GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES


Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements








Note 1 – Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies





Global Entertainment Corporation (“Global” or the “Company”) is an integrated event and entertainment company that is engaged, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, in sports management, multipurpose events center development, facility and venue management and marketing, and venue ticketing.  The Company is primarily focused on projects located in mid-size communities in the United States.





The Company’s current principal operating subsidiaries are Western Professional Hockey League, Inc., Global Properties I, International Coliseums Company, Inc., Global Entertainment Marketing Systems, Inc., Global Entertainment Ticketing, Encore Facility Management and GEC Food Service, LLC.





Through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Western Professional Hockey League, Inc. (WPHL), the Company operates the Western Professional Hockey League, a minor league professional hockey organization, and is the licensor of the independently owned hockey teams which participate in the league. The WPHL has entered into a joint operating agreement with the Central Hockey League, Inc. (CHL, Inc.).  The effect of the joint operating agreement is that the two leagues had their respective teams join together and operate under the “Central Hockey League” name (as the “League”).  The terms of the joint operating agreement define how the League will operate.





The teams participating in the League are located primarily in mid-sized communities throughout the Central, Western and Southern regions of the United States.  The League is comprised of WPHL licensed teams, CHL, Inc. sanctioned teams and, beginning in the 2010-2011 season, International Hockey League (IHL) teams. The CHL, Inc. teams operate under a sanction agreement that requires assessment payments to the League pursuant to the terms and conditions of CHL, Inc. agreements.  The IHL teams participate in the League, under a two year agreement, for a fee paid to the League.





During the 2009-2010 hockey season, fifteen teams competed in the League: twelve WPHL licensed teams and three CHL, Inc. sanctioned teams.  During the 2010-2011 hockey season, there are eighteen teams competing in the League: ten WPHL licensed teams, three CHL, Inc. sanctioned teams and five IHL teams.  Certain WPHL licensees do not have teams competing in any given season, but maintain their WPHL licenses.





Global Properties I (GPI) provides services in targeted mid-sized communities across the United States related to the development of multipurpose event centers.  GPI's development of multipurpose event centers promotes the development of the League by assisting potential licensees in securing quality venues in which to play minor professional hockey league games.





International Coliseums Company, Inc. (ICC) manages the construction of multipurpose event centers in mid-market communities.





Global Entertainment Marketing Systems, Inc. (GEMS) promotes, markets, and sells various services related to multipurpose entertainment facilities, including all contractually obligated income (COI) sources such as facility naming rights, luxury suite sales, premium seat license sales, and facility sponsorship agreements.





Global Entertainment Ticketing (GetTix) provides ticketing services for the multipurpose event centers developed by GPI, existing WPHL licensees, and various other entertainment venues, theaters, concert halls, and other facilities and event coordinators.  GetTix provides a full ticketing solution by way of box office, outlet, phone, internet and print-at-home service that utilizes distribution outlets in each market.  GetTix uses third-party, state-of-the-art software to deliver ticketing capabilities that include database flexibility, easy season and group options, financial reporting and marketing resources.





Encore Facility Management (Encore) provides a full complement of multipurpose event center operational services.  These services include providing administrative oversight in the areas of facility/property management and finance, event bookings, and food and beverage.  Facility management operations are conducted under separate limited liability companies.





GEC Food Service LLC (formerly Global Food Service, LLC) (Food Service) was formed in fiscal 2009 and managed food service operations through October 2010.

Interim Financial Information





The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required to be included in a complete set of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2011.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K on September 14, 2010.





Basis of Presentation and Going Concern





The condensed consolidated financial statementsinclude the accounts of Global Entertainment Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, WPHL, GPI, ICC, GEMS, Encore, GetTix, and GEC Food Service, as well as the limited liability companies formed for facility management.  Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.





The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate the Company’s continuation as a going concern. The Company reported a net loss of approximately $1.2 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, and operating activities used cash of approximately $983 thousand during the nine months ended February 28, 2011 and as of February 28, 2011, the Company had a total stockholders’ deficit of approximately $667 thousand and accumulated losses from inception of approximately $11.6 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  If the Company were unable to continue as a going concern, substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying value of assets, the reported amounts of liabilities, reported revenues and expenses and balance sheet classifications.





Certain reclassifications are reflected in prior periods for the purpose of consistent presentation.




In June 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Boston Pizza Restaurants (USA), Inc. (“BPR”) which established a credit facility.  As amended in August 2010, the Company borrowed $500 thousand, secured by the Company’s collectible accounts receivable. In December 2010, the outstanding balance, including accrued interest, of this credit facility was capitalized into a new line of credit and security agreement. In December 2010, the Company entered into a line of credit and security agreement with BPR.  Under the Agreement Global may borrow up to $2 million, subject to certain limitations on the amount and frequency of borrowings.  Borrowings can occur no more than once per month and must occur on or prior to April 30, 2011, and all outstanding amounts must be repaid in full by June 30, 2011. The Company has the right under the agreement to two successive six month extensions, provided that the Company pays an extension fee of $20 thousand for each such extension. Interest on the outstanding principal balances is computed daily at the rate of 12.75%. The agreement is secured by all of the accounts receivable of the Company and its subsidiaries and by a pledge of all of the Company's interest in the wholly-owned subsidiaries Global Entertainment Ticketing, a Nevada corporation and Western Professional Hockey League, Inc., a Texas corporation. The Agreement contains customary events of default, including failure to make payments when due or the dissolution, insolvency and bankruptcy of the Company. As of April 12, 2011, the Company has borrowed approximately $1.7 million, plus accrued interest, on this facility.
  Management plans to monitor the Company’s liquidity, carefully work to reduce the uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows and liquidity to fund operations and address the Company’s cash needs.  The Company has implemented head count and salary reductions, as well as other operating changes.  While management believes that the actions already taken or planned will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise substantial doubt about the validity of the going concern assumption used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful.  Realization of management’s plans is dependent on the Company’s ability to finalize certain transactions which are inherently risky and difficult to predict as to timing.


8
  At February 28, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $523 thousand and a working capital deficit of approximately $1.6 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of approximately $193 thousand and a working capital deficit of $324 thousand at May 31, 2010.  At February 28, 2011, the Company had total stockholders’ deficit of approximately $667 thousand as compared with total stockholders’ equity of approximately $596 thousand at May 31, 2010. The Company cannot guarantee that, if additional financing is needed, the Company would be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
  Use of Estimates





Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.  Actual results may vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements.





The Company believes the critical accounting policies and material estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, arena guarantees and other contingencies, the carrying value of goodwill, the realization of deferred income tax assets, the fair value of a liability related to the secondary guarantee related to a worker’s compensation program, and the allocation of expenses and division of profit or loss relating to the joint operating agreement.  Due to the uncertainties inherent in the estimation process and the significance of these items, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates in connection with these items could be materially revised within the next year.





Accounting Developments





With the exceptions of those discussed below, there  have been no recent accounting  pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the quarter ended February 28, 2011, that are of significance, or potential significance to the Company.





In September 2009, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued a consensus which revises the standards for recognizing revenue on arrangements with multiple deliverables.  Before evaluating how to recognize revenue for transactions with multiple revenue generating activities, an entity should identify all the deliverables in the arrangement and, if there are multiple deliverables, evaluate each deliverable to determine the unit of accounting and whether it should be treated separately or in combination.  The consensus removes certain thresholds for separation, provides criteria for allocation of revenue amongst deliverables and expands disclosure requirements.  The standards will be effective June 1, 2011, for the Company’s fiscal year 2012.  The Company has not yet evaluated the impact these standards will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.





In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) changed the consolidation rules as they relate to variable interest entities.  The standards changed the model for determining who should consolidate a variable interest entity, and require ongoing reassessment of whether the Company should consolidate a variable interest entity.  The standards were effective June 1, 2010, for the Company’s fiscal year 2011.  The Company adopted these standards effective June 1, 2010, but the adoption has had no impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.





Note 2 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share (EPS)





Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net income (loss), attributable to Global common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net income (loss), attributable to Global common shareholders by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock securities outstanding during the period and the effect of dilutive securities outstanding during the period.  The effect of dilutive securities is not included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding when inclusion would increase the earnings per share or decrease the loss per share for the net income (loss), attributable to Global common shareholders.

  The impact of certain options, warrants and restricted stock outstanding at February 28, 2011 and 2010 were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, because to do so would be antidilutive.  Those securities which were antidilutive in the three and nine months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 could potentially dilute EPS in the future.





Note 3– Notes Payable and Contractual Obligations





In June 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Boston Pizza Restaurants (USA), Inc. (“BPR”) which established a credit facility.  As amended in August 2010, the Company borrowed $500 thousand, secured by the Company’s collectible accounts receivable.  Under the terms of the agreement, borrowings must occur on or prior to June 30, 2011, and must be repaid in full by August 31, 2011.  Interest on the outstanding principal balances was computed daily at the rate of prime plus 7% and was payable quarterly. In addition, the Company paid quarterly an amount equal to 0.5% of the unused commitment.  The Company’s directors, James Treliving and George Melville, are the beneficial owners of 100% of BPR, significant shareholders of the Company, and directors of the Company.  In connection with the agreement, James Treliving and George Melville were each granted in July 2010 options for the purchase of 15 thousand shares of common stock, at a strike price of $0.20 per share.  These options vested on December 31, 2010, and expire December 31, 2020. In December 2010, the outstanding balance of this credit facility was capitalized into a new line of credit and security agreement.





10


On December 13, 2010, the Company entered into a line of credit and security agreement with BPR. Under the agreement the Company may borrow up to $2,000,000, subject to certain limitations on the amount and frequency of borrowings. Borrowings can occur no more than once per month and must occur on or prior to April 30, 2011, and all outstanding amounts must be repaid in full by June 30, 2011. The Company has the right under the agreement to two successive six month extensions, provided that the Company pays an extension fee of $20 thousand for each such extension. Interest on the outstanding principal balances is computed daily at the rate of 12.75%. The agreement is secured by all of the accounts receivable of the Company and its subsidiaries and by a pledge of all of the Company's interest in the wholly-owned subsidiaries Global Entertainment Ticketing, a Nevada corporation and Western Professional Hockey League, Inc., a Texas corporation.

Note 4 – PVEC, LLC Joint Venture





During fiscal 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Prescott Valley Signature Entertainment, LLC (PVSE, LLC) to form Prescott Valley Events Center, LLC (PVEC, LLC) to engage in the business of developing, managing, and leasing the Prescott Valley Events Center in Prescott Valley, Arizona (the “Town”).  The Company is the managing member of PVEC, LLC.  Construction of the center, which opened in November 2006, was funded by proceeds from the issuance of $35 million in Industrial Development Authority of the County of Yavapai Convention Center Facilities Excise Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2005 (the “Bonds”).





The Company accounts for the investment in PVEC, LLC under the equity method.  The Company’s interest in this entity is not a controlling one, as the Company does not own a majority voting interest and the Company’s ability to affect the business operations is significantly limited by the PVEC, LLC operating agreement.  The operating agreement also provides that a majority-in-interest of the members may replace the managing member, or if the managing member is in default, a majority-in-interest of the remaining members may replace the managing member.





In addition to a $1 thousand initial capital contribution, the Company contributed $250 thousand as an initial preferred capital contribution and PVSE, LLC contributed land with an approximate value of $1.5 million as an initial preferred capital contribution.  Payment of the $250 thousand was made to PVEC, LLC in December 2008.  The Company recorded losses on the Company’s investment in fiscal 2008, in the amount of $251 thousand, to bring the Company’s investment to zero.  The Company’s investment was zero at May 31, 2010.  In fiscal 2010 the Company advanced $157 thousand of cash to PVEC, LLC.  These advances have been expensed as equity method losses in fiscal 2010.The Company has advanced $312 thousand to PVEC, LLC in fiscal 2011 through April 12, 2011, and may make additional advances.





The PVEC, LLC lease payments on the facility are equal to debt service payments on the Bonds.  In the event of any shortfalls in debt service payments, amounts will be paid by the Town from transaction privilege tax (TPT) collected from the surrounding project area.


11





Operating revenues of the center, as defined by the agreement, are first used to pay operating expenses, as defined by the agreement, second to pay the Company’s base management fee (4% of the center’s operating revenue), third to pay debt service, then to fund other items.  As a result, the Company may be required to defer receipt of the Company’s management fees should operating revenues, as defined by the agreement, be insufficient to pay operating expenses, as defined by the agreement. Through February 28, 2011, no management fees had been deferred.





Cash distributions and distributions in liquidation are to be made to each member in the following priority: 1) to the extent needed to pay taxes, 2) to each member to the extent of loans in the form of the Company’s unpaid management fees and PVSE, LLC’s unpaid parking fees, and 3) to PVSE, LLC, until their preferred account equals the Company’s (including preferred returns of 5% thereon) and then 50%/50%.  Therefore, in fiscal 2008 the Company recognized 100% of PVEC, LLC’s losses to the extent of the Company’s funding commitment ($251 thousand).  The Company will recognize additional losses to the extent of any loans to PVEC, LLC, should they accumulate, in the form of deferred management fees.  The Company will also recognize additional losses to the extent of any additional advances to PVEC, LLC.

Note 5 – Commitments and Contingencies





Operating Leases





The Company leases 10,392 square feet of office space for the Tempe, Arizona headquarters pursuant to a lease with a sixty-six month initial term beginning January 2008.  The lease is renewable for an additional sixty-month period.  Leasehold improvements at the location are depreciated over the initial lease term.  Non-level rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial lease term.  Liabilities related to non-level rents of $64 thousand and $80 thousand were included in accrued liabilities at February 28, 2011 and May 31, 2010.





In addition, the Company is committed, under an equipment lease, to pay approximately $1 thousand monthly through June 2013.





Litigation





As with all entertainment facilities there exists a certain degree of risk that the general public may be accidentally injured.  As of  February 28, 2011, there were various claims outstanding in this regard that management does not believe will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.  To mitigate this risk, the Company maintains insurance coverage, which the Company believes effectively covers any reasonably foreseeable potential liability.  There is no assurance that the Company’s insurance coverage will adequately cover all liabilities to which the Company may be exposed.


13


The Company is a plaintiff and a counter-defendant in a lawsuit involving the City of Rio Rancho, New Mexico filed June 24, 2009, in the New Mexico 13th Judicial District, Sandoval County, Case No. 01329 CV091504.  The Company’s claim seeks resolution of matters stemming from the time during which the Company managed the events center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.  Specifically, the Company’s claim is based on breach of contract and other matters.  The complaint seeks payment of monies due in excess of $0.3 million and declaratory judgment that the Company has no liability to third-party creditors of the center.  The city’s counterclaim alleges breach of contract, among other claims, and seeks a judgment in excess of $0.2 million.  The Company believes the counterclaim is without merit.





The Company, PVEC, LLC and two of the Company’s directors (James Treliving and Richard Kozuback) are four of the sixteen defendants in a series of suits consolidated under 1) Covin, et al. v. Robert W. Baird & Co., Global Entertainment Corporation, et al, United States District Court, District of Arizona, Case No. 3:09-cv-8174-MEA filed September 30, 2009 and 2) Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v.

The litigations relate to the offering for the Bonds, issued to support the construction of the events center in Prescott Valley, Arizona.  The complaints allege the bond offering failed to properly disclose certain facts, that the underwriters and certain law firms acted with deliberate recklessness and that the bond documents are defective.  The plaintiffs are bond holders or their representatives and seek unspecified damages and/or reimbursement of bond investments, in excess of $26 million.  The Company has indemnified all former and current directors and officers in connection with this matter.  The Company believes the claims against Global Entertainment Corporation, PVEC, LLC and the two directors are without merit.  The Company’s insurance carrier has been notified.The Company’s insurance carrier has declined coverage of Global Entertainment Corporation in this matter, based on the assumption that the Company did not issue or sell the Bonds.  Defense costs are allocated 45% to defense of Global Entertainment Corporation and 55% to defense of the directors.  Defense costs allocated to Global Entertainment Corporation are being expensed as incurred and defense costs allocated to the directors are being expensed as incurred up to the amount of a $75 thousand insurance deductible.  As of February 28, 2011, the deductible has not yet been met.

Legal services costs are expensed as incurred.  At February 28, 2011 and May 31, 2010, accounts payable included $7 thousand and $134 thousand in legal services costs.  At February 28, 2011 and May 31, 2010, accrued liabilities included $50 thousand and $17 thousand in legal services costs.





Contingencies





The Company enters into indemnification provisions under agreements with other companies in the ordinary course of business, typically with business partners and customers.  Under these provisions the Company generally indemnifies and holds harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Company’s activities.  The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited.  The Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements.  As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal.  Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of February 28, 2011.





As of February 28, 2011, the Company entered into various employment contracts with key employees.  Under certain circumstances the Company may be liable to pay amounts based on the related contract terms.





The Company was a plaintiff in a lawsuit against a former employee and an associate of the Company seeking damages for breach of fiduciary duty and other matters.  In July 2010, the Company received a judgment in settlement of the suit for $100 thousand.  In September 2010, the Company received an initial payment on the judgment of $30 thousand, and expects monthly payments of $5 thousand until the judgment is fully extinguished.  In December 2010, the Company received an initial payment on a second judgment of $10 thousand, and expects monthly payments of approximately $23 thousand for four months. The Company recorded the $200 thousand gain on this suit in the nine months ended February 28, 2011.

Guarantees





In February 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a City in Texas to manage a multipurpose events center in Texas.  The facility opened in November 2009.  The initial term of this agreement was fifteen years, with an option by the city to renew for an additional five years under certain conditions.  This agreement included a guarantee that the events center would operate at a break-even point and without cost to the city, not including any capital reserves and any other off-sets described in the agreement.  In addition, in April 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the same city in Texas to fund a performance reserve related to having a hockey team play in the facility.  Under the agreement the Company delayed receipt of advertising sales commissions otherwise payable to the Company to fund a performance reserve account.  The required performance reserve level was $150 thousand at February 28, 2011.





In June 2010, the management of the facility was transferred to the City.  In connection with this change, the Company is negotiating a modification to the management agreement with the City under which the Company’s obligations under the contract are being clarified.  The Company recorded an approximately $372 thousand liability during fiscal 2010 and approximately $100 thousand during the nine months ended February 28, 2011 as the Company’s best estimate of the Company’s ultimate obligations under the management agreement.  This is only an estimate of the Company’s obligation and is subject to change based on the final negotiated agreement.  All receivables from the City, totaling approximately $210 thousand at February 28, 2011, and the amounts in the performance reserve account, may not be collected in cash and may be offset against this liability in fiscal 2011.





In May 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to manage a multipurpose events center to be constructed in Missouri.  The initial term of this agreement ends fifteen years from facility opening, and the city may renew the agreement for an additional five years under the same terms.  The facility opened in November 2009.  The Company’s compensation under the agreement may only come from the facility operating account, which is to be funded by facility operations, as defined in the agreement.  The management agreement includes a guarantee that the Company will subsidize the operations of the facility to the extent that funds in the facility operating account and a temporary operating account are not adequate.  Under the terms of the agreement the city has paid $0.5 million to fund a temporary operating reserve account, which may be used to fund shortfalls in the facility operations account.  Excess funds in the facility operating account each operating year, after paying operating expenses, the Company’s base Encore fee and GEMS commission, are to be used in the following priority: 1) to reimburse the Company for any subsidy payments the Company have made, 2) to replenish the temporary operating reserve account, 3) to fund the capital reserve account and 4) to pay on a co-equal basis the Company’s incentive fee and deposits to three additional reserve accounts. As of October 2010, the Company was released from this guarantee.





The Company provides a secondary guarantee on a standby letter of credit in favor of Ace American Insurance Company for $640 thousand related to a guarantee under a workers compensation program.  This letter of credit is fully collateralized by third parties.  No amounts have been drawn on this letter of credit as of February 28, 2011.  The Company believes the amount of payments under this guarantee will be negligible, and as such, have assigned no value to this guarantee at February 28, 2011.





In July 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with a ticketing software provider to support the Company’s ticketing platform. As a part of the agreement, the Company agreed to a performance guarantee based on a certain volume of ticket sales. As of February 28, 2011, the Company has accrued a liability associated with the guarantee in the amount of approximately $125 thousand.





In addition to the Company’s guarantees described above the Company also has commitments and guarantees as described in the PVEC, LLC Joint Venture Note.





Note 6 – Credit Risk





The Company’s business activities and accounts receivable are with customers in various industries located throughout the United States.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the Company’s customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses.


16


The League operates primarily in mid-sized communities in the Central, Western and Southern regions of the United States, including Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas. The Company’s facility management fees and project management fees were derived from events centers operating in, or being constructed in, Arizona, Kansas, Missouri and Texas.  The economic downturn which has affected these markets has negatively impacted the Company’s operating results and will most likely continue to do so until an economic recovery is complete.





The Company depends on contracts with cities or related governmental entities to design, develop, and manage new multipurpose facilities and adjacent real estate.  Typically the Company must expend 20-30 months of effort to obtain such contracts.  The Company depends on these contracts for the revenue they generate and the facilities resulting from these contracts are potential facilities in which the Company’s licensees may operate.  Failure to timely secure these contracts may negatively impact the Company’s results.  Many governments are struggling to maintain tax revenue and raise capital in the current economic environment and may have less interest in developing new multipurpose facilities or less ability to finance construction of new multipurpose facilities.  The Company’s revenues, project development fees and project management fees in particular, could be negatively impacted.





Purchasing a League license requires significant capital and commencing operation is a significant expense which limits the pool of potential licensees.  The Company depends on a critical mass of licensees to capture the economies of scale inherent in the League’s operations and to facilitate intra-league play.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract qualified candidates for licenses.  The Company anticipates that expansion of the League will be difficult because of the high capital costs of licenses, competitive pressures from sports leagues and entertainment providers both within and outside of the markets where the Company currently operates and the lack of arenas for new licensees.





The minor league hockey industry in which the Company conducts business is subject to significant competition from other sports and entertainment alternatives as well as both the National Hockey League and its minor league hockey system, the American Hockey League, and other independent minor hockey leagues.  Even teams of the National Hockey League, which is the largest professional hockey league with the greatest attendance, have struggled to remain financially viable.  A significant portion of the Company’s revenues result from payments made by the Company’s licensees.  There can be no assurance that licensees will not default under their license agreements.





The League may be unable to attract new licensees and existing licensees may not be able to make the continuing payments required by their license agreements in the current economic environment.  There can be no assurance that any payments will be made by new or current licensees.





Note 7 – Related Party Investment Banking and Financial Consulting Transactions





The Company has entered into agreements with Miller Capital Markets, LLC (MCM) and Miller Capital Corporation (MCC).  Rudy Miller, a principal and major equity holder of MCM and MCC, beneficially held over 5% of the Company’s common stock as of the date of these agreements and the date of this filing.  During the three months ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, fees and expenses of approximately $27 thousand and $45 thousand, were incurred under these, and predecessor agreements.

MCM will also have the right to receive warrants to purchase shares or units equivalent to 10% of the shares or units issued as part of any equity transaction wherein MCM provided services under this agreement, with the exercise price of such warrants being equal to 110% of the per share or unit value of the equity securities issued.  Warrants would expire in five years from the date of the equity offering, and would include piggyback registration rights for MCM on any future registration statements the Company files.  At any time within 12 months of a successful debt or equity financing event during the term of this agreement, MCM will have the right of first refusal to serve as the Company’s investment banker for any other financing transaction.





If the Company is acquired or involved in a merger with or acquisition of another business or entity, MCM will receive (i) 5% of the consideration from $1 up to $3 million, plus (ii) 4% of the consideration from $3 million to $6 million, plus (iii) 3% of the consideration from $6 million to $9 million, plus (iv) 2% of the consideration from $9 million to $12 million, plus (v) 1% of the consideration in excess of $12 million.

As consideration for its services, MCC will receive twelve monthly payments of $9 thousand each; additionally, MCC received a restricted stock grant of 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in February 2011 with 2,500 shares vesting in February 2012 and the remaining 2,500 shares vesting in February 2013.

General





The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors affecting our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.





Description of the Company





The Company’s current operating subsidiaries are Western Professional Hockey League, Inc., Global Properties I, International Coliseums Company, Inc., Global Entertainment Marketing Systems, Inc., Global Entertainment Ticketing, Encore Facility Management and GEC Food Service, LLC.





Pursuant to a joint operating agreement between us and Central Hockey League Inc. (CHL, Inc.), along with a two year agreement with the International Hockey League (IHL), Western Professional Hockey League, Inc. (WPHL) operates and manages a minor professional hockey league known as the Central Hockey League (the League), which currently consists of eighteen teams located in mid-market communities throughout the Central, Western and Southern regions of the United States.





Global Properties I (GPI) provides services in targeted mid-sized communities across the United States related to the development of multipurpose events centers.  GPI's development of multipurpose events centers promotes the development of the League by assisting potential licensees in securing quality venues in which to play minor professional hockey league games.





International Coliseums Company, Inc. (ICC) manages the construction of multipurpose events centers in mid-market communities.





Global Entertainment Marketing Systems, Inc. (GEMS), promotes, markets, and sells various services related to multipurpose entertainment facilities, including all contractually obligated income (COI) sources such as facility naming rights, luxury suite sales, premium seat license sales, and facility sponsorship agreements.





Global Entertainment Ticketing (GetTix) provides ticketing services for the multipurpose events centers developed by GPI, existing League licensees, and various other entertainment venues, theaters, concert halls, and other facilities and event coordinators.  GetTix provides a full ticketing solution by way of box office, outlet, phone, internet and print-at-home service that utilizes distribution outlets in each market.  GetTix uses third-party, state-of-the-art software to deliver ticketing capabilities that include database flexibility, easy season and group options, financial reporting and marketing resources.





Encore Facility Management (Encore) provides a full complement of multipurpose events center operational services.  These services include providing administrative oversight in the areas of facility/property management and finance, event bookings, and food and beverage.  Encore is currently involved with facility management of multipurpose events centers developed by GPI.  Facility management operations are conducted under separate limited liability companies.


20





GEC Food Service, LLC (formerly Global Food Service, LLC) (Food Service), formed in fiscal 2009, managed facility food service operations at an events center through October 2010.





Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments





Significant accounting policies are described in the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2010.  We believe our most critical accounting policies and estimates relate to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, arena guarantees and other contingencies, the carrying value of goodwill, the realization of deferred income tax assets, the fair value of a liability related to the secondary guarantee related to a worker’s compensation program, and the allocation of expenses and division of profit or loss relating to the joint operating agreement.  Due to the uncertainties inherent in the estimation process and the significance of these items, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates in connection with these items could be materially revised within the next year.





Overview and Forward Looking Information





In February 2011, we completed the management of a construction project for a facility in Dodge City, Kansas. We earned advertising sales commissions, project management fees, and certain pre-opening related facility management fees from the facility in the three and nine months ended February 28, 2011.





Our multi-year contracts with Prescott Valley Events Center, LLC (PVEC, LLC) to provide facility management services, ticket services and advertising sales were active in the three and nine months ended February 28, 2011, and remain active through the date of this filing.





We believe high unemployment levels and continued economic weakness have impacted our revenues and, in particular, contributed to 1) a decline in our ticket service fees and advertising sales commissions in the nine months ended February 28, 2011, compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2010, and 2) our inability to enter into arrangements to generate additional project development and management fees.

 Total revenues for the three months ended February 28, 2011 were approximately $1.6 million, compared to total revenues of approximately $3.2 million for the three months ended February 28, 2010, a decrease of approximately 51.6%.


21


Project development fees: For the three months ended February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010, there were no development projects.





Project management fees: Project management fees decreased approximately $62 thousand, or 30.5%, to approximately $141 thousand for the three months ended February 28, 2011 from approximately $203 thousand for the three months ended February 28, 2010. The decrease is related to the completion of our projects in Allen, Texas and Independence, Missouri.  Both of these projects were completed in November 2009.  Project management fees for the three months ended February 28, 2011 were related to the facility under construction in Dodge City, Kansas. The construction of the facility in Dodge City was completed February 2011. As of February 2011, we do not have any projects that we are managing.





Facility management fees: Facility management fees decreased approximately $801 thousand, or 71.8%, to approximately $315 thousand for the three months ended February 28, 2011 from approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended February 28, 2010. Facility management fees included both recurring fees for management of facilities and fees for preopening services. The decrease is related to the reduced fees for preopening services on the Allen, Texas and Independence, Missouri projects completed in November 2009 off-set by facility management fees in those same buildings and preopening fees for the facility in Dodge City, Kansas. As of October 2010, we are no longer managing facilities other than PVEC, which will result in reduced facility management fees.





Ticket service fees: Ticket service fees decreased approximately $214 thousand, or 79.9% to approximately $54 thousand for the three months ended February 28, 2011 from approximately $268 thousand for the three months ended February 28, 2010.  The decrease in ticket service fees reflects the period-over-period decline in the number of events held and attendance at events in our facilities.





Food service revenue: Food service revenue decreased approximately $909 thousand, or 100% for the three months ended February 28, 2011 from the three months ended February 28, 2010. The decrease is related to the termination of food service operations in October 2010.





Advertising sales commission: Advertising sales commission increased approximately $239 thousand, or 323%, to approximately $313 thousand for the three months ended February 28, 2011 from approximately $74 thousand for the three months ended February 28, 2010. The increase is primarily related to a onetime payment related to the termination agreement associated with Dodge City. As a result of this termination, we expect future advertising sales commission to decrease.





License fees – league dues and other: License fees – league dues and other increased approximately $14 thousand, or 2.2%, to $640 thousand for the three months ended February 28, 2011 from approximately $626 thousand for the three months ended February 28, 2010. The increase is related to increase in the number of teams in the League in the three months ended February 28, 2011 compared to the three months ended February 28, 2010.





License fees – initial and transfer: For the three months ended February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010, there were no license fees – initial and transfer.





Other revenue: Other revenue increased approximately $69 thousand, or 237.9%, to $98 thousand for the three months ended February 28, 2011 from $29 thousand for the three months ended February 28, 2010. This increase is primarily related to the settlement of a lawsuit with an associate of the Company.

Total operating costs decreased approximately $1.8 million to approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended February 28, 2011, from approximately $3.6 million for the three months ended February 28, 2010.  This reduction is due primarily to management’s payroll cost reductions and other operating cost saving initiatives.

 Net loss attributable to Global was approximately $199 thousand for the three months ended February 28, 2011, compared to a net loss attributable to Global of $499 thousand for the three months ended February 28, 2010.  The decreased loss was primarily a result of the onetime advertising commission payment related to the termination agreement associated with Dodge City, reduced operating expenses, and the negotiated settlement of debt, off-set by the reduction of revenue from transaction related fees, lower project management fees, and lower food service, ticketing, and sponsorship revenues.

 Total revenues for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 were approximately $5.3 million, compared to total revenues of approximately $8.9 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2010, a decrease of approximately 40.9%.





Project development fees: Project development fees of approximately $152 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2010, is related to a multipurpose events center development project in Dodge City, Kansas, signed in fiscal 2009.  For the nine months ended February 28, 2011, there were no development projects.





Project management fees: Project management fees decreased approximately $653 thousand, or 55.2%, to approximately $529 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 from approximately $1.2 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2010. The decrease is related to the completion of our projects in Allen, Texas and Independence, Missouri.  Both of these projects were completed in November 2009.  Project management fees for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 were related to the facility under construction in Dodge City, Kansas. The construction of the facility in Dodge City was completed February 2011. As of February 2011, we do not have any projects that we are managing.


23


Facility management fees: Facility management fees decreased approximately $2.0 million, or 55.5%, to approximately $1.6 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 from approximately $3.6 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2010. Facility management fees included both recurring fees for management of facilities and fees for preopening services.   The decrease is related to the reduced fees for preopening services on the Allen, Texas and Independence, Missouri projects completed in November 2009 off-set by facility management fees in those same buildings and preopening fees for the facility in Dodge City, Kansas. As of October 2010, we are no longer managing facilities other than PVEC, which will result in reduced facility management fees.





Ticket service fees: Ticket service fees decreased approximately $344 thousand, or 44% to approximately $437 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 from approximately $781 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2010.  The decrease in ticket service fees reflects the decline in the number of events held and attendance at events in our facilities.





Food service revenue: Food service revenue decreased approximately $962 thousand, or 78%, to approximately $271 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 from approximately $1.2 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2010. The decrease is related to the termination of food service operations in October 2010.





Advertising sales commission: Advertising sales commission increased approximately $170 thousand, or 64.2%, to approximately $435 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 from approximately $265 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2010. The increase is primarily related to a onetime payment related to the termination agreement associated with Dodge City, off-set by the reduced number of facilities that we manage. As a result of this termination, we expect future advertising sales commission to decrease.





License fees – league dues and other: License fees – league dues and other decreased approximately $77 thousand, or 5.2%, to $1.4 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 from approximately $1.5 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2010. The decrease is primarily related to a reduction of sponsorship revenue in the nine months ended February 28, 2011 compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2010.





License fees – initial and transfer: License fees – initial and transfer increased $150 thousand, or 150%, to $250 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 from $100 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2010. This increase relates to a license transfer that occurred during the nine months ended February 28, 2011 compared to the nine months ended February 28, 2010.





Other revenue: Other revenue increased approximately $187 thousand, or 99.5%, to approximately $375 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 from approximately $188 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2010. This increase includes $200 thousand gain recorded in the nine months ended February 28, 2011 from a judgment we received against a former employee and an associate of the Company.

 Net loss attributable to Global was approximately $1.2 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, compared to a net loss attributable to Global of $722 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2010.  The increased loss was primarily a result of the reduction of revenue from transaction related fees, lower project management fees, and lower food service, ticketing,  and sponsorship revenues, off-set by reduced operating expenses, a settlement with a previous employee, a onetime advertising commission payment related to the termination agreement associated with Dodge City, and the negotiated settlement of debt.





Liquidity and Capital Resources





As of February 28, 2011, we had approximately $523 thousand in cash and cash equivalents, including cash collected for GetTix tickets of approximately $30 thousand for events scheduled to occur in the future.





Under our performance guarantee related to a hockey team in Texas, $50 thousand of working capital, included in prepaid and other assets, is currently unavailable to us.  In addition, accounts receivable for advertising sales commissions from the Texas facility, $108 thousand at February 28, 2011, are not being paid to us under normal terms. Other receivables not being paid under normal terms include approximately $102 thousand related to Allen, Texas, approximately $50 thousand related to a license dormancy fee, and approximately $31 thousand related to a New Mexico note receivable.





Cash used in operating activities was approximately $983 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 compared to cash used in operating activities of approximately $832 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2010. We recorded a gain on the settlement of debt in the amount of approximately $179 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2011.





Cash used for investing activities was $321 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, compared to cash provided of approximately $389 thousand for the nine months ended February 28, 2010. We advanced PVEC, LLC approximately $312 thousand in the nine months ended February 28, 2011 and approximately $85 thousand in the nine months ended February 28, 2010.





Cash provided by financing activities, consisted of draws on the BPR note of approximately $1.7 million and repayments of notes and contractual obligations of approximately $59 thousand and $32 thousand, respectively.





As of February 28, 2011, a $215 thousand receivable was classified as a long-term asset.  This classification was done in contemplation of the current economic conditions and the anticipated timing of collections.  Management, after careful review and analysis, believes this receivable to be fully collectible and as such, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been established against the receivable.





We had a $1.75 million line of credit that expired October 1, 2009.  We did not renew the facility.





In June 2010, we entered into an agreement with Boston Pizza Restaurants (USA), Inc. (BPR) which establishes a credit facility.  As amended in August 2010, we may borrow up to $500 thousand not to exceed the amount of our collectible accounts receivable.  Under the terms of the agreement, borrowings must occur on or prior to June 30, 2011, and must be repaid in full by August 31, 2011.  Interest on the outstanding principal balances is computed daily at the rate of prime plus 7% and is payable quarterly.  In addition, we must pay quarterly an amount equal to 0.5% of any unused commitment.  The agreement is secured by our accounts receivable. In December 2010, the outstanding balance of this credit facility was capitalized into the below line of credit and security agreement.


25


On December 13, 2010, we entered into a line of credit and security agreement with BPR.  Under the Agreement Global may borrow up to $2 million, subject to certain limitations on the amount and frequency of borrowings.  Borrowings can occur no more than once per month and must occur on or prior to April 30, 2011, and all outstanding amounts must be repaid in full by June 30, 2011. Global has the right under the Agreement to two successive six month extensions, provided that Global pays an extension fee of $20 thousand for each such extension. Interest on the outstanding principal balances is computed daily at the rate of 12.75%.  The  Agreement  is  secured  by  all of the  accounts receivable  of Global and its  subsidiaries  and by a pledge of all of  Global's interest in the wholly-owned  subsidiaries  Global  Entertainment  Ticketing,  a Nevada  corporation  and  Western  Professional  Hockey  League,  Inc.,  a Texas corporation.  The Agreement contains customary events of default, including failure to make payments when due or the dissolution, insolvency and bankruptcy of Global.





We have experienced a significant decline in operations, cash flows and liquidity.  The economic downturn, which has affected the markets in which we operate, has negatively impacted our operating results and our liquidity.  The uncertainty regarding our ability to generate sufficient cash flows and liquidity to fund operations raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern (which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future).  As of April 12, 2011, we have borrowed approximately $1.7 million on the BPR facility.





We plan to monitor our liquidity, carefully work to reduce this uncertainty and address our cash needs.  We have implemented head count and salary reductions, as well as other operating changes.  While management believes that the actions already taken or planned will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise substantial doubt about the validity of the going concern assumption used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful.  Realization of management’s plans is dependent on our ability to finalize certain transactions which are inherently risky and difficult to predict as to timing.





We continue to evaluate the profitability of, and synergies among, our various subsidiaries and may determine to dispose of one or more of them, as we move forward with our business plan.  Based on our current forecast and historical results, we expect to have adequate cash flow from available sources to fund our operating needs through May 31, 2011.  We expect to use the credit facility with BPR to fund our operating shortfalls through May 31, 2011.  We cannot guarantee that, if additional financing is needed, we would be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all.





Accounting Developments





In September 2009, the EITF issued a consensus which revises the standards for recognizing revenue on arrangements with multiple deliverables.  Before evaluating how to recognize revenue for transactions with multiple revenue generating activities, an entity should identify all the deliverables in the arrangement and, if there are multiple deliverables, evaluate each deliverable to determine the unit of accounting and whether it should be treated separately or in combination.  The consensus removes certain thresholds for separation, provides criteria for allocation of revenue amongst deliverables and expands disclosure requirements.  The standards will be effective June 1, 2011, for our fiscal year 2012.





In June 2009, the FASB changed the consolidation rules as they relate to variable interest entities.  The standards changed the model for determining who should consolidate a variable interest entity, and require ongoing reassessment of whether we should consolidate a variable interest entity.  The standards were effective June 1, 2010, for our fiscal year 2011.





Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.





Not applicable.





26


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures





Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.





Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 as of February 28, 2011.  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.





Our management, including its principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control 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 by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon 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.  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.  We monitor our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls and make modifications as necessary; our intent in this regard is that the disclosure controls and procedures will be maintained as dynamic systems that change (including with improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant.





Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.





There have not been changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the third quarter of the Company’s current fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.





PART II – OTHER INFORMATION





Item 1.  Legal Proceedings





We are a plaintiff and a counter-defendant in a lawsuit involving the City of Rio Rancho, New Mexico filed June 24, 2009, in the New Mexico 13th Judicial District, Sandoval County, Case No. 01329 CV091504.  Our claim seeks resolution of matters stemming from the time during which we managed the events center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico.  Specifically, our claim is based on breach of contract and other matters.  The complaint seeks payment of monies due in excess of $0.3 million and declaratory judgment that we have no liability to third-party creditors of the center.  The city’s counterclaim alleges breach of contract, among other claims, and seeks judgment in excess of $0.2 million.  We believe the counterclaim is without merit.





Global Entertainment Corporation, PVEC, LLC and two of our directors (James Treliving and Richard Kozuback) are four of sixteen defendants in a series of suits consolidated under 1) Covin, et al. v. Robert W. Baird & Co., Global Entertainment Corporation, et al, United States District Court, District of Arizona, Case No. 3:09-cv-8174-MEA filed September 30, 2009 and 2) Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. v. Robert W. Baird & Co., Global Entertainment Corporation, et al, Maricopa County Superior Court, Case No. CV2009-030148 filed September 30, 2009.  The litigations relate to the offering of the Bonds, issued to support the construction of the events center in Prescott Valley, Arizona.  The complaints allege the bond offering failed to properly disclose certain facts, that the underwriters and certain law firms acted with deliberate recklessness and that the bond documents are defective.  The plaintiffs are bond holders or their representatives and seek unspecified damages and/or reimbursement of bond investments, in excess of $26 million.  We have


27
