GLOBAL CASINOS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2009
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Global Casinos, Inc. (Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Companys financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Companys management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Organization and Consolidation
Global Casinos, Inc. (the "Company or "Global"), a Utah corporation, operates two gaming casinos.
As of September 30, 2009, the Companys operating subsidiaries were 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, and Doc Holliday Casino II, LLC (a Colorado limited liability company), which operates the Doc Holliday Casino (Doc Holliday), located in the limited stakes gaming district of Central City, Colorado.
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.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates included herein relate to the recoverability of assets, the value of long-lived assets and liabilities, the value of share based compensation transactions, the long-term viability of the business, the future impact of gaming regulations, and future obligations under various tax statutes. Actual results may differ from estimates.
Risk Considerations
The Company operates in a highly regulated environment subject to the political process. Our retail gaming licenses are subject to annual renewal by the Colorado Division of Gaming. Changes to existing statutes and regulations could have a negative effect on our operations. The Colorado Gaming Commission requires that any beneficial owner of five percent or more of the Companys
8
securities, including holders of common stock, file an application for a finding of suitability. The gaming authority has the power to investigate an owner's suitability and the owner must pay all costs of the investigation. If the owner is found unsuitable, then the owner may be required by law to dispose of the securities. The Colorado Division of Gaming is currently requiring certain of the Companys shareholders to file an application for finding of suitability. If they are found by the division to be unsuitable, they could be required to divest their share positions. A contingency exists with respect this matter, the ultimate resolution of which cannot presently be determined.
In addition, since the Companys two gaming facilities are both located in the Central City and Black Hawk, Colorado geographic area, the potential for severe financial impact can result from negative effects of economic conditions within the market or geographic area. This concentration results in an associated risk and uncertainty.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivables. At September 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $436,000 of cash or cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by agencies of the U.S. Government.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The Company's financial instruments include cash, accrued gaming income, accounts payable, accrued expenses, other current liabilities and long-term debt. Except for long-term debt, the carrying value of financial instruments approximated fair value due to their short maturities.
The carrying value of long-term debt approximated fair value because interest rates on these instruments are similar to quoted rates for instruments with similar risks.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists of demand deposits and vault cash used in casino operations. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accrued Gaming Income
Gaming income represents the difference between the cash played by customers, and the cash paid out by the casino machines. On a regular basis, the cash representing the casinos revenue is pulled from the machines and deposited. However, this process does not always occur at the end of the last business day of the month. Accrued gaming income represents the amount of revenue (cash) in the machines that has not yet been pulled and deposited at the end of the reporting period. At September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009, $254,906 and $190,516 of income, respectively, was accrued and recorded as a current asset.
9
Inventories
Inventories primarily consist of food and beverage supplies and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the specific-cost method.
Land, Building and Improvements, and Equipment
Land, building and improvements, and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The building is depreciated over 31 years, and improvements and equipment are depreciated over five to seven years. Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $144,225 and $155,112, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management's judgment, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying value to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is determined as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with gaming industry practice, the Company recognizes casino revenues as the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Anticipated payouts resulting from our customer loyalty program (Sharpshooters Club), in which registered customers are awarded cash based on the frequency and amounts of their gaming activities are included in promotional allowances. In accordance with gaming industry practice, these promotional allowances are presented as a reduction of casino revenues.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses all advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising costs were $207 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates resulting from new legislation is recognized in income in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax
10
assets when management concludes that the "more likely than not" realization criteria has not been met.
Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share excludes potential common shares if the effect would be anti-dilutive. Potential common shares consist of incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options.
Potentially dilutive shares of 135,000 were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period, and represent out of the money stock options. Potentially dilutive shares of 223,213 were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period.
Stock-Based Compensation
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (the ASC) Topic 718, Stock Compensation, establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share based payment arrangements, and requires all entities to apply a fair value based measurement method in accounting for share based payment transactions with employees. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the period during which the holder is required to provide services in exchange for the award, i.e., the vesting period.
On September 2, 2008, the Companys board of directors granted a total of 90,000 shares of the Companys common stock to its members and certain members of senior management as consideration of services provided by the Companys directors and executive officers. The services were valued at $.50 per share, and as such $45,000 of stock based compensation was recorded and included in operating, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Comprehensive Income
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (the ASC) Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, provides guidance for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, there were no differences between reported net income and comprehensive income.
11
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (the ASC) Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, provides guidance for disclosure of derivative instruments and hedging activities. During the periods covered by the financial statements the Company did not have any derivative financial instruments and did not participate in hedging activities.
Segment Information
The Company currently operates in one business segment as determined in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (the ASC) Topic 280, Segment reporting. The determination of reportable segments is based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating decisions and assessing performance. All operations are located in the United States of America.
Recent Pronouncements
The FASBs Accounting Standards Codification is effective for all interim and annual financial statements issued after September 15, 2009. The ASC is now the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. The historical GAAP hierarchy was eliminated and the ASC became the only level of authoritative GAAP, other than guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our accounting policies were not affected by the conversion to ASC. However, we have conformed references to specific accounting standards in these notes to our consolidated financial statements to the appropriate section of ASC.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820) - Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value (ASC Update 2009-05). This update provides amendments to reduce potential ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. Among other provisions, this update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the valuation techniques described in ASC Update 2009-05. The Company will adopt ASC Update 2009-05 prospectively from October 1, 2009. We have not determined the impact, if any, that this update may have on our financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (ASC Topic 605): Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This update provides application guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the deliverables should be separated and how the consideration should be allocated to one or more units of accounting. This update establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific or third-party evidence is available. The Company will be required to apply this guidance prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after January 1, 2011; however, earlier
12
application is permitted. We have not determined the impact, if any, that this update may have on our financial statements.
2. NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT
Effective September 19, 2009, all of the secured obligations of Casinos, USA, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Casinos, Inc. matured and became due and payable. The secured obligations are secured by deeds of trust encumbering the Bull Durham casino property located in Blackhawk, Colorado. Management has been in communication with the noteholders concerning the need to extend the maturity dates of the notes. While no agreements have been reached as of the date of this report, we are engaged in active and cooperative discussions with two noteholders regarding terms for a refinance and extension of their notes. Until their maturity, all payments required under the notes have been made in a timely fashion. We intend to continue to make payments under the notes pending our efforts to renegotiate their maturity dates.
In addition, the note payable to the seller of Doc Holliday Casino acquired in March 2008, matured on March 31, 2009. The note did not bear interest, however upon its maturity a default interest rate of 8% with interest payments due monthly became effective. Efforts are underway to refinance or renegotiate the terms of the note, but no agreements have been made as of the date of this report. We intend to continue to make payments under the default terms pending our efforts to refinance this liability.
At September 30, 2009, notes payable and long-term debt consisted of the following:

3. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Preferred Stock
The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. These shares may be issued in series with such rights and preferences as may be determined by the Board of Directors.
Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
The Company's Board of Directors has authorized 2,000,000 shares of $2.00 stated value, Series A Preferred Stock. The preferred stock has a senior liquidation preference value of $2.00 per share. It does not bear dividends. The conversion privileges originally included with the stock have expired. The preferred stock originally contained a mandatory redemption feature that required the Company to redeem the outstanding stock on May 31, 1995 at a rate of $2.00 per share. On May 31, 1995, a majority of the preferred stockholders agreed to waive the mandatory redemption in consideration for a lower conversion price into common shares at $1.125 per share. Subsequently, holders of 1,205,750 shares of Series A preferred stock converted their holdings into common stock. The remaining 200,500 outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock are held by owners who chose not to participate in the revised offer and remain outstanding at September 30, 2009. During the year ended June 30, 2005, the Company determined that the mandatory redemption feature expired due to the statute of limitations. Accordingly, the Series A preferred stock was reclassified from current liabilities to stockholders' equity.
Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
The Company's Board of Directors has authorized 400,000 shares of $10.00 stated value, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B preferred stock is convertible into one share of the Company's common stock or may be redeemed at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. In addition, the Series B shares have a junior liquidation preference of $10.00 per share. Holders of the Series B preferred stocks are entitled to receive an annual dividend payable at the rate of 8% per annum, which is cumulative, and unpaid dividends bear interest at an annual rate of 12%. As of September 30, 2009 there were no shares outstanding.
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
In January 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company ratified the issuance of Series C preferred stock. The Company has authorized 600,000 Series C shares with a stated value of $1.20 per share. Series C shares are convertible into common stock at a rate of $1.20 per share. Holders of Series C preferred stock are entitled to vote and to receive dividends at the annual rate of 7% based on the stated value per share. In addition, the holders of Series C preferred stock are entitled to participate, pro rata, in dividends paid on outstanding shares of common stock. The dividends are cumulative
14
and unpaid dividends bear interest at an annual rate of 10%. As of September 30, 2009 there were no shares outstanding.
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
In February 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company established a series of the class of preferred stock designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (Series D preferred stock) and authorized an aggregate of 1,000,000 non-voting shares with a stated value of $1.00 per share. Holders of the Series D preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends at the annual rate of eight percent (8%) based on the stated value per share computed on the basis of a 360 day year and twelve 30 day months. Dividends are cumulative, shall be declared quarterly, and are calculated from the date of issue and payable on the fifteenth day of April, July, October and January. The dividends may be paid, at the option of the holder either in cash or by the issuance of shares of the Companys common stock valued at the market price on the dividend record date. Shares of the Series D preferred stock are redeemable at the Companys option. At the option of the holder shares of the Series D preferred stock plus any declared and unpaid dividends are convertible to shares of the Companys common stock at a conversion rate of $1.00 per share.
In March 2008, the Company completed a private offering of 700,000 shares of Series D Preferred stock. The $700,000 proceeds from the private offering were used as partial payment to the seller of Doc Holliday at the acquisition closing on March 18, 2008. On September 30, 2009, $14,311 of dividends were declared and are included in accrued expenses at September 30, 2009. All other quarterly dividends declared have been paid.
Common Stock
The Company has authorized 50,000,000 shares of $0.05 par value common stock.
On January 5, 2007, the stockholders approved a proposal to adopt and approve a reverse split of up to a ratio of one-for-five of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, and issued and outstanding options, warrants and other rights convertible into shares of our common stock, all at the discretion of our Board of Directors to be implemented in the future as and when determined by our Board of Directors. That reverse split has not been implemented.
On September 2, 2008, the Companys board of directors granted a total of 90,000 shares of the Companys common stock to its members and certain members of senior management as consideration of services provided by the Companys directors and executive officers. . The services were valued at $.50 per share, and as such $45,000 of stock based compensation was recorded and included in operating, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
On August 15, 2009, the Company issued to Clifford L. Neuman, the Companys President and a Director, 77,273 shares of common stock, $.05 par value pursuant to his cashless exercise of options exercisable to purchase 100,000 shares of common Stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. For purposes of the cashless exercise, the shares were valued at $0.44 per share, which was equal to 100% of the public trading price of the Common Stock on August 15, 2009 as quoted on the OTC
15
Electronic Bulletin Board. As a result, the Company received the surrender of 22,737 options in consideration of the cashless exercise.
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leases
The Doc Holliday Casino currently leases approximately 13,000 square feet of space used for its gaming activities, supporting offices and storage space for $25,362 per month under an operating lease that terminates in July 2015. The lease requires the Casino to pay for all building expenses until the landlord secures additional tenants to occupy the remaining building space. If the building is fully leased the Casinos proportionate share will be equal to 32% of the total building expense burden. The lease also provides for a credit against future monthly rent payments if the total building expenses increase by more than 3% over a base year calculation, and is calculated in April each year. At September 30, 2009 the total credit available to apply against future minimum rent payments through July 31, 2010 was $86,007. Net rent expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $60,786 and $67,754, respectively. Future minimum lease payments before application of rent credits for the fiscal years ending June 30 are as follows:
2010 | $ 228,258 | |
2011 | 304,344 | |
2012 | 304,344 | |
2013 | 304,344 | |
2014 | and thereafter | 329,706 |
Total | $ 1,470,996 |
5. INCOME TAXES
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes on income arising in, or derived from, the tax jurisdictions in which they operate.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are comprised mainly of net operating loss carry-forwards.
For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the reconciliation between the statutory federal tax rate and the effective tax rate as a percentage is as follows:
2009 | 2008 | |||
Statutory federal income tax rate | 34% | 34% | ||
Effect of net operating loss carry-forward | (34) | (34) | ||
-% | -% |
16
At June 30, 2009, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $5,787,000 available to reduce future taxable income. The net operating loss carry forwards expire in the years ending June 30 as follows:
2010 | 1,003,000 | ||
2011 | 518,000 | ||
2012 | 790,000 | ||
2013 | 1,985,000 | ||
2014 | 316,000 | ||
2015 | 985,000 | ||
2016 | 82,000 | ||
2023 | 108,000 | ||
$5,787,000 |
When more than a 50% change in ownership occurs, over a three-year period, as defined, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the utilization of net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards in the years following the change in ownership. Therefore, the Company's utilization of its NOL carry forwards may be partially reduced as a result of changes in stock ownership. No determination has been made as of September 30, 2009, as to what implications, if any, there will be in the net operating loss carry forwards of the Company. In addition, the Company has a limited history of earnings, and there is no guarantee of future earnings to offset the net operating loss carry forwards. The deferred tax asset of approximately $1,968,000 is offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operating loss carry forwards. The net increase in the valuation allowance was approximately $69,000 from June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009.
6. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
The Company has a Stock Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), that allows the Company to grant incentive stock options and/or purchase rights (collectively "Rights") to officers, employees, former employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries.
A summary of stock option activity is as follows:

The following table summarizes information about fixed-price stock options at September 30, 2009:

$ 1.00 | 135,000 | 3.3 years | $ 1.00 | 135,000 | $ 1.00 |
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility as well as expected trends for any known or expected events that might affect the volatility of our future stock prices. Because of the lack of historical forfeiture data, no adjustments to the expected option life were made for expected forfeitures. The expected life represents an estimate of the time options are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. treasury yield in effect at the time of grant.
For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 no options or warrants to purchase common stock were granted, and as such we recorded no compensation expense under the requirements as discussed above.
7. CONSULTING AGREEMENTS
On April 1, 2008 the Company entered into Consultation Agreement (Agreement) with an independent contractor to provide corporate development services. The Agreement was to terminate on September 1, 2008, but was extended by both parties on a month to month as needed basis by verbal agreement. The agreement required the Company pay the consultant a fee equal to $50,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, $-0- and $21,680, respectively, was charged to operating, general and administrative expenses.
In August 2008, we entered into an agreement with a marketing firm to provide investor relations services. The agreement had an original term of six months and has been extended on a month to month basis, and requires a monthly fee of $2,000.
On August 24, 2009 the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement (Agreement) with a corporate marketing firm to assist us in our efforts to refinance our existing debt, and to assist us in developing other possible strategic alternatives. The agreement requires the Company to pay a retainer in the amount of 10,000 shares of the Companys common stock. As of September 30, 2009
18
the shares, with a value of $3,500, or $0.35 per share, had not yet been issued and as such, the amount due is included in accrued expenses at September 30, 2009.
8. RELATED PARTIES
An officer and director operates a law firm that provides legal services to the Company. During the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, his billings to the Company totaled $15,230 and $17,975 respectively. At June 30 and September 30, 2009, amounts due to him were $10,657 and $13,887, respectively, and are included in accounts payable, related parties.
The Company contracts with an officer to provide management and accounting services to the Company. During the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, his billings to the company for services were $6,200 and $12,200, respectively. At June 30 and September 30, 2009, amounts due him were $7,850 and $6,550, respectively, and are included in accounts payable, related parties.
On August 29, 2008, the Company awarded an aggregate of 90,000 shares of common stock, $.05 par value, valued at $0.50 per share in consideration of services provided by the Companys directors and executive officers.
9. INVESTMENT IN GLOBAL GAMING TECHNOLOGIES
On February 28, 2006, the Company entered into an Organization Agreement with a certain individual to form a for-profit limited liability company under the name of Global Gaming Technologies, LLC (GGT). Under the terms of the Agreement, the individual contributed to GGT all of his intellectual property rights related to two games of poker, which he individually developed. The Company agreed to make an initial cash capital contribution to GGT of $100,000, for which it received a 25% equity interest in GGT. At the Companys election, it may make an additional $100,000 cash capital contribution to GGT for which it will receive an additional 25% equity interest. The initial cash contribution will be used to further develop the two games and to investigate possible patent protection. At the present time, both games are still under development and neither has been approved for use in any gaming jurisdiction. As of September 30, 2009, GGT had no revenues.
The investment is being accounted for under the equity method. Its cash outlays have primarily been related to investigating patent protection for the products under development and for various product development, organizational start-up costs and limited marketing efforts. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 we have recorded $-0- and $1,198, respectively, for various GGT product development expenditures.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2009 we determined the investment in GGT was impaired due to GGTs inability to secure patents for the games in a reasonable time period which has provided significant uncertainty regarding the outcome of the patent process. Should patent protections not be obtained, the exclusivity of the games could be severely impaired, thereby significantly reducing the potential value of the games to GGT. Because of these uncertainties we believe the investment impairment is other than temporary, and as such we recorded an impairment charge of $50,410 at June 30, 2009.
19
As of September 30, 2009, the Company has made cash payments to GGT of $74,150 as part of the initial $100,000 cash capital payments required under the Agreement. The remaining $25,850 obligation is recorded as a current liability.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (the ASC) Topic 855, Subsequent Events, provides guidance on the principles and requirements of disclosures of events occurring after the most recent period reported but prior to the issuance of our financial statements. Management has evaluated these principles and requirements and has concluded that no events occurring subsequent to the date of the most recent period reported, and up to the date of this report are appropriate for disclosure under this guidance.

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.
As of September 30, 2009, our operating subsidiaries were 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, and Doc Holliday Casino II, LLC (a Colorado limited liability company), which operates the Doc Holliday Casino (Doc Holliday), located in the limited stakes gaming district of Central City, Colorado.
Our operations are seasonal. Our casinos typically experience 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 licenses are subject to annual renewal by the Colorado Division of Gaming. Changes to existing statutes and regulations could have a negative effect on our operations.
21
Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2008
We recognized net income attributable to common shareholders after $14,311 of dividends on our Series D preferred stock of $131,134 ($0.02 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders after dividends of $14,311, of $(28,691) ($0.00 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in our net income attributable to common shareholders is primarily the result of a 0.6% increase in our casino revenues, and an 8.7% decrease in our operating expenses.
Revenues
Casino revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $1,721,262 compared to $1,709,765 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, an increase of $11,497 or 0.7%. Total casino revenues for the Bull Durham were $1,041,926 and $1,033,371, an increase of $8,555 or 0.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Total casino revenues for Doc Holliday were $679,336 and $676,394, an increase of $2,942 or 0.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Total casino coin-in was up 5.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008, and we also experienced a 0.25% decrease in our hold percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Promotional allowances primarily include anticipated redemptions associated with the Bull Durham Casinos Sharpshooters Club which awards customers with cash payouts dependent upon the frequency and amount of their gaming activities on our slot machines. The total allowances increased by $1,062 from $39,142 to $40,204 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
Operating Expenses
Casino operations: Includes all expenses associated with the operations of the Bull Durham Casino and the Doc Holliday Casino for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The following table summarizes such expenses for comparison and discussion purposes:
22

$ 1,462,551 | $ 1,537,921 | $ (75,370) | -4.9% |
Labor & Benefits: Includes all salary and contract labor costs associated with the operations of the casinos, payroll taxes, as well as costs associated with the casinos employee benefit and health insurance plans. The 3.1% decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in casino salaries and wages, particularly at the Doc Holliday Casino which realized a decrease of approximately $18,000. As a result, total labor and benefits costs as a percentage of casino revenues decreased from 33.0% to 31.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
Marketing & Advertising: Includes all costs associated with our advertising and marketing efforts including promotional activities designed to drive customers to our casinos, and programs designed to foster customer loyalty. The 4.1% decrease is primarily attributed to a decrease in periodic purchases of marketing supplies at the Bull Durham Casino and decreases in charter bus services.
Depreciation & Amortization: Primarily includes depreciation on our gaming equipment, casino building improvements, furniture and fixtures, as well as amortization on our customer tracking software. The decrease of $10,887 is attributable to decreases in the casino depreciable asset bases resulting from our efforts to upgrade existing slot machines versus purchasing of new machines during the past year due to capital constraints and efforts to reduce operating expenses. However, we are continuing our efforts to upgrade and maintain the quality and appearance of the machines in both casinos as part of our strategy to provide the best customer experience possible to enhance customer loyalty.
Food & Beverage: Includes all costs associated with our bar and limited menu food services. Total food and beverage costs as a percentage of casino revenues has remained steady at 5.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
23
Repair, Maintenance & Supplies: Includes costs associated with the general upkeep of the facility, as well as parts and repair efforts to maintain the quality of our slot machines. The decrease of $4,860 is primarily attributable to decreases in purchases of casino supplies and equipment replacement parts. Total repair, maintenance and supplies costs as a percentage of casino revenues decreased from 3.6% to 3.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
Device Fees: Includes fees paid to the local jurisdictions of the casinos based on the number of slot machines in operation. We have generally maintained a consistent number of machines operating in the casinos.
Professional Fees: Includes all costs and fees associated with legal services, accounting and auditing services, and the Board of Directors of Casinos USA (d/b/a The Bull Durham Saloon & Casino). Total professional fees include payments to the Board of Directors of Casinos USA of $21,000 and $20,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The fees are paid directly from the operations of the Bull Durham Casino.
Insurance, Taxes & Licenses: Includes all non-payroll taxes, liability and property insurance, and licenses associated with the operation of the casinos. The decrease of $8,368 is attributed to reductions in the liability and property insurance accruals for the Doc Holliday operations. Total insurance, taxes and licenses as a percentage of casino revenues decreased from 3.3% to 2.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
Utilities & Telephone: Includes all costs associated with the casinos telephone systems, cell phone usage, and utility costs. The decrease of $8,305 is primarily attributed to decreases in electricity costs at the Doc Holliday casino for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008. Total utilities and telephone costs as a percentage of revenues decreased from 3.2% to 2.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
Occupancy: Includes lease costs of the Doc Holliday Casino, which leases approximately 13,000 square feet of space used for its gaming activities, supporting offices and storage space under an operating lease that terminates in July 2015. Effective August 1, 2008, the monthly lease payments escalated to $25,362 from $17,029 per month. The lease requires the Casino to pay for a portion of the building expenses until the landlord secures additional tenants to occupy the remaining building space. To the extent the Casino pays total building expenses in excess of the Casinos portion as defined by the lease, any excess amounts paid are credited to the following lease years rent payments. As of September 30, 2009, prepaid rent credits available to offset future rent payments was approximately $86,000 and are recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets. The difference between the amount recorded as occupancy expense and the scheduled rent payments is due to the amortization of available prepaid rent credits resulting from certain prior payments of building expenses as discussed above.
Other Casino Expenses: Includes all other costs of the casino operations not included in the above categories, including travel, armored car services, postage, casino entertainment, employee education programs, and lease costs associated with off-site storage units. Total other casino expenses as a
24
percentage of revenues was 1.4% and 1.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Operating, general, and administrative expenses: Generally includes all expenses associated with the operations of the parent entity, Global Casinos, Inc., including legal and executive services provided by the companys principal executive officer, accounting services provided by the companys principal accounting officer, as well as clerical and bookkeeping services, corporate marketing efforts, stock-based compensation costs relating to the companys executive officers, directors, and subsidiary management.
Total operating, general, and administrative costs were $35,709, as compared to $102,737 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decrease of $67,028 or 65.2%, and is attributable to two primary factors. First, on September 2, 2008 the Company awarded an aggregate of 90,000 shares of common stock valued at $45,000 ($.50 per share) in consideration of services provided by the Companys directors and executive officers. No stock compensation expense was incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Second, on April 1, 2008 we entered into a consulting agreement with an independent contractor to provide corporate development services. The agreement required us to pay the consultant a fee equal to $50,000 payable in sums of not less than $10,000 per month. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, $21,680 was charged to consulting expense under the agreement. The Agreement was to terminate on September 1, 2008, but was extended by both parties on a month to month as needed basis by verbal agreement. No consulting expense has been recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Corporate occupancy: In June 2008, we began utilizing certain office functions and systems managed by the Companys president and chief executive officer in Boulder, Colorado. As such, we have significantly reduced our corporate office space requirements and do not expect additional further office space or services will be required under the current corporate operating structure.
Other than the above discussed items, there were no significant variances in operating, general, and administrative costs between the comparable periods.
Stock based compensation: Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the period during which the holder is required to provide services in exchange for the award, i.e., the vesting period. We elected the modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. For the three months ended September 30, 2008 we recognized $45,000 of stock based compensation associated with the stock awards to the Companys directors and executive officers as discussed above. No stock compensation expense was incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
25
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $37,353 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $42,047 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, and primarily represents regularly scheduled payments on various senior and junior mortgages collateralized by the Bull Durham Saloon and Casino real estate, as well as certain debt incurred to facilitate the acquisition of the Doc Holliday Casino in March 2008. The decrease is generally attributable to decreasing loan balances on our mortgage obligations. Interest expense is partially offset by interest income earned on certain cash balances maintained at financial institutions.
Loss on asset disposals
During the three ended September 30, 2008 we disposed certain casino equipment with a book value of $1,500, for which we received $400. The resulting $1,100 loss was recorded as a loss on asset disposals. No disposals resulting in gains or losses were made during the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Other
Global Gaming Technologies: On February 28, 2006, we entered into an Organization Agreement with a certain individual to form a for-profit limited liability company under the name of Global Gaming Technologies, LLC (GGT). GGT was formed for the purpose of bringing to market two games of poker developed by the other party to the agreement, whose contribution included all of his intellectual property rights related to the two games which he developed. At the present time, both games are still under development and neither has been approved for use in any gaming jurisdiction. At this time GGT has no revenues and none are expected until such time that patent protections are secured and significant marketing of the games can commence. The investment is being accounted for under the equity method. Its cash outlays have primarily been related to investigating patent protection for the products under development and for various product development and organizational costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2008 we recorded $1,198 for various GGT organizational, product development and marketing expenditures.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2009 we determined the investment in GGT was impaired due to GGTs inability to secure patents for the games in a reasonable time period which has provided significant uncertainty regarding the outcome of the patent process. Should patent protections not be obtained, the exclusivity of the games could be severely impaired, thereby significantly reducing the potential value of the games to GGT. Because of these uncertainties we believe the investment impairment is other than temporary, and as such we recorded an impairment charge of $50,410 at June 30, 2009 to write off the balance of our equity investment.
Series D Preferred Stock: Holders of our Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of 8% per year, declared quarterly and payable the 15th day of April, July, October and January of each year. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, dividends of $14,311 were declared on the Series D Preferred Stock, and are included in accrued expenses at September 30, 2009.
26
Net Operating Loss Carryover: For federal income tax purposes, Global has a net operating loss carryover (NOL) approximating $5,787,000, 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. We do not believe the acquisition of Doc Holliday will result in impairment of our NOL. However, there is no guarantee that Global will be able to utilize its NOL before it expires and accordingly, 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. As of September 30, 2009, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries have commercial bank credit facilities. Consequently, we believe that cash necessary for future operating needs must be internally generated though operations. Cash flow at one of the Companys operating subsidiaries, Bull Durham, has been sufficient to fund operations and we believe that cash flow will be sufficient during the next twelve months to continue our operations. Cash flows from our other operating subsidiary, Doc Holliday, have not been sufficient to fund its operations and necessary capital improvements, however operating changes we have implemented since its acquisition in March 2008, have stabilized its cash flows to near break-even. From time to time, we have depended on funds received through debt and equity financing to address operating shortfalls and capital requirements. 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 if necessary, as there is no legal obligation on these parties to provide such loans.
Effective September 19, 2009, all of the secured obligations of Casinos, USA, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Casinos, Inc. matured and became due and payable. The secured obligations are secured by deeds of trust encumbering the Bull Durham casino property located in Blackhawk, Colorado. Management has been in communication with the noteholders concerning the need to extend the maturity dates of the notes. While no agreements have been reached as of the date of this report, we are engaged in active and cooperative discussions with two noteholders regarding terms for a refinance and extension of their notes. Until their maturity, all payments required under the notes have been made in a timely fashion. We intend to continue to make payments under the notes pending our efforts to renegotiate their maturity dates.
In addition, the note payable to the seller of Doc Holliday Casino acquired in March 2008, matured on March 31, 2009. The note did not bear interest, however upon its maturity a default interest rate of 8% with interest payments due monthly became effective. Efforts are underway to refinance or renegotiate the terms of the note, but no agreements have been made as of the date of this report. We
27
intend to continue to make payments under the default terms pending our efforts to refinance this liability.
At September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,538,881, substantially all of which was utilized in our casino operations. Pursuant to state gaming regulations, the casinos are required to maintain cash balances sufficient to pay potential jackpot awards. Our cash balances at September 30, 2009 were in excess of funds required by gaming regulations.
Our working capital increased by $231,422 to a working capital deficit of $(922,926) at September 30, 2009 from a working capital deficit of $1,154,348 at June 30, 2009. The working capital deficit is entirely due to our mortgage debt and debt associated with the acquisition of the Doc Holliday casino now due or maturing within one year, and as such is classified as short term liabilities at September 30, 2009. Cash flows generated from our operations have been sufficient to service the monthly installments on the mortgage debt. As discussed above, we are currently exploring our options to renegotiate or refinance all our debt obligations. There can be no assurance these efforts will be successful.
Cash provided by operating activities was $255,671 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, operating activities provided net cash of $181,157. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of increased operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Cash used by investing activities was $43,937 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, and represents purchases of gaming and security equipment. Cash provided by investing activities was $400 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, and represents proceeds received on the disposal of certain equipment. Also, during the three months ended September 30, 2008 we acquired $26,053 of gaming equipment in non-cash vendor financing arrangements. Lacking other financing options, we expect some of the equipment financing activity to continue to be short-term financing by our vendors under similar terms.
For the year ended June 30, 2010 and depending upon available capital resources, we expect to acquire approximately $250,000 in gaming equipment and other capital items, primarily to continue our efforts to upgrade and purchase new slot machines and leasehold improvements at the Doc Holliday Casino designed to improve the customer experience. We are also contemplating installing a customer tracking system at the Doc Holliday casino similar to the system operating at the Bull Durham casino. Such a system would require the outlay of approximately $400,000, and as of the date of this report no specific financing has been obtained.
Cash flows used by financing activities were $50,927 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to cash used of $101,642 during the year ended June 30, 2008. Principal payments on debt totaled $36,771 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, and represents principal payments on our mortgage debt, debt associated with the acquisition of the Doc Holliday casino, and equipment financing obligations. Principal payments on debt totaled $87,486 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, and also represent principal payments on our mortgage debt, debt associated with the March 2008 acquisition of the Doc Holliday casino, and equipment financing obligations.
In March 2008, we completed a private offering of 700,000 shares of Series D Preferred stock with a stated value of $1.00 per share. The preferred stock is redeemable at any time only at the option of
28
the Company. At the option of the holder, each preferred share is convertible to one share of the Companys common stock. Holders of our Series D Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of 8% per year, declared quarterly and payable the 15th day of April, July, October and January of each year. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, dividends of $14,156 were declared and subsequently paid during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, dividends of $14,311 were declared on the Series D Preferred Stock, and are included in accrued expenses at September 30, 2009.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Securities and Exchange Commission regulation S-K.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates included herein relate to the recoverability of assets, the value of long-lived assets and liabilities, including estimates of liabilities incurred under customer rewards programs, the value of share based compensation transactions, the long-term viability of the business, the future impact of gaming regulations, and future obligations under various tax statutes. Actual results may differ from estimates.
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.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a. Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, have established and are currently maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. The disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer conducted a review and evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Report, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
b. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
c. Limitations of any Internal Control Design
Our principal executive and financial officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive and financial officer have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at
30
doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company 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. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors
The following is an additional risk factor concerning our business as a result of current economic conditions in the United States.
Current difficult conditions in the financial services markets may materially and adversely impact our business
Dramatic declines in the values of, among other things, various derivative instruments, credit default swaps and the housing market during the prior year, with falling home prices and increasing foreclosures and unemployment, have resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by financial institutions, including government-sponsored entities and major commercial and investment banks. Many lenders and institutional investors have reduced, and in some cases, ceased to provide funding to borrowers, including other financial institutions. This market turmoil and tightening of credit have also led to an increased level of commercial and consumer delinquencies, lack of consumer confidence, increased market volatility and possibly a general reduction of business activity. A continuation of these conditions could have, among other things, the following potential negative effects:
1)
A reduction in discretionary spending by consumers could significantly impact the customer traffic and revenues of our casino operations; and,
2)
While we do not depend on credit from the financial markets to finance our operations, all our long-term debt matured during 2009. Within the past several months, the financial markets have experienced disruption that has had a dramatic impact on the availability and cost of capital and credit. Our ability to re-finance our matured long-term debt is affected by the current financial market conditions. If we are successful in obtaining financing of our long-term debt, there can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate rates and terms similar to those we currently have, and such negotiated rates could be significantly higher than those currently existing on our matured long-term debt.
