today announced financial
results for its second quarter and six-month period ended December
31, 2009.
Second quarter net revenue was $1,333,000 versus $1,510,000 in the
second quarter of fiscal 2009. The decline is attributable to poor
weather conditions and continued weak consumer spending.
The Company reported a loss from operations of $266,000 versus a loss
from operations of $104,000 in last year’s second quarter. The
increased operating loss was the result of lower revenue, increased
stock-based compensation expense and increased fees associated with
the Company’s debt restructuring efforts. These increased expenses
were partially offset by a $102,000 reduction in casino operating
expenses. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was
$340,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, versus a net loss attributable
to common shareholders of $164,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, in
the second quarter a year ago.
Operating cash flow at the six-month mark was $163,000, up from
$140,000 during the same period last year.
Cliff Neuman, president and CEO, “The second fiscal quarter is
traditionally one of our slowest periods due to the seasonal nature
of Colorado’s mountain-based gaming industry. Challenging weather
conditions along Colorado’s Front Range only exacerbated the annual
slowdown in customer traffic.”
“As we anticipate the busier Spring and Summer seasons, as well as a
rebound in consumer spending, we continue to focus on enhancing
efficiencies at our Bull Durham and Doc Holliday properties,” Neuman
added. “These efforts drove down casino operating expenses by
nearly 6% versus last year’s second quarter. We also have made
important progress on our debt restructuring efforts, which is
encouraging given the extremely tight credit markets. We are
optimistic these ongoing efforts will ultimately have a material
positive impact on our cost structure and earnings potential.”
Year-to-date results
Net revenue through the first six months of fiscal 2010 was
$3,014,000 versus $3,180,000 in the same period last year. Loss
from operations was $83,000 versus an operating loss of $75,000 at
the six-month mark last year. Net loss attributable to common
shareholders was $209,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, versus a net
loss attributable to common shareholders of $193,000, or $0.03 per
diluted share, in the same period last year.
