LIGHTNING GAMING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements


June 30, 2010





Note 1.   Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies





Nature of Business:





On January 29, 2008, under the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 28, 2007, Lightning Gaming, Inc. (formerly known as  Red Pearl Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) completed a merger (the "Merger") with Lightning Poker, Inc. (“Lightning Poker”), as a result of which Lightning Poker became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.





Lightning Poker was formed to manufacture and market a variety of gaming products  to commercial and tribal casinos, card clubs, other gaming and lottery venues, bars and restaurants and the home market. The major product to date is a fully automated, proprietary electronic poker table  (the “System”)  The System is designed to improve economics for casino operators while improving overall player experience.





In 2009 the Company commenced the design, manufacture, marketing, sale and operation of video and reel spinning gaming machines to customers in various legalized gaming  jurisdictions. The current products are (i) a Video SCRABBLE bonus slot machine (ii) a multi rack Scrabble slot machine and (iii) SCRABBLE  Gems and POPEYE  slot machines.





The Company routinely enters into license agreements for the use of intellectual properties and technologies in its products. These agreements generally provide for royalty advances and license fee payments when the agreements are signed and minimum commitments which are cancellable in certain circumstances.








Basis of Presentation:





The unaudited interim financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2010 (“Form 10-K”). The accompanying interim financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of  Article 8.03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, accordingly, do not include all the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles with respect to annual financial statements. The interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Company’s accounting practices described in the Form 10-K but have not been audited. In management’s opinion, the financial statements include all adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations for the periods presented. The balance sheet data as of December 31, 2009 were derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.





There were no material changes during the most recent fiscal quarter in the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Form 10-K.





The allowance for doubtful accounts at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $229,162.

Note 1.   Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)




Basis of Presentation (continued):





The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes realization of all assets and settlement or payment of all liabilities in the ordinary course of business. We have limited capital resources, net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since the


Company’s inception and expect these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. The generation of cash flow sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs in the future will depend on the Company’s ability to obtain the regulatory approvals required to distribute the System  and  gaming machines and successfully market our products  to more casinos and card clubs. The Company believes it will be able to support its operations for the foreseeable future.





However, if sales of its products do not meet, or the Company’s expenses exceed, the Company’s projections, the Company may need to raise additional funds through an offering of securities or a credit facility. If that becomes necessary, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain such financing on reasonable and feasible terms. If the Company needs additional funding and is unable to obtain it, the Company’s financial condition would be adversely affected. In that event, the Company would have to postpone or discontinue planned operations and projects. The Company’s continuance as a going concern is dependent upon these factors, among others. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company has received assurance from a major stockholder to support its operations for 2010 should such support become necessary.





Recent Accounting Pronouncements





In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on subsequent events. The guidance establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  The guidance is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on  the Company.





In June 2009, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.The Hierarchy names the FASBAccounting Standards Codification ("ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting and reporting standards in the United States, in addition to guidance issued by the SEC.  The ASC is a restructuring of accounting and reporting standards designed to simplify user access to all authoritative GAAP by providing the authoritative literature in a topically organized structure.  The ASC reduces the GAAP hierarchy to two levels, one that is authoritative and one that is not.  The ASC is not intended to change GAAP or any requirements of the SEC.  The ASC became authoritative upon its release on July 1, 2009 and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.





In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The guidance addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. We plan to adopt the guidance effective January 1, 2011 and we do not expect it to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.





In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. The guidance reduces the types of transactions that fall within the current scope of software revenue recognition guidance. Existing software revenue recognition guidance requires that its provisions









9





Note 1.   Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)





Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)




be applied to an entire arrangement when the sale of any products or services containing or utilizing software when the software is considered more than incidental to the product or service. As a result of the amendments included in the guidance, many tangible products and services that rely on software will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance rather than under the software revenue recognition guidance. Under this new guidance, the following components would be excluded from the scope of software revenue recognition guidance: the tangible element of the product, software products bundled with tangible products where the software components and non-software components function together to deliver the product's essential functionality, and undelivered components that relate to software that is essential to the tangible product's functionality. The guidance also addresses how to allocate transaction consideration when an arrangement contains both deliverables within the scope of software guidance (software deliverables) and deliverables not within the scope of that guidance (non-software deliverables). This guidance will be effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We may elect to adopt the provisions prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements beginning on the effective date or retrospectively for all periods presented. However, we must elect the same transition method for this guidance as that chosen for revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. We are currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.





On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the FASB guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures which adds disclosure requirements about transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about activity relating to Level 3 measurements and clarifies existing disclosure requirements related to the level of disaggregation and input and valuation techniques. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2008, the Company entered into a capital lease obligation to finance the purchase of a recreational vehicle.  Annual payments, including interest, under the capital lease were $22,152. The capital lease was secured by the vehicle and a certificate of deposit in the amount of $40,000. The certificate of deposit was included in other assets at December 31, 2009. In March 2010 the Company sold the recreational vehicle and the proceeds were used to repay the capital lease.





In February, 2010 a lender exchanged its $1,000,000 note due in 2010 plus accrued interest of $206,273 for 500,000 shares of Series A Nonvoting Capital Stock.





Also, in February, 2010 the Company entered into a $2,000,000 three-year loan agreement with interest at 8% per annum.  At the discretion of the lenders, all principal and interest outstanding on the loan may be converted into shares of the Company's capital stock issued in the Company's next equity financing

at the same price and upon the same terms as the shares issued in the next equity financing.  In connection with the loan the Company issued warrants to purchase $2,000,000 worth of shares of the Company's capital stock at an exercise price equal to $2.00 per share.  The warrants are exercisable through February 22, 2015.





In accordance with various loans obtained by the Company, the lenders hold warrants to purchase 7,009,145 shares of the Company’s common stock at any time through February, 2015 at prices ranging between $1.10 and $2.00 per share.  The purchase prices are subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the respective warrant agreements.  The Company accounts for the value of these warrants in the same manner used for stock-based compensation. Expense recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 and six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30,2009 related  to these warrants was  $23,450, $61,017, $80,711  and $122,035, respectively, and was included in interest expense.

Note 7.   Stockholders’ Deficit





Stockholders’ deficit includes the following transactions:





Stock Options:  In 2007 the Company adopted the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”) to enable the Company to offer key employees, consultants and directors equity interests in the Company, thereby helping to attract, retain and motivate such persons to exercise their best efforts on behalf of the Company.  Stock options under the Stock Plan are granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors (acting as the Company’s Compensation Committee). The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable under the Stock Plan is 2,500,000.  The exercise price of each option will be determined by the Board of Directors at the time the option is granted, but in no event will be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock at the time of grant.  Options granted will not be exercisable after 10 years from the grant date.





Options generally vest at 20% per year starting from the grant date and are fully vested after five years.  The options can be exercised in partial or full amounts upon a change in control and at such other times as specified in the award agreements.





Options granted   under the Stock Plan  are accounted for  under the FASB guidance for share- based payments.  Accordingly, compensation costs  recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 and six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 were $27,061, $29,216, $57,971 and $56,822, respectively.

Included in the options outstanding at  December 31, 2009 are options for 115,200 shares granted outside the Stock Plan. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Expected volatility is based upon publicly traded companies with characteristics similar to those of the Company.  The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model.  The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

As of June 30, 2010, there was approximately $246,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Stock Plan.  The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.75 years.





Warrants:  In accordance with the loans obtained by the Company (Note 5), the lenders hold warrants to purchase 7,009,145 shares of the Company’s common stock at any time through February 2015 at prices ranging between $1.10 and $2.00 per share.  The purchase price is subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the respective warrant agreements.  The Company accounts for the value of these warrants in the same manner used for stock-based compensation.

Note 8.   Income Taxes





The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of the FASB guidance on accounting for income taxes.  The guidance provides for the recognition and measurement of deferred income tax benefits and liabilities based on the likelihood of their realization in future years.  A valuation allowance must be established to reduce deferred income tax benefits if it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred benefits will not be realized.





As of June 30, 2010, the Company has available, for federal and state income tax purposes, net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $11,400,000, which expire at various times through 2030.  The utilization of the NOL carryforwards is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate sufficient taxable income during the carryforward periods.  The NOL carryforwards are also subject to certain limitations on their utilization should changes in Company ownership occur. The Company has not recognized any tax carryforward benefits in the financial statements.





Note 9. Related Party Transactions





During 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010 the Company borrowed $14,500,000 under various loan agreements with The Co Investment Fund II LP (“CI II”), SIG  and Stewart Greenebaum, LLC (“Greenebaum”). CI II, and Greenebaum each  beneficially owned more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of June 30, 2010. CI II is managed by Cross Atlantic Capital Partners Inc. (“Cross Atlantic”) and Donald Caldwell, a director of the Company,  is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cross Atlantic  and  Frederick Tecce, also a director of the Company, is a  managing director and of counsel of Cross Atlantic.  In connection with those loans, the Company issued warrants to CI II, SIG and Greenebaum to purchase a total of 7,901,385 shares of common stock. The aggregate fair market value of the warrants at the respective times that the Company issued them was $953,030. In addition, principal and interest on certain notes in the amount of $8,599,123 at June 30, 2010 are convertible into shares of common stock on the same terms and conditions of the next equity offering. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, interest on the CI II Loans amounted to $210,000, $190,000, $408,164 and  $380,000, respectively . During 2010 and 2009, we made no principal payments on the loans.





In February 2010 we borrowed $1,000,000 from CI II and $1,000,000 from Greenebaum and we issued to each lender a warrant to purchase up to 500,000 shares of common stock at $2 per share. The loans were for a three-year term, with interest at 8% per annum. The aggregate fair market value of the warrants at the time we issued them was $99,980.





In February 2010, Greenebaum and we entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement under which a $1,000,000 note that Lightning Poker issued to Greenebaum in 2007 was converted into 500,000 shares of our Series A Nonvoting Capital Stock. All amounts payable under that note were canceled. Our Nonvoting Stock participates with, and is identical to, our common stock except for the lack of voting rights.

Note 9. Related Party Transactions (continued)





CI II holds notes in the aggregate principal amount of $11,500,000 as of June 30, 2010, with a weighted average interest rate of 8% per annum. As of June 30, 2010, the aggregate accrued but unpaid interest on all of the notes held by CI II was $2,482,466.




Included in the notes held by CI II and accrued interest thereon are notes in the principal amount of $5,500,000 and accrued interest of $911,178, which are convertible into shares of our common stock on the same terms and conditions of the next equity offering. Also, the notes held by Greenebaum in the principal amount of $2,000,000 and accrued interest of $187,945 are convertible into shares of our common stock on the same terms and conditions of the next equity offering.





On April 15, 2010, SIG notified us that it has voluntarily abandoned and forfeited Warrants, dated December 11, 2009 and March 19, 2010, to purchase a total of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at $2.00 per share. Consequently, SIG no longer is a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding stock.

Overview


On January 29, 2008, Lightning Gaming, Inc. (the “Company”) acquired Lightning Poker, Inc. (“Lightning Poker”) in a merger (the “Merger”), under which Lightning Poker became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the Merger the stockholders of Lightning Poker became the





19


Company’s stockholders with the same percentage ownership interests in the Company  as they had in Lightning Poker prior to the Merger, all of the Company's previously outstanding stock was canceled with no obligation on the part of the Company for the payment of any consideration, and the Company ceased being a shell company.





Exchange Act reports for periods ending after the date of the Merger are presented on a consolidated basis, reflecting the Company’s ownership of Lightning Poker.





Lightning Poker was formed to develop and market gaming products  to commercial and tribal casinos, card clubs, other gaming and lottery venues, bars and restaurants and the home market. The major product to date is a fully automated, proprietary electronic poker table  (the “System”). The System provides a fully automated table gaming experience without a dealer in casinos and card rooms in regulated jurisdictions worldwide.   The System is designed to increase revenue and security while helping to reduce the labor costs associated with poker play.  The System enables up to ten players to make their wagers and game decisions via individual touch- screen betting stations. It utilizes a software application written in Java, which runs on a Linux-based multi-game table platform. The System achieves the goal of increasing revenue by allowing a larger number of hands to be played per hour, increasing the “rake” or per- hand fee collected by the operator commensurately.   The elimination of a live dealer also reduces labor costs and permits more tables to be operational in jurisdictions where skilled poker dealers are in short supply. The System has an added benefit of eliminating mistakes by the dealer or the player, and it eliminates the need to tip the dealer.   The System also provides an opportunity to present information about the game to the players via individual player screens and via the common center monitor.





The System has received Gaming Laboratories Incorporated  (“GLI”) certification for a casino version of Texas Holdem, Omaha, cash, and single table tournament poker, which the Company needs in order to install the System in certain jurisdictions.





Poker is one of several card games in which two or more players strategically bet against each other. Many casinos and “card clubs” operate poker rooms that typically consist of tables at which up to 10 players play any of several types of poker against the other players at the table. A dealer employed by the casino or card club is responsible for dealing cards, calculating bets, collecting the “rake,” which is the amount the casino or card club charges for each hand of poker, and distributing payouts. Unlike most other games played at a casino, where the casino may win the full amount of a player’s bet, the casino or card club’s revenue from the poker room is limited to the rake.





The number of Systems installed at any particular location is fluid and may increase or decrease over time. For example, casinos remodel periodically and may expand or contract the amount of floor space allocated to poker. In addition, from time to time certain customers find that they license more Systems from us than demand will support in their poker rooms, which itself is affected by factors ranging from seasonality (people tend to travel shorter distances in the winter months) to macroeconomic and competitive factors. In other cases, regulatory changes in a particular jurisdiction may result in a temporary delay or removal of Systems. Sometimes, we may elect to redeploy Systems to more productive venues to maximize our return on investment. Frequently we install Systems at new customer sites where we engage in trial periods of varying lengths with customers to satisfy regulatory requirements as well as to test demand, and educate customers. We view these fluctuations as an expected and normal part of the growth phase of our business and an effective tool for managing our assets.





In the third quarter of 2009 the Company commenced the design, manufacture, marketing, sale and operation of video and reel-spinning gaming machines in various gaming jurisdictions. The Company’s current products of this nature are described below.





The Company has developed and has received GLI certification for a casino version of Video SCRABBLE.  Video SCRABBLE is a bonus slot machine that engages players with a simple two-draw game play.  The object of the game is to score the highest possible word value using the official SCRABBLETM (“SCRABBLE”) tournament word list.  The highest value word is calculated and compared to a paytable to calculate the win.  A bonus is initiated when the player uses all seven letters and scores on


20


the paytable. Video SCRABBLE does not require spelling or vocabulary as the game will instantly reassemble drawn letters to form the highest possible word score and will automatically provide word definitions, thereby adding an enjoyable learning aspect to the game.





A SCRABBLE bonus occurs when a player uses all seven letters that score in the paytable.  The bonus consists of a partially completed SCRABBLE board that is displayed on a secondary screen. The player will automatically get one draw of seven letter tiles that will be sorted into the best word score in the board above.  Word scores from the bonus board are calculated into credits.   If all seven letter tiles are used the player will win an additional 50 points.  Video Scrabble is available as a five- coin game.





The SCRABBLE Gems bonus slot machine is a five- reel 25 line game geared towards a traditional slot player. A bonus is initiated when a player matches three or more colored  letters on any line. If a 5 letter word is created on any line the player received 10 free spins.  When three or more stars appear  the Scrabble Board Bonus  is triggered.





When the SCRABBLE Board Bonus is awarded the payer selects seven tiles to reveal letters. These letters are placed in a partially completed Scrabble board in the best possible location. Credits are awarded based on Scrabble rules.





The multi-rack SCRABBLE slot machine game consists of two draws on 25 racks, rewarding the player for creating a word of 13 points or higher based on Scrabble letter values. Spelling or vocabulary skills are not required. Words and definitions are automatically shown to the player making it easy and entertaining for all.





The SCRABBLE Gems and POPEYE spinning reel games  are a low -volatility game with high-hit frequency bonuses.





The Company has filed and will continue to file applications for licensure in various gaming jurisdictions. The Company evaluates economic impact of each jurisdiction in determining the priority of filing in a jurisdiction.





We believe that the use of brand name intellectual property will contribute to the appeal and success of our gaming  machines and that our future ability to license, acquire or develop new brand names is important  to our success.





We plan to sell our gaming products in various legal gaming jurisdictions worldwide. The manufacture and distribution of gaming equipment and related software are subject to regulation and approval by various city, county, state, provincial, federal, tribal and foreign agencies.  We will continue to devote resources to obtain all necessary approvals to manufacture and distribute our gaming products.





We have a history of losses since the Company’s inception. We incurred a net loss of approximately $1,200,000 in the six  months ended June 30, 2010.





Three Months Ended June 30, 2010  Compared to Three  Months Ended June 30, 2009


(All amounts rounded to the nearest $1,000)


Revenues





The Company’s revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $1,824,000 compared to 1,303,000 for the comparable prior year period. The increase in revenues was due to the increase in  sales of Systems and parts partly offset by lower license and service fees.





Sales of Systems and parts increased by $675,000 (67%) to $1,690,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $1,014,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 principally due to the placement of refurbished Systems at an existing international customer.




21





License and service fees decreased by $154,000 (53%) to $134,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $288,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as the world wide recession impacted gaming revenues resulting in lower revenue from a South American customer.





Cost of Products Sold





For the three months ended June 30, 2010, cost of products sold increased $373,000 (100%) to $743,000 as compared to $370,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to the placement of refurbished Systems at an existing international customer. Gross margins were 56% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 64% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was principally due to lower selling prices for refurbished Systems and increased selling costs.





Operating Expenses





Operating expenses decreased by $18,000 to $113,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $131,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  This decrease was primarily the result of lower commissions due to the decline in license fees.





Research and Development Expenses





Research and development expenses decreased by $111,000 to $189,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $300,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Research and development expenses are primarily related to the development of the System.





Selling, General and Administrative Expenses





Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $68,000 to $623,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $555,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  This increase was primarily due to higher marketing staff costs, regulatory fees, compliance and maintenance costs  partly offset by the absence of  collection reserves incurred in 2009.





Depreciation and Amortization





Depreciation and amortization decreased by $105,000 to $189,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $294,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily related to the lower installed base of Systems during 2009 and 2010.





Net Interest Expense





Net interest expense decreased by $15,000 to $297,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $312,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This change was the result of lower warrant cost amortization as a result of the cancellation of certain warrants in the second quarter partly offset by  interest on notes issued in the first quarter of 2010.





Change in Value of Warrants








22





Other Income (Expense)





The Company receives payment in Euros for certain license fees and sales revenues from some international customers. Other income or expense represents foreign exchange transaction costs of conversion of Euros to US dollars.





Six Months Ended June 30, 2010  Compared to Six  Months Ended June 30, 2009





Revenue





The Company’s revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $2,221,000 compared to $1,987,000 for the comparable prior year period. The increase in revenues was due to the sale of refurbished Systems in the current period  to an international customer partly offset by  lower license fees  due to lower System installations and the negative  impact of the world wide recession on gaming revenues of our customers.





Cost of Products Sold





For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cost of products sold increased $255,000 to $808,000 from $553,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was due to the sale of  refurbished Systems to an international customer. Gross margins were 58% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared with 60% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in gross margin  was principally due to lower selling prices for refurbished Systems and increased selling costs.





Operating Expenses





Operating expenses decreased by $66,000 to $203,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $269,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  This decrease was primarily the result of lower commissions due to the decline in license fees.





Research and Development Expenses





Research and development expenses decreased by $118,000 to $449,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $567,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Research and development expenses are primarily related to the development of the System.





Selling, General and Administrative Expenses





Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $281,000 to $1,156,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, from $875,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  This increase was primarily the result of  higher marketing staff costs, regulatory fees, compliance and maintenance costs partly offset by the absence of  collection reserves incurred in 2009.





Depreciation and Amortization





Depreciation and amortization decreased from $525,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $377,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily related to the lower installed base of Systems during 2009 and 2010.





Change in Value of Warrants




The change in fair value of our warrants of $206,000 was mainly due to the declines in the remaining life of the warrant and the estimated fair market value of our common stock.







23




Net Interest Expense





Net interest expense decreased from $620,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $612,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. This change was the result of lower warrant cost amortization as a result of the cancellation of certain warrants in the second quarter partly offset by interest on notes issued in the first quarter of 2010.





Liquidity and Capital Resources





Since our inception, we have funded our startup costs, operating costs and capital expenditures through loans and issuances of common stock.





For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred a net loss of $1,178,000 and used $1,789,000 of cash in operating activities. At June 30, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $17,223,000. The generation of cash flow sufficient to meet our cash needs in the future will depend on our ability to obtain the regulatory approvals required to distribute our products and successfully market them to more casinos and card clubs.





Our current cash requirements are approximately $160,000 to $270,000 per month, principally for salaries, professional services, marketing, office expenses and the purchase of the hardware components for our products.





Based on our cash flow projections, anticipated revenues and plans to seek an extension or refinancing of our long-term debt that matures in 2011, we believe we will be able to support our operations for the foreseeable future. However, if sales of our products do not meet, or our expenses exceed, our projections, we may need to raise additional funds through an offering of securities or a credit facility. With respect to our long-term debt that matures in 2011, we will seek to obtain extensions of the maturity date of the notes or refinance the debt. There is no assurance that such additional funding or that an extension or refinancing of our long-term debt would be available to us, particularly during this economic recession and severe downturn in the gaming industry. If we need additional funding and are unable to obtain it or if we are unable to obtain an extension or refinancing of our debt that matures in 2011, then our financial condition would be materially and adversely affected. We have received assurance from a major stockholder to support our operations for 2010 should such support become necessary.





In addition, our ability to sell or lease our products on a large scale may require additional financing for working capital. There is no assurance that such additional financing would be available at all, or on reasonable terms. Our inability to obtain such financing on terms that allow us to lease our products profitably would hamper our ability to distribute our products on a large scale.





Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements





As of June 30, 2010, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.





Going Concern





The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes realization of all assets and settlement or payment of all liabilities in the ordinary course of business. We have limited capital resources, net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since the Company’s inception and expect these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. The generation of cash flow sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs in the future will depend on the Company’s ability to obtain the regulatory approvals required to distribute its products and successfully market them to more casinos and card clubs and obtain extension or refinancing of the long term debt that is scheduled to mature

in 2011. The Company believes it will be able to support its operations for the foreseeable future. However, if sales of our products do not meet, or the Company’s expenses exceed, the Company’s projections, the Company may need to raise additional funds through an offering of securities or a credit facility. With respect to the Company’s long-term debt that matures in 2011, the Company will seek to obtain extensions of the maturity date of the notes or refinance the debt. There is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain such additional funding or an extension or refinancing of the long-term debt that matures in 2011. If the Company needs additional funding and is unable to obtain it, or if the Company is unable to obtain an extension or refinancing of its debt that matures in 2011, then the Company’s financial condition would be materially and adversely affected. The Company’s continuance as a going concern is dependent upon these factors, among others. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. The Company has received assurance from a major stockholder to support its operations for 2010 should such support become necessary.





Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.





Not applicable.





Item 4. Controls and Procedures





We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management  is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  As of June 30, 2010, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of June 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.





There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
