology Group Ltd (the 'company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year (referred to in these financial statements as the 'group'). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is BetMakers Technology Group Ltd's functional and presentation currency.
BetMakers Technology Group Ltd is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:
22 Lambton Road Broadmeadow, NSW 2292
A description of the nature of the group's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 26 February 2021.
Note 2. Significant accounting policies
These general purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the policies stated below.
Recoverability of intangible assets and deferred tax assets
During the period, the group incurred a net loss after tax of $4,435,045 (Dec 2019: $556,348) and net operating cash outflows of $1,289,942 (Dec 2019: $223,790). The company has prepared cash flow forecasts as at 31 December 2020 to determine the recoverability of the group’s intangibles and deferred tax assets.
The key assumptions underlying these forecasts are as follows:
-
Completion of the Sportech asset acquisition;
-
Continuation of existing Platforms, Managed Trading Services, Global Betting Services ('GBS') and DynamicOdds business performance with modest growth achieved;
-
The successful expansion of the global racing content product; and
-
Launch of fixed odds wagering in the USA.
The directors are confident of achieving these assumptions. Should the above assumptions not be realised, the group may be unable to realise its intangibles and deferred tax assets.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the group during the financial half-year ended 31 December 2020 and are not expected to have any significant impact for the full financial year ending 30 June 2021.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

The group leases land and buildings for its offices of between 2 to 5 years with, in some cases, options to extend. The leases have various escalation clauses. On renewal, the terms of the leases are renegotiated.
The group leases photocopier office equipment. These leases are low-value, so have been expensed as incurred and not capitalised as right-of-use assets.

Subject to the ASX listing rules and under the terms of the LTIP, the Board may grant options and/or performance rights (options with a zero exercise price) to eligible participants ('awards'). Each award granted represents a right to receive one share once the award vests and is exercised by the relevant participant.
During the period the group has issued 2,050,000 options to employees. The share based payment expense for the period in relation to options is $433,048.
Performance rights

The share based payment expense for the performance rights granted during the period was recognised in the profit or loss of $2,650,113.

Note 18. Events after the reporting period
On 5 January 2021, the company opened a non-underwritten $10,000,000 Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) at an issue price of $0.60 per share. The offer closed on 15 January 2021 and was oversubscribed. The funds will be applied toward the company’s acquisition of the Sportech Racing and Digital assets and for general working capital.
On 17 February 2021, the company announced that it had entered into an exclusive agreement with Mr Matt Tripp to become a strategic advisor. In addition to this, Mr Tripp also agreed to subscribe for $25,000,000 of new ordinary shares in the company at an issue price of $0.70 per share. The company also received firm commitments of $50,000,000 from several existing shareholders, also at an issue price of $0.70 per ordinary share.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had minimal financial impact on the group up to 31 December 2020. Staff adapted well to alternate working arrangements when required, and despite ongoing challenges, sport and racing has continued to operate globally during the period globally. This has meant that the group had a continued role to play in delivering its services to wagering operators. BetMakers’ clients have also continued to operate throughout the period, and as such, BetMakers has seen no noticeable impact on the recoverability of receivables as a result of COVID-19.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2020 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the group's operations, the results of those operations, or the group's state of affairs in future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF BETMAKERS TECHNOLOGY GROUP LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Betmakers Technology Group Limited (the “consolidated entity”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a statement of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration.
Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Betmakers Technology Group Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:-
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020, and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with the Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, we have given the directors’ of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors’ of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half year ended on that date, and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Betmakers Technology Group Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
