Note 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements -- The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 31, 1994, the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity for the three months ended October 31, 1994, the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended October 31, 1994 and 1993, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended October 31, 1994 and 1993, have been prepared by the Company and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's July 31, 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders. The results of operations for the three month period ended October 31, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. The Company's independent public accountants have made an unaudited interim review of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended October 31, 1994 and 1993, in accordance with professional standards and procedures established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A report from the independent public accountants regarding the unaudited review of the interim financial statements is included herein in Part II, Item 6 (a), Exhibit 15. Note 2. Net Income Per Share -- Net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding for each period presented. Note 3. Regulatory Environment -- The gaming industry in which the Company operates is subject to extensive regulatory supervision and, accordingly, operating results could be affected by legislative and regulatory changes or changes in the policies of, or application of the laws by governmental entities. See also the discussion under the caption "Regulatory and Tax Environment" set forth on page 25 of the Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1994. Note 4. Contingent Receivable -- In 1993, the Company announced it had entered into a management operating agreement with one of the bidders for a casino development in New Orleans. In August 1993, the bid was awarded to another operator and the initial bidder's participation in the project ended. Subsequently, the Company's former principal joined with others and they were awarded the contract to operate the New Orleans casino development project. Pursuant to settlement of a dispute arising with the initial bidder, the Company is to receive $5,000,000 for expenses and pre-development services from the initial bidder. Previously, this receivable, in part, had been contingent (at least as to timing) on the operator completing its financing. The financing was completed in November 1994 and the receivable is due at the end of December 1994. While the Company has received an acknowledgement from a representative of the obligors that these amounts are due and the obligor is seeking financing, in view of unavailability of enough information at this time for the Company to fully evaluate this item and the uncertainity as to when collection will occur, the Company is currently planning to record realization only upon collection of this receivable. The Company will reflect collections of this item as a reduction of expenses. Note 5. Labor Contracts -- In November 1994, the Company agreed to a new three year contract with the Culinary Workers Union and Bartenders Union covering approximately 2,500 employees in Las Vegas. Another contract covering approximately 20 theatrical stage employees has expired at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and a tentative agreement has been reached but not yet been ratified by these employees. A work slow-down or stoppage is not expected in the Las Vegas showroom as a result of this expired contract. Note 6. Exercise of Lease Purchase Option -- Two of the Company's resorts in the Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania are operated under leases the initial 20-year-lease terms of which expire on January 31, 1995. The leases include purchase options at the fair market value of the lease properties excluding personal property, goodwill, certain structures and other intangibles. In November 1994, the Company gave notice to the landlord that the Company will exercise its purchase options to acquire the two resort properties in fiscal 1995. The fair market value purchase price will be determined by independent appraisals. The Company has engaged an independent appraiser and the lessor has notified the Company it has engaged a separate independent appraiser. The Company is uncertain as to the amount or when the purchase option payments will be made. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash flow from operations together with available debt capacity are the primary components providing the Company financial flexibility to explore expansion opportunities and provide adequate liquidity. Net cash provided from operating activities was $37.8 million in the first three months of fiscal 1995, compared with $54.4 million in the same period of fiscal 1994. The decrease in fiscal 1995 is primarily attributable to lower net income and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses which reduced the cash generated by operating activities. At October 31, 1994, the Company's cash and cash equivalent investments were $155.9 million compared with $143.5 million at July 31, 1994. Cash used for investing activities in the three months ended October 31, 1994 was primarily for capital expenditure projects at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Caesars Atlantic City and the Caesars Pocono Resorts in Pennsylvania. Room and suite remodeling as well as ongoing construction of the Magical Empire were the major capital expenditures in Las Vegas. The Magical Empire is expected to combine dining and intimate magical experiences in a new structure adjacent to the casino and is scheduled to open in calendar 1995. At Caesars Atlantic City building modifications are under construction to lease approximately 22,500 square feet to "Planet Hollywood" for a restaurant and entertainment facility scheduled to be opened in the spring of 1995. Twenty new Roman Tower Suites are nearly completed at Caesars Pocono Palace in Pennsylvania and are expected to be opened in stages by January 1, 1995. See Note 6 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the payment to be made for the exercise of the lease purchase option for two of the Pocono resorts. The Company expects to be able to meet its future debt obligations, finance operations and capital expenditures, as well as provide for a substantial expansion of operations through internally generated cash flow, liquidation of cash equivalent investments, future borrowings (including amounts available under the bank credit facilities), capital lease transactions and/or sales of equity and debt securities. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of net income for the three month periods ended October 31, 1994 and October 31, 1993 Contribution to revenue and operating income by location, interest and income taxes for the periods, were as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended October 31, 1994 1993 Revenue Nevada $125,614 $155,224 New Jersey 103,776 94,036 Earnings of unconsolidated affiliate 1,479 - Casino/hotel operations 230,869 249,260 Pocono Resorts 14,597 14,492 Other (A) 7,045 5,331 Total revenue $252,511 $269,083 Contributions to operating income Nevada $ 13,376 $ 27,484 New Jersey 24,757 22,642 Earnings of unconsolidated affiliate 1,479 - Casino/hotel operations 39,612 50,126 Pocono Resorts 4,760 5,077 Other expenses (B) (3,513) (4,601) Operating income 40,859 50,602 Interest income 1,396 928 Interest expense, net (4,861) (5,110) Income before income taxes 37,394 46,420 Income taxes 14,210 18,572 Net income $ 23,184 $ 27,848 (A) Other revenue is primarily from merchandising operations. (B) Other expenses include the contribution from merchandising operations and corporate expenses. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Nevada Operations Revenue decreased 19 percent and contribution to operating income decreased 51 percent at the Nevada properties in the three months ended October 31, 1994 compared with the same prior year period. The lower casino revenue and operating income during the quarter resulted from a significantly lower table game win percentage compared with the year- earlier quarter. Casino losses to a small number of high- wagering table game customers in Las Vegas resulted in a table game win percentage that was 7.9 percentage points lower than last year's first-quarter table game win percentage. This lower win percentage combined with reduced table game activity more than offset the record quarterly slot results. The Nevada operations realized all-time quarterly slot machine records in both volume and win in the quarter ended October 31, 1994, primarily attributable to enhanced marketing programs. The provision for doubtful accounts at the Nevada operations decreased by $12.2 million due to a 13 percent reduction in credit issued and lower use of the provision as a marketing tool to high-wagering customers. There was also a reduction in operating expenses resulting from the decline in table game win and activity when comparing the respective fiscal quarters. Caesars New Jersey Revenue from Caesars Atlantic City for the first quarter ended October 31, 1994 increased 10 percent and contribution to operating income increased 9 percent from the same prior year quarter. Record results for any previous quarter in both casino activity and win were realized at Caesars Atlantic City with record results from slot machines being the primary contributor to the first quarter improvement. Another positive impact on the quarterly comparisons came from Caesars Atlantic City's Simulcast Casino which opened with horse race betting and poker in October 1993 and subsequently the introduction of other games. Increased casino costs and higher marketing expenses, primarily related to more extensive casino busing programs, partially offset the casino revenue increase in New Jersey. Unconsolidated Affiliate During the fiscal 1995 first quarter, the Company had a positive contribution to revenue and operating income from an unconsolidated affiliate in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Caesars World has a one-third ownership of the company operating the casino on behalf of the Ontario government. The casino in Windsor opened in May 1994. Other Expenses The reduction in other expenses of $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 compared with the year earlier quarter was primarily attributable to reimbursement of pre- opening expenses incurred in prior periods for the operation in Windsor, Canada and improved contribution from the Company's merchandising operations. Income Taxes The higher income tax rate in the first fiscal quarter of last year was primarily due to the adoption of FASB 109 and a retroactive tax rate adjustment during the first quarter of fiscal 1994. PART II. Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings See Item 3 of the Form 10-K of the Company for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1994 which is hereby incorporated herein. Item 2. Changes in Securities On December 8, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment (the "Amendment") to the Rights Agreement, dated as of January 10, 1989, between the Company and Morgan Shareholder Services Trust Company (the "Rights Agreement"), which affects the Rights previously issued to shareholders of the Company pursuant to the Rights Agreement. The amendment requires the Board of Directors to determine whether it is in the best interests of the Company to decide that a person or entity which would otherwise meet the criteria of an "Unqualified Gaming Person" (as defined in the Rights Agreement) should be so deemed by the Board. No other provisions of the Rights Agreement were affected. Item 5. Other Information With reference to the Company's 25 percent participation in the limited partnership selected as the preferred bidder to negotiate a lease to operate a gaming facility in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, a referendum was approved by the voters in November 1994 to allow slot machines and other games of chance. Negotiations are currently in process with respect to this lease opportunity, however, the ultimate composition and size of the project is now under discussion and the outcome of these negotiations and the obtaining of the ultimate approvals are uncertain. See the "Expansion and Growth Opportunities" section of Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1994 for a further discussion of this and other expansion activities.
