Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring entries unless otherwise disclosed, necessary to present fairly the financial information of Peninsula Gaming Company, LLC (the "Company") for the interim periods presented and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The interim results reflected in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or other periods. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2000. Accordingly, footnote disclosure which would substantially duplicate the disclosure in the audited financial statements has been omitted in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. 2. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, such matters will not have a material effect on the financial position of the Company. 3. Line of Credit On March 12, 2001, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Senior Credit Facility") with Foothill Capital Corporation providing for commitments of up to $10.0 million which mature in 2005. The outstanding loans will bear interest at a rate equal to (a) the LIBOR rate plus 3.00% with respect to LIBOR rate loans and (b) the base rate plus 0.75% with respect to base rate loans, provided that the outstanding obligations shall not at any time bear interest at a rate per annum less than 8.50%. Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility is secured by all of the Company's assets that also secure its obligations under the Company's 12 1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2006 (the "Senior Secured Notes"). The Senior Credit Facility contains a number of restrictive covenants and agreements similar to (and in certain cases more restrictive than) those contained in the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes, including a minimum EBITDA requirement of at least $10.0 million as of the end of each fiscal quarter (calculated based upon the immediately preceding 12 month period), and certain events of default customary for senior secured facilities of this type. For purposes of the Senior Credit Facility, EBITDA is defined as consolidated net earnings (or loss), minus extraordinary gains, plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization for that period. At March 31, 2001, the Company had no borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. 4. New Accounting Pronouncements During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued EITF 00-22 "Accounting for 'Points' and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Free Products or Services to Be Delivered in the Future" to be effective for all financial statements issued after February 15, 2001. The Company adopted EITF 00-22 during the three month period ended March 31, 2001. This EITF requires, among other things, that the expected future costs associated with loyalty programs and promotions that are earned by customers during the reporting period are to be accrued in the same period with the related costs included as an offset to revenues. Such costs were $319,727 and $325,176 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Costs for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 have been reclassified from casino expense to promotional allowances in the Statements of Operations to conform 6 with the current year presentation. Adoption of EITF 00-22 had no effect on the net income to Common Members' Interest for the periods presented. 5. Reclassifications Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S 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, 2000. 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.

Casino gaming win in the Dubuque market increased 5.3% to $20.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. We believe this increase was primarily due to targeted players club promotions and a continued focus on maintenance of our slot mix and the slot mix at the Greyhound Park. Admissions to the casinos in the Dubuque market decreased 5.1% to 427,146 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from 449,917 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. We believe this decrease is primarily attributable to unusually bad weather during the first two months of fiscal year 2001 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2000 and one less gaming day during the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, our share of the Dubuque market casino admissions decreased to 53.5% from 55.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This decrease was primarily attributed to the decrease in our group passengers and an increase in banquet passengers at the Greyhound Park during the same period as a result of their new banquet facility. Consistent with the decrease in our share of casino admissions, our share of the Dubuque market casino gaming win decreased to 55.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from 56.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This decrease is attributed to a decrease in our table game revenue of $562,000, resulting from a 16.2% decrease in our table game hold percentage as well as the elimination of live poker games. If our table game hold percentage during such period had remained constant as compared to the prior year, our share of the Dubuque market casino gaming win would have only decreased to 56.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Net revenues increased 2.7% to $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $11.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 due to an increase in our slot revenue of 10.1%, or $874,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase was a result of an increased marketing focus on the addition of new players club members as well as on targeting players club promotions toward specific market segments. This increase was offset by a decrease in table games revenue of $562,000. This decrease was a direct result of a 16.2% decrease in our table game hold percentage (which, for the prior period, was higher than historical averages) and the elimination of live poker games. Our admissions for the three months ended March 31, 2001 decreased 7.8% to 228,563 from 247,906 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. We believe this decrease is primarily due to unusually bad weather during the first two months of fiscal year 2001 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2000, one less gaming day during the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000 and a decrease in our bus group and banquet passengers of 2,007 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000. For the three months ended March 31, 2001 our win per admission increased 11.6% to $48.83 from $43.76 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The number of gaming positions at March 31, 2001 was 868 compared to 921 at March 31, 2000. This decrease was due to the elimination of five live poker games. Consistent with an increase in net revenue, our win per gaming position increased 13.7% to $142.86 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $125.62 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Our casino revenues increased 2.9% to $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Based on revenues reported to the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission, our overall casino revenue increase represented the largest growth in riverboat casino revenues among the riverboat casinos operating within a 90 mile radius of the Diamond Jo and the second largest increase for all casino riverboats in the State of Iowa, the overall average of which decreased by 4.2% during the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000. Casino revenues were derived 85.2% from slot machines and 14.8% from table games for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to 79.6% from slot machines and 20.4% from table games for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Net food 8 and beverage revenues, other revenues and promotional allowances remained substantially unchanged at $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. Casino operating expenses increased 8.9% to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due primarily to an increase in casino and players club promotions of approximately $222,000, an increase in slot lease expense of approximately $50,000 due to an increase in the number of leased machines, a credit of approximately $75,000 in the prior period resulting from a large wide area progressive jackpot paid in the prior year, and an increase in gaming taxes due to increased gaming revenue of $62,000. Food and beverage expenses and boat operation expenses were substantially unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased slightly to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 10.7% to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 due primarily to the construction of a new restaurant and VIP room in the land-based pavilion. Net interest expense was substantially unchanged at $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Our cash balance decreased $1.0 million during the three month period ended March 31, 2001 to $7.4 million from $8.4 million at December 31, 2000. Cash flows from operating activities of $3.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 consisted of net income of $0.3 million increased by non-cash charges of $1.2 million, principally depreciation and amortization, and an increase in working capital of $2.3 million. The change in working capital is primarily comprised of an increase in accrued expenses of $2.3 million, which is principally due to an increase in accrued interest related to our 12 1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2006 (the "Senior Secured Notes"). Cash flows used for investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 was $0.9 million. These funds were primarily used for capital expenditures relating to the development of a new restaurant and VIP room in our land-based pavilion and the purchase of replacement slot machines, in an effort to improve the gaming experience of our patrons. Cash used for financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 of $3.9 million reflects the redemption of $3.0 million of preferred members' interest in accordance with the terms of our operating agreement, distributions to members of $0.4 million and deferred financing costs of $0.5 million related to the placement of our $10.0 million senior credit facility (the "Senior Credit Facility") in March 2001. We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our working capital and capital expenditure requirements, repay borrowings under our senior credit facility, and satisfy our other debt service requirements. 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. 9 ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to certain market risks which are inherent in our financial instruments which arise from transactions entered into in the normal course of business. Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge market risk. We also do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. We are exposed to interest rate risk due to changes in interest rates with respect to our long-term variable interest rate debt borrowing under our Senior Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2001, we had no borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility. We have estimated our market risk exposure using sensitivity analysis. We have defined our market risk exposure as the potential loss in future earnings and cash flow with respect to interest rate exposure of our market risk sensitive instruments assuming a hypothetical increase in market rates of interest of one percentage point. Assuming we borrow the maximum amount allowed under the Senior Credit Facility ($10.0 million), if market rates of interest on our variable rate debt increased by one percentage point, the estimated market risk exposure under the Senior Credit Facility would be approximately $0.1 million. We are also exposed to fair value risk due to changes in interest rates with respect to our long-term fixed interest rate debt borrowing. Our fixed rate debt instruments are not generally affected by a change in the market rates of interest, and therefore, such instruments generally do not have an impact on future earnings. However, future earnings and cash flows may be impacted by changes in interest rates related to indebtedness incurred to fund repayments as such fixed rate debt matures. The following table contains information relating to our fixed rate debt borrowings which are subject to interest rate risk (dollars in millions): Description Contract Terms Interest Rate Cost Fair Value - ----------- -------------- ------------- ----- ---------- Senior Secured Notes due July 1, 2006 12 1/4% fixed $71.0 $67.5* * Represents fair value as of May 4, 2001 based on information provided by an independent nationally recognized financial institution. 10 PART II.
