Item 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the combined financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this report. Some statements contained in the Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Litigation
Reform Act, which involve risks and uncertainties, including the risks and
uncertainties discussed below, as well as other risks set forth in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Should these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our
future performance and actual results of operations may differ materially from
those expected or intended.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
2000 discussed below are our results of operations. The results of operations
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 discussed below are the
combined results of operations of the predecessor companies. As a result of a
substantially different capital structure of our company in comparison to that
of the predecessor companies, and of the applications of purchase accounting in
connection with the acquisition, our results of operations may not be entirely
comparable to the results of operations of the predecessor companies.

Three months ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three months ended June 30, 1999
For the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, Dubuque was a
two-casino market consisting of the Diamond Jo and the Greyhound Park. Casino
gaming win in the Dubuque market increased 1.6% to $20.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 from $20.6 million for the three months ended June
30, 1999. We believe this increase was primarily due to increased player's club
promotions and a change in slot mix at the Greyhound track. Admissions to the
casinos in the Dubuque market decreased 1.6% to 518,874 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 from 527,382 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. This
can be primarily attributed to our decrease in bus group and banquet passengers
of 6,178 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. For the three months ended
June 30, 2000 our share of the Dubuque market casino gaming win decreased to
54.5% from 55.5% and casino admissions decreased to 52.6% from 53.3%, in each
case, for the three months ended June 30, 1999. We believe our market share
decrease was primarily due to change in slot mix at the Greyhound Park and a
decrease in group bus passengers.
Net Revenues remained constant at $11.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Our admissions for the three months ended June 30,
2000 decreased 3.1% to 272,753 from 281,354 for the three months ended June 30,
1999 primarily due to a decrease in bus and banquet passengers of 6,178 for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the three months ended June 30,
1999. The decrease in bus passengers is due to our change in marketing strategy.
For the three months ended June 30, 2000 our win per admission increased 3.1% to
$41.87 from $40.62 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Our win per gaming
position increased 4.0% to $137.59 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
$132.33 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Our casino revenues remained
relatively constant at $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000
and 1999. Casino revenues were derived 81.3% from slot machines and 18.7% from
table games for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to 80.4% from slot
machines and 19.6% from table games for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
Food and beverage revenues, other revenues and promotional allowances remained
substantially unchanged at $0.5 million for three months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999.
Casino operating expenses increased 10.6% to $5.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 from $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999. This increase was due primarily to an increase in player points expense of
approximately $278,000 due to a triple point promotion and an increase in casino
and players club promotions of approximately $259,000 over last year. Food and
beverage expenses were substantially unchanged at $0.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased 16.4% to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000 from $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 primarily due to
a decrease in professional fees of $135,000, a decrease in management bonuses of
$93,000, a decrease in labor expense of $74,000 due to a remodeling project, a
decrease in group subsidies of $71,000, and a decrease in employee insurance
claims of $26,000. This was partially offset by an increase in head tax paid to
the Dubuque Racing Association of $136,000. This tax commenced on April 1, 2000
per our agreement with the Dubuque Racing Association and continues thereafter.
We are required to pay the sum of $.50 for each patron admitted on the boat,
which, based on annual attendance, would approximate $500,000 annually.
Non-recurring expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1999 included $0.4
million related to sale of business and certain litigation costs incurred by the
predecessor companies.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 62.5% to $0.9 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $0.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to the amortization of
goodwill of $0.4 million that was recorded in connection with the July 1999
acquisition. Net interest expense was $2.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The
increase in interest expense is due to the issuance of $71 million senior
secured notes at 12.25% interest rate related to the acquisition in July of
1999.
-13-
Six months ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six months ended June 30, 1999
For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, Dubuque was a
two-casino market consisting of the Diamond Jo and the Greyhound Park. Casino
gaming win in the Dubuque market increased 4.6% to $40.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from $38.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999. We believe this increase was primarily due to better weather in January
2000 than January 1999, an increase in our table games revenue, an increase in
our player's club promotions and a change in slot mix at the Greyhound track.
Admissions to the casinos in the Dubuque market increased 1.4% to 968,791 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 from 955,738 for the six months ended June
30, 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000 our share of the Dubuque market
casino gaming win decreased to 55.5% from 57.4% and casino admissions decreased
to 53.7% from 55.2%, in each case, for the six months ended June 30, 1999. We
believe our market share decrease was primarily due to a change in slot mix at
the Greyhound Park and the decrease in group bus passengers at our facility.
Net Revenues increased 1.2% to $23.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This
was primarily due to increased casino revenues which arose from an increase in
table games revenue of $153,000 due to hold percentage increasing from 19.4% for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 to 22.0% for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and an increase in slot revenue of $132,000 due to greater emphasis on
promotions geared towards our players club members. Our admissions for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 decreased 1.3% to 520,659 from 527,289 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. This was primarily due to the decrease in bus group
and banquet passengers of 10,662 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared
to the six months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in bus passengers is due to
our change in marketing strategy. For the six months ended June 30, 2000 our win
per admission increased 2.5% to $42.77 from $41.71 for the six months ended June
30, 1999. Consistent with an increase in net revenues, win per gaming position
increased 2.7% to $131.49 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $128.04
for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Our casino revenues increased 1.3% to
$22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $22.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999. Casino revenues were derived 80.5% from slot
machines and 19.5% from table games for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to 80.9% from slot machines and 19.1% from table games for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. Food and beverage revenues, other revenues and
promotional allowances remained substantially unchanged at $0.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.
Casino operating expenses increased 7.7% to $10.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999. This increase was due primarily to an increase in player points expense of
approximately $425,000 due to a triple point promotion and an increase in casino
and players club promotions of approximately $307,000. Food and beverage
expenses were substantially unchanged at $1.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
6.4% to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $3.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 primarily due to a decrease in group
subsidies of $105,000, a decrease management bonuses of $102,000 and a decrease
in professional fees of $57,000. This decrease was offset by the increase in
head tax paid to the Dubuque Racing Association of $136,000. This tax commenced
on April 1, 2000 per our agreement with the Dubuque Racing Association and
continues thereafter. We are required to pay the sum of $.50 for each patron
admitted on the boat, which, based on annual attendance, would approximate
$500,000 annually. Non-recurring expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1999
included $0.6 million related to sale of business and certain litigation costs
incurred by the predecessor companies.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 62.7% to $1.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from $1.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to the amortization of
goodwill of $0.7 million that was recorded in connection with the July 1999
acquisition. Net interest expense was $4.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000 and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase
in interest expense is due to the issuance of $71 million senior secured notes
at 12.25% interest rate related to the acquisition in July of 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash balance decreased $0.5 million during the six month period
ended June 30, 2000 to $7,435,731 from $7,918,742 at December 31, 1999 (after
giving effect to the bond interest payment of $4.3 million made on June 30,
2000).
Cash flows from operating activities of $1.8 million for the six month
period consisted of net income of $0.7 million increased by non cash charges of
$2.2 million, principally depreciation and amortization, and a decrease in
working capital of $1.1 million. The change in working capital is primarily
comprised of a decrease in accrued expenses of $1,022,000 relating to the bond
issuance and the acquisition.
Cash flows used for investing activities for the six month period ended
June 30, 2000 were $1.1 million. The primary use of these funds were for capital
expenditures which were used to commence the remodeling of our entire casino.
This is being done as an effort to improve the gaming experience for our
patrons.
Cash flows from financing activities for the period ended June 30, 2000
of $1.1 million reflects distributions to members of $0.9 million and bond
issuance costs of $0.2 million.
We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from operations will be
sufficient to satisfy our working capital requirements, maintenance, and capital
expenditures and other cash obligations. However, we cannot assure you that this
will be the case. If cash on hand and cash generated from operations are
insufficient to meet these obligations, we may have to refinance our debt or
sell some or all of our assets to meet our obligations.
Under the terms of the indenture governing the notes, we have the
ability to obtain a new credit facility to borrow up to $10.0 million if we
determine that the availability of this facility would benefit our operations.
As a condition to the granting of our gaming license, we were required
by the gaming commission to spend up to a maximum of $11.5 million toward the
development and construction of a hotel contiguous to the Diamond Jo portside
facility. At the April 20, 2000 gaming commission meeting, the contingency was
lifted and our license was renewed with no future requirement toward
development.
