NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Amounts disclosed in the accompanying footnote tables are shown in thousands while amounts included in text are disclosed in actual amounts.

1. GENERAL

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete audited financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals and charges) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2007, and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 6, 2007, the Company announced its intent to dispose of its table games division, which consists of casino table games with proprietary intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, etc. that have been developed, acquired or licensed from third parties. On July 11, 2007, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) to sell the table games division to Shuffle Master, Inc. (“SMI”). The sale of the table games division to SMI is contingent on customary closing procedures and is expected to close on or before August 31, 2007.

During June 2007, the Company entered into two arrangements to sell its remaining slot route and slot inventory to Reel Games, Inc.

The Company expects the disposals to be completed within one year, and the Company expects to have no continuing involvement after completion of the disposal transactions. Continuing direct cash flows from the slot and table businesses are expected to cease within one year.

As a result of the proposed table game division sale and the slot route and inventory sales, the Company recorded a total charge, net of tax, of $29.3 million in the second quarter of 2007 which comprises impairment charges associated with the adjustment of the carrying values of the assets involved in the sales, including $25 million related to goodwill and intangible assets, and the loss from the table and slot operations of $0.7 million,. Revenues for the table games division and slot route were $1.8 million and $3.9 million, and $3.4 million and $6.2 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Those revenues, which previously were included in the slot and table games segment revenues, are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and prior period amounts have been reclassified, as required by SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Interest expense was not allocated to the slot and table businesses, and therefore, all of the Company’s interest expense is included within continuing operations.

The assets and liabilities associated with discontinued operations are presented in separate line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The components of the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations at June 30, 2007 are presented below, along with comparable carrying values of the assets and liabilities at December 31, 2006.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts for the Company and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries and are maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of less than ninety (90) days. The Company places its cash and temporary investments with financial institutions. At June 30, 2007, the Company had deposits with financial institutions in excess of FDIC insured limits by $4.2 million.

Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company regularly evaluates the collectibility of its trade receivable balances based on a combination of factors. When a customer’s account becomes past due, dialogue is initiated with the customer to determine the cause. If it is determined that the customer will be unable to meet its financial obligation

 

8


to the Company, such as in the case of a bankruptcy filing, deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position or other material events impacting their business, a specific reserve is recorded for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount the Company expects to recover given all information presently available. The Company also records reserves for bad debt for all other customers based on certain other factors including the length of time the receivables are past due and historical collection experience with individual customers. If circumstances related to specific customers change, the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of receivables could materially change.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in, first-out method) or market.

Long-Lived Assets. Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated by the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 15 years. Costs of major improvements are capitalized; costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Management requires long-lived assets that are held and used by the Company to be reviewed for impairment quarterly or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable from related future undiscounted cash flows.

Discontinued Operations. In determining whether a group of assets disposed (or to be disposed of) should be presented as a discontinued operation, the Company makes a determination of whether the group of assets being disposed of comprises a component of the entity; that is, it has historic operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished (both operationally and for financial reporting purposes). The Company also determines whether the cash flows associated with the group of assets have been significantly (or will be significantly) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as a result of the disposal transaction and whether the Company has no significant continuing involvement in the operations of the group of assets after the disposal transaction. If these determinations can be made affirmatively, the results of operations of the group of assets being disposed of (as well as any gain or loss on the disposal transaction) are aggregated for separate presentation apart from continuing operating results of the Company in the consolidated financial statements.

Patents and Trademarks. The Company capitalizes the cost of registering and successful defense of patents and trademarks. These costs are amortized over the useful life of the patent or trademark.

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets consist of patent and trademark rights, goodwill, intellectual property rights, covenants not to compete, software costs, license fees and a perpetual license. They are recorded at cost and are amortized, except goodwill and perpetual license, on a straight-line basis over the period of time the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows, which range from 5 to 40 years.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” effective January 1, 2002. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, such as the Company’s perpetual license, are no longer amortized but are subject to periodic impairment tests. Other intangible assets with finite lives, such as patents, software development costs, trademark and proprietary property rights and license and non-compete agreements will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. Management performs impairment reviews annually or whenever events or circumstances occur that would indicate the assets may be impaired.

Deferred Revenues. Deferred revenues consist primarily of arrangements for which revenues will be recognized in future periods.

Customer Deposits. Customer deposit liabilities represent payments and payment obligations collected in advance from customers pursuant to agreements under which the related sale of inventory has not been completed.

Other Assets. Other long term assets represent primarily unamortized loan fees, minority investments, and security deposits for building and equipment leases and other services. The Company’s minority investments in non-public companies are accounted for using the cost method, and are regularly reviewed for impairment. When facts and circumstances indicate that an impairment has occurred that is other-than-temporary, the Company records an impairment charge and reduces the carrying value of the investment.

Litigation and Other Contingencies. The Company is involved in various legal matters, litigation and claims of various types in the ordinary course of its business operations. The Company has regular litigation reviews, including updates from corporate and outside counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies. The status of significant claims is summarized in Note 9.

        Generally accepted accounting principles require that liabilities for contingencies be recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant management judgment is required related to contingent liabilities and the outcome of litigation because both are difficult to predict. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and which are significant, the Company discloses the nature of the contingency and, where feasible, an estimate of the possible loss.

Foreign Currency Translation. The Company accounts for currency translation in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. Balance sheet accounts are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are charged or credited to other comprehensive loss.

Nonmonetary Exchanges. The Company adopted SFAS No. 153 “Exchanges of Non-Monetary Assets” (“SFAS No. 153”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. SFAS No. 153 addresses the measurement for the exchange of non-monetary assets. SFAS No. 153 requires that exchanges be recorded at fair value provided that fair value is determinable and other qualifying criteria are met as described in the standard. If fair value is not determinable or if the other qualifying criteria are not met, the exchange is recorded at cost.

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue depending on the line of business as described below. As documentation for a transaction commitment, the Company requires a properly authorized writing from the customer specifying transaction terms and conditions, including: a contract signed by the customer or an approved customer purchase order or another approved form. The Company may require additional documentation to support revenue recognition including receipt of shipment, a signed customer installation ticket or a signed customer acceptance ticket as more fully described below:

Slot and Table Games. The Company leases and sells proprietary slot and table games to casino customers. Table game lease contracts are typically for a 36-month period with a 30-day cancellation clause. The lease revenue is recognized on a monthly basis. Slot machine lease contracts are either on revenue participation or a fixed-rental basis. Slot machine lease contracts are typically for a month-to-month period with a 30-day cancellation clause. On a participation basis, the Company earns a share of the revenue that the casino earns from these slot machines. On a fixed-rental basis, the Company charges a fixed amount per slot machine per day. Revenues from both types of lease arrangements are recognized on the accrual basis. The sales agreements for proprietary table games and slot games consist of the sale of hardware and a perpetual license for the proprietary intellectual property. Slot and table game sales are executed by a signed contract or a customer purchase order. Revenues for these sales agreements are generally recognized when the hardware and intellectual property is delivered to the customer.

Systems. The Company’s systems segment offers a suite of products that when combined, supports every facet of a gaming operation, and consolidates the management of slot machines, table games, server-based gaming, account wagering, marketing and cage into one fully integrated system. There are proprietary hardware and software components to the systems. The Company accounts for system sales in accordance with Statement of Position 97- 2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (“SOP 97-2”). System sales are evidenced by a signed contract. Follow-up spare parts and hardware-only sales are evidenced by a purchase order or other approved form. Revenue for system sales is generally recognized when: (i) there is an arrangement with a fixed determinable price; (ii) collectibility of the sale is probable; and (iii) the hardware and software have been delivered, installed, training has been completed and acceptance has occurred.

Not all systems contracts require installation. Examples include sales of hardware only to (i) previous customers that are expanding their systems, (ii) customers that have multiple locations and do the installation themselves and require an additional software license and hardware and (iii) customers purchasing spare parts.

Postcontract Customer Support. Maintenance and support for substantially all of the Company’s products are sold under agreements with established vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value in accordance with the applicable accounting literature. These contracts are generally for a period of three years and revenue is recognized ratably over the contract service period. Further training is also sold under agreements with established vendor-specific objective evidence of price, which is based on daily rates and is recognized as the services are provided.

License Arrangements. A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are generated from the license of intellectual property, software and game content. These licenses are sold on a stand-alone basis or in multiple element arrangements. Revenue is recognized from these transactions in accordance with the applicable accounting literature. Revenues under perpetual license arrangements are generally recognized when the license is delivered. Revenues under fixed term arrangements are generally recognized over the term of the arrangement or in a manner consistent with the earnings process. For arrangements with multiple deliverables, revenue is generally recognized as the elements are delivered so long as the undelivered elements have established fair values as required in the applicable accounting literature.

Stock-Based Compensation. Beginning January 2006, the Company adopted the modified prospective application method contained in SFAS No. 123 (revised December 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), to account for share-based payments. As a result, the Company applies this pronouncement to new awards or modifications of existing awards in 2006 and thereafter. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company accounted for share-based payments under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”), and related Interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Under APB No. 25, no compensation cost was required to be recognized for options granted that had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

 

10


The principal effects of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) are:

 

   

The fair value of unvested outstanding options at the beginning of first quarter 2006 will be expensed over the remaining service period.

 

   

Forfeitures over the expected term of the award are estimated at the date of grant and the estimates adjusted to reflect actual subsequent forfeitures. Previously, the Company had reflected forfeitures as they occurred. The effect of this change was not significant.

 

   

Any tax benefits recognized as a result of the exercise of employee stock options would be classified as a financing cash flow. The Company has not recognized any tax benefits related to stock-based compensation cost as a result of the full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets and its net operating loss carryforwards.

Adoption of this pronouncement did not change the methodology the Company uses to determine the fair value of its share-based compensation arrangements. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option- pricing model for stock options and the grant date fair value of our common stock for restricted stock awards.

Equity Instruments Issued to Outside Parties. The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to outside parties in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF 00-18, “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees”. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized as a charge to the statement of operations over the term of the consulting agreement. The number of uncancelled options issued to consultants at June 30, 2007, was 55,000, with a range of exercise prices from $ 4.38 to $ 7.06 per share, and an unamortized fair value of less than $ 0.1 million.

During 2006, the Company issued warrants to Ableco Holding LLC representing a portion of the debt issue costs related to the Company’s long-term debt arrangements. Upon issuance, the fair value of these warrants was recorded as a prepaid loan fee, and is being recognized as a charge to the statement of operations on the straight-line method over the term of the debt facility. At June 30, 2007, the number of shares issuable under uncancelled warrants held by Ableco Holding LLC was 350,000, with a weighted average exercise price for the warrants is $7.87, and a term of seven years.

From 1998 to 2000, the Company licensed rights to intellectual property, including rights to develop and market gaming devices and associated equipment under certain Ripley and Hasbro trademarks, in exchange for warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. During 2006, the Company licensed certain intellectual property rights from Harrah’s in exchange for 325,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. At June 30, 2007, the number of uncancelled warrants issued in exchange for license agreements was 360,000, with a weighted average exercise price of $7.43 per share.

Software Development Capitalization. The Company capitalizes external direct costs related to the development of certain software products that meet the criteria under SFAS No. 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”.

Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” pursuant to which the Company records deferred income taxes for temporary differences that are reported in different years for financial reporting and for income tax purposes. Such deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified into current and non-current amounts based on the classification of the related assets and liabilities.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

The Company adopted Fin 48 on January 1, 2007. On adoption, the Company had $62.8 million in total unrecognized tax benefits, with a valuation allowance of $56.7 million. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 has resulted in a decrease

 

11


of $1 million to the Company’s non current deferred tax asset with a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to accrue interest and or penalties related to potential underpayments of income taxes within the provision for income taxes.

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. Tax years 2003 to 2006 remain subject to U.S. federal income tax and various state and local tax jurisdictions remain open to examination as well, although Management believes that any potential assessments would be immaterial. The Company’s international subsidiaries are subject to the governing tax authority of each location and are subject to various years of examination. There are no ongoing examinations of income tax returns by federal, state or international tax authorities.

Guarantees. In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FIN 34”, which disclosures are effective for financial statements issued after December 15, 2002. While the Company has various guarantees included in contracts in the normal course of business, primarily in the form of indemnities, the Company believes these guarantees would only result in immaterial increases in future costs, and do not represent significant or contingent liabilities of the indebtedness of others.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain of the Company’s accounting policies require that management apply significant estimates, judgments and assumptions, that it believes are reasonable, in calculating the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. By their nature, these estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Management’s judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, observance of known industry trends, and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. On a regular basis, management evaluates its estimates including those related to lives assigned to the Company’s assets, the determination of bad debts, inventory valuation reserves, asset impairment and self-insurance reserves. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications. Certain balance sheet and income statement amounts reported in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items will be required to be reported in earnings in the current period. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements for similar types of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the effect of implementing this guidance, which depends on the nature and extent of items elected to be measured at fair value, upon initial application of the standard on January 1, 2008.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements and eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.

8. LONG-TERM DEBT AND SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

On April 20, 2006, the Company completed the first of two phases of securing a credit facility for completion of its minority investment in Magellan Technology Pty., Ltd., and for general working capital purposes. The first phase included an arrangement for a $10 million senior secured term loan due April 19, 2007. Outstanding principal under the facility bore

 

14


interest at the prime rate of interest plus 2.25%. Underwriting fees related to the facility equaled 3.5% of the total principal and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes method using expected volatility of 60%, expected term of seven years, risk free rate of 4.97%, and expected dividends of zero. These warrants are classified in Other Assets in the accompanying balance sheet.

On August 4, 2006, the Company completed the final phase of its credit facility with an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., Ableco Finance LLC. The $22.5 million, three-year revolving credit facility is intended for general working capital purposes and to replace the existing $10 million facility completed in the first stage of the financing. The Company is continuing to evaluate other alternatives to retire the remainder of its Senior Secured Notes due 2008.

Outstanding principal under the $22.5 million facility bears interest at a reference rate of interest plus an applicable margin (currently 11.75%) or a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin. Underwriting fees related to the facility equal 2.0% of the total principal and warrants to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model and a Monte Carlo model using volatility of 69.64%, derived service period of one year, risk free rate of 5.05%, and expected dividends of zero. These warrants are classified in Other Assets in the accompanying balance sheet. The terms of the new facility require the Company to comply with certain financial covenants covering senior debt leverage ratio, total debt leverage ration, minimum EBITDA, minimum cash plus availability, minimum interest coverage, and certain negative covenants.

The senior credit facility contains, among other covenants, certain financial covenants including adjusted pro forma EBITDA, interest coverage ratio, minimum cash balance requirements, and leverage ratios (as defined in the agreement). The agreement also contains certain restrictions on additional indebtedness and the ability to issue dividends.

The indentures governing the senior secured notes contain certain negative covenants including, among other provisions, a limitation on indebtedness and the ability to issue dividends.

On July 16, 2007, the Company entered into a Waiver Letter and Amendment (the “Amendment”) related to its $22.5 million senior credit facility that waived certain covenants and provided preliminary consent for the proposed sale of the table games division. After giving effect to the waiver, the Company remains in compliance with all debt covenants.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in routine litigation, including bankruptcies, collection efforts, disputes with former employees and other matters in the ordinary course of its business operations. Management is not aware of any matter, pending or threatened, that in its judgment would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or its operations.

In June 2005, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with International Game Technology (“IGT”) to sell, market, distribute and integrate a table management system. In connection with the MOU, IGT incurred certain costs related to the purchase of intellectual property and the related maintenance and defense to be used in the joint product development. In accordance with the MOU, IGT would recover a portion of these costs through the joint product development. In September 2006, the Company and IGT entered into a Sales, Marketing, Distribution and Product Integration Agreement to further clarify the terms of the MOU. Among other clarifications, the parties agreed that the Company would make payments to IGT of $7.3 million over a three-year period, with no interest, commencing in the first quarter of 2007. The present value of these payments is classified as an intangible asset and corresponding long term obligation in the accompanying balance sheet at June 30, 2007.

The legal proceedings described in Item 3 of the Company’s annual report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, including the litigation involving Derek Webb, should be read in conjunction with this disclosure. No material developments related to these various litigation matters have occurred, except as disclosed herein.

The Company received a complaint from Olaf Vancura, a former employee, on July 18, 2005, alleging various claims associated with allegations of breach of employment agreement. A claim for the return of patents assigned to the Company has also been made. Under our agreement with Mr. Vancura, the matter was required to be handled through binding arbitration. The parties have settled the matter and it has been dismissed. The terms of the settlement agreement call for, among other items, a complete release of all actions between the parties to any claims, and for PGIC to provide to Mr. Vancura, at PGIC’s discretion, payment in the amount of $435,000, or payment of $285,000 and issuance of 40,000 restricted shares. Additionally, the parties agreed to settle all outstanding royalty and patent license matters.

The Company is also involved in other legal matters, litigation and claims of various types in the ordinary course of its business operations, including matters involving bankruptcies of debtors, collection efforts, disputes with former employees and other matters.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During 2005, the Company sold substantially all the assets of its sign and graphics manufacturing business to a third party, retaining less than 1% equity interest. The Company and Mikohn Signs and Graphics, LLC (“MSG”), signed a Transition Services Agreement and a Manufacturer’s Supply Agreement upon completion of the transaction. The Transition Services Agreement had a term of six months ending in November, 2005.

Both parties entered into a three year Manufacturer’s Supply Agreement at the close of the transaction, whereby MSG would purchase electronics from the Company at its standard OEM pricing. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, MSG purchased $0.1 million in electronic displays and related products from the Company. In addition, under the Manufacturer’s Supply Agreement, MSG provided the Company assembly, testing, shipping and warehousing services at MSG’s warehouse at hours worked plus any overhead associated with providing these services, multiplied by 110%. On January 3, 2006, the Company terminated this portion of the agreement and is currently using a third party contract manufacturer in Las Vegas, Nevada to provide these same services.

From time to time, the Company purchases signage and sign related products from MSG in conjunction with its progressive jackpot systems. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company purchased $0.1 million from MSG.

In 2005, the Company entered into a worldwide exclusive license with Magellan Technology Pty Limited (“Magellan”). The Company licensed, on an exclusive basis, Magellan’s rights to its RFID reader, tag and related intellectual property for any gaming applications for $3.1 million. The Company also completed the purchase of a minority interest in Magellan in 2006. In connection with the Company’s exclusive global master license to use Magellan’s RFID technology in gaming worldwide, the Company purchased $0.1 million of inventory from Magellan during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

12. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s business historically consisted of two reportable segments: (i) slot and table games, and (ii) systems. The slot and table games business segment, which has been reclassified to discontinued operations as of June 30, 2007, included the development, licensing and distribution of proprietary slot and table games. Revenues were derived from leases, revenue sharing arrangements, royalty and license fee arrangements with casinos and gaming suppliers. The Company’s systems segment offers a suite of products that when combined, supports every facet of a gaming operation, and consolidates the management of slot machines, table games, server-based gaming, account wagering, marketing and cage into one fully integrated system.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 3 above. All inter-segment transactions have been eliminated.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon profit or loss from operations before income taxes. Certain operating expenses, which are separately managed at the corporate level, are not allocated to the business segments. These unallocated costs include primarily the costs associated with executive administration, finance, human resources, legal, general marketing and information systems. The depreciation and amortization expense of identifiable assets not allocated to the business segments are also included in these costs.

As a result of the reclassification of the slot and table games segment to discontinued operations, as of June 30, 2007 the Company will no longer report segment information based upon lines of business.

14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At June 30, 2007, the Company has stock-based employee and director compensation plans, which are described below. On January 1, 2006, PGIC adopted the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized in future interim and annual reporting periods includes: a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R).

SFAS No. 123(R) requires the cash flows from tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (“excess tax benefits”) to be classified as financing cash flows. The Company has not recognized, and does not expect to recognize in the near future, any tax benefit related to stock-based compensation cost as a result of the full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets and its net operating loss carryforwards.

The cost charged against operating loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for stock-based compensation was $0.9 million and $1.9 million compared to $2.1 million and $4.8 million, and no stock-based compensation cost was capitalized in inventory during those periods. The Company generally issues new shares to settle stock option exercises and vested stock awards.

Recognition and Measurement

The fair value of each stock-based award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, and changes in assumptions used can materially affect the fair value estimates. The Company estimates the expected life of the award by taking into consideration the vesting period, contractual term, historical exercise data, expected volatility, blackout periods and other relevant factors. Volatility is estimated by evaluating the volatility implied by market prices of the Company’s exchange-traded financial instruments along with historical volatility data. The risk-free interest rate at the date of grant is based on U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates for a period approximating the expected life of the award. The Company historically has not paid dividends, nor does it expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, therefore the expected dividend rate is zero.

The following table summarizes the range of assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model for the valuation of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:

 

     Six Months Ended June 30,  
     2007     2006  
     Low     High     Low     High

Risk free rate

   4.47 %   5.16 %   4.68 %   5.21 %

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for all service-based awards with graded vesting schedules on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Initial accruals of compensation expense are based on the estimated number of shares for which requisite service is expected to be rendered. Estimates are revised if subsequent information indicates that forfeitures will differ from previous estimates, and the cumulative effect on compensation cost of a change in the estimated forfeitures is recognized in the period of the change.

For awards with service and market conditions and graded vesting that were granted prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company estimates the requisite service period and the number of shares expected to vest, and recognizes compensation expense for each tranche on a straight-line basis over the estimated requisite service period. Estimated requisite service periods for awards with market conditions are periodically reviewed, and are adjusted if the market conditions and other factors indicate that the award is likely to vest more quickly than previously estimated. Adjustments to compensation expense as a result of revising the estimated requisite service period are recognized prospectively. Upon forfeiture of awards with market conditions, previously recognized compensation cost is reversed only if the forfeiture is a result of the employee’s failure to render the requisite service. Compensation expense is not reversed for awards that are forfeited solely because a market condition is not satisfied.

2005 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock bonus awards, stock purchase awards, stock unit awards and other stock awards to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants. Options issued under the plan are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant, become exercisable at the rate of 1/48th per month, and have a term of seven years. Restricted stock awards granted under the plan typically vest at the rate of one-third per year on each of the first through third anniversaries of the date of grant. The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, which was adopted during 2005, is intended as the successor to the Company’s Stock Option Plan, Employee Stock Incentive Plan, and New Hire Equity Inventive Plan (the “predecessor plans”). As of June 30, 2007, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan is 2,786,956, subject to certain increases from time to time as set forth in that plan.

At June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding restricted stock awards which were granted under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and the predecessor plans. Restricted stock awards granted under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan typically vest ratably over a service period of three years, and compensation expense is based upon the grant date fair value, calculated as

 

25


the quoted market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date times the number of shares expected to vest. Restricted stock awards granted under the predecessor plans generally vest ratably over a period of three years, subject to the achievement of target market prices for the Company’s stock, and have a term of ten years. Compensation cost for these awards is based upon the number of shares expected to vest, times the quoted market price of the Company’s stock on the accounting measurement date, which is typically the date on which both the service condition and target market price condition have been met.

A summary of activity under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and the predecessor plans as of June 30, 2007, and changes during the six months then ended is presented below:

Director Stock Option Plan

The Director Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of nonstatutory stock options to non-employee directors of the Company. Under this plan, each non-employee director receives each year, immediately following the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders, a ten year option (vesting as to 1/48 of the optioned shares, cumulatively, each month following the grant) to purchase at one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value at the date of grant 15,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Warrants Issued to Vendors

Along with the stock option plans discussed above, the Company may from time to time grant stock warrants to various licensors as well as other individuals with whom the Company does business. From 1998 to 2000, the Company entered into various licensing agreements with Hasbro, Inc. and Hasbro International, Inc. (together, “Hasbro”) which granted the Company rights to intellectual property, including rights to develop and market gaming devices and associated equipment under the trademark Clue ® . In exchange for these license agreements, the Company granted Hasbro warrants to purchase up to 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for each license at an average exercise price of $6.13 per share. At June 30, 2007, none of these warrants remain outstanding.

From 1998 to 2000, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with Ripley Entertainment which granted the Company rights to intellectual property, including rights to develop and market gaming devices and associated equipment under the trademark for Ripley’s Believe It ® or Not! ®, in exchange for which the Company granted Ripley’s Entertainment a warrant to purchase up to 35,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.75 per share. This warrant remains outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2007, and expires on December 31, 2009.

During 2006, the Company licensed certain intellectual property rights from Harrah’s License Company, LLC in exchange for 325,000 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share. These warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model using volatility of 60%, expected life of six years, risk free rate of 4.79%, and expected dividends of zero. These warrants remain outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2007.

 

27


At June 30, 2007, the total number of uncancelled warrants issued in exchange for license agreements was 360,000, with a weighted average exercise price of $7.43 per share.

During 2006, the Company also issued stock purchase warrants for 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Ableco Finance LLC in connection with financing arrangements. The weighted average exercise price for 275,000 of the shares covered under these warrants is $8.46 per share. The exercise price for 75,000 of the shares covered under these warrants was set at $5.74 on August 4, 2007, in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement. The fair value of these warrants is classified in Other Assets in the accompanying balance sheet, and is being amortized to interest expense on the interest method.

No stock purchase warrants were issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

PROGRESSIVE GAMING INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

Item 2. — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

OPERATIONS

CAUTIONARY NOTICE

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements sometimes include the words “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “expect,” or “anticipate,” and other similar words. Statements expressing expectations regarding our future (including pending gaming and patent approvals) and projections relating to products, sales, revenues and earnings are typical of such statements.

All forward-looking statements, although reasonable and made in good faith, are subject to the risks and uncertainties inherent in predicting the future. Our actual results may differ materially from those projected, stated or implied in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, overall industry environment, customer acceptance of our new products, delay in the introduction of new products, the further approvals of regulatory authorities, adverse court rulings, production and/or quality control problems, the denial, suspension or revocation of privileged operating licenses by governmental authorities, competitive pressures and general economic conditions, our financial condition, our debt service obligations, and our ability to secure future financing. These and other factors that may affect our results are discussed more fully in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are warned that we undertake no obligation to update or revise such statements to reflect new circumstances or unanticipated events as they occur, and are urged to review and consider disclosures we make in this and other reports that discuss factors germane to our business. See particularly our reports on Forms 10-K, 10-K/A, 10-Q, 10-Q/A, 8-K and 8-K/A filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

General Information

Previously, we developed, acquired and distributed table and slot game content as well as software products to meet the needs of gaming operators worldwide. In 2004, we began repositioning our business to focus solely on technology and game content and completed a series of acquisitions and divestitures to reposition our Company. In the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we entered into an arrangement to divest our slot division, and we entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell our table games division to Shuffle Master, Inc. Prior to June 30, 2007, the Company consisted of the following segments:

 

   

Table and Slot Games. Our table and slot games segment developed, acquired, licensed and distributed proprietary and non-proprietary branded and non-branded table and slot games. Our recurring slot and table revenues primarily consist of: (i) fixed periodic rental fees, (ii) periodic revenue share arrangements for a percentage of the “net win” (“net win” produced by a gaming device is defined as the gross revenue minus all jackpots, payouts and any approved claims) or (iii) periodic license fees for proprietary game content provided to third parties for use on their game hardware. Our non-recurring slot and table revenues primarily consist of (i) the sale of our game hardware, (ii) the perpetual license of our proprietary content, and (iii) license fees for the use of our game patents.

 

   

Systems. Our systems segment offers a suite of products that when combined, supports every facet of a gaming operation, and consolidates the management of slot machines, table games, server-based gaming, account wagering, marketing and cage into one fully integrated system. The system can support from one venue to several hundred venues in a multi-site configuration. Systems revenues are primarily comprised of software, hardware and support services, which comprise both upfront payments as well as recurring fees.

As a result of the sale of our slot business and the proposed sale of our table business, we have classified the slot and table games segment as a discontinued operation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets—see Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

With respect to our segments, we evaluate performance and allocate resources based upon profit or loss from operations before income taxes. The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of critical accounting policies below.

 

29


Acquisitions / Divestitures

On March 5, 2007, we announced that we appointed Roth Capital Partners to provide advisory services in connection with a potential sale of our table games route and other related assets including the Caribbean Stud ® and Texas Hold’em Bonus ® table games, with full consideration of related agreements and partnerships tied to the felt and electronic table games (the “table games division”). On July 12, 2007, we executed a non-binding letter of intent with Shuffle Master, Inc. to purchase the table games division. The transaction is contingent on the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements and customary closing procedures and is expected to close during the third quarter of 2007. On June 30, 2007, we entered into an arrangement to sell our remaining slot route assets. As a result of these arrangements, the Company has classified the slot and table games segment as a discontinued operation in the accompanying financial statements.

Periodic License Revenues

Included in slot and table games and systems revenues are periodic license fees we receive for the license of intellectual property, software and content. Overall periodic license fees were $3.1 million and $9.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006, we shifted our focus away from periodic license fees. As a result of this change, our periodic license fees declined to $0.8 million and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

Amounts disclosed in the accompanying tables are shown in thousands except per share amounts, while amounts included in text are disclosed in actual amounts. All percentages reported are based on those rounded numbers.

CJS, which was introduced to the United States market in mid-2006, has experienced significant growth to nearly 6,000 units under management as of June 30, 2007. Historically, this product was approved in all United States jurisdictions except for Nevada. In July 2007, the Company announced that Nevada Gaming Control Board’s Technology Division has approved the CJS for a 60-day field trial at multiple properties in Las Vegas. The Company expects to commercialize CJS in Nevada at the end of 2007 and expects this jurisdiction to be a significant growth driver for this product during 2008.

Gross profit margins increased to 58% in the second quarter of 2007 compared to 34% in the second quarter of 2006. The improvement is due to higher software license and systems maintenance revenues in the 2007 quarter combined with better leverage of fixed service costs in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006.

Systems installed base. Our slot management installed base increased to 66,218 units as of June 30, 2007 from 54,068 units as of June 30, 2006 led by increases in CJS of 4,926 units and Casinolink® Enterprise of 7,224 units. Our table management installed base also increased to 3,426 units at June 30, 2007 from 1,954 units at June 30, 2006.

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A). SG&A expenses excluding non-cash stock compensation expense decreased approximately $ 3.3 million from the prior year quarter as a result of our planned cost reductions in connection with the sale of the slot and table games divisions. The planned cost reductions include a reduction in labor and associated costs as well as the closure of certain leased facilities. The decrease is also due to non-recurring charges recorded in the second quarter of 2006 of $3.6 million for severance, restructuring and legal settlements, which are included as part of the loss from discontinued operations. Non-cash stock compensation expense also decreased in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 to $0.8 million from $1.1 million as a result of a reduction in our headcount as well as a reduction in equity grants over the past 12 months.

Research and development expense (“R&D”). R&D consists primarily of personnel and related costs across all of our product lines. R&D expense decreased $0.2 million from the second quarter of 2006 as a result of the cost reductions referred to above. Throughout 2005 and early 2006, we increased our R&D spending to meet our product development timelines and achieve our strategic initiatives. We believe we are now at optimal staffing levels for R&D.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased slightly to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2006 as a result of higher amortization expense from additions to our intellectual property portfolio.

Interest expense. Our interest expense primarily includes interest costs and amortization from our $45 million of 11.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2008 and our $22.5 million senior secured term credit facility. Interest expense increased in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 as a result of higher outstanding borrowings under our credit facility and as a result of a $1.2 million waiver fee recorded in the second quarter of 2007. The waiver and amendment signed on July 16, 2007 waived certain covenants and provided preliminary consent for the proposed sale of the table games division.

 

31


Income taxes. During the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the tax benefit generated from our losses was fully reserved due to our net operating loss position.

Discontinued operations. Included in discontinued operations are the losses from our slot and table games segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

As a result of the pending table game division sale and the slot route and inventory transactions, we recorded a charge of $29.3 million in the second quarter of 2007. The charge represents impairment charges associated with the adjustment of the carrying values of the assets involved in the sales to fair market value, as well as $2.7 million in restructuring charges and $1 million in transaction costs associated with the above dispositions. Revenues for the table games division and slot route were $1.8 million and $3.9 million, and $3.4 million and $6.2 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Those revenues, which were previously included in our slot and table games segment revenues, are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, as required by SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Sale of Long-Lived Assets”.

Loss per share. During the second quarter of 2007, we incurred a loss per fully-diluted share from continuing operations of $.14 compared to a loss of $0.40 in the prior year period based on weighted average shares of 34.8 million in 2007 and 34.4 million of weighted average diluted shares in 2006. The net loss per share narrowed from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007 as a result of the cost reductions made during 2007 and as a result of non-recurring charges recorded during the second quarter of 2006.

Systems revenues and gross profit. Our systems revenues increased during the first half of 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 as a result of continued growth in our systems products. Excluding periodic license revenues of $1.4 million and $6.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, systems revenues increased nearly 65% fueled by the introduction of our Casinolink® Jackpot Systems™ (“CJS”) to the North American markets and continued expansion of our Casinolink® Enterprise installations.

Gross profit margins increased to 53% in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 46% in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The improvement is due to higher software license revenues, a larger recurring revenue installed base and better leverage of the Company’s fixed service costs.

Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A). SG&A expenses, excluding non-cash stock compensation expense, decreased approximately $4.8 million from the prior year quarter as a result of our planned cost reductions in connection with the sale of the slot and table games divisions. The planned cost reductions include a reduction in labor and associated costs as well as the closure of certain leased facilities, which are included as part of the loss from discontinued operations. The decrease is also due to non-recurring charges of $3.6 million recorded in the first half of 2006 for severance, restructuring and legal settlements. Non-cash stock compensation expense also decreased in the first half of 2007 to $1.6 million from $3.6 million as a result of the initial adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006. The decrease in stock compensation expense is also attributable to a reduction in headcount.

Research and development expense (“R&D”). R&D consists primarily of personnel and related costs across all of our product lines. R&D expense decreased $0.4 million in the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006 as a result of the cost reductions referred to above.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased slightly in the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006 as a result of higher amortization from additions to our intellectual property portfolio.

Interest expense. Our interest expense primarily includes interest costs and amortization from our $45 million of 11.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2008 and our $22.5 million senior secured term credit facility. Interest expense increased in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of higher outstanding borrowings under our credit facility and as a result of the $1.2 million waiver fee recorded in the second quarter of 2007 referred to above.

Income taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the tax benefit generated from our losses was fully reserved due to our net operating loss position.

Discontinued operations. Included in discontinued operations are the losses from our slot and table games segment for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

On March 6, 2007, we announced our intent to dispose of our table games division, which consists of casino table games with proprietary intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, and copyrights that have been developed, acquired or licensed from third parties. On July 12, 2007, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) to sell the table games division to Shuffle Master, Inc. (“SMI”). The sale of the table games division to SMI is contingent on the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements and customary closing procedures and is expected to close during the third quarter of 2007.

During June 2007, we entered into two arrangements to sell our remaining slot route and slot inventory to Reel Games, Inc. Title to the assets transferred to Reel Games upon execution of the Agreement, subject to relevant regulations in the various jurisdictions in which the assets were located.

As a result of the proposed table game division sale and the slot route and inventory sales, we recorded a charge of $30.6 million in the first half of 2007. The charge represents impairment charges associated with the adjustment of the carrying values of the assets involved in the sales, as well as operating results of the slot and table divisions, net of tax. Revenues for the table games division and slot route were $1.8 million and $3.4 million, and $3.9 million and $6.2 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Those revenues, which previously were included in our slot and table games segment revenues, are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, as required by SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.

The assets and liabilities associated with the above transactions are presented in separate line items in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2007 were $4.3 million, a decrease of a $2.9 million compared to December 31, 2006. This change resulted from cash used in operations of $5.7 million, cash used in investing activities of $1.1 million, and cash provided by financing activities of $3.8 million.

Significant components of cash flows from operations are as follows:

 

(Amounts in millions)

      

Net loss

   $ (43.0 )

Loss on discontinued operations

     30.6  

Depreciation and amortization

     3.6

   $ (5.7 )
        

Significant uses of cash from investing activities included purchases of fixed assets of $0.4 million and additions to intangible assets of $0.5 million, including discontinued operations.

Significant sources of cash from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $3.2 million of proceeds from our senior debt facility for funding working capital and $0.8 million from the exercise of options and warrants.

Although there can be no assurance, we believe that the cash on hand of $4.3 million at June 30, 2007, along with the expected increase in cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital needs for the next 12 months. We are in the process of selling our table games division and are in the process of evaluating other near term opportunities to provide capital to repay debt and for other ongoing operational needs.

The senior credit facility contains, among other covenants, certain financial covenants including adjusted pro forma EBITDA, interest coverage ratio, minimum cash balance requirements, and leverage ratios (as defined in the agreement). The agreement also contains certain restrictions on additional indebtedness and the ability to issue dividends.

The indentures governing the senior secured notes contain certain negative covenants including, among other provisions, a limitation on indebtedness and the ability to issue dividends.

On July 16, 2007, we entered into a Waiver Letter and Amendment related to our $22.5 million senior credit facility to amend certain matters related to the proposed sale of the table games division and related activities in connection therewith, and to amend the financial covenants for the second quarter of 2007. After giving effect to the waiver, we remain in compliance with all debt covenants.

Capital Expenditures and Other

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we spent $0.4 million for purchases of property and equipment and $0.5 million related to the use of our intellectual property.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“FAS 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Subsequent changes in fair value for designated items will

 

34


be required to be reported in earnings in the current period. SFAS No. 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements for similar types of assets and liabilities measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the effect of implementing this guidance, which depends on the nature and extent of items elected to be measured at fair value, upon initial application of the standard on January 1, 2008.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements and eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. SFAS No. 157 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 157 on its financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.

 

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Refer to Part I, Item 7A, of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. There have been no material changes in market risks since the fiscal year end.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) designed to ensure that it is able to collect the information it is required to disclose in the reports it files with the SEC, and to record, process, summarize and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files with the SEC is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed and maintained by or under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by the rules of the SEC. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for evaluating the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers believe that these controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the Company is able to collect, process and disclose the information it is required to disclose in the reports it files with the SEC within the required time periods and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files with the SEC is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

No changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting have occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PROGRESSIVE GAMING INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The legal proceedings described in Item 3 of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, including the litigation involving Derek Webb, should be read in conjunction with this disclosure.

We received a complaint from Olaf Vancura, a former employee, on July 18, 2005, alleging various claims associated with allegations of breach of employment agreement. A claim for the return of patents assigned to the Company had also been made. Under our agreement with Mr. Vancura, the matter was required to be handled through binding arbitration. The parties have settled the matter and it has been dismissed. The terms of the settlement agreement call for among other items a complete release of all claims between the parties and for PGIC to provide to Mr. Vancura, at PGIC’s discretion, payment in the amount of $435,000, or payment of $285,000 and the issuance of 40,000 restricted shares. Additionally, the parties agreed to settle all outstanding royalty and patent license matters.

Commencing on November 28, 2005, four similar purported class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada naming the Company and two of our officers as defendants, and seeking unspecified money damages under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The complaints were consolidated into a single action, and plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on April 13, 2006. The parties agreed to settle the action and on June 12, 2007, the Court entered an Order and Final Judgment approving the settlement and dismissing the action with prejudice.

From time to time we are also involved in other legal matters, litigation and claims of various types in the ordinary course of our business operations, including matters involving bankruptcies of debtors, collection efforts, disputes with former employees and other matters. We intend to defend all of these matters vigorously. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in defending any of the matters described above or any other legal matters, litigation or claims in which we may become involved from time to time. If we are not successful in defending these matters, we may be required to pay substantial license fees, royalties or damages, including statutory or other damages, post significant bonds and/or discontinue a portion of our operations. Furthermore, our insurance coverage and other capital resources may be inadequate to cover anticipated costs of these lawsuits or any possible settlements, damage awards, bonds or license fees. Even if unsuccessful, these claims still can harm our business severely by damaging our reputation, requiring us to incur legal costs, lowering our stock price and public demand for our stock, and diverting management’s attention away from our primary business activities in general.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should consider carefully the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Each of these risk factors could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our common stock.

We have marked with an asterisk those risk factors that reflect changes from the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Risks Relating to Our Business

If we are unable to develop or introduce innovative products and technologies that gain market acceptance and satisfy consumer preferences, our current and future revenues will be adversely affected.

Our current and future performance is dependent upon the continued popularity of our existing products and technologies and our ability to develop and introduce new products and technologies that gain market acceptance and satisfy consumer preferences. The popularity of any of our gaming products and technologies may decline over time as consumer preferences change or as new, competing products or new technologies are introduced by our competitors. If we are unable to develop or market innovative products or technologies in the future, or if our current products or technologies become obsolete or otherwise noncompetitive, our ability to sustain current revenues from our existing customers or to generate additional revenues from existing or new customers would be adversely affected, which, in turn, could materially reduce our profitability and growth potential. In addition, the introduction of new and innovative products and technologies by our competitors that are successful in meeting consumer preferences also could materially reduce our competitiveness and adversely affect our revenues and our business.

        The development of new products and technologies requires a significant investment by us prior to any of the products or technologies becoming available for the market. New products, such as new games and refresher versions of our existing games, may not gain popularity with gaming patrons, or may not maintain any popularity achieved. In the event any new products or technologies fail to gain market acceptance or appeal to consumer preferences, we may be unable to recover the cost of developing these products or technologies.

*We are defendants in a litigation matter that could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources.

We were sued by Derek Webb and related plaintiffs in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Mississippi, Jackson Division, or the Court, in a case filed on December 27, 2002. The plaintiffs alleged state law interference with business relations claims and federal antitrust violations and contend that we illegally restrained trade and attempted to monopolize the proprietary table game market in the United States. In a jury verdict, the plaintiff has been awarded the sum of $13 million for his claims, which amount has been trebled to $39 million in accordance with applicable law. The plaintiffs have also filed a motion seeking attorneys’ fees and costs of approximately $4.7 million. We have filed post-trial claims for relief and, if necessary, intend to initiate the appeals process. While we and outside counsel believe it is probable that the jury verdict will be overturned or reversed as a result of the post trial motions, the Court could uphold the jury verdict and/or reject our post-trial efforts, and any appeals we make in this matter may be denied. In addition we may be required to post a bond of up to the full amount of the jury verdict as a condition to pursuing an appeal. There can be no assurance that we would be in a position financially to post a bond of this magnitude to permit the appeal process to proceed. Even if successful in posting a bond of this magnitude, this requirement could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these claims. However, no assurances can be made that we will be successful in our defense of the pending claims. If we are not successful in our defense of such claims, we could be forced to, among other things, make significant payments to resolve these claims or post significant bonds to pursue appeals, and such payments and/or bonds could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, regardless of the outcome of the foregoing matters, these litigation matters themselves may result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources, all of which could adversely affect our business.

*Our cash flow from operations and available credit may not be sufficient to meet our capital requirements and, as a result, we could be dependent upon future financing, which may not be available.

Historically, we have not generated sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy our capital requirements and have relied upon debt and equity financing arrangements to satisfy such requirements. Should such financing arrangements be required but unavailable in the future, this will pose a significant risk to our liquidity and ability to meet operational and other cash requirements. There can be no assurance that our existing credit facility or future financing arrangements will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. For example, in the first and second quarters of 2007 we required a waiver from our senior lender of certain financial covenants. We also recently obtained a waiver from our senior lender of certain borrowing base and qualified cash covenants, and believe it is likely that we will require a waiver of financial covenants applicable to the third quarter of 2007. If we are unable to maintain existing financing arrangements, including our credit facility, or obtain future financing, on terms acceptable to us, this may pose a significant risk to our liquidity and ability to meet operational and other cash requirements.

We may not sell our table game assets to Shuffle Master and otherwise may not realize expected benefits from the sale. Failure to complete the proposed sale of our table games division could negatively affect our stock price and future business and operations.

Other than with respect to an exclusivity period, our letter of intent with Shuffle Master is not binding, and we have not yet entered into definitive agreements regarding the proposed sale of our table games division. The specific terms and conditions of the transactions, and our prospective relationship with Shuffle Master, are yet to be determined in the definitive agreements. The sale is also contingent upon, among other things, completion of due diligence investigations and other customary closing procedures. The definitive documentation for the transaction may not be completed when expected, or at all, and may not contain terms and conditions as favorable to us as anticipated. Also, even if we enter into a definitive agreement with Shuffle Master for the sale, we may be unable to obtain, or meet conditions imposed for, approvals required for the transaction, including approvals required by our lenders. If the proposed sale of our table games division is not completed for any reason, the price of our common stock may decline to the extent that it reflects a positive market assumption that the transaction will be completed. In addition, if we are not able to complete the proposed transactions with Shuffle Master, we may be unable to find a third party willing to engage in similar transactions on terms as favorable as those expected in the proposed transaction, or at all. This could limit our ability to pursue our strategic goals in an atmosphere of increased uncertainty. Further, even if we are able to complete the sale, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction to the extent expected, or at all, and the disposition of these assets may adversely affect our future growth and results of operations.

If we are unable to rapidly develop new technologies, our products and technologies may become obsolete or noncompetitive.

The gaming sector is characterized by the rapid development of new technologies and continuous introduction of new products. In addition to requiring a strong pipeline of proprietary games, our success is dependent upon new product

 

37


development and technological advancements, including the continued development and commercialization of the Table iD™ system, our cashless technology, table player tracking technologies, central server-based products and technologies, progressive jackpot systems and integrated management systems. The markets in which we compete are subject to frequent technological changes, and one or more of our competitors may develop alternative technologies or products for bonusing, progressive jackpots, slot accounting, cashless technology, player tracking or game promotions, or a superior game platform which may not be made available to us. While we expend a significant amount of resources on research and development and product enhancement, we may not be able to continue to improve and market our existing products or technologies or develop and market new products at a rapid enough pace. Further technological developments may cause our products or technologies to become obsolete or noncompetitive.

If our current or proposed products or technologies do not receive regulatory approval, our revenue and business prospects will be adversely affected.

Our products and technologies are in various stages of development. Our development efforts are dependent on factors such as obtaining requisite governmental approvals. Each of these products and technologies requires separate regulatory approval in each market in which we do business, and this regulatory approval may either not be granted at all or not be granted in a timely manner, for reasons primarily outside of our control. In addition, we cannot predict with any accuracy which jurisdictions or markets, if any, will accept and which authorities will approve the operation of our gaming products and technologies, or the timing of any such approvals. A lack of regulatory approval for our new games or other products and technologies, or refresher versions of our existing games or other products and technologies, or delays in obtaining necessary regulatory approvals, will adversely affect our revenues and business prospects.

For example, RFID (radio frequency identification), CJS (Casino Jackpot Station) and central server-based gaming represent three of our key strategic initiatives over the next several years. While we are moving forward with the regulators in various jurisdictions to obtain required approvals, we are at various stages in the approval and development process for each initiative. We cannot assure you that we will receive the necessary approvals in all of the jurisdictions we have sought approval nor can we assure you that there will not be any production delays in developing and distributing these products and technologies. Any delay in production or in the regulatory process, or a denial of regulatory approval altogether, for any one of these initiatives will adversely impact our revenues and business.

If our products or technologies currently in development do not achieve commercial success, our revenue and business prospects will be adversely affected.

While we are pursuing and will continue to pursue product and technological development opportunities, there can be no assurance that such products or technologies will come to fruition or become successful. Furthermore, while a number of those products and technologies are being tested, we cannot provide any definite date by which they will be commercially viable and available, if at all. We may experience operational problems with such products after commercial introduction that could delay or prevent us from generating revenue or operating profits. Future operational problems could increase our costs, delay our plans or adversely affect our reputation or our sales of other products which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our success. We cannot predict which of the many possible future products or technologies currently in development will meet evolving industry standards and consumer demands. We cannot assure you that we will be able to adapt to technological changes or offer products on a timely basis or establish or maintain a competitive position.

We may not be successful in forming or maintaining strategic alliances with other companies, which could negatively affect our product offerings and sales.

Our business is becoming increasingly dependent on forming or maintaining strategic alliances with other companies, and we may not be able to form or maintain alliances that are important to ensure that our products and technologies are compatible with third-party products and technologies, to enable us to license our products and technologies to potential new customers and into potential new markets, and to enable us to continue to enter into new agreements with our existing customers. There can be no assurance that we will identify the best alliances for our business or that we will be able to maintain existing relationships with other companies or enter into new alliances with other companies on acceptable terms or at all. The failure to maintain or establish successful strategic alliances could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial results. If we cannot form and maintain significant strategic alliances with other companies as our target markets and technology evolve, the sales opportunities for our products and technologies could deteriorate.

If any conflicts arise between us and any of our alliance partners, our reputation, revenues and cash position could be significantly harmed.

Conflicts may arise between us and our alliance partners, such as conflicts concerning licensing and royalty fees, development or distribution obligations, the achievement of milestones or the ownership or protection of intellectual property developed by the alliance or otherwise. Any such disagreement between us and an alliance partner could result in one or more of the following, each of which could harm our reputation, result in a loss of revenues and a reduction in our cash position:

 

   

unwillingness on the part of an alliance partner to pay us license fees or royalties we believe are due to us under the strategic alliance;

 

38


   

uncertainty regarding ownership of intellectual property rights arising from our strategic alliance activities, which could result in litigation, permit third parties to use certain of our intellectual property or prevent us from utilizing such intellectual property rights and from entering into additional strategic alliances;

 

   

unwillingness on the part of an alliance partner to keep us informed regarding the progress of its development and commercialization activities, or to permit public disclosure of the results of those activities;

 

   

slowing or cessation of an alliance partner’s development or commercialization efforts with respect to our products or technologies;

 

   

delays in the introduction or commercialization of products or technologies; or

 

   

termination or non-renewal of the strategic alliance.

In addition, certain of our current or future alliance partners may have the right to terminate the strategic alliance on short notice. Accordingly, in the event of any conflict between the parties, our alliance partners may elect to terminate the agreement or alliance prior to completion of its original term. If a strategic alliance is terminated prematurely, we would not realize the anticipated benefits of the strategic alliance, our reputation in the industry and in the investment community may be harmed and our stock price may decline.

In addition, in certain of our current or future strategic alliances, we may agree not to develop products independently, or with any third party, directly competitive with the subject matter of our strategic alliances. Our strategic alliances may have the effect of limiting the areas of research, development and/or commercialization that we may pursue, either alone or with others. Under certain circumstances, however, our alliance partners may research, develop, or commercialize, either alone or with others, products in related fields that are competitive with the products or potential products that are the subject of these strategic alliances. For example, as part of our joint development arrangement with IGT and Shuffle Master, we agreed not to manufacture or sell our intelligent shoe products for a three-year period.

Our failure to protect, maintain and enforce our existing intellectual property or secure, maintain and enforce such rights for new proprietary technology could adversely affect our future growth and success.

Our ability to successfully protect our intellectual property is essential to our success. We protect our intellectual property through a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as licensing agreements and third-party nondisclosure and assignment agreements. Certain of our existing and proposed products are covered by patents issued in the United States, which may differ from patent protection in foreign jurisdictions, where our intellectual property

 

39


may not receive the same degree of protection as it would in the United States. In addition, in many countries intellectual property rights are conditioned upon obtaining registrations for trademarks, patents and other rights, and we have not obtained such registrations in all relevant jurisdictions. Failure to effectively protect our intellectual property could significantly impair our competitive advantage and adversely affect our revenues and the value of our common stock.

Our future success is also dependent upon our ability to secure our rights in any new proprietary technology that we develop. We file trademark, copyright and patent applications to protect intellectual property rights for many of our trademarks, proprietary games, gaming products and improvements to these products. Our failure to obtain federal protection for our patents and trademarks could cause us to become subject to additional competition and could have a material adverse effect on our future revenues and operations. In addition, any of the patents that we own, acquire or license may be determined to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable and would, in such case, not provide any protection with respect to the associated intellectual property rights.

If we are unable to effectively promote our trademarks, our revenues and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

We intend to promote the trademarks that we own and license from third parties to differentiate ourselves from our competitors and to build goodwill with our customers. These promotion efforts will require certain expenditures on our part. However, our efforts may be unsuccessful and these trademarks may not result in the competitive advantage that we anticipate. In such event, our revenues and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by the costs and expenses related to the promotion of such trademarks.

Our competitors may develop non-infringing products or technologies that adversely affect our future growth and revenues.

It is possible that our competitors will produce proprietary games or gaming products similar to ours without infringing on our intellectual property rights. We also rely on unpatented proprietary technologies. It is possible that others will independently develop the same or similar technologies or otherwise obtain access to the unpatented technologies upon which we rely for future growth and revenues. In addition, to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information, we generally require employees, consultants, advisors and strategic partners to enter into confidentiality agreements or agreements containing confidentiality provisions. We cannot assure you that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use, misappropriation or disclosure of such trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information. Failure to meaningfully protect our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information could adversely affect our future growth and revenues.

*We may incur significant litigation expenses protecting our intellectual property or defending our use of intellectual property, which may have a material adverse effect on our cash flow.

Significant litigation regarding intellectual property exists in our industry. Competitors and other third parties may infringe our intellectual property rights. Alternatively, competitors may allege that we have infringed their intellectual property rights. Any claims, even those made by third parties which are without merit, could:

 

   

be expensive and time consuming to defend resulting in the diversion of management’s attention and resources;

 

   

cause one or more of our patents to be ruled or rendered unenforceable or invalid, or require us to cease making, licensing or using products or systems that incorporate the challenged intellectual property; or

 

   

require us to spend significant time and money to redesign, reengineer or rebrand our products or systems if feasible.

See “Item 1. Legal Proceedings” in Part II of this Quarterly Report and “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 23, 2007 for a description of various legal proceedings in which we are involved.

If we are found to be infringing on a third-party’s intellectual property rights, we may be forced to discontinue certain products or technologies, pay damages or obtain a license to use the intellectual property, any of which may adversely affect our future growth and revenues.

If we are found to be infringing on a third party’s intellectual property rights, we may be forced to discontinue certain products or the use of certain competitive technologies or features, which may have a material adverse effect on our future growth and revenues. Alternatively, if the company holding the applicable patent is willing to give us a license that allows us to develop, manufacture or market our products or technologies, we may be required to obtain a license from them. Such a license may require the payment of a license, royalty or similar fee or payment and may limit our ability to market new

 

40


products or technologies, which would adversely affect our future growth and revenues. In addition, if we are found to have committed patent infringement we may be obligated to pay damages or be subject to other remedies, which could adversely affect the value of our common stock.

Some of our products may contain open source software which may be subject to restrictive open source licenses requiring us to make our source code available to third parties and potentially granting third parties certain rights to the software.

Some of our products may contain open source software which may be subject to restrictive open source licenses. Some of these licenses may require that we make our source code related to the licensed open source software available to third parties and/or license such software under the terms of a particular open source license potentially granting third parties certain rights to the software. We may incur legal expenses in defending against claims that we did not abide by such licenses. If our defenses are unsuccessful we may be enjoined from distributing products containing such open source software, be required to make the relevant source code available to third parties, be required to grant third parties certain rights to the software, be subject to potential damages or be required to remove the open source software from our products. Any of these outcomes could disrupt our distribution and sale of related products and adversely affect our revenues and the value of our common stock.

We depend upon our ability to obtain licenses for popular intellectual properties and our failure to secure such licenses on acceptable terms could adversely affect our future growth and success.

Our future success depends upon our ability to obtain licenses for popular intellectual properties. World Series of Poker®, KISS® and Ripley’s Believe It Or Not!® are among the intellectual properties that we currently license from third parties. We may not be successful in obtaining licenses for popular intellectual properties. Even if we are successful in these efforts, we may not have the ability to adapt or deploy them for the development of casino games, or be able to control or accurately predict the timing or cost of such development efforts or the commercial success of the resulting games.

We operate in a highly competitive market and may be unable to successfully compete which may harm our operating results.

We compete with a number of developers, manufacturers and distributors of similar products and technologies. Many of our competitors are large companies that have greater access to capital, marketing and development resources than we have. Larger competitors may have more resources to devote to research and development and may be able to more efficiently and effectively obtain regulatory approval. In addition, competitors with a larger installed base of games have an advantage in retaining the most space and best placement in casinos. These competitors may also have the advantage of being able to convert their installed games to newer models in order to maintain their share of casino floor space. Similarly, the casino management systems market is highly competitive. Pricing, product features and functionality, accuracy and reliability are key factors in determining a provider’s success in selling its system. Because of the high initial costs of installing a computerized monitoring system, customers for such systems generally do not change suppliers once they have installed a system. This may make it difficult for us to attract customers who have existing computerized monitoring systems.

 

41


Our business and revenues will be negatively affected if we are unable to compete effectively in the markets for our products and technologies. New competitors also may enter our key markets. Numerous factors may affect our ability to successfully compete and thus affect our future performance, including:

 

   

the relative popularity of our existing products and our ability to develop and introduce appealing new products;

 

   

our ability to obtain adequate space and favorable placement on casino gaming floors;

 

   

our ability to maintain existing regulatory approvals and to obtain further regulatory approvals as needed; and

 

   

our ability to enforce our existing intellectual property rights and to adequately secure, maintain and protect rights for new products.

*If gaming operators cancel the placement of our games or do not agree to recurring revenue arrangements, our revenues and growth could be adversely affected.

Under the terms of our current arrangements with gaming operators, our installed base of games may be replaced by competing products under certain circumstances, thus ending the recurring revenue stream or arrangement with such operator. Such replacement may result from competition, changes in economic conditions, technological requirements, obsolescence or declining popularity. During 2005, we commenced the process of repositioning our existing slot platform, which includes a focus on developing content through third-party developers. Our goal is to transition from the prior model to slot games delivered in a central server-based environment.

Furthermore, prominent placement of our games on the casino floor is necessary to maximize the amount of recurring revenues derived from each of our games. Our leases do not require the gaming operators to place our games in prominent locations. If we fail to maintain prominent locations in casinos, our games may not be played, resulting in a reduction of our recurring revenues.

We have historically placed our proprietary games in casinos primarily under leases which provide for a fixed rental payment or on the basis of revenue participation in the game’s operating results. Most of these lease agreements are for 12 to 36 months and are subject to cancellation by the operator that may involve 30- or 60-day prior notice of cancellation. We will continue to follow this model to the extent that there is interest amongst our customers.

*The gaming industry is highly regulated, and we must adhere to various regulations and maintain our licenses to continue our operations.

The distribution of gaming products and conduct of gaming operations are extensively regulated by various domestic and foreign gaming authorities. Although the laws of different jurisdictions vary in their technical requirements and are amended from time-to-time, virtually all jurisdictions in which we operate require registrations, licenses, findings of suitability, permits and other approvals, as well as documentation of qualifications, including evidence of the integrity, financial stability and responsibility of our officers, directors, major stockholders and key personnel. If we fail to comply with the laws and regulations to which we are subject, the applicable domestic or foreign gaming authority may impose significant penalties and restrictions on our operations, resulting in a material adverse effect on our revenues and future business. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for a description of the regulations that apply to our business.

Future authorizations or regulatory approvals may not be granted in a timely manner or at all which would adversely affect our results of operations.

We will be subject to regulation in any other jurisdiction where our customers may operate in the future. Future authorizations or approvals required by domestic and foreign gaming authorities may not be granted at all or as timely as we would like, and current or future authorizations may not be renewed. In addition, we may be unable to obtain the authorizations necessary to operate new products or new technologies or to operate our current products or technologies in new markets. In either case, our results of operations would likely be adversely affected. Gaming authorities can also place burdensome conditions and limits on future authorizations and approvals. If we fail to maintain or obtain a necessary registration, license, approval or finding of suitability, we may be prohibited from selling our products or technologies for use in the jurisdiction, or we may be required to sell them through other licensed entities at a reduced profit. The continued growth of markets for our products and technologies is contingent upon regulatory approvals by various federal, state, local and foreign gaming authorities. We cannot predict which new jurisdictions or markets, if any, will accept and which authorities will approve the operation of our gaming products and technologies, the timing of any such approvals or the level of our penetration in any such markets.

Enforcement of remedies or contracts against Native American tribes could be difficult.

Many of our contracts with Native American tribes are subject to sovereign immunity and tribal jurisdiction. If a dispute arises with respect to any of those agreements, it could be difficult for us to protect our rights. Native American tribes generally enjoy sovereign immunity from suit similar to that enjoyed by individual states and the United States. In order to sue a Native American tribe (or an agency or instrumentality of a Native American tribe), the tribe must have effectively waived its sovereign immunity with respect to the matter in dispute. Moreover, even if a Native American tribe were to waive sovereign immunity, such waiver may not be valid and in the absence of an effective waiver of sovereign immunity by a Native American tribe, we could be precluded from judicially enforcing any rights or remedies against that tribe.

Our business is closely tied to the casino industry and factors that negatively impact the casino industry may also negatively affect our ability to generate revenues.

Casinos and other gaming operators represent a significant portion of our customers. Therefore, factors that may negatively impact the casino industry may also negatively impact our future revenues. If casinos experience reduced patronage, revenues may be reduced as our games may not perform well and may be taken off of the casino floor altogether.

The level of casino patronage, and therefore our revenues, are affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including:

 

   

general economic conditions;

 

   

levels of disposable income of casino patrons;

 

   

downturn or loss in popularity of the gaming industry in general, and table and slot games in particular;

 

   

the relative popularity of entertainment alternatives to casino gaming;

 

   

the growth and number of legalized gaming jurisdictions;

 

   

local conditions in key gaming markets, including seasonal and weather-related factors;

 

   

increased transportation costs;

 

   

acts of terrorism and anti-terrorism efforts;

 

   

changes or proposed changes to tax laws;

 

   

increases in gaming taxes or fees;

 

   

legal and regulatory issues affecting the development, operation and licensing of casinos;

 

   

the availability and cost of capital to construct, expand or renovate new and existing casinos;

 

   

the level of new casino construction and renovation schedules of existing casinos; and

 

   

competitive conditions in the gaming industry and in particular gaming markets, including the effect of such conditions on the pricing of our games and products.

These factors significantly impact the demand for our products and technologies.

The gaming industry is sensitive to declines in the public acceptance of gaming. Public opinion can negatively affect the gaming industry and our future performance.

In the event that there is a decline in public acceptance of gaming, this may affect our ability to do business in some markets, either through unfavorable legislation affecting the introduction of gaming into emerging markets, or through legislative and regulatory changes in existing gaming markets which may adversely affect our ability to continue to sell and lease our games in those jurisdictions, or through resulting reduced casino patronage. We cannot assure you that the level of support for legalized gaming or the public use of leisure money in gaming activities will not decline.

 

43


*Economic, political and other risks associated with our international sales and operations could adversely affect our operating results.

Since we sell our products worldwide, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. Our sales to customers outside the United States, primarily Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia accounted for approximately 60% of our consolidated revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. We expect the percentage of our international sales to continue to increase during the remainder of 2007. Accordingly, our future results could be harmed by a variety of factors, including:

 

   

changes in foreign currency exchange rates;

 

   

exchange controls;

 

   

changes in regulatory requirements;

 

   

costs to comply with applicable laws;

 

   

changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic conditions;

 

   

tariffs and other trade protection measures;

 

   

import or export licensing requirements;

 

   

potentially negative consequences from changes in tax laws;

 

   

different regimes controlling the protection of our intellectual property;

 

   

difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations;

 

   

changing labor regulations;

 

   

requirements relating to withholding taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries;

 

   

restrictions on our ability to own or operate subsidiaries, make investments or acquire new businesses in these jurisdictions;

 

   

restrictions on our ability to repatriate dividends from our subsidiaries; and

 

   

violations under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Holders of our common stock are subject to the requirements of the gaming laws of all jurisdictions in which we are licensed.

Pursuant to applicable laws, gaming regulatory authorities in any jurisdiction in which we are subject to regulation may, in their discretion, require a holder of any of our securities to provide information, respond to questions, make filings, be investigated, licensed, qualified or found suitable to own our securities. Moreover, the holder of the securities making any such required application is generally required to pay all costs of the investigation, licensure, qualification or finding of suitability.

If any holder of our securities fails to comply with the requirements of any gaming authority, we have the right, at our option, to require such holder to dispose of such holder’s securities within the period specified by the applicable gaming law or to redeem the securities to the extent required to comply with the requirements of the applicable gaming law.

Additionally, if a gaming authority determines that a holder is unsuitable to own our securities, such holder will have no further right to exercise any voting or other rights conferred by the securities, to receive any dividends, distributions or other economic benefit or payments with respect to the securities or to continue its ownership or economic interest in our securities. We can be sanctioned if we permit any of the foregoing to occur, which may include the loss of our licenses.

We may not realize the benefits we expect from the acquisitions of VirtGame and EndX.

We will need to overcome significant challenges to realize any benefits or synergies from our acquisitions of VirtGame and EndX. These challenges include the timely, efficient and successful execution of a number of post-transaction integration activities, including:

 

   

integrating the technologies of the companies;

 

44


   

entering markets in which we have limited or no prior experience;

 

   

obtaining regulatory approval for the central server-based technology;

 

   

successfully completing the development of VirtGame and EndX technologies;

 

   

developing commercial products based on those technologies;

 

   

retaining and assimilating the key personnel of each company;

 

   

attracting additional customers for products based on VirtGame or EndX technologies;

 

   

implementing and maintaining uniform standards, controls, processes, procedures, policies and information systems; and

 

   

managing expenses of any undisclosed or potential legal liability of VirtGame or EndX.

The process of integrating operations and technology could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of one or more of our businesses and the loss of key personnel. The diversion of management’s attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the integration of VirtGame and EndX technologies could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. We may not succeed in addressing these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with these transactions. The inability to successfully integrate the technology and personnel of VirtGame and EndX, or any significant delay in achieving integration, including regulatory approval delays, could have a material adverse effect on us and, as a result, on the market price of our common stock.

Future acquisitions could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and strain our resources.

As part of our business strategy, we intend to continue to seek to acquire businesses, services and technologies that we believe could complement or expand our business, augment our market coverage, enhance our technical capabilities, provide us with valuable customer contacts or otherwise offer growth opportunities. If we fail to achieve the anticipated benefits of any acquisitions we complete, our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects may be impaired. Acquisitions and investments involve numerous risks, including:

 

   

difficulties in integrating operations, technologies, services, accounting and personnel;

 

   

difficulties in supporting and transitioning customers of our acquired companies to our technology platforms and business processes;

 

   

diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations;

 

   

difficulties in obtaining regulatory approval for technologies and products of acquired companies;

 

   

potential loss of key employees;

 

   

dilution of our existing stockholders if we finance acquisitions by issuing convertible debt or equity securities, which dilution could adversely affect the market price of our stock;

 

   

inability to generate sufficient revenues to offset acquisition or investment costs; and

 

   

potential write-offs of acquired assets.

Acquisitions also frequently result in recording of goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subject to potential impairments in the future that could harm our operating results. It is also possible that at some point in the future we may decide to enter new markets, thus subjecting ourselves to new risks associated with those markets.

 

45


Our business will be seriously jeopardized if we are unable to attract and retain key employees.

Our success depends on the continued contributions of our principal management, development and scientific personnel, and the ability to hire and retain key personnel, particularly in the technology area as we transition our business from manufacturing and distribution of slot machines and other hardware to game content and technology and continue to grow our existing businesses. We face intense competition for such personnel. The loss of services of any principal member of our management team could adversely impact our operations and ability to raise additional capital.

If our products or technologies contain defects, our reputation could be harmed and our results of operations adversely affected.

Some of our products and technologies are complex and may contain undetected defects. The occurrence of defects or malfunctions could result in financial losses for our customers and in turn termination of leases, licenses, cancellation of orders, product returns and diversion of our resources. Any of these occurrences could also result in the loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products or technologies and loss of sales.

As our business is subject to quarterly fluctuation, our operating results and stock price could be volatile, particularly on a quarterly basis.

Our quarterly revenue and net income may vary based on the timing of the opening of new gaming jurisdictions, the opening or closing of casinos or the expansion or contraction of existing casinos, gaming regulatory approval or denial of our products and corporate licenses, the introduction of new products or the seasonality of customer capital budgets, and our operating results have historically been lower in quarters with lower sales. In addition, historically, up to approximately 40% of our revenues have been based on cash-based licensing transactions, the majority of which are generated from intellectual property, content and technology licensing activities. Most of these non-recurring transactional revenues are from gaming supplier original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and service providers. Each such transaction is unique, depending on the nature, size, scope and breadth of the intellectual property, content, or technology that is being licensed and/or the rights the licensee or the buyer wishes to obtain. Also, these licensing transactions often take several months, and in some cases, several quarters, to negotiate and consummate. As a result, our quarterly revenues and net income may vary based on how and when we record these cash-based transactions, and our operating results and stock price could be volatile, particularly on a quarterly basis.

*We have substantial debt and debt service requirements, which could have an adverse impact on our business and the value of our common stock.

On June 30, 2007, our total outstanding debt was approximately $65.8 million. On August 4, 2006, we entered into a $22.5 million, three-year revolving credit facility to replace the existing $10 million facility we entered into in April 2006. Outstanding principal under the facility will bear interest at a reference rate of interest plus an applicable margin (currently 11.75 %) or a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin. We may incur additional debt in the future. Substantial debt may make it more difficult for us to operate and effectively compete in the gaming industry. The degree to which we and/or one or more of our subsidiaries are leveraged could have important adverse consequences on our value as follows:

 

   

it may be difficult for us to make payments on our outstanding indebtedness;

 

   

a significant portion of our cash flows from operations must be dedicated to debt service and will not be available for other purposes that would otherwise be operationally value-enhancing uses of such funds;

 

   

our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, potential acquisition opportunities and other purposes may be limited;

 

   

we may be limited in our ability to withstand competitive pressures and may have reduced financial flexibility in responding to changing business, regulatory and economic conditions in the gaming industry;

 

   

we may be at a competitive disadvantage because we may be more highly leveraged than our competitors and, as a result, more restricted in our ability to invest in our growth and expansion;

 

   

it may cause us to fail to comply with applicable debt covenants and could result in an event of default that could result in all of our indebtedness being immediately due and payable; and

 

   

if new debt is added to our and our subsidiaries’ current debt levels, the related risks that we and they now face could intensify.

Realization of any of these factors could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

        If our future cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to meet our debt obligations and commitments, we may be forced to reduce or delay activities and capital expenditures, obtain additional equity capital or restructure or refinance our debt. In the event that we are unable to do so, we may be left without sufficient liquidity and we may not be able to meet our debt service requirements. If we fail to comply with the terms of our debt obligations, including the terms of our senior secured credit facility and our 11.875% senior secured notes due 2008, our lenders will have the right to accelerate the maturity of that debt and foreclose upon the collateral securing that debt. For example, in the first and second quarters of 2007 we required a waiver from our senior lender of certain financial covenants. We also recently obtained a waiver from our senior lender of certain borrowing base and qualified cash covenants, and believe it is likely that we will require a waiver of financial covenants applicable to the third quarter of 2007. Substantially all of our assets are pledged as security to the lenders under our senior secured credit facility and holders of our Notes. The ability of our stockholders to participate in the distribution of our assets upon our liquidation or recapitalization will be subject to the prior claims of our secured and unsecured creditors. Any foreclosure of our assets by such creditors will materially reduce the assets available for distribution to our stockholders.

 

46


Our lenders have imposed numerous debt covenants that include financial and operating restrictions that may adversely affect how we conduct our business and potentially reduce our revenues and affect the value of our common stock.

We expect to continue to be subject to numerous covenants in our debt agreements that impose financial and operating restrictions on our business. These restrictions may affect our ability to operate our business, may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise, and may adversely affect the conduct and competitiveness of our current business, which could in turn reduce our revenues and thus affect the value of our common stock. Specifically, these covenants may place restrictions on our ability to, among other things:

 

   

incur more debt;

 

   

pay dividends, redeem or repurchase our stock or make other distributions;

 

   

make acquisitions or investments;

 

   

use assets as security in other transactions;

 

   

enter into transactions with affiliates;

 

   

merge or consolidate with others;

 

   

dispose of assets or use asset sale proceeds;

 

   

create liens on our assets;

 

   

extend credit;

 

   

amend agreements related to existing indebtedness; or

 

   

amend our material contracts.

The terms of our indebtedness require that we meet a number of financial ratios and tests on a quarterly and annual basis, including senior debt leverage ratio, total debt leverage ratio, a minimum EBITDA test, a minimum cash plus availability test and a minimum interest coverage test. Our ability to meet these ratios and tests and to comply with other provisions governing our indebtedness may be affected by changes in economic or business conditions or other events beyond our control. For example, in the first and second quarters of 2007 we required a waiver from our senior lender of certain financial covenants. We also recently obtained a waiver from our senior lender of certain borrowing base and qualified cash covenants, and believe it is likely that we will require a waiver of financial covenants applicable to the third quarter of 2007. Our failure to comply with our debt-related obligations could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in an acceleration of our indebtedness, including without limitation, our senior secured credit facility and our senior secured notes. This in turn could have a material adverse effect on our operations, our revenues and thus our common stock value.

Additionally, the covenants governing our indebtedness restrict the operations of our subsidiaries, including, in some cases, limiting the ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us, and these limitations could impair our ability to meet such financial ratios and tests.

Lastly, we are required by our senior secured notes to offer to repurchase or make certain payments on our debt at times when we may lack the financial resources to do so, such as upon a change of control. These expenditures may materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to maintain or grow our business as payments to satisfy the debt will be diverted away from any investment in the growth of our business, thus potentially affecting the value of our common stock.

*Whether or not the proposed sale of our table games division is completed, we will incur substantial costs.

The sale of our table games division will be complex, time consuming and expensive, and may disrupt our business and result in the loss of personnel. The diversion of management’s attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the transaction also could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. We will incur substantial costs related to the proposed sale of our table games division, including certain fees for financial advisors, attorneys and accountants, whether or not the transaction is completed. In addition, we expect to continue to incur significant expenses related to the operation of our table games division prior to the proposed sale.

If our remaining brand license agreements with content providers are terminated or are not renewed, or if we breach our obligations under any license agreement, our revenues could be reduced.

Revenues from our slot and table games segment are derived primarily from the popularity of our branded table and slot games, including licensed brands such as World Series of Poker®, Caribbean Stud®, KISS®, and Beach Boys®, among others. We generally develop these games under multi-year license agreements which contain options to renew.

Any termination or failure to renew a license agreement with our branded content providers could have a material, adverse effect on our revenues and operations. For example, Hasbro declined to renew the Yahtzee and Battleship brands with us as of December 15, 2004. In addition, we are engaged in litigation with Hasbro related to a claim for past due royalties on slot game titles that we licensed from Hasbro, and we cannot assure you that this litigation will be resolved or that Hasbro will renew other license agreements with us for other Hasbro brands. For example, in the second quarter of 2006 our Clue® and Trivial Pursuit® license arrangements with Hasbro expired.

Each license agreement contains provisions that obligate us to perform in a certain manner. If we breach these obligations, the licensor may terminate the license agreement following a specified period that varies from immediate termination to thirty days, depending upon the agreement and the type of breach. In addition, any breach of our obligations may adversely affect our relationship with the licensor, as well as deter the licensor and other third parties from licensing additional brands to us. Our ability to renew certain of our license agreements for an additional term may be conditioned upon our having paid minimum royalties to the licensor during the applicable initial term. If we do not generate sufficient revenues to pay the minimum royalties or otherwise are unable to renew any of our license agreements with the licensor, our future revenues may be materially reduced.

Risks Relating to Our Securities

*The market price of our common stock may decline as a result of the proposed sale of our table games division.

The market price of our common stock may decline as a result of the proposed sale of our table games division for a number of reasons, including:

 

   

uncertainty surrounding the proposed transaction;

 

   

the failure to complete the proposed sale in a timely manner, on favorable terms and conditions, or at all;

 

   

the failure of the proposed sale to result in cash proceeds at levels that may be anticipated by financial or industry analysts.

The share price of our common stock may be volatile and could decline substantially.

The trading price of our common stock has been volatile and is likely to continue to be volatile. Our stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of issues including broad market factors that may have a material adverse impact on our stock price, regardless of actual performance. These factors include:

 

   

periodic variations in the actual or anticipated financial results of our business or of our competitors;

 

   

downward revisions in securities analysts’ estimates of our future operating results or of the future operating results of our competitors;

 

   

material announcements by us or our competitors;

 

   

quarterly fluctuations in non-recurring revenues from cash-based licensing transactions;

 

   

public sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock; and

 

   

adverse changes in general market conditions or economic trends or in conditions or trends in the markets in which we operate.

If our quarterly results are below the expectations of securities market analysts and investors, the price of our common stock may decline.

Many factors, including those described in this “Risk Factors” section, can affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, which makes the prediction of our financial results difficult. These factors include:

 

   

changes in market conditions that can affect the demand for the products we sell;

 

   

quarterly fluctuations in non-recurring revenues from cash-based licensing transactions;

 

   

general economic conditions that affect the availability of disposable income among consumers; and

 

   

the actions of our competitors.

If our quarterly operating results fall below the expectations of securities market analysts and investors due to these or other risks, securities analysts may downgrade our common stock and some of our stockholders may sell their shares, which could adversely affect the trading prices of our common stock. Additionally, in the past, companies that have experienced declines in the trading price of their shares due to events of this nature have been the subject of securities class action litigation. If we become involved in a securities class action litigation in the future, it could result in substantial costs and diversion of our management’s attention and resources, thus harming our business.

 

48


*Future sales of our common stock may depress our stock price.

The market price for our common stock could decline as a result of sales by existing stockholders of large numbers of shares of our common stock or the perception that such sales may occur. Such sales of our common stock also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at the prices that we deem appropriate. Of the approximately 34.9 million shares that are outstanding as of June 30, 2007, approximately 34 million shares generally are freely tradable in the public market.

Additionally, as of June 30, 2007, there were outstanding options, restricted share grants, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 5.9 million of our shares and we may grant options to purchase up to approximately 1.7 million additional shares under our stock option plans. Shares issued on exercise of those instruments would be freely tradable in the public market, except for any that might be acquired by our officers or directors.

We have the ability to issue additional equity securities, which would lead to dilution of our issued and outstanding common stock.

The issuance of additional equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities would result in dilution of then-existing stockholders’ equity interests in us. Our board of directors has the authority to issue, without vote or action of stockholders, up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and has the ability to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of any such series. Any such series of preferred stock could contain dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences or other rights superior to the rights of holders of our common stock. If we issue convertible preferred stock, a subsequent conversion may dilute the current common stockholders’ interest. Our board of directors has no present intention of issuing any such preferred stock, but reserves the right to do so in the future.

We do not intend to pay cash dividends. As a result, stockholders will benefit from an investment in our common stock only if it appreciates in value.

We do not plan to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, since we currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance our operations and further expansion and growth of our business, including acquisitions. Moreover, the covenants governing our indebtedness restrict our ability to pay and declare dividends without the consent of the applicable lenders.

As a result, the success of an investment in our common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in its value. We cannot guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which stockholders have purchased their shares.

Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents, our stockholder rights plan and Nevada law could make a third-party acquisition of us difficult and therefore could affect the price investors may be willing to pay for our common stock.

The anti-takeover provisions in our articles of incorporation, our bylaws, our stockholder rights plan and Nevada law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the approval of our board of directors. Under these provisions, we could delay, deter or prevent a takeover attempt or third-party acquisition that certain of our stockholders may consider to be in their best interests, including a takeover attempt that may result in a premium over the market price of our common stock. In addition, these provisions may prevent the market price of our common stock from increasing substantially

in response to actual or rumored takeover attempts and also may prevent changes in our management. Because these anti-takeover provisions may result in our being perceived as a potentially more difficult takeover target, this may affect the price investors are willing to pay for shares of our common stock.

Item 5. Other Information

On July 16, 2007, the Company entered into a Waiver Letter and Amendment (the “Amendment”) by and among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, Ableco Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Ableco”), as Collateral Agent, and Ableco, as Administrative Agent. The Amendment amends that certain Amended and Restated Financing Agreement (the “Financing Agreement”), dated as of August 4, 2006, by and among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, Ableco, as Collateral Agent, and Ableco, as Administrative Agent.

Pursuant to the Amendment, Ableco agreed to waive compliance with certain financial covenants under the Financing Agreement and also agreed to, among other things, consent to the sale of the Company’s table game assets to Shuffle Master under certain conditions specified in the Amendment. In consideration for the waiver, the Company agreed to pay Ableco a fee of $1,200,000 payable at the time and under the circumstances described in the Amendment.
