PART I

Item 1. Business.

GENERAL

Table Trac, Inc. (the “Company”, “Table Trac”, "we" or "our") is a Nevada corporation, formed on June 27, 1995, with principal offices in Minnetonka, Minnesota.

The Company sells and leases systems and technical support to casinos. The open architecture of the Table Trac system is designed to provide operators with a scalable and flexible system that can interconnect and operate with most third-party software or hardware. Key products and services include modules designed to drive player tracking programs and kiosk promotions, as well as vault and cage controls. The Company’s systems are designed to meet strict auditing, accounting and regulatory requirements applicable to the gaming industry.

HUMAN CAPITAL

As of December 31, 2021,2022, the Company had 2935 full-time equivalents with an employee headcount of 30.35.

COMPETITION

There is intense competition in the gaming management and gaming products industry which is characterized by dynamic customer demand and rapid technological advances. Today, there are many systems providers in the U.S. and abroad offering casinos and gaming operators “total solution” casino management and table games management systems. As a result, the Company must continually adapt its approach and its products to meet this demand and match technological advances and, if it cannot do so, the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition may be adversely impacted.

 GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

The gaming and lottery industries are generally subject to extensive and evolving regulation that customarily includes some form of licensing or regulatory screening of suppliers, manufacturers and distributors and their applicable affiliates, their major shareholders, officers, directors and key employees. In addition, certain of our gaming products and technologies must be certified or approved in certain jurisdictions in which we operate. Regulators review many facets of an applicant or holder of a license, including its financial stability, integrity and business experience. Any failure to receive a license or the loss of a license that we currently hold could have a material adverse effect on us or on our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition.

While we believe that we are in compliance with all material gaming and lottery laws and regulatory requirements applicable to us, we cannot assure that our activities or the activities of our customers will not become the subject of any regulatory or law enforcement proceeding or that any such proceeding would not have a material adverse impact on us or our results of operations, cash flow or financial condition.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

The Company signed nine signed sixteen new customer contracts in 20212022 and expanded the Company’s presence in Alabama, California, Oklahoma, Nevada, Texas, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Costa Rica, Panama and Australia. At the end of 2021,2022, the Company had casino management systems, table games management systems and ancillary products installed with on-going support and maintenance contractscontracts with 100 casino operators in over 265270 casinos worldwide. 

At the Company’s annual shareholder meeting in October 2021,September 2022, the Company’s shareholders re-elected Thomas Mertens and William Martinez as its independent board members; along with one of the Company’s current officers, Chad Hoehne, Table Trac’s, President, Chief Technical Officer and its Chief Executive Officer. The board elected Mr. Hoehne as Chairman of the Board, while Mr. Mertens was elected to serve as chairman of the audit and compensation committees. Mr. Martinez was elected to serve as chairman of the compliance committee.

During 20212022, the Company participated in several key industry trade shows and conferences, including, the National Indian Gaming Association Trade Show and Conference, the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association Trade Show and Conference, and Global Gaming Expo (G2E), the industry’s premier event. The Company holds licenses for the following states:  California, Colorado, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, and Nevada, and pending in West Virginia and Wisconsin and pending in Louisiana and Mississippi, which will allow the Company to pursue sales in these territories.

In February 2020, the Company obtained a $500,000 line of credit with a lender.  The Company has renewed this line of credit through February 2023.2024.

On February 2, 2021, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with Alerus Financial, N.A. (the “Promissory Note”), which provided an unsecured loan of $473,400 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and applicable regulations (the “CARES Act”). Forgiveness of the Promissory Note will be determined in accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act and applicable regulations. The Company used the entire loan amount for designated qualifying expenses and applied for forgiveness of the loan in accordance with the terms of the PPP on September 28, 2021.  Notice of PPP forgiveness payment was received on October 22, 2021.  

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business.

The COVID-19 pandemic has and willmay continue to impact the economy and has and will likely continue tomay adversely affect our business. As of the date of this filing, uncertainty exists concerning the extent and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company’s future financial and operational performance remains uncertain and will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of COVID-19 and any increase in COVID-19 cases (and new variants) in the markets in which the Company operates, the extent and effectiveness of taken by federal, state and governments to prevent and contain disease spread, and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, customers and suppliers.  Some of our customers have temporarily closed or are operating at a diminished capacity which may negatively impact revenue.pandemic.  The pandemic may shift industry demand for installing and replacing existing casino management systems, impact sales and gross margins in the future, limit our ability to secure products we sell due to supplier and manufacturer shortages, limit the ability of our employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic and local, state, or federal orders requiring employees to remain at home, limit the ability of carriers to deliver our products to customers, limit the ability of our customers to conduct their business and purchase our products and services, and limit the ability of our customers to pay us on a timely basis.

To ensure that our business can continue to operate during this uncertain time, in February 2021 we applied and were approved for a second Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan through the Small Business Administration. This loan allowed us to continue to employ all existing employees to service our client base.

In March 2021, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) released Notice 2021-20, which retroactively eliminated the restriction that prevented employers who received a PPP loan from qualifying for the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. Upon determination that the employer has complied with all of the conditions required to receive the credit, a receivable is recorded and the credit reduces salaries and wages expense. The ERC was repealed in the fourth quarter of 2021 and therefore the Corporation did not receive ERC funds for the fourth quarter of 2021. As a result, for the year ending December 31, 2021, approximately $523,000 was recognized as an offset to expenses in the statement of operations for the ERC.

With respect to liquidity, we are evaluating and taking actions to reduce costs and spending across our organization. This includes reducing hiring activities, adjusting pay programs, and limiting discretionary spending.

While we are unable to predict the nature, scope or duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources, we will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic has had and may continue to have an adverse effect on our business.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impactedand may continue to impact the economy and could continue tomay adversely affect our business. As of the date of this filing, the extentHealth and duration ofHuman Service Department plans to let the COIVD-19 pandemic and its impactemergency to expire on the Company’s future financial and operational performance remains unpredictable and will depend upon future developments, including the duration and spread of COVID-19 (and new variants) in the markets in which the Company operates, the extent and effectiveness taken by federal, state and local governments to prevent and contain disease spread, and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, customers and suppliers. Over the past two years, some of our customers temporarily closed or operated at a diminished capacity which, upon reoccurrence, would negatively impact revenue.  During late 2019 and early 2020 theMay 11, 2023.  The pandemic may shift industry demand for installing and replacing existing casino management systems, noticeably slowed.  We noted an increase inimpact sales activityand gross margins in the last half of 2020 and consistently throughout 2021.  Additionally,future, limit our ability to secure products we continuesell due to experience, in a limited capacity, supplier and manufacturer shortages.  This has resulted inshortages, limit the ability of our employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic and local, state, or federal orders requiring employees to remain at home, limit the ability of carriers to deliver our products to customers, limit the ability of our customers to conduct their business and purchase our products and services, and limit the ability of our customers to pay us on a prolonged installation schedule.  Finally, during late 2019 and early 2020,timely basis.

While we discountedare unable to predict the prices on somenature, scope or duration of the servicesimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources, we will continue to actively monitor the situation and allowedmay take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, additional time to pay outstanding balances.suppliers and shareholders.

The Company’s business is subject to unpredictable order flows, which might cause its results to fluctuate significantly from period to period.

Individual system sales can have a long sales cycle, resulting in unpredictable revenue from such sales. Other revenue is derived from expansion opportunities at existing customer facilities and, although existing customers have in the past engaged us to provide expanded services and systems, there is no contractual agreement to provide us with any minimum volume or the ability to expand our services and systems. For these reasons, the Company can experience unpredictable order flows for system expansions.

Our growth and ability to access capital markets are subject to a number of economic risks.

Financial markets worldwide can experience disruption, including, among other things, diminished liquidity and credit availability, rating downgrades of certain investments and declining valuations. Financial market conditions affect our business in a number of ways. For example, the tightening of credit in financial markets adversely affects the ability of our customers to obtain financing for purchases and operations and could result in a decrease in or cancellation of lease and sale orders for our products and services. In addition, poor financial market conditions could also affect our ability to raise funds in the capital and lending markets.

Unfavorable economic, social and political conditions and public health crises may have a negative effect on our business.

If fewer players visit our customers’ facilities or, if such players have less disposable income to spend at our customers’ facilities or if our customers are unable to devote resources to purchasing and leasing our products are forced to close their respective facilities, there could be an adverse effect on our business. Such risks that may affect our customers and suppliers and consumers behavior include, but are not limited to:

We have agreements with casinos in Native American and foreign jurisdictions, which may subject us to sovereign immunity risks.

We may have a difficult time enforcing our contracts with Central America, South America, the Caribbean and Native American tribes and the casinos they operate. These customers may enjoy significant immunity or impracticality from suit. For instance, in order to sue a Native American tribe (or an agency or instrumentality of a Native American tribe); the Native American tribe must have effectively waived its sovereign immunity with respect to the matter in dispute. While we always seek the waivers of immunity initially, they may not always become a part of our final contracts with Native American tribes. Without a waiver, limited or otherwise, of the tribe’s sovereign immunity, our ordinary rights and remedies (such as our right to enter Native American lands to retrieve our property in the event of a breach of contract by the tribal party to that contract, or our right to enforce any outside judgment against such tribal party) will not likely be enforceable.

Our business may suffer if our products become obsolete or demand for them decreases, including without limitation, as a result of our inability to develop innovative products or respond to technological changes.

We derive substantially all of our revenues from leasing, licensing, selling and other financing arrangements of products within the gaming industry. Consistent demand for and satisfaction with our products by our customers is critical to our financial condition and future success. Problems, issues, defects or dissatisfaction with our products could cause us to lose customers or revenues from leases with minimal notices. Additionally, our success depends on our ability to keep pace with technological advances in our industry and to adapt and improve our products in response to evolving customer needs and industry trends. If demand for our products weakens due to lack of market acceptance, technological change, increased competition, regulatory changes, or other factors, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Any disruption in our manufacturing processes, any significant increase in manufacturing costs or any inability to manufacture our products to meet demand could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We create our software and many related products ourselves. Should any of these manufacturing processes be disrupted we may be unable to timely remedy such disruption. In such a case, we may be unable to produce a sufficient quantity of our products to meet the demand of our customers. In addition, manufacturing costs may increase significantly and we may not be able to successfully recover these cost increases with increased pricing to our customers. Either case could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We operate in a very competitive business environment and if we do not adapt our approach and our products to meet this competitive environment, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be adversely impacted.

There is intense competition in the gaming management and gaming products industry which is characterized by dynamic customer demand and rapid technological advances. Today, there are many systems providers in the U.S. and abroad offering casinos and gaming operators “total solution” casino management and table games management systems. As a result, we must continually adapt our approach and our products to meet this demand and match technological advances and if we cannot do so, our business results of operations or financial condition may be adversely impacted. Conversely, the development of new competitive products or the enhancement of existing competitive products in any market in which we operate could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.  Several of our competitors are larger, have greater name recognition, longer operating histories, larger marketing budgets and significantly greater resources than we do, and are able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services.  If we are unable to remain dynamic in the face of changes in the market, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We are dependent on the success of our customers and their decisions to upgrade or replace their current casino management systems.

Our success depends on our customers leasing or buying our products to expand their existing operations, replace existing gaming management products or equip a new casino. Any slowdown in the replacement cycle on the part of our customers may negatively impact our operations.

The opening of new casinos, expansion of existing casinos and replacement of existing gaming management systems in existing casinos fluctuate with demand, economic conditions, regulatory approvals and the availability of financing and have been negatively affected by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the expansion of gaming into new jurisdictions can be a protracted process, usually requiring a public referendum and/or legislative action before establishing or expanding gaming. Any of these factors could delay, restrict or prohibit the expansion of our business and negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

If our products contain defects, our reputation could be harmed and our operating results and financial results could be adversely affected.

Some of our products and our anticipated future products are complex and may contain defects that we do not detect. The occurrence of defects or malfunctions in one or more of our products could result in financial losses for our customers and in turn the termination of leases, cancellation of orders, product returns and diversion of our resources, and could additionally result in lost revenues, civil damages and regulatory penalties, as well as possible rescission of product approvals. Any of these occurrences could also result in the loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products and loss of placements.

We may not be able to attract, retain, or motivate the management or employees necessary to remain competitive in our industry.

The competition for qualified personnel in the gaming industry is intense. Our future success depends on the retention and continued contributions of our key management, finance, marketing, development, technical and staff personnel, many of whom would be difficult or impossible to replace. Our success is also tied to our ability to recruit additional key personnel in the future. We may not be able to retain our current personnel or recruit any additional key personnel required. The loss of services of any of our personnel or our inability to recruit additional necessary key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Any disruption in our software and related information technology systems due to a cyber incident could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We rely on our software and related information technology systems to operate our business. We are also exposed to the risk of cyber incidents in the ordinary course of business, to date, we have not experienced a cyber breach or incident. Cyber incidents may be deliberate attacks for the theft of intellectual property or other sensitive information or may be the result of unintentional actions or events. We have information technology security initiatives and recovery plans in place to mitigate our risk to these vulnerabilities, but these measures may not be adequate, or implemented properly, or executed timely to ensure that our operations are not disrupted. Potential risks associated with a material cyber incident include loss of intellectual property, impairment of our ability to conduct our operations, disruption of our customers’ operations, damage to our reputation, litigation, and increased cyber security protection and remediation costs. Such consequences could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

If we are unable to maintain and implement effective internal controls over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our reported financial information and the market price of our common stock may be negatively affected.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  If we have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, like those disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. We will need to maintain and enhance these processes and controls as we grow, and we may require additional management and staff resources to do so. Additionally, even if we conclude our internal controls are effective for a given period, we may in the future identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal controls, in which case our management will be unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial disclosures, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline. Any failure of our internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our reported operating results and harm our reputation. Internal control deficiencies could also result in a restatement of our financial results.

Risk Factors Relating to Intellectual Property

We are dependent on our intellectual property and we may be unable to protect our intellectual property from infringement, or misappropriation.

The gaming industry and the software industry are in general characterized by the use of various forms of intellectual property. We are dependent upon patented technologies, trademarked brands and proprietary information for our business. We endeavor to protect our intellectual property rights and our products through a combination of patent, trademark, trade dress, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as licensing agreements and third-party nondisclosure and assignment agreements. We cannot, however, be certain that any trademark, copyright, issued patent or other types of intellectual property will provide competitive advantages for us. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights or products will be successful.

Our existing patents may be found invalid or unenforceable and any current or future patent applications may not be approved.

We have patents and we utilize patent protection in the United States relating to certain processes and products. We cannot assure you that all of our existing patents would be found valid or enforceable or will continue to be valid or enforceable, or that any pending patent applications will be approved. Our competitors may in the future challenge the validity or enforceability of certain of our patents. The patents we own could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by others and may not be of sufficient scope or strength to provide us with any meaningful protection or commercial advantage. Competitors may infringe our patents and we may not have adequate resources or there may be other reasons we do not enforce our patents. Our patents may not adequately cover a competitor’s products in such a way as to provide us with a competitive advantage. Furthermore, the future interpretation by courts of United States laws regarding the validity of patents could negatively affect the validity or enforceability of our current or future patents.

Our efforts to protect our unpatented proprietary technology may not be successful.

We rely on unpatented proprietary technology. It is possible that others will independently develop the same or similar technology or otherwise obtain access to our unpatented technology. To protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information, we require employees, consultants, advisors and other collaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. We cannot assure you that these agreements are fully enforceable or will provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use, misappropriation or disclosure of such trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information. Furthermore, we may not have adequate resources to enforce these agreements in a meaningful way. If we are unable to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies or enforce the agreements, we use to protect those technologies, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We may not be able to establish or maintain our trademarks.

We rely on our trademarks, trade names, trade dress, copyrights and brand names to distinguish our products from the products of our competitors. We have registered or applied to register many of these trademarks. Our trademarks may not remain valid or enforceable. We may not be able to build and maintain goodwill in our trademarks or other intellectual property. Third parties may oppose our trademark applications or challenge our use of the trademarks. In the event that our trademarks are successfully challenged, we could be forced to rebrand our products, which could result in loss of brand recognition and could require us to devote resources towards advertising and marketing new brands. Further, our competitors may infringe our trademarks or other intellectual property and we may not have adequate resources or there may be other reasons we do not enforce our trademarks or other types of intellectual property.

We may not be able to adequately protect our foreign intellectual property rights.

Because of the differences in foreign patent, trademark, trade dress, copyright and other laws concerning proprietary rights, our intellectual property frequently does not receive the same degree of protection in foreign countries as it would in the United States. Our failure to possess, obtain or maintain adequate protection of our intellectual property rights for any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The intellectual property rights of others may limit our ability to make and sell our products.

The gaming industry is characterized by the rapid development of new technology which requires us to continuously introduce new products using these technologies and innovations, as well as to expand into new markets that may be created. Therefore, our success depends in part on our ability to continually adapt our products and systems to incorporate new technologies and to expand into markets that may be created by new technologies. However, to the extent technologies are protected by the intellectual property rights of others, including our competitors, we may be prevented from introducing products based on these technologies or expanding into markets created by these technologies. If the intellectual property rights of others prevent us from taking advantage of innovative technologies, our financial condition, operating results or prospects may be harmed.

We have many competitors in both the United States and foreign countries, some of which have substantially greater resources and have made substantial investments in competing technologies. Some competitors have applied for and obtained and may in the future apply for and obtain, patents that may prevent, limit or otherwise interfere with our ability to make and sell our products. Any royalty, licensing or settlement agreements, if required, may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

Significant litigation regarding intellectual property rights exists in our industry.

There is a significant amount of litigation that occurs in the gaming and technology industry. A successful challenge to or invalidation of one of our patents or trademarks, a successful claim of infringement by a third party against us, our products, or one of our licensees in connection with the use of our technology, or an unsuccessful claim of infringement made by us against a third party or its products, could adversely affect our business or cause us financial harm. Any such litigation – whether with or without merit – could:

Risks Factors Relating to Regulation

The gaming industry is highly regulated and we must adhere to various regulations and maintain applicable licenses to continue our operations. Failure to abide by regulations or maintain applicable licenses could be disruptive to our business and could adversely affect our operations.

We and our products are subject to extensive regulation under federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations of the jurisdictions in which we do business and our products are used. Violations of laws in one jurisdiction could result in disciplinary action in other jurisdictions. Licenses, approvals or findings of suitability may be revoked, suspended or conditioned. In sum, we may not be able to obtain or maintain all necessary registrations, licenses, permits or approvals. The licensing process may result in delays or adversely affect our operations and our ability to maintain key personnel, and our efforts to comply with any new licensing regulations will increase our costs.

We may be unable to obtain licenses in new jurisdictions where our customers operate.

We will become subject to regulation in any jurisdiction where our customers operate in the future. To expand into any such jurisdiction, we may need to be licensed, or obtain approvals of our products or services. If we do not receive, or receive a license, or our license is revoked in a particular jurisdiction for our products, we would not be able to sell or place our products in that jurisdiction. Any such outcome could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and any growth plans for our business.

Legislative and regulatory changes could negatively affect our business and the business of our customers.

Legislative and regulatory changes may affect demand for or place limitations on the placement of our products. Such changes could affect us in a variety of ways. Legislation or regulation may introduce limitations on our products or opportunities for the use of our products and could foster competitive products or solutions at our or our customers’ expense. Our business will likely also suffer if our products became obsolete due to changes in laws or the regulatory framework.

Legislative or regulatory changes negatively impacting the gaming industry as a whole or our customers in particular could also decrease the demand for our products. Opposition to gaming could result in restrictions or even prohibitions of gaming operations in any jurisdiction or could result in increased taxes on gaming revenues. Tax matters, including changes in state, federal or other tax legislation or assessments by tax authorities could have a negative impact on our business. A reduction in growth of the gaming industry or in the number of gaming jurisdictions or delays in the opening of new or expanded casinos could reduce demand for our products. Changes in current or future laws or regulations or future judicial intervention in any particular jurisdiction may have a material adverse effect on our existing and proposed foreign and domestic operations. Any such adverse change in the legislative or regulatory environment could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Risk Factors Related to Our Common Stock

The limited liquidity for our common stock could affect your ability to sell your shares at a satisfactory price.

Trading of our common stock is conducted on the over-the-counter markets—specifically on the OTCQX, the top-tier quotation marketplace administered by OTC Markets. Our common stock is relatively illiquid.  A more active public market for our common stock may not develop, which could adversely affect the trading price and liquidity of our common stock. Moreover, a thin trading market for our stock could cause the market price for our common stock to fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole. This may result in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained and could also result in a larger spread between the bid and asked prices for our common stock.

There is currently little trading volume in our common stock, which may make it difficult to sell shares of our common stock.

In general, there has been very little trading activity in our common stock. The relatively low trading volume will likely make it difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares as and when they choose. Furthermore, low trading volumes generally depress market prices. As a result, you may not always be able to resell shares of our common stock publicly at or near their original purchase price or at any price.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this filing.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements made in this report are “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined under Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Forward-looking statements describe future expectations, plans, results or strategies and can often be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect” and similar expressions.  The forward-looking statements in this report are primarily located in the material set forth under the headings “Description of Business,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” but are found in other parts of this report as well.  These statements are based upon management’s current expectations, assumptions and estimates and are not guarantees of timing, future results or performance. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated in these statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other important factors, including those described in this report under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” as well as in our other SEC filings. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except for our ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, we undertake no and expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwiseotherwise.

Industry data and other statistical information used in this report are based on independent publications, government publications, reports by market research firms or other published independent sources. Some data are also based on our good faith estimates, derived from our review of internal surveys and the independent sources listed above. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information.

Due to the length of the pandemic caused by the coronavirus in the U.S. and globally, our customers have been and may continue to be impacted. The impact of the coronavirus on our future results could be significant and will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus, the success of actions taken to contain or treat the coronavirus, and reactions by consumers, companies, governmental entities and capital markets. It is possible we will have collection issues or customer concessions as a result.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventory valuation, intangible assets, and income taxes. The Company bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The estimates and judgments that the Company believes have the most effect on its reported financial position and results of operations are as follows:

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenues from the sales of systems, licenses and maintenance fees, hardware leasing and services.

System Sales

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected, when applicable from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is a unit of account in ASC 606. A majority of the Company’s systems sales have multiple performance obligations including an obligation to deliver a casino management system and another to provide maintenance services. For system sales with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its SSP.Standalone Selling Price ("SSP"). See discussion with inwithin the significant judgement paragraph regarding our determination of SSP.  At contract inception, management assesses whether it is probable that the company will collect substantially all of the consideration to determine whether the contract meets the criterion for collectability.  The revenue allocated to the casino management system is recognized upon installation.  The Company occasionally enters into contracts that include multiple sites; management has determined that each site installation is a separate performance obligation. In these instances, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of each performance obligation. In addition, the Company has a contract with a reseller who purchases and resells the Company’s products; monthly the reseller notifies the Company of their successful installations and submits an invoice to the Company for those installations.  The Company also analyzes its standard business practice of using long-term contracts and the history of collecting on extended payment term contracts which include a significant financing component which is usually a market interest rate. The associated interest income is reflected accordingly on the statement of operations. 

Management’s assessment of collectability at both contract inception and on an ongoing basis resulted in the determination that some of our contracts did not meet the criterion for collectability.  The balance of these contracts are not included as part of accounts receivable on the balance sheet.  Accordingly, for these contracts whereby the collectability criterion has not been met, revenue will be recognized as payments are received.  During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company assessed two systems installed during 2022 totaling $2,829,200, and determined that both did not meet the revenue recognition collectability criterion.   Management considered the following facts and circumstances in its determination: these installations are subject to different regulators than our current customer base; Payments have not been received for items invoiced; one customer has a large debtor in a senior position to Table Trac. Both contracts will continue to be recognized on a cash basis subject to ongoing collectability assessment. A change in the collectability assessment in a future period may allow the Company to recognize revenue prior to collecting cash.

Maintenance Revenue

Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. The SSP for maintenance is based upon the renewal rate for contracted services.

Lease Revenue

The Company derives a portion of its revenue from a sales type leasing arrangement in accordance with ASC 842842.. The Company leases hardware to a customer, and receives monthly payments.

Service Revenue and Other Revenue

Service revenue is recognized upon completion of the services and are billed in arrears. The SSP for service revenue is established based upon actual selling prices for the services or prior similar arrangements.

Other revenue includes DataTrac, kiosks and related promotional programs and miscellaneous sales of equipment.  Revenue is recognized upon completion of services or delivery of equipment and is billed in arrears.

The Company offers qualified customers a licensing agreement. Licensing revenue is recognized after the intellectual property (CMS system), the performance obligation, is delivered and in its operational and functional state. The stand-alone selling price for licensing revenue is established based upon actual selling prices for the license. 

See also Note 1.

Accounts Receivable / Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are initially recorded at the invoiced amount and carried on the balance sheet at net realizable value as of each balance sheet date.  The company offers customers extended payment terms for periods of 6 to 72 months and as amounts under these long-term accounts receivable become due within one year, they are reclassified to the current portion of accounts receivable.  For receivables related to contracts that contain an interest rate, interest is recorded upon receipt to interest income on the statements of operations. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded when the Company believes the amounts may not be collected. Management believes that receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, are fully collectible. Accounts receivable are written off when management determines collection is no longer likely. While the ultimate result may differ, management believes that any write-off not allowed for will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

Inventory

Inventory, consisting of finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The average cost method (which approximates first in, first out method) is used to value inventory. Inventory is reviewed annually for the lower of cost or net realizable value and obsolescence. Any material cost found to be above market value or considered obsolete is written down accordingly. The Company had $36,353$2,273 and $45,045$36,353 of obsolescence reserves at December 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Company

Table Trac was formed under the laws of the State of Nevada in June 1995. The Company has offices in Minnetonka, Minnesota and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Company has developed and sells an information and management system that automates and monitors various aspects of the operations of casinos.

The Company provides system sales and technical support to casinos. System sales include installation, custom casino system configuration and training. In addition, license and technical support are provided under an annual license and service contract.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s use of estimates and assumptions include: for revenue recognition, determining collectability, the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and determining the standalone selling price (SSP) of performance obligations, and other obligations, realizability of accounts receivable, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and inventory valuation. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the difference could be significant.

Concentrations of Risk

Cash Deposits in Excess of Federally Insured Limits

The Company maintains its cash balances at two financial institutions. Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. At times throughout the year, the Company’s cash balances exceeded amounts insured by the FDIC. The Company doesn’t believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash balances.  Cash equivalents represent money market funds or short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.

Major Customers

The following table summarizes major customer’scustomers' information for the years ended December 31, 20212022 and 20202021:

A major customer is defined as any customer that represents at least 10% of revenue or outstanding account receivable for a given period.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives revenues from the sales or leasing of systems, licenses and maintenance fees, and services, and rental agreements.

System Sales

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected, when applicable from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is a unit of account in ASC 606.606. A majority of the Company’s systems sales have multiple performance obligations including an obligation to deliver a casino management system and another to provide maintenance services. For system sales with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its SSP. See discussion with inwithin the significant judgement paragraph regarding our determination of SSP.  At contract inception, management assesses whether it is probable that the company will collect substantially all of the consideration to determine whether the contract meets the criterion for collectability.  The revenue allocated to the casino management system is recognized upon installation.  The Company occasionally enters into contracts that include multiple sites; management has determined that each site installation is a separate performance obligation.

Other revenue includes DataTrac, a visual analysis platform to make casino performance decisions apparent & readily available on a daily basis, KioskTrac and Kiosks and related promotional programs and miscellaneous sales of equipment.  Revenue is recognized upon completion of services or delivery of equipment and is billed in arrears.

The Company offers qualified customers a licensing agreement.

The following table summarizes disaggregated revenues by major product line for the years ended December 31, 20212022 and 20202021, respectively:

System, sales-type lease, and certain other revenue is recorded at a point in time. Maintenance and service revenue is recorded over time.

Significant Judgments

Contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment.

Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation, including lease and non-lease components. We use a single amount to estimate SSP when we sell a product or service separately. 

In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when we do not sell the product or service separately, we determine the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. We typically have more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers and circumstances. In these instances, we perform a gross margin analysis using information such as the size of the customer and geographic region in determining the SSP.

We recognize a contract asset when our performance under a contract precedes our receipt of consideration from a customer, or before payment is due, and our receipt of consideration is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. A contract asset is recognized when we have an unconditional right to payment for our performance. Our contract asset consists of our in-process installations, for which we have an enforceable right to collect consideration (including a reasonable profit) in the event the services are cancelled by customers.  As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded a contract asset of approximately $34,800 and $0, respectively as a component of accounts receivable.

The collectability assessment requires the company to use judgement and consider all relevant facts and circumstances. Management exercises judgment in its assessment of collectability of customer funds by considering payment history, current credit status, publiclyand available information about the financial condition of the customer, the impact of COVID-19 on the customer, among other factors.  As of December 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021 $1,438,136, approximately $2,781,800 and $2,062,568$1,438,000 for systems installed under contract have not been recorded as revenue or included in accounts receivable based on the collectability assessment performed by the Company.  In accordance with this assessment, the contracts will be assessed in subsequent quarters at which time they may be deemed collectable and the outstanding remaining system revenue will be recognized accordingly.

During the year ended 2021,December 31, 2022, based on management's ongoing collectability assessment, one contract, installed in 2020, which previously did not meet the collectability criterion was subsequently deemed collectible and approximately $118,000$1,079,000 of revenue was recognized.  Additionally, two completed installations did not meet the collectability criterion and therefore revenue for these contracts were recognized in 2021.on the cash basis.

The collectability assessment requires the company to use judgement and consider all relevant facts and circumstances. 

We evaluate the interest rates in customer contracts with extended payment terms, that containrepresenting a significant financing component. These rates range from approximately 1% to 6%7% and we believe those to be appropriate market interest rates for the financing component.

Geographic Concentrations

The Company sells its technologies and services to casinos in the United States, Australia, Japan, the Caribbean and countries in both Central and South America. For 20212022 and 20202021, 89%95% and 94%89% of the Company’s revenues were from the United States and 8%2% and 5%8% from Australia, respectively.

As of December 31, 20212022 and 20202021, 74%92% and 86%74% of the Company’s accounts receivable were from the United States, 4% and 11% and 3% from Australia; 11%Australia, and 4% and 11% from Central America, respectivelyrespectively..

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Fair value estimates are at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. The Company considers the carrying values of its financial instruments to approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable / Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are initially recorded at the invoiced amount and carried on the balance sheet at net realizable value as of each balance sheet date.  For receivables related to contracts that contain an interest rate, interest is recorded upon receipt to interest income on the statements of operations. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded when the Company believes the amounts may not be collected. Management believes that receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, are fully collectible. Accounts receivable are written off when management determines collection is no longer likely. While the ultimate result may differ, management believes that any write-off not allowed for will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.  

In March 2021, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) released Notice 2021-20, which retroactively eliminated the restriction that prevented employers who received a PPP loan from qualifying for the Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The Company determined that we have complied with all of the conditions required to receive the credit. As a result, for the year ending December 31, 2021, approximately $523,000 was recognized as an offset to expenses in the statement of operations for the ERC.  Approximately $122,000 hashad not been received and has beenwas included in accounts receivable at December 31, 2021.This amount was received during 2022.

Inventory

Inventory, consisting of finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The average cost method (which approximates the first in, first out method) is used to value inventory. Inventory is reviewed quarterly for the lower of cost or net realizable value and obsolescence. Any material cost found to be above net realizable value or considered obsolete is written down accordingly. Based on that evaluation, the Company had $2,273 and $36,353 and $45,045 of obsolescence reserve at December 31, 20212022 and 20202021.  The total inventory value was $1,560,175 was $1,582,358 and $1,748,414 a$s1,582,358 as of December 31, 20212022 and 20202021, respectively, which included work-in-process ofof $396,880 and $699,024 and $140,022 as of December 31, 20212022 and 20202021, respectively, and the remaining amount is comprised of finished goods. At December 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the Company hadhad $54,520 and $511,500 and $0 of prepaid inventory as a component of prepaid expenses, respectively.

Net Investment in Sales Type Lease

Net investment in leases are recognized when the Company's leases qualify as sales-type leases.  The net investment in leases is initially measured at the present value of the fixed lease payments, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from two to five years. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred; major renewals and improvements are capitalized. As items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operating income.

Long-lived Assets

The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets by reviewing for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The right to control the use of an asset includes the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of the underlying asset and the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used.  Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. 

Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company has elected to use the incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments for all asset classes. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components, the Company has elected to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company has elected to not apply the requirements of ASC 842 for short-term leases. Short-term leases are defined as leases that, at the commencement date, have lease terms of twelve months or less.

Rent expense, including the effects of lease incentives, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes by following the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities versus the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Under this method, deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and operating loss, and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The impact of the tax rate changes on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year that the change is enacted. Management believes that any write-off not allowed will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Based on its evaluation, the Company believes that it has no significant unrecognized tax positions. The Company’s evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 20182019 through 2021,2022, which are the tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 20212022. The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.

The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to its financial results. In accordance with current guidance, the Company classifies interest and penalties as income tax expense as incurred.

Research and Development

Expenditures for research and product development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses werexpensee $469,554s were $190,713 and $283,421469,554 for the years ended December 31, 20212022 and 20202021, respectively, and isare included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the statements of operations.

Software Development Costs

We expense software development costs, including cost to develop software products to be sold, licensed or marketed to external users, before technological feasibility is reached.  Technological feasibility is typically reached shortly before the release of such products.  As a result, development costs that meets the criteria for capitalization were not material for both fiscal year 2022 and 2021.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company's stock-based compensation consists of stock options and restricted stock issued to certain company employees.  The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees, directors and non-employees. The compensation expense for the Company’s stock-based payments is based on estimated fair values at the time of the grant.

The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock awards on the date of grant using the closing traded price on that date. The Company’s restricted stock awards are subject to vesting requirements and the corresponding compensation is recorded ratably over the service period.

For stock options, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on an estimated grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur and to use the simplified method to determine the expected life of stock options.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and restricted stock shares subject to vesting. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options were exercised and that the proceeds from the exercise were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period. Restricted stock shares are included in dilutivebasic shares as of the beginning of the period in which the vesting conditions are satisfied. (See Note 7).

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016 and related amendments, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No.2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). This guidance changes the methodology to be used to measure credit losses for certain financial instruments and financial assets, including trade receivables. The new methodology requires the recognition of an allowance that reflects the current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial asset. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact on the Company's financial statements.

NOTE 2. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The allowance for accounts receivable represents management’s best estimate of probable losses in our receivables as of the date of the financial statements. The allowance provides for probable losses that have been identified with specific customer relationships and for probable losses believed to be inherent in receivables, but that have not been specifically identified.

A roll-forward of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended is as follows:
