NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Table Trac, Inc. (the “Company,” or “Table Trac”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and the statements of operations and stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the statements of cash flows for the nine months ending September 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. Certain information normally included in financial statements and related footnotes prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Table Trac Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Nature of Business

Table Trac was formed under the laws of the State of Nevada in June 1995. The Company has offices in Minnetonka, Minnesota and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Company has developed and sells an information and management system that automates and monitors various aspects of the operations of casinos.

Table Trac provides system sales and technical support to casinos. System sales include installation, custom casino system configuration, and training. In addition, license and technical support are provided under separate license and service contracts.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. The Company’s use of estimates and assumptions include: for revenue recognition, determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and determining the standalone selling price (“SSP”) of performance obligations, variable consideration, and other obligations, realizability of accounts receivable, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, deferred revenue and costs, and inventory valuation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the financial statement included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Revenue

The Company derives revenues from the sales of systems, licenses and maintenance fees, services, and rental agreements.

System Revenue

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected, when applicable from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is a unit of account in ASC 606. A majority of the Company’s systems sales have multiple performance obligations including an obligation to deliver a casino management system and another to provide maintenance services. For system sales with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its SSP. The Company generally determines the SSP based on the price charged to customers. The Company does offer its customers contracts with extended payment terms representing a significant financing component.  The Company must evaluate if any extended payment terms in the contract is an indicator of the transaction price not being probable. The Company only includes the amount for which it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved.  The Company occasionally enters into a contract that includes multiple sites; management has determined that each site installation is a separate performance obligation. In these instances the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of each performance obligation. In addition, the Company has a contract with a reseller who purchases and resells the Company’s products; monthly the reseller notifies the Company of their successful installations, and submits an invoice to the Company for those installations. Provided all other revenue recognition steps have been satisfied, the Company recognizes the revenue if payment of a significant portion of the contract consideration is due within 12 months of the delivery of the product.  System contracts that do not meet this criteria are deferred and recognized when the uncertainty is resolved, which is consistent with when contractual payments become due. The Company also analyzes its standard business practice of using long-term contracts and the history of collecting on extended payment term contracts which include a financing component which is usually a market interest rate. The associated interest income is reflected accordingly on the statement of operations without making concessions for determining if revenue should be recognized. 

Maintenance Revenue

Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. The stand-alone selling price for maintenance is based upon the renewal rate for contracted services.

Service Revenue and other revenue

Service revenue is recognized after the services are performed and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The stand-alone selling price for service revenue is established based upon actual selling prices for the services or prior similar arrangements.

The Company offers qualified customers a licensing agreement. Licensing revenue is recognized after the intellectual property (CMS system), the performance obligation, is delivered and in its operational and functional state. The stand-alone selling price for licensing revenue is established based upon actual selling prices for the license. The Company may offer customers a rental contract.  Revenues are billed monthly on a per-game per-day basis. There is an option to purchase the system after the rental contract expires at a pre-determined residual value.

The following table summarizes disaggregated revenues by major product line for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively:

The following table summarizes disaggregated revenues by major product line for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively:

See Major Customers for disaggregated revenue information about primary geographical markets.

Significant Judgments

Contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment.

Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation. We use a single amount to estimate SSP for items that are not sold separately. We use a range of amounts to estimate SSP when we sell each of the products and services separately and need to determine whether there is a discount to be allocated based on the relative SSP of the various products and services.

In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when we do not sell the product or service separately, we determine the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. We typically have more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers and circumstances. In these instances, we may use information such as the size of the customer and geographic region in determining the SSP.  

We evaluated the contractual payment terms of all system sales generated during the year to determine the proper recognition or deferral of revenue. We believe the 12 month subsequent collection threshold of 67% or greater is the most appropriate for the Company to constrain revenue.

We evaluate the interest rates in customer contracts with extended payment terms, representing a significant financing component. These rates range from approximately 1% to 6% and we believe those to be appropriate market interest rates for the financing component.

Deferred System Sales Costs

Incremental cost to obtain and fulfil a contract are deferred and amortized over the related system contract term. These costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract which is generally 18-60 months beginning when revenues are generated. These costs are the most significant component of contract and other long-term assets on the balance sheet, and are $404,482 and $528,401 as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Accounts Receivable / Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are initially recorded at the invoiced amount and carried on the balance sheet at net realizable value, which includes foreign currency translation as of each balance sheet date. Accounts receivable include unsecured regular customer receivables and unsecured amounts from financed contracts coming due within 12 months. Amounts from financed contracts due beyond 12 months are recorded as “Long-term accounts receivable – financed contracts.”  Interest is recorded upon receipt to other income on the statements of operations. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded when the Company believes the amounts may not be collected. Management believes that receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, are fully collectible. Accounts receivable are written off when management determines collection is no longer likely. While the ultimate result may differ, management believes future write-offs not included in the allowance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

Major Customers

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, two customers comprised approximately 39% of revenue compared to two customers who accounted for approximately 45% for the nine months ending September 30, 2018. At September 30, 2019, three customers comprised approximately 40% of accounts receivable compared to three customers accounting for approximately 47% at September 30, 2018. The following table summarizes major customer’s information for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

For the nine month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018, sales to customers in the United States represent 68.6% and 91.2% of total revenues, respectively. The Company does derive a portion of its revenue from foreign customers. For the nine month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018, sales to customers in Japan represent 20% and 0% of total revenues, respectively.

The following table summarizes the major customer information for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

For the three month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018, sales to customers in the United States represent 41.3% and 95.6% of total revenues, respectively. For the three month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018, sales to customers in Japan represent 49.2% and 0% of total revenues, respectively.

A major customer is defined as any customer that represents at least 10% of revenue or outstanding account receivable for a given period.

Inventory

Inventory, consisting of finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The average cost method, which approximates the first in, first out method, is used to value inventory. Inventory is reviewed annually for the lower of cost or net realizable value and obsolescence. Any inventory item found to be above net realizable value or considered obsolete is written down accordingly. The inventory value as of September 30, 2019 was $1,412,711, which included work-in-process of $710. The inventory value was $762,165 as of December 31, 2018, which included work-in-process of $50,824. The Company had no obsolescence reserve at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. At September 30, 2019 the Company recorded a prepayment for inventory yet to be received of approximately $251,777 as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Research and Development

The Company expenses all costs related to research and development as incurred. Research and development expense was $57,040 and $28,827 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and $73,044 and $85,411 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Research and development expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the statements of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘FASB’) issued a new standard related to revenue recognition. Under the standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method, which did not require us to restate each prior reporting period presented. We elected the available practical expedients and implemented internal controls and key system functionality to enable the preparation of financial information on adoption.

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the FASB Accounting Standards Update (‘ASU’) 2016-02, Leases, which requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The original guidance required application on a modified retrospective basis with the earliest period presented. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to ASC 842, which included an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date of ASC 842, Leases, as the date of initial application of transition, which we elected. As a result of the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, we recorded both operating lease right-of-use (‘ROU’) assets and lease liabilities of approximately $136,000. The adoption of ASC 842 had an immaterial impact on our Condensed Statement of Operations and Condensed Statement of Cash Flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard which allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.

Accounts receivable consisted of the following at:

The allowance for financed and trade receivable represents management’s estimate of probable losses in our trade and financed receivables as of the date of the financial statements. The allowance provides for probable losses that have been identified with specific customer relationships and for probable losses believed to be inherent of the trade and financed receivables, but that have not been specifically identified.

Accounts receivable includes financed contracts at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 which are $1,642,405 and $1,896,848, respectively, offset by contract liabilities on the balance sheets of $1,431,066 and $1,690,660, respectively.

A roll-forward of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented is as follows:

The allowance for doubtful accounts is $42,623 and $104,040 for the trade receivables at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and $156,000 and $61,800 for the financed contracts at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

We lease space under non-cancelable operating leases for our two office locations. These leases do not have significant rent escalation holidays, concessions, leasehold improvement incentives, or other build-out clauses. Further, the leases do not contain contingent rent provisions.

Our leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options are included in our ROU assets and lease liabilities if they are reasonably certain of exercise.

Our leases do not provide an implicit rate; we use our incremental borrowing rate of 5% which is based on the information available at the date of adoption in determining the present value of the lease payments.

The cost components of our operating leases were $15,569 and $46,607 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Maturities of our lease liabilities for all operating leases are as follows as of September 30, 2019:

The weighted average remaining lease terms equals 1.63 years as of September 30, 2019.

Stock Repurchase Program

On January 7, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of its outstanding shares, using management’s discretion, of its common stock from private unsolicited sellers’ in the open market. On May 10, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of its outstanding common shares in an aggregate amount of up to 200,000 shares not to exceed $600,000, in both private unsolicited and open–market transactions, until December 31, 2019. Company insiders are prohibited from participating in the stock repurchase program. Approximately 170,000 shares may yet be purchased under the program.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, the Company repurchased 25,000 shares for its treasury at an average price of $2.06.

Stock Compensation

On January 8, 2018, the Board of Directors of Table Trac Inc. appointed Randy Gilbert as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and awarded him 50,000 Restricted Stock shares. These shares are subject to a four year vesting schedule as follows: 20,000 shares on January 8, 2019 and 10,000 shares in each subsequent year. Grant date fair value of $117,500 is recognized equally over the vesting period as stock compensation expense as a component of selling, general and administration expense.

Additionally, on December 12, 2018, the Board of Directors of Table Trac Inc. approved a resolution which awarded 9,000 Restricted Stock shares to employees and the new Board of Directors. These shares are subject to a one year vesting period.

The unvested stock compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years. As of September 30, 2019, the remaining unrecognized stock compensation expense approximated $66,000.

The Company has no stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company has 39,000 shares of restricted stock outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and 59,000 restricted shares outstanding at December 31, 2018.

The Company accounts for income taxes by following the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities versus the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Under this method, deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The impact of the tax rate changes on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year that the change is enacted. Management believes that any write-off not allowed will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Based on its evaluation, the Company believes that it has no significant unrecognized tax positions. The Company’s evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2015 through 2018, which are the tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of September 30, 2019. The Company does not believe there will be any material changes in its unrecognized tax positions over the next 12 months.

The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to its financial results. In accordance with current guidance, the Company classifies interest and penalties as income tax expense is incurred.

The Company computes earnings per share under two different methods, basic and diluted, and presents per-share data for all periods in which statements of operations are presented. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

General Overview

Table Trac, Inc. is a Nevada corporation, formed on June 27, 1995, with principal offices in Minnetonka, Minnesota.

The Company has developed and patented (U.S. patent # 5,957,776) a proprietary information and management system (called our “Table Trac” system) that automates and monitors the operations of casino table game operations. In addition to its table games management system, Table Trac has been adding functionality to related casino system modules for guest rewards and loyalty club, marketing analysis, guest service, promotions, administration / management, vault / cage management and audit / accounting tasks. Aggregated together, all of these modules have become the “Casino Trac” product, a full-featured Casino Management System (CMS) offering what we believe to be a powerful combination of value, efficiency and reliability for casinos seeking to add or upgrade their casino systems.

In May of this year the Company received Patent Pending status on its April 2017 application 15/946,227 “SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF FACILITATING INTERACTIONS BETWEEN AN ELECTRONIC GAMING MACHINE, GAME PLAYER, AND A CONTROL SYSTEM”.  In addition, the Company renewed its Trademark claim for “Table Trac” which was granted July 31, 2018 Reg. No. 5,529,779 and made a new Trademark claim on its “CasinoTrac” brand which is pending.

The Company sells systems and technical support to casinos. The open architecture of the Table Trac system is designed to provide operators with a scalable and flexible system that can interconnect and operate with most third-party software or hardware. Key products and services include modules designed to drive player tracking programs and kiosk promotions, as well as vault and cage controls. The Company’s systems are designed to meet strict auditing, accounting and regulatory requirements applicable to the gaming industry. The Company has developed a patented, real-time system that automates and monitors the operations of casino gaming tables. The Company continues to increase its market share by expanding its product offerings to include new system features, and ancillary products.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company delivered four casino management systems and one table management system. In addition, Table Trac signed an exclusivity contract with the Japanese company, BroadBand Security Inc., in Tokyo, to rebrand, adapt and market their casino management system (CMS) to the developing Japanese gaming market. The contract deliverables were satisfied early in the third quarter; $1.2 million of revenue was recognized during the third quarter. At the end of the quarter, the Company had casino management systems, table games management systems and ancillary products installed with on-going support and maintenance contracts with 100 casino operators in over 160 casinos worldwide.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Three months ended September 30, 2018

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, income from operations was $650,283 compared to income from operations of $634,603 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The major components of revenues, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, and the reasons for changes in each, are discussed below.

Revenues

Revenues totaled $2,438,819 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $2,329,681 for the three months ended September 30, 2018.  

Refer to Note 1 – Revenue, disaggregated revenues by major product line table

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company delivered five systems. During the same period in 2018, the Company delivered two systems. In the periods presented, the Company continues to recognize revenue as payments become due for systems that were previously installed and for which revenue was deferred.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased to $371,885 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $582,760 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 due to a decrease in the total size of the systems sold.  The following table summarizes our cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively:

The Company’s gross profit was 84.8% and 75.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This increase is due to recognition of revenue from a licensing agreement in Japan that had minimal cost of sales during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,416,651 compared to $1,112,318 for the same period in 2018.  These expenses increased as a result of the Company’s increased marketing efforts included the commission and other costs to obtain the licensing agreement in Japan.

Interest Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, interest income was $10,752 compared to $11,825 for the same period in 2018.  This decrease is primarily related to having fewer contracts that have financed payment plans in the current period.

Tax Provision

The income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $130,000, which was calculated at a 19.7% effective rate, compared to an income tax expense of $180,600 for the same period in 2018, which was calculated at a 28.0% effective rate. The decrease in the effective rate is due to fluctuations in periodic net income, increased foreign derived intangible income deductions and changes in state apportionment rates.

Net Income

Income before taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2019, was $661,035 compared to income before taxes of $645,008 for the same period in 2018. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $531,035 compared to net income of $464,408 for the same period in 2018. The basic and diluted income per share was $0.12 compared to income per share of $0.10 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, income from operations was $941,689 compared to income from operations of $979,871 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The major components of revenues, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, and the reasons for changes in each, are discussed below.

Revenues

Revenues totaled $6,061,788 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $6,414,084 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  

Refer to Note 1 – Revenue, disaggregated revenues by major product line table

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company delivered nine systems, signed a licensing agreement and an exclusive supplier installed our system in fourteen locations in Australia. During the same period in 2018, the Company delivered eight systems.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased to $1,346,328 from $2,082,986 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  The following table summarizes our cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively:

The Company’s gross profit was 77.8% and 67.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This increase is primarily due to the recognition of revenue from a licensing agreement in Japan that had minimal cost of sales and a more favorable mix of higher margin hardware sold with the systems and the system sales made in Australia during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,773,771 compared to $3,352,227 for the same period in 2018.   These expenses increased as a result of the Company’s increased marketing efforts included the commission and other costs to sell the licensing agreement in Japan.

Interest Income

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, interest income was $39,064 compared to $52,087 for the same period in 2018.  This decrease is primarily related to fewer contracts that have financed payment plans in the current period.

The decrease in the effective rate is due to fluctuations in periodic net income, increased foreign derived intangible income deductions and changes in state apportionment rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect that we will be able meet our operating, investing and financing needs for liquidity through cash on hand and anticipated positive cash flows from operations

Cash provided by operations for the nine month period ending September 30, 2019 was approximately $521,000, compared to cash used from operation of $556,000 for the period ending September 30, 2018. This increase was a result of a number of factors including an increase in net income; a decrease in the change in contract liabilities, a decrease in net receivable and an increase in both payroll and income taxes payables. These increases were offset by an increase in inventory, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a decrease in deferred tax liability.

Investing activities used cash of $28,445 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which was due to primarily to capital expenditures compared to $20,615 in the same period of 2018.  Cash used in financing activities relating to the repurchasing of stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $51,500 compared to $112,240 used for stock repurchases in the same period of 2018.

We do not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that are likely to have a material impact on our short or long-term liquidity or our capital resources. We expect that our primary source of liquidity in both the short and long-term will be system sales and the resulting license and maintenance fees generated from existing systems. We anticipate we will be able to manage expenses and cash flow in order to satisfy our monthly expense obligations with cash flow from operations. We believe the Company has adequate cash for at least the next 12 months to meet its obligations and continue operations for both existing and future customers as well as ongoing sales efforts and product development.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2019.
