EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

      On February 3, 2004, Gaming & Entertainment Group, Inc., f/k/a NorStar Group, Inc., filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Original Form 8-K") to report a Change in Control of Registrant and Acquisition or Disposition of Assets and report its Financial Statements and Pro Forma Financial Information.  Due to a technical error, the entire filing was not disseminated to the SEC. 

 

      This filing is intended to replace the partial filing and contains the additional information including the Independent Auditor's Report.  This report continues to be presented as of the date of the original filing, and the company has not updated the disclosure in this report to a later date.

 

 

Items 1 and 2. Change in Control of Registrant and Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

            On January 16, 2004, NorStar Group, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Registrant”), acquired Gaming & Entertainment Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“G&EG”) in accordance with the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization among the Registrant, G&EG and the stockholders of G&EG (the "Acquisition Agreement").  The acquisition was consummated by the issuance of 14,600,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock to the stockholders of G&EG in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of G&EG.  Prior to the acquisition, the Registrant effected a reverse split of its outstanding common stock.  Immediately after the acquisition, there were 16,000,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock issued and outstanding.

 

The Registrant has changed its legal name to Gaming & Entertainment Group, Inc.  Gaming & Entertainment Group, Inc. was formerly known as GET USA, Inc., with the name change occurring in June 2003. Gaming & Entertainment Group, Inc. will be effecting a mandatory stock certificate exchange with respect to all pre-reverse split common stock certificates of NorStar Group, Inc.

 

            Gaming & Entertainment Group, Inc. is a leading edge supplier of server-based gaming systems and networked interactive electronic bingo games for the Native American gaming market in the U.S. and the Canadian gaming market, as well as a distributor of multi-player station gaming devices in such markets. G&EG designs and develops gaming systems, software, game content and networks to offer a comprehensive gaming system.  In Europe, G&EG supplies its server-based gaming system and game content library to the Amusement With Prize (AWP) gaming market and to independent betting shops.  In addition, G&EG develops and licenses its comprehensive government accredited online gaming system to major land-based casino operators for utilization outside the United States.  Prior to its acquisition by the Registrant, G&EG was a closely held corporation.

 

            The Registrant was not actively engaged in business prior to the acquisition.  Upon consummation of the acquisition (a) all of the officers of the Registrant resigned and all of the directors of the Registrant, other than Jay Sanet, resigned, and (b) Gregory L. Hrncir was elected as a director and appointed as President of the Registrant, and Tibor N. Vertes was elected as a director and appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant.

 

            The following table sets forth certain information as of January 16, 2004 with respect to shares of the Registrant's common stock owned by (a) each director and executive officer of the Registrant and (b) each person known to the Registrant to own beneficially more than 5% of the Registrant's Common Stock (the only class of stock outstanding):

Independent Auditor's Report

 

 

To the Stockholders of GET USA, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GET USA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related consolidated and combined statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000.  These consolidated and combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and combined financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated and combined financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated and combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GET USA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule on page 12 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.  Such information has been subjected to the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

GET USA, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Company Activities:

 

GET USA Inc. ("GET USA") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 5, 2000. GET USA, through its wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries Gaming and Entertainment Technology Pty Ltd ("GET AU"), an Australian corporation, and GET Holdings, Ltd., a Malta corporation ("GET Holdings"), develop state-of-the-art Internet gaming systems for utilization in regulated jurisdictions around the world.  GET USA and its subsidiaries have developed comprehensive networked entertainment   in   the Internet and land-based gaming environment.

 

Principles of Consolidation:

 

On December 28, 2001, GET USA acquired 95% of the outstanding shares of GET AU and GET Holdings. On January 11, 2002 GET USA acquired the remaining 5% of the outstanding shares of GET AU and GET Holdings.   The consolidated and combined financial statements include the accounts of GET USA and its wholly owned subsidiaries, GET AU and GET Holdings hereinafter referred to as ("the Companies"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

The Companies consider all financial instruments that are highly liquid and have original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents and for purposes of cash flow presentation this includes short-term investments.

 

Accounts Receivable:

 

The Companies extend credit to customers in the normal course of business and perform ongoing credit evaluations of customers, maintaining allowances for potential credit losses which, when realized, have been within management's expectations.

 

Property and Equipment:

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the asset, which vary from 3 to 5 years. Costs of major improvements are capitalized; costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition:

 

Revenue is recorded on the accrual basis at the time when the Companies have the contractual right to bill.

 

6

 

Advertising Costs:

 

The Companies policies are to expense advertising costs as incurred. No future benefit costs have been capitalized. Advertising costs were $35,609, $178,139 and $169,615 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

 

Provision for Income Taxes:

 

The Companies have produced no operating income in the United States of America. To date, the primary activities of the Companies relate to foreign operations. All related tax liabilities have been included in the consolidated and combined financial statements. Based on the overall consolidated and combined operations, no significant book to tax differences was noted that might result in any material deferred tax calculation. As such, no provision for deferred taxes have been included in the financial statements for any year presented.

 

Concentration of Risk:

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Companies to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Companies deposit cash in two financial institutions. At times, such amounts may be in excess of insurance coverage. Sales to one of the Companies largest customers were approximately 31% of revenues in 2002. Accounts receivable for that customer at December 31, 2002 were $280,000.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions:

 

The functional currencies of the foreign subsidiaries are their respective local currencies. Accordingly, gains and losses from the translation of the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in operations.

 

Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates based on management's knowledge and experience. Due to their prospective nature, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Software Development Costs:

 

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed," initial costs are charged to operations as research prior to the development of a detailed program design or a working model. Costs incurred subsequent to the product release and research development performed under contract are charged to operations.

 

7

 

Issuance of Stock:

 

Stock of the Companies is deemed to be issued once value is received for the stock; the stock subscription agreement has been signed by the purchaser and signed as accepted by the Companies. Any value received prior to the acceptance of the agreement is considered a liability of the Companies.

 

NOTE 2 - Note Receivable:

 

On December 18, 2001, GET USA entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement with Innovative Gaming Corporation of America, a Nevada corporation ("IGCA"). This loan agreement is for six months at an annual rate of 10%. GET USA has the irrevocable right to convert all or any portion of the principal balance into shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2001, GET USA had advanced $158,000 against this loan agreement. In 2002, an additional $216,970 was loaned as part of this agreement. At December 31, 2002 the outstanding receivable is $374,970.     As described in Note 7 a settlement agreement was signed by both parties.

 

NOTE 3 - Related Party Transactions:

 

The subsidiary, GET AU received assets totaling $44,792 in 2000 at the start up of operations from a company commonly owned who dissolved at the start up of GET AU.

 

In August 2000, Entertainment Media Ventures, LLC, a California limited liability company ("EMV"), purchased a 5% equity interest in GET AU and GET Holdings for $1,000,000. The equity securities were not issued until 2001. As such, the proceeds received were reported at December 31, 2000 as a deposit.   As detailed in Note 6, EMV transferred its equity ownership in GET AU and GET Holdings for shares of common stock in GET USA Inc.

 

Related party payables of $689,470 as of December 31, 2001, have been accrued for consulting services provided by a stockholder to the Companies. Related party payables in the amount of $339,000 were converted into equity at December 31, 2002 as described in Note 6.

 

Short-term loans outstanding from certain stockholders were $16,523 as of December 31, 2001. The loans were converted to equity at December 31, 2002 as described in Note 6.

 

8

 

NOTE 4 - Foreign Translation Adjustment:

 

As discussed in Note 1, the two subsidiaries have previously and/or currently conduct business in foreign countries. GET AU currently undertakes all research and development for GET USA in Sydney, Australia, while GET Holdings is scheduled to be legally dissolved in 2003 and currently has no business operations. Both companies use their local currency as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The translation adjustment resulting from this process is reflected in the balance sheet as a direct increase to stockholders' equity entitled "accumulated    other comprehensive income." For the years ended December 31, 2002, and 2001, the foreign currency translation gain amounted to $77,072 and $40,049, respectively.

On   September   6, 2002, GET USA entered into a consulting agreement for merchant banking services.  The agreement provides that 500,000 shares of common stock of GET USA will be issued to the consultant in consideration for the services provided.   The share price on that date was valued at $0.15 per share. On September 6, 2002, 100,000 shares of common stock were issued in accordance with the terms of the consulting agreement; another 200,000 shares were issued on December 6, 2002 and another 200,000 shares were issued on March 6, 2003.

 

GET USA issued a private placement memorandum (the "Memorandum") in October 2002. The Memorandum relates to the offer (the "Offering") by GET USA of up to 200 units ("Units") in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000, exclusive of GET USA's ten percent (10%) over-allotment ("the Over-Allotment").   Each unit is priced at $7,500 and consists of 10,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share and a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $1.50 per share for a period of two years from the date of issuance, or the termination date of the Offering.   GET USA has sole discretion to exercise the Over-Allotment of up to 20 units, or $150,000. The Offering will terminate on the earlier of the sale of all units offered or September 1, 2003, subject to GET USA's right to extend the Offering.   A total of 115 units have been issued subsequent to December 31, 2002, totaling $860,000.

 

On   December   1, 2002, GET USA entered into a consulting agreement for strategic gaming advice, terminating on December 31, 2003. The terms of the agreement state that GET USA shall issue to the consultant an option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. In addition, in consideration for certain matters of the agreement being met, the consultant shall be entitled to receive an option to purchase 25 shares of common stock for each gaming machine placed in service as a result of introductions made by the consultant.   The options are to be issued the last day of each fiscal quarter in which gaming machine placements are made, at an exercise price equal to 120% of the average closing bid price for each trading day of such fiscal quarter. All options are exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance.

 

At December 31, 2002 all related party debt with a stockholder, was converted to shares of common stock and warrants.    Short-term loans from stockholders and related party payables in the amount of $19,281 and $339,000, respectively, were converted to equity under the same terms as the private placement memorandum dated October 2002. As a result of the conversion, 477,707 shares of common stock were issued to a related party.    In addition, GET USA issued a warrant, to purchase 477,707 shares of common stock exercisable at $1.50 per share for a period of two years from the date of issuance, or the termination date of the Offering.

NOTE 7 - Subsequent Events:

 

On February 15, 2002, the Companies entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "GET Merger Agreement") with IGCA. In August 2002, the GET Merger Agreement was   unilaterally   terminated   by   IGCA.  A settlement agreement, with an effective date of February 25, 2003, was signed by both parties.  The agreement provides consideration to the Companies for the outstanding bridge loan in the original principal amount of $374,970, and effectively ends the outstanding litigation in Clark County, Nevada, commenced by the Companies against IGCA. In addition, a license agreement has been entered into between IGCA and GET USA in full   consideration   for   the outstanding development work and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Companies during the period prior to the termination of the merger. Specifically, the Companies received a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable license to IGCA's software, hardware, hardware   tools, mathematics and pay   tables   relating   to   three   titles and a multi-player poker game.

 

On February 24, 2003, a member of management assigned a promissory note, previously issued to him by IGCA in conjunction with a loan in the original principal amount of $125,000, to the Companies in the amount of $133,657 in consideration for the issuance by the Companies of a non-interest bearing promissory note to the member of management in a like amount, maturing on April 24, 2003.

 

In June 2003, GET USA changed its name to Gaming and Entertainment Group, Inc.

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the “Agreement”) made and entered into as of September 18, 2003, is by and among NorStar Group, Inc., a Utah corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”), Gaming & Entertainment Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter referred to as “G&EG”) and each of the holders of shares of Common Stock of G&EG listed on Exhibit A to be attached hereto as hereinafter provided (individually, a “G&EG Stockholder”, and collectively, the “G&EG Stockholders”).

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the G&EG Stockholders own a total of not less than 90% of all of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of G⪚ and

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to acquire all but not less than 90% of the issued and outstanding common stock of G&EG and the G&EG Stockholders desire to exchange all of their shares of Common Stock of G&EG for shares of Common Stock of the Company in a transaction intended to qualify as a so-called “tax-free” reorganization under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and in reliance upon the representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.         EXCHANGE OF THE SHARES AND CONSIDERATION

 

1.1       Shares Being Exchanged.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the closing provided for in Section 2 hereof (the “Closing”), each of the G&EG Stockholders shall sell, assign, transfer and deliver to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock of G&EG set forth opposite each such G&EG Stockholder’s name on Exhibit A to be attached hereto prior to the Closing (the shares of Common Stock of G&EG sold, assigned and transferred to the Company hereunder are hereinafter referred to as the “G&EG Shares”).

 

1.2       Consideration.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in consideration of the sale, assignment, transfer and delivery of the G&EG Shares to the Company, at the Closing the Company shall issue, sell and deliver to the G&EG Stockholders a number of shares of Common Stock of the Company determined by multiplying fourteen million six hundred thousand (14,600,000) times a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of G&EG Shares sold and delivered to the Company at the Closing and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock of G&EG issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing (the shares of Common Stock of the Company issued, sold and delivered to the G&EG Stockholders hereunder are hereinafter referred to as the “Company Shares”).  The Company Shares shall be issued after the date on which the Company has effected the reverse split of its issued and outstanding Common Stock described in Section 8.4 hereof. Each G&EG Stockholder shall receive, in consideration for the G&EG Shares sold, assigned, transferred and delivered to the Company by such G&EG Stockholder, a pro rata portion of the Company Shares based on the number of G&EG Shares set forth opposite such G&EG Stockholder’s name on Exhibit A hereto.  In lieu of any fractional Company Share to which a G&EG Stockholder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall round such fractional share up to a whole Company Share.

11.       INDEMNIFICATION

 

11.1     Indemnification.  The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless G&EG and the G&EG Stockholders from and against any and all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively “Damages”) asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by G&EG or the G&EG Stockholders, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting from (i) any breach by the Company of this Agreement, or (ii) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement.

 

11.2     Limitation.  The liability of the Company pursuant to this Section 11 shall be limited to claims for damages made by G&EG or the G&EG Stockholders in writing within one (1) year after the date of this Agreement or, with respect to claims relative to tax liabilities for periods ending on or prior to the date of this Agreement, within the period of any applicable statute of limitations.

 

11.3     Claims.  In the event that G&EG or the G&EG Stockholders (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Party”) shall reasonably believe that it has a claim for Damages (“Claim”), it shall give prompt notice in accordance herewith to the Company (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the nature and extent of such Claim and the Damages incurred by it.  If the Damages are liquidated in amount, the notice shall so state, and such amount shall be deemed the amount of such Claim of the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party.  If the amount is not liquidated, the notice shall so state and, in such event, such Claim shall be deemed asserted against the Indemnifying Party but no payment or satisfaction shall be made on account thereof until the amount of such claim is liquidated.

 

If the Indemnifying Party shall not, within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice by the Indemnified Party, notify the Indemnified Party in accordance herewith that the Indemnifying Party disputes the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnity in respect of such Claim, then any such Claim shall be paid or satisfied as follows:  (i) if said Claim is liquidated, then payment of such Claim to the Indemnified Party shall be made by the Indemnifying Party at the end of such period; or (ii) if the amount of such Claim is unliquidated at the time notice is originally given to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall give a second notice to the Indemnifying Party when the liquidated amount of such Claim is known and, unless the Indemnifying Party shall object in writing to such amount (as opposed to the Claim itself, as to which the right to dispute had expired) within twenty (20) days after the giving of said second notice, payment of such Claim to the Indemnified Party shall be made by the Indemnifying Party.

 

33

 

If the Indemnifying Party shall not have made payment to the Indemnified Party of any Claim when said payment is due, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to take any and all actions required to collect from the Indemnifying Party the amount of such Claim.

 

Any portion of the amount of Damages asserted by the Indemnified Party in connection with a Claim shall, if not objected to by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the procedures established herein, be considered to be subject to satisfaction without further objection, as may be appropriate.

 

If the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes any Claim or the amount thereof (which notice shall only be given if the Indemnifying Party has a good faith belief that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity or the full amount of indemnity as claimed) then the parties hereto shall endeavor to settle and compromise such Claim, or may agree to submit the same to arbitration, and, if unable to agree on any settlement or compromise or on submission to arbitration, such claim shall be settled by appropriate litigation, and any liability and the amount of the Damages established by reason of such settlement, compromise, arbitration or litigation, or incurred as a result thereof, shall be paid and satisfied as provided herein.

 

11.4     Conditions of Indemnification with Respect to Third Party Claims.  The Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice to the Indemnifying Party of any claim of a third party which may reasonably be expected to result in a Claim by the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in and, with respect to a third party Claim as to which the Indemnifying is “wholly at risk,” direct the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, provided the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s election to do so within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice in accordance with the preceding sentence.  For the purposes of this Section 11.4, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to be “wholly at risk” except as to (i) Claims as to which the Indemnified Party may have any direct monetary risk for which it is not fully indemnified by the terms hereof or (ii) Claims as to which the Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment has any risk or liability for which compensation by monetary damages would not be adequate.  If the Indemnifying Party fails to so notify the Indemnified Party of its election to defend any such third party claim, the Indemnified Party will (upon further notice to the Indemnifying Party) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and expense of the Indemnifying Party, subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of such claim at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof.

 

34

 

If the proceeding involves matters as to which the Indemnifying Party is not “wholly at risk,” then the defense, compromise or settlement of the Claim shall be the responsibility of the Indemnified Party, but such defense, compromise and settlement by the Indemnified Party shall be for the expense and account of the Indemnifying Party.  Counsel for the Indemnifying Party shall consult and cooperate at all times with counsel for the Indemnified Party in defending against any such third party claim.

 

The Indemnifying Party shall not under any circumstances, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a release from all liability in respect of such claim.
