INN OF THE MOUNTAIN GODS RESORT AND CASINO AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting Entity and Operations
The Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino and subsidiaries (“IMG Resort and Casino” or the “Company"), an unincorporated enterprise of the Mescalero Apache Tribe (the “Tribe”), was established April 30, 2003 by the Tribe and manages and owns all resort, hotel and gaming enterprises of the Tribe including the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino (the “Resort”), a gaming, hotel and resort complex opened on March 15, 2005, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, each of which is an unincorporated enterprise of the Tribe: Casino Apache (the “Casino Apache Enterprise”), which owned and operated the Tribe’s former casino, Casino Apache, closed in February 2005; Casino Apache Travel Center (the “Travel Center”), which owns the Tribe’s second casino facility opened in May 2003 (the “Travel Center Casino”); Ski Apache (the “Ski Apache”), which owns the Tribe’s ski resort, Ski Apache (the “Ski Apache Resort”); and Inn of the Mountain Gods (the "Inn”), which owned the Tribe’s former resort hotel, Inn of the Mountain Gods (the “Inn Hotel”). The Tribe is the sole owner of IMG Resort and Casino. IMG Resort and Casino is a separate legal entity from the Tribe and is managed by a separate management board.
The Resort, which opened for commercial business on March 15, 2005, is located on tribal land in Mescalero, New Mexico and consists of a casino (the “Inn of the Mountain Gods Casino”) offering Class III gaming as defined by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (“IGRA”) and a 273 luxury room resort hotel. The Travel Center Casino, which opened for business on May 22, 2003, also offers Class III gaming as defined by IGRA, on tribal land in Mescalero. Ski Apache operates the Ski Apache Resort, a ski resort located within the Tribe’s reservation in Mescalero and on the U.S. Forest Service land.
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.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses and did not generate sufficient cash to make the May 15, 2009 interest payment on its 12% senior notes due 2010. This non-payment of interest constitutes an event of default under the indenture governing the senior notes. The Company is currently in discussions with certain of its debtholders regarding these issues. As of July 31, 2009, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $218 million and a total deficit of approximately $30.1 million. The event of default, along with the Company’s history of recurring losses, negative working capital and limited access to capital, has raised substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

INN OF THE MOUNTAIN GODS RESORT AND CASINO AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Historically, IMG Resort and Casino has not generated sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy its capital requirements and relied upon debt financing arrangements to satisfy such requirements. The current cash flows and capital resources may force IMG Resort and Casino to reduce or delay activities and capital expenditures if IMG Resort and Casino is unable to refinance its debt. In the event that IMG Resort and Casino is unable to refinance or restructure its debt, IMG Resort and Casino will be left without sufficient liquidity and IMG Resort and Casino will not be able to meet the debt service requirements and repayment obligations.
The Tribe has been exploring the potential to refinance the Notes. If the refinancing transaction fails to close on or before the maturity date of the outstanding Notes, the existing noteholders have certain rights under the Notes. If the existing noteholders pursue those rights upon the collateral securing the Notes; our financial viability may be materially and adversely impacted, and we may be forced to: (1) negotiate with the noteholders regarding the restructuring of the Notes; (2) sell some or all of the assets to satisfy our obligations under the Notes; or (3) pursue other alternatives available through formal proceedings, any of which would cause the business to suffer.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year’s 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, the estimated lives of depreciable assets, the determination of bad debt, inventory reserves, asset impairment and the capitalization of construction bond interest costs. 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 and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of nine months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists primarily of hotel and other non-gaming receivables. 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.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are presented at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for additions, improvements and replacements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the service lives of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. Interest incurred during the construction period is capitalized at the borrowing rate for the related loan and is amortized over the life of the related asset. Equipment sold, or otherwise disposed of, is removed from the accounts with gains or losses on disposal recorded in the statements of income.
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
Deferred Financing and Refinancing Costs
Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Resort Project financing were capitalized and are being 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 $2.8 million as of April 30, 2009 and $3.0 million as of July 31, 2009, of which $576,451 was capitalized in association with the refinancing transaction described above during the quarter ended July 31, 2009 but are not currently being amortized.
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, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, bank financing facilities and capital lease obligations approximate fair value.
The fair value of IMG Resort and Casino’s senior notes were approximately $28.0 million at July 31, 2009, versus $200.0 million recorded value, based on the most recent quoted market price. The notes are not heavily traded, and price quotes ranged from $41.00 to $14.00 during the quarter ended July 31, 2009.
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 costs related to the Mescalero Apache Tribe Defined Benefit Plan (see Note 7). For the quarter ended July 31, 2009, IMG Resort and Casino distributed $8.0 million to the Tribe.

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 approximately $271,000 and $213,000 at April 30, 2009 and July 31, 2009, 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 $257,000 and $173,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2008 and 2009, 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 liability is included in accrued expenses and totaled $1,153,398 at April 30, 2009 and $1,091,394 at July 31, 2009.
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.

Marketing
IMG Resort and Casino’s marketing costs to outside parties are expensed as incurred and for the three months ended July 31, 2008 and 2009 were $1.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively.
Tribal Taxes
IMG Resort and Casino is subject to Tribal taxes as long as its enterprises are not subject to New Mexico State Gross Receipts Tax. IMG Resort and Casino operations, other than a portion of the operations at Ski Apache, are not subject to the New Mexico State 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 charged at non-Ski Apache outlets. There is also a Tribal excise tax that equals the difference between a fixed rate of $200,000 per month and the total of the non-Ski Apache taxes collected, should the taxes collected be less than $200,000 per month. The related tax ordinances are unclear as to what happens when the amount collected from sales is greater than $200,000 per month. Additionally, the taxes collected are included in net revenue and tax payments are included in expenses as opposed to being recorded as a liability and subsequent release of the liability. The tax payment is made at the beginning of the month of the same month that the taxes are being collected. IMG Resort and Casino has recorded and paid the Tribe $600,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2008 and 2009. The amount of taxes collected from sales materially approximates the amount paid to the Tribe each month.
Classification of Departmental Costs
Gaming direct costs are comprised of all costs of the Resorts’ gaming operation, including labor costs employed in gaming departments, casino-based supply costs and other direct operating costs of the casinos (including costs in operating our player’s club). 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.

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 was effective for the Company as of May 1, 2008 and the adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on IMG Resort and Casino’s 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 adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on IMG Resort and Casino’s financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position FSP FAS 142-3,“Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP FAS 142-3”). The FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The intent of the FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under other accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The company adopted SFAS No. 142 at the beginning of fiscal year 2010. The adoption did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments “(“FSP No. 107-1”). FSP No. 107-1 extends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to interim period financial statements, in addition to the existing requirements for annual periods and reiterates SFAS No. 107’s requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value. FSP No. 107-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement did have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual fiscal periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 165 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 and does not expect that adoption of SFAS No. 165 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “the FASB Accounting Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, Replaces SFAS No. 162, establishes the sources of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. On the effective date for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non –SEC accounting and reporting standards. SFAS No. 168 became effective on July 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 168 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.
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. IMG Resort and Casino determines the adequacy of this allowance by periodically evaluating individual non-gaming customer receivables and considering its non-gaming customers financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. 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.
The allowance for doubtful accounts was $37,104 as of April 30, 2009 and $57,669 as of July 31, 2009.

NOTE 5—LONG-TERM DEBT
On November 3, 2003, IMG Resort and Casino issued $200.0 million of its 12% Senior Notes (the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at 12% per year, payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2004. The Notes will mature on November 15, 2010. The Notes may be redeemed at any time on or after November 15, 2007 at fixed redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. If a change in control occurs, holders of the Notes will have the right to require the repurchase of their Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Notes are guaranteed by all of IMG Resort and Casino’s subsidiaries.
The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, IMG Resort and Casino and the guarantors’ ability to pay dividends and make distributions to the Tribe; make investments; incur additional debt; create liens; sell equity interests in subsidiaries; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; engage in other businesses; transfer or sell assets; and merge or consolidate with or into other entities.
The Company did not make the scheduled $12.0 million interest payment on the Company’s Notes on May 15, 2009. Under the terms of the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”), the Company had a 30 day grace period with respect to the interest payment but did not make this payment. Failure to make the interest payment on or before June 15, 2009 constitutes an event of default under the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes could declare all of the Notes immediately due and payable. Pursuant to the indenture, we are obligated to pay interest on overdue installments of interest payable on the Notes at a rate equal to 13% per annum (1% per annum in excess of the then applicable annual interest rate on the Notes). The Tribe has engaged a financial advisor, to begin discussions with bondholders related to restructuring the Notes. If the Notes are declared immediately due and payable, it would constitute a default under the terms of the Company’s furniture and equipment loan and the lenders thereunder could declare the outstanding loan to be immediately due and payable. Although the furniture and equipment loans are not technically in default, the Company entered into forbearance agreements with its lenders whereby the lenders agreed to forebear existing rights and remedies in the event of default (see below). Due to the event of default, the Notes have been classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

The fixed credit facility is fully amortizable over five years and bears fixed interest rates ranging from 7.55% to 8.18%. Proceeds from the loan were used to fund furniture, fixtures and equipment for the Resort. Although the furniture and equipment loans are not technically in default, the Company entered into forbearance agreements with its lenders whereby the lenders agreed to forebear existing rights and remedies in the event of default. As of April 30, 2009 and July 31, 2009, $4.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively, remained outstanding on this facility.

NOTE 6—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 (“Commission”). The Commission reports directly to the Tribal Council of the Tribe. 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.
On June 1, 2004 the Tribe and the State of New Mexico (“State) entered into a Tribal-State Compact (“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.
On June 22, 2004, the Department of the Interior approved the 2001 Compact. 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. As of April 30, 2009 and July 31, 2009, the amount payable to the State was $392,817 and $568,992, respectively, for regulatory fees.

NOTE 7 — EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
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.

On May 1, 2009, the Tribe suspended IMG Resort and Casino’s matching of employee contributions up to 4% in the Tribe sponsored 401(k) savings plan, as a cost saving measure. The total amount of match made by IMG Resort and Casino was $226,683 for the quarter ended July 31, 2008 and $0 for the quarter ended July 31, 2009. The IRS sets the maximum allowed each year for qualified 401(k) plans. The maximum the IRS allows for an employee deferral amount for 2008 and 2009 for an employee, who is under 50 years old, is $15,500, and for an employee who is over 50 years old, is $20,500.

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 reimburses the Tribe for its employees’ direct costs for coverage as billed by the third party.
The Tribe provides employee benefits to the IMG Resort and Casino, which reimburses the Tribe for all costs and expenses associated with this health and dental insurance. IMG Resort and Casino paid the Tribe $849,000 and $846,401 for the quarters ended July 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
NOTE 11 — STORM RECOVERY
In late July 2008, the remnants of Hurricane Dolly brought torrential rain and caused significant flash flood damage at Ski Apache and the Inn of the Mountain Gods Championship Golf Course, damaging buildings, land, and equipment. A majority of assets that were damaged or destroyed were fully or nearly fully depreciated.
IMG Resort and Casino’s insurance carrier agreed to provide approximately $5.0 million of coverage for the damage that occurred as a result of the flooding. Additionally, FEMA had deemed the area a Federal Disaster area and has assured financial assistance of at least the deductible on our insurance policy.
For the period ended July 31, 2009, IMG Resort and Casino has incurred approximately $0.01 million in costs associated with the storm recovery compared to $0.06 million for the three months ended July 31, 2008.
NOTE 12 — OPERATING SEGMENTS
The IMG Resort and Casino has four operating segments and a consolidating segment: Gaming at the IMG, Gaming at the Travel Center, Ski, and all other non-gaming. The Gaming segments include the activities of the two casinos. The Ski segment includes Ski lifts and Ski school at Ski Apache. The Non-Gaming segment includes the hotel, hunts, golf, food and beverage, banquets, conferences, retail shops, convenience store and truck stop fuel sales.
As a result of realigning its operations, the resulting reporting of the segments has changed. The Company has restated prior year’s segment information to be consistent with the current reporting and operating structure in place today. Assets and liabilities have been consolidated under the non-segment group, and as a result, depreciation and interest expenses are not broken out separately by segment, which is consistent with the internal decision makers’ information requirements.
These operating segments represent distinct business activities, which are managed separately from a profit and loss perspective, but jointly from a balance sheet perspective.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses and did not generate sufficient cash to make the May 15, 2009 interest payment on its 12% senior notes due 2010. This non-payment of interest constitutes an event of default under the indenture governing the senior notes. As of April 30, 2009, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $218 million and a total deficit of approximately $30.1 million. The event of default, along with the Company’s history of recurring losses, negative working capital and limited access to capital, has raised substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
     We did not make the scheduled $12.0 million interest payment on our senior notes due 2010 scheduled to be made on May 15, 2009. Our failure to make the interest payment on or before June 15, 2009 constitutes an event of default under the indenture governing the senior notes and the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes could declare all of the notes immediately due and payable. Pursuant to the indenture, we are obligated to pay interest on overdue installments of interest payable on the senior notes at a rate equal to 13% per annum (1% per annum in excess of the then applicable annual interest rate on the senior notes). The Tribe has engaged financial advisors to assist the Company with the evaluation and implementation of financial and strategic alternatives. If our senior notes are declared immediately due and payable, it would constitute a default under the terms of our furniture and equipment loan and the lenders thereunder could declare the outstanding loan to be immediately due and payable and may enforce their rights to the collateral securing the loan, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. We are currently in discussions with certain of our debtholders regarding

these issues, although we have received temporary forbearance agreements from those lenders with respect to our failure to make the interest payment.
     Historically, IMG Resort and Casino has not generated sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy our capital requirements and relied upon debt financing arrangements to satisfy such requirements. The current cash flows and capital resources may be insufficient to meet both short and long term debt obligations and commitments, and IMG Resort and Casino may be forced to reduce or delay activities and capital expenditures if IMG Resort and Casino is unable to refinance its debt. In the event that IMG Resort and Casino is unable to refinance or restructure its debt, IMG Resort and Casino will be left without sufficient liquidity and IMG Resort and Casino will not be able to meet the debt service requirements and repayment obligations.
     We are undergoing a comprehensive review of our operations to determine ways to improve revenues, reduce operating and non-operating expenses and limit our uses of cash. We expect to realize the benefits of certain of these measures immediately, while the benefit of others will not be realized until future periods. However, we can give no assurance that the expected benefits will be realized in the amount or at the times we anticipate, or at all.
     We believe that 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.
Overview
     We are an unincorporated business enterprise of the Tribe. The Tribe formed IMG Resort and Casino to operate its resort enterprises, comprised of, the Inn, Casino Apache Travel Center and Ski Apache, each of which is an unincorporated Tribal business enterprise wholly-owned by IMG Resort and Casino. The combined activities of these enterprises comprise our operations. Our four primary areas of operation are:
     Gaming. Our gaming activities are authorized by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, or IGRA, our gaming compact with the State of New Mexico and a Tribal gaming ordinance. As of July 31, 2009, we had 55,000-square feet of combined gaming space featuring 1,302 slot machines and 37 table games between our facilities at the Resort, opened in March 2005, and Casino Apache Travel Center (the “Travel Center Casino”), opened in May 2003.
     Food and Beverage. The Resort features: Wendell’s, a 116-seat casual and fine dining restaurant; Gathering of Nations Buffet, a 260-seat buffet style restaurant; a 72-seat sports bar; an 80-seat night club featuring live entertainment, dancing and DJ music; Wendell’s Lounge, a “piano” lounge featuring an oversized fireplace; and the Apache Summit BBQ, an 88-seat casual restaurant in the golf clubhouse. Casino Apache Travel Center features Smokey B’s, a 130-seat casual dining restaurant and one sports bar. Ski Apache operates one main restaurant and five satellite food and beverage outlets.
     Hotel. On March 15, 2005, we opened the Resort which features 273 luxury hotel rooms. The hotel varies between four and eight stories in height, depending upon the location along the hotel corridor, and allows for easy traveling distance to and from the casino and events center. Our over-sized deluxe guest rooms are either 480 square feet or 610 square feet and our suites are 1,200 square feet (with the ability to connect to a 480 square foot deluxe guest room, providing a total of 1,680 square feet in that configuration). In-room amenities include high-speed Internet access, coffee makers, ironing boards and irons, mini-bars, toiletries, free and pay-per-view movies and other standard and premium channels. All rooms feature a balcony view of Lake Mescalero, Sierra Blanca Mountain or the forest-lined golf course. The hotel also features an indoor swimming pool and fitness center, steam and sauna facilities for both men and women and a family locker area.

     Recreation and Other. Our all-season recreational operations include, Ski Apache with 11 ski lifts covering 55 trails over 750 acres and is the second largest in New Mexico, an 18-hole championship golf course, seasonal big-game hunts, a shooting range, horseback riding, boating and fishing. Our ski resort is typically open from Thanksgiving until Easter, while our golf course generally operates from April through November. Our retail outlets include a gift shop, golf and pro shop, ski shop, a 2,500-square foot convenience store, a fuel station with 12 gasoline and eight diesel pumping stations and laundry and shower facilities.
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-Q. 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. 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 and table games. 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 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 rewards services.
     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. We adopted EITF 00-14 on April 30, 2001. Our 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, we, through our 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 costs and other indirect costs not included in the direct costs of our operating departments.
     Deferred Financing and Refinancing Costs. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Resort Project financing were capitalized and are being 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 $2.8 million as of April 30, 2009 and $3.0 million as of July 31, 2009, of which $576,451 was capitalized in association with the refinancing transaction described above during the quarter ended July 31, 2009 but are not being amortized.
     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.

Table of Contents

increase operating efficiencies and reduce operating expenses, which are subject to economic, financial, business and other conditions, some of which are beyond our control.
     We currently have outstanding $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 12% Senior Notes due 2010 (the “Senior Notes”). We did not make the scheduled $12.0 million interest payment on our senior notes due 2010 scheduled to be made on May 15, 2009.
     Additionally, our ability to incur additional indebtedness is limited under the terms of the indenture governing the Senior 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.
Description of Indebtedness
The Senior 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 July 31, 2009 accrued interest payable on the Senior Notes was $17.2 million.
     The Senior 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 Senior 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 Senior Notes.
     We did not make the scheduled $12.0 million interest payment on our senior notes due 2010 scheduled to be made on May 15, 2009. Our failure to make the interest payment on or before June 15, 2009 constitutes an event of default under the indenture governing the senior notes and the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the notes could declare all of the notes immediately due and payable.
Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness
     In general, we are restricted in connection with the issuance of the Senior 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 Senior 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 Senior 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 Senior 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 July 31, 2009, there is approximately $0.6 million outstanding on the BIA Note.

Credit Facility
     On June 15, 2004, we entered into a $15.0 million fixed credit facility with an equipment finance company. The fixed rate loan is fully amortizable over five years. Proceeds from the interest rate loan were used to fund furniture, fixtures and equipment for the Resort. As of July 31, 2009, approximately $3.4 million remains outstanding.
     As discussed above, we did not make the scheduled $12.0 million interest payment on our senior notes due 2010 scheduled to be made on May 15, 2009. If our senior notes are declared immediately due and payable, it would constitute a default under the terms of our furniture and equipment loan and the lenders thereunder could declare the outstanding loan to be immediately due and payable and may enforce their rights to the collateral securing the loan, which would have a material adverse effect on our business. Although the furniture and equipment loans are not technically in default, the Company entered into forbearance agreements with its lenders whereby the lenders agreed to forebear existing rights and remedies in the event of default.
Credit Rating
     On August 14, 2009, Moody’s Investor Service lowered IMG Resort and Casino probability of default rating to ‘Ca/LD’ from ‘Ca’. The ‘Ca/LD’ probability of default rating recognizes a payment default under the $200 million 12% Senior Notes due November 2010. The last rating action by Moody’s Investor Service was on March 20, 2009, at which time they lowered IMG Resort and Casino’s rating from ‘Caa2’ to ‘Ca’.
     On May 18, 2009, Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services lowered its issuer credit rating for IMG Resort and Casino to ‘D’ from ‘CCC’, as well as lowered the issue-level rating on IMG Resort and Casino’s $200 million 12% senior unsecured notes due Nov. 15, 2010 to ‘D’ from ‘CCC’. The rationale behind the decrease in the ratings was due to IMG Resort and Casino not making its $12 million interest payment on its senior note scheduled for May 15, 2009, as described below.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     As of July 31, 2009, 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.
Regulation and Taxes
     We are subject to extensive regulation by the Mescalero Apache Tribal Gaming Commission, the National Indian 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 business 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 periods ended July 31, 2009 or 2008, 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 effect on our cash flows from operations.
Item 3. 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. As of July 31, 2009, we had no variable rate debt outstanding.
     As of July 31, 2009, we held no derivative instruments.

     Ben Martinez, age 38, was appointed to the position of Chief Financial Officer for the IMG Resort and Casino August 25, 2009. Mr. Martinez worked in banking with JP Morgan / Chase from June 1994 to September 2000. During his tenure with JP Morgan / Chase he completed the Officer Development Program focusing on financial analysis and credit underwriting. Upon completion of the bank’s formal program, Mr. Martinez worked with the institutional trust division as an investment analyst prior to progressing to a portfolio manager in the investment management area. In September 2000, Mr. Martinez went to work with BOK Financial as a Vice President and Sr. Portfolio Manager working with the company’s investment management team managing roughly $1 billion in trust assets. In June 2003 Mr. Martinez started an investment advisory venture providing a range of financial advisory services.
