NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

~~(unaudited)~~

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

PlayAGS, Inc. ~~(formerly AP Gaming Holdco, Inc.)~~ (the "Company," "PlayAGS," "we," "us," or "our") is a leading designer and supplier of gaming products and services for the gaming industry. We operate in legalized gaming markets across the globe and provide state-of-the-art, value-add products in three distinct segments: Electronic Gaming Machines (“EGM”), which includes server-based systems and back-office systems that are used by Class II Native American, Mexico and ~~Mexican~~the Philippines gaming jurisdictions and Class III Native American, commercial and charitable jurisdictions; Table Products (“Table Products”), which includes live felt table games, side-bets ~~progressives~~ and ~~ancillary equipment such as singage,~~progressives as well as our newly introduced card shuffler, “Dex S”; and Interactive ~~Casino~~ Games (“Interactive”), which provides social casino games on desktop and mobile devices ~~(“Social”)~~(our "Interactive Social" reporting unit) as well as a platform for content aggregation used by real-money gaming (“RMG”) and sports-betting ~~partners.~~partners (our "RMG Interactive" reporting unit). Each segment’s activities include the design, development, acquisition, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, installation and servicing of a distinct product line.

The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form 10 on December 19, 2013, which went effective under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on December 19, 2013. On January 30, 2018, we completed the initial public offering of 10,250,000 shares of our common stock, at a public offering price of $16.00 per share (the “IPO”).

On February 27, 2018, we sold an additional 1,537,500 shares of common stock, pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise in full of the over-allotment option.

Electronic Gaming Machines

Our EGM segment offers a selection of video slot titles developed for the global marketplace, and EGM cabinets which include the Alora, Orion Portrait, Orion ~~Slant,~~Rise, Orion Upright, ICON, ~~Halo,~~ ~~and~~Big ~~Red/~~Red (“Colossal ~~Diamonds~~Diamonds”) and our Orion Slant. In addition to providing complete EGM units, we offer conversion kits that allow existing game titles to be converted to other game titles offered within that operating platform.

Table Products

Our Table Products include both internally developed and acquired proprietary table products, side-bets, progressives, and table technology related to blackjack, poker, baccarat, craps and roulette. We have acquired a number of popular proprietary brands, including In Bet Gaming (“In Bet”), Buster Blackjack, Double DrawPoker and Criss Cross Poker that are based on traditional well-known public domain games such as blackjack and poker; however, these proprietary games provide intriguing betting options that offer more excitement and greater volatility to the player, ultimately enhancing our casino customers’ profitability. In addition, we offer a single deck card shuffler for poker tables, Dex S.

and recently introduced our second shuffler, the Pax S single-deck pack shuffler, which we plan to launch in 2020.

Interactive

~~Our business-to-consumer~~

We operate a B2B online gaming platform for content aggregation that we offer to our real-money gaming (“RMG”) online casino customers. This platform aggregates content from several game suppliers and offers online casino operators the convenience to reduce the number of integrations that are needed to supply the online casino. We also operate Business-to-Consumer (“B2C”) social casino games that include online versions of our EGM titles and are ~~primarily delivered through~~accessible to players on multiple mobile platforms. Our B2C social casino games are available on our mobile app, Lucky Play Casino. The app contains ~~several~~numerous AGS game titles available for consumers to play for ~~fun and~~free or with ~~coins that~~virtual currency they purchase ~~through~~in the app. Some of our most popular social casino games include content that is also popular in land-based settings such as Golden Wins, Royal Wheels and So Hot. We have recently expanded into the business-to-business (“B2B”) space through our core app, Lucky Play Casino, whereby we white label our social casino game product and enable our land-based casino customers to brand the social casino gaming product with their own casino name. With the recent acquisition of Gameiom Technologies Limited (defined below) as described in Note 2, we now offer a platform for B2B content aggregation used by RMG and sports-betting partners.

(unaudited)

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make decisions based upon estimates, assumptions, and factors considered relevant to the circumstances. Such decisions include the selection of applicable accounting principles and the use of judgment in their application, the results of which impact reported amounts and disclosures. Changes in future economic conditions or other business circumstances may affect the outcomes of the estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those anticipated.

Revenue Recognition

Leasing of equipment in both our EGM and Table Products segments is accounted for under lease accounting guidance in ASC 842, "Leases" (ASC 842) and is recorded in gaming operations revenue. Our remaining revenue streams are accounted for under ASC 606 "Revenue from contracts with customers" (ASC 606) including equipment sales in our EGM and, to a lesser extent, in our Table Products segments. Revenue earned in our Interactive segment is recorded in gaming operations revenue.

The following table disaggregates our revenues by type within each of our segments (amounts in thousands):

The participation arrangements convey the right to use the equipment (i.e., gaming machines and related integral software) for a stated period of time, which typically ranges from one to three years upon which the contract continues on a month-to-month basis thereafter. In some instances, the Company will enter arrangements for longer periods of time; however, many of these arrangements include the ability of the customer to cancel the contract and return the games to the Company, a provision which renders their contracts effectively month-to-month ~~contracts.~~

In some instances, we will offer a free trial period during which no revenue is recognized. If during or at the conclusion of the trial period the customer chooses to enter into a lease for the gaming equipment, we commence revenue recognition according to the terms of the agreement.

Under participation arrangements, the Company retains ownership of the gaming equipment installed at the customer facilities and receives either revenue based on a percentage of the win per day generated by the gaming equipment or a fixed daily fee. Thus, in our consolidated financial statements the Company records revenue monthly related to these arrangements and the gaming equipment is recorded in property and equipment, net on our balance sheet and depreciated over the expected life of the gaming equipment.

The majority of the Company’s leases require the Company to provide maintenance throughout the entire term of the lease. In some cases, a performance guarantee exists that, if not met, provides the customer with the right to return the gaming machines to the Company. This performance guarantee is considered a cancellation clause, a provision which renders their contracts effectively month-to-month contracts. Accordingly, the Company accounts for these contracts in a similar manner with its other operating leases as described above.

Gaming operations revenue is also earned from the licensing of table product content and is earned and recognized primarily on a fixed monthly rate. Our B2C social casino products earn revenue from the sale of virtual coins or chips, which is recorded when the purchased coins or chips are used by the customer. B2C social casino revenue is presented gross of the platform fees. B2B social casino products earn revenue primarily based on a percentage of the monthly revenue generated by the white label casino apps that we build and operate for our customers. RMG revenue is earned primarily based on a percentage of the revenue produced by the games on our platform as well as monthly platform fees and initial integration fees. RMG revenue is presented net of payments to game and content suppliers.

Equipment Sales

Revenues from contracts with customers are recognized and recorded when the following criteria are met:

We have a contract that has been approved by both the customer and the Company. Our contracts specify the products being sold and payment terms and are recognized when it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the contracted amount; and

~~Delivery has occurred and services have been rendered in accordance with the contract terms.~~

	•	We have a contract that has been approved by both the customer and the Company. Our contracts specify the products being sold and payment terms and are recognized when it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the contracted amount; and
	•	Control has been transferred and services have been rendered in accordance with the contract terms.

Equipment sales are generated from the sale of gaming machines, ~~and~~ table products and licensing rights to the integral game content software that is installed in the related equipment, parts, and other ancillary equipment. Also included within the deliverables are delivery, installation and training, all of which occur within a few days of arriving at the customer location. Equipment sales do not include maintenance beyond a standard warranty period. The recognition of revenue from the sale of gaming devices occurs as the customer obtains control of the product and all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Our contracts include a fixed transaction price. Amounts are due from customers within 30 to 90 days of the invoice date and to a lesser extent we offer extended payment terms of 12 to 24 months with payments due monthly during the extended payment period.

The Company enters into revenue arrangements that may consist of multiple performance obligations, which are typically multiple distinct products that may be shipped to the customer at different times. For example, sales arrangements may include the sale of gaming machines and table products to be delivered upon the consummation of the contract and additional game content conversion kits that will be delivered at a later date when requested by the customer to replace the game content on the customer’s existing gaming machines. Products are identified as separate performance obligations if they are distinct, which occurs if the customer can benefit from the product on its own and is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.

Revenue is allocated to the separate performance obligations based on relative standalone selling prices determined at contract inception. Standalone selling prices are primarily determined by prices that we charge for the products when they are sold separately. When a product is not sold separately, we determine the standalone selling price with reference to our standard pricing policies and practices. We elected to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price, sales taxes and all other items of a similar nature, and also elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment of our promise to transfer the goods. Accordingly, shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

Revenue allocated to any undelivered performance obligations is recorded as a contract liability. The balance of our contract liabilities was not material as of March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of deposits held at major banks and other marketable securities with original maturities of 90 days or less.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash amounts represent funds held in escrow as collateral for the Company’s surety bonds for various gaming authorities.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are stated at face value less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable and notes receivable, which are non-interest bearing, deemed to have a high risk of collectability. The Company reviews the accounts receivable and notes receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. The Company analyzes historical collection trends and changes in the customers’ payment patterns, customer concentration, and credit worthiness when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. A large percentage of receivables are with Native American tribes and the Company has concentrations of credit risk with several tribes. The Company includes any receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible in the overall allowance for doubtful accounts. Changes in the assumptions or estimates reflecting the collectability of certain accounts could materially affect the allowance for both accounts and notes receivable.

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

Management estimates the allowance for expected credit losses balance using relevant available information from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current environmental economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecast. The allowance for expected credit losses on financial instruments is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The financial instruments that do not share risk characteristics, such as receivables related to development agreements, are evaluated on an individual basis. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the related financial instruments, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate, based on a historical model that includes periodic write-offs, recoveries, and adjustments to the reserve. Historically, the identified portfolio segments have shared low collectability risk with immaterial write-off amounts. The Company made an accounting policy election to present the accrued interest receivable balance within another statement of financial position line item. Accrued interest receivable is reported within respective receivables line items on the consolidated balance sheet.

The following table excludes receivables related to operating leases and presents all other receivables' gross amortized cost, allowance for credit losses and amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of parts and supplies that are used to repair and maintain machinery and equipment as well as EGMs in production and finished goods held for sale. Inventories are stated at net realizable value. Cost of inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method for all components of inventory. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities and updates estimates for the net realizable value of inventories. This process includes examining the carrying values of parts and ancillary equipment in comparison to the current fair market values for such equipment (less costs to sell or dispose). Some of the factors involved in this analysis include the overall levels of the inventories, the current and projected sales levels for such products, the projected markets for such products and the costs required to sell the products, including refurbishment costs. Changes in the assumptions or estimates could materially affect the inventory carrying value. As of March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the value of raw material inventory was ~~$22.7~~$32.7 million and ~~$22.3~~$29.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the value of finished goods inventory was ~~$5.7~~$6.3 million and ~~$5.1~~$3.8 million, respectively. There was no work in process material as of March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~

2019.

Property and Equipment

The cost of gaming equipment, consisting of fixed-base player terminals, file servers and other support equipment as well as other property and equipment, is depreciated over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method for financial reporting. The Company capitalizes costs incurred for the refurbishment of used gaming equipment that is typically incurred to refurbish a machine in order to return it to its customer location. The refurbishments extend the life of the gaming equipment beyond the original useful life. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company routinely evaluates the estimated lives used to depreciate assets. The estimated useful lives are as follows:



Gaming equipment (in years)			2 to 6 ~~years~~
Other property and equipment (in years)			3 to 6 ~~years~~

The Company reviews its property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The Company groups long-lived assets for impairment analysis at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows can be measured independently of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. This is typically at the individual gaming machine level or at the cabinet product line level. Impairment testing is performed and losses are estimated when indicators of impairment are present and the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount.

When the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the asset’s carrying amount, an impairment loss is measured to the extent the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount.

The Company measures recoverability of assets to be held and used by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The Company’s policy is to impair, when necessary, excess or obsolete gaming machines on hand that it does not expect to be used. Impairment is based upon several factors, including estimated forecast of gaming machine demand for placement into

casinos. While the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions used in evaluating the carrying amount of these assets are reasonable, different assumptions could affect either the carrying amount or the estimated useful lives of the assets, which could have a significant impact on the results of operations and financial condition.

Intangible Assets

The Company reviews its identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized for identifiable intangibles, other than goodwill, when indicators of impairment are present and the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount.

When the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the intangible asset’s carrying amount, an impairment loss is measured to the extent the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount.

Certain trade names have an indefinite useful life and the Company tests these trade names for possible impairment at least annually, on October 1, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. We perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount. If we believe, as a result of our qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required.

Costs of Capitalized Computer Software

Internally developed gaming software represents the Company’s internal costs to develop gaming titles to utilize on the Company’s gaming machines. Internally developed gaming software is stated at cost and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software, using the straight-line method. Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility has been established and are amortized when the software is placed into service. The computer software we develop reaches technological feasibility when a working model of the computer software is available. Any subsequent software maintenance costs, such as bug fixes and subsequent testing, are expensed as incurred. Discontinued software development costs are expensed when the determination to discontinue is made. Software development costs are amortized over the expected life of the title or group of titles, if applicable, to amortization expense.

On a quarterly basis, or more frequently if circumstances warrant, the Company compares the net book value of its internally developed computer software to the net realizable value on a title or group of title basis. The net realizable value is determined based upon certain assumptions, including the expected future revenues and net cash flows of the gaming titles or group of gaming titles utilizing that software, if applicable.

Goodwill

The excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The Company tests for possible impairment of goodwill at least annually, on October 1, or when circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company has the option to begin with a qualitative assessment, commonly referred to as “Step 0”, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value. This qualitative assessment may include, but is not limited to, reviewing factors such as the general economic environment, industry and market conditions, changes in key assumptions used since the most recently performed valuation and overall financial performance of the reporting units. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis, and depending upon the results of that measurement, the recorded goodwill may be written down and charged to income from operations when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. ~~As of March 31, 2019, there were no indicators of goodwill impairment.~~

Acquisition Accounting

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (ASC 805), in accounting for business acquisitions. It requires us to recognize separately from goodwill the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Significant estimates and assumptions are required to value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable. These estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement and typically include the calculation of an appropriate discount rate and projection of the cash flows associated with each acquired asset. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the fair value of

assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (ASC 820) to its financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as a market-based measurement intended to estimate the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value. These inputs are categorized as follows:

~~Level 1 - quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities;~~

Level 2 - quoted prices in an active market for similar assets or liabilities, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for similar assets or liabilities, inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; and

~~Level 3 - valuation methodology with unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.~~

	•	Level 1 - quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities;
	•	Level 2 - quoted prices in an active market for similar assets or liabilities, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for similar assets or liabilities, inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; and
	•	Level 3 - valuation methodology with unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on the quoted market prices for similar issues (Level 2 inputs). The following table presents the estimated fair value of our long-term debt as of March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018 was $537.3 million and $528.1 million, respectively.~~2019 (in thousands):

	March 31, 2020				December 31, 2019
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Long-term Debt	$	562,423	$	433,475	$	533,727	$	534,578

Accounting for Income Taxes

We conduct business globally and are subject to income taxes in U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. Determination of the appropriate amount and classification of income taxes depends on several factors, including estimates of the timing and probability of realization of deferred income taxes, reserves for uncertain income tax positions and income tax payment timing.

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. Taxes on income of our foreign subsidiaries are provided at the tax rates applicable to the tax jurisdictions in which they are located. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of those benefits is considered more likely than not and a valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets which do not meet this threshold.

The recoverability of certain deferred tax assets is based in part on estimates of future income and the timing of temporary differences, and the failure to fully realize such deferred tax assets could result in a higher tax provision in future periods.

We apply the accounting guidance to our uncertain tax positions and under the guidance, we may recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the issue. The amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that we believe has greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

We are required to make significant judgments when evaluating our uncertain tax positions and the related tax benefits. We believe our assumptions are reasonable; however, there is no guarantee that the final outcome of the related matters will not differ from the amounts reflected in our income tax provisions and accruals. We adjust our liability for uncertain tax positions based on changes in facts and circumstances such as the closing of a tax audit or changes in estimates. Our income tax provision may be impacted to the extent that the final outcome of these tax positions is different than the amounts recorded.

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, President Donald Trump signed H.R. 748, the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ACT (the “CARES Act”). While we are still assessing the impact of the CARES Act, we do not expect this to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contingencies

The Company assesses its exposures to loss contingencies including claims and legal proceedings and accrues a liability if a potential loss is considered probable and the amount can be estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether an exposure is reasonably estimable. Because of uncertainties related to these matters, if the actual loss from a contingency differs from ~~management’s~~Management’s estimate, there could be a material impact on the results of operations or financial position. Operating expenses, including legal fees, associated with contingencies are expensed when incurred.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the period end rate of exchange for asset and liability accounts and the weighted average rate of exchange for income statement accounts. The effects of these translations are recorded as a component of other accumulated comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.

Liquidity and Financing

Due to the business disruption caused by the rapid nationwide spread of the novel coronavirus and the actions by state and tribal governments and businesses to contain the virus, the Company’s customers have closed their operations and their respective markets have been significantly and adversely impacted. As a result of the temporary closures of our casino customers, there has been a decrease in the amount of money spent by consumers on our revenue shared installed base and the amount of daily fees of our participation EGMs and no expansion of existing casinos or development of new casinos. Specifically, gaming operations revenue and equipment sales have decreased compared to the prior year period as a result of the temporary closures of our casino customers. Similarly, our EGM and Table Product segment operating results have been disrupted because each segment’s activities including design, development, acquisition, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, installation and servicing of its products lines have been temporarily halted or significantly reduced. In addition, each segment’s revenue from leasing, licensing and selling products has been adversely impacted due to the temporary closures of our casino customers. As a result, the Company has taken several actions to adapt to the severity of the crisis. Among other things, the Company implemented short-term furloughs with retained benefits, company-wide salary reductions, and an approximate 10% reduction of the workforce. Our non-employee directors have also agreed to reduce their fees by 50%. In addition to these actions, the Company is considering further reductions to payroll and related expenses through additional employee furloughs and may pursue one or more of these alternatives depending on the length of the casino closures in markets and jurisdictions where it earns its revenue in order to conserve liquidity.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $43.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. Under the First Lien Credit Agreement (defined below in Note 6), the Company was required to comply with certain financial covenants at the end of each calendar quarter, including to maintain a maximum net first lien leverage ratio of 6.0 to 1.0. On May 1, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement ("Amendment No. 4") that implemented a financial covenant relief period (the “Financial Covenant Relief Period”) through December 31, 2020 and implemented a revised calculation of EBITDA commencing on the first day after the expiration of the Financial Covenant Relief Period and ending on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter after the expiration of the Financial Covenant Relief Period. As a result of Amendment No. 4, and based on the Company's projected operating results for the next twelve months, the Company expects that it will be in compliance with its debt covenants under the First Lien Credit Agreement for at least the next twelve months. Amendment No. 4 also provided for additional financing of $95.0 million of which the Company received $83.5 million after original issue discount and related fees, which is described in Note 6. The incremental term loans are subject to an interest rate of LIBOR plus 13% and the agreement also provides that any refinancing of the term loans through the issuance of certain debt or any repricing amendment resulting in a lower yield occurring at any time during the first two years after May 1, 2020 will be accompanied by a Make-Whole Premium as defined in the agreement that includes a premium or fee as well as the required payment of any unpaid interest that would have been paid through May 1, 2022. For six months following this two year period a prepayment of the loans will be accompanied by a 1.00% payment premium or fee. Other than described above, the incremental term loans continue to have the same terms as provided under the existing credit agreement. As a result of the additional financing, coupled with existing cash balances, Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund its operating requirements and meet its obligations as they become due for at least the next twelve months.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In ~~February~~June 2016, the FASB issued ASU ~~2016-02,~~ ~~Leases~~No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic ~~842)~~.326), which provides updated guidance on how an entity should measure credit losses on financial instruments. The new guidance replaced the current incurred loss measurement methodology with a lifetime expected loss measurement methodology. Subsequently, in November 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 intends to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The adoption of this guidance has resulted in a significant portion of ourNo. 2018-19, which clarified that receivables arising from operating leases ~~where we~~ are not within the ~~lessee,~~scope of Subtopic 326-20, but should rather be accounted for in accordance with ASC 842. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05 providing targeted transition relief to ~~be recognized on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.~~all reporting entities within the scope of Topic 326. The ~~guidance requires lessees~~new standard and ~~lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-02 is~~related amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, ~~2018, and~~2019, including interim periods within those fiscal ~~years with earlier adoption permitted. In July of 2018,~~years. This guidance is expected to be applied using a modified retrospective approach for the ~~FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which is intended~~cumulative-effect adjustment to ~~reduce costs and ease implementation~~retained earnings as of the ~~leases standard~~beginning of the first reporting period in which the ~~preparation of financial statements.

ASU 2018-11 provides an optional transition method that allows entities to elect to apply~~debt securities for which any other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the ~~standard~~effective date. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective approach at its effective date, versus recasting the prior years presented. The Company elected a date of initial application of January 1, 2019. In doing so, the Company (i) applied ASC 840 in the comparative periods, (ii) provided the disclosures required by ASC 840 for all ~~periods that continue to be presented in accordance with ASC 840. The adoption of the standard had no effect on retained earnings as of January 1, 2019.~~applicable financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Company elected the practical expedient to ~~use hindsight when determining lease term~~exclude accrued interest from tabular disclosure and ~~a package of practical expedients~~not to not reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease, lease classification, and initial direct costs. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as ofestimate an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest. Results for reporting beginning after January 1, ~~2019. See Note 15.~~2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The Company adopted the standard prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after January 1, 2020. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows.

We do not expect that any other recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on our financial statements.

. The acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of a business and the assets acquired ~~and liabilities assumed~~ were measured based on our ~~preliminary~~ estimates of their fair values at the acquisition date. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill (not tax deductible) are subject to adjustment as we finalize our fair value analysis. The significant items for which a final fair value has not been determined as of the filing of this report include the fair value of intangible assets and deferred taxes. We expect to complete our fair value determinations no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The acquisition of Integrity was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The property, plant and equipment which fair value was determined based on the cost and market approach (Level 2 fair value measurement), consist primarily of electronic gaming machines ("EGM") assets.The intangible assets consist of customer relationships which will be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately 10 years. The intangible assets were valued using the excess earnings method (level 3 fair value measurement), which is a risk-adjusted discounted cash flow approach that determines the value of an intangible asset as the present value of the cash flows attributable to such asset after excluding the proportion of the cash flows that are attributable to other assets. The contribution to the cash flows that are made by other assets - such as net working capital, assembled workforce and property, plant and equipment - was estimated through contributory asset capital charges. The value of the customer relationships is the present value of the attributed post-tax cash flows, net of the post-tax return on fair value attributed to the other assets.

The information below reflects preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on assumptions and estimates related to fair value that are subject to change as additional information may become available during the respective measurement periods (up to one year from the acquisition date). Specifically, the Company is still evaluating the fair value of intangible assets and deferred taxes.

We recognized the $0.6 million related to property tax liability and $1.3 million related to uncertain tax positions arising from contingencies which were valued at their fair value utilizing Level 3 inputs. We did not summarize the amounts of revenue and earnings of Integrity since the acquisition date included in the consolidated income statement as it was immediately combined with our existing business and separating the results of operations would be impracticable.

~~AGS iGaming~~

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company acquired all of the equity of Gameiom Technologies Limited (formerly known as “Gameiom”, currently known as “AGS iGaming”). AGS iGaming is a licensed gaming aggregator and content provider for real-money gaming (“RMG”) and sports betting partners. The acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of a business and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were measured based on our preliminary estimates of their fair values at the acquisition date. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill are subject to adjustment as we finalize our fair value analysis. The significant items for which a final fair value has not been determined as of the filing of this report include the fair value of intangible assets. We expect to complete our fair value determinations no later than one year from the acquisition date.

We attribute the goodwill ~~acquired~~recognized to our ability to ~~utilize AGS iGaming’s existing RMG platform to distribute~~commercialize the products over our ~~existing EGM game content into many markets, diversification of our Interactive segment’s product portfolio that now includes a real-money gaming solution~~distribution and sales network, opportunities for synergies, and other strategic benefits. The ~~total~~ consideration ~~for this acquisition~~of $4.0 million was ~~$5.0 million, which included cash paid of $4.5 million and $0.5 million of deferred consideration that is payable within 18 months of the acquisition date. The consideration was preliminarily~~ allocated primarily to ~~goodwill that is not~~ tax deductible goodwill for ~~$3.7~~$1.2 million and intangible assets of ~~$2.1~~$2.8 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average period of approximately ~~6.7~~9.3 years.

The intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships and a technology platform. The customer relationships were valued using the cost approaches (level 3 fair value measurement), in which we determined an estimated reproduction or replacement cost, as applicable. The

technology platform was valued using the royalty savings method (level 3 fair value measurement), which is a risk-adjusted discounted cash flow approach. The royalty savings method values an intangible asset by estimating the royalties saved through ownership of the asset. The royalty savings method requires identifying the future revenue that would be impacted by the technology platform (or royalty-free rights to the assets), multiplying it by a royalty rate deemed to be avoided through ownership of the asset and discounting the projected royalty savings amounts back to the acquisition date. The royalty rate used in such valuation was based on a consideration of market rates for similar categories of assets.

It is not practicable to provide pro forma statements of operations giving effect to the AGS iGaming acquisition as if it had been completed at an earlier date. This is due to the lack of historical financial information sufficient to produce such pro forma statements given the start up nature of AGS iGaming.

⁽¹⁾ Accumulated goodwill impairment charges for the Interactive segment as of March 31, 2020 were $8.4 million.

During the first quarter of 2020, our EGM and Table Products reporting units' operating results were significantly lower than expectations, driven by the rapid nationwide spread of the novel coronavirus and the actions taken by state and tribal governments and businesses, including the closure of casinos, in an attempt to contain the virus. Many of our customers have temporarily closed their operations and the markets that we serve have been significantly and adversely impacted, which was considered to be a triggering event. These closures have resulted in a reduction of gaming operations revenues particularly related to our leased EGMs and table products as we have ceased to bill our customers from the date that they closed. The closures have also impacted equipment sales revenue due to a decline in our customer demand to purchase our EGMs and other products during the closures. Accordingly, we performed a quantitative assessment, or “Step 1” analysis, as of March 31, 2020 to analyze whether this triggering event resulted in an impairment of associated goodwill in these two reporting units. There is no balance of goodwill in the Company’s other reporting unit.

Based on our quantitative analysis, the fair value was 34% greater than the carrying value for the EGM reporting unit and 21% greater for the Table Products reporting unit. As of October 1, 2019 (the date of the Company’s annual impairment assessment), the fair values of the EGM reporting unit and the Table Products reporting unit were ~~$4.8 million.~~

50% and 111% greater than their respective carrying values. We estimated the fair value of both reporting units using the discounted cash flow method. The most significant factor in the assessment was the projected cash flows adjusted for the estimated adverse impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations. Our projected cash flows for the current year are dependent on our assumptions for when our casino customers will reopen. The current year projected cash flows and those for future years are also impacted by our estimate of when the operations of our casino customers will return to pre-COVID-19 levels. Given the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 across our business, the long-range cash flow projections that we use to assess the fair value of our businesses and assets for purposes of impairment testing are subject to greater uncertainty than normal. If our projections do not align with our actual results in future quarters, we will update the projected cash flows, which may result in an impairment of goodwill. Other factors included in the discounted cash flow calculation were the discount rate of 10% for EGM and 14% for Table Products and the long-term growth rate of 3% for both reporting units. As of October 1, 2019, the discount rates utilized in the discounted cash flow projections were 10% and 14% for the EGM and Table Products reporting units, respectively.

Management reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairments recorded for the period ended March 31, 2020. We recorded impairments related to internally developed gaming titles of $0.4 million for the period ended March 31, 2019 ~~and $0.6 million for the period ended March 31, 2018~~ as it was determined by ~~management~~Management that the gaming titles would no longer be used.

The Company enters into development agreements and placement fee agreements with certain customers to secure floor space under lease agreements for its gaming machines. Amounts paid in connection with the development agreements are repaid to the Company in accordance with the terms of the agreement, whereas placements fees are not reimbursed. For development agreements in the form of a loan, interest income is recognized on the repayment of the notes based on the stated rate or, if not stated explicitly in the development agreement, on an imputed interest rate. If the stated interest rate is deemed to be other than a market rate or zero, a discount is recorded on the note receivable as a result of the difference between the stated and market rate and a corresponding intangible asset is recorded. The intangible asset is recognized in the financial statements as a contract right under development agreement and amortized as a reduction in revenue over the term of the agreement. Placement fees can be in the form of cash paid upfront or free lease periods and are accreted over the life of the contract and the expense is recorded as a reduction of revenue. We recorded a reduction of gaming operations revenue from the accretion of contract rights under development agreements and placement fees of ~~$1.3~~$1.9 million and ~~$1.1~~$1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively.

In March 2019, we entered into a placement fee agreement with a customer for certain of its locations and capitalized approximately $33.1 million additional placement fees, in addition to $2.1 million of unamortized fees related to superseded contracts. The liability was recorded at present value and cash payments totaling $40.1 million will be paid over a term of 83 months.

First Lien Credit Facilities

On June 6, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), AP Gaming I, LLC (the “Borrower”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a first lien credit agreement (“the First Lien Credit Agreement”), providing for $450.0 million in term loans and a $30.0 million revolving credit facility. The proceeds of the term loans were used primarily to repay the ~~senior secured credit facilities, the notes issued by the Company to AGS Holdings, LLC and the promissory note issued by the Company to Amaya Inc.,~~Company's then existing term loans, other indebtedness, to pay for the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing and otherwise for general corporate purposes.

The full amount of the revolving credit facility was drawn on March 19, 2020 as a precautionary measure in order to increase the Company’s cash position and facilitate financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. The proceeds from the borrowings under the revolving credit facility are currently being held on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The term loans will mature on February 15, 2024, and the revolving credit facility will mature on June 6, 2022. The term loans require scheduled quarterly payments in amounts equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the term loans, with the balance due at maturity. Borrowings under the term loans and revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Borrower’s option, either LIBOR or the base rate, subject to an interest rate floor plus an applicable margin rate. In addition, on a quarterly basis, the Borrower is required to pay each lender under the revolving credit facility a commitment fee in respect of any unused commitments thereunder at a rate of 0.50% per annum.

On December 6, 2017, the Borrower entered into incremental facilities for $65.0 million in term loans (the “December Incremental Term Loans”). The net proceeds of the December Incremental Term Loans were used to finance the acquisition of electronic gaming machines and related assets operated by Rocket Gaming Systems (“Rocket”) and to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith and for general corporate purposes.

An ~~additional~~additional $1.0 million in loan costs were incurred related to the issuance of the December Incremental Term Loans. Given the composition of the lender group, the transaction was accounted for as a debt modification and, as such, $0.9 million in third-party costs were expensed and included in the loss on extinguishment and modification of ~~debt, the~~debt. The remaining amount was capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the agreement.

On February 8, 2018, the Borrower completed the repricing of its existing ~~$513~~$513.0 million term loans under its First Lien Credit Agreement (the “Term Loans”). The Term Loans were repriced from 550 basis points to 425 basis points over LIBOR. The LIBOR floor remained at 100 basis points.

On February 8, 2018, in connection with the repricing of the Term Loans, third-party costs of $1.2 million were expensed and included in the loss and modification of debt. Existing debt issuance costs of $0.4 million were written-off and also included in the loss on extinguishment and modification of debt.

On October 5, 2018, the Borrower entered into an Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement No. 2 (the “Incremental Agreement No. 2”) with certain of the Borrower’s subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto from time to time and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Agreement No. 2 amended and restated that certain First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of June 6, 2017, as amended on December 6, 2017 and as amended and restated on February 8, 2018 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto, the Administrative Agent and other parties named therein (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), to (a) reduce the applicable interest rate margin for the Term B Loans (as repriced, the “Repriced Term B Loans”) under the Credit Agreement by 0.75% (which shall increase by an additional 0.25% if at any time the Borrower receives a corporate credit rating of at least B1 from Moody’s, regardless of any future rating) and (b) provide for the incurrence by the Borrower of incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount of ~~$30~~$30.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loans” and together with the Repriced Term B Loans, the “Term B Loans”).

On October 5, 2018, in connection with the repricing of the Term Loans, third-party costs of $1.5 million were expensed and included in the loss on extinguishment and modification of debt.

On August 30, 2019, the Borrower entered into Amendment No. 3 (the "Repricing Amendment") to the credit agreement. The Repricing Amendment reduced the interest rate margin on the revolving credit facility to the same interest rate margin as the term loans issued under the credit agreement.

On May 1, 2020, the Borrower entered into Amendment No. 4 to the First Lien Credit Agreement that provided for covenant relief (as described in Note 1) as well as $95.0 million in incremental term loans of which the net proceeds received by the Company were $83.5 million after original issue discount and related fees. The incremental term loans are subject to an interest rate of LIBOR plus 13% and the agreement also provides that any refinancing of the term loans through the issuance of certain debt or any repricing amendment resulting in a lower yield occurring at any time during the first two years after May 1, 2020 will be accompanied by a Make-Whole Premium as defined in the agreement that includes a premium or fee as well as the required payment of any unpaid interest that would have been paid through May 1, 2022. For six months following this two year period, a prepayment of the loans will be accompanied by a 1.00% payment premium or fee. Other than described above, the incremental term loans continue to have the same terms as provided under the Existing Credit Agreement.

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we were in compliance with the required covenants of our debt instruments.

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

~~Common Stock~~

~~Prior to the completion~~

Our amended and restated articles of ~~the IPO, the Company’s common~~incorporation provide that our authorized capital stock ~~consisted~~will consist of two classes: class A voting common stock (“Class A Shares”) and class B non-voting common stock (“Class B Shares”). In connection with the IPO, we (i) reclassified Class B Shares into a new class of voting common stock, which is the class of stock investors received in the IPO, and (ii) canceled the Class A Shares. Concurrent with this reclassification, and immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO, we effected a 1.5543-for-1 stock split of the Company’s new voting common stock such that existing stockholders each received 1.5543 shares of the new voting common stock described above in clause (i) for each share of Class B Shares they held at that time. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the stock split.

~~On January 26, 2018, the Company completed the IPO, in which it issued and sold 10,250,000~~450,000,000 shares of common stock, ~~at a public offering price~~par value $0.01 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of ~~$16.00~~preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. ~~On February 27, 2018 the Company sold an additional 1,537,500 shares~~As of its common stock, pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise in full of the over-allotment option. The aggregate net proceeds received by the Company from the IPO were $171.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses directly related to issuance of the equity.

NOTE 11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

~~All share information is presented after giving effect to the 1.5543-for-1 stock split consummated on January 30, 2018 in connection with our initial public offering.~~

Stock Options

The Company has granted stock awards to eligible participants under its incentive plans. The stock awards include options to purchase the Company’s common stock. These stock options include a combination of service and market conditions, as further described below. Prior to the Company’s IPO, these stock options included a performance vesting condition, a Qualified Public Offering (see Note 7), which was not considered to be probable prior to the consummation of the IPO, and as a result, no share-based compensation expense for stock options was recognized prior to 2018.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized $0.1 million in stock-based compensation for stock options and $1.4 million for restricted stock awards. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $0.2 million in stock-based compensation for stock options and $0.9 million for restricted stock awards. We recognize stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for time based awards and we recognize the expense for awards with market conditions over the service period derived from the related valuation.

The amount of unrecognized compensation expense associated with stock options was ~~$1.6~~$0.7 million and for restricted stock was ~~$16.9~~$10.3 million at March 31, ~~2019~~2020 which is expected to be recognized over ~~the~~ a ~~2.2~~1.8 and ~~3.1~~2.6 yearly weighted average period, respectively.

The Company calculates the grant date fair value of stock options that vest over a service period using the Black Scholes model. For stock options that contain a market condition related to the return on investment that the Company’s stockholders achieve, the options are valued using a lattice-based option valuation model. The assumptions used in these calculations are the expected dividend yield, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected term (in years). Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from comparable companies. The expected time to liquidity is based on ~~management’s~~Management’s estimate. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for a term equivalent to the estimated time to liquidity. There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019 and 2018.~~

2020.

Stock option awards represent options to purchase common stock and are granted pursuant to the Company’s incentive plans, and include options that the Company primarily classifies as Tranche A or time based, Tranche B and Tranche C.

Tranche A or time based options are eligible to vest in equal installments of 20% or 25% on each of the first five or four anniversaries of the date of the grant, subject to continued employment with the Company or its subsidiaries. In the event of a termination of employment without cause or as a result of death or disability, any such time based options which would have vested on the next applicable vesting date shall become vested, and the remaining unvested time based options shall be forfeited. In addition, upon a Change in Control (as defined in the incentive plans), subject to continued employment through the date of the Change in Control, all outstanding unvested time based options shall immediately vest. An IPO does not qualify as a Change in Control as it relates to the vesting of stock options.

All other option awards are eligible to vest upon the satisfaction of certain performance conditions (collectively, “Performance Options”). ~~On January 16, 2018, we amended our option agreements to add additional vesting provisions to our Performance Options. Tranche B options are eligible to vest based on (a)~~These performance conditions included the achievement of ~~an Investor IRR equal to~~investor returns or in excess of 20%, subject to a minimum cash-on-cash return of 2.5 times the Investor Investment (as such terms are defined in the Company’s 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan) or (b) on the first day that the volume-weighted average price per share of our common stock ~~for the prior 60 consecutive~~ trading days exceeds $19.11 (provided that such 60-day period shall not commence earlier than the 181st day after the completion of our IPO). Tranche C options are eligible to vest based on (a) achievement of an Investor IRR (as defined in the incentive plans) equal to or in excess of 25%, subject to a minimum cash-on-cash return of 3.0 times the Investor Investment or (b) on the first day that the volume-weighted average price per share of our common stock for the prior 60 consecutive trading days exceeds $22.93 (provided that such 60-day period shall not commence earlier than the 181st day after the completion of our IPO). In the event of a termination of employment without cause or as a result of death or disability, any Performance Options which are outstanding and unvested will remain eligible to vest subject to achievement of suchprices. These performance targets (without regard to the continued service requirement) until the first anniversary of the date of such termination. As a result of the modification, the Company measured the incremental fair value of Tranche B and Tranche C options, which resulted in $2.9 million of incremental fair value.

~~As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 617,510 Performance Options outstanding, all of which have vested as the vesting provisions~~conditions were achieved in October ~~2018.~~

of 2018 for all Performance Options that have been granted and there are currently 595,621 Performance Options exercisable and outstanding.

Restricted stock awards are typically eligible to vest in equal installments of 25% on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of the grant, subject to continued employment with the Company or its subsidiaries. In the event of a termination of employment without cause upon or within 12 months following a change in control or as a result of death or disability, any such unvested time based restricted stock awards shall become vested.

NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was a benefit of 19.0%. This effective rate approximates the federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to offsetting changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and lapse in applicable statute of limitations for certain uncertain tax positions. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was a benefit of 100.2%. The difference between the federal statutory rate of ~~21%~~21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 ~~was~~, is primarily due to changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and lapse in the applicable statute of limitations for certain uncertain tax positions. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was a benefit of 56.6%. The difference between the federal statutory rate of 21% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018, was primarily due to changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and lapse in certain statutes.

The Company entered into an indemnification agreement with the prior owners of Cadillac Jack (acquired in May of 2015) whereby the prior owners have agreed to indemnify the Company for changes in tax positions by taxing authorities for periods prior to the acquisition. As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, an indemnification receivable of ~~$3.8~~$0.6 million has been recorded in other assets in the financial statements. This amount includes the indemnification of the original pre-acquisition tax positions along with any related accrued interest and penalties and is offset by a corresponding liability for unrecognized tax benefits in other long-term liabilities. When the related unrecognized tax benefits are favorably resolved, a corresponding charge to relieve the associated indemnification receivable would be recognized in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive ~~Income~~ (Loss). Income.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized a $3.2 million reduction in the indemnification receivable and related charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income primarily due to lapse in the applicable statute of limitations on indemnified tax positions. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized a $5.5 million reduction in the indemnification receivable and related ~~charge~~charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income ~~(Loss)~~ primarily due to lapse in the applicable statute of limitations on indemnified tax positions.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to federal, state and Native American laws and regulations that affect both its general commercial relationships with its customers, as well as the products and services provided to them. Periodically, the Company reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses the potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. If a potential loss from any claim or legal proceeding is considered reasonably possible, the Company discloses an estimate of the possible loss or range of possible loss, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. ~~There are no matters that meet the criteria for disclosure outlined above.~~ Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether an exposure is reasonably estimable. Because of uncertainties related to these matters, accruals are based only on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability related to their pending claims and litigation and may revise their estimates. Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material impact on the results of operations and financial condition.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a $1.6 million loss reserve, for which insurance coverage has been triggered. In accordance with GAAP, the offsetting insurance recovery will be recognized when it is realized or realizable in a future period.

NOTE 14. OPERATING SEGMENTS

We report our business segment results by segment in accordance with the “management approach.” The ~~management~~Management approach designates the internal reporting used by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is our ~~chief executive officer~~Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), for making decisions and assessing performance of our reportable segments.

See Note 1 for a detailed discussion of our three segments. Each segment’s activities include the design, development, acquisition, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, installation and servicing of its product lines. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on revenues and segment adjusted EBITDA, which is defined in the paragraph below.

Segment revenues include leasing, licensing, or selling of products within each reportable segment. Segment adjusted EBITDA includes the revenues and operating expenses from each segment adjusted for depreciation, amortization, write-downs and other charges, accretion of placement fees, non-cash stock based compensation expense, as well as other costs such as certain acquisitions and integration related costs including restructuring and severance charges; initial public offering and secondary offerings costs; legal and litigation expenses including settlement payments; new jurisdictions and regulatory licensing costs; non-cash charges on capitalized installation and delivery; contract cancellation fees; and other adjustments primarily composed of professional fees incurred by the Company for projects, corporate and public filing compliance and other costs deemed to be non-recurring in nature. Revenues in each segment are attributable to third parties and segment operating expenses are directly associated with the product lines included in each segment such as research and development, product approval costs, product-related litigation expenses, sales commissions and other directly-allocable sales expenses. Cost of gaming operations and cost of equipment sales primarily include the cost of products sold, service, manufacturing overhead, shipping and installation.

Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes other income and expense, income taxes and certain expenses that are managed outside of the operating segments.

The Company’s CODM does not receive a report with a measure of total assets or capital expenditures for each reportable segment as this information is not used for the evaluation of segment performance. The CODM assesses the performance of each segment based on adjusted EBITDA and not based on assets or capital expenditures due to the fact that two of the Company’s reportable segments, Table Products and Interactive, are not capital intensive. Any capital expenditure information is provided to the CODM on a consolidated basis. Therefore, the Company has not provided asset and capital expenditure information by reportable segment.

~~NOTE 15. LEASES~~

~~Operating Leases~~

We lease office space, warehouses and office equipment which we classify as operating leases. Our operating leases have remaining lease terms from over 1 year to over 9 years. Operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and leases that include an option to terminate without material penalty are not recorded on the balance sheet. Most leases recorded on the balance sheet have an option to renew and do not have an option to terminate without a material penalty. We recognize lease expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The exercise of the renewal options is at our sole discretion. For all our existing leases we are not reasonably certain we will exercise the renewal option. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. Our operating lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. As most of our operating leases contracts do not provide an implicit rate, we use the First Lien Term Loan rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the First Lien Term Loan rate on December 31, 2018, for the initial measurement of all operating leases as of January 1, 2019 that commenced on or prior to that date.

~~Finance Leases~~

We lease vehicles which we account for as finance leases. Our finance leases have remaining lease terms from 2 months to 59 months. We recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Our finance lease agreements do not contain material restrictive covenants or material residual value guarantees. We use the rate implicit in the lease at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments for finance leases.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we did not have any lease agreements with variable lease costs and short-term lease costs, excluding expenses relating to leases with a lease term of one month or less were immaterial.

Overview

We are a leading designer and supplier of EGMs and other products and services for the gaming industry. We operate our business in three distinct segments: EGMs, Table Products and Interactive. Each segment's activities include the design, development, acquisition, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, installation and servicing of a distinct product line. Founded in 2005, we historically focused on supplying EGMs, including slot machines, video bingo machines, and other electronic gaming devices, to the Native American gaming market. Since 2014, we have expanded our product line-up to include: (i) Class III EGMs for commercial and Native American casinos permitted to operate Class III EGMs, (ii) table game products and (iii) interactive products, all of which we believe provide us with growth opportunities as we expand in markets where we currently have limited or no presence. ~~Our expansion into Class III and ancillary product offerings has driven our strong growth and momentum in revenue, EGM adjusted EBITDA and our installed base.~~ For the period ended March 31, ~~2019, approximately 72%~~2020, 79% of our total revenue was generated through recurring contracted lease agreements whereby we place EGMs and table game products at our customers’ gaming facilities under either a revenue sharing agreement (we receive a percentage of the revenues that these products generate) or fee-per-day agreement (we receive a daily or monthly fixed fee per EGM or table game product), or recurring revenue from our Interactive gaming operations.

EGM Segment

EGMs constitute our largest segment, representing ~~95%~~93% of our revenue for three months ended March 31, ~~2019.~~2020. We have a library ~~over 380~~of proprietary game titles that we deliver on several state-of-the-art EGM ~~cabinets, including~~ ~~ICON~~ ~~and~~ ~~Orion Upright~~ ~~(our core cabinets),~~ ~~Orion Portrait~~ (cabinets. These include our premium ~~cabinet) and~~ lease only cabinets Orion ~~Slant~~ ~~(our core plus cabinets) and~~ ~~Big Red/Colossal Diamonds~~ ~~(our specialty large-format jumbo cabinet). Our cabinets and game titles are consistently named among the top-performing premium leased games~~Starwall (slated to launch in the ~~industry. We also have developed a new Latin-style bingo cabinet called~~ ~~Alora~~Spring of 2020), ~~which we plan to use in select international markets, including Mexico,~~Orion Rise and Big Red. Also, our core cabinets that are available for sale and lease include the ~~Philippines,~~Orion Portrait, Orion Curve, Orion Slant, Orion Upright and ~~potentially Brazil.~~

We have increased our installed base of EGMs every year from 2005 through the period ended March 31, 2019, and as of March 31, 2019, our total EGM footprint comprised 27,308 units (18,798 domestic and 8,510 international)ICON. We remain highly focused on continuing to expand our installed base of leased EGMs in markets that we currently serve as well as new jurisdictions where we do not presently have any EGMs installed. Since our founding, we have made significant progress in expanding the number of markets where we are licensed to sell or lease our EGMs. In 2005, we were licensed in three states (5 total licenses) and currently we are licensed in 39 U.S. states and eight foreign countries (approximately 275 total licenses). We believe we are positioned to gain significant market share over the next several years.

We design all of our cabinets with the intention of capturing the attention of players on casino floors while aiming to maximize operator profits.

We offer our customers the option of either leasing or purchasing our EGMs and associated gaming systems. Currently, we derive a substantial portion all of our revenues from EGMs installed under revenue sharing or fee-per-day lease agreements, also known as “participation” agreements, and we refer to such revenue generation as our “participation model”. ~~As we expand into new gaming markets and roll out our new and proprietary cabinets and titles, we expect the sales~~

Table of ~~gaming machines and systems will play an increasingly important role in our business and will complement our core participation model.~~Contents

~~We are focused on creating new internal content and leveraging our Atlas operating platform, as a conduit for our current and future products. Currently, our~~ ~~ICON, Orion Portrait~~ , ~~Orion Slant~~ ~~and~~ ~~Orion Upright~~ cabinets run on the Atlas operating platform. We will continue porting our legacy games onto the Atlas platform, enhancing both our Class II and III offerings. We expect internally-generated content to be a larger source of our installed base going forward.

We categorize our EGM titles into two main groups: “Core” and “Premium and Specialty”. Our Core titles have a proven track record of success and are targeted at maintaining and growing our current installed base. Our Premium titles include unique and niche titles that provide a distinctive player experience and are targeted at increasing floor space in both existing and new jurisdictions. Specialty titles describe our jumbo games, such as ~~Colossal Diamonds~~, and games made specifically for high-limit winnings. In total, our development teams have the capabilities to produce approximately 50 games per year. We believe this strategy of producing diversified content will enable us to maintain and grow our market leadership within our current Class II base, as well as continue our expansion into Class III commercial and tribal casinos.

Table Products

In addition to our existing portfolio of EGMs, we also offer our customers more than 40 unique table product offerings, including live felt table games, side bet offerings, progressives, card shufflers, signage, and other ancillary table game equipment. Our table products are designed to enhance the table games section of the casino floor (commonly known as “the pit”). Over the past 10 years, there has been a trend of introducing side bets on blackjack tables to increase the game’s overall hold. Our table products segment offers a full suite of side bets and specialty table games that capitalize on this trend, and we believe that this segment will serve as an important growth engine for ~~our company,~~the Company, including by generating further cross-selling opportunities with our EGM offerings. As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had an installed base of ~~3,285~~3,897 table products domestically and internationally and we believe we are presently a leading supplier of table products to the gaming industry based on number of products placed.

Our Table Products segment focuses on high margin recurring revenue generated by leases. Nearly all of the revenue we generate in this segment is recurring.

Interactive

We ~~have acquired~~operate a B2B online gaming platform for content aggregation that we offer to our real-money gaming (“RMG”) online casino customers. Our B2B platform, the AxSys Games Marketplace, aggregates content from several ~~proprietary table games~~game suppliers and ~~side-bets and developed others in-house.~~

~~One~~offers online casino operators the convenience to reduce the number of ~~the newer areas of our Table Products business consists of our equipment offerings~~integrations that are ~~ancillary~~needed to ~~table games,~~supply the online casino. By integrating with us, online casino operators have access to a significant amount of content from numerous game suppliers. We operate the AxSys Games Marketplace in regulated, legal online gaming jurisdictions such as ~~card shufflers~~the UK, parts of Europe, and ~~table signage, and provide casino operators a greater variety of choice in the marketplace. This product segment includes our highly-anticipated single-card shuffler,~~ ~~Dex S, as well as our baccarat signage solution and roulette readerboard.~~ New Jersey.

We ~~believe this area of the business holds many opportunities for growth, as the technology currently installed in the signage and readerboard areas are in a replacement cycle.~~

After acquiring intellectual property around progressive bonusing systems, our Table Products segment has taken the base systems and heavily expanded on them to now offer customers a bonusing solution for table products. We believe progressive bonusing on table products is a growing trend with substantial growth opportunities. We continue to develop and expand our core system to offer new and exciting bonusing and progressive products for the marketplace.

~~Interactive~~

~~Our~~also operate Business-to-Consumer (“B2C”) social casino games that include online versions of our popular EGM titles and are accessible to players worldwide on multiple mobile platforms, which we believe establishes brand ~~recognition and cross-selling opportunities.~~recognition. Our B2C social casino games operate on a free-to-play model, whereby game players may collect virtual currency or other virtual consumable goods (collectively referred to as “virtual goods” or “virtual currency”) free of charge ~~through the passage of time~~ or through targeted marketing promotions. Additionally, players have the ability to send free “gifts” of virtual goods to their friends through interactions with certain social platforms. If a game player wishes to obtain virtual goods above and beyond the level of free virtual goods available to that player, the player may purchase additional virtual goods. ~~Once obtained, virtual currency (either free or purchased) cannot be redeemed for cash nor exchanged for anything other than game play. We design our portfolio of~~Our B2C social casino games ~~to appeal to the interests of the broad group of people who like to play casino-themed social and mobile games.~~

~~Currently, our B2C social casino games consists exclusively of~~are available on our mobile app, Lucky Play ~~Casino~~.Casino. The app contains numerous AGS game titles available for consumers to play for ~~fun~~free or with ~~chips~~virtual currency they purchase in the app. ~~Some~~

Our B2C games leverage the global connectivity and distribution of Facebook, as well as mobile platforms such as the Apple App Store for Apple devices and the Google Play Store for Android devices, which provides a platform to offer our games as well payment processing.Contents

We have recently expanded into the Business-to-Business (“B2B”) space, whereby we enable our land-based casino customers to brand the social gaming product with their own casino name and brand identity through our Social White-Label Casino (“WLC”) solution. This turnkey, free-to-play mobile casino app solution blends the casino’s brand with AGS’ player-favorite games to strengthen a casino’s relationship with players, create monetization opportunities while players are off property, engage new players, and incentivize players return to the casino.

With the acquisition of Gameiom Technologies Limited (formerly known as “Gameiom”, and currently known as “AGS iGaming”), we now offer a B2B platform for content aggregation used by RMG and sports-betting partners. Our acquired B2B platform aggregates content from game suppliers and offers on-line casino operators the convenience to reduce the number of integrations that are needed to supply the on-line casino. By integrating with us, on-line casino operators have access to a significant amount of content from several game suppliers. AGS iGaming operates in regulated, legal on-line gaming jurisdictions such as the UK and parts of Europe.

~~Other Information~~

~~Customers and marketing~~. We market our products to casinos and other legal gaming establishments around the world with our domestic and international sales force and several domestic and international distributors and/or representatives. We believe the quality and breadth of our

customer base is a strong testament to the effectiveness and quality of our product offerings, technological innovation and customer service. Our customer base includes leading casino operators in leading established gaming markets such as the United States, Canada and Latin America. Our customers include, among others, Caesars Entertainment Corp., MGM Resorts International, Poarch Creek Band of Indians, and the Chickasaw Nation.

Our products and the locations in which we may sell them are subject to the licensing and product approval requirements of various national, state, provincial and tribal jurisdictional agencies that regulate gaming around the world, as discussed in “Part I, Item 1. Business” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2018. We lease and sell our products, with an emphasis on leasing versus selling, primarily in the United States. We service the products we lease and offer service packages to customers who purchase products from us.

~~Product supply.~~ We obtain most of the parts for our products from outside suppliers, including both off-the-shelf items as well as components manufactured to our specifications. We also manufacture parts in-house that are used for product assembly and for servicing existing products. We generally perform warehousing, quality control, final assembly and shipping from our facilities in Atlanta, Las Vegas, Mexico City and Oklahoma City, although small inventories are maintained and repairs are performed by our field service employees. We believe that our sources of supply for components and raw materials are adequate and that alternative sources of materials are available.

Key Drivers of Our Business

Our revenues are impacted by the following key factors:

the amount of money spent by consumers on our domestic revenue share installed base;

•

the amount of the daily fee and selling price of our participation electronic gaming machines;

•

the capital budgets of our customers;

•

the level of replacement of existing electronic gaming machines in existing casinos;

Acquisitions and Divestitures

We have made several strategic acquisitions over the past two years.

In Bet Gaming II.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we acquired certain intangible assets related to table game intellectual property from In Bet Gaming, Inc (“In Bet II”). The acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of a business and the assets acquired were measured based on our estimates of their fair values at the acquisition date. We attribute the goodwill recognized to our ability to commercialize the products over our distribution and sales network, opportunities for synergies, and other strategic benefits. The consideration of $4.0 million was allocated primarily to tax deductible goodwill for $1.2 million and intangible assets of $2.8 million.

Integrity.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we acquired all of the equity of Integrity Gaming Corp. (“Integrity”), a regional slot route operator with over 2,500 gaming machines in operation across over 33 casinos in Oklahoma and Texas. The acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of a business and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were measured based on our estimates of their fair values at the acquisition date. We attribute the goodwill recognized to our ability to utilize Integrity’s installed base to maximize revenue of the combined product portfolio and the synergies we can obtain through the reduction in our combined service and overhead costs.The total consideration for this acquisition was $52.6 million. The consideration was allocated primarily to non-tax deductible goodwill for $11.4 million, property and equipment of $12.7 million and intangible assets of $30.6 million.

The increase was also attributable to a $980, or 5.5% increase in the~~domestic average sales price compared to the prior year period. ~~The increase~~EGM equipment sales revenue also includes revenue from the sale of 395 previously leased, lower yielding units to a distributor in the current year period, which units are not included in our sold unit count or domestic average sales ~~price is due the higher sales price of our new~~price.

Due to the changing nature of our write-downs and other charges, we describe the composition of the balances as opposed to providing a year over year comparison.

Depreciation and amortization. The increase was predominantly due to a ~~$2.8~~$0.3 million increase in depreciation expense driven by purchases of property and equipment and an ~~increased installed base and a decrease~~increase in amortization expense of ~~$0.6~~$2.5 million ~~due~~related to intangible assets ~~that have reached~~purchased in the ~~end of their useful lives.~~Integrity and In Bet II acquisitions as well as additional software assets placed into service.

Other Expense, ~~(Income),~~ net

Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense is predominantly ~~attributed~~attributable to a decrease in variable interest rate applicable to the ~~redemption of our 11.25% senior secured PIK notes as well as the further decrease in the interest rate on our first lien credit facilities we obtained on February 7, 2018 and October 5, 2018.See Item 1. “Financial Statements” Note 6 for a detailed discussion regarding long-term debt. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the principal amounts outstanding~~loans under the first lien credit facilities asyear over year, offset by additional interest from financed placement fees and an increase of ~~March 31, 2019, compared to the amount~~$30.0 million in debt outstanding ~~at March 31, 2018.~~on our revolving credit facility.

Other ~~(income)~~ expense. The decrease is predominantly attributed to the write-off of indemnification receivables of $5.5 million in the prior year period compared to $3.2 million in the current year as the related liability for uncertain tax positions was also written-off due to the lapse in the statute of limitations. See Item 1. “Financial Statements” Note 12 for a detailed description of the indemnification receivable. The remaining change was due to the effect of foreign currency fluctuation on trade payables and receivables denominated in foreign currencies.

Taxes.

The Company's effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, was a benefit of ~~100.2%~~19.0%. ~~The difference between~~This effective rate approximates the federal statutory rate of ~~21% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019, was primarily~~21.0% due to offsetting changes in our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and lapse in applicable statute of limitations for certain uncertain tax positions.

Segment Operating Results

We report our business segment results by segment in accordance with the “management approach.” The ~~management~~Management approach designates the internal reporting used by our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer, for making decisions and assessing performance of our reportable segments.

See Item 1. “Financial Statements” Note 1 for a detailed discussion of our three segments. Each segment’s activities include the design, development, acquisition, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, installation and servicing of its product lines. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on revenues and segment adjusted EBITDA.

Segment revenues include leasing, licensing or selling of products within each reportable segment. We measure segment performance in terms of revenue, segment-specific adjusted EBITDA and unit placements. We believe that unit placements are an important gauge of segment performance for EGM’s and Table Products because it measures historical market placements of leased and sold units and provides insight into potential markets for next-generation products and service. We do not present a sold unit cumulative installed base as previously sold units may no longer be in use by our customers or may have been replaced by other models or products. ~~For our Interactive segment, we view the number of unique players and revenues provided by players on a daily or monthly basis.~~

Adjusted Expenses

We have provided (i) adjusted cost of gaming operations, (ii) adjusted selling, general and administrative costs and (iii) adjusted research and development cost (collectively, the “Adjusted Expenses”) in this Form 10-Q because we believe such measure provides investors with additional information to measure our performance.

We believe that the presentation of each of the Adjusted Expenses is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain non-cash items that vary greatly and are difficult to predict. These Adjusted Expenses take into account non-cash stock compensation expense, acquisitions and integration related costs including restructuring and severance, initial and secondary public offering costs, legal and litigation expenses including settlement payments, new jurisdictions and regulatory licensing costs, non-cash charges on capitalized installation and delivery, non-cash charges and loss on disposition of assets and other adjustments. Further, we believe each of the Adjusted Expenses provides a meaningful measure of our expenses because we use it for evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. It also provides ~~management~~Management and investors with additional information to estimate our value.

Each of the Adjusted Expenses is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP. Our use of the term Adjusted Expenses may vary from others in our industry. Each of the Adjusted Expenses should not be considered as an alternative to our operating expenses under GAAP. Each of the Adjusted Expenses has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Our definition of Adjusted Expenses allows us to add back certain non-cash charges that are deducted in calculating net income and to deduct certain gains that are included in calculating net income. However, these expenses and gains vary greatly, and are difficult to predict. They can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. In addition, in the case of charges or expenses, these items can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes.

Due to these limitations, we rely primarily on our GAAP cost of gaming operations, cost of equipment sales, selling, general and administrative costs and research and development costs and use each of the Adjusted Expenses only supplementarily.

The tables below present each of the Adjusted Expenses and include a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure.

Gaming Operations Revenue

~~The increase~~

Gaming operations revenue decreased primarily due to a decrease in RPD of 20.0% compared to the prior year due to the temporary casino closures that began in March 2020 caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. Additional decreases in gaming operations revenue ~~was primarily~~are due to ~~the increase~~a decrease in our EGM installed base year over year due to sales of ~~approximately 2,245 domestic~~over 700 previously leased, lower yielding units to distributors (395 of which is primarily attributable to the purchase of approximately 2,500 EGMs from Integrity in February 2019, as described in as described in Item 1 “Financial Statements” Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The increase is also attributable to the continued success of our ICON cabinet and the popularity of our Orion Portrait cabinet that have that have increased our installed base, offset by the strategic removal of approximately 500 VLT EGMswere sold in the ~~prior year at one casino as well as~~current period) and the sale of 150 units of previously leased VLT EGMs. ~~In addition, the increase is also attributed to the increase of 1,030 international EGM units, due to the expansion of our market share in under serviced markets within Mexico.~~

Gaming Operations Revenue

The increase in Table Products gaming operations revenue is attributable to the increase in the Table Products installed base to ~~3,285~~3,897 units compared to ~~2,631~~3,285 units in the prior year period offset by a decrease in average monthly lease price as we suspended billing our customers when they closed due to COVID-19 in the current year period. The ~~continued~~ success of ~~side bets, most notably Buster Blackjack and~~ our ~~progressive Bonus Spin,~~progressives such as Super 4, Black Jack Match, Royal 9 as well as the success of the Dex S, are the primary drivers of the increase in the Table Products revenue and installed base compared to the prior year period.

We have provided total adjusted EBITDA in this Form 10-Q because we believe such measure provides investors with additional information to measure our performance.

We believe that the presentation of total adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Further, we believe total adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of operating profitability because we use it for evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. It also provides ~~management~~Management and investors with additional information to estimate our value.

Total adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP. Our use of the term total adjusted EBITDA may vary from others in our industry. Total adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income. Total adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Our definition of adjusted EBITDA allows us to add back certain non-cash charges that are deducted in calculating net income and to deduct certain gains that are included in calculating net income. However, these expenses and gains vary greatly, and are difficult to predict. They can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. In addition, in the case of charges or expenses, these items can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes.

Due to these limitations, we rely primarily on our GAAP results, such as net (loss) income, ~~(loss), (loss)~~ income from operations, EGM ~~Adjusted~~adjusted EBITDA, Table Products ~~Adjusted~~adjusted EBITDA or Interactive ~~Adjusted~~adjusted EBITDA and use Total adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We expect that primary ongoing liquidity requirements for the ~~year ending December~~three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 will be for operating capital expenditures, working capital, debt servicing, game development and other customer acquisition activities. We expect to finance these liquidity requirements through a combination of cash on hand, additional financing, and cash flows from operating activities.

Part of our overall strategy includes consideration of expansion opportunities, underserved markets and acquisition and other strategic opportunities that may arise periodically. We may require additional funds in order to execute on such strategic growth, and may incur additional debt or issue additional equity to finance any such transactions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such debt or issue any such additional equity on acceptable terms or at all.

Due to the business disruption caused by the rapid nationwide spread of the novel coronavirus and the actions by state and tribal governments and businesses to contain the virus, the Company’s customers have closed their operations and their respective markets have been significantly adversely impacted. As a result of the temporary closures of our casino customers, there has been a decrease in the amount of money spent by consumers on our revenue shared installed base and the amount of daily fees of our participation EGMs and no expansion of existing casinos or development of new casinos. Specifically, gaming operations revenue and equipment sales have decreased compared to the prior year period as a result of the temporary closures of our casino customers. Similarly, our EGM and Table Product segment operating results have been disrupted because each segment’s activities including design, development, acquisition, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, installation and servicing of its products lines have been temporarily halted or significantly reduced. In addition, each segment’s revenue from leasing, licensing and selling products has been adversely impacted due to the temporary closures of our casino customers. As a result, the Company has taken several actions to adapt to the severity of the crisis. Among other things, the Company implemented short-term furloughs with retained benefits, company-wide salary reductions, and an approximate 10% reduction of the workforce. Our non-employee directors have also agreed to reduce their fees by 50%. In addition to these actions, the Company is considering further reductions to payroll and related expenses through additional employee furloughs and may pursue one or more of these alternatives depending on the length of the casino closures in markets and jurisdictions where we earn our revenue in order to conserve liquidity.

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had ~~$10.4~~$43.6. million in cash and cash equivalents and $30.0 million available under our revolving credit facility. Based on our current business plan, we believe that our existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and availability under the revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months.equivalents. As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we were in compliance with the required covenants of our debt instruments, including the maximum net first lien leverage ratio, which was ~~3.4~~3.9 to 1.0 out of a maximum of 6.0 to 1.0. ~~However, our future cash requirements could be higher than we currently expect as~~On May 1, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement (the "Amendment No. 4") that implemented a financial covenant relief period (the “Financial Covenant Relief Period”) through December 31, 2020 and implemented a revised calculation of EBITDA commencing on the first day after the expiration of the Financial Covenant Relief Period and ending on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter after the expiration of the Financial Covenant Relief Period. As a result of ~~various factors. Our ability to meet our liquidity needs could~~this Amendment No. 4, and based on the Company's projected operating results for the next twelve months, the Company expects that it will be ~~adversely affected if we suffer adverse results~~in compliance with its debt covenants under the First Lien Credit Agreement for at least the next twelve months. Amendment No. 4 also provided for additional financing of ~~operations, or if we violate~~$95.0 million, of which the ~~covenants~~Company received $83.5 million after original issue discount and ~~restrictions to~~related fees, which weis described in Item 1. "Financial Statements" Note 6. The incremental term loans are subject to an interest rate of LIBOR plus 13% and the agreement also provides that any refinancing of the term loans through the issuance of certain debt or any repricing amendment resulting in a lower yield occurring at any time during the first two years after May 1, 2020 will be accompanied by a Make-Whole Premium as defined in the agreement that includes a premium or fee as well as the required payment of any unpaid interest that would have been paid through May 1, 2022. For six months following this two year period a prepayment of the loans will be accompanied by a 1.00% payment premium or fee. Other than described above, the incremental term loans continue to have the same terms as provided under our debt instruments. Additionally, our ability to generate sufficient cash from our operating activities is subject to general economic, political, regulatory, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and future borrowings may not be available to us under ourthe existing credit ~~facility in an amount~~agreement. As a result of the additional financing along with the $43.6 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand as of March 31, 2020, Management believes that the Company has sufficient ~~to enable us to pay our service or repay our indebtedness or~~liquidity to fund ~~our other liquidity needs,~~its operating requirements and we may be required to seek additional financing through credit facilities with other lenders or institutions or seek additional capital through private placements or public offerings of equity or debt securities.

First Lien Credit Facilities

purposes.The full amount of the revolving credit facility was drawn on March 19, 2020 as a precautionary measure in order to increase the Company’s cash position and facilitate financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. The proceeds from the borrowings under the revolving credit facility are currently being held on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The term loans will mature on February 15, 2024, and the revolving credit facility will mature on June 6, 2022. The term loans require scheduled quarterly payments in amounts equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the term loans, with the balance due at maturity. Borrowings under the term loans and revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Borrower’s option, either LIBOR or the base rate, subject to an interest rate floor plus an applicable margin rate. In addition, on a quarterly basis, the Borrower is required to pay each lender under the revolving credit facility a commitment fee in respect of any unused commitments thereunder at a rate of 0.50% per annum.

On October 5, 2018, the Borrower entered into an Incremental Assumption and Amendment Agreement No. 2 (the “Incremental Agreement No. 2”) with certain of the Borrower’s subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto from time to time and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Agreement ~~No.2~~No. 2 amended and restated that certain First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of June 6, 2017, as amended on December 6, 2017 and as amended and restated on February 7,8, 2018 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto, the Administrative Agent and other parties named therein (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), to (a) reduce the applicable interest rate margin for the Term B Loans (as repriced, the “Repriced Term B Loans”) under the Credit Agreement by 0.75% (which shall increase by an additional 0.25% if at any time the Borrower receives a corporate credit rating of at least B1 from Moody’s, regardless of any future rating) and (b) provide for the incurrence by the Borrower of incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount of ~~$30~~$30.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loans” and together with the Repriced Term B Loans, the “Term B Loans”).

On October 5, 2018, in connection with the repricing of the Term Loans, third-party costs of $1.5 million were expensed and included in the loss on extinguishment and modification of debt.

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we were in compliance with the required covenants of our debt instruments. See Item 1. “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”, Note 1 “Liquidity and Financing” for a description of a change to our financial covenants for future periods.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A description of our critical accounting policies can be found in “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018. During~~2019. There were no material changes to our policies during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019, the Company adopted ASC 842~~which had a material impact on the financial statements and related disclosures. See Item 1 “Financial Statements” Note 15, “Leases” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for our accounting policy related to the adoption2020.

Table of ~~ASC 842.~~Contents

~~The following is an update to the critical accounting policy related to equipment leases based on the adoption of ASC 842:~~

~~Equipment Leases~~

Gaming operations revenue is earned by providing customers with gaming machines, gaming machine content licenses, back-office equipment and linked progressive systems, which are collectively referred to as gaming equipment, under participation arrangements. The participation arrangements convey the right to use the equipment (i.e. gaming machines and related integral software) for a stated period of time, which typically ranges from one to three years and then the contract continues on a month-to-month basis thereafter. In some instances, the Company will enter arrangements for longer periods of time; however, many of these arrangements include the ability of the customer to cancel the contract and return the games to the Company, a provision which renders the contracts effectively month-to-month contracts. The Company will also enter into lease contracts with a revenue sharing arrangement whereby the lease payments due from the customer are variable. Primarily due to these factors, our participation arrangements are accounted for as operating leases.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET ~~RISK.~~

RISK

Interest Rates. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our long-term debt, which accrues interest at variable rates. Certain of our debt instruments accrue interest at LIBOR or the base rate, at our election, subject to an interest rate floor plus an applicable margin rate. In the normal course of business, we are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates as we seek debt and equity capital to sustain our operations. All of our interest rate sensitive financial instruments are held for purposes other than trading purposes. As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, less than 1% of our debt were fixed-rate instruments. Assuming a constant outstanding balance for our variable-rate long term debt, a hypothetical 1% decrease in interest rates would decrease interest expense ~~$5.4~~$3.2 million given our LIBOR floor on related debt, while a hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would increase interest expense approximately ~~$5.4~~$5.6 million.

Foreign currency risk. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk that is inherent to our foreign operations. We currently transact business in Mexico and to a lesser extent in the United Kingdom using the local currency. Our settlement of inter-company trade balances requires the exchange of currencies, which results in the recognition of foreign currency fluctuations. We expect that certain operations will continue to be denominated in foreign currencies. As such, we expect our cash flows and earnings to continue to be exposed to the risks that may arise from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND ~~PROCEDURES.~~

PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, ~~management~~Management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of March 31, ~~2019.~~2020. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our ~~management,~~Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our ~~management,~~Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error and mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by ~~management~~Management override of controls.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We are party to various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe the outcome of such disputes or legal actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

"Item ~~1A.-Risk~~1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019 (the "Annual Report") includes a discussion of our risk factors. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

The Company is supplementing its risk factors described in the Annual Report and the following risk factor should be read in conjunction with the other risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has had and is continuing to have a significant adverse impact and in the future could have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial performance, as well as on the operations and financial performance of many of the customers and suppliers in the gaming industry that we serve. We are unable to predict the extent to which the pandemic and related impacts will continue to adversely impact our business operations, financial performance, results of operations, financial position and the achievement of our business objectives.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, with particular impact to the gaming industry, disrupted global supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility and disruption in the financial markets, and increased unemployment levels. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses, including those of our casino customers, and resulted in the institution of physical distancing and sheltering in place requirements in many states and communities. As a result of the temporary closures of our casino customers, there has been a decrease in the amount of money spent by consumers on our revenue shared installed base and the amount of daily fees of our participation EGMs and no expansion of existing casinos or development of new casinos. Furthermore, general macro-economic factors have resulted in a decline in levels of consumer disposable incomes and personal consumption spending. Consequently, demand for our products and services has been and may continue to be significantly impacted, which has adversely affected our revenue and profitability and could continue to do so in the future. Specifically, gaming operations revenue and equipment sales have decreased compared to the prior year period as a result of the temporary closures of our casino customers. Similarly, our EGM and Table Product segment operating results have been disrupted because each segment’s activities including design, development, acquisition, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, installation and servicing of its products lines have been temporarily halted or significantly reduced. In addition, each segment’s revenue from leasing, licensing and selling products has been adversely impacted due to the temporary closures of our casino customers. Furthermore, the pandemic has impaired and could continue to impair our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity, particularly if casinos and other gaming businesses remain closed or, when they reopen, physical distancing and other COVID-19-protective measures prevent them from opening at full capacity, the impact on the global economy worsens and further impacts the disposable income available to our casino customers’ patrons, or customers continue to delay making payments to us under existing obligations. Furthermore, because of changing economic and market conditions affecting the gaming industry, our ability to achieve our business objectives have been impacted and may continue to be impacted in the future. Our business operations have been disrupted because our workforce has been unable to work effectively due to illness, quarantines, government actions, and other restrictions imposed in connection with the pandemic and our business operations may continue to be impacted in the future. As a result, the Company has taken several actions to adapt to the severity of the crisis. Among other things, the Company has implemented short-term furloughs with retained benefits, company-wide salary reductions, and an approximate 10% reduction of the workforce. We have borrowed funds under existing credit facilities and incremental term loans, and may seek additional funding, to the extent available, under new federal programs such as the CARES Act. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will further impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate the risks disclosed in our Annual Report, including, but not limited to: our ability to comply with the terms of our indebtedness, our ability to generate revenues, earn profits and maintain adequate liquidity, our ability to service existing and attract new customers, maintain our overall competitiveness in the market, the potential for significant fluctuations in demand for our services, overall trends in the gaming industry impacting our business, as well as potential volatility in our stock price.
