SUMMARY
You should read this summary in conjunction with the more detailed information and financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. 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 this prospectus have been proportionally adjusted to reflect the impact of this reverse stock split.
Our Company
Entertainment Gaming Asia Inc. is engaged in: (i) gaming operations, which include the ownership and leasing of electronic gaming machines, or EGMs, in resorts, hotels and other venues in certain Asian countries placed on a revenue sharing basis with venue owners and the development and operation of regional casinos and gaming clubs in the Indo-China region under our Dreamworld brand; and (ii) the design, manufacture and distribution of gaming chips and plaques and distribution of other gaming products.
For our gaming operations, we 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 and Sokha Hotels and Resorts in Cambodia, we also function as a manager of the EGM operations. In these venues, we jointly manage with the relevant casino owner 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.
In May 2010, we announced our intention to expand our gaming operations and develop and operate regional casinos and gaming clubs under our Dreamworld brand in certain emerging gaming markets in Indo-China. We believe this expanded business strategy offers the potential for higher long-term incremental returns on our operations given the ability to collect a greater share of the net win compared to our existing slot contracts. In addition, we believe it provides us with the opportunity for greater long-term control over our operations. We presently have one Dreamworld property in northwestern Cambodia in the
province of Banteay Meanchey, Dreamworld Club (Poipet).
Under our gaming products division, we develop, manufacture and distribute high radio frequency identification, or RFID, and traditional non-RFID gaming chips and plaques under our Dolphin brand. We supply our Dolphin gaming chips and plaques to major integrated casino resorts in Macau, Philippines, Australia and New Zealand. Utilizing our existing infrastructure, we also distribute gaming products for third-party manufacturers in certain markets in Asia.
As of the date of this prospectus, our plan of operations for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future will focus on the growth of our gaming operations through the development and operation of casino and gaming clubs under our Dreamworld brand and growing our slot participation business as well as expanding our gaming products operations.
We are undertaking the present rights offering for purposes of funding additional casinos and gaming clubs and slot participation contracts as well as for general working capital requirements for our Dolphin operations. We are currently conducting a survey and analysis of potential gaming projects and have commenced preliminary discussions with third parties with regard to such projects. However, as of the date of this prospectus there are no agreements, understandings or arrangements concerning our development of or participation in additional gaming projects.
Our executive offices are located at Unit C1, Ground Floor, Koon Wah Building, No. 2 Yuen Shun Circuit, Yuen Chau Kok, Shatin, New Territories, Hong Kong SAR; phone number +852-3147-6600.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The Rights Offering
The following summary describes the principal terms of the rights offering, but is not intended to be a complete description of the offering. Please see
The Rights Offering
for a more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the distribution of rights and the offering of our common stock.
|
|
We will grant to each holder of record of our common stock on , 2014, the record date, at no charge, .92278 non-transferable subscription right for every one share of our common stock owned on the record date. The subscription rights will be evidenced by non-transferable subscription rights certificates. As of the date of this prospectus, an aggregate of 30,102,162 shares of our common stock were outstanding. If and to the extent that our stockholders exercise their right to purchase our common stock, we will issue up to 27,777,673 shares and receive gross proceeds of up to approximately $15 million in the rights offering. In that case, we will have approximately 57,879,835 shares of common stock outstanding after the rights offering.
|
Basic Subscription Rights
|
|
|
|
|
Each whole subscription right entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock for $0.54 per share, the subscription price, which shall be paid in cash. After the expiration date, the subscription rights will expire and have no value. We will not issue fractional subscription rights or cash in lieu of fractional subscription rights, but rather will round down fractional subscription rights to the nearest whole number.
|
|
|
If you fully exercise your basic subscription right and other holders of subscription rights do not fully exercise their basic subscription rights, the oversubscription rights entitle you to purchase additional shares of our common stock up to two times the number of shares you purchased under your basic subscription right at the same subscription price per share. If an insufficient number of shares are available to fully satisfy all oversubscription right exercises by holders thereof, we will allocate the available common shares among shareholders who oversubscribed by multiplying the number of shares requested by each shareholder through the exercise of oversubscription privileges by a fraction that equals (x) the number of shares available to be issued through oversubscription privileges divided by (y) the total number of shares requested by all subscribers through the exercise of their oversubscription
privileges. The subscription agent will return any excess payments by mail without interest or deduction as soon as practicable after the expiration of the subscription period.
|
|
|
$0.54 per share, which shall be paid in cash. In order to be effective, any payment related to the exercise of a right must clear prior to the expiration of the rights offering.
|
|
|
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2014, subject to extension or earlier termination. Subscription rights shall be irrevocable once they are exercised and shall continue to be irrevocable in the event the rights offering is extended.
|
Non-Transferability of Rights
|
|
|
|
|
The subscription rights are not transferable.
|
3
TABLE OF CONTENTS
|
|
Once you submit the form of rights certificate to exercise any subscription rights, you may not revoke, change or cancel your exercise or request a refund of monies paid. All exercises of subscription rights are irrevocable, even if you later learn of information that you consider to be unfavorable to the exercise of your subscription rights. You should not exercise your subscription rights unless you are certain that you wish to purchase additional shares of our common stock at a subscription price of $0.54 per share.
|
Amendment, Extension and Termination
|
|
|
|
|
We may extend the expiration date at any time after the record date. Subscription rights shall be irrevocable once they are exercised and shall continue to be irrevocable in the event that the rights offering is extended. We may also amend or modify the terms of the rights offering at any time prior to the expiration date, including if we extend the rights offering. We also reserve the right to terminate the rights offering at any time prior to the expiration date for any reason. In the event the rights offering is terminated, then the subscription agent will return all subscription funds without interest or deduction to those persons who exercised their subscription rights.
|
Procedure for Exercising Rights
|
|
|
|
|
If you are a record holder of common stock and you wish to exercise your subscription rights, you must complete the rights certificate and deliver it to the subscription agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, together with full payment for all the subscription rights you elect to exercise under your basic subscription right and oversubscription right prior to the expiration of the rights offering. You may deliver such subscription documents and payments by mail or commercial carrier. If you use the mail, we recommend that you use insured, registered mail or return receipt requested. If you cannot deliver your rights certificate to the subscription agent prior to the expiration of the rights offering, you may follow the guaranteed delivery procedures under
The Rights Offering
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures
.
|
|
|
Since your payment related to the exercise of a right must clear prior to the rights offering expiration date, we recommend that you elect a payment and delivery method that provides sufficient time for delivery of cleared funds.
|
|
|
If you hold our common stock in street name through a broker, custodian bank or other nominee, you will not receive an actual subscription rights certificate. We will ask your broker, custodian bank or other nominees to notify you of the rights offering. As described in this prospectus, you must instruct your broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee whether or not to exercise rights on your behalf. You should complete and return to your broker, custodian bank or other nominee the form entitled
Beneficial Owners Election Form
. You should receive this form from your broker, custodian bank or other nominee with the other rights offering materials. You should contact your broker, custodian bank or other nominee if you believe you are entitled to participate in the rights offering but you have not received this form.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
|
|
If you send a payment that is insufficient to purchase the number of shares requested, or if the number of shares requested is not specified in the rights certificate, the payment received will be applied to exercise your subscription rights to the extent of the payment. If the payment exceeds the amount necessary for the full exercise of your subscription rights, including any oversubscription rights exercised and permitted, the subscription agent will return to you the excess funds without interest or a deduction therefrom.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following risk factors before investing in our common stock. Our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose part or all of your investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business
We have a history of operating losses and may continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.
For the year ended December 31, 2013 and six-month period ended June 30, 2014, we incurred net losses from continuing operations of approximately $1.4 million and $657,000, respectively. Except for our 2011 and 2012 fiscal years, we have historically incurred net losses from operations and may continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We have a limited history in the slot participation business, which commenced in the second half of 2007, and in 2012 commenced a new line of operations involving
the development and operation of our own regional casinos and gaming venues under our Dreamworld brand in the Indo-China region. However, as described further below, we have not been satisfied with the performance to date of these operations. Further, our limited operating history in the gaming business makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations. Finally, we remain subject to the risks inherent in any developing business, including those mentioned below. While management will endeavor to generate net income from operations, there can be no assurance we will be able to successfully do so.
We have a dependence on NagaWorld and the termination or expiration of that relationship will have a significant negative impact on our financial performance.
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). As of June 30, 2014, we had 670 EGMs under contract in NagaWorld, representing approximately 39% of our total EGMs placed for our slot business as of that date, and those machines are among our highest performing units on
a net win per day basis. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and six-month period ended June 30, 2014, our operations in NagaWorld accounted for approximately 60% and 59% of consolidated revenue, respectively, and approximately 72% and 69%, respectively, of revenue from gaming operations. We believe we have a good relationship with NagaCorp, however, should material events occur that are detrimental to NagaWorld and its operations or cause the loss of this customer, it would have a significant negative impact on our financial performance. The current contract with NagaWorld will expire in March 2016. There can be no assurances that we will be able to renew the contract under similar conditions, if at all. Absent significant improvement in our existing operations or securing new successful projects, the loss of the NagaWorld contract would have a significant negative impact on our financial performance.
Intended expansion of gaming operations represents a material addition to our business model, which has not been proven by us.
In May 2010, we announced plans to expand our gaming operations and become an owner and operator of regional casinos and gaming venues under our Dreamworld brand in certain emerging gaming markets in Indo-China. We presently have one Dreamworld property in operation, Dreamworld Club (Poipet). Dreamworld Club (Poipet) is a slot hall in Cambodia, which opened in May 2013. Previously, we had developed another Dreamworld property, Dreamworld Casino (Pailin), which was
located in the Pailin province of Cambodia. Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) opened in May 2012 and was closed in June 2014 as this property had been unprofitable from inception. Based on our Dreamworld operations, our performance, on the whole, has not been satisfactory with regard to the development and operation of regional casinos and gaming venues to date. Further, we remain subject to the risks inherent in any developing business, including those mentioned herein. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our casino and gaming development operations.
Due to the nature of our slot operations, the actions of our venue owners with which we partner could impact our financial performance.
Our slot operations, which involve the ownership and leasing of EGMs on a revenue sharing basis in certain countries in Asia, are presently the primary contributor to earnings. These operations focus on targeting venue owners, many of whom have little or no gaming operations experience. Since we participate on a revenue sharing basis with these venue owners, our revenue generated from these agreements will be dependent to a significant degree on the efforts and
capabilities of the venue owners. Our revenues and results from the slot operations may be impacted by the ability of the venue owners
7
TABLE OF CONTENTS
to manage the gaming operations of their venues. Accordingly, there can be no guarantee that the venue owners will be able to manage the gaming operations successfully or that the gaming venues operated by them will perform at levels consistent with our financial projections and underlying forecasts and assumptions. Further, we have limited past business relationships with certain of the venue owners and, despite background checks and other due diligence that we may perform, the venue owners may not be as reputable as what we may have expected consistent with our policy. In the event that any of the venue owners are not
reputable, this would expose us to the risk of being unable to collect the revenue to which we are entitled under the revenue share arrangements and protect our gaming machine assets.
We could require additional funding in the future to execute casino and gaming development plans.
As of June 30, 2014, we had working capital of approximately $5.8 million. We believe we have sufficient cash on hand to fulfill all current obligations as they become due and to fund our planned capital investments and equipment purchases and maintenance, for both the gaming operations and gaming products businesses, over the next 12 months. However, we may need to raise additional capital within the next 12 months if we were to: commit to a large development project, the concurrent development of
multiple casino and gaming projects or a new project that requires large upfront payments; experience a shortfall in internal earnings projections; be required to procure additional EGMs for projects; or require capital for reasons not currently contemplated. We have undertaken the present rights offering for purposes of acquiring the additional capital necessary to pursue one or more additional casino or gaming projects. If we are unsuccessful in acquiring the additional capital needed by way of the rights offering, we may endeavor to raise funds through various financing sources, including the sale of our equity and debt securities and the procurement of commercial debt financing. However, there can be no guarantees that such funds will be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to expand or continue our business as desired and operating results may be adversely affected. Any debt financing will
increase expenses and must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the following results can occur:
|
|
the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced;
|
|
|
our stockholders may experience additional dilution in net book value per share; and/or
|
|
|
the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock.
|
Our operations are focused in markets outside the United States, which exposes us to risks inherent in international business operations.
We intend to pursue slot operations and casino and gaming development projects in certain markets in Asia. We also focus our sales efforts for gaming products, primarily gaming chips and plaques, in Asia and Australia. However, these efforts may not be successful. Our international operations expose us to risks and challenges that we would otherwise not face if we conducted our business only in the United States, such as:
|
|
increased cost of enforcing our intellectual property rights;
|
|
|
heightened price sensitivities from customers in emerging markets;
|
|
|
our ability to establish or contract for local manufacturing, support and service functions;
|
|
|
localization of our EGMs and components, including translation into foreign languages and the associated expenses;
|
|
|
compliance with multiple, conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations;
|
|
|
foreign currency fluctuations;
|
|
|
laws favoring local competitors;
|
|
|
weaker legal protections of contract terms, enforcement on collection of receivables and intellectual property rights and mechanisms for enforcing those rights;

Our gaming operations are presently concentrated in Cambodia and the Philippines, which means our results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected by economic or political developments in either country.
Our business model contemplates the development of slot operations in certain Asian countries and casino and gaming venue development business in Indo-China, however, at the present time our gaming operations are located solely in Cambodia and the Philippines. As a result, we experience significant exposure to the business concentration risks presented by the
economies and regulatory environments of these two countries. Our ability to operate in Cambodia and the Philippines may be harmed by changes in the local laws and regulations, including those relating to gaming, taxation, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. In the Philippines, with the exception of major integrated resorts in the Manila area, almost all gaming operations are controlled by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), a government corporation that holds the exclusive right to operate slot rooms in the Philippines, which reports directly to the Office of the President of the Philippines. While we have no reason to believe at this time any of our gaming operations or partners are facing the risk of any adverse government action in Cambodia or the Philippines, the central or local governments of such jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require
additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure compliance with such regulations or interpretations or which may even restrict the licenses under which we and our partners operate. Likewise, any political turmoil, adverse weather conditions, calamities or epidemics occur in any of these two countries would have a significant negative impact on our business operations and financial performance.
For the year ended December 31, 2013 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, our financial performance for our operations in NagaWorld was negatively impacted due to protests in Cambodias capital of Phnom Penh, which related to the countrys national elections held in July 2013 and general labor unrest. Revenue from NagaWorld declined to $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $14.1 million in the prior year and to $5.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $6.8 million in the prior year period.
In addition, tensions arising between Cambodia and the Philippines and other Asian gaming markets could have an adverse impact of our operations. For example, there have been tensions between the Peoples Republic of China and the Philippines due to territorial conflicts pertaining to the sovereignty of islands in the South China Sea. This tension may result in reduced tourism from the Peoples Republic of China to the Philippines.
We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (FCPA), and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute, for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We have operations and agreements with third parties in certain Asian countries. Our activities
in Asia create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company, even though they may not always be subject to our control. It is our policy to implement safeguards to discourage these practices by our employees, however, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors of our Company may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights.
Our success in business, in particular, in relation to our gaming chips and plaques products, is impacted by maintaining the confidentiality and proprietary nature of our intellectual property rights. Our ability to compete may be damaged, and our revenues may be reduced if we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights adequately. To protect these rights, we rely principally on a combination of:
|
|
contractual arrangements providing for non-disclosure and prohibitions on use;
|
|
|
patents and pending patent applications;
|
|
|
trade secret, copyright and trademark laws; and
|
|
|
certain built-in technical product features.
|
Patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws provide limited protection. The protections provided by laws governing intellectual property rights do not prevent competitors from developing, independently, products similar or superior to our products and technologies. In addition, effective protection of copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, and other proprietary rights may be unavailable or limited in certain foreign countries. We may be unaware of certain non-publicly available patent applications, which, if issued as patents, could relate to our services and products as currently designed or as we may modify them in
the future. Legal or regulatory proceedings to enforce our patents, trademarks or copyrights could be costly, time consuming, and could divert the attention of management and technical personnel.
Melco International Development Ltd., through its subsidiary EGT Entertainment Holding, holds a significant interest in our common stock, giving Melco significant power over our management and all shareholder actions.
As of the date of this prospectus, EGT Entertainment Holding Limited owned 11.45 million shares of our common stock, representing approximately 38% of the issued and outstanding common shares. Accordingly, given its equity ownership, EGT Entertainment Holding Limited has significant control over all matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the power to elect our board
members and other significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership will make it difficult for other shareholders to effect substantial changes in our Company, and also will have the effect of delaying, preventing or expediting, as the case may be, a further change in control. As a stockholder as of the record date, EGT Entertainment Holding Limited will have the right to subscribe for and purchase shares of our common stock under the rights offering. To the extent EGT Entertainment Holding Limited fully exercises its basic subscription right and other stockholders do not, EGT Entertainment Holding Limited will increase its percentage of ownership to an amount as high as 54.1% of our outstanding common stock, in which case EGT Entertainment Holding Limited would have complete control of all matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the power to elect our board members and other significant corporate transactions. If EGT Entertainment Holding Limited
chooses to fully participate in the oversubscription privilege, it could achieve a percentage ownership as high as 67.7%, depending on the level of participation by our other stockholders.
Our board of directors may issue blank check preferred stock, which may affect the voting rights of our holders and could deter or delay an attempt to obtain control of us.
The board of directors is authorized, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock in series and to fix and state the voting rights and powers, designation, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof. Preferred stock may rank prior to our common stock with respect to dividends rights, liquidation
preferences, or both, and may have full or limited voting rights. Accordingly, issuance of shares of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock and could have the effect of deterring or delaying an attempt to obtain control of us.
We are a smaller reporting company and as a result of the reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies, our common stock may be less attractive to investors.
We are a smaller reporting company, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $75 million and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. As a smaller reporting
company, the disclosure we are
10
TABLE OF CONTENTS
required to provide in our SEC filings is less than it would be if we were not considered to be a smaller reporting company. Specifically, smaller reporting companies are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings, are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being
required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status a smaller reporting company may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.
There is currently a limited trading market for our common stock and we cannot ensure that a fully liquid market will ever develop or be sustained.
Our common shares are traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol EGT. However, we consider our common stock to be thinly traded and any last reported sale prices may not be a true market-based valuation of the common stock. Also, the present volume of trading in our common stock may not provide investors sufficient liquidity in the event you wish to sell your common shares. There can be no assurance that an active market
for our common stock will develop. In addition, the stock market in general, and lower market cap public companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such companies. If we are unable to develop a fully liquid market for our common shares, you may not be able to sell your common shares at prices you consider to be fair or at times that are convenient for you, or at all.
We are currently not in compliance with, and may be unable to regain or maintain compliance with, NASDAQs continued listing requirements.
On April 17, 2014, we received a deficiency letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC advising that, based on our closing bid price for the prior 30 consecutive business days, we did not comply with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share, as set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have a grace period of 180 calendar days, until October 14, 2014, to regain compliance with the minimum
closing price requirement for continued listing. If at any time during the 180-day notice period, the minimum closing bid price per share of our common stock closes at or above $1.00 for a period of ten consecutive business days, we will regain compliance and the matter will be closed. In the event we do not regain compliance within the 180-day grace period, we may be eligible to receive an additional 180-day grace period, provided that we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable standards for initial listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, except for the bid price requirement, and provide written notice of our intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during the second 180-day grace period. If we fail to regain compliance after the second 180-day grace period, our common stock will be subject to delisting by NASDAQ.
There is no assurance we will regain and maintain compliance with the NASDAQ continued listing standards. The delisting of our common stock from trading on NASDAQ could have a significant negative effect on the market for, and liquidity and value of, our common stock. In addition, in order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, it may be necessary for us to conduct a combination or reverse split of our outstanding common shares. If we find it necessary to conduct a reverse split, there can be no assurance that the total market capitalization of our common stock after the proposed reverse stock split will
be equal to or greater than the total market capitalization before the proposed reverse stock split or that the per share market price of our common stock following the reverse stock split will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding before the reverse stock split.
Risks Related to this Rights Offering
The subscription price determined for the rights offering is not an indication of the fair value of our common stock.
The subscription price in the rights offering is equal to $0.54. The subscription price does not necessarily bear any relationship to the book value of our assets, net worth, past operations, cash flows, losses, financial condition, or any other established criteria for valuing the Company. You should not consider the subscription price an indication of the value of the Company or our common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Because we have no specific plans for the net proceeds of this offering, we may allocate the proceeds to uses the stockholders do not consider desirable.
We are undertaking the present rights offering for purposes of, among other things, funding additional casinos and gaming clubs on a participation basis with venue owners. We are currently conducting a survey and analysis of certain such potential projects and have commenced preliminary discussions with potential partners. However, as of the date of this prospectus there are no agreements, understandings or arrangements concerning our development of
or participation in additional gaming projects. All of the net proceeds from this rights offering are allocated towards funding additional casinos and gaming clubs, expanding our slot participation operations and working capital. Since we have not identified any such projects for your consideration, our management will have the discretion to allocate a large portion of the net proceeds of this offering towards projects you will not have had the opportunity to review and consider and to uses that you may not deem desirable.
You may not revoke your subscription exercise, even if the rights offering is extended, and your purchase of shares in the rights offering may be at a price higher than the market price.
Once you exercise your subscription rights, you may not revoke the exercise. If we decide to extend the duration of the rights offering, you still may not revoke the exercise of our subscription rights. The public trading market price of our common stock may decline before the subscription rights expire. If you exercise your subscription rights and, afterwards, the market price of our common stock falls below the
subscription price, then you will have committed to buy shares of common stock in the rights offering at a price that is higher than the market price. Moreover, we cannot assure you that you will ever be able to sell shares of common stock that you purchased in the rights offering at a price equal to or greater than the subscription price. Until certificates are delivered or your account at your broker, custodian bank or other nominee is credited upon expiration of the rights offering, you may not be able to sell the shares of our common stock that you purchase in the rights offering. We will issue certificates representing your shares of our common stock, or credit your account at your broker, custodian bank or other nominee with shares of our common stock, electronically in registered, book-entry form only on our records or on the records of our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, that you purchased pursuant to your basic subscription and oversubscription
rights as soon as practicable after the rights offering has expired and all proration calculations, reductions, and additions contemplated by the terms of the rights offering have been effected.
Because we do not have any commitments from any of our stockholders to participate in this rights offering, and have not entered into a standby purchase agreement with any person concerning this rights offering, the net proceeds we receive from this rights offering may be lower than currently anticipated.
We do not have any commitments from any of our stockholders to participate in this rights offering and we cannot assure you that any of our stockholders will exercise all or any part of their basic subscription rights or their oversubscription rights. In addition, we are not entering into any standby
purchase agreement or similar agreement with respect to the purchase of any shares of our common stock subscribed for through the basic subscription rights or the oversubscription rights. Therefore, there is no certainty that any shares will be purchased pursuant to the rights offering and there is no minimum purchase requirement as a condition to our accepting subscriptions.
If the rights offering is not fully subscribed and EGT Entertainment Holding Limited exercises its full basic subscription rights, it will increase its ownership percentage, perhaps to the level of its majority control of our outstanding shares.
As of the date of this prospectus, EGT Entertainment Holding Limited owned approximately 38% of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a stockholder as of the record date, EGT Entertainment Holding Limited will have the right to subscribe for and purchase shares of our common stock under the rights offering. If EGT Entertainment Holding Limited fully
exercises its basic subscription right and other stockholders do not, EGT Entertainment Holding Limited will increase its percentage of ownership to an amount as high as 54.1% of our outstanding common stock. If EGT Entertainment Holding Limited chooses to fully participate in the oversubscription privilege, it could achieve a percentage ownership as high as 67.7%, depending on the level of participation by our other stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
If EGT Entertainment Holding Limited achieves ownership of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock, it will have the ability to elect all members of our board directors and approve (or defeat) all matters that come before the stockholders for approval. Also, if EGT Entertainment Holding Limited achieves a majority ownership position, we would become a controlled company as defined by the Rule 5615 of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. As a controlled company, within the meaning of NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, we would not be subject to the corporate governance requirements of Rule 5605 of the
NASDAQ Marketplace Rules that would otherwise require us to have:
|
|
A majority of independent directors on the board of directors;
|
|
|
Compensation of our executive officers determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a majority of the independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors; and
|
|
|
Director nominees selected, or recommended for the board of directors selection, either by a majority of the independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors.
|
All other corporate governance requirements under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules would continue to apply.
Because we may terminate the offering at any time prior to the expiration date, your participation in the rights offering is not assured.
We do not intend, but have the right, to terminate the offering at any time prior to the expiration date. If we determine to terminate the offering, we will not have any obligation with respect to the subscription rights except to return any money received from subscribing stockholders promptly, without interest or deduction.
You will need to act promptly and to carefully follow the subscription instructions, or your exercise of subscription rights will be rejected.
Stockholders who desire to purchase shares in this rights offering must act promptly to ensure that all required forms and payments are actually received by the subscription agent prior to the 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2014, the expected expiration date. If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you must act promptly to ensure that your broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee acts for
you and that all required forms and payments are actually received by the subscription agent prior to the expiration of the subscription period. We are not responsible if your broker, dealer, custodian bank or nominee fails to ensure that all required forms and payments are actually received by the subscription agent prior to the expiration date. If you fail to complete and sign the required subscription forms, or you send an incorrect payment amount, or your payment does not clear, or you otherwise fail to follow the subscription procedures that apply to your exercise in this rights offering prior to the expiration date, the subscription agent may, depending on the circumstances, reject your subscription or accept it only to the extent of the payment received. Neither we nor our subscription agent will undertake to contact you concerning, or attempt to correct, an incomplete or incorrect subscription form or payment. We have the sole discretion to determine whether a subscription
exercise properly follows the subscription procedures.
You will not receive interest on subscription funds, including any funds ultimately returned to you.
You will not earn any interest on your subscription funds while they are being held by the subscription agent pending the closing of this rights offering. In addition, if we cancel the rights offering or if you exercise your oversubscription right and are not allocated all of the shares of common stock for which you oversubscribe, neither we nor the subscription agent will have any obligation with respect to the subscription rights except to return, without interest, any subscription payments to you.
You may not receive all of the shares you subscribe for pursuant to oversubscription rights.
If an insufficient number of shares are available to fully satisfy all oversubscription right requests, the available shares will be distributed proportionately among stockholders who exercised their oversubscription rights based on the number of shares each stockholder subscribed for under their basic subscription rights.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
You may not be able to resell any of our common stock that you purchase pursuant to the exercise of subscription rights immediately upon expiration of the subscription period or be able to sell your shares at a price equal to or greater than the subscription price.
If you exercise your subscription rights, you may not be able to resell the underlying common stock until you or your broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee, if applicable, have received those shares. Moreover, you will have no rights as a holder of the shares of common stock you purchased in this rights offering until we issue the
shares to you. Although we will endeavor to issue the shares promptly after completion of this rights offering, there may be a delay between the expiration date and the time that the shares are issued. In addition, we cannot assure you that, following the exercise of your subscription rights, you will be able to sell your common stock at a price equal to or greater than the subscription price.
If you do not fully exercise your subscription rights, your interest in us may be significantly diluted if and to the extent other stockholders fully exercise their basic and oversubscription rights. In addition, if you do not exercise your subscription rights in full and the subscription price is less than the fair value of our common stock, then you would experience an immediate dilution of the aggregate fair value of your shares, which could be substantial.
If you do not choose to fully exercise your subscription rights, your percentage ownership interest in us may decrease if and to the extent
other stockholders fully exercise their basic and oversubscription rights. If you do not exercise your subscription rights at all, your percentage ownership in us could decrease significantly, if and to the extent other stockholders fully exercise their basic and oversubscription rights. In addition, if you do not exercise your subscription rights in full and the subscription price is less than the fair value of our common stock, you would experience immediate dilution of the value of your shares relative to what your value would have been had our common stock been issued at fair value. This dilution could be substantial.
The issuance of additional shares of our common stock could limit our ability to apply our net operating loss carryforwards to offset our taxable income (if any) in any future year.
The issuance of share of our common stock to EGT Entertainment Holding Limited in connection with its participation in the rights offering may, when considered with other changes in ownership, constitute a change in ownership as defined under Section 382 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If a change in ownership is deemed to have occurred, our net operating loss carryforwards that could be
applied to offset our taxable income (if any) in the United States in any future year would be limited. We cannot determine what effect, if any, these factors would have on the trading price of our common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RELATING TO THE RIGHTS OFFERING
The following are what we anticipate will be common questions about the rights offering. The answers are based on selected information from this prospectus. The following questions and answers do not contain all of the information that may be important to you and may not address all of the questions that you may have about the rights offering. This prospectus contains more detailed descriptions of the terms and conditions of the rights offering and provides additional information about us and our business, including potential risks related to the rights offering, our common stock, and our business.
What is a rights offering?
A rights offering is an opportunity for you to purchase additional shares of common stock at a fixed price and in an amount at least proportional to your existing interest in the Company, enabling you to maintain or possibly increase your current percentage ownership of the Company.
What is a subscription right?
Each whole subscription right gives our stockholders the opportunity to purchase one share of our common stock for $0.54 per share and carries with it a basic subscription privilege and an over-subscription privilege, as described below.
Why are we engaging in a rights offering and how will we use the proceeds from the rights offering?
The purpose of the rights offering is to raise equity capital in a cost-effective manner that allows all stockholders to participate. The net proceeds will be used for the development of future gaming operations projects and general working capital for the gaming products division. Please see
Use of Proceeds
in the accompanying prospectus.
Am I required to exercise all of the rights I receive in the rights offering?
No. You may exercise any number of your subscription rights, or you may choose not to exercise any subscription rights. If you do not exercise your basic subscription rights in full, you will not be entitled to participate in the oversubscription right.
What is the basic subscription right?
Each whole subscription right evidences a right to purchase one share of our common stock at a subscription price of $0.54 per share. You will receive .92278 basic subscription rights for every share of common stock you own on , 2014, subject to adjustments to eliminate fractional rights.
In order to properly exercise your basic subscription right, you must deliver the subscription payment and a properly completed rights certificate, or if you hold your rights through a broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee, complete and return to your record holder the form entitled
Beneficial Owner Election Form
or such other appropriate documents as are provided by your record holder related to your basic subscription right prior to the expiration of the rights offering. If you hold your shares of common stock in street name through a broker, custodian bank, dealer or other nominee who uses the
services of the Depository Trust Company, or DTC, then DTC will issue to your nominee a number of subscription rights to which you are entitled for each share of our common stock you own on the record date.
What is the oversubscription right?
The oversubscription right provides stockholders that exercise their basic subscription rights in full the opportunity to purchase the shares that are not purchased by other stockholders. If you fully exercise your basic subscription right and other holders of subscription rights do not fully exercise their basic subscription rights, the oversubscription right entitles you to purchase additional shares of our common stock up to two times the number of shares you purchased under your basic subscription right at the same subscription price per share. If an insufficient number of shares are available to fully satisfy all
oversubscription right requests, we will allocate the available common shares among shareholders who oversubscribed by multiplying the number of shares requested by each shareholder through the exercise of oversubscription privileges by a fraction that equals (x) the number of shares available to be issued through oversubscription privileges divided
15
TABLE OF CONTENTS
by (y) the total number of shares requested by all subscribers through the exercise of their oversubscription privileges. The subscription agent will return any excess payments by mail without interest or deduction promptly after the expiration of the subscription period.
In order to properly exercise your oversubscription right, you must deliver the subscription payment related to your oversubscription right prior to the expiration of the rights offering. Because we will not know the total number of unsubscribed shares prior to the expiration of the rights offering, if you wish to maximize the number of shares you purchase pursuant to your oversubscription right, you will need to deliver payment in an amount equal to the aggregate subscription price for the maximum number of shares of our common stock available to you under the oversubscription right (i.e., the same number of shares, and the
same aggregate subscription price, paid for the full exercise of your basic subscription right). Please see
The Rights Offering The Subscription Rights Over-Subscription Right.
How was the subscription price of $0.54 per share determined?
In connection with this rights offering, our board of directors established a special committee made up of independent directors to review our financing options and make a recommendation to the full board. The special committee recommended to the full board, and the full board has approved, the present rights offering, including the subscription price of $0.54 per share. Our special committee recommended the subscription price after considering, among other things, an analysis and recommendation prepared by Sterne, Agee & Leach, Inc., an independent financial advisor retained by the special committee, and considered other
factors, including our need for equity capital, the amount of proceeds desired, alternatives available to us for raising equity capital, the likely cost of capital from other sources, the historic and current market price, trading volume and liquidity of our common stock, our relationship with EGT Entertainment Holding Limited, the potential financial impact of the rights offering, the pricing of similar transactions, our business and industry prospects, our recent and anticipated operating results and general conditions in the securities market. In addition, our special committee sought and obtained a written opinion delivered to the special committee by a nationally recognized financial advisory firm engaged by the committee for such purpose, Capstone Valuation Services, LLC, to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with such
opinion, the financial terms of the rights offering are fair from a financial point of view to our stockholders. The $0.54 subscription price is not intended to bear any relationship to the book value of our assets or our past operations, cash flows, losses, financial condition, net worth, or any other established criteria used to value securities. You should not consider the subscription price to be an indication of the fair value of the common stock to be offered in the rights offering.
Who will receive subscription rights?
Holders of our common stock will receive .92278 non-transferable subscription rights for every one share of common stock owned as of , 2014, the record date.
How many shares may I purchase if I exercise my subscription rights?
You will receive .92278 non-transferable subscription right for each share of our common stock that you owned as of , 2014, the record date. Each subscription right evidences a right to purchase one share of our common stock at a subscription price of $0.54 per share. You may exercise any number of your subscription rights.
We determined the ratio of rights you will receive per share by dividing $15 million by the subscription price of $0.54 to determine the number of shares to be issued in the rights offering and then dividing that number of shares by the number of shares outstanding on the record date. For example, if you owned 1,000 shares of our common stock on the record date and you were granted .92278 rights for every one share of our common stock you owned at that time, then you have the right to purchase 922 shares of our common stock for $0.54 per share. You may exercise any number of your subscription rights, or you may choose not to
exercise any subscription rights.
What will happen if I choose not to exercise my subscription rights?
If you choose not to exercise your subscription rights you will retain your current number of shares of common stock of the Company. Stockholders who do not exercise in full their subscription rights granted in
16
TABLE OF CONTENTS
the rights offering will own a smaller percentage of the total shares outstanding if and to the extent other stockholders fully exercise their basic and oversubscription rights. Your subscription rights will expire and have no value if they are not exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2014, the expected expiration date of this rights offering.
Does the Company need to achieve a certain participation level in order to complete the rights offering?
No. We may choose to consummate, amend, extend or terminate the rights offering regardless of the number of subscription rights exercised by holders.
Can the Company terminate the rights offering?
Yes. The board of directors may decide to terminate the rights offering at any time prior to the expiration of the rights offering, for any reason. In such event, all subscription payments received in connection with the rights offering will be returned promptly, without interest or deduction, to those persons who exercised their subscription rights. Please see
Risk Factors Because we may terminate the offering at any time prior to the expiration date, your participation in the rights offering is not assured

TABLE OF CONTENTS
If you send a payment that is insufficient to purchase the number of shares you requested, or if the number of shares you requested is not specified in the rights certificate, the payment received will be applied to exercise your basic subscription privilege. Unless you have specified the number of shares you wish to purchase upon exercise of your over-subscription privilege, any payment in excess of that required to exercise your basic subscription privilege will be refunded. If the payment exceeds the subscription price for the full exercise of the basic and over-subscription privileges (to the extent specified by you), the
excess will be refunded. You will not receive interest on any payments refunded to you under the rights offering.
What should I do if I want to participate in the rights offering, but my shares are held in the name of my broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee?
If you hold your common stock in the name of a broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee, we will ask your broker, custodian bank or other nominee to notify you of the rights offering. If you wish to exercise your rights, you will need to have your broker, custodian bank or other nominee act for you. To indicate your decision, you should complete and return to your broker, custodian bank or other nominee the form entitled,
Beneficial Owner Election Form.
You should receive this form from your broker, custodian bank or other nominee with the other rights offering materials. You should contact your
broker, custodian bank or other nominee if you believe you are entitled to participate in the rights offering but you have not received this form.
What should I do if I want to participate in the rights offering, but I am a stockholder with a foreign address or a stockholder with an APO or FPO address?
The subscription agent will not mail rights certificates to you if you are a stockholder whose address is outside the United States or if you have an Army Post Office or a Fleet Post Office address. To exercise your rights, you must notify the subscription agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, at least three business days prior to the expiration date, and establish to the satisfaction of the subscription agent that you are permitted to exercise your subscription rights under applicable law. If you do not follow these procedures by such time, your rights will expire and will have no value.
Will I be charged a sales commission or a fee if I exercise my subscription rights?
We will not charge a brokerage commission or a fee to rights holders for exercising their subscription rights. However, if you exercise your subscription rights through a broker, dealer or nominee, you will be responsible for any fees charged by your broker, dealer or nominee.
Are there any conditions to my right to exercise my subscription rights?
The completion of the rights offering is not subject to the satisfaction of any conditions. However, we reserve the right to amend, extend, cancel, terminate or otherwise modify the rights offering at any time before completion of the rights offering for any reason. Please see
The Rights Offering Conditions to and Cancellation of the Rights Offering.
Moreover, we will not be required to issue to you our common stock pursuant to this rights offering if, in our opinion, you are required to obtain prior clearance or approval from any state or federal regulatory authorities to own or control the
shares and if, at the time this rights offering expires, you have not obtained this clearance or approval.
Will fractional common stock be issued in the rights offering?
No. We will not issue fractional subscription rights or cash in lieu of fractional subscription rights, but rather will round down fractional subscription rights to the nearest whole number. Holders will only be entitled to purchase a whole number of shares of common stock.
Has the board of directors made a recommendation regarding the rights offering?
Neither our board of directors nor the special committee of the board is making any recommendation as to whether or not you should exercise your subscription rights. You are urged to make your decision based on your own assessment of the rights offering, after considering all of the information herein, including the
Risk Factors
sections set forth in this prospectus, and of your best interests.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Is exercising my subscription rights risky?
Yes. The exercise of your subscription rights involves risks. Exercising your subscription rights involves the purchase of common stock and should be considered as carefully as you would consider any other equity investment. You should consult your own counsel, accountants and other advisers for legal, tax, business, financial and related advice regarding the purchase of our securities. Among other things, you should carefully consider the risks described in the section entitled
Risk Factors
in this prospectus
,

.
How many shares of common stock will be outstanding after the rights offering?
The number of shares of common stock that will be outstanding after the rights offering will depend on the number of shares that are purchased in the rights offering. If we sell all of the shares being offered, then we will issue approximately 27,777,673 shares of common stock. In that case, we will have approximately 57,879,835 shares of common stock outstanding after the rights offering. This would represent an increase of approximately 92% in the number of currently outstanding shares of common stock.
What will be the proceeds of the rights offering?
If we sell all the shares being offered, we will receive gross proceeds of approximately $15 million. We are offering shares in the rights offering with no minimum purchase requirement. As a result, there is no assurance we will be able to sell all of the shares being offered, and it is not likely that all of our stockholders will participate in the rights offering.
After I exercise my rights, can I change my mind and change or cancel my purchase?
No. Once you exercise and send in your subscription rights certificate and payment you cannot revoke, change or cancel the exercise of your subscription rights, even if you later learn information about the Company that you consider to be unfavorable and even if the market price of our common stock falls below the $0.54 per share subscription price. You should not exercise your subscription rights unless you are certain that you wish to purchase additional shares of our common stock at a price of $0.54 per share. Please see
The Rights Offering No Revocation or Change.
What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my subscription rights?
A holder will not recognize income or loss for United States federal income tax purposes in connection with the receipt or exercise of subscription rights in the rights offering. For a detailed discussion, please see
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.
You should consult your tax advisor as to the particular consequences to you of the rights offering.
If the rights offering is not completed, will my subscription payment be refunded to me?
Yes. If the rights offering is not completed, for any reason, any money received from subscribing stockholders will be refunded promptly, without interest or deduction.
If I exercise my subscription rights, when will I receive shares of common stock I purchased in the rights offering?
We will issue certificates representing your shares of our common stock, or credit your account at your broker, custodian bank or other nominee with shares of our common stock, electronically in registered, book-entry form only on our records or on the records of our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, that you purchased pursuant to your basic subscription and oversubscription rights as soon as practicable after the rights offering has expired and all proration calculations, reductions, and additions contemplated by the terms of the rights offering have been effected. We will not be able to
calculate the number of shares to be issued to each exercising holder until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day after the expiration date of the rights offering, which is the latest time by which subscription rights certificates may be delivered to the subscription agent under the guaranteed delivery procedures described under
The Rights Offering Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
THE RIGHTS OFFERING
The Subscription Rights
We are distributing to holders of our common stock on the record date, which is , 2014, at no charge, .92278 non-transferable subscription rights for every one share of our common stock owned as of the record date. As of the date of this prospectus, an aggregate of 30,102,162 shares of our common stock were outstanding.
Basic Subscription Rights
The subscription rights are evidenced by non-transferable rights certificates. Each subscription right entitles the holder to purchase one share of our common stock upon delivery of the required subscription documents and payment of the subscription price of $0.54 per share prior to the expiration of the rights offering. You may exercise all or a portion of your basic subscription right or you may choose not to exercise your rights. However, if you exercise less than your full basic subscription right, you will not be entitled to purchase shares pursuant to your over-subscription right. In order to properly exercise your basic
subscription right, you must deliver the subscription payment and a properly completed rights certificate, or if you hold your rights through a broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee, complete and return to your record holder the form entitled Beneficial Owner Election Form or such other appropriate documents as are provided by your record holder.
Only whole subscription rights are exercisable. Fractional subscription rights remaining after aggregating all of the rights distributed to you will be rounded down to the nearest whole number to ensure we offer no more than 27,777,673 shares of common stock in the rights offering. Any excess subscription payment received by the subscription agent will be returned, without interest, as soon as practicable after the expiration of the subscription period. We will deliver certificates representing shares of our common stock or credit your account at your broker, custodian bank or other nominee with shares of our common stock,
electronically in registered, book-entry form, purchased with the basic subscription right as soon as practicable.
Oversubscription Rights
If you fully exercise your basic subscription right and other holders of subscription rights do not fully exercise their basic subscription rights, you may also exercise an oversubscription right to purchase, at the same subscription price of $0.54 per share, additional shares of our common stock up to two times the number of shares you purchased under your basic subscription right. If an insufficient number of shares are available to fully satisfy all oversubscription right exercises by holders thereof, we will allocate the available common shares among shareholders who oversubscribed by multiplying the number of shares
requested by each shareholder through the exercise of oversubscription privileges by a fraction that equals (x) the number of shares available to be issued through oversubscription privileges divided by (y) the total number of shares requested by all subscribers through the exercise of their oversubscription privileges at the same subscription price of $0.54 per share. The subscription agent will return any excess payments without interest or deduction promptly after the expiration of the rights offering.
In order to properly exercise your oversubscription right, you must deliver the subscription payment and a properly completed rights certificate, or if you hold your rights through a broker, dealer, custodian bank or other nominee, complete and return to your record holder the form entitled
Beneficial Owner Election Form
or such other appropriate documents as are provided by your record holder. Because we will not know the total number of unsubscribed shares prior to the expiration of the rights offering, if you wish to maximize the number of shares you purchase pursuant to your oversubscription right, you
will need to deliver payment in an amount equal to the aggregate subscription price for the maximum number of shares of our common stock available to you under the oversubscription right (i.e., two times the number of shares (and the same aggregate subscription price) paid for the full exercise of your basic subscription right).
We can provide no assurances that you will actually be entitled to purchase the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of your oversubscription right in full at the expiration of the rights offering. We will not be able to satisfy your exercise of the oversubscription right if the rights offering is subscribed in full, and we will only honor an oversubscription right to the extent sufficient shares of our common stock are available following the exercise of subscription rights under the basic subscription right.
21
TABLE OF CONTENTS
As soon as practicable after the expiration date, the subscription agent will determine the number of shares of common stock that you may purchase pursuant to the oversubscription right. We will issue certificates representing your shares of our common stock, or credit your account at your broker, custodian bank or other nominee with shares of our common stock, electronically in registered, book-entry form only on our records or on the records of our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, that you purchased pursuant to your basic subscription and oversubscription rights as soon as practicable after the
rights offering has expired and all proration calculations, reductions, and additions contemplated by the terms of the rights offering have been effected. We will not be able to calculate the number of shares to be issued to each exercising holder until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day after the expiration date of the rights offering, which is the latest time by which subscription rights certificates may be delivered to the subscription agent under the guaranteed delivery procedures described under
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures
. If you request and pay for more shares than are allocated to you, the subscription agent will return any excess payments by mail, without interest or deduction as soon as practicable after the expiration of the subscription period. In connection with the exercise of the oversubscription right, banks, brokers and other nominee holders of subscription rights who act on behalf of beneficial owners will be
required to certify to us and to the subscription agent as to the aggregate number of subscription rights exercised, and the number of shares of common stock requested through the oversubscription right, by each beneficial owner on whose behalf the nominee holder is acting.
Missing or Incomplete Subscription Information
If you do not indicate the number of subscription rights being exercised, or the subscription agent does not receive the full subscription payment for the number of subscription rights that you indicate are being exercised, then you will be deemed to have exercised the maximum number of subscription rights that may be exercised with the aggregate subscription payment you delivered to the subscription agent. If we do not apply your full subscription payment to your purchase of shares of our common stock, the subscription agent will return any excess subscription payment received without interest or deduction, as soon as
practicable after the expiration of the subscription period.
Expiration of the Rights Offering and Amendments, Extensions and Termination
You may exercise your subscription rights at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2014, the expected expiration date for the rights offering, subject to extension. If you do not exercise your subscription rights before the expiration date of the rights offering, your subscription rights will expire and will have no value. We will not be required to issue shares of our common stock to you if the subscription agent receives your rights certificate or payment, after the expiration date, regardless of when you sent the rights certificate and payment,
unless you send the documents in compliance with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. We may choose to extend the rights offering at any time after the record date if we decide that changes in the market price of our common stock warrant an extension or if we decide that the degree of participation in this rights offering by holders of our common stock is less than the level we desire.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to amend or modify the terms of the rights offering. We also reserve the right to terminate the rights offering at any time prior to the expiration date for any reason. In the event the rights offering is terminated, the subscription agent will return all subscriptions funds.
If we elect to extend the expiration date of the rights offering, terminate the rights offering prior to the expiration date or amend or modify the terms of the rights offering, we will issue a press release announcing such extension, termination or amendment or modification no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the most recently announced expiration date or on the next business day after the date on which the rights offering is terminated or amended or modified, as applicable.
Conditions to and Cancellation of the Rights Offering

You should not assume or expect that, after the rights offering, our common stock will trade at or above the subscription price. We also cannot assure you that the market price of our common stock will not decline during or
after the rights offering. We urge you to obtain a current quote for our common stock before exercising your subscription rights.
Determination Regarding the Exercise of Your Subscription Rights
We will decide all questions concerning the timeliness, validity, form and eligibility of the exercise of your subscription rights and any such determinations by us will be final and binding.

We will not be required to make uniform determinations in all cases. We may reject the exercise of any of your subscription
26

rights because of any defect or irregularity. We will not accept any exercise of subscription rights until all irregularities have been waived by us or cured by you within such time as we decide, in our sole discretion. Our interpretations of the terms and conditions of the rights offering will be final and binding.
Neither we nor the subscription agent will be under any duty to notify you of any defect or irregularity in connection with your submission of subscription rights certificates and we will not be liable for failure to notify you of any defect or irregularity. We reserve the right to reject your exercise of subscription rights if your exercise is not in accordance with the terms of the rights offering or in proper form.

No Revocation or Change
Once you submit the form of subscription rights certificate to exercise any subscription rights, you are not allowed to revoke or change the exercise or request a refund of monies paid. All exercises of subscription rights are irrevocable, even if you learn information about us that you consider to be unfavorable. You should not exercise your subscription rights unless you are certain that you wish to purchase additional shares of our common stock at the subscription price.
Non-Transferability of the Rights
The subscription rights granted to you are non-transferable and, therefore, may not be assigned, gifted, purchased, sold or otherwise transferred to anyone else. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may transfer your rights to any affiliate (i.e. entities which control the recipient or are controlled by or under common control with the recipient) of yours and your rights also may be transferred to the estate of the recipient upon the death of such recipient. If the rights are transferred as permitted, evidence satisfactory to us that the transfer was proper must be received by us prior to the expiration date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The following discussion sets forth the material United States federal income tax consequences of the rights offering to holders of our common stock only. This discussion assumes that the holders of our common stock hold such common stock as a capital asset for United States federal income tax purposes. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, Internal Revenue Service rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and to differing interpretations.
The following discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis of all of the potential U.S. federal income tax considerations, applies only to holders that are United States persons (as defined below) and does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to holders in light of their particular circumstances or to holders who may be subject to special tax treatment under the Code, including, without limitation, holders who are dealers in securities or foreign currency, traders in securities who elect to mark their positions to market, non-United States persons (as defined below), insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, banks, financial institutions, broker-dealers, partnerships, holders who hold our common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or other risk reduction transaction, or who acquired our common stock pursuant to the exercise of compensatory stock options or otherwise as compensation.
As used in this discussion, the term United States person means a person that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual citizen or resident of the U.S., (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in the U.S. or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if (a) a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or
more U.S. holders have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (b) it has in effect a valid election to be treated as a U.S. holder. As used in this discussion, the term non-U.S. holder means a beneficial owner of common stock (other than a partnership or other entity treated as a partnership or as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. person.
The tax treatment of a partnership and each partner thereof will generally depend upon the status and activities of the partnership and such partner. A holder of our common stock that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to it and its partners.
This discussion is not intended to constitute a complete analysis with respect to any particular holder of all tax consequences relating to the receipt, exercise, disposition and expiration of the subscription rights and the ownership and disposition of our common stock with respect to that holder. The following discussion does not address the tax consequences of the rights offering or the related share issuance under estate, gift, foreign, state, or local tax laws. ACCORDINGLY, EACH HOLDER OF OUR COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE RIGHTS OFFERING AND THE RELATED
SHARE ISSUANCE TO SUCH HOLDER.
The distribution of subscription rights pursuant to the rights offering will be a non-taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes and the remaining portion of this discussion describes the United States federal income tax consequences of such treatment. However, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will take a similar view or would agree with the tax consequences described below. We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of the rights offering or the related share issuance.
THIS DISCUSSION IS PROVIDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY U.S. HOLDER. EACH U.S. HOLDER IS ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE RECEIPT, EXERCISE, EXPIRATION, AND DISPOSITION OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS RECEIVED IN THIS RIGHTS OFFERING IN LIGHT OF ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AND ANY CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR FOREIGN TAXING JURISDICTION.
30
TABLE OF CONTENTS
The United States federal income tax consequences to a holder of our common stock of the receipt and exercise of subscription rights under the rights offering will be as follows:
|
|
A holder will not recognize taxable income for United States federal income tax purposes in connection with the receipt of subscription rights in the rights offering.
|
|
|
A holders tax basis in its subscription rights will depend on the relative fair market value of the subscription rights received by such holder and the common stock owned by such holder at the time the subscription rights are distributed. If either (i) the fair market value of the subscription rights on the date such subscription rights are distributed is equal to at least 15% of the fair market value on such date of the common stock with respect to which the subscription rights are received or (ii) the holder elects, in its United States federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the subscription rights are received, to allocate part of its tax basis in such common stock to the subscription rights, then the holders tax basis in the common stock with respect to which the subscription rights are received will be allocated between the common stock and the subscription rights in proportion to their respective fair market
values on the date the subscription rights are distributed. If the subscription rights received by a holder have a fair market value that is less than 15% of the fair market value of the common stock owned by such holder at the time the subscription rights are distributed, the holders tax basis in its subscription rights will be zero unless the holder elects to allocate part of its adjusted tax basis in the common stock owned by such holder to the subscription rights in the manner described in the previous sentence. For purposes of example only, if the fair market value of the subscription rights being distributed to a particular holder is $1,000,000 and the fair market value of Entertainment Gaming Asias common stock held by such holder at the time of the distribution is $17,000,000, then the fair market value of the subscription rights represents 5.88% of the fair market value of such common stock (namely, 1,000,000/17,000,000). In that case, the basis of the subscription
rights received by the holder would be zero unless the holder elects to allocate part of the tax basis of the shares of common stock to the subscription rights.
|
|
|
A holder that allows the subscription rights received in the rights offering to expire will not recognize any gain or loss, and the tax basis in the common stock owned by such holder with respect to which such subscription rights were distributed will be equal to the tax basis in such common stock immediately before the receipt of the subscription rights in the rights offering.
|
|
|
A holder will not recognize any gain or loss upon the exercise of the subscription rights received in the rights offering. The tax basis in the common stock acquired through exercise of the subscription rights will equal the sum of the subscription price for the common stock and the holders tax basis, if any, in the rights as described above. The holding period for the common stock acquired through exercise of the subscription rights will begin on the date the subscription rights are exercised.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
USE OF PROCEEDS
We expect the proceeds from the rights offering to be approximately $15 million, assuming the exercise of all subscription rights, of which there can be no assurance, prior to the deduction of our expenses incurred in connection with the offering. We are undertaking the present rights offering for purposes of funding additional casinos and gaming clubs, expanding our slot participation operations as well as for general working capital for the gaming products operations. We are currently conducting a survey and analysis of potential projects and have commenced preliminary discussions with third parties with regard to certain
such gaming projects. However, as of the date of this prospectus there are no agreements, understandings or arrangements concerning our development of or participation in additional gaming projects and there is no assurance that we will be successful in securing such new projects.
Since we have not identified any such projects for your consideration, our management will have the discretion to allocate a large portion of the net proceeds of this offering towards projects you will not have had the opportunity to review and consider and to uses that you may not deem desirable.
Pending application, we intend to maintain the net proceeds in cash accounts and short-term securities.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
This discussion is intended to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from period to period and the primary factors that accounted for those changes. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.
General
Since September 2007, our primary business model has focused on our slot operations, consisting of our ownership and leasing of EGMs placed with venue owners on a revenue sharing basis within certain countries in Asia. Currently, our slot operations are located in Cambodia and the Philippines. We identify and secure venues for the placement of EGMs and, where warranted, casino management systems that track game performance and provide statistics on each installed EGM owned and leased by us. We contract with the venue owners or operators for the placement of the EGMs on a revenue sharing basis, and we acquire and install, at
our expense, the EGMs and other gaming systems and peripherals at the relevant gaming venues.
Commencing in May 2010, we began to develop and operate regional gaming casinos and slot clubs under our own Dreamworld brand.
We also engage in the design, manufacture and distribution of gaming chips and plaques under our Dolphin brand and distribution of other gaming products.
Gaming Operations
As of June 30, 2014, our gaming operations, which comprised our slot participation business, were located in two countries, Cambodia and the Philippines, and totaled 1,694 EGM seats in operation in six venues. In Cambodia, we had a total of 1,126 EGM seats in operation in three venues. In the Philippines, we had a total of 568 EGM seats in operation in three venues.
In Cambodia, our gaming operations largely focus on operating a substantial portion of the gaming machine area in prime casino floor locations at NagaWorld, a premier luxury destination gaming resort and the only licensed full service casino in and around the capital city of Phnom Penh. As of the date of this prospectus, we have 670 EGM seats in operation at NagaWorld. We and NagaWorld split the net win from all the 670 EGMs and certain operating costs related to marketing and floor staff on a respective basis of 25%/75%. Net win represents the monies wagered less payouts to customers. The net win from the 670 EGMs are settled
and our share is distributed daily to us. Our operations in NagaWorld are a primary contributor to our gaming operations revenue and cash flow.
Our gaming operations in Cambodia also include Thansur Bokor Highland Resort, a casino resort developed by leading Cambodian hotelier, Sokha Hotels and Resorts, in a tourist area of the Kampot Province. The resort opened in May 2012. As of the date of this prospectus, we have placed approximately 180 EGMs in this venue. We and Sokha split the net win and certain operating expenses for the placed EGMs on a respective basis of 27%/73%.
Our most recent gaming project in Cambodia is Dreamworld Club (Poipet). Unlike our other slot participation operations, we solely developed and operate this property. Dreamworld Club (Poipet) is a slot hall with approximately 300 EGM seats. It is located in the established gaming market of Poipet in the Banteay Meanchey Province of Northwestern Cambodia near the Thailand border. Dreamworld Club (Poipet) conducted its grand opening in May 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, at no expense to us, 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 are responsible for all capital expenditures for Dreamworld Club (Poipet) and the placement of EGMs. We and the local partner split the net win 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%.
35
TABLE OF CONTENTS
In the Philippines, our gaming 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%.
We intend to selectively pursue gaming projects for both slot participation and casino and gaming club development. For slot participation, we intend to pursue additional opportunities in certain markets in Indo-China and place our EGMs in prime locations on the gaming floors of major casinos and/or hotels in our target markets. For casino development, we intend to pursue projects in Indo-China and other growing gaming markets in Asia that will enable us to expand our market presence and increase brand equity in our Dreamworld name. We will endeavor to pursue projects that are relatively larger in size and investment than our
previous Dreamworld projects and in more established markets with higher levels of existing natural player traffic. There is no assurance we will be successful in establishing new projects with these characteristics or that any such projects will be successful.
Gaming Products
We engage in the design, manufacture and distribution of gaming chips and plaques and, until March 2013, we had been engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of non-gaming plastic products, mainly automotive parts. In March 2013, we sold the portion of our business dedicated to the manufacture and sale of non-gaming plastic products. In connection with the sale of the non-gaming plastic products operations, we relocated the gaming chips and plaques operations from Melbourne, Australia to Hong Kong. Commercial operations at the new Hong Kong facilities began in May 2013.
Our customer base for Dolphin gaming chips and plaques includes major casino resorts in Macau, Philippines, Australia and New Zealand. We have been expanding our footprint in the growing casino and gaming industry in Asia. For example, in 2013, we received our first order from the Philippines. This order was for a new major integrated casino resort in Manila and, in 2014, we secured a second major order from another new integrated casino resort under development in this market.
In addition, in the second half of 2013, we expanded the gaming products division to include the distribution of third-party gaming products. We have entered into two distribution agreements, however, as of June 30, 2014, we have not recorded a material amount of revenue from these agreements.
Discontinued Operations
Dreamworld Casino (Pailin), a small regional casino we developed and operated, opened in May 2012 and closed in June 2014. Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) was located in the Pailin Province of Northwestern Cambodia next to the Thailand border. It was constructed on land leased from a local land owner and, in consideration, the land owner was entitled to receive a monthly rental fee in the amount of $5,000 and 20% of the profit before depreciation, which consisted of the total gross revenue of the casino less any payouts paid to customers, operating expenses, and gaming and non-gaming taxes on the casinos revenue. Dreamworld
Casino (Pailin) measured approximately 16,000 square feet and, as of December 31, 2013, housed 88 EGM seats and table games leased to a third-party operator.
The performance of Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) did not meet our expectations primarily due to an insufficient level of player traffic and the high costs associated with acquiring a quality player base in this market. In an effort to provide recurring revenue and reduce operating costs for these operations, in September 2013, we began to transition to a leasing model for the table games under which third-party operators would pay us a fixed monthly rental fee per table. However, due to an inability to secure a long-term third-party table game operator, along with the low level of natural player traffic and the political unrest
in Thailand, we decided to cease operations of Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) effective June 1, 2014.
On June 20, 2014, we entered into an agreement to sell 100% of the issued capital shares of Dreamworld Leisure (Pailin) Limited, our wholly-owned Cambodian subsidiary established for purposes of owning and operating Dreamworld Casino (Pailin), to a local Cambodian individual, who is a relative of our partner in the operations. Pending certain government approvals, the sale is expected to close in the next few months, at which time we intend to recognize the anticipated gain on the disposal of the entity.
We had incurred operating losses at Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) since the inception of its operations. In connection with our 2013 annual valuation review of the Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) facility and gaming
36
TABLE OF CONTENTS
assets, and as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $2.5 million as of December 31, 2013 for Dreamworld Casino (Pailin), which represented our aggregate capital expenditure for the facilities.
On March 28, 2013, we sold a portion of our subsidiary, Dolphin Products Pty Limited, 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 our gaming chips and plaques operations and, beginning in October 2013, the distribution of third-party gaming products to select locations in Indo-China and the Philippines.
All related historical revenues and expenses from Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) and the non-gaming plastic products operations have been reclassified as discontinued operations.

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 six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
|
(1)
|
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings 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 companys 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, or 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, 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.

Total revenues decreased approximately $1.4 million to $9.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to approximately $11.0 million in the same period of the prior year due to decreases in both business divisions. Revenue from gaming operations decreased primarily as a result of lower average daily net win per unit from NagaWorld and the Philippines, as described in greater detail below. Revenue from the gaming products division decreased as a result of lower sales of gaming chips and plaques to existing customers compared to the prior year period.
Gross profit decreased approximately $1.4 million to $2.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to approximately $3.8 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease was a result of lower gaming operations revenue from NagaWorld and a higher gross margin loss for the gaming products division due to lower production volumes, certain production inefficiencies and under-absorption of fixed costs compared to the prior year period. This was partially offset by higher gross profit for the Philippines primarily due to lower depreciation expense as a result of the increase in fully depreciated gaming
assets for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.
Operating loss from continuing operations increased approximately $901,000 to a loss of $638,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to operating income from continuing operations of

TABLE OF CONTENTS
approximately $263,000 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 partially offset by lower operating expenses primarily due to the reversal of a previously accrued one-time other tax liability of approximately $448,000 related to the Philippines operations and lower stock-based compensation expense.
Net loss from continuing operations increased approximately $709,000 to a loss of $657,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to net income from continuing operations of approximately $52,000 in the same period of the prior year. The increase in net loss from continuing operations was primarily a result of the higher operating loss partially offset by a positive foreign currency differential of approximately $173,000 due to the decrease in the value of U.S. dollar denominated payables for the Philippines operations as a result of favorable changes in the peso to dollar exchange rate. Net loss decreased
approximately $1.7 million to $1.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to a net loss of approximately $2.8 million in the same period of the prior year. The net loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 included a net loss from discontinued operations of approximately $395,000 compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of approximately $2.8 million in the prior year period.

Service revenue represents reimbursements of certain expenses, which for accounting purposes, are included in the revenue and grossed up in the cost of gaming operations.
|
Revenue from gaming operations decreased approximately $1.1 million to $8.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to approximately $9.4 milion for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower revenue from NagaWorld and the Philippines partially offset by incremental revenue from Dreamworld Club (Poipet).
Gaming operations revenue for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 included approximately $508,000 and $474,000, respectively, in service revenue related to the reimbursement of net shared costs from casino operators.
Consolidated average daily net win per machine decreased $30 to $107 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $137 in the prior year period due to declines from both the Cambodia and Philippines operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Revenue from Cambodia decreased approximately $938,000 to $6.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to approximately $7.2 million in the prior year period primarily as a result of a decrease in average daily net win per unit from NagaWorld. This was partially offset by incremental revenue from Dreamworld Club (Poipet) and an improvement in average daily net win per unit from Thansur Bokor.
NagaWorld contributed approximately $5.5 million in revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately $1.3 million compared to $6.8 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower player traffic as a result of political and labor strikes in Phnom Penh in early 2014 and higher jackpot payouts during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.
Cambodia average daily net win per unit decreased $48 to $124 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $172 for the prior year period. The decline was primarily due to lower average daily net win per unit in Nagaworld for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 and the inclusion of Dreamworld Club (Poipet), which has lower average daily net win per unit, in the calculation for the full six-month period ended June 30, 2014.
Revenue from the Philippines decreased approximately $225,000 to $1.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to approximately $1.7 million in the prior year period. Philippines average daily net win per unit decreased $7 to $73 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $80 in the prior year period. The decreases in revenue and average daily net win per unit were primarily due to lower player traffic resulting from increased competition from a new integrated casino resort in Manila as well as renovation and outside construction activity, which limited player traffic for one of our venues in
the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.
Gross profit from gaming operations decreased approximately $787,000 to $3.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to approximately $4.2 million in the prior year period primarily due to lower revenue. This was partially offset by higher gross profit for the Philippines operations due to lower depreciation expense as a result of the increase in fully depreciated gaming assets in the six-month period ended June 30, 2014. Cost of gaming operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 included approximately $1.8 million in depreciation of gaming property and equipment, $1.2 million of amortization
of casino contracts, $126,000 of amortization of other gaming related intangibles and $1.7 million of other operating costs. Cost of gaming operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 included approximately $2.2 million of depreciation of gaming property and equipment, $1.2 million of amortization of casino contracts, $126,000 of amortization of other gaming related intangibles and $1.7 million of other operating costs.
As of June 30, 2014, we had a total of 1,927 EGM seats of which 233 were held in inventory and 1,694 were in operation. Of the 1,694 EGM seats in operation, 1,126 were in three venues in Cambodia and 568 were in three venues in the Philippines.

EGMs and systems used in operations as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 included 12 EGM seats, which were in operation on a trial basis subject to achieving certain performance objectives prior to acceptance and, therefore, their carrying values were not included.
|
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the returns on gaming 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 opened Dreamworld Club (Poipet) in Cambodia with approximately 300 EGM seats.

Gaming Products
. Gaming products revenue decreased approximately $254,000 to $1.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to approximately $1.6 million in the same period of the prior year mainly as a result of lower reorders from existing customers in the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.
Gross margin loss on gaming products increased approximately $626,000 to approximately $1.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to approximately $452,000 in the same period of the prior year. The increase in gross margin loss was mainly due to the lower production volumes and production inefficiencies due to delays in installation of certain new automation equipment.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, we began production of two large gaming chip and plaque orders received earlier in the year. These orders are anticipated to be delivered in the second half of 2014.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $244,000 to $2.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $2.8 million in the same period of the prior year period. In addition to a start-up cost of approximately $89,000 related to the soft opening of Dreamworld Club (Poipet) in the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, travel and entertainment, rent, utilities and other office expenses decreased approximately $137,000 primarily due to fewer gaming projects and various cost reduction initiatives. Other expenses decreased
$452,000 primarily as a result of a reversal in the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 of a previously accrued one-time other tax liability related to the Philippines operations. The decreases were also a result of approximately $109,000 in gaming products sales commission in the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 as the distribution agreement was terminated in mid-2013 with the replacement of in-house sales resources. The decreases were partially offset by an increase of approximately $305,000 in salaries and wages, advertising and investor relations primarily due to increased sales and marketing activities in relation to the expansion of the gaming products operations. Legal, consulting and accounting expenses increased approximately $194,000 mainly as a result of higher fees for new and completed projects. Freight, printing and office expenses increased approximately $44,000 primarily due to the increased scale of the gaming products operations.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
. Stock-based compensation expense decreased approximately $304,000 to $141,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $445,000 in the prior year period primarily due to fewer new option grants issued and a decrease in average stock prices during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to the prior year period.
Gain on Disposition of Assets
. Gain on disposition of assets was approximately $8,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 primarily related to the sale of non-performing EGMs and systems. There were no dispositions of assets for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.
Impairment of Assets
. Impairment charges of approximately $19,000 were recognized for long-lived assets for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014. There were no impairment charges for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Product Development Expenses
. Product development expenses increased approximately $1,000 to $156,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to approximately $155,000 in the prior year period as there were no significant changes in production development efforts.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
. Total depreciation and amortization expenses increased by approximately $24,000 to $99,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to approximately $75,000 in the same period of the prior year primarily as a result of an increase in fixed assets for the new gaming products manufacturing plant and operations in Hong Kong.
Other Income/(Expenses)
. Other income was approximately $11,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to expenses of approximately $163,000 in the prior year period. The increase in other income was primarily due to changes in foreign currencies. Foreign currency gains were approximately $1,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to losses of approximately $172,000 for the same period in the prior year. The favorable differential was primarily due to the decrease in the value of U.S. dollar denominated payables for the Philippines operations, where the functional currency is
the Philippine peso compared to an increase in the value of U.S. denominated payables in the same period in the prior year. In addition, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, the U.S. dollar had a comparatively lower appreciation relative to the Australian dollar resulting in lower depreciation of receivables, which were denominated in Australian dollars, related to the Dolphin Australia assets that were sold in March 2013.
Income Tax Provisions
. Effective tax rates for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were approximately (4.7)% and 48.2%, respectively. We continue to review the treatment of tax losses and future income generated by our foreign subsidiaries to minimize taxation costs.

Total revenue decreased approximately $3.9 million to approximately $21.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to approximately $25.5 million in the prior year primarily due to decreases in both gaming products and gaming operations revenue. Revenue from gaming operations decreased primarily as a result of lower average daily net win per unit from NagaWorld and lower revenue from the Philippines, as described in greater detail below, partially offset by incremental revenue from Dreamworld Club (Poipet),

TABLE OF CONTENTS
which had its grand opening in May 2013. Revenue from gaming products decreased compared to the prior year due to lower production volumes for the year ended December 31, 2013. This was primarily a result of the shortened production period due to time spent on the relocation of the manufacturing facilities from Australia to Hong Kong, which commenced in March 2013 and was completed in May 2013. In addition, gaming products revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 was comprised solely of reorders from existing customers compared to the prior year, which benefited from two large one-time orders totaling approximately $3.5
million for a new casino opening and the rebranding of an existing casino customer.
Gross profit decreased approximately $3.6 million to $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to approximately $10.7 million in the prior year due to a decline in gross margin for the gaming operations and a gross margin loss for the gaming products business compared to a gross profit in the prior year. Gaming operations gross profit declined due to lower revenue from NagaWorld and pre-operating costs for Dreamworld Club (Poipet) partially offset by higher gross profit for the Philippines due to lower depreciation expense as a result of the increase in fully depreciated gaming assets during the year ended
December 31, 2013. Gaming products incurred a gross margin loss as a result of lower production volumes, one-off start-up costs of approximately $300,000 related to the plant relocation and higher production inefficiencies due to certain machine and tooling issues during the initial ramp up of the new facility.
Operating loss from continuing operations increased approximately $3.5 million to a loss of $983,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to operating income from continuing operations of approximately $2.5 million in the prior year. The increase in operating loss from continuing operations was primarily a result of lower gross profit, as explained above, partially offset by lower operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 2013 and higher impairment expense due to the write-down of non-redeployable EGMs related to the termination of slot participation contracts for under-performing venues in the year ended
December 31, 2012. Net loss from continuing operations increased approximately $4.2 million to a loss of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to net income from continuing operations of approximately $2.8 million in the prior year. The increase in net loss from continuing operations was primarily a result of the operating loss as explained above, foreign currency losses of approximately $257,000 compared to gains of approximately $295,000 in the prior year and tax expenses as compared to tax benefits in the prior year.
Net loss increased approximately $9.1 million to a loss of $7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to net income of approximately $1.8 million in the prior year. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 included a net loss from discontinued operations of approximately $6.0 million compared to net income from discontinued operations of approximately $1.1 million in the prior year.

Service revenue represents reimbursements of certain expenses, which for accounting purposes, are included in the revenue and grossed up in the cost of gaming operations.
|
Revenue from gaming operations decreased approximately $866,000 to approximately $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to revenue of approximately $19.0 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily a result of lower slot revenue from NagaWorld and the Philippines operations partially offset by incremental revenue from Dreamworld Club (Poipet) and higher service revenue in the year ended December 31, 2013.
Gaming operations revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 included approximately $935,000 and $417,000, respectively, in service revenue related to the reimbursement of net shared costs from casino operators.
Revenue from Cambodia decreased approximately $776,000 to $13.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $14.7 million in the prior year primarily as a result of a decrease in average daily net win per unit from NagaWorld partially offset by incremental revenue from Dreamworld Club (Poipet) and improvement in average daily net win per unit from Thansur Bokor.
Gaming operations in NagaWorld contributed $13.0 million in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $14.1 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower player traffic as a result of an observed, week-long official mourning period for the deceased former King of Cambodia and a several-day strike by NagaWorld workers, both of which occurred in February 2013, and protests in Phnom Penh related to the national elections held in July 2013 and labor unrest, which occurred in the second half of 2013.
Average daily net win per unit for Cambodia decreased $59 to $144 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $203 for the prior year. The decline was primarily due to the addition of EGMs in Dreamworld Club (Poipet) in May 2013 and Thansur Bokor in May 2012 in the calculation as these venues have relatively lower average daily net win per unit as well as a decline in NagaWorld average daily net win per unit for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Revenue from the Philippines decreased approximately $608,000 to $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to approximately $3.9 million in the prior year primarily as a result of higher jackpot payouts and increased competition due to the opening of a new casino resort in Manila in early 2013.
45
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Average daily net win per unit for the Philippines increased $2 to $77 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $75 in the prior year due to the lower installed machine base. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we closed two underperforming venues in the Philippines, which resulted in a reduced base of under-performing EGMs. Due to the increasing competition for our venues in this market, we are focused on enhancing returns on assets in the Philippines through targeted marketing programs and strategic management of the machine mix.
Gross profit from gaming operations decreased approximately $1.6 million to $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to approximately $9.4 million in the prior year primarily due to lower average daily net win per unit from NagaWorld and pre-operating costs for Dreamworld Club (Poipet). This was partially offset by higher gross profit for the Philippines due to lower depreciation expense as a result of the increase in fully depreciated gaming assets in the year ended December 31, 2013. Cost of gaming operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 included approximately $4.2 million of depreciation of gaming
and property equipment, $2.5 million of amortization of casino contracts, $252,000 of amortization of other gaming related intangibles and $3.4 million of other operating costs. Cost of gaming operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 included approximately $4.6 million of depreciation of gaming and property equipment, $2.5 million of amortization of casino contracts, $252,000 of amortization of other gaming related intangibles and $1.8 million of other operating costs.
As of December 31, 2013, we had a total of 1,964 EGM seats of which 204 EGM seats were held in inventory and 1,760 EGM seats were in operation. Of the 1,760 EGM seats in operation, 1,197 EGM seats were in four venues in Cambodia (including 88 EGM seats at Dreamworld Casino (Pailin), which ceased operations in June 2014) and 563 EGM seats were in three venues in the Philippines.

EGMs and systems used in operations as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 included 12 EGM seats, which were in operation on a trial basis subject to achieving certain performance objectives prior to acceptance and, as a result, their carrying values were not included.
|
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we added 30 EGM seats on a participation basis in Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) and opened Dreamworld Club (Poipet) in Cambodia with approximately 300 EGM seats. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we added approximately 200 EGM seats at Thansur Bokor in Cambodia and 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 expectations.
Gaming Products
. Gaming products revenue decreased approximately $3.1 million to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to approximately $6.5 million in the prior year primarily as a result of lower production volumes during the year ended December 31, 2013. This was primarily a result of a shortened production period due to time spent on the relocation of the manufacturing facilities from Australia to Hong Kong, which commenced in March 2013 and was completed in May 2013. The decline was also a result of revenue from gaming products for the year ended December 31, 2013 consisting solely
of typical reorders from existing customers compared to the prior year, which benefited from two significantly large orders totaling approximately $3.5 million related an initial order for a new casino opening in the Philippines and a rebranding order for an existing customers casino in Australia.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Gross margin loss on gaming products increased approximately $2.0 million to a loss of $771,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to gross profit of approximately $1.3 million in the prior year. The increase in gross margin loss was mainly due to lower production volumes, one-off start-up costs and production inefficiencies related to the plant relocation and ramp up of the new facility.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $229,000 to $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to approximately $6.5 million in the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2013, salaries and wages, insurance and rent increased approximately $311,000 primarily due to the increased scale of operations and headcount for both the gaming operations and gaming products divisions. Other expenses increased approximately $667,000 primarily as a result of a $482,000 one-time accrued tax liability related to the Philippines
operations. The increases were partially offset by decreases in consulting, accounting, advertising, travel and entertainment expenses, which decreased approximately $237,000 mainly as a result of lower fees for new and completed projects and less traveling for new gaming projects. Legal, investor relations, utilities, printing and other expenses decreased approximately $288,000 primarily due to fewer gaming projects and various cost reduction initiatives. Sales commissions decreased approximately $297,000 primarily due to lower gaming products sales.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
. Stock-based compensation expense decreased approximately $51,000 to $789,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to approximately $840,000 in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in fair value of the stock price during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Product Development Expenses
. Product development expenses decreased approximately $134,000 to $261,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to approximately $395,000 in the prior year primarily as a result of decreased activities for new product development due to time spent on the relocation of the gaming products manufacturing plant during the year ended December 31, 2013 and increased activities related to our plaques during the year ended December 31, 2012.
Loss/Gain on Dispositions of Assets
. Loss on disposition of assets was approximately $88,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 due to the disposal of obsolete plant and machinery. Gain on disposition of assets was approximately $44,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 due to the disposal of non-performing EGMs and systems.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased approximately $41,000 to $174,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to approximately $215,000 in the prior year primarily as a result of an increase in fully depreciated fixed assets for the gaming operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $75,000 primarily related to the write-down of non-performing and non-redeployable EGMs. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $339,000 primarily related of the impairment of non-redeployable EGMs related to the termination of certain slot participation contracts during the year as the venues were not performing up to expectations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Other Income/(Expenses)
. Other expenses were approximately $252,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to income of approximately $256,000 in the prior year. The increase in expenses was primarily driven by foreign currency losses compared to gains in the prior year period. The negative differential in foreign exchange of approximately $552,000 was due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies in the markets in which we operate. The increase in expenses was partially offset by a reduction in interest expense and finance fees in the aggregate amount of approximately
$101,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the prior year.
Income Tax Provision
. Effective tax rates were approximately 11.4% and 2.9% for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The fixed obligation tax arrangement for Cambodia is subject to annual renewal and negotiation and was renewed for both EGT Cambodia and Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) for 2014. The fixed tax expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses for EGT Cambodia and in discontinued operations for Dreamworld Casino (Pailin).
Financial Condition
As of June 30, 2014, we had total cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.7 million and working capital of approximately $5.8 million. Our cash and working capital during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 was positively impacted by the cash received from gaming operations but was negatively impacted by the expansion of the gaming products production facilities and purchases of EGMs for gaming operations in the amount of $2.4 million.
As part of our growth strategy for gaming operations, we expect to purchase EGMs to supplement existing inventory and source future targeted deployment plans. As part of our growth strategy for gaming products, we intend to incur costs related to increasing capacity and enhancing production efficiencies for these operations. We also continue to pursue other new gaming projects including casinos and gaming clubs, both under our Dreamworld brand and on a participation basis with venue owners, however, there is no guarantee we will be successful in securing any of these new projects.
We presently expect that our capital expenditures for the remainder of 2014 will be approximately $1.0 to $1.5 million. This includes approximately $600,000 to $800,000 for EGMs and systems purchases, upgrades and general maintenance for gaming operations and approximately $400,000 to $700,000 for equipment purchases and general maintenance and working capital for the gaming products facility. We anticipate our available working capital, along with cash expected to be generated from operations, will allow us to meet our capital expenditure needs through 2014.
As noted above, however, we continue to pursue additional 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 through 2014 would increase beyond the $1.0 to $1.5 million currently contemplated. At this time, we are unable to predict the amount of additional capital expenditures that could be required in 2014 for such potential projects. However, we have undertaken this proposed rights offering for purposes of raising additional capital sufficient to finance one or more additional casino and gaming 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 capital expenditures. We will also endeavor to obtain any additional required 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 prospectus for receipt of additional capital and there are no assurances we will be able to acquire additional capital if, and when, needed on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
OUR BUSINESS
General
Since September 2007, our primary business model has focused on our slot operations, consisting of the ownership and leasing of EGMs placed with venue owners on a revenue sharing basis within certain countries in Asia. Currently, our slot operations are located in Cambodia and the Philippines. We identify and secure venues for the placement of EGMs and, where warranted, casino management systems that track game performance and provide statistics on each installed EGM owned and leased by us. We contract with the venue owners or operators for the placement of the EGMs on a revenue sharing basis, and we acquire and install, at
our expense, the EGMs and other gaming systems and peripherals at the relevant gaming venues.
Commencing in May 2010, we began to develop and operate regional gaming casinos and slot halls under our own Dreamworld brand.
We also engage in the design, manufacture and distribution of gaming chips and plaques under our Dolphin brand and distribution of other gaming products.
Our Markets
Cambodia
We believe that Cambodia provides us with opportunities to pursue additional slot participation and casino development projects as well as potential customers for our gaming products.
Economy
. The Cambodian economy continues to demonstrate strength as the rest of the global economy improves. Cambodias GDP grew by 7.4% in 2013 with inflation measured at 4.7% over the same period (World Bank, The East Asia and Pacific Update, April 2014). Some specific drivers of Cambodian economic growth were the garment industry and tourism as well as continued inflows of foreign direct investment. China is the biggest investor in Cambodia, with cumulative investment in the country totaling $9.6 billion from 1994 to 2013 (Source: Council for the Development of Cambodia).
International tourist arrivals continue to experience solid growth, reaching 4.2 million visitors in 2013, up 17.5% compared to 2012. The top three countries where visitors originated were Vietnam, China and Korea, which collectively accounted for 41% of total tourist arrivals, up 16% in 2013 over the prior year. Visitors from China increased by 39% in 2013 to 463,123 visitors over the prior year (Source: Ministry of Tourism, Cambodia, Tourism Statistics Report, 2013).
The future outlook for Cambodias economy remains favorable. For 2014, the IMF projects Cambodias GDP growth at 7.2% and inflation at 3.0% (Source: World Economic Outlook Database, April 2014) and the World Bank projects foreign direct investment inflows of $1.2 billion. Tourism is expected to remain one of the key drivers of Cambodias economic growth and, in June 2013, the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism revised upward its forecast for international tourist arrivals by 2020 from 7.0 million to 7.5 million. Cambodia has a large catchment area with a conservative estimate of more than 300 million people within a
four-hour flight radius from Phnom Penh and accessibility to the market is improving. The number of direct weekly flights to Cambodia continues to increase and expansion efforts are underway to double the capacity of each the Phnom Penh and Siem Reap International Airports from 2.5 million to 5.0 million passengers per year by 2015 and 2016, respectively.
Gaming Market
. We believe that Cambodias gaming market is fragmented with one large operator and many smaller players. NagaWorld, a casino owned and operated by NagaCorp (3918.HK), has the only gaming license within a 200 km radius of Phnom Penh (except the Cambodia-Vietnam border area, Bokor, Kirirom Mountains and Sihanoukville). Their license is valid for 70 years from January 1995 and is exclusive within the designated area until 2035. As of December 31, 2013, NagaWorld featured approximately 700 hotel rooms, 172 gaming tables, 1,543 slot machines and conference facilities. Naga2, which is currently
under construction and is expected to open in late 2016, is anticipated to add approximately 1,000 hotel rooms, up to 300 gaming tables, 500 slot machines, retail space and more conference facilities to the Phnom Penh market (Souce: NagaCorp 2013 Annual Report).
In addition to NagaWorld, Cambodia has more than 20 small casinos around the country outside of NagaCorps monopoly zone, which combined generate around as much gross gaming revenue as NagaWorld
49
TABLE OF CONTENTS
(Source: Citi Research, Head-to-Head: Frontier Gaming, March 12, 2014). These venues are primarily located near the Thai and Vietnamese borders, which provide feeder markets for these casinos given their close proximity and restrictive gaming regulations in their own countries.
The above-mentioned Citi report projects Cambodias gross gaming revenue to expand 14% to $723 million in 2014 and 10% to $792 million in 2015. The opening of Naga2 by late 2016 would increase Cambodias gross gaming revenue to an estimated $1.1 billion in 2017. It forecasts that the Cambodia gaming market will gradually grow to $1.3 billion by 2020, representing a six-year compound annual growth rate of 10%.
Philippines
We believe that the Philippines provide us with opportunities to increase sales and expand our customer base for our gaming products as well as to pursue additional slot participation projects.
Economy
. In 2013, the Philippines was ranked the 40
th
largest economy (nominal GDP, IMF, World Economic Outlook, April 2014) and the 13
th
most populous country in the world (The World Factbook 2013 14. Washington, D.C.: Central Intelligence Agency, 2013). GDP rose 7.2% in 2013 and 6.8% in 2012 (Source: Philippine Statistics Authority), the fastest two-year pace since 1954 55, according to Bloomberg. The Philippines is likely to sustain high growth in the medium-term. The IMF forecasts GDP growth at approximately 6.5% for both 2014 and 2015 (World
Economic Outlook Database, April 2014). The World Bank predicts that domestic consumption, which comprises over 70% of GDP, will remain the key driver of overall growth, supported by sustained growth of remittances and business process outsourcing revenues, a positive consumer outlook and strong growth of tourism. Government spending and private investment are projected to provide the remaining sources of growth (The World Bank, Philippine Economic Update, March 2014).
The government is also focused on increasing tourism in the country. It is making strides to improve transportation infrastructure by investing in roadways and airports, expanding their airports service capacities and increasing the number of flights from source markets into major tourist areas within the Philippines. International tourist arrivals to the Philippines for 2013 increased 9.6% to 4.7 million visitors. Koreans remained the biggest source market with a 24.9% share in the total inbound visitors, up 13% during 2013 over the prior year, followed by the United States with a 14.4% share and Japan with a 9.3% share.
(Source: Department of Tourism, Philippines).
Gaming Market
. The Philippines is an established and growing gaming market with an estimated 35 casinos and numerous slot clubs throughout the country. PAGCOR is the monopoly operator (with the exception of the Cagayan SEZ, which issues its own licenses and where casinos are only open to foreigners) with 22 casinos and 23 slot clubs. It is responsible for conducting and establishing gaming pools and casinos and regulates all casinos.
With the goal to increase tourism, generate jobs and increase earnings for the national government, the Philippines is developing Entertainment City, a government sponsored initiative to develop a Las Vegas-like gaming and entertainment area within the Philippines. The project site is located on approximately 300 acres of reclaimed land in the Manila Bay area of Paranaque City. In 2008, Belle Corp, Bloomberry Resorts, Universal Entertainment (also known as Tiger Resorts or Aruze), and Travellers International Hotel Group (a joint venture between Genting Hong Kong and Alliance Global Group) each received gaming licenses from
PAGCOR. Bloomberry opened Solaire, the first casino in Entertainment City, in March 2013. Belle Corp with its partner Melco Crown Philippines is expected to open City of Dreams Manila in the second half of 2014, with Bayshore likely to open in 2017 and with Tiger Resorts likely to open in 2018.
Philippines gross gaming revenue was $2.2 billion for 2013. While this was down from prior estimates of $2.5 billion, primarily due to lower-than-expected tourist arrivals from mainland China and Hong Kong largely as a result of a territorial conflict pertaining to the sovereignty of islands in the South China Sea, it was up 10% from 2012 (Source: PAGCOR).
Citi Research expects new casinos in the Philippines to drive demand in the next two years. In 2014, it forecasts gross gaming revenue to rise 22% to $2.4 billion, reflecting the first full year of operations of Solaire and the opening of City of Dreams Manila. In 2015, it forecasts gross gaming revenue to expand 33% to
50
TABLE OF CONTENTS
$3.2 billion, with City of Dreams Manila operating for a full year. After 2015, the Philippines is not expected to see any new casino supply until Bayshore and Tiger Resorts open. By 2020, it forecasts Philippines gross gaming revenue to reach $5.8 billion, representing a six-year compound annual growth rate of 16%. (Source: Citi Research, Head-to-Head: Frontier Gaming, March 12, 2014).
The Philippine gaming market benefits from no gaming restrictions for its local citizens and a central location within the Pacific Rim region, where many countries, such as China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand and Japan have prohibited or restricted the ability to gamble in their borders. Manila is just 1.5 to 5 hours by flight from many major cities in Asia.
Casino Supply Growth in Asia Pacific
We believe that the anticipated growth in casino supply in Asia Pacific provides us with opportunities to increase sales and expand our customer base for our gaming products.
The success of casino and integrated resorts in Macau and Singapore has spurred gaming growth across the region as many countries governments seek to develop local tourism to capture the increasingly affluent Asian market. Driven by attractive economic growth and an increase in disposable income, the demand in many Asian countries for gaming entertainment is growing. To meet this demand, the amount of casino supply is expected to experience significant growth over the next several years.
In addition to the Philippines mentioned above, markets such as Macau and South Korea have major planned casino developments. In Macau, a new wave of supply is about to become available with Galaxy Macau Phase 2 and Melco Crown's Studio City in COTAI expected to open in 2015 as well as a number of integrated resort projects in COTAI by Wynn, MGM, Venetian and SJM in the next few years. South Korea has granted two gaming licenses in the Incheon area and has integrated casino resort projects in Jeju pending casino licenses. Japan is also considering developing casinos, a market which CSLA Ltd. estimates could be valued at as
much as $40 billion a year as early as 2025. In the greater Asia Pacific region, Australia expects to expand its casino capacity with the anticipated future development of another major integrated casino resort in both Sydney and Brisbane.
Gaming Operations
Our gaming operations presently consist of our slot participation business and the development and operation of casinos and gaming venues under our Dreamworld brand. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no casino operations.
For our slot participation operations, we contract with the venue owners or operators for the placement of EGMs on a revenue-sharing basis and directly acquire and install, at our expense, the EGMs and other gaming peripherals at the relevant gaming venues. The target market for our EGM participation business is hotels and resorts and various other gaming venues in certain markets in Asia. We focus on underserved gaming markets that we believe have the potential for significant growth. Many of the targeted venue owners have little or no gaming operations experience.
We utilize EGMs from leading manufacturers, including Aristocrat Technologies, International Game Technology and WMS Gaming. As of June 30, 2014, we had an inventory of 233EGMs suitable for deployment and believe, given our casino development plans, that we will need to supplement our existing inventory with the purchase of a certain number of new and used EGMs from cash on hand and cash from operations over the next 12 months.
We contract with the venue owners for the leasing and maintenance of the EGMs on a revenue sharing basis, pursuant to which the venue owners receive between 65% and 85% of the net win from the operation of the EGMs. Net win represents the monies wagered less payouts to customers and we earn between 15% and 35% of the net win. The venue owners are typically responsible for all costs associated with the venue, such as lease or mortgage payments, utilities, property taxes, repairs, etc., and we and the venue owners split the costs associated with the gaming operations based on the same ratio that we share in the net win.
We assist the venue owners in the design, development and marketing of the gaming venues into which we lease our EGMs and related systems, including:

|
|
Developing the technical and network design, layout and overall space configuration of the gaming floors in order to best utilize and leverage the available space and present an appealing environment to customers;
|
|
|
Selecting the optimal mix of EGMs for the properties to optimize the economic potential of the gaming floors and overall experience for the venue owners customers; and
|
|
|
Recruiting and training the necessary gaming floor personnel for the operations and maintenance of the EGMs and back-of-the-house accounting.
|
In most cases, the gaming floor personnel are our employees although their salaries and related expenses are shared with the venue owners according to our net win sharing ratio. In addition, we maintain all performance data and provide ongoing technical and operations support in order to optimize game performance throughout the gaming floor.
As of June 30, 2014, our gaming operations were concentrated in Cambodia and the Philippines. In Cambodia, we had a total of 1,126 EGM seats in operation in three venues. In the Philippines, we had a total of 568 EGM seats in operation in three venues.
Cambodia Operations
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 premier luxury destination gaming resort and the only licensed full service casino in and around the capital city of Phnom Penh. In December 2008, we established a relationship with NagaCorp Ltd., the owner and operator of NagaWorld, to place EGMs on a revenue-sharing or participation basis at NagaWorld and jointly operate those EGMs with them. We subsequently amended our contract and expanded our relationship with NagaWorld to 670 EGM seats under contract. 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 this agreement, 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 Hotels and Resorts, in a tourist area of the Kampot Province. The resort opened in May 2012 but portions of the initial phase of the property including the entertainment complex were not completed until early 2013. As of the date of this prospectus, we have placed approximately 180 EGMs in this venue. Under the terms of our agreement with Sokha, 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 net win and certain
operating expenses for the placed EGMs on a respective basis of 27%/73%. The contract duration is five years commencing May 2012.
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 slot hall with approximately 300 EGM seats. It is located in the established gaming market of Poipet in the Banteay Meanchey Province of Northwestern Cambodia near the Thailand border. Dreamworld Club (Poipet) held its grand opening in May 2013.
Dreamworld Club (Poipet) operates under a machine operation and participation agreement with a local partner who 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 are responsible for all capital expenditures for Dreamworld Club (Poipet), which have principally included the development and construction of the facility and gaming equipment, in the approximate amount of $7.5 million, of which approximately $5.0 was for
the purchase and placement of EGMs. We funded our expenditures through our internal cash resources.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
We and the local partner split the net 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.
Previously, we had developed and operated one casino property, Dreamworld Casino (Pailin), which opened in May 2012 and closed in June 2014. Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) was a small regional casino located in the Pailin Province of Northwestern Cambodia next to the Thailand border. It was constructed on land leased from a local land owner who was our partner in the project and, in consideration, the partner was entitled to receive a monthly rental fee in the amount of $5,000 and 20% of the profit before depreciation, which consisted of the total gross revenue of the casino less any payouts to customers, operating expenses, and
gaming and non-gaming taxes on the casinos revenue. Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) measured approximately 16,000 square feet and, as of December 31, 2013, housed 88 EGM seats and table games leased to a third-party operator.
The performance of Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) did not meet expectations primarily due to an insufficient level of player traffic and the high costs associated with acquiring a quality player base in this market. In an effort to provide recurring revenue and reduce operating costs for these operations, in September 2013, we began to transition to a leasing model for the table games. Under the terms of the table game leasing contracts, the third-party operators paid us a fixed monthly rental fee per table. However, due to an inability to secure a long-term third-party table game operator, along with the low level of natural
player traffic and the political unrest in Thailand, the operations were still unprofitable.
After careful evaluation of all options, we decided to cease operations of Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) effective June 1, 2014. On June 20, 2014, we entered into a share purchase agreement to sell 100% of the issued capital shares of Dreamworld Leisure (Pailin) Limited, or DWP, our wholly-owned Cambodian subsidiary established for purposes of owning and operating Dreamworld Casino (Pailin), to a local Cambodia individual. The purchaser is a relative of our partner in the operations. The sale of the shares pursuant to the agreement is expected to be completed subject to, among other conditions, the purchasers receipt of
certain government approvals, which is expected within the next few months.
Total consideration to be paid by the purchaser will be $500,000, of which $100,000 was paid at the time of signing the agreement and the balance is to be paid in 16 $25,000 monthly installments commencing within one month of the signed agreement. We intend to recognize the anticipated gain from the sale of the entity when the transaction closes. The sale includes all assets of DWP with the exception of all EGMs, certain surveillance equipment and other assets excluded in the agreement and prohibits any use of the Dreamworld brand name by the purchaser.
In connection with the sale of the issued capital shares of DWP, we also entered into a termination agreement dated June 20, 2014 with our partner in Dreamworld Casino (Pailin), pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate, effective as of June 20, 2014, a lease agreement and an undertaking agreement previously entered into between the parties, both dated July 13, 2011, with respect to Dreamworld Casino (Pailin). Pursuant to the termination agreement, the parties agreed to terminate all future obligations, claims and liabilities of the parties under the lease agreement and undertaking agreements, including DWPs
obligation to pay to the partner lease payments of $5,000 per month over the next 17 years.
We incurred operating losses at Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) since the inception of operations. In connection with our 2013 annual valuation review of the Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) facility and gaming assets, and as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $2.5 million as of December 31, 2013 for Dreamworld Casino (Pailin), which represented our aggregate capital expenditure for the property.
Philippines Operations
In the Philippines, our slot operations comprise three venues in the greater Manila area. For these venues, our share of the net win ranges from 15% to 35% and the typical initial term for these contracts is five years
53
TABLE OF CONTENTS
with renewal options. We and the venue owner split the costs associated with the gaming operations based on the same ratio that we share in the average daily net win per unit.
We intend to selectively pursue gaming projects for both slot participation and casino and gaming club development. For slot participation, we intend to pursue additional opportunities in certain markets in Indo-China and place our EGMs in prime locations on the gaming floors of major casinos and/or hotels in our target markets. For casino development, we intend to pursue projects in Indo-China and other growing gaming markets in Asia that will enable us to expand our market presence and increase brand equity in our Dreamworld name. We will endeavor to pursue projects that are relatively larger in size and investment than our
previous Dreamworld projects and in more established markets with stronger levels of existing natural player traffic. There is no assurance we will be successful in establishing new projects with these characteristics or that any such projects will be successful.
Gaming Competition
We believe that the gaming market in Asia is and will continue to be intensely competitive. Our slot and casino operations compete with small privately owned gaming establishments and, in the urban markets, larger and well-established gaming, hospitality and leisure development companies. Many of our competitors, particularly in the urban markets, are larger than us and have significantly longer track records of operation.
Gaming Regulations and Licensing
The regulatory structures in the Asian countries where we operate our slot and casino development businesses, including the Philippines and Cambodia, are not as developed or clearly defined as the United States. In general, all of the countries in which we currently operate our slot business require the venue owners to obtain the necessary gaming licenses in order to operate the EGMs leased by us and we require that all venue owners to whom we lease EGMs hold the required gaming licenses to operate their venues. Since our slot business model primarily focuses on leasing of the EGMs to the venue owners, technically, we are not
considered to be an operator or owner of the gaming operations by the relevant authorities and, thus, we are not required to obtain any form of gaming licenses in either the Philippines or Cambodia for our slot business in such jurisdictions. However, current gaming laws, including licensing requirements and other regulatory obligations, could change or become more stringent resulting in additional regulations being imposed upon us and our slot operations. Any such adverse developments in the regulation of the gaming industry could be difficult to comply with and significantly increase our costs which, in turn, could cause our slot business to cease to be viable.
Gaming Products
We engage in the design, manufacture and distribution of gaming chips and plaques, and until March 2013, we had been engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of other non-gaming plastic products, mainly automotive parts. In March 2013, we sold the portion of our business dedicated to the manufacture and sale of non-gaming plastic products. In connection with the sale of the non-gaming plastic products operations, we relocated the gaming chips and plaques operations from Melbourne, Australia to Hong Kong. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2013, we expanded the gaming products division to include the distribution
of third-party gaming products. We entered into two distribution agreements, however we have not yet recorded a material amount of revenue from these agreements as of June 30, 2014.
We focus on the development, manufacture and sale of gaming chips and plaques from our Dolphin subsidiary. Our gaming chips and plaques products include:
|
|
Radio frequency identification, or RFID, tagged casino chips, which are traditional casino chips embedded with a RFID tag that allows casinos to identify counterfeit casino chips and track table play. The high-frequency 13.56 MHz RFID casino chip is designed to provide real-time data capability, enhanced chip security, player tracking and accounting management benefits for casinos. The high-frequency RFID chips enable casinos to read 1,000 chips per second and have a memory capacity of over 10,000 bytes.
|
|
|
Traditional casino chips for various table games, including a wide range of American-style gaming chips with 30 different color combinations, various sizes and other personalized printing combinations.
|
54
TABLE OF CONTENTS
|
|
High-frequency RFID and traditional non-RFID casino plaques, which use modern, efficient plastic thermoforming techniques and a process of printing graphics on polymer that provides for a broad range of colors or designs, including a full photographic finish. Our plaques have unique security features including a patented RFID inlay which is tamper-proof and identifies each plaque, a currency grade ceramic DNA strand embedded in the plastic, a multi-directional hologram and serialization. They are available in five rectangular and three square shapes or customized to buyer requirements.
|
Marketing and Distribution
We market our casino chips and plaques to all major casinos throughout the world, excluding the United States, however as of the date of this prospectus the majority of our sales have only been made to casinos in Asia and Australia. We market our chips and plaques through in-house sales and marketing efforts and independent marketing agents to promote and distribute these products for us in Australia, New Zealand, Macau and certain other Asian territories. Our casino customers include, amongst others, City of Dreams, Altira, Venetian and Galaxy in Macau, Crown Casino, Crown Perth and Star City Casino in Australia and Solaire
Resort & Casino and City of Dreams Manila in the Philippines.
Competition
The gaming products industry is competitive. We compete with established gaming products companies, which have substantial histories, backgrounds, experience and records of successful operations, greater technical, marketing and other resources, and more employees and extensive facilities than we have or will have in the foreseeable future.
Gaming Regulations and Licensing
In most jurisdictions outside the United States, manufacturers and distributors of gaming chips and plaques are not required to be licensed. However, in most markets in the United States, gaming chips and plaques are generally regarded as gaming devices by the gaming authorities and, therefore, manufacturers of these products are required to be licensed. At present, we neither possess nor have applied for any licenses to sell our Dolphin gaming chips and plaques in the United States.
Manufacturing and Assembly
The manufacture of gaming chips and plaques has been performed at the new Dolphin facilities, which is also our corporate headquarters, in Hong Kong since the second quarter of 2013. Previously, gaming chips and plaques were manufactured in our disposed of facility in Melbourne, Australia. Dolphin has licensed certain RFID technology from a third party. Most of the materials for our casino chips and plaques are sourced in Australia and Southeast Asia but we believe that the materials for casino chips and plaques are readily available from multiple sources.
Product Development
During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we spent approximately $261,000 and $395,000, respectively, on product development activities related to gaming chips and plaques. Product development activities declined for the year ended December 31, 2013 due to the relocation of the gaming products manufacturing plant during the year and increased activities related to our plaques during the year ended December 31, 2012.
Intellectual Property
In October 2005, we acquired the rights to U.S. Patent No. 6,659,875, which covers a unique process for manufacturing RFID chips and plaques. We also hold patents covering similar processes issued by Australia and the United Kingdom. In addition, in February 2007, we filed new provisional specifications in Australia to protect additional enhancements in the manufacture of RFID chips and plaques. Many elements incorporated in our proprietary products are in the public domain or otherwise not amenable to legal protection and the steps taken by us will not, in and of themselves, preclude competition with our proprietary products.

On December 31, 2012, the compensation committee of the board of directors resolved that the amount of the CEOs eligible performance-based compensation for 2013 was a cash award up to $300,000, options to purchase up to 100,000 common shares and a restricted stock award of up to 50,000 shares, all of which were subject to the vesting and risk of forfeiture based on the performance of Mr. Chung for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. On March 4, 2014, the compensation committee reviewed the financial and non-financial performance targets as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and decided that Mr. Chung should be entitled to 65% of the cash, the options and the restricted stock award under the CEOs eligible performance-based compensation for 2013. In addition, on December 27, 2013, the compensation committee of the board of directors approved the extension of options to purchase 500,000 common shares for an
additional five years up to December 29, 2018, which incurred one-off stock-based compensation expense of $165,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, Mr. Chung was granted options to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock as part of the annual grant to members of the board of directors.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
In November 2009, the compensation committee of the board of directors approved the following compensation for Mr. Chung, the terms of which were included in a written employment agreement dated November 10, 2009 (November 2009 Agreement) between us and Mr. Chung for his employment as our Chief Executive Officer (CEO):
|
|
a term of three years commencing January 1, 2010 and expiring on December 31, 2012 and may be renewed thereafter subject to further agreement between the parties;
|
|
|
an annualized base salary in cash of $1; and
|
|
|
a discretionary performance bonus of such amount and form (whether in cash or in kind) to be determined by our compensation committee payable upon achievement of certain objectives set by the compensation committee and at such time as may be deemed appropriate by the compensation committee.
|
On December 31, 2011, Elixir Gaming Technologies (Hong Kong) Limited (EGT-HK) and Dreamworld Leisure Management Limited (EGT-BVI), an incorporated company in the British Virgin Islands, both of which are our wholly-owned subsidiaries, each entered into different employment agreements with the CEO. The one entered into by EGT-HK is for the CEOs services performed within Hong Kong or in relation to our business, if any, in Hong Kong (the HK Employment Agreement) and the other one entered into by EGT-BVI is for the CEOs services performed outside Hong Kong or in relation to our
business outside Hong Kong (the Overseas Employment Agreement).
The service term under both employment agreements was for the remaining term of the November 2009 Agreement, namely, from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012. According to the terms of the HK Employment Agreement, the CEO was entitled to an annual base salary of $1.00 and, if applicable, a performance bonus that is discretionary in nature with such amount and form (whether in cash or in kind) to be determined by the compensation committee. On the other hand, the CEO was only entitled to discretionary compensation of such amount and form (whether in cash or in kind) to be determined by the compensation committee at such time
as the compensation committee deems appropriate according to the terms of the Overseas Employment Agreement. Save for clearly identifying the jurisdictional differences, the terms of the HK Employment Agreement and the Overseas Employment Agreement were in essence the same as the November 2009 Agreement and upon signing, they had the effect of superseding the November 2009 Agreement.
On December 31, 2012, EGT-HK and EGT-BVI, entered into new employment agreements with Mr. Chung for the position of CEO. The employment agreement entered into by EGT-HK is for Mr. Chungs services performed on behalf of us within Hong Kong or in relation to our business, if any, in Hong Kong (the New HK Employment Agreement) and the employment agreement entered into by EGT-BVI is for Mr. Chungs services performed on our behalf outside of Hong Kong or in relation to our business outside of Hong Kong (the New Overseas Employment Agreement).
Each employment agreement commenced on January 1, 2013 and continues indefinitely until terminated by either party. EGT-HK or EGT-BVI, as the case may be, can terminate their respective agreements immediately for cause, as such term is defined in the agreements. In addition, either party to the agreements may terminate the agreement without cause upon three months prior written notice or payment of three months base salary in lieu of notice to the other party.
According to the terms of each employment agreement, the CEO is entitled to an annual base salary to be determined annually by the compensation committee of our board of directors. The compensation committee has determined that the CEOs annual base salary under the New HK Employment and the New Overseas Employment Agreement for 2013 is $30,000 and $60,000, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the New Overseas Employment Agreement, the CEO is also entitled to receive discretionary and

TABLE OF CONTENTS
performance-based compensation, payable in cash or securities of the Company or a combination of both as the compensation committee may determine. The amount of the performance-based compensation and the key performance indexes by which the CEO will earn the performance based compensation shall be determined by the compensation committee annually. The compensation committee has determined that the amount of the CEOs eligible performance-based compensation for 2013 is up to $300,000 in cash, options to purchase up to 100,000 common shares and a restricted stock award of up to 50,000 shares, all of which are subject to the
vesting and risk of forfeiture based on the performance of Mr. Chung for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. Both of the options to purchase 100,000 common shares of the Company and the restricted stock award of 50,000 common shares of the Company were granted by us to Mr. Chung on January 2, 2013 under our 2008 Stock Incentive Plan. The options were granted at an exercise price of $1.965 per share. On March 4, 2014, the compensation committee decided that Mr. Chung should be entitled to 65% of the cash, the options and the restricted stocks award under the CEOs eligible performance-based compensation for 2013.
On December 27, 2013, the compensation committee determined that the CEOs annual base salary under the New HK Employment and the New Overseas Employment Agreements for 2014 would be $30,000 and $60,000, respectively. The compensation committee also determined that the amount of the CEOs eligible performance-based compensation for 2014 is up to $300,000 in cash, options to purchase up to 100,000 common shares and a restricted stock award of up to 50,000 shares, all of which are subject to the vesting and risk of forfeiture based on the performance of Mr. Chung for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. All cash
payments under the two employment agreements are to be paid by EGT-BVI pursuant to the New Overseas Employment Agreement, other than the $30,000 base salary payable by EGT-HK pursuant to the New HK Employment Agreement. Both of the options to purchase 100,000 common shares of the Company and the restricted stock award of 50,000 common shares of the Company were granted by the Company to Mr. Chung on January 2, 2014 under its 2008 Stock Incentive Plan. The options were granted at an exercise price of $1.211 per share.
Pursuant to the resolutions passed by the compensation committee on December 31, 2011, we granted to Mr. Chung, on that day, as part of his compensation package for the year ended December 31, 2012: (a) options to purchase 150,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.924 per share pursuant to the HK Employment Agreement provided that all these options will be vested and become exercisable on January 1, 2013; and (b) 194,805 shares of restricted common stock, pursuant to our 2008 Stock Incentive Plan and the Overseas Employment Agreement. All 194,805 restricted common shares are subject to vesting and risk of
forfeiture based on the performance of Mr. Chung for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.
On March 2, 2012, the compensation committee resolved the grant of a cash bonus of $125,000 to Mr. Chung pursuant to the Overseas Employment Agreement for his contributions during the year ended December 31, 2011.
During his employment with us, Mr. Chung also serves as (i) an executive director of Melco International Development Limited, the parent corporation of our principal shareholder, EGT Entertainment Holding, and receives a salary from Melco for his services rendered to Melco; and (ii) a director of Melco Crown Entertainment Inc. In December 2012, Mr. Chung has also been appointed as the chairman and president of Melco Crown (Philippines) Resorts Corporation, an indirect subsidiary of Melco Crown Entertainment Limited, which engages in a hotel casino resort project in the Philippines.

The dollar amounts in columns (c) and (d) reflect the values of equity awards as of the grant date, in accordance with ASC 718,
Compensation-Stock Compensation,
and, therefore, do not necessarily reflect actual benefits received by the individuals. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 13 to our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Each member of the board of directors received an initial grant of 25,000 options upon his appointment.
Since January 2009, our policy had been to provide each member of the board of directors with an annual grant of options to purchase 12,500 shares of our common stock and each non-employee board member a quarterly fee of $12,000, provided that the chairman of our audit committee received an additional $6,000 per quarter.
On November 8, 2011, the board of directors, acting upon the recommendation and approval of the compensation committee, approved an amendment to our policy concerning the compensation of directors. Pursuant to such amendments, effective as of January 1, 2012, each member of our board of directors receives an annual grant of options to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock and each non-employee board member also receives a quarterly fee of $13,500, provided that the chairman of the audit committee receives an additional $6,500 per quarter. As of the date of this prospectus, Mr. Samuel Tsang had unconditionally waived all
his entitlements to the aforesaid quarterly fees.
All annual grant options will vest in full six months and one day following the date of grant. The exercise price of such options is the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Our directors are reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses related to their services as directors or meeting attendances.
On February 27, 2013, the compensation committee of the board of directors resolved the grant of cash bonus of $25,000 to each non-employee director for rewarding their efforts and guidance to management during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
No member of our board of directors is employed by us or our subsidiary except for Mr. Chung, who is presently employed as our president and chief executive officer. None of our executive officers serve on the board of directors of another entity, whose executive officers serves on the compensation committee of our board of directors. None of our officers or employees participate in deliberations of the compensation committee concerning executive officer compensation.
Limitation of Liability of Directors and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our articles of incorporation obligate us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under Nevada law. Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides for indemnification by a corporation of costs incurred by directors, employees, and agents in connection with an action, suit, or proceeding brought by reason of their position as a director, employee, or agent. The person being indemnified must have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the provisions contained in our amended and restated articles of incorporation, our amended and restated bylaws, Nevada law or otherwise, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers or controlling
persons in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of this issue.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with members of our board of directors and certain other employees in which we agreed to hold harmless and indemnify such directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent authorized under Nevada law, and to pay any and all related expenses reasonably incurred by the indemnitee. The relevant members of our board of directors are Mr. Clarence Chung, Mr. Vincent L. DiVito, Mr. John Crawford, Mr. Samuel Tsang and Dr. Anthony Tyen.

Related Party Transactions, Promoters and Director Independence
Transaction Review
We have adopted a policy that any transactions with directors, officers or entities of which they are also officers or directors or in which they have a financial interest, will only be on terms consistent with industry standards and approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of our board. Our bylaws provide that no such transactions by us shall be either void or voidable solely because of such relationship or interest of directors or officers or solely because such directors are present at the meeting of the board or a committee thereof which approves such transactions, or solely because their votes are counted for
such purpose if:
|
|
The fact of such common directorship or financial interest is disclosed or known by the board or committee and noted in the minutes, and the board or committee authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract or transaction in good faith by a vote for that purpose without counting the vote or votes of such interested directors; or
|
|
|
The fact of such common directorship or financial interest is disclosed to or known by the stockholders entitled to vote, and they approve or ratify the contract or transaction in good faith by a majority vote or written consent of stockholders holding a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote (the votes of the interested directors or officers shall be counted in any such vote of stockholders); or
|
|
|
The contract or transaction is fair and reasonable to us at the time it is authorized or approved.
|
In addition, interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of our board or a committee thereof that approves such transactions. If there are no disinterested directors, we shall obtain a majority vote of the stockholders approving the transaction.
With regard to transactions between us and our principal stockholder, EGT Entertainment Holding, our board of directors has established a committee of the board, known as the conflicts committee. For details of the scope of authority and composition of our conflicts committee, please refer to the information set forth above.
The conflicts committee charter shall not be amended or modified unless (i) such amendment or modification has been approved and recommended by a majority of the members of the conflicts committee and (ii) at least five business days preceding the effective date of such amendment or modification we have filed with the SEC a current report on Form 8-K that accurately and fully discloses the proposed amendment or modification and the basis for the conflicts committees recommendations.
EGT Entertainment Holding Limited Transactions
On April 21, 2008, we entered into a Trade Credit Facility Agreement with Elixir International Limited, an affiliate of our principal shareholder, EGT Entertainment Holding Limited.

The advances under the Facility Agreement initially accrued interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum until May 25, 2010 when we adjusted the rate to 5.0% per annum. The total principal and interest amounts under the Facility Agreement were paid in full as of December 1, 2012, at which time the Facility Agreement was terminated.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The table below sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock, as of July 23, 2014, by:
|
|
All of our then current directors and executive officers, individually;
|
|
|
All of our then current directors and executive officers, as a group; and
|
|
|
All persons who beneficially owned more than 5% of our outstanding common stock.
|
The beneficial ownership of each person was calculated based on 30,102,162 shares of our common stock outstanding as of July 23, 2014, according to the recorded ownership listings as of that date, the beneficial ownership reports filed by 5% beneficial owners with the SEC and the verifications we solicited and received from each director and executive officer. The SEC has defined beneficial ownership to mean more than ownership in the usual sense. For example, a person has beneficial ownership of a share not only if he owns it in the usual sense, but also if he has the power (solely or shared) to vote, sell or
otherwise dispose of the share. Beneficial ownership also includes the number of shares that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of July 23, 2014, pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants or the conversion of notes, debentures or other indebtedness, but excludes stock appreciation rights. Two or more persons might count as beneficial owners of the same share.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of common stock. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 30,102,162 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the shareholders generally. Shareholders are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefore, and in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities. The holders of shares of common
stock have no preemptive, conversion, subscription rights or cumulative voting rights.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our board of directors is authorized to issue from time to time, without shareholder authorization, in one or more designated series or classes, any or all of the authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock with such dividend, redemption, conversion and exchange provisions as may be provided in the particular series. Any series of preferred stock may possess voting, dividend, liquidation and redemption rights superior to that of the common stock. The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of the
holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Issuance of a new series of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisition and other corporate purposes, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of the outstanding voting stock of our company. As of the date of this prospectus, no class or series of preferred stock has been designated and no shares of preferred stock are issued.
Dividends
We do not anticipate the payment of cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Transfer Agent
The transfer agent for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, 8
th
Floor, New York, New York 10004.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Entertainment Gaming Asia Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Entertainment Gaming Asia Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Entertainment Gaming Asia Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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 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.
The Company owned and operated a casino under the Dreamworld name in the Pailin Province of Cambodia (Dreamworld Casino (Pailin)). On June 1, 2014, the Company ceased operations of the casino and, on June 20, 2014 entered into an agreement to sell 100% of the issued capital shares of Dreamworld Leisure (Pailin) Limited, a wholly-owned Cambodian subsidiary of the Company established for the purposes of owning and operating the casino. In addition, 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. All related historical revenues and expenses for these operations have been reclassified as discontinued operations. The accounting policies of these discontinued operations are consistent with the Companys policies for the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
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 has adopted this update (see Note 19 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.)
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements are prepared pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
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. Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
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.

ENTERTAINMENT GAMING ASIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 December 31, 2013, the Company had deposits with financial institutions in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured limits by approximately $5.1 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 relationships 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. Inventories included a lower of cost or market (LCM) provision of approximately $27,000 and NIL for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 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. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment loss of approximately $75,000 primarily related to the write-off of non-redeployable gaming equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment loss of approximately $339,000 primarily related to the write-off of non-redeployable EGMs following the termination of slot contracts for non-performing venues during the year.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
ENTERTAINMENT GAMING ASIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Prepaids, Deposits and Other Assets
Prepaids, deposits and other assets consist primarily of prepaid leases, prepaid value-added taxes in foreign countries, prepayment to suppliers, rental and utilities deposits and restricted deposits as lease security. The Company had restricted deposits in the amounts of $NIL and $331,000 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in the form of certificates of deposits as security on leases.
Gaming Equipment
Gaming equipment consists primarily of EGMs and systems. Gaming equipment is stated at cost. The Company depreciates new gaming equipment over a five-year useful life and depreciates refurbished gaming equipment over a three-year useful life once placed in service. Depreciation of gaming equipment of approximately $3.7 million and $4.6 million was included in cost of gaming operations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 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 ten 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 $460,000 and $NIL was recorded in the cost of gaming operations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Depreciation of property and equipment of approximately $323,000 and $91,000 was included in cost of gaming products in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Including Casino Contracts
Intangible assets consist of patents, trademarks, technical know-how, a 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 $2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. Amortization expenses related to other gaming related intangibles were approximately $252,000 and $252,000 for the years ended December 31, 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 $26,000 and $15,000 for the years ended December 31, 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 $24,000 and $24,000 for the years ended December 31, 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
F-10

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 years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Additional Paid-In-Capital
For the year ended December, 31, 2013, the increase in additional paid-in-capital account mainly represented issuance of non-cash stock option compensation.
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 17.
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 Companys share of net winnings and reimbursement of expenses, net of customer incentives and commitment fees.
Revenues are recognized as earned with the exception of one of the Companys 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 owners 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 $234,000 and $342,000 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
For the discontinued casino operations, the Companys revenues are measured by the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for funds deposited by customers
F-11
TABLE OF CONTENTS
ENTERTAINMENT GAMING ASIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 Companys casino revenues are reduced by discounts and commissions.
The Company does not accrue a jackpot liability for its slot machine base and progressive jackpots as 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.
The Company also earns recurring gaming revenue through leasing table game equipment and providing casino management services to gaming operators within their casino properties. Revenues from table game equipment leasing arrangements are recognized as earned over the contractual terms of the arrangement between the Company and the gaming promoters.
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 Companys inventory and not subject to being used to fill other orders, and;
|
|
|
The product must be complete and ready for shipment.
|
Sales related to bill-and-hold arrangements were $NIL and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
ENTERTAINMENT GAMING ASIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 $789,000 and $840,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Employee Defined Contribution Plan
The Company operates a mandatory provident fund scheme (the MPF Scheme) under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for its employees in Hong Kong. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund. Contributions are made based on a percentage of the employees basic salaries and are expensed as and when the contributions fall due. The Company has no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions. The total amounts of such employees, which were expenses as incurred, were approximately $75,000 and $22,000 for the years ended
December 31, 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 $261,000 and $395,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
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 propertys 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.
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

Note 1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 Companys 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 (loss)/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 (loss)/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 Companys 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
consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Below is a summary of closing exchange rates as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and average exchange rates for the years ended December 31, 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 entitys 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 December 31, 2013, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, 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. The Company had no guarantee liabilities as of the balance sheet dates.
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 has adopted this update (see Note 19 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.)

Note 2. Segments
The Company currently conducts business in two operating segments: (i) gaming operations, which includes EGMs participation operations; and (ii) gaming products, which consist of the design, manufacture and distribution of gaming chips and plaques. The Company owned and operated a casino in the Pailin Province of Cambodia (Dreamworld Casino (Pailin)). In June 2014, the Company ceased operations of the casino and entered into an agreement to sell 100% of the issued capital shares of Dreamworld Leisure (Pailin) Limited, a wholly-owned Cambodian subsidiary of the Company established for the purposes of owning and
operating the casino. 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. All the related historical revenues and expenses for Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) and the non-gaming plastic products operations have been reclassified as discontinued operations. The accounting policies of these discontinued operations are consistent with the Companys policies for the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The following table presents the financial information for each of the Companys operating segments.

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 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 over three years and have ten-year contractual terms.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, stock options for the purchase of 860,000 shares of common stock were granted with a weighted average exercise price of $1.20 and weighted average fair value of $0.69 (2012: $1.06) per share. This included options for the purchase of 500,000 shares of common stock which were extended on December 27, 2013 for an additional five years up to December 29, 2018. The remaining stock options will vest from six-month and one day to three-year periods. During the year ended December 31, 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 recipients 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 year ended December 31, 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.

Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation (continued)
As of December 31, 2013, stock options for the purchase of 936,864 shares 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 Directors Stock Option Plan.
As of December 31, 2013, stock options for the purchase of 2,332,374 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 2008 Plan.
As of December 31, 2013, stock options for the purchase of 2,783,821 shares of common stock were exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $2.18, a weighted average fair value of $0.89 and an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $738,000. The total fair value of shares vested during the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately $912,000. The total compensation cost related to unvested shares as of December 31, 2013 was approximately $295,000. The amount is expected to be recognized over 1.83 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 Companys 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 re-measures compensation cost each period until the service condition is complete and recognizes compensation cost on the straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
ENTERTAINMENT GAMING ASIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation (continued)
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.
Note 13. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In such instance, the Company estimates the undiscounted future cash flows (excluding interest) resulting from the use of the asset and its ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) 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 assets.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $75,000 primarily related to the write-down of non-performing and non-redeployable EGMs.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $339,000 primarily related to the write-off of non-redeployable EGMs following the termination of slot contracts for non-performing venues during the year.
Note 14. 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 Companys 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 Dolphin Hong Kong. The relocation of the Companys principal executive office serves to minimize costs and improve oversight of the gaming products operations.
On April 21, 2008, the Company entered into a Trade Credit Facility Agreement (the Facility Agreement) with Elixir International Limited, a company which used to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of EGT Entertainment Holding, the Companys 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. This amount 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 Limited 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 to replace the previous terms. Under these most recent terms, 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.

Domestic operating loss carryforwards were approximately $174.2 million and $172.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which are subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. These domestic operating losses began to expire in 2011. The Company expects
F-27
TABLE OF CONTENTS
ENTERTAINMENT GAMING ASIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 15. Income Taxes (continued)
to utilize the $174.2 million domestic operating loss to offset against corporate income tax payable in the United States, if the domestic operating loss remains unexpired at the time when the Company is subject to corporate income tax in the United States. Operating loss carryforwards of foreign subsidiaries were approximately $4.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively for the years ended December, 31, 2013 and 2012. The Companys net operating losses have been fully reserved. These foreign operating losses began to expire in 2011 and for Hong Kong, the operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely.
As of December 31, 2013, there were valuation allowances of approximately $61.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively, relating to pre-Quasi-Reorganization and post-Quasi-Reorganization periods. Valuation allowances included approximately $61.3 million for which subsequently recognized tax benefits will be credited directly to additional paid-in capital. Valuation allowances were provided on the domestic and foreign operating loss carry forwards and other deferred tax assets because management believes these assets did not meet the more likely than not criteria for recognition under ASC 740.
Undistributed earnings of the Companys foreign subsidiary amounted to approximately $21.7 million as of December 31, 2013. Those earnings were considered to be permanently reinvested; accordingly, no provision for withholding taxes has been provided thereon. Upon repatriation of those earnings, in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable due to the complexities
associated with its hypothetical calculation; however, unrecognized foreign tax credit carryforwards would be available to reduce some portion of the U.S. liability. Withholding taxes of approximately $3.0 million would be payable upon remittance of all previously unremitted earnings as of December 31, 2013.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits consisted of the following:

The amount of uncertain tax benefits as of December 31, 2013 that would affect the effective income tax rate if recognized is approximately $282,000. It is possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months, however, an estimate of the range of the possible changes cannot be made at this time.
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. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded interest and penalties of approximately $60,000. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had interest and penalties of approximately $304,000 accrued in the consolidated balance sheet.
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 Companys 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 Companys tax position.

Note 16. 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 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 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 Dolphin Hong Kong, both of which are subsidiaries wholly-owned by the Company, all inventory on hand and all assets and operations relating to the Companys 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 350,000 Australian dollars (AUD). The Company also agreed to assume Dolphin Australias 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. As of December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance had been fully settled.
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 Australias manufacture and sale of plastic products for the non-gaming industries.
From May 2012 until June 2014, the Company operated Dreamworld Casino (Pailin), a casino in the Pailin Province of Cambodia. Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) was constructed on land leased from a local land owner and, in consideration, the land owner was entitled to receive monthly a rental fee in the amount of $5,000 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 casinos revenue). The initial lease term was 20 years, commencing in September 2011 and was subject to renewal by the parties in writing.
On June 1, 2014, the Company ceased operations of Dreamworld Casino (Pailin). On June 20, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 100% of the issued capital shares of Dreamworld Leisure (Pailin) Limited (DWP), a wholly-owned Cambodian subsidiary of the Company established for the purposes of owning and operating Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) (Dreamworld Pailin), to a local Cambodian individual. In connection with the sale of the issued capital shares of DWP, on June 20, 2014 the Company and its partner in the operations entered into an agreement to terminate the previous agreements with the
partner and all future obligations thereunder including future lease payments owed by the Company.

Note 16. Discontinued Operations (continued)
The sale includes all assets of DWP with the exception of all EGMs, certain surveillance equipment and other assets excluded in the agreement and prohibits any use of the Dreamworld brand name by the buyer. Total consideration to be paid to the Company by the buyer will be $500,000, of which $100,000 was paid at the time of entering the agreement and the balance will be paid in sixteen $25,000 monthly installments commencing within one month of the signed agreement. The parties expect to close the sale transaction subject to the buyers receipt of certain government approvals, which is expected within the next few months.
The Company will recognize the anticipated gain on the disposal of the entity when the transaction closes.
The Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 related to Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) facility and gaming assets. The impairment charge represented the entire capital expenditure incurred by the Company for the property as of December 31, 2013, with the exception of those assets that the Company believed could be redeployed to other existing properties.

Legal Matters
Prime Mover/Strata Litigation
On March 26, 2010, a complaint (as subsequently amended on May 28, 2010 and December 20, 2011) (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 current and former directors and officers. The case number is 12-4393.
On December 18, 2013, the Second Circuit affirmed by Summary Order the District Courts September 28, 2012 judgment granting the dismissal of the Plaintiffs Complaint. Since the Plaintiffs did not request a rehearing of the Summary Order in the permitted time, the civil action was concluded with all claims dismissed against all parties.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
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 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.
The Company owned and operated a casino under the Dreamworld name in the Pailin Province of Cambodia. On June 1, 2014, the Company ceased operations of the casino in Pailin and, on June 20, 2014, entered into an agreement to sell 100% of the issued capital shares of Dreamworld Leisure (Pailin) Limited, a wholly-owned Cambodian subsidiary of the Company established for the purpose of owning and operating the casino. In addition, 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. All
related historical revenues and expenses for the casino in Pailin and the non-gaming plastic products operations have been reclassified as discontinued operations. The accounting policies of these segments are consistent with the Companys policies for the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
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 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 this prospectus for the year ended December 31, 2013. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
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.
F-36
TABLE OF CONTENTS
ENTERTAINMENT GAMING ASIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 periods 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, 2014, the Company had deposits with financial institutions in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured limits by approximately $4.4 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. Impairment charges of approximately $19,000 were recognized for long-lived assets for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014. There were no impairment charges for long-lived assets for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.
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 and other deposits.
Gaming Equipment
Gaming equipment consists primarily of EGMs and systems. Gaming equipment is 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 $1.5 million and $2.0 million was included in cost of gaming operations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
ENTERTAINMENT GAMING ASIA INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 ten 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 $297,000 and $174,000 was included in the cost of gaming operations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Depreciation of property and equipment of approximately $321,000 and $108,000 was included in cost of gaming products in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 $1.2 million and $1.2 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization expenses related to other gaming related intangibles were approximately $126,000 for six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. 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 $13,000 six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. 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 $12,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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 future 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 six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 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. See 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 gaming 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 Companys share of net winnings and reimbursement of expenses, net of customer incentives and commitment fees.
Revenues are recognized as earned unless collection is not reasonably assured, in which case revenues are recognized when the payment for net winnings is received. All slot operations revenues were recognized as earned during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
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 $180,000 and $234,000 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
For the discontinued casino operations, the Companys 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 Companys casino revenues are reduced by discounts and commissions.
The Company does not accrue jackpot liabilities for its slot machine base and progressive jackpots because the Company can avoid payment of such amounts, as regulations do not prohibit removal of gaming machines from the gaming floor without payment of the 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.

Note 1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company also earned recurring gaming revenue through leasing table game equipment and providing casino management services to gaming operators within its casino property. Revenues from gaming table leasing arrangements are recognized as earned over the contractual terms of the arrangement between the Company and the gaming promoters and are included in discontinued operations.
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.
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 expenses totaled
approximately $141,000 and $445,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Product Development
Product development expenses are expensed as incurred. Employee related costs associated with product development are included in product development expenses. Product development expenses were approximately $156,000 and $155,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
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 propertys 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, 2014 and December 31, 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 Companys 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 Companys international subsidiaries, except for its operations in Cambodia whose functional currency is also U.S. dollars (US$), 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.

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 entitys 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, 2014, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, 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. The Company does not accrue any guarantee liabilities as of the balance sheet dates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08 (ASU 2014-08) Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08 raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. It is effective for

annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. We do not expect the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-08 to be material to our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09) Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption
is not permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Segments
The Company currently conducts business in two operating segments: (i) gaming operations, which include EGM participation operations; and (ii) gaming products, which consist of the design, manufacture and distribution of gaming chips and plaques. The Company owned and operated a casino in the Pailin Province of Cambodia. In June 2014, the Company ceased operations of the casino and entered into an agreement to sell 100% of the issued capital shares of Dreamworld Leisure (Pailin) Limited, a wholly-owned Cambodian subsidiary of the Company established for the purpose of owning and operating the casino. 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. All the related historical revenues and expenses for the casino in Pailin and non-gaming plastic products operations have been reclassified as discontinued operations. The accounting policies of these discontinued operations are consistent with the Companys 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 Companys 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

Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation (continued)
Companys 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, 2014, stock options for the purchase of 225,000 shares of common stock were granted with a weighted average exercise price of $1.21 and weighted average fair value of $0.67 (2013: $1.18) per share and will vest from six-month and one day to three-year periods. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, 95,000 shares of restricted stock awards with a weighted average fair value of $1.21 per share were issued. The shares of restricted stock shall vest, subject to and upon the recipients achievement of key operational and financial performance milestones or according to the
vesting period. 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, 2014, there were no exercises 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, 2014, stock options for the purchase of 936,864 and 20,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding in relation to the Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan and the Amended and Restated 1999 Directors Stock Option Plan.
As of June 30, 2014, 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 Limited as approved by the Companys 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 Limited.
As of June 30, 2014, stock options for the purchase of 2,399,038 shares of common stock were outstanding under the 2008 Plan.
As of June 30, 2014, 2,949,235 stock options were exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $2.12, a weighted average fair value of $0.90 and an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $169,000. The total fair value of shares vested during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $312,000. The total compensation cost related to unvested shares as of June 30, 2014 was approximately $176,000. The amount was expected to be recognized over 1.80 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 and restricted common stock with performance criteria 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 Companys 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, nor does it expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future and, therefore, the expected dividend rate is zero.
The following table summarizes the range of assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model for the valuation of stock options granted during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation (continued)
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 reverse 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.
Note 13. 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 Companys principal shareholder, EGT Entertainment Holding Limited. This sub-lease expired at the end of March 2013 and the Company moved its principal executive office to the premises of the new Hong Kong Dolphin facilities in April 2013. The relocation of the Companys principal executive office serves to minimize costs and improve oversight of its Dolphin operations.

The Companys effective income tax rates were (4.7)% and 48.2% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The fixed obligation tax arrangement is subject to annual renewal and negotiation and the Company has renewed the fixed obligation tax arrangement for both EGT Cambodia and Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) for 2014.
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 Companys 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 Companys tax position.
The Company's 2009 to 2013 Australian income tax returns remain open to examination by the Australian Taxation Office. The Company's 2010 to 2013 Cambodian income tax returns remain open to examination by the General Department of Taxation. The Company's 2011 to 2013 Philippines income tax returns remain open to examination by the Philippines Bureau of Internal Revenue.

Note 15. Discontinued Operations
From July 2006 until March 2013, the Companys operations included the development, manufacture and sale of gaming chips and plaques from its subsidiary, Dolphin 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 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 Dolphin Hong Kong, both of which are subsidiaries wholly-owned by the Company, all inventory on hand and all assets and operations relating to the Companys 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 350,000 Australian dollars (AUD). The Company also agreed to assume Dolphin Australias 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.

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 Australias manufacture and sale of plastic products for the non-gaming industries.
From May 2012 until June 2014, the Company owned and operated a casino in the Pailin Province of Cambodia (Dreamworld Casino (Pailin)). Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) was constructed on land leased from a local land owner and, in consideration, the land owner was entitled to receive a monthly rental fee in the amount of $5,000 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 casinos revenue). The initial lease term was 20 years, commencing in September 2011, and was subject to renewal by
the parties in writing.
On June 1, 2014, the Company ceased operations of Dreamworld Casino (Pailin). On June 20, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 100% of the issued capital shares of Dreamworld Leisure (Pailin) Limited (DWP), a wholly-owned Cambodian subsidiary of the Company established for the purpose of owning and operating Dreamworld Casino (Pailin), to a local Cambodian individual. In connection with the sale of the issued capital shares of DWP, on June 20, 2014 the Company and its partner in the operations entered into an agreement to terminate the previous agreements with the partner and all future obligations
thereunder including future lease payments owed by the Company.
The sale includes all assets of DWP with the exception of all electronic gaming machines, certain surveillance equipment and other assets excluded in the agreement and prohibits any use of the Dreamworld brand name by the buyer. Total consideration paid to the Company by the buyer will be $500,000, of which $100,000 was paid at the time of entering the agreement and the balance is to be paid in sixteen $25,000 monthly installments commencing within one month of the signed agreement. The parties expect to complete the sale transaction subject to the buyers receipt of certain government approvals, which is expected within
the next few months. The Company intends to recognize the anticipated gain on the disposal of the assets when the transaction closes.
In compliance with the annual valuation review of the Dreamworld Casino (Pailin) facility and gaming assets under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company had recorded an impairment charge of approximately $2.5 million as of December 31, 2013 related to these operations. The impairment charge represented the entire capital expenditure incurred by the Company for the property as of December 31, 2013, with the exception of those assets that the Company believed could be redeployed to other existing properties.

On March 26, 2010, a complaint (as subsequently amended on May 28, 2010 and December 20, 2011) (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.

The case number is 12-4393.
On December 18, 2013, the Second Circuit affirmed by Summary Order the District Courts September 28, 2012 judgment granting the dismissal of the Plaintiffs Complaint. Since the Plaintiffs did not request a rehearing of the Summary Order in the permitted time, the civil action was concluded with all claims dismissed against all parties.

There was 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 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, outstanding stock options of 3,093,402 and 2,166,738 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
II-4
TABLE OF CONTENTS
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the subscription period, to set forth the results of the subscription offer, the transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by the underwriters, and the terms of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the underwriters is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to set forth the terms of such offering.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described herein, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(d) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by
reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
