Global Casinos Reports Q2 Results

Global Casinos, Inc. (OTCBB:GBCS) has announced its financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005.

Casino revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2005, were $944,549 compared to $999,577 for the 2004, a decrease of $55,028 or 5.5%. The revenue decrease is primarily attributed to the completion of certain construction work performed in the town of Black Hawk in June 2005 that had the effect of driving customer traffic into the casino during the comparable period in 2004. This anticipated decrease in customer traffic during the quarter as compared to the same period in 2004 was partially offset by increased promotional efforts.

For the six months ended December 31, 2005, Casino revenues were $2,021,529 compared to $1,966,555 for the comparable period in fiscal 2005, an increase of $54,974 or 2.8%. The beginning of this six-month period still had some of the aforementioned construction, which drove additional traffic to the casino.

Income from operation declined by $150,264 to $53,844 from $204,148 during the three months ended December 31, 2005, compared to 2004. Operating income decreased due to the reduction in revenues and increased promotional expenses. For the six months income from operations decreased by $133,300 or 30% to $289,860 as a result of the decreased revenues and increased promotional expenses.
