NOTE
1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description
of operations and basis of presentation
Poker
Magic, Inc. (the “Company”) is a development stage company that was incorporated
in the State of Minnesota on January 10, 2006. Our business consists
primarily of marketing and licensing a new form of poker-based table game to
casinos and on-line gaming facilities in the United States.
Interim
financial information
The
following condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, which has been
derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited interim condensed
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States and pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim
financial information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to
such rules and regulations. Operating results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ending December 31, 2010 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, 2009. 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 June 30, 2010, the Company incurred a net
loss of $761,218. 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.
Fair
value of financial instruments
The
carrying amounts of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including
cash, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate fair value due to their
relatively short maturities.
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 $2,068 for both
of the three month s ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, $4,136 for both of the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and $35,153 for the period from January 10,
2006 (inception) to June 30, 2010. Estimated amortization expense for the next
two years of patents issued as of June 30, 2010 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 June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.
NOTE
2—NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net
loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding
during the period. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the
calculation of basic and diluted net loss per common share follows:

The

calculation of diluted loss per share as their effects were anti-dilutive due to
the Company’s net losses for that period.

NOTE
5—INCOME TAXES
The
Company applies the guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income tax
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. There are no uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2010

At June
30, 2010, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforward of

federal and state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2027
if not used before such time to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities.
Current and future changes in the stock ownership of the Company may place
limitations on the use of these net operating loss carryforwards.

|
|
|

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
|
|
|

The
foregoing list is not exhaustive. In light of the foregoing,
prospective investors are cautioned that the forward-looking statements included

contained in this filing will be achieved in any specified time frame, if

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.”
For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we generated $600 and $1,800 in
revenues, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010,
we incurred $2,098 and $4,226 in revenue-related costs, respectively, and
$24,951 and $62,330 in operating expenses, respectively. 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 executive management for services rendered, and (ii)
expenses for professional services such as legal and accounting
services.
As of
June 30, 2010, we had $2,181 in cash on hand and current liabilities of
$92,384. As of the date of this filing, we had approximately $12,700
in cash on hand, and our management presently believes this cash will be
sufficient to continue operations through September 2010. 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 September 2010.
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.”

table above demonstrates, during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
we had revenues of $600 and $2,025, respectively and incurred $2,098 and $3,794,
respectively, in revenue-related costs. We currently have one
contract with one client and have had that contract with that one client since
August 2008. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, our one
client utilized one weekend-only game compared to their use of one
seven-day-per-week game and one weekend-only game for the three months ended
June 30, 2009.
Our
operating expenses decreased 30.32% in the three months ended June 30, 2010
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to reductions in operating
and legal, accounting and general operating expenses. We expect these
expenses will remain stable throughout the remainder of 2010.
Our legal
and accounting expenses decreased 29.01% for the three months ended June 30,
2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. 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 continue to be significant, but will be less
than the amounts spent during fiscal 2009.

As the
table above demonstrates, during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we
had revenues of $1,800 and $3,650, respectively, and incurred $4,226 and $8,242,
respectively, in revenue-related costs. We currently have one
contract with one client and have had that contract with that one client since
August 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, our one
client utilized two weekend-only games for two months and one weekend-only game
for four months compared to their use of one seven-day-per-week game and one
weekend-only game for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Our
operating expenses decreased 32.68% in the six months ended June 30, 2010
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to reductions in operating
and legal, accounting and general operating expenses. We expect these
expenses will remain stable throughout the remainder of 2010.
Our legal
and accounting expenses decreased 33.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2010
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. 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 continue to be significant, but will be less
than the amounts spent during fiscal 2009.
We
presently expect that compensation expense arising from share issuances to our
executive management will remain materially consistent with fiscal
2009. We issue 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 reduce 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 2010.
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 the
remainder of fiscal 2010.

The
decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of a
reduction in consulting service expense paid in stock, a reduction in
routine professional services fees and overall reduction in operating expenses
offset in part by an increase in interest expense. As of June
30, 2010, we had $2,181 cash on hand and current liabilities
of $92,384. As of the date of this filing, our management
believes we have sufficient capital to continue operations through September
2010 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 June 30, 2010 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
remainder of fiscal year 2010. 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 June 30, 2010 (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
2010.
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,” our selling, general
and administrative expenses overall decreased in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and are
expected to remain stable throughout the remainder of 2010. However,
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 2010. 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
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 (the “Commission”) adopted
temporary regulations governing the Winner’s Pot Poker game. On July 16,
2010, the Commission approved our petition to conduct business as a licensed
casino service industry supplier with Bally’s Park Place. It is, however,
extremely difficult to anticipate 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. We anticipate expansion of our marketing efforts into tribal nations
in Oklahoma during 2010. 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
(obtained in July 2010)
|
|
|
·
|
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;
and
|
|
|
·
|
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
Oklahoma.
|
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 material
aspects of these laws and regulations may be found in our Annual Report on Form
10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2010.
Financing
As
discussed above under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” our
management believes we have sufficient capital to continue operations through
September 2010. 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 September 2010.
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 June 30, 2010, we had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $761,218. These factors, among others,
raise 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 June 30, 2010 or December 31, 2009.
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
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC in February 2010. There
have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates
from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not
applicable.
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
June 30, 2010, 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 June 30, 2010.
Changes
in Internal Controls
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of
Proceeds.
On June
30, 2010, we issued a total of 150,000 shares of common stock to our Chief
Executive Officer (75,000 shares) and Chief Financial Officer (75,000 shares)
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 3. Defaults upon

Reserved.
Item 5. Other
Information.
On July
16, 2010, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission approved our petition to
conduct business as a licensed casino service industry enterprise supplier with
Bally’s Park Place.
On July
29, 2010, Lantern Advisers, LLC and the Company agreed to extend through July
29, 2011 the term of an unsecured promissory note, originally delivered by the
Company on July 30, 2009 and due on July 29, 2010. Accrued but unpaid
interest as of July 29, 2010, aggregating to $1,200, was similarly included in
the extended loan terms. Other than the new maturity date, the
extended loan will have the same terms as those contained in the July 30, 2009
promissory note.
On August
1, 2010, 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 July 31, 2011, 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.
