provisions (see General Instruction A.2. below):
Three of
the four facilities in Alabama which have installed charitable bingo units
provided by Multimedia Games, Inc. (the “Company”), as well as other game
manufacturers, have recently voluntarily ceased operations for a yet to be
determined amount of time, following an unsuccessful attempt by the Governor’s
Task Force on Illegal Gambling to raid certain of those
facilities. On January 29, 2010, the Governor’s Task Force attempted
a raid on two of the facilities in Alabama where the Company has charitable
bingo units installed. The operator of one of the facilities obtained
a temporary restraining order that stopped the raid on its
facility. The Governor’s Task Force promptly filed an emergency
motion with the Alabama Supreme Court seeking to vacate the temporary
restraining order. On February 4, 2010, the Alabama Supreme Court
issued a ruling that vacated the temporary restraining order.
The
Alabama State Legislature is currently reviewing proposed legislation in the
form of both a general bill and a constitutional amendment that are aimed at
resolving the need for judicial intervention. The legislative or
judicial outcomes are uncertain.
If this
legislation is not timely passed, the facilities of the Company’s Alabama
customers could remain closed for an undetermined period of time.
During
fiscal year 2009, the Company recorded revenues of $9.4 million and
approximately $8.7 million in EBITDA from the Alabama market. In
addition, the Company has deployed assets with a current net book value of $5.7
million, has a $2.7 million loan outstanding to one of the three currently
closed facilities and has approximately $0.9 million in uncollected
receivables. If the facilities of the Company’s Alabama customers
continue to remain closed, the resulting decrease in our revenue and EBITDA for
the 2010 fiscal year, as well as any potential write-down of assets currently
dedicated to the Alabama market may adversely impact our financial results and
our ability to comply with operating covenants in our credit
agreement.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has
duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto
duly authorized.
