GAMM.OB 0.32 0.00 delayed 20 mins - disclaimer Quote Data provided by Reuters Wednesday August 14, 12:19 pm Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: Global Entertainment Holdings/Equities, Inc. Global Entertainment Holdings Announces Second Quarter Results With 66% Revenue Growth Strong Growth in Royalties and Marketing Services Fuels Continued Investment in Technology MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 2002-- Global Entertainment Holdings/Equities, Inc. (OTCBB:GAMM - News; http://www.globalentertainmentinc.com), a holding company in the online gaming sector, today announced second quarter results with revenue growth of 66% driven by its online gaming software subsidiary, Interactive Gaming & Wagering (IGW), relative to the same quarter last year. ADVERTISEMENT Revenues grew to $1,159,863 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $697,586 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. 66% of revenue is attributable to software royalties, which increased 36% year-on-year. The company also saw major growth in special projects revenue, which accounts for 16% of revenues and grew by 569% to $185,763. Gross profit margins for the period, increased to $786,793 from $584,086, a 34% increase. Global Entertainment CEO Bryan Abboud stated: "Global is making headway to becoming a significant player in the online gaming software industry as reflected in our financials. With an enhanced cash position, decreasing receivables and more new business this quarter, we will achieve our most profitable year in 2002." Earnings before Interest, taxes, depreciation & amortization (EBITDA) were positive at $6,407 for the 3 month period ended June 30, 2002 compared to a negative EBITDA for the three month period ended June 30, 2001 of $(265,068), a 102% increase. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, EBITDA was $340,092, compared to $45,659 for the six month period ended June 30, 2001, a 644% increase. Although the quarterly net loss was $(355,966), 90% of the figure is due to depreciation and amortization -- both non-cash items. This depreciation expense is consistent with the company's strategy to invest in technology in order to lay the foundation for sustained growth. The net loss improved 36% from the quarter ended June 30, 2001, which was $(558,178). For the three months ended June 30, 2002, operating expenses decreased to $780,386 from $849,154 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, an 8% decrease. This was due to the absence of the Prevail write-off this year compared to last year. The company also reduced its investment in external investor relations programs as it evaluates its strategy in this area. Along with the growth, the company was able to continue to increase investment in hardware technology and software development. For the first six months of 2002, investment activities were $610,730 compared to $243,192 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, a 151% increase. Prevail, the gaming portal subsidiary, is still under recovery in a tough market for online advertising dollars. For the quarter ended June 30, 2002, Prevail generated revenues of $20,250. The sites are being redesigned and being optimized for better search engine positioning. Global Entertainment's cash position remains positive despite the cyclically low second quarter period. The company saw an improvement it its accounts receivable. On June 30, 2002, accounts receivable decreased $367,362 to $1,033,923 or 26%, from $1,401,285 as of June 30, 2001. Net cash generated from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $1,062,413 as compared to $161,597 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, a 557% improvement. Although cash positive, the company continues to explore outside financing to support future growth plans.

Press Release Source: Global Entertainment Holdings/Equities Inc.
Global Entertainment Announces Its Position Regarding An Improperly Called Special Meeting of Shareholders Friday September 20, 5:59 pm ET MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 20, 2002--Global Entertainment Holdings/Equities Inc. (OTCBB:GAMM - News; http://www.globalentertainmentinc.com; the "Company") announced its position regarding the validity of a special meeting of the Company's shareholders set for October 7, 2002, which was apparently called by a group of its shareholders but later withdrawn by this same group. ADVERTISEMENT On September 4, 2002, an apparent group of the Company's shareholders attempted to call a special meeting of all the Company's shareholders by setting a record date and a meeting date with Automatic Data Processing, Inc. ("ADP"). ADP normally does not set record and meeting dates at the behest of shareholders, however, the Company believes that ADP was misinformed of the authority of this group to represent the Company. According to state law and the Company's bylaws, only the Company's president or its board of directors are authorized to call a special meeting of its shareholders. Holders of a material amount of shares of the Company's outstanding stock may request that its president or board of directors call a special meeting, but the shareholders have no authority to call a special meeting themselves. It is the Company's opinion that the shareholder group did not possess the authority to call this special meeting, which was called within ninety (90) days of the annual shareholders meeting, and was also called for improper business purposes, both of which violate the Company's bylaws. In connection with what the Company believes to be an improperly called special meeting, proxy solicitation material was mailed to the Company's holders of record in violation of federal securities laws. In a notice filed September 19 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, this apparent group of the Company's shareholders advised shareholders in receipt of their proxy solicitation material to disregard and discard it, and to take no additional action. Bryan Abboud, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company said, "The notice filed with the SEC reaffirms the Company's position that the October 7 special meeting of shareholders is not a proper meeting because shareholders of the Company have no authority to call special meetings of the shareholders. Although the unauthorized efforts of this group of shareholders have been appropriately halted, the Company unfortunately expects similar actions from such shareholders in the future. We advise our shareholders to take no action unless or until they receive a valid notice of a special meeting of shareholders from the Company accompanied with definitive proxy solicitation materials." The Company advises its shareholders to carefully read any definitive proxy solicitation materials that they receive from the Company as such material will contain important information. All definitive proxy solicitation materials and any other relevant documents will be available free of charge at the Securities and Exchange Commission's website, www.sec.gov. The identity of the participants in any such solicitation is set forth in the Company's most recent definitive proxy statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 24, 2002 and also available free of charge at the Securities and Exchange Commission's website, http://www.sec.gov.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - GENERAL The Company was incorporated on July 10, 1997, under the laws of the state of Colorado using the name Masadi Resources, Inc. On February 10, 1998, Articles of Amendments were filed changing the name to International Beverage Corporation. Pursuant to a Merger Agreement dated August 27, 1998, International Beverage Corporation merged with Global Entertainment Holdings/Equities, Inc., and subsequently the surviving corporation became known as Global Entertainment Holdings/Equities, Inc. The purpose of the Company is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the laws of the state of Colorado. Principles of Consolidation The Company currently has two wholly owned subsidiaries; Interactive Gaming and Wagering NV, (IGW), a Netherlands Antilles Corporation in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, and Prevail Online, Inc., (Prevail), a Colorado corporation. IGW is engaged in the conception and creation of computer software programs for the gaming and wagering industry. Prevail was purchased in August of 1999 and it is engaged in the creation and operation of websites and derives its revenues from banner advertising. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial Information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 301(b) of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be, or may have been expected for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. The December 31, 2001 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim consolidated financial statements. For further information, the statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's registration statement on Form 10-KSB. F-5 >,page<, Shares of common stock issued by the Company for other than cash have been assigned an amount equivalent to the fair value of the service or assets received in exchange. Start-up and organization costs are recorded in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting Costs of Start-up Activities" ("SOP 98-5"). SOP 98-5 requires that the costs of start-up activities, including organization costs, be expensed as incurred. The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which simplifies the computation of earnings per share requiring the restatement of all prior periods. Basic earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive securities outstanding. Dilutive securities having an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share are excluded from the calculation. NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company, from time to time, may be subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Currently, the Company is not subject to any legal proceedings or other claims. NOTE 4 - COST OF ROYALTIES Royalty costs are allocated to Royalty Sales in Cost of Sales based on the licensing fees paid for software as well as an allocation of Application Development Time to maintain royalty arrangements with existing clients. F-6 >,page<, ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation Forward-Looking Information-General This report contains a number of forward-looking statements, which reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance including statements regarding the Company's projections, and the interactive gaming industry. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. In this report, the words "anticipates", "believes", "expects", "intends", "future", "plans", "targets" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned to not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company makes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements, to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date hereof. Additionally, these statements are based on certain assumptions that may prove to be erroneous and are subject to certain risks including, but not limited to, the Company's dependence on limited cash resources, and its dependence on certain key personnel within the Company. Accordingly, actual results may differ, possibly materially, from the predictions contained herein. General Background of the Company The Company generates operating revenues exclusively from its wholly owned subsidiaries, IGW and Prevail. IGW and Prevail currently generate revenues from three (3) primary sources: (i) Licensing fees, (ii) Royalties and advertising fees, and (iii) Marketing service fees. The Company intends to implement its business strategy by: (1) Continuing to enhance and improve its technology; (2) Seeking sales with unidentified companies that (a) Are in the Internet/Technology/Software based industries, (b) Are financially stable, and (c) Have a seasoned management team. (3) Developing brand name recognition through marketing. Results of Operations Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 increased 72% to $1,462,910 as compared to $849,299 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased 53% to $4,055,009 compared to $2,649,138 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. 4 >,page<, The reasons for the increase in quarterly revenues are threefold: 1. royalty revenue increased 64% from $576,816 to $948,623 2. marketing services activities increased substantially from $52,289 to $295,836 and 3. software licensing fees increased from $15,000 to $114,500. The Company announced several new customer relationships during the quarter including the following: o In July, 2002, IGW's new horse betting software was released at betgameday.com. o In July, 2002, a new licensing relationship was announced with Global Internet Corporation (GIC) to provide an on line casino, sports book, horse book and a call center. o In September 2002, a new licensing relationship with Teltrade International NV to launch an on line casino site at CasinoClubVegas.com, providing single access to an on line casino and sports book. Prevail continues to re-position its business model, moving away from purchasing pay-per-click traffic which is no longer cost efficient. The sites are still being redesigned and optimized for search engine positioning. It is unknown how this positioning will affect the Company. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2002 were $410,390 compared to $225,230 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This increase of $185,160, or 82%, is in line with the revenue growth the Company is experiencing. Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $2,904,390 compared to $2,134,956 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This increase of $769,434 or 36% also follows the growth pattern of the Company. Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2002 were $881,281 compared to $677,219 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This increase of $204,062 or 30% is well within line with the overall revenue increase of 72% between the two quarters. Most of this increase is due to an increase in personnel costs of 73% from $328,199 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $568,112 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. However, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, personnel costs were $1,473, 778 compared to $1,112,064 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, an increase of 33%, well below the overall increase in revenues of 53%. Overall, the number of employees increased from 31 in the third quarter of 2001 to 46 in the third quarter of 2002, a 48% increase. Professional costs for the three months ended September 30, 2002, were $107,809, compared to $3,428 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase is due to a variety of reasons. The Company engaged new litigation counsel in the third quarter, which has required more to bring them up to speed. The Company also required legal advice in reference to a dispute with a group of shareholders who attempted to improperly call a special shareholder meeting in an attempt to secure a change in the composition of the Board. Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation & Amortization (EBITDA) increased to a positive $171,239 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from a net loss of $53,150 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, a significant increase of $224,389. 5 >,page<, EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased to a positive $511,653 from a net loss of $6,181 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $517,834. The Company made a net profit of $10,265 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to a net loss of $349,296 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001, an increase of $359,561. The quarter ended September 30, 2002 was the Company's first profitable quarter for 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company's net loss also improved, to $361,174 from a net loss of $ 875,887 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, an improvement of $514,713 or 59%. The Company believes its existing products and aggressive marketing strategy will continue to expand its markets and attract new licensees. The Company expects IGW licensing revenue growth to expand as more new operators are established. Additionally, IGW's royalties from existing Licensees' are expected to continue to increase. Liquidity & Capital Resources Cash Balances Although the cash balance as of September 30, 2002 is $15,281, compared to $189,091 on December 31, 2001, the ratio of current assets to current liabilities as of September 30, 2002 remains relatively consistent at 1.48 compared to 1.58 as of December 31,2001. The Company actively manages its accounts receivables and payables and has been able to continue operations without increasing debt. Cash balances do fluctuate, particularly with the seasonality of the business. Typically, as sports seasons go into high gear in the third quarter, a disproportionate amount of cash flow is generated late in the third quarter and early in the fourth quarter. The balance as of September 30, 2002 is just after the Company had settled its monthly obligations. Cash flows from operations have been sufficient to finance the company's activities, although liquidity has been tight as certain debts have become due and been redeemed (see notes payable below). Although the Company has historically been able to finance operations through internal operations and private debt financing, as more of this debt becomes due, it may be necessary to seek external funding.. Short term notes receivable Short term notes receivable increased from $644,303 on December 31, 2001 to $1,204, 817 on September 30, 2002. The increase is mainly due to the re-classification of trade receivables for IGW's largest customer into short term notes receivable ($649,000) and long term notes receivable ($116,000). Long term notes receivable Long term notes receivable decreased from $453,669 at December 31, 2001 to $116,387 at September 30, 2002. The decrease is due to the timely re-payment from IGW's largest client at the rate of $50,000 per month (see explanation above). 6 >,page<, For the first nine months of 2002, the Company eliminated $520,651 of borrowings without replacing these borrowings with new debt. The Company continues to explore different sources of capital to help meet the challenges presented by the seasonality of the business, as well as to support future growth. The majority of the receivables are from operating licensees, who have a 30-day term agreement for royalties. Three licensees accounted for 58% of IGW Royalty in the third quarter. Recently, $765,000 of the indebtedness from one of these licensees was converted to a note receivable, which is being paid in a timely fashion. Current Portion Notes Payable Current portion of notes payable decreased from $937,369 on December 31, 2002 to $604,992 on September 30, 2002. This is due to the fact that the loans of seven debt-holders totaling $208,614 were repaid in full. A further $267,000 was also partially redeemed with other debt holders during the period. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased to $1,268,648, compared to net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 of $514,217. This increase is primarily due to an overall reduction in accounts receivable, broken down as follows: Decrease in account receivable 858,203 Increase in short term note receivable (601,099) Decrease in long term note receivable 337,282 -------- Total Decrease in Account Receivable $594,386 The increase in net cash provided by operating activities enabled the Company to internally increase its investment in fixed assets. Fixed Assets Investment in fixed assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, totaled $907,797, as compared to $585,756 for the first nine months of 2001, an increase of $322,041 or 55%. This increase can be classified as follows: Capitalization of proprietary Software $500,502 Purchase of computer Equipment $324,285 Purchases of furniture $35,682 -------- Total $907,797 ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures. Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its 7 >,page<, consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date the Company conducted its evaluation.
