Part I - Item 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
(1) Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This quarterly report contains certain forward-looking statements and
information relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs of the
Company or management as well as assumptions made by and information currently
available to the Company or management. When used in this document, the words
"anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and "intend" and similar
expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management, are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view
of the Company regarding future events and are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties and assumptions, including the risks and uncertainties noted.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially
from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or
intended. In each instance, forward-looking information should be considered
in light of the accompanying meaningful cautionary statements herein.
(2) Results of Operations
From November 1992 until approximately the end of 1995, the Company
(which had changed its name to "Palace Casinos, Inc."), was engaged, through
its then wholly-owned subsidiary, Maritime Group, Ltd. (the "Subsidiary"), in
the development of a dockside gaming facility in Biloxi, Mississippi. In
April, 1994, the Subsidiary completed the development of the Biloxi gaming
facility, "Palace Casino," and commenced operations. On December 1, 1994, the
Company and the Subsidiary separately filed voluntary petitions for relief
under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws. Although the Company's
original bankruptcy petition was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Utah, Central Division, the supervision of the Company's
Chapter 11 proceedings was transferred to the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On
September 22, 1995, the Company, which had been operating as
debtor-in-possession in connection with the bankruptcy proceeding, entered
into an Asset Purchase Agreement under the terms of which it agreed, subject
to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to sell substantially all of the
Subsidiary's operating assets. This transaction was approved by the
Bankruptcy Court, and completed in the end of 1995, with all of the net
proceeds of the transaction being distributed to creditors. Following the
completion of the sale of the Subsidiary's Assets, the Company had essentially
no assets and liabilities and the Company's business operations essentially
ceased, except for efforts to complete a plan of reorganization, described
below.
In February, 1999, Steve Rippon and Edward D. Bagley, the Company's
present management, submitted to the Bankruptcy Court, as plan proponents, a
plan of reorganization (the "Plan"), which was confirmed by the Bankruptcy
Court on June 16, 1999. Under the terms of the
8
<PAGE>
Plan: (a) all of the Company's priority creditors were paid a total of $5,000;
(b) unsecured creditors, holding between $300,000 and $500,000 in claims, were
issued pro rata a total of 90,000 shares of post-bankruptcy common stock in
full satisfaction of such obligations; and (c) all of the equity holders of
the Company's common stock, were issued, pro rata, a total of approximately
90,000 shares of common stock in lieu of a total of 8,794,329 shares of
preferred and common stock issued and outstanding, with the result that .0102
shares of common stock were issued for each previously outstanding share of
common stock. Under the terms of the Plan, all outstanding warrants and
options of the Company expired. In connection with the Plan, Messrs. Rippon
and Bagley, the plan proponents, were elected as the officers and directors of
the Company, and were issued a total of 1,620,000 shares of common stock
(810,000 shares each) of the Company, in consideration of their contributions
of services and approximately $20,000 in cash provided to pay for legal
services and costs incurred in the Plan confirmation process and related
activities.
Following the confirmation of the Plan in June, 1999, the Company and the
plan proponents completed the Plan in accordance with its terms. As a result
of the Plan, the Company currently has a total of approximately 1,800,000
shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding.
On December 3, 1999, the Bankruptcy Court, after reviewing the efforts by the
plan proponents, issued an order closing the bankruptcy estate of the Company.
The Company is not aware of any trends that have or are reasonably likely
to have a material impact on its liquidity, net sales, revenues, or income
from continuing operations. There have been no events which have caused
material changes from period to period in one or more line items of the
financial statements or any seasonal aspects that have had a material effect
on the financial condition or results of operation.
During the quarters ended February 28, 1999 and 1998, the Company had no
revenues and expenses of $3,726 and $296, respectively, resulting in net
income of $465,324, and a net loss of $296, respectively. During the nine
months ended February 28, 1999, the Company had no revenues and expenses of
$7,453, resulting in net income of $461,597. The reported net income for the
quarter and nine months ended February 28, 1999, is attributable to a gain on
the extinguishment of debt as the result of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
(3) Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the past year, there have been no material changes in the
financial condition of the Company, except for the approval by the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court of the Company's Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization, and the
closing of the bankruptcy estate. At February 28, 1999, the Company had total
assets of $30,437, total current liabilities of $11,225, and stockholders'
equity of $19,212. Current assets as of February 28, 1999, consist of cash
and a refundable deposit. At the end of the last fiscal year, May 31, 1998,
the Company had total assets of $30,437, total current liabilities of
$473,721, and stockholders' deficit of $443,284.
The Company plans to seek one or more potential business ventures from
its known sources. In connection with a business acquisition or transaction,
the Company may need to raise equity or debt to fund such transaction, or to
provide the business opportunity with necessary operating capital. There is no
assurance the Company will be able to raise capital when needed, or on terms
which are favorable to the Company.
