PART I

 

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

 

BUSINESS

 

We are an established global gaming company specializing in the design, development, manufacturing, marketing and acquisition of proprietary casino table games and associated technology, platforms and systems for the casino gaming industry. We are a leading supplier of gaming entertainment products worldwide and provide a diverse offering of quality products and services at competitive prices, designed to enhance the player’s experience.

 

Galaxy Gaming is a Nevada corporation formed in December 2006. In 2007, we entered into several asset purchase agreements with Galaxy Gaming, LLC (“GGLLC”) related to selected assets, such as inventory, fixed assets, patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, copyrights and trade secrets of proprietary games, side bets, inventions and ideas related to the casino gaming industry. In addition to these tangible and intangible assets, we acquired the existing client and revenue base from GGLLC. We became a publicly traded company in 2009 as the result of a reverse merger with Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. (“SDI”). See Note 1 in Part 8 for more information.

 

Casinos use our proprietary products to enhance their gaming floor operations and improve their profitability, productivity and security, as well as offer popular cutting-edge gaming entertainment content and technology to their players. We market our products to land-based, riverboat and cruise ship gaming establishments and beginning in 2011, to internet gaming companies. The game concepts and the intellectual property associated with these games are typically protected by patents, trademarks and/or copyrights. We market our products primarily via our internal sales force to casinos throughout North America, the Caribbean, the British Isles, Europe, Australia and to cruise ships and internet gaming sites worldwide. We currently have an installed base of our products on over 3,000 gaming tables located in over 500 casinos, which positions us as the second largest provider of proprietary table games in the world.

 

We group our products into three product categories we classify as “Proprietary Table Games,” “Enhanced Table Systems” and “e-Tables.” Our product categories are summarized below. Additional information regarding our products may be found on our web site, www.galaxygaming.com. Information found on the web site should not be considered part of this report.

Table of Contents

Proprietary Table Games. We design, develop and deliver our Proprietary Table Games to enhance our casino clients’ table game operations. Casinos use our Proprietary Table Games in lieu of those games in the public domain (e.g. Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, etc.) because of their popularity with players and to increase profitability. Our Proprietary Table Games are grouped into two product types we call “Side Bets” and “Premium Games.” Side Bets are proprietary features and wagering schemes typically added to public domain games such as poker, baccarat, pai gow poker, craps and blackjack table games. Premium Games are unique stand-alone Proprietary Table Games with their own unique set of rules and strategies. Generally, Premium Games generate higher revenue per table placement than the Side Bet games. Internally, we track revenue by each of our Proprietary Table Games.  We do not internally track direct costs associated with the revenue of each of our proprietary casino games since it would require subjective allocations of common costs. Samplings of our Proprietary Table Games are listed below.

Enhanced Table Systems. Enhanced Table Systems are electronic enhancements used on casino table games to add to player appeal and to enhance game security. We include three products in this category: our Bonus Jackpot System, our Inter-Casino Jackpot System and MEGA-Share.

 

Enhanced Table Systems: Bonus Jackpot System. The Bonus Jackpot System facilitates a jackpot players can win by making a qualified wager. The jackpot is awarded to a player (or players) upon obtaining a specific triggering event. Our Bonus Jackpot System allows for two-way communication between gaming tables located anywhere in the world using one or more data processing centers. We believe this achievement for casino table games was the first of its kind in the world. The world-wide availability of connecting tables has been made possible through an agreement we entered into with Amazon Web Services, a unit of Amazon.com.

 

The Bonus Jackpot System is an advanced electronic system installed on gaming tables that is used to detect players’ wagers, evaluate game play, determine dealer efficiency and to assist in calculating jackpots and bonusing offerings. The Bonus Jackpot System also includes an electronic display system used on gaming tables to display game information to the players known as TableVision. Casinos use TableVision as an enhanced display to generate additional player interest and to promote various aspects of the game offered such as jackpots and bonusing programs. The Bonus Jackpot System allows the casino to seamlessly collect and process data and in turn, offer jackpots and other bonusing schemes to their players as determined by them using the data collected and processed.

 

The most current version of the Bonus Jackpot System is the Andromeda 4, which allows for sensors up to 16 player positions and up to 6 sensors per player position (maximum total of 96 data gathering points). Sensors can be placed discreetly under the felt or be an enhanced sensor with a multi-colored LED light. The enhanced sensors increase security and reliability while providing the player with a positive indication a wager has been recorded. Another feature of our Bonus Jackpot system is the ability to keep track of and display more than one jackpot. This ability, combined with the expansion of multiple sensors, permits us to offer a unique bonusing system called “MEGA-Share” to our casino clients.

Table of Contents

Enhanced Table Systems: Inter-Casino Jackpot System. We leverage the abilities of our Bonus Jackpot System to connect and/or aggregate bonus or progressive jackpots from multiple casinos into a common network. This methodology has long been practiced in the slot machine industry beginning with the introduction of IGT’s Megabucks in the 1990’s. These systems are referred to as “wide area progressives” and nearly every major slot machine manufacturer has a wide area progressive system. We developed our version of a wide area progressive jackpot system for table games that we call the Inter-Casino Jackpot System. Our preferred method of compensation is to collect a transaction fee from our casino clients based upon their player’s participation in the Inter-Casino Jackpot System.

 

Enhanced Table Systems: MEGA-Share. MEGA-Share is a game play methodology invented by us that allows a player of one of our table games to share in the winnings of a jackpot together with other players. An example of this concept would be when multiple table game players are playing in a casino and one of them obtains a winning hand entitling them to a jackpot, the event also triggers a second MEGA-Share jackpot that is divided among all players who made a MEGA-Share qualified wager. MEGA-Share rewards the other players playing on other tables, other games, or even other casinos with a share of the MEGA-Share jackpot, provided that they placed a qualifying MEGA-Share wager. We believe the Bonus Jackpot System and MEGA-Share may offer casinos an opportunity to significantly increase player interest, thereby increasing casino revenues and generating increased recurring revenue for us.

 

e-Tables. In 2011, we licensed the worldwide rights (excluding Oklahoma, Kentucky and the Caribbean) to the TableMAX e-Table system. Simultaneously we obtained e-Table rights to the casino table games Caribbean Stud , Caribbean Draw , Progressive Blackjack , Texas Hold’em Bonus and Blackjack Bullets . A description of this agreement is contained in Note 16 of Item 8. The TableMAX e-Table system is a fully automated, dealer-less, multi-player electronic table game platform. These platforms allow us to offer our table game content in markets where live table games are not permitted. Our e-Table product enables the automation of certain components of traditional table games such as data collection, placement of bets, collection of losing bets and payment of winning bets.  This automation provides benefits to both casino operators and players, including greater security and faster speed of play, reduced labor and other game related costs and increased profitability.

 

Our revenues consist of primarily recurring royalties received from our clients for the licensing of our game content and other products. Typically over 90% of our total revenues are recurring. In 2012, recurring revenues represented 99% of our total revenues. These recurring revenues generally have few direct costs thereby generating high gross profit margins in excess of 90%. In lieu of reporting as “gross profit,” this amount would be comparable to “revenues less cost of ancillary products and assembled components” on our financial statements. Additionally, we receive non-recurring revenue as reimbursement from the sale of associated products.

 

For more information about our revenues, operating income and assets, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in this Form 10-K.

 

STRATEGY

 

At Galaxy, we believe that casino games which players are loyal to and enjoy playing will not only enhance their experience, but be profitable for our clients. We will continue to expand our product offering by focusing on innovative products and services that we can target market to players. As we continue to develop and enhance our brand names and reputation, we anticipate expanding to new product lines that complement our overall strategy and enhance our market presence.

 

Our long-term business strategy is designed to enhance client value by producing products players enjoy playing. We will enhance shareholder value by capitalizing on existing and emerging markets and the worldwide proliferation of gaming and continue to build our recurring revenues. To achieve both of these objectives, we employ the following strategies:

 

1. Expand our inventory of products and technologies to attain a fully comprehensive portfolio;

2. Increase our per unit price point by leveraging our Enhanced Table Systems; and

3. Grow our e-Table business.

 

Expand our inventory of products and technologies to attain a fully comprehensive portfolio. Historically, only one company in the table game industry, SHFL Entertainment, Inc., has had the ability to offer casinos nearly all of the table game products they require. Their unique ability to offer numerous products both in terms of game content and what they term as “utility” products (e.g. card shufflers, smart dealing shoes, baccarat displays, etc.), has stifled competition from other companies, including us, who are disadvantaged without a complete product line offering. Our strategy is to be an alternative for casino operators by offering a complete and comprehensive portfolio of games, products, systems, technologies and methodologies for casino table games. If we achieve this objective, we intend to offer complete turn-key systems rather than compete solely as a purveyor of individual products only. We continuously develop and/or seek to acquire new proprietary table games to complement our existing offerings and to extend our penetration of proprietary table games on the casino floor. We expect to accomplish this strategic shift through internal development of products as well as continued acquisitions from others.

5
Table of Contents

Our first preference is to develop internally our products and intellectual property. Our CEO works closely with our engineering team to develop new cutting-edge table game content and ancillary products. Together they have been responsible for the continued development of our Proprietary Table Games and Enhanced Table Systems. We intend to further expand our product line including so-called “utility” products now offered by our competitors through our continued research, design, development and engineering efforts.

 

In addition, we are constantly seeking to acquire marketable products developed by others. Since 2010, we have made five successful acquisitions. In 2010, we acquired the Deuces Wild Hold’em Fold’em and Random Wild games and associated intellectual property from T&P Gaming, Inc. In October 2011, we acquired over 20 different table games, including 21+3 , Two-way Hold'em and Three Card Poker from Prime Table Games. Those games are currently played on approximately 500 tables in 200 casinos in the United States, the United Kingdom and in the Caribbean. Prime Table Games’ intellectual property portfolio included 47 patents and patents pending, 96 worldwide trademark and design registrations and 47 domain name registrations. In November 2011, we acquired the table games Bonus Craps , Four The Money , Rainbow Poker and Roulette Craps together with nine patents, various trademarks and an assignment of existing licensing agreements with various casinos throughout the United States from Lakes Entertainment, Inc. In March 2012, we acquired Double Action Blackjack as a result of a settlement with Unax Service, LLC (see Note 11 in Part 8 for more details). In September 2012, we acquired High Card Flush from Red Card Gaming, Inc., which was awarded the 2012 Casino Journal’s Best New Table Game, as voted on by casino table game managers.

 

We anticipate the continued acquisition and/or development of additional new proprietary table games and associated intellectual property. When combined with our existing portfolio, new proprietary games will give us the comprehensive spectrum of products to offer casinos a complete solution, thereby increasing our competitiveness in the marketplace.

 

Increase our per unit price point by leveraging our Enhanced Table Systems. Our Enhanced Table Systems permit us the opportunity to significantly increase the amount of recurring revenue we receive from each table game placement. Accordingly, our goal is to concentrate on installing new game placements using one or more of our Enhanced Table Systems and to convert our existing Proprietary Table Game placements that currently do not incorporate our Enhanced Table Systems. We have modified most of our Premium Table Games and many of our Side Bets to benefit from the economics this new system affords us.  In the future, we intend to be able to offer this platform for all games.

 

Additionally, we expect that most or all of our new Proprietary Table Games will include the Bonus Jackpot System component. The technology developed with the Bonus Jackpot System has allowed us to offer not only bonus jackpots and progressive jackpots, but also provides us the infrastructure to offer our Inter-Casino Jackpot System and MEGA-Share. We have identified jurisdictions where we may have the ability to offer this program and have commenced seeking the requisite approvals. In jurisdictions where our Inter-Casino Jackpot System is approved, we have increased our sales efforts towards connecting casinos together into a common jackpot system.

 

We invented the concept called MEGA-Share, which we first installed in December 2011. MEGA-Share and our Inter-Casino Jackpot System are unrelated but can be combined if so desired by our clients. A casino could operate either one or both simultaneously. We believe MEGA-Share has the ability to become a “must-have” product for casinos and as a result could be a significant contributor to our future revenue growth. Accordingly, we also intend to intensify our sales efforts on obtaining MEGA-Share placements.

 

Grow our e-Table business. Our TableMAX product line is developed for us by TableMAX Corporation. Having installed the majority of TableMAX e-Tables we received last year, we are awaiting the next major release of the TableMAX e-Table, referred to as the “Model E.” We have been informed by TableMAX Corporation that the majority of the Model E’s development is complete. We anticipate the requisite approvals for the Model E in 2013 and expect to offer this product to gaming operators in mid or late 2013.

 

COMPETITION

 

We compete with other gaming products and supply companies for space on the casino floor, as well as for our client’s capital spending.  Our competition for casino placement and the attention of players comes from a variety of sources, including companies that design and market proprietary table games, electronic table game platforms, e-Tables and other gaming products.

 

With respect to our Proprietary Table Games, we compete with several companies who primarily develop and license proprietary table games.  Our competitors include, but are not limited to, SHFL Entertainment, DEQ Systems, TCS/John Huxley, and Masque Publishing. Competition in this product group is particularly based on price, brand recognition, player appeal and the strength of underlying intellectual property.  Smaller developers and vendors are more able to participate in developing and marketing table games, compared to other gaming products, because of the lower cost and complexity associated with the development of these products and a generally less stringent regulatory environment.  Larger competitors have superior capital resources, distribution and product inventory than we do.  We compete on these bases, as well as on the strength of our extensive sales, service and distribution channels.  We have been able to increase our placements of table games not only because of the general growth of casino gaming, but also by displacing other proprietary and public domain table game products.

6

With respect to our Enhanced Table Systems, we compete primarily with SHFL Entertainment and DEQ Systems. SHFL Entertainment has a progressive jackpot system it uses with its proprietary table games. DEQ Systems, which has limited game content, often uses its platform with other companies’ games including ours and SHFL Entertainment.

 

With respect to our Inter-Casino Jackpot System, we compete primarily with SHFL Entertainment. We believe the methodology used by our Inter-Casino Jackpot System will likely become popular and as a result, we anticipate new competitors in the future.

 

With respect to our e-Table system, there are numerous other companies that manufacture and/or sell e-Tables that are similar. These companies include, but are not limited to, TCS/John Huxley, Aristocrat, Interblock, Aruze Gaming Corporation, Novomatic Industries, PokerTek, Inc. and SHFL Entertainment. Our e-Tables, as well as those of other companies, also compete for casino floor space with live table games and slots.  One of our competitive strengths in this segment is the ability to offer our proprietary table game titles on e-Table platforms. In 2010, we entered into a royalty agreement with PokerTek, Inc. to license our game content whereby we would receive royalties for the use of our products if placed on their electronic platform.  In 2012, we did not earn any royalties from this agreement. We anticipate we will receive minimal revenues from this agreement in 2013.

 

Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater resources, greater brand recognition and more firmly established supply relationships.  Moreover, we expect additional competitors to emerge in the future.  We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market include products that appeal to casinos and players, jurisdictional approvals and a well-developed sales and distribution network.  Although we plan to compete effectively in this market, we recognize that this market is relatively new and is evolving rapidly, and accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively. We believe that our success will depend upon our ability to remain competitive in our field.  We compete with others in efforts to obtain or create innovative products, obtain financing, acquire other gaming companies, and license and distribute products.  The failure to compete successfully in the market for proprietary table games, electronic table game platforms and multi-casino jackpots could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

We believe we have competitive advantages resulting from broad alliances and lengthy business relationships with our clients and an extensive intellectual property portfolio. Our historically high levels of customer service and support, worldwide name and brand recognition and geographic diversity are also competitive assets. We believe our reputation for consistently delivering and supporting quality products will encourage operators to select our products and enable us to maintain and create a substantial market position.

 

MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLIERS

 

We obtain most of the parts for our products from third party suppliers, including both off-the-shelf items as well as components manufactured to our specifications. We also manufacture a small number of parts in-house that are used both for product assembly and for servicing existing products. We generally perform warehousing, quality control, final assembly and shipping ourselves from our facilities in Las Vegas, Nevada, although small inventories are maintained and repairs are performed by our field service employees. We believe that our sources of supply for components and raw materials are adequate and that alternative sources of materials are available.

 

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

 

While we are committed to growing the sales of our marketed products, we strive to maintain a robust pipeline of products under development to bring to market. We employ a staff of electrical, mechanical and software engineers, graphic artists and game developers to support, improve and upgrade our products and to develop and explore other potential table game products.  We perform our research and development ourselves at our corporate offices. We may also use third party developers to conduct research and development for certain product offerings.

 

We believe that one of our strengths is identifying new product opportunities and developing new products. Therefore we expect to continue to spend a significant portion of our annual revenues on research and development, including the acquisition of intellectual property from third parties.  We have incurred approximately $333,000 and $286,000 in research and development expenditures during 2012 and 2011, respectively. Consistent with our increased focus on development of new products, we anticipate increased research and development expenditures in 2013. 

7

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

Our products and the intellectual property associated with them are typically protected by patents, trademarks and copyrights. There can be no assurance that the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property will be sufficient.  In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property to the same extent as the laws of the United States, which could increase the likelihood of infringement.  Furthermore, other companies could develop similar or superior products without violating our intellectual property rights.  If we resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome, disruptive and expensive, and distract the attention of management, and there can be no assurance that we would prevail.

 

We have been and are subject to litigation claiming that we have infringed the rights of others and/or that certain of our patents and other intellectual property are invalid or unenforceable. We have also brought actions against others to protect our rights. A description of certain of these matters is contained in Note 11 of Item 8 and incorporated herein by this reference.

 

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

 

We are subject to regulation by governmental authorities in most jurisdictions in which we offer our products.  The manufacturing and distribution of casino games, gaming equipment, systems technology, and related services, as well as the operation of casinos, is all subject to regulation by a variety of federal, state, international, tribal, and local agencies with the majority of oversight provided by individual state gaming control boards. While the regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction, most require:

 

· Findings of suitability for the company, individual officers, directors, key employees and major shareholders

· Documentation of qualification, including evidence of financial stability

· Specific approvals for gaming equipment manufacturers and distributors

· Licenses, registrations and/or permits

 

Gaming regulatory requirements vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and obtaining licenses, registrations, findings of suitability for our officers, directors, and principal stockholders and other required approvals with respect to us, our personnel and our products are time consuming and expensive.  Generally, gaming regulatory authorities have broad discretionary powers and may deny applications for or revoke approvals on any basis they deem reasonable.  We have approvals that enable us to conduct our business in numerous jurisdictions, subject in each case to the conditions of the particular approvals.  These conditions may include limitations as to the type of game or product we may sell or lease, as well as limitations on the type of facility, such as riverboats, and the territory within which we may operate, such as tribal nations. We have authorizations with certain Native American tribes throughout the United States whom have compacts with the states in which their tribal dominions are located or operate or propose to operate casinos.  These tribes generally require suppliers of gaming and gaming-related equipment to obtain authorizations.

 

The nature of the industry and our worldwide operations make this process very time consuming and require extensive resources. We engage legal resources familiar with local customs in certain jurisdictions to assist in keeping us compliant with applicable regulations worldwide. Through this process, we seek to assure both regulators and investors that all our operations maintain the highest levels of integrity and avoid any appearance of impropriety.

 

Gaming laws and regulations serve to protect the public interest and ensure gambling related activity is conducted honestly, competitively, and free of corruption. Regulatory oversight additionally ensures that the local authorities receive the appropriate amount of gaming tax revenues. As such, our financial systems and reporting functions must demonstrate high levels of detail and integrity.

 

We have obtained or applied for all required government licenses, permits, registrations, findings of suitability, and approvals necessary to manufacture and distribute gaming products in all jurisdictions where we directly operate. Although many regulations at each level are similar or overlapping, we must satisfy all conditions individually for each jurisdiction. We have never been denied a gaming related license, nor have our licenses ever been suspended or revoked.

 

Gaming jurisdictions.   Gaming jurisdictions that have legalized gaming typically require various licenses, registrations, findings of suitability, permits, and approvals of manufacturers and distributors of gaming devices and equipment as well as licensure provisions related to changes in control.  In general, such requirements involve restrictions and approvals.  Additionally, we license and/or lease our products through licensed distributors. We offer our products throughout most of the United States, Canada, Caribbean, United Kingdom and selected parts of Europe.

8

Native American gaming regulation.   Gaming on Native American lands within the United States is governed by the Federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 ("IGRA") and specific tribal ordinances and regulations. Class III gaming, as defined under IGRA, also requires a Tribal-State Compact, which is a written agreement between a specific tribe and the respective state. This compact authorizes the type of Class III gaming activity and the standards, procedures and controls under which the Class III gaming activity must be conducted.  The National Indian Gaming Commission ("NIGC") has oversight authority over gaming on Native American lands and generally monitors tribal gaming including the establishment and enforcement of required minimum internal control standards.  Each tribe is sovereign and must have a tribal gaming commission or office established to regulate tribal gaming activity to ensure compliance with IGRA, NIGC, and its Tribal-State Compact.  We have complied with each of the numerous vendors licensing and specific product approval and shipping notification requirements imposed by Tribal-State Compacts and enforced by tribal and/or state gaming agencies under IGRA in the Native American lands in which we do business.

 

Application of future or additional regulatory requirements.   In the future we intend to seek the necessary registrations, licenses, approvals, and findings of suitability for us, our products, and our personnel in other jurisdictions throughout the world. However, we may be unable to obtain such necessary items, or if such items are obtained, may be revoked, suspended, or conditioned.  In addition, we may be unable to obtain on a timely basis, or to obtain at all, the necessary approvals of our future products as they are developed, even in those jurisdictions in which we already have existing products licensed or approved. If the necessary regulations are not sought after or the required approvals not received, we may be prohibited from selling our products in that jurisdiction or may be required to sell our products through other licensed entities at a reduced profit.

 

EMPLOYEES

 

We have twenty-three employees, including executive officers, management personnel, accounting personnel, office staff, sales staff, service technicians and research and development personnel.  Our employees are co-employed by Advanstaff, Inc. a professional employer organization engaged by us to provide payroll and human resource services.  As needed from time to time, we also pay for the services of independent contractors.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

 

Prior to our reverse merger with SDI in 2009, we were a privately-held company. Also prior to the reverse merger, the common stock of SDI was quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”), which is sponsored by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), under the symbol SDFD.OB.  The OTCBB is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock.  The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current "bids" and "asks," as well as volume information. A few months after the reverse merger, FINRA reissued SDI’s stock ticker symbol as SECD.OB.  After we were merged with SDI, we requested a new symbol from FINRA and were issued the symbol GLXZ.  

 

The following table sets forth the range of high and low closing sale prices for our common stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTCBB.  

 

2012 2011
Quarter Ended High ($) Low ($) High ($) Low ($)
December 31, 0.25 0.18 0.30 0.16
September 30, 0.26 0.16 0.35 0.15

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK

 

As of March 29, 2013, we had 38,310,591 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 278 shareholders.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends.  The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

· We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business

· Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution

 

We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

TRANSFER AGENT

 

Our stock transfer agent and registrar is Empire Stock Transfer, Inc. located at 1859 Whitney Mesa Drive, Henderson, Nevada 89014. Their telephone number is (702) 818-5898.

 

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

 

We have not yet adopted any formal equity compensation plans. In anticipation of establishing an equity compensation plan we:

 

· Agreed that our outside Board members serving through 2012 were to receive immediately-vested options to purchase 46,250 shares of our common stock per quarter.

· On March 29, 2012, our Board agreed to an initial employee stock grant program which granted 802,500 shares to 12 different employees in various grant sizes.

· As condition of his employment agreement, our Board granted options to Gary A. Vecchiarelli, our CFO to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the grant date ($0.25). Such options will vest over three years as follows: 33% on the first anniversary (July 1, 2013) and in equal monthly installments for the remaining 24 months.

 

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

 

On February 24, 2011 we sold a total of 533,333 shares of common stock and 266,667 warrants for total cash proceeds of $200,000.

 

On October 1, 2011, as a part of the asset acquisition structure for Prime Table Games, 2,000,000 shares valued at $0.24 each were issued separately to the two owners of Prime Table Games.

 

The offering and sale of our shares were exempt from registration under rule 506 of Regulation D.  The shares were offered exclusively to accredited and/or sophisticated investors and there was no solicitation or advertising.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

 

The following table presents selected historical financial data. We derived the selected statements of operations data for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and balance sheet data as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 from our audited financial statements and notes thereto that are included elsewhere in this annual report.

During 2009, we disposed of a real estate investment in a non-cash trade for 50,000 shares of common stock resulting in a loss of $99,950 from discontinued operations. This amount has been included in net loss for 2009.

 

(1) In 2011, we made a significant acquisition of assets from Prime Table Game, LLC and Prime Table Games UK. The allocation of the total purchase price to the net assets acquired is as follows:

Note payable – Prime Table Games UK     10,000,000  
Total   $ 22,680,000  

 

(2) In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we disclose information regarding EBITDAS. EBITDAS includes adjusting net income/(loss) to exclude interest, taxes,, depreciation, amortization and share based compensation. EBITDAS is not a measure of performance defined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, EBITDAS is used by management to evaluate our operating performance. Management believes that disclosure of the EBITDAS metric offers investors, regulators and other stakeholders a view of the our operations in the same manner management evaluates its performance. When combined with U.S. GAAP results, management believes EBITDAS provides a comprehensive understanding of our financial results. EBITDAS should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss) or to net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity. It may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it excludes financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. A reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income/(loss) from operations to EBITDAS is as follows:

The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and capital resources as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Some of the information contained in this discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties; therefore our "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" should be reviewed for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

 

We develop, acquire, manufacture and market technology and entertainment-based products for the gaming industry for placement on the casino floor.  Our products primarily relate to licensed casino operators’ table games activities and focus on either increasing their profitability, productivity and security or expanding their gaming entertainment offerings in the form of proprietary table games, electronically enhanced table game platforms or fully-automated electronic tables.  Our products are offered in highly regulated markets throughout the world.   Our products are manufactured at our headquarters and manufacturing facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as outsourced for certain sub-assemblies in the United States.

 

Plan of operation. See Item 1. Business and Note 1 in Item 8. for a more detailed discussion of our business, strategy and a description of each of our product categories.

 

Results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 . For the year ended December 31, 2012 our operations generated gross revenues of $7,222,550 compared to $3,684,865 in the prior year, an increase of $3,537,685 or 96%.  This material increase was due primarily to the performances of the Prime Table Game assets added to our portfolio in October 2011 and the addition of e-Tables resulting from the TableMAX transaction in February 2011. Of this revenue, $7,144,744 or 98.9% was derived from product leases and royalties in 2012, compared to $3,655,148 or 99.1% in 2011. We consider our revenues from product leases and royalties to be our recurring revenues, and expect such revenues to provide the majority of our income going forward.

 

As a result of the increased product leases and royalties, we experienced an increase in the sale or reimbursement of our products and manufactured equipment, to $77,806 in 2012 from $29,717 in 2011, an increase of $48,089 or 162%. Additionally, we increased prices on certain ancillary products. While our revenue related to products and manufactured equipment increased dramatically, our cost of ancillary products and assembled components decreased to $70,205 in 2012 from $81,482 in 2011, a decrease of $11,277 or 13.8%. The majority of this decrease was related to useful life of our leased asset costs capitalized ending in 2012. Furthermore, the increased use of volume discounts and alternative sourcing of products contributed to additional savings.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,113,502 in 2012 compared to $3,198,029 in 2011, an increase of $915,473 or 28.6%.  The increase was primarily due to increased sales related expenses including sales commissions, payroll, travel and trade shows; increases in regulatory costs associated with product approvals and gaming licenses in new jurisdictions; and increases in legal expenses associated with the ongoing legal proceedings.  Research and development expenses were $332,536 in 2012 compared to $286,142 in 2011, an increase of $46,394 or 16.2%. Our research and development costs increased due to the advancement of the Bonus Jackpot System Andromeda series. Amortization expense increased to $1,564,969 in 2012 from $435,218 in 2011, an increase of $1,129,751 or 260%. This increase in amortization relates to the full year of amortization related to the intangible assets purchased from Prime Table Games.

 

Other expenses increased to $810,947 in 2012 from $117,181 in 2011, an increase of $693,766 or 592%. The majority of these costs is the interest expense related to the Prime Table Games acquisition. Total interest expense was $882,547 for 2012, compared to $142,002 in 2011, or an increase of $740,545 or 522%. The increase in interest expense is due to interest payments related to the Prime Table Games acquisition.

 

Our net income increased to $621,726 in 2012 compared to a loss of $473,336 in 2011, or an increase of $1,095,062. The transition from a loss to profit was primarily due to the revenues derived from the Prime Table Games acquisition. Of the net income in 2012, $341,823 represents recognition of an income tax benefit as we anticipate a greater than 50% likelihood of realizing such tax benefits.

 

Liquidity and capital resources. Prior to 2012, we incurred net losses for all annual periods since inception. We have typically funded our operating costs, research and development activities, working capital investments and capital expenditures associated with our growth strategy with proceeds from the issuances of our common stock and other financing arrangements. We expect our revenues and earnings to increase in future periods, and we expect to reinvest these earnings in additional inventory and working capital to fund anticipated growth in our recurring revenue business.

 

As of December 31, 2012 we had total current assets of $2,290,724 and total assets of $22,404,946. Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2012 were $3,562,098 and total liabilities were $21,812,962. Of our current assets, we had $398,424 in cash and equivalents as of December 31, 2012. We had restricted cash of $216,964 related to jackpot liabilities. Such funds are restricted by regulatory guidelines and may not be used for operations. The corresponding jackpot liability of $222,109 has been recorded in current liabilities. The difference of $5,145 represents December’s client billing related to the player funded portion of the jackpot.

 

Our operating activities provided $2,140,911 in cash for the year ended December 31, 2012 and we used cash in operations of $273,425 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The primary component of our positive operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2012 was due to the increased profit from operations. The growth in the deferred revenue account represents our continued overall revenue growth.

14

Additionally, investing activities used cash of $62,204 for the year ended December 31, 2012, which includes acquisition of property and equipment of $18,467 and acquisition of products leased or held for lease of $47,416.

 

Cash used in financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2012 were $1,402,484, primarily relating to the Prime Table Games acquisition.

 

We intend to fund our continuing operations through increased sales and ongoing operations. Additionally, the issuance of debt or equity financing arrangements may be required to fund expenditures or other cash requirements.

 

We granted employees 802,500 shares of stock at a fair value of $0.10 per share of common stock. This was the only issuance of common stock in 2012 and we did not receive any proceeds from this grant. The grant has been recorded as share-based compensation expense and is included in selling, general & administrative expense on the statement of operations.

 

On February 24, 2011 we sold 533,333 shares of common stock and 266,667 warrants for total cash proceeds of $200,000. On October 4, 2011 we granted 2,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at $0.24 per share, as a part of the value for the acquisition of Prime Table Games’ assets.

 

Despite our prior successful funding efforts, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding, if required. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan may be impaired.  There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.  We will from time to time acquire products and businesses complementary to our business.  As a public entity, we may issue shares of our common stock and preferred stock in private or public offerings to obtain financing, capital or to acquire other businesses that can improve our performance and growth.  To the extent that we seek to acquire other businesses in exchange for our common stock, fluctuations in our stock price could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete acquisitions.

 

We restated our balance sheet, statement of stockholders’ equity and statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011. The restatement is due to a non-cash accounting adjustment related to the foreign currency translation of the note payable to Prime Table Games UK. This accounting adjustment did not have an effect on the statement of operations or our liquidity and capital resources.

 

Off balance sheet arrangements . As of December 31, 2012 there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Significant equipment. We do not anticipate the purchase of any significant equipment for the next twelve months.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

Galaxy Gaming, Inc.

Las Vegas, Nevada

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Galaxy Gaming, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Galaxy Gaming, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “Galaxy Gaming, Inc.,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company,” refers to Galaxy Gaming, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Galaxy Gaming” or “GGINC”). “GGLLC” refers to Galaxy Gaming, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company that was a predecessor of our business but is not directly associated with Galaxy Gaming, Inc.

 

History of business entities. GGINC was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 29, 2006, and acquired the business operations of several companies using the “ Galaxy Gaming ” moniker. Pursuant to these agreements, GGLLC sold selected assets, such as inventory and fixed assets, to GGINC.  On January 1, 2007, GGLLC entered into several agreements with GGINC. On December 31, 2007, GGINC acquired, through an asset purchase agreement, GGLLC’s remaining intellectual property including patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, copyrights, know-how and trade secrets related to the casino gaming services including but not limited to games, side bets, inventions and ideas. GGINC also acquired the existing client base from GGLLC.

 

Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd. Secured Diversified Investment, Ltd., a publicly held Nevada corporation (“SDI”), was served with an involuntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada, Case No. 08-16332.  The Bankruptcy Court’s Order for Relief was entered on July 30, 2008.  By order entered January 27, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed SDI’s Plan of Reorganization (“Plan”). On February 10, 2009, SDI entered into a share exchange agreement with GGINC (the “Reverse Merger”). In connection with the Reverse Merger, SDI obtained 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of GGINC and simultaneously GGINC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of SDI.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Reverse Merger and the terms of the Plan, SDI issued 25,000,000 shares of common stock pro-rata to the former shareholders of GGINC in exchange for obtaining ownership of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of GGINC”).   SDI also issued 4,000,006 shares of new common stock on a pro rata basis to its creditors in exchange for the discharge of its outstanding debts under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  All of SDI’s issued and outstanding equity interests existing prior to the Reverse Merger were extinguished and rendered null and void.  Immediately following these events there were 29,000,006 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Following the closing of the share exchange agreement, SDI discontinued all prior operations and focused exclusively on the business and operations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, GGINC.  On September 1, 2009, our Board approved a merger of SDI with its subsidiary, GGINC, pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute. §92A.180 (“Short Form Merger”) and the surviving merged company was named “Galaxy Gaming, Inc.”

 

In October 2011, we executed an asset purchase agreement (“PTG Agreement”) with Prime Table Games LLC and Prime Table Games UK (collectively “Prime Table Games” or “PTG”). Under the terms of the PTG Agreement, we acquired over 20 different table games, including 21+3, Two-way Hold'em and Three Card Poker , which are currently played on approximately 500 tables in 200 casinos in the United States, the United Kingdom and in the Caribbean ( Three Card Poker rights are limited to the British Isles). The intellectual property portfolio includes 47 patents and patents pending, 96 worldwide trademark and design registrations and 47 domain name registrations. See Note 16.

 

Description of business. We are engaged in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing and/or acquiring proprietary casino table games and associated technology, platforms and systems for the global gaming industry. Beginning in 2011, we expanded our product line with the addition of fully automated table games, known as e-Tables and separately, we entered into agreements to license our content for use by internet gaming operators. Casinos use our proprietary products to enhance their gaming floor operations and improve their profitability, productivity and security, as well as offer popular cutting-edge gaming entertainment content and technology to their players. We market our products to land-based, riverboat and cruise ship gaming establishments and to internet gaming companies. The game concepts and the intellectual property associated with these games are typically protected by patents, trademarks and/or copyrights. We market our products primarily via our internal sales force to casinos throughout North America, the Caribbean, the British Isles, Europe, Australia and to cruise ships and internet gaming sites worldwide. We currently have an installed base of our products on over 3,000 gaming tables located in over 500 casinos, which positions us as the second largest provider of proprietary table games in the world.

23

Revenues consist of primarily recurring royalties received from our clients for the licensing of our game content and other products. These recurring revenues generally have few direct costs thereby generating high gross profit margins. In lieu of reporting as gross profit , this amount would be comparable to revenues less cost of ancillary products and assembled components on our financial statements. Additionally, we receive non-recurring revenue from the sale of associated products.

 

We group our products into three product categories we classify as “Proprietary Table Games,” “Enhanced Table Systems” and “e-Tables.” Our product categories are summarized below. Additional information regarding our products may be found on our web site, www.galaxygaming.com. Information found on the web site should not be considered part of this report.

 

Proprietary Table Games. We design, develop and deliver our Proprietary Table Games to enhance our casino clients’ table game operations. Casinos use our Proprietary Table Games in lieu of those games in the public domain (e.g. Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, etc.) because of their popularity with players and to increase profitability. Our Proprietary Table Games are grouped into two product types we call “Side Bets” and “Premium Games.” Side Bets are proprietary features and wagering schemes typically added to public domain games such as poker, baccarat, pai gow poker, craps and blackjack table games. Examples of side bets include such popular titles as Lucky Ladies , 21+3 and Bonus Craps . Premium Games are unique stand-alone games with their own unique set of rules and strategies. Examples of Premium Games include such popular titles as Texas Shootout , Three Card Poker and Emperor’s Challenge . Typically, Premium Games command a higher price point per unit than Side Bets.

 

Enhanced Table Systems. Enhanced Table Systems are electronic enhancements used on casino table games to add to player appeal and enhance game security. We include in this product category our Bonus Jackpot System , our Inter-Casino Jackpot System and our MEGA-Share .

 

Our Bonus Jackpot System is designed to compete with our competitors’ progressive jackpot systems and contains special features designed to further enhance the table game player’s experience and in turn, the casino’s profit. The Bonus Jackpot System consists of two independent components known as the Bet Tabulator System , which is used to detect players’ wagers and TableVision , which is an electronic display attached to a gaming tables. Our current version of the Bonus Jackpot System is known as the “ Andromeda Series .” Advancements in the Andromeda Series includes the ability for two-way communication between gaming tables located anywhere in the world and one or more data processing centers. Currently known as our Inter-Casino Jackpot System , we believe this achievement for casino table games was the first of its kind in the world. The availability of the data processing centers is the result of an agreement we entered into with Amazon Web Services, a unit of Amazon.com. In addition, our clients may use our Andromeda Series to communicate with their data center or internal server using their private network. The Andromeda Series allows up to 16 player positions and 6 betting positions per player. The Andromeda Series was the first of its kind, allowing for the most sensors to be placed on a single gaming gable. Through the TableVision component, the Andromeda Series includes the ability to keep track of and display more than one jackpot.

 

Our Inter-Casino Jackpot System leverages the capabilities of our Bonus Jackpot System to connect and/or aggregate bonus or progressive jackpots from multiple casinos into a common network. This methodology often referred to as a “wide area progressive” has long been practiced in the slot machine industry, but was first introduced to table games in Nevada by us in April 2011.

 

MEGA-Share is a game play methodology invented by us that allows a player of one of our table games to share in the winnings of a jackpot together with other players. An example of this concept would be when multiple table game players are playing in a casino and one player obtains a winning hand entitling them to a jackpot, the event also triggers a second MEGA-Share jackpot that is divided among all players who placed a MEGA-Share qualifying wager. MEGA-Share rewards other players playing on other tables, other games, or even in other casinos with a share of a second jackpot simply for having a wager placed at the time another player won the main jackpot.

 

e-Tables. In February 2011, we entered into a definitive agreement to license the worldwide rights, excluding Oklahoma, Kentucky and the Caribbean, to the TableMAX e-Table system and simultaneously obtained the e-Table rights to the casino table games Caribbean Stud , Caribbean Draw , Progressive Blackjack , Texas Hold’em Bonus and Blackjack Bullets . See Note 16. The TableMAX e-Table system is a fully automated, multi-player electronic table game platform which does not need a human dealer. These platforms allow us to offer our Proprietary Table Game content in markets where live table games are not permitted.  The e-Table product enables automation of certain components of traditional table games such as data collection, placement of bets, collection of losing bets and payment of winning bets.  This automation provides benefits to both casino operators and players, including greater security and faster speed of play, reduced labor and other game related costs and increased profitability.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of our significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding our financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of our management team, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and have been consistently applied to the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Basis of presentation. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order for the financial statements to be not misleading have been reflected herein.

 

Basis of accounting. The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Revenues are recognized as income when earned and expenses are recognized when they are incurred. We do not have significant categories of cost as our income is recurring with high margins. Expenses such as wages, consulting expenses, legal, regulatory and professional fees and rent are recorded when the expense is incurred.

 

Cash and cash equivalents. We consider cash on hand, cash in banks, certificates of deposit, and other short-term securities with maturities of three months or less when purchased, as cash and cash equivalents. Our bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000 per account. To date, we have not experienced uninsured losses.

 

Restricted cash. We are required by gaming regulation to maintain sufficient reserves in restricted accounts to be used for the purpose of funding payments to winners of our jackpots offered. Compliance with restricted cash requirements for jackpot funding is reported to gaming authorities in various jurisdictions.

 

Inventory. Inventory consists of ancillary products such as signs, layouts, and bases for the various games and electronic devices and components to support our Enhanced Table Systems. Inventory value is determined by the average cost method and management maintains inventory levels based on historical and industry trends. We regularly assess inventory quantities for excess and obsolescence primarily based on forecasted product demand. See Note 5.

 

Products leased and held for lease. In 2011, we began to provide products whereby we maintain ownership and charge a fee for the use of the product. Since we retain title to the equipment, we classify these assets as “products leased and held for lease” and they are shown on the accompanying balance sheets. These assets are stated at cost, net of depreciation. Depreciation on leased products is calculated using the straight-line method over a three year period.

 

Property and equipment. Property and equipment are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives, 3 to 5 years, using the straight-line method of depreciation for book purposes.

 

Intellectual property and intangible assets. These intellectual property and intangible assets have finite lives and are being amortized using the straight-line method over their economic useful lives, five to thirty years. Material assets added over the past several years are as follows:

 

Client installation base 60 months
Patents 87 - 132 months
Trademarks 144 – 360 months
Client relationships 264 months

 

The intangible assets are analyzed for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

Goodwill. A goodwill balance of $1,091,000 was created as a result of the PTG asset acquisition. This asset will be assessed for impairment at least annually and if found to be impaired, its carrying amount will be reduced and an impairment loss will be recognized.

25

Impairment of long-lived assets. We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

 

Fair value of financial instruments. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, other current assets, inventory, notes receivable-related party, deferred tax assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, jackpot liabilities and notes payable approximates the carrying amount of these financial instruments due to their short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt, which approximates its carrying value, is based on current rates at which we could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities.

 

Concentration of risk. We are exposed to risks associated with clients who represent a significant portion of total revenues. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had revenues from one client account for 13.2% and 8.1% of total revenues, respectively. The amounts in accounts receivable related to this significant client at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $132,327 and $65,488, respectively.

 

Revenue recognition. Revenue is primarily derived from the licensing of our products and intellectual property.  Consistent with our strategy, revenue is generated from negotiated month-to-month recurring licensing fees or the performance of our products, or both. We also, occasionally, receive a one-time sale of certain products and/or reimbursement of our manufactured equipment.

 

Substantially, all revenue is recognized when it is earned. Depending upon the product and negotiated terms, our clients may be invoiced monthly in advance, monthly in arrears or quarterly in arrears for the licensing of our products. If billed in advance, the advance billings are recorded as deferred revenue on our balance sheet. If billed in arrears, we recognize the corresponding preceding period’s revenue upon invoicing at the subsequent date. Generally, we begin earning revenue with the installation or “go live” date of the associated product in our clients’ establishment. The monthly recurring invoices are based on executed agreements with each client.

 

Additionally, clients may be invoiced for product sales at the time of shipment or delivery of the product. Revenue from the sale of our associated products is recognized when the following criteria are met:

 

(1) Persuasive evidence of an arrangement between us and our client exists;

(2) Shipment has occurred;

(3) The price is fixed and or determinable; and

(4) Collectability is reasonably assured or probable.

 

The combination of hardware and software included in our Enhanced Table Systems and e-Tables are essential to the operation of the respective systems. As such, we do not segregate the portion of revenue between manufactured equipment and any software or electronic devices needed to use the equipment when the system is provided. We do not market the software separately from the equipment.

 

Costs of ancillary products and assembled components. Ancillary products include paytables (display of payouts), bases, layouts, signage and other items as they relate to support specific proprietary games in connection with the licensing of our games. Assembled components represent the cost of the equipment, devices and incorporated software used to support the Bonus Jackpot System .

 

Research and development. We incur research and development costs to develop our new and next-generation products. Our products reach technological feasibility shortly before the products are released and therefore R&D costs are expensed as incurred. Employee related costs associated with product development are included in R&D costs.

 

Foreign currency translation. For non-US functional accounts, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and income and expense accounts at the average exchange rates for the year. Resulting currency translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. We record foreign currency transactions at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction with resultant gains and losses being included in results of operations. Realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been significant for any period presented.

 

Income taxes. We record deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Our provision for income taxes includes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. We only recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

 

Basic income (loss) per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased by the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants, if applicable, during the year, using the treasury stock method.

 

Stock-based compensation. We measure and recognize all stock-based compensation, including restricted stock and stock-based awards to employees, under the fair value method. We measure the fair value of stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes model and restricted shares using the grant date fair value of the stock. Compensation is attributed to the periods of associated service and such expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant, with such estimate updated when the expected forfeiture rate changes.

 

Use of estimates and assumptions. We are required to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based on our historical experience, contract terms, observance of known trends in our company and the industry as a whole, and information available from other outside sources. Our estimates affect reported amounts for assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from initial estimates.

 

Reclassifications. Certain accounts and financial statement captions in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statements.

 

Recently adopted accounting standards - adopted

 

Fair value measurements disclosure. In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update that clarifies and amends the existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This guidance became effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted the provisions of the guidance in the first quarter of 2012. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

Comprehensive income. In June 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) that eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in equity and now requires an entity to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance also required companies to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income, but in December 2011, the FASB issued an ASU that deferred this requirement. The guidance became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted the provisions of the guidance in 2012 and elected to present items of net income and other comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements.

 

New accounting standards not yet adopted

 

Qualitative impairment assessment for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles. In July 2012, the FASB issued an ASU that gives an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. This guidance was effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, which will be our fiscal year 2013. We do not expect the adoption of the guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating lease obligations. We lease our offices from a related party that is connected with our CEO. We entered into a lease effective September 1, 2010 for a period of two years with a monthly rental payment of $10,359. Our lease expired at the end of August 2012 and is currently on a term of month-to-month. In addition to our offices, we rent various temporary storage facilities in the range of $150 to $460 a month. All temporary facilities have rental agreements with a monthly term. Rent expense was $141,598 and $130,300 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Based upon our current growth projections, we anticipate either renewing our existing lease agreement and/or expanding our operations with a lease of a second office, or in the alternative, we may elect to not renew our existing lease and seek an entirely new facility sometime in 2013. The amounts shown in the accompanying table reflect our estimates of lease obligations for the twelve months ending 2013 through 2017 and are based upon our current estimates of our projected needs and our forecast of the commercial real estate market in Las Vegas. These estimates are summarized as follows:

 

Twelve Months Ended December 31,   Annual Obligation
(Estimate)
  2013     $ 158,184  
  2014       218,700  
  2015       229,635  
  2016       241,116  
  2017       253,170  
  Thereafter       838,034  
       Total Estimated Lease Obligations     $ 1,938,839  

 

Legal proceedings. From time to time, in the normal course of operations, we are a party to litigation matters and administrative claims by private parties or industry regulators. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict and our view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold. We expense legal fees as incurred. We record a provision for contingent losses when it is both probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount or range of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Except as otherwise stated below, we have concluded that we cannot estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss, including reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts already accrued, for each specific matter disclosed below. An unfavorable outcome to any legal matter, if material, could have an adverse effect on our operations or our financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

 

California administrative licensing action In March 2003, Galaxy Gaming of California, LLC (“GGCA”), then a subsidiary of GGLLC, submitted an application to the California Gambling Control Commission (the “Commission”) for a determination of suitability for licensure to do business with tribal gaming operations in California. At the time, our CEO was a member of GGCA and was required to be included in the application process. The Division of Gambling Control of the California Department of Justice (“Division”) processed the application and in 2005 made an initial recommendation to the Commission alleging GGCA was unsuitable. Claiming the information compiled by the Division was inaccurate and the process seriously flawed and biased, GGCA and our CEO, requested the Commission assign an administrative law judge to further adjudicate the process in December 2006. The Commission granted their request and required the Division to first submit a statement of issues (“SOI”) against GGCA, which was filed in October 2009.

 

In February 2009, we independently applied to the Commission for a finding of suitability. We also sought the abandonment of the GGCA application. Since the Division (subsequently renamed the “ Bureau of Gambling Control”), named our CEO in the SOI, the Commission decided to not process our application until resolution of the administrative action relating to GGCA. It also did not act upon our request to abandon the GGCA application. During these proceedings, we are entitled to conduct business in California, provided that we obtain the requisite authorization with each tribe in California either through obtainment of an appropriate license or an exempt status determination. Total revenues derived from California for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, were $276,727 and $177,402, respectively. Our ability to continue to conduct business in California could be contingent upon a successful resolution of the action against GGCA.  Accordingly, we decided to vigorously defend the administrative action, seek the abandonment of the GGCA application and seek an independent finding of suitability with the Commission.

31

The GGCA administrative action remains pending. Hearings before the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) concluded in February 2012, and closing briefs were filed in November 2012. It is anticipated the ALJ will present her findings to the Commission, which will ultimately decide the matter, subject to judicial review. An adverse decision could prevent us from conducting business in California and potentially pay reasonable costs of the investigation and prosecution of the case. Although the action is against our CEO and GGCA, it is unknown whether the Bureau will attempt to seek reimbursement against us or whether such reimbursement would be granted. An adverse finding of suitability could also influence other gaming regulatory agencies and negatively affect our ability to conduct business in those jurisdictions. We believe the allegations against GGCA and our CEO are baseless and entirely without merit and intend to continue to vigorously respond to this action.

 

Sherron Associates settlement . In October 2011, we and our CEO entered into a settlement agreement (“Sherron Settlement”) with Sherron Associates, Inc. (“Sherron”). In connection with the Sherron Settlement, we agreed to pay Sherron the sum of $150,000 in monthly installments in the amount of $7,500 per month starting November 2011 and with scheduled increases over the course of one year to a maximum of $17,500 per month. The obligation was memorialized by a promissory note, at zero percent interest. We recorded a provision for litigation settlement of $150,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. In addition, the Sherron Settlement required our CEO to pay either the sum of $350,000 by June 1, 2012 or $375,000 by November 1, 2012. We and our CEO separately complied with our respective obligations contained within the Sherron Settlement and the matter is now concluded.

 

Reel Games, Inc. dismissal. In November 2011, we were served with a complaint by Reel Games, Inc. (“Reel Games”) in the United States District Court Southern District of Florida, alleging amongst other things, misappropriations of trade secrets, breach of confidence, fraud and intentional interference with contract. Reel Games claimed that the value of the information misappropriated alone was in excess of $1 million. The allegations stemmed from a mutual non-disclosure and non-circumvention agreement executed by the parties in May 2010, in connection with us evaluating the acquisition of certain assets of Reel Games. In December 2011, we filed a Motion for Dismissal and in October 2012, the District Court dismissed the action with prejudice. Other than the attorney fees incurred by us in the litigation, we paid no consideration to Reel Games or any other party.

 

Unax Gaming settlement . In early 2012, we filed a complaint against UNAX Service, LLC (“UNAX Gaming”) for patent infringement. In May 2012, we entered into a settlement agreement with UNAX Gaming. As a result of the UNAX Settlement, UNAX Gaming assigned all of its rights and interest in the games “ Double Action Blackjack ” and “ Squeezit Blackjack ” which were deemed to have infringed on several patents held by us. The UNAX Settlement also called for UNAX Gaming to reimburse us $20,000 for court costs and attorney fees. Additionally, we received a note receivable from UNAX Gaming in the amount of $50,000. The note receivable bore annual interest of 6% and payments of interest only were to be made monthly, starting on June 1, 2012. The note receivable required payments of principal in the amount of $25,000 to be paid on or before December 31, 2012 and $25,000 on or before June 30, 2014. The note receivable had a provision whereby the second principal payment due in June 2014 would be forgiven if UNAX Gaming complied with all terms of the UNAX Settlement and makes all other interest and principal payments timely. In the event UNAX Gaming failed to make any of the foregoing payments on the dates specified, all remaining payments would have become immediately due and subject to payment of interest beginning immediately at an annual rate of 10%. As of December 31, 2012 UNAX Gaming paid in full the outstanding balance.

 

Washington administrative notice. In March 2012, we received a notice of administrative charges from the Washington State Gambling Commission ("Commission") as a result of a routine audit conducted by them in 2010.  The notice involves alleged untimely notifications, predominantly by predecessor companies.  We continue to communicate with Commission officials and the matter remains pending. Our executive leadership team believes the matter will be resolved without material effect to our business operations in Washington. We could be subject to fines, reimbursement of the commission's investigative costs or harsher sanctions if unsuccessful. For the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, Washington revenues were $1,148,242 and $1,154,925, respectively.

 

Bank of America action. In October 2012, we were served with a complaint by Bank of America (“BofA”) regarding a promissory note payable between GGLLC and BofA. See Note 10. The complaint alleges we received valuable assets from GGLLC in 2007 for little or no consideration. We obtained these assets as a part of the asset purchase agreement from GGLLC for fair and just compensation and have at all times been fully compliant with our obligations to GGLLC. We have never been a party to any agreement with BofA and deny any and all liability to them. In November 2012, we filed our answer to their complaint and additionally, we filed a counter-lawsuit against BofA claiming Slander of Business, Abuse of Process, Breach of Contract and Detrimental Promissory Reliance. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter and pursue all available remedies against BofA, including but not limited to, recovery of damages caused by them. Our executive leadership team believes the matter will be resolved favorably and without material effect to our business, however, we could be subject to penalty interest and acceleration of the outstanding amount if unsuccessful.

NOTE 12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

We had 65,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock and 10,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock authorized as of December 31, 2012.

 

In 2011, we issued 533,333 shares and stock warrants of 266,667 generating cash proceeds of $200,000 that was used to fund ongoing operations. As a part of the asset acquisition of Prime Table Games in October 2011, a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $480,000 were issued to the two owners..

 

Additionally, in March 2012, our Board of Directors approved a stock grant for a small group of employees that granted 802,500 shares of restricted common stock valued at $0.10 per share. There were 38,310,591 common shares and no preferred shares issued and -0- outstanding at December 31, 2012.

 

NOTE 13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

We lease our offices from a related party that is related to our CEO. The lease was entered into effective September 1, 2010 for a period of two years requiring a monthly rental payment of $10,359. Our lease expired at the end of August 2012 and is currently on a term of month-to-month.

 

We paid legal fees directly to the law firm retained by our CEO.  The law firm was engaged in 2009, 2010 and 2011 for the express purpose of defending the Sherron litigation.  We believed this strategy to vacate the underlying judgment was a faster, surer and less expensive method to defend the Sherron litigation, than other alternatives available to us.  Total fees from this law firm charged to expense were $0 and $61,887 for 2012 and 2011, respectively. We anticipate no further legal fees pertaining to the Sherron litigation as a result of the settlement. See Note 11.

 

We have a note receivable from a related party totaling $388,261 and $391,940 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. See Note 3.

 

We have a note payable to a related party. See Note 10.

 

Certain administrative, accounting and legal support services are performed by a related party of the CEO. We accrued or paid fees to the related party in the amount of $29,875 and $24,175 in the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

NOTE 14. INCOME TAXES

 

The components of the provision (benefit) consist of the following:

 

    2012
  Current:          
     Federal     $ (51,655 )
             
  Deferred:          
     Federal       (290,168 )
  Total     $ (341,823 )

 

33

The income tax provision (benefit) differs from that computed using the federal statutory rate applied to income before taxes as follows:

 

    2012
   Tax provision/(benefit) computed at the federal statutory rate   $ 97,966  
   Allowance for doubtful accounts     (737 )
   Inventories     1,021  
   Employee benefits     (1,688 )
   Share based compensation     6,616  
   Fixed assets     10,434  
   Intangible assets     35,651  
   Permanent items     5,570  
   Research and development credit     11,639  
   Net operating loss     (166,472 )
   Valuation allowance     (341,823 )
          Income tax provision (benefit)   $ (341,823 )

 

Significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2012 are shown below.

 

    2012
Deferred Tax Assets:        
   Allowance for doubtful accounts   $ 15,478  
   Inventories     11,513  
   Employee benefits     17,832  
   Share based compensation     6,616  
   Fixed assets     47,949  
   Foreign tax credits     48,986

   Net operating losses     255,982  
   Other     736  
   Total deferred tax assets before valuation allowance     436,894  
   Valuation allowance     (48,986 )
         Total deferred tax assets     387,908  
         
Deferred Tax Liabilities:        
   Fixed assets     10,434  
   Intangible assets     35,651  
          Total deferred tax liabilities     46,085  
Net deferred tax assets   $ 341,823  

 

We have a previous net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $1,207,000. Any income will be netted against this loss carry-forward, with the remainder to be used through the year 2028 to offset future taxable income. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward for income tax purposes may differ from the cumulative financial statement loss due to permanent differences and timing differences between book and tax reporting. Additionally, we have a foreign tax credit carry-forward of approximately $49,000 that can be used in the future to offset federal income tax owed.

 

We periodically review the need for a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets based upon earnings history and trends.

NOTE 15. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

Warrant activity. We issued 266,667 warrants in connection with the sale of common stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. We have accounted for these warrants as equity instruments in accordance with EITF 00-19 (ASC 815-40) Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock , and as such, will be classified in stockholders’ equity as they meet the definition of “…indexed to the issuer’s stock” in EITF 01-06 (ASC 815-40) The Meaning of Indexed to a Company’s Own Stock . We have estimated the fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the sale of common stock at $42,549 for the year ended December 31, 2011, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

    Warrants issued year ended
December 31, 2011
Dividend yield     0 %
Expected volatility     146 %
Risk free interest rate     0.66 %
Expected life (in years)     3.00  

 

A summary of warrant activity is as follows:

 

    Common Stock Warrants   Weighted Average Exercise Price
  Outstanding – January 1, 2011       1,750,715     $ 0.45

Stock options. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we issued 285,000 and 323,750 stock options, respectively. Stock options issued to members of our Board of Directors were 185,000 and 323,750 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For our Board of Directors, the stock options were valued at the fair market value of the services performed that resulted in an expense of $8,000 and $12,000 for each year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

In July 2012, we issued our Chief Financial Officer 100,000 stock options at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the trading day prior to the grant date ($0.25). The stock options granted were calculated to have a fair value of $17,415 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

    Options issued year ended
December 31, 2012
Dividend yield     0 %
Expected volatility     118 %
Risk free interest rate     0.33 %
Expected life (years)     3.00  

 

During the year ended December 31, 2011, we issued 22,500 stock options each year as part of the employment agreement with our prior CFO, who subsequently terminated his employment. Because the options were nullified as a result of his resignation, the expense was reversed as of December 31, 2011.

 

The cost of the options issued to the members of our Board of Directors and our Chief Financial Officer have been classified as share based compensation for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 16. ASSET ACQUISITIONS AND SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

 

Acquisition of Prime Table Games’ assets. In October 2011, we executed an asset purchase agreement (the “PTG Agreement”) with Prime Table Games LLC and Prime Table Games UK (collectively “Prime Table Games”). Under the terms of the PTG Agreement we acquired over 20 different table games, including 21+3 , Two-way Hold'em and Three Card Poker which are currently played on approximately 500 tables in 200 casinos in the United States, the United Kingdom and in the Caribbean ( Three Card Poker rights are limited to the British Isles). The intellectual property portfolio includes 36 patents, 11 patents pending, 96 worldwide trademark and design registrations and 47 domain name registrations. The two principals of Prime Table Games also executed with us a non-compete agreement.

 

We accounted for the asset purchase as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the purchase date and be recorded on the balance sheet regardless of the likelihood of success of the related product or technology. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates. Transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred and were expensed as incurred. The PTG Agreement related transaction costs expensed for the year ended December 31, 2011 were approximately $20,000.

 

Consideration Transferred. The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following items:

 

Common stock – 2,000,000 shares   $ 480,000  
Note payable – Prime Table Games LLC     12,200,000  
Note payable – Prime Table Games UK     10,000,000  
Total   $ 22,680,000  

 

The note payable to Prime Table Games UK is in the amount of £6,400,000 (GBP). At the closing of the acquisition, the parties agreed to a conversion rate of one United States Dollar is equal to 64/100 British Pound Sterling, ($1.00USD = £0.64GBP). Interest on the promissory notes was 0% in 2011. The fair value of the notes, net of the debt discount was $20,670,000. The rate increases to 3% in 2012 and increases at 1% per year thereafter to maximum of 9%. Payments on each of the notes are as follows:

 

Prime Table Games LLC. Monthly payments are due under this note, commencing with $100,000 due on or before January 28, 2012. Subsequent payments are due on the 28th day of each month and the payment amount shall increase to $130,000 per month beginning 16 months after the closing, $160,000 per month beginning in 28 months, $190,000 per month beginning in 40 months and $220,000 beginning in 52 months until fully paid.

 

Prime Table Games UK. Monthly payments are due under this note, commencing with £64,000 due on or before January 28, 2012. Subsequent payments are due on the 28th day of each month and the payment amount shall increase to £76,800 per month beginning 16 months after the closing, £89,600 per month beginning in 28 months, £102,400 per month beginning in 40 months, £115,200 per month in 52 months until fully paid.

36

In the event future monthly revenue received by us from the “Assets,” as defined in the Prime Agreement is less than 90% of the notes monthly payment due to Prime Table Games, then the note payments may, at our option, be adjusted to the higher of $100,000 per month (for the Prime Table Games LLC note) and £64,000 per month (for the Prime Table Games UK note) or 90% of the monthly revenue amount. If we engage in this payment adjustment election, the note shall not be deemed in default and the interest rate of the note will increase 2% per annum for the duration of the note or until the standard payment schedule resumes.

 

The notes are collateralized by the all of the assets acquired from Prime Table Games LLC and Prime Table Games UK.

 

Fair value estimate of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The total purchase consideration is allocated to Prime Table Games intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date. The allocation of the total purchase price to the net assets acquired is as follows:

 

Patents   $ 13,259,000  
Customer relationships     3,400,000  
Trademarks     2,740,000  
Debt discount     1,530,000  
Goodwill     1,091,000  
Non-compete agreement     660,000  
Total   $ 22,680,000  

 

Acquisition of Lakes Entertainment’s assets. In November 2011, we entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Lakes Agreement”) with Lakes Entertainment, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Lakes”). Under the Lakes Agreement, we acquired certain business assets of Lakes. The acquisition includes a portfolio of patented casino table games, including Bonus Craps , Four The Money , Rainbow Poker , and Roulette Craps , together with an assignment of the Lakes’ rights under existing licensing agreements with various casinos throughout the United States. The assignment of some of the contractual rights included in the acquisition will require the consent of the licensee and may be subject to customary regulatory approvals.

 

The purchase price was $1 plus additional revenue sharing payments (“Contingent Consideration”), which we are obligated to pay. The Contingent Consideration is based upon differing percentages of the gross revenues generated by the acquired assets following the acquisition. Under the Lakes Agreement, Lakes has retained a perpetual, royalty-free license to install and offer for play any of the assigned casino games in any casino owned or managed by Lakes. The Lakes Agreement allows us the option at any time to buy-out Lakes’ right to the Contingent Consideration. In the event an agreed amount of Contingent Consideration has been not received within 18 months after the closing of the Lakes Agreement, Lakes will have the option to re-acquire all assets assigned under the Lakes Agreement and to collect all revenue generated by such assets going forward. In connection with the Lakes Agreement, Lakes has executed a non-competition agreement restricting Lakes participation in any business whose products are substantially similar to the casino games acquired by us under the Lakes Agreement for a period of two years.

 

TableMAX agreement . In February 2011, we entered into a definitive agreement (“TMAX Agreement”) with TableMAX Corporation (“TMAX”) a provider of electronic table games and platforms headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and a principal investor in TMAX.  Under the terms of the TMAX Agreement, we have exclusive worldwide rights (excluding one international territory and two U.S. states) to the TMAX electronic gaming platform and certain game titles.  We created an operating division (the “TableMAX Division”) which conducts sales, distribution, marketing, engineering, sub-licensing and manufacturing related to the TMAX products and related intellectual property.  The TableMAX Division is wholly owned by us and is not considered owned by, related to, a joint venture partner of or an agent of TMAX in any manner.  The term of the TMAX Agreement is five years.  At any time during the term of the TMAX Agreement, either TMAX or we may make a written offer to purchase the sole ownership of the TableMAX Division.  Such offer shall be subject to the parties’ mutual agreement and neither party shall be under any obligation to accept such an offer.  If such an agreement has not been consummated within six months of the expiration of the TMAX Agreement, then each party must indicate to the other party no later than six months from the scheduled expiration of the TMAX Agreement, their intent to renew the TMAX Agreement for a term of at least one year, or terminate.

 

TMAX agreed to assign, for the term of the TMAX Agreement, all of its existing gaming installations and usable inventory to the TableMAX Division.  We agreed to furnish our intellectual property relating to our table game content for use by the TableMAX Division, royalty-free for the term of the TMAX Agreement.  The TMAX Agreement specifies annual performance targets whereby we are required, on a cumulative basis, to have minimum table placements.  If we fail to meet the performance criteria as defined in the TMAX Agreement, we will be required to pay TMAX the difference between TMAX’s share of the actual profit obtained by the TableMAX Division and the estimated profit that would have been obtained if the minimum performance criteria had been obtained.

37

We are responsible for the losses of the TableMAX Division however, TMAX has agreed to reimburse us during the first 12 months from the date of the TMAX Agreement for operating expenses of the TableMAX Division up to a maximum of $600,000. Subsequent to the 12 months anniversary of the TMAX Agreement, TMAX notified us that they would continue to reimburse us for the losses attributed with the TableMAX Division through December 31, 2012. Net profits from the TableMAX Division will be split between TMAX and us on a sliding scale basis dependent upon the number of TableMAX Division table installations and profit results as defined in the TMAX Agreement. While TMAX has not agreed to reimbursement of losses subsequent to December 31, 2012, we have not experienced significant losses attributable to the TableMAX Division.

 

Included in other current assets is $38,925 representing reimbursement due from TMAX at December 31, 2012.

 

NOTE 17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Bank of America Update. In February 2013, The Alix Saucier Regulatory Trust (also a party to the complaint filed by Bank of America) filed a motion to dismiss based on the arbitration clause in the original agreement with Bank of America. The motion was converted from a dismissal to a stay of the proceedings and the court ordered all parties to arbitration. Additionally, Bank of America sought a dismissal of our counter-complaints and no action was taken on their motion as the court asked us to provide further detailed information to substantiate our counter-complaints.

 

In accordance with ASC 855-10, we have analyzed our operations subsequent to December 31, 2012 to the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that we do not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements other than the events discussed above.

 

NOTE 18. CORRECTION OF ERRORS AND RESTATEMENTS

 

We have restated our ending balances for 2011, as well as the balance sheet, statement of stockholders’ equity, and statement of cash flows for 2011 to correct an error in our accounting. The error relates to an adjustment for foreign currency translation of the notes payable balance to Prime Table Games UK, which is recorded in the functional currency pound sterling. The adjustment records an unrealized translation adjustment to the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) account. There was no effect on the statement of operations.

 

The following are the previous and corrected balances for the year ended December 31, 2011:

Disclosure controls and procedures include without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and Treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our CEO and CFO carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012. Based on their evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO and effected by our Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our Board and management; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  Based on this evaluation under the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.

Gary A. Vecchiarelli is our Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Treasurer and Secretary. Mr. Vecchiarelli has over thirteen years of professional experience in accounting and finance. Most of Mr. Vecchiarelli’s career has been in public accounting with two national accounting firms. Early in his career, Mr. Vecchiarelli worked with Crawford, Pimentel & Co., Inc, a regional firm based in San Jose, CA and national firm McGladrey & Pullen, LLP from 2003 to 2008.

Mr. Daniel Scott and Mr. Richard Baldwin were outside Directors who resigned in March 2012 and October 2012, respectively.

 

Our bylaws authorize no less than one and no more than fifteen directors.  We currently have two directors.

 

Term of office. Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws.  Our officers are appointed by our Board and hold office until removed by the Board.

 

Family relationships. There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.

 

Director or officer involvement in certain legal proceedings. To the best of our knowledge, except as described below, during the past five years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director or executive officer of the Company: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of any competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

 

None.

 

Committees of the Board. We do not currently have an executive committee or stock plan committee.

40

Audit committee. We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee.  The entire Board performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the Board when performing the functions of what would generally be performed by an audit committee.  The Board approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the Board reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.

 

Nominating committee. Our Board does not maintain a nominating committee. As a result, no written charter governs the director nomination process.  The size of our Board, at this time, does not require a separate nominating committee.

 

When evaluating director nominees, our directors consider the following factors:

 

(1) The appropriate size of our Board;

(2) Our needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of our directors;

(3) The knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including experience in finance, administration or public service, in light of prevailing business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of the Board;

(4) Experience in political affairs;

(5) Experience with accounting rules and practices; and

(6) The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new Board members.

 

Our goal is to assemble a Board that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience.  In doing so, the Board will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds. Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Board may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in our best interests as well as our stockholders.  In addition, the Board identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue in service.  Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination.  If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service or if the Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Board then identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above.  Current members of the Board are polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria described above.  The Board may also engage in research to identify qualified individuals.  To date, we have not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although we reserve the right in the future to retain a third party search firm, if necessary.  The Board does not typically consider shareholder nominees because it believes that our current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors who serve our best interests.

 

Section 16(a) beneficial ownership reporting compliance. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities.  Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.  To the best of our knowledge based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 (and any amendments thereof) received by us during or with respect to the year ended December 31, 2012, the following persons have failed to file, on a timely basis, the identified reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal year ended December 2012:

 

Name and principal position  

Number of late reports

Transactions not timely reported

Known failures to file a required form

Robert B. Saucier, CEO   1 1 0
Gary A. Vecchiarelli, CFO   1 1 0
William O’Hara, COO   n/a n/a n/a
Dan Scott, director   n/a n/a n/a
Rich Baldwin, director   n/a n/a n/a

 

Code of Ethics. As of December 31, 2012, we had not adopted a Code of Ethics for Financial Executives, which would include our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Compensation discussion and analysis. Our current executive compensation system consists of cash compensation to the executive officers, who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management and continuing development of our business.

 

We presently do not have an employment agreement or any fixed policy regarding compensation of Robert Saucier, our CEO.  Currently, Mr. Saucier receives cash compensation of approximately $120,000 per year, which was raised to that level as of January 1, 2012. As our founder, Mr. Saucier holds a strong entrepreneurial interest in developing and expanding our business to the best of his ability.

 

In connection with Mr. Vecchiarelli’s appointment as Chief Financial Officer, on July 1, 2012, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Vecchiarelli extending through the period ended on June 30, 2015. Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Vecchiarelli will be paid a base salary as indicated below:

 

    Monthly Gross Salary   Annualized
  July 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012     $ 10,000     $ 120,000  
  January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013     $ 11,000     $ 132,000  
  As of July 1, 2013     $ 12,500     $ 150,000  

 

Additionally, Mr. Vecchiarelli will be eligible for incentive bonus compensation up to 50% of his base salary. The basis and methodology for receiving an incentive bonus will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. Mr. Vecchiarelli also received a grant of 100,000 options to purchase our common stock, with the strike price of the options to be determined based on the closing price of our common stock on the day prior to his hire date. Such options will vest over three years as follows: 33% on the first anniversary (July 1, 2013) and in equal monthly installments for the remaining 24 months.

 

Our COO, William O’Hara, is party to a three-year employment agreement with us. The initial three-year term expired in February 2011, however Mr. O’Hara continues to be represented by the agreement.  Mr. O’Hara’s compensation arrangement consists of a base annual salary together with a potential monthly bonus to be awarded for those months in which we achieve higher sales figures than in any previous month.  The objective of this arrangement is to provide Mr. O’Hara with an incentive for him to lead the operations towards a continually expanding revenue base.

4
 

 

Month Payable Monthly Gross Recurring Revenue  Increase Incentive
February and March 2008 No Incentive payable
April 2008 based on increase in March 2008 15% of Monthly  Gross Recurring Revenue Increase
May 2008 based on increase in April 2008 15% of Monthly Gross Recurring Revenue Increase
June 2008 based on increase in May 2008 15% of Monthly  Gross Recurring Revenue Increase
July 2008 based on increase in June 2008 12.5% of Monthly Gross Recurring  Revenue Increase
August 2008 based on increase in July 2008 12.5% of Monthly  Gross Recurring  Revenue  Increase
