Executive Comments

"Clearly, 2011 stands as our best year ever," declared Bill O'Hara, Chief Operating Officer of Galaxy Gaming. "We significantly enhanced our product offerings, and therefore our market presence, with the TableMAX, Prime Table Games and Lakes Entertainment transactions. It is noteworthy to recognize that we have subsequently been able to increase the number of installed placements associated with each of these three acquisitions."

Regarding the increased net loss, Robert Saucier, Galaxy's CEO explained, "In this instance, we do not believe the increase in our net loss is necessarily a negative, once you understand that it was due primarily to amortization expense associated with our acquisition of Prime Table Games. We are growing our recurring revenues, increasing our gross margins, improving our EBITDA and generating cash while sheltering ourselves from future income tax payments. At this stage in our growth, these are all positives."

Commenting on the prospective outlook for 2012, Mr. Saucier projected, "Right now as our leadership team sees it, we are well positioned to grow organically in 2012. Although we will continue to seek out and negotiate smart acquisitions and joint ventures, we are striving to increase our year-end run rate of $6 million at least 30% to $8 million or more by the end of 2012 through internal growth. Our committed effort towards growing our recurring revenues together with our continued focus on improved internal efficiencies could result in increased EBITDA throughout 2012."
