Global Entertainment Corporation (AMEX: GEE) � a company engaged in
sports management, arena and related real estate development,
facility and venue management and marketing, venue ticketing and
brand licensing, today reported revenue for the second quarter
ended November 30, 2007 was $3,022,583, a decrease of 76.4%
compared to revenue of $12,833,023 in the second quarter of the
prior fiscal year. For the three-month period ended November 30,
2007, the company realized a net loss of $592,727 or $(.09) per
share compared to net income of $117,526 or $.02 per share for the
three-month period ended November 30, 2006. Revenue for the first
six months of fiscal 2008 was $6,495,859, a decrease of 60.6%
compared to revenue of $16,484,941 in the first six months of the
prior fiscal year. A net loss of $2,111,021 or $(.32) per share was
reported for the six-month period ended November 30, 2007 compared
to a net loss of $821,134 or $(.13) per share for the first six
month period of fiscal 2007. The net loss incurred by the company
in the second quarter fiscal 2008 was primarily attributable to a
$9,810,440 or 76.4% decrease in revenue largely at our ICC
subsidiary due to a reduction of projects under management. Also
contributing to the revenue decline was the agreed upon
cancellation of our facility management contract with the Chevrolet
Center in Youngstown, Ohio. The reduction in revenue in our second
quarter results points to the criticality of timing for major
development projects that are important for our revenue generation.
The loss for the six-month period ended November 30, 2007 includes
reserves set aside in the first quarter for the settlement of two
litigation issues, the associated legal fees and expense recorded
for the severance package of a former executive officer that total
approximately $1,300,000 or 61.6% of the total loss in the first
six months of fiscal year 2008. �The company is in various stages
of discussion, negotiation or final due diligence on several
projects previously announced and expects closure to occur on at
least one of the projects within the near future. We anticipated
the potential for new projects previously announced by Global
Properties I, our real estate development subsidiary responsible
for marketing events center projects to mid-sized communities
throughout the nation, would have moved at a faster pace thus
enabling us to maintain the momentum we established in fiscal 2007.
It is our intention to have multiple events center projects under
development at any given time,� stated Richard Kozuback, president
and chief executive officer. �ICC is currently managing the
development of an events center in Wenatchee, Washington. Once
completed, revenue generation will come on line by way of a
multi-year facility management agreement as well as exclusive
ticketing for all events to be handled by our GetTix.Net
subsidiary. In addition, we are in the final stage of negotiations
for our next development project that will include all aspects of
revenue generation for our multiple subsidiary companies. ICC will
head the design and manage the construction, a new hockey franchise
will be awarded by the Western Professional Hockey League d/b/a the
Central Hockey League and serve as the center�s primary tenant,
Encore Facility Management will engage in a multi-year agreement to
manage the building along with its licensing and advertising arm,
Global Entertainment Marketing Systems, which will handle all sales
and marketing services, and GetTix will provide exclusive ticketing
services for all events. �We recognize the impact to our financial
results associated with the variances in timing for the start of
major, long-term development projects and with the up-front
expenses related to the marketing program for Global Properties I.
We expect the diversification of our revenue streams, independent
of new development, to improve with our ability to enter into
multi-year facility management and ticketing agreements as each new
events center is completed. Our GetTix.Net subsidiary continues to
be a bright spot and produces the majority of its revenue from
clients outside the Global network of events centers. This
subsidiary has continued to post strong operational and financial
results. Management is committed to its responsibility and mission
to return the company to profitability,� concluded Kozuback. Visit
