BUTLER NATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X
and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three months and nine months ended
January 31, 2000 are not indicative of the results of operations that may be
expected for the year ending April 30, 2000.
Certain reclassifications within the financial statement captions have
been made to maintain consistency in presentation between years.
For further information, refer to the restated Consolidated Financial
Statements and Footnotes included in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form
10-K/A for the year ended April 30, 1998 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 24, 2000.
2. Indian Gaming: The Company is advancing funds for the establishment of
Indian gaming. These funds have been capitalized in accordance with Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 67 "Accounting for Costs and Initial
Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects." Such standard requires costs
associated with the acquisition, development, and construction of real estate
and real estate-related projects to be capitalized as part of that project.
The realization of these advances is predicated on the ability
of the Company and their Indian gaming clients to successfully open and
operate the proposed casinos. There is no assurance that the Company will
be successful. The inability of the Company to recover these advances
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position
and results of operations.
Advances to the tribes and for gaming developments are capitalized and
recorded as receivables from the tribes. These receivables, shown as
Advances for Indian Gaming Development on the balance sheet, represent
costs to be reimbursed to the Company pending approval of Indian gaming in
several locations. The Company has agreements in place which require
payments to be made to the Company for the respective projects upon
opening of Indian gaming facilities. Once gaming facilities have gained
proper approvals, the Company will enter into note receivable arrangements
with the tribe to secure reimbursement of advanced funds to the Company
for the particular project. The Company currently has one note receivable
shown as Note Receivable From Indian Gaming Development on the balance
sheet.
Reserves are recorded for Indian Gaming Development costs that cannot be
determined whether reimbursement from the Tribes will occur. We have
agreements with the Tribes to be reimbursed for all costs incurred by us
to develop gaming when the facilities are constructed and opened. Because
the Stables represents the only operations opened, there is uncertainty as
to whether reimbursement on all remaining costs that have been reserved will
occur. It is our policy therefore, to reduce the respective reserves as
reimbursement from the Tribes is collected.
The Company has capitalized approximately $3,207,686 and $3,492,987 at
January 31, 2000 and April 30, 1999, respectively, related to the
development of Indian gaming facilities. These amounts are net of
reserves of $2,718,928 and $2,718,928 in fiscal year 1999 and 1998,
respectively, which were established to reserve for potentially
unreimburseable costs. In the opinion of management, the net advances will be
recoverable through the gaming activities. Current economic projections for
the gaming activities indicate adequate future cash flows to recover the
advances. In the event the Company and its Indian clients are unsuccessful in
establishing such operations, these net recorded advances will be recovered
through the liquidation of the associated assets. The Company has title to
land purchased for Indian gaming. These tracts, currently owned by the
Company, could be sold to recover costs in the projects.
As a part of a Management Contract approved by the National Indian Gaming
Commission (NIGC) on January 14, 1997, between the Company's former wholly
owned subsidiary, Butler National Service Corporation, and the Miami Tribe of
Oklahoma and the Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma (the Tribes), the Company agreed
to convert their current unsecured receivable from the Tribes to a secured
note receivable with the Tribes of $3,500,000 at 2 percent over prime, to
be repaid over five years, for the construction of the Stables gaming
establishment and reimbursement for previously advanced funds. Security
under the contract includes the Tribes' profits from all gaming enterprises
and all assets of the Stables except the land and building. The Company
is currently receiving payments on the note and its management fee on the
Stables operation. Amounts to be received on the notes are 2000 - $486,776;
2001 - $347,285; 2002 - $382,800; 2003 - $428,000 and 2004 - $125,540.
3. Aircraft: The Company buys aircraft, modifies the aircraft and resells
the aircraft as a part of the aircraft modification business segment.
During the quarter ended July 31, 1998, a modified Lear 35 aircraft was sold
for approximately $2.1 million. This aircraft was carried as inventory
for approximately $1,500,000 on the Balance Sheet. The Company plans to
continue the business of purchase, modify and sale of applicable aircraft
and is now recording the the carrying cost of these airplanes as Aircraft
Inventory on the Balance Sheet.
During the quarter ended January 31, 2000, a Lear 25 aircraft was purchased
for approximately $1.4 million. This aircraft is carried as inventory
for approximately $1,400,000 on the Balance Sheet and will be modified and
resold. The Company plans to continue the business of purchase, modify and
sale of applicable aircraft and is now recording the the carrying cost of
these airplanes as Aircraft Inventory on the Balance Sheet. The aircraft was
financed under the Company's aircraft floor plan.
4. Quasi Reorganization: After completing a three-year program of
restructuring the Company's operation, on October 31, 1992, the Company
adjusted the accumulated deficit (earned surplus benefit) to a zero balance
thereby affording the Company a "fresh start." No assets or liabilities
required adjustment in this process as they had been recorded at fair value.
The amount of accumulated deficit eliminated as of October 31, 1992, was
$11,938,813. Upon consummation of the reorganization, all deficits in the
surplus accounts were eliminated against paid-in capital.
5. During the first nine months of fiscal 2000, 3,299,131 shares were issued
to reduce the convertible preferred stock by $256,500.
6. New Accounting Standards: The American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants has issued SOP 98-5, "Reporting on the costs of start-up
activities." This standard provides a change in the capitalization policy for
start up costs. The standard is required for the Company's fiscal year-end
1999. The Company has evaluated this standard and concluded its adoption will
have no material effect to the financial statements.
7. Earnings Per Share: Earnings per common share is based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Stock options,
convertible preferred, and convertible debentures have been considered in the
dilutive earnings per share calculation, but not used in fiscal 2000 and
fiscal 1999 because they are anti-dilutive.
8. Dividend of Subsidiary Stock to Shareholders: On May 4, 1999 the
Company announced it would distribute to its shareholders the stock in the
subsidiary Butler National Service Corporation (BNSC). The assets of the
subsidiary totalled approximately $1,623,000 and liabilities totalled
approximately $1,620,000. The distribution will be made when the filings
are approved by the Security and Exchange Commission. BNSC holds a contract
to manage an Indian Gaming facility (The Stables) and will manage all Indian
Gaming facilities when there is a contract between the Tribe and BNSC.
9. Research and Development: The Company charges to operations research and
development costs. The amount charged in the quarter ended January 31, 2000
was approximately $183,162.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Third quarter fiscal 2000 compared to third quarter fiscal 1999
Overview: Consolidated sales were $3,553,805 for the nine months ended January
31, 2000, compared to $4,832,284 for the nine months ended January 31, 1999,
a decrease of (26.5%). Sales for the third fiscal quarter were $901,705
compared to $594,994 for the three months ended January 31, 1999. Sales for
the nine month period decreased in the Avionics segment (65.5%), the Aircraft
Modifications segment (177%), and decreased in the Monitoring Services segment
(17.3%). Sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 included a sale by
the Aircraft Modifications segment of an aircraft after modification for
approximately $2.1 million.
The Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $(341,454) in
the current quarter compared to a loss of $(526,535) in the comparable period
of fiscal 1999.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $899,478 for the current
quarter, compared to $556,796 from the prior year. Expenses for the nine
months were $1,023,714, including research and development of $311,243 in
fiscal 2000 compared to $1,162,308 in fiscal 1999 a decrease of (11.9%).
Discussion of the specific changes by operation at each business segment
follows:
Aircraft Modifications: Sales from the Aircraft Modifications business
segment were $2,407,560 for the first nine months down (36.3%) from $3,779,709
in the prior year. Gross profit decreased from $381,207 in the nine months
ending January 31, 1999 to $161,288 in the nine months ending January 2000.
Third quarter fiscal 2000 sales were $660,530 compared to $238,559 in fiscal
1999. Third quarter gross profit was a loss of $(82,367) and a profit of
$143,739, respectively. The fiscal 1999 nine month sales included the sale
of a learjet for $2,100,000.
Avionics: Avionics unit sales were $283,099 for the nine months ended January
31, 2000 compared to $263,410 in the comparable period of the preceding year,
an increase of (7.5%). The increase resulted from higher sales of switching
units to our primary customer. Operating profits for the nine months ended
January 31, 2000, were a loss of $23,303 compared to a loss of $23,066 for
the nine months ended January 31, 1999. The Company believes the sales volume
will remain relatively stable with some growth from new projects for the next
few years.
SCADA Systems and Monitoring Services: Sales for the nine months ended
January 31, 2000 were $873,106 compared to sales of $699,387 for the
comparable period of the prior year an increase of 24.8%. Sales increased
compared to the prior year because of a special project starting up.
Operating profit for the nine months was $205,475 compared to $3,164 for the
nine months ended January 31, 1999. Sales for the third quarter of fiscal
2000 were $193,204, a decrease of $40,463 from the same quarter of fiscal
1999. Fluctuations above the basic service business revenues are expected
from quarter to quarter and year to year.
Temporary Services: This segment did not recognize any revenue in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999.
Indian Gaming Management (a division of Butler National Corporation): This
segment earned interest income of $41,913 during the quarter and $129,247 for
the first nine months and incurred no expense in the quarter. In fiscal 1999,
$30,424 was expensed in the first nine months for general and administrative
expenses associated with its continued efforts to explore service
opportunities related to the Indian Gaming Act of 1988.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Operating expenses (selling, general and administrative): Expenses in the nine
months ended January 31, 2000, were $1,023,714 or 28.9% of sales compared to
$1,162,308 or 24% of sales for the nine months ended January 31, 1999, a
decrease of $135,594 or (11.9%).
Interest expense for the nine months ended January 31, 2000, decreased $38,736
from $123,957 compared to the third quarter of the prior year to $162,693.
The Company continues to use its line of credit to maintain operations. The
Company acquired a Lear 35 during fiscal 1996 for debt on an inventory floor
plan of $1,500,000, the majority of the decrease in interest expense relates
to this acquisition and the related debt and the increased borrowing on the
credit line. The Company sold the Learjet model 35 resulting in reduced
interest cost for the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The Company used the
inventory floor plan to acquire a Lear 25 for $1,400,000 for modification and
resale during fiscal 2001.
Other income(expense) is income of $130,274 in the nine months ended January
31, 2000, versus income of $128,098 in the nine months ended January 31, 1999.
The Company employed 60 at January 31, 2000, and 67 at January 31, 1999.
EARNINGS
The Company recorded a loss of $331,812 in the nine months ended January 31,
2000. This is comparable to a loss of $690,700 in the nine months ended
January 31, 1999. Earnings per share is a loss of $.02 and a loss of
$.06 for the nine months ending January 31, 2000, and January 31, 1999,
respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Borrowed funds have been used primarily for working capital. Bank (Industrial
State Bank) debt related to the Company's operating line was $438,035 at
January 31, 2000, and was $340,208 at January 31, 1999.
The Company's unused line of credit was approximately $61,965 as of January
31, 2000 and approximately $159,792 as of January 31, 1999. The interest rate
on the Company's line of credit is prime plus two, as of January 31, 2000, the
interest rate is 10.5%.
The Company plans to continue using the promissory notes payable to fund
working capital. The Company believes the extensions will continue and does
not anticipate the repayment of these notes in fiscal 2000. The extensions of
the promissory notes payable is consistent with prior years. If the Bank were
to demand repayment of the notes payable the Company currently does not have
enough cash to pay off the notes without materially adversely affecting the
financial condition of the Company.
The Company does not, as of January 31, 2000, have any material
commitments for other capital expenditures other than the Management Services
segment's requirements under the terms of the Indian gaming Management
Agreements. These requirements are further described in this section.
Depending upon the development schedules, the Company, through Management
Services, will need additional funds to complete its currently planned Indian
gaming opportunities. The Company will use current cash available, and
additional funds, for the start up and construction of gaming facilities. The
Company anticipates initially obtaining these funds from: internally
generated working capital and borrowings. After a few gaming facilities
become operational, gaming operations will generate additional working capital
for the start up and construction of other gaming facilities. The Company
expects that its start up and construction financing of gaming facilities will
be replaced by other financial lenders, long term financing through debt
issue, or equity issues.
The Company was initially listed in the national over-the-counter market in
1969, under the symbol "BUTL." Effective June 8, 1992, the symbol was changed
to 'BLNL.' On February 24, 1994, the Company was and is listed on the NASDAQ
Small Cap Market under the symbol "BUKS." Since the initial filing of the
report on Form 10-K for the period ending April 30, 1998, the Company's common
stock has been delisted from the small cap category effective January 1, 1999
and is now listed in the over-the-counter (OTCBB) category.
