NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2003 and 2002 (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - GENERAL The Company was incorporated on July 10, 1997, in Colorado as Masadi Resources, Inc. On February 10, 1998, the name was changed to International Beverage Corporation. On 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. Principles of Consolidation The Company currently has two wholly owned subsidiaries; IGW Software, Inc., (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 was engaged in the creation and operation of websites. 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 310(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 six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003. The December 31, 2002 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 financial statements and notes included in Form 10-KSB, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2002. 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. Certain reclassifications were made to the period ended June 30, 2002, financial statements, in order to conform to the 2003 presentation. 6 NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company and its subsidiaries are not directly involved in internet gaming. However, the Company has entered into royalty agreements with licensees who are involved in internet gaming. Some governmental jurisdictions have adopted or are in the process of reviewing legislation to regulate or prohibit internet gaming. The uncertainty surrounding the regulation or prohibition of internet gaming could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, revenues, operating results and financial condition. NOTE 4 ECONOMIC DEPENDENCE Two licensees accounted for 76.2% of consolidated net revenues for the six month period ending June 30, 2003. In the corresponding period of fiscal year 2002, 85.2% of consolidated revenues were accounted for by these two licensees. The loss of one or both of these licensees would have a detrimental effect on operating results. NOTE 5 SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company groups its business into two geographic segments; The United States of America and Curacao, Netherlands Antilles.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION As used herein, the term "Company," "we," "our," and "us" refers to Global Entertainment Holdings/Equities, Inc., and its subsidiaries and predecessors, unless otherwise indicated. Forward-Looking Information 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. Business Overview - ----------------- We are in the business of providing entertainment based software and services. Our licensees depend upon our software to improve their success in the online gaming industry through effective management of the activities on their websites and player ease of use and enjoyment. Our services are technology based only. We do not engage in any gaming or wagering activity. We generate our operating revenues exclusively from Interactive Gaming and Wagering, N.V., ("IGW") our wholly owned subsidiary, a Netherlands Antilles corporation. IGW is engaged in the development, licensing and hosting of proprietary Internet and telephony based gaming software. Other services offered to licensees include custom software development and professional services. IGW derives its revenues from licensing fees, software royalties and consulting services. Prevail Online, Inc., ("Prevail") our wholly owned subsidiary, a Colorado corporation, provided information about the online gaming industry through four website locations. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, Prevail had no revenues from advertising activities. On May 16, 2003, we transferred the websites owned by Prevail in exchange for the buyer's release of Prevail's obligation under a prepaid advertising contract to the buyer. The pre-payment totaled $21,000 and is included as an offset to administrative expenses associated with the disposition costs of those assets. Management is currently re-evaluating Prevail's business activities. We have created a suite of gaming software products to offer our licensees better risk management, ease of use and a back office product that simplifies player and gaming oversight. Our software offers a fully automated online entertainment experience for the licensee's player. Our online Sportsbook, Horsebook and Casino software systems are complemented by the player Loyalty software, the Webmaster Affiliate software and the Call Center software. All software products are integrated, enabling players to access all of an operator's affiliated websites seamlessly, using a single account. This integrated feature results in higher revenues for our licensees, as a result of giving players easier access to a larger variety of activities. 8 During this reporting period, we have placed greater emphasis on enhancing the reliability of our existing product suite, primarily addressing concerns and requested modifications to our products by our licensees. New development has taken a back seat to the above focus until management feels that our licensees' expectations and needs are met. We have completed our licensees requests and have resumed development of new products in June, 2003. Additionally, we have entered into an agreement with a software provider to co-market their casino products. This re-prioritization resulted in reduced resources employed in new products and version releases and shifted to maintenance and enhancement of our existing software products. Costs incurred in maintenance and enhancements are expensed as incurred, whereas new products and releases are capitalized and amortized over three years. The reduced capitalization has contributed to higher current period expenses which significantly impacted our loss from operations. Outlook - ------- Overall revenues for 2003 are expected to be significantly lower than 2002 levels. The anticipated decline in revenue is attributable to various factors. The primary reason results from the discontinuation of our Marketing Services activities and the transfer of the four websites out of our Prevail subsidiary. In 2002, Marketing Services and Prevail were not profitable, although together they generated $835,151 in revenue during 2002. Additionally, our revenues are seasonal. Historically, the second and third quarters have been lower revenue periods in comparison to the first and fourth quarters. The market conditions for our licensee's in the online gaming industry are not as attractive as they have been historically. Specifically, online gamers who seek entertainment at our licensees' websites have a more difficult situation in depositing funds today. This constriction on Ecommerce invariably decreases the amount of revenue produced by our licensees and is a significant factor in our diminished growth for 2003; moreover, there is a possibility that anti-online gaming Ecommerce legislation may pass in 2003 which could further curtail revenue. Finally, under an agreement negotiated in 2002, with one of our major licensees, our royalty rate is subject to a reduction that will occur in 2003. Management has taken steps to reduce costs, consolidate operations and adjust activities to coincide with anticipated revenue levels. It is not anticipated that these factors will influence our liquidity. On February 19, 2003, we executed a lease for 7,074 square feet of office space in Miami, Florida. We completed occupying this space as our corporate headquarters in July, 2003. We have made arrangements to sublease our current executive offices in Miami, Florida, under which our lease obligation continues until December, 2004. The new offices will house our executive and administrative personnel, client support services and software development activities. We anticipate considerable long term cost savings by consolidating these activities from our Curacao offices into the Miami office. In the short-term however, wages and salaries should be higher than normal given the required redundancies in the anticipated moves. The sublease of our current offices will result in an estimated $33,000 loss over the remaining term of the existing lease. Results of Operations - --------------------- Revenues for the six months ending June 30, 2003 and 2002 were composed of the following elements: 2003 2002 ---------- ---------- Royalty Income $2,012,896 $1,970,752 License Fees 72,500 95,000 Bandwidth Services 173,877 170,180 Other Revenue 54,398 356,166 ---------- ---------- Total $2,313,671 $2,592,098 9 Royalty income increased two percent to $2,012,896 from $1,970,752 for the six months ending June 30, 2003 compared to 2002. The decrease in Other Revenue represents the discontinuation of Marketing Services. Cost of sales increased nine percent from seventy one percent of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2002, to eighty percent for the three months ended June,30 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2003, the increase was six percent. The increase was primarily due to activities of the marketing services business and higher amortization of software development costs. Additionally, software support costs in the first quarter of this fiscal year were higher than the same period in 2002, as a result of less development efforts coupled with more effort in product enhancements. Bandwidth costs were substantially lower in the three month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same time frame in 2002, due to a renegotiation with our principal supplier to adjust the billing amount to our seasonal income periods. The following amounts compose cost of sales for each period: Three months ended 6/30 Six months ended 6/30 2003 2002 2003 2002 ----------------------- -------------------- Amortization of Proprietary Software $ 172,174 $121,942 $ 338,762 $ 230,139 Bandwidth 58,539 91,640 176,168 185,101 Software support and maintenance 170,574 110,248 357,072 209,540 Salaries 376,268 323,912 683,013 642,828 Marketing Services - 168,883 21,645 340,831 Sponsorship Projects 6,219 2,299 468 4,756 --------- -------- --------- -------- Total $ 783,774 $818,924 $1,577,128 $1,613,195 Expenses increased $121,573 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 2002. This increase was generated from the increased costs in Professional fees and Wage expenses. Professional fees increased as a result of legal and accounting services connected with the complaint we have filed against a former officer and shareholder, as further described in Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings in our report for the period ended March 31, 2003. Wages and Salaries increased $316,514 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as a result of increased employment levels in the sales, administrative and technical operations. The following table represents the number of personnel employed in all departments, for the respective periods: 2003 2002 ---- ---- January 46 36 February 45 38 March 43 41 April 43 40 May 39 40 June 36 43 Expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to June 30, 2002, decreased $60,128, primarily due to lower administrative expenses and the absence of bad debt writeoffs. Interest expense decreased $13,566 to $6,966 from $20,532 for the three months ending June 30, 2003 compared to 2002, and $31,502, to $20,036 from $51,538 for the six months ending June 30, 2003 compared to 2002. The lower interest expense is due to the principal payments made on notes payable during the year 2002 and the six months ending June 30, 2003. 10 Interest income increased to $9,934 from $353 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 2002 and to $28,680 from $1,173 for the six months ending June 30, 2003 versus 2002. The $9,581 and $27,507 increases for those respective periods was earned on the conversion of an account receivable to an interest bearing note receivable during 2002. The increase in net loss incurred for the three months ending June 30, 2003 of $72,668, compared to the net loss for the three months ending June 30, 2002 and the increase in net loss of $298,133 for the six months ending June 30, 2003 compared to 2002, can be attributed to increased wage and salary expense. This increase in wage and salary expense resulted from lower software capitalization during these periods due to management's decision to focus resources on stabilization and improved reliability of our software products in lieu of new product development. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures. However, we are committed to moving our corporate headquarters and our data center in July, 2003. These moves will incur expenditures in capital assets and costs of relocation. We anticipate the impact to cash flow, expenses and assets as follows: Direct moving expenses incurred $ 36,700 Deposits required by landlords 85,000 New equipment purchases 303,625 We anticipate funding these costs through a combination of current operating cash flow and external financing, such as short term leases and demand notes. In the event we are unable to obtain the required financing, arrangements will be made with the vendors to extend payment terms to coincide with current operating cash flow. We have been advised by a licensee, that a recalculation of prior royalties may occur in the third or fourth quarter of this year. This is as a result of certain defalcations occurring to their activities under which they believe there exists a claim to adjust our previously earned royalties. Because management believes the licensee is not entitled to recalculate previous royalties, under the circumstances described by the licensee, and the amount of the loss cannot be determined at this time, no provision has been recorded to reflect such an adjustment. Our principal source of short term liquidity is operating cash flow. A substantial decrease in revenues could impact the funds from operating cash flow and jeopardize our ability to meet current obligations. We do not have a credit line or any alternative means of short term funding. Management is taking steps to correct this situation. During the current fiscal year ending December 31, 2003, $395,864 of notes payable will be due for payment. Of this amount, we have already paid $229,246 during the six months ended June 30, 2003. We anticipate satisfying the balance of this debt from collections on the notes receivable of $578,779. Net cash provided from operating activities was $476,838 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $762,413 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The primary source of cash from operations in the current period was derived from collections on notes receivable, whereas for the same period in 2002 the primary source was collections on fees receivable as previously discussed. 11 Net cash used in investing activities in the amount of $408,409 and $310,730 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, represented primarily the purchase of fixed assets and the capitalization of software development costs in both periods. The following table summarizes the Company's contractual payments and obligations by period (amounts in thousands): Contractual Obligations Payment Due by Period Less Than After Total 1 year 1-3 years 4 - 5 years 5 years ----- ------ --------- ----------- ------- Operating Leases 1,716 304 1,126 286 - Total Contractual Cash Obligations $ 1,716 $ 304 $ 1,126 $ 286 $ - Amounts presented represent real estate leases without offset for anticipated sub lease of the former executive offices located in Miami, Florida. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - ------------------------------------------ Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our annual report filed on form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002. The accounting policies used in preparing our interim 2003 consolidated financial statements are the same as those described in our annual report. We believe the critical accounting policies listed below affect significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, although they are not all inclusive. Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenues in accordance with the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," as amended by SOP 98-4 and SOP 98-9, as well as Technical Practice Aids issued from time to time by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." We license software under non-cancelable royalty agreements and provide related professional services, including consulting, training, and implementation services, as well as ongoing customer support and maintenance. Consulting and training services are not essential to the functionality of our software products Software Development Costs. Software development costs are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility is established. Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized over their three year estimated useful lives. Management is required to use professional judgment in determining whether development costs meet the criteria for immediate expense or capitalization. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our licensees to make required payments. If the financial condition of our licensees were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required or revenue could be deferred until collectibility becomes probable. Contingencies. We are subject to the possibility of various loss contingencies in the normal course of business. We accrue for loss contingencies when a loss is estimable and probable. 12 ITEM 3. EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Within 90 days prior to the filing of this quarterly report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as required pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under rules promulgated by the SEC, disclosure controls and procedures are defined as those "controls or other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms." Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that such controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings. There were no significant changes in internal controls that could significantly affect the disclosure controls and procedures since the date of the evaluation. 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
