INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Riviera Holdings Corporation
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Riviera Holdings Corporation (the "Company") and subsidiaries as of June 30,
2000, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and of
cash flows for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Riviera Holdings Corporation as of
December 31, 1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated February 14, 2000, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of December 31, 1999, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation
to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Riviera Holdings Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Riviera Operating
Corporation ("ROC") (together, the "Company"), were incorporated on January 27,
1993, in order to acquire all assets and liabilities of Riviera, Inc.
Casino-Hotel Division on June 30, 1993, pursuant to a plan of reorganization.
In August 1995, Riviera Gaming Management, Inc. ("RGM") incorporated in the
State of Nevada as a wholly owned subsidiary of ROC for the purpose of obtaining
management contracts in Nevada and other jurisdictions. In March 1997 Riviera
Gaming Management of Colorado was incorporated in the State of Colorado, and in
August 1997 Riviera Black Hawk, Inc. ("RBH") was incorporated in the State of
Colorado for the purpose of developing a casino in Black Hawk, Colorado which
opened February 4, 2000.
Nature of Operations
The Company owns and operates the Riviera Hotel & Casino ("Riviera Las Vegas")
on the Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada and in February of 2000, opened its casino in
Black Hawk, Colorado ("Riviera Black Hawk"). Riviera Black Hawk is owned through
Riviera Black Hawk, Inc. ("RBH"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ROC. Riviera
Gaming Management of Colorado, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of RGM, and
manages the casino. RGM provides services to Peninsula Gaming Partners LLC with
respect to that Company's riverboat, Diamond Jo, operating in Dubuque, Iowa. RGM
has notified Peninsula Gaming that it will end its consulting arrangement
effective August 31, 2000. RGM also managed the Four Queens Hotel and Casino
(owned by Elsinore Corporation) in downtown Las Vegas from August 1996 until
September 1999 when it received notice of the contract termination, effective
December 30, 1999.
Casino operations are subject to extensive regulation in the states of Nevada
and Colorado and various state and local regulatory agencies. Management
believes that the Company's procedures for supervising casino operations,
recording casino and other revenues, and granting credit comply, in all material
respects, with the applicable regulations.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its
wholly owned subsidiary ROC and various indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All
material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
6
The financial information at June 30, 2000, and for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 is unaudited. However, such information
reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments)
that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim
periods. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be
achieved for the entire year.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December
31, 1999, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10K.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates used by
the Company include estimated useful lives for depreciable and amortizable
assets, certain accrued liabilities and the estimated allowance for receivables.
Actual results may differ from estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents and short term investments - restricted
Amounts related to the Riviera Black Hawk casino project in Black Hawk, Colorado
are restricted in use to that project or for the related 13% Second Mortgage
Notes interest payments. The restrictions were removed in August 2000.
Earnings Per Share
Basic per share amounts are computed by dividing net income by weighted average
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share amounts are
computed by dividing net income by weighted average shares outstanding plus the
dilutive effect of common share equivalents.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Standards - The Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives," which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. This statement defines derivatives and
requires qualitative disclosure of certain financial and descriptive information
about a company's derivatives. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 in the year
ending December 31, 2001. Management has not finalized its analysis of this SFAS
or the impact of this SFAS on the Company or the Company's future consolidated
financial statements.
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"). SAB
101 clarigies existing accounting principles related to revenue recognition in
financial statements. The Company is required to comply with the provisions of
SAB 101 by the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal 2001. Due to the nature of the
7
Company's operations, management does not believe that SAB 101 will have a
significant impact on the Company's financial statements.
2. LONG TERM DEBT AND COMMITMENTS
On August 13, 1997, the Company issued 10% Second Mortgage Notes ("the 10%
Notes") with a principal amount of $175 million. The Notes were issued at a
discount in the amount of $2.2 million. The discount is being amortized over the
life of the 10% Notes on a straight-line basis.
On June 3, 1999, Riviera Black Hawk, Inc. ("RBH"), a wholly owned subsidiary,
closed a $45 million private placement of 13% Second Mortgage Notes. The net
proceeds of the placement were used to fund the completion of RBH's casino
project in Black Hawk, Colorado. The Company has not guaranteed the $45 million
RBH Notes, but has agreed to a "Keep Well" of $5 million per year (or an
aggregate limited to $10 million) for the 3 years of RBH operations beginning
with the second quarter of 2000 to cover (i) the $5.85 million interest on such
Notes if not paid by RBH and (ii) the amount by which RBH cash flow is less than
$9.0 million per year as follows:
- ----------------------- ----------------------------------- --------------------
Period Dates Amount
- ----------------------- ----------------------------------- --------------------
Operating Period #1 April 1, 2000 - December 31, 2000 $6.75 Million
- ----------------------- ----------------------------------- --------------------
Operating Period #2 January 1, 2001 - December 31, 2001 $9.0 Million
- ----------------------- ----------------------------------- --------------------
Operating Period #3 January 1, 2002 - December 31, 2002 $9.0 Million
- ----------------------- ----------------------------------- --------------------
Operating Period #4 January 1, 2003 - March 31, 2003 $2.25 Million
- ----------------------- ----------------------------------- --------------------
In the first quarter of 2000, RBH, the Company's 100% owned subsidiary, obtained
$9.6 million in capital lease financing for 60 months at approximately 10.5% for
RBH equipment purchases.
As a result of the scheduled opening of several new Las Vegas Strip properties
in 1999 and 2000, an estimated 38,000 jobs had to be filled, including
approximately 5,000 supervisory positions. Because of the Company's performance
and reputation, its employees were prime candidates to fill these positions. In
the third quarter of 1998 management instituted an employee retention plan ("the
Plan") which covers approximately 85 executive, supervisory and technical
support positions and includes a combination of employment contracts, stay put
agreements, bonus arrangements and salary adjustments. The period costs
associated with the Plan are being accrued as additional payroll costs and
included approximately $300,000 in 1998, $875,000 in 1999, and $500,000 year to
date. The total cost of the Plan is estimated to be approximately $2.3 million
over the period July 1, 1998 through June 30, 2001.
3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Morgens, Waterfall, Vintiadis & Company, Inc. v. Riviera Holdings
Corporation, William L. Westerman, Robert R. Barengo, Richard L. Barovick and
James N. Land, Jr., as Directors of Riviera Holdings Corporation (RHC), United
States District Court for the District of Nevada (CV-S-99-1383-JBR(RLH) (the
Nevada Action). The plaintiff in this action (Morgens, Waterfall), a
shareholder of Riviera Holdings Corporation, commenced this action in Nevada
state court on September 30, 1999, where it sought an order enjoining the
Company from obtaining a Settlement Bar Order in a separate lawsuit pending in
the United States District Court for the Central District of California (the
8
California Action). At the time, both Morgens, Waterfall and the Company were
defendants in the California Action. On October 1, 1999, RHC and the other
defendants to the Nevada Action removed the Nevada Action to the United States
District Court for the District of Nevada . As a result, Morgens, Waterfalls
effort to obtain an injunction failed, and the Company settled the California
Action.
On November 1, 1999, Morgens, Waterfall moved to remand the Nevada Action
from the Nevada federal court back to Nevada state court. The Nevada federal
court denied the motion.
On January 31, 2000, Morgens, Waterfall purported to serve an Amended
Summons and a Second Amended Verified Complaint on RHC with subsequent service
on its directors. RHC and its directors filed motions to dismiss the action. In
response, Morgens, Waterfall did not oppose the Companys motion and conceded
its claims against the Company. Morgens, Waterfall, however, asked the court for
permission to again amend its claims against the director defendants which are
based on the allegation that the directors breached their fiduciary duty in
settling the California Action. The director defendants have opposed Morgens,
Waterfalls request to again amend its complaint.
The Company is also a party to several routine lawsuits, both as plaintiff
and as defendant, arising from the normal operations of a hotel. The Company
does not believe that the outcome of such litigation, in the aggregate, will
have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of its
operations.
4. TENDER OFFER
On February 8, 2000, the Company completed a tender offer wherein 590,000 shares
of stock were purchased for $7.50 per share. The Company used its cash and cash
equivalents to purchase the tendered shares.
5. OTHER EXPENSE
Other (expense) income, net includes an insurance recovery of $1.2 million for
litigation costs on the Paulson litigation which was received in the first
quarter 2000 and an additional $100,000 in the second quarter. Such costs were
incurred in 1998 and 1999.

6. SEGMENT DISCLOSURES
The Company provides Las Vegas-style gaming, amenities and entertainment. The
Company's four reportable segments are based upon the type of service provided:
Casino, rooms, food and beverage, and entertainment. The casino segment provides
customers with gaming activities through traditional table games and slot
machines. The rooms segment provides hotel services. The food and beverage
segment provides restaurant and drink services through a variety of themed
restaurants and bars. The entertainment segment provides customers with a
variety of live Las Vegas-style shows, reviews and concerts. All other segment
activity consists of rent income, retail store income, telephone and other
activity. Intersegment revenues consist of revenues generated through
complimentary sales to customers by the casino segment. The Company evaluates
each segment's performance based on segment operating profit. The accounting
policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies
Special Factors Effecting Comparability of Results of Operations
The Riviera Black Hawk was in the development stage during the second quarter of
1999 and until February 4, 2000. Accordingly, the results of operations for the
fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999 may not be comparable.

construed as a substitute for operating income or a better indicator of
liquidity than cash flow from operating activities, which are determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting+A20 principles ("GAAP"), it is
included herein to provide additional information with respect to the ability of
the Company to meet its future debt service, capital expenditure and working
capital requirements.Although EBITDA is not necessarily a measure of the
Company's ability to fund its cash needs, management believes that certain
investors find EBITDA to be a useful tool for measuring the ability of the
Company to service its debt. EBITDA margin is EBITDA as a percent of net
revenues. The Companie's definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to other
companies' definitions.

in casino revenues of which $8.0 million were slot revenues. Riviera Las Vegas
posted strong second quarter slot revenue of $14.6 million which increased

increasing slot play. Las Vegas table games drop was down $2.1 million, or 8.8%,
from $23.4 million in the second quarter of 1999 to $21.3 million in the second
quarter of 2000. However, table games hold percentage was up 6.3% from an

increased due to higher attendance at recurring conventions and to special
events booked at the Riviera Convention Center Pavilion.
Food and beverage revenues increased approximately $2.0 million, or 29.6%, from
$6.7 million during 1999 to $8.7 million in 1999 due primarily to the opening of

the convention center banquet facilities provided additional banquet revenues of
approximately $300,000.
Riviera Las Vegas entertainment revenues increased approximately $800,000, or
15.1%, from $5.5 million in 1999 to $6.3 million in 2000, due mainly to
increased ticket sales for Splash, which reopened with a new show on December
25, 1999. Splash attendance has increased 27,300 covers, 35.2% over 1999.
Other revenues decreased approximately $200,000, or 4.9%, from $3.0 million in

in Dubuque, Iowa.

to 53.8% in 2000 due to the increased room revenues.

$4.5 million during the 1999 period to $5.6 million for the 2000 period.

million during the 1999 period to $5.0 million in the 2000 period. Entertainment
expense as a percentage of entertainment revenues increased from 76.8% in 1999

of 1998 management instituted an employee retention plan which covers
approximately 85 executive, supervisory and technical support positions in Las
Vegas and includes a combination of employment contracts, stay put agreements,
bonus arrangements and salary adjustments. The period costs associated with the
plan are being accrued as additional payroll costs and included approximately
$200,000 in the second quarter of 2000. The total cost of the plan is estimated
to be approximately $2.3 million over the period July 1, 1998 through June 30,
2001. The increased EBITDA in Las Vegas has resulted in an increase to the
incentive plan of approximately $200,000. Group health insurance costs for
non-union personnel have increased approximately $300,000. Additionally, Riviera
Gaming Management wrote off approximately $123,000 for an investment in the

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1.4 million from $8.7

changes in the components of working capital.
EBITDA
EBITDA, as defined, increased by $6.7 million, or 47.8%, from $14.1 million in
1999 to $20.8 million in 2000 due to the increased revenues contributed by
Riviera Black Hawk and Las Vegas. Preopening expenses of $1.2 million are not
included in the EBITDA calculation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2000, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $61.8 million,
including $6.7 million restricted for the Black Hawk project. The Company had
working capital of $40.0 million and shareholders equity of $23.4 million. The
cash and cash equivalents increased $12.4 million during the six months of 2000
as a result of the $10.3 million provided by operations, reduced by $13.4
million in capital expenditures at Riviera Black Hawk, Inc. of which $9.6
million was funded with proceeds from long-term borrowings and an additional
$3.6 million in capital expenditures in Las Vegas. The Company also purchased
$4.4 million in treasury stock in a tender offer during 2000.
The Company's net cash provided by operating activities was approximately
$10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $8.7 million in
1999. Management believes that cash flow from operations, combined with the
$61.8 million cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to cover the
Company's debt service and enable investment in budgeted capital expenditures
for 2000 for both the Las Vegas and Black Hawk properties.
Cash flow from operations is not expected to be sufficient to pay 100% of the
principal of the $175 million 10% Notes at maturity on August 15, 2004 and may
not be sufficient to pay the $45 million 13% Notes at maturity on May 1, 2005.
19
Accordingly, the ability of the Company and its subsidiary to repay the Notes at
maturity will be dependent upon its ability to refinance those notes. There can
be no assurance that the Company and its subsidiary will be able to refinance
the principal amount of the Notes at maturity. The 10% Notes are not redeemable
at the option of the Company until August 15, 2001, and thereafter are
redeemable at premiums beginning at 105.0% and declining each subsequent year to
par in 2003. Riviera Black Hawk, Inc. may redeem 100% of the 13% Notes beginning
May 1, 2002, at premiums beginning at 106.5% and declining each subsequent year
to par in 2004.
The 10% and 13% Note Indentures provide that, in certain circumstances, the
Company and its subsidiary must offer to repurchase the Notes upon the
occurrence of a change of control or certain other events. In the event of such
mandatory redemption or repurchase prior to maturity, the Company and its
subsidiary would be unable to pay the principal amount of the Notes without a
refinancing.
The 10% Note Indenture contains certain covenants, which limit the ability of
the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (and its unrestricted subsidiary
Riviera Black Hawk, Inc. under the 13% Notes Indenture), subject to certain
exceptions, to : (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or other
distributions, repurchase capital stock or other equity interests or
subordinated indebtedness; (iii) enter into certain transactions with
affiliates; (iv) create certain liens; sell certain assets; and (v) enter into
certain mergers and consolidations. As a result of these restrictions, the
ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness to
fund operations or to make capital expenditures is limited. In the event that
cash flow from operations is insufficient to cover cash requirements, the
Company and its subsidiaries would be required to curtail or defer certain of
their capital expenditure programs under these circumstances, which could have
an adverse effect on operations. At June 30, 2000, the Company believes that it
is in compliance with the covenants.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET MIX.
Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from changes in
interest rates. We invest our cash and cash equivalents in U.S. Treasury Bills
with maturities of 30 days or less.
As of June 30, 2000, we had $233.0 million in borrowings. The borrowings include
$175 million in notes maturing in 2004, $45 million notes maturing in 2006 and
capital leases maturing at various dates through 2005. Interest under the $175

is 13% with contingent interest if certain operating results are achieved. The
equipment loans and capital leases have interest rates ranging from 5.2% to
13.5%. The borrowings also include $.7 million in a special improvement district
bond offering with the City of Black Hawk. The Company's share of the debt on
the SID bonds of $1.2 million when the project is complete, is payable over ten
years beginning in 2000. The special improvement district bonds bear interest
at 5.5%. Other borrowings relate to leases.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Legal Proceedings
Morgens, Waterfall, Vintiadis & Company, Inc. v. Riviera Holdings
Corporation, William L. Westerman, Robert R. Barengo, Richard L. Barovick and
James N. Land, Jr., as Directors of Riviera Holdings Corporation (RHC), United
States District Court for the District of Nevada (CV-S-99-1383-JBR(RLH) (the
Nevada Action). The plaintiff in this action (Morgens, Waterfall), a
shareholder of Riviera Holdings Corporation, commenced this action in Nevada
state court on September 30, 1999, where it sought an order enjoining the
Company from obtaining a Settlement Bar Order in a separate lawsuit pending in
the United States District Court for the Central District of California (the
California Action). At the time, both Morgens, Waterfall and the Company were
defendants in the California Action. On October 1, 1999, RHC and the other
defendants to the Nevada Action removed the Nevada Action to the United States
District Court for the District of Nevada . As a result, Morgens, Waterfalls
effort to obtain an injunction failed, and the Company settled the California
Action.
On November 1, 1999, Morgens, Waterfall moved to remand the Nevada Action
from the Nevada federal court back to Nevada state court. The Nevada federal
court denied the motion.
On January 31, 2000, Morgens, Waterfall purported to serve an Amended
Summons and a Second Amended Verified Complaint on RHC with subsequent service
on its directors. RHC and its directors filed motions to dismiss the action. In
response, Morgens, Waterfall did not oppose the Companys motion and conceded
its claims against the Company. Morgens, Waterfall, however, asked the court for
permission to again amend its claims against the director defendants which are
based on the allegation that the directors breached their fiduciary duty in
settling the California Action. The director defendants have opposed Morgens,
Waterfalls request to again amend its complaint.
The Company is also a party to several routine lawsuits, both as plaintiff
and as defendant, arising from the normal operations of a hotel. The Company
does not believe that the outcome of such litigation, in the aggregate, will
have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of its
operations.
