PART I.
Item 1. Business
Overview
IMG Resort and Casino
     IMG Resort and Casino, established on April 2, 2003, is a wholly owned enterprise of the Tribe with the exclusive power to conduct and regulate gaming activities on the Tribe’s reservation. We operate New Mexico’s only all-season gaming destination resort on the Tribe’s 725 square mile reservation in south-central New Mexico. We are located in the forests of the Sacramento Mountains and our operations include: a full- service casino, the Travel Center, offering 17,000 square feet of gaming space including 499 slot machines and 14 table games as of April 30, 2007; and a new resort hotel and casino on the banks of Lake Mescalero offering 38,000 square feet of gaming space including 999 slot machines and 33 table games as of April 30, 2007; the second largest ski resort in New Mexico; a championship golf course; big-game hunting and various other outdoor recreational activities. We are located approximately 120 miles north of El Paso, Texas and the Mexican border, approximately 200 miles south of Albuquerque, New Mexico and approximately 10 miles west of the resort town of Ruidoso. Ruidoso and its surrounding area offers tourists a variety of year-round activities, including skiing, golfing, hunting, boating, fishing, camping, swimming, horseback riding and cultural events. The neighboring town of Ruidoso Downs features the Ruidoso Downs Race Track and Casino, offering quarter horse and thoroughbred racing throughout the summer months and is home of the world’s richest quarter horse race, the All-American Futurity. White Sands National Monument, which attracts in excess of 500,000 visitors a year, is located approximately 60 miles away from our properties.
     Our casinos and resort hotel are conveniently located off of a heavily traveled four-lane highway, U.S. Highway 70. According to the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department, approximately 5.9 million vehicles travel across U.S. Highway 70 each year. We are the only full-service casino operator within our primary market area, encompassing southern New Mexico, including the cities of Ruidoso, Alamogordo, Las Cruces and Roswell and western Texas, including the cities of El Paso, Lubbock and Odessa, and northern Mexico, including Ciudad Juárez.
Our Business Activities
     IMG Resort and Casino was formed by the Tribe on April 2, 2003 to be the holding company for all of the Tribe’s gaming and resort enterprises. Prior to the formation of IMG Resort and Casino, the Tribe operated all of its gaming and resort activities through four separate tribal enterprises: Casino Apache, which owned and operated the Tribe’s original casino, Casino Apache, since the commencement of its operations in 1992; Ski Apache, which owned and operated the Tribe’s ski resort, since the commencement of its operations in 1964; Inn of the Mountain Gods, which owned and operated the Tribe’s resort hotel, the Inn of the Mountain Gods, since the commencement of its operations in 1975; and the Travel Center, which owned and operated the Tribe’s second gaming facility, Casino Apache Travel Center, since the commencement of its operations in April 2003. On April 2, 2003, each of the Tribe’s gaming and resort enterprises — the Travel Center, Casino Apache, Ski Apache and Inn of the Mountain Gods — were contributed to IMG Resort and Casino by the Tribe and are wholly-owned subsidiaries of IMG Resort and Casino.
Gaming
     We currently operate two gaming facilities, the Travel Center and IMG Resort and Casino. The Travel Center, opened on May 21, 2003, is located directly on U.S. Highway 70 and is highly visible to drivers in both directions. As of April 30, 2007, the Travel Center featured 17,000 square feet of gaming space, 499 slot machines and 14 table games, including blackjack and roulette. IMG Resort and Casino opened on March 15, 2005 and is located two miles off of U.S. Highway 70, adjacent to the site of our old casino, Casino Apache. As of April 30, 2007, IMG Resort and Casino featured 38,000 square feet of gaming space, 993 slot machines and 32 table games, including craps, blackjack, roulette, three-card poker and “Let it Ride;” a 100-seat buffet restaurant; a gift shop and approximately 2,200 customer parking spaces.

Resort Amenities
     The original Inn of the Mountain Gods opened in 1975 and quickly established its brand identity across New Mexico, West Texas and other parts of the region as a five-star, all-season resort destination which offered a wide range of amenities and recreational activities. The brand also benefited tremendously from the resort’s natural surroundings and the beauty of Mescalero which is situated in the Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico. These mountains provide a spectacular backdrop for the Inn’s18-hole championship golf course, which was designed by Ted Robinson, and create an ideal setting for enjoying skiing, horseback riding, big game hunting, water sports on Lake Mescalero and many other recreational opportunities made available by the Mescalero Apache Tribe.
     The Tribe opened the new and expanded Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino in March 2005 and was able to build on the 30-year reputation of quality already established by the original facility. The new Inn has received the prestigious four diamond award from AAA in each of its first two years of operations and has been recognized for excellence in convention & meetings facilities, as well as golf. A luxury hotel featuring 273-guest rooms, 40,000 sq. ft. of flexible meeting space, compliment a 38,000 sq ft casino which offers class III Las Vegas-style gaming.”
Skiing
     We have owned and operated Ski Apache since 1964. Ski Apache has 750-acres of ski area and is the second largest snow ski area (based upon acres of ski area) in the State of New Mexico. Our ski resort is located on U.S. Forest and Tribal land on the 12,003-foot Sierra Blanca Mountain, on the southern tip of the Rocky Mountains, approximately 20 miles from the site of the Resort. The number of annual skier visits ranges from 160,000 to 220,000 in a typical year with average snowfall. At April 30, 2007, Ski Apache featured:
    11 lifts providing the largest lift capacity in New Mexico (over 16,500 people per hour), which include a four-passenger gondola (the only one in New Mexico), two quad chair lifts, five triple chairs, one double chair lift and two surface lifts;
 
    a base elevation of 9,600 feet and a vertical drop of 1,900 feet;
 
    55 ski trails, of which 20 percent are beginner, 35 percent are intermediate and 45 percent are advanced, as well as Apache Bowl, an expert open bowl ski area;
 
    a Professional Ski Instructors of America ski and snowboarding school; and
 
    a sport shop with ski rental, offering top quality ski and snowboarding equipment.
     Although Ski Apache typically averages over 15 feet of snowfall each year, Ski Apache features a multi-million dollar snowmaking system, which covers 1,000 feet of vertical drop, trails for all ability levels and the use of 8 of its 11 lifts.
Business Strategy
For the past fiscal year, IMGRC management focused on solid execution of a proven business strategy that combined an emphasis on revenue growth, expense containment, consistency in the delivery of quality in all products & services and the documentation & implementation of expanded internal controls.
    The Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino — The resort continues to be marketed and branded as the best all-season resort destination in the southwest. The combination of premium quality facilities that are situated in the naturally beautiful mountains of Mescalero, distinguish the Inn from its competition within the region. To further refine the Inn’s brand, consistency in the delivery of quality in all services & amenities has been essential to attracting new guests as well as retaining existing ones. From an operational perspective, containing costs and creating greater efficiencies in operations also contributed to the improvements in quality. This enabled management to avoid passing price increases on to the guest which further enhanced value. The documentation and implementation of internal controls yielded the first wave of improvements in financial management — even greater benefits to the operations are anticipated in the coming year.
 
    Casino Apache Travel Center — Casino Apache has developed a very strong local’s customer base which fuels a year-round revenue stream. Additionally, because the facility is located right on Highway 70, revenues are further boosted by more than 8,000 vehicles passing by each day. Gasoline prices are kept at .03-cents below the local Wal-Mart to ensure that fuel is priced to attract traffic off the highway. Mid-week food & gaming promotions are also offered and showcased on the electronic readerboard — the grill-type restaurant features larger portion sizes of high-quality at very reasonable prices. A

      wide variety of slots is offered with a concentration in the lower denominations. Table games also offer lower limits to extend playtime for the guest.
    Ski Apache — In the prior year (2005-06 ski season), Ski Apache experienced a 60% decrease in skier visits as compared to its 5-year average — this was attributable to receiving only 16” of natural snowfall throughout the entire season or less than 10% of the annual average. As a result, the Ski Apache team implemented an expanded cost control program to compensate for having to produce man-made snow during nearly 80% of the season. This cost structure was then carried over to the 2006-07 ski year and was a major factor in the generation of the highest cash flow & operating margin ever generated by Ski Apache. The management team also concentrated on service, maintenance and improved labor utilization — marketing & advertising support was boosted to help fuel increases in skier visits back to 5-year averages.
 
    Championship Golf — The Ted Robinson-designed championship golf course is a very productive standalone asset that also serves as a critical amenity for the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort. The golf course was originally opened in 1975 and has developed a reputation for providing a high-quality golf experience in a uniquely beautiful mountain setting. The golf course brand has also been enhanced by serving as the host location for the top two professional tournaments held in the State of New Mexico for the past three years. The Hotel Sales department has been very successful in increasing mid-week group business by cross-marketing conventions & meetings with access to the championship golf course.
 
    Big Game Hunting — Mescalero Big Game Hunts has been nationally-recognized as one of the top bull elk operations in North America. Co-branding alliances with Cabela’s Outdoor Outfitters and Christensen Arms, a premium firearms manufacturer, have expanded awareness and boosted recognition not only of the hunts but of the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort. In particular, the Inn has successfully marketed the hunt program to attract new high-end gaming customers — the hunts are a premium amenity that cannot be duplicated by any competitor within or near our market.
Gaming in New Mexico
Competition
     Our primary market area encompasses southern New Mexico, including the cities of Ruidoso, Alamogordo, Las Cruces and Roswell, western Texas, including the cities of El Paso, Lubbock and Odessa and northern Mexico, including Ciudad Juárez. According to the U.S. Census Bureau and Desarrollo Economico de Ciudad Juárez/INEGI there are approximately 3.1 million people in our primary market area and 1.8 million adults.
     Currently, we are the only full-service casino operator within our primary market area. We currently face competition in our primary market area from two racinos, Ruidoso Downs, 10 miles away in Ruidoso and Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino, 125 miles away in Sunland Park, New Mexico. Ruidoso Downs offers quarter horse and thoroughbred racing from May through September, as well as a 20,000 square foot casino featuring 300 slot machines and a buffet restaurant. Sunland Park offers quarter horse and thoroughbred racing from mid-November to early-April, a 36,000 square foot casino facility, 700 slot machines and five restaurants. Both of these facilities lack table games and lodging facilities. In addition, we compete with 11 other New Mexico Indian casinos and one racino located in and around Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico, which is outside of our primary market area plus a racino in Hobbs, NM, which is also outside our primary market area, but impacts our west Texas customers.
     We also compete with other forms of legal gaming in New Mexico, Texas and Northern Mexico, including horse racing, Class II gaming, pari-mutuel wagering, the New Mexico State Lottery, the Texas State Lottery, as well as non-gaming leisure activities. We intend to expand our existing geographic market and increase the percentage of our overnight and larger spending customers who tend to live greater distances from us. We hope that with the completion of the Project, we will be able to compete more directly for regional overnight and national customers with casinos and resorts located in other parts of the country.
Mescalero Apache Tribe
Tribal Administration
     The Tribe is a federally recognized Indian tribe located on a 750 square mile reservation in south-central New Mexico and has approximately 4,400 members. The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 and subsequent federal legislation govern the relationship between the Tribe and the United States government. The Tribe operates under a constitution approved by the United States Secretary of the Interior on March 25, 1936, revised on January 12, 1965, and amended on May 31, 1985.

3


Table of Contents

     In accordance with its Constitution, the Tribe is governed by and enacts laws through ordinances and resolutions of the Mescalero Apache Tribal Council, or the Tribal Council, which is comprised of a President, Vice President and eight Council Members, each of whom is elected by a majority vote of the eligible adult enrolled members of the Tribe. The President is a non-voting member of the Tribal Council and the Vice President only votes if necessary to break a tie. Each member of the Tribal Council serves a two-year term, with the terms of the voting members staggered so that each year four of those eight positions are up for election. The Tribal Council has the power, by ordinance, to establish the principles and policies governing the operation and control of all enterprises of the Tribe. The Tribal President has the power to contract for the Tribe upon authorization from the Tribal Council. The Tribal Executive Committee, or the Executive Committee, has responsibility for oversight of all business activities on behalf of the Tribal Council. The Executive Committee is comprised of the President and Vice President as well as a Secretary and Treasurer. The Secretary and Treasurer are appointed by the President from the present Tribal Council.
Tribal Court System
     The Constitution and Tribal Code provides for the establishment of the tribal court known as the Mescalero Apache Tribal Court, or Tribal Court. The jurisdiction of the Tribal Court extends to all matters, criminal and civil, except where prohibited by the Constitution, laws or treaties of the United States of America, and except as this jurisdiction may be otherwise limited from time to time by ordinance of the Tribal Council. The criminal offenses over which the Tribal Court has jurisdiction may be embodied in a Code of Laws, adopted by ordinance of the Tribal Council, and subject to review by the Secretary of the Interior. The duties and procedures of the Tribal Court are determined by ordinance of the Tribal Council.
     The Tribal Court consists of a chief judge and two associate judges, appointed by the President of the Tribe, with the concurrence of not less than a three-fourths majority vote of the whole membership of the Tribal Council. The Tribal Council also sits as a court of appeals whenever necessary and may hear appeals at any regular or special meeting. The tenure and salary of tribal judges is established by resolution of the Tribal Council.
     A judge of the Tribal Court must be an Indian as defined in the Tribal Code, not less than thirty-five years or more than seventy years of age; and cannot have been convicted of a felony, or, within one year, of a misdemeanor. The Tribal Code defines an “Indian” as some one who possesses at least one-quarter Indian blood, and is a member of any federally recognized tribe, nation, or band of Indians, or is an Eskimo, Aleut, or other Alaskan.
     The Tribe has adopted its own rules of procedure and evidence, which are found in the Tribal Code. In determining cases, a tribal court judge relies on the applicable laws in the following order of precedence:
(a) Tribal Constitution, Tribal Code, ordinances, traditions and customs and (b) federal laws not in conflict with tribal laws and customs.
Mescalero Apache Tribal Gaming Commission
     On August 20, 1999, the Tribe formed the Mescalero Apache Tribal Gaming Commission as a governmental subdivision of the Tribe. The Mescalero Apache Tribal Gaming Commission consists of 4 members, including a Chairman, Vice Chairman and Secretary-Treasurer and Commissioner. The Mescalero Apache Tribal Gaming Commission is vested with the authority to regulate all licenses and gaming activity conducted on tribal lands, including licensing persons, vendors, financial sources and contractors employed by the casino, ensuring compliance with internal control standards established by the National Indian Gaming Commission, or the NIGC, an independent agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior and establishing technical specifications for gaming devices. The Mescalero Apache Tribal Gaming Commission is responsible for carrying out the Tribe’s regulatory responsibilities under federal, state and tribal law and the 2001 Compact.
Government Regulation
General
     We are subject to federal, state and tribal laws governing commercial relationships with Indians, Indian gaming and the management and financing of casinos owned by an Indian tribe. In addition, we are regulated by federal and state laws applicable to the gaming industry generally and to the distribution of gaming equipment. The following description of the regulatory environment in which Indian gaming takes place and in which we operate our casinos is only a summary and not a complete recitation of all

applicable law. Moreover, this particular regulatory environment is more susceptible to changes in public policy considerations than others. We cannot predict how certain provisions will be interpreted from time to time or whether they will remain intact. Changes in these laws could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations and our ability to meet our debt service obligations.
Tribal Law and Legal Systems
     Applicability of Federal Law. Federally recognized Indian tribes are independent governments, subordinate to the United States, with sovereign powers, except as those powers may have been limited by treaty or by the U.S. Congress. The power of Indian tribes to enact their own laws to regulate gaming derives from the exercise of tribal sovereignty and is subject to federal law. Indian tribes maintain their own governmental systems and often their own judicial systems. Indian tribes have the right to tax persons and businesses operating on Indian lands, and also have the right to require licenses and to impose other forms of regulations and regulatory fees on persons and businesses operating on their lands.
     Waiver of Sovereign Immunity; Jurisdiction; Exhaustion of Tribal Remedies. Indian tribes enjoy sovereign immunity from unconsented suit similar to that of the states and the United States. To sue an Indian tribe (or an enterprise, agency or instrumentality of an Indian tribe, such as us), the tribe must have effectively waived its sovereign immunity with respect to the matter in dispute. Further, in most commercial disputes with Indian tribes, the jurisdiction of the federal courts, which are courts of limited jurisdiction, may be difficult or impossible to obtain. A commercial dispute is unlikely to present a federal question, and courts have ruled that an Indian tribe as a party is not a citizen of any state for purposes of establishing diversity jurisdiction in the federal courts. The remedies available against an Indian tribe also depend, at least in part, on the rules of comity requiring initial exhaustion of remedies of tribal tribunals and, as to some judicial remedies, the tribe’s consent to jurisdictional provisions contained in the disputed agreements. Under U.S. Supreme Court case law, where a tribal court exists, the remedies in that forum first may have to be exhausted before any dispute arising on or involving the affected tribe’s reservation and to which the tribe, a tribal enterprise such as us or a tribal member is a party, can be properly heard by federal or state courts which would otherwise have jurisdiction. Generally, where a dispute as to the existence of jurisdiction in the tribal forum exists, the tribal court first may need to rule as to the limits of its own jurisdiction, subject to certain limited exceptions enumerated by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988
     Regulatory Authority. The operation of casinos and of all gaming on Indian land is subject to the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 (the “IGRA”). IGRA is administered by the NIGC which exercises primary federal regulatory responsibility over Indian gaming. The NIGC has exclusive authority to issue regulations governing tribal gaming activities, approve tribal ordinances for regulating Class II and Class III gaming (as described below), approve management agreements for gaming facilities, and conduct investigations and generally monitor tribal gaming. The Bureau of Indian Affairs, or the BIA, which is a bureau of the Department of the Interior, retains certain responsibilities under IGRA (such as the approval of per capita distribution plans to tribal members and the approval of transfers of lands into trust status for gaming). The BIA also has responsibility to review and approve land leases and other agreements relating to Indian lands. Criminal enforcement is a shared responsibility of the U.S. Department of Justice, the state in which the Tribe is located and the Tribe, in accordance with federal law.
     The NIGC is empowered to impose civil penalties for violations of IGRA. IGRA also provides for federal criminal penalties for illegal gaming on Indian land and for theft from Indian gaming facilities. The NIGC has adopted rules implementing certain provisions of IGRA. These rules govern, among other things, the submission and approval of tribal gaming ordinances or resolutions and require an Indian tribe to have the sole proprietary interest in and responsibility for the conduct of any gaming on its lands. Tribes are required to issue gaming licenses only under articulated standards, conduct or commission financial audits of their gaming enterprises, perform or commission background investigations for primary management officials and key employees and maintain facilities in a manner that adequately protects the environment and the public health and safety. These rules also set out review and reporting procedures for tribal licensing of gaming operation employees.
     Classes of Gaming. IGRA classifies games that may be conducted on Indian lands into three categories. Class I gaming includes social games solely for prizes of minimal value or traditional forms of Indian gaming engaged in by individuals as part of, or in connection with, tribal ceremonies or celebrations. Class II gaming includes bingo, pulltabs, lotto, punch boards, non-banked card games, tip jars, instant bingo and other games similar to bingo, if those games are played at the same location as bingo is played. Class III gaming includes all other forms of gaming, such as slot machines, video casino games, banked table games and other commercial gaming, such as sports betting and pari-mutuel wagering.

Table of Contents

     Class III gaming is permitted on Indian lands if the conditions applicable to Class II gaming are met and, in addition, the gaming is conducted in conformity with the terms of a tribal-state compact, which is a written agreement between the tribal government and the government of the state within whose boundaries the tribe’s lands lie. IGRA requires Indian tribes to enter into tribal-state compacts in order to conduct Class III gaming.
     Tribal-State Compacts. Tribal-state compacts may include provisions for the allocation of criminal and civil jurisdiction between the state and the Indian tribe necessary for the enforcement of these laws and regulations, taxation by the Indian tribe of the Class III gaming activity in amounts comparable to those amounts assessed by the state for comparable activities, remedies for breach, standards for the operation of the Class III gaming activity and maintenance of the gaming facility, including licensing and any other subjects that are directly related to the operation of gaming activities. While the terms of tribal-state compacts vary from state to state, compacts within one state tend to be substantially similar. Tribal-state compacts usually specify the types of permitted games, establish technical standards for video gaming machines, set maximum and minimum machine payout percentages, entitle the state to inspect casinos, require background investigations and licensing of casino employees and may require the tribe to pay a portion of the state’s expenses for establishing and maintaining regulatory agencies. Some tribal-state compacts are for set terms, while others are for indefinite duration.
     Tribal Ordinances. Under IGRA, except to the extent otherwise provided in a tribal-state compact as described below, Indian tribal governments have primary regulatory authority over Class III gaming on land within a tribe’s jurisdiction. Therefore, a tribe’s gaming operations, and persons engaged in gaming activities, are guided by and subject to the provisions of that tribe’s ordinances and regulations regarding gaming.
     IGRA requires that the NIGC review tribal gaming ordinances and authorizes the NIGC to approve these ordinances only if they meet requirements relating to:
    the ownership, security, personnel background, recordkeeping and auditing of a tribe’s gaming enterprises;
 
    the use of the revenues from that gaming; and
 
    the protection of the environment and the public health and safety.
Possible Changes in Federal Law. Several bills have been introduced in Congress that would amend IGRA. While there have been a number of technical amendments to the law, to date there have been no material changes to IGRA. Any amendment of IGRA could change the governmental structure and requirements within which we could conduct gaming, and may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations or impose additional regulatory or operational burdens.
Employee and Labor Relations
     As of April 30, 2007, we had 1,097 full-time team members, excluding approximately 186 additional seasonal team members who alternate between Ski Apache during the ski season, which typically runs from Thanksgiving to Easter and then return to work at the hotel the other months. We have developed and implemented training programs for our hotel and resort team members and believe that we will be able to hire and train a sufficient number of employees for the operation of the Resort. Our team members are not covered by any collective bargaining agreements. We have good labor relations with our team members, over 43.5% of whom are tribal, or tribal affiliates.

Risks Relating to Our Business
We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, which could adversely affect our financial condition.
     As of April 30, 2007, we had an aggregate of approximately $211.8 million of indebtedness outstanding, which includes $200.0 million of debt on the notes issued on November 3, 2003. This substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to you and significant effects on our business and future operations. For example, it could:
    make it more difficult for us to satisfy our debt service obligations;
 
    increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions or a downturn in our business;
 
    limit our ability to fund future working capital, capital expenditures and other general operating requirements;
 
    require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service our outstanding indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, the Project and other general operating requirements;
 
    place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and
 
    limit our ability to borrow additional funds.
     Our indebtedness could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we incur additional debt in the future, these adverse consequences could intensify.
Our failure to generate sufficient cash flow from our gaming and other resort operations could adversely affect our ability to meet our debt service obligations.
     Our ability to make payments on and repay or refinance our debt will depend on our ability to generate cash flow from the operations of our gaming and other resort operations. Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy our obligations will depend on our future operating performance, which is subject to many economic, competitive, regulatory and other business factors that are beyond our control. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt obligations, we may need to refinance or restructure our debt, sell assets, reduce or delay capital investments, or seek to raise additional capital. For the following reasons, among others, these alternatives may not be available to us on reasonable terms or at all, or, if available, they may not be available in amounts adequate to enable us to satisfy our debt service obligations:
    unlike non-governmental businesses, we are prohibited by law from generating cash through an offering of equity securities;
 
    our ability to incur additional debt is limited by the covenants of the indenture governing the notes; and
 
    the indenture governing the notes includes covenants which limit our ability to create liens on or sell our assets.
    If our cash flow is insufficient and we are unable to raise additional capital, we may not be able meet our debt service obligations.
Restrictive covenants in the indenture governing the notes may limit our ability to expand our operations and capitalize on our business opportunities.
     The indenture governing the notes includes covenants which limit our ability to borrow money, make investments, create liens, sell assets, engage in transactions with affiliates, engage in other businesses and engage in mergers or consolidations. These restrictive covenants may limit our ability to expand our operations and capitalize on business opportunities. If we are unable to expand our operation or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected and we may not be able to meet our debt service obligations.
     We may not be able to realize the benefits of our business strategy.
     The Project is part of our business strategy to develop an integrated resort, increase our market reach and realize operating benefits

from business synergies. We may not be able to fully implement this strategy or may not fully realize these anticipated benefits. Implementation of our business strategy could be adversely affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including general or local economic conditions, increased competition or other changes in our industry. In particular, we may not be able to attract a sufficient number of guests, gaming customers and other visitors in order to achieve our performance goals. Furthermore, we may not be successful in our plan to promote our customers’ utilization of our various resort amenities, including our gaming, hotel, entertainment and other amenities as anticipated or to a degree that will allow us to achieve our performance goals. Additionally, our business strategy, intended to capitalize on the spending levels of our patrons, attract customers from new target markets and reduce seasonality, may not achieve its intended results. A failure to effectively implement our business strategy could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and our ability to meet our debt service obligations.
Federal, state and Tribal laws and regulations, and our gaming compact, regulate our gaming operations and noncompliance with these laws and regulations by us or the Tribe, as well as changes in these laws and regulations (which are susceptible to changes in public policy) or future interpretations thereof, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct gaming, and thus on our ability to meet our debt service obligations.
     Federal, state and Tribal laws and regulations, and our gaming compact, regulate our gaming operations. For example, various regulatory bodies, including the NIGC, the Mescalero Apache Tribal Gaming Commission and the New Mexico Gaming Control Board have oversight of our gaming operations. In addition, Congress has regulatory authority over Indian affairs and can establish and change the terms upon which Indian tribes may conduct gaming. The operation of all gaming on Indian lands is subject to IGRA.
     The legal and regulatory environment governing our activities, which involve gaming and commercial relations with Indian tribes, is susceptible to changes in public policy regarding these matters. For example, over the past several years, legislation has been introduced in Congress designed to address a myriad of perceived problems with IGRA, including proposed legislation repealing many of the provisions of IGRA and prohibiting the operation of gaming on Indian reservations in states where gaming is not otherwise allowed on a commercial basis. While none of the substantive proposed amendments to IGRA have proceeded out of committee hearings to a vote by either house of the U.S. Congress, we cannot predict the ramifications of future legislative acts. Changes in applicable laws or regulations, or a change in the interpretation of these laws or regulations or our gaming compact with the State of New Mexico could limit or materially affect the types of gaming, if any, that we may offer. Any restrictions with respect to gaming could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and our ability to meet our debt service obligations.
We compete with casinos, other forms of gaming and other resort properties. If we are not able to successfully compete, we will not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations.
     Currently, we compete with 15 tribal gaming casinos and non-tribal racinos operated within 200 miles of our location, one of which, Ruidoso Downs, is approximately 10 miles away from us in Ruidoso, and another, Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino, is approximately 125 miles away from us in Sunland Park, New Mexico. Ruidoso Downs offers quarter horse and thoroughbred racing from May through September, as well as a 20,000 square foot casino featuring approximately 300 slot machines and a buffet restaurant. Sunland Park offers quarter horse and thoroughbred racing from mid-November to early-April, a 36,000 square foot casino featuring approximately 700 slot machines and five restaurants. The other 11 tribal gaming casinos and one racino are located in and around Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico, all of which are outside of our primary market area. We also compete with other forms of legal gaming in New Mexico, Texas and Northern Mexico, including horse racing, Class II gaming, pari-mutuel wagering, the New Mexico State Lottery, the Texas State Lottery, as well as non-gaming leisure activities. We intend to expand our existing geographic market and increase the percentage of our overnight and larger spending customers who tend to live greater distances from us. The Project will allow us to compete more directly for regional overnight and national customers with casinos and resorts located in other parts of the country. Many of our competitors in this expanded geographical market have substantially greater resources and name recognition than we do or are in a more convenient location, which is closer to a major population center or transportation hub. If we are unable to compete successfully, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected and we may not be able to meet our debt service obligations.
     We are highly dependent on our surrounding market area. As a result, we face greater risks than a geographically diverse company.
     We rely primarily on drive-in customers living within our primary market area consisting of southern New Mexico, western Texas and northern Mexico for the majority of our revenues. We expect to increase our market reach, but if our marketing strategy is not successful, our primary customer base will continue to be a predominately local one. Therefore, we are subject to greater risks than

more geographically diversified gaming or resort operations. Among others, the following conditions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations:
    a decline in the economies of our primary market area or a decline in the number of gaming customers from these areas for any reason;
 
    an increase in competition in our primary market area or the surrounding area;
 
    inaccessibility due to road construction or closures of primary access routes; and
 
    natural and other disasters in the surrounding area including forest fires and floods.
     These factors may cause a disruption in our business and as a result have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, result of operations and our ability to meet our debt service obligations.
We may face difficulties in recruiting, training and retaining qualified employees.
     The operation of our resort requires us to continuously recruit and retain a substantial number of qualified professionals, employees, executives and managers with gaming, hospitality, management and financial reporting experience. There can be no assurances that we will be able to recruit, train and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees. A failure to be able to recruit and retain qualified personnel could result in management, operating and financial reporting difficulties or affect the experience and enjoyment of our patrons, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or ability to meet our debt service obligations.
We do not have a history of operating on as large of a scale as contemplated by the Project.
     As a result of the Project, our business operations is significantly expanded in size and diversity. Our gaming space grew by more than 32,000 square feet (including the addition of a second casino location) and our gaming positions by approximately 700 slot machines and 22 table games. In addition, we have significantly expanded restaurant, lounge and bar operations, a fuel station and a number of additional retail facilities. The expansion of our resort operations places a significant demand on our management resources which may affect our ability to effectively manage our growth. These increased demands on our management could distract them from the operation of our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to meet our debt service obligations.
The terms of four of the eight voting members of the Tribal Council expire each year and the terms of the Tribe’s President and Vice President expire every two years; changes in the Tribal Council or its policies could affect the Resort or other aspects of our business.
     The Tribe is governed by a ten member Tribal Council, consisting of the President and Vice President of the Tribe and eight voting Tribal Council members. The President is a non-voting member of the Tribal Council and the Tribe’s Vice President only votes in the event of a tie in the voting of the eight voting members of the Tribal Council. Terms of all Tribal Council members (including the President and Vice President of the Tribe) are two years, with members elected on a staggered basis so that four Tribal Council members are elected each year. If there is a significant change in the composition of the Tribal Council, the new Tribal Council may not have the same agenda or goals as the current government, in particular with respect to the Resort. In addition, the Tribal Council acts by majority vote and with respect to any issue or policy, a change in views by one or more members could result in a change in the policy adopted by the Tribal Council. Changes in the Tribal Council or its policies could result in significant changes in our structure or operations or in the Resort, which could adversely affect our business plan or otherwise result in a material adverse effect in our business, financial condition, results of operations or ability to meet our debt service obligations.

(1)   We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We are instrumentalities of a sovereign Indian nation and are not subject to federal or state income tax. Below is a quantitative reconciliation of EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, which is net income:

EBITDA
  $ 23,628     $ 49,125     $ 20,297     $ 22,909     $ 40,567  
 
                             
We caution you that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers because not all issuers and analysts calculate EBITDA in the same manner. EBITDA is presented in this Form 10-K because management believes it is a useful supplement to income from operations and cash provided by operating activities in understanding cash flows available for debt service, capital expenditures and Tribal distributions. Accordingly, our management utilizes EBITDA along with net income, income from operations and other GAAP measures in evaluating our operations and performance. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative measure of our net income, income from operations, cash flow or liquidity. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity in accordance with GAAP. Although we believe EBITDA enhances your understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, this non-GAAP financial measure, when viewed individually, is not necessarily a better indicator of any trend as compared to GAAP financial measures (e.g., income from operations, net revenues, cash provided by operating activities) conventionally computed in accordance with GAAP.
(2) RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
“Earnings” consist of income (loss) from continuing operations including amortization of capitalized interest, before extraordinary items, and fixed charges. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense, capitalized expenses related to indebtedness, the portion of operating lease expense that represents interest and any preference security dividend requirements of consolidated subsidiaries. The table in Exhibit 12.1 sets forth our calculation of ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
Summary of Past Year’s Activities
This year’s improvements in revenue, cost-control, internal controls, guest service and EBITDA across each of the Tribe’s hospitality enterprises are the direct result of a comprehensive action plan to position the overall company for growth and expansion over the next few years. A summary of the most notable activities from the past year are highlighted below:

Table of Contents

Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino
    Boosting Slot Coin-In
    Increasing Time Value — By making select reductions in hold percentages, play time is extended for the guest. This was considered essential for building loyalty and earning repeat visitation from the player base.
 
    Enhancing Player Loyalty Program — The Apache Spirit Club is the guest loyalty program that offers incremental values to the guest for gaming & non-gaming spending. Points accumulated from gaming activity can be redeemed for all goods and services offered by any of IMGRC’s hospitality enterprises as well as for cash back — the program also offers a 5% discount in all non-gaming outlets.
 
    Expanding Direct Marketing Efforts — Direct marketing efforts have been refined using greater segmentation to more closely align reinvestment in the player with their earning potential. The scope of offers was also expanded to reach a broader mix of customers to stimulate repeat visitation during off-peak periods.
 
    Aggressive Special Events, Promotions & Concert Schedule — These programs are staged weekly to drive visitation & gaming activity during slower periods and to introduce new clientele to the resort.
 
    Refinements in Game Mix — Management continues to make refinements in game mix by reducing participation, wide-area progressive games and video poker games in favor of adding “house” games with lower hold percentages.
    Boosting Mid-week Room Occupancy
    Group Sales — Staffing was expanded to increase market share as well as improve the capture rate of select groups with greater spending profiles — room rates have increased nominally while the number of room nights attributable to groups has exceeded goals.
 
    Daily Yield Management — A broad range of rates is utilized with adjustments being made to the available rate on a daily basis in small increments of $10-$20. Emphasis has been placed on driving occupancy with modest year-over-year increases in the average rate.
 
    Leisure Marketing — Increases in occupancy from the leisure market segment has been achieved through direct marketing to established guests & prospects, as well as by broad-based advertising.
    Enhancing Guest Satisfaction
    Leadership Develop Series Training — Supervisors & above were required to attend 15 different classes covering 45-hours of mandatory training in all major aspects of leadership and management. This training also involved passing exams with a grade of 90% or better in each module.
 
    Anonymous Shoppers Program — An anonymous shopping company was retained to provide detailed accounts of an individual customer’s experience in all areas of the operations — the data collected was utilized for training and developing operational improvements.
 
    Revised Guest Satisfaction Program — The survey instruments were completely revised using a 7-point scoring system and re-focused on a broader range of issues with greater detail. Additionally, the distribution system of these surveys was expanded to increase the number of responses for more accurate measurement.
Casino Apache
    Improving Consistency in Products & Services
    Appointment of Director of Operations — The organization created the position of Director of Operations for Casino Apache to focus on monitoring day-to-day business, enhancing service and streamlining operations.

    Culinary Training — Technical training was implemented in food & beverage for the culinary team along with refining recipes and improving vendor management to reduce item substitutions.
 
    Implementation of Internal Controls — Internal controls continue to be standardized in documentation & implementation across all of the hospitality enterprises.
    Updating Casino Floor
    Slot Mix Refresh — The Slot Management team continues to swap out video poker, participation & wide-area progressive games to provide a mix of games that is more closely aligned with the market.
 
    Black Jack Tables — Four games that are open only one shift per week were replaced with new dollar slots — hours of operations and limits on the remaining black jack games were adjusted to avoid displacing any play.
 
    Table Games Training — Dealer and supervisory personnel in table games were required to undergo training, auditions and academic testing on game rules & protection measures.
    Unique Promotional & Marketing Programs

    Tobacco Products — Discount pricing is also offered on premium brand tobacco products to attract repeat visitation to the facility and build loyalty.
Ski Apache
    Profit Enhancement Strategies
    2005-06 Ski Season Cost Structure — During last year’s ski season, the mountain received only 16 inches of natural snow or 10% of the annual average. This lack of snow discouraged the skier market and drove skier visits down to 40% of 5-year averages. Therefore, management was forced to learn how to operate the ski facility without the average level of revenue — adjustments were made not only variable costs but to fixed costs as well to ensure that a profit could be generated.
 
    Operational Improvements — Labor hours were scheduled to more closely coincide with historical fluctuations in business levels through weekly labor forecasting and daily approvals of hours worked. Service was improved through training and constant reviews by management in all areas of the operations. The management structure was also reorganized to better utilize the skills and talents of the current management team and reward those individuals who performed to a higher standard and were able to take on additional duties.
 
    Lift Maintenance — The management team has done a superior job in the area of lift maintenance — not only is the work ahead of schedule but the level of detail in documentation was significantly improved above industry standards.

IMGRC Championship Golf
    Event Marketing to Refine the Brand
    Marquis Golf Tournaments — For the past three years, the IMGRC Championship Golf course has been the host location for the two largest and most prestigious tournaments in the State of New Mexico: the Adidas Tight Lies and the New Mexico Open. These events attract full fields of PGA professionals and also garner regional media coverage in newspaper and radio.
    Upgraded Maintenance Program
    Delayed Opening Date — Due to excessive amounts of snow still left on the ground by the usual course opening date in late March, the opening of the golf course was delayed until mid-April. This allowed the grass to come out of dormancy at a pace that allowed for a full recovery from the cold winter temperatures.
 
    Expanded Line of Fertilizers — The Grounds Maintenance team bought and applied an expanded line of fertilizers to make the grass more durable and prepare it for regular cutting & trimming.
Mescalero Big Game Hunts
    Continuation of Key Brand Alliances
    Cabela’s — IMGRC and the Mescalero Big Game Hunts has maintained a strategic brand alliance with Cabela’s for three full years. In exchange for limited sales opportunities for a select few of their most valuable clientele, the Mescalero Big Game Hunts receives premium print advertising and broad-based television advertising.
 
    Christensen Firearms Manufacturing — This company is a manufacturer of premium firearms for big game hunting — this company brings a camera crew once per year to film an actual bull elk hunt out in the field. The coverage also includes footage of the Inn and the other hospitality enterprises. All of this footage is then edited together to create a 30-minute television program for ESPN or the Outdoor Life network — the show airs multiple times during the year.
Significant Challenges and Accomplishments
The list of accomplishments over the past fiscal year is extensive and involves each of the individual hospitality enterprises:
    Expense Management — Further refinements were implemented in the areas of labor forecasting, daily payroll approvals, vendor management, daily cash management and the overhaul of supply chain operations to include purchasing controls, inventory management and receiving & distribution.
 
    Significant Over-Staffing — The right-sizing and complete reorganization of the operations that was initiated in the prior year was completed yielding a 19% reduction in year-over-year payroll costs on higher revenues.
 
    Design & Construction Flaws — Remedial construction projects were initiated in July 2005 to correct design & construction flaws with the resort’s residential hot water system, pool deck and underground retaining wall that follows the entire south perimeter of the Inn. These projects were fully completed by August 2006 to include 3rd party inspections which were necessary before restricted cash accounts could be released back to the Tribe as documented in the bond indenture.
 
    Delays in Releasing Financial Reports — The material weaknesses which were previously reported and led to delays in releasing reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have been corrected.
 
    Sarbanes-Oxley Act Compliance — IMGRC was fully compliant with 302-level certification requirements by 31 December 2006 as required by SOX law.

    Weak Management Team — Eight of thirteen directors were released and replaced with seasoned, experienced gaming & technical professionals who are able to introduce new operational efficiencies, improve overall business management and accelerate the education and development of team members across all areas of the enterprises.
 
    Facility Offerings “Out of Sync” with Guest Needs — The resort opened with multiple amenities that were not properly matched with the needs of the market place. This primarily encompassed restaurant menu engineering, the mix of slots, pricing strategies and product quality. Steps were taken in each of these areas to make immediate and sustained improvements.
 
    AAA Four Diamond Award — The Inn received its 2nd consecutive four diamond award during fiscal year 2007. Only 3% of resorts nation-wide achieve this distinction — only 8 resorts in New Mexico also received this award.
 
    Meetings & Conventions Magazine — This key industry publication awarded the Inn the prestigious Gold Tee award for excellence in meetings and golf facilities. Only 83 resorts in North America received this award. This recognition also comes from a premium target customer market that represents an accelerated revenue growth opportunity for the Inn.
 
    El Paso In & Out Magazine — This regional publication originates in the Inn’s top customer market and identified IMGRC as the top resort in the region for El Paso residents.
 
    Native American Casino Magazine — This gaming industry publication covers the entire Native American sector. On an annual basis, the magazine selects one operation to be worthy of being named, the sexiest casino. The criteria includes, but is not limited to: facility design, architecture and décor, natural beauty of the physical environment, amenities, lighting, service and the overall ambiance of the operations. This is only the 3rd year that the publication has offered this award. All 349 Native American gaming operations were surveyed — last year’s winner was Foxwoods of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe of Connecticut.
 
    One-Year Rebound by Ski Apache — The 2005-06 ski season was particularly grueling after receiving only 16” of natural snowfall for the entire season. However, through expanded marketing and solid preparations by the ski management team, the operation rebounded fully the next season and generated in excess of 185,000 skier visits for the 2006-07 season which was in-line with 5-year averages for visitation.
 
    Four Bond Payments — The Tribe and its hospitality enterprises have made four separate bond interest payments out of cash from operations totaling $48M during the period of November 2005 through May 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies
     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 recorded amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the period. Significant accounting policies employed by us, including the use of estimates and assumptions, are presented in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. Our management bases its estimates on its historical experience, together with other relevant factors, in order to form the basis for making judgments that will affect the carrying value of assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and makes changes to carrying values as deemed necessary and appropriate. We believe that estimates related to the following areas involve a high degree of judgment and/or complexity: the liability associated with unredeemed Apache Spirit Club points, the estimated lives of depreciable assets, pension costs, inventory reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts and impairment of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     Revenue Recognition. In accordance with gaming industry practice, we recognize gaming revenues as the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Gaming revenues are net of accruals for anticipated payouts of progressive slot jackpots. These anticipated jackpot payments are reflected as current liabilities on our balance sheets. Net slot win represents all amounts played in the slot machines reduced by the winnings paid out. Table games net win represents the difference between table game wins and losses. The table games historical win percentage is reasonably predictable over time, but may vary considerably during shorter periods. Revenues from food, beverage, rooms, recreation, retail and other are recognized at the time the related service or sale is completed. Player reward redemptions for food and beverage, hotel rooms and other items are included in gross revenue at full retail value.

Promotional Allowances IMG Resort and Casino periodically rewards rooms and other promotions, including Apache Spirit Club points and gift certificates, to its customers. The retail value of these player rebates are recognized by IMG Resort and Casino as a reduction from gross revenue. The total vouchers recognized by IMG Resort and Casino were approximately $1,770,000, $2,770,000 and $4,490,000 for the years ended April 30, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.
     The Casino’s Apache Spirit Club allows customers to earn “points” based on the volume of their gaming activity. These points are redeemable for certain services or merchandise. Points are accrued based upon their historical redemption rate multiplied by the cash value or the cost of providing the applicable complimentary services. The player’s club point’s liability is included in accrued expenses and totaled $1,028,000 at April 30, 2006 and $1,076,713 at April 30, 2007.
Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-14, Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives requires that discounts which result in a reduction in or refund of the selling price of a product or service in a single exchange transaction be recorded as a reduction of revenues. IMG Resort and Casino adopted EITF 00-14 on April 30, 2001. IMG Resort and Casino’s accounting policy related to free or discounted food and beverage and other services already complies with EITF 00-14, and those free or discounted services are generally deducted from gross revenues as “promotional allowances.” In January 2001, the EITF reached a consensus on certain issues related to Issue No. 00-22, Accounting for “Points” and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Reproduces, or Services to be delivered in the future. Effective January 1, 2001, IMG Resort and Casino, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries adopted EITF 00-22, which requires that cash or equivalent amounts provided or returned to customers as part of a transaction not be shown as an expense, but instead as an offset to the related revenue.
     Classification of Departmental Costs. Gaming direct costs are comprised of all costs of the Resorts’ gaming operation, including labor costs for casino-based supply costs, certain (including costs in operating our players’ clubs) and other direct operating costs of the casinos. Food and beverage direct costs are comprised of all costs of the Resorts’ food and beverage operations, including labor costs for personnel employed by the Resorts’ restaurants and food and beverage, supply costs for all food and beverages served in the casinos or sold in the Resorts’ restaurants and other food outlets and other expenses including other direct operating expenses related to these activities. General and administrative direct costs are comprised of administrative expenses at our headquarters, including the salaries of corporate officers, accounting, finance, legal and other professional expense and occupancy, facilities, utility costs and other indirect costs not included in the direct costs of our operating departments.
     Capitalization of Interest. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34, “Capitalization of Interest Cost” or SFAS 34, interest cost associated with major development and construction projects is capitalized as part of the cost of the project. Interest is capitalized on amounts expended on the Resort using the weighted-average cost of our outstanding borrowings. Capitalization of interest started with the construction of the Resort beginning in January 2004 and ended with the completion of the Resort in March 2005. Interest capitalized on the Resort totaled $11.9 for fiscal year ended April 30, 2005. No interest has been capitalized by the resort for years 2006 and 2007.
     Deferred Financing Costs. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of IMG Resort and Casino financing are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the stated maturity of the debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs totaled approximately $6.1 million as of April 30, 2007.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
     Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”), which established the approach to be used in the determination of impairment.
     Under the provisions of SFAS 144, a long-lived asset to be abandoned is disposed of when it ceases to be used. If an entity commits to a plan to abandon a long-lived asset before the end of its previously estimated useful life, depreciation estimates shall be revised to reflect the use of the asset over its shortened useful life.

     Pre-Opening Costs and Expenses. There were no current pre-opening costs and expenses for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2006 and 2007. Previous expenses of $8.3 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, were attributable to segregating primarily general and administrative expenses while the new Resort was being constructed.
     Depreciation. Depreciation increased $10.5 million to $17.8 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 from $7.3 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005. The increase was primarily the result of opening the Resort in March 2005, with the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 reflecting a full year of depreciation expense. In addition to the Resort, other equipment was put into service at the Travel Center as well as Ski Apache.
     Income from Operations. Income from Operations decreased $7.4 million, or 57.7%, to $5.5 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 from $12.9 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in general and administrative, marketing, food and beverage and depreciation expenses associated with the opening of the Resort, in addition to increases in inventory reserves, consulting and audit fees associated with improvements in disclosure, controls, and accruing for settlement of unpaid federal and state withholding tax.
     Other Income (Expenses). Other non-operating expenses increased $15.9 million to $26.7 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 from $10.8 million for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to expensing interest on the $200 million senior notes issued in November 2003, which had previously been partially capitalized during the construction period. The fiscal year ended April 30, 2006 reflects the first fiscal year of bond interest charges expensed and none capitalized.
     Other income (expenses) is comprised of interest income and other income minus interest expense and other expenses, including other reserves for under utilized assets.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     As of April 30, 2007 and April 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents (net of amounts in restricted accounts) of $16.9 million and $16.8 million, respectively. Our principal sources of liquidity for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 were cash from operating activities of $10.6 million, offset by approximately $1.5 million used in investing and $8.9 million used in financing activities.
     Cash provided in operating activities was $10.6 million, a $12.1 million improvement over the previous year. The majority of the income was a result of the improved sales and profitability at Ski Apache and high operating costs at the beginning of the 2006 fiscal year.
     Cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 was $1.5 million, which consisted of the purchase of property, plant and equipment and change in construction payables. This represents a decrease of $19.1 million from the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, during which we completed the construction of our new Resort.
     Cash used by financing activities for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 was $8.9 million, consisting of $18.2 million of cash released from our restricted accounts pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Notes. During the fiscal year 2007, $8.0 million was for Tribal government service and $14.9 was paid as a return of construction reserves. The remaining $4.1 million was used to pay down the Resort’s long term note obligations.
     We believe that existing cash balances and operating cash flows and permitted borrowings will provide adequate funds for our working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, including equipment and furnishings for the Resort and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, our ability to fund our operations, make planned capital expenditures, and make scheduled payments depends on our future operating performance and success in seeking to increase operating efficiencies and reduce operating expenses, which are subject to economic, financial, business and other conditions, some of which are beyond our control. Additionally, our ability to incur additional indebtedness is limited under the terms of the indenture governing the Notes. If our expected operating performance or success in increasing operating efficiencies and reducing operating expenses does not meet management expectations, we may need to arrange for additional sources of funding in the form of permitted borrowings under our indenture or contributions from the Tribe, which sources of funding cannot be assured.
     On Dec. 15, 2006, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services revised its outlook on Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino (IMG) to developing from negative. At the same time, Standard & Poor’s affirmed its ratings on the company, including its ‘B-’ issuer credit and senior secured debt ratings. Per S&P, credit measures, adjusted for non-recurring charges, have improved meaningfully with debt to EBITDA and EBITDA coverage of interest expense having improved to 6.0x and 1.4x, respectively, for the 12 months

ended Oct. 31, 2006, from 7.9x and 1.0x, respectively, for the 12 months of its fiscal year ended April 30, 2006. The outlook revision recognizes the improved operating performance, which if sustained could result in ratings upside potential. It also incorporates a history of inconsistent earnings and continued material weaknesses that were disclosed in IMG’s form 10Q for the period ended Oct. 31, 2006.
     On August 21, 2006, Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) downgraded our Notes from ‘B’ to ‘B-’, including its issuer rating from ‘B’ to ‘B-’, with an outlook of negative. Key factors stated by S&P in its downgrade decision include 1) disappointing earnings for the fourth quarter ended April 30, 2006, 2) a tight liquidity position, and 3) reported internal control weaknesses. Other weaknesses include 1) remoteness of its market, 2) single market operator, 3) small cash flow base, 4) high debt levels, 5) weak credit measures, and 6) challenges associated with operating a larger resort facility. The ratings positively reflected our limited competition in southern New Mexico. We do not believe that these rating actions have had or will have a significant impact on our operations. We regularly provide financial information to rating agencies to both maintain and enhance existing ratings. We are in compliance with all covenants or other requirements set forth in our credit agreements. Further, we do not have any rating downgrade triggers that would automatically accelerate the maturity dates of any debt.
Description of Indebtedness
The Notes
     On November 3, 2003, we issued $200.0 million senior notes, with fixed interest payable at a rate of 12% per annum. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15. The notes mature on November 15, 2010. As of April 30, 2007 accrued interest payable on the Notes was $11.2 million. The notes are secured until delivery of a final certificate of completion of the IMG Resort and Casino by first priority security interests in the following accounts:
    an interest reserve account, which was funded at the time the notes were sold with approximately $36.4 million, which, together with interest earned thereon, was used to make the first three (3) interest payments on the notes. As of April 30, 2007, the balance in the interest reserve account was $0;
 
    a construction disbursement account, which was funded at the time the Notes were sold with approximately $94.3 million and was used to fund completion of the Resort. As of April 30, 2007, the balance in the construction disbursement account was $0;
 
    a construction reserve account, which was funded at the time the Notes were sold with approximately $53.6 million and was to be used to (i) fund contingencies related to the construction of the Resort and (ii) fund a resolution relating to a disagreement over the Tribe’s prior gaming compact. As of April 30, 2007, the balance in the construction reserve account was $0 million; and
 
    a retainage account. As of April 30, 2007, the balance the construction retainage accounts was $0 million.
     The Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of our future indebtedness or other obligations that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes. In addition, the Notes rank equal in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and other obligations that are not, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes. Each of our wholly-owned subsidiaries are guarantors of the Notes.
Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness
     In general, we are restricted in connection with the issuance of the Notes and the related Indenture, that we would not incur any indebtedness if and to the extent the indebtedness would appear as a liability upon our balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP; provided however, we may incur indebtedness if certain financial ratios meet certain criteria. Furthermore, we agreed that we would not incur any indebtedness that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to our other indebtedness unless such indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes. Our ability to create liens (other than certain permitted liens) upon any of our property or assets, or any proceeds, income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom are restricted unless payments due under the Indenture and the Notes are secured on an equal and ratable basis with (or, in the case of subordinated indebtedness, senior thereto, with the same relative priority that the Notes shall have with respect to such subordinated indebtedness) the obligation so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a lien. Accordingly, our ability to incur additional debt financing is severely limited.

General Indebtedness
     The Tribe, for the benefit of the Inn of the Mountain Gods, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IMG Resort and Casino, executed a promissory note dated September 1, 1982, which we refer to as the BIA Note in favor of the Department of Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs in the amount of approximately $3.5 million. The BIA Note accrues interest at the rate of 8.5% per annum payable annually from the date of the BIA Note until paid in full on September 1, 2011. As of April 30, 2007, there is approximately $1.2 million outstanding on the BIA Note.
Credit Facility
     On June 15, 2005, we entered into a $15.0 million credit facility with Key Equipment Finance, a Division of Key Corporate Capital Inc. The five (5) fixed rate loans are fully amortizable over five years and bear an interest rate from 7.55% to 8.18%. Proceeds from the loan were used to fund furniture, fixtures and equipment purchases for the Resort. As of April 30, 2007, approximately $10.3 million remains outstanding.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     As of April 30, 2007, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements that affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operation. We have certain contractual obligations including long-term debt, operating leases and employment contracts.
     Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations
     The following table sets forth, as of April 30, 2007, our scheduled principal, interest and other contractual annual cash obligations due by us for each of the periods indicated below (Dollars in thousands):

     A special use permit was obtained from the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service for Ski Apache’s use of 80 acres of land in Lincoln National Forest. The permit is dated April 23, 1985, and has a term of 30 years with a yearly fee based on revenue and gross fixed assets. Occupancy fee for the years ended April 30, 2005, 2006 and 2007 totaled approximately $137,300, $137,200 and $92,000 respectively.
Impact of Inflation
     Absent changes in competitive and economic conditions or in specific prices affecting the industry, we do not expect that inflation will have a significant impact on our operations. Changes in specific prices, such as fuel and transportation prices, relative to the general rate of inflation may have a material adverse effect on the hotel and casino industry in general.
Regulation and Taxes
     We are subject to extensive regulation by the Mescalero Apache Tribal Gaming Commission, the NIGC and, to a lesser extent, the New Mexico Gaming Control Board. Changes in applicable laws or regulations could have a significant impact on our operations. We are unincorporated Tribal enterprises, directly or indirectly owned by the Tribe, a federally recognized Indian tribe, and are located on reservation land held in trust by the United States of America; therefore, we were not subject to federal or state income taxes for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2005, 2006 or 2007 , nor is it anticipated we will be subject to such taxes for the foreseeable future. Various efforts have been made in the U.S. Congress over the past several years to enact legislation that would subject the income of tribal business entities, such as us, to federal income tax. Although no such legislation has been enacted, similar legislation could be passed in the future. A change in our non-taxable status could have a material adverse affect on our cash flows from operations.
New Accounting Pronouncements

Table of Contents

     In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 provides a new single authoritative definition of fair value and provides enhanced guidance for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and requires additional disclosures related to the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company as of May 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial statements.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 provides that companies may elect to measure specified financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. The election, called the “fair value option,” will enable some companies to reduce the variability in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. Companies may elect fair-value measurement when an eligible asset or liability is initially recognized or when an event, such as a business combination, triggers a new basis of accounting for that asset or liability. The election is irrevocable for every contract chosen to be measured at fair value and must be applied to an entire contract, not to only specified risks, specific cash flows, or portions of that contract. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Retrospective application is not allowed. Companies may adopt SFAS 159 as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007 if the choice to adopt early is made after SFAS 159 has been issued and within 120 days of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and the entity has not issued GAAP financial statements for any interim period of the fiscal year that includes the early adoption date. Companies are permitted to elect fair-value measurement for any eligible item within SFAS 159’s scope at the date they initially adopt SFAS 159. The adjustment to reflect the difference between the fair value and the current carrying amount of the assets and liabilities for which a company elects fair-value measurement is reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings upon adoption. Companies that adopt SFAS 159 early must also adopt all of SFAS 157’s requirements at the early adoption date. The company is assessing the impact of adopting SFAS 159 and currently do not believe the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term variable rate debt. As of April 30, 2007, we had no variable rate debt outstanding.
     Management has and will continue to limit our exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a conservative ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt to total debt such that variable rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level and fixing certain long-term variable rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps or interest rate caps with appropriately matching maturities.
     As of April 30, 2007, we held no derivative instruments.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
     The financial statements required pursuant to this item are included in Part IV of this report and begin on page F-1. The supplementary financial information required by this item is included in “Item 6. Selected Financial Data.”
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined in SEC regulations as controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s

management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these controls were effective as of April 30, 2007. A control system cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
     Current System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
     Because of its inherent limitations, Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
     Remediation of Previously Disclosed Material Weakness. We have previously reported that there were material weaknesses in our internal controls which may have prevented us form being able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud which could harm our business and operating results. As was noted in our previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission material weaknesses had been identified and were being remedied. Specifically, the material weaknesses identified were:
    our system of entering transactions into our general and subsidiary ledgers, including the time for entering transactions;
 
    timely and effective documentation of transactions to be entered into our accounting system;
 
    timely reconciliation of general ledger to appropriate underlying subsidiary records;
 
    implementation of an appropriate checks and balances system with respect to documentation and recording of transactions;
 
    provision of adequate education to our finance staff with respect to our accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures; and
 
    maintenance of a comprehensive written accounting policies and procedures manual.
     At the direction of our audit committee, we have implemented permanent changes in an effort to enhance our internal controls in response to management’s conclusions (the “Permanent Changes”). The Permanent Changes include:
    improved system for documentation and verification of transactions;
 
    improved system of entering transaction into general and subsidiary ledgers in a timely and complete manner;
 
    implementing improved and additional systems relating to account reconciliation and transaction reporting, including the review, analysis and reconciliation of ledger details and timely recording of transactions;
 
    developing a comprehensive policies and procedures manual that is accessible and understood by all members of our finance staff;
 
    specifically defining and documenting the responsibilities of our financial reporting personnel;

25


Table of Contents

    improved training of our financial reporting personnel; and
 
    retaining Protiviti, Inc., an independent advisory firm, to assist in evaluating our internal controls, including the identification, documentation and testing of significant controls, policies and procedures.
     As of the date of this Report, IMGRC has implemented the changes identified above. In order to prepare this Report, we continued to utilize interim alternative and additional control measures (the “Interim Measures”) we adopted during the period covered by this Report in connection with filing our Prior Report in addition to our permanent internal control measures to ensure that our financial statements, and other financial information included in this Report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, as of, and for, the periods presented in this Report. These Interim Measures include, but are not limited to:
    implementation of a focused and detailed review and cross-checking of prior financial statements by internal audit personnel, supervised and cross-checked by senior management, outside advisors and our audit committee;
 
    increase in number of internal and external accounting and financial personnel;
 
    frequent reviews and cross-checking of the data used to create this Report by senior management, internal audit personnel and consultants;
 
    extensive research, review, cross-checking and documentation of material transactions with focus on reporting for revenue recognition, cash transactions and balances, receivables, fixed assets, payroll, inventory, payables and accrued expenses, and payments to affiliates; and
 
    utilization of existing financial management software, reports for ledger and sub-ledger details for financial transactions.
     Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within IMG Resort and Casino have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
     Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the period covered by this Report on Form 10-K, we continued to implement the Interim Measures, and successfully implemented the permanent changes to our internal controls, as described above.
     During the period covered by this Report on Form 10-K, other than with respect to implementing the Permanent Measures and continued utilization of the Interim Measures, described above, there were significant changes in the form of improvements and strengthening, in our internal controls or in other factors that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal controls.
     These changes included, but are not limited to:
    Hiring of experienced, trained, professionals in both Accounting and IT. These new professionals successfully implemented permanent controls, in addition to training of other staff in improved job performance and financial controls.
 
    Process mapping of all financial control processes and procedures in place. During this process, job duties and descriptions were revised, duties segregated, additional training conducted, review and sign-off with follow-up reporting implemented.
 
    Instituted rigorous, de-centralized, monthly financial close process, that included:
    10 working day close cycle, documented daily tasks, reviews, and follow-up.
 
    Monthly reconciliation of balance sheet accounts
 
    Cross training of close cycle functions
 
    De-centralized departmental expense review process. Monthly departmental expense detail reports and

26


Table of Contents

                         comparisons to detailed, line-item budgets are distributed and reviewed within the 10 day close cycle.
    Implemented closed purchase order system requiring written approvals.
 
    Strengthened inventory control by creating centralized stores to distribute common product to all outlets. Resulting in reduced inventory on hand in the central stores location as outlet ordering improved to JIT needs. Implemented an item master list, that restricts the ability to add new items without senior management review and written authorization.
 
    Weekly, distributed and review of revenue numbers by division along with labor expenses and a discussion and review of the next 10 days of bookings, group visits, special events to properly plan labor and inventory needs. These weekly reports are tracked and compared to the previous years results as well as the current year budget.
 
    Improved the organization’s internal control compliance by incorporating all team members in the implementation and testing of controls, policies and procedures.
 
    Emphasizing cross training in all departments at all levels.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Compensation Objectives
The Company’s success depends on the expertise, talent, experience and long-term commitment of the Company’s employees, especially its named executives. The Company’s compensation plan is intended to achieve the following objectives:
    To attract, retain, motivate and reward key employees to drive the successful implementation of the Company’s current and long-term financial and operating goals;
 
    To establish appropriate incentives for management and employees that are consistent with the Company’s culture and values; and
 
    To provide an annual compensation program that rewards both Company and individual performance with the proper balance between salary, and performance-based incentives.
Our named executives consist of our Chief Operating Officer (our COO) and our Chief Financial Officer (our CFO). Most of our compensation elements address one or more of our performance, alignment and retention objectives. These elements consist of base salary and performance oriented awards. The Company believes that this creates an environment that allows it to achieve its objectives and maximize the achievement of our compensation goals.
Compensation of officers is established after a review of data for executives in similar positions in comparable companies, mostly companies in the hospitality and gaming fields. When reviewing individual compensation levels, the Company considers individual and corporate performance, levels of responsibility, and competitive pay practices. These factors vary from individual to individual and other subjective features are also considered such as the individual’s experience.

Roles in Establishing Executive Officers Compensation
Our executive officers compensation is set by our entire Management Board and not by a compensation committee. To the extent that an executive officer is a member of the board, they recuse themselves from discussion or do not participate in compensation decisions that relate to them. The Management Board relies on input from the COO in connection with the CFO’s position and compensation. The Management Board determines the COO’s position and compensation without the input of any other executive officer.
Factors in Determining Compensation
Employment Agreements. The Company entered into an employment agreement with the COO on November 10, 2006 and with the CFO on September 12, 2005. We entered into the employment agreements primarily to ensure the long-term retention of these executive officers. The employment agreements determine the annual base salary and severance packages available to these executive officers.
Performance. The amount of compensation for each named executive reflects their superior management experience and continued high level of performance over a long period of time. The key elements of our compensation program that award performance include a cash incentive that is based on the achievement of set levels of performance goals for the Company. We do not generally adhere to specific formulas for awarding cash performance incentives. At the creation of the employment contract, we set specific performance thresholds that form the basis of the payment of cash incentives.
Elements of Compensation
Base Annual Compensation. The Company believes that the base salary levels of the Company’s executive officers are reasonably related to the base salary levels of executive officers of comparable companies in the gaming and hospitality fields and the geographical region in which the Company is located. The base salary levels were not objectively determined with a formula but instead reflect levels that the Company concluded were appropriate based upon our general experience. The Company believes that the current base salary levels of the Company’s executive officers take into account the unique talents and experience of our executive officers. Base salaries are adjusted annually for cost of living adjustments. Base salaries are reviewed at the end of the contract period and increases in base salary takes into account such factors as individual past performance, changes in responsibilities, and changes in pay levels of companies deemed comparable to us.
Severance Benefits. We believe that companies should provide reasonable severance benefits to its employees when leaving the company due to a change in control or without cause. The amount of each executive’s severance is determined by the terms of each of their respective employment agreements.
Other Compensation. In addition to the compensation described above, the Company also provides the executive officers with other benefits to assist the Company in remaining competitive in the marketplace and to encourage executive officers to remain with the Company. The Company provides medical and other group insurance coverage generally made available to all of our full time employees.
Retirement Benefits. The executive officers may elect to participate in retirement plan benefits of our 401(K) plan generally available to all of our full time employees. The Company does not make any 401(K) contributions on behalf of the executive officers.
Pension Benefits. The Company does not have a benefit pension plan.
Deferred Compensation. The Company has neither a non-qualified defined contribution plan nor any other non-qualified deferred compensation plans.
Summary Compensation Table
     The following table sets forth, as to the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer during fiscal year 2007 (referred to as the named executive officers), information concerning all compensation paid for services to us in all capacities for the year ended April 30, 2007 indicated below.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Distributions to the Tribe with Other Payments
     Distributions to the Tribe were $8.0 million in government service payments and $14.9 million in return of construction reserve for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. We make distributions to the Tribe under the terms of an annual Tribal budget resolution passed at the discretion of the Tribal Council. We intend to continue to make distributions to the Tribe subject to the restrictions set forth in the indenture, which generally provide we can make no distributions unless we meet certain debt leverage tests, other than the following: (a) $5.0 million in aggregate at any one time, (b) $8.0 million a year for government services and (c) amounts to fund a resolution of the Tribe’s dispute with the State of New Mexico regarding the 1997 Compact. IMG Resort and Casino’s reduced government service distribution to the Tribe in 2006 was due to its reduced cash on hand as a result of its meeting its debt service from operations.
Tribal Taxes
     The Tribal Code provides for the imposition of a gross receipts tax on the sale of food, beverages, retail sales and services and the rental of rooms on the Mescalero Reservation. The rate of the tax is comparable to the cumulative state and local sales or use tax imposed on identical transactions taking place outside the reservation and within the State of New Mexico. This tax applies to sales at our current operations and will apply to sales on future operations. IMG Resort and Casino collects and remits the gross receipts tax to the Tribe on a monthly basis.
     The Tribal Code also provides for the collection of an excise tax on gasoline sold at retail on the Mescalero Reservation. The rate of the tax is equivalent to the same tax imposed by the State of New Mexico on identical transactions taking place outside the reservation and within the State of New Mexico. IMG Resort and Casino collects and remits the excise tax to the Tribe on a monthly basis.
     The Tribal Code also provides for the imposition of a special assessment school tax on the resort enterprises to provide a source of funds to service debt incurred to construct the Tribe’s K-12 School. The rate of the tax, for each month, is equal to the difference between $200,000 and all taxes imposed on or collected by and remitted by the resort enterprises to the Tribe for that month. If the total taxes imposed on us by the Tribe for any month is greater than $200,000, then the special assessment tax for that month is zero.
Shared Services and Cost Allocations
     In connection with the issuance of the original notes, IMG Resort and Casino and the Tribe entered into a service and cost allocation agreement, provides that the Tribe or its enterprises will continue to provide IMG Resort and Casino and its resort enterprises the following services in accordance with past practice: (i) insurance; (ii) telecommunications; (iii) propane; and (iv) gaming regulation, and that IMG Resort and Casino and its resort enterprises will pay, on behalf of the Tribe, for (a) revenue sharing and regulatory fee obligations required under the 1997 Compact or any new compact, (b) federal regulatory fees required by IGRA, (c) an amount equal to the monthly payments required under the BIA Note and (d) amounts for certain other miscellaneous liabilities. IMG reimburses the Tribe for its direct costs as billed by the third party.
Employee Benefits Cost Allocations
In connection with the issuance of the original notes, IMG Resort and Casino and the Tribe entered into an employee benefits cost allocation agreement, which provides that the Tribe will continue to provide IMG Resort and Casino and its resort enterprises with certain employee benefits in accordance with past practice, including group health benefits, worker’s compensation insurance, disability insurance, unemployment benefits and pension benefits. IMG Resort and Casino reimburses the Tribe for its employees’ direct costs for coverage as billed by the third party.
The Tribe provides employee benefits to IMG Resort and Casino, which reimburses the Tribe for all costs and expenses associated with this insurance. IMG Resort and Casino paid the Tribe approximately $1.4 million, $2.0 million, $3.3 million for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2005, 2006 and 2007.

The Tribe sponsors a federally compliant 401(k) savings plan, which covers substantially all employees who worked for IMG Resort and Casino for at least 120 days and attained 18 years of age.

The first payroll deduction and match began on January 12, 2007.
ATM Fees
     IMG Resort and Casino does not receive revenues from the use by our customers of the ATM machines provided at our business locations. Pursuant to agreements with third party ATM providers, the Tribe receives a portion of the transaction fees paid by ATM users. The Tribe will continue to receive payments related to the ATM services provided in our new facilities under similar arrangements, and we will receive no revenue from these services, for the remaining of the current contract which expires December 31, 2008.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal controls over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino and subsidiaries as of April 30, 2006 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino and subsidiaries are unincorporated enterprises of the Mescalero Apache Tribe and are not separate legal entities, These financial statements reflect the financial position of the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino and subsidiaries and the results of their operation and their cash flows and do not purport to represent the financial position and activity of the Mescalero Apache Tribe as a whole.

INN OF THE MOUNTAIN GODS RESORT AND CASINO AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2005, 2006 and 2007
NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting Entity and Operations
The Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino (the “IMG Resort and Casino”), an unincorporated enterprise of the Mescalero Apache Tribe (the “Tribe”), was established on April 30, 2003 for the purpose of managing all resort enterprises of the Tribe including activities of IMG Resort and Casino and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Casino Apache, Casino Apache Travel Center, Inn of the Mountain Gods and Ski Apache (collectively the “Resorts”). Effective April 30, 2003, the Tribe contributed the Resorts to the IMG Resort and Casino. Prior to such contribution to IMG Resort and Casino, the Resorts operated as separate, unincorporated enterprises of the Tribe. Due to common control of the Resorts and IMG Resort and Casino, the contribution was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. The Tribe is the sole owner of the IMG Resort and Casino. The IMG Resort and Casino is a separate legal entity from the Tribe and is managed by a separate management board.
Inn of the Mountain Gods (the “Casino”) offers Class III gaming as defined by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, on the tribal land in Mescalero, New Mexico. The Casino Apache Travel Center (the “Travel Center”), which opened for business on May 22, 2003, also offers Class III gaming as defined by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, on tribal land in Mescalero. The Inn of the Mountain Gods (the “Inn”) operated a 273-room resort hotel located on the Tribe’s reservation in Mescalero. The resort hotel has been demolished as of April 30, 2003 and the construction of a new resort hotel and casino (the “Resort Project”) on the same site was opened for commercial business on March 15, 2005. Ski Apache operates a ski resort within the Tribe’s reservation in Mescalero and on the U.S. Forest Service land. The IMG Resort and Casino’s activities primarily support the development and management efforts related to the new resorts.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the IMG Resort and Casino and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements present only the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the IMG Resort and Casino and subsidiaries and are not intended to present fairly the financial position of the Tribe and the results of its operations and cash flows.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates included in the accompanying financial statements relate to the liability associated with the unredeemed Apache Spirit Club points, estimated lives of depreciable assets, allowances for doubtful accounts and impairment of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand for change drawers and in the vault for daily casino activities and cash on deposit with financial institutions in demand accounts, savings accounts and short-term certificates of deposit. For purposes of the statement of cash flows all cash accounts that are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties are considered to be cash equivalents.

F-7


Table of Contents

Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Restricted cash and cash equivalents includes cash on deposit with financial institutions in demand accounts, savings accounts and short-term certificates of deposit that are subject to withdrawal restrictions (see Note 3).
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists primarily of hotel and other non-gaming receivables. The IMG Resort and Casino maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which is based on management’s estimate of the amount expected to be uncollectible considering historical experience and the information management obtains regarding the creditworthiness of the non-gaming customer. The collectability of these receivables could be affected by future business or economic trends.
Inventories
Inventories consist of food and beverage items, fuel, retail merchandise in the golf and pro shop, ski shop, gift shops and other miscellaneous items, parts and supplies. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.
Deferred Financing Costs
Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Project financing are capitalized and amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method over the stated maturity of the debt, which approximates the effective interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs totaled $7,695,897 as of April 30, 2006 and $6,070,653 as of April 30, 2007. The amortization related to this deferred financing cost was $1,625,244 and $1,625,244 for the years ended April 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are presented at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for additions, improvements and replacements, including interest incurred during construction of new facilities, are capitalized while maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the service lives of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. Equipment sold, or otherwise disposed of, is removed from the accounts with gains or losses on disposal recorded in the statements of operations.
Depreciation and amortization is provided over the estimated service lives of the respective assets, using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives:
     
Non-gaming equipment, furniture and other
  3—15 years
Gaming equipment
  5—7 years
Leasehold and land improvements, lake and golf course
  5—30 years
Buildings, lifts and snowmaking equipment
  10—39 years
     Impairment of Long Lived Assets
Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”), which established the approach to be used in the determination of impairment.
Under the provisions of SFAS 144, a long-lived asset to be abandoned is disposed of when it ceases to be used. If an entity commits to a plan to abandon a long-lived asset before the end of its previously estimated useful life, depreciation estimates shall be revised to reflect the use of the asset over its shortened useful life.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, bank financing facilities and capital lease obligations approximate fair value. The IMG Resort and Casino’s senior notes were approximately $216.0 million at April 30, 2007, based on quoted market prices. The notes are not heavily traded, and price quotes

F-8


Table of Contents

ranged from 109.00 to 107.00 at April 30, 2007.
Contributed Capital
Contributed capital represents contributions from the Tribe and consists of (i) cash to fund certain construction and development of the Resort Project, (ii) forgiveness of debt from the Inn to the Tribe and (iii) allocated pension costs related to the Mescalero Apache Tribe Defined Benefit Plan (see Note 8).
Revenues
In accordance with gaming industry practice, the Casino recognizes casino revenue as the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses. Gaming revenues are net of accruals for anticipated payouts of progressive slot jackpots and table games. Such anticipated jackpot payments are reflected as accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The total accrual for jackpots and progressives was $151,874 and $150,806 at April 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively.
Revenues from food and beverage, rooms, recreation and other are recognized at the time the related service or sale is completed. Revenues include the retail value of food and beverages and other items which are provided to customers on a reward basis.
Promotional Allowances
IMG Resort and Casino periodically rewards rooms and other promotions, including Apache Spirit Club points and gift certificates, to its customers. The retail value of these player rebates are recognized by IMG Resort and Casino as a reduction from gross revenue. The total vouchers recognized by IMG Resort and Casino were approximately $1,770,000, $2,770,000 and $4,490,000 for the years ended April 30, 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.
The Casino’s Apache Spirit Club allows customers to earn “points” based on the volume of their gaming activity. These points are redeemable for certain complimentary services or merchandise. Points are accrued based upon their historical redemption rate multiplied by the cash value or the cost of providing the applicable complimentary services. The player’s club point’s liability is included in accrued expenses and totaled $1,028,000 at April 30, 2006 and $1,076,713 at April 30, 2007.
Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-14, Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives requires that discounts which result in a reduction in or refund of the selling price of a product or service in a single exchange transaction be recorded as a reduction of revenues. IMG Resort and Casino adopted EITF 00-14 on April 30, 2001. IMG Resort and Casino’s accounting policy related to free or discounted food and beverage and other services already complies with EITF 00-14, and those free or discounted services are generally deducted from gross revenues as “promotional allowances.” In January 2001, the EITF reached a consensus on certain issues related to Issue No. 00-22, Accounting for “Points” and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Reproduces, or Services to be delivered in the future. Effective January 1, 2001, IMG Resort and Casino, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries adopted EITF 00-22, which requires that cash or equivalent amounts provided or returned to customers as part of a transaction not be shown as an expense, but instead as an offset to the related revenue.
The estimated cost of providing such complimentary allowances, as they relate to the all operations, was included in casino expenses as follows:

Tribal Taxes

F-9


Table of Contents

The Resorts are subject to tribal taxes as long as the enterprises are not subject to New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax. Ski Apache is subject to New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax. A tribal tax charge of 10.75% of room revenue, 6.75% of food and beverage revenue, and 6.5% of other revenue is accrued monthly and is payable to the Tribe. The Resorts have recorded approximately $200,000 per month Tribal taxes for both 2006 and 2007.
Classification of Departmental Costs.
Gaming direct costs are comprised of all costs of the Resorts’ gaming operation, including labor costs for casino-based supply costs, certain (including costs in operating our players’ clubs) and other direct operating costs of the casinos. Food and beverage direct costs are comprised of all costs of the Resorts’ food and beverage operations, including labor costs for personnel employed by the Resorts’ restaurants and food and beverage, supply costs for all food and beverages served in the casinos or sold in the Resorts’ restaurants and other food outlets and other expenses including other direct operating expenses related to these activities.

Capitalization of Interest.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 34, “Capitalization of Interest Cost” or SFAS 34, interest cost associated with major development and construction projects is capitalized as part of the cost of the project. Interest is capitalized on amounts expended on the resort using the weighted-average cost of our outstanding borrowings. Capitalization of interest started with the construction of the resort beginning in January 2004 and ended with the completion of the Resort in March 2005. Interest capitalized on the Resort totaled $11.9 million for the fiscal year 2005 and no Interest has been capitalized by the Resort for the fiscal ended years 2006 and 2007.
Income Taxes
As an unincorporated enterprise of the Tribe, the IMG Resort and Casino and the Resorts are exempt from federal and state income taxes.
New Accounting Pronouncements
     In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 provides a new single authoritative definition of fair value and provides enhanced guidance for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and requires additional disclosures related to the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company as of May 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of SFAS 157 on its consolidated financial statements.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 provides that companies may elect to measure specified financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. The election, called the “fair value option,” will enable some companies to reduce the variability in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. Companies may elect fair-value measurement when an eligible asset or liability is initially recognized or when an event, such as a business combination, triggers a new basis of accounting for that asset or liability. The election is irrevocable for every contract chosen to be measured at fair value and must be applied to an entire contract, not to only specified risks, specific cash flows, or portions of that contract. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of a company’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Retrospective application is not allowed. Companies may adopt SFAS 159 as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007 if the choice to adopt early is made after SFAS 159 has been issued and within 120 days of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and the entity has not issued GAAP financial statements for any interim period of the fiscal year that includes the early adoption date. Companies are permitted to elect fair-value measurement for any eligible item within SFAS 159’s scope at the date they initially adopt SFAS 159. The adjustment to reflect the difference between the fair value and the current carrying amount of the assets and liabilities for which a company elects fair-value measurement is reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings upon adoption. Companies that adopt SFAS 159 early must also adopt all of SFAS 157’s requirements at the early adoption date. The company is assessing the impact of adopting SFAS 159 and currently do not believe the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 — ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
IMG Resort and Casino maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments, which results in bad debt expense.

If the financial condition of non-gaming customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, IMG Resort and Casino may increase the allowance. For banquet functions and room revenue, the allowance for bad debt consists of approximately 50% of all receivables in excess of 60 days past due and 100% of all receivables in excess of 90 days past due.

NOTE 7 — GAMING REVENUE SHARING AND REGULATORY FEES
The Tribe regulates IMG Resort and Casino’s gaming activities through the Mescalero Apache Tribe Gaming Regulatory Commission, an agency of the Tribe (the “Commission”). The Commission reports directly to the Tribal Council. A regulatory fee is paid to the Tribe as reimbursement for the cost of regulating the gaming activities. IMG Resort and Casino also pays a federal regulatory fee. All tribal and federal regulatory fees due and payable have been properly accrued for the State of New Mexico Gaming Commission of $225,000.
On August 29, 1997, the Tribe and the State of New Mexico (the “State”) entered into a Tribal-State Compact (the “Compact”) to govern gaming on the Mescalero Apache Reservation. The terms of the Compact subject the Casino to various regulatory fees and revenues sharing payable to the State. Among the provisions of the Compact are requirements for quarterly revenues sharing payments consisting of 16% of the net win from video gaming and quarterly regulatory fees assessed on the number of gaming facilities, the number of gaming machines and the number of gaming tables and other devices. The Tribe has challenged the legality of these fee arrangements, claiming them to be an illegal tax on Indian gaming under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
On April 20, 2004, the Tribe and the State of New Mexico entered into a settlement agreement which resolved all of their disputes regarding the 1997 Compact. Under the settlement agreement, the State of New Mexico and the Tribe agreed that they would enter into a new gaming compact, the 2001 Compact, and that the Tribe would pay the State of New Mexico $25.0 million in full settlement of all revenue sharing and regulatory fees payable under the 1997 Compact as well as all revenue sharing fees payable under the 2001 Compact through March 2005. On April 20, 2004, the IMG Resort and Casino paid an initial payment of $2.0 million pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement.
The 2001 Compact provides for a revenue sharing amount equal to 8% of “net win” from gaming machines, payable no later than 25 days after the last day of each calendar quarter and an annual regulatory fee of $100,000, paid in quarterly installments of $25,000 on the first day of each calendar quarter. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, the IMG Resort and Casino began incurring revenue sharing payments to the State of New Mexico at the rate of 8% of “net win” pursuant to the 2001 Compact in March 2005, with the first revenue sharing payment under the 2001 Compact due in June 2005. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, the IMG Resort and Casino began incurring regulatory fees, at the rate of $100,000 per year, from the date the approval of the 2001 Compact is published in the Federal Register with the first payment for regulatory fees under the 2001 Compact due on the first day of the first full calendar quarter thereafter. On June 1, 2004, the Tribe and the State of New Mexico entered into the 2001 Compact. On June 22, 2004, the Department of Interior approved the 2001 Compact. The IMG Resort and Casino made the remaining $23.0 million payment required under the settlement agreement in August 2004. As a result of the settlement with the State, expense and the liability for accrued revenue sharing and regulatory fees has been reduced. The 2007 liability is cleared every three months with the quarterly payment to the state.

Aggregate loss limit for policy year (currently July through June) is $1,058,000. This amount is in total for all Tribal entities aggregated which includes the IMGR&C components.
The Tribe maintains worker’s compensation insurance coverage under a retrospective rated policy whereby premiums are accrued based on the loss experience of the Tribe and its various enterprises. The IMG Resort and Casino’s and the Resorts’ employees are covered under this plan. Under this policy, premiums may be adjusted at the end of the coverage period based on loss experience for the coverage period.

NOTE 13 — CONSOLIDATING INFORMATION
In connection with IMG Resort and Casino’s issuance in November 2003 of $200,000,000 of 12% senior notes, IMG Resort and Casino and the Resorts (the “wholly-owned Guarantors”) have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the 12% senior notes. These guarantees are secured only until the completion of the Resort Project and thereafter unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness outstanding and any other indebtedness permitted to be incurred by IMG Resort and Casino under the terms of the indenture agreement for the 12% senior subordinated notes. A final certificate of completion and acceptance has not been issued pending the successful completion of identified incomplete items.
Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the following consolidating information is for IMG Resort and Casino and the wholly owned Guarantors of the 12% senior notes. This consolidating financial information has been prepared from the books and records maintained by IMG Resort and Casino and the wholly-owned Guarantors. The consolidating financial information may not necessarily be indicative of results of operations or financial position had the wholly owned Guarantors operated as independent entities. The separate financial statements of the wholly-owned Guarantors are not presented because management has determined they would not be material to investors. The Resorts are wholly owned subsidiaries of IMG Resort and Casino.

Exhibit 10.5
EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
     This Employment Agreement (“Agreement”), including the attached Exhibit “A,” is entered into between the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino, a Mescalero Apache Tribal enterprise, having offices at 287 Carrizo Canyon Road, Mescalero, New Mexico 88340 (“Employer”), and Brian D. Parrish, an individual currently residing at 125 Mira Monte Road, P.O. Box 2072, Alto, New Mexico 88312 (“Employee”), to be effective as of September 12, 2005 (the “Effective Date”).
WITNESSETH
     WHEREAS, Employer desires to employ Employee in the position set forth on Exhibit “A” and under the terms and conditions set forth in this Employment Agreement.
     WHEREAS, Employee is willing to accept employment with Employer under the terms and conditions set forth in this Employment Agreement; and
     NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, and obligations contained herein, Employer and Employee agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1: EMPLOYMENT AND DUTIES:
     1.1 Employer agrees to employ Employee, and Employee agrees to be employed by Employer, beginning as of the Effective Date and continuing until the date set forth on Exhibit “A” (the “Term”), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
     1.2 Employee initially shall be employed in the position set forth on Exhibit “A.” Employer may subsequently assign Employee to a different position or modify Employee’s duties and responsibilities; provided however, in the event Employer substantially reduces the duties or responsibilities of Employee, Employee may elect to terminate this Agreement under Section 3.2 (ii) and said termination shall constitute an Involuntary Termination for purposes of Section 3.5. Employee agrees to serve in the assigned position and to perform diligently and to the best of Employee’s abilities the duties and services appertaining to such position as determined by Employer, as well as such additional or different duties and services appropriate to such position which Employee from time to time may be reasonably directed to perform by Employer. Employee shall at all times comply with and be subject to such policies and procedures as Employer may establish from time to time.
     1.3 Employee shall, during the period of Employee’s employment by Employer, devote Employee’s full business time, energy, and best efforts to the business and affairs of Employer and its Enterprises or other entities. Employee may not engage, directly or indirectly, in any other business, investment, or activity that interferes with Employee’s performance of Employee’s duties hereunder, is contrary to the interests of Employer, or requires any significant portion of Employee’s business time.

     1.4 In connection with Employee’s employment by Employer, Employer shall endeavor to provide Employee access to such information pertaining to the business and services of Employer as is appropriate for Employee’s employment responsibilities. Employer also shall endeavor to provide to Employee the opportunity to develop business relationships with those of Employer’s clients and potential clients that are appropriate for Employee’s employment responsibilities.
     1.5 Employee acknowledges and agrees that at all times during the employment relationship Employee owes fiduciary duties to Employer, including but not limited to the fiduciary duties of the highest loyalty, fidelity and allegiance to act at all times in the best interests of the Employer, to make full disclosure to Employer of all information that pertains to Employer’s business and interests, to do no act which would injure Employer’s business, its interests, or its reputation, and to refrain from using for Employee’s own benefit or for the benefit of others any information or opportunities pertaining to Employer’s business or interests that are entrusted to Employee or that Employee learned while employed by Employer. Employee acknowledges and agrees that upon termination of the employment relationship, Employee shall continue to refrain from using for Employee’s own benefit or the benefit of others any information or opportunities pertaining to Employer’s business or interests that were entrusted to Employee during the employment relationship or that Employee learned while employed by Employer. Employee agrees that while employed by Employer and thereafter Employee shall not knowingly take any action that interferes with the internal relationships between Employer and its employees or representatives or interferes with the external relationships between Employer and third parties.
     1.6 It is agreed that any direct or indirect interest in, connection with, or benefit from any outside activities, particularly commercial activities, which interest might in any way adversely affect Employer or any of its Enterprises or other entities, involves a possible conflict of interest. In keeping with Employee’s fiduciary duties to Employer, Employee agrees that during the employment relationship Employee shall not knowingly become involved in a conflict of interest with Employer or its affiliates, or upon discovery thereof, allow such a conflict to continue. Moreover, Employee agrees that Employee shall disclose to Employer’s Chairperson or the Chief Operating Officer should such duty be so delegated, same herein referred to as “Chairperson” any facts that might involve such a conflict of interest that has not been approved by Employer’s Chairperson. Employer and Employee recognize that it is impossible to provide an exhaustive list of actions or interests that constitute a “conflict of interest.” Moreover, Employer and Employee recognize there are many borderline situations. In some instances, full disclosure of facts by the Employee to Employer’s Chairperson or the Chief Operating Officer should such duty be so delegated, may be all that is necessary to enable Employer or its affiliates to protect its interests. In others, if no improper motivation appears to exist and the interests of Employer or its affiliates have not suffered, prompt elimination of the outside interest will suffice. In still others, it may be necessary for Employer to terminate the employment relationship. Employer and Employee agree that Employer’s determination as to whether a conflict of interest exists

- 2 -


 

shall be conclusive. Employer reserves the right to take such action as, in its judgment, will end the conflict.
     1.7 Employee understands and acknowledges that the terms and conditions of this Agreement constitute confidential information. Employee shall keep confidential the terms of this Agreement and shall not disclose this confidential information to anyone other than as required by law. Employee acknowledges and understands that disclosure of the terms of this Agreement constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and could subject Employee to disciplinary action, including without limitation, termination of employment.
ARTICLE 2: COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:
     2.1 Employee’s monthly base salary during the Term shall be not less than the amount set forth under the heading “Monthly Base Salary” on Exhibit “A,” subject to increase at the sole discretion of the Employer, provided however, that Employee shall receive an annual cost of living increase based on the percentage specified by Employer for all of Employer’s employees or a mutually agreeable federal governmental index, which shall be paid in accordance with Employer’s standard payroll practice.

Such benefits, plans, and programs may include, without limitation, paid vacation, paid sick leave, paid holidays, and medical, health, and dental care, life insurance, disability protection, and pension plans.

It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the decision as to whether “cause” exists for termination of the employment relationship by Employer is delegated to the Employer’s Chairperson for determination. If Employee disagrees with the decision reached by Employer’s Chairperson, the dispute will be limited to whether Employer’s Chairperson reached the decision in good faith;
     (ii) for any other reason whatsoever, with or without cause, in the sole discretion of the Chairperson of Employer;

     (iv) upon Employee’s becoming disabled so as the Employee is permanently and totally unable to perform Employee’s duties for Employer as a result of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment as supported by a written medical opinion to the foregoing effect by a physician selected by Employer.
The termination of Employee’s employment by Employer prior to the expiration of the Term shall constitute a “Termination for Cause” if made pursuant to Section 3.1 (i); the effect of such termination is specified in Section 3.4.

     (i) a material breach by Employer of any material provision of this Agreement which remains uncorrected for thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach by Employee to Employer; or
     (ii) for any other reason whatsoever, in the sole discretion of Employee.
The termination of Employee’s employment by Employee prior to the expiration of the Term shall constitute an “Involuntary Termination” if made pursuant to Section 3.2 (i); the effect of such termination is specified in Section 3.5. The termination of Employee’s employment by Employee prior to the expiration of the Term shall constitute a “Voluntary Termination” if made pursuant to Section 3.2 (ii); the effect of such termination is specified in Section 3.3.
     3.3 Upon a “Voluntary Termination” of the employment relationship by Employee prior to expiration of the Term, all future compensation to which Employee is entitled and all future benefits for which Employee is eligible shall cease and terminate as of the date of termination. Employee shall be entitled to pro rata salary through the date of such termination, but Employee shall not be entitled to any individual bonuses or individual incentive compensation not yet paid at the date of such termination.
     3.4 If Employee’s employment hereunder shall be terminated by Employer for Cause as defined in paragraph 3.1 prior to expiration of the Term, all future compensation to which Employee is entitled and all future benefits for which Employee is eligible shall cease and terminate as of the date of termination.

Employee shall not be under any duty or obligation to seek or accept other employment following Involuntary Termination and the amounts due Employee hereunder shall not be reduced or suspended if Employee accepts subsequent employment. Employee’s rights under this Section 3.5 are Employee’s sole and exclusive rights against Employer, its Enterprises or their entities of the Employer, and Employer’s sole and exclusive liability to Employee under this Agreement, in contract, tort, or otherwise, for any Involuntary Termination of the employment relationship. Employee covenants not to sue or lodge any claim, demand or cause of action against Employer for any sums for Involuntary Termination other than those sums specified in this Section 3.5. If Employee breaches this covenant, Employer shall be entitled to recover from Employee all sums expended by Employer (including costs and attorneys fees) in connection with such suit, claim, demand or cause of action.
     3.6 Upon termination of the employment relationship as a result of Employee’s death, Employee’s heirs, administrators, or legatees shall be entitled to Employee’s pro rata salary through the date of such termination, but Employee’s heirs, administrators, or legatees shall not be entitled to any individual bonuses or individual incentive compensation not yet paid to Employee at the date of such termination.
     3.7 Upon termination of the employment relationship as a result of Employee’s incapacity, Employee shall be entitled to his or her pro rata salary through the date of such termination, but Employee shall not be entitled to any individual bonuses or individual incentive compensation not yet paid to Employee at the date of such termination.

If Employee pleads guilty to or nolo contendere or admits civil or criminal liability under the IGRA or other applicable United States law, or if a court finds that Employee has personal civil or criminal liability under the IGRA or other applicable United States law, or if a court finds that Employee committed an action resulting in any Mescalero Apache Tribal Resort Enterprise or other Tribal Enterprise or entity having civil or criminal liability or responsibility under the IGRA or other applicable United States law with knowledge of the activities giving rise to such liability or knowledge of facts from which Employee should have reasonably inferred the activities giving rise to liability had occurred or were likely to occur, such action or finding shall constitute “cause” for termination under this Agreement unless Employer’s highest applicable level of Employer’s management determines that the actions found to be in violation of the IGRA or other applicable United States law were taken in good faith and in compliance with all applicable policies of Employer.
ARTICLE 6: OWNERSHIP AND PROTECTION OF INFORMATION; COPYRIGHTS:
     6.1 All information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries, and inventions, whether patentable or not, which are conceived, made, developed or acquired by

- 7 -


 

Employee, individually or in conjunction with others, during Employee’s employment by Employer (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on Employer’s premises or otherwise) which relate to Employer’s business, products or services (including, without limitation, all such information relating to corporate opportunities, research, financial and sales data, pricing and trading terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition prospects, the identity of customers or their requirements, the identity of key contacts within the customer’s organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, or marketing and merchandising techniques, prospective names, and marks) shall be disclosed to Employer and are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Employer. Moreover, all drawings, memoranda, notes, records, files, correspondence, drawings, manuals, models, specifications, computer programs, maps and all other writings or materials of any type embodying any of such information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries, and inventions are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Employer.
     6.2 Employee acknowledges that the business of Employer, its Enterprises and other entities is highly competitive and that their strategies, methods, books, records, and documents, their technical information concerning their products, equipment, services, and processes, procurement procedures and pricing techniques, the names of and other information (such as credit and financial data) concerning their customers and business affiliates, all comprise confidential business information and trade secrets which are valuable, special, and unique assets which Employer, its Enterprises and other entities use in their business to obtain a competitive advantage over their competitors. Employee further acknowledges that protection of such confidential business information and trade secrets against unauthorized disclosure and use is of critical importance to Employer, its Enterprises and other entities in maintaining their competitive position. Employee hereby agrees that Employee will not, at any time during or after his employment by Employer, make any unauthorized disclosure of any confidential business information or trade secrets of Employer, its subsidiaries and other entities, or make any use thereof, except in the carrying out of his or her employment responsibilities hereunder. Employer its Enterprises and other entities shall be third party beneficiaries of Employee’s obligations under this Section. As a result of Employee’s employment by Employer, Employee may also from time to time have access to, or knowledge of, confidential business information or trade secrets of third parties, such as customers, suppliers, partners, joint ventures, and the like, of Employer, its subsidiaries and other entities. Employee also agrees to preserve and protect the confidentiality of such third party confidential information and trade secrets to the same extent, and on the same basis, as Employer’s confidential business information and trade secrets. Employee acknowledges that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 6 by Employee, and Employer shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Article 6 by terminating any payments then owing to Employee under this Agreement and/or to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Article 6, but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity to Employer, including the recovery of damages from Employee and his or her agents involved in such breach.

- 8 -


 

     6.3 All written materials, records, and other documents made by, or coming into the possession of, Employee during the period of Employee’s employment by Employer which contain or disclose confidential business information or trade secrets of Employer, its Enterprises and other entities shall be and remain the property of Employer, its Enterprises and other entities, as the case may be. Upon termination of Employee’s employment by Employer, for any reason, Employee promptly shall deliver the same, and all copies thereof, to Employer.
     6.4 If, during Employee’s employment by Employer, Employee creates any original work of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression which is the subject matter of copyright (such as videotapes, written presentations on acquisitions, computer programs, drawings, maps, architectural renditions, models, manuals, brochures, or the like) relating to Employer’s business, products, or services, whether such work is created solely by Employee or jointly with others (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on Employer’s premises or otherwise), Employee shall disclose such work to Employer. Employer shall be deemed the author of such work if the work is prepared by Employee in the scope of his employment; or, if the work is not prepared by Employee within the scope of his employment but is specially ordered by Employer as a contribution to a collective work, as a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, as a translation, as a supplementary work, as a compilation, or as an instructional text, then the work shall be considered to be work made for hire and Employer shall be the author of the work. If such work is neither prepared by the Employee within the scope of his employment nor a work specially ordered and is deemed to be a work made for hire, then Employee hereby agrees to assign, and by these presents does assign, to Employer all of Employee’s worldwide right, title, and interest in and to such work and all rights of copyright therein.
     6.5 During the period of Employee’s employment by Employer and thereafter, Employee shall assist Employer and its nominee, at any time, in the protection of Employer’s worldwide right, title, and interest in and to information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries, and inventions, and its copyrighted works, including without limitation, the execution of all formal assignment documents requested by Employer or its nominee and the execution of all lawful oaths and applications for applications for patents and registration of copyright in the United States and foreign countries.
ARTICLE 7: POST-EMPLOYMENT NON-COMPETITION OBLIGATIONS:
     7.1 As part of the consideration for the compensation and benefits to be paid to Employee hereunder, in keeping with Employee’s duties as a fiduciary and in order to protect Employer’s interests in the confidential information of Employer and the business relationships developed by Employee with the clients and potential clients of Employer, and as an additional incentive for Employer to enter into this Agreement, Employer and Employee agree to the non-competition provisions of this Article 7. Employee agrees that during the period of Employee’s non-competition obligations hereunder, Employee will

- 9 -


 

not, directly or indirectly work for Employee or for others, in Otero County, Lincoln County, Chaves County and Dona Ana County, New Mexico:
     (i) engage in any business competitive with the business conducted by Employer;
     (ii) render advice or services to, or otherwise assist, any other person, association, or entity who is engaged, directly or indirectly, in any business competitive with the business conducted by Employer;
     (iii) induce any employee of Employer, its Enterprises and other entities to terminate his or her employment with Employer, its Enterprises and other entities, or hire or assist in the hiring of any such employee by person, association, or entity not affiliated with Employer.
These non-competition obligations shall extend during the term of this agreement and for twelve (12) months after termination or expiration whichever should occur last.
     7.2 Employee understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit his ability to engage in certain businesses during the period provided for above, but acknowledges that Employee will receive sufficiently high remuneration and other benefits (e.g., the right to receive compensation under Section 3.5 upon Involuntary Termination) under this Agreement to justify such restriction. Employee acknowledges that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 7 by Employee, and Employer shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Article 7 by terminating any payments then owing to Employee under this Agreement and/or to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Article 7, but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity to Employer, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages from Employee and his or her agents involved in such breach.
     7.3 It is expressly understood and agreed that Employer and Employee consider the restrictions contained in this Article 7 to be reasonable and necessary to protect the proprietary information of Employer. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court having jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions therein set forth to be modified by such courts so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified by the court, to be fully enforced.
ARTICLE 8: MISCELLANEOUS:
     8.1 For purposes of this Agreement the term “Employer” shall include the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino, Ski Apache, Casino Apache Travel Center and any other Enterprise or entity of the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino.
