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, 2010. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended October 31, 2010 are not indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ended April 30, 2011. |
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition - Milestone Method (Topic 605). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on applying the milestone method of revenue recognition in arrangements with research and development activities. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its revenue recognition when adopted. |
Advances for Gaming Developments: We have advanced funds for the establishment of gaming. These funds were 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 $4,718,991 at October 31, 2010 and at April 30, 2010 in gaming developments. We have reserves of $4,171,531, at October 31, 2010 and at April 30, 2010. 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. Net Income (Loss) Per Share: The Company adopted ASC 260 (Formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128) that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with ASC 260, any anti-dilutive effects on net earnings (loss) per share are excluded. |
5. Research and Development: We invested in research and development activities. The amount invested in the six months ended October 31, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $818,000 and $958,000 respectively. |

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
||
YEAR TO DATE OCTOBER 31, 2010 COMPARED TO YEAR TO DATE OCTOBER 31, 2009 Our revenue for the six months ended October 31, 2010 was $20,562,795, an increase of 96% from the six months ended October 31, 2009 with revenue of $10,479,147. Our operating profit for the six months ended October 31, 2010 was $716,619, compared to a profit of $1,310,391 for the six months ended October 31, 2009. Approximately $496,000 of the operating profit in 2009 can be attributed to the sale of land in Dodge City, Kansas. Other Income (Expense): Interest expense decreased from $215,125 in the six months ended October 31, 2009 to $182,010 for the six months ended October 31, 2010. |

Our operating profit for the three months ended October 31, 2010 was $780,437, compared to a profit of $112,634 for the three months ended October 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 2011 and beyond. Obligations related to the Gaming Facility in Dodge City, Kansas (the Boot Hill Casino and Resort) are the rent payments by our subsidiary BHCMC, L.L.C. ("BHCMC") for the agreement for the turn-key casino. Butler National Service Corporation ("BNSC") and BHC Investment Company, L.C. ("BHCI") jointly own BHCMC. BHCMC is currently 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. BHCI ownership is subject to background investigation by the Kansas Gaming and Racing Commission. BHCI is not a related party. We do not own nor do our officers or directors have ownership in BHCI. The Gaming Facility known as Boot Hill Casino and Resort was constructed and equipped by BHC Development, L.C., an unrelated real estate development company. BHC Development, L.C. rents the facility to BHCMC, LLC. 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. We may need additional funding to complete this expansion if not completed by a franchised vendor.
Cash used in investing activities was $1,258,006. We invested approximately $85,000 towards the purchase of 20 acres in Dodge City and approximately $15,000 towards building improvements. We purchased used machinery and equipment of approximately $792,000. We purchased a more efficient aircraft for the Aircraft Modifications and sold a less efficient aircraft for the net use of cash of $8,000. We purchased two engines for approximately $358,000. Income Taxes: Amounts provided for income tax expense are based on income reported for financial statement purposes and do not necessarily represent amounts currently payable under tax laws. Deferred taxes, which arise principally from temporary differences between the period in which certain income and expense items are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the period in which they affect taxable income, are included in the amounts provided for income taxes. Under this method, the computation of deferred tax assets and liabilities give recognition to enacted tax rates in effect in the year the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that we expect to realize.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures: Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 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 October 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 October 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting. |

PART II. |

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") that the Miami Princess Maria Reserve No. 35 is Indian land for the purposes of gaming under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. The question in the case has been remanded to the NIGC for further review. 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 Service Corporation and BHCMC, LLC filed a lawsuit on September 4, 2009 in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas against Larry J. Woolf and Navegante, Inc. a Las Vegas based consulting firm for damages for failing to perform and defective performance related to a written and executed consulting agreement. In October of 2009, Navegante filed a lawsuit with the District Court against Butler National Service Corporation, seeking damages for breach of an alleged oral agreement to provide management services. Navegante has alleged damages in excess of $75,000. Butler National Service Corporation denies the Navegante allegations and is vigorously defending the matter. Butler National Service Corporation is pursuing the recovery of its damages for breaches of contract. As of October 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. |
