International Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc.
Form 12b-25
Form 10-K for Period Ended June 30, 2001
Part III - Narrative
The Company recently entered into a bareboat charter agreement to operate
an offshore gaming vessel. The Company is in the process of incorporating the
financial information and terms and conditions of this agreement into its Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 2001. As a result, the Company is unable to
complete the preparation of the Form 10-K report for filing on a timely basis.
Part IV - Other Information
(3) For the Fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, the Registrant anticipates
reporting a loss, subject to audit, in the range of $2,300,000 to $2,500,000 or
a loss of between $0.23 and $0.25 per share as compared to a loss reported in
Fiscal 2000 of $6,980,831 or a loss of $0.78 per share. The decrease in loss
from the prior fiscal year is primarily the result of: (a) a decrease in
interest and financing expense primarily as a result reduced debt; (b) carrying
costs for the Las Vegas property being eliminated as a result of its sale in
Fiscal 2000; and (c) the Registrant's acquiring on April 30, 2001 a bareboat
charter operation of an offshore gaming vessel, the M/V Palm Beach Princess
which provided operating income for the May and June 2001 period of operations.
