INTRALOT S.A. – "Integrated Lottery Systems and Gaming Services", with the distinct title «INTRALOT» is a business entity that was established based on the Laws of Hellenic Republic, whose shares are traded in the Athens Stock Exchange. Reference to «INTRALOT» or the «Company» includes INTRALOT S.A. whereas reference to the «Group» includes INTRALOT S.A. and its fully consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated. The Company was established in 1992 and has its registered office in Maroussi of Attica.
INTRALOT, a public listed company, is the leading supplier of integrated gaming and transaction processing systems, innovative game content, sports betting management and interactive gaming services to state-licensed gaming organizations worldwide. Its broad portfolio of products & services, its know-how of Lottery, Betting, Racing & Video Lottery operations and its leading-edge technology, give INTRALOT a competitive advantage, which contributes directly to customers' efficiency, profitability and growth. With presence in 44 countries and states, with approximately 3.800 employees and revenues from continuing operations of €0,7 billion for 2019, INTRALOT has established its presence on all 5 major continents.
The interim financial statements of the Group and the Company for the period ended March 31, 2020 were approved by the Board of Directors on June 4, 2020.
The attached financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and the derivative financial instruments that are measured at fair value, or at cost if the difference is not a significant amount, and on condition that the Company and the Group would continue as a going concern, as described below. The attached financial statements are presented in Euros and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (€000) except if indicated otherwise.
The Group maintains sufficient liquidity, while at the same time there are unused available bank facilities that can be used under certain conditions to deal with a possible shortage of cash at the Group level in the near future.
The continuous efforts of the Management for further sales increase and operating costs reduction through restructuring and development of synergies, as well as for improvement of the efficiency and productivity will contribute to the further strengthening of the capital structure and efficiency of the Company and the Group.
However, given the imminent obligation to repay Facility A (note 2.17), meeting the cash needs for the repayment of these debt obligations of the Group may require the adoption of complex financial options. Their successful adoption will remove the existence of material uncertainty about the possibility of smooth going concern of the Company and the Group, which is exclusively refers to the debt refinancing process.
In this context, the Group Management has prepared a detailed plan of Expected Cash Flows for a period up to the maturity date of Facility A.
It should be noted that recent developments regarding the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions and bans imposed are expected to adversely affect the results of 2020. More specifically, the lockdown ban, the closure of stores and the lack of sports betting content is the main source of impact on the Group revenue during the critical period. Therefore, evaluating the data of the first fourth months period of 2020, as well as early May
2020, and the available forecasts of the lockdown by region, all of the above were taken into account when preparing plan for Expected Cash Flows.
From the review of this plan, the Management of the Group, has concluded that no additional funds are required and there are no cash needs that cannot be met with the current conditions and the major issue remains the settlement of the repayment of Facility A.
Furthermore, in this direction INTRALOT has retained Evercore Partners and Allen & Overy, as financial and legal advisors respectively, to review and implement strategic alternatives for the business. The strategic review process will include assessing all available financial and strategic options which may be available to optimize the Company's capital structure, with a view to best position the Company to capture growth opportunities in its key markets and maximize stakeholder value. In that regard, the Company and its advisors will seek to engage directly with its stakeholders in due course.
In conclusion, the Management, taking into account the Plan of Expected Cash Flows and all available information on the foreseeable future, as well as the strategic alternatives that is working on for optimizing the Group's capital structure and deleveraging, estimates that the Group has ensured its going concern.
In view of the above, the Financial Statements of the Group were prepared on the basis of the going concern principle of continuing concern (going concern), as the Management estimates that the above actions will allow the Group to continue its operation smoothly.
These financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2020 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Those interim condensed financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required by IFRS in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's and Company's annual financial statements as at December 31, 2019.
INTRALOT keeps its accounting books and records and prepares its financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Law 4308/2014 chap. 2, 3 & 4 and current tax regulations and issues its financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
INTRALOT's Greek subsidiaries keep their accounting books and records and prepare their financial statements in accordance with GAS (L.4308/2014), the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and current tax regulations. INTRALOT's foreign subsidiaries keep their accounting books and records and prepare their financial statements in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations in their respective countries. For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, Group entities' financial statements are adjusted and prepared in relation to the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
For the preparation of the financial statements of period ended March 31, 2020, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the most recent annual financial statements (December 31, 2019), except for the below mentioned adoption of new standards and interpretations applicable for fiscal periods beginning at January 1, 2020.
New standards, amendments of published standards and interpretations mandatory for accounting periods beginning on 1st January 2020. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new and amended standards and interpretations is set out below.
This applies to annual accounting periods starting on or after 1st January 2020. Earlier application is permitted. In October 2018 the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" to improve the definition of a business. The amendments will help companies determine whether an acquisition made is of a business or a group of assets. The amended definition emphasizes that the output of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, whereas the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits to investors and others. In addition to amending the wording of the definition, the Board has provided supplementary guidance. Distinguishing between a business and a group of assets is important because an acquirer recognizes goodwill only when acquiring a business. This amendment does not significantly affect the Group's financial statements.
This applies to annual accounting periods starting on or after 1st January 2020. Earlier application is permitted. In October 2018 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" regarding its definition of material to make it easier for companies to make materiality judgments. The definition of material, an important accounting concept in IFRS Standards, helps companies decide whether information should be included in their financial statements. The amendments are a response to findings that some companies experienced difficulties using the old definition when judging whether information was material for inclusion in the financial statements. The amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied by including in the definition guidance that until now has featured elsewhere in IFRS Standards. In addition, the explanations accompanying the definition have been improved. Finally, the amendments ensure that the definition of material is consistent across all IFRS Standards. Old definition: Omissions or misstatements of items are material if they could, individually or collectively, influence the economic decisions that users make on the basis of the financial statements (IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements).
New definition: Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.
These amendments do not significantly affect the Group's financial statements.
This applies to annual accounting periods starting on or after 1st January 2020. Earlier application is permitted. In September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to some specific hedge accounting requirements to provide relief from potential effects of the uncertainty caused by the Interest Rates Benchmark reform. The amendments
are designed to support the provision of useful financial information by companies during the period of uncertainty arising from the phasing out of interest rate benchmarks such as interbank offered rates (IBORs). It requires companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties.
These amendments do not significantly affect the Group's financial statements.
(COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No. 2019/2075 of 29th November 2019, L 316/10 - 6/12/2019) This applies to annual accounting periods starting on or after 1st January 2020.
In March 2018, the IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework), the objective of which was to incorporate some important issues that were not covered, as well as update and clarify some guidance that was unclear or out of date. The revised Conceptual Framework includes a new chapter on measurement, which analyzes the concept on measurement, including factors to be considered when selecting a measurement basis, concepts on presentation and disclosure, and guidance on derecognition of assets and liabilities from financial statements. In addition, the revised Conceptual Framework includes improved definitions of an asset and a liability, guidance supporting these definitions, update of recognition criteria for assets and liabilities, as well as clarifications in important areas, such as the roles of stewardship, prudence and measurement uncertainty in financial reporting.
This revision does not significantly affect the Group's financial statements.
(COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No. 2019/2075 of 29th November 2019, L 316/10 - 6/12/2019)
This applies to annual accounting periods starting on or after 1st January 2020.
In March 2018, the IASB issued Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework, following its revision. Some Standards include explicit references to previous versions of the Conceptual Framework. The objective of these amendments is to update those references so that they refer to the revised Conceptual Framework and to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework.
These amendments do not significantly affect the Group's financial statements.
The following new standards, amendments and IFRICs have been published but are in effect for the annual fiscal period beginning the 1st of January 2021 and have not been adopted from the Group earlier.
This applies to annual accounting periods starting on or after 1st January 2021. Earlier application is permitted. In May 2017, the IASB issued a new accounting Standard, called IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" that replaces IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts", which was brought in as an interim Standard in 2004. IFRS 4 has given companies dispensation to carry on accounting for insurance contracts using national accounting standards, resulting in a multitude of different approaches. As a consequence, it is difficult for investors to compare and contrast the financial performance of otherwise similar companies. IFRS 17 solves the comparison problems created by IFRS 4 by requiring all insurance contracts to be accounted for in a consistent manner, benefiting both investors and
insurance companies. Insurance obligations will be accounted for using current values, instead of historical cost. The information will be updated regularly, providing more useful information to users of financial statements. This new standard does not affect Group financial statements and has not yet been endorsed by the European Union.
This applies to annual accounting periods starting on or after 1st January 2022. Earlier application is permitted. In January 2020 the IASB issued amendment to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" that affect requirements for the presentation of liabilities. Specifically, they clarify one of the criteria for classifying a liability as non-current, the requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The amendments include: (a) specifying that an entity's right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period; (b) clarifying that classification is unaffected by management's intentions or expectations about whether the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement; (c) clarifying how lending conditions affect classification; and (d) clarifying requirements for classifying liabilities an entity will or may settle by issuing its own equity instruments.
The Group will assess the impact of the amendment on its financial statements. These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the European Union.
These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the European Union.
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) do not define the content of the "EBITDA" & "EBIT". The Group taking into account the nature of its activities, defines "EBITDA" as "Operating Profit/(Loss) before tax" adjusted for the figures "Profit/(loss) from equity method consolidations", "Profit/(loss) on net monetary position", "Exchange Differences", "Interest and similar income", "Interest and similar expenses", "Income/(expenses) from participations and investments", "Write-off and impairment loss of assets", "Gain/(loss) from assets disposal" and "Assets depreciation and amortization". Also, the Group defines "EBIT" as "Operating Profit/(Loss) before tax" adjusted for the figures "Profit/(loss) from equity method consolidations", "Profit/(loss) on net monetary position", "Exchange Differences", "Interest and similar income", "Interest and similar expenses", "Income/(expenses) from participations and investments" ,"Write-off and impairment loss of assets" and "Gain/(loss) from assets disposal".

For the calculation of the project EBITDA of the Company, the direct costs of the projects are allocated directly to the projects for which they are carried out. Payroll costs related to the Company's production segments are recorded in "Cost of Sales" and are allocated to projects based on man effort at Company level. "Distribution Expenses" and "Administration Expenses" are monitored per project and allocated to them based on man effort at Company level. "Research and Development Expenses" are allocated to the projects in proportion to the revenues of each project in the total revenue of the Company. Furthermore, for the calculation of the Company's "Gross" results per project, the relevant depreciation of tangible and intangible assets are accounted and the allocated operating "Distribution", "Administration" and "Research and Development" expenses are deducted. In cases where the hours of work are redistributed from one project to another then the costs of disposal, administration and research and development are calculated accordingly.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of revenues, expenses, assets liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities that included in the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its judgements, estimates and assumptions that mainly refer to goodwill impairment, allowance for doubtful receivables – expected credit losses, provision for staff retirement indemnities, provision for impairment of inventories value, impairment of tangible and intangible assets as well as estimation of their useful lives, recognition of revenue and expenses, pending legal cases, provision for income tax and recoverability of deferred tax assets. These judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations of future events that are considered reasonable under the circumstances.
The key judgements, estimates and assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of uncertainty at the reporting date of the interim condensed financial statements for the period ended on March 31, 2020 and have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are consistent with those applied and were valid at the reporting date of the annual financial statements December 31, 2019.
More specifically, the Management of the Group evaluates the going concern assumption based on the approved business plans that cover a period of five years. Following this, it prepares Expected Cash Flows that cover a period of at least 12 months since the financial statements reporting date.
In the present fiscal year, given that there are significant events beyond the period of the initial assessment and more specifically the imminent obligation to repay the Facility A (note 2.17), the Management of the Group has extended the evaluation period of going concern in order to cover the contractual maturity date for the repayment of the said Facility.
The estimates and assumptions used to prepare the business plans and Expected Cash Flows are based on historical data as well as on various factors that are considered reasonable given the circumstances, and are reconsidered taking into account current and expected future market conditions. The preparation of business plans also includes long-term assumptions for important economic factors that involve a significant use of Management judgement.
The Group revenue can fluctuate due to seasonality in some components of the worldwide operations. In particular, the majority of the Group sports betting revenue is generated from bets placed on European football, which has an off-season in the European summer that typically causes a corresponding periodic decrease in the Group revenue. In addition, Group revenue from lotteries can be somewhat dependent on the size of jackpots of lottery games during the relevant period. The Group revenue may also be affected by the scheduling of major football events that do not occur annually, notably the FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championships, and by the performance of certain teams within specific tournaments, particularly where the national football teams, in the markets where the Group earns the majority of its revenue, fail to qualify for the World Cup. Furthermore, the cancellation or curtailment of significant sporting events, for example due to adverse weather, traffic or transport disruption or civil disturbances, may also affect Group revenue. This information is provided to allow for a better understanding of the revenue, however, Group management has concluded that this is not "highly seasonal" in accordance with IAS 34.

Management tests goodwill for impairment annually (December 31) or more frequently if events occur or changes in conditions indicate that the carrying value may have been reduced in accordance with accounting practice described in note 2.1.6 «Business Combination and Goodwill» of the annual Financial Statements of December 31, 2019.
The Group proceeded with a goodwill impairment test on 31/12/2019 and the basic assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount are described below. The above review on 31/12/2019, as well as the relevant intermediate reviews on 31/3/2019 and on 30/6/2020 for the subsidiary Inteltek Internet A.S., resulted in the recognition of goodwill impairment provisions to the subsidiaries Inteltek Internet A.S. (first quarter 2019 €1.756 thousand and second quarter 2019 €1.281 thousand), Eurobet Ltd (fourth quarter 2019 €18.493 thousand) and Bit8 Ltd (fourth quarter 2019 €1.107 thousand), which were included in the income statement of 2019 .
The recoverable amounts of cash generating units have been determined based on value in use calculations using appropriate estimates regarding future cash flows and discount rates.
Specifically, goodwill arising on consolidation of acquired subsidiaries and intangible assets with indefinite useful life are allocated to the following cash generating units (CGU) by geographical area. Goodwill impairment testing is performed on subsidiary level.

¹ Νet decrease in goodwill during the first quarter of 2020 by €484 thousand is caused by the foreign currency translation losses from goodwill valuations related to foreign subsidiaries acquisitions, made by the Group in past periods, with functional currency other than Euro.
The recoverable amount of each CGU is determined according to the calculations of value in use. The determination is obtained by the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be generated
by each CGU (discounted cash flow method - DCF). The cash flows are derived from the most recent approved by the management budgets for the next three years and do not include estimated future cash inflows or outflows expected to arise from future restructurings or from improving or enhancing the asset's performance which is tested for impairment. The expected cash flow projections beyond the period covered by the most recent budgets is estimated by extrapolating the projections based on the budgets, using a steady or declining growth rate for subsequent years, which does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for products, industries, countries in which the Group operates, or for the market in which the asset is used. The Group makes estimates beyond the period of three years where it has signed revenue contracts beyond three years as well as in cases where management believes that based on market data and renewals track record of the Group, the renewal of the relevant contracts beyond the three year period is very possible. Cash flow projections are based on reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent management's best estimate of the range of economic conditions that will exist over the remaining useful life of the asset, giving greater weight to external evidence. Management assesses the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying the current cash flow projections by examining the causes of differences between past cash flow projections and actual cash flows. Management also ensures that the assumptions on which its current cash flow projections are based are consistent with past actual outcomes, provided that subsequent events or circumstances that did not exist when those actual cash flows were generated make this appropriate.
The value in use for CGUs affected (has sensitivity) of the following key factors (assumptions):
Sales projections are derived from estimates of local management of various subsidiaries. These projections are based on careful assessments of various factors, such as past performance, estimates of growth of the local market, competition - if exists, possible changes in the institutional framework governing the gambling market, the economic situation of the gambling industry and the market in general, new opportunities such as lotteries privatizations, etc.

| Other countries | 20,2% - 27,8% | 0,0% - 44,5% |
The factors taken into account for the calculation of the growth rate in perpetuity derive from external sources and include among others, the level of maturity of each market, the existence of barriers to entry for competitors, the economic situation of the market, existing competition and technology trends.

The discount rates represent the current market assessments of the risks personalized for each CGU, having made the necessary adjustments for the time value of money and possible risks specific to any assets that have not been included in the cash flow projections. The calculation of discount rates based on specific conditions under which the Group and its operating segments operate and calculated through the weighted average cost of capital method (WACC). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity derives from the expected return that Group investors have for their investment. The Cost of debt is based on the interest rate of the loans that the Group must facilitate. The specific risk of each country is incorporated by implementing individualized sensitivity factors «beta» (beta factors). The sensitivity factors «beta» are evaluated annually based on published market data.

On 31/12/2019, the Group analyzed the sensitivity of the recoverable amounts in a reasonable and possible change of some of the basic assumptions (such as the change of a (1,0) of a percentage point to the growth rate in perpetuity and the change of the discount rates of a (1,0) percentage point). This analysis does not show a situation in which the carrying amount of the Group's significant CGUs exceeds their recoverable amount.

The management estimated that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables approximates their fair value, primarily because of their short term maturities.
The Group classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making these measurements. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: official quoted prices (unadjusted) in markets with significant volume of transactions for similar assets or liabilities
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The Group and the Company held on 31/3/2020 the following assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is the amount at which the asset could be sold or the liability transferred in a current transaction between market participants, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair values:
The fair value of unquoted shares (classified as "equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income") except that it is sensitive to a reasonably possible change in the forecast cash flows and the discount rate, is also sensitive to a reasonably possible change in growth rates. The valuation requires management to use unobservable inputs in the model, of which the most significant are disclosed in the tables below. The management regularly assesses a range of reasonably possible alternatives for those significant unobservable inputs and determines their impact on the total fair value. Unquoted shares (classified as "equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income")
On 31/3/2020 and 31/12/2019 the Group did not hold any unquoted shares (classified as "Equity instruments valued at fair value through other comprehensive income").

Both parties filed appeals against this decision which are scheduled to be heard, following postponements, on 22 September 2020. The second lawsuit had been scheduled for hearing, following postponements, on 15 October 2020. The Company had made respective provisions to its financial statements for the period ending on 31 December 2019.
o. In Morocco, a judgment was notified to the subsidiary company Intralot Maroc deciding the payment of the amount of 3.360.000 MAD (€301.485,89) to a supplier company. The company Intralot Maroc filed an appeal which is was accepted and, therefore, Intralot Maroc does not owe this amount. The plaintiff filed a cassation appeal against this decision which is pending.
p. On 1 April 2019, the Company filed a Request for Arbitration before the ICC International Court of Arbitration requesting to be declared that the defendant Sisal SpA has breached a contract signed with Intralot by using, in Morocco, terminals and the software embedded therein. The arbitration procedure is in progress.
q. In Morocco, "La Société de Gestion de la Loterie Nationale" ("SGLN") filed a lawsuit against the Company and its subsidiary Intralot Maroc claiming that it exercised unilaterally its option to transfer to it the equipment of Intralot which was used jointly by SGLN and the other local lottery "La Marocaine des Jeux et des Sports" ("MDJS") and, because of Intralot's denial, it suffered damages in the amount of MAD 18.000.000 (€1.615.103,01) which corresponds to the value of the equipment, while, additionally, it requests MAD 34.000.000 (€3.050.750,13) as loss of profit. It is also requesting the call of the letter of guarantee amounting to MAD 30.000.000 (€2.691.838,35). It is noted that according to the terms of the Intralot's contracts with the two lotteries SGLN & MDJS, the option for the transfer of the equipment as well as any call of the letters of guarantee can only be exercised with a joint request of both entities SGLN & MDJS. The case was scheduled to be heard, following postponements, on 26 March 2020 and since then it is pending because of the suspension of the procedures due to the coronavirus pandemic.
r. In Bulgaria, the Bulgarian State Gambling Commission (SGC) notified both Eurobet Ltd (a 49% subsidiary of the Group) and Eurofootball Ltd (an associate of the Group with a 49% ownership), for a claim of retrospective State Fees amounting to BGN 74,4m (€38,0m) and BGN 328,9m (€168,2m), respectively. Given that the payment of State Fees for both companies has always been in accordance with the provisions of the Gambling Act and the approved regulations by the Bulgarian Ministry of
Finance, both companies have filed lawsuits against such claims which are pending. The requests for suspension of execution have been rejected. The claimed amounts with regards to the State Fees relate only to each respective company and there is no liability for its shareholders. Taking also into consideration that the Government of Bulgaria has passed legislation that amended the local gambling law, according to which all lottery-type of games, except for KENO type of games, are organized under a State Monopoly and that, as a consequence, three of the six existing licenses held by Eurobet Ltd have been terminated by Law on 21 February 2020, Eurobet Ltd, in order to be protected from its creditors, filed for bankruptcy before the Sofia Court on 6 March 2020; the procedure is pending.
Until 3/6/2020, apart from the legal issues for which a provision has been recognised, the Group Management estimates that the rest of the litigations will be finalized without a material effect on the Group's and the Company's financial position and results.

The tax audit at Inteltek Internet AS an audit was notified for the dividend's taxes of 2018. A tax audit for Bilyoner İnteraktif Hizmetler AS for the years 2018-2019 is in progress. In Bilot Investments Ltd has begun an audit for income tax and other taxes for fiscal years 06/2016-31/12/2019 as well as in Bilot EOOD for fiscal years 01/01/2014-31/12/2019. In Lotrom S.A. the audit initiated by the local tax authorities with respect to financial activities for transactions subject to VAT for the period 2004-2014 was completed in the fourth quarter of 2016, but so far the conclusion report has not been yet notified to the company.
In the context of Law 2238/94 Art. 82 par. 5 and POL.1159/2011, the companies Betting Company SA and Intralot Interactive SA have received a tax certificate for the years 2014-2018, Intralot SA for the years 2014-2017 and Intralot Services SA for the years 2015-2018 and 1/1-22/7/2019 when the liquidation process started. In Intralot SA the issuance of a tax certificate for the fiscal year 2018 and 2019 is in progress while in Betting Company SA and Intralot Interactive SA the issuance of a tax certificate for fiscal year 2019 is in progress.
In Intralot SA during the tax audit for the year 2011, were imposed taxes on accounting differences plus surcharges amounting to €3,9 million. The Company lodged an administrative appeal against the relevant control sheets resulting in a reduction of taxes to €3,34 million. The Company filed new appeals to the Greek Administrative Courts which did not justify the Company, which filed an appeal before the Council of State. The Company's management and its legal advisors estimate that there is a significant probability that the appeal will thrive finally for the most part. The Company has formed sufficient provisions and has paid the whole amount of taxes.
Also a tax audit is in process following a mandate (February 2020) for fiscal years 2014 & 2015, as well as a partial VAT audit for the period 1/2/2010-31/10/2012 upon request of assistance from Romanians to the Greek tax authorities on transactions with a Romanian company.
Finally, in Intralot SA, after the completion of tax audit for 2013, as well as partial re-audit of 2011 and 2012, taxes, VAT, fines and surcharges of €15,7 million were imposed. The Company has made a provision of €3,5 million while has filed an appeal against the relevant audit sheets in which refutes the allegations, disputes its views and seeks the annulment of the final determination acts for taxes, VAT, fines and surcharges. The outcome of the above case cannot be assessed to date due to its high degree of uncertainty.

At Intralot de Peru SAC a tax audit is in progress for the year 2017. At Servicios Transdata S.A. the income tax audit has been completed in 2014 for the fiscal year 2008 and VAT audit for the period 1/1/2008- 30/6/2009 confirming additional taxes and surcharges of €3,4 million. The company has initiated a
complaint procedure according to the relevant legislation for the cancellation of taxes and fines. The company's legal advisers believe that the most likely outcome of the case will be positive.
An audit of income tax and other taxes for the fiscal year 1/1/2014-31/12/2019 has begun at the associate company Eurofootball Ltd. At the same time, in February 2020, the Bulgarian State Gambling Commission (SGC) notified Eurofootball Ltd for a claim of retrospective State Fees amounting to BGN 328,9 million (€168,2 million). Given that the payment of State Fees for above company has always been in accordance with the provisions of the Gambling Act and the approved regulations by the Bulgarian Ministry of Finance, it is deemed that the above claims are unfounded and unjustified and the company appealed before the local Administrative Courts. In order to protect its interests, the company, if required, will exercise all its additional legal rights, including claims for indemnification, before local and / or European and international forums and / or courts. Further information is provided in note 2.21.A.

In the presented data of the previous years, there were limited adjustments/reclassifications for comparability purposes, with no significant impact on "Equity", "Sale Proceeds" and "Profit / (loss) after tax" of the Group and the Company.
The Group operates in Argentina through its two subsidiaries Tecno Accion SA and Tecno Accion Salta SA. Since the third quarter of 2018, the cumulative 3-year inflation index in Argentina has exceeded 100% and the country is now considered as a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes under IAS 29. The Group applied, for the first time in the nine months of 2018, IAS 29 and restated to current purchasing power in the financial statements (transactions and non-cash balances) of the above subsidiaries that use ARS as functional currency and present their financial statements at historical cost. The restatement was made using the (IPIM) Internal Index Wholesale Prices and applied pursuant to IAS 29, as if Argentina has always been a hyperinflationary economy.
The result (after the relevant consolidation eliminations) from the restatement of the non-cash assets, liabilities and transactions of the first quarter of 2020 following the application of IAS 29 amounted to a profit of €188 thousand and was recorded in the Income Statement (line "Gain/(loss) on net monetary position").
The conversion FX rates of the financial statements of the above subsidiaries were:
| 31/3/2020 | 31/12/2019 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| EUR / ARS | 70,87 | 67,23 | 5,41% |
| Income statement: | |||
| AVG 1/1-31/3/2020 | AVG 1/1-31/3/2019 | Change | |
| EUR / ARS ¹ | 70,87 | 48,61 | 45,79% |
1The Income Statement of the first three months of 2020 of the Group's subsidiaries operating in Argentina was converted at the closing rate of 31/3/2020 instead of the Avg. 1/1-31/3/2020 pursuant to IAS 21, paragraph 42a, for hyperinflationary economies.
Below are the most significant fluctuations in the Group's Income Statement for the period 1/1- 31/3/2020 compared to 1/1-31/3/2019:
Sale proceeds decreased by €90,7 million, or by 47,1%, from €192,7 million in the period 1/1-31/3/2019 to €102,0 million in the period 1/1/-31/3/2020. This decrease was mainly driven by the decreased revenue in the segments "Licensed operations" and "Management contracts". Particularly, Sale proceeds decreased by €71,4 million in Bulgaria (driven mainly by the change in the consolidation method of Eurofootball Ltd since December 2019 - equity method versus full consolidation previously, as well as the termination of gaming licenses of Eurobet Ltd in February 2020), by €11,9 million in Turkey (due to the non-renewed contract of Inteltek Internet AS post August of 2019, the reduced market share of Bilyoner AS and the revised commercial terms, following the transition to the new Sports Betting era in Turkey, as well as the negative FX impact), by €4,9 million in Malta (mainly due to COVID-19 impact from mid-March 2020), by €4,0 million in Morocco (due to the revised commercial terms following the transition to the new contract, as well as the COVID-19 impact in late first quarter 2020), by €1,9 million in Chile (mainly due to the significant Lotto jackpot in first quarter in 2019 and the recent social unrest in the country), and by €1,4 million in Argentina (due to the negative FX impact and the application of IAS 29). At the same time, turnover increased by €5,1 million in the US (mainly due to the full quarter contribution in 2020 of the new contract to Illinois (beginning in mid-February 2019)), one-off revenue recognition in relation to the new project with BCLC in Canada, fully absorbing the Ohio CSP contract impact which expired in June 2019, the late first quarter 2020 Covid-19 impact, and the Powerball jackpot occurrence in first quarter 2019).
Sale Proceeds for the period 1/1-31/3/2020 on a constant currency basis, net of negative FX impact of €6,0 million, amounted to €108,0 million meaning a decrease by 44,0% compared to the period 1/1- 31/3/2019.
Gross profit decreased by €19,6 million, or by 49,3%, from €39,8 million in the period 1/1-31/3/2019 to €20,2 million in the period 1/1/-31/3/2020. This decrease is mainly driven from the decrease in Sale proceeds as analyzed above.
Other operating income decreased by €1,2 million, or 24,5%, from €4,9 million in the three months period ended March 31, 2019 to €3,7 million in the three months period ended March 31, 2020. This decrease is mainly due to reduced revenue from rental equipment in the USA, as well as from uncollected winnings and lower revenue of supporting network sales points in Bulgaria and Argentina.
Selling expenses decreased by €4,0 million, or 37,0%, from €10,8 million in the three months period ended March 31, 2019 to €6,8 million in the three months period ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to higher training costs of the retailers' network for the roll out of the Illinois contract in USA, as well as lower advertising costs in 2020 in Turkey and Bulgaria.
Administrative expenses decreased by €1,4 million, or 7,0%, from €19,9 million in the three months period ended March 31, 2019 to €18,5 million in the three months period ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to decreased costs in Turkyey and Bulgaria.
Other operating expenses decreased by €0,1 million, from €0,6 million in the period 1/1-31/3/2019 to €0,5 million in the period 1/1/-31/3/2020. This decrease is mainly due to lower provisions for doubtful receivables, as well as higher contractual penalties in 2020.
EBITDA decreased by €16,0 million, or by 50,3%, from €31,8 million in the period 1/1-31/3/2019 to €15,8 million in the period 1/1/-31/3/2020. This decrease is mainly driven by the decrease in Sale proceeds and the decrease in Gross Profit as analyzed above.
EBITDA for the period 1/1-31/3/2020 on a constant currency basis, net of negative FX impact of €1,1 million, amounted to €16,9 million meaning a decrease by 46,8% compared to the period 1/1-31/3/2019.
Income/(expenses) from participations and investments increased by €0,2 million, from €0,0 million in the period 1/1-31/3/2019 to €0,2 million in the period 1/1/-31/3/2020. This increase is mainly due to the increased revenue from dividends by €1,1 million in 2020, which was partially offset by the increased losses from the sale of stocks and securities in 2020 of €0,9 million (mainly due to the loss of €0,6 million from the loss of control of the Eurobet Ltd Group).
Gain / (losses) from assets disposal, impairment loss and write-off of assets improved by €2,4 million, from loss €2,3 million in the period 1/1-31/3/2019 to gain €0,1 million in the period 1/1-31/3/2020. This improvement is mainly driven by the increased impairment provisions of assets in 2019, mainly due to the impairment provision of goodwill in subsidiaries. Further analysis is provided to note 2.10.
Interest and similar expenses decreased by €0,5 million, or 3,8%, from €13,2 million in the three months period ended March 31, 2019 to €12,7 million in the three months period ended March 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to the repayment/ cancellation of Intralot Finance UK Ltd loan agreements in middle 2019.
Interest and related income decreased by €1,5 million, or 68,2% from €2,2 million in the three months period ended March 31, 2019 to €0,7 million in the three months period ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to lower interest income on bank deposits and trade receivables.
The account "Exchange Differences" in the period 1/1-31/3/2020 of €460 thousand mainly refers to losses of approximately €482 thousand from valuation of cash balances in foreign currency other than the functional currency of each entity, gain of approximately €22 thousand from valuation of commercial and borrowing liabilities (intercompany and non) in EUR that various subsidiaries abroad had as at 31/3/2020, with a different functional currency than the Group.
Losses from equity method consolidations decreased by €0,7 million from €0,9 million in the period 1/1- 31/3/2019 to €0,2 million in the period 1/1-31/3/2020. This is mainly driven by the bigger losses of the Group's associates in Asia.
Taxes in the period 1/1-31/3/2020 amounted to €2,0 million, versus €5,9 million in the period 1/1- 31/3/2019. This decrease was primarily due to lower burden in 2020 from the current income tax (mainly due to lower taxable incomes in Turkey).
Further analysis for the accounts Group Income Statement for the period 1/1-31/3/2020 compared to 1/1- 31/3/2019 is provided in the ANNUAL Group Management report ("INTRALOT Group MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS") that has been posted in the website www.intralot.com.
No significant reclassifications were made to the Group's statement of financial position as of 31/3/2020 compared to the 31/12/2019.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect economic and business activity around the world. The extent of its impact will depend on its duration, government policy in key jurisdictions regarding restrictions implemented and the current and subsequent economic disruption that the pandemic will cause.
According to late May 2020 H2GC data, the current outlook for the gaming business has worsened when compared to H2GC mid-April outlook. Gaming industry global GGR for 2020 is expected to fall between 2011 and 2012 levels, i.e. around \$370 billion, approximately 22% lower compared to its forecasts prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, impacted significantly among other factors by the postponement or cancelation of major sporting events and competitions globally.
By evaluating the latest available May 2020 data and known lockdown conditions per jurisdiction and the slow restart of sporting events, the Company's best estimate impact for 2020 remains in the vicinity of €25m at Group's EBITDA level.
Optimism, in terms of impact, rests in the fact that restrictions in various markets have been lifted earlier than initially expected and the top line impact in many cases is lower than previously forecasted. For example, in the US, 3-month data show a high degree of resilience of our operations, and in Malta and Morocco the lockdown was lifted on early May and early June respectively, in both cases earlier than anticipated. In Australia, however impact assumptions are confirmed until now as well as for other jurisdictions. We are still monitoring and assessing the situation focusing, besides restrictions lift, on activity pickup curves.
The health and safety of our team remains our top priority. The company is constantly reviewing the situation in order to protect the safety of its employees and the integrity of its operation and will offer updates when conditions change materially.

In May 2020, INTRALOT announced the launch of "Sports Bet Montana" in the US State of Montana. The Montana Lottery has been working toward launching sports betting since last May, when a bill bringing sports wagering to Montana and placing it with the Lottery was passed into law. The Lottery started accepting applications for locations to obtain sports wagering licenses in late 2019 while it was working on placing the regulatory framework and games rules that ensure responsible play in conjunction with a competitive content. INTRALOT deployed in Montana its new INTRALOT Orion sports betting platform to enable the Montana Lottery's sports wagering self-service terminals and mobile sports wagering offering. In addition, INTRALOT provides to the Montana Lottery a complete suite of services, such as Managed Trading and Marketing Services (MTMS) and Customer Support (CS).
At early June 2020, INTRALOT and its U.S. subsidiary Intralot Inc, announced the launch of its Digital Sports Betting solution in Washington, DC and congratulated the District of Columbia Office of Lottery and Gaming (DC Lottery) on the introduction. GambetDC, the world class sports betting platform powered by the DC Lottery, went live with a soft launch on May 28, 2020. The new sports betting experience offers responsible entertainment, while generating revenue supporting public programs, services, and initiatives
that benefit the residents and the economic vitality of the District of Columbia. INTRALOT, as part of its current contract with the DC Lottery, deployed its new INTRALOT Orion sports betting platform to enable the GambetDC mobile and desktop sports betting offering. In addition to the technology, INTRALOT provides the DC Lottery with a complete suite of supporting sports betting services, such as Managed Trading Services (MTS), Marketing Services (MS), and Customer Support (CS). The GambetDC website is available to the general public with this initial soft launch release. The native iOS and Android apps will be deployed in the coming weeks. Upon full deployment, the GambetDC platform will be available via native application download on both iOS and Android as well as accessible via desktop and will allow players to place their wagers quickly and with ease. GambetDC players have access to a wide assortment of betting markets as well as different wager options including single-game, parlay, in-game and proposition bets.
