NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. The accompanying unaudited 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, 2002. In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended July 31, 2002 are not indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 2003.

Certain reclassifications within the financial statement captions have been made to maintain consistency in presentation between years.

2. Indian Gaming: The Company is advancing funds for the establishment of Indian gaming. These funds have been capitalized in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 67 "Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects." Such standard requires costs associated with the acquisition, development, and construction of real estate and real estate related projects to be capitalized as part of that project. The realization of these advances is predicated on the ability of the Company and their Indian gaming clients to successfully open and operate the proposed casinos. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful. The inability of the Company to recover these advances could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Advances to the tribes and for gaming developments are capitalized and recorded as receivables from the tribes. These receivables, shown as Advances for Indian Gaming Development on the balance sheet, represent costs to be reimbursed to the Company pending approval of Indian gaming in several locations. The Company has agreements in place which require payments to be made to the Company for the respective projects upon opening of Indian gaming facilities. Once gaming facilities have gained proper approvals, the Company will enter into note receivable arrangements with the tribe to secure reimbursement of advanced funds to the Company for the particular project. The Company currently has one note receivable shown as Note Receivable from Indian Gaming Development on the balance sheet.

Reserves are recorded for Indian Gaming Development costs that cannot be determined whether reimbursement from the Tribes will occur. We have agreements with the Tribes to be reimbursed for all costs incurred to develop gaming when the facilities are constructed and opened. Because the Stables represents the only operations opened, there is uncertainty as to whether reimbursement on all remaining costs that have been reserved will occur. It is the Company's policy therefore, to reduce the respective reserves as reimbursement from the Tribes is collected.

The Company has capitalized approximately $1,910,155 and $1,904,135 at July 31, 2002 and April 30, 2002 respectively, related to the development of Indian gaming facilities. These amounts are net of reserves of $2,718,928, which were established to reserve for potentially unreimburseable costs. In the opinion of management, the net advances will be recoverable through the gaming activities. Current economic projections for the gaming activities indicate adequate future cash flows to recover the advances. In the event the Company and its Indian clients are unsuccessful in establishing such operations, these net recorded advances will be recovered through the liquidation of the associated assets. The Company has title to land purchased for Indian gaming. These tracts, currently owned by the Company, could be sold to recover costs in the projects.

3. Quasi Reorganization: After completing a three-year program of restructuring the Company's operation, on October 31, 1992, the Company adjusted the accumulated deficit (earned surplus benefit) to a zero balance thereby affording the Company a "fresh start." No assets or liabilities required adjustment in this process as they had been recorded at fair value. The amount of accumulated deficit eliminated as of October 31, 1992, was $11,938,813. Upon consummation of the reorganization, all deficits in the surplus accounts were eliminated against paid-in capital.

4. Earnings Per Share: Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Stock options, convertible preferred, and convertible debentures have been considered in the dilutive earnings per share calculation, but not used in 2003 because they are anti-dilutive.

5. Research and Development: The Company charges to operations research and development costs. The amount charged in the quarters ended July 31, 2002 and 2001 were approximately $304,340 and $208,000 respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First quarter fiscal 2003 compared to first quarter fiscal 2002
The Company's sales for the three months ended July 31, 2002 were $1,175,490 compared to $3,254,990 for the three months ended July 31, 2001, a decrease of (64%).

Discussion of the specific changes by operation at each business segment follows:

Aircraft Modifications: Sales from the Aircraft Modifications business segment decreased $359,754 (46.6%) from $771,567 in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year to $411,813 in the current first quarter of fiscal 2003. First quarter operating loss was $176,297 in fiscal 2003 compared to a profit of $255,021 in fiscal 2002 attributed to the sale of modified aircraft. Emphasis is placed on the purchase, modify and resale aircraft product line to increase market share of all modification products.

Avionics: Sales from the Avionics business segment were $111,482 for the three months ended July 31, 2002 compared to $588,718 in the comparable period of the preceding year, a decrease of (81%). The decrease resulted from decreased sales of aviation safety products. However we expect an increase in avionic sales during the second and third quarters. Operating loss for the three months ended July 31, 2002, were $102,676 compared to a profit of $304,661 for the three months ended July 31, 2001. Management expects this business segment to continue to increase in future years due to the additional new TSD Products.

SCADA Systems and Monitoring Services:
Sales from the Scada Systems and Monitoring Services business segment for the three months ended July 31, 2002 were $304,411 compared to sales of $296,893 for the comparable period of the prior year an increase of (2.6%). Operating profit for the three months was $27,984 compared to $27,870 for the three months ended July 31, 2001.

The Company believes the service business of this segment will continue to grow at a moderate rate. This segment has experienced general increases over the past few years and the Company expects this trend to continue.

Temporary Services: BTS provides managed temporary personnel to corporate clients to cover personnel shortages on a short and/or long term basis. This service is being marketed in Kansas and Missouri. Currently, this Company is inactive. BTS plans to provide contract staffing for the Princess Maria establishment planned to open in early 2004.

Management Services: Management consulting and professional services sales for the three months ended July 31, 2002 were $347,784 compared to $172,813 in the comparable period of the preceding year, an increase of (101%).

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A): Expenses in the three months ended July 31, 2002, were $551,046 or (47%) of sales compared to $486,529 or (15%) of sales for the three months ended July 31, 2001, an increase of $64,517 or 13.3%.

Other Income (Expense): Other income (expense) is income of $18,973 in the quarter ended July 31, 2002, versus of $46,393 in the quarter ended July 31, 2001.

Interest expense for the three months ended July 31, 2002, decreased $42,231 from $89,975 in the first quarter of the prior year to $47,743. The Company continues to use its line of credit to maintain operations.

Indian Gaming Management (a division of Butler National Corporation): This segment received $18,959 in interest income and incurred minimal expenses during the current quarter.

The Company employed 54 at July 31, 2002, and 53 at July 31, 2001.

EARNINGS

The Company recorded a loss of $147,458 in the three months ended July 31, 2002. This is comparable to a profit of $527,317 in the three months ended July 31, 2001. Income (Loss) per share is $0.00 and $0.02 for the three months ending July 31, 2002, and July 31, 2001, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Borrowed funds have been used primarily for working capital. Bank (Industrial State Bank) debt related to the Company's operating line was $392,874 at July 31, 2002, and was $421,471 at July 31, 2001.

The Company's unused line of credit was approximately $107,126 as of July 31, 2002 and approximately $78,529 as of July 31, 2001. The interest rate on the Company's line of credit is prime plus two, as of September 11, 2002, the interest rate is 7.0%.

The Company plans to continue using the ninety day promissory notes payable to fund working capital. The Company believes the extensions will continue and does not anticipate the repayment of these notes in fiscal 2003. The renewals of the promissory notes payable is consistent with prior years. If the Bank were to demand repayment of the notes payable the Company currently does not have enough cash to pay off the notes without materially adversely affecting the financial condition of the Company.

The Company does not, as of July 31, 2002 have any material commitments for other capital expenditures other than the terms of the Indian gaming Management Agreements. Depending upon the development schedules, the Company will need additional funds to complete its currently planned Indian gaming opportunities. The Company will use current cash available as well as additional funds, for the start up and construction of gaming facilities. The Company anticipates initially obtaining these funds from internally generated working capital and borrowings. After a few gaming facilities become operational, gaming operations will generate additional working capital for the start up and construction of other gaming facilities. The Company expects that its start up and construction financing of gaming facilities will be replaced by other financial lenders, long term financing through debt issue, or equity issues.

The Company was initially listed in the national over-the-counter market in 1969, under the symbol "BUTL". Effective June 8, 1992, the symbol was changed to "BLNL". On February 24, 1994, it was listed on the NASDAQ small cap market under the symbol "BUKS". The Company's common stock was delisted from the small cap category effective January 1, 1999, and is now listed in the over-the-counter (OTCBB) category. Approximately fifteen (15) market makers offer and trade the stock. NASDAQ is considering a change from the over-the-counter listing system to the Bulletin Board Exchange (BBX) system. The new system may cause a change in our symbol.
