NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “Galaxy Gaming, Inc.,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company,” refer to Galaxy Gaming, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Galaxy Gaming”).

We are an established global gaming company specializing in the design, development, acquisition, assembly, marketing and licensing of proprietary casino table games and associated technology, platforms and systems for the casino gaming industry. Casinos use our proprietary products and services to enhance their gaming operations and improve their profitability, productivity and security, as well as to offer popular cutting-edge gaming entertainment content and technology to their players. We market our products and services to online casinos worldwide and to land-based casino gaming companies in North America, the Caribbean, Central America, the United Kingdom, Europe and Africa as well as to cruise ship companies. We license our products and services for use solely in legalized gaming markets. We also license our content and distribute content from other companies to iGaming operators throughout the world.

Share Redemption. On May 6, 2019, we redeemed all 23,271,667 shares of our common stock held by Triangulum Partners, LLC (“Triangulum”), an entity controlled by Robert B. Saucier, Galaxy Gaming's founder, and, prior to the redemption, the holder of a majority of our outstanding common stock. Our Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) provide that if certain events occur in relation to a stockholder that is required to undergo a gaming suitability review or similar investigative process, we have the option to purchase all or any part of such stockholder’s shares at a price per share that is equal to the average closing share price over the thirty calendar days preceding the purchase. The average closing share price over the thirty calendar days preceding the redemption was $1.68 per share.

The consideration owed to Triangulum for the redemption is $39,096,401 (the “Redemption Consideration Obligation”). See Note 10.

There is ongoing litigation between the Company and Triangulum related to the redemption and other matters. See Note 11.

Membership Interest Purchase Agreement. On August 21, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the member interests in Progressive Games Partners LLC (“PGP”). The entirety of the purchase price ($10,414,528) and transaction-related costs ($127,586) were allocated to customer relationships and are included in Other intangible assets, net, on the Company’s balance sheet. The cash portion of the purchase price was $6,425,000, and the balance of the purchase price was satisfied through the issuance of 3,141,361 shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of $1.27 per share on the date of the acquisition. The shares issued are being held in escrow pending the performance of the assets acquired during the twelve months following the acquisition. See Note 7 to our audited financial statements included in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Financial Information” of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021 (the “2020 10-K”) for further details. The Company also acquired certain receivables and payables in the net amount of $581,885, which was to be remitted to the sellers of PGP as the receivables and payables were settled. As of March 31, 2021, the remaining balance owed to the sellers was $55,186.

Management determined that, for accounting purposes, the PGP transaction did not meet the definition of a business combination and, therefore, was accounted for as an asset acquisition.

COVID-19. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic related to the COVID-19 outbreak, which led to a global health emergency. The public health impact of the outbreak continues to remain largely unknown and still evolving. The related health crisis could continue to adversely affect the global economy, resulting in continued economic downturn that could impact demand for our products.

On March 17, 2020, the Company announced that it suspended billing to customers who had closed their doors due to the COVID-19 outbreak. As a result, we did not earn revenue for the use of our games by our physical casino customers during the time that they were closed. In general, the online gaming customers who license our games through our distributor remained and continue to remain in operation in spite of the COVID-19 crisis. We earned revenue from them during the crisis and expect to continue to do so, but potentially at levels that may be lower than we previously received.

Given the uncertainties around casino re-openings, we instituted a phased billing approach for our clients through fiscal year 2020, which resulted in us realizing substantially less revenue than we might otherwise expect. In addition, because of COVID-19-related financial pressures on our physical casino customers, there can be no assurance that our accounts receivable will be paid timely for revenues earned prior to the shutdowns. Finally, the Company was notified by some of the land-based casinos that they would be extending their payment terms.

We also rely on third-party suppliers and manufacturers in China, many of whom were shut down or severely cut back production during some portion of 2020. Although this has not had a material effect on our supply chain, any future disruption of our suppliers and their contract manufacturers may impact our sales and operating results going forward.

8

Because of the uncertainties of COVID-19, the Company drew on its Revolving Loan in the amount of $1,000,000 on March 12, 2020. Pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), the Federal Reserve created the Main Street Priority Loan Program (“MSPLP”) to provide financing for small and medium-sized businesses. On October 26, 2020, the Company borrowed $4,000,000 from Zions Bancorporation N.A., dba Nevada State Bank under this program. See Note 10.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation. The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements contain all necessary adjustments (including all those of a recurring nature and those necessary in order for the financial statements to be not misleading) and all disclosures to present fairly our financial position and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented.  

These unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our 2020 10-K.

The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

Basis of accounting. The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

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

Consolidation. The financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, PGP. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

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

Cash and cash equivalents. We consider cash on hand and cash in banks as cash. We consider certificates of deposit and other short-term securities with maturities of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. Our cash in bank balances are deposited in insured banking institutions, which are insured up to $250,000 per account. To date, we have not experienced uninsured losses, and we believe the risk of future loss is negligible.

Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are stated at face value less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on specific customer reviews, historical collection trends and current economic and business conditions.

Inventory. Inventory consists of ancillary products such as signs, layouts and bases for the various games and electronic devices and components to support all our electronic enhancements used on casino table games (“Enhanced Table Systems”), and we maintain inventory levels based on historical and industry trends. We regularly assess inventory quantities for excess and obsolescence primarily based on forecasted product demand. Inventory is valued at the lower of net realizable value or cost, which is determined by the average cost method.

Assets deployed at client locations, net. Our Enhanced Table Systems are assembled by us and accounted for as inventory until deployed at our casino clients’ premises (Note 6). Once deployed and placed into service at client locations, the assets are transferred from inventory and reported as assets deployed at client locations. These assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on assets deployed at client locations is calculated using the straight-line method over a three-year period.

Property and equipment, net. Property and equipment are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives (three to five years) using the straight-line method of depreciation (Note 5). Property and equipment are analyzed for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable and exceeds their fair value.

Goodwill. Goodwill (Note 7) is assessed for impairment at least annually or at other times during the year if events or circumstances indicate that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting asset is below the carrying amount. If found to be impaired, the carrying amount will be reduced, and an impairment loss will be recognized. The Company performed a qualitative evaluation of goodwill impairment at March 31, 2021 and determined it was not necessary to perform a quantitative assessment As a result, no impairment was recorded in the period ended March 31, 2021.

9

Other intangible assets, net. The following intangible assets have finite lives and are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated economic lives as follows:

Other intangible assets (Note 7) are analyzed for potential impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable and exceeds the fair value, which is the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the intangible assets. No impairment was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Interest rates swap agreement. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on its floating rate long-term debt. The interest rate swap agreement matures May 1, 2021. The interest rate swap has not been designated a hedging instrument and is adjusted to fair value through earnings in the Company’s statements of operations.

Fair value of financial instruments. We estimate fair value for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value, requires certain disclosures and discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

The estimated fair values of cash equivalents,  accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt approximates its carrying value based upon our expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate swap agreement was the only financial instrument measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis based on valuation reports provided by counterparties, which are classified as level 2 inputs.

Leases. We account for lease components (such as rent payments) separately from non-lease components (such as common-area maintenance costs, real estate and sales taxes and insurance costs). Operating and finance leases with terms greater than 12 months are recorded on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets with corresponding lease liabilities. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis using the discount rate implicit in each lease or our incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement date (Note 9).

Revenue recognition. We account for our revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. See Note 3.

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

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

Foreign currency translation. The functional currency for PGP is the Euro. Gains and losses from settlement of transactions involving foreign currency amounts are included in other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses resulting from translating assets and liabilities from the functional currency to U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or (loss) in the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit.

Net income per share. Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share is similar to basic, except that the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased by the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and restricted stock, if applicable, during the year.

Segmented Information. We define operating segments as components of our enterprise for which separate financial information is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision-makers to evaluate performance and to make operating decisions. We currently operate our business as one operating segment which generates revenue from the licensing of intellectual property.

10

Share-based compensation. We recognize compensation expense for all restricted stock and stock option awards made to employees, directors and independent contractors. The fair value of restricted stock is measured using the grant date trading price of our stock. The fair value of stock option awards (Note 13) is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. We have elected to recognize compensation expense for all options with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the entire option. The determination of fair value using the Black-Scholes pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. We estimate volatility based on historical volatility of our common stock, and estimate the expected term based on several criteria, including the vesting period of the grant and the term of the award. We estimate employee stock option exercise behavior based on actual historical exercise activity and assumptions regarding future exercise activity of unexercised, outstanding options.

Other significant accounting policies. See Note 2 in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Financial Information” included in our 2020 10-K.

Recently adopted accounting standards. Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We have adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2021, and its adoption does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

New accounting standards not yet adopted. Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASU 2020-02 provides updated guidance on how an entity should measure credit losses on financial instruments and delayed the effective date of Topic 326 for smaller reporting companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements or related disclosures.

NOTE 3. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue recognition. We generate revenue primarily from the licensing of our intellectual property. We recognize revenue under recurring fee license contracts monthly as we satisfy our performance obligation, which consists of granting the customer the right to use our intellectual property. Amounts billed are determined based on flat rates or usage rates stipulated in the customer contract.

Disaggregation of revenue

The following table disaggregates our revenue by geographic location for the following periods:

Contract liabilities. Amounts billed and cash received in advance of performance obligations fulfilled are recorded as contract liabilities and recognized as performance obligations are fulfilled.

Lessee

We have operating leases for our corporate office, two satellite facilities in the state of Washington and for certain equipment. We account for lease components (such as rent payments) separately from the non-lease components (such as common-area maintenance costs, real estate and sales taxes and insurance costs). The discount rate represents the interest rate implicit in each lease or our incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement date.

As of March 31, 2021, our leases have remaining lease terms ranging from three months to 69 months.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases is as follows:

NOTE 10. LONG-TERM LIABILITIES

Long-term liabilities consisted of the following at:

14

Share Redemption Consideration Obligation. On May 6, 2019, we issued a promissory note in the face amount of $39,096,401 to Triangulum in connection with the share redemption disclosed in Note 1. In the litigation that followed the share redemption (Note 11), Triangulum is disputing, among other things, the validity of the note and has not accepted its terms. Because Triangulum disputes the promissory note issued by the Company and its terms, the promissory note has not been given accounting effect in the Company’s financial statements. The Company has instead recorded a long-term obligation payable to Triangulum, based on the redemption value specified in our Articles of Incorporation. The obligation is classified as long-term because we do not expect that a final agreement with respect to the litigation will be reached between the parties in the next twelve months. We may repay the Redemption Consideration Obligation at any time but no later than May 6, 2029; however, there can be no assurance that Triangulum will accept such payments. Additional share redemption consideration is being accrued at 2% on the Redemption Consideration Obligation, and we paid the first annual payment on May 5, 2020, in the amount of $781,928, which was accepted by Triangulum. The Redemption Consideration Obligation is unsecured and is subordinated to our existing and future indebtedness. Interest payments were made to Triangulum, in a timely fashion in May of 2020 and May of 2021.

Nevada State Bank (“NSB”) Credit Agreement. The Company is party to a Credit Agreement with Zions Bancorporation, N.A. dba Nevada State Bank (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a Term Loan in the initial amount of $11,000,000 and a Revolving Loan in the amount of $1,000,000. On March 12, 2020, the Company drew down $1,000,000 on the Revolving Loan component of the Credit Agreement. At March 31, 2021, the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan component of the Credit Agreement was $7,022,300, bringing the total amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2021, to $8,022,300.

On March 29, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Zions Bancorporation, N.A. dba Nevada State Bank (“the A&R Credit Agreement”). The A&R Credit Agreement replaced the original Credit Agreement entered into by the Company with Zions Bancorporation, N.A. dba Nevada State Bank on April 24, 2018 and last modified on November 16, 2020. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a Term Loan in the amount of $7,022,300 and a Revolving Loan in the amount of $1,000,000. If not paid earlier, amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan mature on April 24, 2022, and amounts outstanding under the Term Loan mature on April 24, 2023.

Under the A&R Credit Agreement, outstanding balances accrue interest based on one-month U.S. dollar London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 3.50% or 4.00%, depending on our Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement). Effective December 31, 2021, LIBOR will no longer serve as a reference rate for bank loans, among other investment classes. The A&R Credit Agreement stipulates that a substitute index rate will be selected and used in lieu of LIBOR.

The A&R Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative financial covenants (as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement) and other restrictions customary for borrowings of this nature. In particular, we are required to maintain (i) a quarterly minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.25x; (ii) a quarterly maximum Total Leverage ratio of 22.50x for the quarter ending March 31, 2021, 10.00x for quarter ending June 30, 2021, 6.50x for the quarter ending September 30, 2021 with semi-annual step-downs of 0.25x commencing December 31, 2021 and quarterly thereafter; (iii) a quarterly maximum Senior Leverage ratio of 5.25x for the quarter ending March 31, 2021, 2.50x for the quarter ending June 30, 2021 and 2.00x quarterly thereafter; (iv) a quarterly Minimum EBITDA covenant of $2.4 million for each of the quarters ending March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 and $8.0 million quarterly thereafter; (v) a quarterly Minimum Liquidity covenant requiring the Company to have cash and cash equivalents of no less than $1.5 million at quarter ends through and including June 30, 2021 and $2.5 million quarterly thereafter; and (vi) a yearly maximum Maintenance Capital Expenditure covenant of 5% of total revenues for the prior year. The Company was in compliance with its affirmative and negative financial covenants as of March 31, 2021.  

The obligations under the A&R Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, PGP is also a guarantor of the A&R Credit Agreement and related agreements.

Main Street Priority Loan Borrowings (“MSPLP”). On October 26, 2020, the Company obtained an unsecured loan of $4,000,000 through Zions Bancorporation, N.A. dba Nevada State Bank under section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act.

The MSPLP bears interest at a rate of three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR plus 300 basis points (initially 3.215%), and interest payments during the first year will deferred and added to the loan balance. The MSPLP has a five-year final maturity, with 15% of principal amortizing in each of years three and four. The MSPLP, plus accrued and unpaid interest, may be prepaid at any time at par. While the MSPLP is outstanding, and for one year after it is repaid in full, the Company may not 1) repurchase stock, pay dividends or make other distributions, or 2) pay compensation to executive officers that exceeds the total compensation they received in 2019. The entire outstanding principal balance of the MSPLP, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, is due and payable in full on October 26, 2025. The terms of the MSPLP provide for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to a failure to make payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations and covenants, and the occurrence of certain events. The MSPLP is secured by a security interest in the assets of the Company, which security interest is pari passu with the security interest granted under the Credit Agreement.

As of March 31, 2021, future maturities of our long-term liabilities are as follows:    

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Concentration of risk. We are exposed to risks associated with clients who represent a significant portion of total revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, we had the following client revenue concentrations:

Legal proceedings. In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory government investigations and other matters, including those in which we are a plaintiff or defendant, that are complex in nature and have outcomes that are difficult to predict.

As discussed in Note 1, we redeemed the shares of our common stock held by Triangulum, an entity controlled by Robert B. Saucier, the Company’s founder, and, prior to the redemption, the holder of a majority of our outstanding common stock.

On May 6, 2019, the Company redeemed the shares of our common stock held by Triangulum. Also on May 6, 2019, the Company filed a lawsuit seeking: (i) a declaratory judgment that it acted lawfully and in full compliance with the Articles when it redeemed the Triangulum shares and (ii) certain remedies for breach of fiduciary duty and breach of contract by Triangulum and its Managing Member, Mr. Saucier (the “Triangulum Lawsuit”). The suit alleges that the redemption and the other relief sought by the Company are appropriate and in accordance with the Articles.

The defendants to the Triangulum Lawsuit responded to the complaint, and Triangulum filed counterclaims. Triangulum also filed a Motion seeking a mandatory injunction requiring the Company to either reissue shares to Triangulum or reissue shares to be held in a constructive trust for Triangulum (the “Injunction Motion”). On July 11, 2019, the Nevada district court denied Triangulum’s Injunction Motion, finding, among other things, that the business judgment rule applies to the Board’s redemption decisions and the decisions were in the Company’s best interests. On September 6, 2019, Triangulum appealed the denial of the Injunction Motion to the Nevada Supreme Court. The Company submitted its brief in opposition, and Triangulum filed its reply brief. Recently, on January 13, 2021, the Nevada Supreme Court heard oral argument on Triangulum’s appeal. On March 26, 2021, the Nevada Supreme Court affirmed the ruling of the District Court denying Triangulum’s Injunction Motion, the effect of which is to preclude the re-issuance of any shares of Galaxy stock to Triangulum.

On October 18, 2019, Saucier filed counterclaims against the Company and its Chairman of the Board, Mark Lipparelli, including a breach of contract claim alleging that the Company was obligated to pay Saucier his year-end bonus despite his resignation. The Company and Chairman Lipparelli filed an answer to the counterclaims.

Subsequent to its original counterclaims, Triangulum filed amended counterclaims, which the Company and its Directors moved to dismiss on a number of legal grounds (the “Motion to Dismiss”). The Court denied the Motion to Dismiss. The Company and its Directors filed a writ petition challenging the ruling, which the Nevada Supreme Court denied on January 23, 2020.

On May 6, 2020, Saucier made a demand of the Company under our Bylaws and an Indemnification Agreement between Saucier and the Company, for indemnity and advancement of funds seeking repayment of his attorneys’ fees and expenses he allegedly incurred in connection with the Company’s claims against him in the Triangulum Lawsuit. An independent counsel, selected per the terms of the Indemnification Agreement, concluded that Saucier was entitled to a small amount of indemnity funds related to the time he was employed by the Company, but denied an entitlement to indemnification thereafter.

On May 19, 2020, Saucier commenced a separate action in Nevada district court by filing a complaint he verified as true, seeking advancement of indemnification fees to which he claims an entitlement under the Bylaws and an Indemnification Agreement (the “Advancement Lawsuit”). The Company filed its opposition on June 4, 2020. Saucier’s Motion was denied in a hearing that occurred on June 24, 2020. Saucier filed a notice of his appeal of the Nevada district court’s decision in the Advancement Lawsuit to the Nevada Supreme Court on August 10, 2020. Saucier subsequently moved for attorneys' fees related to the filing of the Advancement Lawsuit, which the Nevada district court granted, and the Company filed a notice of appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court. The Company filed its opening appeal brief. When Saucier filed a supplemental motion for attorneys’ fees, the Nevada district court denied his motion, finding the fees incurred to be unreasonable, among other things. Saucier also appealed this ruling of the Nevada district court.

On July 22, 2020, in the Triangulum Lawsuit, the Company and its Directors filed a special motion to dismiss most of Triangulum and Saucier’s counterclaims under Nevada anti-SLAPP statute (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) because Triangulum and Saucier seek to impose liability on the Company and its Directors based upon their privileged communications with regulators. The Nevada district court denied the motion, and the Company and its Directors appealed the order to the Nevada Supreme Court.  Discovery in the Triangulum Lawsuit is stayed pending the outcome of this appeal.

The appeals to the Nevada Supreme Court by both Saucier and the Company in the Triangulum Lawsuit and the Advancement Lawsuit were referred to the Nevada Supreme Court’s mandatory Settlement Program. A consolidated settlement conference occurred on November 16, 2020, with no resolution of any of the issues on appeal or the lawsuit. The Nevada Supreme Court subsequently issued briefing schedules on the three appeals.

On November 24, 2020, Triangulum filed a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment in the Triangulum Lawsuit in the Nevada district court, seeking a ruling that the Company violated Nevada law and its Articles by issuing a promissory note as consideration for the redeemed shares and that the redemption was ineffective as a matter of law (the “Triangulum MPSJ”). The Company opposed Triangulum’s MPSJ and filed its own Countermotion for Summary Judgment (the “CMSJ”), seeking a ruling that as a matter of law the business judgement rule applies and prohibits any judicial review of the Board’s decisions related to the redemption.  During the January 20, 2021 hearing on both motions, the Nevada district court denied Triangulum’s MPSJ, finding that Nevada statutes allow for the payment of redemption consideration in the form of a promissory note and that the Company’s decisions to redeem and to issue a promissory note as consideration for the redemption are subject to the business judgment rule. The court further found again that the redeemed shares have been actually cancelled and cannot be placed in a constructive trust. The court also denied the Company’s CMSJ, without prejudice for the Company to refile after further discovery. On April 23, 2021, Triangulum appealed the District court’s denial of its MPSJ.

On December 18, 2020 Saucier filed a separate lawsuit in Nevada district court (which was served on January 21, 2021), alleging breach of contract related to his demand for indemnity from the Company (the “Indemnity Lawsuit”). Similar to the Company’s position in the Advancement Lawsuit discussed above, the Company denies that he is entitled to indemnity and moved to dismiss the action on February 16, 2021. The Company filed a Motion to Reassign the case to the Judge presiding over the Triangulum Lawsuit and the Advancement Lawsuit. On February 18, 2021, the Company’s Motion to Reassign was granted. On February 16, 2021, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Indemnity Lawsuit. The Company’s Motion to Dismiss was denied on April 19, 2021. The Company will respond in a timely manner.

As mentioned above, discovery in the Triangulum Lawsuit has been stayed as a result of the Company’s appeal of the Anti-SLAPP motion decision to the Nevada Supreme Court. As such, the previously set April 2021 trial date cannot proceed until the discovery stay is lifted and after additional discovery proceeds.

In September 2018, we were served with a complaint by TableMax Corporation (“TMAX”) regarding an Operation and License Agreement executed between TMax and Galaxy in February 2011 (the “TMAX Agreement”). We filed an answer denying the allegations and filed a partial motion for summary judgment seeking dismissal of the plaintiff’s claims. The suit was dismissed, subject to the right of the plaintiff to file an amended complaint on or before March 20, 2019.  The plaintiff did not file an amended complaint within the time period set by the Judge. After that time, the Company considered the matter closed. TMAX filed a Motion for Leave to Amend their Complaint, which was granted by the Judge on May 11, 2020. On May 26, 2020 TMAX filed an Amended Complaint against the Company and other Co-Defendants. The Company filed a Motion To Enforce Settlement Or, In The Alternative, Motion To Dismiss And/Or For Summary Judgement and Request For Sanctions, on April 30, 2021.

An unexpected adverse judgment in any pending litigation could cause a material impact on our business operations, intellectual property, results of operations or financial position. Unless otherwise expressly stated, we believe costs associated with litigation will not have a material impact on our financial position or liquidity but may be material to the results of operations in any given period and accordingly, no provision for loss has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements related to these matters.

NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES

Our forecasted annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) at March 31, 2021 was 12.92%, as compared to 23.57% at March 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, utilization of tax credits, foreign rate differential, Subpart F inclusion and a change in valuation allowance as a result of changes in estimates of current-year ordinary income considered in determining the forecasted AETR.

17

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, our effective tax rate (“ETR”) was (27.15%) and 23.57%, respectively. The decrease in the ETR for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is a result of favorable discrete items related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation that resulted in an income tax benefit that exceeded pre-tax book income for the quarter.

NOTE 13. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options

On May 10, 2018, the Board ratified and confirmed the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). The 2014 Plan is a broad-based plan under which shares of our common stock are authorized for issuance for awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and cash incentive awards to members of our Board, executive officers, employees and independent contractors. As of March 31, 2021, a total of 6,550,750 shares of our common stock were authorized for issuance. As of March 31, 2021, 48,367 shares remained available for issuance as new awards under the 2014 Plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we issued 30,000 and 225,000 options to purchase our common stock, respectively, to members of our Board, executive officers, employees and independent contractors. The fair value of all stock options granted for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was determined to be $38,012 and $255,017, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

A summary of stock option activity is as follows:

A summary of unvested stock option activity is as follows:

18

As of March 31, 2021, our unrecognized share-based compensation expense associated with the stock options issued was $549,503, which will be amortized over a weighted-average of 1.93 years.

Restricted Awards

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we issued an aggregate of 55,000 restricted shares of our common stock valued at $159,500 to our Board members in consideration of their service on the Board. These shares vested immediately on the grant date. An additional 80,000 restricted shares of our common stock valued at $181,600 were issued to an employee of the Company on February 17, 2021. These shares were granted in consideration of the individual’s service to the Company. These shares vest on November 12, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, there were 2,236,133 restricted shares outstanding. Of the restricted shares outstanding, 260,000 restricted shares were unvested.

NOTE 14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 13, 2021, the Company and NSB entered into a Forbearance to the A&R Credit Agreement, in which NSB agreed to forbear from exercising any of its rights or remedies that would result from potential breaches of the Minimum EBITDA and Total Leverage covenants for the quarters ending June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021.

Galaxy made a share redemption consideration payment to Triangulum, in connection with the Redemption Consideration Obligation, in a timely fashion in May 2021.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and capital resources as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. This discussion should be read together with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Financial Information included in our 2020 10-K. Some of the information contained in this discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties; therefore our “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” should be reviewed for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

We develop, acquire, assemble and market technology and entertainment-based products and services for the gaming industry for placement on casino floors and on legal internet gaming sites. Our products and services primarily relate to licensed casino operators’ table games activities and focus on either increasing their profitability, productivity and security or expanding their gaming entertainment offerings in the form of proprietary table games, electronically enhanced table game platforms, fully-automated electronic tables and other ancillary equipment. In addition, we license intellectual property to legal internet gaming operators. Our products and services are offered in highly regulated markets throughout the world. Our products are assembled at our headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as outsourced for certain sub-assemblies in the United States.

Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we generated gross revenues of $4,282,901 compared to $4,494,318 for the comparable prior-year period, representing a decrease of $211,417, or 4.7%. This decrease was attributable to the continuing impact of the COVID-19 crisis, as some of our land-based casino customers remained closed during the first quarter, and those that were open had reduced capacity or realized reduced visitation which, in turn, resulted in us realizing no revenue from those that were closed and reduced revenue from those that were open. The decrease in our land-based revenue was offset by an increase in our online gaming revenues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $2,711,052 compared to $2,992,052 for the comparable prior-year period, representing a decrease of $281,000, or 9.4%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in compensation-related expenses and travel and entertainment expenses directly related to the COVID-19 crisis. In 2021, the Company incurred $249,436 in legal expenses associated with the Triangulum Lawsuit.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $118,701, compared to $155,653 for the comparable prior-year period, representing a decrease of $36,952, or 23.7%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in compensation-related expenses directly related to the COVID-19 crisis. Also, consulting expenses decreased due to the Company no longer using certain third-party research and development firms.

Share-based compensation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $316,640, as compared to $157,596 for the comparable prior-year period, representing an increase of $159,044, or 100.9%. This increase was due to the quarterly restricted shares granted to our Board members being issued at a higher stock price than the comparable prior-year period. The increase was also due to restricted shares being issued to two employees and a contractor of the Company in November 2020 and February 2021.

As a result of the changes described above, income from operations decreased $292,450 or 41.9% to $404,950 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to income of $697,400 for the comparable prior-year period.

Total interest expense increased $13,239, or 7.9%, to $180,910 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $167,671 for the comparable prior-year period. The increase was mainly attributable to interest being accrued on the MSPLP.

Share redemption consideration was $195,482 in 2021 compared to $195,482 in 2020. The share redemption consideration is related to the Triangulum Redemption Consideration Obligation.

Income tax benefit was ($18,950) for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to income tax provision of $35,962 for the comparable prior-year period. The change is primarily a result of favorable discrete items related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments to net income to exclude interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, share based compensation, foreign currency exchange loss, change in estimated fair value of interest rate swap liability and severance and other expenses related to litigation. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance defined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). However, Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate our operating performance. Management believes that disclosure of the Adjusted EBITDA metric offers investors, regulators and other stakeholders a view of our operations in the same manner management evaluates our performance. When combined with U.S. GAAP results, management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides a comprehensive understanding of our financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity. It may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it excludes financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. A reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net income to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

Liquidity and capital resources. We have generally been able to fund our continuing operations, our investments, and the obligations under our existing borrowings through cash flow from operations. In 2020, as a result of COVID, we were required to raise funds from financing sources in order to maintain operations. In addition to our normal operations, we may make acquisitions of products, technologies or entire businesses. Our ability to access capital for operations or for acquisitions will depend on conditions in the capital markets and investors’ perceptions of our business prospects and such conditions and perceptions may not always favor us.

As of March 31, 2021, we had total current assets of $12,621,385 and total assets of $31,115,133. This compares to $11,562,833 and $30,574,594, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. The increase in current assets and total assets as of March 31, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in the accounts receivable balance.

Our total current liabilities as of March 31, 2021 increased to $4,847,115 from $4,247,794 as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to the Company accruing for 2021 employee bonuses and an increase in accrued royalties in our online gaming business.

Despite the COVID-19 crisis, our business was profitable and cash-flow positive in Q1 2021.  Based on our current forecast of operations, we believe we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and to meet the obligations under our financing arrangements as the come due.

We continue to file applications for new or enhanced licenses in several jurisdictions, which may result in significant future legal and regulatory expenses. A significant increase in such expenses may require us to postpone growth initiatives or investments in personnel, inventory and research and development of our products. It is our intention to continue such initiatives and investments. However, to the extent we are not able to achieve our growth objectives or raise additional capital, we will need to evaluate the reduction of operating expenses.

Our operating activities provided cash of $767,829 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to cash provided of $841,448 for the comparable prior period. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily due to lower net income for the period as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.

Investing activities used cash of $81,792 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $1,448 for the comparable prior period. This was primarily due to an increase in expenditures for software and property and equipment in Q1 2021.

21

Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $557,638, which resulted primarily from principal payments on long-term debt. This compares to $602,002 cash provided by financing activities for the comparable prior period.

Critical accounting policies. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We consider the following accounting policies to be the most important to understanding and evaluating our financial results:

Revenue recognition. We account for our revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We generate revenue primarily from the licensing of our intellectual property. We recognize revenue under recurring fee license contracts monthly as we satisfy our performance obligation, which consists of granting the customer the right to use our intellectual property. Amounts billed are determined based on flat rates or usage rates stipulated in the customer contract.

Goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangible assets are assessed for impairment at least annually or at other times during the year if events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting asset is below the carrying amount. If found to be impaired, the carrying amounts will be reduced, and an impairment loss will be recognized.

Long-term liabilities. The Company issued a promissory note in the face amount of $39,096,401 to Triangulum on May 6, 2019 in connection with the share redemption disclosed in Note 1. The promissory note has not been given accounting effect in the Company’s financial statements. The Company has instead recorded a long-term obligation payable to Triangulum, based on the redemption value specified in our Articles of Incorporation. The obligation is classified as long-term because we do not expect that a final agreement with respect to the litigation will be reached between the parties in the next twelve months.

Off-balance sheet arrangements. As of March 31, 2021, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements. We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2021 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the effectiveness of internal controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives, and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We have been named in and have brought lawsuits in the normal course of business. See Note 11 above and Note 11 to our audited financial statements included in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Financial Information” in our 2020 10-K.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On March 31, 2021, we issued an aggregate of 55,000 restricted shares of our common stock valued at $159,500 to Messrs. Lipparelli, Isaacs, Waters, and Zender, in consideration of their service on the Board during the three months ended March 31, 2021. These shares vested immediately on the grant date. An additional 80,000 restricted shares of our common stock valued at $181,600 were issued to Mr. Cravens on February 17, 2021. These shares were granted in consideration of the individual’s service to the Company. These shares vest on November 12, 2021. In each of the transactions listed above, the securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  

Our reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in granting the aforementioned options to purchase shares of our common stock was based in part upon the following factors: (a) each of the issuances of the securities was in connection with an isolated private transaction which did not involve any public offering; (b) there were a limited number of offerees; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by us; and (d) the negotiations for the issuance of the securities took place directly between the offeree and us.
