The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Littlefield Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). The financial statements contained herein are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Company's accounting policies and certain other disclosures are set forth in the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the notes to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Where appropriate, items within the consolidated condensed financial statements have been reclassified to maintain consistency and comparability for all periods presented.

The operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001. Except for historical information contained herein, certain matters set forth in this report are forward looking statements that are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, including the impact of government regulation and taxation, customer attendance and spending, competition, and general economic conditions, among others. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains "forward-looking" statements as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries that are based on the beliefs of the Company's management. When used in this report, the words "anticipate," believe," "estimate," "expect," and "intend" and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to the company or its subsidiaries or Company management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to certain factors including, without limitations, competitive factors, general economic conditions, customer relations, relationships with vendors, the interest rate environment, governmental regulation and supervision, seasonality, distribution networks, product introductions and acceptance, technological change, changes in industry practices, onetime events and other factors described herein and in other filings made by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, based upon changing conditions, should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. The company does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS.

In March 1998, the Company acquired Ambler Bingo. In conjunction with this purchase, the Company issued a promissory note payable in the amount of $400,000 to the seller (a related party), as partial consideration for this purchase. This note payable is due in monthly installments of $9,765, with an interest rate of 8.0% and a maturity date of May 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company recognized $6,725 and $12,945, respectively, of interest expense related to this obligation.

In September 2000, the Company entered into a warehouse lease agreement for 6,000 sq. ft. of storage space with Flournoy Management Inc. Flournoy Management Inc.'s majority shareholders are Gene and Scott Flournoy who are employed by the Company as Regional Managers in Alabama. The lease has a two-year term and the rate is $1,729 per month. The warehouse is being used to store amusement machines that the Company was forced to move out of South Carolina, as discussed in earlier reports, and as a technical center to deploy amusement machines in other jurisdictions.

The Company sub-leased office space for its corporate headquarters in Austin, Texas from a major shareholder, director and officer of the company. The amount paid for the first nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was approximately $36,000 and $27,000 respectively. This sub-lease ended with the purchase of a new corporate headquarters building on June 28, 2001.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.


Generally speaking, the Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines require a company to report any pending legal and/or regulatory proceedings that involves a claim for damages in excess of ten percent (10%) of its current assets. The litigation and proceedings discussed below do not necessarily meet this threshold, but are included in the interest of full disclosure. In general, the Company will vigorously defend itself against all claims to the fullest extent possible:

Pondella Hall for Hire, Inc., d/b/a Eight Hundred v. American Bingo and Gaming, Case No.: 97-2750, Circuit Court of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit in and for Manatee County, Florida. In July of 1995 the Company bought three Florida bingo centers from Phillip Furtney and two corporations related to Mr. Furtney (which corporations and Mr. Furtney are referred to collectively as "Furtney"). On September 12, 1997, Furtney filed a lawsuit against the Company in Florida, alleging breach of contract. Furtney alleged that the Company defaulted on its original purchase note and stock obligations under the purchase agreements. On July 12, 1997, the Company answered this lawsuit and filed a counterclaim against Furtney alleging, among other things, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, breach of express warranties, contractual indemnity and tortious interference with contractual rights. The Company believes that it was materially defrauded in its purchase of these three Florida bingo centers from Furtney in that Furtney made no disclosure to the Company of an ongoing criminal investigation of the operation of these bingo centers by the Florida State Attorney General's Office, and that Furtney was fully aware of this investigation. The state of Florida temporarily closed these three bingo centers, as well as several other centers formerly owned by Mr. Furtney, in November 1995. The Company sold these three bingo centers in December of 1995. In January of 1997, the Company and the State of Florida settled all matters regarding the Company's previous ownership and operation of these bingo centers. The Company believes that Furtney's lawsuit against the Company is completely without merit and that the Company will prevail in its counterclaim. There can be no assurance of this result and a decision against the Company could have a material adverse effect on the financial position and operations of the Company.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued).

Collins Entertainment Corp. v. Coats and Coats Rental Amusement, d/b/a Ponderosa Bingo and Shipwatch Bingo, Wayne Coats, individually, and American Bingo and Gaming Corp.; American Bingo and Gaming Corp. v. Coats and Coats Rental Amusement, d/b/a Ponderosa Bingo and Shipwatch Bingo, Wayne Coats, individually, Civil Action No. 97-CP-10-4685, South Carolina Court of Common Pleas, Charleston County. On October 9, 1997, Collins Entertainment, Inc., filed a lawsuit alleging the Defendants had engaged in civil conspiracy and tortiously interfered with the Plaintiff's contract, violating the South Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act. A judgment was issued on February 12, 2001 in favor of the plaintiff. Damages of $157,000 were awarded in addition to punitive damages of $1,570,000. The Company plans to appeal this decision with the South Carolina appellate court. The total amount of the award has been accrued for in the financial statements in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.

Berkeley Square Limited Partnership v. Littlefield Corporation, et al; Civil Action No. 00-CP-10-1913, South Carolina Court of Common Pleas, Berkeley County. On January 18, 2001, a lawsuit was filed for unpaid rents under a commercial lease of which the Company is a tenant on the lease, which expires September 2003. The leased premises had been used as the location of Ponderosa Bingo in Goose Creek, South Carolina. Because of construction projects at the Berkeley Square shopping center in the year 2000, tenants were denied the full use of the property. Ponderosa Bingo was subsequently moved to a new location in November 2000 and rent payments were terminated as of September 2000. The Company has asserted counterclaims against Berkeley Square Limited Partnership for loss of profits and other damages. The case is currently in the early discovery stage. The Company intends to vigorously defend this action. If this case were to be decided against the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on the financial position and operations of the Company.

Brigham Limited Partnership v. Littlefield Corporation, f/n/a American Bingo & Gaming Corp., S.C.Properties II Corp. and Michael Mims; Civil Action No. 2000CP021280, South Carolina Court of Common Pleas. The alleged facts which gave rise to this litigation are as follows: Michael Mims leased certain property from Brigham. Subsequently S.C.Properties, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Bingo & Gaming Corp., obtained a sub-lease from Mims with the approval, in writing of Brigham. A letter of understanding was sent by and between Mims, Brigham and S.C. Properties which stated that S.C. Properties could terminate the sub-lease in the event video poker and bingo were legislatively prohibited from operating in the State of South Carolina. On September 30, 2000, video poker ("video games") became illegal in South Carolina and S.C. Properties gave notice of termination. Brigham is suing for rent revenues not otherwise received in an undefined amount. S.C. Properties and the Company have filed a Motion to make the Complaint more definite and certain which stays the proceedings until the Motion is ruled upon. If this case were to be decided against the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on the financial position and operations of the Company.

Litigation Settled: Littlefield Corporation v. Mims & Dye Enterprises; Pursuant to a coin machine agreement which was terminated in April 2000, Littlefield demanded a final accounting. When it was not forthcoming, the Company initiated binding arbitration (in accordance with the Agreement) by filing suit in Richland County, SC. Subsequently, settlement negotiations were initiated and a final settlement was reached. The Company received 80,000 shares at $1.80 per share to satisfy the damages of $65,823. This resulted in a gain for the Company in the amount of $74,165, after related legal expenses of $4,012.


NOTE 10 - SEGMENTS.


The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), the President and CEO, evaluates performance and allocates resources based on a measure of segment profit or loss from operations.

The Company has identified three operating segments based on the different nature of the services and legislative monitoring and, in general, the type of customers for those services in the current year and two in the prior year. The entertainment segment encompasses bingo center services provided to charitable organizations in South Carolina, Texas and Alabama. The amusements segment represents operations of the Company's amusement arcades in Alabama during 2001 and the video gaming machines in South Carolina during 2000. The Hospitality segment is the party rental and catering business in Austin, Texas which is new in the current year.



A summary of the segment financial information reported to the CODM is as follows:

Gross revenue numbers for 2000 were restated for the amusements segment to reflect net payouts instead of gross payouts. Net income is unaffected


NOTE 11 - ACQUISITIONS, OPENINGS, CLOSINGS AND REORGANIZATIONS.


The Company opened a new bingo hall in Montgomery, Alabama on September 2, 2001. The bingo hall also included a video arcade with approximately 60 machines.

The Company purchased a party rental company in Austin, Texas, which was finalized on July 18, 2001.

The Company purchased a catering company in Austin, Texas which was finalized on August 22, 2001.

The Company purchased the real estate property where Ambler Bingo is currently being operated.

The Company has entered into a lease for a start up bingo hall in McAllen, Texas and will begin the lease in October 2001. The Company also entered into a lease for an existing bingo hall in Amarillo, Texas and will begin operations in the fourth quarter 2001.

The Company purchased an existing office building in Austin, Texas on June 28, 2001 and has moved its corporate offices into the facility. Part of the building is currently being leased to a third party, which terminated October 13, 2001. The Company plans to remodel the building and locate the sales and marketing departments of the hospitality division in the vacated lease space.

The Company will close several video arcades in Alabama at the end of July 2001, as they were deemed illegal by the local counties' sheriffs in three separate counties. The Company will continue to operate all arcades in Montgomery (two at the Company's bingo halls and one separate location). Most of the machines at the closed locations have been sold.

Littlefield Corporation


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company was formed in 1994 as a Delaware corporation to consummate the acquisition of charitable bingo centers and video gaming operations. The Company operates primarily through wholly owned subsidiaries in Texas, Alabama and South Carolina. The Company completed its initial public offering in December of 1994.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-KSB and the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999; the Company's Form 10-QSB for the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and March 31, 2001and the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and March 31, 2001. The statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB relating to matters that are not historical facts, including, but not limited to statements found in this "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", are forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual future results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to the impact of government regulation and taxation, customer attendance, spending, competition, general economic conditions, and other risks and uncertainties as discussed in this Quarterly Report and the 2000 Annual report on Form 10-KSB.

The Company intends to grow its business through acquisitions and the selective start up of charitable bingo halls in markets in which it currently operates and other attractive markets. The Company's plans are to continue to repurchase its shares as market conditions warrant such action, although there can be no assurances that such repurchases will occur.

Results of Operations

Net income for the nine months ended September 30 2001 was $1,549,672, which equated to basic and fully diluted earnings per share of $0.19. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30 of 2000 was $167,537, which equated to a basic and fully diluted loss per share of $.02. The weighted average number of basic Common Stock shares outstanding totaled 7,960,952 in the first nine months of 2001 as compared to 8,384,011 in the first nine months of 2000. The reduction in revenue was a direct result of the cessation of video gaming in South Carolina on June 30 2000. If this revenue from 2000 was taken out, without unusual and non-recurring income items, net income in the current year actually increased by approximately $2,500,000.

Revenues

The Company generated consolidated revenues of approximately $7,222,000 during the period ended September 30, 2001 as compared with approximately $7,918,000 in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, representing a decrease of approximately $696,000 or 9%. Again, this is due to the cessation of South Carolina video poker. However, amusement revenue totaled over $1,088,000 from our new Alabama locations. Entertainment (bingo) rental and other revenues totaled approximately $4,700,000, or 65% of revenues, for the first nine months of 2001, as compared to $4,020,000, or 51% of total revenues, for the first nine of 2000. During the first nine months of 2001, approximately 28% of the Company's bingo related revenues were generated in South Carolina, 16% in Alabama and 56% in Texas, compared to 15%, 21% and 64%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2000. The Hospitality segment is new this year and generated revenues of over $978,000.

Gross Margins

Gross margin was approximately$1,716,000 or 24% of revenues in the first nine months of 2001 versus approximately $2,230,000 or 28% in the first nine months of 2000, a decrease of 4%. This is directly related to the cessation of video gaming in South Carolina, which was a cash winnings type business versus the start up Alabama amusements business, which is a redemption business. In other words, in South Carolina, a player could win up to $125 cash; in Alabama, a player wins a $5 gift certificate. In addition, the hospitality business is in a start up situation, incurring many one-time expenses and lost about $44,000 for the period, or a negative gross margin of 4%. The entertainment (bingo) segment had a gross margin of 34% in the first nine months of 2001 compared to 17% in the same period of 2000, a substantial improvement.

Costs and Expenses

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled approximately $1,253,000 in the first nine months of 2001, a decrease of about $443,000 from the first nine months of 2000.

General and administrative expenses, excluding related depreciation expense, totaled approximately $905,000 in the first nine months of 2001, compared to approximately $1,679,000 in 2000.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $7,565,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to approximately $957,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of $4,341,000 related to property and equipment purchases, less $635,000 received from proceeds on the sale of machines, the purchase of equity securities for $1,525,000 less proceeds from the sale of equity securities of $607,000, and the purchase of goodwill and other intangibles in the amount of $2,055,000. Also, cash was used to loan money for the Heep Homestead in Austin, Texas, secured by the property, for $941,000.

Cash used related to financing activities in 2000 included approximately, $2,076,000 of Company treasury stock purchases and approximately $463,000 of net cash paid to reduce notes payable and capital lease obligations.

Current assets totaled approximately $2,922,000 at September 30, 2001, providing the Company with a current ratio of .70 to 1. At September 30, 2001, the Company had approximately $16,375,000 in total assets with total liabilities of approximately $6,401,000 and approximately $9,975,000 of shareholders equity.
