CADILLAC JACK, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(An Indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Amaya Gaming Group Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012
Cadillac Jack, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Amaya Gaming Group Inc. (“Amaya”), is a diversified gaming company that specializes in the design, manufacturing, operation, sales, and servicing of gaming technologies for the global gaming marketplace. The Company’s sales and marketing efforts focus on Native American Class II and Class III commercial gaming markets. The Company also derived some revenue from sales of products in the Amusement with Prizes markets. The Company markets throughout the United States and international gaming markets, primarily Mexico.
The Company was acquired by Amaya, a publicly listed corporation incorporated in Quebec, Canada, by way of a merger with Odyssey Acquisition Corporation (an indirect subsidiary of Amaya). The effective date of the acquisition was November 5, 2012. Amaya’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “AYA.” The allocation of the purchase price including fair value adjustments are not reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Included in selling, general, and administrative expense for 2012 is $11,148,332 of acquisition-related costs.
In December 2012, the Company sold certain accounts receivables, all the inventory and property and equipment related to a division specializing in providing gaming machines and parts for the Amusement with Prizes markets in the United States for $300,000. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012, were approximately $1,600,000. The results of operations and cash flows for this division were not material to the consolidated financial statements.
| |
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Presentation and Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cadillac Jack, Inc., and the following wholly owned subsidiaries: Comercializadora de Juegos Cadillac Jack de Mexico, Servicios Administrativos CJ de Mexico, and Equipos y Soluciones Tecnologicas. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for each period presented.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 reported period. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for doubtful accounts, allowance for obsolete inventory, lease receivables, sales tax accrual, revenue recognition, deferred taxes, contingencies, and useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets in determining depreciation and amortization, respectively. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following have been satisfied:
| |
• | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists. |
| |
• | The price to the customer is fixed and determinable. |
| |
• | Collection is reasonably assured. |
Gaming Operations Revenue - Gaming operations revenue consists of the operation of linked progressive systems and the rental of gaming devices, game content, and the related systems placed with customers. Fees under these arrangements are earned and recognized based on a share of money wagered, a share of the net winnings, or on a fixed daily rate. The daily fee entitles the customer to full use of the gaming device and includes maintenance, licensing of the game content software, and connection to a linked progressive system, where applicable. In certain markets, the Company also charges a daily system connection fee for the customer to connect to a central determination system and/or back-
office system. The Company does not consider these arrangements to have multiple revenue-generating activities as the services offered are a comprehensive solution in exchange for a daily fee. All of the products and services delivered simultaneously provide the customer with rights to use tangible gaming devices and software that is essential to the functionality of the gaming devices. Gaming operations revenue is recognized under general revenue recognition guidance as the services are delivered.
Wide Area Progressive (WAP) - WAP systems consist of linked slot machines located in multiple casino properties, which connect to the Company’s central computer system. WAP games differ from stand‑alone units in that a progressive jackpot increases with every wager until a player wins the top award. Revenues are recognized for each gaming machine based upon a percentage of amounts wagered on the gaming machine. Revenues are recognized as earned and when collectability is reasonably assured. Jackpots are payable immediately at the time the prize is awarded to the player and recorded as costs of goods sold.
The Company’s product sales revenues are generated from the sale of gaming machines and parts. Product sales are recognized upon delivery.
Service revenues include support and maintenance on machines, engineering services, installation, and management services. Services are recognized as they are provided.
Software License Fees - The Company also earns license fees from customers. License fees are generally billed at fixed monthly amounts per machine and recognized over the license period.
Multiple-Element Arrangements - The Company enters into revenue arrangements that may consist of multiple deliverables of its products and services. For example, customers may enter into arrangements with the Company for the implementation of systems software and the sale of gaming devices. Arrangements for the implementation of systems software will generally include a combination of systems software licenses, systems-based hardware products, maintenance and product support fees, and professional services. Certain gaming equipment arrangements may also include the sale of gaming devices. For sales arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company divides deliverables into separate units of accounting, if:
| |
• | The delivered items have stand‑alone value to the customer. The items have value on a stand-alone basis if they are sold separately by any vendor or the customer could resell the delivered items on a stand-alone basis. |
| |
• | Delivery of any undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in the Company’s control. |
The arrangement price is allocated to each of the elements based on the estimated selling prices of each element. Estimated selling prices are the Company’s best estimates of the prices that would be charged to customers if the stand-alone elements were separately sold and included considerations of prices charged by the Company for similar deliverables. The revenue related to the gaming machines and license fees and related costs are recognized upon delivery. Revenue related to revenue share is recognized over the estimated life of the arrangement as the service is performed, which ranges from one to five years.
For arrangements that do not qualify for separate units of accounting, the up-front fees paid are recorded as deferred revenue and the up-front expenses incurred are capitalized as deferred costs. Revenue and costs are amortized over the estimated life of the arrangement.
In certain operating lease arrangements, the Company makes payments to customers early in the lease term as an incentive. These payments are accounted for as lease incentives and accordingly deferred and recognized ratably over the lease term as a reduction of revenue. The lease incentive asset is included in deferred costs in the consolidated balance sheet. Included in this amount as of December 31, 2013, is $2,451,600 in lease incentive payments contractually required to be made in 2014, and the corresponding liability is included in accounts payable and accrued expense in the consolidated balance sheet.
Customer Financing - Contracts with customers for gaming machine purchases include extended terms of three to five years. These agreements are secured by the related products sold. The contracts are individually reviewed for impairment and any allowance is based on a probability of collection analysis.
Restricted Cash - Restricted cash is the contractual amount held by a financial institutions pursuant to the term loans (see Note 11).
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s best estimate of probable future losses in the accounts receivable balance. This estimate was based on historical experience and other currently available evidence.
Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using standard costs, which approximates the weighted-average method of valuing inventory. Inventory specifically allocated to manufacture gaming machines to be placed under revenue-sharing arrangements is reclassed to gaming machines under construction, included in property and equipment.
Inventory at December 31, 2013 and 2012, is composed of the following categories:
|
| | | | | | | |
| 2013 | | 2012 |
Manufactured finished goods and work in process | $ | 818,225 |
| | $ | 1,475,834 |
|
Raw materials and parts inventory | 5,040,001 |
| | 5,679,294 |
|
Less allowance for obsolete inventory | (125,697 | ) | | (125,192 | ) |
| | | |
Total inventory — net | $ | 5,732,529 |
| | $ | 7,029,936 |
|
Property and Equipment - The Company has property and equipment located throughout the United States and Mexico that are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed, while costs incurred for renewals and refurbishments that materially extend the life of the property and equipment are capitalized. Upon the sale, retirement or disposal of property and equipment, the asset cost and accumulated depreciation is eliminated from the financial statements. Any resulting gain or loss is included in operations. Sales of used games previously classified as gaming machinery and equipment are included in net sales, and the related net book value is included in cost of goods and services in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).
Long‑lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to their estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $351,000 and $505,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The impairment charges recorded were the net book value of the machines. The impairment charges are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss).
During 2013, the Company received insurance proceeds related to 223 leased machines and related equipment destroyed by fire in 2011 that were installed in a customer’s facility. The total recovery was $890,000 and is included in insurance settlement in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss). In the consolidated statement of cash flows, the proceeds are allocated between the insurance recoveries attributable to business interruption and the insurance recoveries attributable to personal property damages. The recovery for business interruption of $205,385 is classified as a cash flow from operating activities. The recovery for personal property damages of $684,615 is classified as a cash flow from investing activities.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows:
|
| |
Computer equipment and software | 3–5 years |
Leasehold improvements | Shorter of lease term or useful life |
Machinery and equipment | 5–7 years |
Gaming machines and equipment | 5 years |
Office furniture and fixtures | 7–10 years |
Vehicles | 5 years |
Gaming machines under construction and completed games not yet shipped are included in property and equipment if specifically allocated to a revenue-sharing arrangement.
Shipping and Handling Costs - The Company classifies shipping and handling amounts billed to customers as net sales and shipping and handling costs incurred as a component of cost of goods and services.
Advertising - Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $1,460,000 and $1,292,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Stock Compensation - The Company accounts for new and modified share‑based payment transactions with employees, such as stock options and restricted stock awards, based on their fair values. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates scheduled to be in effect when temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in enacted tax rates on the deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the financial statement period when the new tax rates are enacted. The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets annually and records a valuation allowance when it is determined that it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return when they are “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination. A recognized tax position is recorded in the consolidated financial statements at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. Differences between the estimated liabilities and the amounts paid upon ultimate resolution with the taxing authorities are reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they are determined.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Interest is included within interest expense.
Deferred Financing Costs - Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over 48 months. Amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $420,000, $451,000, $486,000, and $522,000 for the years ending December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017, respectively. The deferred financing cost of approximately $3,639,000 associated with debt extinguishment was written off during 2013 (see Note 11). The note payable to various lenders and Macquarie US Trading LLC as administrative agent was paid and canceled in December 2013. This financing was replaced with a note payable to various lenders and Wilmington Trust as administrative agent.
Research and Development and Software Development Costs - Capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility of the product. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future gross product revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technology.
The Company expenses all research and development costs associated with the establishment of technological feasibility for its software products to research and development costs. From the time of establishing technological feasibility through general release of the product, the Company capitalizes software development costs and reports them in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of capitalized software at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. The Company amortizes capitalized software development costs upon general release of the product to customers and computes amortization on the greater of the amounts computed using the ratio of current gross revenues the product bears to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues or the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product, generally three years.
The Company expensed research and development costs of approximately $12,566,000 and $14,084,000, included in selling, general, and administrative expense, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The 2012 costs include a onetime retention bonus of approximately $1,800,000. The Company capitalized costs related to game certification of approximately $2,013,000 and $2,325,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company also capitalized license fees paid to third parties of approximately $2,235,000 and $1,634,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation - The Mexican peso has been used as the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiaries located in Mexico. Assets and liabilities denominated in the foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance sheet dates. Revenues, expenses, and cash flows are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during the year. The foreign currency loss of $28,000 and gain of
$1,208,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, included in net income primarily relates to the effects of foreign exchange rate changes between the Mexican Peso and short-term intercompany loans denominated in the U.S. dollar.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value due to short maturities. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value.
Prior Year Reclassification - Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
Subsequent Events - The Company evaluated subsequent events through March 17, 2014, the date on which these consolidated financial statements were issued.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance - In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02, Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This guidance is effective for the Company on a prospective basis for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-03, Financial Instruments (Topic 825): Clarifying the Scope of and Applicability of a Particular Disclosure to Nonpublic Entities, which clarifies that the requirement to disclose the level of the fair value hierarchy within which fair value measurements are categorized in their entirety (Level 1, 2, or 3) does not apply to nonpublic entities for items that are not measured at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position, but for which fair value is disclosed. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s fair value disclosures.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, that requires companies to present unrecognized tax benefits as a reduction to deferred tax assets when a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists, with limited exceptions. The amendments in guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company adopted early with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company extends credit to customers located throughout North America and Latin America based on the size of the company, its payment history, and other factors. The Company does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. The amount of accounting loss due to credit risk the Company would incur if the parties to the accounts receivable failed to perform according to the terms of the agreement would be the balance of the accounts receivable - net of the allowance for doubtful accounts.

7. | Related-Party Transactions |
During 2012, transactions with Amaya were primarily related to the acquisition of the Company by Amaya. Such transactions included reimbursement of certain acquisition-related costs, capital contributions from Amaya, and deemed distributions (see Notes 1, 9, 11, and 17).
During 2013, the Company distributed approximately $51,036,000 in proceeds from the new debt financing (see Note 11) to an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Amaya. Additionally, the Company agreed to make a $5,000,000 distribution to Amaya in 2014 related to the fulfilment of certain conditions under the acquisition and merger agreement (see Note 11). Finally, in 2013, Amaya purchased 11 game licenses from the Company for $330,000.
On September 14, 2009, pursuant to a sales agreement, the Company sold machines for consideration of $1,750,000 to Nailsea Holdings, Inc. (“Nailsea”), a company under common control before the Amaya acquisition on November 5, 2012. Substantial risk of ownership did not transfer; accordingly, the Company accounted for this transaction as a capital lease. The interest expense on the lease was approximately 410,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The outstanding balance was paid in full and the agreement was canceled in November 2012.
The Company had various subordinated notes payable to Smart Games Hungary Kft (SGH), an entity controlled by the former controlling shareholder of the Company, which together with accrued interest, were amended and consolidated into one convertible secured promissory note in the principal amount of $50,587,980 during 2010. In 2012, SGH converted all of the principal balance, along with accrued interest of approximately $5,212,000 into the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $0.20 per share. Interest expense on the debt previously owed to SGH was approximately $8,570,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012.
During 2011, the Company entered into a note payable for $3,000,000 with an entity owned by a director of the Company whose directorship terminated in November 2012. Interest expense was approximately $47,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The outstanding balance was paid in full and the agreement was canceled in November 2012.
The Cadillac Jack, Inc. 401(k) Plan (“the Plan”) provides retirement benefits for its employees. As allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan provides tax-deferred salary deductions for eligible employees. Employees may contribute up to the maximum contributions as set periodically by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company may make a discretionary contribution to the Plan, not to exceed 15% of the total compensation of all
participants as allowed under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company elected to make matching contributions of approximately $330,000 and $313,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

9. | Share-Based Awards and Options |
The purpose of the Amaya stock option plan is to attract, retain, and motivate employees and officers of the Company, and to promote the interests of the Company. The stock option plan permits the Board of Directors to grant either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of Amaya’s common stock. Amaya’s stock option plan authorized the issuance of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,300,000 shares of Amaya’s common stock, provided that the Board shall have the right, from time to time, to increase such number, subject to applicable laws. Certain options can become exercisable upon death or disability.
On November 30, 2012, Amaya granted an aggregate of 1,600,000 options to officers and employees of the Company. During 2013, Amaya granted an aggregate of 62,500 options to employees of the Company. The options are for purchase of Amaya stock. These grants were approved by Amaya’s Board of Directors. Stock compensation expense related to the Amaya stock option plan of approximately $715,000 and $38,000 is included in selling, general, and administrative expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The activity in the Amaya stock option plan for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, is summarized as follows:

The Company issued three separate grants of 12,500 options, 20,000 options, and 30,000 options in 2013, with grant-date fair values of $2.33 per option, $2.48 per option, and $3.10 per option, respectively. The grant-date fair value of each option granted in 2012 was $1.67.
The Black‑Scholes valuation model was used to estimate the option grant-date fair value based on following assumptions:
|
| | |
| 2013 | 2012 |
Expected volatility | 60 % | 60 % |
Risk-free interest rate | 1.07 % | 1.07 % |
Dividend yield | - % | - % |
Expected term in years | 3.75 years | 3.75 years |
Expected volatility is estimated based on stock prices of comparable companies, as adjusted to take into account Amaya’s trading history. The risk-free interest rate is based on the average yield of government of Canada one- to three-year marketable bonds. The dividend yield is 0% as Amaya does not pay dividends. The expected life is estimated using the average of the vesting period and the contractual life of the options because the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
There were 2,340,475 options available for future grants under the Amaya stock option plan at December 31, 2013. The unrecognized compensation cost expected to be recognized over the next four years is approximately $2,195,000.

Income tax expense differs from the amount computed using the statutory United States Federal income tax rate as follows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:
|
| | | |
| 2013 | | 2012 |
| | | |
Federal income tax at the statutory rate | 34.0% | | 34.0% |
State income taxes, net of federal benefits | 3.3% | | -2.0% |
Foreign and United States tax rate differential | 1.5% | | -4.6% |

Tax credits | 4.7% | | -13.8% |
Other permanent differences | -0.1% | | -4.3% |
Effective tax rate | 37.1% | | -16.2% |
The income tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying federal statutory rates to income before income taxes due to state income taxes, permanent book/tax differences, changes in estimates for uncertain tax positions, and also due to federal and state research and development tax credits available. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in Mexico and certain state jurisdictions due to the negative evidence outweighing the positive evidence related to the realization of these deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets has been allocated pro rata between current and noncurrent deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the current and noncurrent deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012, are presented as follows:

The Company’s Mexican customers are required under the U.S.‑Mexico tax treaty to withhold 10% of their payments due to the Company for license fees, which can be used as tax credits on the Company’s U.S. federal income tax return. The tax credits are not refundable, but can be carried forward for 10 years to offset future tax liability. The credits begin to expire starting in 2016. The Company’s other tax credits relate to research and development activities and begin to expire in 2024. The Company also has NOL carryforwards for U.S. federal purposes of approximately $10,859,000, in Mexico of approximately $1,663,000 and various U.S. states of approximately $16,599,000. The federal NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2031, the Mexican NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2021, and the state NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2022.
The utilization of the NOL carryforwards and tax credits is limited in the future in accordance with Section 382 and Section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code based on a change in control that occurred in 2012. A subsequent change in
control could be caused by a share repurchase program, additional issuances of common stock by the Company, and acquisitions or sales of shares by certain holders of the Company’s shares, including persons who have held, currently hold, or may accumulate in the future 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize the existing deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis. Based on this evaluation, a valuation allowance against the federal deferred tax assets was not necessary as of December 31, 2013 or 2012. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could change if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward periods are reduced or if objective positive evidence in the form of historical cumulative pretax book income is no longer present. In the various U.S. state jurisdictions, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain state credits and state NOL carryforwards will not be realized after evaluating its positive and negative evidence. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance of approximately $625,000 and $150,000 on the deferred tax assets relating to these state income tax credits and state NOL carryforwards, respectively. The Company also has approximately $3,431,000 of NOL carryforwards and other temporary differences in Mexico, which have a full valuation allowance.
No penalties or interests have been recorded on uncertain tax positions since no tax would be due. While not anticipated, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may change for various reasons in the next 12 months; however, the Company does not expect that change to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operation. The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. federal, various U.S. states, and Mexico jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s tax years for 2002-2012 are subject to examination by taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2013, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local, or foreign examinations by tax authorities for years before 2002.
The Company is permanently reinvested with respect to its investment in its foreign subsidiaries. Accordingly, no deferred income tax liability related to its foreign subsidiaries’ unremitted earnings has been included in the Company’s provision for income taxes. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or, otherwise, the Company would be subject to income taxes and withholding taxes payable, which could potentially be offset by foreign tax credits. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability is not practicable because of the complexities associated with the hypothetical calculation.

In connection with the Amaya acquisition of the Company on November 5, 2012, the Company’s direct parent, Amaya Holdings Corporation (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Amaya) entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions for $110,000,000 of term loans. The term loans were used by Amaya to finance the acquisition, pay off the Company’s existing debt and fund the Company’s ongoing working capital needs. Amaya pledged its equity interests in the Company and its subsidiaries as a guarantee and as collateral. This agreement was canceled and paid in full with proceeds from new debt described below on December 20, 2013. The agreement required the Company to maintain a holdback account control agreement funded with $5,000,000 from proceeds of the term loans, which is required until the additional consideration is paid according to the acquisition and merger agreement on the second anniversary of the closing date (November 5, 2014). Early release of this provision of the acquisition and merger agreement was executed on November 11, 2013. However, $5,000,000 holdback amount continued to be held by the financial institutions and restricted from use by the Company as of December 31, 2013. In January 2014, the proceeds were released to the Company, and the Company subsequently transferred these proceeds to Amaya.
On December 20, 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a different syndicate of financial institutions for $160,000,000 of term loans. This arrangement replaced the existing credit facility. The proceeds were also used to make a distribution to the Company’s direct parent and fund the ongoing working capital needs of the Company. Amaya pledged its equity interest in the Company and its subsidiaries as a guarantee and as collateral.
This agreement includes covenants covering financial condition (consolidated total leverage ratio, fixed‑charge coverage ratio, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)) and limitations on capital expenditure. The leverage ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA cannot be higher than the following amounts in the table below for each period‑end. Consolidated EBITDA as defined in the agreement is consolidated net income (loss), plus income tax expense; interest expense; amortization of debt issuance costs; depreciation; amortization; extraordinary expenses or losses; transaction expenses; other noncash charges fees losses or expenses; any fees or expenses paid in connection with any investment permitted by the agreement; fees and expenses paid to any agent under any loan document; cash payment for resolution of the IGT, Inc. (IGT), settlement (see Note 12) minus interest income; extraordinary income or gains; and other noncash gain or income. Minimum EBITDA requirements are shown in the table below for each period-end. The fixed-charge coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA minus income taxes paid, maintenance capital expenditures, and restricted payments as defined in the agreement divided by consolidated cash interest expense and scheduled debt payments cannot be lower than the following amounts in the table below for each period‑end.

12. | Commitments and Contingencies Litigation |
Litigation - The Company and a former director of the Company reached a settlement agreement and mutual release that terminated a lawsuit with a former officer and director of the Company (“the Founder”). The Founder asserted that the former director authorized improper related-party transactions that caused the value of the Founder shares in the Company to decline, that the Company failed to reimburse Founder for various expenses, and that the Company has breached the employment contract with Founder. The Company denied all claims of wrongdoing and filed a counterclaim against Founder for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of duties of good faith, and loyalty and fraud. The Founder had also filed a lawsuit alleging that the Company conspired to cause an event of default on the loans related to real estate owned by the Founder. On September 21, 2012, the Company agreed to pay the Founder $1,500,000, which was recorded in selling, general, and administrative expense, in semiannual payments, plus 6% interest. The first payment was made on September 24, 2012, for $750,000. During 2013, two payments of approximately $202,000 were made. The remaining balance is due in two equal payments of approximately $202,000 during 2014.
The Company previously leased its office and operating facilities from the Founder. The lease term commenced in October 2004 and expired in October 2009. The Company continued to lease the building on a month-to-month basis through July 2010. Rent expense to the Founder for the year ended December 31, 2010, was approximately $359,000. The Founder also had litigation with the Company related to the lease on the building. During 2010, the Company settled the litigation related to the lease on the building and another lawsuit related to the purchase and sale agreement related to the Founder’s shares (see Note 15) and paid the Founder $150,000. The Company is currently a guarantor on one loan with an estimated balance of $1,038,000 as of December 31, 2013, related to the building the Company was leasing from the Founder. As part of the settlement of the lease litigation, the Company deposited $1,000,000 of the purchase price of the Founder’s shares into an escrow account, and if the Company is required to pay under the guarantee agreement related to the building, it can offset the amount paid in escrow as well as any amounts remaining on the Founder promissory note payable (see Note 15). No loss is expected on the guarantee as the balance owed to the Founder.
The Company licenses from IGT the right to use certain patented ticket-in, ticket-out technology (TITO) pursuant to certain agreements (collectively, the “TITO Agreements”). IGT exercised its right under the TITO Agreements to have an independent accounting firm audit the Company’s use of TITO and payment of related license fees. The Company received a preliminary report from IGT in April 2012 that asserted the Company owed IGT additional TITO royalties. In
November 2012, the Company and IGT reached a settlement in the amount of $1,500,000, of which $1,175,000, is included in selling, general, and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company also agreed to prepay $1,500,000 toward the bulk purchase of new licenses to be used for future machines as these are placed in service. These payments were made during 2012.
The Company is subject to other lawsuits, claims, and other complaints arising out of the ordinary conduct of business. While the ultimate results and outcomes from these matters cannot be determined precisely, management, based in part upon the advice of legal counsel, believes that all matters are without merit or are of such amounts that would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operating results, or cash flows.
Capitalized Lease Obligations - The Company leases property and equipment under capital leases. Amortization associated with assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. The leases outstanding as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, require monthly payments ranging from $1,041 to $14,246 and $1,041 to $25,657, respectively, at interest rates ranging from 3.98% to 13.56% and 3.98% to 18%, respectively. The leases expire at various times through July 2016. The leases are secured by the related property and equipment.
A summary of property and equipment held under capital leases at December 31, 2013 and 2012, is as follows:

Rent expense under the agreements was approximately $594,000 and $603,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company has a deposit of approximately $14,000 on the Company’s headquarters building, which will be used to offset rent payments in 2014.

Sales Tax Liability - The Company has operations in various states and counties in which they have not filed sales tax returns. During 2011, the Company completed a sales tax audit with one state and reached a settlement for approximately $510,000, which was paid in 2012. The Company has accrued approximately $94,000 as of December 31, 2013, which is the Company’s best estimate of its sales tax liabilities. The Company’s accounting policy is to include penalties and interest related to taxes in interest expense. Actual amounts could differ from estimates.

The outstanding receivables related to this customer were approximately $1,031,000 and $635,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There were no other customers for which revenues composed more than 10% of total revenue during 2013 or 2012.
| |
15. | Capital Stock Shareholder Buyout |
The Company was party to a stockholders’ agreement dated October 2004, which was entered into by the Company, the Founder, and the majority shareholder. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company had the option to buy out the Founder upon the occurrence of certain events, such as termination of the Founder’s employment with the Company for any reason. The Company exercised this option in June 2008, after the termination of the Founder’s employment. The buyout was completed in January 2010. The purchase price of Founder’s shares and options, based on the valuation mechanism outlined in the agreement, was determined to be $2,048,000. In accordance with the terms of the stock purchase agreement, dated January 12, 2010, by and between the Company and the Founder, in exchange for these securities, the Company issued an amended and restated promissory note in the original principal amount of $1,308,000 requiring semiannual installments of principal and interest of $303,000 maturing on January 1, 2013. The Company paid the final semiannual installment of principal and interest of $303,000 in 2012, prior to maturity. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the balance due on this note was $0 and $0, respectively.
Promissory Note Conversion to Stock - Immediately prior to the Amaya acquisition of the Company on November 5, 2012, SGH converted a secured promissory note totaling approximately $50,588,000 and accrued interest of $5,212,000 to 278,999,996 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (see Note 7).
Cancellation of Class A and B Common Stock - All the outstanding shares of the Company, both Class A and Class B, were canceled in connection with the acquisition on November 5, 2012 (see Note 1). The Company’s Board authorized the issuance of 1,000 new shares of common stock in connection with the November 5, 2012, acquisition.
The Company has a significant portion of its operations located in Mexico. Revenues related to Mexican operations were approximately $29,022,000 and $25,916,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net book value of property and equipment located in Mexico was approximately $11,803,000 and $11,473,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These operations are subject to risks of currency fluctuations and changes in laws and regulations.
