Outlook
The strong trading momentum seen over the first six months of the year continued into Q3 and into the early stages of Q4. As previously flagged, there will be an impact on profitability from Q4 onwards from the introduction of the UK point of consumption ("POC") tax on bonuses. Likewise, and also as previously highlighted, marketing spend is weighted towards the second half of the financial year. Management, however, remains confident in meeting the upper end of market expectations for FY17.
Neil Goulden, Executive Chairman, commented:
"The third quarter has seen a continuation in the strong underlying momentum that we saw during the first six months of 2017, with gaming revenue up 14% and Adjusted EBITDA[1] up 4%. There continues to be solid customer growth across the Group, with our Vera&John business segment performing particularly well, with constant currency revenue growth of 21% in the quarter.
I am very proud of the new integrated advertising campaign for our Jackpotjoy brand, which launched in the UK in mid-September. Television personality, Paddy McGuinness, succeeded Barbara Windsor as the new brand ambassador and early signs indicate that the campaign is helping to reinforce our market leadership position in online bingo in the UK.
Finally, in October, the Group announced that Andrew McIver will be stepping down from his role as Chief Executive Officer, having successfully overseen the listing on the London Stock Exchange earlier this year. In my new role as Executive Chairman, I will be responsible for leading the development and execution of long term strategy, while Simon Wykes has joined us as Group Managing Director to provide additional operational expertise.
Andy will step down as a Director on 31 December 2017 and will remain with the Company until 31 January 2018 to ensure a smooth transition of duties to the new members of the executive team. On behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to thank him for his work in helping establish the Group as a UK plc and I wish him well in the future.
Against a positive operational backdrop and given the new management structure in place, I have full confidence that Jackpotjoy plc will continue to go from strength to strength and generate attractive returns for our shareholders."

Note Regarding Non-IFRS Measures
The following non-IFRS measures are used in this release because management believes that they provide additional useful information regarding ongoing operating and financial performance. Readers are cautioned that the definitions are not recognised measures under IFRS, do not have standardised meanings prescribed by IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or construed to be alternatives to revenues and net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the period determined in accordance with IFRS or as indicators of performance, liquidity or cash flows. The Group's method of calculating these measures may differ from the method used by other entities. Accordingly, the Group's measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities or in other jurisdictions.
Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Group, is income before interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, amortisation and depreciation, share-based compensation, independent committee related expenses, severance costs, (gain)/loss on cross currency swap, fair value adjustments on contingent consideration, transaction related costs, foreign exchange, and gain on sale of intangible assets. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is another important indicator of the issuer's ability to generate liquidity to service outstanding debt and fund acquisition earn-out payments and uses this metric for such purpose. The exclusion of share-based compensation eliminates non-cash items and the exclusion of independent committee related expenses, severance costs, (gain)/loss on cross currency swap, fair value adjustments on contingent consideration, transaction related costs, foreign exchange, and gain on sale of intangible assets eliminates items which management believes are non-operational and non-routine.
Adjusted net income, as defined by the Group, means net income plus or minus items of note that management may reasonably quantify and believes will provide the reader with a better understanding of the Group's underlying business performance. Adjusted net income is calculated by adjusting net income for accretion, amortisation of acquisition related purchase price intangibles and non-compete clauses, share-based compensation, independent committee related expenses, severance costs, (gain)/loss on cross currency swap, fair value adjustments on contingent consideration, transaction related costs, foreign exchange, and gain on sale of intangible assets. The exclusion of accretion and share-based compensation eliminates the non-cash impact and the exclusion of amortisation of acquisition related purchase price intangibles and non-compete clauses, independent committee related expenses, severance costs, (gain)/loss on cross currency swap, fair value adjustments on contingent consideration, transaction related costs, foreign exchange, and gain on sale of intangible assets eliminates items which management believes are non-operational and non-routine. Adjusted net income is considered by some investors and analysts for the purpose of assisting in valuing a company.

Financial Review
Revenue
The Group's revenues during the three months ended 30 September 2017 consisted of:
£52.2 million in revenue earned from Jackpotjoy's operational activities.
£18.4 million in revenue earned from Vera&John's operational activities.
£4.9 million in revenue earned from Mandalay's operational activities.
The Group's revenues during the three months ended 30 September 2016 consisted of:
£46.7 million in revenue earned from Jackpotjoy's operational activities.
£14.4 million in revenue earned from Vera&John's operational activities.
£5.3 million in revenue earned from Mandalay's operational activities.
The increase in revenue for the three months ended 30 September 2017 in comparison with the three months ended 30 September 2016 relates primarily to organic growth of the Vera&John and Jackpotjoy segments, where revenue increased by 28% and 12%, respectively.

Gaming taxes 8,742 7,334
Processing fees 3,344 2,878
36,448 31,518
Selling and marketing expenses consist of payments made to affiliates and general marketing expenses related to each brand. Licensing fees consist of the fees for the Mandalay and Jackpotjoy segments to operate on their respective platforms and game suppliers' fees paid by the Vera&John and Jackpotjoy segments. Gaming taxes largely consist of POC tax, which is a 15% tax on Real Money Gaming Revenue[5] introduced in the UK in December 2014. Processing fees consist of costs associated with using payment providers and include payment service provider transaction and handling costs, as well as deposit and withdrawal fees. With the exception of selling and marketing expenses, distribution costs tend to be variable in relation to revenue.
The increase in distribution costs for the three months ended 30 September 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 is mainly due to the higher revenues achieved.
Administrative costs
Three month period ended Three month period ended
30 September 2017 30 September 2016
(GBP000's) (GBP000's)
Compensation and benefits 9,631 7,840
Professional fees 670 476
General and administrative 2,276 1,920
Amortisation and depreciation 16,491 14,453
29,068 24,689
Compensation and benefits costs consist of salaries, wages, bonuses, directors' fees, benefits and share-based compensation expense. The increase in costs for the three months ended 30 September 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, relates to staff additions, operational bonus accruals, and salary increases in various business units.
Professional fees consist mainly of legal, accounting and audit fees. The variance in professional fees for the three months ended 30 September 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 relates to increases in consulting and legal costs associated with the Group's growth and dual listings on both the London Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange.
General and administrative expenses consist of items, such as rent and occupancy, travel and accommodation, insurance, listing fees, technology and development costs, and other office overhead charges. The increase in these expenses for the three months ended 30 September 2017 compared to the same period in the prior year can be attributed mostly to higher travel costs incurred in the current period.
Amortisation and depreciation consists of amortisation of the Group's intangible assets and depreciation of the Group's tangible assets over their useful lives. The increase in amortisation and depreciation for the three months ended 30 September 2017 is due to intangible and tangible asset additions since Q1 2016, particularly the non-compete clauses (as defined below).
Transaction related costs
Transaction related costs consist of legal, professional, due diligence, and special committee fees; other direct costs/fees associated with transactions and acquisitions contemplated or completed; costs associated with the UK strategic review undertaken by the Intertain board of directors; implementing Intertain's UK-centred strategic initiatives; and costs related to corporate structure optimisation.

Distribution costs 24.8 20.3 4.5 22%
Administration costs 4.2 3.9 0.3 8%
Adjusted EBITDA[1] 23.2 22.5 0.7 3%
Revenue for the Jackpotjoy segment increased quarter over quarter due to organic growth in all real money brands. Jackpotjoy UK brand revenue accounted for 65% of the Jackpotjoy segment's revenue for the three months ended 30 September 2017. While there has been steady growth at Jackpotjoy UK and Jackpotjoy Sweden brands, the sharp increase in revenue is due to the substantial growth and progression of the Starspins and Botemania brands. Collectively, they accounted for 23% of the segment's revenue, for the three months ended 30 September 2017.
Selling and marketing costs increased as expected compared to Q3 2016 and prior quarters as a substantial Jackpotjoy UK television campaign was launched in September 2017. In the three months ended 30 September 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, selling and marketing costs increased by 53%.

Adjusted EBITDA[1] 4.9 3.5 1.4 40%
Revenue for the Vera&John segment in Q3 2017 increased by 28% compared to Q3 2016 due to organic growth (including new jurisdictions) and GBP to EUR exchange rate movement. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased by 21% from Q3 2016. Distribution costs also increased by 21% in Q3 2017 compared to Q3 2016, as game suppliers and payment providers' costs moved proportionally with revenue. Selling and marketing costs increased by 17%.
Increases in administration costs for the three months ended 30 September 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, were mainly driven by increases in personnel costs as the segment continues to grow.
Mandalay

Revenue 4.9 5.3 (0.4) (8%)
Distribution costs 2.6 3.7 (1.1) (30%)
Administration costs 0.4 0.2 0.2 100%
Adjusted EBITDA[1] 1.9 1.4 0.5 36%
Revenue for the Mandalay segment for the three months ended 30 September 2017 was 8% lower compared to the prior period in 2016 but due to lower marketing spend, the Adjusted EBITDA[1] was 36% higher. Operational margins and deposit hold have been improving since the segment focused on changing promotional spend in Q1 2017. The segment continues to focus on developing a long term strategy to best maximise future growth.
Unallocated Corporate Costs
Unallocated corporate costs increased from £1.8 million to £3.2 million in the three months ended 30 September 2017 compared to the three months ended 30 September 2016. The variance mainly relates to a £1.0 million increase in compensation due to the addition of new staff and operational bonuses, a £0.3 million increase in general and administrative overhead costs associated with increased headcount and higher travel costs, as well as a £0.2 million increase in professional fees.
Key performance indicators
Average Active Customers is a key performance indicator used by management to assess real money customer acquisition and real money customer retention efforts of each of the Group's brands. The Group defines Average Active Customers as being real money customers who have placed at least one bet in a given month ("Average Active Customers"). "Average Active Customers per Month" is the Average Active Customers per month, averaged over a twelve-month period. While this measure is not recognised by IFRS, management believes that it is a meaningful indicator of the Group's ability to acquire and retain customers.
Real Money Gaming Revenue and Average Real Money Gaming Revenue per month are key performance indicators used by management to assess revenue earned from real money gaming operations of the business. The Group defines Real Money Gaming Revenue ("Real Money Gaming Revenue") as revenue less revenue earned from the Revenue Guarantee, affiliate websites and social gaming. The Group defines Average Real Money Gaming Revenue per month ("Average Real Money Gaming Revenue per month") as Real Money Gaming Revenue per month, averaged over a twelve-month period. While these measures are not recognised by IFRS, management believes that they are meaningful indicators of the Group's real money gaming operational results.
Monthly Real Money Gaming Revenue per Average Active Customer is a key performance indicator used by management to assess the Group's ability to generate Real Money Gaming Revenue on a per customer basis. The Group defines Monthly Real Money Gaming Revenue per Average Active Customer ("Monthly Real Money Gaming Revenue per Average Active Customer") as being Average Real Money Gaming Revenue per month divided by Average Active Customers per Month. While this measure is not recognised by IFRS, management believes that it is a meaningful indicator of the Group's ability to generate Real Money Gaming Revenue.

Independent review report to Jackpotjoy plc
Introduction
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the three and nine months ended 30 September 2017 which comprise the Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Interim Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes.
We have read the other information contained in the interim financial report and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements.
Directors' responsibilities
The interim financial report for the three and nine months ended 30 September 2017 is the responsibility of and has been approved by the directors.
As disclosed in note 2, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, '‘Interim Financial Reporting'’, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and International Accounting Standard 34, '‘Interim Financial Reporting'’, as adopted by the European Union.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express to the company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report based on our review.
Our report has been prepared in accordance with the terms of our engagement and for no other purpose. No person is entitled to rely on this report unless such a person is a person entitled to rely upon this report by virtue of and for the purpose of our terms of engagement or has been expressly authorised to do so by our prior written consent. Save as above, we do not accept responsibility for this report to any other person or for any other purpose and we hereby expressly disclaim any and all such liability.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, '‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'’ as issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, '‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'’, issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim financial information 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 International Standards on Auditing or International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) 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.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the interim financial report for the three and nine months ended 30 September 2017 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and International Accounting Standard 34, as adopted by the European Union.

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES FOR THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2017
1. Corporate Information
Jackpotjoy plc is an online gaming holding company and the parent company of The Intertain Group Limited ("Intertain"). Jackpotjoy plc was incorporated pursuant to the Companies Act 2006 (England and Wales) on 29 July 2016. Jackpotjoy plc's registered office is located at 35 Great St. Helen's, London, United Kingdom. Jackpotjoy plc became the parent company of Intertain on 25 January 2017, following a plan of arrangement transaction involving a one-for-one share exchange of all and the then outstanding common shares of Intertain shares for, at each shareholder's election, ordinary shares of Jackpotjoy plc or exchangeable shares of Intertain. Unless the context requires otherwise, use of "Group" in these accompanying notes means Jackpotjoy plc and its subsidiaries, as applicable.
The Group currently offers bingo, casino and other games to its customers using the Jackpotjoy, Starspins, Botemania, Vera&John, Costa Bingo, InterCasino, and other brands. The Jackpotjoy, Starspins, and Botemania brands operate off proprietary software owned by the Gamesys group, the Group's B2B software and support provider. The Vera&John and InterCasino brands operate off proprietary software owned by the Group. The Mandalay segment's bingo offerings operate off the Dragonfish platform, a software service provided by the 888 group. Additionally, the Group receives fees for marketing services provided by its affiliate portal business.
These Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of Jackpotjoy plc (the "Board of Directors") on 14 November 2017.
2. Basis of Preparation
Basis of presentation
These Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by management on a going concern basis, are presented in compliance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, and have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies and methods used and disclosed in Intertain's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016 (the "Annual Financial Statements"). Certain information and disclosures normally included in the Annual Financial Statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union, which also complies with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, have been omitted or condensed.
These Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Statements. All defined terms used herein are consistent with those terms as defined in the Annual Financial Statements.
These Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, other than for the measurement at fair value of the Group's cross currency swap and contingent consideration.
Following Jackpotjoy plc becoming the parent company of the group (as detailed in note 1), these Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the merger method of accounting as a continuation of the Intertain business. This method is commonly applied in such situations as the accounting for such transactions is not prescribed by IFRS 3 - Business Combinations or other applicable IFRS, which instead prompts IFRS-reporting entities to look to alternative generally accepted accounting principles for guidance. The result of the application is to present the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as if Jackpotjoy plc has always been the parent company and owned all of the subsidiaries, and the comparatives have also been prepared on that basis. The adoption of the merger method of accounting had no impact on reported earnings per share.
The comparative financial information for the year ended 31 December 2016 in these Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements does not constitute statutory accounts for that year. The auditors' report on the statutory accounts for the period ended 31 December 2016 was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a statement under sections 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
As at 30 September 2017, the Group has consolidated current assets and current liabilities of £73.4 million and £107.3 million, respectively, giving rise to a net current liability of £33.9 million. Cash generated through future operating activities is sufficient to cover the net current liability.
Basis of consolidation
Jackpotjoy plc's Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements consolidate the parent company and all of its subsidiaries. The parent controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All transactions and balances between companies are eliminated on consolidation.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which Jackpotjoy plc obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between Jackpotjoy plc's subsidiaries are eliminated. Profit and losses resulting from intercompany transactions that are recognised in assets are also eliminated.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
For a description of the Group's significant accounting policies, critical accounting estimates and assumptions, and related information see note 3 to the Annual Financial Statements. Other than what is described below, there have been no changes to the Group's significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates and assumptions during the nine months ended 30 September 2017.
Change in presentation currency
Effective from 1 January 2017, the Group changed its presentation currency from Canadian dollars ("CAD" or "$") to pounds sterling ("GBP" or "£"). Comparative information has been restated in pounds sterling in accordance with the guidance defined in IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. The Q3 2016 Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been retranslated from Canadian dollars to pounds sterling using the procedures outlined below:
- Income and expenses were translated into pounds sterling at average quarterly rates of exchange ($:£ - 0.5840). Differences resulting from the retranslation on the opening net assets and the results for the year have been taken to reserves;
- Share capital and other reserves were translated at historic rates prevailing at the dates of transactions;
- Quarterly average exchange rates were used to convert changes in items not involving cash and cash provided by/(used in) operating activities, financing activities, and investing activities. Spot rates were used to convert cash balances, beginning of period and cash balances, end of period.
As a result of this change, no retranslation movement will be recorded in the Statements of Comprehensive Income for subsidiaries whose functional currency is GBP.
Hedge accounting
Effective from 31 March 2017, the Group has elected to use hedge accounting for the purposes of recognising realised and unrealised gains and losses associated with the New Currency Swap (as defined in note 10), in accordance with guidance provided in IAS 39 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
IAS 39 permits hedge accounting under certain circumstances provided that the hedging relationship is:
- Formally designated and documented, including the entity's risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item, the nature of the risk being hedged, and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness;
- Expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk as designated and documented, and effectiveness can be reliably measured; and
- Assessed on an ongoing basis and determined to have been highly effective.
Based on the Group's analysis of the requirements outlined above, it was concluded that the New Currency Swap meets all the necessary criteria and qualifies for use of hedge accounting.

Diluted[1] GBP(0.10) GBP(0.26) GBP(0.38) GBP(0.40)
[1] In the case of a net loss, the effect of share options potentially exercisable on diluted loss per share will be anti-dilutive; therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share will be the same.
[2] An assumed conversion of convertible debentures had an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share for the three and nine months ended 30 September 2017 and 30 September 2016.
[3] Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
[4] Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period and adjusted for the number of potentially dilutive share options and contingently issuable instruments.
8. Cash and Restricted Cash

Restricted cash - other 189 253
Total cash balances 39,397 68,738
* This balance consists of cash on deposit with payment service providers, as well as segregated funds held in accordance with the terms of the Jackpotjoy earn-out payment, where the Group was required to segregate 90% of its excess cash flow, less mandatory repayments of the Group's long-term debt and earn-out payments, in a non-operational bank account. Since the Group made a final earn-out payment of £94.2 million for the non-Spanish assets of the Jackpotjoy segment on 21 June 2017, no cash was required to be segregated for this purpose at 30 September 2017 (£34.7 million as at 31 December 2016). Segregated cash does not qualify as restricted cash and, as such, it is included in cash.
9. Trade and Other Receivables
Receivables consist of the following items:
30 September 2017 31 December 2016

10. Cross Currency Swap
On 23 November 2015, the Group entered into a cross currency swap agreement (the "Currency Swap") in order to minimise the Group's exposure to exchange rate fluctuations between GBP and the US dollar ("USD") as cash generated from the Group's operations is largely in GBP, while a portion of the principal and interest payments on the Group's credit facilities are in USD. Under the Currency Swap, 90% of the Group's USD term loan interest and principal payments were swapped into GBP. The Group paid a fixed 7.81% interest in place of floating USD interest payments of LIBOR plus 6.5% (LIBOR floor of 1%). The interest and principal payments were made at a GBP/USD foreign exchange rate of 1.5135 on a USD notional amount of $293,962,500.
On 28 March 2017, the Group terminated the Currency Swap and realised total proceeds of approximately USD 42.6 million (£34.4 million) and subsequently entered into a new cross currency swap agreement (the "New Currency Swap"). Under the New Currency Swap, 50% of the Group's term loan interest and principal payments will be swapped into GBP. The Group will pay a fixed 7.4% interest in place of floating USD interest payments of LIBOR plus 6.5% (LIBOR floor of 1%). The interest and principal payments will be made at a GBP/USD foreign exchange rate of 1.2584 on a USD notional amount of $136,768,333. The New Currency Swap expires on 30 September 2019. The agreement was entered into at no cost to the Group.
The fair value of the New Currency Swap liability as at 30 September 2017 is £7.5 million (31 December 2016 - asset of £38.2 million).
Jackpotjoy plc has elected to use hedge accounting for the purposes of recognising realised and unrealised gains and losses associated with the New Currency Swap.

The cross currency swap balance represents the fair value of cash inflows/(outflows) under the Currency Swap or the New Currency Swap, as applicable.
Contingent consideration represents the fair value of the cash outflows under earn-out agreements that would result from the performance of acquired businesses. The key inputs into the fair value estimation of these liabilities include the forecast performance of the underlying businesses, the probability of achieving forecasted results and the discount rate applied in deriving a present value from those forecasts. Significant increase (decrease) in the business' performance would result in a higher (lower) fair value of the contingent consideration, while significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate would result in a lower (higher) fair value of the contingent consideration. Additionally, as earn-out periods draw closer to their completion, the range of probability factors will decrease.
A discounted cash flow valuation model was used to determine the value of the contingent consideration. The model considers the present value of the expected payments, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate of 7%. The expected payments are determined by considering the possible scenarios of forecast EBITDA, the amount to be paid under each scenario and the probability of each scenario.
Without probability and discount factors, the fair value of the contingent consideration would be approximately 25% higher (£12.1 million), than its value at 30 September 2017, increasing the current portion of the contingent consideration, which is composed of the Botemania earn-out payment and the first Jackpotjoy milestone payment, by £8.6 million and increasing the long-term contingent consideration, which is composed of the final Jackpotjoy milestone payments due in 2019 and 2020, by £3.5 million. This assumes that the financial performance of the Jackpotjoy operating segment remains in line with management's expectations.
On 21 June 2017, Jackpotjoy plc made a final earn-out payment in the amount of £94.2 million for the non-Spanish assets within its Jackpotjoy segment.
As at 30 September 2017, the contingent consideration balance related to the earn-out payment remaining on the Spanish assets included in the Jackpotjoy segment and milestone payments related to the Jackpotjoy segment.

Ordinary shares
Other than for reasons set out below, during the nine months ended 30 September 2017, Jackpotjoy plc did not issue any additional ordinary shares.
Convertible debentures
During the nine months ended 30 September 2017 (and prior to completion of the plan of arrangement), debentures at an undiscounted value of £2.3 million were converted into 628,333 common shares of Intertain. Additionally, during the nine months ended 30 September 2017 (and following the completion of the plan of arrangement), debentures at an undiscounted value of £1.0 million were converted into 288,165 ordinary shares of Jackpotjoy plc.
Share options
The share option plan (the "Share Option Plan") was approved by the Board of Directors on 5 September 2016. Upon completion of the plan of arrangement, all options over common shares of Intertain under Intertain's stock option plan were automatically exchanged for options of equivalent value over ordinary shares of Jackpotjoy plc on equivalent terms and subject to the same vesting conditions under Intertain's share option plan. The strike price of each grant has been converted from Canadian dollars to pound sterling at the foreign exchange rate of 0.606, being the exchange rate at the date of the plan of arrangement. Following the grant of the replacement options, no further options were, or will be, granted under the Share Option Plan.
During the nine months ended 30 September 2017, nil stock options were granted, 152,656 stock options were exercised, 13,000 stock options were forfeited, and nil stock options expired.
During the three and nine months ended 30 September 2017, the Group recorded £0.3 million and £1.2 million, respectively (2016 - £1.0 million and £1.5 million, respectively) in share-based compensation expense with a corresponding increase in share-based payment reserve.
Long-term incentive plan
On 24 May 2017, Jackpotjoy plc granted awards over ordinary shares under the Group's long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") for key management personnel. The awards (i) will vest on the date on which the Board of Directors determines the extent to which the performance condition (as described below) has been satisfied, and (ii) are subject to a holding period of two years beginning on the vesting date, following the end of which they will be released so that the shares can be acquired.
The performance condition as it applies to 50% of each award is based on the Group's total shareholder return compared with the total shareholder return of the companies constituting the Financial Times Stock Exchange 250 index (excluding investment trusts and financial services companies) over three years commencing on 25 January 2017 ("TSR Tranche"). The performance condition as it applies to the remaining 50% of the award is based on the Group's earnings per share ("EPS") in the last financial year of that performance period ("EPS Tranche") and vests as to 25% if final year EPS is 133.5 pence, between 25% and 100% (on a straight-line basis) if final year EPS is more than 133.5 pence but less than 160 pence, and 100% if final year EPS is 160 pence or more.
Each award under the LTIP is equity-settled and LTIP compensation expense is based on the award's estimated fair value. The fair value has been estimated using the Black-Scholes model for the EPS Tranche and the Monte Carlo model for the TSR Tranche.
During the three and nine months ended 30 September 2017, the Group recorded £0.1 million (2016 - £nil) in LTIP compensation expense with a corresponding increase in share-based payment reserve.
18. Contingent Liabilities
Indirect taxation
Jackpotjoy plc companies may be subject to indirect taxation on transactions that have been treated as exempt supplies of gambling, or on supplies that have been zero rated where legislation provides that the services are received or used and enjoyed in the country where the service provider is located. Revenues earned from customers located in any particular jurisdiction may give rise to further taxes in that jurisdiction. If such taxes are levied, either on the basis of current law or the current practice of any tax authority, or by reason of a change in the law or practice, then this may have a material adverse effect on the amount of tax payable by the Group or on its financial position. Where it is considered probable that a previously identified contingent liability will give rise to an actual outflow of funds, then a provision is made in respect of the relevant jurisdiction and period impacted. Where the likelihood of a liability arising is considered remote, or the possible contingency is not material to the financial position of the Group, the contingency is not recognised as a liability at the balance sheet date. As at 30 September 2017, the Group had recognised £nil liability (31 December 2016 - £nil) related to potential contingent indirect taxation liabilities.
