Note 1 – Organization and Business of Companies

Iao Kun Group Holding Company Limited (formerly Asia Entertainment & Resources Ltd. and formerly CS China Acquisition Corp.) ("Iao Kun" or the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 24, 2007 as a blank check company whose objective was to acquire, through a share exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination, an operating business, or control of such operating business through contractual arrangements, that has its principal operations located in People’s Republic of China (“PRC”, “China”). On September 30, 2013, the Company changed its name from Asia Entertainment & Resources Ltd (“AERL”). The decision to change the name of the Company was to enhance the Company’s brand image in Macau.

On October 6, 2009, Iao Kun entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, subsequently amended on November 10, 2009, December 9, 2009, January 11, 2010 and April 18, 2011 (the “Agreement”), with Asia Gaming & Resort Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “AGRL”) and Spring Fortune Investments Ltd. (“Spring Fortune”) that provided for the acquisition by Iao Kun from Spring Fortune of all of the outstanding capital stock of AGRL. On February 2, 2010, the acquisition was consummated pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, and AGRL became a wholly owned subsidiary of Iao Kun.

Upon the closing of the acquisition of AGRL by Iao Kun, the Promoter Companies (defined below) became variable interest entities (‘‘VIEs’’) of the subsidiaries of AGRL, which are the primary beneficiaries of the operations of the Promotion Entities (defined below) through the profit interest agreements which were entered into on February 2, 2010 and agreements subsequent to that date.

Currently, Macau laws do not allow corporate entities, such as Iao Kun, to directly operate a gaming promotion business in Macau. Consequently, Iao Kun’s gaming promotion business is operated through a series of contractual arrangements, including profit interest agreements that enable the AGRL subsidiaries to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of the Promoter Companies, Collaborator and Junket Operator (collectively “Promotion Entities”) and for AGRL to exercise effective control over the Promotion Entities.

IKGH has fifteen wholly owned subsidiaries that were incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, listed in the table below.

Subsidiaries		Date of Incorporation
Foxhill Group Limited ( Foxhill ) *		February 15, 2007

** These are the Promoter company in Macau

*** According to Macau laws, a collaborator needs to enter into an agreement with a licensed gaming promoter and register with the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau of the Macau SAR.

**** On May 15, 2015, the Company entered into agreements to acquire all of the profit interests of Mr. Lou Kan Kuong (“Mr. Lou” or the “Crown Australia Junket Operator”) promotion activities at the Crown Perth Casino in Perth, Australia and at the Crown Melbourne Casino in Melbourne, Australia with the consideration of $200 in total. Mr. Lou, who is currently an officer of IKGH, entered into agreements to act as a junket operator for the above two Casinos on June 24, 2013. The profit interests were acquired as an asset purchase for the historical costs of establishing the agreements between Mr. Lou and Australian Casinos as a related party transaction. The Company entered into the agreement to expand to overseas markets for its existing agent network in Macau.

Management’s determination of the appropriate accounting method with respect to the AGRL VIEs is based on Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (“Topic 810”). AGRL consolidates the VIEs because the equity investors in the Promotion Entities do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and Iao Kun through AGRL is the primary beneficiary.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 810, the operations of the Promotion Entities are consolidated with those of Iao Kun for all periods subsequent to the closing of the acquisition of AGRL by Iao Kun.

The operations of AGRL's Promotion Entities are primarily based in Macau, and are subject to Macau jurisdiction. The Company operates a gaming promotion business in VIP gaming rooms located in hotels and casinos in Macau and Australia. Iao Kun, its subsidiaries (including AGRL) and the Promotion Entities are collectively referred to as the "Group".

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2015 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made that are necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of its operations and cash flows. Operating results as presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed on April 14, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Principles of Consolidation

The operations of the Promotion Entities are consolidated with those of AGRL and its wholly owned subsidiaries and Iao Kun as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated. Unless otherwise indicated all currency amounts are in United States Dollars.

Fiscal Year End

The fiscal year end of the Company is December 31.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the management and on various other assumptions that the management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company has made significant estimates of the contingent purchase price due for the King's Gaming, Bao Li Gaming and the Oriental VIP Room acquisitions, goodwill and other intangible assets in these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could vary from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from VIP gaming room promotion operations in Macau is recorded monthly based upon the Promotion Entities’ share of the net gaming wins/losses in VIP gaming rooms. The amounts due to the Promotion Entities are calculated and reported by the casino operators and the Promotion Entities on a monthly basis, usually within two days of the month end. Revenue from VIP operations in Australia is based upon a fixed commission as a percentage of rolling chip turnover.

Additionally, the Promotion Entities in Macau earn revenues based upon percentages of non-negotiable chips exchanged in the VIP gaming rooms (typically 0.05%), which is available to offset costs incurred for accommodations, food and beverage and other services furnished to players and is included in gross revenues. These revenues are included in revenue from VIP gaming room promotion operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Beginning on September 1, 2012, the Company changed its remuneration model from a fixed commission model of 1.25% of the rolling chip turnover to a revenue sharing model in Macau. The decision to change from the fixed commission model to the revenue sharing model was made as a result of the Company’s expansion into four VIP gaming rooms with the ability to spread the risk of fluctuations surrounding gaming wins and losses. Additionally, management has initiated a program for junket agents who purchase non-negotiable chips in cash from the Promotion Entities in Macau (“super agent”), allowing the super agent to assume some of the risk of gaming losses or receive increased commissions as a result of gaming wins.

VIP Gaming Room Cage and Marker Accounting

In the VIP gaming rooms, VIP gaming patrons primarily purchase non-negotiable chips from the cage either with cash, cash chips, cashier’s order, or markers (short term, non-interest bearing loans). Non-negotiable chips can only be used to make wagers. Winning wagers are paid in cash chips. If the VIP gaming patrons continue to play, they must exchange the cash chips for non-negotiable chips, which is the basis for commission. The exchange of the non-negotiable chips by the VIP gaming patrons in the VIP gaming room is recorded as rolling chip turnover and provides a basis for measuring VIP gaming room win percentage. It is customary in Macau to measure VIP gaming room play using this rolling chip method.

A VIP gaming patron can be a player, a junket agent or a super agent. Whoever signs on the marker and takes delivery of the non-negotiable chips at the casino cage and carries them over to the game table is the borrower. It is also common practice that the VIP gaming patron taking delivery of the non-negotiable chips shares the chips with other VIP gaming patrons for the purpose of achieving a higher rolling volume (if the VIP gaming patron is a junket agent, they are entitled to receive commission even when the non-negotiable chips are wagered by third parties acquainted with them) without receiving immediate payment in cash for the non-negotiable chips. Under Macau law, licensed gaming promoters are permitted to extend credit to VIP gaming patrons creating a civil obligation to pay.

The Group, through the Promotion Entities, extends credit to junket agents. A majority of the Group’s consolidated markers receivable are owed by junket agents from Macau and the rest are primarily in mainland China. In addition to enforceability issues, the collectability of markers receivable from foreign junket agents is affected by a number of factors including changes in economic conditions in the junket agents’ home countries.

The Group may not be able to collect all of their markers receivable from the junket agents. Management expects that the Group will be able to enforce these obligations only in a limited number of jurisdictions, including Macau and Hong Kong. To the extent that junket agents of the Group, through the Promotion Entities, are from other jurisdictions, the Group may not have access to a forum in which they will be able to collect all of their markers receivable because, among other reasons, courts of many jurisdictions do not enforce gaming debts and the Group may encounter forums that will refuse to enforce such debts. The Group’s inability to collect gaming debts could have a significant negative impact on their operating results.

The Group regularly evaluates the allowance for uncollectible marker receivable based on a specific review of junket agent accounts as well as management’s prior experience with collection trends in the casino industry and current economic and business conditions. Messrs. Lam and Vong guaranteed all markers receivable in the Company’s VIP gaming rooms until June 25, 2014, upon the execution of a termination agreement for the guarantees and loan agreements. The guarantees by Messrs. Lam and Vong did not cover markers receivable attributable to the junket agent networks of Mr. Mok, Mr. Lou and Mr. Lei or Mr. Vong Veng Im as described below. The guarantee of Messrs. Lam and Vong allowed for offset against the loans provided by them for the working capital. Upon the acquisition of King’s Gaming, Mr. Mok has guaranteed the collection of all markers receivable attributable to Mr. Mok and his network of junket agents at both King’s Gaming’s existing VIP gaming room and the Company’s existing and future VIP gaming rooms for as long as he is employed by the Company. Upon the acquisition of Bao Li Gaming, Mr. Lou and Mr. Lei guaranteed the collection of all markers receivable attributable to them and their network of junket agents at both Bao Li Gaming’s existing VIP gaming room and the Company’s existing and future VIP gaming rooms through December 31, 2015. Upon the acquisition of the Oriental VIP room, Mr. Vong Veng Im guaranteed the collection of all markers receivable attributable to the Collaborator and his network of junket agents at both the Oriental VIP Room existing and the Company’s existing and future VIP gaming rooms through June 30, 2016. Upon the acquisition of the profit interest of the Crown Australia Junket Operator, Mr. Lou Kan Kuong guaranteed the collection of all markers receivable attributable to the Crown Australia operation and his network of junket agents at Crown Australia, Melbourne and Perth. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, management believes that an allowance for uncollectible markers receivable is not necessary.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 —		Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these assets and liabilities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 —		Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.

Level 3 —

Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

For certain of the Group's financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, markers receivable, certain other current assets, lines of credit payable, accrued expenses, and loan payable to shareholders, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The payables-King’s Gaming, Bao Li Gaming and Oriental VIP Room acquisitions were initially recognized for the fair values of the acquisition contingent consideration and are adjusted to the fair value at each subsequent reporting date (see Note 8, Note 9 and Note 10).

At least annually, management determines if the current valuation techniques used in the fair value measurements are still appropriate and evaluates and adjusts the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements based on current market conditions and other information. There were no changes in the valuation techniques during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s contingent consideration for the Bao Li Gaming and Oriental VIP Room acquisitions are the forecasted performance results of the operations of Bao Li Gaming and Oriental VIP Room and the simulated share prices of the Company’s Ordinary Shares under the Monte Carlo method. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, cash chips, non-negotiable chips and short-term investments with original maturities of less than 90 days. Cash equivalents are placed with high credit quality financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivable are principally comprised of net gaming revenues, fees and incentives revenues receivable, which do not bear interest and are recorded at amounts due from the casino operators.

When deemed necessary, the Group records an allowance for doubtful accounts which represents management’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Group’s existing accounts receivable. Management believes that all outstanding balances are collectible and therefore an allowance has not been established. Although management believes that no allowance is currently necessary, it is possible that the estimated amount of cash collections with respect to accounts receivable could change.

Earnings Per Share

Basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The calculations of earnings per share are computed as follows for the three and six months ended June 30:

The Oriental VIP Room met its rolling chip turnover target in 2014 and 1,250,000 Ordinary Shares were issued during the fourth quarter of 2014. The Oriental VIP Room met its base rolling chip turnover target in 2015 and also earned an additional 93,750 Ordinary Shares under the incremental earnout clause as of June 30, 2015; therefore, 718,750 Ordinary Shares were issued during the third quarter of 2015. The issuable Ordinary Shares have been included in basic and diluted earnings per share based on the weighted average shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015.

In 2011, the Company decided that a portion of the Directors fees and officers remuneration would be paid in Ordinary Shares. The shares are to be issued in January of each year. A total of 60,790 Ordinary Shares were issued during the third quarter of 2014 to satisfy the Company’s obligations for 2013 and have been included in basic and diluted earnings per share based on the weighted average shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. A total of 111,730 Ordinary Shares are expected to be issued during the third quarter of 2015 to satisfy the Company’s obligations for 2014 and have been included in basic and diluted earnings per share based on the weighted average shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. A liability of approximately $309,000 and $209,000 is included in accrued expenses at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two to five years, which do not exceed the lease term for leasehold improvements, if applicable.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The Company amortizes intangible assets over their estimated useful lives unless it is determined their lives to be indefinite. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are subject to tests for impairment at least annually. Management performs impairment tests more frequently than annually if events or circumstances indicate that the value of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives might be impaired.

The following are the useful lives of the respective finite-lived intangible assets:

Bad Debt Guarantee	3 to 5.5 years	Based upon six months after the expiration of the employment agreement or at the expiration of the employment agreement

Non-Compete agreement	9 to 11.7 years	Based upon the termination date of the casino's license or June 2022

Profit interest agreement	9 to 11.7 years	Based upon the termination date of the casino's license or June 2022

Indefinite Useful Life Assets

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company performs impairment testing for goodwill at least annually unless indicators of impairment exist in interim periods. The Company performs its annual test of goodwill on December 31 each year.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Goodwill impairment testing follows the two-step approach as defined in FASB ASC Topic 350, which is performed at the entity level as the Company has one reporting unit, which is gaming promotion business mainly located in Macau. The first step (“Step 1”) compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss to be recognized. In the second step (“Step 2”), the fair value of the reporting unit resulting from the first step of the evaluation is allocated to the fair value of all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit in order to determine an implied goodwill value. This allocation is similar to the purchase price allocation performed in purchase accounting. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, the excess of the carrying value is required to be recorded as an impairment loss. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying value of goodwill.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of long-lived assets to be held and used might not be recoverable, the expected future undiscounted cash flows from the assets are estimated and compared with the carrying amount of the assets. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows was less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss would be recorded. The impairment loss would be measured on a location by location basis by comparing the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. Long-lived assets that are held for disposal are reported at the lower of the assets’ carrying amount or fair value less costs related to the assets’ disposition.

Advertising Costs

Costs for advertising and marketing are expensed the first time the advertising or marketing takes place or as incurred. Advertising and marketing costs for ongoing operations are included in selling, general and administrative expense. During the three month period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Group incurred advertising costs $50,760 and $229,676, respectively. During the six month period ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Group incurred advertising costs $205,372 and $547,638, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company awards stock and other equity-based instruments to its employees, directors and consultants (collectively "share-based payments"). Compensation cost related to such awards is recorded when earned. Ordinary Shares are issued to the directors subsequent to year end based on the average trading price prior to December 31 each year. All of the Company's stock-based compensation is based on grants of equity instruments and no liability awards have been granted. All of the Company directors presently receive $20,000 payable in Ordinary Shares, valued at the average of the closing prices of the Ordinary Shares over the three-month period preceding the end of each fiscal year.

In December 2011, the shareholders approved the 2011 Omnibus Securities and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to assist the Company in attracting, retaining and providing incentives to key management employees and nonemployee directors of, and nonemployee consultants to the Company and its affiliates, and to align the interests of such employees, nonemployee directors and nonemployee consultants with those of the Company’s shareholders. The Plan provides for the granting of Distribution Equivalent Rights, Incentive Share Options, Non-Qualified Share Options, Performance Share Awards, Performance Unit Awards, Restricted Share Awards, Restricted Share Unit Awards, Share Appreciation Rights, Tandem Share Appreciation Rights, Unrestricted Share Awards or any combination of the foregoing up to a maximum of 200,000 Ordinary Shares, as may be best suited to the circumstances of the particular Employee, Director or Consultant. On July 17, 2014, 60,790 Ordinary Shares were issued for year 2013 compensation. 111,730 Ordinary Shares are to be issued for the equity portion of year 2014 compensation upon approval by the Company’s shareholders at a shareholders meeting for a revised Plan and approval from the Board of Directors.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company concluded there was indicator of potential goodwill impairment due to the impact of the significant decline in the Macau VIP gaming promotion business. As a result of identifying indicator of impairment, the Company performed an impairment test of goodwill as of June 30, 2015.

In performing Step 1 of the impairment test, the Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using a combination of the income approach and market-based valuation methodologies with greater emphasis placed on the income approach, for purpose of estimating the total enterprise value for the Company.

Under the income approach which is based on probability-weighted discounted cash flow (“DCF”) technique, forecasted net cash flow (“NCF”) of the business was developed and then discounted to the present value at a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved in the ultimate realization of those returns. This income approach employs the following key projection estimates: (i) rolling chip turnover (“RCT”) and/or expected growth rates in RCT; (ii) win rates; (iii) operating costs and operating profit; (iv) NCF; (v) the expiration date of the concession and sub-concession agreements for the right to operate casinos in Macau; and (vi) the determination of an appropriate discount rate (i.e., a rate of return) based on the reporting unit's deemed weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). The WACC considers observable market rates and yields and comparable company return data. As the name implies, probability-weighted DCF analysis involves the development of several forecasted NCF scenarios that are then probability-weighted to yield an overall indication of reporting unit value. Assumptions used in DCF analysis give consideration to historical financial and operating data, various internal estimates, and economic and market data as derived from a variety of external sources. These estimates are developed as part of the Company’s routine short-term management procedures and long-range strategic planning process. In addition, the Company tested the reasonableness of the assumption inputs and outcomes of its DCF analysis against available comparable market data.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Under the market approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is derived by reference to the Company’s market capitalization at the valuation date.

The Step 1 analysis indicated that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, requiring the Company to perform Step 2 to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.

Under Step 2, the fair value of all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities were estimated for the purpose of deriving an estimate of the implied fair value of goodwill. This test resulted in a non-cash, goodwill impairment charge of $17,754,136, which was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is highly judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The Company’s fair value estimates for purposes of determining the goodwill impairment charge are considered Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company based its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results related to assumed variables could differ from these estimates.

Additionally, Mr. Mok has agreed to provide a personal guaranty, for so long as he is employed by the Company or King’s Gaming providing for the guaranty of all obligations of King’s Gaming and the Seller pursuant to the King’s Gaming Purchase Agreement, including, but not limited to any bad debts the Seller network of junket agents may have incurred or may incur in the future.

As of November 10, 2010, the total estimated purchase price of $75,973,890, consisting of $9 million in cash, 1.5 million Ordinary Shares valued at $10.74 per share for a value of $16,110,000, and estimated contingent consideration of $50,863,890 consisting of contingent cash and Ordinary Shares, was allocated based on valuations performed to determine the fair values of the acquired assets, as follows:

Profit interest agreement		59,694,600

Total Estimated Purchase Price	$	75,973,890

In accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 805 on business combinations, a liability of $50,857,564 was recognized for the estimated acquisition fair value of the contingent consideration based on the probability of the achievement of the Gross Profit targets at December 31, 2010. Any change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, such as changes in the Group’s estimate of the gross profit expected to be achieved, will be recognized in earnings in the period that estimated fair value changes. The fair value estimate assumes probability-weighted gross profits are achieved over the earn-out period. A change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration could have a material impact on the Group’s statement of operations and financial position in the period of change in estimate. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not recognize any gains or losses due to the change in the fair value of the contingent consideration utilizing Level 3 fair value measurements as King’s Gaming is not expected to meet the Gross Profit Target and no Ordinary Shares are expected to be issued. Fluctuations in the market value of the Company's Ordinary Shares and subsequent performance will cause the fair value to increase or decrease and the resulting change will be recognized in earnings.

Management has considered the factors that make up the goodwill recognized in the transaction including the reputation of the VIP gaming room and its former location at the Venetian Hotel and Casino on Cotai in Macau (now located at the Sands Cotai Central Casino). Additional factors include the synergies between the operations of King's Gaming and the operations of Sang Heng, Sang Lung, Bao Li and Oriental VIP Room, including the expanded network of junket agents and the ability to offer higher tier VIP players the opportunity to play at either a high end luxury Cotai location or a high end luxury downtown Macau location. These factors do not qualify for separate recognition in the overall purchase price allocation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management has considered the factors that make up the goodwill recognized in the transaction including the reputation of the VIP gaming room and its location at the Le Royal Arc Casino in Macau. Additional factors include the synergies between the operations of the Oriental VIP Room and the operations of Sang Heng, Sang Lung, Bao Li Gaming and King’s Gaming, including the expanded network of junket agents and the ability to offer higher tier players the opportunity to play at another high end luxury downtown Macau location or a high end luxury Cotai location. These factors do not qualify for separate recognition in the overall purchase price allocation.

Management determined that the acquisition of the operations of Oriental VIP Room at the Le Royal Arc Casino in Macau would allow the Company to expand its operations in downtown Macau and appeal to a wider number of players. Prior to the acquisition, the Company's had only one VIP gaming room in downtown Macau. Additionally, the acquisition of the operations of Oriental VIP Room brought an additional network of junket agents and collaborators that may increase revenues at the Company's Macau VIP rooms.

The following is a summary of the current and long term portions of the estimated contingent consideration expected to be paid for the acquisition of the Oriental VIP Room:

Ordinary Shares

Iao Kun is authorized to issue 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares, par value $.0001. The authorized Ordinary Shares was increased from 200,000,000 to 500,000,000 as a result of a shareholder vote on September 24, 2013. The following summarizes the Ordinary Shares issued relating to achieving earnings targets or rolling chip turnover targets in association with the Company’s acquisitions of Kings’ Gaming, Bao Li Gaming and Oriental VIP room.

Dividend

The Board of Directors has authorized a regular cash dividend each year after the release of the Company’s financial results for the six months ending June 30 (the “Six Month Dividend”), an amount per outstanding ordinary share to: (i) 15% of the Company’s non-GAAP net income (defined as operating income before amortization of intangible assets and change in fair value of contingent consideration) for the most recently completed six months ended June 30, divided by (ii) the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding on the record date for such dividend; and, an annual dividend each year after the release of the Company’s annual financial results (the “Annual Dividend”), equates to an amount per outstanding ordinary share equal to (i) 15% of the Company’s non-GAAP net income for the most recently completed fiscal year, less the amount paid pursuant to the immediately previous six-month dividend, divided by (ii) the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding on the record date for such dividend. For the Six Month Dividend payable for 2014, this is equal to a dividend of approximately $0.026 per share, which was paid on October 14, 2014.

Gaming Table Rentals

Starting from August 1, 2013, the Company paid a monthly rental of approximately $425,000 for six gaming tables in its Oriental VIP Room in order to have a greater percentage of revenue sharing. Beginning in January 2015, the Company reduced the gaming tables from six to four gaming tables in its Oriental VIP Room and the monthly rental was reduced to approximately $309,000, which was further reduced to $284,000 in May 2015 and $258,000 beginning in June 2015. Rental expense charged to operations for gaming table rentals was $851,185 and $1,276,974 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively; $1,779,750 and $2,552,895 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Revenue Sharing

Beginning in September 2012, the Company has adopted a new program to allow certain cash basis junket agents (non-marker) to share in the risk of wins and losses in the VIP gaming rooms. The maximum percentage of sharing that the junket agent may elect to share in the risk of wins and losses is limited to their percentage of rolling chip turnover during the previous month. The junket agent must make its election by the second day of the subsequent month and may elect from zero percent to the maximum percent. A total of approximately $802,000 was recorded as additional commission expense in July 2015 for participating junket agents based on June 2015 rolling chip turnover. Due to fluctuations in wins and losses as well as the agents’ participation, levels, the total amount of revenues and losses shared as well as their percentage of rolling chip turnover may fluctuate significantly.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

The Group’s operations in Macau are dependent on the annual renewal of the gaming licenses by the Macau SAR to the Promoter Companies and the registration of the Collaborator by the licensed gaming promoter. The tenure of the Promotion Entities acting as gaming promoters and collaborator for the Casinos is subject to the Gaming Representative / Gaming Promoter Arrangements and Collaborator Agreement.

The Group may not be able to collect all of their markers receivable from the junket agents. Management expects that the Group will be able to enforce these obligations only in a limited number of jurisdictions, including Macau. To the extent that junket agents of the Group, through the Promotion Entities, are from other jurisdictions, the Group may not have access to a forum in which they will be able to collect all of their markers receivable because, among other reasons, courts of many jurisdictions do not enforce gaming debts and the Group may encounter forums that will refuse to enforce such debts. The Group’s inability to collect gaming debts could have a significant negative impact on their operating results.

The Group receives all of their revenue from casino operators within the Asia-Pacific Region. If economic conditions in these areas were to decline materially or additional casino licenses to new casino operators were awarded in these locations, the Group’s consolidated results of operations could be materially affected.

Note 13 — Related Party Transactions

Management Agreements

Part of day-to-day management and operation of the VIP gaming rooms is contracted by the Promotion Entities in Macau to Pak Si Management and Consultancy Limited of Macau (“Pak Si”), a related party management company that is responsible for hiring and managing staff needed for operations. This includes local managers and executives to provide supervision, finance and cage personnel, public relations, drivers and other service staff (waiters, cleaners, etc.). The agreements renew annually. The principal of Pak Si is the sister-in-law of Mr. Vong, a Director of the Company and its Chief Executive Officer.

Beginning in July 2013, the Oriental VIP Room entered into a management agreement with Pak Si for $103,000 per month.

OVERVIEW

We are a Cayman Islands company listed on the NASDAQ. We conduct VIP gaming promotion business at five VIP gaming rooms located in major casinos in Macau and two major casinos in Australia through the Promotion Entities, which include the Promoter Companies, the Collaborator (who are licensed gaming promoters and DICJ registered gaming collaborator) in Macau and Junket Operator in Australia (the terms “Promotion Entities,” “Promoter Companies,” Collaborator,” and “Junket Operator” are defined in the notes to the financial statements included with this report on Form 6-K). The principal business activities of our subsidiaries are to hold profit interest agreements with the Promotion Entities that confer upon us the right to enjoy all the economic benefits of the Promotion Entities, exercise effective control over the structure and the underlying assets and net worth of the Promotion Entities. Since September 1, 2012, we have generated revenue by sharing a pre-determined percentage of the net gaming win/loss of the VIP Rooms with the respective casino operators and L’Arc Promoter in Macau. Prior to that, except for the MGM Iao Kun VIP room, which was under a revenue sharing model with the casino, we generated revenue by receiving a pre-determined fixed rate commission of not more than 1.25% of the rolling chip turnover in the VIP Rooms from the casino operators in Macau. Revenue from VIP operation in Australia is based upon a mutually-agreed percentage of the rolling chip turnover. Virtually all of the Promotion Entities’ revenue is ultimately generated by VIP players who are brought to the VIP Rooms by our management team and junket agents.

SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Macau’s gaming and tourism markets

Our business is and will be influenced most significantly by the growth of the gaming and tourism markets in Macau. Rapid growth in the Macau gaming market commenced with the decision to grant new gaming concessions by the Macau Government in late 2001, and this growth has been facilitated by a number of drivers and initiatives which include, among others, favorable population demographics and economic growth across each of our Asian tourism source markets, substantial capital investment made by concessionaires in the development of branded and diversified destination resort properties, and the demonstrated commitment by central and local governments to improve or develop infrastructure connecting Macau with the rest of greater China. From 2008 to 2014, gross gaming revenues in Macau increased at a compound annual growth rate (“ CAGR”) of 21.67% and the number of hotel guests staying in Macau increased at a CAGR of 5.0%, according to the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (“DICJ”) and the Directhe dos ServiSer de Estatstatip e Censos (Statistics and Census Service) (“DSEC”), respectively. In 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, gross gaming revenues in Macau reached US$33.4 billion, US$38.0 billion, US$45.2 billion and US$44.1 billion, respectively, according to the DICJ. In the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, the total number of hotel guests staying in Macau was approximately 8.6 million, 9.5 million, 10.7 million and 10.7 million, respectively, according to the DSEC.

The total number of visitors to Macau increased at a CAGR of 5.46% from 2008 to 2014 according to the DSEC. In 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, there were approximately 28.0 million, 28.1 million, 29.3 million and 31.5 million visitors to Macau, respectively, according to the DSEC. A majority of these visitors come from greater China. Stable progress in the economic expansion of the domestic economy in China and further development of policy measures designed to advance economic cooperation between the Pearl River Delta, Hong Kong and Macau are key to the future development of our business opportunities. Starting from the first quarter of 2015, the number of visitors to Macau, particularly visitors from China’s Guangdong province (where most visitors to Macau come from), began to decline significantly due to Chinese government policies and regulatory factors.

According to the DICJ, gross gaming revenues in Macau increased by 13.4% from 2011 to 2012, increased by 18.6% from 2012 to 2013, and decreased by 2.5% from 2013 to 2014. According to the DICJ, gross gaming revenues in Macau decreased by 36.7% from the first half of 2014 to the first half of 2015, primarily due to the decline in revenue of VIP baccarat since 2012, which accounted for 73.2%, 69.3%, 66.1%, 60.5%, and 56.9% of total gross gaming revenue in Macau in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and the first half of 2015, respectively. Such decline was primarily a result of slower economic growth in parts of mainland China and the on-going anti-corruption campaign in mainland China, as well as the continued tightening of government policies (including visa restrictions and credit card usage) by the Chinese government in recent years. The continued economic slowdown in mainland China may adversely affect the Macau gaming industry and our results of operations.

Our credit extension policies

The availability of cage capital and our credit extension policies have significant impact on our revenue. Our cage capital mainly consists of retained earnings, lines of credit from casino operators and temporary credit from certain shareholders. As of June 30, 2015, we had an aggregate of US$57.7 million in total available lines of credit from casino operators in Macau and Australia, and the casino operators may extend temporary credit in excess of this amount to us from time to time.

In light of the decreasing trend of VIP baccarat, the casino game offered in the VIP Rooms, as well as the slower growth of China’s economy; the on-going anti-corruption campaign and the continued tightening of government policies in recent years, we have adopted a prudent approach in the extension of gaming credit since May 2012 by (i) tightening gaming credit to VIP gaming patrons; and (ii) taking steps to closely monitor the collection of outstanding markers. As a result, our total rolling chip turnover in 2012, 2013, 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2015 were adversely impacted. While our efforts to monitor the collection of outstanding markers have successfully mitigated our risk of bad debt, we have experienced a lengthening of the collection period on certain markers, though they remain within our collection policy of 180 days.

To effectively mitigate the adverse impact such tightening of credit had on our operating results, we have been pursuing strategic acquisitions to enlarge our junket agent base, similar to the Bao Li Acquisition in 2012 and the Oriental VIP Room Acquisition in 2013. In addition, we believe that VIP Gaming Promoters and Collaborators with fewer financial resources than we have will either cease operations or be targets for acquisition as the VIP Gaming sector consolidates into fewer, more financially secure VIP Gaming Promoters. As a result of our conservative extension of credit, we believe we are well positioned to expand our operations as part of this consolidation. While we have not identified specific VIP Gaming Promoters and Collaborators for acquisition, we continue to evaluate the sector and the potential expansion opportunities including overseas.

We have offered higher fixed commission rates to non-credit agents (agents that we do not extend credit to) since January 2013 and implemented a super-agent program in September 2012, which provides certain non-credit agents an option to participate in sharing our overall win/loss each month based on their proportionate contribution of our total rolling chip turnover of the previous month in addition to receiving a fixed rate commission. We intend to continue such initiatives in an effort to attract a higher proportion of non-credit agents who have the financial resources to purchase non-negotiable chips from us rather than relying on gaming credit extended by us, which in turn increases the number of VIP players and rolling chip turnover without additional credit risk.

Our network of junket agents

Virtually all our revenue is ultimately generated by VIP players brought to the VIP Rooms by junket agents. With the decreasing trend of VIP gaming in Macau, the competition for services provided by junket agents has increased. Our network of junket agents, our ability to maintain good relationships with them and our ability to continue to develop relationships with new junket agents will continue to have a significant impact on our results of operations.

Our revenue model

Macau

Beginning September 1, 2012, we changed our remuneration model from a fixed rate commission of not more than 1.25% of rolling chip turnover to a revenue sharing model where we currently share 42.5% to 55% of the net gaming win/loss before expenses with the respective casino operators and L’Arc Promoter in Macau. In respect of the Oriental VIP Room, we elected to pay a fixed amount of table rental to the L’Arc Promoter in exchange for a higher percentage of net gaming win/loss.

Such a shift in revenue model was affected primarily taking into consideration the following:

	•	the industry trend of shifting from a fixed rate commission model to a revenue sharing model, which is currently the standard model of compensating gaming promoters and is believed to be preferred by the concessionaires who prefer a less volatile earnings stream provided by the revenue sharing model;
	•	depending on the win/loss of the VIP Rooms, we may generate higher revenue under a revenue sharing model;
	•	our expansion into five VIP gaming rooms following the acquisitions in 2012 and 2013 provided us with more tables and enabled us to spread the risk of fluctuation in our operating results;
	•	our increased cage capital;
	•	a revenue sharing model gains us access to additional casinos which operate exclusively under such model; and
	•	a revenue sharing model increases our competitiveness in attracting non-credit agents.

Our operating results under the revenue sharing model directly correlate with the win/loss rate in the VIP Rooms and are therefore subject to greater fluctuation as compared to a fixed rate commission model. As a result, our short-term results may be materially affected by the win/loss variances in the VIP Rooms and may not be indicative of our future performance. As a result of the shift in revenue model, our revenue as a percentage of rolling chip turnover changed from 1.26% in 2011, to 1.30% in 2012, 1.39% in 2013, 1.41% in 2014, and to 1.62% during the six months ended June 30, 2015. However, according to Union Gaming, the generally expected win rate for VIP baccarat, the table game played at the VIP Rooms, is between 2.7% to 3.0% and our quarterly win rates from January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2015 ranged from 2.18% to 4.19%.

Since our change in revenue model, we have increased commission payments to non-credit agents and have allowed super-agents to participate in sharing our overall win/loss, which contributed to an overall higher percentage of commission paid to junket agents in relation to rolling chip turnover. As our network of non-credit agents and super-agent program expand, we expect a higher percentage of commission to junket agents in relation to rolling chip turnover.

Australia

On May 15, 2015, we entered into agreements to acquire all of the profit interests of Mr. Lou Kan Kuong (“Mr. Lou”) for acting as a junket operator for the Crown Perth Casino in Perth, Australia and for the Crown Melbourne Casino in Melbourne, Australia with consideration of $200 in total. Mr. Lou, who is currently an officer of IKGH, entered into agreements to act as a junket operator for the above two Casinos on June 24, 2013. We have started trial operations in the Australian casinos to gain a greater understanding of the preferences of our junket agents and VIP players and the logistics of the market. As of today, nominal revenues have been generated by the Australia operation, equal to our costs as we test this market. We receive a fixed percentage of the rolling chip turnover we generate at the Australian casinos and do not currently share in the win/loss results. The profit interests were acquired as an asset purchase for the historical costs of establishing the agreements between Mr. Lou and Australian Casinos as a related party transaction. We entered into the agreement to expand to overseas markets for our existing agent network in Macau.

Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired. The Company currently has only one reporting unit which is the gaming promotion business mainly located in Macau. Current operations in Australia are managed under the same reporting unit as Macau. As our international business expands, we may have additional reporting units.

In the first half of fiscal year 2015, the Company has adjusted the rolling chip turnover guidance to reflect the decline in revenue of the VIP gaming business in Macau. During the first half of 2015, the Company has been actively exploring alternatives to diversify the source of revenue in overseas markets. These results, along with changes in the competitive marketplace led to a shift in strategic direction and reduced future revenue and profitability expectations for the business. As a result of these changes in strategy and expectations, the Company forecasted reductions in rolling chip turnover growth rates and lower future cash flows used to estimate the fair value of the business unit, which resulted in an impairment charge for goodwill recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Refer to the Note 4, Goodwill and other intangible assets, of the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial information. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made that are necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of its operations and cash flows. Operating results as presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 20-F filed on April 14, 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2014. Certain of our accounting policies require that management apply significant judgments in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry trends and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and, therefore, actual results could differ from our estimates.

Management regularly evaluates accounting estimates, including those relating to income taxes, intangible assets and amortization, impairment of goodwill, fair value of contingent consideration payables, and impairment of markers receivable.

CERTAIN STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS ITEMS

Revenue from VIP gaming promotion operations

Our source of revenue is primarily commissions received from the casino operators and the L’Arc Promoter from VIP gaming promotion operations in Macau. We have started trial operations in Australia and believe the operations will contribute to future revenues. We also received a small amount of service revenues which are disbursement income from junket agents for providing transportation, accommodation, food and beverage and other complimentary services to them starting from 2013. The profits derived from our VIP gaming promotion operations depend on the gaming volumes and win rate in the VIP Rooms. Revenue from VIP gaming promotion operations in Macau is recorded based on our share of the gaming win/loss, and prior to September 2012, primarily as a fixed percentage of rolling chip turnover in the VIP gaming rooms. Our Australian operations are based upon a fixed percentage of rolling chip turnover.

Commission to junket agents

We pay commissions to junket agents typically based on their rolling chip turnover. We do not pay commissions with respect to direct business VIP players sourced by our management team. We implemented a super-agent program in September 2012 which allowed certain non-credit agents to participate in sharing overall win/loss with us in addition to receiving a fixed rate commission in Macau. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the junket agents who participated in such super-agent program received more commissions than they would have under the fixed rate commission model.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of legal and professional fees, management salaries and director fees, management fees associated with the administration of the VIP gaming rooms, staff costs (excluding directors’ remuneration), VIP room operating costs and other expenses.

Rolling Chip Turnover Ratios

Rolling Chip Turnover is used by casinos to measure the volume of VIP gaming room business transacted and represents the aggregate amount non-negotiable chips exchanged by VIP gaming patrons. Bets are wagered with ‘‘non-negotiable chips’’ and winning bets are paid out by casinos in so-called ‘‘cash’’ chips. If a player continues to make bets, they have to change the cash chips to non-negotiable chips.

Rolling Chip Turnover ratios are calculated as percentages of Rolling Chip Turnover, and represent the changes in revenue, expenses and income in comparison to the change in gaming volume which investors and management use to assess the operating efficiencies of the Promotion Entities.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our results relating to our Rolling Chip Turnover and certain performance ratios for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (all figures are in $ thousands except for ratios and percentages).

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2015			Three Months Ended June 30, 2014			% change from 2014 to 2015

Below is a quarterly analysis of the win rate in our VIP gaming rooms from January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2015:

Period	Win Rate %

Q1 2013		3.29	%
Q2 2013		3.06	%
Q3 2013		3.18	%
Q4 2013		2.39	%
Q1 2014		3.60	%
Q2 2014		2.18	%
Q3 2014		2.53	%
Q4 2014		3.95	%
Q1 2015		4.19	%
Q2 2015		2.73	%

Revenue from VIP gaming promotion operations was US$21.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to US$49.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, representing a decrease of 56.0%, whereas revenue as a percentage of rolling chip turnover increased from 1.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 1.26% in 2015, representing an increase of 18.4%. Such increases were primarily a result of a win rate of 2.73% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, which is within the statistical average win rate range, compared to a win rate of 2.18% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The reduction in amounts of gaming credit we made available to VIP gaming patrons adversely impacted the growth in our total rolling chip turnover since 2012. If the Chinese economy improves and demonstrates sustainable momentum, we may consider relaxing our credit extension policy.

During the second quarter of 2015, we experienced a continuing significant decrease in our Rolling Chip Turnover compared to the same period in 2014. Our Rolling Chip Turnover in the second quarter was $1.74 billion and $4.67 billion in 2015 and 2014, respectively, a 62.8% decrease. Our Rolling Chip Turnover was significantly impacted by:

	•	certain players being deterred by a variety of factors including tighter visa policies for mainland Chinese visitors and increased oversight of credit cards that many gamblers use to access funds in Macau;

	•	a lack of demand from high rollers and less visits to Macau primarily due to recent anti-corruption enforcement act by PRC government; and

	•	our tightening policy to provide gaming credit as a result of lengthened collection periods on certain markers, which remain within the collection policy of 180 days.

The commission paid to junket agents decreased by US$30.2 million, or 61.1%, to US$19.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily as a result of significantly lower Rolling Chip Turnover compared to the prior period. The commission paid to junket agents as a percentage of rolling chip turnover was 1.11% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, up from 1.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 4.7%. Beginning in January 2013, we began an upward adjustment in commission rates to stay competitive in the Macau VIP gaming industry and to compensate our junket agents for no longer providing any complimentary hotel and casino services to them from January 2013 as well as higher commission paid to non-credit agents and super agents.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by US$2.7 million, or 36.6%, to US$4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. Staff costs increased by US$0.4 million as a result of an increase in the number of employees and decreased management fees of US$0.7 million due to directly hiring employees to reduce our reliance on Pak Si and our monthly management fees have been reduced accordingly. VIP gaming room operating costs and other costs decreased by US$0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of the reduced number of junket agents and VIP players visiting Macau and operating costs. As a result of no longer pursuing a listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, no listing expenses were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

The special rolling tax decreased by US$0.3 million, or 62.8%, to US$0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from the three months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of the decrease in rolling chip turnover. The percentage of the special rolling tax to revenue from VIP gaming promotion remained consistent in a range of 0.8% to 0.9% in the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Amortization of intangible assets for the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was US$4.1 million.

We performed an assessment to test our goodwill for impairment as of June 30, 2015 and determined that the goodwill was impaired as of June 30, 2015 and recorded an impairment charge of US$17.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015. There was no impairment of goodwill recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Operating loss before change in the fair value of contingent consideration payables was US$24.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to operating loss of US$11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, representing an increase in our loss of 107%, primarily as a result of a significant decrease in revenues as a result of lower Rolling Chip Turnover and a one-time charge of impairment of goodwill, but offset by lower expenses due to lower commissions and no Hong Kong listing expenses.

There was a decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability in respect of the Bao Li Acquisition and Oriental VIP Room Acquisition of US$0.2 million, primarily resulting from the acquired networks of junket agents achieving lower rolling chip turnover results than forecasted at March 31, 2015. There was no fair value change of the contingent consideration payable in respect of the King’s Acquisition for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as the forecasted gross profit level of King’s resulted in no additional earn-out shares expected to be earned by the King’s seller. As required by U.S. GAAP, any change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, such as changes in our estimate of the gross profit and rolling chip turnover expected to be achieved, will be recognized in earnings in the period that estimated fair value changes. A change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration could have a material impact on our statement of operations and financial position.

As a result of the above, the net loss was lower by US$32.9 million from net loss of US$56.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to net loss of US$23.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was US$0.38 based upon the weighted average share count of 62,150,102.

Six Months ended June 30, 2015 Compared to the Six Months ended June 30, 2014

Revenue from VIP gaming promotion operations was US$63.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to US$129.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, representing a decrease of 51.0%, whereas revenue as a percentage of rolling chip turnover increased from 1.37% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 1.62% in 2015, representing an increase of 17.7%. Such increases were primarily a result of a win rate of 3.54% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, which is above the statistical average win rate range, compared to a win rate of 2.90% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The reduction in amounts of gaming credit we make available to VIP gaming patrons has adversely impacted our total rolling chip turnover since 2012. If the Chinese economy improves and demonstrates sustainable momentum, we may consider relaxing our credit extension policy.

During the first half of 2015, we experienced a significant decrease in our Rolling Chip Turnover compared to the same period in 2014. Our Rolling Chip Turnover was $3.93 billion and $9.44 billion in the first half of 2015 and 2014, respectively, a 58.3% decrease. Our Rolling Chip Turnover was significantly impacted by:

	•	a higher than the statistical average win rate in the first half of 2015, which may result in lower Rolling Chip Turnover;

	•	certain players being deterred by a variety of factors including tighter visa policies for mainland Chinese visitors and increased oversight of credit cards that many gamblers use to access funds in Macau;

	•	a lack of demand from high rollers and less visits to Macau primarily due to recent anti-corruption enforcement act by PRC government; and

	•	our tightening policy to provide gaming credit as a result of lengthened collection periods on certain markers which remain within the collection policy of 180 days.

The commission paid to junket agents decreased by US$57.2 million, or 54.8%, to US$47.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily as a result of significantly lower Rolling Chip Turnover compared to the prior period. The commission paid to junket agents as a percentage of rolling chip turnover was 1.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, up from 1.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of 8.5%. Beginning in January 2013, we began an upward adjustment in commission rates to stay competitive in the Macau VIP gaming industry and to compensate our junket agents for no longer providing any complimentary hotel and casino services to them from January 2013 as well as higher commission paid to non-credit agents and super agents.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by US$3.8 million, or 27.6%, to US$10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. Staff costs increased by US$1.2 million as a result of an increase in the number of employees and decreased management fees of US$1.3 million due to directly hiring employees to reduce our reliance on Pak Si. VIP gaming room operating costs and other costs decreased by US$1.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of the reduced number of junket agents and VIP players visiting Macau and operating costs. As a result of no longer pursuing a listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the listing expenses was US$0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to US$1.7 million recorded in prior period. We do not anticipate additional listing costs.

The special rolling tax decreased by US$0.6 million, or 58.3%, to US$0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from the six months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of the decrease in rolling chip turnover. The percentage of the special rolling tax to revenue from VIP gaming promotion remained consistent in a range of 0.6% to 0.7% in the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Amortization of intangible assets for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was US$8.2 million.

We performed an assessment to test our goodwill for impairment as of June 30, 2015 and determined that the goodwill was impaired as of June 30, 2015 and recorded an impairment charge of US$17.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015. There was no impairment of goodwill recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Operating loss before change in the fair value of contingent consideration payables was US$20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to operating income of US$2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, representing a decrease of 1,033%, primarily as a result of a significant decrease in revenues as a result of lower Rolling Chip Turnover and a one-time charge of impairment of goodwill.

There was an decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability in respect of the Bao Li Acquisition and Oriental VIP Room Acquisition of US$13.3 million, primarily resulting from the acquired networks of junket agents achieving lower rolling chip turnover results than forecasted at December 31, 2014. There was no fair value change of the contingent consideration payable in respect of the King’s Acquisition for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as the forecasted gross profit level of King’s resulted in no additional earn-out shares expected to be earned by the King’s seller. As required by U.S. GAAP, any change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration subsequent to the acquisition date, including changes from events after the acquisition date, such as changes in our estimate of the gross profit and rolling chip turnover expected to be achieved, will be recognized in earnings in the period that estimated fair value changes. A change in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration could have a material impact on our statement of operations and financial position.

As a result of the above, a decrease in net loss results by US$46.8 million from net loss of US$53.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to net loss of US$6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Basic and diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was US$0.11 based upon the weighted average share count of 61,871,123.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our calculation of Non-GAAP income (operating income before amortization of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and change in fair value of contingent consideration) and Non-GAAP EPS differs from EPS based on net income because it does not include amortization of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and change in fair value of contingent consideration. We use this information internally in evaluating our operations and believe this information is important to investors because it provides users of our financial information with additional useful information in evaluating operating performance for the periods and is more consistently comparable to the prior periods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Non-GAAP income and EPS should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income and EPS as determined in accordance with GAAP. The following is a reconciliation of our net income to Non-GAAP income and GAAP EPS to our Non-GAAP EPS:

TAXATION

Cayman Islands

We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, we are not subject to income or capital gain tax. In addition, payment by us to our shareholders is not subject to withholding tax in the Cayman Islands.

United States

We are not incorporated nor do we engage in any trade or business in the United States and are, therefore, not subject to United States federal income taxes.

Hong Kong

We are not subject to Hong Kong profits tax because all of our operations are performed outside Hong Kong, and Hong Kong adopts a territorial tax regime under which only Hong Kong-sourced income is subject to the profit tax.

British Virgin Islands

All of our BVI subsidiaries are incorporated under the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (No. 16 of 2004) and are exempt from payment of BVI taxes.

Macau

The Promoter Companies, Sang Heng, King’s, Bao Li and Sang Lung, and L’Arc Collaborator are not subject to Macau Complementary Tax, because their gaming revenue is received net of taxes collected by the Macau Government which are paid directly by the casino operators on a monthly basis. As a result, no provision for Macau Complementary Tax has been made.

The exemption from Macau Complementary Tax, however, does not apply to the dividends to be distributed by the Company’s Macau subsidiaries. We are, therefore, subject to Macau Complementary Tax at a progressive rate of up to maximum of 12% for dividends we receive from our Macau subsidiaries. Accordingly, we are required to recognize deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences associated with its investments in Macau subsidiaries except where we will be able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

During the reporting period, no liability was recognized in respect of these differences because we were in a position to control the timing of reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that such differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The Promotion Entities in Macau are subject to special rolling tax which is deducted and withheld by each casino operator and L’Arc Promoter on a monthly basis. The rate of special rolling tax is 0.01% on the rolling chip turnover of the VIP gaming room, and the special rolling tax is deducted as a cost of operation.

Australia

The Junket Operator in Australia is currently not subject to Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) and any income tax in Australia.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2015, our total available cage capital was US$190.1 million, consisting of markers receivable of US$179.1 million and cash and cash chips on hand of US$11.0 million.

As of June 30, 2015, we had a total cash and cash equivalents balance of US$11.0 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of US$9.0 million as of June 30, 2014. The increase is mainly as a result of decreased markers receivable, increased utilization of line of credit and increased shareholder loans offset by the settlement of the outstanding consideration for the acquisitions of the Bao Li Gaming in 2015. Our credit risk is primarily attributable to markers receivable.

As of June 30, 2015, we had available lines of credit of US$57.7 million from casino operators in Macau and Australia, excluding temporary credits, of which US$40.0 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2015. If the casino operators decide not to renew the lines of credit in any given month, our rolling chip turnover may be reduced as a result of reduced credit extended to our VIP gaming patrons. As a result, our gaming revenue from the casino operators and L’Arc Promoter and our net operating income could also be reduced.

As of June 30, 2015 we had interest free loans from shareholders of US$7.4 million which are temporary credit extended to us from time to time as part of our cage capital to meet additional gaming credit demand by our VIP gaming patrons.

Our expected sources of repayment of the lines of credit extended by the casino operators in Macau and Australia and loans from our shareholders are the repayment of markers receivable from our VIP gaming patrons as well as receivables due from the casino operators and L’Arc Promoter.

In June 2011, we adopted a share repurchase plan, or the 2011 Repurchase Plan, to purchase up to two million of shares on the open market at prices to be determined by our management. We purchased an aggregate of 26,300 shares for an aggregate purchase price of US$0.1 million under the 2011 Repurchase Plan, which expired on June 30, 2012. The shares repurchased under the 2011 Repurchase Plan have been retired and the purchase price was allocated to ordinary shares and additional paid in capital. In 2012, we repurchased an aggregate of 1,273,947 shares for an aggregate purchase price of US$4.2 million pursuant to the 2012 Repurchase Plan. In the first three months of 2013, we repurchased the remaining 726,053 shares available under the 2012 Repurchase Plan for an aggregate purchase price of US$2.7 million. The shares have been retired and the purchase price was allocated to ordinary shares and additional paid in capital. In March 2013, the Board of Directors established the 2013 Repurchase Plan, which authorized us to purchase up to four million of shares on the open market at prices to be determined by our management. During the year ended December 31, 2013 we repurchased an aggregate of 732,900 shares for an aggregate purchase price of US$2.3 million pursuant to the 2013 Repurchase Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we repurchased an aggregate of 1,415,300 shares for an aggregate purchase price of US$4.2 million pursuant to the 2013 Repurchase Plan. The shares repurchased under the 2013 Repurchase Plan were retired and the purchase price was allocated to ordinary shares and additional paid in capital. There were no shares repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The 2013 Repurchase Plan, which remains effective until terminated by our officers, who are authorized to discontinue such plan at any time in their discretion.

Working capital

We believe that we have sufficient working capital available for the next twelve months.

Cash flow

Historically, we have financed our working capital and other capital requirements primarily through cash generated from our operations and shareholder loans. The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated. (All figures are in thousands.)

	For the six months ended June 30, 2015			For the six months ended June 30, 2014

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	17,402		$	31,103
Net cash used in investing activities		(3	)		(304	)
Net cash used in financing activities		(17,556	)		(29,355	)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(157	)	$	1,444

Cash flow generated from operating activities

The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to an increase in collection period for markers receivable and increased utilization of our lines of credit. Other fluctuations in cash from operating activities were due primarily to miscellaneous timing differences.

Cash flow used in investing activities

The decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to an insignificant purchase of property and equipment in 2015.

Cash flow used in financing activities

The decrease in net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to (1) no Ordinary Shares repurchased in 2015; and (2) increased advances from shareholders in 2015.

Future sources and uses of cash

We generally funded our operations from cash generated from operating activities.

We expect that our future liquidity and capital requirements will be affected by:

	•	capital requirements related to prior and future acquisitions;
	•	cash flow from prior and future acquisitions;
	•	working capital requirements;
	•	dividend distributions;
	•	repurchase of outstanding shares;
	•	funds raised through the issuance of our securities; and
	•	earnings accumulated and reinvested.

Iao Kun Group Holding Company Limited Announces Second Quarter and Six Months 2015 Financial Results

Hong Kong, China – August 27, 2015 – Iao Kun Group Holding Company Limited (“IKGH”) (NASDAQ: IKGH), which operates through its subsidiaries and related promotion entities that act as VIP room gaming promoters and a collaborator, today announced unaudited financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. All currency amounts are stated in United States dollars. Please refer to the Form 6-K that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the full unaudited financial statements and related disclosures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Second Quarter 2015 Highlights

Rolling Chip Turnover (a metric used by casinos to measure the aggregate amount of players’ bets and overall volume of VIP gaming room business transacted, which is further defined below) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $1.7 billion, a decrease of 63%, compared to $4.7 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Net loss, including gain from the change in fair value of contingent consideration of $0.2 million related to the Bao Li Gaming and Oriental VIP Room acquisitions, was $23.8 million, or $0.38 net loss per share (basic and diluted), for the second quarter of 2015, compared to a net loss of $56.7 million, or $0.94 net loss per share (basic and diluted), for the same period of 2014. During the second quarter of 2015, IKGH incurred a one-time $17.8 million impairment of goodwill.

Non-GAAP loss, which is operating income before amortization of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and the change in fair value of contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of King’s Gaming, Bao Li Gaming and Oriental VIP Room, was $2.2 million, or $0.03 loss per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to a non-GAAP loss of $7.5 million, or $0.12 loss per share (basic and diluted), for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Six Month Dividend Update

IKGH’s Board of Directors previously authorized a regular dividend each year after the release of the Company's financial results for the six months ending June 30 (the “Six Month Dividend”). IKGH’s Six Month Dividend policy equates to: (i) 15% of IKGH’s non-GAAP net income for the most recently completed six months ended June 30, divided by (ii) the number of ordinary shares outstanding on the record date for such dividend. For the Six Month Dividend payable for 2015, this is expected to equate to a dividend of approximately $0.014 per share, a reduction of $0.012 per share from the prior-year period.

IKGH’s annual dividend payment policy equates to an amount per outstanding ordinary share equal to (i) 15% of IKGH’s non-GAAP net income for the most recently completed fiscal year less the amount paid pursuant to the six month dividend, divided by (ii) the number of ordinary shares outstanding on the record date for such dividend (the “Annual Dividend”).

IKGH is maintaining its Annual Dividend policy.

Second Quarter 2015 Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2015, IKGH recorded revenue of $21.9 million, a 56% decrease from the same period of 2014, primarily due to lower rolling chip turnover during the quarter. The decrease in revenue was also due to (i) a decreasing trend of VIP baccarat, consistent with the overall decline of gaming revenue in Macau; and (ii) the economic downturn and ongoing anti-corruption campaign in mainland China, where the majority of IKGH’s VIP gaming patrons reside, as well as the continued tightening of government policies in mainland China.

The lower net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily a result of the change in contingent consideration, which was a gain of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a loss of $45.1 million for the prior-year period, as well as lower commission to junket agents for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of significantly lower rolling chip turnover compared to the prior-year period. IKGH also incurred lower selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to the costs incurred in 2014 in connection with IKGH’s application to list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. IKGH does not anticipate additional listing costs. The lower net loss was partially offset by a one-time $17.8 million impairment of goodwill.

“The overall VIP market in Macau continues to be affected by the ongoing macro environment, and as such we are continuing to prudently manage our capital,” said Mr. Lam Man Pou, Chairman of IKGH. “We continue to explore overseas alternatives, such as our recent acquisition of Australian profit interests, to expand our overall VIP presence and provide additional diversification to our current sources of revenue. We remain committed to finding these additional opportunities and ultimately generating long-term value for our shareholders.”

Six Month 2015 Highlights

Rolling Chip Turnover for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $3.9 billion, a decrease of 58% compared to $9.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Net loss, including gain from the change in fair value of contingent consideration of $13.3 million related to the King’s Gaming, Bao Li Gaming and Oriental VIP Room acquisitions, was $6.7 million, or $0.11 net loss per share (basic and diluted), in the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $53.5 million, or $0.89 net loss per share (basic and diluted), in the same period of 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, IKGH incurred a one-time $17.8 million impairment of goodwill.

Non-GAAP income, which is operating income before amortization of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and the change in fair value of contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of King’s Gaming, Bao Li Gaming and Oriental VIP Room, was $5.9 million, or $0.10 earnings per share (basic and diluted), for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to income of $10.3 million, or $0.17 earnings per share (basic and diluted), for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Outlook for 2015

For the first seven months of 2015, IKGH’s Rolling Chip Turnover was US$4.36 billion (an average of $0.62 billion per month), down 61% year-over-year, compared to US$11.03 billion (an average of $1.58 billion per month) for the first seven months of 2014.

The Company is adjusting its 2015 Rolling Chip Turnover guidance for its five existing VIP rooms in Macau to between US$6.0 billion and US$7.0 billion, from a previous range of US$7.0 billion and US$8.5 billion.

Definition of Rolling Chip Turnover

Rolling Chip Turnover is used by casinos to measure the volume of VIP business transacted and represents the aggregate amount of non-negotiable chips players purchased. Bets are wagered with "non-negotiable chips" and winning bets are paid out by casinos in so-called "cash" chips. "Non-negotiable chips" are specifically designed for VIP players to allow casinos to calculate the commission payable to VIP room gaming promoters and collaborator. Commissions are paid based on the total amount of "non-negotiable chips" purchased by each player. VIP room gaming promoters therefore require the players to "roll," from time to time, their "cash chips" into "non-negotiable" chips for further betting (hence the term "Rolling Chip Turnover"). Through the promoters, "non-negotiable chips" can be converted back into cash at any time. Betting using rolling chips, as opposed to using cash chips, is also used by the DICJ to distinguish between VIP table revenue and mass market table revenue.

All IKGH’s Macau VIP rooms are on a revenue sharing remuneration model. On a win/loss split basis, the VIP room gaming promoter and collaborator receive an agreed percentage of the "win" in the VIP gaming room (plus certain incentive allowances), and is required to also bear the same percentage of losses that might be incurred. Revenue from VIP operation in Australia is based upon a mutually-agreed percentage of the rolling chip turnover.

About Iao Kun Group Holding Company Limited

IKGH is a holding company which operates through its subsidiaries and related promotion entities that act as VIP room gaming promoters and a collaborator, and is entitled to receive all of the profits of the VIP gaming promoters and a collaborator from VIP gaming rooms. IKGH’s VIP room gaming promoters and collaborator currently participate in the promotion of five major luxury VIP gaming facilities in Macau, China, the largest gaming market in the world. One VIP gaming room is located at the top-tier 5-star hotel, the StarWorld Hotel & Casino in downtown Macau, and another is located in the luxury 5-star hotel, the Galaxy Macau™ Resort in Cotai, each of which is operated by Galaxy Casino, S.A. Additional VIP gaming rooms are located at the Sands Cotai Central and City of Dreams Macau, both in Cotai, and Le Royal Arc Casino, located in NAPE, Downtown Macau. IKGH recently started trial operations to the Australian casinos (Crown Perth Casino in Perth, Australia and the Crown Melbourne Casino in Melbourne, Australia) to gain a greater understanding of the preferences of its junket agents and VIP players and the logistics of the market.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking statements, based upon the current beliefs and expectations of IKGH’s management, are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements. The gaming industry is characterized by an element of chance. Theoretical win rates for IKGH’s promotion entities’ VIP gaming room operations depend on a variety of factors, some beyond their control. In addition to the element of chance, theoretical win rates are also affected by other factors, including gaming patrons' skill and experience, the mix of games played, the financial resources of gaming patrons, the spread of table limits, the volume of bets placed by IKGH’s promotion entities’ gaming patrons and the amount of time gaming patrons spend on gambling — thus VIP gaming rooms’ actual win rates may differ greatly over short time periods, such as from quarter to quarter, and could cause their quarterly results to be volatile. These factors, alone or in combination, have the potential to negatively impact the VIP gaming rooms’ win rates. Investors and potential investors should consult all of the information set forth herein and should also refer to the risk factors set forth in IKGH’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed in April 2015, and other reports filed or to be filed from time-to-time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s calculation of Non-GAAP income (operating income before amortization of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and change in fair value of contingent consideration) and Non-GAAP EPS differs from EPS based on net income because it does not include amortization of intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and change in fair value of contingent consideration. The Company uses this information internally in evaluating its operations and believes this information is important to investors because it provides users of the Company’s financial information with additional useful information in evaluating operating performance for the periods and is more consistently comparable to the prior periods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Non-GAAP income and EPS should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income and EPS as determined in accordance with GAAP. The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s net income to Non-GAAP income and GAAP EPS to its Non-GAAP EPS:
