TRANS WORLD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except for share data)

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.              Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Trans World Corporation and Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “TWC”) as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature to fairly present the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods.  The financial statements of all foreign subsidiaries consolidated herein have been converted in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for financial presentation purposes.  All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company according to the instructions for Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B.  Pursuant to these instructions, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in such consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis or plan of operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur for the year ending December 31, 2007.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP.

 

2.              Commitments and Contingencies

 

Lease Obligations - The Company is obligated through 2011 under several operating leases.  Future aggregate minimum annual rental payments under all of these leases for the next four years are as follows:

$

2009

2011

Rent expense under these operating leases was approximately $74 and $71 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company is also obligated under certain five-year, slot equipment operating leases, which include a monthly rental fee per slot machine, and an option for upgrades to newer machines.  In the third quarter of 2007, the Company’s slot lease expenses were approximately $482 versus $409 in the comparable period in 2006 and $1,390 versus $1,823 for the first nine months of 2007 versus the same period in 2006.

 

Employment Agreements - The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain of its executives, which provide for annual compensation, plus in most cases, participation in future benefit programs and stock options plans.  As of September 30, 2007, $138 of annual compensation, payable in 2007, remains under these employment agreements.

 

Pursuant to a renewal of the employment agreement with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) in July 2005, the CEO received a grant of seven-year options to purchase an aggregate total of 175,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in allotments of 35,000 shares per annum over a five-year vesting period.  These options are exercisable at prices, depending on the point in time, escalating from $2.80 per share on July 1, 2005 to $4.11 per share on January 1, 2012.  As of September 30, 2007, 105,000 of the 175,000 options granted have vested, all of

which are exercisable at $3.15 per option.  Also pursuant to the July 2005 employment agreement with the Company’s CEO, upon reaching designated earnings per share targets, the CEO will be granted 75,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock in 25,000 allotments.  None of the restricted shares have been vested to date.

 

401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan - The Company maintains a contributory 401(k) plan and a profit sharing plan.  These plans are for the benefit of all eligible corporate employees, who may have up to 15% of their salary withheld, not to exceed the maximum federally allowed amount.  The Company makes an employer-matching contribution of 60 cents for each employee dollar contributed.

 

Taxing Jurisdiction - The Czech Republic currently has a number of laws related to various taxes imposed by governmental authorities.  Applicable taxes include gaming tax, VAT, charity tax, and payroll (social) taxes.  Tax declarations, together with other legal compliance areas (as examples: customs and currency control matters) are subject to review and investigation by a number of governmental authorities, that are enabled by law to impose severe fines, penalties and interest charges and create tax risks in the Czech Republic.  Management believes that it has adequately provided for its Czech tax liabilities.

 

3.              Liquidity

 

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had a working capital surplus of approximately $4,441, compared with a working capital deficit of $2,620 at December 31, 2006.  This represents a $7,061 improvement over the 2006 year end deficit, primarily due to the combination of an infusion of cash in August 2007 from the private placement of $3,500 (the “$3.5M Capital Raise”) as well as to stronger overall operating results achieved in the first nine months of 2007.

 

On July 23, 2007, the Company established a 24-month, secured, revolving credit facility (150,000 Czech Korunas (“CZK”), or approximately $7,700), that will be used for operations and general corporate purposes, including development.  The credit facility, which is secured by the Company’s Route 55 casino building and related land, has been made available through Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft, pobocka Praha, requires quarterly testing and compliance with certain financial covenants, following the Company’s U.S. regulatory filings.  The credit facility also includes an option, exercisable by the Company two months prior to full-term maturity, to extend the term for an additional 12 months, with all other provisions, including the rate of interest, remaining constant.  The interest, in conjunction with each requested draw-down terms of either 1-month, 3-months, or 6-months, is calculated using the corresponding Prague Interbank Offered Rate (“PRIBOR”), plus 400 basis points, based on a 360-day calendar year.  As of September 30, 2007, the Company had drawn an aggregate of 90,000 CZK, or approximately $4,900, of which a large portion was used to pay off the Company’s existing long term debt.

 

The Company believes that its cash resources at September 30, 2007, in addition to the anticipated cash to be provided by existing operations, will be sufficient to fund its activities for the next twelve months.

 

Further, as a complement to its gaming operations, the Company has recently broken ground on the construction of a 75-room, four-star hotel, the first for the Company.  The hotel will be connected to its Route 59 casino with the joint facility’s main restaurant linking the two buildings.  The hotel, set to open next fall, is expected to contribute incremental cash and enhance the Company’s overall results.  There can be no assurances that management’s projections will be realized.

 

4.              Summary of Selected Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a)          Earnings per share — The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.”  Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per common share incorporate the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents on an average basis during the period.  The Company’s common stock equivalents currently include stock options and warrants.  Unexercised warrants and stock options to purchase 311,117 and 266,117 shares of common stock as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share, if such unexercised warrants and stock options were “in-the-money” and vested.

 

5

 



 

(b)         Goodwill — The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the Company’s Czech subsidiaries over the fair value of their net assets at the date of acquisition, which consists of only the Ceska and Rozvadov casinos, collectively recognized for this purpose as the Company’s reporting unit.  Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment, applying a fair-value based test.  The impairment assessment requires the Company to compare the fair value of its Czech Republic reporting unit as defined under SFAS No. 142, which is comprised of its Ceska and Rozvadov casinos, to its carrying value (the net equity of the Company) to determine whether there is an indication that an impairment exists.  The fair value of the Czech Republic reporting unit is determined through a combination of recent appraisals of the Company’s real property and a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), which was based on the Company’s experience and data from independent third parties.  As required by SFAS No. 142, the Company performed the annual fair value-based testing, which was conducted during the second quarter of 2007, of the carrying value of goodwill related to its Czech Republic reporting unit, and determined that goodwill was not impaired.  The Company expects to conduct its next annual fair value-based testing in the second quarter of 2008.

 

(c)          Foreign currency translation - The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” which states that for foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is the local foreign currency, balance sheet accounts and cash flows are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year and resulting translation adjustments are included in “accumulated other comprehensive income.”  Statement of operations accounts are translated by applying monthly averages of daily exchange rates to the respective monthly local Czech statement of operations accounts for the period.

(d)  Stock-based compensation - The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.”  SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25 (“APB No. 25”). Among other items, SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of APB No. 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the fair value of those awards as of the vested date in the financial statements. The effective date of SFAS No. 123R for the Company is the first quarter of 2006. SFAS No. 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a “modified prospective” method, or a “modified retrospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments vested after that date, and

 

6

 



 

based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R. Under the “modified retrospective” method, the requirements are the same as under the “modified prospective” method, but also permit entities to restate financial statements of previous periods, either for all prior periods presented or to the beginning of the fiscal year in which the statement is adopted, based on previous pro forma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, the Company has adopted the modified prospective method of recognition, and began applying the valuation and other criteria to stock options granted beginning January 1, 2006.  The Company is recognizing expense for the unvested portion of previously issued grants based on the valuation and attribution methods used previously to calculate the pro forma disclosures.  The Company did not recognize expense for employee stock options prior to January 1, 2006.

The Company currently utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure the fair value of stock options granted to certain key employees. While SFAS No. 123R permits entities to continue to use such a model, it also permits the use of a “lattice” model. The Company expects to continue using the Black-Scholes option pricing model in connection with its adoption of SFAS No. 123R to measure the fair value of stock options granted.

(e)          Comprehensive income The Company complies with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.”  SFAS No. 130 establishes rules for reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components.  SFAS No. 130 requires the Company’s change in the foreign currency translation adjustments to be included in other comprehensive income (loss).

 

(f)            Recently adopted accounting pronouncementEffective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. Upon the adoption of FIN 48, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax benefits.

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future tax benefits only to the extent, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not such benefits will be realized. The Company’s deferred tax assets were fully reserved at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in selling, general and administrative expenses. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were accrued at September 30, 2007.

The tax years 2003 through 2006 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.

 

(g)         New accounting pronouncements - In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company would be its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments at fair value.

Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its condensed consolidated interim financial position and results of operations.

 

5.              Stockholders’ Equity

 

In August 2007, the Company completed the private placement of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock with several “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,500 or $3.50 per share, the then listed market price of the Company’s common stock.  Associated costs of the $3.5 million Capital Raise, which included finder’s fees, and legal and accounting fees, totaled approximately $207 and have been reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

 

6.              Subsequent Event

 

On October 23, 2007, pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, Mr. Ramadan was granted seven year options to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock, with options to purchase 25,000 shares to be vested immediately, and options to purchase 25,000 shares to be vested each subsequent year on the anniversary of the date of grant.  The exercise price of these options is set at $4.85 per share, the closing stock price on October 23, 2007, and will escalate at a pre-determined rate per annum.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nature of Business and Competition

The Company owns and operates, under its subsidiary company and registered brand of “American Chance Casinos” (“ACC”), four casinos in the Czech Republic (“CZ”), and manages, under contract, one casino and nightclub in Croatia.  Two of the Czech casinos are located in the western part of CZ, close to the border of Germany.  The larger of the two, located in Ceska Kubice (“Ceska”), currently has four competitors. The smaller, Rozvadov (“Rozvadov”), is located in the town of Rozvadov and currently has one competitor.  The other two Czech casinos are located in the southern part of CZ, close to the Austrian border.  The larger of these two, “Route 55,” located in Dolni Dvoriste, has two competitors.  The other casino, “Route 59,” which recently underwent a major building expansion and renovation, is located in Hate, near Znojmo, and currently has two competitors.

On September 21, 2006, ACC was selected to manage a casino and adjoining nightclub (collectively known as the “Grand Casino Lav”), located in the newly opened Le Meridien Lav resort in Podstrana, near Split, Croatia.  The 10-year management agreement with Grand Hotel Lav d.o.o., the property owner, provides for management fees based on the Grand Casino Lav’s financial results.  The agreement also provides optional renewal periods of five (5) years each, subject to certain performance conditions.   In addition to marketing to the existing hotel guests and other foreign tourists, ACC targets the local market of Split, the second largest city in Croatia.  The Grand Casino Lav currently has two competitors.

Exchange Rates

Due to the fact that the Company’s operations are located in Europe, the financial results are subject to the influence of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

The actual 2007 and 2006 operating results in local currency for the Czech casino units were converted to U.S. Dollars (“USD”) using the average of the daily exchange rates of each month in the reporting periods, which are depicted in the following table.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company believes that several accounting policies are important to understanding its historical and future performance. TWC refers to these policies as “critical” because these specific areas generally require the Company to make judgments and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time these estimates were made, and different estimates—which also would have been reasonable—could have been used, which would have resulted in different financial results.  For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company posted an approximate $1.4 million, or 23.3%, improvement on total revenue of approximately $7.5 million versus $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006.  This increase was largely attributable to stronger gains in both live games and slots at its casinos, driven by higher attendance levels.

 

Cost of revenues increased by approximately $692,000, or 20.7%, over 2006, mainly due to volume-driven expenses, such as payroll and guest amenities, but as a percentage of total revenue, the overall cost was 1.2 percentage points lower for the third quarter of 2007 versus the same quarter in 2006.  Slot lease expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were approximately $482,000 versus $409,000 of the comparable period in 2006, with the increase attributable to the augmentation of the number of leased machines from 184 to 206.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $126,000, or 68.9%, largely due to additional depreciation of recent asset acquisitions, including the Company’s owned slot machines.

 

10

 



 

Selling, general and administrative costs increased by approximately $499,000, or 25.1%, in the third quarter of 2007 versus the same quarter in 2006.  This increase resulted largely from the bank and closing fees related to the securing of the Commerzbank credit facility and to the early payoff penalty fee of the GE Bank construction loan for Route 55, the payoff of which was a condition of the credit facility.

 

Net interest expense increased by approximately $33,000, or 49.3%, in the third quarter of 2007 versus the same quarter in 2006, from payment of interest on the Commerzbank credit balance and a reduction in earned interest income from the deposits of the $4.75 million private placement, which had served to offset interest expense in 2006.

 

As a result of the above, the Company achieved a net income gain of approximately $74,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 versus the results for the same three months in 2006.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company generated revenues of approximately $21.7 million, a 17.7%, or $3.3 million, improvement over the same nine months in 2006.  This increase was largely attributable to the performance improvements of Route 55 and Route 59 and to improved overall slot results.

 

Cost of revenues increased by approximately $934,000, or 8.7%, principally as a result of higher volume-driven payroll expenses, gifts and giveaways, and higher slot revenue-driven taxes, which were partially offset by lower slot lease expenses (i.e. approximately $1.4 million in 2007 versus $1.9 million in 2006).

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $378,000, or 71.0%, due primarily to additional depreciation of recent asset acquisitions, including the Company’s owned slot machines.

 

Selling, general and administrative costs increased by approximately $674,000, or 10.7%, resulting from several factors, notably to bank and closing fees related to the securing of the Commerzbank credit facility and to the early payoff penalty fee of the GE Bank construction loan for Route 55; to the expenses of vested stock options, which were partially offset by management fees earned to date from Grand Casino Lav, Croatia at September 30, 2007 of approximately $87,000; and to lower professional fees.

 

Net interest expense increased by approximately $91,000, or 58.7%, primarily due to payment of interest on the Commerzbank credit balance and a reduction in earned interest income, which had served to offset interest expense in 2006.

As a result of the above, the Company achieved an incremental net income improvement of approximately $1.2 million, or 146.0%, from approximately $817,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to approximately $2.0 million for the same period in 2007.

11

 



 

The Company’s Business Units:

 

The Company’s casinos each offer a restaurant and a full bar, and in the larger units, lounge areas and multiple bars.

 

Ceska

 

The Ceska casino, which has a 1920’s Chicago theme, currently has 15 gaming tables, including eight card tables and seven roulette tables.  In 2006, Ceska added four new slot machines, followed by another eight in February 2007, bringing the total to the current 60.

 

Rozvadov

 

The Rozvadov casino, which has a South Pacific theme, currently operates 10 gaming tables, including five card tables and five roulette tables and 30 slot machines.

 

Route 59

 

Route 59 currently operates 21 gaming tables:  12 card tables, eight roulette tables, and one electro-mechanical roulette machine.  In January 2007, the unit added 32 new slot machines, bringing the total to the current 102.  In 2006, Route 59 underwent expansion and renovation projects, resulting in: (i) the refurbishment of the existing space, including reception reconfiguration; (ii) expansion of the building, including an extension of the gaming floor area; (iii) construction of a large, centrally located stage; (iv) introduction of a second bar; (v) introduction of New Orleans thematic elements throughout the casino; and (vi) expansion of the parking area to accommodate up to 220 cars.  Further, in the first nine months of 2007, the casino extended and completed renovations to certain areas not covered by the capital improvement program implemented in 2006 (the “2006 Capital Improvement Program”), notably structural roof changes, replacement of carpeting and lighting for the main gaming floor, and enhancement to the exterior façade of the casino.

 

Route 55

 

Route 55, ACC’s largest casino, features a Miami Beach “Streamline Moderne” style, reminiscent of Miami Beach in the early 1950’s.  The two-story casino offers 21 tables, including 10 card tables, 10 roulette tables and a Slingshot multi-win roulette table, as well as 114 slot machines.  On the mezzanine level, Route 55 offers a full-service Italian restaurant with seating for 70 guests, an open buffet area, a VIP lounge, and a VIP gaming room equipped with four gaming tables that are included in the table count above.

 

Grand Casino Lav

 

The Grand Casino Lav currently has 15 gaming tables, including six roulette tables and nine card tables, 60 video slot machines, a panoramic mezzanine bar overlooking the gaming floor, and a full-service nightclub that can accommodate up to 250 guests.

 

 

Sales and Marketing

 

The Company utilizes a wide range of media marketing and promotional programs in an effort to differentiate itself from its competitors and to secure and enhance its competitive position in the respective markets being served.  With respect to its Czech casinos, the Company aggressively targets key cities in its media campaigns, most notably Vienna and Linz in Austria and Regensburg in Germany, as well as the areas surrounding these cities, all of which are within driving range of the casinos.  For its Croatian unit, the Company focuses its marketing programs toward Le Meridien Lav hotel guests, as well as guests in surrounding hotels.  In addition, efforts are focused on Split, the second largest city in Croatia, as well as certain key foreign markets, such as Italy and other neighboring countries.

 

 

12

 



 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of September 30, 2007, the Company had a working capital surplus of approximately $4.4 million, compared with a working capital deficit of approximately $2.6 million at December 31, 2006.  This represents an approximate $7.1 million improvement over the 2006 year end deficit, primarily due to the combination of an infusion of cash in August 2007 from the $3.5M Capital Raise as well as to stronger overall operating results achieved in the first nine months of 2007.

 

On July 23, 2007, the Company established a 24-month, secured, revolving credit facility (150 million CZK), or approximately $7.7 million, that will be used for operations and general corporate purposes, including development.  The credit facility, which is secured by the Company’s Route 55 casino building and related land, has been made available through Commerzbank Aktiengesellschaft, pobocka Praha, requires quarterly testing and compliance with certain financial covenants, following the Company’s U.S. regulatory filings.  The credit facility also includes an option, exercisable by the Company two months prior to full-term maturity, to extend the term for an additional 12 months, with all other provisions, including the rate of interest, remaining constant.  The interest, in conjunction with each requested draw-down terms of either 1-month, 3-months, or 6-months, is calculated using the corresponding PRIBOR, plus 400 basis points, based on a 360-day calendar year.  As of September 30, 2007, the Company had drawn an aggregate of 90 million CZK, or approximately $4.9 million, of which a large portion was used to pay off the Company’s existing long term debt.

 

The Company believes that its cash resources at September 30, 2007, in addition to the anticipated cash to be provided by existing operations, will be sufficient to fund its activities for the next twelve months.

 

Further, as a complement to its gaming operations, the Company has recently broken ground on the construction of a 75-room, four-star hotel, the first for the Company.  The hotel will be connected to its Route 59 casino with the joint facility’s main restaurant linking the two buildings.  The hotel, set to open next fall, is expected to contribute incremental cash and enhance the Company’s overall results.  There can be no assurances that management’s projections will be realized.

 

The Company is obligated under various contractual commitments over the next five years.  The following is a summary of the five-year contractual obligations of the Company as of September 30, 2007:

In August 2007, as a condition of the Commerzbank credit facility agreement, the Company subsequently paid off its operating loan, secured by Route 59’s casino building and the construction loan on Route 55 from the proceeds of the credit facility.

 

 

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

With the completion of the Company’s 2006 Capital Improvement Program, which provided for the expansion and renovation of Route 59, purchases of certain gaming equipment, and additional renovation work at Route 59, there have been notable improvements in operations and financial results in 2007.  Management believes that these improvements have repositioned the units to better recapture business it had lost to competitors and to increase the volume of current visits, thereby improving revenues.  In addition to the capital improvements, the Company continues to concentrate its efforts on improving its operational results through the design and implementation of innovative marketing and

 

 

13

 



 

operational strategies and to expand its casino business in Europe, including its latest addition, the management of the Grand Casino Lav in Croatia.

 

 

Long-Range Objective

 

The Company’s current operations are principally in the gaming industry.  The Company’s senior corporate management, several of whom have extensive experience in the hotel industry, is exploring ways to expand the Company’s operations through the acquisition and/or development of new non-gaming business units, while continuing to grow the Company’s existing operations.  In that endeavor, TWC has recently broken ground on the construction of a 75-room, four-star hotel, near its Route 59 casino.  The Company will also seek to obtain management contracts for business that complement its existing operations, while its casino and non-gaming expansion will be based on evaluations of the potential returns of projects that arise and, for certain projects, the availability of financing.

 

 

Note on Forward-Looking Information

 

This Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements.  For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-QSB that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.  Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” or “continue” or comparable terminology or the negative thereof are intended to identify certain forward-looking statements.  These statements, by their nature, involve substantial risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, and actual results may differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, among others, the risks described in the section entitled “Plan of Operations and Important Factors to Consider” under “Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2007.  The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

ITEM 3.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), under the supervision of Rami S. Ramadan, its Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, and with the participation of the Company’s management team.  Based upon that evaluation, Mr. Ramadan concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that all material information required to be included in this quarterly report were recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

 

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation and up to the date of the filing of this quarterly report.

 

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
