Notes to Financial Statements

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements of Florida Gaming Corporation (the "Company") have been prepared without audit for filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, it is suggested that the accompanying financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

Certain information and notes have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Commission. The financial information presented herein, while not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year, reflects all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of the Company, are necessary to a fair statement of the results for the periods indicated.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Florida Gaming Corporation (the Company) operates live jai alai games at frontons in Ft. Pierce, and Miami, Florida through its Florida Gaming Centers, Inc. subsidiary (Centers). The Company also conducts intertrack wagering (ITW) on jai alai, horse racing and dog racing from its facilities.  Poker is played at the Miami and Ft. Pierce Jai-Alai, and dominoes are played at the Miami Jai-Alai.     In addition, the Company operates Tara Club Estates, Inc. (“Tara”), a residential real estate development  located near Atlanta in Walton County, Georgia.  Approximately 45% of the Company's common stock is controlled by the Company's Chairman either directly or beneficially through his ownership of Freedom Holding, Inc.

Basis of Presentation: These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
 
Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful life of the related assets as follows:

Buildings

Long-lived assets: The Company's investment in its residential and commercial property is carried at cost. We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment ("ASC 360") which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets.
 
Bad Debt Reserve: The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company's estimate is based on historical losses, changes in volume and economic conditions impacting the current receivables.
There was no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded for  the three months and nine months ending September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010.

Inventory: The Company's inventory, consisting of food and beverage products and souvenirs, is stated at the lower of cost or market using the First-In First-Out method to assign cost. Inventory market values exceeded its cost at  September 30, 2011.

Other comprehensive income:  The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income.” The Company had no “other comprehensive income” during either year presented. Accordingly, comprehensive income is equal to net income at September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010.

Pari-mutuel Wagering: Revenue is derived from acceptance of wagers under a pari-mutuel wagering system. The Company accepts wagers on both on-site and ITW events. On-site wagers are accumulated in pools with a portion being returned to winning bettors, a portion paid to the State of Florida, and a portion retained by the Company. ITW wagers are also accepted and forwarded to the "host" facility after retention of the Company's commissions. As of  September 30, 2011,  and  September 30,  2010 the Company's unclaimed winnings (outs) totaled $67,688  and $123,718, respectively.

Revenue Recognition:: The Company recognizes revenue from gaming operations in accordance with ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” which requires revenues to be recognized when realized or realizable and earned. Jai-Alai and inter track mutuel commissions are recognized immediately upon completion of the event upon which the related wagers are placed. In general, wagers are placed immediately prior to the event and are made in cash or other good funds so collectability is not an issue. Revenues derived from admission, program sales, food and beverage sales, card room activities, and other revenues are recognized at the time of the transaction. Revenues from the Company’s real estate operations are recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 360-20, “Real Estate Sales”, which generally allows the Company to record all profit on real estate sales at closing unless the down payment is insufficient to accrue the revenue.

Income Taxes:   The Company utilizes the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company follows ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” regarding accounting for income tax uncertainties. ASC Topic 740 states that a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company maintained no net tax assets at September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010.

It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for all years prior to and including 2006.

Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Real Estate Development: The Company's Tara Subsidiary accounts for the cost of lots sold by dividing the acquisition and development costs by the number of lots developed.
 
 
8

 
 
Compensated Absences: The Company has not accrued compensated absences for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2011 and 2010 because the amounts cannot be reasonably estimated.

Effect of Implementing Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2011-05, which updates the guidance in ASC Topic 220, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 specifies that entities are required to present total comprehensive income either in a single, continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive, statements, and that entities must display adjustments for items reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in both net income and other comprehensive income. The provisions for this pronouncement are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company intends to adopt the standard during 2012.

(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic income (loss) per common share is determined by dividing income (loss), less required dividends declared on preferred shares, and dividends on cumulative preferred stock for the period,  divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per common share is determined by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued upon exercise of dilutive stock options, assuming proceeds are used to repurchase shares pursuant to the treasury stock method plus the weighted average number of shares that would be issued if holders of the Company's preferred stock converted those shares to common stock using the “if converted” method. Diluted loss per common share is not presented when the resulting calculation is antidilutive relative to basic loss per common share.

The net loss per common share for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 were calculated based upon reducing net loss attributable to common stock shareholders by dividends declared on preferred stock which was $114,758, for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 and $134,758 for the three months ended September 30, 2010,  by the weighted average number of outstanding shares. The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic net loss per common share for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was 4,037,293 and 3,888,959, respectively.

The net loss per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 were calculated based upon reducing net loss attributable to common stock shareholders by dividends declared on preferred stock which was $380,976, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 and $404,273 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010,  by the weighted average number of outstanding shares. The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic net loss per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was 3,946,554 and 3,888,959, respectively.

Weighted average shares were not adjusted for common stock equivalence in the determination of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine  months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 because the effect would be antidilutive.

(4)    OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

The fair value of options and warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model consistent with ASC Topics 718 and 505-50.  The Black-Scholes option pricing model uses assumptions for inputs including the risk free rate of return, expected forfeitures, expected volatility, expected term, and expected dividends.  The risk-free rate of return for the option or warrant life is based on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected option term.  Expected forfeitures are based on environmental factors tied to the options and warrants as well as historical behavior.  Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock.  Expected terms are generally based on the options contractual term unless environmental factors reflect that the option holder would likely exercise their option sooner.    During the quarter ended September 30, 2011 the Company extended 362,500 options that were going to expire on July 11th, 2011.  No new options or warrants were issued during the quarter or nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The Company extended 362,500 during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company had 20,000 options expire and the Company issued 30,000 warrants.

On April 25, 2011, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (See Note 8) and at the closing, the Lenders received warrants, with a $0.01 exercise price, to acquire 35% (the “Base Percentage”) of the stock in Centers (the “Centers Warrants”) and such percentage may increase, in determination of the Exercise Percentage, depending on the number of slot machines that may become operational at a competing facility in the future.  The Base Percentage shall increase by one one-hundredth percent (0.01%), up to a maximum of 10.0%, for each slot machine made available for gaming at Hialeah Park Race Track at any time while the Centers Warrants are outstanding (the “Hialeah Increase”).  Centers may have the ability to reduce the Hialeah Increase by up to one-half, depending on actual financial performance in the future exceeding certain thresholds, by paying the Lenders an aggregate of $500,000 for each percentage point it wishes to deduct from the Hialeah Increase.  The Centers Warrants become exercisable upon the occurrence of any Trigger Event, which is defined to include the following: (a) the maturity date of the Term Loan; (b) the date upon which the Term Loan is repaid in full (the “Repayment Date”); (c) upon a change of control in Centers; (d) upon the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings (or any similar action or insolvency event) by Centers; and (e) if the maturity date of the Term Loan or the Repayment Date occurs prior to the fifth anniversary of the opening date of The Casino at Miami Jai-Alai (the “Opening Date”), then each anniversary of the Opening Date occurring after the Repayment Date and on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Opening Date.  In addition, Centers is obligated to make an offer to repurchase the Centers Warrants upon the occurrence of any Trigger Event.  The amount of the repurchase offer is equal to the Net Company Value multiplied by the Exercise Percentage.  Depending on which Trigger Event occurs, the Net Company Value will either be Centers’ Appraised Value as defined in the Warrant Agreement or the fair market value of the Net Proceeds received in connection with a transaction causing an Ownership Transfer Date.  (For further information please see Form 8-K filed April 27, 2011, Exhibit 4.2)

In addition, at the closing, the Lenders received warrants in the Company currently equal to 30.0% of its fully diluted common equity ownership (the “Company Warrants” and collectively with the Centers Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Company Warrants have a $25 exercise price; however, if (i) the Lenders’ construction consultant determines that Centers will need to access any amount of a $3.0 million completion guarantee (thus representing that the Project is “Out of Balance”), which has been funded by the Term Loan, to complete the Project on time and on budget and (ii) the Company and Centers have not raised new equity to replace the $3.0 million completion guarantee and thereby cancel the Company Warrants at anytime from the closing until 30 days after the Project is determined to be Out of Balance, the Company Warrants shall become exercisable at $0.01. If the Company is successful at raising new equity to replace the completion guarantee, the $3.0 million shall be used to prepay the Term Loan at par upon receipt of such proceeds. Similarly, if the Company is able to complete the Project on time without going Out of Balance, the completion guarantee will be canceled upon the Opening Date and the $3.0 million shall be used to prepay the Term Loan at par and the Company Warrants cancelled.  (For further information please refer to Form 8-K filed April 27, 2011, Exhibit 4.1)

The Company did not account for the warrants at the time of issuance because there are too many contingencies on the warrants becoming exercisable for either Centers or  the Company.  The Company warrants will only be valid if the Company needed to access any of amount of the $3.0 million completion guarantee which was funded by the term loan to complete the project on time. Even then, the Company would have the right to raise new equity to replace the completion guarantee and the warrants would be canceled.   The Company does not anticipate accessing any amount of the $3.0 million.  Centers is not publicly traded and at this time the potential value of the warrants cannot be determined.  The Credit Agreement requires that once a trigger event occurs, the Company will have to hire an arbitrator and calculate the value of the company, the debt owed,  and  the value of the warrants.
 
(5) REAL ESTATE HELD FOR SALE

As of September 30, 2011, the Company's subsidiary, Tara Club Estates, Inc. held six (6) residential lots at its’ residential real estate development (“Tara”), which are situated in Loganville, Walton County, Georgia with an aggregate carrying value of $234,000.

(6) TAXES

At December 31, 2010, the Company had tax net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $24,776,000 available to offset future taxable income.  These NOL carryforwards expire twenty years from the year in which the losses were incurred or at various intervals through fiscal 2030.
 
Effective July 1, 1998, tax relief legislation was enacted by the State of Florida stipulating that jai alai permit holders incurring state taxes on handle and admissions in an amount exceeding its operating earnings (before deduction of certain expenses such as depreciation and interest) for the prior year are entitled to credit such excess amounts against pari-mutuel taxes due and payable. Tax credits are used to satisfy the Company's obligation to pay taxes incurred on handle and admission. Tax credits used, depreciation expense and interest expense are all excluded from the statutory calculation of operating earnings or loss in the determination of the amounts of future tax credits.
 
The Company’s Tampa Jai-Alai Permit (the fronton closed in 1998) retain such tax credits carried forward totaling $1,362,265.  The Company’s Ft. Pierce facility has not incurred statutory operating losses and therefore has not earned any state tax credits.  For the years 2001 through 2010, Miami had unused credits totaling $2,352,201 and Summer Jai-Alai had $1,220,208 unused credits available for recovery.

­(8)  CREDIT AGREEMENT

On April 25, 2011, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) at its wholly owned subsidiary, Florida Gaming Centers, Inc. (“Centers”) with a syndicate of unaffiliated third party lenders (the “Lenders”) and ABC Funding, LLC, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders.  Innovation Capital, LLC served as exclusive Financial Advisor to the Company and Placement Agent on the debt financing.

The Credit Agreement provided for an $87,000,000 senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) that will mature on April 25, 2016.  The Term Loan was issued at a price of 98.0% and bears interest at a rate varying between 15.75% and 16.50%.  The net proceeds of the Term Loan was $83,520,000, after deducting fees and discounts to the Lenders related to the transaction.  The use of these funds is strictly governed by the Disbursement Agreement (Refer to Exhibit E of Exhibit 10.01 of the 8-K filed on April 27, 2011).  Among other things, collateral for the loan includes all of the Company’s unencumbered real estate, receivables, intangible assets, equipment, furniture and fixtures.  In connection with the loan, the lenders were granted warrants  for both  Florida Gaming Centers and Florida Gaming Corporation.  (For further information see Note 4)

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Term Loan to fund capital expenditures and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The capital expenditures encompass an expansion project at the Company’s Miami Jai-Alai fronton, which will include the development of a casino floor featuring approximately 1,000 new slot machines that will complement existing poker tables; upgraded food, beverage service and entertainment amenities; a renovated Jai-Alai venue; and approximately 1,500 surface parking spaces (the “Project” or “The Casino at Miami Jai-Alai”).

In addition to providing funds to develop the Project, including adequate reserves for interest payments and contingencies during construction, a portion of the Term Loan proceeds was used to repay approximately $8.9 million of existing debt and other payables, provided certain gaming licenses are obtained before such repayment.  On May 12, 2011 the Company received a license from the State of Florida to begin operating Class III- “Vegas Style” slot machine operations at Miami Jai-Alai.   With the receipt of the license,  the Company paid off approximately $8.9 million of existing debt.

Dependence on One Vendor: The Company depends on Sportech (formerly Scientific Games), a leading supplier of pari-mutuel wagering systems, to provide the computer systems that accumulate wagers, record sales, calculate payoffs and display wagering data accurately and in a secure manner. If Sportech failed to properly maintain their computer systems and software it could affect the security of wagering and the Company’s ability to serve its customers.

Florida Gaming  shall continue to manage and operate the Miami Jai Alai Facility, including but not limited to the premises set forth in the Lease Agreement during the Term (the "Management Services").  Florida Gaming shall conduct the minimum number of performances required under Florida law for the Summer Permit to be authorized and eligible to conduct pari-mutuel, intertrack wagering, and cardroom operations, but not more than One Hundred and Fifteen Percent  (115%) of such minimum required performances. Florida Gaming will employ and retain all of the personnel necessary to provide the Management Services,  at Florida Gaming's cost,  and Florida Gaming will also pay the costs of operating the Miami Jai Alai Facility during the Term.   Florida Gaming shall provide the Management Services substantially of the same level as it provides with respect to the conduct of live jai alai under the MJA Permit, and subject to the same terms and conditions.  Florida Gaming has a duty to maintain the Summer Permit.  Florida Gaming shall take all steps, at its expense, as may be necessary to keep the Summer Permit in good standing under applicable Florida Law.

The Partnership will pay $7,500 per performance (not more than 115% minimum required performances) to Centers to keep the license viable and maintain its value as a potential means of accessing a cardroom in the future.  If the Partnership obtains a license under Summer Permit to conduct cardroom operations at a location other than Miami Jai-Alai, the Partnership will remit to Florida Gaming four (4) percent of the Partnership’s weekly gross cardroom receipts to supplement prized paid in connection with live jai-alai games conducted at Miami Jai-Alai in accordance with Section 849.086(13)(d)1, Florida Statutes (2010).

 
Hialeah Park: On June 30, 2010, W. Flagler and Florida Gaming Centers filed a constitutional challenge regarding the enactment of changes to Florida Statutes in Chapter 551 that purport to enable the expansion of slot machine games in Miami Dade County to the site of Hialeah Park.  The Statutory Amendment conflicts with the Constitutional Provision, Article X, Section 23 in numerous ways.  The Leon County Circuit Court held the statute to be valid and that decision is presently on appeal to the Florida First District Court of  Appeal.  On October 6, 2011, a state appeals court upheld the ruling for Hialeah Park to have a casino with Las Vegas style slot machines.  (See Legal Proceedings)

The Company reviewed ASC 470-50-40 and used its guidance to determine if the new debt instrument was substantially different than the old debt.  The present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument is less than ten percent, and therefore we  determined that the new debt was not a substantially different debt instrument.   The Note was accounted for as debt refinance.

First Bank exercised all warrants in 2006. Effective October 31, 2005, Freedom and Centers entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and a Third  Amended and Restated Note in the principal amount of $2,400,000 with an 8% fixed rate of interest. On October 31, 2008, Centers note payable to Freedom matured and was subsequently refinanced with a $1,322,574 note payable issued November 1, 2008 to Freedom Holding, Inc. ("Holding"). Holding is  controlled by the Company’s Chairman and the CEO/President maintains ownership in Holding.  The Holding note was unsecured at an  interest rate of 10%, with all principal and interest due May 1, 2009.  The Note was subsequently renewed through September 1, 2011 (refer to 8-K filed March 5, 2010).   As an inducement to refinance the note, the Company issued Holding a warrant to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's $0.20 par value common stock at a price per share of $8.25. The warrant was exercisable at any time from November 1, 2008 through November 1, 2011.   Holding did not exercise their warrants and they expired November 1, 2011.

On April 25, 2011 the Company entered into a Modification, Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Holding.  Holding agreed to amend the note with Centers to release Centers from the obligations thereunder and accept Florida Gaming  Corp as the new borrower under the promissory notes.  Holding agreed to extend the maturity date to be at least six (6) months after the maturity date under the Credit Agreement, and convert all interest payments to be paid in kind instead of in cash and to subordinate the obligations under the promissory notes to those under the Credit Agreement. The Company reviewed ASC 470-50-40 and used its guidance to determine if the new debt instruments were substantially different than the old debt.   The present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument is less than ten percent, and therefore we  determined that the new debt was not a substantially different debt instrument.   The note was accounted for as a debt refinance.   At September 30, 2011, the Company owed Holding $1,723,678.  (See Form 8-K filed April 27, 2011)

(16) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC Topic 820 requires disclosures concerning fair value measurements and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

ASC Topic 820 requires disclosure of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  The following table presents the financial assets carried by the Company at fair value as of  September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 and by Topic 820 valuation hierarchy (as described above).

Any forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q or the documents incorporated herein by reference reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to the Company’s operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity. The factors specifically consider the factors identified in the Company’s  Form 10-K including under the caption “Risk Factors” should be considered.
 
References to “we”, “us”, “our”, “the registrant”, “Florida Gaming ” and “the Company” in this quarterly  report on Form 10Q shall mean or refer to Florida Gaming Corporation, unless the context in which those words are used would indicate a different meaning.

The Company is currently  in construction of the casino addition to the Miami Jai-Alai fronton. The addition will be approximately 35,000 square feet and is joined with the existing facility to provide approximately 45,000 square feet of casino floor as well as "back of house" support offices.  The casino floor will accommodate more than  1,000 slot machines, a card room, bars and restaurants, adding to the existing live jai-alai and simulcasting operation.

On January 6, 2009, Florida Gaming Corporation agreed to acquire a total of 10.982 acres of property from Miami-Dade County in exchange for a right-of-way of .492 acres to be used by the Miami-Dade Metro Rail, an overhead light rail system.  The total purchase price of the acreage (10.982) was $16,742,145. On April 6, 2009 Florida Gaming completed Phase 1 of its two-phase acquisition of  the 10.982 acres of property from Miami-Dade County.

On June 16, 2011, the Company completed  Phase Two of the purchase of the approximately 8.7 remaining acres for $13,393,716.   Phase 2 was to close no later than 60 days after the United States Corps of Engineers released the property free and clear of environmental contamination.  The Corp of Engineers released the property free and clear of environmental contamination and on  June 16, 2011, the Company and the County consummated the final closing on the remaining 8.67 acres of the undeveloped property.  At the final closing, the Company made a down payment of $1,339,371, representing 10% of the purchase price of the remaining 8.67 acres, and the County issued a new promissory note for $12,054,344 (the “Final Note”) representing the remaining amount owed by the Company on the 8.67 acres of Undeveloped Property which were the subject of the Final Closing.  The Note is for 15 years, with an interest rate of 7.25%.  The Company will defer payments until the earlier of September 15, 2012, or the date upon which slot machine operations are initiated by the Company.  A lump sum payment shall be due at the close of Initial Deferred Payment Period (Refer to 8-K filed July 21, 2011)

The agreement required the street closure resolutions to be presented to the County Board as a condition to the final closing, the rejection of which resolutions had the potential of decreasing the purchase price of the undeveloped property.  In accordance with the agreement, the street closure resolutions were presented to the county board before the final closing, and the county board approved the street closure resolutions on July 7, 2011.  Because the county board adopted the street closure resolutions and there was no mayoral veto by July 17, 2011, there was no adjustment to the purchase price.

Following the county board’s vote to close 37th Avenue, the Company is required to pay up to $1,000,000 for remediation of 36th Avenue.  In August, 2011, the Company paid $570,000 and the Company has  accrued the remaining $430,000. If within 36 months of this vote the county determines a need to expand 36th Avenue, then the Company will be required to dedicate a 20-foot wide by 812-foot long strip of the Undeveloped Property to accommodate an 80 foot right-of-way (the “Expansion Easement”) which may, at the County’s sole discretion, be constructed in the future.  The Company would also be required to pay for such street expansion to the extent of $4,700,000 through incremental draw-downs as described in the Settlement Agreement.  On June 16, 2011, the Company granted a right-of-way deed representing the Expansion Easement which will be held in escrow until such time as the County Board votes to expand 36th Avenue.

These actions allowed Miami Jai-Alai to grow from 8.9 acres to approximately 21 acres thereby accommodating any potential future build-out. This allows Miami Jai-Alai to virtually enclose its casino area and provide a controlled, safe and well illuminated facility. 

Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments, and select from a range of possible 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reported period.
 
On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts, accounts receivable, inventory allowances, asset lives, the recoverability of other long-lived assets, including property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, the realization of deferred income tax assets, remediation, litigation, income tax and other contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and judgments, to varying degrees, on historical experience, advice of external specialists and various other factors it believes to be prudent under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts and such estimates, assumptions and judgments are regularly subject to revision.

The policies and estimates discussed below are considered by management to be critical to an understanding of the Company's financial statements because their application requires the most significant judgments from management in estimating matters for financial reporting that are inherently uncertain.
 
The Company presents accounts receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, to ensure accounts receivable are not overstated due to uncollectibility. The allowances are calculated based on detailed review of certain individual customer accounts, historical rates and an assessment of the overall economic conditions as well as the aging of the accounts receivable. In the event that the receivables become uncollectible after exhausting all available means of collection, the company will be forced to record additional adjustments to receivables to reflect the amounts at net realizable value. The effect of this entry would be a charge to income, thereby reducing its net profit. Although the company considers the likelihood of this occurrence to be remote, based on past history and the current status of its’ accounts, there is a possibility of this occurrence.

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company's estimate is based on a review of the current status of receivables. The Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010.

In connection with losses incurred from natural disasters, insurance proceeds are collected on existing business interruption and property and casualty insurance policies. When losses are sustained in one period and the amounts to be recovered are collected in a subsequent period, management uses estimates to determine the amounts that it believes will be collected.  So far the Company’s estimates have proved to be reasonable.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its real estate development and other long-lived assets, annually under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 360, “Plant, Property, and Equipment” and ASC Topic 970 “Real Estate.”   Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets. Adjustments are made if the sum of expected future cash flows is less than book value. Based on management’s assessment of the carrying values of long-lived assets, no impairment reserve had been deemed necessary as of September 30, 2011.

Revenue is derived from acceptance of wagers under a pari-mutuel wagering system. The Company accepts wagers on both on-site and ITW events. On-site wagers are accumulated in pools with a portion being returned to winning bettors, a portion paid to the State of Florida, and a portion retained by the Company. ITW wagers are also accepted and forwarded to the "host" facility after retention of the Company's commissions. The Company recognizes revenue from gaming operations in accordance with ASC Topic 605 which requires revenues to be recognized when realized or realizable and earned.  Revenues derived from gaming operations including: mutuel, admission, program, food and beverage, card room, and other revenues are collected shortly before the earning events take place. The Company recognizes revenues from the Company's real estate operations in accordance with ASC Topic 360-20, and sales are generally recognized when consummated , which is upon the closing of the sale, unless the down payment is insufficient to accrue the revenue.

The Company's policy for unclaimed winning tickets follows the requirements as set forth by the State of Florida. Abandoned tickets are winning tickets that remain uncashed for a period of one year. The value of the abandoned tickets escheat to the state. These funds are deposited into the State School Fund for support and maintenance of Florida's public schools. During the first nine months of  2011, unclaimed winnings totaled $67,688 , compared to unclaimed winnings totaling $123,718 for the same period in 2010.

Competition
The gaming industry is highly competitive. Many gaming companies have substantially greater financial resources and larger management staffs than the Company. Because of the growing popularity and profitability of gaming activities, competition is significantly increasing. The Company competes for customers with other forms of legal wagering, including video poker gaming in non-casino facilities, charitable gaming, pari-mutuel wagering, state lotteries, Indian casinos, and cruise ships.
 
Further expansion of gaming opportunities not related to the pari-mutuel industry could also significantly and adversely affect the Company's business. In particular, the expansion of casino gaming in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties  which is near the geographic areas from which the Company attracts or expects to attract a significant number of its customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. The Company expects that it will experience significant competition as the emerging casino industry matures. The Company is now competing with Calder Casino, a slot facility in Florida adjacent to Calder Race Course, which opened on January 22, 2010 with approximately 1,200 slot machines  and Flagler Dog Track reopened in October 2009 as Magic City Casino with 700 Las Vegas-style slot machines.

The Company also faces competition from gaming companies that operate on-line and Internet-based gaming services. These services allow patrons to wager from home on a wide variety of sporting events. Unlike most on-line and Internet-based gaming, companies, the Company may require significant and ongoing capital expenditures for both its continued operation and expansion. The Company also could face increased costs in operating business compared to these gaming companies. The Company cannot offer the same number of gaming options as on-line and Internet-based gaming companies. In addition, many on-line and Internet gaming companies are based off-shore and avoid regulation under state and federal laws. These companies may divert wagering dollars from legitimate wagering venues. Competition in the gaming industry is likely to increase due to limited opportunities for growth in new markets. The Company's inability to compete successfully with these competitors could have a material, adverse affect on its business.

Under SB 622, the Seminole tribe gained the exclusive right to have blackjack and other table games at three Broward County casinos and two others in Imokalee and Tampa. All seven tribal casinos also would be able to keep operating Las Vegas-style slot machines.   Other portions of Chapter 2009-170 Laws of Florida, purports to permit Hialeah Race Course, located approximately 4 miles from Miami Jai-Alai, to open as a horse facility and operate slot machines after two consecutive years of quarter horseracing. 

Jai-Alai Industry
The jai-alai industry live handle (money wagered) generally has declined in the last several years, due to increased gaming competition such as casino gaming in Broward and Miami-Dade County,  Indian Casino Gaming, gambling cruise ships, and the State of Florida lottery. Also, competition in the sports/entertainment area has increased significantly due to more professional sports teams in the Company's market areas. There can be no assurance that the jai-alai industry will improve significantly, if at all, in the future. Because the Company's jai-alai business is tied directly to many, if not all, of the factors which influence the jai-alai industry as a whole, a players strike or the enactment of unfavorable legislation could have an adverse impact on the Company's operations.

All Florida permit-holders are authorized to engage in Inter-Track Wagering (“ITW”)  year-round, subject to certain restrictions, all of which are not discussed herein. ITW is permitted on thoroughbred racing, harness racing, dog racing, and jai-alai. ITW is permitted at a pari-mutuel facility so long as at least one facility in Florida is providing live pari-mutuel performances on any such day that ITW is offered.
 
 
25

 

Pursuant to the statute and subject to certain restrictions, Florida jai-alai frontons and dog racing tracks may receive broadcasts of dog races or jai-alai games conducted at tracks or frontons located outside of Florida ("out-of-state host facilities"). Among the restrictions applicable to such broadcasts, however, are the following: (1) that the receipt of out-of-state broadcasts by the Florida fronton or dog racing track (the "Florida guest facility") only be permitted during the Florida guest facility's operational meeting, (2) in order for the Florida guest facility to receive such broadcasts, the out-of-state host facility must hold the same type of class of pari-mutuel permit as the Florida guest facility, i.e., horse to horse, jai-alai to jai-alai, etc., (3) the guest facilities may not accept wagers on out-of-state races or games that exceed 20% of the total races or games on which wagers are accepted live. All wagering placed on out-of-state ITW broadcasts is included in the amount taxed pursuant to the Pari-Mutuel Law.

Each of the Frontons, as a guest facility when it participates in ITW, is entitled by statute to a minimum of 7% of the total contributions to the pari-mutuel pool when the ITW broadcast is by a host horse racing facility with the races run in Florida. Each of the Frontons is eligible by statute to receive a minimum of 5% of the total contributions to the pari-mutuel pool when the ITW broadcast is by facilities other than horse racing facilities (greyhound and jai-alai). In addition, each of the Frontons is authorized to receive admissions and program revenue when conducting ITW.

Card Room & Dominoes Development
Miami Jai-Alai opened a card room in 1997, and Ft. Pierce opened a card room on April 28, 2008. Poker is played at the Miami and Ft. Pierce Jai-Alai, and dominoes are played at the Miami Jai-Alai.

Card rooms are regulated by the Florida Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering (“DPMW”).  Permitted games are limited to non-banked poker games and dominoes.  Florida state taxes are 10% of revenue and 4% of the revenues are paid to the jai-alai players.

 
1.

Development of Slot Machines
On May 12, 2011, the Company received a license from the State of Florida to begin Class III-“Vegas Style” slot machine operations at Miami Jai-Alai.  The Company broke ground Wednesday, May 18, 2011 to celebrate construction of the casino addition at Miami Jai-Alai.  Miami Jai-Alai will undergo substantial renovations featuring a casino floor accommodating an initial 1,000 slot machines,  new card room featuring poker and dominoes, and all new food and beverage facilities.  The main auditorium will also receive upgrades making it more conducive for entertainment as well as the most exciting live jai-alai action in the world.  The facility will have approximately 1,500 surface parking spaces.  Development is expected to last between eight and nine  months.    Miami Jai-Alai will be able to operate:

 
·
up to 2,000 machines
 
·
have ATM machines at the facility
 
·
hours of operation during the week can be up to 18 hrs a day and 24 hours a day on weekends.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 COMPARED WITH THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS  ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,  2010

Revenue has decreased during the third quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2011, compared to the same period ending September 30, 2010.  Miami Jai-Alai is undergoing construction for a new casino, and due to the construction at the facility, Miami had to close their card room on March 27, 2011, and Miami did not offer live jai-alai during the month of September.  This resulted in lower attendance and contributed to the overall lower revenue.   The Company did see an increase in handle and revenue for live jai-alai for the quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2011, compared to the same period ending September 30, 2010.  During 2010, Miami did not offer live jai-alai at their facility due to ongoing construction and the players were moved to Ft. Pierce.  Ft. Pierce conducted live jai-alai from May 7, 2010 through August 28, 2010. Miami  has  stronger support for live jai-alai and therefore it is reflected in the higher handle and revenue for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Ft. Pierce  conducted a full schedule of Inter-Track Wagering (“ITW”) for the quarter and nine months ending September 30,  2011 and September 30, 2010.   Miami offers limited ITW product due to blackouts imposed because of its close proximity to other South Florida pari-mutuels.   During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, Ft. Pierce operated a cardroom and Miami’s cardroom was closed on March 27, 2011.  Both facilities  operated a card room, with the  Miami location also offering dominoes in its’ card room during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.    

Handle Analysis for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2011 compared to the Quarter ended September 30, 2010
Total handle (amount of money wagered) for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $4,996,624 compared to $6,374,871 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Of the $4,996,624, $2,777,150 was from live jai-alai and $2,219,474 was from inter-track wagering.  This compared to the total handle of  $6,374,871 of which $2,314,635 was from live jai-alai wagering and $4,060,236 was from inter-track wagering.   Guest handle continues to decline, with Miami offering only interstate transmission data, and there is limited simulcast at Ft. Pierce.  Live handle increased due to scheduling of live jai-alai at Ft. Pierce and Miami.

Total Pari-Mutuel  Revenues for the Quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to Quarter ended September 30, 2010
Pari-mutuel revenues (net of state pari-mutuel taxes) for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were $620,367 compared to pari-mutuel revenues of $714,722 the same period in 2010, a 13% decrease. Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 ($620,367) consisted of $416,349 in live jai-alai, and $204,018 for inter-track wagering.  This compares to $714,722 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010,  of which $364,524 from live Jai-Alai wagering and $350,198  from Inter-Track Wagering. Revenues for live jai-alai were higher due to the different scheduling at  Miami Jai-Alai and Ft. Pierce.  ITW revenues are  down due to a decline in attendance and limited simulcast options at Ft.Pierce.

Card Room Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010
Card room Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $783,863 compared to  $1,105,754 or the three months ended September 30, 2010 a $321,891 decrease.   Miami’s cardroom was closed during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
 
Admissions  for the quarter  ended September 30, 2011  compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010

Food, beverage and other income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010
Food, beverage and other income for the quarters ended September 30,  2011 and September 30,  2010 were $106,624 and $181,190, respectively. The decrease of $74,566 is primarily due to decreased concession and bar revenues sales due to fewer patrons at the facilities, due in part to construction and Miami and Miami offered no live product in September, 2011.

Real Estate Revenue for the quarter  ended September 30,  2011 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010
There were no real estate sales for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010.

Operating  Expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2010
The Company's operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $1,774,590 compared to $2,628,168 for the same period in 2010.  The components of  the Company’s operating expenses and their comparison to the third quarter last year are as follow:  Player costs, salaries, benefits, and support staff, represent a significant portion of operational expenses.  Player costs for the quarter  ending September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, were $494,227 and $427,253 respectively. Player costs were higher due to higher prize money.   Rental and service costs for totalizator wagering equipment and satellite receiving/television equipment also represent a significant portion of operating expenses.  These expenses totaled $147,194 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to $201,487 for quarter ended  September 30, 2010. The components of the 2011 wagering equipment and expenses were $34,458 in ITW tote, interface, and telephone charges; $33,200 in totalizator equipment rental; $28,050  in satellite charges and $51,486 in camera/television rental.

Operating expenses (including payroll costs)  for the cardroom, bar, program, souvenir, parking,  and concessions costs were $442,861 and $687,373 for the quarters ended September 30,  2011 and September 30, 2010,  respectively. A large portion of the decrease is attributed to the Miami cardroom being closed during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  Operating payrolls for mutuels, maintenance, admissions, office, security and contract labor costs totaled $366,454 and $512,581 for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.    Of the $366,454, $84,257 was mutuels payroll, $109,601 was maintenance payroll, $3,683 was admissions payroll, $45,148 was office payroll, and $123,785 was security payroll.   This compares to $512,581 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, of which $117,144 was mutuels  payroll, $127,006 was maintenance payroll, $300 was admissions payroll, $42,723 was office payroll, and $225,408 was security payroll. Security was lower due to reduced staffing, and Ft. Pierce had reduced staffing in mutuels.    Maintenance and cleaning expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2011,  totaled $65,745 compared to $67,034 for the same period in 2010.    Advertising expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, totaled $6,783 compared to $70,798 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a $64,016 decrease.

West Flagler/Centers vs FDBPR and  South Florida Racing Association, LLC
 
On September 30, 2010, W. Flagler and Florida Gaming Centers filed a constitutional challenge  regarding the enactment of changes to Florida Statutes in Chapter 551 that purport to enable the expansion of slot machine games in Miami Dade County to the site of Hialeah Park.  The Statutory Amendment conflicts with the Constitutional Provision, Article X, Section 23 in numerous ways.  In December, 2010 FDBPR and South Florida Racing Association, LLC were granted a partial summary judgment in regards to the suit.  The Company appealed the ruling and a state appeals court in Tallahassee, Fla., Oct. 6 upheld a lower court ruling that allows Hialeah Park to have a casino with Las Vegas-style slot machines.  In an opinion filed October 6, 2011, the First District Court of Appeal, State of Florida reaffirmed the constitutionality of the legislatives 2009 amendment to section 551.102(4) Florida Statutes, which expanded the scope of entities authorized to conduct slot machine gaming in Florida. The Company believes this decision is contrary to the 2004 ballot initiative and has engaged the firm of Hopping, Green and Sams to continue the appeal process. The Company remains an appellant with West Flagler Associates, Ltd and Calder Race Course, Inc. in the Action. The Florida Supreme Court would be the next level the case would be heard, and although the Company understands this appeal may not be heard, the Company believes the Appeal process is worthy of further action.
 
Other Suits
The Company is a defendant in certain other suits which are deemed to be routine litigation in the ordinary course of business.
