Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
PokerTek, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PokerTek, Inc.(“PokerTek” or the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules of PokerTek, Inc. listed in Item 15(a). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PokerTek as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We were not engaged to examine management's assessment of the effectiveness of PokerTek’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, included in the accompanying “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

The PokerPro system consists of electronic poker table(s) and related peripheral equipment providing commercial casinos, tribal casinos, cruise ships and card clubs with a fully-automated poker-room environment designed to improve the profitability of poker by enhancing the operator’s revenue opportunities and decreasing their startup and operating costs. Heads-Up Challenge is an innovative amusement platform that enables two players to compete head to head against each other for entertainment purposes in non-gambling venues such as bars and restaurants.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PokerTek, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. They have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue as it is earned in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. If multiple product deliverables are included under a sale or license agreement, the Company allocates revenue to each product based upon their respective fair values in relation to the total contract value and defers revenue recognition on those deliverables that have not met all requirements of revenue recognition.
Revenues from product sales, including sales of casino products to Aristocrat International Pty. Limited (“Aristocrat”), the Company’s international distributor for PokerPro gaming products (through January 15, 2010) and a significant shareholder, are recognized when all of the following have occurred:
● | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; |
● | The fee is fixed or determinable; |
● | Collectibility is reasonably assured; and |
● | Title and risk of loss have passed to the customer. |
In many cases, arrangements include recurring fees based on either a fixed monthly fee or a pre-determined percentage of the amount the casino or card club charges for each hand of poker (the “rake”). In some cases, the Company may also charge separately for installation, training and post contract customer support (“PCS”). Where the Company is responsible for performing initial installation and training, all revenue is deferred until such time as those services have been rendered. Following installation, license and service fees are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. This normally occurs on a monthly basis as the amounts contractually due are computed and invoiced, PCS is delive red and all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied.
In cases where upfront fees are charged upon delivery of hardware and the Company is responsible for delivering other services such as maintenance and support following installation, the delivery of hardware is generally not considered a separate deliverable and the upfront fees are recognized ratably.
Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers all cash accounts and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Investments in Auction Rate Securities (“ARS”): The Company accounts for its auction rate securities at fair value.
Concentrations of credit risk: Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivables. The Company’s credit risk is managed by investing primarily in high-quality money market instruments and accounts guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies.
Receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts: The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses on its customer receivable balances and the credit worthiness of its customers on an ongoing basis and records related allowances for doubtful accounts. Allowances are estimated based upon specific customer balances, where a risk of default has been identified, and also include a provision for non-customer specific defaults based upon historical experience. As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $157,170 and $81,403, respectively. If circumstances related to specific customers change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables could also change.
Deferred licensing fees: Deferred licensing fees consist of amounts paid to various regulatory agencies. As approvals are obtained, the Company begins expensing the fees over the estimated term of the license. Deferred licensing fees are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Patents. Legal fees and application costs related to the Company’s patent application process are expensed as incurred. There is a high degree of uncertainty in the outcome of approval for any of the Company’s patents.
Research and development: Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred and are included in the consolidated statements of operations, except when certain qualifying expenses are capitalized. Capitalization of development costs of software products begins once the technological feasibility of the product is established. Capitalization ceases when such software is ready for general release, at which time amortization of the capitalized costs begins. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, no amounts had been capitalized as technological feasibility is generally established at or near the time of general release. Research and development costs include salaries, benefits, travel and other inte rnal costs allocated to software and hardware development efforts, as well as purchased components, engineering services and other third-party costs.
Advertising: Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $10,897, $41,859, and $129,625, respectively.
Inventories : Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, where cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories also include parts from PokerPro systems that have been used at customer sites and returned for refurbishment and subsequent redeployment with customers. Those inventory items are stated at the lower of cost or market, where cost is determined based on the undepreciated cost of the returned items. We regularly review inventory for slow moving, obsolete and excess characteristics and evaluate whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
PokerPro systems, Heads-Up Challenge units and property and equipment: PokerPro systems and Heads-Up Challenge units represent equipment owned by PokerTek. The majority of this equipment is operated at customer sites pursuant to contractual license agreements. PokerPro systems may also include equipment used by the Company for demonstration or testing purposes.
PokerPro systems and Heads-Up Challenge units are transferred from the Company’s respective inventory accounts to the PokerPro systems and Heads-Up Challenge units accounts at the time the units are fully assembled, configured, tested and otherwise ready for use by a customer. Because the configuration of each PokerPro system is unique to the specific customer environment in which it is being placed, the final steps to configure and test the unit generally occur immediately prior to shipment. Depreciation expense for PokerPro systems begins in the month of transfer of each PokerPro system from the Company’s inventory account to the PokerPro systems account.
PokerPro systems, Heads-Up Challenge units and property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The Company includes an allocation of direct labor, indirect labor and overhead for each PokerPro system. Costs not clearly related to the procurement, manufacture and implementation are expensed as incurred. As PokerPro systems are returned from customer sites, the hardware components are dismantled and transferred to inventory at depreciated cost, and all labor, overhead and installation costs capitalized in connection with the original installation are expensed immediately. As the systems are returned to the Company’s warehouse, the various hardware components are individually taken apart, inspected, tested, thoroughly cleaned and refurbished with new components as needed for redeployment. Unusable parts ar e scrapped. Refurbished systems are transferred from inventory to the PokerPro systems account and depreciated over their estimated useful life in a manner consistent with new PokerPro systems described above. In addition, when the Company’s products have been delivered but the revenue associated with the arrangement has been deferred, the Company transfers the balance from inventory to PokerPro systems. This balance is then charged to customer revenue as the related deferred revenue is recognized.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Estimated useful lives are generally three years for PokerPro systems and Heads-Up Challenge units and five years for internal-use equipment and office furniture. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the useful life of the improvement. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
The Company evaluates property and equipment for impairment as an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the property and equipment below the carrying amount. If the carrying amount of property and equipment is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, then the Company would recognize an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the current fair value. Further, the Company evaluates the remaining useful lives of property and equipment at each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining depreciation periods.
Offering costs: Offering costs incurred in connection with the Company’s equity offerings, consisting principally of legal, accounting and underwriting fees, have been charged to additional paid in capital. As of December 31, 2009, approximately $3.2 million of offering costs on a cumulative basis had been incurred. During 2009, no additional offering costs were incurred.
Income taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes and uncertain tax positions in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.
The accounting for income taxes involves significant judgments and estimates and deals with complex tax regulations. The recoverability of certain deferred tax assets is based in part on estimates of future income and the timing of temporary differences (see Note 12 – “Income Taxes”).
Effective January 2007, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes which requires a company to evaluate whether the tax position will more likely than not be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. It also provides guidance on how a company should measure the amount of benefit that the company is to recognize in its financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company's policy is to include interest and penalties recognized in conjunction with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties were recognized to date as the amounts did not result in a reduction of income taxe s previously payable by the Company.
Earnings (loss) per share: The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Di luted EPS excludes all potential dilutive shares due to their anti-dilutive effect.
Share-based compensation: The Company values its stock options issued based upon the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognizes the compensation over the period in which the options vest. There are inherent estimates made by management regarding the calculation of stock option expense, including volatility, expected life and forfeiture rate (see Note 11 – “Shareholders’ Equity – Stock Incentive Plan”).
For stock options issued subsequent to January 1, 2006, the Company recognizes compensation expense for options that vest over time using the straight-line attribution approach. For time-based options issued prior to January 1, 2006, the Company continues to use the graded attribution approach. For performance-based options issued to third parties, compensation expense is determined at each reporting date in accordance with the fair value method. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. Compensation expense is recorded based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date and then revalued, or the total compensation is recalculated, based on the current fair value at each subsequent reporting date.
Warrants: The Company evaluates its outstanding warrants at issuance and at each quarter end. As a result of its evaluation and analysis, management determined that its warrants should be classified as equity instruments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Under generally accepted accounting principles, fair value is defined as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” The fair value hierarchy for measurement and disclosure of the fair value for financial instruments is as follows: Level 1 inputs as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 inputs as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by market data; and Level 3 inputs as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models or instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is determined at each balance sheet date and future declines in market conditions, the future performance of the underlying investments or new information could affect the recorded values of the Company’s investments.
Subsequent Events – Management has evaluated all events and transactions that occurred from January 1, 2010 through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued, for subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. There were no material subsequent events required to be recognized or disclosed in the financial statements.
Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications of previously reported balances have been made to conform with the current presentation. These reclassifications primarily were to present revenues by segment and to present gross profit on the face of the statements of operations. In connection with the presentation of gross profit, certain costs which had previously been classified as selling, general and administrative were reclassified to cost of revenue. Management believes that the reclassifications improve the usefulness of the financial information for the reader and are consistent with the manner in which financial information is reviewed by management for internal decision making. Such reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net loss or share holders’ equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which amended the accounting requirements regarding revenue recognition for software. The objective of this update is to address the accounting for revenue arrangements that contain tangible products and software. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and allows for either prospective or retrospective application, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance which amended the accounting requirements regarding revenue recognition. The objective of this update is to address the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than as a combined unit. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and allows for either prospective or retrospective application, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued guidance on measuring liabilities at fair value. The guidance addresses restrictions on the transfer of a liability and clarifies how the price of a traded debt security should be considered in estimating the fair value of the issuer’s liability. The guidance is effective for our fourth quarter period beginning October 1, 2009. The adoption and application of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the single source of authoritative non-governmental GAAP. This codification supersedes all previously issued accounting pronouncements and consolidates technical accounting literature. This codification was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption and application the FASB codification did not have any effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. References to superceded accounting pronouncements have been replaced with references to the Codification sections and/or plain English explanations.
In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date. This guidance was effective for interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. This guidance was amended in February 2010. It requires public reporting companies to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The adoption did not impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance requiring disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements, as well as disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This statement was effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Note 2. Operations and Liquidity Management.
Historically, the Company has incurred net losses and used cash from financing activities to fund its operations. During 2009, the Company reduced its operating expenses in order to improve its operating results and use of cash. The Company also renewed its credit facility, closed a private placement transaction and entered into several other transactions to improve its liquidity. As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s cash balance was approximately $0.6 million and its availability from its credit line was approximately $0.8 million. Cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 was approximately $(2.3) million. The level of additional cash needed to fund operations and the Company’s ability to conduct its business for the next year is influenced primarily by the following factors:
Gaming:
● | The pace of growth and the related spending on market penetration, regulatory efforts and related investments in inventory. |
● | The successful transition to a heavier mix of recurring revenue, which generates less upfront cash compared to selling directly to an international distributor but still requires significant investments in inventory. |
Amusement:
● | The pace of growth and the related spending on investments in inventory and existing purchase commitments. |
● | The successful transition of its domestic business to a recurring revenue licensing business and balancing that business with product sales internationally to generate cash flow. |
Corporate:
● | Management’s ability to control operating expenses as the business grows internationally and becomes more geographically diverse. |
● | Management’s ability to negotiate favorable payment terms with our customers and vendors. |
● | Management’s ability to access the capital markets and maintain availability under its credit line. |
● | The impact of the economy or other factors on customers and suppliers, including the impact on demand for the Company’s products and customers’ ability to pay on a timely basis. |
Management’s operating plan for 2010 is to balance revenue growth with operating expense control and working capital management while carefully monitoring the impact of growth on cash needs and cash balances. Should it become necessary, management plans to reduce expenditures related to inventory procurement and decrease variable operating expenses. In addition, management may also seek to raise additional capital or expand its credit facilities to bolster liquidity and to accelerate business growth during 2010.
Note 3. Investments in Auction Rate Securities (“ARS”)
As of December 31, 2008, the Company held investments in ARS, as well as a Rights Option issued by UBS Financial Services, giving the Company the right to put the ARS investments back to UBS at par for a specified period of time beginning on January 2, 2009.
On January 5, 2009, the Company exercised its rights under the UBS Rights Offering to sell the ARS investments to UBS at par. As a result, the Company received $3.9 million from the sale of the ARS investments, liquidated its outstanding UBS Credit Facility in the amount of $2.9 million, which resulted in $1.0 million in net proceeds to the Company. Since the investments were redeemed at par, there was no realized gain or loss associated with this transaction. The Company has no remaining ARS investments and the UBS Credit Facility has been terminated.
The following table presents information about the Company's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

SVB Credit Facility : The Company maintains a credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank to support the Company’s working capital needs (the “SVB Credit Facility”). On July 23, 2009, the Company entered into amendments to the SVB Credit Facility, which extended the maturity date for the facility to July 23, 2010, adjusted the facility amount to have a Facility Limit of $2.5 million with maximum advances determined based on the composition of our eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances and modified certain other provisions of the facility. The SVB Credit Facility has a one-year term and bears interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of 6.5% or prime plus 2.0%.
Based on the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory levels on December 31, 2009, as of such date availability was approximately $0.8 million with no borrowings outstanding. The SVB Credit Facility includes covenants requiring the achievement of specified financial ratios and thresholds and contains other terms and conditions customary for this type of credit facility. As of December 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The SVB Credit Facility is collateralized by security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company and is senior to the Founders’ Loan.
As of December 31, 2009, there were no amounts drawn under the SVB Credit Facility.
UBS Credit Facility: On August 13, 2008, the Company entered into a Credit Line Agreement (the “Line of Credit”) with UBS Bank USA for a demand revolving line of credit with respect to the Company’s ARS held in an account with UBS. On January 5, 2009, the Company exercised its rights under the UBS Rights Offering to sell the ARS investments to UBS at par.
As a result, the Company liquidated its outstanding UBS Credit Facility in the amount of $2.9 million. The Company has no remaining ARS investments, and the UBS Credit Facility has been terminated.
Founders’ Loan: The Company entered into a loan agreement with Lyle A. Berman, James T. Crawford, Arthur L. Lomax and Gehrig H. White on March 24, 2008. Messrs. Crawford, Lomax and White are the founders of the Company. Each of the lenders is also a member of our board of directors, with Mr. Berman serving as Chairman and Mr. White serving as Vice Chairman. The $2.0 million loan originally called for cash interest at 13% with all unpaid principal and interest payable on March 24, 2010.
On July 9, 2009, the Founders’ Loan was amended to provide that monthly interest payments may be made, at the election of the holder, in our common stock at a 13% annual interest rate pursuant to a formula or cash at a 9% annual interest rate. In addition, the maturity date of the loan was extended to March 21, 2012.
On September 10, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Lyle A. Berman, James T. Crawford and Arthur L. Lomax to convert an aggregate $1.2 million principal amount of the loans into common stock. Gehrig H. White and Arthur L. Lomax continue to hold $500,000 and $300,000 principal amounts, respectively, of the loans.
The loan contains no restrictive covenants and, following the conversion described above, is collateralized by security interests in 62 PokerPro systems. Such interests have been subordinated to the SVB Credit Facility.
As of December 31, 2009, the carrying value of the Founders’ Loan was $0.8 million and its fair value was approximately $0.8 million.
Capital Lease Obligation: During 2008, the Company entered into capital lease obligations totaling $73,273 to finance the purchase of a new internal-use ERP system. These capital lease obligations bear interest at an annual rate of 9.4% and have a term of 36 months, resulting in monthly payments of $2,396. At the end of the lease term, the Company has the option to purchase the software for $101. The net book value of the assets under lease at December 31, 2009 was $96,044. Related depreciation expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $51,784 and $8,668, respectively, resulting in accumulated depreciation of $61,024.
Note 10. Employee Benefit Plan
The Company has established a salary deferral plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering substantially all employees. The plan allows eligible employees to defer 3% to 5% of their annual compensation. The Company matches the contributions equal to 100% on the first 3% of the deferral and 50% on the deferral from 3% to 5%. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 the Company’s contributions were $68,146, $134,478 and $110,473, respectively.

Common Stock: There are 100,000,000 authorized shares of the Company’s common stock of which 14,015,658 and 11,021,429 were outstanding as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
On April 23, 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 1,444,444 shares of common stock in a private placement to certain investors for a purchase price of $9.00 per share. The private placement, which was completed on April 26, 2007, resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $13.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $12.5 million after fees and expenses associated with the private placement including a cash placement-agent fee.
On August 13, 2009, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with ICP Electronics, Inc. pursuant to which we agreed to sell 565,000 shares of common stock to ICP Electronics. The shares of common stock that were sold were valued at a price of $0.85 per share and were exchanged with ICP Electronics for 191 Heads-Up Challenge units for immediate delivery. As of October 9, 2009, the Company sold an additional 120,000 shares of common stock to ICP Electronics pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 9, 2009. The shares were valued at a price of $0.90 per share and were exchanged with ICP Electronics in payment for products and services. The shares were sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(6) and Regulation S. As of November 13, 2009, ICP Electronics owns 685,000, or 4.89%, of our outstanding shares.
On August 28, 2009, the Company completed a private placement for $500,000, issuing 686,090 shares. Lyle A. Berman, our Chairman, invested $250,000 to purchase 328,947 shares at $0.76, the consolidated closing bid price immediately preceding the transaction. A second investor invested $250,000 to purchase 357,143 shares at $0.70. The shares were sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(6) and Regulation 506 under the Securities Act.
On September 10, 2009, the Company entered into binding agreements with three debt holders to convert an aggregate of $1.2 million principal amount of loans into 1,445,784 shares of common stock, at a conversion price of $0.83 per share, which represented the consolidated closing bid price on the NASDAQ Capital Markets exchange as of the close of the trading day immediately preceding these transactions. Lyle A. Berman, James T. Crawford and Arthur L. Lomax, all members of our Board of Directors, agreed to participate in the debt conversion. Mr. Berman converted $500,000, Mr. Crawford converted $500,000 and Mr. Lomax converted $200,000 of outstanding loan principal to common stock, in a transaction that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to Section 3 (a)(9) and Section 4(6) of the Act.
On October 15, 2009, the Company issued 51,515 shares of common stock at a price of $0.99 per share to the members of our Board of Directors for payment of board compensation for the third quarter of 2009. The number of shares was determined by dividing board compensation by the average closing price on the NASDAQ Capital Market for the 10 business days preceding the end of the quarterly period. Had the calculated average price per share been less than $0.71, the shares would have been issued at $0.71 per share, the closing bid price on the effective date of the Board Member Agreements. The calculation of the average price per share was structured to comply with NASDAQ’s equity compensation rules which limit stock issuances to insiders at less than fair market value.
Preferred Stock: There are 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, none of which are outstanding as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Warrants
As part of the April 2007 private placement, the Company issued each Investor a warrant (the “Warrants”) to acquire additional shares of the Company’s common stock (together, the “Warrant Shares”). The Warrants, which expire on April 26, 2012, were convertible into an aggregate of 505,555 Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $10.80 per Warrant Share. The Warrants contain customary anti-dilution provisions and certain demand and participatory registration rights. The Warrants also include a “cashless” exercise provision entitling the Investors to convert the Warrants into shares of the Company’s common stock.
On November 24, 2008, the Company entered into agreements (the “Warrant Modification Agreements”) with each of the holders of the Warrants. Pursuant to the Warrant Modification Agreements, the Company and each of the Warrant holders agreed to amend the Warrants so that (1) the Original Exercise Price would be reduced to $0.50 per share (the “New Exercise Price”), and (2) the proportionate anti-dilution adjustment to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under certain circumstances would be eliminated in all cases except upon payment of stock dividends, or subdivision or combination of shares (such as through stock splits or reverse stock splits). The New Exercise Price was reached through independent negotiation with the holders of the Warrants in consideration of the elimination of the Proportionate Share Increase and not in any manner as an indication of the perceived value of the Company’s common stock.
Following the modification of the Warrants, 318,719 were redeemed, resulting in the issuance of 156,719 shares of common stock, and reducing the number of Warrants outstanding to 186,836 as of December 31, 2009.
Stock Incentive Plans
The Company’s shareholders have approved stock incentive plans, including the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan adopted at the 2009 Annual Shareholder’s Meeting, authorizing the issuance of stock option, restricted stock and other forms of equity compensation. At December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, options to purchase 2,078,300 and 2,023,263 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding and held by certain directors, officers, employees and independent contractors of the Company. Pursuant to the approved stock incentive plans 1,015,950 shares remained available for grant as of December 31, 2009.
On September 22, 2009, the Company entered into agreements with ten option holders, including directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company, to issue 832,000 new incentive stock options and contemporaneously cancel an equal amount of outstanding incentive stock options held by the option holders. The new options which were issued have an exercise price of $0.81 per share of common stock, vest over a period of three years and have an expiration date of September 11, 2019.
The exchange transaction was a negotiated one and was approved in principle by the Company's shareholders at their 2009 Annual meeting. The Company's offer was made on September 11, 2009, with the exercise price based on the closing bid price on that date. The option holders were given the opportunity to evaluate the offer and to accept it effective September 22, 2009. The new incentive options were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on the basis that the transactions represented an exchange of securities with the Company's existing security holders. Total incremental estimated compensation cost related to the exchanged stock options was $177,393 and is included in share-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operation s.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Options granted under the plans generally vest over periods ranging from date of grant to four years and expire in ten years. Principal assumptions are as follows: (a) expected future volatility for the Company's stock price is based on a combination of the Company’s historical volatility and observed volatility rates of other companies in the gaming industry, (b) expected term is based on historical exercise data and forfeitures, (c) the forfeiture rate is derived from an expectation of future forfeitures and (d) the risk-free rate is the rate on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity equal to, or closest to, the expected life of the options.
The amount of related expense calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognized in 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $657,673, $1,106,113 and $822,349, respectively.

As of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $27,638,000 and $24,427,000, respectively, North Carolina net economic loss carryforwards of approximately $12,270,000 and $11,311,000, respectively and California net operating losses in the amounts of approximately $490,000 and $431,000, respectively. Included in the federal net operating loss carryforward is a deduction for the exercise of nonqualified stock options. However, the net operating loss attributable to the excess of the tax deduction for the exercised nonqualified stock options over the cumulative deduction recorded in the consolidated financial statements is not recorded as a deferred tax asset. The benefit of the excess deduction of $37,000 will be recorded to additional paid in capital when the Com pany realizes a reduction in its current taxes payable. These carryforwards can be used to offset taxable income in future years, which expire through 2028. The Company also has research and experimentation tax credit carryforwards for federal of approximately $419,000. These credit carryforwards may be used to offset federal income taxes in future years through their expiration in 2027.
The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has assessed its earnings history and anticipated earnings, the expiration date of the carryforwards and other factors and has determined that valuation allowances should be established against the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. The change in the valuation allowance of $1,794,583 for the year ended December 31, 2009 was due to the increase in net deferred tax assets, principally driven by increases in deferred tax assets related to depreciation of PokerPro systems, and loss carryforwards.
The following table summarizes the changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Unrecognized tax benefits at January 1 | | $ | 537,706 | | | $ | 191,896 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Gross increases—tax positions in prior period | | | - | | | | 191,896 | |

Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31 | | $ | 418,907 | | | $ | 537,706 | |
The Company files U.S. federal, U.S. state and Canadian tax returns. 2005 through 2009 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS for U.S. federal tax purposes, as do U.S. state tax returns by the appropriate state taxing authorities and the Canadian tax returns by Revenue Canada.
The utilization of the Company's net operating losses may be subject to a substantial limitation should a change of ownership occur or have occurred, as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards before their utilization. Currently, a valuation allowance equal to the total deferred tax assets has been established. As such, any limitation resulting from the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards would be immaterial to the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Prior to any potential utilization, the Company does plan to undertake a detailed study in order to determine any potential § 382 limitations. The Company is unable to fully estimate the impact of any such § 382 li mitations nor has it undertaken the steps necessary to fully estimate the potential benefits that may be available to it from the utilization of net operating losses in future periods.

On July 9, 2009, the Founders’ Loan was amended to provide that monthly interest payments may be made, at the election of the holder, in our common stock at a 13% annual interest rate pursuant to a formula or cash at a 9% annual interest rate. In addition, the maturity date of the loan was extended to March 21, 2012.

Such interests have been subordinated to the SVB Credit Facility. During 2009, the Company made $150,012 in aggregate interest payments in cash and issued 56,086 shares of stock in payment of interest. 1,445,784 shares were issued to certain of the lenders in connection with the conversion of $1.2 million of the outstanding debt balance.

Employment Agreements
The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain officers that include commitments related to base salaries and certain benefits. These agreements have terms of two years.
Reviews and Audits by Regulatory Authorities
The Company’s operations are subject to a number of regulatory authorities, including various gaming regulators, the Internal Revenue Service, and other state and local authorities. From time to time, the Company is notified by such authorities of reviews or audits they wish to conduct. The Company may be subject to other income, property, sales and use or franchise tax audits in the normal course of business.
Indemnification
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with the members of its Board and corporate officers, which provides for indemnification for related expenses including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred in any action or proceeding.
The Company also indemnifies its casino customers from any claims or suits brought by a third party alleging infringement of a United States patent, copyright or mask work right. The Company agrees to pay all costs and damages, provided the customer provides prompt written notice of any claim.
Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to claims and assertions in the ordinary course of business. Legal matters are inherently unpredictable, and the Company's assessments may change based on future unknown or unexpected events.
On August 21, 2009, a complaint was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada by Marvin Roy Feldman. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages related to the Company's distribution of PokerPro in Mexico. Prior to filing the complaint, the plaintiff provided correspondence to the Company requesting $250,000 or four PokerPro tables as compensation. While litigation is inherently unpredictable and subject to judicial and other risks beyond our control, we estimate the potential cost of this matter to range between $0 and $250,000. We believe that we have several meritorious defenses to these claims, and we intend to defend ourselves vigorously.
Note 15. Segment Information
The Company reports segment information based on the “management approach.” The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments.
The Company’s business is organized and reported in two segments, Gaming and Amusement, which are described in Note 1 – “Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies.” The Company evaluates the performance of its two segments primarily based on revenues and gross margin.

Note 16. Subsequent Events
International Distribution – On January 15, 2010, the Company terminated its Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Aristocrat.
The Company agreed to assume responsibility for (and take title to) certain PokerPro tables currently installed at specified customer locations. In return for transfer of these tables, the Company agreed to relieve Aristocrat of all responsibility and related costs to service, support, maintain, replace and repair those tables.
In addition, the Company entered into an Equipment Purchase Arrangement to purchase inventory held by Aristocrat on terms favorable to the Company. The Equipment Purchase Arrangement provides that the purchase price for the purchased equipment will be paid as the purchased equipment is deployed and revenues are received by the Company. As revenues are received on a cash basis, the payment to Aristocrat will be calculated as 20% of the gross revenue attributable to each table, up to a specified cap.
On March 23, 2010, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ’s Listing Qualifications Department, dated March 16, 2010, which stated that the Staff had made a determination that the Company’s common stock would be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market. The determination was based on the fact that the bid price of the Company’s common stock had not closed above $1.00 for a consecutive period of ten days during the preceding 180 days. The Company has appealed the Staff’s determination to a Hearing Panel and will present its plan to regain compliance, which may include a reverse stock split and other discussion of events that will enable it to regain compliance within a time period granted by the Hearing Panel. Such time period may last up to an additional 180 days. Pending its appeal, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
