Business Wire
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 net income of $77,000 or $0.01 per
share on revenues of $3.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended
February 29, 2008, which includes an income tax benefit of
$107,000, compared to a net loss of $304,000 or $0.05 per share on
revenues of $5.7 million for the same quarter in the prior fiscal
year. The company reported a loss from operations in the third
quarter of fiscal 2008 of $31,000, an improvement from an operating
loss of $478,000 for third quarter fiscal 2007, due in part to the
reduction of defense costs with the settlement of several legal
issues, a reduction in legal settlement reserves based on actual
settlement costs as well as placing an emphasis on the control of
operating costs. In February 2008, the company signed a project
management agreement with the City of Allen, Texas for the
development of a $52.5 million multi-use entertainment facility
with an anticipated average seating capacity of 6,200, along with
25 luxury suites. The company expects the City of Allen project to
yield in excess of $2.0 million in fees to two of its subsidiaries
over the course of the twenty months that began as of February
2008. With the anticipated opening of the City of Allen events
center, other company subsidiaries plan to serve a broad range of
functions. Encore Facility Management will be engaged for an
all-inclusive multi-year facility management agreement, Global
Entertainment Marketing Systems (GEMS) will market advertising and
marketing rights, Global Entertainment Ticketing (GetTix) will
provide exclusive ticketing services for all events, and the
Western Professional Hockey League d/b/a Central Hockey may award a
hockey franchise to serve as the events center�s primary tenant.
Ground breaking ceremonies are expected to take place in early June
2008 with an anticipated opening in October 2009. �I am pleased
with the improvement in our financial picture. While the City of
Allen project ramps up, the company continues to move forward on
the greater Wenatchee regional events center in the state of
Washington scheduled to open in the fall of 2008. Global Properties
I maintains active discussions and negotiations with several
mid-sized communities for the development of multi-purpose events
centers,� Richard Kozuback, president and chief executive officer
said. �Our ticketing company remains a strong profit center for our
operations with a base of clients many of which are outside the
Global network. The company�s hockey subsidiary operating as the
Central Hockey League completed a successful season of operation
and the teams are now in the midst of playoffs with the ultimate
winner to emerge as the Ray Miron�s President Cup Champions. �As
part of the company�s ongoing financial and business review of
operations the Board of Directors has determined to divest its
Cragar Industries subsidiary. Management will devote its attention
to building its core business activities through its inter-related
subsidiaries. Our management team and Board of Directors stay
focused on the need to produce profitable financial results for our
shareholders,� Kozuback concluded. Visit our web sites:
