SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Company

 

Table Trac, Inc. (the Company) was formed under the laws of the State of Nevada in June 1995. The Company has its offices in Minnetonka, Minnesota. The Company has developed and patented a proprietary information and management system that automates and monitors the operations of casino games.

 

The Company provides system sales and technical support to casinos. System sales include installation, custom casino system configuration and training. In addition, license and technical support are provided under an annual license and service contract.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current year financial statements.  The balance sheet reclassification was a change in the presentation of an allowance for a current asset, which had previously been included in the allowance for doubtful accounts. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net loss.

 

Concentrations of Risk

 

Cash Deposits in Excess of Federally Insured Limits

 

The Company maintains its cash balances at two financial institutions. Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company had approximately $470,000 and $435,000 of uninsured cash balances at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

System Sales

 

Revenue from systems that have been demonstrated to meet customer specifications during installation is recognized when evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been installed, title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. System sales, which are accounted for as multiple-element arrangements, include multiple products and/or services. For multiple-element arrangements, the Company allocates the revenue to each element based on their relative fair estimated value based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) and recognizes the associated revenue when all revenue recognition criteria have been met for each element. If there are contracts the Company does not have VSOE of fair value of all elements, revenue is deferred until the earlier of VSOE being determined or when all elements have been delivered.

 

The Company does offer its customers contracts with extended payment terms.  The Company must evaluate if any extended payment terms in the contract is an indicator of the revenue not being fixed or determinable.  Provided all other revenue recognition criteria has been satisfied, the Company recognizes the revenue if payment of a significant portion of the systems sales is due within 12 months of the delivery of the product.  The Company also analyzes its standard business practice of using long-term contracts and the history of collecting on extended payment term contracts without making concessions for determining if revenue should be recognized.  Revenue and associated set-up costs are deferred if contract terms exceed historical collection results or if a substantial portion of the contract is not due within 12 months after delivery of the product.  The Company analyzes each contract for proper revenue recognition based on that contracts facts and circumstances.  Interest is recorded upon receipt to other income on the statements of operations. 

 

Maintenance revenue

 

Maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. The VSOE for maintenance is based upon the renewal rate for contracted services.

 

Service revenue

 

Service revenue is recognized after the services are performed and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The VSOE for service revenue is established based upon prices for the services.

 

Rental revenue

 

In 2010, the Company began offering certain new customers a rental contract.  Revenues are billed monthly based on a per-game per-day basis.  There is an option to purchase the system after the rental agreement at a pre-determined residual value.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Fair value estimates are at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. The Company considers the carrying values of its financial instruments to approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company held no cash equivalents at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

 

Accounts Receivable / Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. Accounts receivable include regular customer receivables and amounts from financed contracts coming due within 12 months. Amounts from financed contracts due beyond 12 months are recorded as "Long-term accounts receivable – financed contracts".  Interest is recorded upon receipt to other income on the statements of operations. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded when the Company believes the amounts may not be collected. Management believes that receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, are fully collectible. While the ultimate result may differ, management believes that any write-off not allowed for will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is comprised of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or market. The average cost method is used to value inventory. Inventory is reviewed annually for the lower of cost or market and obsolescence. Any material cost found to be above market value or considered obsolete is written down accordingly. The Company had no obsolescence reserve at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from two to five years. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred; major renewals and improvements are capitalized. As items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operating income.

 

Intangible Asset

 

The Company has a patent number 5,957,776 relating to its table game management system. Expenses incurred in obtaining this patent are carried at cost and are being amortized over seventeen years using the straight-line method. Total patent costs were $23,472. The amortization expense was $1,364 and $1,365 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Future amortization is $1,365 for each of the years ending 2012 through 2015 and $1,637 for the year ending 2016.

 

Long-lived Assets

 

The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets by reviewing for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance. This guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than not (a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized) to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon examination and, accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties have been recorded at December 31, 2011 and 2010. In accordance with the guidance, the Company has adopted a policy under which, if required to be recognized in the future, interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes will be classified in operating expenses in the statements of operations. The Company has three open years of tax returns subject to examination.

 

Research and Development

 

Expenditures for research and product development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses was $149,265 and $184,035 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the statements of operations.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes the cost of stock-based compensation plans and awards in operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors. The compensation expense for the Company’s stock-based payments is based on estimated fair values at the time of the grant.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. These option pricing models involve a number of assumptions, including the expected lives of stock options, the volatility of the public market price for the Company’s common stock and interest rates. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions and results for the grants:

 

    2011     2010  
Dividend yield   N/A       None  
Expected volatility     N/A       148.75 %
Expected life of option     N/A       30 months  
Risk-free interest rate     N/A       1.10 %
Forfeiture rate     N/A       None  
Weighted average fair value of options granted     N/A     $ 1.03  

 

There were no stock options issued during 2011. The stock option plan expired on May 16, 2011.

 

Since the Company has only declared dividends once in the past, the dividend yield used was zero. Expected volatility is based on a simple average of the stock price. The expected life of the options is determined using a simplified method, computed as the average of the option vesting periods and the contractual term of the option, as the Company does not have sufficient historical data to estimate the expected term of share-based awards. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the stock options was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. Since the Company’s outstanding stock options have historically been exercised prior to expiration, the forfeiture rate used was zero.

 

 

Stock-based compensation expense related to options was $0 and $72,100 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company estimates the amount of future stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding options to be $0.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates as one reporting segment.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and items defined as other comprehensive income (loss). Items defined as other comprehensive income (loss) include such items as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on certain marketable securities. For the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no items defined as other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options or warrants, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options or warrants were exercised and that the proceeds from the exercise were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period. (See Note 8)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued an update to existing guidance on revenue recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables and deliverables that include software elements effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  This update will allow companies to allocate consideration received for qualified separate deliverables using estimated selling price for both delivered and undelivered items when vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence is unavailable.  Additional disclosures discussing the nature of multiple element arrangements, the types of deliverables under the arrangements, the general timing of their delivery, and significant factors and estimates used to determine estimated selling prices are required. The Company has adopted this update for new revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning January 1, 2011 and our adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
