                          PENINSULA GAMING COMPANY, LLC
                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.   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
adverse 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
"Credit Agreement") 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 Credit  Agreement  is
secured by  substantially  all of the Company's assets (which assets also secure
the Company's  obligations  under its 12 1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2006 (the
"Senior Secured Notes")).  The Credit Agreement 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 Notes, including a minimum
earnings requirement of maintaining EBITDA of at least $10 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  credit
facilities.  For  purposes  of  the  Credit  Agreement,  EBITDA  is  defined  as
consolidated net earnings (or loss),  minus  extraordinary  gains, plus interest
expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization.  At June 30, 2001, the
Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

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 six month period ended June 30, 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



                                       6





offset to  revenues.  Such costs were  $376,119 and $463,106 for the three month
periods  ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,  respectively,  and $695,846 and $788,282
for the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.  Costs for
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 have been  reclassified from
casino  expense to  promotional  allowances  in the  Statements of Operations to
conform with the current year presentation. Adoption of EITF 00-22 had no effect
on net income to Common Members' Interest for the periods presented.

In June 2001,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 141, Business  Combinations  (SFAS 141) and
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  142,  Goodwill  and  Other
Intangible  Assets  (SFAS 142).  SFAS 141  addresses  financial  accounting  and
reporting for business  combinations  and requires  that the purchase  method of
accounting be used for all business combinations  initiated after June 30, 2001.
Under SFAS 142,  goodwill and certain other intangible  assets will no longer be
amortized into income.  SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after
December 15, 2001. The Company is evaluating  the impact of these  standards and
has not yet  determined  the effect of adoption on its  financial  position  and
results of operations.

5.   Reclassifications

Certain  information  has been  reclassified  to conform with the current year's
presentation.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2000

     For the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, Dubuque was a two-casino
market consisting of the Diamond Jo and the Greyhound Park. Casino gaming win in
the Dubuque  market  increased  4.4% to $21.9 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 from $20.9  million for the three months  ended June 30, 2000.  We
believe this increase was primarily due to targeted  players club promotions and
a continued focus on maintenance of our slot mix as well as a continued focus by
operators at the  Greyhound  Park on  maintenance  of their slot mix during such
period.  Admissions  to the  casinos in the  Dubuque  market  decreased  3.2% to
502,065  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2001 from  518,874 for the three
months ended June 30, 2000.  Our  admissions for the three months ended June 30,
2001  decreased 7.3% to 252,708 from 272,753 for the three months ended June 30,
2000.  We believe this  decrease is primarily  attributable  to the Diamond Jo's
targeted use of marketing  dollars  directed  primarily  towards more profitable
market  segments  during the three  months  ended June 30, 2001  compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2000.  For the three months ended June 30, 2001, our
share of the Dubuque market casino admissions  decreased to 50.3% from 52.6% for
the three  months ended June 30, 2000.  Our share of the Dubuque  market  casino
gaming win  increased  to 55.0% for the three  months  ended June 30,  2001 from
54.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2000. This increase is attributed to a
10.2%  increase in our slot  revenues  compared to only a 3.4%  increase in slot
revenues at the Greyhound Park.

     Net  revenues  increased  5.6% to $12.0  million for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 from $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 due to
an increase in our slot revenue of 10.2%, or $943,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001  compared to the three months ended June 30, 2000.  This  increase
was a result of an increased marketing focus to attract 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 $352,000.  This
decrease was a direct  result of a 1.1  percentage  point  decrease in our table
game hold  percentage and the  elimination of live poker games,  which accounted
for  approximately  $105,000 in table game revenue during the three months ended
June 30, 2000.  For the three months ended June 30, 2001,  our win per admission
increased  13.5% to $47.53 from $41.87 for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
The number of gaming  positions at June 30, 2001 was 868 compared to 875 at June
30, 2000. This decrease was due to the elimination of one black jack game during
such  period.  Consistent  with an increase in net  revenue,  our win per gaming
position  increased  10.5% to $152.05 for the three  months  ended June 30, 2001
from  $137.59 for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000.  Our casino  revenues
increased  5.2% to $12.0  million for the three  months ended June 30, 2001 from
$11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. This percentage increase
is significantly  above the average among riverboat casinos in the State of Iowa
whose overall average casino  revenues,  based on revenues  reported to the Iowa
Racing and Gaming  Commission,  decreased  by 1.5% during the three months ended
June 30, 2001 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2000.  Casino revenues
were derived  85.1% from slot  machines and 14.9% from table games for the three
months ended June 30, 2001  compared to 81.3% from slot  machines and 18.7% from
table games for the three months ended June 30, 2000.  Net food and beverage and
other revenues  remained  substantially  unchanged at $0.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.  Promotional  allowances  decreased 9.5% to
$0.7  million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $0.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000.

     Casino  operating  expenses  increased  2.5% to $5.2  million for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 from $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
2000 due  primarily to an increase in gaming taxes and an increase in casino and
players club promotions.  Food and beverage expenses and boat operation expenses
were substantially  unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 26.1% to $1.6 million for
the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 from $1.3  million  for the three  months
ended  June 30,  2000 due  primarily  to an  increase  in  professional  fees of
$125,000,  an increase in salary expense of $73,000 and an increase in marketing
and advertising of $61,000.

                                       9




     Depreciation and amortization  expenses  increased 9.8% to $1.0 million for
the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 from $0.9  million  for the three  months
ended June 30, 2000 due primarily to the  construction  of a new  restaurant and
VIP room in the land based pavilion  adjacent to the Diamond Jo during the first
quarter of 2001. Net interest expense increased slightly to $2.4 million for the
three  months  ended June 30, 2001 from $2.3  million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2000

     For the six months  ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,  Dubuque was a two-casino
market consisting of the Diamond Jo and the Greyhound Park. Casino gaming win in
the Dubuque market increased 4.8% to $42.0 million for the six months ended June
30, 2001 from $40.1  million for the six months ended June 30, 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 4.1% to 929,211
for the six months  ended June 30, 2001 from  968,791  for the six months  ended
June 30, 2000. We believe this decrease is primarily  attributable  to unusually
bad weather  during the first two months of 2001  compared to the same period in
2000,  the Diamond Jo's  targeted use of marketing  dollars  directed  primarily
towards more  profitable  market segments and one less gaming day during the six
months ended June 30, 2001  compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000.  For
the six months  ended June 30,  2001,  our share of the  Dubuque  market  casino
admissions decreased to 51.8% from 53.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
We believe  this  decrease is  primarily  attributable  to our  targeted  use of
marketing  dollars directed  primarily  towards more profitable  market segments
during the six months ended June 30, 2001  compared to the six months ended June
30, 2000.  Our share of the Dubuque  market casino gaming win decreased to 55.1%
for the six months  ended June 30, 2001 from 55.5% for the six months ended June
30, 2000. This decrease is attributed to a decrease in our table game revenue of
$914,000,  resulting from a 2.3 percentage point decrease in our table game hold
percentage as well as the  elimination  of live poker games which  accounted for
approximately  $217,000 in table game  revenue  during the six months ended June
30,  2000.  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 increased to 55.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

     Net revenues  increased 4.2% to $23.3 million for the six months ended June
30,  2001 from $22.3  million  for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 due to an
increase in our slot revenue of 10.1%,  or $1.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000.  This increase was
a result of an increased  marketing focus to attract 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 $0.9 million.
This  decrease was a direct  result of a 2.3  percentage  point  decrease in our
table  game hold  percentage  and the  elimination  of live  poker  games  which
accounted for approximately $217,000 in table game revenue during the six months
ended June 30,  2000.  Our  admissions  for the six months  ended June 30,  2001
decreased  7.6% to 481,271  from 520,659 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
We believe this  decrease is  primarily  attributable  to unusually  bad weather
during the first two months of 2001  compared  to the same  period in 2000,  the
Diamond Jo's targeted use of marketing  dollars directed  primarily towards more
profitable  market  segments and one less gaming day during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000. For the six months
ended June 30, 2001 our win per admission  increased 12.6% to $48.14 from $42.77
for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  The number of gaming  positions at June
30, 2001 was 868 compared to 875 at June 30, 2000.  This decrease was due to the
elimination of one black jack game.  Consistent with an increase in net revenue,
our win per gaming position  increased 12.2% to $147.48 for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 from $131.49 for the six months  ended June 30,  2000.  Our casino
revenues  increased 4.1% to $23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001
from $22.3  million  for the six months  ended June 30,  2000.  This  percentage
increase is significantly above the average among riverboat casinos in the State
of Iowa whose overall average casino  revenues  decreased by 2.9% during the six
months ended June 30, 2001  compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000 based
on revenues

                                       10




reported to the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission.  Casino revenues were derived
85.2% from slot  machines  and 14.8% from table  games for the six months  ended
June 30, 2001  compared to 80.5% from slot  machines  and 19.5% from table games
for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  Net food and beverage  revenues,  other
revenues and promotional allowances remained substantially unchanged for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

     Casino  operating  expenses  increased  5.5% to $10.1  million  for the six
months  ended June 30, 2001 from $9.6  million for the six months ended June 30,
2000.  This increase was due primarily to an increase in casino and players club
promotions of approximately  $300,000 and an increase of approximately  $180,000
in gaming taxes due to increased gaming revenue.  Food and beverage expenses and
boat operation  expenses were  substantially  unchanged for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000. Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased
to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 due to an increase in salary  expense of $195,000
and an increase in marketing advertising and promotions of $95,000.

     Depreciation and amortization  expenses increased 10.2% to $1.9 million for
the six months  ended June 30, 2001 from $1.7  million for the six months  ended
June 30, 2000 due primarily to the construction of a new restaurant and VIP room
in the land based  pavilion  during  the first  quarter  of 2001.  Net  interest
expense  increased  slightly to $4.7  million for the six months  ended June 30,
2001 from $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Our cash balance  increased  $1.8 million during the six month period ended
June 30, 2001 to $10,117,282 from $8,362,122 at December 31, 2000.

     Cash flows from  operating  activities  of $7.2  million  for the six month
period ended June 30, 2001 consisted of net income of $0.7 million  increased by
non-cash charges of $2.5 million, principally depreciation and amortization, and
an increase in working capital of $4.0 million. The change in working capital is
primarily comprised of an increase in accrued expenses of $4.3 million, which is
principally due to an increase in accrued interest related to our Senior Notes.

     Cash flows used for  investing  activities  for the six month  period ended
June 30,  2001 was $1.1  million.  These funds were  primarily  used for capital
expenditures relating to the development of a new restaurant and VIP room in the
land based  pavilion  adjacent to the Diamond Jo and the purchase of replacement
slot machines.

     Cash used for financing  activities for the six month period ended June 30,
2001 of $4.4  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 $0.9 million and deferred  financing  costs of $0.5
million  related to the placement of our $10 million  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.

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 the Credit
Agreement. As of June 30, 2001, we had no borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
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 Credit
Agreement ($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
Credit Agreement 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       $69.6*


*    Represents fair value as of July 31, 2001 based on information  provided by
     an independent nationally recognized financial institution.
