§
|
Class I
Gaming. Class I gaming includes traditional Native American
social and ceremonial games. Class I gaming is regulated exclusively
at the Native American tribal
level.
|
|
§
|
Class II
Gaming. Class II gaming includes bingo, and if played at the
same location where bingo is offered, pull tabs and other games similar to
bingo. Class II gaming is regulated by individual Native American
tribes, with the NIGC having oversight of the tribal regulatory process.
States that allow bingo and games similar to bingo to be conducted by any
other entity or for any other purpose, such as bingo at charities or
schools, may not regulate Class II gaming, and therefore receive no
tax revenues from income the tribes derive from Class II
gaming.
|
|
§
|
Class III
Gaming. Class III gaming includes all other forms of gaming
that are not included in either Class I or Class II, including
slot machines and most table games. Class III gaming may be conducted
only pursuant to contracts called “compacts,” which are negotiated between
individual states and individual Native American tribes located within
that state, and subsequently approved by the U.S. Bureau of Indian
Affairs. The compacts typically include provisions entitling the state to
receive revenues at mutually agreed-upon rates from the income a tribe
derives from Class III gaming
activities.

stand-alone games of Multimedia Games’ and other
vendors.

|
§
|
For
certain game designs, larger numbers of end users can compete in a single
game, which increases the size of the prize
pool.
|
|
§
|
Class II
gaming requires that there be more than one end user participating in a
game. Our network enables end users to link with each other more quickly,
thereby increasing the number of games played during a given
period.
|
|
§
|
We
are able to introduce technological enhancements via our network without
the need for location-by-location down time, thereby avoiding lost

§
|
We
are able to monitor network performance in real time, which allows us to
quickly identify and respond to network problems and avoid significant
down time.
|
|
§
|
With
our ability to launch new games broadly over a large number of player
terminals, the chance that any new game will become popular with end users
is increased, since the frequency of prizes and its related effect upon
the popularity of a game depends in part on the total number of end users
participating in the same game.

Oklahoma.
During 2004, the Oklahoma Legislature passed legislation
authorizing certain forms of gaming at racetracks, and additional types of
games at tribal gaming facilities, pursuant to a tribal-state compact. The
Oklahoma gaming legislation allows the tribes to sign a compact with the
state of Oklahoma to operate an unlimited number of electronic instant
bingo games, electronic bonanza-style bingo games, electronic amusement
games, and non-house-banked tournament card games. In addition, certain
horse tracks in Oklahoma are allowed to operate a limited number of
instant and bonanza-style bingo games and electronic amusement games. All
vendors placing games at any of the racetracks under the compact will
ultimately be required to be licensed by the state of Oklahoma. Pursuant
to the compacts, vendors placing games at tribal facilities will have to
be licensed by each tribe. All electronic games placed under the compact
will have to be certified by independent testing laboratories to meet
technical specifications. These technical specifications were published by
the Oklahoma Horse Racing Commission and the individual tribal gaming
authorities in the first calendar quarter of 2005. To date,
independent testing labs have given wide latitude as to what constitutes a
compliant game.
|
|
§
|
Washington.
In Washington State, we offer player terminals operated in
conjunction with local central determinant systems, pursuant to compacts
between the state and certain Native American tribes in that state. These
compacts are recognized by IGRA to permit Class III gaming, which
would otherwise be illegal.

Class II
gaming revenue decreased by $19.6 million, or 41%, to
$28.4 million in 2008, from $48.0 million in 2007. We
expect the number of Class II terminals to continue to decrease as
they are replaced with higher-earning Oklahoma compact player
terminals.
|
|
§
|
Legacy
revenue decreased $494,000, or 17%, to $2.4 million
in 2008, from $2.9 million in 2007. The average installed
base of player terminals and the average hold per day decreased 11%
and 5%, respectively, due to competitive
factors.
|
|
§
|
Reel
Time Bingo revenue was $26.0 million in 2008, compared to
$45.1 million in 2007, a $19.1 million, or 42%
decrease. The average installed base of player terminals
decreased 48% which was partially offset by a 16% increase in
hold per day. Accretion of contract rights related to development
agreements, which is recorded as a reduction of revenue, decreased
$1.5 million, or 57% to $1.1 million in 2008, compared
to $2.6 million in 2007. The reduction in accretion of
contract rights is the result of allocating the total accretion rights
across all product lines with the majority being allocated to Oklahoma
Compact. During 2008, we continued to convert Reel Time Bingo player
terminals to games played under the compact, which are included in “Gaming
revenue - Oklahoma compact,” and we expect this trend to continue in the
future as Reel Time Bingo competes with the higher hold per day of compact
games. In addition, as a result of the conversion from Reel Time Bingo to
games played under the compact, our revenue share percentage will decrease
to the market rate for compact
games.
|
|
§
|
Oklahoma
compact games generated revenue of $55.2 million in 2008,
compared to $37.1 million in 2007, an increase of
$18.1 million, or 49%. The average installed base increased 37%
as the conversion of Class II player terminals to compact games
continues. Hold per day increased 3%, primarily as a result of the
higher installed base of the stand-alone units, which have a higher hold
per day. Accretion of contract rights related to development agreements,
which is recorded as a reduction of revenue, decreased to
$2.8 million in 2008, compared to $2.9 million
in 2007.
|
|
§
|
Charity
gaming revenues decreased $3.4 million, or 19%, to
$14.6 million for 2008, compared to $18.0 million for the
same period of 2007. The average installed base of player terminals
and the average hold per day decreased 4% and 18%, respectively.
The decrease in the hold per day is primarily attributable to competitive
factors and to a lesser extent, economic factors. Competitive factors
would include, but are not limited to, a significant increase of
competitor units added to the gaming floor of our largest charity
operation, players reward programs not offered on our player terminals and
location of our player terminals on the gaming
floor.

Revenues
from the New York Lottery system increased 22%, to $7.0 million
in 2008, from $5.8 million in 2007. At
September 30, 2008, eight of the nine planned racetrack casinos
are operating, with approximately 13,000 total terminals. At the
current placement levels, we have obtained near break-even operations for
the New York Lottery system and expect to achieve profitable operations
after all of the facilities are
operating.
|
|
§
|
Revenues
from the Mexico bingo market increased $5.7 million to
$10.0 million in 2008, from $4.3 million in 2007.
As of September 30, 2008, we had installed 5,133 player
terminals at 22 parlors in Mexico compared to 2,515 terminals at
nine parlors at September 30, 2007. Our revenue share
arrangements in Mexico are comparable with our Oklahoma market revenue
share arrangements.

§
|
Gaming
equipment, system sale and lease revenue increased $7.1 million,
or 247% to $10.0 million for 2008,
from $2.9 million for the same period of 2007. Gaming
equipment and system sale revenue of
$8.8 million, for 2008, includes 569 player terminal
sales of $5.8 million and one system sale. Gaming equipment, system
sale and lease revenue of $1.1 million, for 2007, included two
system sales and no player terminals. In 2008 and 2007, gaming
equipment sale revenue included revenues of $182,000 and
$1.1 million, respectively, related to a certain equipment sale being
recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. License revenues
for 2008 were $1.1 million, compared
to $689,000 for 2007, an increase of $427,000,
or 62%, due primarily to the player terminal sales discussed above.
Total cost of sales, which includes cost of royalty fees,
increased $2.8 million, to $5.0 million in 2008,
from $2.2 million in 2007 due to the large gaming equipment
sale discussed above.
|
|
§
|
Other
revenues decreased $395,000 or 19% to $1.7 million for
fiscal 2008, from $2.1 million during fiscal 2007. The
decrease is primarily due to the discontinuation of the promotional
sweepstakes system in
January 2007.
|
|
§
|
Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased $6.1 million,
or 9%, to $72.2 million in 2008, from $66.1 million
in 2007. This increase was primarily a result of (i) an increase
in third party game licenses, projects, and patents write offs and
reserves of $3.2 million; ii) an increase in property and
equipment reserves, repairs and maintenance, transportation and related
costs of $2.6 million; (iii) an increase in salaries and wages
and the related employee benefits of approximately $2.0 million,
primarily related to costs of $675,000 associated with the
resignation of our former Chief Executive Officer, along with headcount
increases (at September 30, 2008, we employed 484 full-time
and part-time employees, compared to 427 at
September 30, 2007); and (iv) an increase in travel
expenses of approximately $648,000; offsetting these increases was a
decrease in legal and professional fees of approximately
$2.9 million, due to the resolution of several legal matters during
fiscal 2008.
|
|
§
|
Amortization
expense decreased $1.6 million, or 26%, to $4.7 million
in 2008, compared to $6.3 million in 2007. Depreciation
expense decreased $3.8 million, or 7%, to
$48.0 million in 2007, from $51.8 million in 2007,
primarily as a result of player terminals continuing in service beyond
their estimated useful life.
|
|
§
|
Interest
income increased 10%, to $5.0 million in 2008, from
$4.6 million in 2007, due to imputed interest resulting from
advances under certain development agreements. We entered into development
agreements with a customer under which approximately $72.7 million
has been advanced and is outstanding at September 30, 2008, and
for which we impute interest on these interest-free loans. During
fiscal 2008, we recorded imputed interest of $4.3 million
relating to development agreements with an imputed interest rate range
of 6.00% to 9.00% compared to $2.6 million in
fiscal 2007.
|
|
§
|
Interest
expense increased $3.7 million, or 74%,
to $8.7 million for 2008, from $5.0 million
for 2007, due primarily to an increase in amounts outstanding under
our Credit Facility. During April 2007, we entered into a
$150 million Revolving Credit Facility which replaced our previous
Credit Facility in its entirety. On October 26, 2007 we amended
the Revolving Credit Facility, transferring $75 million of the
revolving credit commitment to a fully funded $75 million term loan.
We entered into a second amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility on
December 20, 2007. The second amendment (i) extended the
hedging arrangement date related to a portion of the term loan to
June 1, 2008; and (ii) modified the interest rate margin
applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility and the term
loan.
|
|
§
|
Other
income was $3.1 million for the year ended
September 30, 2008, compared to $3.1 million for the year
ended September 30, 2007. Other income consisted primarily of
distributions from a partnership interest accounted for on the cost basis
method in
fiscal 2008. Fiscal 2007 included this distribution as well as the
extinguishment of an intangible asset and related liablility due to the
termination of a non compete agreement with our former Chief Executive
Officer as of
April 27, 2007.
|
|
§
|
Class II
gaming revenue decreased by $41.2 million, or 46%, from
$89.2 million in 2006 to $48.0 million in 2007. We
expect the number of Class II terminals to continue to decrease as
they are replaced with higher-earning Oklahoma compact player
terminals.
|
|
§
|
Legacy
revenue decreased $164,000, or 5%, to $2.9 million
in 2007, from $3.0 million in 2006. The average installed
base of Legacy player terminals decreased 8%, which was partially offset
by a 3% increase in hold per
day.
|
|
§
|
Reel
Time Bingo revenue was $45.1 million in 2007, compared to
$86.2 million in 2006, a $41.1 million, or 48%
decrease. The average installed base of player terminals and the average
hold per day decreased 37% and 11%, respectively. Accretion of
contract rights related to development agreements, which is recorded as a
reduction of revenue, decreased $1.7 million, or 40% to
$2.6 million in 2007, compared to $4.3 million
in 2006. The reduction in accretion of contract rights is the result
of allocating the total accretion rights across all product lines with the
majority being allocated to Oklahoma Compact. During 2007, we
continued to convert Reel Time Bingo player terminals to games played
under the compact, which are included in “Gaming revenue - Oklahoma
compact,” and we expect this trend to continue in the future as Reel Time
Bingo competes with the higher hold per day of compact games. In addition,
as a result of the conversion from Reel Time Bingo to games played under
the compact, our revenue share percentage will decrease to the market rate
for compact games.
|
|
§
|
In
March 2005, we began converting Reel Time Bingo player terminals to
games that could be played under the Oklahoma compact. These games
generated revenue of $37.1 million in 2007, compared
to $10.6 million in 2006, an increase of
$26.5 million. The average installed base increased 155% as the
conversion of Class II player terminals to compact games continues.
Hold per day increased 38%, primarily as a result of the higher
installed base of the stand-alone units, which have a higher hold per day.
Accretion of contract rights related to development agreements, which is
recorded as a reduction of revenue, increased to $2.9 million
in 2007, compared to no accretion
in 2006.
|
|
§
|
Charity
gaming revenues decreased 2%, to $18.0 million for 2007,
compared to $18.4 million for the same period of 2006. The
average installed player terminal base and average hold per day remained
consistent across 2007
and 2006.
|
|
§
|
Class III
rental and back-office fees in Washington State decreased 19%, to
$3.7 million in 2007, from $4.6 million during the same period
of 2006. As of January 2006, we no longer have any rental
customers. We continue to receive a small back-office fee from each of the
twelve gaming facilities in the state of Washington where we are
located.
|
|
§
|
Revenues
from the New York Lottery system increased 118%, to $5.8 million
in 2007, from $2.6 million in 2006. At
September 30, 2007, eight of the nine planned racetrack casinos
are operating, with approximately 13,100 total terminals. To date, we
have realized substantially less revenue than anticipated from our New
York Lottery operations, in significant part due to delays in the opening
of planned racetrack casino operations at several racetracks. At the
current placement levels, we have obtained near break-even operations for
the New York Lottery system and expect to achieve profitable operations
after all of the facilities are
operating.
|
|
§
|
The
Iowa Lottery system operated between January and May 2006, and
generated revenues of $616,000 during that time period. Pursuant to
legislative actions, these units were disconnected from our central
determinant system in May 2006. Revenue from providing player
terminals was recorded in “Gaming equipment, system sale and lease
revenue.”
|
|
§
|
Revenues
from the Mexico bingo market increased $3.7 million to
$4.3 million in 2007, from $604,000 in 2006. As of
September 30, 2007, we had installed 2,515 player terminals
at nine sites in Mexico compared to 600 terminals at four sites
installed at four sites at September 30, 2006. To date, there
are not as many permanent facilities opened as we originally projected,
and the hold per day is below our original expectations. Our revenue share
arrangements in Mexico are comparable with our Oklahoma market revenue
share arrangements.
|
|
§
|
Gaming
equipment, system sale and lease revenue
decreased $11.1 million, or 79% to $2.9 million
for 2007, from $13.9 million for the same period
of 2006. Gaming equipment and system sale revenue of
$1.1 million, for 2007, includes two system sales and no
player terminals. Gaming equipment, system sale and lease revenue of
$11.7 million, for 2006, included one system sale of
$8.0 million, 416 player terminals sales of $3.0 million,
and Iowa Lottery lease revenue of $681,000. In
2007 and 2006, gaming equipment sale revenue included revenues
of $1.1 million for both periods, related to a certain equipment sale
being recognized ratably over the term of the agreement. License revenues
for 2007 were $689,000, compared to $1.1 million
for 2006, a decrease of $434,000, or 39%, due
primarily to the decline in player terminal sales discussed above. Total
cost of sales, which includes cost of royalty fees,
decreased $9.5 million, or 81% to $2.2 million
in 2007, from $11.8 million in 2006 due to the
decreased sales discussed above.
|
|
§
|
Other
revenues decreased $2.4 million or 54%
to $2.1 million for fiscal 2007,
from $4.5 million during fiscal 2006. The decrease is
primarily due to discontinuation of the promotional sweepstakes system in
January 2007.
|
|
§
|
Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased $2.5 million,
or 4%, to $66.1 million in 2007, from $68.6 million
in 2006. This decrease was primarily a result of i) a decrease
in salaries and wages and the related employee benefits of approximately
$2.6 million relating to the reduction in staff in February 2007
(at September 30, 2007, we employed 427 full-time and
part-time employees, compared to 503 at
September 30, 2006); ii) a decrease in share-based
compensation of $1.5 million for 2007 due to a decrease in the
number of unvested outstanding options; and iii) a decrease in travel
costs of approximately $1.3 million due to the ramp up in 2006
for new markets, primarily Mexico. Partially offsetting these decreases
were a) increases in consulting and contract labor of approximately
$1.3 million, primarily related to the design of new gaming cabinets;
b) an increase in other taxes and license fees of $847,000,
primarily related to an annual license renewal for third-party licenses
and an estimated settlement for use tax; and c) an increase in
repairs and maintenance, transportation and related costs
of $752,000, primarily due to units being refurbished for deployment
in Mexico.
|
|
§
|
Amortization
expense decreased $194,000, or 3%, to $6.3 million
in 2007, compared to $6.5 million in 2006. Depreciation
expense increased $1.1 million, or 2%, to
$51.8 million in 2007, from $50.7 million in 2006 due
to the placement of new player terminals as the conversion of
Class II player terminals to Oklahoma compact games
continues.
|
|
§
|
Interest
income increased 51%, to $4.6 million in 2007, from
$3.0 million in 2006, due to imputed interest resulting from
advances under certain development agreements. We entered into development
agreements with a customer under which approximately $110.4 million
has been committed under interest-free loans in which we will impute
interest. During fiscal 2007, we recorded imputed interest of
$2.6 million relating to development agreements with an imputed
interest rate range
of 6% to 8.25%.
|
|
§
|
Interest
expense increased $518,000, or 12%, to $5.0 million
for 2007, from $4.5 million for 2006, due primarily to
an increase in amounts outstanding under our previous Credit Facility. Our
previous Credit Facility provided us with a $20.0 million term
loan facility, or the Term Loan, a $25.0 million revolving line
of credit, or the Revolver, and $35.0 million and
$9.5 million in reducing revolving lines of credit, or the Reducing
Revolvers. During April 2007, we entered into a $150 million
Revolving Credit Facility, which replaced our previous Credit Facility in
its entirety. We subsequently amended the Revolving Credit Facility on
October 26, 2007 to transfer $75 million of the
revolving credit commitment to a fully funded $75 million term
loan.
|
|
§
|
Other
income was $3.1 million for the year ended
September 30, 2007, with no such income in fiscal 2006.
Other income consisted of a distribution from a partnership interest,
accounted for on the cost basis that we received during 2007. In
addition, we had the extinguishment of an intangible asset and related
liability due to the termination of a non compete agreement with our
former Chief Executive Officer as of
April 27, 2007.

units based on their relative fair market value against the total contract
value and revenue recognition on those deliverables are recorded when all
