This document includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. These statements are included throughout the document, including the section entitled "Risk Factors," and relate to our business strategy, our prospects and our financial position. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "may," "will," "should" or "anticipates" or the negative or other variation of these or similar words, or by discussions of future events, strategies or risks and uncertainties. Specifically, forward-looking statements may include, among others, statements concerning:
Ÿ
our expectations of future results of operations or financial condition;
Ÿ
our expectations for new properties;
Ÿ
the timing, cost and expected impact of planned capital expenditures on our results of operations;
Ÿ
the impact of our geographic diversification;

our expectations with regard to further acquisitions and the integration of any companies we have acquired or may acquire;
Ÿ
the outcome and financial impact of the litigation in which we are or will be periodically involved;
Ÿ
the actions of regulatory, legislative, executive or judicial decisions at the federal, state or local level with regard to our business and the impact of any such actions;
Ÿ
our ability to maintain regulatory approvals for our existing businesses and to receive regulatory approval for new businesses;
Ÿ
our expectations for the continued availability and cost of capital.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, and accordingly, our forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors described below under the heading "Risk Factors" and in the information incorporated by reference herein. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, risks related to the following:
Ÿ
the passage of state, federal or local legislation that would expand, restrict, further tax or prevent gaming operations in or adjacent to the jurisdictions in which we do business;
Ÿ
increases in our effective rate of taxation at any of our properties or at the corporate level;
Ÿ
the activities of our competitors;
Ÿ
the existence of attractive acquisition candidates, the costs and risks involved in the pursuit of those acquisitions and our ability to integrate those acquisitions;
Ÿ
our ability to maintain regulatory approvals for our existing businesses and to receive regulatory approvals for new businesses;
Ÿ
our dependence on key personnel;
Ÿ
the availability and cost of financing;
Ÿ
the impact of terrorism and other international hostilities; and
Ÿ
other factors as discussed in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this document. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Notes to Financial Statements
(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 . The Plan also set a time table to meet all requirements under the Plan and the Company has met or is in the process of complying.
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.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited 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 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company together with the Company's management discussion and analysis in the Company's Form 8-K/A for the period ended August 15, 2008. Interim results are not neces sarily indicative of the results for a full year.
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.

Rotate Black, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
(UNAUDITED)
Intangible Assets
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.
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 presentatio n and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of SFAS 160 shall be applied prospectively. SFAS 160 would have an impact on the presentation and disclosure of the noncontrolling interests of any non wholly-owned businesses acquired in the future.
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 $924,989 as of September 30, 2008 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. This financial statement does 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 September 30 2008, property and equipment consisted of the following:
Truck | $ | 39,828 |
Furniture and fixtures |

Office equipment |

Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted both SRAS 157 and SFAS 159 without any effect.

SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require the use of fair value measurements.

SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement 115” (“SFAS 159”), permits an entity to elect to measure various financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.

(BevSystems) under a plan of reorganization (Plan) effective August 15, 2008, as approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court in Tampa, Florida.

Ltd. Under the terms of the agreements Rotate Black, Inc. will be acquiring land, receivables and contract rights for 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. will acquire 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.

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.
14
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 is acquiring 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 months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are not comparable because during 2007 the Company was dormant.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2008, we had negative working capital of $43,233 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 to and 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 months ended
September 30, 2008. 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.
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.
15
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.
Intangible Assets
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 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The information to be reported under this item is not required of smaller reporting companies.
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 Office and Principal Financial Officer, it was determined that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not adequate and effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures
Management is working to improve its disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting and to resolve deficiencies
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.
