NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2006, and for the two years then ended, including notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-KSB. Global Casinos, Inc. (the Company or Global), a Utah corporation, develops and operates gaming casinos. 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. As of September 30, 2006, the Companys only operating subsidiary was 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.
Certain amounts in the financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2005 have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
2. Revenue Recognition
In accordance with gaming industry practice, we recognize casino revenues as the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Payouts resulting from our customer loyalty program (Sharpshooters 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 and EITF 00-22, these promotional allowances are presented as a reduction of casino revenues.
3. Earnings per Common Share
Earnings per share ("EPS") are calculated in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings Per Share. SFAS No. 128 requires the Company to report both basic earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all dilutive potential common shares outstanding, except where the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive shares of 135,000 and 0 were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
7
4. 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 casinos revenue is pulled 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 September 30, 2006, $60,668 of income was accrued and recorded as a current asset.
5.
Stock-Based Compensation
During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we adopted the provisions of, and account for stock-based compensation in accordance with, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123revised 2004 (SFAS 123R), Share-Based Payment which replaced` Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, 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. We elected the modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. The valuation provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new grants and to grants that were outstanding as of the effective date and are subsequently modified. Estimated compensation for grants that were outstanding as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost estimated for the SFAS 123 pro forma disclosures.
For the three months ended September 30, 2006 we recorded compensation expense of $20,652 under the requirements as discussed above. No such expense was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
6. Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt
At September 30, 2006, notes payable and long-term debt consisted of the following:
Senior mortgages payable to an investment company, collateralized by real estate, interest at 7%, monthly payments of $6,768 through September 2009. Final payment of $943,000. | $ 984,044 |
Junior mortgages payable to private lenders, collateralized by real estate, interest at 4%, monthly payments of $5,054 through September 2009. Final payment of $909,000 | 977,486 |
8
Installment notes payable to equipment suppliers, bearing interest at various rates from 0% to 6%, due at various times during 2007. |
|
Total notes payable and long-term debt | 2,153,376 |
Less current portion | (226,531) |
Long-term debt, net | $ 1,926,845 |
Effective January 3, 2005, the Company finalized the private placement of convertible debentures that bore interest at 12% and were to mature on December 31, 2007. The debentures were sold at face value for gross proceeds of $500,000 and were secured by a pledge of 100% of our shares of Casinos USA. The debentures were convertible into common stock at a conversion rate of $0.50 per share. Holders of the debentures also received warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. All holders of the debentures agreed that the entire principal amount of the debentures would automatically convert into shares of common stock, and as such the debentures were converted to 1,000,000 shares of common stock on December 31, 2005.
The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on the market price of the common stock at the commitment date. The warrant valuation of $237,000 was allocated to additional paid in capital. After allocating value to the warrants, we used the intrinsic value method to determine that all the remaining proceeds should be allocated to the embedded beneficial conversion feature. As such, $263,000 was credited to additional paid in capital. The total allocation of $500,000 was amortized over 12 months (ending December 31, 2005) to coincide with the term of the conversion feature. Amortization expense during the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $125,000 and is included in interest expense.
7. Related Party Transactions
An officer and director operates a law firm that provides legal services to the Company. During the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, his billings to the Company totaled $21,905 and $2,615 respectively.
A former officer and director provided certain management, accounting, and administrative services to the Company. In December 2005, the former officer and director agreed to reduce his prior accumulated billings by approximately $78,000, to $25,000, to be paid without interest in five equal monthly installments of $5,000 beginning January 1, 2006. The resulting reduction of accounts payable was credited to additional paid-in capital. The officer and director tendered his resignation effective December 31, 2005. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, his billings to the Company for certain management, accounting, and administrative services totaled $9,000.
Effective with the resignation of the officer and director on December 31, 2005 as discussed above, the Company contracted an officer to provide management and accounting services to the Company. During the three months ended September 31, 2006, his billings to the company for services was $10,500.
9
An affiliated company provided management, clerical and administrative services to the Company until December 31, 2005. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Company recorded such fees in the aggregate amount of $12,000.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Michael Jacobs vs. Global Casinos, Inc.
This matter was filed as a civil action, which has been stayed since 1998, pending mandatory arbitration. There has been no action to prosecute the arbitration whatsoever and the matter has been dormant since 1998. Mr. Jacobs was a former employee of the Company in Dallas, Texas and is asserting claims for compensation for services rendered while under the supervision of William P. Martindale at the Company's then existing Dallas, Texas office. The Company believes that the likelihood of a material adverse outcome in this matter is remote.
Leases
Prior to January 2006, the Company leased approximately 4,200 square feet of space used as its corporate offices. The lease required monthly payments of approximately $3,500. A portion of the space was subleased for monthly rental income of approximately $2,500. In January 2006, the lease with the landlord was terminated and assumed by Gunpark Asset Management, LLC (Gunpark), a company operated by the Companys former President and Director. Concurrently, the Company entered into a Shared Services Agreement with Gunpark. The agreement requires Gunpark provide sufficient office space to the Company, and requires the Company make monthly payments directly to the landlord of $3,000. The monthly payment is allocated as $2,000 to rent expense, and $1,000 to clerical services. The agreement terminates on December 31, 2006 unless extended by mutual agreement.
At September 30, 2006 the minimum required payments through the remaining term of the Shared Services Agreement for fiscal year 2007 are $9,000.
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 mainly of net operating loss carry-forwards.
The reconciliation between the statutory federal tax rate and the effective tax rate as a percentage is as follows:
10
2006 | 2005 | ||
Statutory federal income tax rate | 34% | 34% | |
Effect of net operating loss carry-forward | (34) | (34) | |
-% | -% |
At September 30, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $6,226,000 available to reduce future taxable income.
10. 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 has agreed to make an initial cash capital contribution to GGT of $100,000, for which it will receive a 25% equity interest in GGT. At the Companys election, it may make an additional $100,000 cash capital contribution to GGT for which it will receive an additional 25% equity interest. It is anticipated that 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 and neither has been approved for use in any gaming jurisdiction. The investment is being accounted for under the equity method. However, at this time GGT is considered to be in an early development stage as its expenditures have been developmental in nature and the entity has no revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 there have been no material transactions and as such we have not recognized any income or expense associated with this investment.
As of September 30, 2006, the Company has made cash payments to GGT of $20,000 as part of the initial $100,000 cash capital payments required under the Agreement. The remaining $80,000 obligation was recorded as a current liability.

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. At September 30, 2006, our operations consisted solely of the Bull Durham Saloon & Casino in Black Hawk, Colorado.
Our operations are seasonal. The Bull Durham experiences 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 license is 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 September 30, 2006 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2005
We recognized net income of $155,553 ($.03 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to net income of $67,706 ($0.02 per share) for the same period in 2005. The primary difference is attributable to a significant decrease in interest expense associated with certain debt that was converted to common stock on December 31, 2005 as discussed below and elsewhere in this report.
Revenues
Casino revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $1,063,404 compared to $1,076,980 for the 2005 period, a decrease of $13,576 or 1.3%. While our total coin-in was up by approximately 5% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 over the comparable period in 2005, our hold percentage was down slightly by .4% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 over the comparable period in 2005.
Promotional allowances include redemptions associated with our Sharpshooters Club which awards customers with cash payouts dependent upon the frequency and amount of their gaming activities on our
12
slot machines. The total allowances increased $22,635 from $31,918 to $54,553 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively. The primary reasons for the increase is due to the increase in coin-in as discussed above, and a change in our estimate of the expected redemption rates under the program during the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Operating Expenses
Casino operating expenses increased to $763,676 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $761,642 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, a slight increase of $2,034. Our costs increased by .3% while our revenues decreased by 3.5%. The largest component of cost increase came from expenses associated with the installation and maintenance of our slot machines. The addition of several new slot machines resulted in an increase in depreciation expense of $9,417, from $111,555 to $120,972 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively. In addition, costs associated with the repair and maintenance of our existing slot machines increased by $15,424 from $9,557 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $24,981 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase is the result of continued efforts to upgrade and maintain the quality and appearance of the machines in order to provide the best customer experience possible. Total payroll costs were $265,049 and $282,659 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease of $17,610 primarily resulted from a decrease in Bull Durham employee bonus accruals expected to be paid in December 2006. Marketing and promotional costs were $88,882 and $83,182 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively. The increase of $5,700 is attributable to increased direct marketing efforts to attract and maintain customer loyalty. We also realized a savings of approximately $5,000 in janitorial expenses resulting from a change in our cleaning service provider. Other than that noted above, neither period included any unusual items or significant fluctuations.
General and administrative expenses increased from $47,444 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $64,528 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $17,084 or 36%. The increase is attributable to $20,652 of stock based compensation expense associated with certain stock options granted in April 2006. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we adopted the provisions of, and account for stock-based compensation in accordance with, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123revised 2004 (SFAS 123R), Share-Based Payment which replaced` Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, 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. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, 33,750 stock options vested. The remaining 33,750 stock options associated with the April 2006 grant will fully vest on December 31, 2006, which will result in a similar expense during the second quarter ending December 31, 2006. Other than the stock-based compensation expense, neither period included any unusual items.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $25,094 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $168,270 for the similar period in 2005. During 2005, we issued 12% convertible debentures with detachable warrants and a beneficial conversion feature. Included in interest expense for the three months ended September
13
30, 2005 is $125,000 of amortization attributable to the debt discounting resulting from the valuation of the detachable warrants and beneficial conversion feature. Interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 is attributed to regularly scheduled payments on various senior and junior mortgages collateralized by the Bull Durham Saloon and Casino real estate. Monthly interest expense is expected to continue to decrease as the principal balances of our mortgage notes continue to decrease through normal debt service.
Other
For federal income tax purposes, Global has a net operating loss carryover (NOL) approximating $6,226,000, 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. Thus, there is no guarantee that Global will be able to utilize its NOL before it expires and 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary source of cash is internally generated through operations. Historically, cash generated from operations has not been sufficient to satisfy working capital requirements and capital expenditures. Consequently, we have depended on funds received through debt and equity financing to address these shortfalls. 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, as there is no legal obligation on these parties to provide such loans.
As of September 30, 2006, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have commercial bank credit facilities. Consequently, we believe that cash necessary for future operating needs must be internally generated though operations. Cash flow at the Companys sole operating subsidiary has been sufficient to fund operations at that subsidiary and we believe that cash flow will be sufficient during the next twelve months to continue operation of the subsidiary.
At September 30, 2006, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,476,226, substantially all of which was utilized in our casino operations. Pursuant to state gaming regulations, the casino is required to maintain cash balances sufficient to pay potential jackpot awards. Our cash balance at September 30, 2006 was in excess of funds required by gaming regulations.
Our working capital improved by $555,110 to $863,755 at September 30, 2006 from $308,645 at June 30, 2006, primarily because of cash flow from operating activities.

Cash provided by operating activities was $382,926 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. For the same period in 2005, operating activities provided net cash of $268,463. The increase in cash provided by operating activities of $114,463 was primarily the result of the increase in our net income resulting from reduced interest expense as discussed above.
Cash used in investing activities was $29,358 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 included $11,559 in cash purchases of gaming equipment. Additional gaming equipment valued at $99,772 was acquired in a vendor financing arrangement which requires monthly payments of $8,314 through August 2007. In addition, the Bull Durham entered into a contract to provide a new roof for its existing facility. The total contract estimate was $15,518 and required a 50% down payment of $7,759, which was paid in September 2006. For the year ended June 30, 2007 we expect to spend approximately $300,000 in capital expenditures primarily to continue our efforts to upgrade and purchase new slot machines. We expect much of this activity to continue to be short-term financed by our vendors under favorable terms. We used net cash of $9,337 in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2005, also for capital expenditures.
On February 28, 2006, we 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). GGT was formed for the purpose of bringing to market two games of poker developed by the other party to the agreement, whose contribution included all of his intellectual property rights related to the two games which he developed. Under the terms of the agreement we agreed to make an initial cash contribution to GGT of $100,000 in exchange for a 25% equity interest. As of September 30, 2006, we had made cash contributions totaling $20,000. The balance due of $80,000 under the terms of the agreement has been recorded as a current liability. The timing of the future cash payments required under the agreement is dependent upon the cash requirements of GGT to execute its business plan. Also under the terms of the agreement, we have the option to make additional cash contribution of $100,000 in exchange for an additional 25% equity interest. We are currently accounting for our investment under the equity method. However, at this time we consider GGT to be in an early development stage as its expenditures have been developmental in nature and the entity has no revenues. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 there have been no material transactions and as such we have not recognized any income or expense associated with this investment.
Cash flows used in financing activities decreased $60,292 to $59,250 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to cash used of $119,542 in 2005, both representing regular scheduled payments on our debt. The decrease is primarily attributable to payments made in 2005 for the vendor short-term financing purchase of the Oasis Casino Management System.
Effective January 3, 2005 the Company finalized the private placement of convertible debentures that bore interest at 12% and were to mature on December 31, 2007. The debentures were sold at face value for gross proceeds of $500,000 and were secured by a pledge of 100% of our shares of Casinos USA. The debentures are convertible into common stock at a conversion rate of $0.50 per share. Holders of the debentures also received warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. All holders of the debentures agreed that the entire principal amount of the debentures would automatically convert into shares of common stock on
15
December 31, 2005 and as such the debentures were converted to 1,000,000 shares of common stock on December 31, 2005.
The warrants were valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model based on the market price of the common stock at the commitment date. The warrant valuation of $237,000 was allocated to additional paid in capital. After allocating value to the warrants, we used the intrinsic value method to determine that all the remaining proceeds should be allocated to the embedded beneficial conversion feature. As such, $263,000 was credited to additional paid in capital. The total allocation of $500,000 was amortized over 12 months (ending December 31, 2005) to coincide with the term of the conversion feature. Amortization expense during the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $125,000 and is included in interest expense.
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, 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. 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.
16
The Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer conducted an update 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 accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and we refer you to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e).
In addition, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have determined that there has occurred no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during or subsequent to the three month period ended September 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is (as that term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
