Management’s Responsibility
The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this responsibility includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and fair presentation of interim financial information in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to conduct our review in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial information. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Report on Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited consolidated financial statements in our report dated May 23, 2014. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Big Fish Games, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited consolidated financial statements from which it has been derived.

BIG FISH GAMES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Three-month andnine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
(1) | Organization and Description of Business |
Big Fish Games, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the Company) are leading international producers of casual,free-to-play, and casino style games that can be played on a PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet, or online. Through its internal studios and global network of game development partners, the Company has created many of the industry’s leading casual game brands.
(2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
| (a) | Basis of Presentation and Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 270, Interim Reporting. These adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The interim financial information does not represent complete financial statements and is to be read in conjunction with the 2013 audited financial statements of the Company.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the determination of breakage revenue, judgments relating tomultiple-element arrangements and evidence of the value of undelivered elements, the estimated lives of virtual goods and paying players used for revenue recognition, useful lives of property, equipment, software and intangible assets, accrued liabilities, income taxes including the recoverability of deferred tax assets, accounting for business combinations, fair value ofshare-based awards, and evaluation of goodwill, intangible assets, andlong-lived assets for impairment. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Cash consist of cash on hand. The Company regularly has cash on deposit with financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
| (d) | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
The Company’s accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from mobile, retail and publishing partners and are recorded at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for potential uncollectible amounts. The Company reviews its accounts receivable balance on a regular basis and makes estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical collection experience, age of the receivable, knowledge of the customer, and other currently available evidence. Account balances are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
| (e) | Game Technology and Rights, Net |
Game technology and rights are purchased fromthird-party developers before the games have been produced or launched and the Company pays amounts to these developers as they reachagreed-upon milestones. Once the game is launched, the Company amortizes its game technology and rights on an accelerated basis over the useful life of the game, which is generally between 12 to 18 months.
Game technology and rights as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $16.3 million and $15.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, amortization of game technology and rights included in cost of revenue was $4.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, amortization of game technology and rights included in cost of revenue was $13.2 million and $12.1 million, respectively.
During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, amortization included in research and development was nil and $0.6 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, amortization included in research and development was nil and $0.8 million, respectively.
The Company reviews its game technology and rights at each balance sheet date to determine if any impairment exists by comparing the unamortized amounts to the estimated net realizable value. Any amounts in excess of the net realizable value are written off. Impairments of game technology and rights have not been material to date.
| (f) | Property, Equipment and Software, Net |
Property, equipment and software are recorded at cost and are depreciated using thestraight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally two to five years. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvements or the lease term. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
| (g) | Intangible Assets, Net |
Intangible assets consist primarily of acquired license agreements and unpatented technology. Intangible assets have a finite life and are stated at historical cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized using thestraight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets, generally one to seven years.

Goodwill is tested for impairment whenever circumstances indicate, but at least annually atyear-end, that the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill relates may be less than the carrying value. The Company uses an approach commonly referred to as a “step zero” where qualitative factors are assessed to determine whether it is necessary to perform atwo-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. If the qualitative assessment indicates that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than its carrying value, the Company does not perform further goodwill impairment testing. Where a significant change or events occur, and where potential impairment indicators exist, the Company continues to utilize atwo-step quantitative assessment to test goodwill for impairment. The first step is comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit to its estimated fair value. If step one indicates that impairment potential exists, the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment. The implied estimated fair value of goodwill for the reporting unit is calculated and compared to the carrying amount of goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied estimated fair value, the carrying value of the goodwill is reduced to fair value through an impairment charge recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
The Company performed a qualitative assessment during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value. As a result, thetwo-step goodwill impairment test was not required and no impairments of goodwill were recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
| (i) | Impairment of Intangible and OtherLong-Lived Assets |
Intangible and otherlong-lived asset groups are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate an asset group’s carrying value may not be recoverable. If such circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of assets by comparing the carrying amount to the estimated undiscounted cash flow associated with the related assets. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, the assets are considered impaired and an expense equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value is recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In conjunction with the restructuring plan discussed in note 11,Restructuring, the Company recorded $6.1 million of impairment charges related to certain intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which are included in restructuring and impairment charges in the consolidated statements of operations. No impairment charges were recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Royalties payable consist of amounts due tothird-party game developers based on revenue generated from sales of their games. Amounts are accrued based onagreed-upon royalty rates in the month the related game is purchased by the customer. Total expense related tothird-party royalties included in cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $6.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively. Total expense related tothird-party royalties included in cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $23.6 million and $29.5 million, respectively.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consisted of foreign currency translation gains.
The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from sales of premium casual games and virtual goods within games. The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; the product or services have been delivered; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company also considersindustry-specific software revenue recognition rules and as such, the Company makes estimates and judgments in order to determine whether certain customer offerings represent marketing and promotional activities or are elements to be accounted for separately. Once that determination is made, the Company determines whether and when each element has been delivered; determines whether undelivered products or services are essential to the functionality of the delivered products and services; determines whether vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) exists for each undelivered element, and allocates the total price among the various elements the Company must deliver.
Monthly subscriptions constitute a substantial portion of the Company’s business. Subscribers receive a game credit each month with their subscription. The Company has determined that the price of a monthly subscription is equivalent to the VSOE of the game credit and that the additional benefits of the monthly subscription are marketing and promotional activities. The value of the game credit is recognized when a customer redeems the game credit. The Company also sells game credits on its websites that are redeemable for the download of games. Revenue is recognized when the customer redeems the game credit for a game.
The Company offers a promotion whereby a free game credit is issued each time a customer purchases six games within a month. The fair value of the free game credit is deferred and recognized as revenue when the credit is redeemed or expires. Deferred revenue for these game credits as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $1.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
The Company records breakage revenue, which is recognized based upon historical game credit redemption patterns and represents the balance of credits where the Company has determined the likelihood of redemption is remote or the credits have legally expired. As the Company has certain groups of game credits that expire, and other groups that don’t have an expiration period, the Company’s assessment as to when the redemption is remote is dependent upon a number of factors, including whether the credit has legally expired, the amount of time the credit has been outstanding, historical redemption patterns by its customers, the impact of specific marketing and promotional efforts designed to retain its customers, and state escheatment laws, among others. Breakage revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $7.2 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Breakage revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $21.0 million and $16.7 million, respectively. Breakage revenue is recorded in revenue and as a reduction to deferred revenue.

The Company offers casual and casino games that customers can play at no cost and customers can purchasein-game virtual goods to enhance thegame-playing experience. The proceeds from the sale of virtual goods are recorded as deferred revenue, and recognized as the service is provided or the good is consumed. For purposes of determining when the service has been provided to the player, an implied obligation exists to the paying player to continue to make available the purchased virtual goods within the games until they are consumed. Substantially all of the Company’s virtual goods can be consumed by a specific player action. For casino games, the Company recognizes revenue as the goods are consumed, which approximates four days. For all other casualfree-to-play games, the Company recognizes revenue ratably over the estimated average playing period of paying players, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the estimated average life of these virtual goods.
Revenue earned through certain mobile and social platforms is recognized on a gross basis. As revenue from sales to paying players is deferred, the related direct and incremental platform commissions and fees as well asthird-party royalties are deferred. The deferred platform commissions, fees, and royalties are recognized as cost of revenues in the period in which the related sales are recognized as revenue.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis in the consolidated statements of operations.

| (q) | Stock Appreciation Rights |
The Company has a Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) Plan whereby certain employees have been granted SARs with a base price equal to the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. Historically, the grant date fair value of SARs was based upon the most recent value of the Company’s common stock as determined by management based in part on an independentthird-party valuation. Based on the contractual terms which limit the settlement price, the majority of the SARs are not subject to upward remeasurement above a contractual limit but may be remeasured downward in the event that the fair value of the shares decreases below the grant price. In the event of remeasurement, the Company recognizes adjustments to compensation expense equal to the difference between the base price and the fair value of the underlying common stock ratably over the vesting period, generally over four years. Outstanding SARs can be redeemed by the Company at any time or will be redeemed automatically under certain conditions as defined in the SARs plan. The value of the SARs increases 5% per annum from the time that the employee is terminated until the SARs are settled. Interest expense on the outstanding SARs is recorded inshare-based compensation.
| (r) | Share-Based Compensation |
The Company has established the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (2005 Stock Plan). Under the 2005 Stock Plan, the Company’s board of directors may grantstock-based awards, including incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units to employees, officers, directors, consultants and contractors. The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for allstock-based awards made to employees, officers and directors based on the grant date fair value of the awards. Compensation expense is generally recognized on astraight-line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which generally is the vesting period.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using theBlack-Scholes option pricing model. This model incorporates the most recent value of the Company’s common stock as determined by management based in part on an independentthird-party valuation and requires the use of the following estimates and assumptions: expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, which is based on the Company’s peer group in the industry in which it does business; expected life of the option award, which is based on the option lives for comparable companies; expected dividend yield, which is 0%, as the Company had not paid any dividends prior to the November 2011 dividend and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the future; and therisk-free interest rate, which is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with maturities equal to the grant’s expected life. Stock option grants generally vest over four years, with 25% vesting after one year and the remainder vesting monthly thereafter over 36 months. Stock options generally have a contractual term of 10 years.
Stock-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures so that expense is recorded for only thosestock-based awards that are expected to vest. The Company estimates forfeitures based on its historical forfeiture of equity awards adjusted to reflect changes in facts and circumstances, if any. The Company will revise its estimated forfeiture rate if actual forfeitures differ from its initial estimates.

Three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
For restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, the Company estimates the fair value of the award based on the current valuation of the Company, net of an estimated discount for liquidity. The restricted stock units are only settled into shares of common stock upon a liquidity event that occurs within seven years of grant.
For stock options issued to nonemployees, including consultants and contractors, the Company records expense equal to the fair value of the options calculated using theBlack-Scholes model, using the full contractual term of the options, over the service performance period. The fair value of options granted to nonemployees is remeasured on a quarterly basis over the service period, and the resulting value is recognized as an expense over the period the services are rendered.
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method under Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be reversed. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company evaluates the uncertainties of tax positions taken or expected to be taken based on the probability of whether the position taken will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The Company uses a more likely than not threshold for recognition and derecognition of tax positions taken or to be taken in a tax return. Earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are not considered to be reinvested outside of the United States, and accordingly, U.S. federal and state income taxes have been provided for all undistributed earnings net of related foreign tax credits.
| (t) | Foreign Currency Transactions |
The functional currency of the Company’s international subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar, with the exception of the Company’s Luxembourg subsidiary whose functional currency is the euro. For subsidiaries with a functional currency of the U.S. dollar, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates and foreign currency denominated nonmonetary assets and liabilities are remeasured into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. Foreign currency denominated revenue and expenses are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurement are included in other income and expense. For the Luxembourg subsidiary, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the end of a reporting period. Income and expense accounts are translated into U.S. dollar using average rates of exchange. The net gain or loss resulting from translation is recorded as foreign currency translation adjustment and included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity (deficit).

| (u) | Concentrations of Risk |
A majority of the Company’s revenues are received bythird-party payment processing companies. The Company relies primarily on one such vendor to facilitate all credit card transactions. The Company believes other such vendors could be secured if it became necessary. The Company increasingly relies onthird-party providers to directly distribute and serve as the payment platform for its games. During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, 48% and 40% of the Company’s revenues, respectively, were derived from one provider. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, 56% and 41% of the Company’s revenues, respectively, were derived from one provider. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 83% and 87% of accounts receivable, respectively, were due from that same provider.
(3) | Fair Value Measurements |
The Company’s financial instruments consist of SARs and accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts, which approximates fair value due to the short time to expected receipt of cash. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had SARs totaling 995,450 units that are not subject to remeasurement on a recurring basis.
On August 8, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets of iSWIFTER, Inc. (iSwifter) as part of the Company’scloud-based streaming initiative. The acquisition was deemed to be a business combination for accounting purposes and for tax purposes was considered an asset acquisition. The acquired assets include an exclusivethree-year right to the iSwifter technology platform, as well as a perpetual, nonexclusive right to the platform after the exclusive three year license expires. The Company also employed three former engineers of iSwifter and entered into nonsolicitation agreements. Of the $12.5 million purchase price, $5 million was paid upon the signing of the agreement and the remainder in three payments of $2.5 million. The Company paid the required payments due in February 2012, August 2012 and February 2013.
In conjunction with the restructuring plan discussed in note 11,Restructuring, the Company assessed the impairment of intangible assets acquired from iSwifter and determined intangible assets of $6.1 million will no longer be utilized and were impaired. These intangible assets were written down to their fair value of zero. As a result, the Company recorded $6.1 million in charges related to these items during the three and nine months ended September, 2013, which are included in restructuring and impairment charges in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
On April 4, 2012, the Company acquired 100% of the operating assets of Self Aware Games, Inc. (Self Aware Games). As a result of this acquisition, the Company diversified its operations and expanded its customer base. The primary identifiable intangible assets acquired were unpatented game technology and customer relationships of a popular casual casino style game to PC and mobile

devices. The estimated fair value of the intangible assets acquired was determined by management based in part on athird-party valuation. The Company used the excess earnings method to measure the fair value of the customer relationships. The fair value of the existing core technology and trade name was measured based on the relief from royalty method. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements under the fair value hierarchy. Goodwill associated with this transaction is not deductible for income tax purposes. The aggregate purchase price was $26.6 million, which included $13.6 million in cash, and 2,519,999 shares of the Company’s common stock. A portion of the purchase price that was paid in common stock of the Company was based on the net sales of Self Aware Games for the year ended December 31, 2012, and as a result, the Company issued 240,000 shares of common stock during the period ended September 30, 2013.
