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

March 31, 2009

(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, 2009, 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.  Doc Holliday Casino II, LLC was incorporated in the state of Colorado on June 15, 2007 for the purpose of acquiring substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of the Doc Holliday Casino, and to operate the casino.  The acquisition was completed on March 18, 2008.  The results of Doc Holliday's operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date.  


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.


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.




11





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.  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, 2009, the Company had approximately $225,000 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.  Except for long-term debt, the carrying value of financial instruments approximated fair value due to their short maturities.


The carrying value of long-term debt 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 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, 2009 and June 30, 2008, $148,746 and $219,821 of income, respectively, was accrued and recorded as a current asset.

  



12





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, 2009 and 2008 was $465,181 and $358,388, respectively.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal 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.  Management believes that as of March 31, 2009, there is no impairment in the carrying value of its long-lived assets.


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 and EITF 00-22, 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 $420 and $1,310 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


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



13





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


Earnings (or loss) per share ("EPS") are calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 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 86,376 and 38,077 were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.  

Stock-Based Compensation


During the year ended June 30, 2007, we adopted the provisions of, and account for stock-based compensation in accordance with, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123—revised 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.


On August 29, 2008, the Company’s board of directors granted a total of 90,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its members and certain members of senior management as compensation for past services.  The services were valued at $.50 per share, and as such $45,000 of stock based compensation was recorded and included in operating, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.


For the nine months ended March 31, 2008 we recorded no compensation expense under the requirements as discussed above.





14





Comprehensive Income


SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no differences between reported net income and comprehensive income.


Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities


SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, established requirements 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 SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.  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


In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. The FSP states that in developing assumptions about renewal or extension options used to determine the useful life of an intangible asset, an entity needs to consider its own historical experience adjusted for entity-specific factors. In the absence of that experience, an entity shall consider the assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension options. This FSP is to be applied to intangible assets acquired after January 1, 2009. The adoption of this FSP did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (APB) 28-1 Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The FSP amends SFAS No. 107 Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments to require an entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information. This FSP is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The adoption of this FSP is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2009 and 2008, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operations, or cash flows.

2.     ACQUISITION


On March 18, 2008 the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of the Doc Holliday Casino (“Casino”).  The results of the Casino have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date.  The Casino is a limited stakes gaming establishment located in Central City, Colorado and is generally considered to be in the same market and gaming environment as the Bull Durham Saloon and Casino.  We anticipate our acquisition of the Casino will allow us to benefit from joint marketing efforts, and to a lesser degree reduce its administrative operating expenses through economies of scale.


The purchase was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations.  Under the purchase method of accounting, the total purchase price, including transaction costs, is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their fair values at the completion of the transaction.  The aggregate purchase price was $2,900,471, including $1,665,376 in cash, 450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $.75 per share totaling $337,500, and a business personal property appraisal expense of $7,000, as well as $365,580 of liabilities assumed, and new short-term debt of $525,015.  The value of the common stock was determined by the average of the closing prices of the Company’s common stock for the day prior through the day after the closing of the acquisition.  Two notes payable were issued to the seller by Doc Holliday II, LLC.  The first note was a 0% interest note of $400,000, and was due in full on or before March 31, 2009, and was valued at $369,345 using a discount rate of 8%.  The second note in the amount of $155,670, is an 8% installment note requiring monthly principal and interest payments of $13,541, and matured on March 18, 2009.


The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition.  Intangible assets purchased have been determined to have minimal value, and as such none have been recorded.

4.     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.



17






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 December 31, 2008.  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, 2009 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, 2009 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



18





date of issue and payable on the fifteenth day of April, July, October and January.  The dividends 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 June 30, 2008, $14,156 of dividends were declared and subsequently paid in July.  On September 30, 2008, $14,311 of dividends were declared and subsequently paid in October.   On December 31, 2008, $14,311 of dividends were declared and subsequently paid in January.  On March 31, 2009, $14,000 of dividends were declared and are included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2009.


Common Stock


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


On August 29, 2008, the Company’s board of directors granted a total of 90,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its members and certain members of senior management as compensation for past services.  The services were valued at $.50 per share, and as such $45,000 of stock based compensation was recorded and included in operating, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.


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 discretion of our Board of Directors to be implemented in the future as and when determined by our Board of Directors.


5.     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 if the total building expenses increase by more than 3% over a base year calculation.  Net rent expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was $219,926.  At March 31, 2009 the total credit available to apply against future minimum rent payments through July 31, 2009 was $16,545, and is included in other current assets.  Future minimum lease payments for the fiscal years ending June 30 are as follows:

6.     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.


For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the reconciliation between the statutory federal tax rate and the effective tax rate as a percentage is as follows:

At June 30, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $5,585,000 available to reduce future taxable income.  The net operating loss carry forwards expire in the years ending June 30 as follows:

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 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, 2008, 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



20





of approximately $1,900,000 is offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operating loss carry forwards.  The net decrease in the valuation allowance was approximately $29,000 from June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008.


7.     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.

During the year ended June 30, 2007, we adopted the provisions of, and account for stock-based compensation in accordance with, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123—revised 2004 (“SFAS 123R”), “Share-Based Payment” which replaced` Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), “Accounting



21





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.


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.


The following table sets forth fair value per share information, including related assumptions, used to determine compensation cost for the Company’s stock options consistent with the requirements of SFAS No. 123(R) for 2008 and 2007:

For the year ended June 30, 2007 we recorded compensation expense of $70,631, under the requirements as discussed above.  No such expense was recorded for the year ended June 30, 2008 under the stock incentive plan.  No options or warrants to purchase common stock were granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

During the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options was $-0- and $6,500, respectively.  No stock options were exercised during the nine months ended March 31, 2009.



8.     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 basis by verbal agreement.  The agreement requires the Company pay the consultant a fee equal to $50,000 payable in sums of not less than $10,000 per month.  For the year ended June 30, 2008, $28,320 was charged to operating, general and administrative expenses.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, $21,680 was charged to operating, general and administrative expenses.


In August 2008, we entered into an agreement with a marketing firm to provide investor relations services. The agreement had an original term of six months and has been extended on a month to month basis, and requires a monthly fee of $2,000.


9.     RELATED PARTIES


An officer and director operates a law firm that provides legal services to the Company.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, his billings to the Company totaled $50,403 and $59,003 respectively.  At June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2009, amounts due to him were $63,832 and $13,931, respectively, and are included in accounts payable, related parties.


In 2006, the Company contracted an officer to provide management and accounting services to the Company.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, his billings to the company for services were $23,850 and $21,500, respectively.  At June 30, 2008, and March 31, 2009, amounts due him were $4,500 and $2,850, respectively, and are included in accounts payable, related parties.  In addition, in June 2008, $8,000 of amounts due to the officer for prior services was converted to common stock.  As a result, 12,308 shares valued at $0.65 per share were issued.


On August 29, 2008, the Company awarded an aggregate of 90,000 shares of common stock, $.05 par value, valued at $0.50 per share in consideration of services provided by the Company’s directors and executive officers.


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 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



23





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 and neither has been approved for use in any gaming jurisdiction.  As of March 31, 2009, 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, 2009 and 2008 we have recorded $6,743 and $7,126, respectively, for various GGT product development expenditures.  Since February 2006, we have recorded $45,896, cumulatively, for various GGT start-up, product development and marketing costs.

  

As of March 31, 2009, the Company has made cash payments to GGT of $71,850 as part of the initial $100,000 cash capital payments required under the Agreement.  The remaining $28,150 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.


As of March 31, 2009, 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.  Doc Holliday Casino II, LLC was incorporated in the state of Colorado on June 15, 2007 for the purpose of acquiring substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of the Doc Holliday Casino, and to operate the casino.  The acquisition was completed on March 18, 2008.  The results of Doc Holliday's operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date.  


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, 2009 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008


We recognized a net loss attributable to common shareholders after $14,000 of dividends on our Series D preferred stock of $(25,213) ($(0.00) per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders after $3,700 of dividends on our Series D preferred stock of $(50,951) ($0.01 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease in our net loss is primarily attributable to improved revenues at the Bull Durham Casino.


Revenues


Casino revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $1,627,142 compared to $966,364 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $660,778 or 68.4%.  Total full period revenues for the Bull Durham were $1,010,566 and $887,418 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a period over period increase of 14%.  Revenues for Doc Holliday were $616,576 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Doc Holliday revenues for the same period in 2008 included only revenues for the period March 19 through March 31, as discussed above.  The full period coin-in for the Bull Durham casino was up 9.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 over the three months ended March 31, 2008, and we also experienced a 0.24% increase in our hold percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2009 over the three months ended March 31, 2008.


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 $4,656 from $38,590 to $43,246 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.


Operating Expenses


Casino operations:  Includes all expenses associated with the operations of the Bull Durham Casino for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.  As noted elsewhere, operations for the Doc Holliday Casino began on March 19, 2008, and therefore expenses attributable to Doc Holliday for the three months ended March 31, 2008 include only thirteen days.  The following table summarizes such expenses for comparison and discussion purposes:

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 51.0% increase is primarily attributable to Doc Holliday operations.  Total labor and benefits costs for the Bull Durham operations decreased slightly by $2,149 from $318,769 to $316,620 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  Total labor and benefits costs as a percentage of casino revenues decreased from 37.6% to 33.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, 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.  Approximately $137,000 of the increase is attributed to the Doc Holliday operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The remaining approximately $4,000 of the increase is attributed to increased promotional activity at the Bull Durham Casino primarily resulting from an increase in customer mailings which is designed to drive customers to the casino.


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 increase of $30,611 is primarily attributable to depreciation of the furniture and fixtures, and gaming assets of the Doc Holliday Casino for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  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.




27





Food & Beverage: Includes all costs associated with our bar and limited menu food services.  The $32,259 increase for the three months ended March 31, 2008 is primarily the result of Doc Holliday operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Total food and beverage costs as a percentage of casino revenues decreased slightly from 5.7% to 5.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, 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.  The slight increase of $3,510 is primarily attributable to Doc Holliday operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Total repair, maintenance and supplies costs as a percentage of casino revenues decreased from 5.4% to 3.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.


Device Fees: Includes fees paid to the local jurisdictions of the casinos based on the number of slot machines in operation.  The increase of $65,165 is attributed entirely to Doc Holliday operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009.


Professional Fees: Includes all costs and fees associated with legal services, accounting and auditing services, and the Board of Directors of Casinos USA (d/b/a The Bull Durham Saloon & Casino).  The increase of $4,200 is attributed to accounting and auditing accruals for the Doc Holliday operations at March 31, 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 $5,000 is attributed to Doc Holliday operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  Total insurance, taxes and licenses as a percentage of casino revenues decreased from 4.9% to 3.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.


Utilities & Telephone: Includes all costs associated with the casinos’ telephone systems, cell phone usage, and utility costs.  The increase of $15,599 is primarily attributed to the Doc Holliday operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and to a lesser degree general increases in utility costs, particularly water, gas and electricity.  Total utilities and telephone costs as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly from 2.8% to 2.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, 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.  Effective August 1, 2008, the monthly lease payments escalated to $25,362 from $17,029 per month.  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, 2009, prepaid rent credits available to offset future rent payments through June 30, 2009 was $16,545 and are recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets.  For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the total cash paid for rent at the Casino was $58,113.




28





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, and lease costs associated with off-site storage units.  Total other casino expenses as a percentage of revenues was 3.3% and 2.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, 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, stock-based compensation costs relating to the company’s executive officers, directors, and subsidiary management.  


For the three months ended March 31, 2009, total operating, general, and administrative costs were $43,301, as compared to $26,276 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, a net increase of $17,025 or 64.8%, and is primarily attributable to certain charge-backs to the Doc Holliday operating subsidiary totaling approximately $20,000 for expenses paid in prior periods by the parent company on behalf of Doc Holliday during the purchase of the casino, including license fees and appraisal fees. In addition, we have realized marginal increases in our legal and accounting services attributed to management and accounting efforts by our corporate officers associated with the operations of the Doc Holliday Casino acquired in March 2008, and exploration of our financing options regarding the maturity of our long term mortgage obligations which mature in September 2009.


Corporate occupancy: Prior to January 2006, we 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 Company’s former President and Director.  Concurrently, the Company entered into a Shared Services Agreement with Gunpark.  The agreement required 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 was allocated as $2,000 to rent expense, and $1,000 to clerical services.  In March 2008, the agreement was modified by both parties due to changes in the delivery of clerical services to be provided under the previous agreement.  By mutual agreement of both parties, the current agreement expired June 1, 2008.  Net rent expense after giving effect to sublease income received was $-0- and $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is included in operating, general and administrative expenses.  Upon termination of the Shared Services Agreement, we began utilizing certain office functions and systems managed by the Company’s president and chief executive officer in Boulder, Colorado.  As such, we have significantly reduced our corporate office space requirements and do not expect additional further office space or services will be required under the current corporate operating structure.


Other than the above discussed items, there were no significant variances in operating, general, and administrative costs between the comparable periods.





29






Stock based compensation: In fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, we adopted the provisions of, and account for stock-based compensation in accordance with, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123—revised 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 we recognized no stock based compensation costs.

 

Interest Expense


Interest expense was $37,355 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $21,689 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, 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.  The increase is generally attributable to new debt associated with the acquisition of the Doc Holliday Casino in March 2008, and to a lesser degree an increase in the interest rate in March 2008 from 7% to 12% on the senior mortgage secured by the Bull Durham Casino.  Interest expense is partially offset by interest income earned on certain cash balances maintained at financial institutions.



Other


Global Gaming Technologies: 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.  At the present time, both games are still under development and neither has been approved for use in any gaming jurisdiction.  At this time GGT has no revenues and none are expected until such time that patent protections are secured and significant marketing of the games can commence.  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 and organizational costs.  For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 we recorded $60 and $904, respectively, for various GGT organizational, product development and marketing expenditures.


Series D Preferred Stock: In March 2008 we sold 700,000 shares of Series D preferred stock at its stated value of $1.00 per share.  The proceeds from the sale were used as partial compensation to the seller of the Doc Holliday casino.  The holders of the preferred shares are entitled to receive



30





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, 2009, dividends of $14,000 were declared on the Series D Preferred Stock.  Dividends of $3,700 were declared for the period ended March 31, 2008.


Net Operating Loss Carryover: For federal income tax purposes, Global has a net operating loss carryover (NOL) approximating $5,600,000, 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.  We do not believe the acquisition of Doc Holliday will result in impairment of our NOL.  However, 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, 2009 Compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2008


We recognized a net loss attributable to common shareholders after $42,662 of dividends on our Series D preferred stock of $(217,956) ($(0.04) per share) for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders after dividends of $3,700, of $71,220 ($0.01 per share) for the nine months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease in our net income attributable to common shareholders is primarily due to the preferred stock dividends, increases in our corporate expenses of approximately $96,000 and operating results of the Doc Holliday Casino which contributed a net loss of approximately $(253,000) during the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  We assumed the operations of the Doc Holliday Casino on March 19, 2008.  We are currently taking steps to improve its operations through improvements in its marketing strategies, floor operations, and to its customer loyalty programs.

Revenues


Casino revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 were $4,884,500 compared to $2,829,589 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $2,054,911 or 72.6%.  Total full period revenues for the Bull Durham were $2,974,853, while revenues for Doc Holliday were $1,909,647 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  The full period coin-in for the Bull Durham casino was up 6.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 over the nine months ended March 31, 2008, and we also experienced a 0.09% increase in our hold percentage for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 over the nine months ended March 31, 2008.


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 $4,914 from $115,241 to $120,155 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.


Operating Expenses


Casino operations:  Includes all expenses associated with the operations of the Bull Durham Casino and the Doc Holliday casino for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.  As noted elsewhere, operations for the Doc Holliday Casino began on March 19, 2008, and therefore expenses attributable to Doc Holliday for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 include only thirteen days.  The following table summarizes such expenses for comparison and discussion purposes:

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 71.7% increase is primarily attributable to Doc Holliday operations.  Total labor and benefits costs for the Bull Durham operations increased 5.3%, from $940,298 to $989,996 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively, and are primarily attributed to normal annual merit increases and performance bonuses.  Total labor and benefits costs as a percentage of casino revenues decreased slightly from 34.8% to 34.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, 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.  Approximately $470,000 of the increase is attributed to the Doc Holliday operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  The remaining approximately $46,000 of the increase is attributed to increased promotional activity at the Bull Durham Casino including charter bus arrangements and customer mailings which are both designed to drive customers to the casino.


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 increase of $106,793 is attributable to depreciation of the furniture and fixtures, and gaming assets of the Doc Holliday Casino for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  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.  The $114,083 increase from the nine months ended March 31, 2008 is primarily the result of Doc Holliday operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  Total food and beverage costs as a percentage of casino revenues is unchanged at 5.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.


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.  The increase of $47,667 is primarily attributable to Doc Holliday operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  Total repair, maintenance and supplies costs as a percentage of casino revenues decreased from 4.4% to 3.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.


Device Fees: Includes fees paid to the local jurisdictions of the casinos based on the number of slot machines in operation.  The increase of $195,802 is attributed entirely to Doc Holliday operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.


Professional Fees: Includes all costs and fees associated with legal services, accounting and auditing services, and the Board of Directors of Casinos USA (d/b/a The Bull Durham Saloon & Casino).  The increase of $39,736 is primarily attributed to a bonus paid to the directors of Casinos USA in November 2008, and accounting and auditing accruals for the Doc Holliday operations at March 31, 2009.




33





Insurance, Taxes & Licenses: Includes all non-payroll taxes, liability and property insurance, and licenses associated with the operation of the casinos.  The increase of $66,679 is attributed to Doc Holliday operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  Total insurance, taxes and licenses as a percentage of casino revenues increased slightly from 2.9% to 3.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.


Utilities & Telephone: Includes all costs associated with the casinos’ telephone systems, cell phone usage, and utility costs.  The increase of $77,295 is primarily attributed to the Doc Holliday operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, and to a lesser degree general increases in utility costs, particularly water, gas and electricity.  Total utilities and telephone costs as a percentage of revenues increased from 2.3% to 2.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009, 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.  Effective August 1, 2008, the monthly lease payments escalated to $25,362 from $17,029 per month.  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, 2009, prepaid rent credits available to offset future rent payments through June 30, 2009 was $16,545 and are recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, the total cash paid for rent at the Casino was $165,451.


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, and lease costs associated with off-site storage units.  Total other casino expenses as a percentage of revenues was 1.9% and 1.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, 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, stock-based compensation costs relating to the company’s executive officers, directors, and subsidiary management, and occupancy costs associated with the corporate office.  


For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, total operating, general, and administrative costs were $221,440, as compared to $124,937 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, a net increase of $96,503 or 77.2%, and is attributable to three primary factors as well as the corporate occupancy costs discussed below.  First, on September 2, 2008 the Company awarded an aggregate of 90,000 shares of common stock valued at $45,000 ($.50 per share) in consideration of services provided by the Company’s directors and executive officers.  No stock compensation expense was incurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2008.  Second, on April 1, 2008 we entered into a consulting agreement with an independent contractor to provide corporate development services.  The agreement required us to pay the consultant a fee equal to $50,000 payable in sums of not less



34





than $10,000 per month.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2009, $21,680 was charged to consulting expense.  No consulting expense was incurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2008.  Finally, during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 we have realized increases in our legal and accounting services of approximately $27,000 attributed to management and accounting efforts by our corporate officers associated with the operations of the Doc Holliday Casino acquired in March 2008, and exploration of our financing options regarding the maturity of our long term mortgage obligations which mature in September 2009.


Corporate occupancy: Prior to January 2006, we 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 Company’s former President and Director.  Concurrently, the Company entered into a Shared Services Agreement with Gunpark.  The agreement required 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 was allocated as $2,000 to rent expense, and $1,000 to clerical services.  In March 2008, the agreement was modified by both parties due to changes in the delivery of clerical services to be provided under the previous agreement.  By mutual agreement of both parties, the current agreement expired June 1, 2008.  Net rent expense after giving effect to sublease income received was $-0- and $18,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and is included in operating, general and administrative expenses.  Upon termination of the Shared Services Agreement, we began utilizing certain office functions and systems managed by the Company’s president and chief executive officer in Boulder, Colorado.  As such, we have significantly reduced our corporate office space requirements and do not expect additional further office space or services will be required under the current corporate operating structure.


Other than the above discussed items, there were no significant variances in operating, general, and administrative costs between the comparable periods.


Stock based compensation: In fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, we adopted the provisions of, and account for stock-based compensation in accordance with, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123—revised 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. For the nine months ended March 31, 2009 we recognized $45,000 of stock based compensation associated with the stock awards to the Company’s directors and executive officers as discussed above.  No stock compensation expense was incurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2008.




35





Interest Expense


Interest expense was $120,009 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $61,581 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, 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.  The increase is generally attributable to the debt issued associated with the acquisition of the Doc Holliday Casino in March 2008, and to a lesser degree an increase in the interest rate in March 2008 from 7% to 12% on the senior mortgage secured by the Bull Durham Casino.  Interest expense is partially offset by interest income earned on certain cash balances maintained at financial institutions.


Loss on asset disposals


During the nine months ended March 31, 2009 we disposed certain casino equipment with a book value of $3,143, for which we received $400.  The resulting $2,743 loss was recorded as a loss on asset disposals.  No disposals were made during the nine months ended March 31, 2008.


Other


Global Gaming Technologies: 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.  At the present time, both games are still under development and neither has been approved for use in any gaming jurisdiction.  At this time GGT has no revenues and none are expected until such time that patent protections are secured and significant marketing of the games can commence.  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 and organizational costs.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 we recorded $6,743 and $7,126, respectively, for various GGT organizational, product development and marketing expenditures.


Series D Preferred Stock: In March 2008 we sold 700,000 shares of Series D preferred stock at its stated value of $1.00 per share.  The proceeds from the sale were used as partial compensation to the seller of the Doc Holliday casino.  The holders of the preferred shares 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, 2008, dividends of $42,622 were declared on the Series D Preferred Stock, of which $28,622 had been paid as of March 31, 2008.  The remaining unpaid dividends declared on March 31, 2009 are included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2009.


Net Operating Loss Carryover: For federal income tax purposes, Global has a net operating loss carryover (NOL) approximating $5,600,000, 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



36





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.  We do not believe the acquisition of Doc Holliday will result in impairment of our NOL.  However, 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.



Liquidity and Capital Resources


Our primary source of cash is internally generated through operations.  As of March 31, 2009, 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 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.  We have not had sufficient time to determine if cash flows from our other operating subsidiary, Doc Holliday, will be sufficient to fund its operations.  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.


At March 31, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,305,104, 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, 2009 were in excess of funds required by gaming regulations.

   

Our working capital decreased by $1,520,808 to a working capital deficit of $(1,411,195) at March 31, 2009 from working capital of $109,613 at June 30, 2008.  The decrease in our working capital is entirely due to our mortgage debt 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, 2009.  Cash flows generated from our operations have been sufficient to service the monthly installments on the mortgage debt.  We are currently exploring options to refinance all our debt.  There can be no assurance these efforts will be successful.  In the event such efforts are not successful, we intend to work with the various creditors to extend or restructure the outstanding debt.


Cash provided by operating activities was $547,137 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, operating activities provided net cash of $364,724.  The increase in cash provided by operating activities of $182,413 was primarily the result of increases in certain non-cash charges including depreciation, stock based compensation, and amortization of a



37





debt discount, as well as favorable changes in certain operating assets and liabilities during the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

 

Cash used by investing activities was $113,352 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, and represents purchases of gaming and security equipment, as well as $400 of proceeds received on the disposal of certain equipment.  Also during the nine months ended March 31, 2009 we acquired $51,606 of gaming equipment in non-cash vendor financing arrangements.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2008 we purchased a total of $38,532 of gaming equipment.  In addition, we acquired $44,804 of gaming equipment in non-cash vendor financing arrangements.  Lacking other financing options, we expect some of the equipment financing activity to continue to be short-term financing by our vendors under similar terms.


For the year ended June 30, 2009 we expect to acquire approximately $200,000 in gaming equipment and other capital items, primarily to continue our efforts to upgrade and purchase new slot machines and 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.


On March 18, 2008 we completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets and certain liabilities of the Doc Holliday casino.  The Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Agreement”) required us to deposit into escrow $100,000 as earnest money, which was done during fiscal year 2007.  Upon closing of the acquisition, these funds were released from escrow.  The aggregate purchase price was $2,900,471, including $1,665,376 in cash, 450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $.75 per share totaling $337,500, and a business personal property appraisal expense of $7,000, as well as $365,580 of liabilities assumed, and new short-term debt of $525,015.


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 under development by the other party to the agreement, whose contribution included all of his intellectual property rights related to the two games which he developed.  At the present time, both games are still under development and neither has been approved for use in any gaming jurisdiction.  At this time GGT has no revenues and none are expected until such time that patent protections are secured and marketing of the games can commence.  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 March 31, 2009, we had made total cash contributions totaling $71,850.  The balance due of $28,150 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.  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 and marketing costs.




38





Cash flows used by financing activities were $292,097 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, compared to cash provided of $447,684 during the nine months ended March 31, 2008.  Principal payments on our long term debt totaled $249,319 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009, and represents principal payments on our mortgage debt, debt associated with the acquisition of the Doc Holliday casino, and equipment financing obligations.  Principal payments on long term debt totaled $302,316 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, and represents principal payments on our mortgage debt and equipment financing obligations.


In March 2008, we completed a private offering of 700,000 shares of Series D Preferred stock.  The preferred stock has a stated value of $1.00 per share, and its holders are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of 8% per year, declared quarterly and payable on the 15th day of April, July, October and January of each year.  The dividends are cumulative and may be paid in cash, or at the option of the holder in shares of the Company’s common stock valued at the market price on the dividend record date.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2009, dividends declared totaling $42,778 were paid.  On March 31, 2009 dividends totaling $14,000 were declared and are included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2009.  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.  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.


Also in March 2008, the Company completed a private offering of 100,000 shares of common stock at a price of $.50 per share.  The proceeds of $50,000 received from the sale were also used as partial payment to the seller of Doc Holliday at the acquisition closing on March 18, 2008.  


Corporate Development Consulting Agreement


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 basis by verbal agreement.  The agreement requires the Company pay the consultant a fee equal to $50,000 payable in sums of not less than $10,000 per month.  Through March 31, 2009 a total of $50,000 has been charged on the contract, of which $40,000 had been paid to the consultant as of March 31, 2009.  The remaining $10,000 on the consulting contract is included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2009.


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.




39





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, 2009 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 and financial officer have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at



41





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 


Dramatic declines in the values of, among other things, various derivative instruments, credit default swaps and the housing market during the prior year, 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 matures during 2009.  Within the past several months, the financial markets have experienced disruption that has had a dramatic impact on the availability and cost of capital and credit.  Our ability to re-finance our maturing long-term debt will likely be 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 currently have, and such negotiated rates could be significantly higher than those currently existing on our long-term debt.
