Rotate Black, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to CondensedConsolidated Financial Statements

(A Development Stage Company

(UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

Rotate Black, Inc. (Company) was incorporated in Nevada on August 2, 2006 to be the successor by merger of BevSystems International, Inc. and BevSystems International Ltd. (BevSystems) under a plan of reorganization (Plan), effective August 15, 2008, as approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court in Tampa, Florida. Under the terms of the Plan, BevSystems merged into the Company with the Company as the survivor.

On March 31, 2004, BevSystems filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and, on April 15, 2006, filed a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan provided for the Company to: (1) purchase the intangible assets of BevSystems for $175,000, (2) pay creditors opting out of the common stock settlement an aggregate of $10,000, (3) pay all legal and other cost of the Plan of $189,265 and (4) issue 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (10%) to the balance of the creditors. The shares issued to the creditors were valued at $.057, per share, the value of the shares acquired by the 90% stockholder, for an aggregate purchase price of $513,079. All costs of the bankruptcy were paid by the 90% stockholder, Rotate Black, LLC (RBL), an entity substantially owned by an officer of the Company and family members. The Company was also required to provide an escrow fund for future operations of $200,000. All outstanding equity shares of BevSystems were cancelled. All requirements under the Plan have been met.

The Company recorded the purchase of BevSystems under the purchase method of accounting and allocated the entire purchase price to intangible assets.

On August 15, 2008, the Company commenced operations and all activity prior thereto has been charged to operations. The Company is in the development stage.

Acquisitions

In October 2008, the Company acquired: (1) 75% of the outstanding common stock of Rotate Black-Gaming, Inc., (Gaming), (2) all of the assets of the casino development in Dayton, Nevada (Dayton) and (3) a 50% joint venture interest in Rotate Black India Pvt Ltd. (India) in exchange for 26,560,000, 5,480,900 and 8,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company, respectively, from RBL. The acquisitions have been recorded on the purchase method of accounting at their historical carrying amounts on RBL of the assets and liabilities acquired as of the date of acquisition as RBL is under common control with the Company.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and with the rules and regulations under Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for interim financial statements have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company together with the Company's management discussion and analysis in t he Company's Form 8-K/A for the period ended August 15, 2008. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and the subsidiary.

Investments in 50% or less owned entities are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the Company includes the net income or loss from the equity entity.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Financial Instruments

The Company considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses to approximate their fair values because of their relatively short maturities.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as they are incurred. Improvements and betterments which extend the lives of the assets are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are relieved from the appropriate accounts and any profit or loss on the sale or disposition of such assets is credited or charged to income.

9

Contract Rights and Intangible Assets

Contract rights and intangible assets are valued at cost and will be amortized over their estimated useful lives as determined by management. The Company evaluates the carrying value of the intangible assets for impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be greater than its fair value. If impaired, the Company will write-down such impairment.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes have been provided for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting under the liability method, using expected tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when realization is not considered more likely than not.

The Company’s policy is to classify income tax assessments, if any, for interest in interest expenses and for penalties in general and administrative expenses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (previously referred to as minority interests). SFAS 160 also requires that a retained noncontrolling interest upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at its fair value. Upon adoption of SFAS 160, the Company would be required to report any noncontrolling interests as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company would also be required to present any net income allocable to noncontrolling interests and net income attributable to stockholders of the Company separately in its consolidated statements of income. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively. The Company is currently assessing the effects of adoption of SFAS 160 which will be reflected in the financial statements on July 1, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for determining how an enterprise recognizes and measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, including noncontrolling interests, contingent consideration, and certain acquired contingencies. SFAS 141R also requires acquisition-related transaction expenses and restructuring costs be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a component of the business combination. SFAS 141R will be applicable prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R would have an impact on accounting for any businesses acquired after the effective date of this pronouncement.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the effects of adoption of FSP 142-3 which will be reflected in the financial statements on July 1, 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued Financial Staff Position 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies” (“FSP 141(R)-1”). FSP 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies SFAS 141R to address application issues associated with initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP 141(R)-1 is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the effects of adoption of FSP 141(R)-1 which will be reflected in the financial statements on July 1, 2009.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

3. GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,339,028, negative working capital of $1,842,183 as of March 31, 2009 and further losses are anticipated. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue.

4. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

As of March 31 2009, property and equipment consisted of the following:

Truck	$	39,761
Furniture and fixtures		8,490
Office equipment		15,647
		63,898
Less accumulated depreciation		(11,421	)
	$	52,477

Depreciation expense was $11,421 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009.

5. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

ITEM 2. 

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

As used herein the terms "we", "us", "our," the “Registrant,” and the "Company" means, Rotate Black, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included in this report.  This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  As a result of many factors, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

Rotate Black, Inc. (“Rotate Black, Inc.” or the “Company”)was incorporated in Nevada on August 2, 2006 to be the successor by merger of BevSystems International, Inc. and BevSystems International Ltd. (“BevSystems”) under a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) effective August 15, 2008, as approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court in Tampa, Florida. Under the terms of the Plan, BevSystems merged into the Company with the Company as the survivor.

The Company recorded the purchase of BevSystems under the purchase method of accounting and allocated the entire purchase price to intangible assets.  

On August 15, 2008, the Company commenced operations and all activity prior thereto has been charged to operations.

On October 7, 2008, the Company entered into certain agreements with Rotate Black, LLC (“RBL”) a Michigan Limited Liability Company for the acquisition of three of its business units, “Gaming” “Dayton” and “India” (as each is defined in the preceding notes to the financial statements).  Under the terms of the agreements Rotate Black, Inc. acquired land, receivables and contract rights for an aggregate of 40,440,900 shares of its common stock.

Transaction Highlights are as follows:

Rotate Black Gaming, Inc.

Under a stock purchase agreement Rotate Black, Inc.  acquired a seventy five percent (75%) ownership in RBL’s wholly owned subsidiary Rotate Black Gaming, Inc., a Nevada corporation.  Rotate Black Gaming, Inc. is currently under contract with the Seneca Nation of Indians for the exclusive development and management of a world-class casino resort tentatively scheduled to be named “the Seneca Catskills Resort and Casino”. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company has been retained to develop and manage a $1.3 billion destination casino resort to be constructed on 63 acres of land situated off exit 107 of Route 17 in the Town of Thompson in Sullivan County, New York. The project will represent the building of one of the nation’s first “Green” casinos as well as one of the largest developments in southern New York State. The development plan calls for construction in three phases:

Phase 1 – An interim sprung-structure facility housing a casino with 2,000 slots and 45 table games plus limited food & beverage facilities is planned for completion in late fall 2009.

Phase 2 – Interim facility will remain open during construction of the two phased permanent casino resort construction. The first phase of the permanent structure will host an additional 3,000 slots, and 50 table games, 30 poker tables, plus an expanded food court, feature bar and buffet.  Projected completion is in late 2010.

Phase 3 – completion of the world-class casino, resort and spa is planned for completion in 2012.  The completed facility will offer 1500 all-suite rooms with about 7,000 slots, 190 table games, 9 restaurants, 10 bars, an entertainment lounge, 10,000 sq. ft. nightclub, a 5,000 - seat event center, a 45,000 sq. ft. full service Spa, 105,000 sq. ft. of banquet space, 30,000 sq. ft. of retail space and many other amenities.

The plans for the project have been designed by Friedmutter & Associates, a leading design, architectural, and master planning firm specializing in casino resorts and Perini Corporation, the leader in both traditional and Native American casino resorts.

Dayton

The Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with RBL associated with Schaller Development’s “Traditions Casino Resort” to be developed and located in Dayton, Nevada.  Pursuant to Rotate Black’s current negotiations with Schaller Development Rotate Black would contribute $5.0 million of working capital into a newly formed subsidiary Rotate Black Dayton, Inc.  Then, Rotate Black Dayton, Inc. would sell shares representing 20% of the outstanding shares of Rotate Black Dayton to pay for Schaller’s contribution of $6.5 million of land and carrying all approvals and entitlements for gaming.  The project is expected to begin construction in the third quarter of 2009 with completion in early 2010.   

Rotate Black India Pvt LTD

Under a stock purchase agreement the Company acquired a fifty percent (50%) interest in Rotate Black India Pvt. LTD (“RBIP”), which was formed and registered in Ahmadabad, India.  RBIP was created pursuant to a joint venture with Sandesh, Ltd, one of India’s largest media groups, for the acquisition of a Five Star casino resort in the GOA region of India.  The Company plans to combine its operating experience with Sandesh’s media and talent capabilities to create India’s premier casino resort.  

Results of Operations

Operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are not comparable because, during 2007 and early 2008, the Company was not operational inasmuch as Management was pursuing contracts and approvals but not expending capital or incurring expenses while awaiting contracts and approvals.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2009, we had negative working capital of $1,842,183 compared to negative working capital of $95,293 at June 30, 2008.

We do not have sufficient funds to continue our operating activities. Future operating activities are expected to be funded by sales of common stock or the facilities financing.  Until then the funding will be provided by loans from officers, directors, major stockholders and others until such time that operations will generate sufficient funds.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Impact of Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the three and nine months ended

March 31, 2009. We cannot be assured that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The significant accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are as follows:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

16

Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) per share was computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the basic weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share was computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number and any potentially diluted shares outstanding during the period.

Share-Based Compensation

We recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and others based on the estimated fair values on the date of the grant. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model using the market price of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of zero, the remaining period or maturity date of the warrants and the expected volatility of our common stock.

Contract Rights and Intangible Assets

Contract rights and intangible assets are valued at cost and will be amortized over their estimated useful lives as determined by management. The Company will evaluate the carrying value of the intangible assets for impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be greater than its fair value. If impaired, the Company will write-down such impairment.

Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting under the liability method, using expected tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not, that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company’s policy is to classify income tax assessments, if any, for interest in interest expenses and for penalties in general and administrative expenses.

ITEM 4T.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. 

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

The Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer has evaluated the design, operation, and effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon the evaluation performed by the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, it was determined that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company’s financial reporting systems were not operating at a desirable level.  We are curre ntly working to improve our financial reporting systems.  Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company's Principal Executive Officers have determined that, during the period covered by this quarterly report, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. They have also concluded that there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls after the date of the evaluation.
