GLOBAL CASINOS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2011 (unaudited)


1.     ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


This summary of significant accounting policies of Global Casinos, Inc. (Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements.  The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.


Organization and Consolidation


Global Casinos, Inc. (the "Company or "Global"), a Utah corporation, operates two gaming casinos.


As of March 31, 2011, the Company’s operating subsidiaries were Casinos USA, Inc. ("Casinos USA,” a Colorado corporation), which owns and operates the Bull Durham Saloon and Casino ("Bull Durham"), located in the limited stakes gaming district of Black Hawk, Colorado, and Doc Holliday Casino II, LLC (a Colorado limited liability company), which operates the Doc Holliday Casino (“Doc Holliday”), located in the limited stakes gaming district of Central City, Colorado.


The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Presentation and Comparability


Certain amounts from previously reported periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentations.


Use of Estimates and Assumptions


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Significant estimates included herein relate to the recoverability of assets, the value of long-lived assets and liabilities, the value of share based compensation transactions, the future obligations resulting from promotional activities, the long-term viability of the business, the future impact of gaming regulations, and future obligations under various tax statutes.  Actual results may differ from estimates.




10





Risk Considerations


The Company operates in a highly regulated environment subject to the political process.  Our retail gaming licenses are subject to annual renewal by the Colorado Division of Gaming.  Changes to existing statutes and regulations could have a negative effect on our operations.  The Colorado Gaming Commission requires that any beneficial owner of five percent or more of the Company’s securities, including holders of common stock, file an application for a finding of suitability. The gaming authority has the power to investigate an owner's suitability and the owner must pay all costs of the investigation. If the owner is found unsuitable, then the owner may be required by law to dispose of the securities.  The Colorado Division of Gaming is currently requiring certain of the Company’s shareholders to file an application for finding of suitability.  If they are found by the division to be unsuitable, they could be required to divest their share positions. A contingency exists with respect this matter, the ultimate resolution of which cannot presently be determined.


In addition, since the Company’s two gaming facilities are both located in the Central City and Black Hawk, Colorado geographic area, the potential for severe financial impact can result from negative effects of economic conditions within the market or geographic area.  This concentration results in an associated risk and uncertainty.


Concentrations of Credit Risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivables.  At March 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $68,000 of cash or cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by agencies of the U.S. Government.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management.  The Company's financial instruments include cash, accrued gaming income, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities and long-term debt obligations.  Except for long-term debt obligations, the carrying value of financial instruments approximated fair value due to their short maturities.


The carrying value of all long-term debt obligations approximated fair value because interest rates on these instruments are similar to quoted rates for instruments with similar risks.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash consists of demand deposits and vault cash used in casino operations.  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Accrued Gaming Income


Gaming income represents the difference between the cash played by customers, and the cash paid out by the casino machines.  On a regular basis, the cash representing the casino’s revenue is pulled



11





from the machines and deposited. However, this process does not always occur at the end of the last business day of the month. Accrued gaming income represents the amount of revenue (cash) in the machines that has not yet been pulled and deposited at the end of the reporting period.  At March 31, and June 30, 2010, $188,959 and $294,061 of income, respectively, was accrued and recorded as a current asset.

  

Inventories


Inventories primarily consist of food and beverage supplies and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the specific-cost method.  


Land, Building and Improvements, and Equipment


Land, building and improvements, and equipment are carried at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.  The building is depreciated over 31 years, and improvements and equipment are depreciated over five to seven years.  Depreciation expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $342,821 and $428,404, respectively.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management's judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying value to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is determined as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets.


Goodwill


Goodwill, which resulted from the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the underlying assets purchased and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of the Doc Holliday Casino (“reporting unit” or “casino”) in March 2008, is evaluated for impairment annually at the reporting unit level as of June 30, and whenever the occurrence of a significant event or a change in circumstances would suggest that the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill might be in excess of its fair value.  Such factors include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the business climate, and significant and unexpected changes in the reporting unit’s cash flows. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment in a two step process per ASC 350.  Step 1 requires testing the recoverability of the reporting unit on a fair-value basis.  If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill, Step 2 is performed by assigning the reporting unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to the allocation of purchase price in a business combination to determine the implied fair value of the goodwill.  If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, goodwill is deemed impaired, and is written down to the extent of the difference.  The fair value of the reporting unit has been determined from time-to-time using the discounted future cash flow method, the cost and market approach obtained by independent appraisal, or a combination thereof.



12







See Note 3 for further discussion regarding the Company’s goodwill.


Casino Chips and Tokens


Gaming chips and tokens are accounted for from the time the casino receives them even though they may not yet be issued and are held in reserve.  The chip and token float is determined by the difference between the total amounts of chips and tokens placed in service and the actual inventory of chips and tokens held by the casino at any point in time. The chip and token float is included in other current liabilities.


Revenue Recognition


In accordance with gaming industry practice, the Company recognizes casino revenues as the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses.  Anticipated payouts resulting from our customer loyalty program (Sharpshooter’s Club), in which registered customers are awarded cash based on the frequency and amounts of their gaming activities are included in promotional allowances.  In accordance with gaming industry practice, these promotional allowances are presented as a reduction of casino revenues.


Advertising Costs


The Company expenses all advertising costs as they are incurred.  Advertising costs were $1,123 and $221 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Consulting Expenses


From time-to-time the Company engages consultants to perform various professional and administrative functions including public relations and corporate marketing.  Expenses for consulting services are generally recognized when services are performed and billable by the consultant.  In the event an agreement requires payments in which the timing of the payments is not consistent with the performance of services, expense is recognized as either service events occur, or recognized evenly over the period of the consulting agreement where specific services performed under the agreement are not readily identifiable.  Consulting agreements in which compensation is contingent upon the successful occurrence of one or more events are only expensed when the contingency has been, or is reasonably assured, to be met.  The Company currently has no active consulting arrangements.





13





Income Taxes


The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates resulting from new legislation is recognized in income in the period of enactment.  A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when management concludes that the "more likely than not" realization criteria has not been met.


Earnings Per Common Share


Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share excludes potential common shares if the effect would be anti-dilutive. Potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock.


Potentially dilutive shares of 135,000 were not included in the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive, and represent out of the money stock options.


Stock-Based Compensation


Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) Topic 718, “Stock Compensation,” establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share based payment arrangements, and requires all entities to apply a fair value based measurement method in accounting for share based payment transactions with employees.  Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the period during which the holder is required to provide services in exchange for the award, i.e., the vesting period.


On March 18, 2011, the Company’s board of directors granted a total of 325,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to members of senior management as consideration of services provided by the Company’s directors and executive officers.  The services were valued at $.10 per share, and as such $32,500 of stock based compensation was recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.


On January 18, 2010, the Company’s board of directors granted a total of 325,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to members of senior management as consideration of services provided by the Company’s directors and executive officers.  The services were valued at $.30 per share, and as such $97,500 of stock based compensation is included in operating, general and administrative



14





expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.


Comprehensive Income


Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income,” provides guidance for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no differences between reported net income and comprehensive income.


Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities


Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” provides guidance for disclosure of derivative instruments and hedging activities.  During the periods covered by the financial statements the Company did not have any derivative financial instruments and did not participate in hedging activities.


Segment Information


The Company currently operates in one business segment as determined in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) Topic 280, “Segment reporting.”  The determination of reportable segments is based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating decisions and assessing performance.  All operations are located in the United States of America.


Recent Pronouncements

The FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification is effective for all interim and annual financial statements issued after September 15, 2009.  The ASC is now the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States.  The historical GAAP hierarchy was eliminated and the ASC became the only level of authoritative GAAP, other than guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Our accounting policies were not affected by the conversion to ASC.  However, we have conformed references to specific accounting standards in these notes to our consolidated financial statements to the appropriate section of ASC.

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2011 and 2010, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operations, or cash flows.


2.     INVESTMENT IN IMAGEDOC USA, INC.

On July 19, 2010, the Company executed a Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with ImageDoc USA, Inc. (“ImageDoc”), a Colorado corporation wherein, the Company agreed to purchase, for an aggregate purchase price of up to $120,000, up to an aggregate of 2,566,000 shares of common stock and warrants exercisable to purchase an additional 400,000 shares of common stock of ImageDoc for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.20



15





per share.  The investment, represents less than 10% of all outstanding common stock and common stock equivalents of ImageDoc at the closing date.     

Also effective July 19, 2010 the Company and ImageDoc entered into a Registration Rights Agreement establishing the terms by which ImageDoc shall prepare and file a Registration Statement covering the spin-off to Global equity holders of the ImageDoc shares, which are the subject of the aforementioned Purchase Agreement.  The Company has completed the purchase of all 2,566,000 shares of common stock and warrants exercisable to purchase an additional 400,000 shares of common stock of ImageDoc.  As of March 31, 2011 the warrants have not been exercised. No record date has been established for the spin-off of those shares and the distribution will not occur until such time a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Securities Exchange Commission.


3.     GOODWILL


The Company’s goodwill as recorded in our Doc Holliday Casino reporting unit is comprised of the following:


Total Goodwill

 $         1,898,496

 

Impairment charges

             (890,000)

Total Goodwill as of March 31, 2011

 $         1,008,496



Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually at the reporting unit level as of June 30, and whenever the occurrence of an event or a change in circumstances would suggest that the carrying value of the reporting unit including goodwill might be in excess of its fair value.  Such factors include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the business climate, and significant and unexpected changes in the reporting unit’s cash flows.  Due to various factors, the Company evaluated the goodwill recorded in our Doc Holliday Casino reporting unit during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, and year ended June 30, 2010, which is discussed below.  


The Company’s evaluation for goodwill impairment at June 30, 2010 essentially mirrored the interim analysis performed as of March 31, 2010, with minor adjustments made to the reporting unit’s cash flow forecasts.  As no significant changes in either the operating or economic environment had occurred since the March 31, 2010 interim evaluation which is discussed in detail below, management determined all other pertinent assumptions and estimates remained unchanged from the that evaluation, including the 12% rate used to discount future cash flows, revenue and expense growth assumptions, asset investment assumptions, and utilization of the ten year horizon with no terminal value assigned.  Based on the June 30, 2010 evaluation, the fair value of the reporting unit including the goodwill exceeded its carrying value by approximately 20%.  As such, step two of the evaluation was not performed at June 30, 2010.


No interim analysis was performed at March 31, 2011 as no significant changes in the reporting unit’s operations occurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.



16






During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, and based on a combination of factors, including the continuing poor local and regional economic environment, the sustained period of decline in the Company’s market capitalization, and poor operating results of the Doc Holliday Casino, the Company concluded there were sufficient indicators to perform an interim impairment test of the reporting unit’s recorded goodwill.

The Company’s estimate of the reporting unit’s fair value at March 31, 2010 was determined by discounting estimating future cash flows based on internally developed revenue, operating cost, and cash flow forecasts considering historical results, local and regional current and expected economic conditions, as well as the potential impact of business and operational strategies in light of capital constraints based on current financial market conditions.  No significant additional investment in operating assets was assumed other than to maintain the quality of the gaming equipment.  For purposes of discounting future cash flows, we used 12%, which is management’s best estimate of our cost of capital based on historical values, recent borrowings, current market conditions both in terms of borrowing rates and availability of credit, and considerations for risks associated with the reporting unit.  Operating estimates for the next ten years were used to determine estimated future cash flows.  No terminal value was assigned to the fair value as the property is leased and management determined that estimates beyond ten years were dependent upon significant upgrades to the property, which could not be appropriately evaluated.  The Company believes the assumptions used in the impairment analysis are consistent with the factors and risks inherent within the industry.


The analysis incorporated four discounted cash flow models: zero to slow growth, slow to moderate growth; moderate growth; and, moderate to aggressive growth.  Revenue growth assumptions used in the models varied from 1% per year in the zero to slow growth model to 5% per year in the aggressive growth model.  Operating expense growth was dependent upon the revenue growth and reflected increases in personnel and other operating costs necessary to support the associated revenue growth assumption.  Operating expense growth assumptions used in the models varied from 0.25% per year in the zero to slow growth model to 2.5% per year in the aggressive growth model.  In all models, fiscal year 2011 does not include the full growth assumptions as we anticipate fiscal year 2011 growth will continue to be sluggish due to the local and regional economic conditions.


Because of the significant uncertainties regarding the local and regional economic recoveries, the results from the aggressive growth model were discarded.  The fair value calculated in the zero to slow growth model was also discarded as overly conservative and not indicative of historical performances nor does it appropriately reflect expected improvements over time in the local and regional economies.  Therefore, the best estimate of fair value based on the discounted cash flow model was determined to be between the slow to moderate growth and moderate growth models which utilized revenue growth assumptions of 3% to 4%, and expense growth assumptions of 1% to 2%.  The average fair value of these two models was approximately $700,000, and was assigned to the Step 1 analysis.  The result of the Step 1 analysis resulted in a fair value less than the recorded value of the reporting unit.  As such, Step 2 analysis was performed.  This analysis included a hypothetical valuation of the reporting unit’s long term assets including its gaming and other fixed assets as if it had been acquired in a business combination.  For all other assets and liabilities the fair value and recorded values were considered equal.  After the allocation of the fair value to the reporting unit’s operating assets, the recorded value of the goodwill was in excess of its implied fair



17





value, and as such an impairment adjustment to the carrying value of the goodwill in the amount of $890,000 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010.


The estimates of future operations of the reporting unit represent management’s best estimates given data known at the time the analysis was prepared.  To the extent actual future results vary from estimated future results, additional impairment of goodwill may be recognized.  For example, should actual future operations be indicative of our zero to slow growth model, the impairment charge would have exceeded $1.5 million.


4.     NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT


Effective September 19, 2009, all of the secured obligations of Casinos, USA, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Casinos, Inc. matured and became due and payable.  The secured obligations are secured by deeds of trust encumbering the Bull Durham casino property located in Blackhawk, Colorado.  Until their maturity, all payments required under the notes had been made in a timely fashion.  We have since purchased the senior loan and deed of trust and negotiated extensions of the second priority loan and deed of trust and a portion of the junior loans and deed of trust. We intend to continue to make payments under the notes pending our efforts to renegotiate their maturity dates.


On March 22, 2010 the Company consummated an Allonge and Modification Agreement with the holder of a junior deed of trust note on the Bull Durham Casino.  Immediately prior to the modification the Note had a principal balance of $176,540.  The agreement extended the maturity date to April 1, 2013, established an interest rate of 8% per annum, and requires monthly principal and interest payments of $1,911 beginning on April 1, 2010.


On December 30, 2009 the Company consummated an Allonge and Modification Agreement with the holder of a second deed of trust note on the Bull Durham Casino.  Immediately prior to the modification the Note had a principal balance of $616,988.  The agreement required a principal pay down of $100,000, monthly principal and interest payments of $5,596 beginning on January 1, 2010, and extended the maturity date of the Note to December 31, 2010.  In addition, the Company paid to the note holder a loan extension fee of $2,585, and $8,000 to reimburse the note holder for legal and other costs associated with the modification.  Subject to the Note not being in default at the maturity date, and together with an additional $50,000 pay down of the Note principal, the Company would have the option to extend the maturity date of the Note to December 31, 2011.  In December 2010, the Company exercised this option and made the $50,000 pay down on the Note thereby extending the maturity date to December 31, 2011.  In addition, subject to the Note not being in default at December 31, 2011, together with an additional $50,000 pay down on the Note, the Company will have an additional option to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2012.  After December 31, 2012 the maturity date will only be further extended by written mutual agreement upon terms acceptable to both parties.


On November 30, 2009 the Company consummated a Loan Document Purchase and Assignment Agreement with the holder of the senior mortgage of the Bull Durham Casino in which the Company obtained all of the rights, title and interest in and to the Note and Loan Agreement.  The total amount of consideration paid to the holder was $730,710 which included principal of $721,021, interest accrued to the purchase date of $5,689, and a fee of $4,000 to cover legal and administrative costs of



18





the holder.  Also on November 30, 2009 the Company executed a Loan Participation Agreement whereby the Company assigned to an unaffiliated third party an undivided 34.7% interest in the Note for total consideration of $250,000 and a loan participation fee of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.38 per share.  And on December 30, 2009 the Company executed a Loan Participation Agreement whereby the Company assigned to a director an undivided 2.08% interest in the Note for total consideration of $15,000 and a loan participation fee of 3,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.39 per share.  The remaining undivided 63.22% interest in the Note is owned by the Company and is eliminated in consolidation as the debtor is a wholly owned operating subsidiary.  The Note has not been modified and continues to be in technical default.  The resulting participation obligations are discussed further in the footnote “Loan Participation Obligations.”


In addition, a note payable to the seller of Doc Holliday Casino acquired in March 2008, matured on March 31, 2009.  The note did not bear interest, however upon its maturity a default interest rate of 8% with interest payments due monthly became effective.  Since default, we have made all required interest payments under the default terms of the note.  At the request of the note holder and beginning in January 2010, we had been making interest and additional monthly principal reduction payments of $12,500.  Beginning in January 2011, we notified the noteholder that we would not be able to continue making the monthly principal reduction payments on the note during the slower winter months.  With the noteholder’s acquiescence, but not express agreement, we have been making interest only payments and smaller principal reduction payments.  The note holder has not executed any modification agreement, and as such all principal is considered in technical default and is classified as a current obligation.


At March 31, 2011, notes payable and long-term debt, exclusive of the Loan Participations discussed in Note 4, consisted of the following:

  

Junior mortgage payable to private lender, collateralized by real estate, interest at 8%, monthly payments of $5,596, maturing December 31, 2011.



$      429,474


Junior mortgage payable to private lender, collateralized by real estate, interest at 8%, monthly payments of $1,911, maturing April 1, 2013.

5.     LOAN PARTICIPATION OBLIGATIONS


As discussed in Note 2: “Notes Payable and Long Term Debt,” on November 30, 2009 the Company consummated a Loan Document Purchase and Assignment Agreement with the holder of the senior mortgage of the Bull Durham Casino in which the Company obtained all of the rights, title and interest in and to the Note and Loan Agreement.  Then, and also on November 30, 2009 the Company executed a Loan Participation Agreement (“Agreement”) whereby the Company assigned to an unaffiliated third party an undivided 34.7% interest in the Note for total consideration of $250,000 and a loan participation fee of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.38 per share.  The Company is considered the Loan Servicing Agent under the Agreement.  Monthly principal and interest payments began on January 1, 2010, and are based on a seven year amortization at 12% annual interest.  In addition, the participant is entitled to an additional 1% per year in year one, 2% per year in year 2, and 3% in year 3, as well as additional loan participation fees on the first and second annual anniversaries of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, provided that on each issue date there remains outstanding and unpaid any amount due and owing under the participant interest.  The first anniversary shares were issued in February 2011, at a value of $0.12 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on November 30, 2010.  As such, $6,000 of financing fees were charged for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.


On December 30, 2009 the Company executed an additional Loan Participation Agreement whereby the Company assigned to a director an undivided 2.08% interest in the Note for total consideration of $15,000 and a loan participation fee of 3,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.39 per share.  The Company is considered the Loan Servicing Agent under the Agreement.  Monthly principal and interest payments began on January 1, 2010, and are based on a seven year amortization at 12% annual interest.  In addition, the participant is entitled to an additional 1% per year in year one, 2% per year in year 2, and 3% in year 3, as well as additional loan participation fees on the first and second annual anniversaries of 3,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, provided that on each issue date there remains outstanding and unpaid any amount due and owing under the participant interest.  The first anniversary shares were issued in February 2011, at a value of $0.09 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 30, 2010.  As such, $270 of financing fees were charged for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.


The remaining undivided 63.22% interest in the Note is owned by the Company and is eliminated in consolidation as the debtor is a wholly owned operating subsidiary.  The Note has not been modified and continues to be in technical default.

6.     CONVERTIBLE DEBT


On July 16, 2010, the Company’s board of directors approved a private offering of its securities consisting of up to $120,000 in 5% Unsecured Convertible Debentures (“Debentures”) on a $10,000 minimum, all-or-none, $120,000 maximum, best efforts basis.   The Debentures will mature and be due and payable in July and August 2013.  The principal amount of the Debentures will accrue interest at the rate of 5% per annum and will be payable at the maturity date. The Debentures are convertible, at the option of the investor, at any time, into shares of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock at a conversion price equal to $0.25 per share of Series E Preferred.  The Debentures will automatically convert into shares of Series E Preferred Stock under certain circumstances.  All debentures approved by the board of directors in the private offering were sold in July and August 2010.


7.     STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY


Preferred Stock


The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  These shares may be issued in series with such rights and preferences as may be determined by the Board of Directors.




21





Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock


The Company's Board of Directors has authorized 2,000,000 shares of $2.00 stated value, Series A Preferred Stock.  The preferred stock has a senior liquidation preference value of $2.00 per share.  It does not bear dividends. The conversion privileges originally included with the stock have expired.  The preferred stock originally contained a mandatory redemption feature that required the Company to redeem the outstanding stock on May 31, 1995 at a rate of $2.00 per share.  On May 31, 1995, a majority of the preferred stockholders agreed to waive the mandatory redemption in consideration for a lower conversion price into common shares at $1.125 per share.  Subsequently, holders of 1,205,750 shares of Series A preferred stock converted their holdings into common stock.  The remaining 200,500 outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock are held by owners who chose not to participate in the revised offer and remain outstanding at March 31, 2011.  During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company determined that the mandatory redemption feature expired due to the statute of limitations.  Accordingly, the Series A preferred stock was reclassified from current liabilities to stockholders' equity.


Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock


The Company's Board of Directors has authorized 400,000 shares of $10.00 stated value, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.  Each share of Series B preferred stock is convertible into one share of the Company's common stock or may be redeemed at an exercise price of $10.00 per share.  In addition, the Series B shares have a junior liquidation preference of $10.00 per share.  Holders of the Series B preferred stocks are entitled to receive an annual dividend payable at the rate of 8% per annum, which is cumulative, and unpaid dividends bear interest at an annual rate of 12%.  As of March 31, 2011 there were no shares outstanding.


Series C Convertible Preferred Stock


In January 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company ratified the issuance of Series C preferred stock. The Company has authorized 600,000 Series C shares with a stated value of $1.20 per share.  Series C shares are convertible into common stock at a rate of $1.20 per share.  Holders of Series C preferred stock are entitled to vote and to receive dividends at the annual rate of 7% based on the stated value per share.  In addition, the holders of Series C preferred stock are entitled to participate, pro rata, in dividends paid on outstanding shares of common stock.  The dividends are cumulative and unpaid dividends bear interest at an annual rate of 10%.  As of March 31, 2011 there were no shares outstanding.


Series D Convertible Preferred Stock


In February 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company established a series of the class of preferred stock designated “Series D Convertible Preferred Stock” (Series D preferred stock) and authorized an aggregate of 1,000,000 non-voting shares with a stated value of $1.00 per share.  Holders of the Series D preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends at the annual rate of eight percent (8%) based on the stated value per share computed on the basis of a 360 day year and twelve 30 day months.  Dividends are cumulative, shall be declared quarterly, and are calculated from the date of issue and payable on the fifteenth day of April, July, October and January.  The dividends



22





may be paid, at the option of the holder either in cash or by the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock valued at the market price on the dividend record date.  Shares of the Series D preferred stock are redeemable at the Company’s option.  At the option of the holder shares of the Series D preferred stock plus any declared and unpaid dividends are convertible to shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate of $1.00 per share.


In March 2008, the Company completed a private offering of 700,000 shares of Series D Preferred stock.  The $700,000 proceeds from the private offering were used as partial payment to the seller of Doc Holliday at the acquisition closing on March 18, 2008.  On March 31, 2011, $14,000 of dividends were declared and are included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2011.  All other quarterly dividends declared have been paid.


Series E Convertible Preferred Stock


On July 12, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company to authorize a new series of preferred stock designated Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”).  The Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock authorized six hundred thousand (600,000) shares of the Company’s authorized Preferred Stock to be designated as Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, having a stated value of $0.25 per share.  Holders of the Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights, but shall be entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion.  In addition, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate, pro rata, in dividends paid on outstanding shares of common stock.  The Preferred Stock is redeemable by the Company at its sole option and discretion at any time after six months from the initial issue date, at the Preferred Stock’s stated value plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, and may be paid in cash or in shares of common stock valued at 75% of the volume weighted-average price of the common stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to the date of the redemption notice.  In addition, at any time prior to redemption, but after the earlier of ninety days from the date of issuance, or the effective date of a Registration Statement registering for sale the shares of the common stock issuable upon such conversion, holders of the Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert their shares into common stock, at a conversion rate of $0.25 per share plus any accrued or unpaid dividends.  As of March 31, 2011, no shares of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock have been issued.


Common Stock


The Company has authorized 50,000,000 shares of $0.05 par value common stock.


As discussed in Loan Participation Obligations, in November 2009 the Company issued 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.38 per share determined by market trading activity on and around the settlement date, as a participation fee to an unaffiliated third party.  As discussed above, the participant is also entitled to 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the first and second annual anniversaries, provided that on each issue date there remains outstanding and unpaid any amount due and owing under the participant interest.  The first anniversary shares were issued in February 2011, at a value of $0.12 per share, the closing price of the Company’s



23





common stock on November 30, 2010.  As such, $6,000 of financing fees were charged for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.


Also as discussed in Loan Participation Obligations, in December 2009 the Company issued 3,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.39 per share determined by market trading activity on and around the settlement date, as a participation fee to a director.  As discussed above, the participant is also entitled to 3,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the first and second annual anniversaries, provided that on each issue date there remains outstanding and unpaid any amount due and owing under the participant interest.  The first anniversary shares were issued in February 2011, at a value of $0.09 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 30, 2010.  As such, $270 of financing fees were charged for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.


On March 18, 2011, the Company’s board of directors granted a total of 325,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to members of senior management as consideration of services provided by the Company’s directors and executive officers.  The services were valued at $.10 per share as determined by market trading activity on and around the award date, and as such $32,500 of stock based compensation was recognized and included in operating, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.


On January 18, 2010, the Company’s board of directors granted a total of 325,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to members of senior management as consideration of services provided by the Company’s directors and executive officers.  The services were valued at $.30 per share as determined by market trading activity on and around the award date, and as such $97,500 of stock based compensation was recognized and included in operating, general and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2010.


On August 24, 2009 the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement (“Agreement”) with a corporate marketing firm to assist us in our efforts to refinance our existing debt, and to assist us in developing other possible strategic alternatives.  The agreement required the Company to pay a one time non-refundable retainer in the amount of 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The stock with a value of $3,500, or $0.35 per share determined by market trading activity on and around the settlement date, was issued in October 2009.


On August 15, 2009, the Company issued to Clifford L. Neuman, the Company’s President and a Director, 77,273 shares of common stock, $.05 par value pursuant to his cashless exercise of options exercisable to purchase 100,000 shares of common Stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.  For purposes of the cashless exercise, the shares were valued at $0.44 per share, which was equal to 100% of the public trading price of the Common Stock on August 15, 2009 as quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board.  As a result, the Company received the surrender of 22,727 options in consideration of the cashless exercise.


On January 5, 2007, the stockholders approved a proposal to adopt and approve a reverse split of up to a ratio of one-for-five of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, and issued and outstanding options, warrants and other rights convertible into shares of our common stock, all at the



24





discretion of our Board of Directors to be implemented in the future as and when determined by our Board of Directors. That reverse split has not been implemented.


8.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Leases


The Doc Holliday Casino currently leases approximately 13,000 square feet of space used for its gaming activities, supporting offices and storage space for $25,362 per month under an operating lease that terminates in July 2015.  The lease requires the Casino to pay for all building expenses until the landlord secures additional tenants to occupy the remaining building space.  If the building is fully leased the Casino’s proportionate share will be equal to 32% of the total building expense burden.  The lease also provides for a credit against future monthly rent payments to the extent the total building expenses paid by the casino increase by more than 3% over a 2004 base year calculation (“floor”).  The total amount of building expenses expected to be in excess of the floor is estimated and capitalized on a monthly basis and reconciled to the actual allowable excess annual expenses in April each year.  The actual excess expenses are available for credit against rent payments beginning the following July each year under the lease.  At March 31, 2011 the total credit available to apply against future rent payments was approximately $55,000.  Rent expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, net of monthly applied expense credits was $213,595 and $182,025, respectively.


On January 29, 2010 the landlord of the Doc Holliday Casino property agreed to a rent abatement in the total aggregate amount of $40,000 prorated over a six month term in the amount of $6,667 per month beginning in February, 2010 and continuing through July 2010.  In consideration of the rent abatement the Company agreed to replace all carpeting on the first floor of the premises, which was completed in February 2010, at a cost of approximately $29,000.  The amount of the rent abatement in excess of the cost of the carpet replacement, or approximately $11,000, was recorded as deferred rent and is being amortized to rent expense over the remaining life of the lease.


On December 31, 2010 the Company and the landlord of the Doc Holliday Casino property agreed to amend the lease agreement noted above.  As a result, for the period commencing January 1, 2011 and ending December 31, 2011 the base rent shall be $250,000, payable at a rate of $20,833 per month.  The amendment results in a monthly reduction of the base rent of approximately $4,500 per month during the abatement period.  The total rent abatement under the agreement of approximately $54,000 was recorded as deferred rent and is being amortized to rent expense over the remaining life of the lease.  All existing agreements with respect to triple net expenses and the cap on the Company’s liability for annual increases in such expenses will remain in effect for the lease period.  In consideration of the rent abatement, the Company agreed that the digital surveillance system installed on the premises would be deemed the sole and separate property of the landlord upon termination of the lease.  At March 31, 2011 the system had a book value of approximately $50,000.

9.     INCOME TAXES


The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes on income arising in, or derived from, the tax jurisdictions in which they operate.


Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are comprised entirely of net operating loss carry-forwards.


For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the reconciliation between the statutory federal tax rate and the effective tax rate as a percentage is as follows:

At June 30, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $5,800,000 available to reduce future taxable income.  The net operating loss carry forwards expire in the years ending June 30 as follows:


 

2011

 

$  897,000

 

2012

When more than a 50% change in ownership occurs, over a three-year period, as defined, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the utilization of net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards in the years



26





following the change in ownership.  Therefore, the Company's utilization of its NOL carry forwards may be partially reduced as a result of changes in stock ownership.  No determination has been made as of December 31, 2010, as to what implications, if any, there will be in the net operating loss carry forwards of the Company.  In addition, the Company has a limited history of earnings, and there is no guarantee of future earnings to offset the net operating loss carry forwards. The deferred tax asset resulting from the net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,970,000 is offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operating loss carry forwards.  The net increase in the valuation allowance was approximately $67,000 from June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2010, and primarily results from the operating loss for the year ended June 30, 2010.


10.     STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN


The Company has a Stock Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), that allows the Company to grant incentive stock options and/or purchase rights (collectively "Rights") to officers, employees, former employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries.

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 on historical volatility as well as expected trends for any known or expected events that might affect the volatility of our future stock prices. Because of the lack of historical forfeiture data, no adjustments to the expected option life were made for expected forfeitures.  The expected life represents an estimate of the time options are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. treasury yield in effect at the time of grant.


For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 no options or warrants to purchase common stock were granted, and as such we recorded no compensation expense under the requirements as discussed above.


11.     CONSULTING AGREEMENTS


On April 1, 2008 the Company entered into Consultation Agreement (“Agreement”) with an independent contractor to provide corporate development services.  The Agreement was to terminate on September 1, 2008, but was extended by both parties on a month to month as needed basis by verbal agreement.  The agreement required the Company pay the consultant a fee equal to $50,000.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, no amounts were charged to operating, general and administrative expenses associated with this agreement.  The agreement was terminated in November 2010.


In August 2008, we entered into an agreement with a marketing firm to provide investor relations services. The agreement required a monthly fee of $2,000, had an original term of six months and had been extended on a month-to-month as-needed basis.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, $2,000 and $16,000, respectively, were charged to operating, general and administrative expenses associated with this agreement. The agreement has since been terminated.


On August 24, 2009 the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement (“Agreement”) with a corporate marketing firm to assist us in our efforts to refinance our existing debt, and to assist us in developing other possible strategic alternatives.  Any amounts payable to the consultant are contingent upon various performance benchmarks, none of which were met.  The agreement also required the Company to pay a one-time non-refundable retainer in the amount of 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The stock with a value of $3,500, or $0.35 per share, was issued in October 2009. The Agreement has since been terminated by mutual agreement of the parties.

12.     RELATED PARTIES


An officer and director operates a law firm that provides legal services to the Company.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, his billings to the Company totaled $55,829 and $66,482 respectively.  At June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011, amounts due to him were $6,660 and $1,903, respectively, and are included in accounts payable, related parties.


The Company contracts with an officer to provide management and accounting services to the Company.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, his billings to the company for services were $23,625 and $21,200, respectively.  At June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011, amounts due him were $1,625 and $2,750, respectively, and are included in accounts payable, related parties.


On March 18, 2011, the Company’s board of directors granted a total of 325,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to members of senior management as consideration of services provided by the Company’s directors and executive officers.  The services were valued at $.10 per share as determined by market trading activity on and around the award date.


On January 18, 2010, the Company’s board of directors granted a total of 325,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to members of senior management as consideration of services provided by the Company’s directors and executive officers.  The services were valued at $.30 per share as determined by market trading activity on and around the award date.


On December 30, 2009 the Company executed an Allonge and Loan Participation Agreement whereby the Company assigned to a director for an undivided 2.08% interest in a mortgage note receivable from the Bull Durham Casino for total consideration of $15,000 and a loan participation fee of 3,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.39 per share.  As discussed above, the participant is also entitled to 3,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the first and second annual anniversaries, provided that on each issue date there remains outstanding and unpaid any amount due and owing under the participant interest.  The first anniversary shares were issued in February 2011, at a value of $0.09 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the anniversary date.  This transaction is further discussed in footnote titled “Loan Participation Obligations.”  


13.     INVESTMENT IN GLOBAL GAMING TECHNOLOGIES


On February 28, 2006, the Company entered into an Organization Agreement with a certain individual to form a for-profit limited liability company under the name of Global Gaming Technologies, LLC (“GGT”).  Under the terms of the Agreement, the individual contributed to GGT all of his intellectual property rights related to two games of poker, which he individually developed.  The Company agreed to make an initial cash capital contribution to GGT of $100,000, for which it received a 25% equity interest in GGT.  At the Company’s election, it may make an additional $100,000 cash capital contribution to GGT for which it will receive an additional 25% equity interest.  The initial cash contribution will be used to further develop the two games and to investigate possible patent protection.  At the present time, both games are still under development



29





and neither has been approved for use in any gaming jurisdiction.  As of March 31, 2011, GGT had no revenues.


The investment is being accounted for under the equity method.  Its cash outlays have primarily been related to investigating patent protection for the products under development and for various product development, organizational start-up costs and limited marketing efforts.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 we have recorded no amounts for various GGT product development expenditures.


During the year ended June 30, 2009 we determined the investment in GGT was impaired due to GGT’s inability to secure patents for the games in a reasonable amount of time, which has provided significant uncertainty regarding the outcome of the patent process.  Should patent protections not be obtained, the exclusivity of the games could be severely impaired, thereby significantly reducing the potential value of the games to GGT.  Because of these uncertainties we believe the investment impairment is other than temporary, and as such we recorded an impairment charge equal to our investment at June 30, 2009.

  

As of March 31, 2011, the Company has made cash payments to GGT of $74,250 as part of the initial $100,000 cash capital payments required under the Agreement.  The remaining $25,750 obligation is recorded as a current liability.


14.     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 13, 2011.

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Certain statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements such as statements relating to future operating results, existing and expected competition, financing and refinancing sources and availability and plans for future development or expansion activities and capital expenditures.  Such forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may significantly affect our liquidity and results in the future and, accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.  Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those related to effects of competition, leverage and debt service financing and refinancing efforts, general economic conditions, changes in gaming laws or regulations (including the legalization of gaming in various jurisdictions) and risks related to development and construction activities.  The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.


Overview


We operate in the domestic gaming industry.  We were organized as a holding company for the purpose of acquiring and operating casinos, gaming properties and other related interests.


As of March 31, 2011, our operating subsidiaries were Casinos USA, Inc. ("Casinos USA,” a Colorado corporation), which owns and operates the Bull Durham Saloon and Casino ("Bull Durham"), located in the limited stakes gaming district of Black Hawk, Colorado, and Doc Holliday Casino II, LLC (a Colorado limited liability company), which operates the Doc Holliday Casino (“Doc Holliday”), located in the limited stakes gaming district of Central City, Colorado.


Our operations are seasonal.  Our casinos typically experience a significant increase in business during the summer tourist season.


We operate in a highly regulated environment subject to the political process.  Our retail gaming licenses are subject to annual renewal by the Colorado Division of Gaming.  Changes to existing statutes and regulations could have a negative effect on our operations.

Results of Operations – Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010


We recognized a net (loss) attributable to common shareholders after $14,000 of dividends on our Series D preferred stock of $(108,115) ($(0.02) per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders after dividends of $14,000, of $(866,408) ($(0.14) per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  The decrease in the net loss for the period is primarily attributed to a goodwill impairment charge of $890,000 recorded at March 31, 2010, which is further discussed below.


Revenues


Casino revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $1,378,214 compared to $1,535,909 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, representing a decrease of $157,695, or 10.3%.  Total casino revenues for the Bull Durham were $893,801 and $944,490 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of $(50,689) or 5.4%.  Total casino revenues for Doc Holliday were $484,413 and $591,419 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of $(107,006) or 18.1%.  Total casino coin-in was down 9.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.  We also experienced a decrease of 0.28% in our hold percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.


Promotional allowances primarily include anticipated redemptions associated with the Bull Durham Casino’s Sharpshooter’s Club which awards customers with cash payouts dependent upon the frequency and amount of their gaming activities on our slot machines.  The total allowances increased by $5,831 from $42,861 to $48,692 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Labor & Benefits: Includes all salary and contract labor costs associated with the operations of the casinos, payroll taxes, as well as costs associated with the casinos’ employee benefit and health insurance plans.  The 5.8% decrease is primarily attributable to certain casino employee bonuses totaling approximately $21,000 paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  No such bonuses were paid during the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Total labor and benefits costs as a percentage of casino revenues increased from 34.3% to 36.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.


Marketing & Advertising: Includes all costs associated with our advertising and marketing efforts including promotional activities designed to drive customers to our casinos, and programs designed to foster customer loyalty.  The 3.0% decrease during the comparable quarter ended March 31, 2011 is primarily attributed to decreases in periodic purchases of marketing supplies and monthly promotional efforts designed to attract and retain casino customers due to cash constraints resulting from decreases in casino revenues as discussed above.  Total marketing and advertising costs as a percentage of casino revenues were 21.5% and 19.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Depreciation & Amortization: Primarily includes depreciation on our gaming equipment, casino building improvements, furniture and fixtures, as well as amortization on our customer tracking software.  The decrease of $29,265 is attributable to decreases in the casino depreciable asset bases resulting from our efforts to upgrade existing slot machines versus purchasing of new machines due



33





to capital constraints and efforts to reduce casino operating expenses.  However, we are continuing our efforts to upgrade and maintain the quality and appearance of the machines in both casinos as part of our strategy to provide the best customer experience possible to enhance customer loyalty.


Food & Beverage: Includes all costs associated with our bar and limited menu food services.  Total food and beverage costs as a percentage of casino revenues were 5.8% and 5.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Repair, Maintenance & Supplies: Includes costs associated with the general upkeep of the facility, as well as parts and repair efforts to maintain the quality of our slot machines.  Total repair, maintenance and supplies costs as a percentage of casino revenues were 4.2% and 3.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Device Fees: Includes fees paid to the local jurisdictions of the casinos based on the number of slot machines in operation.


Professional Fees: Includes all costs and fees associated with the casinos’ legal services, accounting and auditing services, and the Board of Directors of Casinos USA (d/b/a The Bull Durham Saloon & Casino).  Total professional fees as a percentage of casino revenues were 0.8% and 0.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Insurance, Taxes & Licenses: Includes all non-payroll taxes, liability and property insurance, and licenses associated with the operation of the casinos.  Total insurance, taxes and licenses as a percentage of casino revenues were 3.8% and 3.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Utilities & Telephone: Includes all costs associated with the casinos’ telephone systems, cell phone usage, and utility costs.  Total utilities and telephone expenses as a percentage of revenues were 3.2% and 3.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Occupancy: Includes lease costs of the Doc Holliday Casino, which leases approximately 13,000 square feet of space used for its gaming activities, supporting offices and storage space under an operating lease that terminates in July 2015.  The lease requires the Casino to pay for a portion of the building expenses until the landlord secures additional tenants to occupy the remaining building space.  To the extent the Casino pays total building expenses in excess of the Casino’s portion as defined by the lease, any excess amounts paid are credited to the following lease year’s rent payments.  As of March 31, 2011, prepaid rent credits available to offset future rent payments were approximately $55,000 and are recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets.  The difference between the amount recorded as occupancy expense and the scheduled rent payments is due to the amortization of available prepaid rent credits resulting from certain prior payments of building expenses as discussed above.


On January 29, 2010 the landlord of the Doc Holliday Casino property agreed to rent abatement in the total aggregate amount of $40,000 prorated over a six-month term in the amount of $6,667 per month beginning in February 2010, and continued through July 2010.  In consideration of the rent abatement the Company agreed to replace all carpeting on the first floor of the premises, which was



34





completed in February 2010, at a cost of approximately $29,000.  The amount of the rent abatement in excess of the cost of the carpet replacement, or approximately $11,000, was recorded as deferred rent and is being amortized to rent expense over the remaining life of the lease.


On December 31, 2010 the landlord of the Doc Holliday Casino property agreed to further amend the lease agreement.  As a result, for the period commencing January 1, 2011 and ending December 31, 2011 the base rent shall be $250,000, payable at a rate of $20,833 per month.  The amendment results in a monthly reduction of the base rent of approximately $4,500 per month during the abatement period.  The total rent abatement under the agreement of approximately $54,000 was recorded as deferred rent and is being amortized to rent expense over the remaining life of the lease.  All existing agreements with respect to triple net expenses and the cap on the Company’s liability for annual increases in such expenses will remain in effect for the lease period.  In consideration of the rent abatement, the Company agreed that the digital surveillance system installed on the premises would be deemed the sole and separate property of the landlord upon termination of the lease.  At March 31, 2011 the system had a book value of approximately $50,000.


Other Casino Expenses: Includes all other costs of the casino operations not included in the above categories, including travel, armored car services, postage, casino entertainment, employee education programs, bank and other financing fees, and lease costs associated with off-site storage units.  Total other casino expenses as a percentage of revenues were 0.6% and 0.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Operating, general, and administrative expenses:  Generally includes all expenses associated with the operations of the parent entity, Global Casinos, Inc., including legal and executive services provided by the company’s principal executive officer, accounting services provided by the company’s principal accounting officer, as well as clerical and bookkeeping services, corporate marketing efforts, and stock-based compensation costs relating to the company’s executive officers, directors, and subsidiary management.  


Total operating, general, and administrative costs were $57,838, as compared to $31,914 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an increase of $25,924, and is attributable to certain non-cash stock based compensation recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  On March 18, 2011, the Company’s board of directors granted a total of 325,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to members of senior management as consideration of services provided by the Company’s directors and executive officers.  The services were valued at $.10 per share, and as such $32,500 of stock based compensation was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  No such stock based compensation was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010.


Loss on Asset Disposals:


During the three months ended March 31, 2011 we disposed certain casino equipment with a book value of $2,186.  There were no proceeds received regarding these disposals.  The resulting $2,186 loss was recorded as a loss on asset disposals.  No disposals were made during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 that resulted in asset sale gains or losses.



35






Impairment of Goodwill:


During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, and based on a combination of factors, including the continuing poor local and regional economic environment, the sustained period of decline in the Company’s market capitalization, and poor operating results of the Doc Holliday Casino, we concluded there were sufficient indicators to perform an interim impairment test of the reporting unit’s recorded goodwill.

The estimate of the reporting unit’s fair value was determined by discounting estimating future cash flows based on internally developed revenue, operating cost, and cash flow forecasts considering historical results, local and regional current and expected economic conditions, as well as the potential impact of business and operational strategies in light of capital constraints based on current financial market conditions.  No significant additional investment in operating assets was assumed other than to maintain the quality of the gaming equipment.  For purposes of discounting future cash flows, we used 12%, which is management’s best estimate of our cost of capital based on historical values, recent borrowings, current market conditions both in terms of borrowing rates and availability of credit, and considerations for risks associated with the reporting unit.  Operating estimates for the next ten years were used to determine estimated future cash flows.  No terminal value was assigned to the fair value as the property is leased and management determined that estimates beyond ten years were dependent upon significant upgrades to the property, which could not be appropriately evaluated.  We believe the assumptions used in the impairment analysis are consistent with the factors and risks inherent within the industry.


The analysis incorporated four discounted cash flow models: zero to slow growth, slow to moderate growth; moderate growth; and, moderate to aggressive growth.  Revenue growth assumptions used in the models varied from 1% per year in the zero to slow growth model to 5% per year in the aggressive growth model.  Operating expense growth was dependent upon the revenue growth and reflected increases in personnel and other operating costs necessary to support the associated revenue growth assumption.  Operating expense growth assumptions used in the models varied from 0.25% per year in the zero to slow growth model to 2.5% per year in the aggressive growth model.  In all models, fiscal year 2011 did not include the full growth assumptions as we anticipated fiscal year 2011 growth would continue to be sluggish due to expectations regarding local and regional economic conditions.


Because of the significant uncertainties regarding the local and regional economic recoveries, the results from the aggressive growth model were discarded.  The fair value calculated in the zero to slow growth model was also discarded as overly conservative and not indicative of historical performances nor does it appropriately reflect expected improvements over time in the local and regional economies.  Therefore, the best estimate of fair value based on the discounted cash flow model was determined to be between the slow to moderate growth and moderate growth models which utilized revenue growth assumptions of 3% to 4%, and expense growth assumptions of 1% to 2%.  The average fair value of these two models was approximately $700,000, and was assigned to the Step 1 analysis.  The result of the Step 1 analysis resulted in a fair value less than the recorded value of the reporting unit.  As such, Step 2 analysis was performed.  This analysis included a hypothetical valuation of the reporting unit’s long term assets including its gaming and other fixed assets as if as if it had been acquired in a business combination.  For all other assets and liabilities the fair value and recorded values were considered equal.  After the allocation of the fair value to the entities operating assets, the recorded value of the goodwill was in excess of its implied fair value, and as such an impairment adjustment to the carrying value of the



36





goodwill in the amount of $890,000 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010.


No analysis of impairment was considered necessary for the period ended March 31, 2011.  However, a valuation of the goodwill is performed each June.


Interest Expense


Net interest expense was $26,252 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $28,498 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and primarily represents regularly scheduled payments on various senior and junior mortgages collateralized by the Bull Durham Saloon and Casino real estate, as well as certain debt incurred to facilitate the acquisition of the Doc Holliday Casino in March 2008.  Interest expense is partially offset by interest income earned on certain cash balances maintained at financial institutions.


Other


Series D Preferred Stock: Holders of our Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of 8% per year, declared quarterly and payable the 15th day of April, July, October and January of each year.  For the three months ended March 31, 2011, dividends of $14,000 were declared and are included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2011.  The dividends were subsequently paid in April 2011.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010, dividends of $14,000 were declared and are included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2010, and were paid in April 2010.


Net Operating Loss Carryover: For federal income tax purposes, Global has a net operating loss carryover (NOL) approximating $5,800,000, which can be used to offset future taxable income, if any.  Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and the benefits from NOL's are subject to certain limitations including restrictions imposed when there is a loss of business continuity or when ownership changes in excess of 50% of outstanding shares, under certain circumstances.  There is no guarantee that Global will be able to utilize its NOL before it expires and accordingly, no potential benefit has been recorded in the financial statements.


Inflation did not have a material impact on the Company's operations for the period.


Other than the foregoing, management knows of no trends, demands, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.

Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2010


We recognized a net (loss) attributable to common shareholders after $42,622 of dividends on our Series D preferred stock of $(268,400) ($(0.04) per share) for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders after dividends of $42,622, of $(1,107,417) ($(0.18) per share) for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  The decrease in the net loss for the period is primarily attributed to a goodwill impairment charge of $890,000 recorded at March 31, 2010, which is further discussed below.



Revenues


Casino revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were $4,243,490 compared to $4,625,980 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $(382,490) or 8.3%.  Total casino revenues for the Bull Durham were $2,657,570 and $2,840,697 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of $(183,127) or 6.4%.  Total casino revenues for Doc Holliday were $1,585,920 and $1,785,283 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of $(199,363) or 11.2%.  Total casino coin-in was down 9.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  We also experienced a decrease of 0.18% in our hold percentage for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2010.


Promotional allowances primarily include anticipated redemptions associated with the Bull Durham Casino’s Sharpshooter’s Club which awards customers with cash payouts dependent upon the frequency and amount of their gaming activities on our slot machines.  The total allowances increased by $11,829 from $119,071 to $130,900 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Labor & Benefits: Includes all salary and contract labor costs associated with the operations of the casinos, payroll taxes, as well as costs associated with the casinos’ employee benefit and health insurance plans.  The 6.9% decrease is primarily attributable to certain casino employee bonuses totaling approximately $75,000 paid during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $15,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  Total labor and benefits costs as a percentage of casino revenues increased from 34.9% to 35.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2011, respectively.


Marketing & Advertising: Includes all costs associated with our advertising and marketing efforts including promotional activities designed to drive customers to our casinos, and programs designed to foster customer loyalty.  The 2.1% increase is primarily attributed to an increase in periodic purchases of marketing supplies and increases in monthly promotional efforts designed to attract and retain casino customers.


Depreciation & Amortization: Primarily includes depreciation on our gaming equipment, casino building improvements, furniture and fixtures, as well as amortization on our customer tracking software.  The decrease of $85,583 is attributable to decreases in the casino depreciable asset bases resulting from our efforts to upgrade existing slot machines versus purchasing of new machines due to capital constraints and efforts to reduce operating expenses.  However, we are continuing our



39





efforts to upgrade and maintain the quality and appearance of the machines in both casinos as part of our strategy to provide the best customer experience possible to enhance customer loyalty.


Food & Beverage: Includes all costs associated with our bar and limited menu food services.  Total food and beverage costs as a percentage of casino revenues were 6.1% and 5.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Repair, Maintenance & Supplies: Includes costs associated with the general upkeep of the facility, as well as parts and repair efforts to maintain the quality of our slot machines.  Total repair, maintenance and supplies costs as a percentage of casino revenues were 4.4% and 3.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Device Fees: Includes fees paid to the local jurisdictions of the casinos based on the number of slot machines in operation.  The decrease in the fees is attributable to fewer machines on the casino floor, particularly in the Doc Holliday casino as we adjust to customer activity.


Professional Fees: Includes all costs and fees associated with the casinos’ legal services, accounting and auditing services, and the Board of Directors of Casinos USA (d/b/a The Bull Durham Saloon & Casino).  The decrease in professional fees is attributable to a decrease in director fees to the Board of Directors of Casinos USA of approximately $(48,000) from $52,666 to $4,500 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The decrease in the fees is the result of the resignation of certain directors resulting from Global Casinos, Inc. purchase of the Bull Durham Casino first mortgage from the mortgage holder in November 2009.


Insurance, Taxes & Licenses: Includes all non-payroll taxes, liability and property insurance, and licenses associated with the operation of the casinos.  The increase of approximately $5,500 is primarily attributed to increases in casino property taxes.  Total insurance, taxes and licenses as a percentage of casino revenues were 3.3% and 2.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Utilities & Telephone: Includes all costs associated with the casinos’ telephone systems, cell phone usage, and utility costs.  Total utilities and telephone expenses as a percentage of revenues were 3.1% and 3.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Occupancy: Includes lease costs of the Doc Holliday Casino, which leases approximately 13,000 square feet of space used for its gaming activities, supporting offices and storage space under an operating lease that terminates in July 2015.  The lease requires the Casino to pay for a portion of the building expenses until the landlord secures additional tenants to occupy the remaining building space.  To the extent the Casino pays total building expenses in excess of the Casino’s portion as defined by the lease, any excess amounts paid are credited to the following lease year’s rent payments.  As of March 31, 2010, prepaid rent credits available to offset future rent payments was approximately $55,000 and are recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets.  The difference between the amount recorded as occupancy expense and the scheduled rent payments is due to the amortization of available prepaid rent credits resulting from certain prior payments of building expenses as discussed above.




40





On January 29, 2010 the landlord of the Doc Holliday Casino property agreed to rent abatement in the total aggregate amount of $40,000 prorated over a six-month term in the amount of $6,667 per month beginning in February 2010, and continued through July 2010.  In consideration of the rent abatement the Company agreed to replace all carpeting on the first floor of the premises, which was completed in February 2010, at a cost of approximately $29,000.  The amount of the rent abatement in excess of the cost of the carpet replacement, or approximately $11,000, was recorded as deferred rent and is being amortized to rent expense over the remaining life of the lease.


On December 31, 2010 the landlord of the Doc Holliday Casino property agreed to further amend the lease agreement.  As a result, for the period commencing January 1, 2011 and ending December 31, 2011 the base rent shall be $250,000, payable at a rate of $20,833 per month.  The amendment results in a monthly reduction of the base rent of approximately $4,500 per month during the abatement period.  The total rent abatement under the agreement of approximately $54,000 was recorded as deferred rent and is being amortized to rent expense over the remaining life of the lease.  All existing agreements with respect to triple net expenses and the cap on the Company’s liability for annual increases in such expenses will remain in effect for the lease period.  In consideration of the rent abatement, the Company agreed that the digital surveillance system installed on the premises would be deemed the sole and separate property of the landlord upon termination of the lease.  At March 31, 2011 the system had a book value of approximately $50,000.


Other Casino Expenses: Includes all other costs of the casino operations not included in the above categories, including travel, armored car services, postage, casino entertainment, employee education programs, bank and other financing fees, and lease costs associated with off-site storage units.  Total other casino expenses as a percentage of revenues were 1.4% and 1.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Operating, general, and administrative expenses:  Generally includes all expenses associated with the operations of the parent entity, Global Casinos, Inc., including legal and executive services provided by the company’s principal executive officer, accounting services provided by the company’s principal accounting officer, as well as clerical and bookkeeping services, corporate marketing efforts, and stock-based compensation costs relating to the company’s executive officers, directors, and subsidiary management.  


Total operating, general, and administrative costs were $145,846, as compared to $264,704 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, a decrease of $118,858.  The decrease is attributable to two primary factors.  First, on January 18, 2010 the Company awarded an aggregate of 325,000 shares of common stock valued at $97,500 ($.30 per share) in consideration of services provided by the Company’s directors and management, and as such $97,500 of stock based compensation was recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  On March 18, 2011, the Company’s board of directors granted a total of 325,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to members of senior management as consideration of services provided by the Company’s directors and executive officers.  The services were valued at $.10 per share, and as such $32,500 of stock based compensation was recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  Second, on November 30, 2009 the Company consummated a Loan Document Purchase and Assignment Agreement with the holder of the senior mortgage of the Bull Durham Casino in which the Company obtained all of the rights, title and interest in and to the Note and Loan Agreement.  Upon the



41





acquisition of the Note, we sold participations in the Note to two investors, one being a director of the Company, which also required the payment of participation fees in the form of common stock.  As such, we recorded loan participation fees totaling $20,170 and the issuance of 53,000 shares of the Company’s common stock during the nine months ended March 31, 2010.


Loss on asset disposals


During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 we disposed certain casino equipment with a remaining book value of $2,418.  There were no proceeds received regarding these disposals.  The resulting $2,418 loss was recorded as a loss on asset disposals.  No disposals were made during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 that resulted in asset sale gains or losses.


Impairment of Goodwill:


During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, and based on a combination of factors, including the continuing poor local and regional economic environment, the sustained period of decline in the Company’s market capitalization, and poor operating results of the Doc Holliday Casino, we concluded there were sufficient indicators to perform an interim impairment test of the reporting unit’s recorded goodwill.

The estimate of the reporting unit’s fair value was determined by discounting estimating future cash flows based on internally developed revenue, operating cost, and cash flow forecasts considering historical results, local and regional current and expected economic conditions, as well as the potential impact of business and operational strategies in light of capital constraints based on current financial market conditions.  No significant additional investment in operating assets was assumed other than to maintain the quality of the gaming equipment.  For purposes of discounting future cash flows, we used 12%, which is management’s best estimate of our cost of capital based on historical values, recent borrowings, current market conditions both in terms of borrowing rates and availability of credit, and considerations for risks associated with the reporting unit.  Operating estimates for the next ten years were used to determine estimated future cash flows.  No terminal value was assigned to the fair value as the property is leased and management determined that estimates beyond ten years were dependent upon significant upgrades to the property, which could not be appropriately evaluated.  We believe the assumptions used in the impairment analysis are consistent with the factors and risks inherent within the industry.


The analysis incorporated four discounted cash flow models: zero to slow growth, slow to moderate growth; moderate growth; and, moderate to aggressive growth.  Revenue growth assumptions used in the models varied from 1% per year in the zero to slow growth model to 5% per year in the aggressive growth model.  Operating expense growth was dependent upon the revenue growth and reflected increases in personnel and other operating costs necessary to support the associated revenue growth assumption.  Operating expense growth assumptions used in the models varied from 0.25% per year in the zero to slow growth model to 2.5% per year in the aggressive growth model.  In all models, fiscal year 2011 did not include the full growth assumptions as we anticipated fiscal year 2011 growth would continue to be sluggish due to expectations regarding local and regional economic conditions.


Because of the significant uncertainties regarding the local and regional economic recoveries, the results from the aggressive growth model were discarded.  The fair value calculated in the zero to slow growth



42





model was also discarded as overly conservative and not indicative of historical performances nor does it appropriately reflect expected improvements over time in the local and regional economies.  Therefore, the best estimate of fair value based on the discounted cash flow model was determined to be between the slow to moderate growth and moderate growth models which utilized revenue growth assumptions of 3% to 4%, and expense growth assumptions of 1% to 2%.  The average fair value of these two models was approximately $700,000, and was assigned to the Step 1 analysis.  The result of the Step 1 analysis resulted in a fair value less than the recorded value of the reporting unit.  As such, Step 2 analysis was performed.  This analysis included a hypothetical valuation of the reporting unit’s long term assets including its gaming and other fixed assets as if as if it had been acquired in a business combination.  For all other assets and liabilities the fair value and recorded values were considered equal.  After the allocation of the fair value to the entities operating assets, the recorded value of the goodwill was in excess of its implied fair value, and as such an impairment adjustment to the carrying value of the goodwill in the amount of $890,000 was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010.


No analysis of impairment was considered necessary for the period ended March 31, 2011.  However, a valuation of the goodwill is performed each June.


Interest Expense


Net interest expense was $83,373 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $125,041 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, and primarily represents regularly scheduled payments on various senior and junior mortgages collateralized by the Bull Durham Saloon and Casino real estate, as well as certain debt incurred to facilitate the acquisition of the Doc Holliday Casino in March 2008.  Interest expense is partially offset by interest income earned on certain cash balances maintained at financial institutions.


Other


Series D Preferred Stock: Holders of our Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of 8% per year, declared quarterly and payable the 15th day of April, July, October and January of each year.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, dividends of $42,622 were declared on the Series D Preferred Stock, of which $28,622 had been paid as of March 31, 2011.  The remaining accrued dividends are included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2011.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, dividends of $42,622 were declared on the Series D Preferred Stock, of which $28,622 had been paid as of March 31, 2010.  The remaining accrued dividends are included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2010.


Net Operating Loss Carryover: For federal income tax purposes, Global has a net operating loss carryover (NOL) approximating $5,800,000, which can be used to offset future taxable income, if any.  Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and the benefits from NOL's are subject to certain limitations including restrictions imposed when there is a loss of business continuity or when ownership changes in excess of 50% of outstanding shares, under certain circumstances.  There is no guarantee that Global will be able to utilize its NOL before it expires and accordingly, no potential benefit has been recorded in the financial statements.


Inflation did not have a material impact on the Company's operations for the period.



43






Other than the foregoing, management knows of no trends, demands, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.



Liquidity and Capital Resources


Our primary source of cash is internally generated through operations.  As of March 31, 2011, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have commercial bank credit facilities.  Consequently, we believe that cash necessary for future operations must be internally generated though our casino operations.  Cash flow at one of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, Bull Durham, has been sufficient to fund operations and we believe that cash flow will be sufficient during the next twelve months to continue our operations.  Cash flows from our other operating subsidiary, Doc Holliday, have not been sufficient to fund its operations and necessary capital improvements, however operating changes we have implemented since its acquisition in March 2008, have stabilized its operating cash flows.  From time to time, we have depended on funds received through debt and equity financing to address operating shortfalls and capital requirements.  We have also relied, from time to time, upon loans from affiliates to meet immediate cash demands.  There can be no assurance that these affiliates or other related parties will continue to provide funds to us in the future if necessary, as there is no legal obligation on these parties to provide such loans.


Effective September 19, 2009, all of the secured obligations of Casinos, USA, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Casinos, Inc. had matured and became due and payable.  The secured obligations are secured by deeds of trust encumbering the Bull Durham Casino property located in Blackhawk, Colorado.


On November 30, 2009 we consummated a Loan Document Purchase and Assignment Agreement with the holder of the senior mortgage of the Bull Durham Casino in which the Company obtained all of the rights, title and interest in and to the Note and Loan Agreement.  The total amount of consideration paid to the holder was $730,710 which included principal of $721,021, interest accrued to the purchase date of $5,689, and a fee of $4,000 to cover legal and administrative costs of the holder.  Also on November 30, 2009 we executed a Loan Participation Agreement whereby the Company assigned to an unaffiliated third party an undivided 34.7% interest in the Note for total consideration of $250,000 and a loan participation fee of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.38 per share.  And on December 30, 2009 the Company executed a Loan Participation Agreement whereby the Company assigned to a director an undivided 2.08% interest in the Note for total consideration of $15,000 and a loan participation fee of 3,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.39 per share.  The remaining undivided 63.22% interest in the Note is owned by the Company and is eliminated in consolidation as the debtor is a wholly owned operating subsidiary.  The Note has not been modified and continues to be in technical default.


On December 30, 2009 we consummated an Allonge and Modification Agreement with the holder of a second deed of trust note on the Bull Durham Casino.  Immediately prior to the modification the Note had a principal balance of $616,988.  Upon execution of the agreement, the Company paid to the note holder a loan extension fee of $2,585, and $8,000 to reimburse the note holder for legal and



44





other costs associated with the modification.  The agreement required a principal pay down of $100,000, monthly principal and interest payments of $5,596 beginning on January 1, 2010, and extended the maturity date of the Note to December 31, 2010.  In December 2010, the Company exercised its option to extend the maturity date of this Note to December 31, 2011 by an additional $50,000 principal pay down of the Note. Subject to the Note not being in default at the maturity date, and together with an additional $50,000 pay down of the Note principal, the Company will have the additional option to extend the maturity date of the Note to December 31, 2012.  After December 31, 2012 the maturity date will only be further extended by written mutual agreement upon terms acceptable to both parties.  


On March 22, 2010, we consummated an Allonge and Modification Agreement with the holder of a junior deed of trust note on the Bull Durham Casino.  Immediately prior to the modification the Note had a principal balance of $176,540.  The agreement requires monthly principal and interest payments of $1,911 beginning on April 1, 2010, and extended the maturity date of the Note to April 1, 2013.


While no additional agreements have been reached as of the date of this report, we have been in communication with the remaining junior mortgage note holders concerning the need to extend the maturity dates of the notes.  Until their maturity, all payments required under the notes had been made in a timely fashion.  We intend to continue to make payments under the notes pending our efforts to renegotiate their maturity dates.


In addition, the note payable to the seller of Doc Holliday Casino acquired in March 2008, matured on March 31, 2009.  The note did not bear interest, however upon its maturity a default interest rate of 8% with interest payments due monthly became effective.  Since default, we have made interest payments under the default terms of the note.  At the request of the note holder and beginning in January 2010, we had been making interest and additional monthly principal reduction payments of $12,500.  Beginning in January 2011, we notified the noteholder that we would not be able to continue making the monthly principal reduction payments on the note during the slower winter months.  With the noteholder’s acquiescence, but not express agreement, we have been making interest only payments and smaller principal reduction payments.  As of March 31, 2011, the note holder has not executed any modification agreement, and as such all the note principal in the amount of $210,667 is considered in technical default and is classified as a current obligation.


At March 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $583,994, substantially all of which was utilized in our casino operations.  Pursuant to state gaming regulations, the casinos are required to maintain cash balances sufficient to pay potential jackpot awards.  Our cash balances at March 31, 2011 were in excess of funds required by gaming regulations.

   

Our working capital improved by $41,635 to a working capital deficit of $(486,054) at March 31, 2011 from a working capital deficit of $(527,689) at June 30, 2010.  The working capital deficit is entirely due to mortgage debt associated with the Bull Durham casino, and debt associated with the acquisition of the Doc Holliday casino now due or maturing within one year, and as such is classified as short-term liabilities at March 31, 2011.  Cash flows generated from our operations have been sufficient to service the monthly installments on our mortgage debt.  As discussed above, we are



45





currently exploring our options to renegotiate or refinance all our remaining debt obligations.  There can be no assurance these efforts will be successful.


Cash provided by operating activities was $276,036 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, operating activities provided net cash of $270,688.  The year-over-year increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of changes in our accrued gaming income during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and represents the deposits of cash held in our gaming machines at March 31, 2011.

 

Cash used in investing activities was $161,068 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, and primarily represents the $120,000 investment in common stock and stock purchase warrants of ImageDoc.com, and purchases of gaming and security equipment.  Cash used in investing activities was $94,291 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010, and represents purchases of gaming and security equipment.


For the year ended June 30, 2011 and depending upon available capital resources, we expect to acquire up to approximately $75,000 in gaming equipment and other capital items, primarily to continue our efforts to upgrade and purchase new slot machines and leasehold improvements at the Doc Holliday Casino designed to improve the customer experience.  We are also contemplating installing a customer tracking system at the Doc Holliday casino similar to the system operating at the Bull Durham casino.  Such a system would require the outlay of approximately $400,000, and as of the date of this report no specific financing has been obtained.


Cash flows used in financing activities were $(109,958) for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, compared to cash used of $(718,577) during the nine months ended March 31, 2010.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 we completed a private offering of securities consisting of $120,000 in 5% Unsecured Convertible Debentures.   The Debentures will mature and be due and payable in July and August 2013.  The principal amount of the Debentures accrue interest at the rate of 5% per annum and will be payable at the maturity date. The Debentures are convertible, at the option of the investor, at any time, into shares of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock at a conversion price equal to $0.25 per share of Series E Preferred.  The Debentures will automatically convert into shares of Series E Preferred Stock under certain circumstances.


Principal payments on debt totaled $166,588 and $213,739 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and represent principal payments on our mortgage debt, debt associated with the acquisition of the Doc Holliday casino, and equipment financing obligations.


As discussed above, on November 30, 2009 we consummated a Loan Document Purchase and Assignment Agreement with the holder of the senior mortgage of the Bull Durham Casino in which the Company obtained all of the rights, title and interest in and to the Note and Loan Agreement.  Also on November 30, 2009 we executed a Loan Participation Agreement whereby the Company assigned to an unaffiliated third party an undivided 34.7% interest in the Note for total consideration of $250,000 and a loan participation fee of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.38 per share.  And on December 30, 2009 the Company executed a Loan Participation Agreement whereby the Company assigned to a director an undivided 2.08% interest in the Note for total consideration of $15,000 and a loan participation fee of 3,000 shares of the Company’s common



46





stock valued at $0.39 per share.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 we made $20,192 and $6,039, respectively, in principal payments under the loan participation agreements.


In March 2008, we completed a private offering of 700,000 shares of Series D Preferred stock with a stated value of $1.00 per share.  The preferred stock is redeemable at any time only at the option of the Company.  At the option of the holder, each preferred share is convertible to one share of the Company’s common stock.  Holders of our Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of 8% per year, declared quarterly and payable the 15th day of April, July, October and January of each year.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, dividends declared on June 30, September 30 and December 31, 2010 and 2009 of $42,778 were paid to the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Securities and Exchange Commission regulation S-K.


Use of Estimates and Assumptions


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Significant estimates included herein relate to the recoverability of assets, the value of long-lived assets and liabilities, including estimates of liabilities incurred under customer rewards programs, the value of share based compensation transactions, the long-term viability of the business, the future impact of gaming regulations, and future obligations under various tax statutes.  Actual results may differ from estimates.


Other than the foregoing, management knows of no trends, demands, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company's liquidity and capital resources.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short-term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.



ITEM  4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


a.  Disclosure Controls and Procedures


The Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, have established and are currently maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company.  The disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


The Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer conducted a review and evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Report, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.     


b.  Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


c. Limitations of any Internal Control Design


Our principal executive and financial officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive



48





and financial officer have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors


The following is an additional risk factor concerning our business as a result of current economic conditions in the United States.

 

Current difficult conditions in the financial services markets may materially and adversely impact our business 


Recent dramatic declines in the values of, among other things, various derivative instruments, credit default swaps and the housing market, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures and unemployment, have resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions, including government-sponsored entities and major commercial and investment banks.  Many lenders and institutional investors have reduced, and in some cases, ceased to provide funding to borrowers, including other financial institutions.  This market turmoil and tightening of credit have also led to an increased level of commercial and consumer delinquencies, lack of consumer confidence, increased market volatility and possibly a general reduction of business activity.  A continuation of these conditions could have, among other things, the following potential negative effects:


1)

A reduction in discretionary spending by consumers could significantly impact the customer traffic and revenues of our casino operations; and,

2)

While we do not depend on credit from the financial markets to finance our operations, all our long-term debt matured during 2009.  The financial markets have experienced disruptions that have had a dramatic impact on the availability and cost of capital and credit.  Our ability to re-finance our matured long-term debt is affected by the current financial market conditions.  If we are successful in obtaining financing of our long-term debt, there can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate rates and terms similar to those we



49





currently have, and such negotiated rates could be significantly higher than those currently existing on our matured long-term debt.
