NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1-BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Change in Fiscal Year
On September 3, 2009, the Management Board (the Board”) of IMG Resort and Casino resolved by unanimous consent to change the Company’s fiscal year, formerly ending April 30, to a fiscal year end, effective September 30, 2009. This change in fiscal year end makes the Company’s year end coincide with the Mescalero Apache Tribe’s fiscal year end.
This report contains unaudited three and nine months consolidated statements of operations for the period ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, an unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and includes unaudited consolidated balance sheet information as of September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010.
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, 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, which owns the Tribe’s ski resort, Ski Apache Resort (“Ski Apache”); 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 the Board.
The Resort, which opened for commercial business on March 15, 2005, is located on tribal land in Mescalero, New Mexico and consists of 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 interest payments on its 12% senior Notes due 2010 (the “Notes”) since November 15, 2008. This non-payment of interest constitutes an event of default under the Indenture governing the Notes.

INN OF THE MOUNTAIN GODS RESORT AND CASINO AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
The Company is currently in discussions with certain of its debtholders regarding these issues. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $240.1 million and a total deficit of approximately $56.1 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.
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 its debt service requirements and repayment obligations.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 recorded amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the revenues and expenses during the 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 Notes 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 $2.1 million as of September 30, 2009 and $0.7 million as of June 30, 2010.
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 (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) FASB ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment, (prior authoritative literature: SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets) (“FASB ASC 360-10 (SFAS No. 144)”) which established the approach to be used in the determination of impairment. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 360-10 (SFAS No. 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.
For the three months ended June 30, 2009, IMG Resort and Casino has incurred approximately $15,925 in costs associated with the storm recovery compared to $9,126 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. IMG Resort and Casino has incurred $293,118 in costs associated with the storm recovery for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $183,647 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, which included payroll, supplies and immediate repairs. (See Note 11)

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 $82.0 million at June 30, 2010, 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 $47.00 to $41.00 per $100 of principal amount during the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Contributed Capital
Contributed capital represents contributions from the Tribe and consists of (i) cash to fund certain construction and development of the IMG Resort and Casino, (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).
Revenues
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. The total accrual for jackpots and progressives was approximately $150,000 and $94,000 at September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively. 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 Casino’s Apache Spirit Club allows customers to earn “points” based on the volume of their gaming activity. These points are redeemable for certain promotion dollars, 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 retail value of these player rebates is recognized by IMG Resort and Casino as a reduction from gross revenue. The total vouchers recognized by IMG Resort and Casino were approximately $235,235 and $239,631 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The total vouchers recognized by IMG Resort and Casino were approximately $664,090 and $678,599 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The Apache Spirit Club liability is included in accrued expenses and totaled $884,821 at September 30, 2009 and $803,627 at June 30, 2010.

Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) FASB ASC 605-50, Revenue Recognition, Customer payments and Incentives (prior authoritative literature: FASB EITF Issue No. 00-14, Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives (“FASB ASC 605-50 (FAS Issue No. 00-14)”), 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 FASB ASC 605-50 (FAS Issue No. 00-14) on April 30, 2001. Our accounting policy related to free or discounted food and beverage and other services already complies with FASB ASC 605-50 (FAS Issue No. 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.
The estimated cost of providing such promotional allowances, as they relate to operations, was included in casino expenses as follows:

Marketing
IMG Resort and Casino’s marketing costs to outside parties are expensed as incurred and for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 were $2.1 million and for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 were $6.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively.
Tribal Taxes
IMG Resort and Casino is subject to Mescalero Apache Tribal taxes which employs an alternative minimum tax system. Other than a portion of the operations at Ski Apache, IMG Resort and Casino’s operations are not subject to 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. Under the tribe’s alternative minimum tax system, IMG Resort and Casino is assessed the greater of a fixed rate of $200,000 or the amount collected from sales taxes on a per month basis. In prior periods the taxes collected were included in net revenue and tax payments were included in expenses as opposed to being recorded as a liability and subsequent release of the liability. Since November 2009, taxes have been collected and recorded as a liability on IMG Resort and Casino’s balance sheet and are not included in net revenue. Excess tax amounts due under the alternative minimum tax system are expensed in the month they are due. The tax payment is made at the beginning of the month in which the taxes are being collected. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, IMG Resort and Casino collected $498,650 in taxes, paid the $600,000 alternative minimum tax due, and recorded $101,350 in alternative minimum tax expense. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, IMG Resort and Casino collected $1,384,896 in taxes, paid the $1,800,000 alternative minimum tax due, and recorded $415,104 in alternative minimum tax expense.

New Accounting Pronouncements
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 FASB ASC 825-10 (SFAS 159) early must also adopt all of FASB ASC 825-10’s (SFAS 157) 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 FASB ASC 350, Intangible- Goodwill and Other, (Prior authoritative literature: FASB SFAS 142-3: Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, issued April 2008) (“FASB ASC 350 (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 FASB ASC 350 (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 FASB ASC 350 (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 FASB ASC 350 (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”). FASB ASC 825-10 (FSP No. 107-1) extends the disclosure requirements of FASB ASC 825-10 (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 FASB ASC 825-10’s (SFAS No. 107) requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value. FASB ASC 825-10 (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.

The FASB issued FASB ASC 105-10, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (prior authoritative literature: FASB SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, issued June 2009) (“FASB ASC 106-10-65 (SFAS No. 168)”), which replaced SFAS No. 162, and established 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 superseded all then-existing non—SEC accounting and reporting standards. FASB ASC 106-10 (SFAS No. 168) is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of FASB ASC 105-10 (SFAS 168) did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-16, Entertainment-Casinos (Topic 924): Accruals for Casino Jackpot Liabilities, a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This guidance clarifies that an entity should not accrue jackpot liabilities (or portions thereof) before a jackpot is won if the entity can avoid paying that jackpot. Jackpots should be accrued and charged to revenue when an entity has the obligation to pay the jackpot. The guidance applies to both base and progressive jackpots. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. Accordingly, we will adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2011. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed 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. 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 $44,538 at September 30, 2009 and $90,049 at June 30, 2010.

NOTE 5—LONG-TERM DEBT
On November 3, 2003, IMG Resort and Casino issued $200.0 million of its 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 (the “Indenture”) 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 has not made the scheduled $12.0 million interest payments on the Company’s Notes since November 15, 2008. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Company had a 30 day grace period with respect to each interest payment but did not make these payments. Failure to make the May 15, 2009, November 15, 2009 and May 15, 2010 interest payments on or before June 15, 2009, December 15, 2009 and June 15, 2010, respectively, constituted separate events 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, the Company is obligated to pay penalty interest on overdue principal at the rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the applicable interest rate on the Notes (12%), and to pay interest on overdue installments of interest payable on the Notes at the same rate. As of June 30, 2010, total accrued interest was $44.2 million, of which $2.5 million was penalty interest accrued.
The Tribe has engaged financial advisors, and negotiations between the Mescalero Apache Tribal Council and holders of the Notes continue. 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. Due to the events of default, the Notes have been classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

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 (the “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 (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.
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 month and an annual regulatory fee of $100,000 paid in quarterly installments of $25,000 on the first day of each calendar month. As of September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010, the amounts payable to the State were $1,546,113 and $1,369,510, respectively, for regulatory fees.

The IMG Resort and Casino’s 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. Management of the Tribe and the IMG Resort and Casino have monitored their claims and loss experiences. Workers’ compensation insurance coverage, combined with the Tribe and IMG Resort and Casino’s causality and liability claims, have been below projected levels and have been properly accrued for.

Consulting Agreement and Management Agreement
On January 6, 2010, Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino (the “Registrant”), a tribal enterprise wholly-owned by the Tribe, a federally-recognized Indian tribe, along with the Registrant’s tribally-chartered subsidiaries, Casino Apache Travel Center and Ski Apache (collectively, the “Tribal Parties”), entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with WG-IMG, LLC (the “Manager”), a Nevada limited liability company. The majority owner of the Manager, William W. Warner, and the Tribe each signed a joinder to the Management Agreement. The Management Agreement became effective following approval by the National Indian Gaming Commission (“NIGC”) in a letter dated January 19, 2010.
The Management Agreement grants the Manager the exclusive right and obligation to manage, operate and maintain the casino and other businesses of the Registrant and its subsidiaries and to train the Tribe in the operation and maintenance thereof during the term of the Management Agreement. The Manager has a duty to physically maintain the facilities, operate the facilities consistent with “4-star/4-diamond” hospitality standards, pay bills and expenses, advertise and provide security. The Manager may enter into contracts on behalf of the Registrant or its subsidiaries provided that it receives approval in advance for contracts with a value, or potential exposure, in excess of $50,000 from the management board of the Registrant, as selected by the Tribe (the “Management Board”). The Manager is entitled to receive a management fee for its services under the Management Agreement. This management fee is calculated based on the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of the businesses of the Registrant, but shall be no less than $60,000 per month.
The term of the Management Agreement is five years from the date the NIGC approved the Management Agreement. The Tribal Parties may terminate the Management Agreement if, among other things, the Manager breaches the Management Agreement, including a change of ownership of the Manager. After two years, the Registrant may terminate the Management Agreement by paying the Manager an amount equal to the discounted value of the future fees the Manager was entitled to receive under the Management Agreement. The Manager may terminate the Management Agreement if, among other things, a Tribal Party fails to pay any amount due to the Manager, if a Tribal Party breaches the Management Agreement, or if the Manager does not receive its minimal monthly fee for three consecutive months. The Manager also has the right to terminate the Management Agreement within 60 days of a legally required suspension of gaming operations.
The foregoing description of the Management Agreement is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Management Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 2010.

The IMG Resort and Casino carries an insurance policy with a $100,000 deductible on all property losses. The actual insured value of the maintenance building is $1,012,492. The contents have an insured value of $62,312. IMG Resort and Casino believes that the replacement costs for the damaged building, its contents, other large equipment, and vehicles affected are adequately insured to cover the replacement costs and/or actual cash value after the deductible is paid.
NOTE 12 — OPERATING SEGMENTS
The IMG Resort and Casino has four operating segments and a consolidating segment: Gaming at the IMG Resort and Casino, 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. Due to the change in fiscal year, 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.

NOTE 13—CONSOLIDATING INFORMATION
In connection with IMG Resort and Casino’s issuance in November 2003 of the Notes, IMG Resort and Casino’s subsidiaries, Casino Apache, the Inn, the Travel Center and Ski Apache (“wholly-owned Guarantors”) have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Notes. These guarantees were secured only until the completion of the Resort in 2005 and thereafter unsecured.
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 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 following consolidating information is presented as of September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010.

FORWARD—LOOKING STATEMENTS
     This Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements regarding our expected financial condition, results of operations, business, strategies and financing plans under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. In addition, in those and other portions of this Form 10-Q, the words “anticipate,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “will,” “designed,” “estimate,” “adjust” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, indicate forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may prove to be incorrect. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements disclosed in this Form 10-Q include, without limitation, risks relating to the following: (a) our levels of leverage and ability to meet our debt service obligations; (b) our financial performance; (c) restrictive covenants in our debt instruments; (d) realizing the benefits of our business plan and business strategies; (e) changes in gaming laws or regulations, including potential legalization of gaming in certain jurisdictions; (f) the impact of competition in our markets; (g) our ability to attract increasing numbers of customers; and (h) general local, domestic and global economic conditions.
     You are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by our cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are made only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
     Reference in this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q” or this “Report”) to (a) the “Tribe” refers to the Mescalero Apache Tribe, a federally recognized Indian tribe, (b) “IMG Resort and Casino” or “the Company” refers to Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino, a business enterprise of the Tribe, (c) “Resort” refers to the Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort and Casino, (d) “Casino Apache” refers to Casino Apache, a business enterprise of the Tribe, (e) the “Inn” refers to Inn of the Mountain Gods, a business enterprise of the Tribe, (f) the “Travel Center” refers to Casino Apache Travel Center, a business enterprise of the Tribe and (g) “Ski Apache” refers to Ski Apache, a business enterprise of the Tribe. Each of Casino Apache, the Inn, the Travel Center and Ski Apache is a wholly-owned subsidiary of IMG Resort and Casino. Reference in this Form 10-Q to “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to IMG Resort and Casino.
     On September 3, 2009, the Board of IMG Resort and Casino resolved by unanimous consent to change the Company’s fiscal year, formerly ending April 30, to a fiscal year ending September 30. This change in fiscal year makes the Company’s year-end coincide with the Tribe’s fiscal year end. This quarterly report covers the three month period ended June 30, 2010.
     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 interest payments on its 12% senior notes due 2010 (the “Notes”) since November 15, 2008. These non-payments of interest constituted events of default under the Indenture governing the Notes. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had negative working capital of $226 million and a total deficit of approximately $35.3 million. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $240.1 million and a total deficit of approximately $56.1 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 have not made the scheduled $12.0 million interest payments on the Notes since November 15, 2008. Our failure to make the interest payments on or before June 15, 2009, December 15, 2009 and June 15, 2010 constituted separate events of default under the Indenture governing the 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 principal at the rate equal to 1% per

28


Table of Contents

annum in excess of the applicable interest rate on the Notes (12%), and to pay interest on overdue installments of interest payable on the Notes at the same rate. The Tribe has engaged financial advisors, and negotiations between the Mescalero Apache Tribal Council and holders of the Notes continue. If the 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.
     Historically, we have not generated sufficient cash flow from operations to satisfy our capital requirements and have instead relied upon debt financing arrangements to satisfy such requirements. The current cash flows and capital resources may be insufficient to meet both our short and long-term debt obligations and commitments, and we may be forced to reduce or delay activities and capital expenditures if we are unable to refinance our debt. In the event that we are unable to refinance or restructure our debt, we will be left without sufficient liquidity and will not be able to meet our 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.
     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 additional borrowings 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 (“IGRA”), our gaming compact with the State of New Mexico and a Tribal gaming ordinance. As of June 30, 2010, we had 55,000-square feet of combined gaming space featuring 1,309 slot machines and 31 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 which operates as a seasonal dining alternative catering primarily to guests at the Resort’s golf course. 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 which has 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 and boating and fishing on Lake Mescalero. 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 and ski shop, as well as a 2,500-square foot convenience store, a fuel station with 12 gasoline and eight diesel pumping stations at the Casino Apache Travel Center and laundry and shower facilities.
     Market Conditions and Outlook. The strength of the economy in our target market is the primary determinant of our customer volume and revenue. Gaming and other leisure activities we offer represent discretionary expenditures and participation in such activities may decline during economic downturns, during which consumers generally earn less disposable income. These and other uncertainties have and could continue to adversely affect our results of operations.
     Uncertain economic conditions in our target markets continue to affect our customers’ spending levels. Travel and travel-related expenditures have been particularly affected as businesses and consumers have altered their spending patterns which have led to decreases in visitor volumes and customer spending. In addition, reductions in discretionary consumer spending have resulted in lower spend per visit and lower hotel occupancy rates, which has adversely affected our revenues. We believe we will continue to experience challenges in these areas until the consumer confidence and discretionary spending increases.
     During periods of economic difficulty such as the current period, our revenues may decrease while some of our costs remain fixed or even increase, resulting in decreased earnings and cash flow. However, in response to these challenges, we have increasingly focused on managing costs and continue to review all areas of operations for efficiencies. In particular, we have implemented several steps intended to control variable costs to attempt to match expected customer volumes. We continually manage staffing levels for all our operations and have reduced our salaried management positions. In addition, we suspended Company contributions to our 401(k) plan and restructured our benefit plans, rescinded cost of living increases for employees in 2008 and matching 401(k) plan contributions.
     Revenue Drivers. Our primary revenue driver is the strength of the economy in our target markets. Our primary target markets are western Texas and eastern New Mexico, where oil and gas is the predominant industry. As oil and gas prices have decreased in recent periods, we have experienced challenges in attracting customers from these areas.
     Our revenues are also impacted by weather and our direct marketing activities. In recent years, snowfall was scarce and ski revenue was depressed during those years. However, we experienced strong snowfall during the winter of 2009-2010, which increased revenue at Ski Apache through increased customer volume and spending. We have also recently implemented several new direct marketing strategies. We believe these efforts have resulted in increased customer volumes in 2010. As we continue to sharpen our understanding of our customer base, we anticipate improved results from our marketing activities.
     Expense Drivers. Salaries and employee costs represent our primary expenses. We typically experience our highest customer volumes during the summer and winter months. We monitor our staffing levels and overtime activity on a weekly basis to attempt to match our staffing levels to expected customer volume.
     Other significant variable expenses consist of food and beverage and marketing expenses. Marketing expenses are directly tied to initiatives to increase revenues and, as such, these expenses typically fluctuate with revenue levels. Food and beverage expenses are driven primarily by fluctuations in customer volume and spend as well as prices in underlying commodities and services. We recently commenced a review of our vendor contracts to attempt to improve pricing, service, and flexibility.
     Collection of Tribal Taxes. We collect tribal taxes on behalf of the Tribe and send these amounts, plus any gross-up under the Tribe’s alternative minimum tax system, to the Tribe. In prior periods the tribal taxes collected were included in net revenue and tribal tax payments (including any gross-up under the Tribe’s alternative minimum tax system) were included in expenses as opposed to being recorded as a liability and subsequent release of the liability. Since November 2009, tribal taxes have been collected and recorded as a liability on our balance sheet and are not included in net revenue. Similarly, since November 2009, tribal tax payments (including any gross-up under the Tribe’s alternative minimum tax system) have been paid and recorded as a subsequent release of a liability on our balance sheet and are not included in expenses. See note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies
     The preparation of 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 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. We periodically reward rooms and other promotions, including Apache Spirit Club points and gift certificates, to our customers. The retail value of these player rebates are recognized by us 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”) FASB ASC 605-50, Revenue Recognition, Customer payments and Incentives (prior authoritative literature: FASB EITF Issue No. 00-14, Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives)(“FASB ASC 605-50 (FAS Issue No. 00-14)”), 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 FASB ASC 605-50 (FAS Issue No. 00-14) on April 30, 2001. Our accounting policy related to free or discounted food and beverage and other services already complies with FASB ASC 605-50 (FAS Issue No. 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 our gaming operations, including labor costs for casino-based supply costs, certain and other direct operating costs (including costs in operating our players’ clubs) of the casinos. Food and beverage direct costs are comprised of all costs of our food and beverage operations, including labor costs for personnel employed by our restaurants and food and beverage, supply costs for all food and beverages served in the casinos or sold in our 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, 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. Legal expenses in the current year have increased significantly due to the ongoing negotiations with the holders of the Notes.
     Deferred Financing and Refinancing Costs. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Notes 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

31

interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs totaled $2.1 million as of September 30, 2009 and $0.7 million as of June 30, 2010.
     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 FASB ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment, (prior authoritative literature SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets) (“FASB ASC 360-10 (SFAS No. 144)”), which established the approach to be used in the determination of impairment.
     Under the provisions of FASB ASC 360-10 (SFAS No. 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.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010.
     Net Revenues. Net revenues increased $0.1 million, to $26.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $26.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Revenue increases were driven by a $0.7 million increase in Gaming revenues, as well as a $0.2 million increase in Recreation and Other revenues resulting from an increase in customer volume and spend at our Ski Apache recreation facilities. The increases in revenues from Ski Apache were due to an increase in natural snowfall and our ability to commence skiing operations earlier compared to the previous year. These increases were partially offset by decreases in Hotel revenues and Food and Beverage revenues of $0.5 million as a direct result of the change in accounting for Tribal Taxes as described in note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this 10-Q. In prior periods the taxes collected were included in net revenue and tax payments were included in expenses as opposed to being recorded as a liability and subsequent release of the liability. Since November 2009, taxes have been collected and recorded as a liability on IMG Resort and Casino’s balance sheet and are not included in net revenue. In addition, Gaming revenues, Food and Beverage revenues and Hotel revenues have been adversely impacted by the decrease in leisure and business travel, as well as reduced consumer spending of our guests.
     Gaming. Net Gaming revenues increased $0.7 million to $19.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $18.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, due to an increase in slot revenue partially offset by a decrease in table games. Slot revenues increased to $16.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $0.9 million. Slot win per unit, per day was $142 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $134 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 while the weighted average number of machines declined to 1,309 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from 1,317 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 attributable to a repositioning of the gaming floor at each property. Table games revenue decreased $0.2 million to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Daily Net Win per Table for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $659 as compared to $586 for the same period a year ago, a 12% increase, due to a reduction in tables resulting from the repositioning of the gaming floors of both properties. Slot revenue increases were a result of a combination of direct marketing efforts and the repositioning of IMG Resort and Casino’s gaming floors in April 2010.
     Hotel. Hotel revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased $0.6 million to $2.3 million from $2.9 million from the three months ended June 30, 2009. Of this decrease, $0.3 million was related to a change in accounting for Tribal Taxes described in note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this 10-Q. In prior periods the taxes collected were included in net revenue and tax payments were included in expenses as opposed to being recorded as a liability and subsequent release of the liability. Since November 2009, taxes have been collected and recorded as a liability on IMG Resort and Casino’s balance sheet and are not included in net revenue. This reduction in revenues due to the accounting change in Tribal Taxes was partially offset by a corresponding decrease in operating expenses. In addition to this accounting change, Hotel revenues have been adversely affected by a decrease in leisure and business spending by our guests. Occupancy rates averaged 80%, an increase of 2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same three month period in the prior year. The average daily rate decreased to $137,

32


Table of Contents

for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $164 for the same period a year ago. Revenue per available room decreased to $110 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $128 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Both average daily rate and revenue per available room were negatively impacted by the change in accounting for Tribal Taxes.
     Food and Beverage. Food and Beverage revenues decreased $0.2 million, or 6%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Of this decrease, $0.2 million was related to a change in accounting for Tribal Taxes described in note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. In prior periods the taxes collected were included in net revenue and tax payments were included in expenses as opposed to being recorded as a liability and subsequent release of the liability. Since November 2009, taxes have been collected and recorded as a liability on IMG Resort and Casino’s balance sheet and are not included in net revenue. This reduction in revenues due to the accounting change in Tribal Taxes was partially offset by a corresponding decrease in operating expenses.
     Recreation and Other. Recreation and Other revenues increased $0.2 million, or 8% to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to an increase in customer volume at our Ski Apache recreation facilities in April 2010, compared to the same period in 2009.
     Promotional Allowances. Promotional Allowances remained flat at $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
     Total Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased $1.7 million to $22.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $20.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This increase was driven by an increase in legal and restructuring related costs of $0.9 million, as well as a $0.7 million increase in expenses related to benefits, salaries, wages and cost of sales related to Food and Beverage at Ski Apache, compared to the same period last year.
     Gaming. Gaming expenses increased to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, due to an increase in payroll expenses.
     Hotel. Hotel expenses remained flat at $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
     Food and Beverage. Food and Beverage expenses increased $0.4 million, or 14%, to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Of this increase, $ million was related to Food and Beverage operations at Ski Apache and is a direct result of increased revenues.
     Recreation and Other. Recreation and Other costs increased $0.3 million, or 14% to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, due to an increase in customer volume and spending at our Ski Apache recreation facilities.
     Marketing. Marketing costs remained flat at $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Between 2009 and 2010, marketing efforts changed and more emphasis was placed on direct mail efforts. Although Marketing costs remained flat, the composition of Marketing costs shifted away from broad-based marketing efforts to more targeted, database-oriented efforts.
     General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, due to a decrease in Tribal Regulatory fees.
     Management Fees. Since January 20, 2010, following approval by the NIGC of our management agreement with Warner Gaming, these expenses include management fees paid under our management agreement. These expenses were $414,011 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
     Restructuring Costs. Restructuring costs were $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $0.0 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Restructuring costs include legal and other costs related to the restructuring of our debt.

     Depreciation. Depreciation expense decreased $0.3 million to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to our property and equipment assets being fully depreciated.
     Insurance Reimbursement. Insurance reimbursements were $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $134,296 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. 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 $4.7 million of coverage for the damage that occurred as a result of the flooding. Additionally, FEMA deemed the area a Federal Disaster area and has assured financial assistance of at least the deductible on our insurance policy, which is $100,000.
     Storm Costs. Storm costs were $9,126 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $15,925 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Storm costs consisted of costs related to damage caused by Hurricane Dolly in 2008.
     Other Income (Expenses). Other non-operating expenses were $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Other income (expenses) is comprised primarily of interest income and interest expense, along with other expenses.
Nine Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2010.
     Net Revenues. Net revenues increased $2.2 million, or 3%, to $81.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from $79.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Revenue increases were driven by a $0.5 million increase in Food and Beverage revenues, as well as a $3.7 million increase in Recreation and Other revenues resulting from an increase in customer volume and spend at our Ski Apache recreation facilities. Ski Apache benefitted from an increase in natural snowfall and our ability to commence operations earlier than the prior year. Hotel revenues and Food and Beverage revenues declined by $1.4 million as a direct result of the change in accounting for Tribal Taxes as described in note 1 of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this 10-Q. In prior periods the taxes collected were included in net revenue and tax payments were included in expenses as opposed to being recorded as a liability and subsequent release of the liability. Since November 2009, taxes have been collected and recorded as a liability on IMG Resort and Casino’s balance sheet and are not included in net revenue. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, Gaming revenues were $52.1 million, a decrease of $0.5 million from the prior year. While increased snowfall benefits operations at Ski Apache, these weather conditions adversely affected Gaming revenues as driving to the facilities was more difficult. In addition to each of the factors described above, we have noted a decrease in leisure and business travel and discretionary spending from our guests.
     Gaming. Net gaming revenues decreased $0.5 million to $52.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from $52.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. This can be attributed to the factors described above, including the adverse weather conditions, particularly during the three months ended March 31, 2010, and a decrease in discretionary spending by our guests. Slot revenues increased $0.3 million to $45.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from $45.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Slot win per unit, per day was $129 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $120 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009; the weighted average number of machines declined to 1,283 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from 1,376 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 due to a repositioning of the gaming floor at each property. Table games revenue decreased $0.9 million to $6.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from $7.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Daily Net Win per Table for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was $590 as compared to $545 for the same period a year ago, an 8% increase, due to a reduction in tables, related to the repositioning of the gaming floors of both properties. Slot revenue increases were a result of a combination of direct marketing efforts and the repositioning of IMG Resort and Casino’s gaming floors in April 2010.
     Hotel. Hotel revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 decreased $1.4 million to $6.7 million from $8.1 million from the nine months ended June 30, 2009.

payments were included in expenses as opposed to being recorded as a liability and subsequent release of the liability. Since November 2009, taxes have been collected and recorded as a liability on IMG Resort and Casino’s balance sheet and are not included in net revenue. This reduction related to the accounting for Tribal Taxes was offset by a corresponding decrease in operating expenses. The remaining decline in revenues is due to an overall decrease in leisure and business travel and a reduction in discretionary spending by our guests. Occupancy rates averaged 75%, an increase of 12%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, the average daily rate decreased to $141, for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $167 for the same period a year ago. Revenue per available room decreased to $106 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from $112 for the nine months ended June 30, 2009.

Food and Beverage revenues increased $0.5 million, or 6%, to $9.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from $8.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to an increase in customer volume and spend at our Ski Apache recreation facilities. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, these increases were due to an increase in natural snowfall and our ability to commence operations at Ski Apache earlier compared to the previous year. In addition, Food and Beverage revenues increased as a result of higher customer volumes at IMG Resort and Casino.
     Recreation and Other. Recreation and Other revenues increased $3.7 million, or 34% to $14.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $10.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 due to an increase in customer volume at our Ski Apache recreation facilities for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2009.

This increase was driven by increases in legal and other costs of $1.7 million related to the restructuring of our debt, $0.6 million in management fees and an increase of $1.2 million related to benefits, salaries and wages and Food and Beverage cost of sales at Ski Apache compared to the same period last year.
     Gaming. Gaming expenses decreased $1.5 million, or 8%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 to $16.9 million from $18.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 due to a decrease in head count, wages, benefits, supplies and regulatory fees associated with a decrease in gaming revenue as well as cost containment efforts.
     Hotel. Hotel expenses decreased $0.4 million to $2.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from $3.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, resulting from a decrease in cost of sales, salaries, wages, benefits and other expense.

General and administrative expenses decreased $1.6 million to $11.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from $13.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 due to a decrease in benefits, salaries and wages of $0.6 million, repairs and maintenance $0.3 million and liability insurance of $0.9 million. These decreases were partially off set by an increase in utilities expense of $0.2 million.
     Management Fees.

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 $4.7 million of coverage for the damage that occurred as a result of the flooding.

     Our ability to fund our operations, make planned capital expenditures, and make scheduled payments depends on our ability to refinance our long-term debt, as well as 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.
     We currently have outstanding $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 12% Senior Notes due 2010. We have not made the scheduled $12.0 million interest payments on the Notes since November 15, 2008.
     Additionally, our ability to incur additional indebtedness is limited under the terms of the Indenture governing the Notes. If our 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 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 June 30, 2010, accrued interest payable on the Notes was $44.2 million, including penalty interest as described below.
     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 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.
     We have not made the scheduled $12.0 million interest payments on the Notes since November 15, 2008. Our failure to make the interest payments on or before June 15, 2009, December 15, 2009 and June 15, 2010 constituted separate events of default under the Indenture governing the 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 penalty interest on overdue principal at the rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the applicable interest rate on the Notes (12%), and to pay interest on overdue installments of interest payable on the Notes at the same rate. As of June 30, 2010 the penalty interest accrued as a result was $2,476,932.
     The Tribe has engaged financial advisors, and negotiations between the Mescalero Apache Tribal Council and holders of the Notes continue. 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 and may enforce their rights to the collateral securing the loan. Due to the events of default, the Notes have been classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
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, (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 June 30, 2010, there was approximately $0.3 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 June 30, 2010, approximately $35,286 remains outstanding.
     As discussed above, we have not made the scheduled $12.0 million interest payments on the Notes since November 15, 2008. If the 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.
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 August 5, 2010, Standard and Poor’s withdrew its ‘D’ issuer credit and issue-level ratings for IMG Resort and Casino.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     As of June 30, 2010, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that affect our financial condition, liquidity and results of operation.
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 an unincorporated Tribal business enterprise, directly 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 June 30, 2010 or 2009, nor is it anticipated that 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 June 30, 2010, we had no variable rate debt outstanding.
     As of June 30, 2010, we held no derivative instruments.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
