NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS Paul-Son Gaming Corporation, including its subsidiaries (collectively "Paul-Son" or the "Company"), is a leading manufacturer and supplier of casino table game equipment in the United States. The Company's products include casino chips, table layouts, playing cards, dice, furniture, table accessories and other products which are used with casino table games such as blackjack, poker, baccarat, craps and roulette. The Company sells its products in every state in which casinos operate in the United States and in various countries throughout the world. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Paul-Son and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Paul-Son Gaming Supplies, Inc. ("Paul-Son Supplies"), Paul-Son Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. and Authentic Products, Inc. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2000. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2000 and statements of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended August 31, 2000 and 1999 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies follows: CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid investments and repurchase agreements with maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. 5 PAUL-SON GAMING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CUSTOMER DEPOSITS The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally requires a fifty percent deposit for manufactured or purchased products at the discretion of management. These customer deposits are classified as a current liability on the balance sheet. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, and charges against the allowance have been within management's expectations. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, net of reserves for slow-moving, excess and obsolete items. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of depreciation. Depreciation is computed primarily on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes over the following estimated useful lives: Years ----- Buildings and improvements 18-27 Furniture and equipment 5-10 Vehicles 5-7 OTHER ASSETS Included in other assets are goodwill, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years, and patent rights costs, which are being amortized over 5 years. REVENUE RECOGNITION Substantially all revenue is recognized when products are shipped to customers. The Company typically sells its products with payment terms of net 30 days or less. INCOME TAXES The Company uses Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109 for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year. 6 PAUL-SON GAMING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) A deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax effects, based on provisions of the enacted law, attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. FOREIGN TRANSACTIONS Sales outside of the United States are not significant and substantially all transactions occur in United States dollars. ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions have been made in determining the depreciable life of assets and the allowance for doubtful accounts and slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" in June 1998. This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years which begin after June 15, 2000. The statement requires entities to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and to measure instruments at fair value. As the Company does not have significant derivative instruments, management believes that SFAS No. 133 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 clarifies existing accounting principles related to revenue recognition in financial statements. The Company is required to comply with the provisions of SAB 101 by the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ending May 31, 2001. Due to the nature of the Company's operations, management does not believe that SAB 101 will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 7 PAUL-SON GAMING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following: August 31, May 31, 2000 2000 ---------- ---------- Raw materials $2,056,357 $2,321,531 Work in process 196,556 225,507 Finished goods 2,151,177 2,299,027 ---------- ---------- 4,404,090 4,846,065 Less inventory reserves 760,000 700,000 ---------- ---------- $3,644,090 $4,146,065 ========== ========== NOTE 3 - LONG-TERM DEBT AND PLEDGED ASSETS Paul-Son Supplies has a $1.8 million note and a $500,000 note to a bank (collectively the "Facilities"). The Facilities are secured by a first deed of trust on certain real estate owned by Paul-Son Supplies and by a secured interest in all accounts, equipment, inventory and general intangibles of Paul-Son Supplies. The Company is also the guarantor of the facilities. The Facilities contain restrictive covenants, generally requiring the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreement, and to maintain net income annually of at least $250,000. As of May 31, 2000 the Company was in violation of certain covenants. As a result of the violations, the Company and the bank, in June 2000, entered into a forbearance agreement. This agreement requires the Company to pay additional monthly principal payments of $100,000 which began June 15, 2000. The additional monthly principal payments increase to $125,000 beginning October 15, 2000 and to $150,000 beginning February 15, 2001. The bank has agreed to waive its rights to declare a default on the Facilities as long as principal payments are made in accordance with the forbearance agreement. The Company made the required payments under the forbearance agreement during the quarter ended August 31, 2000. 8 PAUL-SON GAMING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Long-term debt consists of the following: August 31, May 31, 2000 2000 -------------- -------------- Note payable to bank in monthly installments of $18,118, including interest of 8.87%, plus additional monthly graduating principal payments of $100,000 to $150,000 from June 2000 through May 2001, secured by a first deed of trust on the Company's main facility in Las Vegas, Nevada and a first security interest on all Company assets.............................................................. $ 1,323,254 $ 1,643,518 Note payable to bank in monthly principal installments of $13,889 plus interest of 9.75% through July 2001 with a balloon payment of approximately $42,000 due August 2002, secured by a first deed of trust on the Company's main facility in Las Vegas, Nevada and a first security interest on all Company assets....................... 194,444 236,111 Notes payable to mortgage company, collateralized by real estate, interest at 7.5%, with principal and interest payments of approximately $500 due monthly through July 2001.................... 4,840 6,235 Various notes payable to finance company, interest at 2% to 5%, with principal and interest payments of approximately $1,125 due monthly through July 2003................................................... 38,853 -- Capital lease obligation payable for equipment, variable interest (approximately 9% at August 31, 2000), payable in monthly installments of approximately $12,250 through March 2006, collateralized by a second security interest on principally all Company assets...................................................... 665,501 680,980 -------------- -------------- 2,226,892 2,566,844 Less current portion.......................................... 1,632,846 1,899,443 -------------- -------------- $ 594,046 $ 667,401 ============== ============== NOTE 4 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table provides a reconciliation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share as required by SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share": 9 PAUL-SON GAMING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Dilutive Stock Basic Options Diluted -------------- -------------- -------------- For the 3 month period ended August 31, 2000 - -------------------------------------------- Net loss $ (266,992) $ (266,992) Weighted Average Shares 3,452,647 -- 3,452,647 Per Share Amount ($0.08) ($0.08) For the 3 month period ended August 31, 1999 - -------------------------------------------- Net income $ 19,584 $ 19,584 Weighted Average Shares 3,455,757 38,372 3,494,129 Per Share Amount $0.01 $0.01 There were no dilutive stock options for the three months ended August 31, 2000.

These antidilutive options have been excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the three months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999. These outstanding antidilutive options for the three months ended August 31, 2000 and 1999 were approximately 530,000. NOTE 5. BUSINESS SEGMENTS The FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 1997. This statement, which supersedes SFAS No. 14, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements. The statement requires public business enterprises to report selected reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires public business enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. The Company's reportable segments have been identified as follows: - Sale of Gaming Supply Products to New Casino Openings - Significant sales of products to casinos which opened during the fiscal year, the majority of which sales are not replaced on a regular, recurring basis. - Sale of Gaming Supply Products to Established Casinos - Sales of products to casino customers which had opened prior to the fiscal year and are principally considered on-going, recurring sales. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." The Company evaluates the performance of each segment by 10 PAUL-SON GAMING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) allocating certain overhead expenses to the segments based on management's estimates. The following information represents the disclosure requirements and information management utilizes in measuring the profit or loss of each significant segment: The table below presents information about the reported operating income of the Company for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2000 and 1999. Asset information by reportable segment is not reported since no segregation of assets exists between segments. 2000 Product Sales - New Product Sales - Consolidated - ---- Casino Openings Established Casinos totals -------------------- ------------------- ----------------- Revenues $ 553,687 $ 4,755,760 $ 5,309,447 Operating income (loss) $ (17,395) $ (210,520) $ (227,915) -------------------- ------------------- ----------------- -------------------- ------------------- ----------------- 1999 Product Sales - New Product Sales - Consolidated - ---- Casino Openings Established Casinos totals -------------------- ------------------- ----------------- Revenues $ 1,517,541 $ 4,839,035 $ 6,356,576 Operating income (loss) $ 222,398 $ (232,080) $ (9,682) -------------------- ------------------- ----------------- Corporate expenses and certain overhead expenses have been allocated to each segment based on management's estimate of the segment's utilization of the resources or expenses. During the three-month periods ended August 31, 2000 and 1999, management estimated gross margins of the reportable segments to be equal. However, management's estimation used in the operating income (loss) for the segments' overhead and corporate expenses was 90% from product sales to established casinos and 10% from product sales to new casino openings. 11 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Paul-Son is a leading manufacturer and supplier of casino table game equipment in the United States. The Company's products include casino chips, table layouts, playing cards, dice, gaming furniture, and miscellaneous table accessories such as chip trays, drop boxes, and dealing shoes, which are used in conjunction with casino table games such as blackjack, poker, baccarat, craps and roulette. The Company is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, with its primary manufacturing facilities located in San Luis, Mexico, and sales offices in Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada; Atlantic City, New Jersey; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Gulfport, Mississippi; Portland, Oregon; and Ontario, Canada. The Company sells its products in every state in which casinos operate in the United States. COMPARISON OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2000 AND AUGUST 31, 1999 REVENUES. For the three months ended August 31, 2000, revenues were approximately $5.3 million, a decrease of approximately $1.0 million, or 16%, versus revenues of approximately $6.3 million for the three months ended August 31, 1999. The decrease in revenues for the 2000 period was caused principally by a decline in new casino openings and expansions during the three months ended August 31, 2000 as compared to the three months ended August 31, 1999. During the three months ended August 31, 1999, casino chip and furniture revenues from new casino openings were approximately $1.5 million. During the same three month period ended August 31, 2000 new casino opening revenues totaled approximately $554,000. Sales of products manufactured by the Company totaled approximately $4.7 million in the 2000 period versus approximately $4.9 million in the same period of the prior year. COST OF REVENUES. Cost of revenues, as a percentage of sales, increased to 76.3% for the three months ended August 31, 2000 as compared to 74.7% for the three months ended August 31, 1999. This decline in the gross margin for the three months ended August 31, 2000 occurred primarily due to 1) an increase in costs to operate the Company's Mexican manufacturing plant as inflationary costs were not offset by a devaluation of the Mexican peso and 2) a larger underabsorption of fixed manufacturing overhead costs as production levels, primarily a function of sales volume, were less than the previous year's three month period. GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the three months ended August 31, 2000 decreased in absolute dollars by approximately $350,000 from the comparable period in the prior year as a result of the aforementioned decrease in revenues and the aforementioned decline in the gross margin percentage from 25.3% in the 1999 period to 23.7% in the 2000 quarter. SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. For the three months ended August 31, 2000, selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased approximately $132,000 or 8%, compared to the comparable period of the prior year. Reductions in sales related personnel, as well as certain sales office activities, occurred throughout the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000 and were principally the cause of the aforementioned decrease. 12 INTEREST EXPENSE. For the three months ended August 31, 2000, interest expense decreased to approximately $62,000 from approximately $64,000 in the 1999 period. This decrease was due to a reduction in average borrowings outstanding during the three months ended August 31, 2000. OTHER INCOME. For the three months ended August 31, 2000, other income decreased to approximately $23,000 from approximately $104,000 in the 1999 period. This decrease was due principally to nonrecurring gains realized in the 1999 period from the sale of certain non-operating assets. NET INCOME/(LOSS). For the three months ended August 31, 2000 the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $267,000, a decline of approximately $287,000 from the net income of approximately $20,000 for the quarter ended August 31, 1999. This decline was primarily due to the aforementioned decrease in revenues, gross profit margin percentages and other income offset, in part, by the decrease in SG&A expenses. Net loss per basic and diluted share was $.08 for the three months ended August 31, 2000 as compared to net income per basic and diluted share of $.01 per share for the three months ended August 31, 1999. MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OVERVIEW. Management believes that the combination of cash flow from operations and cash on hand will provide sufficient liquidity on a short-term basis. On a long-term basis, management of the Company believes that, depending on future cash flow from operations, the Company may be required to secure additional financing. WORKING CAPITAL. Working capital totaled approximately $4.7 million at August 31, 2000, a decrease of approximately $400,000 in working capital from approximately $5.1 million in working capital at May 31, 2000. CASH FLOW. Operating activities provided approximately $732,000 in cash during the three months ended August 31, 2000, as compared to operating cash provided of approximately $494,000 during the same period in the prior year. The primary operational sources of cash during the period were related to reductions of inventory balances of approximately $442,000, increases to customer deposits of approximately $130,000 and net income before non cash charges of approximately $114,000. Cash provided by operating activities were offset, in part, by cash used to reduce debt obligations of approximately $379,000 and purchases of fixed assets of approximately $162,000. Overall the Company experienced an increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $223,000. FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT. In June 2000, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with Wells Fargo Bank of Nevada. The agreement requires that the Company make monthly additional principal payments beginning in June 2000 in the amount of $100,000. The monthly additional principal payments increase to $125,000 beginning October 2000 and to $150,000 beginning February 2000 until all debt obligations to Wells Fargo Bank of Nevada have 13 been satisfied. The Company has complied with the requirements of the agreement as of October 12, 2000. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM. The Company's Board of Directors authorized the open market repurchase of up to approximately 170,000 shares of the Company's common stock. As of October 11, 2000, the Company had repurchased 8,000 shares on the open market at a total cost of approximately $32,000 under this authorization. The Company has funded the purchases made to date and intends to fund any future repurchases from cash on hand. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE.
