NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
(unaudited) |
1. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual report on Form 10-K dated April 30, 2009. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended October 31, 2009 are not indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 2010. |
2. Accounting Standards Codification: In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting pronouncement establishing the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. This pronouncement was effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, for most entities. On the effective date, all non-SEC accounting and reporting standards will be superceded. The Company adopted this new accounting pronouncement for the quarterly period ended October 31, 2009, as required, and adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements taken as a whole. |
Advances for Gaming Developments: We are advancing funds for the establishment of gaming. These funds have been capitalized based on the costs associated with the acquisition, development, and construction of real estate and real estate-related projects to be capitalized as part of those projects. Our advances represent costs to be reimbursed upon approval of gaming in several locations. We have agreements in place which require payments to be made to us for the respective projects upon opening of Indian gaming facilities. Once gaming facilities have gained proper approvals, we plan to enter into a note receivable arrangement with the Tribe to secure reimbursement of advanced funds for that particular project. We have advanced and invested a total of $5,199,245 at October 31, 2009 and $5,153,174 at April 30, 2009 in gaming developments. We have reserves of $3,346,623, at October 31, 2009 and at April 30, 2009. We believe it is necessary to establish reserves against the advances because all of the proposed casinos involve legal and government approvals. The reserve amount is an estimate of the value we would receive if a casino was not opened and we were forced to liquidate the assets that we have acquired with our advances. These assets were intended to be used with casinos and consist of the purchase of land and land improvements related to the development of gaming facilities. We believe that these tracts could be developed and sold for residential and commercial use to recover our advances if the gaming enterprises do not open. At April 30, 2009 and October 31, 2009, we maintained a reserve of approximately $434,000 for Dodge City gaming developments. We determine annually the amount of any increase in reserves based on our determination of the fair value of assets acquired by our advances for gaming developments. |
4. Entertainment Development: We had land development purchases totaling approximately $441,270 during the six months ending October 31, 2009. In June 2009 we sold 104 acres of land to BHC Development LC resulting in a gain of approximately $496,000. |
5. Earnings Per Share: Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Stock options have been considered in the dilutive earnings per share calculation. |
6. Research and Development: We invested in research and development activities. The amount invested in the six months ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $463,000 and $2,012,375 respectively. |
7. Borrowings: At October 31, 2009, the Company had one line of credit totaling $1,000,000. The unused line at October 31, 2009 was $723,324. During the current year these funds were primarily used for the purchase of inventory for the modifications and avionics operations. One note with a balance of $1,011,582 is collateralized by the first and second position on all assets of the company. This was used as capital for our daily business operations in 2006. There are several other notes collateralized by automobiles and equipment totaling an additional $181,239. |
8. Asset Allocation: During the quarter ending October 31, 2009 the aircraft inventory was reallocated as a long term asset. In review of the current economic conditions and its relationship to the current retail and wholesale aircraft markets we have reallocated our aircraft inventory as long term assets beginning August 1, 2009. Depreciation has been calculated over a period of five years. |

The reallocation of aircraft to a long term asset resulted in additional depreciation expense of approximately $231,000, reducing our operating profit for the quarter ending October 31, 2009. During the past few years we have seen a significant increase in aircraft camera modification. Several custom engineering projects were completed in fiscal 2009 which accounted for our change in revenue. As the economy grows aircraft owners may elect to update, modify, and purchase business aircraft. A shift to business aircraft ownership positively impacts our aircraft modification revenues. Although we cannot anticipate the future we must always consider the negative impact of items such as the September 11, 2001 event, increases in fuel prices, and general economic downturns. Aircraft Acquisitions and Sales: There was no activity in the six months ended October 31, 2008 and October 31, 2009. During the quarter ending October 31, 2009 the aircraft inventory was reallocated as a long term asset. In review of the current economic conditions and its relationship to the current retail and wholesale aircraft markets we have reallocated our aircraft inventory as long term assets beginning August 1, 2009. Depreciation has been calculated over a period of five years. Management expects this business segment to have limited activity until more favorable economic conditions exist. FAA required modifications to the business aircraft fleet may increase customer demand for company owned aircraft.
Other Income (Expense): Interest expense decreased from $272,259 in the six months ended October 31, 2008 to $215,125 for the six months ended October 31, 2009. |
SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2009 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2008 Our revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2009 was $4,410,608, an increase of 8.7% from the three months ended October 31, 2008 with revenue of $4,055,773. Our operating profit for the three months ended October 31, 2009 was $112,634, compared to an operating loss of $4,979 for the three months ended October 31, 2008, an increase of $117,612. Discussion of the specific changes by operation at each business segment follows: Aircraft Modifications: Revenue from Aircraft Modifications segment for the three months ending October 31, 2009, was $2,384,846, an increase of 5.9% from the three months ending October 31, 2008 with revenue of $2,250,918, and an increase of 4.7% from the three months ending October 31, 2007 with revenue of $2,504,535. The modifications segment had an operating loss of $13,683 in the three months ended October 31, 2009, an operating profit of $15,205 in the three months ending October 31, 2008, and $343,781 in the three months ending October 31, 2007. Avionics: Revenue from Avionics for the three months ending October 31, 2009, was $1,169,012, an increase of 169% from the three months ending October 31, 2008 with revenue of $434,718, and an increase of 24% from the three months ending October 31, 2007 with revenue of $941,781. The avionics segment had an operating profit of $141,431 in the three months ending October 31, 2009, an operating loss of $45,268 in the three months ending October 31, 2008, and an operating profit of $343,781 in the three months ending October 31, 2007. Services - SCADA Systems and Monitoring Services: Revenue decreased from $559,009 for the three months ended October 31, 2008 to $372,754 for the three months ended October 31, 2009. During the three months ended October 31, 2009, we maintained a relatively level volume of long-term contracts with municipalities. We anticipate increases in revenue from additional lift station rehabilitations over the next three to four years. Revenue fluctuates due to the introduction of new products and services and the related installations of these types of products. Our contracts with our two largest customers have been renewed through fiscal 2010. An operating profit of $53,724 in Monitoring Services was recorded for the three months ended October 31, 2009, compared to a profit of $82,566 for the three months ended October 31, 2008, a decrease of 35%. We believe the service business has had revenue stability over the past few years and we expect this to continue. Gaming: Operating profits from management services related to gaming decreased 35.5% from $289,477 for the three months ended October 31, 2008, to $186,667 for the three months ended October 31, 2009. Decreases in operating profit can be attributed to increased expenses towards gaming developments. Please see information on Boot Hill Casino and Resort at www.boothillcasino.com. Corporate / Professional Services: These services include the architectural services of BCS Design, Inc., arrangements for financing, on site contract management of gaming establishments, flight, and engineering services. Management consulting and professional fees, including revenue related to completed projects, were $553,873 for the three months ended October 31, 2009 and $545,526 for the three months ended October 31, 2008 an increase of 1.5%. Revenue related to construction projects were approximately $137,900 at October 31, 2009 and $432,020 at October 31, 2008. Other Income (Expense): Interest expense increased from $41,223 in the three months ended October 31, 2008 to 94,523 for the three months ended October 31, 2009. Earnings: Our operating profit for the three months ended October 31, 2009 was $112,634, compared to a loss of $4,979 for the three months ended October 31, 2008. Our net loss for the prior three months period ended October 31, 2008 was $46,202. Our net income for the current three months ended October 31, 2009 was $19,218. |
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We believe that our current banks will provide the necessary capital for our business operations. However, we continue to maintain contact with other banks that have an interest in funding our working capital needs to continue our growth in operations in 2010 and beyond.
The terms of the agreement between the Kansas Lottery and BNSC/BHCMC require the completion of an addition to the Boot Hill Casino and Resort to open in late 2013. Funding for this expansion is expected to come from operations and additional debt secured by the Boot Hill Casino and Resort.
During the first six months of fiscal year 2010 our cash position increased by $333,839 and can be attributed to the following. Cash provided by operating activities was $1,300,826. We reported net income of $737,238 during the six months ending October 31, 2009. Non-cash charges to income for depreciation and amortization were $499,931. Other cash provided by operating activities included an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $764,770 and a decrease in customer deposits of $206,633. The change in accounts receivable by segment was 49% aircraft modification, 40% to Avionics and the remaining increase in accounts receivable of 11% to management and professional services. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted in a net contribution of $409,574. A decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets resulted in a contribution of $68,176. Inventory decreased by more than $1,053,743 as a result of the large shipment of products from our Avionics segment and the sale of a home in Junction City, Kansas. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures: Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2009. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of October 31, 2009. Limitations on Controls Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. 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. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, 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. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: In our opinion there were no material changes in the Company internal controls over financial reporting as of October 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting. |

Item 1. |
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. A lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas by the State of Kansas against us, the United States, the Business Committee members of the Miami Tribe and others on October 14, 1999, challenging the determination by the NIGC and the United States District Court for the District of Kansas that the Miami Princess Maria Reserve No. 35 is Indian land for the purposes of gaming under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. The State of Kansas requested an order by the Court preventing further development of gaming on the Indian land. The question in the case has been remanded to the NIGC for further review. The BIA has issued a negative opinion concerning jurisdiction over the land. An interim lawsuit was filed to protect rights related to the opinion and the federal court of appeals dismissed the lawsuit as premature. The NIGC has not made a further determination on the question. The Miami Tribe expects to eventually receive a favorable determination. We cannot reliably predict the outcome of the case. Butler National filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against General Electric in May 2008 and others related to overhaul of two CJ-610 aircraft jet engines. We are seeking in excess of a million dollars. We are aggressively pursuing the case. We cannot reliably predict the outcome of this litigation at this time. As of October 31, 2009, there are no other significant known legal proceedings pending against us. We consider all such unknown proceedings, if any, to be ordinary litigation incident to the character of the business. We believe that the resolution of any claims will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company. Our subsidiary, Butler National Service Corporation, filed a lawsuit against Navegante Group, Inc., a company that provides casino-related consulting services, and one of its principals, in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas in September, 2009. Navegante filed a separate lawsuit in the same United States District Court against Butler National Service Corporation in October 2009. Both suits arise from alleged agreements and fees related to the management of the lottery gaming facility in Dodge City, Kansas. The Navegante complaint alleges damages in excess of $75,000. The Butler National Service Corporation claims seek damages in excess of $75,000 for breaches of contract and requests declaratory relief that Navegante has no interests or rights in any of the business aspects of the lottery gaming facility in Dodge City. We are aggressively pursuing our claims and vigorously defending against the Navegante allegations. We cannot reliably predict the outcome of this litigation at this time. |
