The directors confirm that the parent company, MBC Lotteries Ltd, will continue to support the company for a period of 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements.

| Turnover

| Turnover represents the gross amount receivable for external lottery management services, exclusive of value added tax. Turnover is recognised when the lottery draw to which the service relates has taken place.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Deferred tax

| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.

| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

| Hire purchase and leasing commitments

| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

| Exceptional items

| Exceptional items are items that are unusual because of their size, nature or incidence and which the Directors consider should be disclosed separately to enable a full understanding of the company’s results.

| Trade receivables

| Trade receivables do not carry any interest and are stated at amortised cost as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts. The company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.

| A provision is established for trade receivables if there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of trade. Management perform a whole of life probability weighted impairment review when there is a significant increase in credit risk. If there is a change in the timeline for recovery, the fair value of the receivable is determined by applying the effective interest rate and the resulting discounting provision is recognised in the income statement.

| Trade payables

| Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

| Equity instruments

| Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
