LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(thousands of Euro)
1. Corporate information
Lotterie Nazionali S.r.l. (hereinafter "LN" or "the Company") is a company established in May 2010 and organized under the laws of the Republic of Italy. The head office of the Company is located in Rome, Italy.
The Company's operations are entirely in the Republic of Italy. In the month of August 2010, the Italian Ministry of Economy and Finances granted to LN the exclusive concession to operate various national Traditional and Instant lotteries, including "Scratch and Win" ("S&W") instant games. The concession granted to LN by the Ministry entity Amministrazione Autonoma dei Monopoli di Stato (hereinafter "AAMS") has a nine year duration with respect to Traditional and Instant Lotteries which are available through various vendors located throughout Italy, mainly at tobacco shops, cafès, bars, motorway restaurants and newspaper stands (collectively, "Points of Sale" or "PoS").
The Company's deed of association assigns to all of its shareholders specific roles in the Company's business activities as follows:
- •
- Lottomatica Group S.p.A., directly and indirectly through Scratch & Win Holding S.p.A., (the parent of the Company and formerly Lottomatica S.p.A.): its role includes the design and coordination of the Company's overall operations including management of the marketing and accounting functions, collection of wagers from Points of Sales, administration of periodic drawings, and procurement of software and hardware for Points of Sale;
- •
- Scientific Games International: its role includes design and production of instant lottery tickets;
- •
- Arianna 2001 S.p.A.: its role includes serving as the secure depository and manager of the instant lottery tickets inventory;
- •
- Servizi Base 2001 S.p.A.: its role includes management of the instant lottery ticket distribution to the Points of Sale.
LN's operations were transferred, effective October 1, 2010, from Consorzio Lotterie Nazionali (hereinafter "CLN"), a consortium owned 63% by Lottomatica and former exclusive concessionaire of the Scratch & Win concession from 2004 through September 30, 2010. In particular, on September 30, 2010, CLN, LN and AAMS subscribed an addendum to the new concession agreement aimed at regulating a smooth transition to the new entity's operations and ensuring continuity in the service to be provided by LN during 2010. This addendum required CLN to transfer at book value, effective October 1, 2010, certain assets and liabilities as of August 31, 2010 to LN based on the provision of a third separate contract (also signed on September 30, 2010). Based on the accounts and balances transferred at such date, the parties determined the transfer price to be zero (i.e., total assets equaled total liabilities), but agreed to potentially adjust the transfer price before December 31, 2010 based on the results of a third party analysis and valuation (i.e., appraisal) finally conducted throughout the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. The final appraisal validated the net worth valuation criteria initially adopted (i.e., measuring at book value the assets and liabilities to be transferred) by confirming a transfer price of zero.
The rationale for the zero transfer price resulted from the fact that such transfer was exclusively driven by regulatory and government tax requirements and was also intended to protect Italian lottery consumers' interests by ensuring continuity in the service. This transfer was, in other words, considered a mandatory (i.e., necessary) action aimed at both regulating the transition to the new concessionaire's

1. Corporate information (Continued)
operations and satisfying the new concession's requirements and was not intended to represent a regular or recurring transfer (i.e., sale) responding to market conditions.
As a result of such transfer, LN has been effectively operating the same business previously operated by CLN (as both entities have substantially the same equity owners, management team and assets/liabilities) from October 2010, but under a new legal structure.
2.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below for certain derivative financial instruments which are measured at fair value. The financial statements are presented in thousands of Euro unless otherwise indicated.
The financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and for the year then ended were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution dated February 23, 2012.
Statement of Compliance
The financial statements of LN have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
2.2 Changes in accounting policy
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as follows.
The Company has adopted the following new and amended IFRS and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") interpretations during the year effective as of January 1, 2011. Adoption of these new and amended standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company.
- •
- IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (amendment);
- •
- IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (amendment);
- •
- IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (amendment);
- •
- Improvements to IFRSs (May 2010).
The principal effects of these changes are as follows:
IAS 24 Related Party Transactions (Amendment)
The IASB issued an amendment to IAS 24 that clarifies the definitions of a related party. The new definitions emphasise a symmetrical view of related party relationships and clarifies the circumstances in which persons and key management personnel affect related party relationships of an entity. In addition, the amendment introduces an exemption from the general related party disclosure requirements for transactions with government and entities that are controlled, jointly controlled or
F-7

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(thousands of Euro)
2.2 Changes in accounting policy (Continued)
significantly influenced by the same government as the reporting entity. The adoption of this amendment had no impact on the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company.
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (Amendment)
The IASB issued an amendment that alters the definition of a financial liability in IAS 32 to enable entities to classify rights issues and certain options or warrants as equity instruments. The amendment is applicable if the rights are given pro rata to all of the existing owners of the same class of an entity's non-derivative equity instruments, to acquire a fixed number of the entity's own equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency. The Company has concluded that the adoption of this amendment had no impact on its financial position, performance or cash flows, as LN does not have these type of instruments.
IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement (Amendment)
The amendment removes an unintended consequence when an entity is subject to minimum funding requirements and makes an early payment of contributions to cover such requirements. The amendment permits a prepayment of future service cost by the entity to be recognized as a pension asset. The Company is not subject to minimum funding requirements in Euroland, therefore the amendment of the interpretation had no effect on the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company.
Improvements to IFRSs
In May 2010, the IASB issued its third omnibus of amendments to its standards, primarily with a view to removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. There are separate transitional provisions for each standard. The amendments made can result in accounting changes for presentation, recognition and measurement. The adoption of such amendments resulted in changes to accounting policies but had no effect on the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company.
- •
- IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Measurement of non-controlling interest (NCI)). Specifies that the option to measure NCIs either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's net identifiable assets at the acquisition date under IFRS 3(2008) applies only to NCIs that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the acquiree's net assets in the event of liquidation. All other components of NCIs should be measured at their acquisition date fair value, unless another measurement basis is required by IFRSs.
- •
- IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Contingent consideration arising from business combination prior to adoption of IFRS 3 (as revised in 2008)). Clarifies that IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures do not apply to contingent consideration that arose from business combinations whose acquisition dates preceded the application of IFRS 3(2008).
- •
- IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Un-replaced and voluntarily replaced share-based payment awards). Specifies that the current requirement to measure awards of the acquirer that replace acquiree share-based payment transactions in accordance with IFRS 2 at the acquisition date ('market-based measure') applies also to share-based payment transactions of the acquiree that are not

2.3 International Financial Reporting Standards to be adopted in 2012 and later
The IASB and IFRIC issued additional standards and interpretations which are effective for periods starting after the date of these financial statements and therefore have yet to be adopted by LN as described below.
IAS 1 Financial Statement Presentation—Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012. It changes the grouping of items presented in OCI. Items that could be reclassified (or 'recycled') to profit or loss at a future point in time (for example, upon derecognition or settlement) would be presented separately from items that will never be reclassified. The amendment affects presentation only, as such it is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company.

2.3 International Financial Reporting Standards to be adopted in 2012 and later (Continued)
IAS 12 Income Taxes—Deferred tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets (Amendment)
The amendment, issued on December 20, 2010, is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012. It provides an exception to the general principles of IAS 12 for investment property measured using the fair value model in IAS 40, Investment Property. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company.
IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Amendment)
The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.The IASB has issued numerous amendments to IAS 19. These range from fundamental changes such as removing the corridor mechanism and the concept of expected returns on plan assets to simple clarifications and re-wording. The adoption of this amendment is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company.
IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (as revised in 2011)
The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As a consequence of the new IFRS 10 and IFRS 12, what remains of IAS 27 is limited to accounting for subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities, and associates in separate financial statements. The adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company.
IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (as revised in 2011)
The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As a consequence of the new IFRS 11 and IFRS 12. IAS 28 has been renamed IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. The Company does not have investments in associates and joint ventures, as such the adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company.
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures—Enhanced Derecognition Disclosure Requirements
The amendment becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011. It requires additional disclosure about financial assets that have been transferred but not derecognised to enable the user of the financial statements to understand the relationship with those assets that have not been derecognised and their associated liabilities. In addition, the amendment requires disclosures about continuing involvement in derecognised assets to enable the user to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, the entity's continuing involvement in those derecognised assets. The amendment affects disclosure only, as such it is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company.

2.3 International Financial Reporting Standards to be adopted in 2012 and later (Continued)
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement
IFRS 9 as issued reflects the first phase of the IASBs work on the replacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in IAS 39. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. In subsequent phases, the IASB will address hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. The completion of this project is expected over the course of 2011 or the first half of 2012. The adoption of the first phase of IFRS 9 is not expected to have an effect on the classification and measurement of the Company's financial assets and liabilities. The Company will quantify the effect in conjunction with the other phases, when issued, to present a comprehensive picture.
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements. It also includes the issues raised in SIC-12 Consolidation—Special Purpose Entities. IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgement to determine which entities are controlled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by a parent, compared with the requirements that were in IAS 27. The Company does not present consolidated financial statements, as such the adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company.
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities—Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture must be accounted for using the equity method. The Company does not have JCEs, as such the adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company.
IFRS 12 Disclosure of Involvement with Other Entities
This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously in IAS 27 related to consolidated financial statements, as well as all of the disclosures that were previously included in IAS 31 and IAS 28. These disclosures relate to an entity's interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structured entities. A number of new disclosures are also required. The adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company
IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not

2.3 International Financial Reporting Standards to be adopted in 2012 and later (Continued)
change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to impact the financial position, performance or cash flows of the Company.
2.4 Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future.
Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the statement of financial position date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Deferred Tax Assets
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies.
2.5 Summary of significant accounting policies
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency spot rate at the date the transaction first qualifies for recognition. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange at the reporting date. All differences are taken to profit or loss.
Non monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.
Equipment, net
Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and/or impairment losses.. Cost includes ancillary costs directly attributable to bringing the asset into operating condition. Depreciation is calculated on straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets as follows:
| | |
Terminals and communication equipment | | 5 to 7 years |
Machinery and equipment | | 4 years |
Furniture and fittings | | 8 to 9 years |

2.5 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
The carrying values of systems and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable.
All repairs and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
A unit of equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
Intangible assets, net
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| | |
Software | | 3 years |
Licenses | | 3 years |
S&W Concession | | 9 years |
Others | | 2 to 5 years |
The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least annually at year-end. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense for intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the income statement within the caption "Depreciation, amortization and write-downs".
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.
Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash-generating unit's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows take into account the risks specific to the asset and are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
F-13
LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(thousands of Euro)
2.5 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase is a reversal of an impairment loss. The increased carrying amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the asset's revised carrying amount, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a specific identification basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Financial assets
Financial assets within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. The Company only has financial assets classified as loans and receivables and fair value through profit and loss. When financial assets are recognized initially on the trade date, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not recognized at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
The Company determines the classification of its financial assets on initial recognition.
Trade receivables and other receivables
Trade accounts receivable are subsequently measured at amortized cost less impairment. Impairment provisions or allowances for doubtful accounts are generally recorded when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect the related receivables. Bad debts are written off when identified.
Short-term receivables are not discounted because the effect of discounting cash flows is immaterial.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet are comprised of cash at banks and on hand and short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.

Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities at amortized cost
All loans and borrowings and trade accounts payable are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Short-term payables are not discounted because the effect of discounting cash flows is immaterial.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in profit or loss.
Derivative financial instruments and hedging
The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risks associated with foreign currency related to the purchase of lottery tickets. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is in a gain position and as financial liabilities when the fair value is in a loss position.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives are taken directly to the income statement, except for the effective portion of cash flow hedges which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The fair value of such foreign currency forward contracts is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles.
For the purpose of hedge accounting, the Company's derivatives are classified as cash flow hedges, when hedging exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognized firm commitment. At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument's fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item's fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.

LOTTERIE NAZIONALI S.r.l.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(thousands of Euro)
2.5 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Derivatives which meet the strict criteria for cash flow hedge accounting are accounted for as follows. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly as other comprehensive income in the net unrealized gain/(loss) reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Amounts recognized as other comprehensive income are transferred to profit or loss when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, such as when the forecast transaction occurs. Where the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability, the amounts recognized as other comprehensive income are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability. If the forecast transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in equity is transferred to the income statement. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its designation as a hedge is revoked, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income remains in other comprehensive income until the forecast transaction or firm commitment affects income or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets
A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:
- •
- the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
- •
- the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass through' arrangement; or
- •
- the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.
Financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Whenever the Company expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2.5 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a borrowing cost.
Revenue recognition
Revenues are recognized to the extent that it is probable the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts and taxes. Specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized as discussed below.
The Company's revenues derive from operating contracts. Under operating contracts, the Company manages all of the activities along the lottery value chain including collecting wagers, paying out prizes, managing all accounting and other back-office functions, running advertising and promotions, operating data transmission networks and processing centers, training staff, providing retailers with assistance and supplying materials for the game. The operating contracts generally provide for a variable amount of monthly service fees received through AAMS based on a percentage of instant and traditional lottery's total wagers. Fees earned under operating contracts are recognized as revenue in the period earned and are classified as Service Revenue in the statement of comprehensive income when all of the following criteria are met:
- •
- Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, which is typically when a customer contract has been signed;
- •
- Services have been rendered;
- •
- The fee is deemed to be fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties; and
- •
- Collectability is reasonably assured.
Interest income and interest expense
Interest income and interest expense are recognized as interest accrues (using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments through the expected life of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial assets or liabilities).
Income taxes
Current income tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

2.5 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the statement of financial position date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each statement of financial position date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date.
Income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive income.

Equipment, net include "Freely distributed assets" ("FDA"), which are defined as those tangible assets originally determined to be transferred free of charge to the Ministry of Finance at the expiration of the concession agreement.

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
- •
- Trade and other receivables, current financial assets from parent, other current assets, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, current financial liabilities to parent and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
- •
- The Company executed foreign currency forward contracts with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. The fair value of these contracts was calculated principally by reference to forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The valuation techniques incorporated various inputs including the credit quality of the counterparty in a net liability position.

Fair value hierarchy
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
| | |
Level 1: | | quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
Level 2: | | other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly |
Level 3: | | techniques which use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data. |
At December 31, 2011, all of the Company's financial instruments were valued utilizing Level 2 fair value measurements. During the reporting period ended December 31, 2011, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

With respect to credit risk arising from financial assets of the Company, the Company's exposure arises only from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these balances. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk by dealing with major, financially sound counterparties with high-grade credit ratings and by limiting exposure to any one counterparty.

Liquidity risk
The Company's objective in managing liquidity risk is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of cash generated by operating activities. The Company participates in a cash pooling agreement with the parent company, Lottomatica Group S.p.A., pursuant to which the Company's fund are swept daily into various cash pools managed by Lottomatica Group S.p.A.. We believe our ability to generate excess cash from operations to reinvest in our business is one of our fundamental financial strengths, and combined with our business cash generating capacity, we expect to meet our financial obligations and operating needs in the foreseeable future. We expect to use cash generated primarily from operating activities to meet contractual obligations and pay dividend.
The Company does not have any remaining financial liabilities, including derivatives, with maturity dates that exceed 12 months. As such, the contractual maturity dates of the Company's remaining financial liabilities are all within one year.
The Company, since entering into the cash pooling agreement discussed above, did not enter into any lines of credit or other borrowing arrangements with banks.
Market risk
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
As a result of transactions relating to tickets purchased from the US equity holder Scientific Games Int. and from the related party GTech Printing Corp., our financial statements can be affected by movements in the USD/EUR exchange rates. The primary risk inherent in our financial instruments is the market risk arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In order to mitigate such risk the Company decided to apply an hedging strategy, by subscribing foreign currency forward contracts. Such contracts have been designated as qualifying for hedge accounting treatment (i.e., changes in fair value are reflected in other comprehensive income/loss in the statement of comprehensive income each period).

2011 | | | +10 | % | | 320 | | | 216 | |

The cumulative amount of cash flow hedge reserve amounts to 2.1 million at December 31, 2011 (Nil at December 31, 2010). The hedged cash flows are expected to occur monthly between January 2012 and October 2013 and will impact profit or loss at such time.
Interest rate risk
The Company does not have financing arrangements with banks since its short-term borrowing requirements are provided by Lottomatica Group S.p.A. through the cash pooling agreement previously discussed. The interest rate for the cash pooling agreement is set on a quarterly basis. The interest rate on the cash account for the remittances to AAMS is set at market rates. Consequently, changes in market interest rates would not have a significant effect on the Company's net income and net equity.
