2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

             Basis of Presentation

 The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations set forth in Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of Rotate Black, Inc. and Subsidiary together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
 
Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and the subsidiary.

Investments in 50% or less owned entities are accounted for using the equity method.  Under the equity method, the Company includes the net income or loss from the equity entity.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to 2009 financial statement presentation.
 
Financial Instruments
 
The Company considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, loan payable, stockholder and accrued expenses to approximate their fair values because of their relatively short maturities.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
 
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as they are incurred.  Improvements and betterments which extend the lives of the assets are capitalized.  The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are relieved from the appropriate accounts and any profit or loss on the sale or disposition of such assets is credited or charged to income.
 
Contract Rights and Intangible Assets
 
Contract rights and intangible assets are valued at cost and will be amortized over their estimated useful lives as determined by management. The Company will evaluate the carrying value of the intangible assets for impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be greater than its fair value. If impaired, the Company will write-down such impairment. In addition, the useful lives of the contract rights and intangible assets will be evaluated by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the useful life may be definitive and the Company will commence amortization over such useful life.
 
The Company will commence amortization of contract rights upon the effective date of the underlying contract. The intangible assets have an indefinitive life.
 
Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and others. The Company determines the fair value of the share-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the shares issued, whichever is more reliably measureable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price of recent sales of common stock by the Company (as their shares are thinly traded) as of the earlier of either the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instrument is reached or the date the performance is complete.
 
All shares of common stock issued for legal and consulting services have been charges to operations and are included in stock based compensation.

 
6

 
 
Noncontrolling Interest
 
The Company records adjustments to noncontrolling interest for the allocable portion of income or loss that the noncontrolling interest holders are entitled based upon their portion of certain of the subsidiaries that they own.  Distributions to holders of noncontrolling interests are adjusted to the respective noncontrolling interest holders' balance.
 
The Company suspends allocation of losses to noncontrolling interest holders when the noncontrolling interest balance for a particular noncontrolling interest holder is reduced to zero.  Any excess loss above the noncontrolling interest holders' balance is not charged to noncontrolling interest as the noncontrolling interest holders have no obligation to fund such losses.
 
Loss per Common Share
 
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each period.
 
Income Taxes
 
Deferred income taxes have been provided for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting under the liability method, using expected tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  A valuation allowance is provided when realization is not considered more likely than not.
 
The Company’s policy is to classify income tax assessments, if any, for interest in interest expense and for penalties in general and administrative expenses.
 
Consideration of Subsequent Events
 
The Company evaluated all events and transactions occurring after December 31, 2009 through February 16, 2010, the date these financial statements were issued, to identify subsequent events which may need to be recognized or non-recognizable events which would need disclosure.  No recognizable events were identified. See Note 18 for non-recognizable events identified for disclosure.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
3.  GOING CONCERN
 
The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since inception, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $2,589,450 and negative working capital of $1,754, 585 as of December 31, 2009 and further losses are anticipated. These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue.

17.  ADOPTION OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
During the six months ended December 31, 2009, the Company adopted the following accounting pronouncements without a material impact on the financial statements.
 
In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2009-08, "Earnings Per Share - Amendments to Section 260-10-S99".  This Codification Update represents technical corrections to Topic 260-10-S99, "Earnings Per Share", based on EITF Topic D-53, "Computation of Earnings Per Share for a Period that Includes a Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of a Class of Preferred Stock" and EITF Topic D-42, "The Effect of the Calculation of Earnings Per Share For the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock". The Codification Update provides guidance regarding the definition of redemptions and conversions of equity-classified preferred stock instruments in relation to the calculation of earnings per share.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, "Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value".  This ASU amends the "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" Topic of the Codification to provide further guidance on how to measure the fair value of a liability.  ASU No. 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after issuance.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”).  FAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied to rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. 
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements.  This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.  FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption.  In periods after initial adoption, the FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption.
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”), which replaced SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, establishes principles and requirements for determining how an enterprise recognizes and measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, including non-controlling interests, contingent consideration and certain acquired contingencies.  SFAS 141(R) also requires acquisition-related transaction expenses and restructuring costs be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as a component of the business combination.
 
Financial Staff Position (“FSP”) 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies”, amended and clarified SFAS 141R to address application issues associated with initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination.
 
In April, 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Staff Position 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 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 FASB No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. FSP SFAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008 and must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date.
 
FASB No. 160. “Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary (previously referred to as minority interests).  SFAS 160 also requires that a retained non-controlling interest upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at its fair value.  SFAS 160 also requires reporting any non-controlling interests as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and presenting any net income allocable to non-controlling interests and net income attributable to stockholders of the Company separately in its consolidated statements of income.

OVERVIEW
 
Rotate Black, Inc. (Company) was incorporated in Nevada on August 2, 2006 to be the successor by merger of BevSystems International, Inc. and BevSystems International Ltd. (BevSystems) under a plan of reorganization (Plan), effective August 15, 2008, as approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court in Tampa, Florida. Under the terms of the Plan, BevSystems merged into the Company with the Company as the survivor.
 
On March 31, 2004, BevSystems filed under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and, on April 15, 2006, filed a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan provided for the Company to: (1) purchase the intangible assets of BevSystems for $175,000, (2) pay creditors opting out of the common stock settlement an aggregate of $10,000, (3) pay all legal and other cost of the Plan of $189,265 and (4) issue 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (10%) to the balance of the creditors. The shares issued to the creditors were valued at $.057, per share, the value of the shares acquired by the 90% stockholder, for an aggregate purchase price of $513,079. All costs of the bankruptcy were paid by the 90% stockholder, Rotate Black, LLC (RBL), an entity substantially owned by an officer of the Company and family members. The Company was also required to provide an escrow fund for future operations of $200,000. All outstanding equity shares of BevSystems were cancelled. All requirements under the Plan have been met. The Company recorded the purchase of BevSystems under the purchase method of accounting and allocated the entire purchase price to intangible assets.
 
On August 15, 2008, the Company commenced operations and all activity prior thereto has been charged to operations. Rotate Black is a development stage company focused on building its business of developing and managing casino properties worldwide.
 
Gaming
 
On October 7, 2008, the Company entered into certain agreements with Rotate Black, LLC (“RBL”) a Michigan Limited Liability Company for the acquisition of three of its business units, “Gaming” “Dayton” and “India” (as each is defined in the preceding notes to the financial statements). Under the terms of the agreements, we acquired land, receivables and contract rights for an aggregate of 40,440,900 shares of its common stock.
 
Pursuant to the RBL agreement we acquired a seventy five percent (75%) ownership in RBL’s wholly owned subsidiary Rotate Black Gaming, Inc. (Gaming), a Nevada corporation. In accordance with a December 2009 Executive Order issued by the President of the Seneca Nation of Indians (Nation), Gaming is the Presidential Representative to pursue the development of a Class III world-class casino resort tentatively scheduled to be named “the Seneca Catskills Resort and Casino” consistent with the terms of Development and Management Agreements previously entered into with the Nation.  To date, Gaming has completed the overall plans for the three phased development, acquired property and transferred the property to the Nation. Although there can be no assurance, Gaming intends to discuss and finalize a successful strategy with the Nation for moving the lands to gaming eligible status.

On December 4, 2009, Gaming received a written temporary determination from the Nation’s gaming regulatory body, the Seneca Gaming Authority (SGA). The temporary determinations found our gaming subsidiary and four of our officers unsuitable to be issued a Class III Gaming License by the SGA.
 
On December 23, 2009, the Nation issued an Executive Order providing that it was "in the Nation's best interests" that Gaming "continue to pursue a Catskills Class III gaming facility on behalf of the Nation" during the SGA appeal process and designated Gaming “a Presidential Representative" to pursue such Catskills project " consistent with terms of the Development and Management Agreements previously entered into with the Nation".  The Executive Order provides Gaming with the Presidential authority to continue to exclusively develop this project pending the SGA’s appeal process. At the successful conclusion of the SGA’s appeals process, we intend to seek any and all formal extensions
 
On January 19, 2010, each of Gaming and the four officers filed appellant petitions with the SGA to review their initial determinations of suitability.  We believe the appellant petitions provided meritorious factual and legal positions for the SGA to reverse its initial determinations.
 
On February 10, 2010, the SGA notified Gaming that it had determined that it was not necessary to continue the licensing process for Gaming and its four named officers and that it was prepared to rescind its temporary findings of unsuitability and withdraw such findings without prejudice.  Gaming continues to work with the SGA for a final satisfactory resolution of this matter.
 
Big Easy Gaming Vessel
 
On February 2, 2010, Rotate Black, Inc entered into a purchase agreement with the Chapter 11 Trustee of Cruise Holding II, LLC to purchase the gaming vessel “The Big Easy” for $3,000,000. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company paid a cash deposit of $125,000 and issued a note in the amount of $125,000, which was personally guaranteed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, John Paulsen. The Purchase Agreement provides for a closing no later than March 15, 2010, subject to a single extension of no more than 30 days, at the election of the Company upon a payment to the Trustee of an additional cash deposit of $50,000. The Purchase Agreement also provides that the $250,000 deposit shall be forfeited as liquidated damages in the event that the Company defaults, breaches the terms of the offer, or breaches the terms of any sale order that may be entered by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida.
 
On February 8, 2010, the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida approved the Private Sale of the M/V Big Easy free and clear of liens, claims and encumbrances to us. The Court ordered that any party in interest objecting to the sale order may file a motion for reconsideration within ten calendar days, so long as the objecting party enters into a binding Asset Purchase Agreement with the Trustee at a cost higher than $3,525,000 and tenders a cash deposit in the amount of $525,000. Then if the Court agrees to vacate the Company’s sale order, Rotate Black would be entitled to receive a break up fee of $250,000 and a refund of its cash deposit along with the cancellation of the promissory note and personal guaranty.  At the time of this filing no one had objected to the Court’s approved sale order.

As of February 15, 2010, we have commenced the early development of other gaming properties and placed our India and Dayton gaming developments on hold.

Results of Operations
 
Revenue
 
As of December 31, 2009, we have had no recognizable revenues. Revenues, consisting of development fees, will commence upon the closing of the financing related to the Development Agreement. As of December 31, 2009, we have unbilled development advances of $2,219,223.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Operations for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are not comparable because, during 2008, the Company was not operational inasmuch as management was pursuing contracts and approvals but not expending capital or incurring expenses while awaiting contracts and approvals.
 
Our operating expenses consisted of salaries, stock based compensation and various general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2009, we wrote-off our investment in joint venture for our India casino development of $136,121. Our management has determined that the fair value was uncertain because the gaming laws in India may not stabilize for two to three years.
 
Also, during the six months ended December 31, 2010, a vender agreed to forgive $49,145 for payment of the balance due.
 
Cash Used in Financing Activities
 
Net cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was $586,483, consisted of proceeds from sales of common stock of $740,931, principally offset in part by a decrease in loan payable – stockholder (RBL) of $126,705
 
Net cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2008 were $640,897, consisted proceeds from sales of common stock of $57,000 and an increase in loan payable – stockholder (RBL) of $583,897
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2009, we had negative working capital of $1,754,585 compared to negative working capital of $1,930,225 as of June 30, 2009, an accumulated deficit of $2,589,450 and further losses are anticipated.
 
We do not have sufficient funds to continue our operating activities. Future operating activities are expected to be funded by sales of common stock and to a limited extent, provided by loans from RBL, our major stockholder until such time that operations will generate sufficient funds.
 
These factors raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue.
 
Upon the funding of the Facilities financing with CRT Capital, the deferred development cost will be invoiced and we will recognized our deferred revenue.

On October 26, 2009, we entered into an agreement with CapStone Investments to act as placement agent (Agent) for a proposed offering by the Company of up to $12,500,000 of debt obligations or other financings, on a best-efforts basis.
 
We plan to utilize the proceeds of the CapStone financing to fund the acquisition of assets and operations of the casino properties under the Purchase Opportunities.

ITEM 4(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures  
 
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2009, based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
We have identified certain matters that constitute deficiency (as defined under the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 2) in our internal controls over financial reporting. The deficiencies that we have identified relate to the fact that that our overall financial reporting structure, internal accounting information systems and current staffing levels are not sufficient to support our financial reporting requirements. We are working to remedy our deficiency.
 
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ending December 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
