the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2009 or any other period. The accompanying financial statements and related
notes should be read in conjunction with the audited Financial Statements of the
Company, and notes thereto, contained in this filing for the year ended December
31, 2008. The financial information furnished in this report is unaudited and
reflects all adjustments which are normal recurring adjustments and, which in
the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly present the results of the
interim periods presented in order to make the financial statements not
misleading.
Liquidity
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the period
from January 10, 2006 (inception) to September 30, 2009, the Company incurred a
net loss of $651,412. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent on it ultimately achieving profitability, producing additional
revenues and/or raising additional capital. Management intends to obtain
additional debt or equity capital to meet all of its existing cash obligations
and to support the revenue generating process; however, there can be no
assurance that the sources will be available or available on terms favorable to
the Company.
Intangible
assets
On March
10, 2006, the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities
of Select Video, Inc. (Select Video). Three patents were acquired as a part of
the March 10, 2006 purchase. The patents are stated at cost and are amortized on
a straight-line basis over 60 months. Amortization expense was $6,204 for both
of the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and $28,950 for the period
from January 10, 2006 (inception) to September 30, 2009. Estimated amortization
expense for the next three years of patents issued as of September 30, 2009 is
as follows:

Impairment
of long-lived assets
Management
reviews the Company’s long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the
asset’s value will be adjusted appropriately. No impairment indicators were
present as of September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008.
Recent
accounting pronouncement
On
September 15, 2009, we adopted new accounting guidance on codification
referencing that encourages the use of plain English to describe broad
accounting topic areas in an attempt to make financial statements more useful to
users and more clearly explain accounting concepts.
No other
new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year has had
or is expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

provisions. As such, the Company is required to recognize in the financial
statements only those tax positions determined to be more likely than not of
being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the
positions. Interest and penalties are expensed as incurred as operating
expenses.

carryforwards.

Operations set forth below should be read in conjunction with our audited
financial statements, and notes thereto, contained in our Form 10-K and Form
10-K/A filed with the SEC on March 27, 2009 and October 30, 2009, respectively,

Forward-Looking
Statements
Some of
the statements made in this section of our report are forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements generally relate to and are based
upon our current plans, expectations, assumptions and projections about future
events. Our management currently believes that the various plans, expectations,
and assumptions reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements
are reasonable. Nevertheless, all forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties and our actual actions or future results may be materially
different from the plans, objectives or expectations, or our assumptions and
projections underlying our present plans, objectives and expectations, which are
expressed in this report. Examples of specific factors that might cause our
actual results to differ from our current expectations include but are not
limited to:
|
|
·
|
Our lack of a significant prior
operating history to provide our management with a basis to better
evaluate certain likelihoods
|
|
|
·
|
Our need for additional
financing
|
|
|
·
|
The significant risk that our
game may not be accepted by casinos or gaming establishments or,
ultimately, by gaming consumers and
enthusiasts
|
|
|
·
|
Our inability to obtain required
registrations, licenses and approvals with or from appropriate state
gaming authorities
|
|
|
·
|
Changes in legal and regulatory
regimes applicable to our business or our
games
|
|
|
·
|
Our inability to effectively
protect our intellectual property,
or
|
|
|
·
|
Our inability, for any reason, to
retain our executive management
personnel.
|
The
foregoing list is not exhaustive. In light of the foregoing, prospective
investors are cautioned that the forward-looking statements included in this
filing may ultimately prove to be inaccurate—even materially inaccurate.
Because of the significant uncertainties inherent in such forward-looking
statements, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a
representation or warranty by Poker Magic, Inc. or any other person that our
objectives, plans, expectations or projections that are contained in this filing
will be achieved in any specified time frame, if ever.
General
Overview
Poker
Magic Inc. is a Minnesota corporation formed in January 2006. In this report,
we refer to Poker Magic, Inc. as “we,” “us,” “Poker Magic” or the “Company.” We
are a development-stage company focused on promoting and placing our Winner’s
Pot Poker game into casinos and entertainment facilities country-wide, including
those located in Native American tribal lands. We believe that the long-term
success of our operations will be determined by our ability to bring new and
innovative products, game play and services to the market.
Our
current gaming product is “Winner’s Pot Poker,” which is a table game form of
five-card stud poker. In the Winner’s Pot Poker game, the dealer deals each
player, and the dealer himself, two cards face down and three cards face up.
Each player “antes” before the deal to be eligible to receive cards in the game.
After each player has received his or her first three cards from the dealer,
each player may either fold or place a first bet equal to the ante. The first
bet may not be any more or less than the ante. After the next card is dealt,
each of the remaining players has a choice between folding or placing a second
bet that must be equal to twice the ante. The dealer may not fold. After the
last card is dealt, the hands are compared and the winning hand (determined by
using standard poker rankings) takes a predetermined percentage of the total
bets and antes made in the course of the game. In addition, players are
entitled to make certain optional “bonus bets.”
We had no
revenues from January 10, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2007, or from
January 1, 2008 through August 27, 2008. We began generating revenues August
28, 2008 under the license agreement with Bally’s Park Place, Inc.
For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 we generated $2,025 and $5,675 in
revenues. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we incurred
$2,587 and $10,829, respectively, in revenue-related costs and $28,240 and
$120,830, respectively, in operating expenses. Our expenses related primarily
to our efforts to market our Winner’s Pot Poker game to casinos and gaming
establishments, generate revenues and expand our revenue base, as well as other
selling, general and administrative expenses. The most significant components
of these other selling, general and administrative expenses were (i)
compensation expense attributable to share issuances to third-party consultants
and executive management for services rendered, and (ii) expenses for
professional services such as legal and accounting services.
As of
September 30, 2009, we had $2,873 in cash on hand and current liabilities of
$25,473. As of the date of this filing, we had approximately $3,850 in cash on
hand, and our management presently believes this cash will be sufficient to
continue operations through December 2009 due to additional capital raised
through execution of short-term notes. Thereafter, we expect we will require
additional capital. If our present expectations relating to our expenses prove
inaccurate and we incur more expenses than anticipated, we will be required to
seek additional financing prior to the end of December 2009.
Management
believes that the most significant uncertainties facing the Company relate to
our ability to increase our revenues, the accuracy of our expense forecast, our
ability to acquire necessary licenses, registrations and approvals, and our
ability to obtain financing when and as needed and on terms acceptable to us.
These uncertainties are discussed in greater detail under the caption “Trends
and Uncertainties.”

As the
table above demonstrates, during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, we had revenues of $2,025 and $1,900 respectively, and incurred $2,587 and
$21,572, respectively, in revenue-related costs. During both periods, we were
focused primarily on efforts to (i) ensure temporary regulatory approval and
compliance of the Winner’s Pot Poker game, and (ii) obtain the agreement of
casinos and gaming establishments to provide gaming table space to the Winner’s
Pot Poker game. During 2008, we were also focused on completing the process of
filing and amending our Registration Statement on Form 10 (originally filed with
the SEC on January 29, 2008) in response to comments received from the SEC.
Amendments to our Registration Statement were completed and filed with the SEC
on March 11 and August 6, 2008. We currently have one contract with one client
and have had that contract with that one client since August 2008.
Our
operating expenses decreased 63% in the three months ended September 30, 2009
compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008 primarily due to realized
efficiency savings in our ongoing operations which has helped to reduce our
legal, accounting and consulting expenses. We expect these expenses will remain
stable throughout the remainder of 2009.
Our legal
and accounting expenses decreased 76.7% for the three months ended September 30,
2009 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008. This significant
decrease was mainly due to one-time expenses related to amending our
Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the SEC. As we continue to seek
gaming regulatory compliance and licenses, prepare and file periodic reports
with the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and generally seek
to comply with the various legal, accounting and governance rules and
regulations applicable to public reporting companies, we anticipate our
professional fees expenses will remain high but less than the amounts reached
during fiscal 2008.

As the
table above demonstrates, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, we had revenues of $5,675 and $1,900 respectively, and incurred $10,829
and $21,572, respectively, in revenue-related costs. During both periods, we
were focused primarily on efforts to (i) ensure temporary regulatory approval
and compliance of the Winner’s Pot Poker game, and (ii) obtain the agreement of
casinos and gaming establishments to provide gaming table space to the Winner’s
Pot Poker game. During 2008, we were also focused on completing the process of
filing and amending our Registration Statement on Form 10 (originally filed with
the SEC on January 29, 2008) in response to comments received from the SEC.
Amendments to our Registration Statement were completed and filed with the SEC
on March 11 and August 6, 2008. We currently have one contract with one
client.
Our
operating expenses decreased 38.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008 because we realized
efficiency savings in our ongoing operations and reduced our consulting expense
significantly. We expect these expenses will remain stable throughout the
remainder of 2009.
Our legal
and accounting expenses decreased 32.1% for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This significant
decrease was due to one-time expenses related to working with broker-dealers to
complete an application with FINRA and obtain our trading symbol, and our
initial Sarbanes-Oxley compliance efforts. As we continue to seek gaming
regulatory compliance and licenses, prepare and file periodic reports with the
SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and generally seek to comply
with the various legal, accounting and governance rules and regulations
applicable to public reporting companies, we anticipate our professional fees
expenses will remain high but less than the amounts reached during fiscal
2008.
We
presently expect that compensation expense arising from share issuances to our
executive management will remain consistent with our fiscal 2008. We issued
shares to executive management for services rendered in lieu of cash payment.
We expect that we will continue to issue shares to executive management and
consultants to compensate them for services rendered, primarily as a means to
conserve our cash resources. In this regard, we do not anticipate hiring
employees in the near future and expect instead, where necessary or appropriate,
to rely on services provided by consultants through at least fiscal
2009.
Finally,
we anticipate that the portion of our selling, general and administrative
expenses relating to the general operations and the marketing of our Winner’s
Pot Poker game to casinos and gaming establishments will increase during fiscal
2009.

The
decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of a
reduction in consulting service expense paid in stock. As of September 30,
2009, we had $2,873 cash on hand and current liabilities of $25,473. As of the
date of this filing, our management believes we have sufficient capital to
continue operations through December 2009 due to additional capital raised
through execution of short-term notes. Thereafter, we expect we will require
additional capital. If we are unable to obtain additional financing when
needed, we may be required to abandon our business or our status as a public
reporting company.
Presently,
we anticipate that additional financing could be sought from a number of
sources, including but not limited to additional sales of equity or debt
securities, or loans from banks, other financial institutions or affiliates of
the Company. We cannot, however, be certain that any such financing will be
available on terms favorable to us if at all. If additional funds are raised by
the issuance of our equity securities, such as through the issuance of stock,
convertible securities, or the issuance and exercise of warrants, then the
ownership interest of our existing shareholders will be diluted. If additional
funds are raised by the issuance of debt or other equity instruments, we may
become subject to certain operational limitations, and such securities may have
rights senior to the rights of our common shareholders. If we are unable to
obtain additional financing when needed, we may be required to abandon our
business or our status as a public reporting company.
Our
primary non-cash asset at September 30, 2009 was intellectual property rights
and trademarks, which are the foundation for our product offerings. We
currently own the rights to United States Patent Number 5,839,732, issued on
November 24, 1998, that relates to our current Winner’s Pot Poker table game.
This patent was acquired from Select Video, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 10, 2006. In addition, we
own a federally registered trademark for “WINNER’S POT POKER,” Registration
Number 2,172,043, issued on July 7, 1998, which was acquired pursuant to that
same agreement. Finally, we also own registered trademarks for “POKER MAGIC” and
to “AC (ATLANTIC CITY) STUD POKER,” which we similarly acquired pursuant to the
Asset Purchase Agreement with Select Video. Other than the trademark “Poker
Magic” which we have adopted as our corporate name, we do not have any current
plans for the sale or license of such other trademarks. We do not have any
currently pending applications for un-issued patents, trademarks or copyrights.
The expiration dates of our patent rights vary based on their filing and
issuance dates. We intend to continue to actively file for patent protection,
where reasonable, within the United States. We expect also to seek protection
for our future products by filing for copyrights and trademarks in the United
States.
Currently,
we do not have any employees. Mr. Douglas M. Polinsky, the Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors, and Joseph A. Geraci, II, our
Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Company, both serve as consultants
to the Company in their officer capacities. We rely on sales and marketing
agents and outside professional services on an as-needed basis. We believe that
using consultants to perform necessary operational functions is currently more
cost effective than hiring full-time employees, and such practice affords us
flexibility in directing our resources during our development stage. We plan
to develop new gaming products primarily by utilizing the services of outside
developers, sales agents and regulatory and compliance service providers in an
effort to minimize capital expenditures and corporate expenses. We presently do
not expect to incur any material capital expenditures in the near future or
during the next 12 months. At this time, we do not anticipate purchasing or
selling any significant equipment or other assets in the near term.
Trends
and Uncertainties
As a
development-stage company involved in the gaming business, we believe we can
identify certain broad trends in our revenues and expenses, and components
thereof. We also believe that the most significant risks and uncertainties
surrounding our business relate to revenues and expenses, and regulatory and
financing matters. These trends and uncertainties are discussed
below.
Revenues
From
inception through September 30, 2009 (and presently), the Company has been
primarily focused sequentially on the acquisition of the intellectual property
forming the basis for its Winner’s Pot Poker table game and, thereafter, efforts
to ensure at least temporary regulatory compliance of the game and obtain the
agreement of casinos and gaming establishments to provide gaming table space to
the Winner’s Pot Poker game.
These
efforts culminated in our license agreement with Bally’s Park Place, Inc. d/b/a/
Bally’s Atlantic City, permitting Bally’s, on a non-exclusive basis, to use one
unit of the Winner’s Pot Poker game on a trial basis at no charge until such
time that the New Jersey Casino Control Commission ended the test period for the
game. We entered into that license agreement on December 26, 2007. We had
earlier (on August 22, 2007) secured the issuance of temporary rules and
amendments governing the implementation of Winner’s Pot Poker in Atlantic City
casinos. The amendments and rules added Winner’s Pot Poker to the list of
authorized table games in New Jersey, governed the physical characteristics of
the Winner’s Pot Poker game layout, defined the card deck for use with the
Winner’s Pot Poker game, specified the terms of the use of the cards during
Winner’s Pot Poker game play, and contained technical proposals governing the
operation of Winner’s Pot Poker. We had also earlier obtained a transactional
waiver from the New Jersey Casino Control Commission for the licensure
requirement applicable to casino service industry (CSI), which waiver permitted
us to legally license to Bally’s Park Place, Inc. the play of our Winner’s Pot
Poker game in Bally’s Atlantic City casinos.
After a
successful trial period, we amended our license agreement with Bally’s Park
Place, Inc. on June 26, 2008. Under the amended license agreement, Bally’s Park
Place, Inc. pays the Company a license fee in the amount of (i) $475 per month
for the right to use our Winner’s Pot Poker game in the Atlantic City casinos
for up to seven days per week, and (ii) $200 per month for the right to use of
our Winner’s Pot Poker game in the Atlantic City casinos on weekends only during
that month. The amendment currently contemplates the licensure of only two
Winner’s Pot Poker game units—one for the seven days per week use and the other
for the weekend-only use. This amendment was entered into after the adoption by
the New Jersey Casino Control Commission of temporary regulations governing the
rules of the Winner’s Pot Poker game. The amended license agreement is a
month-to-month agreement that may be cancelled by either party at any time. The
month-to-month character of this licensing arrangement, which is currently our
only revenue-generating license, presents a material uncertainty in our ability
to accurately forecast revenues for 2009.
Since
approximately May 2006, we have also been focused on securing Winner’s Pot Poker
licensing arrangements with various other casinos and gaming establishments. In
particular, our management has met with the management or representatives of
over ten different casinos or gaming establishments during the past year in an
effort to secure additional licensing arrangements. To date, our licensing
efforts have been focused on entering into such agreements with casinos and
gaming establishments in Minnesota, New Jersey and Nevada.
Based on
our recent amendment of the license agreement with Bally’s Park Place, Inc., we
began to recognize revenue from operations during fiscal 2008. Given that the
present terms of the license agreement, as amended, provide only that Bally’s
Park Place, Inc. will license the right to use two game units of our Winner’s
Pot Poker product, we do not expect that our initial revenues will be
significant. Instead, we expect that we must continue to market our game to
casinos and gaming establishments that present suitable opportunities for us,
and that the most efficient way for us to begin generating more significant
revenues will be to consummate a definitive license agreement with Harrah’s
Entertainment or some other enterprise that involves a wider group of
gaming-related affiliates and establishments. For example, Harrah’s
Entertainment, indirectly (through subsidiaries and other affiliates) operates
approximately 40 casinos across the United States. It is extremely difficult to
anticipate, however, how much success we will have in our efforts to license our
games to establishments other than Bally’s Park Place, Inc., if any at all, and
thereby generate additional revenues.
Expenses
As
indicated above under the caption “Results of Operations for the Three Months
Ended September 30, 2009 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2008,”
and “Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared
to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008,” our selling, general and
administrative expenses overall decreased in both the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three and nine months ended September
30, 2008 and are expected to remain stable throughout 2009. We expect to make
applications and seek gaming regulatory compliance and licenses that will
increase that component of our selling, general and administrative expenses for
2009. Because our business has a short operating history and our present
revenues are limited, in general it is difficult to accurately forecast our
expenses and impact of those expenses on our operating results.
Regulation
As part
of our marketing efforts for the Winner’s Pot Poker game, our management has met
with the management or representatives of over ten different casinos or gaming
establishments during the past year in an effort to secure additional licensing
arrangements. To date, our licensing efforts have been focused on entering into
such agreements with casinos and gaming establishments in New Jersey, Nevada and
Minnesota. On August 22, 2007, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission adopted
temporary regulations governing the Winner’s Pot Poker game. We have yet to
obtain the final casino service industry (CSI) supplier license from the New
Jersey Casino Control Commission, which is more broad and flexible than the
current transactional waiver which we have thus far secured. On January 23,
2009, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission approved our petition to continue
conducting business with Bally’s while the issuance of the final license is
underway and extended our term to expire on July 24, 2009. On July 24, 2009,
the New Jersey Casino Control Commission extended our term to January 24, 2010.
It is extremely difficult to anticipate, however, how much success we will have
in our efforts to license our games to establishments other than Bally’s Park
Place, if any at all, and thereby generate additional revenues. It is also
difficult to assess how long we will be able to maintain our present arrangement
with Bally’s Park Place in light of the fact that our amended license agreement
has a month-to-month term.
We have
yet to obtain the final licensure required in the states of Nevada and
Minnesota, which jurisdictions have been the focus of our marketing efforts thus
far. In particular, we expect that we will require at least the following
licenses, registrations and approvals in the near future to permit us to license
our gaming products to casinos and gaming establishments in the relevant
jurisdictions:
|
|
·
|
Casino service industry (CSI)
supplier license issued by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission
(described above)
|
|
|
·
|
Distribution licenses permitting
us to distribute Winner’s Pot Poker game units (i.e., table layouts) to
casinos and gaming establishments in Nevada, issued by the Nevada State
Gaming Control Board
|
|
|
·
|
Registration with the Nevada
Gaming Commission as a publicly traded
company
|
|
|
·
|
Distribution licenses permitting
us to distribute Winner’s Pot Poker game units to casinos and gaming
establishments in Minnesota
|
|
|
·
|
Approval from the applicable
Tribal Councils permitting us to distribute Winner’s Pot Poker game units
to casinos and gaming establishments located in tribal lands in
Minnesota.
|
As we
seek to begin operations in other states and, where applicable, Native American
tribal lands, we will be subject to additional state and Native American laws
and regulations that affect both our general commercial relationships with our
customers as well as the products and services provided to them. The following
summarizes the material aspects of these laws and regulations.
Financing
As
discussed above under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” our
management believes we have sufficient capital to continue operations through
December 2009. Thereafter, we expect we will require additional capital. Our
current forecast for financing needs is largely based on our understanding of
the expenses we anticipate incurring in our efforts to comply with gaming
regulatory and public reporting company disclosure requirements. In this
regard, we note that our current forecasts are largely based on our past
experience with other enterprises and proposed budgets proposed by our
professional consultants. If our actual expenses significantly exceed our
present expectations we will likely require additional financing prior to
December 2009.
Once
needed, we cannot be certain that any required additional financing will be
available on terms favorable to us, if at all. This is especially true in light
of the current poor state of the U.S. capital markets and the general economic
downturn that has occurred. If, however, we are able to raise additional funds
by the issuance of our equity or equity-linked securities, including through the
issuance and exercise of warrants, our existing shareholders will experience
dilution of their ownership interest. If additional funds are instead raised by
the issuance of debt or other senior or preferred equity instruments such as
preferred stock, we may be subject to certain limitations in our operations, and
such securities may have rights senior to those of our holders of common stock.
If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to
expand, develop or enhance products or to respond to competitive pressures. If
we are unable to obtain additional financing when needed, we may be required to
abandon our business or our status as a public reporting company.
Going
Concern
We have
incurred operating losses, accumulated deficit and negative cash flows from
operations since January 10, 2006 (inception). As of September 30, 2009, we had
an accumulated deficit of $651,412. These factors, among others, raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Because of
these factors disclosed, among others, our independent registered public
accountants have issued a going concern opinion that raises substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements
included in this filing do not include any adjustments related to recoverability
and classification of asset carrying amounts, or the amount and classification
of liabilities that might result, should we be unable to continue as a going
concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern ultimately depends on
achieving profitability, producing revenues or raising additional capital to
sustain operations. Although we intend to obtain additional financing to meet
our cash needs and to support the revenue-generating process, we may be unable
to secure any additional financing on terms that are favorable or acceptable to
us, if at all.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
policy for the recognition of revenue is a critical accounting policy. The
Company recognizes revenue from sales under a license agreement when the
following four criteria are met: (1) there exists persuasive evidence of an
arrangement (e.g., a fully executed license agreement); (2) delivery of the
Winner’s Pot Poker game, felt and instructions has been made and the licensee
thereafter becomes responsible to replace such materials in the event of damage
or normal wear and tear; (3) the price is fixed or determinable; and (4) the
ability of the Company to collect amounts owed is reasonably
assured.
Our
policy regarding the determination of impairment of long-lived and intangible
assets is another critical accounting policy. In this regard, our management
reviews the Company’s long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived or
intangible asset may not be recoverable. If indications of impairment are
present and the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the
carrying value of the asset under scrutiny, the value of that asset will be
adjusted appropriately. No impairment indicators were present as of December
31, 2008 or December 31, 2007.
Further
information on our critical accounting policies and estimates can be found in
our financial statements and notes thereto included in this report and in our
report Form 10-K filed with the SEC in March 2009. There have been no material
changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed
in our report Form 10-K.
Item
4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A control
system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance the objectives of the control system are
met.
As of
September 30, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer recognized the additional risks to an effective internal
control environment with a limited accounting staff and the inability to fully
segregate all duties within our accounting and financial functions, including
the financial reporting and quarterly close process. Management has concluded
that, with certain oversight controls that are in place and the duties we have
been able to successfully segregate, the remaining risks associated with the
lack of segregation of duties are not sufficient to justify the costs of
potential benefits to be gained by adding additional employees given our
development stage, the limited scope of our operations, and the number of
business transactions we currently process, nor do these remaining risks rise to
the level of a material weakness. Management intends to periodically reevaluate
this situation and continue to assess ways in which duties can be further
segregated as our business evolves. Based on these evaluations, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls
and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2009.
Changes
in Internal Controls
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
PART
II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1A. Risk Factors.
There
have been no material changes to our risk factors and uncertainties during or
since the period covered by this report. For a discussion of risk factors
applicable to Poker Magic and its business, please refer to the “Risk Factors”
section of our report Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27,
2009.
Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On
September 30, 2009, we issued a total of 200,000 shares of common stock to our
Chief Executive Officer (100,000 shares) and Chief Financial Officer (100,000)
for officer compensation. The Company offered and sold the shares in reliance
on the exemptions from registration set forth in Sections 4(2) or 4(6) of the
Securities Act of 1933 since the recipients of the shares were “accredited
investors” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. In addition, all
certificates representing the shares offered and sold contained a restrictive
legend indicating that such shares constituted “restricted securities” under the
Securities Act of 1933.
Item
5. Other Information.
On
October 13, 2009, Lantern Advisers, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company
owned equally by Douglas Polinsky and Joseph A. Geraci, II (each of whom is an
officer and director of the Company), loaned the Company $10,000 under terms and
conditions set forth in a related unsecured term promissory note. The
promissory note provides for simple interest to accrue on the unpaid principal
balance of the promissory note at the rate of 12% per annum, and requires that
accrued interest be paid on a monthly basis until October 12, 2010, at which
time the entire unpaid principal balance of the promissory note will become due.
The loan was made to provide working capital to the Company.
