1. Nature of Business

Established in the state of Delaware in 1998, Elys Game Technology, Corp (“Elys” or the “Company”), provides gaming services in the U.S. market via Elys Gameboard Technologies, LLC and Bookmakers Company US, LLC (“US Bookmaking”) in certain licensed states where the Company offers bookmaking and platform services to the Company’s customers. The Company’s intention is to focus its attention on expanding its operations in the U.S. market. In this regard, the Company operates in Washington D.C. through a Class B Managed Service Provider and Class B Operator license to operate a sportsbook within the Grand Central Restaurant and Sportsbook located in the Adams Morgan district and the Over Under Sportsbook Rooftop Lounge in Washington, D.C., and in March 2022 the Company began providing platform and bookmaking services at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and through its acquisition of US Bookmaking, the Company also provides sportsbook services to tribal casinos in New Mexico, North Dakota, Colorado and Michigan.

The Company also provides business-to-consumer (“B2C”) gaming services in Italy through its subsidiary, Multigioco, which operations are carried out via both land-based retail or online interactive gaming licenses regulated by the Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (“ADM”) that permits the Company to distribute leisure betting products such as sports betting, and virtual sports betting products through both physical, land-based locations as well as online through the Company’s licensed website www.newgioco.it or commercial webskins linked to the Company’s licensed website and through mobile devices. Management implemented a consolidation strategy in the Italian market by integrating all B2C operations into Multigioco and allowed the Austrian Bookmakers license, that was regulated by the Austrian Federal Finance Ministry (“BMF”), to terminate.

Additionally, the Company provides business-to-business (“B2B”) gaming technology through its Odissea subsidiary which owns and operates a betting software designed with a unique “distributed model” architecture colloquially named Elys Game Board (the “Platform”). The Platform is a fully integrated “omni-channel” framework that combines centralized technology for updating, servicing and operations with multi-channel functionality to accept all forms of customer payment through the two distribution channels described above. The omni-channel software design is fully integrated with a built in player gaming account management system, built-in sports book and a virtual sports platform through its Virtual Generation subsidiary. The Platform also provides seamless integration of application programming interface of third-party supplied products such as online casino, poker, lottery and horse racing and has the capability to incorporate e-sports and daily fantasy sports providers. Management implemented a growth strategy to expand B2B gaming technology operations in the U.S. and is considering further expansion in Canada and Latin American countries in the near future.

The entities included in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:

On January 12, 2023, Elys Technology Group Limited, a previously wholly owned subsidiary, was dissolved and its operations were assumed by Virtual Generation Limited.

The Company operates in two lines of business: (i) the operating of web-based  betting as well as land-based  leisure betting establishments situated throughout Italy and; (ii) provider of certified betting Platform software services to global leisure betting establishments and operators.

The Company’s operations are carried out through the following four geographically organized groups:
