CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Nature of Business

Gaming Partners International Corporation (GPIC), a Nevada corporation, was formerly known as Paul-Son Gaming Corporation and owns, directly or indirectly, three subsidiaries as the result of various combination and merger agreements: Gaming Partners International USA, Inc. (GPI USA), Gaming Partners International SAS (GPI SAS), and GPI Mexicana S.A. de C.V. (GPI Mexicana). GPI USA, formerly Paul-Son Gaming Supplies, Inc., was founded in 1963 in Las Vegas by our former Chairman, Paul S. Endy, Jr., and initially manufactured and sold dice to casinos in Las Vegas. The former Bud Jones Company was founded in Las Vegas in 1965 by Bud Jones to manufacture and sell gaming supplies and, after being purchased in 2000 by GPI SAS, eventually merged into GPI USA. GPI SAS, formerly Etablissements Bourgogne et Grasset S.A., was founded in 1923 by Etienne Bourgogne and Claudius Grasset in Beaune, France to produce and sell counterfeit-resistant chips to casinos in Monaco. The Company has established brand names such as Paulson®; Bourgogne et Grasset Ò , or B&G, Bud Jones Ò ; and T-K®. GPIC and each of its subsidiaries are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” “us,” “we,” or “our.”

We are headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and have manufacturing facilities located in Las Vegas, Nevada; San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico; and Beaune, France. GPI USA has sales offices in Las Vegas, Nevada; Atlantic City, New Jersey; and Gulfport, Mississippi and sells its casino products to licensed casinos primarily in the United States and Canada. GPI SAS has a sales office in Beaune, France and sells its casino products internationally to licensed casinos.

Our business activities include the manufacture and supply of gaming chips, table layouts, playing cards, dice, gaming furniture, roulette wheels and miscellaneous table accessories such as chip trays, drop boxes and dealing shoes, which are used in conjunction with casino table games such as blackjack, poker, baccarat, craps, and roulette.

Basis of Consolidation and Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GPIC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries GPI SAS, GPI USA, and GPI Mexicana. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect only normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The provisions of this statement are generally to be applied prospectively in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within that fiscal year. The FASB has issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP 157-2), which applies to non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. For items within its scope, FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company has adopted SFAS 157 for our marketable securities and the disclosure requirements are reflected in Note 2 of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). The new statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item’s

Table of Contents

GAMING PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. At this time, the Company has chosen not to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. This currently has no impact for the Company.

In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3) which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . The intent of FSP 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, and other US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, there are additional disclosure requirements for recognized intangible assets that enable users of the financial statements to assess the extent to which expected future cash flows associated with the asset are affected by the entity’s intent and/or the ability to renew or extend the arrangement. FSP 142-3 shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP 142-3 on its financial statements.

Note 2. Marketable Securities

Available for sale marketable securities consist of investments in securities offered by French banks, primarily bond portfolios (in thousands):

	June 30, 2008						December 31, 2007
	Cost		Gross Unrealized Gain		Fair Value		Cost		Gross Unrealized Gain		Fair Value
Current marketable securities	$	5,399	$	5	$	5,404	$	4,730	$	—	$	4,730
Long-term marketable securities	$	788	$	—	$	788	$	736	$	—	$	736

Long-term marketable securities include 500,000 euros ($788,000 at June 30, 2008), which must be maintained as a minimum balance as security for a loan obtained in June 2006.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company has determined that its marketable securities should be presented at their fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For valuation techniques using a fair value hierarchy, the Company has determined that all of its marketable securities fall into the Level 1 category, which values assets at the quoted prices in active markets for the same identical assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the fair value recognized on our marketable securities was $6.2 million, while at the year ended December 31, 2007, the value was $5.5 million. There were no assets or liabilities where Level 2 and 3 valuation techniques were used and there were no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Note 6. Stock Option Programs and Share-Based Compensation Expense

Stock Option Programs and Warrants

We have stock option programs, which consist of the 1994 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Incentive Plan) and the 1994 Directors’ Stock Option Plan, as amended (Directors’ Plan).

Table of Contents

GAMING PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options to executive officers, key employees, outside consultants and employee-directors. The Incentive Plan expired on January 30, 2004, except as to the stock options outstanding on that date. All of the outstanding stock options under the Incentive Plan have vested. The options granted under the Incentive Plan expire upon the earlier of ten years after the date of the grant or five years after vesting, subject to earlier termination for death, retirement, or termination of employment and association.

The Directors’ Plan provides that each non-employee director, upon joining the Board of Directors, will receive an option to purchase 6,000 shares of common stock. The initial option grant vests over a three year period, with one-third of the option grant vesting at the end of each year. At the beginning of the fourth year of service on the Board of Directors, and each year thereafter, each non-employee director receives an annual grant to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock. In addition, each year each non-employee director receives an option to purchase 1,500 shares of common stock for serving on certain committees of the Board of Directors. Options granted after the initial option grant vest immediately and are exercisable after six months.

In 2008, the Board of Directors amended and the stockholders subsequently approved an amendment to the Directors’ Plan to: (i) increase the total number of shares of common stock for which options may be granted to 450,000, an increase of 100,000 shares, and (ii) include authorization by the Board of Directors to grant discretionary stock options covering up to 100,000 of the total 450,000 shares to non-employee directors. Discretionary stock options vest immediately and are exercisable after six months. In connection with the amendment to the Directors’ Plan, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 on July 8, 2008, to register the underlying shares.

In the second quarter of 2008, a total of 40,000 discretionary stock options were granted to three directors for board services performed in excess of their normal board responsibilities. The resulting share-based compensation expense was $154,000.

The following is a summary of stock option activity for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2008:

	Shares	Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)

Note 7. Earnings per Share (EPS)

In accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings per Share , basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the effect of potential common stock, which consists primarily of assumed stock options. Potentially dilutive securities are not taken into account when their effect would be antidilutive.

The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months ended		Six Months ended
	June 30,		June 30,
	2008	2007	2008	2007
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - Basic	8,103	8,103	8,103	8,099
Potential dilution from equity grants	81	142	100	—
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding - Diluted	8,184	8,245	8,203	8,099

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company was in a loss position and, accordingly, the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding were equal because any increase to the basic shares would be antidilutive. Therefore, we did not calculate the dilutive effect of the 341,000 options outstanding.

Note 8. B usiness Segments

SFAS 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information , requires public business enterprises to report selected reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires public business enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in interim and annual financial reports. We manufacture and sell casino table game equipment and have determined that we operate in one operating segment - casino game equipment products. Although the Company derives its revenues from a number of different product lines, the Company does not allocate resources based on the operating results from the individual product lines nor does it manage each individual product line as a separate business unit.

Legal Proceedings and Contingencies

Liabilities for material claims against the Company are accrued when a loss is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs associated with claims are expensed as incurred.

On September 6, 2007, The Center for Environmental Health (CEH), a non-profit environmental advocacy group, filed its first amended complaint against Gaming Partners International USA, Inc. (GPI USA) and card rooms (the Card Room Defendants) that purchased gaming chips manufactured by GPI USA. The complaint was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, under Case No. RG07336796. CEH had previously served GPI USA and the Card Room Defendants with a 60-day Notice of Violation (NOV), which is a pre-condition to bringing a private action under the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, also known as Proposition 65. Proposition 65 requires that persons in the course of doing business in California provide a clear and reasonable warning before exposing anyone to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or reproductive harm.

The CEH action alleged that Paulson® brand gaming chips manufactured by GPI USA and distributed in California contain lead, a Proposition 65 listed chemical, and that GPI USA and the Card Room Defendants failed for a three-year period to provide the required warning in connection with the sale and use of the chips. CEH seeks, and Proposition 65 authorizes, civil penalties and injunctive relief as well as recovery of costs and legal fees. GPI USA received and accepted tenders of defense from twenty-one of the twenty-four Card Room Defendants named in the action, all of whom purchased gaming chips from GPI USA without knowledge that the chips contained lead and may have been subject to Proposition 65 warning requirements.

GPI USA has reached a $575,000 settlement with CEH on its own behalf as well as on behalf of the owners of the twenty-one Card Room Defendants for whom GPI USA accepted tenders of defense. The settlement was entered as a consent judgment and approved by the court on August 1, 2008. In the consent judgment, GPI USA further agreed to provide warning signs to its customers who are using chips that contain lead and to reformulate its gaming chips to reduce the amount of lead present in them such that a warning will no longer need to be provided by it to its customers who purchase those reformulated chips. GPI USA has already complied with these two requirements.

On June 27, 2007, a putative class action complaint alleging violations of federal securities laws based on alleged misstatements and omissions by the Company, entitled Robert J. Kaplan v. Gerard P. Charlier, Paul S. Dennis, Eric P. Endy, Alain Thieffry, Elisabeth Carrette, Robert J. Kelly, Charles R. Henry, Laura McAllister Cox and Gaming Partners International Corporation was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, under Case No. 2:07-cv-00849-LDG-GWF. Plaintiff Kaplan has been designated by the court as “Lead Plaintiff.” On February 12, 2008, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint,

deleting several of the above named defendants, and adding three others. The action is now captioned Robert J. Kaplan v. Gerard P. Charlier, Melody J. Sullivan a/k/a Melody Sullivan Yowell, David Grimes, Charles T. McCullough, Eric P. Endy, Elisabeth Carrette and Gaming Partners International Corporation. The Company has engaged counsel and intends to vigorously defend against the claims presented. Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint on April 16, 2008. The disposition of that motion is currently pending.

On August 31, 2007, a shareholders derivative complaint alleging breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, and unjust enrichment, entitled Glenn D. Hutton, derivatively on behalf of Nominal Defendant Gaming Partners International Corp., plaintiff, vs. Gerard P. Charlier, Eric P. Endy, Alain Thieffry, Elisabeth Carrette, Robert J. Kelly, Charles R. Henry and David W. Grimes, defendants, and Gaming Partners International Corp., Nominal Defendant was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, under Case No., 2:07-cv-01180-JCM-LRL. The Company engaged counsel and intends to vigorously defend against the claims presented. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on June 30, 2008 claiming, among other things, that the complaint should be dismissed for failure to make a demand on the directors. Briefing of that motion has not been completed, and the disposition of the motion is currently pending.

The French Tax Administration completed an audit of GPI SAS for tax years 2004, 2005, and 2006 and in March 2007 sent a notice seeking additional taxes of 551,000 euros based on their findings. In July 2007, they revised their assessment to 531,000 euros. In June 2008, after a discussion of the merits of the assessment, the French Tax Administration agreed with our position that no additional taxes were due and renounced its claim. Therefore, the Company reversed the accrual of $217,000 that had been made under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48 ). The impact of this reversal was a non-cash income tax benefit of $209,000, and a credit to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of $8,000.

We are engaged in disputes and claims in the normal course of business. We believe the ultimate outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Commitments

On October 25, 2001, GPI SAS entered into an exclusive patent license agreement with Enpat, Inc. The subject patents were subsequently sold by Enpat, Inc. to Shuffle Master Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2004. Thereafter, in the second quarter of 2005, Shuffle Master Inc. sold 50% of its rights in the subject patents to International Game Technology and later the other 50% of its rights in the subject patents also to International Game Technology. The agreement grants GPI SAS (and its affiliated GPIC companies) the exclusive rights to manufacture and distribute gaming chips and readers in the United States under the patents for a gaming chip tracking system and method, which utilizes gaming chips with embedded electronic circuits scanned by antennas in gaming chip placement areas (gaming tables and casino cage), or Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID) technology. The duration of the exclusive agreement is for the life of the patents, the last of which expire in 2015. Minimum annual royalty payments of $125,000 are required to be made by GPIC over the remaining life of the exclusive patent license agreement.

On November 3, 2005, GPI USA entered into an exclusive purchase agreement with a supplier for particular raw materials used to manufacture finished goods. The supplier agreed to not compete in the sale of these finished goods in the United States during the five-year term of the agreement. GPI USA was required to purchase a minimum amount of raw material totaling $569,000 in the first year and $711,000 per year for years two through five of the agreement. The prices negotiated under this agreement represent prevailing market prices at the time of the agreement. As of June 30, 2008, we had purchased more than the minimum required by the agreement. On June 18, 2008, the agreement was amended to extend the term five years from August 1, 2008 and to expand the territory in which the supplier would not compete to Europe, South America, and all of North America. Our commitment to purchase raw material will increase to $923,000 in the first year of the amended agreement and $952,000 per year for years two through five of the amended agreement.

Line of Credit

In April 2007, GPI SAS secured a one year, 1,000,000 euros line of credit for short term needs. Interest was at a variable rate and based on Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus 0.35%.This line of credit expired in April 2008 and was not renewed.

Note 11. Related Party Transactions

We lease two manufacturing facilities totaling 80,400 square feet located in San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico from an entity controlled by the family of the General Manager of GPI Mexicana. The lease runs through April 2009 at the monthly rent amount of approximately $0.35 per square foot, or $28,140. If we elect, at our discretion, to use more or less square footage, our rent will be increased or decreased accordingly on a pro rata basis. The 80,400 square feet represents a 14,000 square foot increase effective April 1, 2008, to accommodate the relocation of our Las Vegas-based chip manufacturing operations to Mexico.

The General Manager is neither a director nor an executive officer. The charter of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors requires the Audit Committee to review and approve related party transactions involving our directors and executive officers.

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

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of our results of operations and our present financial condition. The condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contain additional detailed information that should be referred to when reviewing this material. Statements in this discussion may be forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed. See Item 1A, Risk Factors of the Company’s Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007.

For a Company Overview and information on our products as well as general information, see Part I—Item 1. Business of the Company’s Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007.

Overview of our Business

GPIC manufactures and supplies (under the brand names of Paulson®, Bourgogne et Grasset®, and Bud Jones®) casino chips including low frequency and high frequency RFID casino chips, low frequency and high frequency RFID readers, table layouts, playing cards, dice, gaming furniture, roulette wheels, table accessories, and other products that are used with casino table games such as blackjack, poker, baccarat, craps and roulette. GPIC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, with offices in Beaune, France; San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico; Atlantic City, New Jersey; and Gulfport, Mississippi. GPIC sells its casino products directly to licensed casinos throughout the world. We operate in one segment and have two operating subsidiaries, GPI USA and GPI SAS, a French subsidiary. Our subsidiaries have the following product and distribution focus:

· GPI USA sells primarily in the United States. GPI USA sells our full product line. Most of the products sold by GPI USA are manufactured in Mexico with the remainder either manufactured in Las Vegas or France.

· GPI SAS sells internationally, with most sales occurring in Europe and Asia. GPI SAS predominately sells casino chips including both American-style casino chips and European-style casino chips, which are also known as plaques and jetons. Most of the products sold by GPI SAS are manufactured in France.

The Company has historically experienced significant fluctuations in its quarterly operating results and expects such fluctuations to continue in the future. The Company’s operating results fluctuate due to a number of factors, but primarily reflect the opening of new casinos, the expansion of existing casinos, and large replacement orders for casino chips - our primary product line, which typically represents over 60% of revenues. The one-time or non-recurring nature of these events necessarily creates variability in revenue and earnings. Further, the timing of these one-time or non-recurring events is difficult to predict and, largely, beyond our ability to influence. While most large projects are pursued years in advance, both large and small sales opportunities arise with little prior notice. An indicator of future sales is found in our backlog report, which reports signed orders that are planned to be shipped within the reminder of the fiscal year.

Backlog

	GPI USA		GPI SAS		Total
June 30, 2008	$	10.0 million	$	3.7 million	$	13.7 million
June 30, 2007	$	7.7 million	$	9.9 million	$	17.6 million

A significant part of our strategy is to create new demand for casino chips through the use of RFID technology. RFID imbedded casino chips provide casinos with two benefits. The first benefit is enhanced security. RFID addresses the ongoing threat to casinos of someone counterfeiting their “currency”. The second benefit is casino chip tracking and player tracking. RFID allows casinos to account automatically for their inventory of casino chips and monitor their table games in a manner similar to their slot machines. Implementation of RFID technology requires computer systems for table management and local presence for after-sales services. As GPIC does not offer these computer systems or after-sale services, we formed a strategic alliance with Progressive Gaming International Corporation (PGIC) and a relationship with International Game Technology (IGT) in order to offer RFID casino chip technology as part of a comprehensive tracking and management system. A direct result of our collaboration with PGIC and IGT led to GPIC winning an order for over one million Paulson® 13.56 MHz RFID casino chips. These casino chips were delivered in April 2008 to MGM Grand at Foxwoods, the new expansion of the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut, for its opening in mid-May 2008.

Overview of our Industry

Much of our growth in recent years has been as a result of the major developments in the gaming industry in Macau. Although the gaming industry has had great success in Macau, we anticipate fewer new casino openings. In April 2008, a high-ranking government official in Macau, Edmund Ho, announced a freeze on new development beyond that which was currently underway or in discussion. Asia, primarily Macau, remains an important market and represented 28% of our revenues in the first two quarters of 2008.

The general slow down of revenues in the domestic gaming industry, which appears to be attributable to economic concerns in the United States, may be affecting our sales and could have an adverse effect in future quarters. In the near term, we would expect any slowing effect to be associated with consumable products such as dice, cards and layouts more than casino chips.

Financial and Operational Highlights

We had improved results for the second quarter of 2008. Our net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $1.8 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 320%, from the second quarter of 2007, and an increase of $2.3 million from the first quarter of 2008. Our revenues for the second quarter of 2008 were $18.9 million, an increase of $4.1 million, or 28%, from the second quarter of 2007, and an increase of $6.7 million, or 56%, from the first quarter of 2008. The increase in net income and revenue is primarily attributable to several significant casino chip deliveries as a result of casino openings in the United States.

Also favorably affecting our results in the second quarter of 2008 was the successful resolution of an income tax matter before the French Tax Administration we had previously disclosed. This matter was resolved without any payment required by the Company and the $217,000 reserve was eliminated.

In the second quarter of 2008 we completed the move of plastic injection molding for Bud Jones casinos chips from Las Vegas to our manufacturing facility in Mexico. We have invested approximately $290,000 in leasehold improvements and equipment in connection with the relocation. We expect the product line to be fully operational by the end of the third quarter 2008.

GPI SAS uses the euro as its functional currency. As of December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008 the US dollar to euro exchange rates were 1.4721 and 1.5764, respectively, which was a 7.1 % change. The average exchange rates for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 were 1.5309 and 1.3293, which was a 15% change.

In July 2008, GPI SAS was certified ISO 9001 compliant, which provides external validation to our quality control processes.

Other Matters

The Board of Directors is working to develop a CEO succession plan that will be implemented over the next year as Mr. Gerard Charlier, our current President and CEO, is scheduled to retire in September 2009.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Financial statement preparation requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared using the same critical accounting estimates discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

In the second quarter of 2008, GPI SAS recorded revenues of $6.3 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 23%, compared to $5.1 million in 2007. The strengthening of the euro against the US dollar caused GPI SAS’ revenues to be 15% higher during the second quarter 2008 compared to the second quarter 2007. The additional increase was due to an increase in sales of American-style casino chips to casinos in Macau. In the second quarter of 2008, GPI USA recorded revenues of $12.6 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 30%, as compared to revenues of $9.7 million in 2007. The increase in revenues at GPI USA was primarily attributable to the sale of American-style casino chips to newly opened casinos in the United States, such as the MGM Grand at Foxwoods.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, revenues were $31.0 million, an increase of $7.3 million, or 31%, compared to revenues of $23.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, GPI SAS recorded revenues of $12.6 million, an increase of $5.3 million, or 73% compared to $7.3 million in 2007. The strengthening of the euro against the US dollar caused GPI SAS’ revenues to be 15% higher during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 2007. The additional increase was attributable to the increase explained above for the second quarter of 2008 as well as a strong rebound in sales of European-style and American-style casino chips in the first quarter 2008 compared to a very low first quarter 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, GPI USA recorded revenues of $18.4 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 12%, as compared to revenues of $16.4 million in 2007. This increase was due primarily to strong sales of American-style casino chips in the second quarter of 2008 compared to 2007 that offset declines across other product lines, for the first two quarters of 2008 compared to 2007.

Cost of Revenues For the three months ended June 30, 2008, cost of revenues was $12.4 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 22%, compared to cost of revenues of $10.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of revenues, the cost of revenues decreased to 65.7% in 2008 from 68.8% in 2007.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, cost of revenues was $20.7 million, an increase of $3.2 million or 18%, compared to cost of revenues of $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of revenues, the cost of revenues decreased to 66.9% for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 compared to 73.9% for the same period in 2007.

Gross Profit Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased by $1.9 million, or 41%, compared to 2007. This occurred as a result of the increase in revenues of $4.1 million and an increase in cost of revenues of $2.2 million. As a percentage of revenues, our gross margin increased to 34.3% from 31.2%. The gross margin increase was primarily driven by 1) the increase in revenues and associated production at both GPI USA and GPI SAS in the second quarter 2008 compared to second quarter 2007, which allowed fixed costs to be allocated over higher production, and 2) a more favorable product mix due to increased sales of higher margin casino chips. These favorable factors were partially offset by a $0.2 million charge related to a quality issue with RFID casino chips.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased by $4.1 million, or 66%, compared to 2007. This occurred as a result of the increase in revenues of $7.3 million and an increase in cost of revenues of $3.2 million. As a percentage of revenues, our gross margin increased to 33.1% from 26.1%. The gross margin increase was primarily driven by 1) the increase in revenues and

associated production at both GPI USA and GPI SAS in the first two quarters of 2008 compared to 2007, which allowed fixed costs to be allocated over higher production volumes and 2) a more favorable product mix due to increased sales of higher margin casino chips. These favorable factors were partially offset by a $0.2 million charge related to a quality issue with RFID casino chips.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses The following table details the selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months and six months ended June 30 (in thousands):

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by less than $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 2007, while decreasing as a percent of revenue from 29.2% to 21.5%. Marketing and sales increased slightly by $0.1 million due primarily to the 15% increase in the value of the euro compared to the US dollar, which makes euro-based expenses at GPI SAS higher when translated into US dollars. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.3 million due primarily to reductions in salary expenses, public company expenses and professional fees in 2008 as compared to 2007 offset by $0.1 million attributable to the 15% increase in the value of the euro compared to the US dollar.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were flat for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to June 30, 2007, while decreasing as a percent of revenue from 34.9% to 26.7%. Marketing and sales increased $0.2 million primarily due to higher sales commissions. General and administrative expenses decreased slightly by $0.1 million due to several factors, with the most significant decrease in salaries. The decreases were partially offset by the 15% increase in the value of the euro compared to the US dollar, which makes euro-based expenses at GPI SAS higher when translated into US dollars.

For the three months ended June 30, 2008, other income (expense) decreased by $0.2 million compared to the 2007 period due primarily to a refund check from the French Social Security Administration received in 2007.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the increase in the value of the euro compared to the US dollar resulted in a $0.2 million greater loss in foreign currency transactions as compared to 2007. Other income decreased by $0.2 million due to a refund check from the French Social Security Administration received in 2007.

Income Taxes Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 25% compared to the effective income tax rate of 18% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, was positively impacted by the release of a prior period reserve for uncertain tax positions, related to the successful resolution of

Table of Contents

the GPI SAS tax audit by the French Tax Administration. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 differed from the statutory rate as a result of the Company’s expected repatriation of non-cash dividends from GPI SAS in 2007 and recognition of the difference in the book and tax basis in shares of GPI SAS.

The French Tax Administration completed an audit of GPI SAS for tax years 2004, 2005, and 2006 and in March 2007, sent a notice seeking additional taxes of 551,000 euros based on their findings. In July 2007, they revised their assessment to 531,000 euros. In June 2008, after a discussion of the merits of the assessment, the French Tax Administration agreed with our position that no additional taxes were due and renounced its claim. Therefore, the Company reversed the accrual of $217,000 that had been made under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48 ). The impact of this reversal was a non-cash income tax benefit of $209,000, and a credit to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of $8,000.

Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 22% compared to 42% for the same period of 2007. The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was positively impacted by the release of a prior year reserve for uncertain tax positions, related to the successful resolution of the GPI SAS tax audit by the French Tax Administration. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2007 differed from the statutory rate as a result of the Company’s expected repatriation of non-cash dividends from GPI SAS in 2007 and recognition of the difference in the book and tax basis in shares of GPI SAS.

Our corporate tax rate is calculated on a consolidated basis. Our corporate costs are not allocated to our French subsidiary, GPI SAS.

Income Tax Uncertainties During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. Under the requirements of FIN 48, the Company must review all of its tax positions and make a determination as to whether its position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by regulatory authorities. The more-likely-than-not recognition threshold must continue to be met in each reporting period to support continued recognition of a benefit. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not standard, then the related tax benefit is measured based on the cumulative probability analysis of the amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement or disposition of the underlying issue.

After the change described above regarding the resolution of the French Tax Administration audit, there are no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview As of June 30, 2008, we had $6.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $5.4 million in current marketable securities. Of the cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, $3.6 million is held by GPI USA and $8.7 million is held by GPI SAS. Negative tax consequences, however, may make it impractical or costly to distribute cash from our French subsidiary to the United States. If our cash needs increase, we will evaluate other cash sources, including lending facilities in the United States and abroad. We believe that the combination of our cash flow from operations and cash on hand will be sufficient to fund expenses from routine operations for a minimum of the next twelve months.

Working Capital Working capital totaled $19.2 million at June 30, 2008 and $16.9 million at December 31, 2007. Working capital increased due to an increase in current assets of $3.7 million and an increase in current liabilities of $1.4 million. The increase in current assets was due primarily to increases of $3.0 million in cash and marketable securities and $1.3 million in inventories, offset by a $0.6 million decrease in other current assets. The increase in inventories was due primarily to pending shipments. The increase in current liabilities was due primarily to increases of $0.6 million in income taxes payable and $0.3 million in customer deposits. The increase in income taxes payable was due to increased profitability in the second quarter requiring additional income taxes.

Cash Flow Overall, our cash balance increased from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008 by $2.3 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $0.2 million provided by operating activities during the same period in 2007. For the period ended June 30, 2008, $2.5 million of cash was

Table of Contents

provided by net income-related activities. In 2008, cash was also provided by an increase in current liabilities of $1.0 million. In the period ended June 30, 2007, $0.3 million of cash was provided by net income-related activities. Additionally, cash was provided by an increase in current liabilities of $2.8 million. This was offset by an increase in current assets of $2.9 million.

Our investing activities resulted in net cash used of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $0.8 million in net cash provided by investing activities for the same period in 2007. This $1.9 million change was attributable to a decrease in net proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $2.4 million from 2008 compared to 2007, which was offset by a decrease in cash spent on acquisition of property and equipment of $0.5 million.

Net cash flow used in financing activities was $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and also $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Line of Credit In April 2007, GPI SAS secured a one year 1,000,000 euros line of credit for short term needs. Interest was at a variable rate and based on Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus 0.35%. This line of credit expired in April 2008 and was not renewed.

Long-term Debt In February 2001, GPI SAS borrowed 2.6 million euros (approximately $2.4 million in February 2001) from an unaffiliated party. Principal and interest payments were due quarterly until February 2008. The loan was paid off in the first quarter of 2008.

In March 2002, GPI USA entered into a $995,000 loan transaction secured by a Deed of Trust on its Las Vegas building, at an interest rate equal to the greater of (i) 8% per annum, or (ii) 362.5 basis points over the average of the London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) for six-month dollar deposits in the London market based on quotations of major banks, but may not exceed 12% per annum. This loan is payable in arrears in equal monthly installments through March 2012, at which time the entire remaining principal balance is due and payable. There is no prepayment penalty.

In May 2004, GPI SAS entered into a 350,000 euro (approximately $423,000 in May 2004) loan transaction with a French bank. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.6% per annum, is due in May 2011, and is secured by a mortgage on the building premises.

In June 2006, GPI SAS entered into a 1.5 million euro (approximately $1.9 million in June 2006) loan agreement with a French bank. The loan has a five-year term at a fixed rate of 3.4% per annum. The loan is repayable in fixed quarterly installments. The loan is secured by GPI SAS’ marketable securities at the bank. GPI SAS must maintain a minimum balance of at least 500,000 euros ($788,000 at June 30, 2008). There are no prepayment penalties.

Seasonality We do not typically experience seasonality relative to our revenues, however, operations may be impacted, in the third quarter of each year when GPI SAS is closed for a substantial part of the month of August, due to the traditional French holiday period.

Las Vegas, Nevada Facilities In May 1997, we purchased our current corporate headquarters, an approximately 60,000 square foot building located in Las Vegas that also serves as a manufacturing/warehousing facility and sales office. The Las Vegas headquarters secures the $995,000 loan pursuant to the Deed of Trust. See “Long-term Debt” above.

San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico Facilities In San Luis, we have a lease until April 2009 for two manufacturing facilities totaling 80,400 square feet. The monthly rent amount of approximately $0.35 per square foot is prorated commensurate with the space that we elect to use. We also own an approximately 66,000 square foot facility adjacent to the leased building.

Beaune, France Facilities In Beaune, we own an approximately 34,000 square foot manufacturing facility and a 15,000 square foot administrative and sales building located nearby.

Capital Expenditures We currently plan to purchase approximately $0.9 million in capital equipment and improvements in the remainder of 2008.

Cash Dividend The Board of Directors presently does not intend to declare or pay any dividends for the foreseeable future.

Backlog At June 30, 2008, our backlog of orders, which is expected to be filled in 2008, amounted to $13.7 million, consisting of $10.0 million for GPI USA and $3.7 million for GPI SAS. At June 30, 2007, our backlog was $17.6 million, consisting of $7.7 million for GPI USA and $9.9 million for GPI SAS.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). The new statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item’s fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. At this time, the Company has chosen not to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities– an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. This currently has no impact for the Company.

In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3) which amended the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets . The intent of FSP 142-3 was to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, and other US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, there are additional disclosure requirements for recognized intangible assets that enable users of the financial statements to assess the extent to which expected future cash flows associated with the asset are affected by the entity’s intent and/or the ability to renew or extend the arrangement. FSP 142-3 shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP 142-3 on its financial statements.
