RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and the
six months ended June 30, 1999 show unfavorable results as compared to
the same period one year ago. Net income (loss) for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was $(726,389) and $252,922 respectively,
an unfavorable difference of $979,311. The major items impacting the
current quarter are as follows:
- The Europa Star, due to taking on water at dockside, was out of
commission from April 27th through May 7th losing potentially 22
cruises during a period still considered to be our high season.
- The Company recorded a $200,000 provision in final settlement of the
Florida Department of Revenue sales tax audit for the period July 1,
1994 through March 31, 1998. The Company had provided $1,400,000 as
an estimate against this liability in the fourth quarter of 1998.
- The Company recorded a provision of $120,000 as an estimate
resulting from an audit by the United States Labor Department
Division of Wage and Hour. The audit covered the period January 1,
1997 through April 30, 1999.
- The Company experienced a negative hold percentage on live table
games in the Ft. Myers operation during the month of June.
