Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1.   Basis of Presentation

The interim financial information included herein is unaudited. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our condensed consolidated balance sheets at JanuaryOctober 31, 2018 and April 30, 2017,2018, condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and ninesix months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2018 and 2017, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the ninesix months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2018 and 2017. Although we believe the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the interim information presented not misleading, certain information relating to our organization and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 20172018 and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and ninesix months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, investments, intangible assets and goodwill, property, plant and equipment, income taxes, employment benefits and contingent liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior year financial information to the current period presentation. Those reclassifications did not impact operating income, net income, working capital or stockholders’ equity. As of July 27, 2018, Club Fortune met the requirements for presentation as assets held for sale and discontinued operations under generally accepted accounting principles (see Note 13). Accordingly, the operations of Club Fortune have been classified as discontinued operations and Club Fortune’s assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale for all periods presented.

Note 2.Critical     Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

We recordOn May 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) using a modified retrospective approach. See Note 2, “New Accounting Pronouncements and Legislation Issued,” for a discussion of the new revenue standard and its impact on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, complimentary revenues from casino operations. The retail value ofpertaining to food and beverage and other services furnished to guests without charge iswere included in gross revenuerevenues and deducted as promotional allowances. Netexcluded from net revenues do not include the retail amount of food, beverage and other items provided gratuitously to customers. These amounts are included inthrough promotional allowances in the accompanying condensed consolidated statementsunaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of operations. We recordOperations. Subsequent to the redemptionadoption of couponsASC 606, complimentary revenues are included in food and pointsbeverage, and other revenues, as appropriate, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Complimentary other revenues, whether provided as nondiscretionary complimentaries or discretionary complimentaries, were as follows for cash as a reduction of revenue. The estimated retail value of providing such promotional allowances is as follows:continuing operations:

The estimated cost of providing such complimentary services that is included in casino expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows:

Fair Value

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy categorizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value into one of three different levels depending on the observability of the inputs employed in the measurement. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and for which we make our own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets and liabilities.

The following describes the valuation methodologies used by us to measure fair value:

Real estate held for sale is recorded at fair value less selling costs.

Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are recorded at carrying value and tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, using projections of discounted future cash flows.

Interest rate swaps are adjusted on a recurring basis pursuant to accounting standards for fair value measurements. We categorize our interest rate swap as Level 2 for fair value measurement.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk are primarily notes receivable, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, and long term debt. Management performs periodic evaluations of the collectability of these notes and accounts receivable. Our cash deposits are held with large, well-known financial institutions, and, at times, such deposits may be in excess of the federally insured limit. The recorded value of cash, accounts receivable and payable, approximate fair value based on their short term nature; the recorded value of long term debt approximates fair value as interest rates approximate current market rates.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Legislation Issued

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended accounting guidance that changes the accounting for leases and requires expanded disclosures about leasing activities. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, at the commencement date for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. Lessor accounting will remain largely unchanged, other than certain targeted improvements intended to align lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and with the updated revenue recognition guidance. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2018, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which introduced a new accounting standard forrelated to revenue recognition, which requires entities to recognizeASC 606. Under ASC 606, recognition of revenue occurs when it transfersa customer obtains control of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitledreceive in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard supersedes the existing accounting guidance for revenue recognition, including industry-specific guidance, and amends certain accounting guidance for recognition of gains and losses on the transfer of non-financial assets. For public companies,In addition, the new guidance isrevenue standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the implementation of ASC 606 to be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods)fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.

The Company plans to adopt this standard using the full retrospective method inadopted ASC 606 during the first quarter 2019 using the modified retrospective approach to all contracts as of fiscal 2019. Thisthe date of initial application, which was May 1, 2018. Adoption of the new revenue standard will affectprincipally affected (1) how we measure the Company’s accounting policy in relationliability associated with our loyalty program and (2) the classification and, as it related to the non-discretionarymeasurement of revenues and expenses between gaming; food and beverage; and retail, and other. The modified retrospective approach required the Company to recognize the impact of adopting ASC 606 as a cumulative effect adjustment to our beginning retained earnings, which was a decrease of $35,425 as of May 1, 2018. The cumulative effect adjustment related exclusively to re-measuring the liability associated with the loyalty program transactions. Based onfrom a clarification fromcost approach to an approach that reflects the FASB, complementary revenue represents a consideration payable to a customer and therefore is to be treated as a deduction to revenue at the timeestimated stand alone selling price (SSP) of the transactionreward credits and atcertain tier benefits. In addition, the price of the complementary being offered. The Company expects the majority of such amounts will offset casino revenues. The standard also changes the presentation of promotional allowances to be shown as a direct reduction of gross revenues instead of being presented as a separate line on the Statement of Operations. The Company also expects the accounting for our player program to be impacted, with possible changes to the timing and/or classification of certain transactions within revenues and between revenues and operating expenses as we transition from the immediate revenue/cost accrual model to the deferred revenue model. Additionally,modified retrospective approach required the Company expectsto provide disclosures describing the estimated costs of providing promotional allowances will no longer be allocated primarily to casino expenses. The quantitative effects of these changes have not yet been determined and are still being analyzed.financial statement line items impacted by the new revenue standard (see below).

Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, we determined our liability for loyalty reward credits based on the estimated costs of goods and services to be provided and estimated redemption rates. Upon adoption of ASC 606, points awarded under our loyalty program constitute a material right and, as such, represent a performance obligation associated with the gaming contracts. Therefore, ASC 606 required us to allocate the revenues associated with the players’ activity between gaming revenue and the estimated SSP of the reward credits.

In January 2017,addition to the above, prior to the adoption of ASC 606, complimentary revenues pertaining to food and beverage and retail were included in gross revenues and excluded from net revenues through promotional allowances in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the estimated costs of providing such complimentary goods and services were included as gaming expenses in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. However, subsequent to the adoption of ASC 606, food and beverage, and other services furnished to our guests on a complimentary basis is measured at the estimated SSP and included as revenues within food and beverage and other as appropriate, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, with a corresponding decrease in gaming revenues. Additionally, subsequent to the adoption of ASC 606, the costs of providing such complimentary goods and services is included as expenses within food and beverage and other as appropriate, in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The amount by which each line item in continuing operations in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 2018 was affected by the new revenue standard as compared with the accounting guidance that was in effect before the change was as follows:

Restricted Cash

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards UpdateASU No. 2017-04 ("2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash (Topic 230), which amends the existing guidance relating to the disclosure of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. The ASU 2017-04") "Intangibles - Goodwillrequires that amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and Other (Topic 350): Simplifyingcash equivalents when reconciling the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment." ASU 2017-04 removesbeginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amountstatement of goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after 15 December 2019, and early adoption is permitted.cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance on May 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis and the updated disclosures are reflected for the periods presented in the second quarterCondensed Consolidated Statements of fiscal 2018 with no material impact on its financial position or resultsCash Flows. For the six months ended October 31, 2017, the change in restricted cash of operations.($49,494) was previously reported within net cash provided by operating activities.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting guidance is currently under study by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed accounting guidance, the Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of such proposed accounting guidance would have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3.Restricted Cash

As of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018 and April 30, 2017,2018, we maintained $2,058,849$2,726,550 and $1,994,312,$2,369,063, respectively, in restricted cash, which consists of player-supported jackpot funds for our Washington operations.

Note 4.Notes Receivable

G Investments, LLC

As of January 31, 2018 and April 30, 2017, we had a note receivable of $35,205 and $383,093, respectively, with no valuation allowance, due from G Investments, LLC resulting from the sale of the Colorado Grande Casino on May 25, 2012. The initial amount was $2,300,000, requiring $40,000 monthly payments, bearing interest at 6% per annum through the amended maturity date of February of 2018, and is secured with the assets of the Colorado Grande Casino, pledge of membership interest in G Investments, LLC (“GI”), and a personal guaranty by GI’s principal. This note receivable was paid as of February 2018.

Note 5.4.     Goodwill and Intangible Assets

In connection with our acquisitions of the Washington mini-casinos on May 12, 2009, July 23, 2010 and July 18, 2011, the South Dakota slot route on January 27, 2012, and the Club Fortune Casino in Nevada on December 1, 2015, we have goodwill and intangible assets of $20,631,943,$16,366,658, net of amortization for intangible assets with finite lives.

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets for the ninesix months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2018, is as follows:

Goodwill and net intangibles assets by segment as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018, are as follows:

Intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight line basis over the useful lives of the assets. State gaming registration and trade names are not amortizable. A summary of intangible assets and accumulated amortization as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018, are as follows:

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of net assets acquired. Goodwill for our Nevada operations was $2.8$2.7 million as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018. In the third quarter of 2018 due to continued lower than expected results for our Nevada reporting unit, we determined sufficient indication existed to require performance of an interim goodwill impairment analysis for the Nevada reporting unit.  The Company performed a preliminary impairment assessment of goodwill associated with the Nevada operations as of January 31, 2018. The fair value calculation includes multiple assumptions and estimates, including the projected cash flows and discount rates. Changes in these assumptions and estimates could result in goodwill impairment that could materially adversely impact our financial position or results of operations.  Based on the preliminary impairment assessment performed, no impairment charge was required.(see Note 13).

The remaining weighted average useful life of acquired intangibles is 3.7 years for customer relationships and 0.8 years for non-compete agreements. The estimated future annual amortization of intangible assets, which excludes trade names and state gaming registration, is as follows:

Note 5.Property and Equipment

Property and equipment at October 31, 2018 and April 30, 2018, consist of the following:

Note 6. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment at January 31, 2018 and April 30, 2017, consist of the following:

Note 7.Long-Term Debt

Our long-term financing obligations are as follows:

On November 30, 2015, the Company amended its existing credit agreement with Mutual of Omaha Bank to increase the lending commitment to $23 million.  The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Facility”) matures on November 30, 2020, and is secured by liens on substantially all of the real and personal property of the Company and its subsidiaries. The interest rate on the borrowing is based on LIBOR plus an Applicable Margin, determined quarterly beginning April 1, 2016, based on the total leverage ratio for the trailing twelve months. The interest rate on the balance as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018, is 4.05%4.79%. In addition, the Company was required to fix the interest rate on at least 50% of the credit facility through a swap agreement. As of October 31, 2018, we have $8.5 million available to borrow per the Credit Agreement.

As of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018, principal reductions due on the Credit Facility are as follows:

The unamortized debt discount above consists of debt costs paid directly to the lender. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the period of the Credit Facility through interest expense.

During the quarter, we paid $1.3 million to reduce the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility. As of January 31, 2018, we have $8.0 million available to borrow per the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants for a facility of this nature, including, but not limited to, covenants requiring the preservation and maintenance of the Company’s assets and covenants restricting our ability to merge, transfer ownership, incur additional indebtedness, encumber assets and make certain investments.  The Credit Facility also contains covenants requiring the Company to maintain certain financial ratios including a maximum total leverage ratio of 2.75 to 1.00 from February 1, 2017 through January 31, 2018, and 2.50 to 1.00 from February 1, 2018 until maturity; and lease adjusted fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.15 to 1.00. We are in compliance with the covenant requirements of the Credit Facility as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018.

Note 8.7. Interest Rate Swap

We are required by the Credit Facility to have a secured interest rate swap for at least 50% of the Credit Facility commitment. On December 28, 2015, the Company entered into a swap transaction with Mutual of Omaha Bank (“MOOB”), which has a calculation period as of the tenth day of each month through the maturity date of the Credit Facility. As of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018, the Company had one outstanding interest rate swap with MOOB with a notional amount of $8,687,500$7,750,000 at a swap rate of 1.77%, which as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018, effectively converts $8,687,500 of our floating-rate debt to a synthetic fixed rate of 4.27%. Under the terms of the swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of 1.77% and a receives variable rate based on one-month LIBOR as of the first day of each floating-rate calculation period. Under the International Swap Dealers Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) confirmation, the floating index as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018 is set at 1.55%2.29%.

The Company did not designate the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge and the interest rate swap did not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Topic 815. Changes in our interest rate swap fair value are recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Each quarter, the Company receives fair value statements from the counterparty, MOOB. The fair value of the interest rate swap is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including forward interest rate curves. To comply with the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. As a result of our evaluation of our interest rate swap as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018, we recorded a $91,986$4,831 and $133,444$9,020 increase in our interest rate swap fair value for the three and ninesix months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2018, respectively.2018. As of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018 and April 30, 2017,2018, our interest rate swap fair value is a $97,097$143,692 and $134,672 asset, and $36,346 liability, respectively, which is included in other assets as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018 and other long-term liabilities as of April 30, 20172018 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 9.8. Equity Transactions and Stock Option Plan

We have obligations under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). On April 14, 2009, our shareholders approved the 2009 Plan providing for the granting of awards to our directors, officers, employees and independent contractors. The number of common stock shares reserved for issuance under the 2009 Plan is 1,750,000 shares. The 2009 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors. The Committee has complete discretion under the plan regarding the vesting and service requirements, exercise price and other conditions. Under the 2009 Plan, the Committee is authorized to grant the following types of awards:

Our practice has been to issue new or treasury shares upon the exercise of stock options. Stock option rights granted under the 2009 Plan generally have 5 or 10 year terms and vest in two or three equal annual installments, with some options grants providing for immediate vesting for a portion of the grant.

InDuring the quarter ended October of 2017, the Committee granted 26,430 shares of stock to the board of directors as $10,000 per director in annual compensation paid in the form of a stock grant with immediate vesting. The Committee also granted 57,000 shares of restricted stock in October 2017 to certain management to vest over three years. As of January 31, 2018, there was $135,278were no stock grants or forfeitures. We issued 27,200 shares for stock grants previously issued which vested during the quarter. As of October 31, 2018, there were 42,000 unvested stock grants at a weighted average $2.26 value per share, as well as $91,425 of unamortized compensation cost related to stock grants, which is expected to be recognized over approximately 2.82.0 years. A summary of stock grant activity under our share-based payment plan for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 is presented below:Also see Subsequent Events footnote.

A summary of stock option activity under our share-based payment plan for the ninethree months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2018 is presented below:

Compensation cost for stock options granted is based on the fair value of each award, measured by applying the Black-Scholes model. As of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018, there was no unamortized compensation cost related to stock options.

Treasury Stock

In July 2016, our board of directors approved a $2.0 million stock repurchase program to purchase our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time, in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, loan covenants and other factors. The repurchase plan does not obligate the Company to acquire any specified number or value of common stock. During the three months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2018, the Company did not repurchase any shares. During the nine months ended January 31, 2018, the Company repurchased 788,301 shares at a weighted average price of $2.16 per share, costing $1,701,597 (including commissions). As of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018, $1.7 million remains available under the share repurchase authorization.

Warrants

On November 7, 2011, we closed on the sale of 2,625,652 shares of our common stock to certain investors through a registered direct offering. In addition, for each share of our common stock purchased by an investor, we issued to such investor a warrant to purchase 0.75 shares of our common stock. The warrants had an exercise price of $2.18 per share and were exercisable for five years from the initial exercise date. During the first week of May 2017, warrants were exercised in cashless transactions and the Company issued 36,689 shares as a result. The remaining warrants expired on May 7, 2017.

Note 10.9. Computation of Earnings Per Share

The following is presented as a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share computations:

Note 11.10. Commitments and Contingencies 

We are party to contracts in the ordinary course of business, including leases for real property and operating leases for equipment.

The expected remaining future annual minimum lease payments as of JanuaryOctober 31, 2018, are as follows:

We continue to pursue additional development opportunities that may require, individually and in the aggregate, significant commitments of capital, extensions of credit, up-front payments to third parties and guarantees by us of third-party debt.

We indemnified our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the director or officer is or was serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification obligations is unlimited; however, we have a Directors and Officers Liability Insurance policy that limits our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid, provided that such insurance policy provides coverage.

Note 12.11. Income Taxes 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act reduces the US federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. At JanuaryOctober 31,2018, we have not completed our accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Act; however, in certain cases, as described below, we have made a reasonable estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances. For any amounts we have not been able to make a reasonable estimate, we will continue to account for those items based on our existing accounting under ASC 740, Income Taxes, and the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to enactment. In all cases, we will continue to make and refine our calculations as additional analysis is completed. In addition, our estimates may also be affected as we gain a more thorough understanding of the tax law. The Company provisionally remeasured its net deferred tax liabilities to incorporate the future lower corporate tax rate resulting in a $291 thousand reduction to net deferred tax assets.

Given the significance of the legislation, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 118 (SAB 118), which allows registrants to record provisional amounts during a one year “measurement period” similar to that used when accounting for business combinations. However, the measurement period is deemed to have ended earlier when the registrant has obtained, prepared, and analyzed the information necessary to finalize its accounting. During the measurement period, impacts of the law are expected to be recorded at the time a reasonable estimate for all or a portion of the effects can be made, and provisional amounts can be recognized and adjusted as information becomes available, prepared, or analyzed. SAB 118 summarizes a three-step process to be applied at each reporting period to account for and qualitatively disclose: (1) the effects of the change in tax law for which accounting is complete; (2) provisional amounts (or adjustments to provisional amounts) for the effects of the tax law where accounting is not complete, but that a reasonable estimate has been determined; and (3) a reasonable estimate cannot yet be made and therefore taxes are reflected in accordance with law prior to the enactment of the Tax Act.

Several provisions of the Tax Act have significant impact on our U.S. tax attributes, generally consisting of credits, loss carry-forwards, and reserved notes. Although we have made a reasonable estimate of the gross amounts of the attributes disclosed, the Company is continuing to analyze certain aspects of the Tax Act and is refining its calculations which could potentially affect the measurements of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts. Other significant provisions that are not yet effective, but may impact income taxes in future years, include: limitation on the current deductibility of net interest expense in excess of 30 percent of adjusted taxable income and a limitation of net operating losses generated after December 31, 2017 to 80 percent of taxable income.

For the three months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2018 and 2017, our effective tax rates (exclusive of discrete items)from continuing operations were 19%22% and -38%29%, respectively. For the ninesix months ended JanuaryOctober 31, 2018 and 2017, our effective tax rates from continuing operations were 28%22% and -51%30%, respectively. The difference between the federal statutory rate of approximately 29.7% (composed of 34% through December of 2017 and 21% thereafter) and the 2018 fiscal year to date’s effective tax rate is primarily due to utilization of general business credits.nondeductible expenses. The difference between the 2017 federal statutory rate of 34.0% and the 2017 fiscal year to date effective tax rate was primarily due to the non-deductible goodwill impairment.utilization of general business credits.

At JanuaryOctober 31, 2018, we have $0.8$0.6 million in net deferred tax assets, which is primarily a result of the $6.3 million (gross, not tax effected) amount in receivables that have been fully reserved for book purposes.net operating losses. We believe that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized prior to any expiration and therefore we have not applied a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

We filed income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction. No jurisdiction is currently examining our tax filings for any tax years. All of the Company’s tax positions are considered more likely than not to be sustained upon an IRS examination.

Note 13.12. Segment Reporting 

We have three business segments: (i) Washington, (ii) South Dakota and (iii) Nevada, as well as the Company’s corporate location. ForOn June 30, 2018, the three months ended January 31,Company sold its South Dakota route operations. Also, as of July 27, 2018, the Nevada reportable segment met the requirements to be classified as a discontinued operation. As a result, the operations of Nevada have been excluded from the segment reporting below. See Note 13 for information related to the Nevada segment. The Washington segment consists of the Washington mini-casinos, the South Dakota segment consistsconsisted of our slot route operation in South Dakota, the Nevada segment consists of Club Fortune casino and the Corporate column includes the vacant land in Colorado and its taxes and maintenance expenses. The Corporate column also includesexpenses, corporate-related items, results of insignificant operations, and income and expenses not allocated to other reportable segments.

Summarized financial information for our reportable segments from continuing operations is shown in the following table:
