ENTERTAINMENT GAMING ASIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1.
Description
of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
The business activities of
the Company entail the owning and leasing of electronic gaming machines (EGMs) placed in premier hotels and other venues
in Cambodia and the Philippines, the development and operation of casinos and gaming establishments under the Dreamworld
brand in select emerging markets in the Indo-China region and the design, manufacture and distribution of gaming chips and
plaques under the Dolphin brand to major casinos primarily in Southeast Asia and Australia. Previously the Company was
engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of other, non-gaming plastic products, primarily for the automotive
industry. These operations were sold on March 28, 2013 and related historical revenues and expenses have been reclassified as
discontinued operations. The accounting policies of these segments are consistent with the Company’s policies for the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Effective since January 1, 2012, the Company
adopted the FASB issued ASU 2011-05,
Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, as amended by ASU
2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications
of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.
The amended standards eliminate
the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity
and require that all changes in stockholders’ equity - except investments by, and distributions to, owners - be presented
either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The adoption of
these amended standards revised the manner which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. In addition,
the amended standards require to present the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income by component in the statement of
stockholders’ equity or in the notes to the financial statements. The Company has elected to present the other comprehensive
income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income and present the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income
in the statement of stockholders’ equity. The adoption of the amended standards did not have any impact on the Company’s
financial position, results of operations, or earnings per share. The new presentation required by the amended standards has been
applied retrospectively to all periods presented.
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements
are prepared pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments, which management believes are necessary
to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, for the respective periods presented.
The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other
interim period or the year as a whole. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2013. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation.
The Company effected a 1-for-4 reverse
stock split of its common shares as of June 12, 2012. All historical share amounts and share price information presented in the
financial statements and notes have been proportionally adjusted to reflect the impact of this reverse stock split, including but
not limited to basic and diluted weighted-average shares issued and outstanding.
Principles
of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Entertainment Gaming Asia Inc. and all its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The Company is required to make estimates,
judgments and assumptions that it believes are reasonable based on its historical experience, contract terms, observance of known
trends in the Company and the industry as a whole, and information available from other outside sources. These estimates affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.
On a regular basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, product returns, long-lived
assets, inventory obsolescence, stock-based compensation, income taxes, bad debts, warranty obligations, long-term contracts, contingencies
and litigation. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Discontinued Operations
A discontinued operation is a component
of an entity that either has been disposed of, or that is classified as held for sale, and (i) represents a separate major line
of business or geographical area of operations; and (ii) is a part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major
line of business or geographical area of operations; or (iii) is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Non-current assets held for discontinued
operations are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Any gain or loss from disposal of a business,
together with the results of these operations until the date of disposal, is reported separately as discontinued operations. The
financial information of discontinued operations is excluded from the respective captions in the Company's consolidated statements
of comprehensive income and related notes for all years presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly-liquid instruments with original
maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary investments with
financial institutions. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had deposits with financial institutions in excess of Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured limits by approximately $4.5 million.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at face
value less any allowances for doubtful accounts. Allowances for doubtful accounts are maintained at levels determined by Company
management to adequately provide for uncollectible amounts. In determining the estimated uncollectable amounts, the Company evaluates
a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, activity in the related market, financial condition of customers, specific
customer collection experience and history of write-offs and collections. Interest income is imposed on overdue accounts receivable
after the Company evaluates a combination of factors, including but not limited to, customer collection experiences, customer relationship
and contract terms. Accounts receivable balances are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of
cost, determined using the first-in, first-out method, or market. Cost elements included in work-in-process and finished goods
include raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overheads.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for impairment
of long-lived assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 360,
Property, Plant and
Equipment
. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In such instances, the Company estimates the undiscounted future cash
flows that result from the use of the asset and its ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less
than the carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value
exceeds the fair value of the asset, determined principally using discounted cash flows. There were no impairment charges for
long-lived assets for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013. Impairment charges of approximately
$71,000 were recognized for long-lived assets for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012.
Prepaids, Deposits and Other Assets
Prepaids, deposits and other assets consist
primarily of prepaid leases, prepaid value-added taxes in foreign countries, prepayments to suppliers, rental and utilities deposits
and restricted cash as lease security. The Company had restricted cash in the amounts of $NIL and $331,000 as of June 30,
2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, in the form of certificates of deposits as security on leases.
Gaming Equipment
Gaming equipment consists primarily of
electronic gaming machines (EGMs) and systems. EGMs and systems are stated at cost. The Company depreciates new EGMs and systems
over a five-year useful life and depreciates refurbished EGMs and systems over a three-year useful life once placed in service.
Depreciation of gaming equipment of approximately $1.1 million and $1.2 million and $2.1 million and $2.3 million was included
in cost of gaming operations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets currently estimated to be three to
twenty years, which in the case of leasehold improvements, is limited to the life of the lease and throughout the renewal period
as long as renewal is reasonably assured.
Depreciation of property and
equipment of approximately $191,000 and $32,000 and $280,000 and $32,000 was recorded in the cost of gaming operations in the
consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012,
respectively.
Depreciation of property and equipment
of approximately $67,000 and $16,000 and $108,000 and $33,000 was included in cost of gaming products in the consolidated statements
of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Including
Casino Contracts
Intangible assets consist of patents, trademarks,
technical know-how, gaming operation agreement, casino contracts and goodwill. Intangible assets other than goodwill are amortized
on the straight-line basis over the period of time the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows,
which ranges from four to ten years. The straight-line amortization method is utilized because the Company believes there is no
more reliably determinable method of reflecting the pattern for which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed
or otherwise used.
Amortization expenses related to casino
contracts were approximately $617,000 and $615,000 and $1.2 million and $1.2 million for the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Amortization expenses related to other gaming related intangibles were approximately
$63,000 and $63,000 and $126,000 and $126,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The amounts were accounted for as cost of gaming operations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Amortization
expenses related to technical know-how were approximately $7,000 and $2,000 and $13,000 and $2,000 for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The amounts were accounted for as cost of gaming products in the consolidated
statements of comprehensive income. Amortization expenses related to patents and trademarks were approximately $6,000 and $6,000
and $12,000 and $12,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The amounts
were accounted for as selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The Company measures and tests finite-lived
intangibles for impairment when there are indicators of impairment in accordance with ASC 360-10-05,
Property, Plant and Equipment
.
The Company measures and tests Goodwill
for impairment, at least annually in accordance with ASC 350-10-05,
Intangibles — Goodwill and Other
.
Impairment testing for goodwill and other
intangibles requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, allocation of related goodwill, assignment of corporate
shared assets and liabilities to reporting units, estimated future cash flows and determinations of fair values. While the Company
believes its estimates of future revenues and cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions could materially affect the assessment
of useful lives, recoverability and fair values. No impairment charges relating to intangible assets were recorded for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Litigation and Other Contingencies
In the performance of its ordinary course
of business operations, the Company is subject to risks of various legal matters, litigation and claims of various types. The Company
has regular litigation reviews, including updates from corporate and outside counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition
or disclosure of these contingencies. The status of a significant claim is summarized in Note 16.
ASC 450,
Contingencies,
requires
that liabilities for contingencies be recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and that the amount can be
reasonably estimated. Significant management judgment is required related to contingent liabilities and the outcome of litigation
because both are difficult to predict. For a contingency for which an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and which is significant,
the Company discloses the nature of the contingency and, when feasible, an estimate of the possible loss.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following have
been satisfied:
|
·
|
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
|
|
·
|
The price to the customer is fixed and determinable;
|
|
·
|
Delivery has occurred and any acceptance terms have been fulfilled;
|
|
·
|
No significant contractual obligations remain; and
|
|
·
|
Collection is reasonably assured.
|
Gaming Revenue and Promotional Allowances
The Company earns recurring gaming revenue from its slot and
casino operations.
For slot operations, the Company earns
recurring gaming revenue by providing customers with EGMs and casino management systems which track game performance and provide
statistics on installed EGMs owned by the Company and leased to venue owners. Revenues are recognized on the contractual terms
of the slot agreements between the Company and the venue owners and are based on the Company’s share of net winnings, net
of customer incentives and commitment fees.
Revenues are recognized as earned with
the exception of one of the Company’s venues in which revenues were recognized when the payment for net winnings was received
as the collections from this venue were not reasonably assured. The slot contract with this venue owner was terminated on July
31, 2012 and the Company collected the balance of payments in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Commitment fees paid to the venue operators
relating to contract amendments which are not recoverable from daily net win are capitalized as assets and amortized as a reduction
of revenue over the term of the amended contracts. The Company had commitment fee balances related to contract amendments of approximately
$288,000 and $342,000 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
For casino operations, the Company’s
revenues are measured by the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for funds deposited
by customers before gaming play occurs and for chips in the customers’ possession, if any. Cash discounts, other cash incentives
related to casino play and commissions rebated through junkets or tour guides, if any, to customers are recorded as a reduction
to casino revenue. Consequently, the Company’s casino revenues are reduced by discounts and commissions.
The Company does not accrue a jackpot liability
for its slot machine base and progressive jackpots because it can avoid payment of such amounts. Regulations do not prohibit removal
of gaming machines from the gaming floor without payment of such jackpots.
Promotional allowances represent goods
and services, which would be accounted for as revenue if sold, that a casino gives to customers as an inducement to gamble at that
establishment. Such goods and services include food and beverages. The Company includes the retail value of promotional allowances
in gross revenues and deducts it from gross revenues to reach net revenues on the face of the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income.
Gaming Products Sales
The Company recognizes revenue from the
sale of its gaming products to end users upon shipment against customer contracts or purchase orders.
The Company also recognizes revenue from
the sale of its products to end users on bill-and-hold arrangements when all of the following have been satisfied:
|
·
|
The risk of ownership must be passed to the buyer;
|
|
·
|
The customer must have a fixed commitment to purchase the goods;
|
|
·
|
The buyer, not the Company, must request that the transaction be on
bill and hold basis;
|
|
·
|
There must be a fixed schedule for the delivery of goods;
|
|
·
|
The Company must not have specific performance obligations such that
the earning process is not complete;
|
|
·
|
The ordered goods must be segregated from the Company’s inventory
and not subject to being used to fill other orders, and;
|
|
·
|
The product must be complete and ready for shipment.
|
There were no sales related to bill-and-hold
arrangements for both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Stock-Based Compensation
Under the fair value recognition provisions
of ASC 718,
Compensation-Stock Compensation
, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expenses for all service-based
awards to employees and non-employee directors with graded vesting schedules on the straight-line basis over the requisite service
period for the entire award. Estimates are revised if subsequent information indicates that forfeitures will differ from previous
estimates, and the cumulative effect on compensation cost of a change in the estimated forfeitures is recognized in the period
of the change. For non-employee awards, the Company remeasures compensation cost each period until the service condition is complete
and recognizes compensation cost on the straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Option valuation models require
the input of highly subjective assumptions, and changes in the assumptions used can materially affect the fair value estimates.
Judgment is required in estimating stock price volatility, forfeiture rates, expected dividends, and expected terms that options
remain outstanding. For restricted stock awards with performance conditions, the Company evaluates if performance conditions are
probable in each reporting period. The compensation expense of restricted awards is recognized ratably over the implicit service
period if achieving performance conditions is probable. Cumulative catch-up adjustments are required in the event of changes in
assessment of probability. See Note 12 for additional information relating to stock-based compensation assumptions. Stock-based
compensation expense totaled approximately $198,000 and $287,000 and $445,000 and $552,000 for the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Product Development
Product development expenses are charged
to expense as incurred. Employee related costs associated with product development are included in product development expenses.
Product development expenses were approximately $35,000 and $86,000 and $155,000 and $186,000 for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease was primarily a result of reduced product development activities
for the gaming products division during the relocation of the manufacturing facilities from Australia to Hong Kong during the three-month
period ended June 30, 2013.
Leases
Leases are classified at the inception
date as either a capital lease or an operating lease. A lease is a capital lease if any of the following conditions exists:
|
·
|
Ownership is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term;
|
|
·
|
There is a bargain purchase option;
|
|
·
|
The lease term is at least 75% of the property’s estimated remaining
economic life; or
|
|
·
|
The present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of
the lease term is 90% or more of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at the inception date.
|
A capital lease is accounted for as if
there was an acquisition of an asset and an incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. All other leases are accounted
for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed as incurred. The Company had no capital leases as of June 30, 2013.
Income
Taxes
The Company is subject to income taxes
in the United States (including federal and state) and several foreign jurisdictions in which it operates. Deferred income tax
balances reflect the effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis
and are stated at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. ASC 740,
Income
Taxes,
requires that deferred tax assets be evaluated for future realization and reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent
the Company believes a portion will not be realized. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future
realization of its deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings experience and expectations of future taxable
income by taxing jurisdiction, the carry-forward periods available to the Company for tax reporting purposes, and other relevant
factors.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax
positions in accordance with ASC 740, which contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions.
The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it
is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes,
if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate
settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require
periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if
any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the statements of comprehensive income.
On December 31, 2010, the Company
effected a Quasi-Reorganization. As of that date, the Company’s deferred taxes were reported in conformity with applicable
income tax accounting standards described above, net of applicable valuation allowances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities were
recognized for differences between the assigned values and the tax basis of the recognized assets and liabilities with corresponding
valuation allowances as appropriate. In accordance with the Quasi-Reorganization requirements, pre-existing tax benefits realized
subsequent to the Quasi-Reorganization are recorded directly in equity.
(Loss)/Earnings Per Share
Basic (loss)/earnings per share are computed
by dividing the reported net (loss)/earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
shares issuable from stock options and restricted shares during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes
the impact of stock options and restricted shares that are anti-dilutive. There is no difference in diluted loss per share from
basic loss per share as the assumed exercise of common stock equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect due to losses.
Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions
The functional currency of the Company’s
international subsidiaries, except for its operations in Cambodia whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar, is generally the
local currency. For these subsidiaries, the Company translates the assets and liabilities at exchange rates in effect at the balance
sheet date and income and expense accounts at average exchange rates during the year. Resulting currency translation adjustments
are recorded directly to accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from
transactions in non-functional currencies are recorded in the statements of comprehensive income.
Below is a summary of closing exchange
rates as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and average exchange rates for the three-month and six-month periods ended June
30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined under ASC 820,
Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures
, as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability
(an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard establishes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of input,
of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
|
·
|
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange
markets involving identical assets.
|
|
·
|
Level 2 — Input, other than quoted
prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically
obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
|
|
·
|
Level 3 — Unobservable input, where
there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. This input reflects the reporting entity’s own assumptions
of the data that participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available under the circumstances.
|
As of June 30, 2013, the fair values
of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying values due to the
short maturity of these items.
Guarantees
The Company recognizes a guarantee at its
inception which is the greater of (i) the fair value of the guarantee and (ii) the contingent liability amount. The fair value
of a guarantee is determined by using expected present value measurement techniques. The initial liability recognized is amortized
over the guarantee period.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02,
Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
. The amendments do not change the current
requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an
entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition,
an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement when net income is presented or in the notes, significant
amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount
reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For public
entities, the amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012.
The Company currently conducts business
in two operating segments: (i) gaming operations, which includes electronic gaming machine (EGM) participation and casino
operations; and (ii) gaming products, which consist of the design, manufacture and distribution of gaming chips and plaques.
Previously, the Company was also engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of other, non-gaming plastic products, primarily
for the automotive industry. These operations were sold on March 28, 2013 and the related historical revenues and expenses have
been reclassified as discontinued operations. The accounting policies of these segments are consistent with the Company’s
policies for the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 12.
|
Stock-Based Compensation
|
Options
The Company effected a 1-for-4 reverse
stock split of its common shares as of June 12, 2012. All historical share amounts and share price information presented in this
Note 12 have been proportionally adjusted to reflect the impact of this reverse stock split.
At the annual shareholders meeting held
on September 8, 2008, a new stock option plan, the “2008 Stock Incentive Plan” (the “2008 Plan”), was voted
on and became effective on January 1, 2009, which replaced two previous plans, the Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan
and the Amended and Restated 1999 Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plans”), thereby terminating
both of the Stock Option Plans on December 31, 2008.
The 2008 Plan allows for incentive awards
to eligible recipients consisting of:
·
|
Options to purchase shares of common stock that qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code;
|
·
|
Non-statutory stock options that do not qualify as incentive options;
|
·
|
Restricted stock awards; and
|
·
|
Performance stock awards which are subject to future achievement of performance criteria or free of any performance or vesting.
|
The maximum number of shares reserved for
issuance under the 2008 Plan was originally 1,250,000 shares, and in July 2010 the Company’s shareholders approved an increase
in the number of shares reserved for issuance to 2,500,000 shares. At the annual shareholders meeting held on July 13, 2012, the
Company’s shareholders approved a further increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance to 3,750,000 shares. The
exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of grant, unless the
participant owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary
corporation of the Company, in which case the exercise price shall then be 110% of the fair market value. The outstanding stock
options generally vest from six-months and one-day to over three years and have ten-year contractual terms.
During the six-month period ended June
30, 2013, stock options for the purchase of 360,000 shares of common stock were granted with a weighted average exercise price
of $1.93 and weighted average fair value of $1.18 (2012: $0.76) per share and will vest from six-month and one day to three-year
periods. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, 50,000 shares of restricted stock awards with a fair value of $1.97 per
share were issued. The shares of restricted stock shall vest, subject to and upon the recipient’s achievement of key operational
and financial performance milestones. For restricted stock awards with performance conditions, the Company evaluates if performance
conditions are probable in each reporting period. The compensation expense of restricted awards is recognized ratably over the
implicit service period if achieving performance conditions is probable. Cumulative catch-up adjustments are required in the event
of any changes in the assessment of probabilities.
During the six-month period ended June
30, 2013 there was no exercise of outstanding stock options.
Prior to January 1, 2009, the Company had
two stock options plans, the Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan and the Amended and Restated 1999 Directors’ Stock
Option Plan (the “Previous Stock Option Plans”), through which 3,750,000 shares and 75,000 shares were authorized,
respectively. Both Previous Stock Option Plans expired on December 31, 2008; however, options granted under the Previous Stock
Option Plans that were outstanding as of the date of termination remain outstanding and subject to termination according to their
terms.
As of June 30, 2013, stock options for
the purchase of 936,864 and 22,500 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding in relation to the Amended and Restated
1999 Stock Option Plan and the Amended and Restated 1999 Director’s Stock Option Plan.
As of June 30, 2013, there were no outstanding
non-plan options to purchase common stock. All previously granted non-plan options had expired by December 31, 2012. The non-plan
options were issued to certain employees and non-employees of EGT Entertainment Holding as approved by the Company’s stockholders
in September 2007 pursuant to the initial closing of the transactions under the Securities Purchase and Product Participation Agreement
dated June 12, 2007 between the Company and EGT Entertainment Holding.
As of June 30, 2013, stock options for
the purchase of 2,357,374 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 2008 Plan.
As of June 30, 2013, 2,619,239 stock options
were exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $2.19, a weighted average fair value of $0.83 and an aggregate intrinsic
value of approximately $2.0 million. The total fair value of shares vested during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 was
approximately $543,000. The total compensation cost related to unvested shares as of June 30, 2013 was approximately $524,000.
The amount is expected to be recognized over 1.93 years.

Recognition and Measurement
The fair value of each stock-based award
to employees and non-employee directors is estimated on the measurement date which generally is the grant date while awards to
non-employees are measured at the earlier of the performance commitment date or the service completion date using the Black-Scholes-Merton
option-pricing model. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, and changes in assumptions used
can materially affect the fair value estimates. The Company estimates the expected life of the award by taking into consideration
the vesting period, contractual term, historical exercise data, expected volatility, blackout periods and other relevant factors.
Volatility is estimated by evaluating the Company’s historical volatility data. The risk-free interest rate on the measurement
date is based on U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates for a period approximating the expected life of the award. The Company historically
has not paid dividends and it does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, the expected dividend
rate is zero.

For stock-based compensation accrued to
employees and non-employee directors, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for all service-based awards with
graded vesting schedules on the straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Initial accruals of
compensation expense are based on the estimated number of shares for which requisite service is expected to be rendered. Estimates
are revised if subsequent information indicates that forfeitures will differ from previous estimates, and the cumulative effect
on compensation cost of a change in the estimated forfeitures is recognized in the period of the change.
For non-employee awards, the Company remeasures
compensation cost each period until the service condition is complete and recognizes compensation cost on the straight-line basis
over the requisite service period.
The Company estimates forfeitures and recognizes
compensation cost only for those awards expected to vest assuming all awards would vest and reverses recognized compensation cost
for forfeited awards when the awards are actually forfeited.
For awards with service conditions and
graded vesting that were granted prior to the adoption of ASC 718, the Company estimates the requisite service period and the number
of shares expected to vest, and recognizes compensation expense for each tranche on the straight-line basis over the estimated
requisite service period.

Related Party Transactions
|
Effective January 1, 2010, the Company
began sub-leasing office space from Melco Services Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Melco International Development Limited,
which is also the parent of the Company’s principal shareholder, EGT Entertainment Holding. This sub-lease expired at the
end of March 2013 and, subsequently, the Company moved its principal executive office to the premises of the new Hong Kong Dolphin
facilities. The relocation of the Company’s principal executive office serves to minimize costs and improve oversight of
its Dolphin operations.
On April 21, 2008, the Company entered
into a Trade Credit Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with Elixir International Limited (“Elixir
International”), a company which used to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of EGT Entertainment Holding, the Company’s principal
shareholder. Upon entering into the Agreement, the Company issued the first note pursuant to the terms of the Facility Agreement
in the principal amount of $15.0 million (the “Initial Advance”). The Initial Advance extinguished a then trade
payable of an equivalent amount to Elixir International with respect to EGMs previously acquired.
As a result of the disposal of Elixir International
by EGT Entertainment Holding, Elixir International assigned and novated all its rights and obligations under the Facility Agreement
and the related promissory note (as amended) to EGT Entertainment Holding in April 2010.
Subsequent to its origination, the Facility
Agreement was amended three times, mostly recently on May 25, 2010 on which date the Company issued a new note (the “Third
Amended Note) to replace the previous terms. Under the terms of the Third Amended Note, the Company paid total principal
and interest of approximately $6.2 million and $143,000, respectively in equal monthly installments to EGT Entertainment Holding
for the year ended December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the notes payable to EGT Entertainment Holding were fully settled.

The Company recorded income tax expense
of approximately $8,000 and $35,000 and $49,000 and $89,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013
and 2012, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rates were (2.0)% and 7.6% and (7.3)% and 6.4% for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company’s EGT Cambodia and Dreamworld Casino (Pailin)
operations are tax exempt, paying a fixed monthly tax rather than a tax on income. The change in effective tax rate was mainly
due to an increase in consolidated pre-tax loss.
The fixed obligation tax arrangement is
subject to annual renewal and negotiation. Earlier this year, the Company renewed the fixed obligation tax arrangement for both
EGT Cambodia and Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) for 2013.
The Company has been subjected to income
tax examinations by tax authorities in jurisdictions in which it operates. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, the
United States Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) conducted an audit of the Company’s 2008 and 2009 tax returns
in the United States. On January 23, 2013, the IRS formally notified the Company that it had completed the review of the examination
of the above-mentioned years with no changes to the Company’s tax position.
The Company’s 2008 to 2012 Australian
income tax returns could be subject to examination by the Australian Taxation Office. The Company’s 2009 to 2012 Cambodian
income tax returns could be subject to examination by the General Department of Taxation. The Company’s 2009 to 2012 Philippines
income tax returns could be subject to examination by the Philippines Bureau of Internal Revenue.

Discontinued Operations
|
From July 2006 until March 2013, the Company
conducted the development, manufacture and sale of gaming chips and plaques from its subsidiary, Dolphin Products Pty Limited (“Dolphin
Australia”) in Melbourne, Australia. It also conducted the development, manufacture and sale of non-gaming plastic products
for a number of industries, including the automotive industry, from the Melbourne facility.
On February 22, 2013, the Company entered
into a Share Sale Agreement with the then general manager of the Company’s Dolphin Australia operations, pursuant to which
it agreed to sell him the portion of its business dedicated to the non-gaming plastic products, mainly automotive parts. The sale
was completed on March 28, 2013. In connection with the sale of non-gaming operations, the Company relocated its gaming products
operations, which included gaming chips and plaques, from Melbourne, Australia to Hong Kong. Commercial production in the new facility
commenced in May 2013.
Prior to the completion of the sale, the
Company transferred out of Dolphin Australia to Elixir Gaming Technologies (Hong Kong) Limited and a newly formed Dolphin Products
Limited company in Hong Kong, both of which are subsidiaries wholly-owned by the Company, all working capital on hand and all assets
and operations relating to the Company’s gaming chips and plaques operations, including all trademarks, patent rights and
other intellectual property.
The purchase price received pursuant to
the Share Sale Agreement was AUD350,000. The Company also agreed to assume Dolphin Australia’s liabilities for (i) severance
under Australian labor laws for those employees to be terminated by Dolphin Australia as part of the transactions, approximately
$750,000, (ii) the lease for the Melbourne facility through the end of its present term expiring in January 2014, net of sub-lease
income, approximately $350,000, and (iii) all Dolphin Australia payables, net of receivables, relating to both gaming and non-gaming
operations up to March 28, 2013.
The buyer owed the Company
$1.1 million for the settlement of working capital related to the sale of the non-gaming Dolphin assets of which
approximately $900,000 had been settled as of June 30, 2013.
As part of the sale transaction, the Company
also agreed to grant Dolphin Australia a non-transferable, substantially royalty-free license to utilize certain trademarks and
patent rights in connection with Dolphin Australia’s manufacture and sale of plastic products for the non-gaming industries.

Legal Matters
Prime Mover/Strata Litigation
On March 26, 2010, a complaint (as
subsequently amended on May 28, 2010) (the “Complaint”) was filed by certain of the Company’s shareholders
including Prime Mover Capital Partners L.P., Strata Fund L.P., Strata Fund Q.P. L.P., and Strata Offshore Fund, Ltd (collectively,
the “Plaintiffs”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against certain defendants
including the Company and certain other of our current and former directors and officers.
The Complaint alleges claims related to
disclosures concerning our electronic gaming machine participation business (the “Slot Business”), including but not
limited to the alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5
promulgated thereunder, violations of Nevada Revised Statutes Sections 90.580(e) and 90.660(3), breach of fiduciary duty,
and negligent misrepresentations. The Plaintiffs allege that the Company and certain other defendants made false and misleading
statements about the Slot Business in filings with the SEC, press releases, and other industry and investor conferences and meetings
during the period from June 13, 2007 to August 13, 2008 and that the Plaintiffs then purchased the securities at the
inflated prices and later suffered economic losses when the price of our securities decreased.
On June 22, 2011, the court dismissed
all of the Plaintiffs’ claims except for two breach-of-contract counts against the Company. All claims against the current
and former officers and directors were dismissed. On December 20, 2011 the Plaintiffs filed a second amended Complaint (the
“Second Amended Complaint”) for re-pleading all the securities claims against the Company and all the relevant current
and/or former officers and directors.
On September 27, 2012, the District Court dismissed Plaintiffs’
Second Amended Complaint in its entirety. On September 28, 2012, the clerk entered a judgment against the Plaintiffs. Accordingly,
all claims against the Company and the current and former officers and directors, including the Plaintiffs’ breach of contract
claims, were dismissed.
On October 25, 2012, the Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal
seeking review by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals of the District Court’s order and judgment dismissing the Second Amended
Complaint (the “Appeal”). The parties have filed their respective briefs (the Plaintiffs did not file a reply brief,
however) and requested oral argument, but the Second Circuit has not scheduled oral argument or decided whether to grant the parties’
requests for oral argument. The Second Circuit has the ability to affirm or reverse the District Court’s order and judgment
in whole or in part, and can decide to reinstate some or all of the claims from Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Complaint.
The Plaintiffs seek unspecified
damages, as well as interest, costs and attorneys’ fees. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously against the
Plaintiffs’ claims. As the litigation is at a preliminary stage, it is not possible to predict the likely outcome of
the case or the probable loss, if any, or the continuation of insurance coverage and, accordingly, no accrual has been made
for any possible losses in connection with this matter.

For the three-month and six-month periods ended June
30, 2013, there were no differences in diluted loss per share from basic loss per share as the assumed exercise of common stock
equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect due to losses.

Outstanding stock options for 2,166,738
and 952,548 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three-month periods

and 1,856,921 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Item 2. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
The following discussion and analysis should
be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto contained elsewhere in
this report. The information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is not a complete description of our business
or the risks associated with an investment in our common stock. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures
made by us in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2013 and subsequent reports
on Form 8-K, which discuss our business in greater detail.
In this report we make, and from time to
time we otherwise make, written and oral statements regarding our business and prospects, such as projections of future performance,
statements of management’s plans and objectives, forecasts of market trends, and other matters that are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Statements containing the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,”
“is anticipated,” “estimates,” “projects,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
“intends,” “target,” “goal,” “plans,” “objective,” “should”
or similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which may appear in documents, reports, filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, news releases, written or oral presentations made by officers or other representatives made by us to analysts,
stockholders, investors, news organizations and others, and discussions with management and other of our representatives. For such
statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.
Our future results, including results related
to forward-looking statements, involve a number of risks and uncertainties. No assurance can be given that the results reflected
in any forward-looking statements will be achieved. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement
is made. Our forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions that are sometimes based upon estimates, data, communications
and other information from suppliers, government agencies and other sources that may be subject to revision. Except as required
by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or keep current either (i) any forward-looking statement to reflect events
or circumstances arising after the date of such statement, or (ii) the important factors that could cause our future results
to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or which are reflected from time
to time in any forward-looking statement.
There are several important factors that
could cause our future results to differ materially from historical results or trends, results anticipated or planned by us, or
results that are reflected from time to time in any forward-looking statement. Some of these important factors, but not necessarily
all important factors, are included in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
and in the section “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012
filed with the SEC on March 28, 2013.
We own or have rights to certain trademarks
that we used in connection with our business or products, including, but not limited to, Dolphin™. Other than this trademark,
this report also makes reference to trademarks and trade names of other companies.
On June 12, 2012, we effected a 1-for-4
reverse stock split of our common stock and corresponding decrease in the number of authorized shares of common stock. All historical
share amounts and share information presented in the financial statements and notes have been proportionally adjusted to reflect
the impact of this reverse stock split, including but not limited to basic and diluted weighted-average shares issued and outstanding.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods' financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation.
On March 28, 2013, we sold a portion of
our subsidiary, Dolphin Products Pty Limited, business dedicated to the manufacture and sale of non-gaming plastic products, mainly
automotive parts. Revenues of these non-gaming products and our gaming chips and plaques were previously consolidated under the
reporting segment “Other Products.” After the sale, we renamed “Other Products” as “Gaming Products”
and this segment now comprises exclusively our gaming chips and plaques operations. All related historical revenues and expenses
from the sold non-gaming assets have been reclassified as discontinued operations.
Overview
We are a gaming company focused on capitalizing
on the growth opportunities in emerging gaming markets of Asia. We generate revenue in two principal ways: gaming operations and
gaming product sales. Our gaming operations comprise slot operations in Cambodia and the Philippines and the development and operation
of regional style casinos and gaming venues under our Dreamworld brand in Indo-China. Our gaming products presently comprise the
manufacture and sale of gaming chips and plaques under our Dolphin brand.
During the six-month period ended June
30, 2013, we expanded gaming operations with the opening of a new property, Dreamworld Club (Poipet). In addition, we completed
plans to restructure our legacy businesses with the divestiture of a low-margin, non-gaming business and relocation and repositioning
of the gaming products division.
Our consolidated revenue for the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $5.8 million and $12.5 million, of which revenue from the gaming operations
and gaming products segments comprised 97% and 3% and 87% and 13%, respectively, of consolidated revenue. This compares to consolidated
revenue of approximately $6.2 million and $11.7 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, of which
revenue from the gaming operations and gaming products segments comprised 84% and 16% and 87% and 13%, respectively, of consolidated
revenue.
We have developed our business model with the goal of creating growth potential and the ability to generate quality recurring
cash flow. We believe that this model combined with our established presence and strong relationships in our markets provide us
a solid foundation from which to capitalize on the growth opportunities in our target markets in Asia. We seek to improve revenue
by making our gaming properties quality leaders in their markets by providing our customers with their favorite games, superior
customer service and attractive and comfortable surroundings. We seek to increase and expand our diversified revenue streams through
our gaming products division. We seek to improve margins by focusing on operational efficiency and cost control. Our long-term
strategy includes responsible investment in improving and maintaining our existing operations and selectively securing new projects
that will serve to enhance our presence and build deeper brand equity in the Dreamworld name in our markets. We intend to implement
these strategies in ways that we believe will benefit our shareholders.
Slot Operations
Our slot operations involve the leasing
of electronic gaming machines (“EGMs”) on a revenue sharing basis to gaming establishments. We utilize our operational
experience, established market presence and key relationships to identify and develop new gaming venues, acquire EGMs, casino management
systems and other gaming peripherals directly from manufacturers, dealers and suppliers and install the same in our contracted
venues. In addition, we assist the venue owners in brand-building and marketing promotions.
For certain of our slot contracts, such
as with NagaWorld Resorts, Sokha Hotels and Resorts (“Sokha”) and Dreamworld Club (Poipet) in Cambodia, we also function
as a manager of the EGM operations. In these venues, we either jointly manage with the relevant casino owner, as is the case with
NagaWorld Resorts and Sokha, or exclusively manage, as is the case with Dreamworld Club (Poipet), the slot floor operations and
design marketing programs and slot promotions for our designated gaming spaces. We also hire, train and manage the floor staff
and set high expectations on the level of customer service.
As of June 30, 2013, our slot operations
were located in two countries, Cambodia and the Philippines, and totaled 1,632 EGM seats in operation in a total of six venues.
In Cambodia, we had a total of 1,062 EGM seats in operation in three venues. In the Philippines, we had a total of 570 EGM seats
in operation in three venues. Due to our ongoing efforts to improve the returns for slot operations, we seek to selectively add
new venues and refine existing operations to focus on those venues with the greatest potential.
In Cambodia, our slot operations largely
focus on operating a substantial portion of the gaming machine area in prime casino floor locations at NagaWorld, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Hong Kong listed NagaCorp Ltd. (HKSE: 3918). NagaWorld is a premier luxury destination gaming resort and the only
licensed full service casino in a designated area around the capital city of Phnom Penh. In December 2008, we established a relationship
with NagaCorp to place EGMs on a revenue sharing or participation basis at NagaWorld and jointly operate those EGMs with them.
Due to our successful performance, we subsequently amended our contract and expanded our relationship with NagaWorld and increased
our EGM seats under contract in NagaWorld to 670. Our slot operations in NagaWorld are a primary contributor to our slot revenue
and cash flow.
Our current operations in NagaWorld are
governed under the Machines Operation and Participation Consolidation Agreement dated December 31, 2009, which was subsequently
amended on May 25, 2010. Under the terms of these agreements, we and NagaWorld control the operation of a total of 670 of our EGMs,
including floor staff and respective audit rights. We and NagaWorld split the win per unit per day from all the 670 EGMs and certain
operating costs related to marketing and floor staff on a respective basis of 25%/75%. Win per unit per day from all the 670 EGMs
are settled and our share is distributed daily to us. The contract term is six years commencing from March 1, 2010.
Our slot operations in Cambodia also include
Thansur Bokor Highland Resort, a casino resort developed by leading Cambodian hotelier, Sokha, in a tourist area of the Kampot
Province. The resort officially opened in May 2012, however, portions of the initial phase of the property including the entertainment
complex were not completed until early 2013. To-date, we have placed approximately 200 EGMs in this venue. Under the terms of the
agreement, we have the ability to place up to 250 EGM seats and jointly manage these slot operations in the resort. We and Sokha
split the gross win and certain operating expenses for the placed EGMs on a respective basis of 27/73%. The contract duration is
five years commencing from May 2012. This project expanded our gaming operations in the Indo-China region with a prominent partner
with multiple hotel and resort properties in Cambodia.
Our most recent slot operations project
in Cambodia is Dreamworld Club (Poipet). Unlike our other slot operations, we solely developed and operate this property. Dreamworld
Club (Poipet) is a standalone slot hall with approximately 300 EGM seats, which we developed as an extension of the existing casino
owned by a local company. It is prominently located in the established gaming market of Poipet in the Banteay Meanchey Province
of Northwestern Cambodia near the Thailand border. Dreamworld Club (Poipet) soft opened on March 28, 2013 and the official grand
opening was held on May 9, 2013.
Dreamworld Club (Poipet) operates under
a machine operation and participation agreement with a local partner that owns and operates an existing casino in Poipet. Under
the terms of the agreement, the local partner allocated part of its land with an area of approximately 16,000 square feet to us
to develop and construct, at our own design, budget and cost, the slot venue. We and the local partner split the win per unit per
day from all the EGMs placed by us at Dreamworld Club (Poipet) and certain operating costs related to marketing and floor staff
on a respective basis of 40%/60%. The initial project term is five years beginning from the commercial launch of the slot hall
in 2013 with an option to renew for an additional five years subject to the achievement of certain financial milestones during
the initial five-year period.
Total capital expenditures for Dreamworld
Club (Poipet), which principally included the development and construction of the facility and gaming equipment, were approximately
$7.5 million, including approximately $5.0 million to source top-of-the-line EGMs. We are responsible for all capital expenditures
for Dreamworld Club (Poipet) and those expenditures have been funded through our internal cash resources.
In the Philippines, our slot operations
comprise three venues in the greater Manila area. For these three venues, our share of the net win per unit per day ranges from
15% to 35%. The typical initial term for these contracts is five years with renewal options. The strong Philippine economy, the
interest of the government to expand gaming in the country and close geographic proximity to major markets in Asia, among other
reasons, has led to increased development of major casinos in the market. While this results in increasing competition for our
venues in this market, we believe we have a solid customer base as our venues there tend to attract locals in their respective
areas. We remain focused on enhancing returns on these assets through efforts to implement, with the support of our venue owner
partners, targeted marketing programs to maintain and expand our local customer base and to strategically manage the machine mix
in our contracted venues. Also, we proactively solicit feedback from our customers on such matters as gaming offerings, customer
service, entertainment and atmosphere and, with the support of our venue owner partners, seek to make improvements where possible
to address customer preferences and strengthen their loyalty.
In addition, we continue to selectively
pursue additional slot operations projects in our target markets. Total company-wide EGM placements can fluctuate due to our strategic
efforts to optimize average daily net wins. In the event that the EGM performance at a contracted venue does not meet our original
expectations, and to the extent permitted under the terms of the relevant contracts, we may discuss with the venue owner withdrawing
all or a portion of our EGMs from such venue for future redeployment in new or existing venues with better performance prospects.
Casino Operations
Our casino operations presently comprise
one property, Dreamworld Casino (Pailin), which is located in the Pailin Province of Northwestern Cambodia next to the Thailand
border. The casino opened in May 2012 and presently houses 26 table games and 58 EGM seats.
In an effort to improve earnings performance,
we intend to refocus Dreamworld Casino (Pailin)’s operations in an effort to better capitalize on existing market conditions
and allow for a substantial reduction in operating expenses.
The new strategy entails a shift in the
primary focus to the VIP market and a decrease in emphasis on high-cost, mass market tour groups. This is intended to significantly
reduce operating costs while increasing the dollar level of play. With this shift in focus, we intend to reduce the total number
of tables in operation from 26 to approximately 16 and expand and improve our junket program. We launched our new junket operations
during the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 and presently have five promoters in the program.
In place of the removed tables, we plan
to add semi-live electronic gaming tables with approximately 30 seats, which are intended to appeal to individual players visiting
the market. With our strong relationships with gaming suppliers, we intend to obtain these machines on a revenue sharing basis
resulting in minimal capital investment to us. We expect these changes will be complete within the next several months.
Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) is constructed
on land leased from a local land owner and in consideration the land owner is entitled to receive a fair monthly rental fee and
20% of the profit before depreciation (the total gross revenue of the casino less any payouts paid to customers, operating expenses,
and gaming and non-gaming taxes on the casino’s revenue). The initial lease term is 20 years, commencing in September 2011
and is subject to renewal by the parties in writing.
The initial phase of Dreamworld Casino
(Pailin) measures approximately 16,000 square feet. The local partner also owns property adjacent to Dreamworld Casino (Pailin)
measuring nearly 250,000 square feet. We have an option to lease this adjacent property at a future date and use it to develop
additional phases of the Dreamworld Casino (Pailin). Such additional phases would be intended to include expanded casino operations
and complementary facilities such as hotel rooms, a spa and other entertainment amenities.
Total capital expenditures for the initial
phase of Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) were approximately $2.5 million, which was paid solely by us from our internal cash resources.
In addition to Dreamworld Casino (Pailin),
we have another casino development project in the pipeline, Dreamworld Casino (Kampot). In partnership with a local land owner,
we intend to develop a small casino in the Kampot Province of Southwestern Cambodia near the Vietnam border on land owned by the
local partner. Depending on demand and the availability of capital, there is the potential to add, at a future date, additional casino
floor space and equipment as well as complementary facilities such as hotel rooms, a spa and other entertainment amenities.
The local partner will lease to us the
land for a period of 25 years for an annual fee of $1. We will provide funding for all development, construction and pre-opening
costs for the Dreamworld Casino (Kampot) and all necessary gaming equipment. We and the local partner will split Dreamworld Casino
(Kampot)’s net revenue (the total gross revenue of the casino less any payouts paid to customers, operating expenses, and
gaming and non-gaming taxes on the casino’s revenue) on a respective basis of 60%/40%. Total capital expenditures for the
initial phase of Dreamworld Casino (Kampot) are projected to be approximately $1.2 million as the EGMs will be sourced from existing
inventory.
The development timeline for Dreamworld
Casino (Kampot) is presently under review. We may defer construction of this project until the market has demonstrated a
more developed player base and previously planned infrastructure improvements in the area are in place.
We also own a parcel of land with total
area of approximately seven acres in the Takeo Province of Cambodia near the Vietnam border and were granted in-principle approval
to build and open a casino-hotel in the Takeo Province by the Cambodian government. At the present time, we do not expect to commit
significant capital to the project on this land in order to divert our available capital to the development of projects, which
we believe will offer greater short and medium-term return potential. Our future development plans for this land will be dependent
on our available capital and local market conditions at that time.
We continue to selectively pursue additional
casino development projects that will enable us to expand our market presence and increase brand equity in our Dreamworld name
in the Indo-China region. We seek markets that offer an established player base and projects that would provide meaningful scale
to our operations. While there is no guarantee we will be successful in signing new projects, we aim to secure projects that will
add meaningful scale to our gaming operations and provide the opportunity for higher net returns.
Gaming Products
During the six-month period ended June
30, 2013, we successfully completed our plans to restructure our legacy operations. On March 28, 2013, we completed the sale of
the non-gaming manufacturing portion of the operations in a management-led buyout for total consideration of AUD350,000. In connection
with the sale, in March 2013, we commenced the relocation of our manufacturing facilities for the gaming products portion of the
business, namely gaming chips and plaques, to Hong Kong from Australia. Commercial operation of the new Hong Kong facility, which
is also the new home of our corporate headquarters, began in May 2013.
These actions not only enabled us to exit
a non-core, low-margin business but also provide the opportunity to enhance the profitability of our gaming products division through
lower cost labor, elimination of redundant support functions, further automation and improved R&D capabilities, as well as
to better penetrate and service the growing Asian gaming markets. In addition, it improves our ability to expand our product mix
to include other gaming products, which could add incremental revenue streams and further enhance our competitive positioning.
We recorded one-time cash costs associated
with the sale and relocation, which included severance and relocation charges, of approximately $1.3 million in the three-month
period ended March 31, 2013. All incurred costs associated with the relocation have been funded from our available working capital.
With a quality product line, streamlined
operating structure, solid existing customer base and high-security production facilities in close proximity to the growing Asian
gaming markets, we believe that we have all the right and necessary elements to best serve our target markets and are poised to
benefit from the major casino development anticipated over the next several years in Asia. While we anticipate continued uneven
order flow on a quarter to quarter basis, our efforts are expected to result in improved recurring revenue and earnings growth
potential for these operations.
Results of Operations for the Three-Month and Six-Month Periods
Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
The following is a schedule summarizing
operating results on a consolidated basis and separately by each of our two operating segments, gaming operations and gaming products,
for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
On February 22, 2013, we entered into a
share sale agreement pursuant to which we agreed to sell the portion of our subsidiary, Dolphin Products Pty Limited (“Dolphin
Australia”), business dedicated to the manufacture and sale of non-gaming plastic products, mainly automotive parts. The
sale closed on March 28, 2013. All historical revenues and expenses associated with our non-gaming plastic products operations
for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 have been reclassified as discontinued operations.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is net (loss)/income from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash operating income and expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because our management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and as a basis for valuation, of gaming companies. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of its segments and to compare the operating performance of its operations with those of its competitors. We also present Adjusted EBITDA because it is used by some investors as a way to measure a company’s ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Gaming companies have historically reported EBITDA as a supplement to financial measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income/(loss), Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation or interest expense and, therefore, does not reflect current or future capital expenditures or the cost of capital. We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as only one of several comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. Such GAAP measurements include operating income, net income, cash flows from operations and cash flow data. We have significant uses of cash flows, including capital expenditures, interest payments, debt principal repayments, taxes and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

A reconciliation of EBITDA from continuing operations, as adjusted,
to the net (loss)/income from continuing operations is provided below.

Total revenue decreased approximately $329,000
to $5.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $6.2 million in the same period of
the prior year. The decrease was due to lower revenue from the gaming products division partially offset by higher revenue from
the gaming operations division. Revenue from gaming products decreased as a result of a shortened production period due to the
strategic relocation of the manufacturing facilities from Australia to Hong Kong, which commenced in March 2013 and was completed
in May 2013, and the initial set up of the new facility. Revenue from gaming operations increased primarily as a result of increased
revenue from Dreamworld Casino (Pailin), which opened in May 2012, and incremental revenue from Dreamworld Club (Poipet), which
officially opened in May 2013, partially offset by a decline in Philippines slot operations revenue.
Gross profit decreased
approximately $929,000 to $1.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $2.6
million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to: the gaming products division, which had
lower production volumes which lowered the utilization and cost absorption of the facilities and high non-recurring costs of
approximately $166,000, mainly as a result of the relocation and initial set up for the new manufacturing facilities in Hong
Kong; and lower slot operations revenue in the Philippines.
Operating loss from continuing operations
increased approximately $526,000 to a loss of $91,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to operating income
from continuing operations of approximately $435,000 in the same period of the prior year primarily due to the lower gross profit
explained above partially offset by lower operating expenses.
Net loss from continuing operations increased
approximately $814,000 to a loss of $385,000 compared to net income from continuing operations of approximately $429,000 in the
same period of the prior year primarily as a result of the operating loss explained above and foreign currency losses, which were
approximately $292,000 compared to gains of approximately $25,000 in the prior year period. Net loss increased approximately $770,000
to a loss of $286,000 compared to net income of approximately $484,000 in the same period of the prior year. The net loss for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2013 included approximately $99,000 in net income from discontinued operations compared to approximately
$55,000 in the prior year period.
Total revenue increased approximately $885,000
to $12.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $11.7 million in the same period of
the prior year due to revenue increases in both operating divisions. Revenue from gaming operations increased primarily as a result
of increased revenue from Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) partially offset by lower revenue from slot operations (described in greater
detail below). Revenue from gaming products increased as a result of increased orders from existing gaming chips and plaques customers.
Gross profit decreased approximately
$2.1 million to $3.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $5.3 million in the
same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily a result of: the gaming products division for the same reasons
stated above and higher labor costs in Australia prior to the relocation of the manufacturing facilities (described in
greater detail below); lower slot operations revenue from NagaWorld and the Philippines (described in greater detail below);
and a higher gross margin loss for the casino operations given Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) operated for the full six-month
period in 2013 compared to a less than two-month period for the same period in 2012.
Operating loss from continuing operations
increased approximately $1.7 million to a loss of $486,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to operating
income from continuing operations of approximately $1.2 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase in operating
loss from continuing operations was primarily a result of the lower gross profit explained above partially offset by a decrease
in operating expenses.
Net loss from continuing operations
increased approximately $2.0 million to a loss of $714,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to net
income from continuing operations of approximately $1.3 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase in
net loss from continuing operations was primarily a result of the operating loss explained above and foreign currency
losses of approximately $188,000 compared to gains of approximately $214,000 in the prior year period. Net loss
increased approximately $4.3 million to a loss of $2.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to net
income of approximately $1.5 million in the same period of the prior year. The net loss for the six-month period ended June
30, 2013 included a net loss from discontinued operations of approximately $2.1 million compared to net income from
discontinued operations of approximately $146,000 in the prior year period.

Average net win figures (“WUD”) exclude EGM seats in operation during venue soft launch opening periods, if applicable, and apply revenue recognized on a cash basis in the calculation of WUD for venues for which revenues are recognized on a cash basis. During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, one venue in Cambodia operated during a soft launch. Had these seats been included in the WUD calculations, WUD for the above-mentioned 2013 periods would have been $157 and $165 for Cambodia and $129 and $133 for consolidated WUD, respectively. During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, one venue in Cambodia operated during a soft launch and one venue in the Philippines recognized revenue on a cash basis. There was no material difference to average WUD figures for the above-mentioned 2012 periods had these seats been included in the WUD calculations.

Revenue from gaming operations during the
three-month period ended June 30, 2013 increased approximately $487,000 to $5.7 million compared to approximately $5.2 million
in the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily a result of incremental revenue from Dreamworld Casino (Pailin),
which opened in May 2012, and incremental revenue for Dreamworld Club (Poipet), which officially opened in May 2013. The increase
was partially offset by a decrease in revenue from the Philippines slot operations.
Gross profit from gaming operations
decreased approximately $377,000 to $2.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to
approximately $2.4 million in the same period of the prior year primarily due to lower revenue from the Philippines slot
operations and incremental operating expenses for Dreamworld Club (Poipet) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013.
Cost of gaming operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 included approximately $1.3 million of
depreciation on gaming equipment, $617,000 amortization of casino contracts, $63,000 amortization of other gaming related
intangibles and $1.7 million of other operating costs, which included casino operations expenses.
Revenue from gaming operations increased
approximately $805,000 to $11.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $10.2 million
in the same period of the prior year. The increase in revenue was primarily a result of incremental revenue from Dreamworld Casino
(Pailin) partially offset by lower slot operations revenue. The decrease in slot operations revenue was primarily due to: lower
average net win per machine from our operations in NagaWorld as a result of a weak performance in February 2013
due to an observed week-long official mourning period for the deceased former King of Cambodia at the beginning of the month and
the several-day strike by NagaWorld workers at the end of the month; and
lower Philippines slot operations revenue due to
the lower installed machine base, higher jackpot payouts and increasing competition.
Gross profit from gaming operations
decreased approximately $1.3 million to $3.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to
approximately $5.0 million in the same period of the prior year primarily due to lower revenue for the slot operations and a
higher gross margin loss for the casino operations given Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) operated for the full six-month period in
2013 compared to a less than two-month period for the same period in 2012. Cost of gaming operations for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2013 included approximately $2.4 million of depreciation on gaming equipment, $1.2 million of
amortization of casino contracts, $126,000 of amortization of other gaming related intangibles and $3.5 million of other
operating costs, which include casino operations expenses.
As of June 30, 2013, we had a total
of 2,019 EGM seats of which 329 were held in inventory and 1,690 were in operation. Of the 1,690 EGM seats in operation, 1,120
were in four venues in Cambodia (including Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) and Dreamworld Club (Poipet)) and 570 were in three venues
in the Philippines.

Due to our ongoing efforts to improve the
returns on our slot operations, we seek to refine the existing operating machine base to focus on those venues with the greatest
potential and selectively add new venues. In March 2013, we soft opened Dreamworld Club (Poipet) in Cambodia with 166 EGM seats.
This venue officially opened in May 2013 with approximately 300 EGM seats. In March 2012, we soft opened Thansur Bokor in Cambodia
with 87 EGM seats. This venue officially opened in May 2012 with approximately 200 EGM seats. During the period from May to July
2012, we terminated three contracts, one in Cambodia and two in the Philippines, with a combined total of 273 EGMs seats as these
venues were not performing up to our expectations.
Revenue from the Cambodia slot operations
for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 was $4.0 million, essentially unchanged with the same period in the prior year.
Average net win per machine decreased $46 to $169 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to $215 in the same period
of the prior year. The decline in average net win per machine was primarily due to the addition of EGMs in Dreamworld Club (Poipet),
which officially opened in May 2013 and Thansur Bokor, which officially opened in May 2012, in the WUD calculation as these venues
have relatively lower average net win per machine. Revenue from these operations decreased approximately $653,000 to $7.2 million
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $7.9 million in the same period of the prior year. Average
net win per machine decreased $54 to $172 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to $226 in the same period of the
prior year. The decline in average net win per machine was primarily due to the reasons stated above and lower average net win
per machine for our operations in NagaWorld during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 (as more fully described below).
Revenue from our slot operations in NagaWorld
for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 was $3.7 million, essentially unchanged with the same period in the prior year.
Average net win per machine for these operations decreased $2 to $256 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to
$258 in the same period of the prior year. Revenue from our slot operations in NagaWorld decreased approximately $783,000 to $6.8
million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $7.6 million for the same period of the prior year.
Average net win per machine for these operations decreased $22 to $237 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to
$259 in the same period of the prior year. The decline in revenue and average net win per machine for these operations for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2103 was primarily a result of reduced player traffic in February 2013 due to an observed, week-long
official mourning period for the deceased former King of Cambodia in the beginning of the month and a several-day strike by NagaWorld
workers at the end of the month. While normal fluctuation occurs, with prominent ground floor locations, quality product and customer
service, and proactive marketing, we believe we are well positioned to maintain strong overall performance from these operations.
We continue to seek means to improve our
slot operations performance in Thansur Bokor Highland Resort. This resort officially opened in May 2012, however, certain aspects
of the initial phase of the property, such as the entertainment complex, were not completed until early 2013. Due to our minimal
operating costs at the venue, our operations in Thansur Bokor have been a positive contributor to consolidated adjusted EBITDA
for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013.
We held the grand opening for Dreamworld
Club (Poipet) on May 9, 2013. These operations are in an early ramp-up stage and revenues have not yet normalized. In July 2013,
we made solid improvement in Dreamworld Club (Poipet)’s operating performance and these operations achieved positive EBITDA.
We continue to refine and expand our marketing programs and have begun building a meaningful and growing quality player base.
For the three-month period ended June 30,
2013, revenue from the slot operations in the Philippines decreased approximately $203,000 to $803,000 compared to $1.0 million
in the same period of the prior year, while average net win per machine for these operations improved $2 to $74 compared to $72
in the prior year period mainly due to the lower installed base with better performing machines. For the six-month period ended
June 30, 2013, revenue from these operations decreased approximately $330,000 to $1.7 million compared to approximately $2.1 million
in the same period of the prior year, while average net win per machine improved $7 to $80 compared to $73 in the same period of
the prior year for the same reasons as stated above.
We continue our efforts to improve overall
returns for our operations in the Philippines. These efforts include: implementing, with the support of our venue owner partners,
targeted marketing programs and proactive machine mix management. With increasing competition from the development of major integrated
casino resorts in Manila, we are focused on improving player loyalty through marketing programs and providing a wide range of preferred
gaming machines and superior services to the local customer bases.
Dreamworld Casino (Pailin), which opened
in May 2012, contributed approximately $907,000 to gaming operations revenue for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, down
from $1.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. The decline was due to decreased player traffic levels during
the quarter. Operating costs for Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) were approximately $1.2 million during the three-month period ended
June 30, 2013, down from $1.3 million in the prior sequential quarter. The decline was due to lower levels of quality player traffic
and cost reduction initiatives.
We are focused on improving the financial
performance of Dreamworld Casino (Pailin). After thorough analysis of the operating results and market trends, we have formulated
a new operating plan we believe will better capitalize on market conditions and substantially reduce operating expenses. The
new strategy entails a shift in primary focus to the VIP market and expanding and improving the junket program. We intend to reduce
the total number of tables in operation from 26 to approximately 16. In place of the removed tables, we plan to add semi-live electronic
gaming tables with approximately 30 seats, which are intended to appeal to individual players visiting the market. With our strong
relationships with gaming suppliers, we intend to obtain these machines on a revenue sharing basis resulting in minimal capital
investment. We expect these changes will be completed within the next several months.
Gaming Products
Gaming products revenue, which consisted
of gaming chips and plaques sales, decreased approximately $816,000 to $162,000 for the three-month period ended June 30,
2013 compared to approximately $978,000 in the same period of the prior year. The decrease was mainly a result of lower production
levels due to the strategic relocation of the manufacturing facilities from Australia to Hong Kong and the initial set up at the
new location. The relocation of equipment commenced in March 2013 and was completed in May 2013.
Gross margin loss on gaming products
increased approximately $552,000 to $384,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to gross profit of
approximately $168,000 in the same period of the prior year. The increase in gross margin loss was mainly due to the
relocation and set up of the manufacturing facilities, which resulted in lower production volumes and utilization and
cost absorption of the facilities and high non-recurring costs of approximately $166,000, including consultants, personnel
training and manning costs associated with trial runs and equipment installation, for the three-month period ended June 30,
2013.
Gaming products revenue increased approximately $80,000 to $1.6
million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $1.5 million in the same period of the prior
year mainly as a result of higher reorders from existing customers.

increased approximately $731,000 to a loss of $452,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to gross
profit of approximately $279,000 in the same period of the prior year.
The increase in gross
margin loss was mainly due to the reasons stated above and higher labor costs in the three-month period ended March 31, 2013
as a result of increased overtime by the Australian workers due to the expedited fulfillment of orders ahead of the
relocation of the plant and absenteeism following the announcement of the relocation of the gaming products
business.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased approximately $197,000 to $1.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1.6 million in the
same period of the prior year. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, consulting, accounting, travel and entertainment
expenses decreased approximately $125,000 mainly as a result of lower fees for new and completed projects and decreased traveling
required in relation to the new gaming projects. Legal, investor relations, utilities, printing and other expenses decreased approximately
$120,000 primarily due to fewer gaming projects and various cost reduction initiatives. Sales commission decreased approximately
$50,000 primarily due to lower gaming products sales. These decreases were partially offset by increases in salaries and wages,
insurance, rent, and other expenses, which increased approximately $98,000 primarily due to the increased scale of operations and
headcount for the gaming operations and gaming products divisions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately
$165,000 to $3.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to $3.2 million in the same period of the prior
year. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, consulting, accounting, travel and entertainment expenses decreased approximately
$186,000 mainly as a result of lower fees for new and completed projects and decreased traveling required in relation to the new
gaming projects. Legal, investor relations, salaries and wages, utilities, printing and other expenses decreased approximately
$196,000 primarily due to fewer gaming projects and various cost reduction initiatives. These decreases were partially offset by
increases in insurance, rent, and other expenses, which increased approximately $217,000 primarily due to increased scale of operations
and headcount for the gaming operations and gaming products divisions.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense decreased
approximately $89,000 to $198,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to $287,000 in the prior year period
primarily due to a decrease in fair value of stock prices during the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the
prior year period.
Stock-based compensation expense decreased
approximately $107,000 to $445,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to $552,000 in the same period of
the prior year primarily due to the same reason stated above.
Gain on Disposition of Assets
There was no disposition of assets for
the three-month period ended June 30, 2013. Gain on disposition of assets was $17,000 for the three-month period ended June 30,
2012, which related to the sale of non-performing EGMs and systems during the period.
There was no disposition of assets for
the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. Gain on disposition of assets was $29,000 in the same period of the prior year primarily
due to the same reason as stated above.
Product Development Expenses
Product development expenses decreased
approximately $51,000 to $35,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to $86,000 in the prior year period primarily
due to lower development activities during the relocation on the gaming products manufacturing facilities.
Product development expenses decreased
approximately $31,000 to $155,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $186,000 in the same
period of the prior year for the same reason as stated above.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
Total depreciation and amortization expenses
decreased approximately $12,000 to $47,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $59,000
in the prior year period primarily as a result of an increase in fully depreciated fixed assets for gaming operations.
Total depreciation and amortization expenses
decreased by approximately $13,000 to $77,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $90,000
in the same period of the prior year for the same reason as stated above.
Impairment of Assets
There were no impairment of assets for
the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 compared to $71,000 in the same periods of the prior year primarily as
a result of the impairment of non-redeployable EGMs related to the closure of non-performing venues during the three-month period
ended June 30, 2012.

Interest Expense and Finance Fees
Interest expense and finance fees decreased
approximately $35,000 to $1,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $36,000 in the same
period of the prior year primarily due to the full repayment of notes payable to a related party in December 2012.
Interest expense and finance fees decreased
approximately $84,000 to $5,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $89,000 in the same
period of the prior year for the same reason as stated above.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased approximately
$14,000 to $NIL for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $14,000 in the same period of the prior
year primarily as a result of lower bank balances.
Interest income decreased approximately $22,000 to $4,000 for
the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $26,000 in the same period of the prior year for the same
reason as stated above.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Foreign currency losses
increased approximately $317,000 to $292,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to gains of
approximately $25,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the comparatively higher
percentage appreciation in the value of U.S. dollar denominated payables from the Philippines operations, whose functional
currency is the Philippine peso. In addition, the U.S. dollar appreciated during the three-month period ended June 30, 2013
compared to: the Australian dollar, which resulted in an exchange loss from other receivables settlement associated with the
sale of the non-gaming Dolphin Australia assets, whose functional currency is the Australian dollar; and the Thai baht, which
resulted in an exchange loss for the Cambodia operations’ baht cage holdings.
Foreign currency losses increased approximately
$402,000 to $188,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to gains of approximately $214,000 for the same
period in the prior year for the same reasons as stated above.
Other
Other income decreased approximately $19,000
to $7,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to $26,000 in the prior year period primarily due to miscellaneous
income received by Australia operations in the three-month period ended June 30, 2012.
Other income decreased approximately $16,000
to $10,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $26,000 in the prior year period primarily due
to the same reason as stated above.
Income Tax Provisions
Effective tax rates were approximately (2.0)% and 7.6% and (7.3)%
and 6.4% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We continue to review the treatment
of tax losses and future income generated by foreign subsidiaries to minimize taxation costs.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2013, we had total
cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.8 million and working capital of approximately $4.5 million. Our cash and working
capital during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 was positively impacted by the cash received from slot operations
but was negatively impacted by expenses associated with casino and gaming development projects, including the construction and
opening of Dreamworld Club (Poipet), the purchase of EGMs for gaming operations and the relocation of Dolphin gaming chips and
plaques operations from Australia to Hong Kong.
Total capital expenditure for Dreamworld
Club (Poipet), which principally included the development and construction of the facility and approximately $5.0 million for gaming
equipment, totaled approximately $7.5 million. Of the $7.5 million total expenditure for Dreamworld Club (Poipet), we incurred
approximately $7.1 million as of June 30, 2013.
As part of our growth strategy for gaming
operations, we expect to purchase EGMs to supplement existing inventory and source future targeted deployment plans. Our current
casino and gaming development plans for the remainder of 2013 include the refocusing of the Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) operations.
As part of our growth strategy for gaming
products, we intend to incur costs related to enhancing production efficiencies for these operations. Our current plans for
the remainder of 2013 include the purchase of new equipment that provides for increased production capacity and automation.
We also continue to pursue other new gaming
projects, however, there is no guarantee we will successfully secure any of these new projects.
We presently expect that our
capital expenditures for the remainder of 2013 based on our current contractual commitments will be approximately $1.5 to
$2.0 million. This includes: approximately $600,000 to $900,000 for the slot operations including EGM purchases, upgrades,
and general maintenance; $900,000 to $1.0 million for equipment and systems purchases and general maintenance for the gaming
products facility and less than $100,000 for the refocusing of the Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) operations.
We anticipate our available working capital,
along with cash expected to be generated from operations, will allow us to meet our capital expenditure needs for the remainder
of 2013.
As noted above, however, we continue to
pursue additional casino and gaming projects. While there is no guarantee we will be successful in securing new projects, if we
were to secure new projects our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2013 would increase beyond the $1.5 to $2.0 million currently
contemplated. At this time, we are unable to predict the amount of additional capital expenditures that could be required in 2013
for such potential projects. Where possible, we intend to fund our casino and gaming projects from our cash flow from operations
and cash on hand. Further, we will seek to structure the development of these projects in phases to better control and pace the
related expenditure of capital. However, should we commit to large projects, to the concurrent development of multiple casinos
and gaming projects or a new project requires large upfront payments, we may need to acquire additional capital. We would endeavor
to obtain any required additional capital from various financing sources including commercial debt financing and the sale of our
debt or equity securities. However, there are no commitments or arrangements in place as of the date of this report for receipt
of additional capital and there is no assurance we will be able to acquire additional capital if, and when, needed on commercially
reasonable terms or at all.

Operations
Cash provided by operations was approximately
$1.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to $6.0 million in the same period of the prior year. The
decrease in cash provided by operations was primarily due to a decrease of approximately $1.0 million in slot operations revenue,
initial start-up costs for Dolphin Hong Kong and one-off costs, including severance, relocation charges and contract termination
fees, of approximately $1.3 million associated with the sale of the non-gaming products assets and relocation of the gaming chips
and plaques operations from Australia to Hong Kong in the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. All of the $1.3 million in one-off
costs associated with the sale of the non-gaming products assets and relocation of the gaming chips and plaques operations were
incurred in the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. In addition, there was a general reduction in working capital of approximately
$1.0 million as part of the settlement in payable balances related to the sale of the Dolphin non-gaming assets.
Investing
Cash used in investing activities was approximately
$7.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $3.8 million in the same period of the
prior year. The increase in cash used in investing activities was mainly a result of the capital expenditures related to the
construction of Dreamworld Club (Poipet), the new factory renovation and purchase of equipment for the new gaming products manufacturing
facility and the purchase of a greater amount of EGMs and related systems in the six-month period of ended June 30, 2013.
Financing
Cash used in financing activities was $NIL
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to approximately $3.2 million in the same period of the prior year.
The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily a result of the full repayment of the notes payable to EGT Entertainment
Holding (see Note 13) in December 2012.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements were
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, we are required to make
estimates incorporating judgments and assumptions we believe are reasonable based on our historical experience, contract terms,
observance of known trends in our Company and the industry as a whole, as well as information available from other outside sources.
Our estimates affect amounts recorded in the financial statements and actual results may differ from initial estimates.
We consider the following accounting estimates
to be the most critical to fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. They require us to make subjective
or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain or variable. Senior management has discussed the development,
selection and disclosure of the following accounting estimates, particularly those considered most sensitive to changes from external
factors, with the audit committee of our board of directors.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable
As of June 30, 2013, we had net accounts
receivable of approximately $404,000, representing 1% of total assets. We specifically analyze the collectability of each account
based upon the age of the account, the customer’s financial condition, collection history and any other known information,
and we provide specific allowance to aged account balances. Revenue is recognized on a cash basis for customers with doubtful accounts
receivable. Our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable was approximately $3,000 and $15,000 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31,
2012.
Inventory
The determination of obsolete or excess
inventory requires us to estimate the future demand for our products within specific time horizons, generally one year or less.
If we experience a significant unexpected decrease in demand for our products or a higher occurrence of inventory obsolescence
because of changes in technology or customer requirements, we could be required to increase our inventory provisions.
Gaming Equipment and Property and Equipment
As of June 30, 2013, we had gaming
equipment and property and equipment of approximately $18.6 million, representing 50% of total assets. We depreciate gaming equipment
and property and equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are based on
the nature of the assets as well as the current operating strategy and legal considerations such as contractual life. Future events,
such as property expansions, property developments, trends in market demand, new competition, or technology obsolescence, could
result in a change in the manner in which we use certain assets and require a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets.
For assets to be held and used, they are
reviewed for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. If an indicator of impairment exists, we first group assets at
the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the
“asset group”). Secondly, we estimate the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and expected
to arise from the use and eventual disposition of such asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no
impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then an impairment is measured based
on fair value compared to carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model.
To estimate the undiscounted cash flows
of an asset group, we consider potential cash flows scenarios based on management’s estimates given current conditions. Determining
the recoverability of our asset groups is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including
estimated cash flows, growth rates and future market conditions, among others. Future changes to our estimates and assumptions
based upon changes in macro-economic factors, regulatory environments, operating results or management’s intentions may result
in future changes to the recoverability of the asset group.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, including
Casino Contracts
As of June 30, 2013, we had intangible
assets, including goodwill and casino contracts of $8.1 million, representing 22% of total assets.
Goodwill is not subject to amortization
and is tested for impairment and recoverability annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the assets
might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of its fair value with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount
is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value, an impairment will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. If its carrying
amount does not exceed the fair value, no impairment is recognized.
Finite-lived intangible assets, including
casino contracts are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are based
on the nature of the assets as well as legal considerations such as contractual life. Future events, such as technology obsolescence
could result in a change in the manner in which we use the assets and require a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets.
Finite-lived intangible assets, including casino contracts are tested for impairment and recoverability when there are indicators
of impairment. The impairment test consists of a comparison of its fair value with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount
is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value, an impairment will be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. If its carrying
amount does not exceed the fair value, no impairment is recognized.
As of June 30, 2013, we had casino
contracts and gaming operation agreement of $7.4 million, representing 92% of total intangible assets. The fair value of our casino
contracts and gaming operation agreement was estimated using a form of the income approach known as the excess earnings method,
excess earnings were discounted to present value at rates commensurate with our capital structure and the prevailing borrowing
rates within the industry in general. Determining the fair value of the casino contracts and gaming operation agreement is judgmental
in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue, operating expenses, growth rates, discount
rates and future market conditions, among others. Future changes to our estimates and assumptions based upon changes in macro-economic
factors, operating results or management’s intentions may result in future changes to the fair value of the casino contracts
and gaming operation agreement.
Stock-Based Compensation
We apply ASC 718,
Compensation-Stock
Compensation
, to account for stock-based compensation. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, we recognize
stock-based compensation expense for all service-based awards to employees and non-employee directors with graded vesting schedules
on the straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Estimates are revised if subsequent information
indicates that forfeitures will differ from previous estimates, and the cumulative effect on compensation costs of a change in
the estimated forfeitures is recognized in the period of the change. For non-employee awards, we remeasure compensation costs
each period until the service condition is complete and recognize compensation costs on the straight-line basis over the requisite
service period. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, and changes in the assumptions
used can materially affect the fair value estimate. Judgment is required in estimating stock price volatility, forfeiture rates,
expected dividends, and expected terms that options remain outstanding. For restricted stock awards with performance conditions,
the Company evaluates if performance conditions are probable in each reporting period. The compensation expense of restricted awards
is recognized ratably over the implicit service period if achieving performance conditions is probable. Initial accruals of compensation
expense are based on the estimated number of shares for which requisite service is expected to be rendered.
Stock-based compensation expense totaled
approximately $198,000 and $287,000 and $445,000 and $552,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013
and 2012, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S.
(including federal and state) and several foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. We record income taxes under the asset and
liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable
to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes requires
a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence it is “more-likely-than-not”
that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed
at each reporting period based on a “more-likely-than-not” realization threshold. This assessment considers, among
other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration
of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring, and implementation
of tax planning strategies.
We recorded a valuation allowance to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. Management will reassess the realization
of deferred tax assets based on the applicable accounting standards for income taxes each reporting period and consider the scheduled
reversal of deferred tax liabilities, sources of taxable income and tax planning strategies. To the extent that the financial results
of these operations improve and it becomes “more-likely-than-not” that the deferred tax assets are realizable, we will
be able to reduce the valuation allowance. For valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets generated prior to Quasi-Reorganization,
which was effected on December 31, 2010, reductions in the valuation allowance will be recorded directly in equity.
Significant judgment is required in evaluating
our tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions
for which the tax treatment is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step approach
to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining
if the weight of available evidence indicates it is “more-likely-than-not” that the position will be sustained on audit,
including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest
amount which is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. We consider many
factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may
not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in
the provision of income taxes in the statements of comprehensive income.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02,
Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
. The amendments do not change the current
requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. However, the amendments require an
entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition,
an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement when net income is presented or in the notes, significant
amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount
reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For public
entities, the amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU
2013-02 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet financing
arrangements.
