Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

March 31, 2011

Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business:

On January 29, 2008, Lightning Gaming, Inc. (formerly known as Red Pearl Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) completed a merger (the "Merger") with Lightning Poker, Inc. (“Lightning Poker”), as a result of which Lightning Poker became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Lightning Poker was formed to manufacture and market gaming products, including a fully automated, proprietary electronic poker table (the “System”), to commercial and tribal casinos, card clubs, other gaming and lottery venues, bars and restaurants and the home market. The System is designed to improve economics for casino operators while improving overall player experience.

In 2009 the Company commenced the design, manufacture, marketing, sale and operation of video and reel-spinning gaming machines to customers in various legalized gaming jurisdictions. The current products are (i) a Video SCRABBLE bonus slot machine (ii) a multi-rack Scrabble slot machine and (iii) spinning reel SCRABBLE and POPEYE slot machines.

The Company routinely enters into license agreements for the use of intellectual properties and technologies in its products. These agreements generally provide for royalty advances and license fee payments when the agreements are signed and minimum commitments which are cancelable in certain circumstances.

Basis of Presentation:

The unaudited interim financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on April 7, 2011 (“Form 10-K”). The accompanying interim financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Article 8.03 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, accordingly, do not include all the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles with respect to annual financial statements. The interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Company’s accounting practices described in the Form 10-K but have not been audited. In management’s opinion, the financial statements include all adjustments, which consist only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The balance sheet data as of December 31, 2010 were derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

There were no material changes during the most recent fiscal quarter in the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Form 10-K.

The allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $229,162.

Lightning Gaming, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Basis of Presentation (Continued)

Company’s inception and expect these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. The generation of cash flow sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs in the future will depend on the Company’s ability to obtain the regulatory approvals required to distribute the System and gaming machines and successfully market our products to more casinos and card clubs. Based on the Company’s cash flow projections and anticipated revenues, the Company believes it will require additional capital or financing to support its operations during 2011. The Company has received assurance from a major stockholder to support its operations for 2011 should such support become necessary.

In addition the Company’s ability to sell or lease its products on a large scale may require additional financing for working capital. There is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain such financing, if at all, on reasonable terms. If the Company needs additional funding and is unable to obtain it, the Company’s financial condition would be adversely affected. In that event, the Company would have to postpone or discontinue planned operations and projects. The Company’s continuance as a going concern is dependent upon these factors, among others. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The guidance is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The guidance addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. The guidance reduces the types of transactions that fall within the current scope of software revenue recognition guidance. Existing software revenue recognition guidance requires that its provisions be applied to an entire arrangement when the sale of any products or services containing or utilizing software when the software is considered more than incidental to the product or service. As a result of the amendments included in the guidance, many tangible products and services that rely on software will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance rather than under the software revenue recognition guidance. Under this new guidance, the following components would be excluded from the scope of software

Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

revenue recognition guidance: the tangible element of the product, software products bundled with tangible products where the software components and non-software components function together to deliver the product's essential functionality, and undelivered components that relate to software that is essential to the tangible product's functionality. The guidance also addresses how to allocate transaction consideration when an arrangement contains both deliverables within the scope of software guidance (software deliverables) and deliverables not within the scope of that guidance (non-software deliverables). This guidance is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company elected to adopt the provisions prospectively to new or materially modified arrangements beginning on the effective date. The Company elected the same transition method for this guidance as that chosen for revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the FASB guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures which adds disclosure requirements about transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about activity relating to Level 3 measurements and clarifies existing disclosure requirements related to the level of disaggregation and input and valuation techniques. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2010 a lender exchanged its $1,000,000 note due in 2010 plus accrued interest of $206,273 for 500,000 shares of Series A Nonvoting Capital Stock.

Also in February 2010 the Company entered into a $2,000,000 three-year loan agreement with interest at 8% per annum. At the discretion of the lenders, all principal and interest outstanding on the loan may be converted into shares of the Company's capital stock issued in the Company's next equity financing at the same price and upon the same terms as the shares issued in the next equity financing. In connection with the loan, the Company issued warrants to purchase $2,000,000 worth of shares of the Company's capital stock at an exercise price equal to $2.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable through February 22, 2015.

In accordance with various loans obtained by the Company, as of March 31, 2011 the lenders hold warrants to purchase up to 7,009,145 shares of the Company’s common stock until various expiration dates between July 2011 and February 2015 at prices ranging between $1.10 and $2.00 per share. The purchase prices are subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the respective warrant agreements. The Company accounts for the value of these warrants in the same manner used for stock-based compensation. Expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2011and March 31, 2010 related to these warrants was $16,105, and $57,251, respectively,

and was included in interest expense.

Certain notes in the amount of $7,500,000 and related accrued interest of $1,549,123 at March 31, 2011 are convertible, at the discretion of the lender into shares of the Company’s common stock on the same terms and conditions of the next equity financing.

In April 2011 the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from The Co-Investment Fund II, L.P. (“CI II”) and the Company issued to the lender a warrant to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share. The loan was for a three-year term, with interest at 8% per annum. The aggregate fair market value of the warrant at the time it was issued was $3,290. Lightning Poker has guaranteed the Company's obligations under the loan agreement and pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral for those obligations.

Note 6. Commitments

In 2008 the Company entered into a technology agreement with Intuicode for a nonexclusive perpetual license to use its gaming platform/ operating system. The agreement provides for royalty fees on a per-unit basis and is for a term of two years. The agreement has been amended to provide for a daily fee for leased slot machines and also extended the term of the agreement to ten years. The agreement may be cancelled under certain conditions.

In March 2009 the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Hasbro, Inc. to use the Scrabble brand in gaming devices distributed in the United States and Canada. The initial term of the agreement is five years with the Company’s right to extend the agreement for two additional five- year terms if certain performance standards are met. The agreement calls for minimum annual payments and may be cancelled under certain conditions.

In April 2009 the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Mattel, Inc. to use the Scrabble brand in gaming devices distributed worldwide excluding the United States and Canada.

In October 2009 the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Hearst Holdings, Inc. and King Features Syndicate Division to use the brand POPEYE and related family of characters in gaming devices distributed worldwide excluding the United Kingdom and Japan. The initial term of the agreement was for one year with the Company’s right to extend the agreement for eight additional one- year terms upon payment of minimum royalties. The Company paid the minimum royalties and extended the term of the agreement to 2012.

In March 2010 the Company entered into a license agreement with Speed Racer Enterprises, Inc. to use the Speed Racer brand and related family of characters in gaming devices distributed worldwide excluding Japan.

At March 31, 2011, the Company had total license fee commitments and advances made and potential future royalty and license fee payments as follows:

	Minimum Commitments
Total royalty and license fee commitments	$	800,000
AdvAdvances made		(250,000	)

The Company has entered into non-exclusive licensing agreements with two vendors whereby the Company is required to pay the vendors for maintenance and software licenses used in conjunction with the Company’s products.

Note 7. Stockholders’ Deficit

Stockholders’ deficit includes the following transactions:

Stock Options: In 2007 the Company adopted the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”) to enable the Company to offer key employees, consultants and directors equity interests in the Company, thereby helping to attract, retain and motivate such persons to exercise their best efforts on behalf of the Company. Stock options under the Stock Plan are granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors (acting as the Company’s Compensation Committee). The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable under the Stock Plan is 2,500,000. The exercise price of each option will be determined by the Board of Directors at the time the option is granted, but in no event will be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock at the time of grant. Options granted will not be exercisable after 10 years from the grant date.

Lightning Gaming, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements (Continued)

Note 7. Stockholders’ Deficit (Continued)

Stock Options (Continued)

Options generally vest at 20% per year starting from the grant date and are fully vested after five years. The options can be exercised in partial or full amounts upon a change in control and at such other times as specified in the award agreements.

Options granted under the Stock Plan are accounted for under the FASB guidance for share-based payments. Accordingly, compensation costs recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 were $24,998 and, $30,908, respectively.

A summary of option transactions in 2011 is as follows:

	Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at December 31, 2010		2,228,000		$	1.36
Options granted		-		$	-
Options exercised		-		$	-
Options cancelled		(25,000	)	$	2.00
Options outstanding at March 31, 2011		2,203,000		$	1.35
Options available for grant under the Stock Plan at March 31, 2011		294,000

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based upon publicly traded companies with characteristics similar to those of the Company. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the statement of operations based on awards ultimately expected to vest and may be reduced for estimated forfeitures.

The following table summarizes information with respect to stock options outstanding at March 31, 2011:

As of March 31, 2011, there was approximately $144,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Stock Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years.

Warrants: In accordance with the loans obtained by the Company (Note 5), the lenders hold warrants to purchase 8,009,145 shares of the Company’s common stock at prices ranging between $1.10 and $2.00 per share. Warrants to purchase up to 7,009,145 shares are exercisable until various expiration dates between July 2011 and February 2015. A Warrant to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares which was issued in April 2011, is exercisable through April 2016. The purchase prices are subject to adjustment from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the respective warrant agreements. The Company accounts for the value of these warrants in the same manner used for stock-based compensation.

The following table is a summary of the Company’s warrant activity for the three months ended March 31, 2011:

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of the FASB guidance on accounting for income taxes. The guidance provides for the recognition and measurement of deferred income tax benefits and liabilities based on the likelihood of their realization in future years. A valuation allowance must be established to reduce deferred income tax benefits if it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred benefits will not be realized.

As of March 31, 2011 Company has available, for federal and state income tax purposes, net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $13,337,000, which expire at various times through 2030. The utilization of the NOL carryforwards is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate sufficient taxable income during the carryforward periods. The NOL carryforwards are also subject to certain limitations on their utilization should changes in Company ownership occur. The Company has not recognized any NOL carryforward benefits in the financial statements.

Note 9. Related Party Transactions

During 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010 the Company borrowed $14,500,000 under various loan agreements with CI II, SIG Strategic Investments, LLP (“SIG”) and Stewart J. Greenebaum, LLC (“Greenebaum”). CI II and Greenebaum each beneficially owned more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2011. CI II is managed by Cross Atlantic Capital Partners Inc. (“Cross Atlantic”) and Donald Caldwell, a director of the Company, is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cross Atlantic and Frederick Tecce, also a director of the Company, is a managing director and of counsel of Cross Atlantic. In connection with those loans, the Company issued warrants to CI II, SIG and Greenebaum to purchase a total of 7,901,385 shares of common stock. The aggregate fair market value of the warrants at the respective times that the Company issued them was $953,030. In addition, principal and interest on certain notes in the amount of $9,049,123 at March 31, 2011 are convertible into shares of common stock on the same terms and conditions of the next equity offering. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, interest on the above loans amounted to $270,000, and $246,200, respectively . During 2011 and 2010, we made no principal payments on the loans.

Note 9. Related Party Transactions (Continued)

In February 2010 the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from CI II and $1,000,000 from Greenebaum (included in the $14,500,000 of loans reported above) and the Company issued to each lender a warrant to purchase up to 500,000 shares of common stock at $2 per share. The loans were for a three-year term, with interest at 8% per annum. The aggregate fair market value of the warrants at the time the Company issued them was $99,980.

In February 2010, Greenebaum and the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement under which a $1,000,000 note that Lightning Poker issued to Greenebaum in 2007 was converted into 500,000 shares of the Company's Series A Nonvoting Capital Stock. All amounts payable under that note were canceled. Our Nonvoting Stock participates with, and is identical to, the Company's common stock except for the lack of voting rights.

CI II holds notes in the aggregate principal amount of $10,500,000 as of March 31, 2011, with a weighted average interest rate of 8% per annum. As of March 31, 2011, the aggregate accrued but unpaid interest on all of the notes held by CI II was $2,557,927.

Included in the notes held by CI II and accrued interest thereon are notes in the principal amount of $5,500,000 and accrued interest of $1,001,178, which are convertible into shares of our common stock on the same terms and conditions of the next equity offering. Also, the notes held by Greenebaum in the principal amount of $2,000,000 and accrued interest of $227,945 are convertible into shares of our common stock on the same terms and conditions of the next equity offering.

In April 2011 the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from CI II and issued to CI II a warrant to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share. The loan was for a three-year term, with interest at 8% per annum. The aggregate fair market value of the warrant at the time it was issued was $3,290.

As a result of transfers in 2009 and 2010 among CI II, SIG and Greenebaum of common stock warrants that were issued in 2007 and 2008, the surrrender of warrants by SIG, and the issuance of warrants to CI II in April 2011, as of May 4, 2011 the common stock warrants held by CI II and Greenebaum are as follows:

Holder	Number of Underlying Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Shares

CI II	6,401,385	$1.68
Greenebaum	1,500,000	$2.00

We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of those safe-harbor provisions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. You should read this report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we currently expect.

Factors that might cause our actual results to differ from our expectations, might cause us to modify our plans or objectives, or might affect our ability to meet our expectations include, but are not limited to: the severe economic downturn that the gaming industry is suffering; the dramatic decline in national and global economic conditions; the tightening of credit in financial markets generally and the particularly severe tightening of them for the gaming industry, which may adversely affect our ability to raise funds through debt or equity financing or to refinance our long- term debt that will become due in 2012, and may also adversely affect the ability of our customers to purchase our product and services; interest rates; our ability to obtain additional gaming licenses; fuel price increases; legislative/regulatory changes; competition; changes in generally accepted accounting principles; and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The information contained in this section has been derived from our financial statements and should be read together with the financial statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this report.

Overview

The Company was formed to develop and market its System, which is an electronic poker table that provides a fully automated table gaming experience without a dealer in casinos and card rooms in regulated jurisdictions worldwide. The System is designed to increase revenue and security while helping to reduce the labor costs associated with poker play. The System enables up to ten players to make their wagers and game decisions via individual touch- screen betting stations. It utilizes a software application written in Java, which runs on a Linux-based multi-game table platform. The System achieves the goal of increasing revenue by allowing a larger number of hands to be played per hour, increasing the “rake” or per- hand fee collected by the operator commensurately. The elimination of a live dealer also reduces labor costs and permits more tables to be operational in jurisdictions where skilled poker dealers are in short supply. The System has an added benefit of eliminating mistakes by the dealer or the player, and it eliminates the need to tip the dealer. The System also provides an opportunity to present information about the game to the players via individual player screens and via the common center monitor.

In 2008 the Company developed a newer version of the System, which eliminated the need for a separate, stand-alone cashing station. The newer version allows for cashing out at the System.

In the quarter ended September 30, 2009 the Company commenced the design, manufacture, marketing, sale and operation of video and reel-spinning slot machines to customers in various gaming jurisdictions. Our video slot machines contain games where the casino patron wagers on multiple pay lines. The branded games combine advanced graphics, digital music and sound effects and secondary bonus games. The current products are (i) Video Scrabble bonus slot machines, (ii) multi-rack slot machines and (iii) spinning reel slot machines. The Company seeks to develop games and gaming machines that offer high entertainment value to casino patrons and generate greater revenues for casinos and other gaming machine operators than the games and gaming machines offered by our competitors. The Company's gaming products feature advanced graphics and engaging games, and the games incorporate secondary bonus rounds. Currently the Company's games are based on the licensed, well-recognized brands SCRABBLE, the cartoon characters POPEYE and his related family of characters and Speed Racer. Substantially all of the gaming machines utilize technologies and intellectual property licensed from third parties.

In 2009 the Company began to expand the scope of its product offerings and embarked on an initiative to market its video and reel-spinning slot machines to additional Native American jurisdictions as well as the commercial casino marketplace and cruise lines. The Company currently has 43 such machines placed in 11 casinos in seven jurisdictions and cruise ships. The Company is working to secure licensing to place those slot machines and the System in a number of new jurisdictions across North America. The licensing process includes specific jurisdictional approvals from the appropriate testing laboratory and from the appropriate regulatory agency.

The Company has filed and will continue to file applications for licensure in various gaming jurisdictions. The Company evaluates economic impact of each jurisdiction in determining the priority of filing in a jurisdiction.

The Company believes that the use of brand name intellectual property will contribute to the appeal and success of its gaming machines and that its future ability to license, acquire or develop new brand names is important to its success.

The Company plans to increase its sales of gaming products in various legal gaming jurisdictions worldwide. The manufacture and distribution of gaming equipment and related software are subject to regulation and approval by various city, county, state, provincial, federal, tribal and foreign agencies. The Company will continue to devote resources to obtain all necessary approvals to manufacture and distribute its gaming products in various legal gaming jurisdictions worldwide.

The Company has a history of losses since its inception. The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $1,069,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

( All amounts rounded to the nearest $1,000)

Revenues

The Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $169,000 compared to $397,000 for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in revenues was principally due to the absence of sales of Systems and parts, and the decline in the installed base of Systems, partly offset by revenues of $46,000 from the placement of our slot machines .

Sales of gaming products and parts decreased by $205,000 (88%) to $29,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $234,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 principally due to the placement of additional Systems at existing international customers in 2010.

License and service fees decreased by $24,000 (15%) to $139,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $163,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to the decline in placement of Systems at new and existing casino customers, partly offset by revenues of $46,000 from the placement of our slot machines in casinos.

Cost of Products Sold

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, cost of products sold decreased $44,000 (68%) to $21,000 as compared to $65,000 for the three months ended Mach 31, 2010 due to the absence of System placements. Gross margins were 28% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with 72% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was principally due to the sale of replacement parts which experience lower margins as compared to sales of Systems.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased by $42,000 to $134,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $92,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This increase was primarily the result of lower overhead cost absorption in the current period, as System production declined in 2011.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased by $44,000 to $216,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $260,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Research and development expenses are primarily related to the development of the System and gaming equipment. Research and development expenses were reduced as a result of the decline in System demand.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $94,000 to $439,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $533,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to the reduction in System marketing staff, lower facility costs, regulatory fees and compliance costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $ 40,000 to $148,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $188,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily related to the absence of depreciation related to the assets impaired in 2010.

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense decreased by $25,000 to $290,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $315,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This change was the result of lower warrant expense in the current period and lower interest earned due to lower investable cash balances during the current period, partly offset by interest expense associated with the additional funding in 2010.

Change in Value of Warrants

The change in fair value of our warrants of $9,658 was mainly due to the declines in the remaining life of the warrants and the estimated fair market value of our common stock.

Other Expense

The Company receives payment in Euros for certain license fees and sales revenues from certain international customers. Other expense represents the change in the Euro/US dollar foreign exchange rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have incurred net losses since inception. We have historically funded our operating costs, research and development activities, working capital investments and capital expenditures associated with our growth strategy with proceeds from the issuances of our stock and loans. These transactions are described in more detail following the discussion of cash flows below:

Discussion of Statement of Cash Flows

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2011			2010			Change
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(437,633	)	$	(586,761	)	$	149,128
Net cash used in investing activities		(445,710	)		(99,647	)		(348,063	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		-			1,935,874			(1,935,874	)

Net increase (decrease ) in cash		(883,343)			1,249,466			(2,132,809 )

Cash, beginning of year		1,335,379			457,855

Cash, end of period	$	452,036		$	1,707,321

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash used in operating activities decreased $.1million (25%) to $.4 million as compared to $.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in operating activities was primarily due to the decrease in working capital spending.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $.3 million to $.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Cash used in investing activities is primarily the function of the net investment in property, plant and equipment, principally slot machines used in our operations, and software and brand licenses.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. During 2010 cash provided from financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from issuance of notes ($2 million), partly offset by the payment on the capital lease. We did not require external funding during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as cash on hand was sufficient to meet our cash requirements during the current quarter.

In December 2010 the lenders agreed to extend to June 30, 2012 the maturity date of $11,500,000 of promissory notes that Lightning Poker issued in 2006, 2007 and 2008.

In February 2010 we borrowed $1,000,000 from The Co-Investment Fund II, L.P. (“CI II”) and $1,000,000 from Stewart J. Greenebaum, LLC(“Greenebaum”) and we issued to each lender a warrant to purchase up to 500,000 shares of common stock at $2 per share. The loans were for a three-year term, with interest at 8% per annum. At the discretion of the lenders, all principal and interest outstanding on the loans may be converted into shares of the Company's capital stock issued in the Company's next equity financing at the same price and upon the same terms as the shares issued in the next equity financing. The warrants are exercisable through 2013. The aggregate fair market value of the warrants at the time we issued them was $99,980.

Also in February 2010, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Greenebaum under which a $1,000,000 note that Lightning Poker issued to Greenebaum in 2007 was converted into 500,000 shares of our Series A Nonvoting Capital Stock. All amounts payable under that note, other than the principal amount that was converted to stock, were canceled.

In March 2008, the Company entered into a 60- month capital lease obligation to finance the purchase of a recreational vehicle. Annual payments, including interest, under the capital lease were$22,152. The capital lease was repaid in 2010.

In April 2011 the Company borrowed $1,000,000 from CI II and issued to CI II a warrant to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $2 per share. The loan was for a three-year term, with interest at 8% per annum. At the discretion of the lender, all principal and interest outstanding on the loans may be converted into shares of the Company's capital stock issued in the Company's next equity financing at the same price and upon the same terms as the shares issued in the next equity financing. The warrants are exercisable through 2016. The aggregate fair market value of the warrants at the time we issued them was $3,290.

Operations and Liquidity Management.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, we incurred a net loss of $1,069,355 and used $437,633 of cash in operating activities. At March 31, 2011, our cash balance was $.5 million. The generation of cash flow sufficient to meet our cash needs in the future will depend on our ability to obtain the regulatory approvals required to distribute our products and successfully market them to casinos and card clubs.

Our current cash requirements are approximately $150,000 to $260,000 per month, principally for salaries, professional services, licenses, marketing, office expenses and the purchase of the hardware components for our products.

Based on our cash flow projections and anticipated revenues, we believe we will require additional capital or financing to support our operations during our 2011 fiscal year. We have received assurance from a major stockholder to support its operations for 2011 should such support become necessary.

In addition, our ability to sell or lease our products on a large scale may require additional financing for working capital. There is no assurance that such additional financing would be available to us, if at all, on reasonable terms, particularly for the reasons mentioned above in the Forward-Looking Statements section of this Item 2. Our inability to obtain such financing on terms that allow us to lease our products profitably would hamper our ability to distribute our products on a large scale.

Contractual Obligations

The table below sets forth our known contractual obligations as of March 31, 2011:

	Total		Less than 1 year		1 - 3 years		3 - 5 years		More than 5 years

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2011, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes realization of all assets and settlement or payment of all liabilities in the ordinary course of business. We have limited capital resources, net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since the Company’s inception and expect these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. The generation of cash flow sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs in the future will depend on the Company’s ability to obtain the regulatory approvals required to distribute its products and successfully market them to more casinos and card clubs. Based on the Company’s cash flow projections and anticipated revenues, the Company believes it will require additional capital or financing to support its operations during 2011.

The Company has received assurance from a major stockholder to support its operations for 2011 should such support become necessary.

In addition, the Company’s ability to sell or lease its products on a large scale may require additional financing for working capital. There is no assurance that the Company would be able to obtain such financing, if at all, on reasonable terms. If the Company needs additional funding and is unable to obtain it, the Company’s financial condition would be adversely affected. In that event, the Company would have to postpone or discontinue planned operations and projects. The Company’s continuance as a going concern is dependent upon these factors, among others. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As of March 31, 2011, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of March 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
