(1)                                 As a result of the inability to separately identify the cash flows associated with the construction of leased gaming equipment, the Company has included all additions to leased gaming equipment as an increase in inventory under cash used in operating activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. In addition, cash generated from the sale of used gaming equipment classified as leased gaming equipment is also included in cash provided by operating activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company has one process to procure raw materials for the assembly of both inventory and leased gaming equipment. The materials requisition planning process considers the number of devices the Company expects to build for sale and for use in its gaming operations during a particular period, but it does not separately earmark purchases for leased gaming equipment. Without such an earmarking process, the Company is unable to determine whether the parts used to construct leased gaming equipment during a particular period came from inventory on hand at the beginning of the period or was constructed from inventory procured during the period of deployment, thus requiring the expenditure of cash.

BALLY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.                                      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

References to “we,” “our,” “us,” “Bally” or the “Company” refer to Bally Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company supplies innovative hardware and games, including spinning-reel and video gaming devices, specialty gaming devices, table game products and wide-area progressive systems. The Company’s casino-management technology solutions allow its customers to more effectively manage their operations using our wide range of marketing, data management and analysis, accounting, player tracking, security and other software applications and tools. Under its business-to-business model, the Company supports customers that include traditional land-based, riverboat, and Native American casinos, interactive, video lottery and central determination markets.

 

Principles of presentation and consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bally Technologies, Inc., and its subsidiaries, and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), include all adjustments necessary to fairly present the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each period presented. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the year as a whole. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. References to specific U.S. GAAP within this report cite topics within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

 

All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Business Combinations

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, in the accounting for acquisitions. It requires the Company to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, at their acquisition date fair values. 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. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. In addition, deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, uncertain tax positions and tax related valuation allowances assumed in connection with a business combination are initially estimated as of the acquisition date. The Company reevaluates these items quarterly based upon facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and any adjustments to its preliminary estimates are recorded to goodwill if identified within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values 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 fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.

 

All financial assets and liabilities are recognized or disclosed at fair value using a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

·                  Level 1:                            quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

·                  Level 2:                            inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or

 

·                  Level 3:                            unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, investment securities to fund jackpot liabilities, accounts payable, jackpot liabilities and long-term debt approximate their respective fair values. Cash equivalents and investment securities to fund jackpot liabilities have Level 1 inputs with values based on quoted market prices. Accounts and notes receivable and jackpot liabilities have Level 3 inputs and were valued using Discounted Cash Flows (“DCF”) incorporating expected future payment timing and current borrowing rates. Long-term debt has Level 2 inputs and was valued using DCF incorporating expected future payment timing and current borrowing rates.

 

The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies and has international sales and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting the Company to foreign currency risk. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts, generally with maturities of twelve months or less, to hedge recognized foreign currency assets and liabilities to reduce the risk that earnings and cash flows will be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these forward contracts, which are not designated as accounting hedges, are reported in other income (expense) in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, and generally offset the gains and losses associated with the underlying foreign-currency-denominated balances, which are also reported in other income (expense). As of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, euro forward contracts for a total of $53.6 million and $33.0 million, respectively, or the equivalent of €39.0 and €25.3 million, were outstanding. In addition, as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, pound sterling forward contracts for a total of $5.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, or the equivalent of £3.0 million and £1.5 million, were outstanding. In addition, as of March 31, 2014, a Canadian dollar forward contract for a total of $6.8 million, or the equivalent of C$7.5 million, was outstanding.

 

The Company may use interest rate derivatives to manage the interest expense generated by variable rate debt and foreign currency derivatives to manage foreign exchange risk. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and the balances were as follows:

The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the derivative financial instruments above in which the counterparties have high credit ratings, were derived from pricing models, such as discounted cash flow techniques, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The Company’s discounted cash flow techniques use observable market inputs, such as LIBOR-based yield curves and foreign currency forward rates. See Note 7 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Long-Term Debt.

 

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity

 

The Company assesses, both at the inception of each designated hedge and on an on-going basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items. Such highly effective derivatives are granted hedge accounting treatment. The interest rate derivative instruments meet these requirements and are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

Accounts and notes receivable and allowances for doubtful accounts

 

Accounts and notes receivable are stated at face value less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company generally grants customers credit terms for periods of 30 to 120 days, but may also grant extended payment terms to some customers for periods generally up to three years, with interest generally at market rates.

 

The Company evaluates the credit quality of its accounts and notes receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of factors including, but not limited to, customer collection experience, economic conditions and the customer’s financial condition. In addition to specific account identification, which includes the review of any modifications of accounts and notes receivable, if applicable, the Company utilizes historic collection experience to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts. Receivables are written off only after the Company has exhausted all reasonable collection efforts.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first in, first out basis, or market. Cost elements included in work-in-process and finished goods include raw materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventories consist of the following:

Property, plant and equipment and leased gaming equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives or lease term, if less, using the straight line method as follows: buildings and improvements, five to forty years; furniture, fixtures and equipment, three to seven years; and leasehold improvements, the shorter of lease term or ten years. Leased gaming equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives ranging from one to five years. Depreciation and asset charges related to leased gaming equipment are recorded to cost of product lease, operation and royalty in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Significant replacements and improvements are capitalized while other maintenance and repairs are expensed. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

Revenue recognition

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is to record revenue when all of the following criteria have been satisfied:

 

·                  Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

 

·                  The price or fee to the customer is fixed or determinable;

 

·                  Collectability is reasonably assured; and

 

·                  Delivery has occurred.

 

Revenues are reported net of incentive rebates, discounts, sales taxes and all other items of a similar nature. For products sold under arrangements with extended payment terms the probability of collection is evaluated based on a review of the customer’s credit worthiness and a review of historic collection experience on contracts with extended payment terms. As a result of such review, the Company recognizes revenue on extended payment term arrangements when the Company has determined that collectability is reasonably assured and the fee is considered fixed and determinable.

 

Products placed with customers on a trial basis are recorded as revenue once the trial period has ended, the customer has accepted the games, and all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. The Company’s standard sales contracts do not contain right of return provisions and the Company has not experienced significant sales returns. Therefore, the Company has not recorded an allowance for sales returns. Amounts billed to customers prior to completing the earnings process are deferred until the revenue recognition criteria are satisfied.

 

Product Lease, Operation and Royalty Revenue.  Product lease, operation and royalty revenue is earned from the renting or leasing of tangible products and the licensing of intangible products. Product lease and operation revenue is derived from gaming operations, including the operation of linked progressive systems, the rental of EGMs, game content and the related systems placed with customers, and the lease of table game products, including automatic card shufflers, deck checkers and roulette chip sorters. Product royalty revenue is derived from gaming operations and table game products, including the licensing of proprietary table game content.  Product lease and operation revenue is earned and recognized based on a share of money wagered, a share of the net winnings, or on a fixed daily or monthly rate. The fee entitles the customer to full use of the gaming equipment and includes maintenance, licensing of the game content software and connection to a linked progressive system, where applicable. In certain markets, the Company also charges a daily system connection fee for the customer to connect to a central determination system and/or back-office system. The Company does not consider these arrangements to have multiple revenue-generating activities as the services offered are a comprehensive solution in exchange for a fee and all of the products and services are delivered simultaneously. Product royalty revenue from table game products, including the licensing of proprietary table game content, is earned based on a fixed monthly rate. Product lease, operation and royalty revenue is recognized under general revenue recognition guidance as the deliverables provide the customer with rights to use tangible gaming devices and software that is essential to the functionality of the gaming devices.

 

Gaming Equipment and Systems Revenue

 

Gaming Equipment Revenue.  Gaming Equipment revenue is generated from the sale of EGMs, including up-front licensing rights to game content, table game products, including the sale of lifetime licenses to the Company’s proprietary table games, and parts and other ancillary equipment. Arrangements may also include sales of game content conversion kits that enable customers to replace game content without purchasing a new EGM. Gaming equipment arrangements do not include maintenance and product support fees beyond a standard warranty period. The recognition of revenue from product sales occurs as title and risk of loss have passed to the customer and all other revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Revenue is recorded for the sale of lifetime licenses, under which the Company has no continuing obligation, on the effective date of the license.

 

As the combination of game content software and the tangible EGMs and table game products function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality, revenue from the sale of EGMs and table game products is recognized under general revenue recognition guidance. Game content conversion kits are considered software deliverables and are recognized in accordance with software revenue recognition guidance.

 

Casino-Management Systems Revenue.  Systems revenue arrangements generally include a combination of casino-management systems software licenses, systems-based hardware products, maintenance and product support fees and professional services. The primary function of casino-management systems software licensed by the Company is aiding customers in more effectively running their businesses with marketing, data management and analysis, accounting, player tracking and security features.

 

14



Table of Contents

 

Revenue for casino-management systems software and maintenance and product support fees is recognized under software revenue recognition guidance. Although the casino-management systems software and certain systems-based hardware products function together, the functionality of casino-management systems software is primarily derived from the software. The casino-management systems software is not essential to the functionality of the systems-based hardware products.

 

The Company licenses casino-management systems software on a perpetual basis or under time-based licenses. Revenue from perpetual license software is recognized at the inception of the license term provided all revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Revenue from maintenance and product support fees sold with perpetual licenses is recognized over the term of the support period. The Company’s time-based licenses are generally for twelve month terms and are bundled with software maintenance and product support fees. All revenue from such arrangements is recognized over the term of the license.

 

Systems-based hardware products include embedded software that is essential to the functionality of the hardware. Accordingly, revenue related to all systems-based hardware sales and related maintenance and product support fees are recognized under general revenue recognition guidance. Revenue from the sale of systems-based hardware is generally recognized upon delivery when title and risk of loss have passed to the customer and all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. However, in the case of arrangements involving a systems installation, revenue on the systems-based hardware is generally not recognized until the system has been installed and the customer has accepted the system. Hardware maintenance and product support fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the support period which is generally twelve months.

 

Software maintenance and product support provides customers with rights to unspecified software product upgrades, maintenance and patches released during the term of the support period. The Company’s software maintenance and product support arrangements are generally for twelve month periods. Software maintenance and product support is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the support period.

 

Multiple Element Arrangements.  The Company enters into revenue arrangements that may consist of multiple deliverables of its products and services. For example, customers may enter into arrangements with the Company for the implementation of casino-management systems, which will generally include a combination of casino-management systems software licenses, systems-based hardware products, maintenance and product support fees, and professional services. Certain gaming equipment arrangements may also include the sale of gaming devices and game content conversion kits.

 

Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are allocated to separate units of accounting if the deliverables meet both of the following criteria:

 

·                  The delivered items have value to the customer on a stand-alone basis. The items have value on a stand-alone basis if they are sold separately by any vendor or the customer could resell the delivered items on a stand-alone basis; and

 

·                  If the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered items, delivery or performance of the undelivered items is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company.

 

At the inception of a multiple element arrangement, fees under the arrangement are allocated to the non-software deliverables and to the software deliverables as a group based on their relative selling price. Software deliverables are further subject to separation and allocation based on software revenue recognition guidance as described in the following paragraph. When applying the relative selling price method, a hierarchy is used for estimating the selling price based first on vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), then third-party evidence (“TPE”) and finally management’s estimate of the selling price (“ESP”). Revenue for each unit of accounting is recognized when the relevant recognition criteria for each respective element has been met.

 

In allocating arrangement fees under the relative selling price hierarchy, the Company uses VSOE for all products that have been sold on a stand-alone basis. As TPE is generally not available, the Company uses ESP for products that are not sold on a stand-alone basis and for recently introduced products that are sold on a stand-alone basis but for which a history of stand-alone sales has not yet been developed. Following these guidelines, the Company uses either VSOE or ESP for EGMs, table game products, systems-based hardware products, maintenance and product support fees associated with perpetual licenses and professional services; and ESP for perpetual and time-based software licenses and maintenance and product support fees associated with time-based licenses.

 

The Company uses the residual method to recognize revenue allocated to software deliverables. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is allocated to the delivered element and is recognized as revenue. In arrangements in which the Company does not have VSOE of fair value of all undelivered software elements, revenue is deferred until delivery occurs or VSOE of fair value has been established for any remaining undelivered software elements. In the event the only undelivered software element is maintenance and product support for which VSOE of fair value does not exist, the revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance and product support period.

The establishment of VSOE requires judgment as to whether there is a sufficient quantity of items sold on a stand-alone basis and whether the prices demonstrate an appropriate level of concentration to conclude that VSOE exists. In determining ESP, management considers a variety of information including historic pricing and discounting practices, competitive market activity, internal costs, and the pricing and discounting practices of products sold in the same arrangements.

 

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

 

Effective September 30, 2012, new accounting guidance for testing indefinite-lived intangible assets permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The outcome of the assessment is used as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with ASC Topic 350. The Company has not yet utilized this method in its evaluation of indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment.

 

On July 1, 2013, the Company adopted new accounting guidance for disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities which requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, securities borrowings and lending transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position. This information is intended to enable users of the financial statements to understand the effect of these arrangements on the Company’s financial position. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

On July 1, 2013, the Company adopted new accounting guidance to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). Under the guidance, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of AOCI by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. The guidance did not change the requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, including debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings. The new guidance will be effective prospectively for the Company in its fiscal year 2015 first quarter and is not expected to have a significant impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

In March 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance requiring the release of cumulative translation adjustment into net income when an entity either sells a part or all of its investment in or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity. The new guidance will be effective prospectively for the Company in its fiscal year 2015 first quarter and is not expected to have a significant impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that changes the threshold for reporting discontinued operations and adds new disclosures. The new guidance defines a discontinued operation as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale and will be effective for the Company in its fiscal year 2015 first quarter. The guidance may impact the Company’s reporting and disclosures if it disposes of a component after the effective date.

 

The Company believes there is no additional new accounting guidance adopted but not yet effective that is relevant to the readers of our financial statements. However, there are numerous new proposals under development which, if and when enacted, may have a significant impact on its financial reporting.

2.             BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

On November 25, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding common stock of SHFL entertainment, Inc. (“SHFL”) for total purchase consideration of $1.38 billion (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was funded primarily from proceeds of a new Term Loan B and borrowings from our existing Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 7 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Long-Term Debt). The Acquisition has provided the Company with a more diversified suite of products and is anticipated to increase its product development talent. Additionally, the Acquisition is expected to achieve synergies, including, but not limited to, cost savings from economies of scale, more efficient supply chain and distribution channels and the acceleration of revenue through greater access to international markets.

 

The total purchase consideration for SHFL was as follows:

 

 

 

(in 000s)

 

Total purchase price for SHFL common stock (56,626 shares at $23.25 per share)

 

$

1,316,554

46,099

 

Repayments of SHFL debt and other obligations

 

19,752

 

Total purchase consideration

 

$

1,382,405

 

 

The Acquisition 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 excess of the purchase price over those fair values was recorded as goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce of SHFL.

 

The Company recognized Acquisition-related costs of $6.2 million and $33.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, respectively. These costs were recorded as selling, general and administrative in the statement of operations. The Company also incurred debt issuance costs of $22.5 million, which were recorded in other long-term assets as well as $10.5 million of original issue discount fees recorded as a discount to long-term debt.

 

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 certain tangible and intangible assets and finalizing the accounting for income taxes. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company continued to refine the preliminary purchase price allocation and presentation of the related assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As a result, immaterial adjustments were made to the preliminary purchase price allocation which impacted goodwill, current assets, and deferred tax balances as well as the classification of certain elements of property, plant and equipment.

(1)         Includes $46 million of in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets that are not yet subject to amortization until they reach commercial feasibility.

 

EGMs and table game products content and IPR&D assets were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method, a form of the income approach (Level 3). This method calculates the value based on the risk-adjusted present value of the cash flows specific to the content and products, allowing for a reasonable return.

 

Trademark, core technology for the EGM and Electronic Table System (“ETS”) operating systems, and table game products were valued using the relief-from-royalty method, a form of the income approach (Level 3). The relief-from-royalty method estimates the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset that would otherwise be payable as royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. The royalty rate is based on an analysis of empirical, market-derived royalty rate for similar assets.

 

The customer relationships were valued using a with-or-without method, a form of the income approach (Level 3). In this method, fair value is measured by the lost profits associated with the period of time necessary to reacquire the customers. The method involves a comparison of the cash flows assuming as if the customer relationships were in place versus as if the customer relationships were to be created “from scratch”.

4.             ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

 

The Company has one portfolio segment, the gaming industry customer, and four classes of receivables including its trade receivables with a contract term less than one year, trade receivables with a contract term greater than one year, sales-type leasing arrangements, and notes receivable, which are related to development financing loans. Trade receivables with contract terms greater than one year relate to the sale of gaming equipment and systems transactions, and are generally collateralized by the related equipment sold, although the value of such equipment, if repossessed, may be less than the receivable balance outstanding. Sales-type leasing arrangements relate to gaming equipment and include options to purchase the gaming equipment at the end of the lease term at established prices. Customers with sales-type leasing arrangements typically have a long-standing credit history with the Company.

 

On November 25, 2013, the Company completed the Acquisition (see Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, Business Combination). As of March 31, 2014, there were $58.2 million in net current receivables and $8.4 million in net long-term accounts receivable related to SHFL.

 

The Company’s accounts and notes receivable were as follows:
