8 Earnings per ordinary share
The calculation of the basic earnings per share is based on the earnings
attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the weighted average number
of shares in issue during the year.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the basic earnings
per share, adjusted to allow for the issue of shares, on the assumed
conversion of all dilutive share options.
An adjustment for the dilutive effect of share options and convertible debt in
the previous period has not been reflected in the calculation of the diluted
loss per share, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Options
Movements in share options during the year ended 31 May 2016 were as follows:
No.
At 31 May 2015 - 1p ordinary shares -
Options granted 14,000,000
Options lapsed -
Options exercised -
At 31 May 2016 - 1p ordinary shares 14,000,000
During the year the Group established an equity-settled share based option
program. The fair value of options granted is recognised as an expense, with
a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant date
using a Black-Scholes model and is spread over the vesting period. The amount
recognised in equity is adjusted to reflect the actual number of share options
which are expected to vest.
The options were issued on 3 March 2016 to Ed Comins, Managing Director of the
Group. The fair value of each option on the grant date was estimated as being
£0.0022. The options are able to be exercised from 3 March 2019 and expire on
2 March 2026. The weighted average exercise price of all options is £0.01.
The charge for share options recorded in profit and loss for the year was
US$457 (2015: credit of US$156,000).
17 Open sports bets liabilities
Due to the closure of the sportsbook operations in 2015, the Group is no
longer exposed to open sports bets liabilities. This related to stakes that
could be received from a customer in respect of some event happening in the
future, and hence the level of any actual liability to the Group could not be
assessed until after that event had occurred, although the maximum potential
liability could be determined. Therefore, as at the financial position date,
there were US$Nil (2015: US$1,157) of such stakes that had been received where
the event to which they related was after the financial position date.
Accordingly, such amounts had been reflected as open sports bets in the
Statements of Financial Position (see note 15).
The maximum possible liability on open sports bets was US$Nil (2015:
US$0.007m).
18 Capital commitments
As at 31 May 2016, the Group had no capital commitments (2015: US$Nil).
19 Operating lease commitments
At 31 May 2016, the Group was committed to future minimum lease payments of:
Payments due within one year 86 119
Payments due between one to five years 345 102
Payments due beyond five years 86 -

The Group's principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash
equivalents, trade receivables and payables that arise directly from its
operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the
Group's operations. The existence of the financial instruments exposes the
Group to a number of financial risks, which are described in more detail
below.
The principal risks which the Group is exposed to relate to liquidity risks,
credit risks and foreign exchange risks.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will be unable to meet its financial
obligations as they fall due.
The Group's objective is to maintain continuity of funding through trading and
share issues but to also retain flexibility through the use of short-term
loans if required.
Management controls and monitors the Group's cash flow on a regular basis,
including forecasting future cash flow. Banking facilities are kept under
review to ensure they meet the Group's requirements. Funds equivalent to
customer balances are held in designated bank accounts where applicable to
ensure that Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission player protection
principles are met. The directors anticipate that the business will continue
to generate sufficient cash flow in the forthcoming period to meet its
financial obligations.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities:

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a
financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation.
Classes of financial assets - carrying amounts
Cash and cash equivalents 6,445 6,103
Bonds and deposits 2,604 2,645
Trade and other receivables 2,551 2,443

Generally, the maximum credit risk exposure of financial assets is the
carrying amount of the financial assets as shown on the face of the balance
sheet (or in the notes to the financial statements). Credit risk, therefore,
is only disclosed in circumstances where the maximum potential loss differs
significantly from the financial asset's carrying amount.
The maximum exposure to credit risks for receivables in any business segment:
Pari-mutuel 2,549 2,304
2,549 2,304
2,549
2,304
Of the above receivables, US$1,546,000 (2015: US$1,111,000) relates to amounts
owed from racing tracks. These receivables are actively monitored to avoid
significant concentration of credit risk and the directors consider there to
be no significant concentration of credit risk.
The directors consider that all the above financial assets that are not
impaired for each of the reporting dates under review are of good credit
quality. No amounts were considered past due at the year end (2015: US$Nil).
The credit risk for liquid funds and other short-term financial assets is
considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with
high-quality external credit ratings.
Interest rate risk
The Group finances its operations mainly through capital with limited levels
of borrowings. Cash at bank and in hand earns negligible interest at floating
rates, based principally on short-term interbank rates.
Any movement in interest rates would not be considered to have any significant
impact on net assets at the balance sheet date.
Foreign currency risks
The Group operates internationally and is subject to transactional foreign
currency exposures, primarily with respect to Pound Sterling, Swedish Krona,
Hong Kong Dollar and Singapore Dollar.
The Group does not actively manage the exposures but regularly monitors the
Group's currency position and exchange rate movements and makes decisions as
appropriate.
At the reporting date the Group had the following exposure:
2016 HKD US$000 GBPUS$000 EURUS$000 USDUS$000 SGDUS$000 SEKUS$000 TotalUS$000
Current assets 4,673 464 2,106 4,477 - - 11,720

Short-term exposure (2,240) 565 199 3,833 1 524 2,882
The following table illustrates the sensitivity of the net result for the year
and equity in regards to the Group's financial assets and financial
liabilities and the US Dollar-Sterling exchange rate, US Dollar-Euro exchange
rate and US Dollar-Hong Kong Dollar exchange rate.
A 5% weakening of the US Dollar against the following currencies at 31 May
2016 would have increased/(decreased) equity and profit and loss by the
amounts shown below:
Current assets 23 105 234 362
Current liabilities (20) (91) (255) (366)

A 5% strengthening of the US Dollar against the above currencies would have
had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown
above on the basis that all other variables remain constant.
22 Controlling party and ultimate controlling party
The directors consider the ultimate controlling party to be Burnbrae Limited
and its beneficial owner Jim Mellon by virtue of their combined shareholding
of 63.10%.
23 Subsequent events
To the knowledge of the directors, there have been no material events since
the end of the reporting period that require disclosure in the accounts.
