ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements may include our statements regarding our goals,
beliefs, strategies, objectives, plans, including product and service
developments, future financial conditions, results or projections or current
expectations. For example, when we discuss our funding plans and opportunities,
including our expectation that we will finance our operations with the proceeds
from the agreement that we signed with Playtech and that these proceeds should
be sufficient to sustain our operations for the next 12 months, or that we will
concentrate on expanding the TWG venture, or that additional cash will be sought
by pursuing sales of our multi-player Black Jack IP and our mobile gaming
application on a revenue-share basis, we are using a forward looking statement.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such
as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue," the negative of such terms, or
other comparable terminology. These statements are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual
results to be materially different from those contemplated by the
forward-looking statements. The business and operations of Win Gaming Media,
Inc. are subject to substantial risks, which increase the uncertainty inherent
in the forward-looking statements contained in this report. We undertake no
obligation to release publicly the result of any revision to these
forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances
after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Further information on potential factors that could affect our business is
described under the heading "Risks Related to Our Business" in Part I, Item 1,
"Description of Business" of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2007. Readers are also urged to carefully review and
consider the various disclosures we have made in this report.
OVERVIEW
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are
prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results
of operations together with the unaudited financial statements and the notes to
unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
OUR BUSINESS
We are a software and technology developer and provider to companies that
service the interactive gaming industry, delivering cross-platform systems that
are built for mass participation gaming over mobile devices, TV and the
internet. Our software provides and supports play-for-fun and play-for-real
interactive games. We offer four core solutions to companies that offer
play-for-real gaming, namely:
(i) Interactive TV gaming: the provision of software and technology currently
supporting fixed odds games.
(ii) Mobile gaming: the provision of services on mobile devices, including fixed
odds games, multiplayer games, sports betting services, scratch cards and
exchange betting.
(iii) Multiplayer blackjack tournaments: 24/7 availability of a variety of
blackjack tournaments games based on a peer-to-peer technology allowing users to
compete against each other and not against the "house".
(iv) Online gaming: the provision of fixed odds and casino games over the
internet
3
Our technology allows our customers to generate additional revenue from their
existing infrastructure and user base by allowing a subscriber to switch from
one platform, such as Interactive TV, mobile, or internet to another platform
using a single account with the same account balance and user information. In
addition, our technology allows mobile service providers, TV broadcasters and
channels to provide additional content, as well as an increased variety of
services, to their customers.
We enter into license and/or revenue-sharing agreements with our customers under
which the customers use our software and technology to offer games to their
subscribers and pay us a fixed fee and/or a percentage of the net revenues
generated from those games.
On November 6, 2007, we and Two Way Media Ltd (the "Parties") have incorporated
a new entity in Alderney bearing the name Two Way Gaming Limited ("TWG") to
conduct all gaming activity undertaken by the Parties on interactive television,
mobile telephony, participation television and the internet. Both companies are
equal holders of the issued shares of TWG. On the same day the Parties together
with Winner.com (UK) Ltd ("Winner"), agreed to terminate the Interactive Fixed
Odds Betting Services Agreement that was signed between them on February 22,
2005, and the Parties have agreed to grant to Winner an option to purchase
directly from us part of our shareholding in TWG equivalent to 7.5% of the TWG's
total shares subject to certain events. Winner is owned by our current Chief
Executive Officer, Mr. Shimon Citron.
On August 6, 2008, our wholly owned subsidiary Win Gaming Media (Israel) Ltd.,
(formerly MixTV Ltd.), an Israeli corporation ("WGMI"), and Playtech Software
Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation ("Playtech") entered into an
Intellectual Property and Technology Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") under
which Playtech agreed to purchase substantially all of the assets of WGMI,
including but not limited to WGMI's intellectual property ("Purchased Assets")
in consideration of a total amount of $1,750,000. As of September 1, 2008 (1)
$1,250,000 of cash had been paid by Playtech to WGMI, (2) the remaining amount
of $500,000 has been deposited in escrow in accordance with the provision of the
Agreement and of an escrow agreement entered in connection therewith and has
been released to us on November 7, 2008, (3) all of the employees of WGMI were
terminated and 7 of them became employees of Playtech and (4) all of the
Purchased Assets were transferred to Playtech. In addition, we and Playtech have
entered into a Software License Agreement, under which Playetch granted us a
non-exclusive license to use the software products included in the Purchased
Assets for the sole purpose of providing support and maintenance services to
TWG, company jointly owned by us and Two-Way Media Ltd.
As a result, we no longer offer any gaming applications development work and
currently our efforts are devoted toward maintaining and expanding our jointly
owned TWG business in the UK; seeking a revenue-sharing transaction with respect
to our multi-player Black Jack gaming application, and to leverage our wholly
owned subsidiary that is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") Gaming Ventures Plc, by either an
outright sale or by incorporating new activities which shall generate revenue.
In the course of our operation, we have sustained operating losses and expect
such losses to continue in the foreseeable future. To date, we have not
generated sufficient revenues to achieve profitable operations or positive cash
flow from operations. As of September 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of
$17,849,305. There is no assurance that profitable operations, if ever achieved,
will be sustained on a continuing basis. During the three months ended September
30, 2008, we derived approximately 85% of our revenues from two major customers.
Our shares of common stock are currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Effective May 1, 2008 our name was changed to Win Gaming Media, Inc., and on
June 20, 2008, our trading symbol was changed to WGMI.OB.
GOING CONCERN
We have generated revenues since inception but they are not currently an
adequate source of cash to fund future operations. Historically we have relied
on private placement issuances of equity and convertible notes.
4
We expect to finance our operations with the proceeds from the agreement that we
signed with Playtech, all of which has been fully received. These proceeds
should be sufficient to sustain our operations for the next 12 months. In
addition, we generate 85% of our revenues from 2 existing customers -
Cablevision and TWG. To control expenses we are managed by our CEO on a part
time basis. Other services such as the responsibilities of a CFO and COO shall
continue to be rendered to us on an outsourced contractual basis and we will
have no employees on our payroll. We will concentrate on expanding the TWG
venture, in which we hold 50% of the outstanding equity. Additional cash will be
sought by pursuing sales of our multi-player Black Jack IP and our mobile gaming
application on a revenue-share basis. We will also seek to leverage our wholly
owned subsidiary that is registered with the SEC under the 1934 Act, Gaming
Ventures, by either an outright sale or by incorporating new activities which
shall generate revenues.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 COMPARED TO THREE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007.
REVENUES AND COST OF REVENUES
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 decreased by 66% to
$72,556 from $214,328 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Total
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased by 51% to
$1,059,546 from $698,198 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The
changes in revenues are mainly due to the service agreement with TWG, our
jointly held company with Two Way Media, offset by the termination of the
agreement with Two Way Media and Winner.com (UK) Ltd and from service revenues
that we had in 2007 due to our license agreement with Golden Palace Ltd for the
license of our multiplayer blackjack tournaments which we didn't have in 2008.
Effective July 1, 2008, we started to recognize revenues from TWG on a cash
basis, since that we have suffered from major decrease in our recognized
revenues.
Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased by 296%
to $354,367 from $89,423 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Cost of
revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased by 307% to
$1,128,468 from $276,711. These increases in the cost of revenues are
attributable to costs related to our service agreement with TWG, our jointly
held company with Two Way Media, mainly during the first 6 months ended June 30,
2008.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008
decreased by 82% to $59,201 from $341,189 for the three months ended September
30, 2007. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 2008 decreased by 90% to $161,849 from $1,618,437 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. The decreases are primarily attributable to the transfer and
layoff of employees, decreased general and administrative expenses allocated to
the research and development department as a result of the transfer and lay off
of employees, allocation of employees to the cost of service due to our service
agreement with Two Way Gaming, and decreased stock based compensation due to
headcount reduction.
SALES AND MARKETING
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008
decreased by 68% to $6,304 from $20,094 for the three months ended September 30,
2007. Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
decreased by 78% to $29,410 from $133,296 for the nine months ended September
30, 2007. These decreases in sales and marketing expenses are primarily
attributable to the transfer and layoff of employees, decreased stock based
compensation, decreased general and administrative expenses allocated to
marketing and sales as a result of the transfer and lay off of employees, and to
a decrease of travel.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30,
2008 decreased by 57% to $300,586 from $702,399 for the three months ended
September 30, 2007. General and administrative expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008 decreased by 73% to $347,314 from $1,305,014 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007. These decreases in general and
administrative expenses are primarily attributable to the layoff of employees;
decreased stock based compensation and decreased general and administrative
expenses. These decreases are offset by an allowance of $924,742 for doubtful
account related to TWG which was accrued during the period of three months ended
September 30, 2008.These general and administrative expenses were also offset by
an allowance of $720,126 made to reduce our share in TWG losses as a result of
changing our revenue recognition policy from TWG to a cash based recognition.
5
OTHER INCOME
Other income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased to
$1,690,488 from $31,550 and $69,592 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007, respectively. These increases in other income are
primarily attributable to the capital gain incurred in selling the Purchased
Assets of WGMI to Playtech.
NET INCOME (LOSS)
Net income from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30,
2008 was $547,389 compared to a net loss of $905,667 for the three months ended
September 30, 2007. Net loss from continuing operations for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008 was $504,878 as compared to net loss of $2,484,320 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Net income per share from continuing
operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $0.017_as compared
to a net loss per share of $0.028 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $0.015 as
compared to $0.078 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The net loss
decreases for the periods of three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 are
primarily attributable to a decrease in operating expenses due to the layoff of
our employees and decreased stock based compensation and income generated as a
result of the transaction with Playtech. In the period of nine months ended
September 30 2008, we generated $1,181,114 equity losses from our affiliated
company, TWG. The investment is recorded as a liability since we and TWM are
guarantors in equal parts to the affiliated losses. Our weighted average number
of shares of common stock used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share
for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was 32,319,031
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 2008, total current assets were $1,098,654 and total current
liabilities were $543,931. On September 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit
of $17,849,305. We finance our operations and plan to continue doing so with a
combination of stock issuances and revenues from product sales. We had working
capital of $554,723on September 30, 2008 compared with a working capital deficit
of $189,912 on December 31, 2007. Cash and cash equivalents on September 30,
2008 were $359,939, an increase of $212,893 from the $147,046_reported on
December 31, 2007. The increase in cash is primarily attributable to aggregate
proceeds of $1,250,000 received as a result of the agreement that was signed
with Playtech. The remaining amount of $500,000 to be paid to us under this
agreement was deposited in escrow in accordance with the provisions of the
agreement and of an escrow agreement entered in connection therewith and
released to us on November 7, 2008.
Operating activities used cash of $1,107,096 in the nine months ended September
30, 2008. Cash used by operating activities in the nine months ended September
30, 2008 results primarily from a net loss of $513,317, a $233,415 increase in
employees and payroll accruals, offset by a capital gain of $1,786,677 for
selling the Purchased Assets as part of the WGMI Playtech agreement and
$1,181,114 equity losses of affiliated company, offset by $385,580 increase in
accounts receivable and other current assets.
Investing activities provided cash of $1,320,960 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. Cash provided by investing activities in the nine months
ended September 30, 2008 results mainly from the sale of computers and software
equipment to Playtech as part of the Playtech -WGMI agreement.
No cash was generated, net from financing activities generated during the nine
months ended September 30, 2008.
On March 10, 2008, our board of directors, or the Board, approved our entry into
a convertible debt transaction with one of our directors, Mr. Shimon Citron, who
has since been appointed as our CEO. The transaction which was subject to
shareholders' approval at a special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting was
approved on April 29, 2008, or the Meeting. The transaction was documented by a
Convertible Loan Agreement, a Convertible Promissory Note, a Security Agreement
and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant, all of which was dated as of March 6, 2008,
and was collectively referred to as the "Loan Agreement Documents." On April 29,
2008, the transaction was approved by the holders of a majority of our common
stock.
6
Under the Loan Agreement Documents, Mr. Citron has provided us with a loan in
the aggregate principal amount of $500,000, which was to be advanced to the
Company in seven installments of different amounts commencing February 24, 2008
and ending July 9, 2008. As of the date hereof, payments in the aggregate amount
of $500,000 have been transferred to the Company. In addition, on August 12
2008, Mr. Citron advanced an additional amount of $50,000 under similar terms to
the terms set in the original Loan Agreement Documents.
In addition, under the Loan Agreement Documents:
o We issued a Secured Promissory Note to Mr. Citron, which Note is
convertible into shares of our common stock at a per-share conversion price
equal to the average closing price of our common stock for the five trading
days preceding the date on which the first monthly installment if advanced
by Mr. Citron. The first advance occurred on February 24, 2008. The
conversion price based on the foregoing formula is $0.0595 per share of
common stock. The Note will accrue interest at a rate of 15% per annum.
Payment of principal and interest by us will be payable in cash, or at the
election of Mr. Citron in shares of Common Stock valued at $0.0595. The
Note also contains customary events of default, including receivership or
bankruptcy proceedings, judgments in access of $100,000, and certain
trading and SEC suspensions. The Note matures on March 6, 2009.
We entered a Security Agreement to secure the performance by us of our
obligations under the Loan Agreement Documents. We granted to Mr. Citron a first
ranking priority security interest in substantially all of our assets.
o We agreed to file within 60 days of conversion of the Note a registration
statement with the SEC, and to use our best efforts to register for resale
the shares issued to Mr. Citron under the Note and a Warrant granted to Mr.
Citron. Under the Warrant agreement, Mr. Citron is entitled to purchase
from us up to 8,403,361 shares of common stock at a per share price of
$0.0595. This warrant may be exercised until 5 years from the issuance
date. Mr. Citron will have the option for one year from the effective date
of such registration statement to purchase up to an additional $500,000
worth of Common Stock and Warrants at a price of $0.0595 per share.
On August 22, 2008, we issued Mr. Citron a notice of redemption (the "Notice")
pursuant to which we paid Mr. Citron the full principal amount of the loan
described above, together with the other advances of $50,000 and together with
accrued but unpaid interest thereon within 30 days from the date of the Notice.
OUTLOOK
Our current cash (after giving effect to our sale of assets to Playtech) will be
sufficient to meet our anticipated requirements for the next 12 months. We
believe that our future growth will depend upon the success of our TWG venture
and the results of the license agreement with Playtech. As part of our efforts
to broaden our cash basis and generate additional revenues, we will pursue sales
of our multi-player Black Jack IP and our mobile gaming application on a
revenue-share basis. We will also seek to leverage our wholly owned subsidiary
that is registered with the SEC under the 1934 Act, Gaming Ventures Plc, by
either an outright sale or by incorporating new activities which shall generate
revenues.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES - We maintain a system of
disclosure controls and procedures that are designed for the purposes of
ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and
that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer
("CFO") as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
7
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO,
of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) of the 1934 Act. Based on that evaluation and the material
weakness described below, management concluded that we did not maintain
effective disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2008. Our
management has identified control deficiencies regarding: 1) lack of segregation
of duties; 2) qualification and training of employees and, 3) the need for
stronger internal control environment. Our management believes that these
deficiencies which in the aggregate constitute a material weakness are due to
the small size of our staff, exacerbated by the resignations of our CEO and
Chief Financial Officer in 2007. The Board of Directors took action to replace
these positions; however, our small size may continue to make it challenging to
maintain adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to
the potential costs of such remediation.
The ineffectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30,
2008 stemmed in large part from several significant changes of the Company's
executive officers, discontinued operations and personnel cutbacks. Although we
continue to strive to provide improved disclosure controls and procedures into
the future, in the interim, these changes caused control deficiencies, which in
the aggregate resulted in a material weakness.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING - Except for the hiring of
our new CFO, there has been no change in our internal control over financial
reporting during the third quarter of 2008 that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
