BUTLER NATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 nine months ended January 31, 2010 are not indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 2010.

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

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  On the effective date, all non-SEC accounting and reporting standards will be superceded.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.

3. 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 $5,153,174 at January 31, 2010 and $5,153,174 at April 30, 2009 in gaming developments. We have reserves of $3,346,623, at January 31, 2010 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.

4. Gaming - Boot Hill: In June 2009 we sold 104 acres of the 389 acres purchased in November 2007 to BHC Development LC for $2,000,000. The 104 acres were developed for the purpose of the Boot Hill Casino and Resort. Since the acquisition in 2007 we have been developing land for the purpose of the casino. The remaining unsold acres consist of a farm house and undeveloped farm land with the appraised value of $415,453.

Butler National Service Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Butler National Corporation, was approved on December 5, 2008 by the State of Kansas as the developer and manager of a casino in the Southwest Gaming Zone located in Dodge City, Kansas.

Butler National Service Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Butler National Corporation entered into an agreement with BHC Development LC, a Topeka, Kansas based development company to construct Phase I of the Boot Hill Casino and Resort. BHC Investment Company, L.C. ("BHCI") is not a related party. Butler National does not own nor do our officers of directors have ownership in BHCI. The Lottery gaming facility known as Boot Hill Casino and Resort was constructed by BHC Development, L.C., a real estate development company. BNSC is the majority owner and BHCI is the minority owner of BHCMC LLC, the Manager of the Boot Hill Casino and Resort for the State of Kansas.

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 nine months ended January 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $1,346,293 and $2,501,742 respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEAR TO DATE JANUARY 31, 2010 COMPARED TO YEAR TO DATE JANUARY 31, 2009

Our revenue for the nine months ended January 31, 2010 was $19,403,210, an increase of 40.5% from the nine months ended January 31, 2009 with revenue of $13,805,448. Our operating profit for the nine months ended January 31, 2010 was $2,287,708, compared to $1,153,812 for the nine months ended January 31, 2009, an increase of 98.2%. Approximately $496,000 of the operating profit can be attributed to the sale of land in Dodge City, Kansas.

Discussion of the specific changes by operation at each business segment follows (the results of operations are based on pre-corporate allocations):

Aircraft Modifications: Revenue from Aircraft Modifications segment for the nine months ending January 31, 2010, was $8,281,825, a decrease of 4.9% from the nine months ending January 31, 2009 with revenue of $8,707,767, and an increase of 28.3% from the nine months ending January 31, 2008 with revenue of $6,453,348. The modifications segment had an operating profit of $578,491 in the nine months ended January 31, 2010, an operating profit of $1,295,495 in the nine months ending January 31, 2009, and $743,070 in the nine months ending January 31, 2008. The reallocation of aircraft to a long term asset resulted in additional depreciation expense of approximately $462,000, reducing our operating profit for the nine months ending January 31, 2010.

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 nine months ended January 31, 2009 and January 31, 2010. 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 is calculated over the useful life 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.


Avionics: Revenue from Avionics for the nine months ending January 31, 2010, was $4,542,809, an increase of 140% from the nine months ending January 31, 2009 with revenue of $1,891,454, and an increase of 20% from the nine months ending October 31, 2008 with revenue of $3,774,502. The avionics segment had an operating profit of $1,483,391 in the nine months ending January 31, 2010, $52,827 for the nine months ending January 31, 2009, and $1,097,930 for the nine months ending January 31, 2008. The increase in operating profit is directly related to the significant increases in revenue. The work in process was approximately $1,324,000 at April 30, 2009 compared to work in process of approximately $90,000 at January 31, 2010. Management expects increased revenue for the fuel system protection devices, when certified, like the TSD, GFI, and other classic aviation and defense products.

Services - SCADA Systems and Monitoring Services:
Revenue decreased from $1,376,970 for the nine months ended January 31, 2009 to $1,186,115 for the nine months ended January 31, 2010. During the nine months ended January 31, 2010, 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 $225,787 in Monitoring Services was recorded for the nine months ended January 31, 2010, compared to a profit of $241,464 for the nine months ended January 31, 2009, a decrease of 6.5%. We believe the service business has had revenue stability over the past few years and we expect this to continue.

Operating profits from management services related to gaming increased $111,380 from $786,126 for the nine months ended January 31, 2009, to $897,506 for the nine months ended January 31, 2010. Additional operating profits of $496,433 can be attributed to the sale of 104 acres of property developed for a casino in Dodge City, Kansas. We incurred additional expenses of approximately $330,000 towards consulting and management services during the nine months ended January 31, 2010.

Gaming - Boot Hill: Boot Hill opened for business on December 15, 2009. In the 48 days since opening we had gross revenues of $5,616,836. Kansas mandated taxes and distributions of 52.8% reduced our gross revenue by $2,705,174 leaving a net revenue of $2,911,662. Profits for the 48 days were $339,981.


Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A): Expenses were $5,507,237, or 28.4% of revenue, for the nine months ended January 31, 2010 compared to $3,006,539 or 21.8% of revenue for the nine months ended January 31, 2009. Of these costs $1,728,333 were directly related to Boot Hill and approximately $350,000 of additional consulting and payroll expense were directly related to the gaming developments. Selling, General and Administrative costs increased by $2,500,698 for the nine months ending January 31, 2010 compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2009.

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.


Obligations related to the gaming facility in Dodge City, Kansas (the Boot Hill Casino and Resort) are expected to be the lease payments by a new subsidiary BHCMC, L.L.C. ("BHCMC") related to a build-to-suit lease agreement for the turn-key casino. BNSC and BHC Investment Company, L.C. ("BHCI") will jointly own BHCMC. BHC Investment Company, L.C. is not a related party. Butler National does not own nor do our officers or directors have ownership in BHCI. Initially, BHCMC is planned to be owned 99.6% by BNSC and 0.4% by BHCI. BHCI has the option to purchase an additional 39.6% of BHCMC to complete the ownership at 60% BNSC and 40% BHCI. The BHCI option expires December 14, 2014. BHCI ownership is subject to background investigation by the Kansas Gaming and Racing Commission.

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.


Other than obligations related to the management expense of Boot Hill, and the purchase of the JET product line, we do not, as of January 31, 2010, have any material commitments for other capital expenditures other than the terms of the Indian Management Agreements should any additional casinos be authorized. We will need additional funds to complete our planned Indian gaming opportunities.

After a few gaming facilities become operational, gaming operations will generate additional working capital for the start up and construction of other gaming facilities. We expect that our start up and construction financing of gaming facilities will be replaced by other financial lenders, long term financing through debt issues, or equity issues.



Analysis and Discussion of Cash Flow

During the first nine months of fiscal year 2010 our cash position increased by $3,894,755. This increase is attributed to the following. Cash provided by operating activities was $5,569,751. We reported net income of $1,380,191 during the first nine months. Non-cash charges to income for depreciation and amortization were $834,282. Other cash used in operating activities included an increase in accounts receivable of $1,913,865 and a decrease in customer deposits of $312,554. The changes in accounts receivable by segment were 46% Aircraft Modification, 25% Avionics, 25% Gaming - Boot Hill, and 4% Management and Professional Services. We received deposits from BHC Development totaling $1,717,759 towards the option to purchase additional ownership in Boot Hill Casino and Resort. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other liabilities resulted in a net contribution of $2,416,550, of which $2,058,728 was related to Boot Hill, approximately $1,300,000 were the State of Kansas mandated expenses and $522,000 were accrued Boot Hill payroll expense. A decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets resulted in a contribution of $102,598. Inventory decreased by more than $1,913,865 as a result of the large shipment of products from our Avionics segment lowering inventory by $1,289,360 and the sale of new homes in Junction City, Kansas for the nine months lowering inventory by $645,216. In June 2009 we sold developed casino land in Dodge City, with a cost of $1,503,567.

Cash provided by financing activity was $1,553,515. We invested approximately $441,000 towards the purchase of land in Dodge City, Kansas. During the nine months ending January 31, 2010 we sold approximately 100 acres of property developed towards the casino in Dodge City, Kansas for approximately $2,000,000.

Cash used by financing activities was $3,238,511. We reduced our debt by approximately $3,136,000 and our line of credit by an additional $468,000. Cash provided by financing activities provided $375,000 towards the purchase of land.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates:

We believe that there are several accounting policies that are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies affect the reported amount of revenue and other significant areas involving management judgments and estimates. These significant accounting policies relate to revenue recognition, bad debts, the use of estimates, long-lived assets, Supplemental Type Certificates, advances to Indian gaming developments, and advances to state owned Lottery Gaming Facilities.

Revenue Recognition: Generally, we perform aircraft modifications under fixed-price contracts. Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the direct labor and material costs incurred compared to total estimated direct labor costs. Each quarter our management reviews the progress and performance of our significant contracts. Based on this analysis, any adjustment to sales, cost of sales and/or profit is recognized as necessary in the period they are earned. Changes in estimates of contract sales, cost of sales and profits are recognized using a cumulative catch-up, which is recognized in the current period of the cumulative effect of the change on current or prior periods. Revenue for off-the-shelf items and aircraft sales is recognized on the date of sale.

Revenue from Avionics products are recognized when shipped. Payment for these Avionics products are due within 30 days of the invoice date after shipment. Revenue for SCADA services, Gaming Management, and other Corporate/Professional Services is recognized as the service is rendered and invoiced. Payments for these service invoices are usually received within 30 days.

The net revenue from Gaming - Boot Hill is the net management fee revenue after State mandated payments.

In regard to warranties and returns, our products are special order and are not suitable for return. Our products are unique upon installation and tested prior to their release to the customer and acceptance by the customer. In the rare event of a warranty claim, the claim is processed through the normal course of business and may include additional charges to the customer. In our opinion any future warranty work would not be material to the financial statements.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Allowance for doubtful accounts are calculated on the historical write-off of doubtful accounts of the individual subsidiaries. Invoices are generally considered a doubtful account if no payment has been made in the past 90 days. We review these policies on a quarterly basis, and based on these reviews, we believe we maintain adequate reserves.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.

Impairment of Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets: The Company assesses our goodwill and other assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of that asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is measured by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition.

Supplemental Type Certificates: Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) are authorizations granted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for specific modification of a certain aircraft. The STC authorizes us to perform modifications, installations, and assemblies on applicable customer-owned aircraft. Costs incurred to obtain STCs are capitalized and subsequently amortized against revenues being generated from aircraft modifications associated with the STC. The costs are expensed as services are rendered on each aircraft through costs of sales using the units of production method. The legal life of an STC is indefinite. We believe we have enough future sales to fully amortize our STC development costs. The STC amortization of our newly acquired "JET" product line is calculated at 5% of the gross sales.

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 that project.

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 $5,153,174 at January 31, 2010 and $5,153,174 at April 30, 2009 in gaming developments. We have reserves of $3,346,623, at January 31, 2010 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.

Changing Prices and Inflation

We experienced little pressure from inflation. The majority of the increases we experienced were in material costs. This additional cost may not be transferable to our customers resulting in lower income in the future. We currently anticipate material costs, fuel costs and possibly interest rates to rise in fiscal 2010 and 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Please see Item 7(a) of our Form 10-K for the period ending April 30, 2009.


Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Our principal executive and financial officers have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective, based on criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by COSO.

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 January 31, 2010. 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 January 31, 2010.

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 January 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II.
OTHER INFORMATION

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 National Indian Gaming Commission ("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 Bureau of Indian Affairs ("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 the 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.

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. 

As of January 31, 2010, 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.
