GLOBAL CASINOS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2004
(UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB. Management believes the statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the interim periods.
Global Casinos, Inc. (the "Company" or "Global"), a Utah corporation, develops and operates gaming casinos. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of March 31, 2004, the Company's only operating subsidiary was:
CASINOS USA, INC. ("Casinos USA"), a Colorado corporation, which owns and operates the Bull Durham Saloon and Casino ("Bull Durham"), located in the limited stakes gaming district of Black Hawk, Colorado.
2. Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has a history of substantial net losses. As of March 31, 2004, it had an accumulated deficit of $12,615,288 and a working capital deficiency of $1,352,131. The Company is in default on various loan agreements, is delinquent on payments to certain creditors and has ceased operating all but one of its casinos. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company continues its efforts to formulate plans and strategies to address its financial condition and increase profitability. Operating expenses have been reduced and management will continue to address debt currently in default by negotiating with creditors to convert debt to equity, extend maturity dates and reduce payment amounts. The Company continues to explore methods to increase profitability; however, there can be no assurances that management will be successful in their efforts.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts or classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
3. Earnings (Loss) 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 (i.e., in a loss period). Potentially dilutive shares of 528,150 were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
4. Related Party Transactions
An officer and director operates a professional services firm that provides certain management, accounting, and administrative services to the Company and to other clients. During the nine month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, his firm was paid for services performed in the amounts of $27,668 and $29,421 respectively.
A director operates a law firm that provides legal services to the Company and other clients. During the nine month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, his firm was paid for services performed in the amounts of $15,968 and $36,584 respectively.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
Option to Purchase Casinos USA
- Among other terms and conditions, the Company agreed to grant an option to the senior creditor to purchase 100% of the common stock of Casinos USA for $100. The option can be exercised any time after March 17, 2005. Global can redeem the option by paying in full the principal and interest balance on the $500,582 promissory note. Global does not currently have the capital resources to retire the promissory note payable. It will attempt to generate the funds internally or through a capital infusion. Should it fail to retire the debt before March 17, 2005, the creditor will be able to purchase Casinos USA, including the assets and operations of the Bull Durham for $100. As the Bull Durham constitutes all of the Company's operations, such an event would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its ability to retire its obligations.
ITEM 2. |
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Certain statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements such as statements relating to future operating results, existing and expected competition, financing and refinancing sources and availability and plans for future development or expansion activities and capital expenditures. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may significantly affect our liquidity and results in the future and, accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those related to effects of competition, leverage and debt service financing and refinancing efforts, general economic conditions, changes in gaming laws or regulations (including the legalization of gaming in various jurisdictions) and risks related to development and construction activities. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We operate in the domestic gaming industry. We were organized as a holding company for the purpose of acquiring and operating casinos, gaming properties and other related interests. At March 31, 2004, our operations consisted solely of the Bull Durham Saloon & Casino in Black Hawk, Colorado.
Our operations are seasonal. The Bull Durham experiences a significant increase in business during the summer tourist season.
We operate in a highly regulated environment subject to the political process. Our retail gaming license is subject to annual renewal by the Colorado Division of Gaming. Changes to existing statutes and regulations could have a negative effect on our operations.
Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to the Three Months ended March 31, 2003
We recognized net income of $100,403 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to net income of $13,087 for the same period in 2003. The 2004 period benefited from a 27% increase in revenues at the casino.
Revenues
Casino revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were $834,642 compared to $656,992 for the 2003 period, an increase of $177,650 or 27%. The increased revenues are primarily attributed to the increased number of slot machines on the gaming floor. We eliminated table games and use the floor space for new slot machines. Furthermore, we increased our marketing activities to promote the new machines.
Expenses
Casino operating expenses increased to $625,520 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $556,170 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $69,350, or 13%. Expenses increased primarily because we increased the number of slot machines in the casino and increased our marketing efforts. Payroll increased by $21,501 because we hired additional staff to accommodate increased activity in the casino. Marketing expenses increased by $9,531 as we increased our charter bus activity and our advertising campaign. Device fees increased by $4,320. The device fee is a tax paid to the local government that is based on the number of gaming devices in service. In addition, depreciation increased by $11,594 to reflect the additional slot machines and related building modifications.
General and administrative expenses increased from $36,226 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $59,446 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $23,220 or 64%. The 2003 period benefited from the favorable settlement of claims and debt restructuring. Those benefits were not repeated in 2004.
Other
Interest expense was $49,273 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $51,509 for the similar period in 2003. Both periods reflect the reduction in interest expense negotiated by the Company during 2002 in connection with the Bull Durham restructuring.
For federal income tax purposes, Global has a net operating loss of carryover (NOL) approximating $7,790,000, which can be used to offset future taxable income, if any. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and the benefits from NOL's are subject to certain limitations including restrictions imposed when there is a loss of business continuity or when ownership changes in excess of 50% of outstanding shares, under certain circumstances. Thus, there is no guarantee that Global will be able to utilize its NOL before it expires and no potential benefit has been recorded in the financial statements.
Inflation did not have a material impact on the Company's operations for the period.
Other than the foregoing, management knows of no trends, demands, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.
Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to the Nine Months ended March 31, 2003
We recognized net income of $150,700 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 compared to net income of $486,718 for the same period in 2003. The 2003 period included a gain from debt restructuring of $473,941. There were no similar gains in 2004.
Revenues
Casino revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 were $2,274,370 compared to $2,037,027 for the 2003 period, an increase of $237,343 or 12%. The increased revenues are primarily attributed to the increased number of slot machines on the gaming floor. We eliminated table games and use the floor space for new slot machines. Furthermore, we increased our marketing activities to promote the new machines.
Expenses
Casino operating expenses increased to $1,825,790 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $1,720,574 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $105,216, or 6%. Expenses increased because we increased our advertising activities by $13,547. Local device fees increased by $16,263. Device fees are a tax paid to the local government that is based on the number of gaming devices in service. Property taxes and state gaming taxes also increased by $8,626. The additional slot machines and related building modifications increased depreciation expense by $26,782. The cost of professional fees increased by $18,763 due to additional efforts required to comply with accounting and reporting regulations. The increased spending in these areas was somewhat offset by expense reductions that we realized by eliminating table games.
General and administrative expenses increased from $129,974 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003 to $144,468 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, an increase of $14,494 or 11%. The 2003 period included benefits associated with the restructuring of the Bull Durham debt and the favorable settlement of other claims. Those benefits were not repeated in 2004.
Other
Interest expense was $153,412 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $173,702 for the similar period in 2003. The reduction in interest expense of $20,290 (12%) reflects decreasing interest rates on certain variable rate indebtedness and a reduction in outstanding principal balances. It also reflects the restructuring of the Bull Durham debt which reduced certain principal balances and interest rates.
For federal income tax purposes, Global has a net operating loss of carryover (NOL) approximating $7,790,000, which can be used to offset future taxable income, if any. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of and the benefits from NOL's are subject to certain limitations including restrictions imposed when there is a loss of business continuity or when ownership changes in excess of 50% of outstanding shares, under certain circumstances. Thus, there is no guarantee that Global will be able to utilize its NOL before it expires and no potential benefit has been recorded in the financial statements.
Inflation did not have a material impact on the Company's operations for the period.
Other than the foregoing, management knows of no trends, demands, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary source of cash is internally generated through operations. Historically, cash generated from operations has not been sufficient to satisfy working capital requirements and capital expenditures. Consequently, we have depended on funds received through debt and equity financing to address these shortfalls. We have also relied, from time to time, upon loans from affiliates to meet immediate cash demands. There can be no assurance that these affiliates or other related parties will continue to provide funds to us in the future, as there is no legal obligation on these parties to provide such loans.
At March 31, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $610,638, substantially all of which was utilized in our casino operations. Pursuant to state gaming regulations, the casino is required to maintain cash balances sufficient to pay potential jackpot awards.
While the Company believes that its capital resources are sufficient to allow the continued operation of its casino, it does not currently have sufficient resources to expand its operations or to satisfy overdue obligations of the parent company. The Company does not have access to any revolving credit facilities.
Our working capital deficiency decreased by $168,348 to $(1,352,131) at March 31, 2004, from $(1,520,479) at June 30, 2003, primarily because of cash flow from operating activities.
At March 31, 2004, we owed debt in the amount of approximately $417,973 to individuals and entities that, by the terms of these notes, was in default. Should any of these note holders make demand for payment, we would not have the financial resources to pay these notes.
Cash provided by operating activities was $470,801 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. For the same period in 2003, operating activities provided net cash of $398,538. The improvement resulted from our increased revenues.
Cash used in investing activities was $125,510 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, all of which was used for capital expenditures. We used net cash of $93,209 in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2003. Capital expenditures for the period of $132,821 were partially offset by collections of notes receivable.
Cash flows used in financing activities increased $133,521 to $251,182 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004, compared to cash used of $117,661 in 2003. These amounts represent scheduled payments on our indebtedness.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficiency. We were in default on various loan agreements, were delinquent on payments to certain creditors and had ceased operating all but one of our casinos. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We continue our efforts to formulate plans and strategies to address our financial condition and increase profitability. We will continue to address debt currently in default by negotiating with creditors to convert debt to equity, extend maturity dates of debt, and accept reduced payment terms. We are evaluating methods to reduce costs and enhance our operating results. We cannot, however, provide any assurances that we will be successful in these endeavors.
Other than the foregoing, management knows of no trends, demands, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company's liquidity and capital resources.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Frank L. Jennings, Principal Executive and Financial Officer of Global Casinos, Inc., has established and is currently maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company.
