PART I

ITEM I: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Littlefield Corporation develops, owns and operates charitable bingo halls, and owns and operates party rental and catering companies.  We operate 30 charitable bingo halls in Texas, Alabama, and South Carolina.  We also own and operate Littlefield Hospitality in Austin, Texas.  The Hospitality division consists of Premiere Events and Rental, a party and tent rental company, and Word of Mouth Catering, a custom catering company.

We were incorporated in Delaware in 1994 as American Bingo and Gaming Corp.  From inception through 1999 we suffered through a chaotic leadership structure.  There have been five (5) separate Presidents or Chief Executive Officers during our brief history as well as a continuously changing Board of Directors.  In mid-1999, Daniel W. Deloney was named a director, and immediately after the resignation of the Board of Directors and management, became interim Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.  In July 1999, Jeffrey L. Minch was appointed a director and in October 1999, was named President.  Current independent board members are Carlton Williams, Alfred Stanley and Michael Wilfley.  Alfred Stanley and Michael Wilfley were elected at the May 2004 annual meeting to replace Hank Anawaty who did not seek reelection and Daniel Deloney who was not reelected.  Carlton Williams was named Chairman of the Board.  The Board of Directors owns a substantial amount of stock.

CURRENT YEAR EVENTS:

On January 1, 2004, the Company incorporated Littlefield Management Company, Inc. in the state of Texas as a wholly owned subsidiary.

On May 6, 2004, the Company’s stock was delisted from the NASDAQ and began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.  This event is discussed more thoroughly in Item 5 – “Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.”

In 2004, we purchased one bingo hall, Bingo Barn in Midland, Texas.  In South Carolina, we opened or entered into an agreement to open three new ‘C’ halls, Coverall’s Bingo in Walterboro, Conway Bingo in Conway and Meeting Place Bingo in Charleston.  Meeting Place Bingo and Bingo Amigo in Greenville, SC were closed during this year.  We also began the process to secure space for a fourth “C” hall in Aiken.  All of these events are discussed more thoroughly in Item 6 – “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.

PRINCIPLE BUSINESS AND MARKETS

We currently have two distinct and separate business segments.
  1. “Littlefield Entertainment” owns and operates 30 charitable bingo halls.  Of these 30 bingo halls, sixteen (16) are in Texas (Austin-1, Abilene-2, Amarillo-3, McAllen-3, Lubbock-3, Odessa-2, Midland-1 and San Antonio-1), three (3) are in Alabama (Montgomery-2 and Mobile-1) and eleven (11) are in South Carolina (Charleston-6, Columbia-2,  Georgetown-1, Walterboro-1 and Conway-1).  The total segment comprised approximately 65% of our total revenues in 2004.

  2. “Littlefield Hospitality” consists of Austin Tents and Events which was acquired in November 2000, Premiere Party Rental which was acquired in July of 2001, and Word of Mouth Custom Catering which was acquired in August of 2001.  Austin Tents and Events and Premiere Party Rental were subsequently combined and are now called Premiere Events and Rental.  Revenues in our Hospitality division comprised 34% of total gross revenues in 2004.

On January 31, 2003, a third unit, Littlefield Amusements was discontinued.  This unit operated amusement type gaming machines in Montgomery, Alabama, but when those machines were deemed illegal, the business unit was discontinued.

LITTLEFIELD ENTERTAINMENT.  Our main business is the management of charitable bingo halls.  We might be called a “charitable bingo lessor” or “bingo conductor” or “bingo promoter” depending upon the jurisdiction in which we are operating.

A new charity bingo hall is created when we contract with a real estate landlord, through a long-term real estate lease, to rent premises suitable for a bingo hall.  We engage in precise market, demographic and location research in order to ensure the suitability of a specific site for the development of a new bingo hall.  We then develop the physical plant for a bingo hall based upon our expertise; and, attract the requisite number of charities for the use of the premises and the services provided to support the Charities’ conduct of bingo operations.

In the due diligence of investing in a new start up bingo hall, the company anticipates recovering our entire investment (usually $100,000 to $400,000) within one to two years after the attainment of a stable and predictable operating environment (typically 6-12 months after the initiation of operations with a full contingent of charities).  We have two new start up halls in South Carolina, neither of which has reached a stable and predictable operating environment to date.  These halls, one of which opened in 2004 (Coveralls Bingo in Walterboro, SC), and another which will open in early 2005 (Mill Pond Bingo in Conway, SC), should reach this level of stability in 2005 and early 2006.

In addition to starting up new charitable bingo halls, we may acquire other companies that also engage in the management of charitable bingo halls.  We anticipate an immediate going in return of 25-35% on our entire investment and the ability to sustain that level of performance for a ten (10) year period, absent only regulatory environmental changes beyond our ability to predict or control.  In the past three years we have purchased El Bingo Grande Bingo Hall, Bingo Idea and Bingo Barn.  Of these Bingo Idea and Bingo Barn were purchased with the knowledge that we would  not attain these goals, as these were strategic purchases that allowed us to take advantage of our market presence.  The El Bingo Grande purchase has produced a 40% return since 2002.  In 2002, the first year we operated the hall, we had 12% return, in 2003 a 16% return and in 2004 a 16% return.

In 2004, our charitable bingo halls raised approximately $3,429,000 in charitable funding for those charities that operate in our bingo halls.  We helped raise $732,000 for charities in South Carolina, $397,000 for charities in Alabama, and $2,300,00 for charities in Texas.  In the past three years alone our company has helped raise well over $12 million for charity.

Competition:  The charitable bingo market is a fragmented business, often with operators who are individuals or partnerships, with no one dominant competitor. Competition also includes charitable organizations.  From region to region there may be a dominant player in their immediate markets, but we are the only publicly traded bingo promoter with more than just a regional presence.

Our unit of competition is an individual bingo hall.  Competition is further subdivided by the time of day or night that a bingo hall operates.  A bingo hall could generally be a daytime hall, a nighttime hall or a late night hall.  In certain jurisdictions, we would like to operate at all three times.  An individual bingo hall competes within a trade area of approximately fifteen (15) miles against other bingo halls operating at the same time.  Within a larger market (e.g. Charleston, South Carolina) the presence of a number of bingo halls may not give rise to significant competition.  In general, we believe that approximately one to one and a half percent (1-1.5%) of the population in a city of more than 100,000 are meaningful and consistent bingo players.

The principle methods of competition used, once an ideal location is obtained, include providing clean, safe and attractive facilities, creating customer loyalty through various marketing efforts, and other promotional programs to stimulate interest in not only playing the game of bingo, but in frequenting our bingo locations specifically.  Our combined industry knowledge also gives us a competitive advantage when negotiating with the various charities to use our facilities for their operations.  Direct advertising is not permitted under the local bingo regulations by the promoter’s organizations in some jurisdiction and is permitted in others.

Regulation.   We operate in Texas, Alabama and South Carolina, and each state regulates bingo operations differently.

In Texas, the Texas Lottery Commission regulates bingo and its rules are uniform throughout the State.  In general, a bingo hall can contain up to seven (7) charities and can operate seven (7) days per week and conduct as many as fourteen (14) bingo sessions per week.

In South Carolina, the South Carolina Department of Revenue is the principal regulator for bingo.  Its rules are uniform throughout the State.  In general, a bingo hall can contain a single charity and can only operate five (5) sessions per week with a Class B license or everyday with a Class C license.  In general, a Class C hall is permitted to play more often, but is required to pay out less money than a Class B hall.

In Alabama, bingo can only be played in counties that have a “local bill” authorizing bingo that has been passed by the state legislature.  The local county sheriff is the principal regulator of bingo and regulations vary from county to county.  In general, a bingo hall can contain up to ten (10) charities and can operate seven (7) days per week and conduct up to twenty-one (21) bingo sessions per week.

LITTLEFIELD HOSPITALITY:

In the last quarter of 2000, we began a diversification of our businesses with the acquisition of Austin Tents and Events, and with the purchase of Premiere Party Rental and Word of Mouth Custom Catering in the summer of 2001.  These combined businesses had average revenue of approximately $4,500,000 per year and operated in the central Texas area in and around Austin, Texas.  The companies engaged in the party rental business, catering, and installation of tents for events, parties, weddings, festivals, etc. as well as a small amount of event planning (music, flowers, catering, etc.).

Competition: The catering, party rental, tent installation, and event coordination market is very fragmented, especially in the local Austin area.  There are numerous catering and party rental companies in the Austin area.  While some companies do offer catering services and party rentals, they do not offer “one-stop shopping”, that our combined companies can provide.  The keys to success in the hospitality industry are to maintain quality-trained labor and to strive for consistency and excellence in customer service.  The hospitality industry has a tradition of being fragmented and our combined acquisitions of Austin Tents and Events, Premiere Party Rental, and Word of Mouth Custom Catering give us a competitive edge in the Austin marketplace.

Regulation:  There is no special regulation for this type of business, other than normal business taxes (sales & use, franchise, property, etc.) and employment issues.  Permits are often needed for certain site locations.  We comply with all regulatory issues.

LITTLEFIELD AMUSEMENTS:

As previously mentioned, Littlefield Amusements was discontinued as a business segment on January 31, 2003.  One month of revenue and expenses from this former business unit is included in our financial statements.  At this time, all machines have been sold.  The company no longer owns any gaming machines and would only contemplate returning to the business in a clearly regulated and non-saturated market.

EMPLOYEES:

As of the report date, we had approximately one hundred (100) employees and four (4) directors, of which one is a full time employee.  Of the current employment level, eight (8) are at our headquarters in Austin, Texas, eleven (11) are engaged in bingo operations, and eighty one (81) are with Littlefield Hospitality.


ITEM 2 – DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Our principal executive offices, which we own, are located at 2501 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78705. We lease space for the majority of our bingo operations in Texas, Alabama, and South Carolina and in turn sublease the bingo centers to various charities.  We are responsible for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and repair expenses on some of our leases.  We own four bingo centers and our former corporate headquarters in South Carolina.  We believe the condition of our leased and owned properties is good.  No single property, leased or owned, amounts to 10% or more of our total assets.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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 June 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 completed depositions of Mr. Furtney and a corporate representative of the Furtney controlled companies discussed above on September 20, 2000 and plans to pursue and defend this action vigorously.  The case was heard in January 2005. Judgment was found against the Company for approximately $1,000,000 plus attorney’s fees.  The Company accrued $1,200,000 in the 2004 financial statements related to this case.  

Lenrich Associates LLC v. Littlefield Corporation, et al; Civil Action No. 00-CP-10-4742, South Carolina Court of Common Pleas, County of Charleston. Lenrich Associates brought this action against the Company based on a commercial lease guaranty that was signed by the Company.  The tenant on the lease was Concessions Corp., a subsidiary of the Company and had been used as the location of the “Lucky II” facility, which was closed in early 2000.  The lease expired in February 2003.  Because rental payments under the lease were in arrears, Lenrich Associates sought to enforce the guaranty against the Company.  The Company’s liability under the guaranty was capped at the lesser of two years of fixed and additional rent or the amount of fixed and additional rent corresponding to the time period mandated by South Carolina law.  A settlement agreement had been reached for $147,500, which has been accrued for by the Company in June 2002.  However, the plaintiff withdrew their support of the settlement agreement shortly thereafter.  The Company has petitioned the court to enforce the settlement agreement and is currently awaiting this decision.

Littlefield Corp. v. Dye, Civil Action No. 2002-cp-08-478. The Company filed an action on March 6, 2002, in Berkeley County, South Carolina for collection on a note signed by Danny C. Dye.  The note, which was executed on December 10, 1998, was in the amount of $80,000.  The Company alleges that Dye still owes $58,481 toward the principle balance, plus $19,257 in accrued interest through December 31, 2002.  On January 14, 2003, Mr. Dye amended his answer to assert counterclaims against the Company for fraudulent breach of contract and violation of the South Carolina Payment of Wages Act based on allegations that the Company failed to pay Dye amounts due under an employment contract.  Mr. Dye has alleged that the Company owes him $375,000 in unpaid salary and is seeking treble damages under the Payment of Wages Act for a total amount of $1,250,000 in damages.  The Company believes that the counterclaims are without merit and the Company plans to contest them vigorously.  

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.  The Plaintiff sought actual damages in excess of $350,000 and an unspecified amount of punitive damages. The Company believed this lawsuit was completely without merit; however, 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 appealed this decision with the South Carolina appellate court, and the judgment was affirmed.  The Company applied for a re-hearing with the appellate court, which threw out their original opinion.  However, their new opinion also reaffirmed the judgment.  The Company is now in the process of filing an appeal to the South Carolina Supreme Court.  The total amount of the award has been accrued for in the financial statements plus $300,000 in post judgment interest. The actual damages of $157,000 were paid in 2001.

George M. Harrison, et al. v. Littlefield Corporation  Civil Action No. 4:04-1038-25  This action is currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, Florence Division.  Plaintiffs were the owners of a parcel of real property in Darlington, South Carolina that was leased to Darlington Music Company, a former subsidiary of Littlefield Corporation.  In 1990, Plaintiffs, who were also the owners of Darlington Music Company at that time, caused Darlington Music Company to enter into a 15-year lease of the real property they owned.  Darlington Music Company was later acquired from Plaintiffs by Littlefield Corporation’s predecessor, American Bingo & Gaming.  This business continued to operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary until such time as changes in South Carolina law regarding video gaming required that the business be wound down.  In May 2001, Plaintiffs later received a judgment in the amount of $199,148 against Darlington Music Company for nonpayment of rent.  Through this action, Plaintiffs are now attempting to enforce that judgment against Littlefield Corporation on the basis of various legal theories.  Littlefield intends to vigorously defend this action and will also ask, if possible, to have the underlying judgment against its former subsidiary reexamined.

ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The year 2004 brought continued growth in our bingo division and slowed losses in our hospitality division.  

In April we acquired Bingo Barn in Midland.  The Bingo Barn purchase allowed the company to reorganize and optimize our operations in the Midland/Odessa market.  The purchase gave us the only night time bingo hall in the city, allowed us to market three halls together, one in Midland and two in Odessa, and kept the competition from entering the market place.

In Alabama, Bingo operations were faced with increased competition from “Indian Casinos” and a race track in the area.  These casinos and the race track, which are mini-gaming centers, operate under different rules with different pay-out structures than our charitable bingo halls in the same market.  Despite these pressures our operations showed an improvement in the 4th quarter that is carrying over into the 1st quarter of 2005.

In South Carolina, we continue to grow the South Carolina operations.  In 2004 we opened Coveralls Bingo in Walterboro and a temporary hall in Charleston called Meeting Place.  Meeting Place closed in December 2004.  We began the process in 2004 to open “C” bingo halls in Conway and Aiken.  The Conway and Aiken locations will open in early 2005.  “C” bingo halls accounted for 66% of the South Carolina revenue.

Our Hospitality division continued to show signs of improvement in 2004.  Direct and indirect expenses were down $139,000 from 2003, strategic reductions in wages and benefits accounted for 95% of the reduction.   G&A and other income and expenses were also down by $100,000 from lower interest expense, no severance payments as in 2003 and a small gain on disposal of assets verses a $29,000 loss in 2003.  However revenues slipped $252,000 when compared to 2003, despite this the fourth quarter rebounded with a 6% increase in revenues over 2003.  Even though the Hospitality division is improving the division again recorded a net loss for the year.

We had a net loss in 2004 totaling $1,097,000 compared to net income in 2003 of $222,000.  The large net loss in 2004 was entirely attributable to a $1,200,000 allowance for a legal settlement relating to a 1995 bingo case and $300,000 for post judgment interest on an earlier case.  There was no goodwill impaired in 2004 or 2003.  With the legal accrual removed from 2004, we had net income of $403,000, an $181,000 increase over 2003.

Broken down by segments, net income from bingo operations (Littlefield Entertainment) was $2,312,000 in 2004 compared to $2,156,000 in 2003, an increase of over 7%.  The hospitality division had a net loss from operations of $489,000 in 2004, compared to a net loss of $476,000 in 2003, an increase of 3%.  The losses sustained here were a direct result of lower revenues, management has been able to effectively keep costs down through strategic handling of  cost most specifically personnel related, helped by lower interest costs.  This relates to cautious spending in the market place for the first 2 ½ quarters of 2004.  Beginning in late Q3 2004 and carrying forward through the end of the year, revenues began to climb.  Q4 2004 revenues were up 11% from the same period in 2003.

Revenues were at breakeven with the prior year, held back by the Alabama operations in the Entertainment Divison and by Hospitality.  The Alabama operations were hurt by increased competition in the form of casinos on the Indian Reservations and electronic gaming machines at a horse race track in the adjoining counties.   The Alabama operations began to rebound in the latter part of the year and we anticipate this trend to continue in the coming year.  Through the 3rd quarter 2004, Alabama revenues were down 17% from the prior year, by the end of the 4th quarter revenues had rebounded 6% to end the year down 11% from 2003.  Hospitality’s revenues were down from the prior year with most of the reduction coming in the first three quarters of the year.  Hospitality began to show improvement late in the 3rd quarter and we anticipate 2005 to continue to show improvement in the economy.  Through the 3rd quarter of 2004 year to date revenues were down 17% from 2003, by the end of the 4th quarter, they had rebounded to be down 10% from 2003.

Gross Margin in 2004 was $2,109,000 or 21% of revenue, compared to gross margin in 2003 of $2,019,000.  This represents an increase in gross margin of $90,000.  This represents an increase in gross margin of 4%, which is evident of continued commitment by the management of the company to reduce costs, as the 4% increase was realized with essentially the same revenue as the year prior.

Broken down by segments, the Entertainment (bingo) division had gross margin in 2004 of $2,506,000 (39% of revenue) compared to a gross margin in 2003 of $2,272,000 (36% of revenue) a $234,000 increase.  The Hospitality division had gross margin in 2004 of negative $427,000 compared to gross margin in 2003 of negative $314,000.

Gross margin as discussed above includes all direct and indirect expenses, depreciation, and goodwill impairment.

General & Administrative Expenses

Corporate overhead, also called general and administrative expense, was $1,420,000 in 2004 compared to $1,472,000 in 2003, a decrease in overhead expense of $52,000.  The decrease is a result of lower legal fees and reduced depreciation and amortization.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest and investment income was down 79% to $10,000 in 2004 from $47,000 in 2003.  The decrease is completion of the sale of investments in late 2003. Interest expense was down 20% in 2004 to $285,000 from $358,000 in 2003.  We accrued  $1,200,000 for legal settlements and $300,000 in post judgment interest on a separate case.  We had a loss on the sale of fixed assets in 2004 of $23,000 compared to a gain on the sale of fixed assets of $71,000 in 2003.  The gain on the sale of fixed assets in 2003 was not due to any single event but was made up of many small dispositions throughout the year.

Our income tax expense for 2004 was $60,000 compared to $60,000 in 2003, all of which is related to state income taxes.  The Company currently has a net operating loss available for carryover on its federal income taxes of approximately $7,600,000.

Extraordinary Gain

We had no extraordinary gains from continued operations in 2004 or 2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flow from operations of $1,206,000 was sufficient to fund all investment and financing activities in 2004.  At year end, net cash and cash equivalents increased by $241,723 compared to last year.  We predict that next year’s cash flow from operations will also be sufficient to fund normal business investing and financing activities, but we will continue to seek additional financing from either sellers or third party lenders for any major acquisitions.  The Company has notes payable coming due in the next twenty four months amounting to $602,000 in 2005 and $630,000 in 2006.  Of these notes payable, there are no large balloon payments, allowing for manageable debt repayments on a monthly and quarterly basis.  Of the 2005 notes payable $169,000 is to related parties that will be paid in full by July 2005.  Of the 2006 debt, $106,000 is to a related party that we fully expect to be able to restructure.  Of the remaining notes payable, a note with a bank in the amount of $540,000, with $180,000  payments due for the each of the years 2005, 2006, 2007, is expected to be paid in full by the end of 2005.

We have reserved approximately $3,238,000 for punitive damages related to a legal judgments that were rendered against the Company in February 2001, $1,570,000, and January 2005, $1,200,000, $300,000 in post judgment interest, as well as $168,000 for two other settlements, one of which is still pending.  In the 2001 case, we have already paid the actual damages of approximately $157,000, and our appeal continues. In the January 2005 case, the final judgment has not been rendered.  If we lose our appeals we plan to set up a payout arrangement with the plaintiff to pay off the amounts due in installments.  

In 2005, we plan to use our cash generated from operations to make leasehold improvements and renovations in our bingo operations.  We also plan to use advantageous combinations of bank financing, seller financing, treasury stock, and cash on new bingo hall acquisitions when favorable terms can be obtained.

Critical Accounting Policies

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - amends SFAS 133 effective after June 30, 2003 for “Financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity - establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  Effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, Inventory Costs – an amendment to ARB No. 43, Ch 4, clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage), requires items those items to be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal” and that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversions be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities effective November 2004.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transaction – an amendment to FASB No. 66 & 67 amends No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions.  It also amends FASB No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions.  This is effective the fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – an amendment to APB No. 29 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R), Share Based Payments – an amendment to SFAS 123 amends SFAS 123 to establish standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services.  It also address transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.  This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based transactions.  This Statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in Statement 123 as originally issued and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services.  This statement is effective for public entities that file as small business issuers as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005.  The financial impact of adopting SFAS 123(R) can not be predicted; however, it will likely have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 8 – Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None

Item 8A – Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure  Controls

We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures ("Disclosure Controls") as of the end of the 2004 fiscal year.  This evaluation ("Controls Evaluation") was done with the participation of our president and chief executive officer ("CEO") and chief financial officer ("CFO").

Disclosure Controls are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") is recorded processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.  Disclosure Controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our internal controls over financial reporting ("Internal Controls") will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met.  Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Littlefield Corporation have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of a control.  A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and  may not  be detected.

Conclusions

Based upon the Controls Evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, the Disclosure Controls are effective in providing reasonable assurance that material information relating to Littlefield Corporation is made known to management on a timely basis during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared.  

Internal control over financial reporting is a framework incorporating processes designed to assure that transactions are booked properly initially and find their way to the appropriate place on the company’s financial statements.  There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting..

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors
Littlefield Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Littlefield Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Littlefield Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Littlefield Corporation – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004



NOTE 1 - BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Littlefield Corporation actively participates in the U.S. charitable bingo market, and the event planning/hospitality business.  The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in Austin, Texas, and the Company operates primarily through wholly owned subsidiaries in Texas, South Carolina and Alabama.  The Company generates its revenues from bingo centers in all three states and the event planning/hospitality market in Texas.

Principles of Consolidation:

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Littlefield Corporation and its subsidiaries (herein collectively referred to as the “Company”).  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Reclassifications:

Certain items in the financial statements have been reclassified to maintain consistency and comparability for all periods presented herein.

Management Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market accounts and in investments with a maturity of ninety days or less when purchased.

Accounts Receivable:

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from charitable organizations that conduct bingo events at the Company’s various bingo centers, and are generally payable within one month of the event.  Receivables also include rent due from operators of concessions located within bingo centers.  Hospitality receivables are due from businesses, individuals and non-profit organizations and are generally due immediately after the event.  Accounts receivable are not secured.  Management provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which reflects its estimate of the uncollectible receivables.  In the event of non-performance, the maximum exposure to the Company is the recorded amount of receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, at the balance sheet date.

Notes Receivable:

In May 2001, the Company entered into a note receivable with David and Harriet Heep Shaffer.  The principal amount of the note was $845,000 paying 16% interest with a maturity date of May 1, 2004.  The Company holds a first lien deed of trust on approximately 1,154 acres located in Travis and Hayes counties in Texas.  

In 2002, the Heep Shaffer filed for bankruptcy protection, up to that point the company had accrued for $222,603 of interest on the books.  In accordance with GAAP, at the time of the bankruptcy the Company discontinued accruing for interest, though interest is still due to the company.  Since May 1, 2004, interest has continued to accrue on the unpaid principal and interest at an 18% interest rate.  The Company believes that there are no potential uncertainties related to the collection due to the filing of the bankruptcy because of our position as a secured creditor and the value of the underlying collateral. The bankruptcy court has recognized the Company’s position and has acknowledged the Company’s first lien.  In the bankruptcy filings the land held as collateral was valued in excess of $10,000,000.  The Company expects the collection of this receivable to come in the next twelve months though the timing of the ultimate collection of this obligation may be delayed depending on the timing of the completion of the bankruptcy case.  The Company has the right to either sell the note to a third party or await ultimate resolution of the bankruptcy.  

This note receivable is pledged as collateral on a $540,000 note with Plains Capital Bank.

Property and Equipment:

The cost of equipment, furniture and fixtures is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two to seven years, using the straight-line method.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives.  The buildings are amortized over forty years, which approximates their estimated useful lives.  Building improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from seven to forty years.  Upon sale, retirement or abandonment of assets, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and gains or losses are reflected in income.  Repairs and maintenance expenses, which do not extend asset lives, are expensed as incurred.

Investments:

The Company accounts for its investments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.  The Company’s securities are considered available for sale and are valued at fair value for financial statement purposes.  Fair value is based on quoted market prices.  The Company uses the average cost method for determining the cost basis on realized gains and losses of investments.  The unrealized holding gain or loss represents the net change in the fair value of those securities and is shown in other comprehensive income.

Advertising:

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred or the first time the advertising takes place.  During 2004, the Company had advertising expenses of $125,602 compared to $99,112 in 2003.  At December 31, 2004, the Company had prepaid advertising costs of approximately $4,500.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets:

Intangible assets, which primarily consist of goodwill, bingo licenses and non-compete covenants resulting from the acquisition of bingo entities or Hospitality companies, are periodically reviewed by management to evaluate the future economic benefits or potential impairments, which may affect their recorded values.  Goodwill, which represents the excess of the cost of assets acquired over the fair market value of those tangible assets on the date of their acquisition, was amortized over various periods ranging from three to fifteen years in 2001 only, consistent with the estimated useful life of the goodwill.  Under Statement on Financial Accounting Standard 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill acquired in a business combination for which the acquisition date is after June 30, 2001, shall not be amortized, but shall be reviewed for impairment in value.

Since 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized.  These indefinite live assets only pertain to the State of Texas.  The Company has one class of asset that is classified as indefinite and not subject to periodic amortization.  This class of asset is known as a “Grandfathered License.”   In discussing these “Grandfathered Licenses”, a distinction should be made as to the types of bingo licenses the Company owns.  There are two classes of commercial lessor licenses in Texas, a “Grandfathered” and a “Tier.”  The “Grandfathered” license referred to any license that was in existence prior to 1989 in which a non renewal has not occurred.  A “Grandfathered” license allows the operator to have up to six (6) charities in a hall and charge up to $600 per session in rent.  These licenses are regulated by the Texas Lottery Commission and must be renewed each year.  There is an annual fee associated with the renewal of these licenses, which is expensed throughout the year.  There is a limited number of these licenses available and they are traded between individuals and organizations.  They are a traded commodity, in that they have a cash value which is determined by the market place.  These licenses can only be revoked or canceled by failing to renew them by the renewal date or for illegal activity.  

A Tier license is deemed by the company to have no value as an asset and are not carried as an asset on the Company’s books.  A “Tier” commercial lessor license is any license issued after 1989 or any license issued prior to 1989 in which a non renewal occurred.  A “Tier” license allows the operator to have one (1) charity in a hall and charge up to $600 per session in rent.  These licenses are issued, renewed, and applied for through the Texas Lottery Commission.  The only cost associated with obtaining and keeping this type of license is an annual renewal fee, which is expensed throughout the year.  These licenses are not sold on a negotiated basis, at this time.  There is currently a moratorium on this license for new operators through December 2005.  

In South Carolina there are promoter and solicitor licenses with set fees that are renewed each year and expensed during the year.  In Alabama there is a business license which is based upon the gross amount of rents, these too are renewed annually and expensed during the year.  These licenses are not recorded as assets and therefore have no related depreciation.

Non-compete covenants are amortized over the periods of the stated benefits, ranging from one to five years, and are monitored for contractual compliance.  If the projected undiscounted future cash flows related to the intangible assets are less than the recorded value, the intangible asset is written down to fair value.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company generates revenues from the following sources:

(i) Bingo:

Bingo rents, paper sales and head tax payments are received from charitable organizations through various sub-lease agreements of the Company's bingo centers. Revenues are determined by customer attendance, spending and prize payouts, as well as state regulations, which may dictate the number of bingo sessions a charity can conduct and rent limits that can be paid to a commercial lessor, such as the Company.  Revenues that are know and consistent each month, such as rents, are accrued and accounted for in the month that they are due.  Revenues that are generated in undefined amounts, such as customer attendance, are recognized when they are received.

(ii) Catering and Party Rental:

Revenue is also earned from the Hospitality division which charges fees for catering, staffing, bar service, event coordination, and party event and tent rentals.  Revenues are accrued and accounted for in the month in which the services are performed.

(iii) Other:

Other revenues are earned concessions, vending machines, bingo supplies, and other sources.  Other revenues are recognized when they are received.

Income Taxes:

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis and financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The Company periodically evaluates its deferred tax assets and adjusts any related valuation allowance based on the estimate of the amount of such deferred tax assets which the Company believes does not meet the “more-likely-than-not” recognition criteria.

Per Share Data:

Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations by the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding during each period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the fully diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, which includes dilutive stock options and convertible shares.  

Stock Based Compensation:

The Company measures compensation cost for its stock based compensation plans under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”.  The difference, if any, between the fair value of the stock on the date of grant over the exercise price for the stock is accrued over the related vesting period.  SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, (“SFAS 123”) requires companies that continue to use APB 25 to account for its stock-based compensation plan to make proforma disclosures of net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share as if SFAS No. 123 had been applied.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.

The options granted have exercise prices which approximate fair value and accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the compensatory stock options in the consolidated financial statements.  Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock options been determined consistent with FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”, the Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been decreased (increased) to the pro-forma amounts indicated below:

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The following assumptions were for grants in 2004; dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 120%, risk free interest rates of 5.5% and an expected life of approximately 10 years.  The following assumptions were for grants in  2003; dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 113%, risk free interest rates of 5.0%, and an expected life of approximately 10 years.  

Comprehensive Income:

The Company has other comprehensive income related to unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.

Critical Accounting Policies

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - amends SFAS 133 effective after June 30, 2003 for “Financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity - establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  Effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, Inventory Costs – an amendment to ARB No. 43, Ch 4, clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage), requires items those items to be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal” and that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversions be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities effective November 2004.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transaction – an amendment to FASB No. 66 & 67 amends No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions.  It also amends FASB No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions.  This is effective the fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets – an amendment to APB No. 29 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R), Share Based Payments – an amendment to SFAS 123 amends SFAS 123 to establish standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services.  It also address transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.  This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based transactions.  This Statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in Statement 123 as originally issued and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services.  This statement is effective for public entities that file as small business issuers  as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005.  The Company does not believe that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material effect on its financial statements.

NOTE 2 - MATERIAL ACQUISITIONS, OPENINGS, CLOSINGS AND REORGANIZATIONS

2004

In April we acquired Bingo Barn in Midland for $400,000.  This included a sale of real estate in the amount of $150,000, which was executed with a down payment of $30,000 cash and a note in the amount of $120,000 and a bingo license, all equipment, inventory and supplies associated with the bingo hall for $70,000 cash and a note in the amount of $180,000.  The Bingo Barn purchase allowed the company to reorganize and optimize our operations in the Midland/Odessa market.  The purchase gave us the only night time bingo hall in the city, allowed us to market three halls together, one in Midland and two in Odessa, and kept the competition from entering the market place.

In South Carolina, we opened Coveralls Bingo in Walterboro and a temporary hall in Charleston called Meeting Place.  Meeting Place closed in December 2004.  We began the process in 2004 to open “C” bingo halls in Conway and Aiken.  The Conway and Aiken locations will open in early 2005.  

As part of the acquisition of Word of Mouth Catering and Premiere Party Rental, which took place in 2001, the Company entered into three employment agreements with the principles of those businesses.  In 2003, one of those employment agreements was amicably terminated under terms agreeable to both parties.  That employee is now an independent contractor who acts as a consultant to the Company on an “as needed” basis.  In 2004, the employment agreement with the remaining two employees ended as per the original agreements, one of those employees has left the company, and the other continues his employment with the Company on an at-will basis.  As of December 31, 2004, the remaining salary expense associated with the remaining two employment agreements is approximately $0.

2003

In November 2003, the Company acquired Bingo Idea, a bingo hall in Odessa, Texas and has planned an additional acquisition of Bingo Barn in Midland, Texas. Once the Bingo Barn purchase is complete, the Company will reorganize and optimize its new and existing halls in the Midland/Odessa market.  This should occur in early 2004.

Also in Texas, the Company reorganized its arrangement at Grandview Bingo in Amarillo.  Grandview was a slightly under performing hall.  A competing hall, which was larger and more profitable, was unable to continue their lease in their location.  As a result, the Company subleased its space at Grandview Bingo to that charity group.  The Company receives a profitable markup for this sublease arrangement each month, but do not receive per-session rent or take any part in their bingo operations.

In Alabama, the Company discontinued its Amusement operations on January 31, 2003, sold the machines, and eliminated the employees associated with that business.  The Company also introduced “Lightning Bingo” in Montgomery.  Lightning Bingo is a quick paced bingo game with more frequent games and smaller payouts.  Bingo operations in Alabama are facing increased competition from “Indian Casinos” in the area.  These casinos, which are mini-gaming centers, operate under different rules with different pay-out structures than our charitable bingo halls in the same market.

In South Carolina, the Company changed By George Bingo in Georgetown from a ‘B’ hall to a ‘C’ hall.  ‘C’ halls in South Carolina can play every day but have smaller prizes than ‘B’ halls.  By George is performing much better as a ‘C’ hall.  As part of a continued reorganization and optimization plan, the Company also moved Bonanza Bingo from Goose Creek to a new location in Ladson.

(b) Legal:

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 June 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 completed depositions of Mr. Furtney and a corporate representative of the Furtney controlled companies discussed above on September 20, 2000 and plans to pursue and defend this action vigorously.  The case was heard in January 2005.  Judgment was found against the Company for approximately $1,000,000 plus attorney’s fees.  The Company accrued $1,200,000 in the 2004 financial statements related to this case.

Lenrich Associates LLC v. Littlefield Corporation, et al; Civil Action No. 00-CP-10-4742, South Carolina Court of Common Pleas, County of Charleston Lenrich Associates brought this action against the Company based on a commercial lease guaranty that was signed by the Company.  The tenant on the lease was Concessions Corp., a subsidiary of the Company and had been used as the location of the “Lucky II’ facility, which was closed in early 2000.  The lease expired in February 2003.  Because rental payments under the lease were in arrears, Lenrich Associates sought to enforce the guaranty against the Company.  The Company’s liability under the guaranty was capped at the lesser of two years of fixed and additional rent or the amount of fixed and additional rent corresponding to the time period mandated by South Carolina law.  A settlement agreement had been reached for $147,500, which has been accrued for by the Company in June 2002.  However, the plaintiff withdrew their support of the settlement agreement shortly thereafter.  The Company has petitioned the court to enforce the settlement agreement and is currently awaiting this decision.

Littlefield Corp. v. Dye, Civil Action No. 2002-cp-08-478. The Company filed an action on March 6, 2002, in Berkeley County, South Carolina for collection on a note signed by Danny C. Dye.  The note, which was executed on December 10, 1998, was in the amount of $80,000.  The Company alleges that Dye still owes $58,481 toward the principle balance, plus $19,257 in accrued interest through December 31, 2002.  On January 14, 2003, Mr. Dye amended his answer to assert counterclaims against the Company for fraudulent breach of contract and violation of the South Carolina Payment of Wages Act based on allegations that the Company failed to pay Dye amounts due under an employment contract.  Mr. Dye has alleged that the Company owes him $375,000 in unpaid salary and is seeking treble damages under the Payment of Wages Act for a total amount of $1,250,000 in damages.  The Company believes that the counterclaims are without merit and the Company plans to contest them vigorously.

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.  The Plaintiff sought actual damages in excess of $350,000 and an unspecified amount of punitive damages. The Company believed this lawsuit was completely without merit; however, 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 appealed this decision with the South Carolina appellate court, and the judgment was affirmed.  The Company applied for a re-hearing with the appellate court, which threw out their original opinion.  However, their new opinion also reaffirmed the judgment.  The Company is now in the process of filing an appeal to the South Carolina Supreme Court.  The total amount of the award has been accrued for in the financial statements plus $300,000 in post judgment interest. The actual damages of $157,000 were paid in 2001.

George M. Harrison, et al. v. Littlefield Corporation  Civil Action No. 4:04-1038-25  This action is currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, Florence Division.  Plaintiffs were the owners of a parcel of real property in Darlington, South Carolina that was leased to Darlington Music Company, a former subsidiary of Littlefield Corporation.  In 1990, Plaintiffs, who were also the owners of Darlington Music Company at that time, caused Darlington Music Company to enter into a 15-year lease of the real property they owned.  Darlington Music Company was later acquired from Plaintiffs by Littlefield Corporation’s predecessor, American Bingo & Gaming.  This business continued to operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary until such time as changes in South Carolina law regarding video gaming required that the business be wound down.  In May 2001, Plaintiffs later received a judgment in the amount of $199,148 against Darlington Music Company for nonpayment of rent.  Through this action, Plaintiffs are now attempting to enforce that judgment against Littlefield Corporation on the basis of various legal theories.  Littlefield intends to vigorously defend this action and will also ask, if possible, to have the underlying judgment against its former subsidiary reexamined.  

(c) Stock Repurchase Plan:

During the second quarter of 1998, the Company authorized a stock repurchase program to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock.  On February 8, 2000 the Company amended the stock repurchase program to permit purchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of its common stock at such time and prices the Company deems advantageous.  The amount was subsequently increased to 3,000,000 shares. There is no commitment or obligation on the part of the Company to purchase any particular number of shares, and the program may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion.  Any shares so repurchased will be held as treasury shares and be available for general corporate purposes. No shares were repurchased in 2004 or 2003.

(d) Concentration of Credit Risk:

The Company maintains its cash in banks which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000.  At December 31, 2004, cash in banks exceeded FDIC coverage by approximately $174,000.

(e) 401(K) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company has a 401(K) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan that was instituted in 2001.  In 2004 employees were allowed to defer up to 90% of their wages to a maximum of $12,000, tax deferred, for retirement purposes.  The Company has no obligation to match any of the employee deferrals and contributions to the plan are at the discretion of management.  At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company contributed $0 and $0 respectively, into the Plan.

(f) Employee Stock Purchase Plan

During 2002, the Company implemented the 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan to allow employees of Littlefield Corporation and any subsidiaries to acquire stock ownership in the Company.  The Company has reserved 250,000 shares under this plan.  Offering of shares under this plan will commence  1) on the first day of each fiscal year and will end on the last day of the fiscal year or  2) at the sole discretion of the administrators.  Any offerings that remain unsold during the offering period shall expire and shall be made available for grant in future offering periods.  Eligible employees shall elect to make contributions between 1% and 10% of gross compensation.  The exercise price of any shares purchased by a participant shall be at eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant or date of exercise.   At December 31, 2004, the Company has a subscription receivable from participants in the amount of $0.  

(g) The Company has entered into three-year employment agreements with two individuals.  Should the Company terminate the employment agreements without cause, the Company would be liable for salary compensation and the cash value of the Company paid portion of any insurance coverage owed for the remaining term of employment.  As of December 31, 2004, the remaining salary expense associated with these two employment agreements is approximately $0.

NOTE 15 - SEGMENTS

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131," Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS 131) in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.  SFAS 131 establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders.  SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas.

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance.

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 accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except that depreciation and amortization are allocated to each segment from functional department totals based on certain assumptions which include, among other things, revenues.  Also, the Company's CODM does not view segment results below operating profit (loss), therefore, net interest income, other income, and the provision for income taxes are not broken out by segment below.

The entertainment segment encompasses charitable bingo hall operations in Texas, Alabama, and South Carolina.  The hospitality segment includes income from party and tent rentals, catering services and event planning fees. These segments were identified based on the different nature of the services and legislative monitoring and, in general, the type of customers for those services.

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