NOTE 14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Through April 2014, we leased our prior offices located on O’Bannon Drive in Las Vegas from the Saucier Business Trust, an entity that is related to our CEO.  The lease was entered into effective September 1, 2010 for a period of two years requiring a monthly rental payment of $10,360.  Our lease expired at the end of August 2012 and then converted to a term of month-to-month.  Total payments made were $-0- and $37,296 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

We have a note receivable from Abyss Group, LLC (“Abyss”), an entity that was formerly related to the wife of our CEO. Subsequently, Abyss assigned the note to Carpathia Associates, LLC (“Carpathia”), an entity controlled by our CEO.  This note receivable was acquired as part of the 2007 asset purchase agreement with GGLLC.  The note receivable is a ten-year unsecured note with a 6% fixed interest rate, monthly principal and interest payments of $6,598 with the unpaid principal and interest due in February 2017. The terms of the note were amended whereby the monthly principal and interest payment was reduced to $3,332 and the unpaid principal and interest is due August 2015.  The balance as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $0 and $383,298, respectively. Interest income associated with this note receivable was $13,443 and $16,432 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

We have a note payable to a related party, GGLLC, an entity formerly controlled by our CEO.  Subsequently, GGLLC assigned the note to Carpathia.  The note payable requires monthly principal and interest payments of $9,159, at a fixed interest rate of 7.3% through February 2017, at which time there is a balloon payment due of $1,003,000. The balance as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $595,789 and $1,065,324, respectively. This note payable is a result of the asset purchase agreement with GGLLC.

 

On August 10, 2015, our  Board of Directors approved an agreement between the Company and Carpathia Associates, LLC, an entity which is owned and controlled by our Chief Executive Officer, Robert  Saucier (the “Agreement”).  The Agreement amends the terms of the note receivable and note payable previously entered into between the parties by offsetting the note receivable and note payable between the two parties.  The effective result will be that the balloon payment of $437,313, due under the terms of the note receivable from Carpathia, will be applied to the outstanding note payable due to Carpathia.  The Board believes that the Company benefits from the arrangement as the Agreement extends the note payable’s balloon payment from February 2017 to December 2018.  The balloon payment due in December 2018 will be $354,480. The foregoing summary of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by to the full context of the agreement which is found as Exhibity 99.1 to this filing.

On October 26, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), Galaxy Gaming, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Promissory Note (the “Note”) with Robert Saucier, Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to repay a loan of $500,000 made by Mr. Saucier to the Company.  Under the terms of the Note, $590,000 shall be due on or before one year from the Effective Date, unless the Company pays Mr. Saucier $535,000 on or before six months from the Effective Date, in which case the Company will have fulfilled all of its obligations under the Note. The foregoing summary of the Note is qualified in its entirety by to the full context of the Note which Is found as Exhibit 10.1 to our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 28, 2015.
