The Company owned and operated a casino under the Dreamworld name in the Pailin Province of Cambodia. In June 2014, the Company ceased operations of the casino in Pailin and, on June 20, 2014, entered into an agreement to sell 100 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 February 26, 2015. 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. 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 year amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. 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 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/loss and related notes for all years presented. 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, 2015, the Company had deposits with financial institutions in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured limits by approximately $ 30.4 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 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) write-down of approximately NIL and $ 87,000 The Company accounts for impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360, Property, Plant and Equipment 2.6 121,000 Prepaids, deposits and other assets consist primarily of prepaid lease, prepaid value-added taxes in foreign countries, prepayments to suppliers, rental and utilities and other deposits. 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 $ 2.4 2.9 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. The Company capitalizes certain direct and incremental costs related to the design and construction, project payroll costs and applicable portions of interest incurred for potential projects in property and equipment. Depreciation of property and equipment of approximately $ 652,000 608,000 Depreciation of property and equipment of approximately $ 1.1 810,000 Intangible assets consist of patents, trademarks, technical know-how, a gaming operations agreement, casino contracts, capitalized software costs 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 capitalized software costs 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. The Company capitalizes certain costs relating to software developed to solely meet the Company’s internal requirements and for which there are no substantive plans to market the software. These costs mainly include payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use software projects during the application development stage until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Costs incurred prior to the criteria met for capitalization are expensed to research and development expenses as incurred. Management has committed the resources of developing social gaming application, and it is probable that the social gaming application will be completed and the software will be used as intended. Such capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related assets. Amortization expenses related to casino contracts were approximately $ 2.4 252,000 26,000 24,000 The Company measures and tests finite-lived intangibles for impairment when there are indicators of impairment in accordance with ASC 360-10-05, Property, Plant and Equipment The Company measures and tests goodwill for impairment, at least annually in accordance with ASC 350-10-05, Intangibles Goodwill and Other Impairment testing for goodwill and other intangibles requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, allocation of related goodwill, assignment of corporate shared assets and liabilities to reporting units, estimated future cash flows and determinations of fair values. While the Company believes its estimates of future revenues and cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions could materially affect the assessment of useful lives, recoverability and fair values. No impairment charges relating to intangible assets were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the increase in additional paid-in-capital account mainly represented issuance of non-cash stock option compensation and the net cash proceeds received from the Company’s subscription rights offering. 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 17. ASC 450, Contingencies, 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 Company’s 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 years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. 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 $ 18,000 126,000 For the discontinued casino operations, the Company’s revenues are measured by the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs and for chips in their possession, if any. Cash discounts, other cash incentives related to casino play and commissions rebated through junkets or tour guides, if any, to customers are recorded as a reduction to casino revenue. Consequently, the Company’s casino revenues are reduced by discounts and commissions. 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/loss. The Company does not accrue jackpot liabilities for its EGM base and progressive jackpots as regulations do not prohibit removal of gaming machines from the gaming floor without payment of the jackpots. 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 were 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 and accessories to end users upon shipment against customer contracts or purchase orders. In accordance with the criteria of ASC 605-45, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, Revenue Recognition The Company also recognizes revenue from the sale of its gaming products and accessories 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 a bill-and-hold basis; ⋅ There must be a fixed schedule for the delivery of goods; ⋅ The Company must not have specific performance obligations such that the earning process is not complete; ⋅ The ordered goods must be segregated from the Company’s inventory and not subject to being used to fill other orders; and ⋅ The product must be complete and ready for shipment. Under the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation 83,000 160,000 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 employer contributions, which were expensed as incurred, were approximately $ 172,000 162,000 Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Employee-related costs associated with research and development and certain costs associated with the development of the social casino platform are included in research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were approximately $ 421,000 387,000 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 ⋅ 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 December 31, 2015 or 2014. 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, 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 On December 31, 2010, the Company effected a Quasi-Reorganization. As of that date, the Company’s deferred taxes were reported in conformity with applicable income tax accounting standards described above, net of applicable valuation allowances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities were recognized for differences between the assigned values and the tax basis of the recognized assets and liabilities with corresponding valuation allowances as appropriate. In accordance with the Quasi-Reorganization requirements, pre-existing tax benefits realized subsequent to the Quasi-Reorganization are recorded directly in equity. Basic earnings/(loss) per share are computed by dividing the reported net earnings/(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. 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 due to the stock options’ exercise price exceeding the Company’s stock price as of December 31, 2015. There were no differences in diluted loss per share from basic loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2014 as the assumed exercise of common stock equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect due to losses. The functional currency of the Company’s international subsidiaries, except for its operations in Cambodia whose functional currency is also U.S. dollars, 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/loss. (US$1 to foreign currency) December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 Australian dollar 1.37 1.23 Hong Kong dollar 7.75 7.76 Philippine peso 47.17 44.84 Thai baht 36.07 32.97 Year Ended December 31, (US$1 to foreign currency) 2015 2014 Australian dollar 1.33 1.11 Hong Kong dollar 7.75 7.75 Philippine peso 45.50 44.47 Thai baht 34.25 32.54 Fair value is defined under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures · Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. · Level 2 Input, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments. · Level 3 Unobservable input, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. This input reflects the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the data that participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available under the circumstances. As of December 31, 2015, the fair values of financial assets and liabilities approximate carrying values due to the short maturities of these items. The Company provides pension benefits to all regular full-time employees in the Philippines through a defined benefit plan. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and salary. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability. The accounting guidance related to employers’ accounting for defined benefit pension plan requires recognition in the balance sheet of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs or credits in other comprehensive income/loss. The company recorded an increase of approximately $ 3,000 12,000 Asset retirement obligations are legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets resulting from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the underlying assets. Recognition of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is required in the period in which it is incurred at its estimated fair value. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the underlying asset and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. The liability is accreted through charges to operating expenses. If the asset retirement obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company recognizes a gain or loss on settlement. The Company records all asset retirement obligations for which it has legal obligations to remove all installation works and reinstate the manufacturing facilities to its original state at its estimated fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized approximately $ 7,000 In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”. The amendments in ASU 2015-02 affect reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-02 to be material to our consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-04, “Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets”, which gives an entity whose year-end does not coincide with a month end the ability to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month end closest to the entities year end. ASU 2015-04 will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-04 to be material to our consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory", which requires inventory to be recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The provisions of this update will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Deferral of the Effective Date”, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to January 1, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the prescribed change on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”, which amends existing guidance on the presentation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities. The amendments in the ASU require that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. This ASU will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2017, with earlier adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating its effect on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which intends to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842): Accounting for Leases”, which changes the accounting for leases, including a requirement to record all leases on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new leases standard on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations”, which intends to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The effective date for this ASU is the same as the effective date for ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. We are currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements. |
